Chapter 32: The Third Man

Luo Sheng stared intently at the person who was approaching, and he had already judged from the figure of the person that it was a woman.

Who would be in the dead of night in this long-abandoned mansion?

Luo Sheng's hand holding the dagger tightened more and more.

To her horror, the man came straight to her.

One step, two steps, three steps......

The man was already so close that Luo Sheng had to raise his hand holding the dagger, ready to swing the dagger as sharp as clay.

When she was the lord of Qingyang, she learned boxing, kicking, riding and archery, which was what her father required her.

In my father's words, it is not a bad thing to learn some kung fu, at least when you want to beat a horse in the future, you can rely on yourself, so as not to embarrass your subordinates.

She has always been obedient, and she is not bad at boxing, foot, riding and shooting.

And Miss Luo has obviously also practiced martial arts, regardless of the level, her physical condition alone is stronger than her.

It's not surprising to think about it, the girl who has nothing to do and leads a group of people to the street to get into trouble should at least be able to whip a whip or something.

Luo Sheng felt that a dagger was not safe, and considering that he did not bring Miss Luo's long whip today, he bent down and picked up a stone.

The man stopped more than a foot away from Luo Sheng and suddenly knelt down.

Luo Sheng's eyes shrank.

If she wasn't mistaken, the man was facing in the ...... The embroidery building.

The man slammed his head a few times in the direction of the embroidery building, and then a rustling sound sounded, which was particularly clear in the empty and dilapidated deserted house.

Luo Sheng could barely see the man unwrapping the burden by the moonlight, but he couldn't see what he had taken out of it.

Until the familiar smell wafts in.

It was the smell of burnt paper that she had smelled not long ago—a faint, very heavy smell.

Just when Luo Sheng realized what the man was doing, a suppressed cry suddenly sounded.

Luo Sheng held his breath for a moment.

Today is the death day of hundreds of people in Zhennan Wangfu, and at this time, she came to the palace to burn paper money, she is sure that the people in front of her have a lot to do with the palace, and even survivors!

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Sheng couldn't help but be excited.

A small whimper drifted down the wind, followed by swirling paper money.

The mischievous gray butterfly landed on the hem of Luo Sheng's inky clothes, but it couldn't attract her attention.

All her attention was given to the woman who was crying in front of her.

"The county lord, the servant has come to see you......"

Luo Sheng was struck by lightning and couldn't move at all.

The voice...... It's Xiuyue!

She has four big maids, and when she left the cabinet, she took away the sparse wind of the director and the morning flower who was good at grooming, and left the outstanding Jiangxue and the good cooking Xiuyue to serve her mother.

Twelve years ago tonight, Wei Qiang picked up her Xipa to go to the front yard to toast, and she sat on the side of the wedding bed and waited quietly for the groom to come back.

The dragon and phoenix candles with thick children's arms are burning lively, and festive candles burst from time to time.

But what she was waiting for was not Wei Qiang, but Jiang Xue, who was covered in blood.

Jiang Xue, who grew up with her since she was a child, was praised by the master who taught her boxing and kicking, and the talented Jiang Xue broke into the new house and fell in front of her, desperately taking her last breath to bring her the bad news of Zhennan Wangfu.

After waking up in Jinsha, Luo Sheng, who recalled this day countless times, had a trace of happiness in addition to heartache.

She was grateful to Jiang Xue.

If it weren't for the news from Jiang Xue's desperate death, she would have sex with her newlywed husband like all brides, and become a fool who can't forgive herself even if she dies.

Jiang Xue, who reported the news, died, and Shufeng and Chaohua, who married to Pingnan Wangfu, could not live, but Xiuyue, who stayed in Zhennan Wangfu, was alive!

Luo Sheng's fingertips trembled slightly, and it took all his strength to restrain the urge to step forward and recognize Xiuyue.

For her, she just closed her eyes and opened her eyes again, but for Xiuyue, twelve years have passed, and she has even changed her body.

At least now she can't recognize Xiuyue as the county lord.

The whimpering sound in the wind became more and more sad, and those murmurs drifted into Luo Sheng's ears word for word.

"Jiangxue, you kill a thousand knives, why do you want to report to the county lord, obviously the county lord doesn't have to die...... Woo woo, I can't complain about you, I know that the county lord would rather die than stay in the Pingnan Palace......"

Luo Sheng silently listened to Xiuyue's incoherent crying, and the corners of his eyes gradually became wet.

The four big girls who have served her since she was a child are all people who know her very well, so Jiang Xue knew that she would kill herself and rushed to report it, and Xiuyue couldn't complain even if she had thousands of complaints.

They all knew that it would be more merciful for her to die than to live in that situation.

She had taught them not to use their self-righteous goodness to make decisions for others, and they did.

The wind was a little strong, and the pile of burning paper burned quickly, and Xiuyue sent a wad of paper money to the tongue of fire.

"Jiangxue, Shufeng, Chaohua, you serve the county lord well, and temporarily do my errand, and when I find out the news of the little prince, I will go to see you...... Woo woo, the county lord is too bitter, I need good news to see her......"

Luo Sheng, who was hiding behind a tree, could no longer breathe.

What did she hear?

Little Prince-She heard it right, Xiuyue is talking about the little prince!

Could it be that her brother is still alive?

This is impossible, the younger brother is the only son of his father, since the Zhennan Wangfu has suffered a catastrophe, how can he be let go.

Luo Sheng had countless thoughts swirling in his mind, and finally these thoughts all turned into one: she wanted to recognize Xiuyue!

Only by recognizing Xiuyue can she solve these doubts.

As long as Luo Sheng thought of the possibility that his brother was still alive, he trembled with excitement.

The younger brother is the old son of his father and mother, and he encountered such a tragedy only a few days after he was born.

Her younger brother doesn't even have a big name yet, and only has a milk name called Bao'er.

The moon in the sky hid in the clouds, and Xiuyue fell on the ground and cried a little forgetful.

The wind blew Luo Sheng's hair, but she stood motionless behind the tree.

A person's heart is too bitter, and he always has to cry to feel good.

She didn't go over until Xiuyue had cried enough.

As for her, she is not qualified to cry now, let alone feel good.

The burnt paper money was blown away by the wind, and the crying gradually stopped.

Luo Sheng was about to take a step, but his whole body tensed.

In addition to her and Xiuyue, there is one more person.

It was a tall man in black, who couldn't see clearly because he was facing back, but she was sure that this man was outstanding.

Who is this man? Could it be that he came to follow Xiuyue?

Luo Sheng's mind turned sharply, and he saw the man in black quietly approaching Xiuyue and slashing at the back of Xiuyue's neck with a hand knife.

At this moment, Luo Sheng didn't think much about it, and lifted the stone and smashed it at the back of the man's head.

Between the fires and stones, the man whose head was hit by a stone fell, and Xiuyue, who heard the movement, turned around suddenly, covered her mouth and retreated again and again.

Luo Sheng blinked, feeling lucky.

She had a hunch that if it wasn't for the moment when the man made a move on Xiuyue, it would be difficult to say who would fall.

Luo Sheng bent down to help Xiuyue, and glanced at the man's face by the way.
