Jiang Lingran looked at the backs of Qingyu and Dahu.

secretly thought that when I returned to Jiangnan this time, I should pick a good day and let the two of them get married.

She didn't see it in her previous life, but now, she can't have any more regrets.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly noticed something, narrowed his eyes, and turned his head to look behind him.

As she gazed, the dark blue curtain fell.

Uncle Wen noticed her strange appearance and frowned, "What's the matter, girl?" ”

Jiang Lingran stared at the fluttering curtain, frowned, and said, "This carriage has been with us for a long time. ”

Uncle Wen's heart sank when he heard this, and his eyes looked over vigilantly, and he saw an inconspicuous carriage.

On the wheel of the carriage, a coachman in a cloak and a hat sat steadily.

The brim of the hat is low, making it difficult to see his true face.

Uncle Wen was uncertain: "Is there one?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "I saw it when I was outside the ready-to-wear store. ”

The coachman pressed down his hat and whispered, "I've been discovered." ”

There was a pause in the carriage, and a deep voice said, "Go." ”

The coachman drove away.

When he leaves, something is wrong! Uncle Wen frowned and said, "I'll go and see the situation!" ”

Unfamiliar with life, Jiang Lingran didn't want him to take risks, so he hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't go, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

After this delay, the carriage had already gone away, and Uncle Wen couldn't catch up even if he wanted to, so he had to give up.

"Stop shopping, let's go back." After a pause, he said, "Don't stay here for the Chinese Valentine's Day, let's leave tomorrow." ”

Jiang Lingran nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Qingyu bought the bead flowers, and a few people walked back.

The rain is getting heavier, and the raindrops are hitting the surface of the umbrella, ticking.

Jiang Lingran didn't feel a little distracted, she had been out of Beijing for half a year.

Could it be someone she knew who was sitting in the carriage?

Baixiang didn't understand, this night and day, desperately hurrying, in order to see Jiang Lingran as soon as possible?

Why do you see it now, but you have to leave?!

Yan Qi lowered her eyelashes and leaned against the corner.

Silent thought about the vigilant and cold look she had just cast.

Somehow, he was so panicked that he didn't dare to come closer.

"Childe, aren't you going to see the girl?" After enduring and enduring, Baixiang still couldn't hold back and asked softly.

Yan Qi did not answer this question.

The carriage went all the way to the inn where Jiang Lingran was staying.

Yan Qi stayed across the street from her room.

Because of the carriage, Jiang Lingran and the others were vigilant, and the dinner was used in their respective rooms.

After eating, a few people packed up their few salutes and prepared to leave tomorrow.

Uncle Wen knocked on the door and whispered, "Lock the doors and windows, and if there is something, make a noise immediately, and I will be next door." ”

Xiang Zhu stood in the door and answered, and checked the doors and windows again.

Just about to turn off the lights, Jiang Lingran said: "Keep it, don't panic if you have something." ”

Xiang Zhu nodded, leaving the candle behind.

The three of them lay down in their clothes.

Jiang Lingran stared at the top of the tent for a while, not sleepy.

Turned over on his side, looked at the two who also hadn't slept, and said softly: "It's okay, don't think about it, rest early, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

The two nodded.

The room was extremely quiet, with the crackling of candles and the noisy sound of rain outside the window.

Jiang Lingran gradually felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he had fallen asleep in a few breaths.

In the opposite room, Baixiang sat by the door, and in the silence of the night, he suddenly heard very shallow footsteps.

He opened his eyes, and one hand instantly pressed to his waist, grabbing the hilt of the knife.

After listening for a while, the footsteps got closer and closer.

He sat up without making a sound, his eyes wary.

On the low couch facing the door, Yan Qi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, also realized that something was wrong and opened his eyes.

Sideways glance at Baixiang.

Baixiang put her hand to her lips and motioned for Yan Qi to silence.

Yan Qi sat up with his hands and touched the folding fan on his side.

In the silence of the vigilance, an extremely low sound of the door opening was heard, and then the footsteps disappeared.

The two glanced at each other, their scalps were numb, and they stood up.

Baixiang was the first to open the door, stepped across the aisle in two steps, and kicked open the opposite door.

Yan Qi followed, and when he stepped into the room, he saw a black-clothed masked man standing in front of the couch, bending down to do something to the people on the couch.

The man in black heard the sound of kicking the door, turned around in horror, and before he could see the person clearly, an object was coming, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

The folding fan fell diagonally on the table next to it, smashing two cups.

In an instant, Baixiang and Yan Qi were already approaching the man in black.

One-on-two, the man in black fell from the beginning, and after a few rounds, he was beaten to the ground, and his hands were grazed.

Baixiang pressed him to his knees and shouted, "Be honest! ”

Yan Qi walked quickly to the couch and reached out to probe Jiang Lingran's nose.

Breathe shallowly and evenly, and fall asleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he realize that his feet were weak, and he sat down on the edge of the couch with his hands, closed her loose placket, and covered her with the quilt.

Looking at her quiet appearance, Yan Qi felt like a knife in her heart, and her mouth was bitter.

He didn't dare to think what would happen to her today if he wasn't there!

He turned his head, looked at the man in black with a solemn eyebrow, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?!" ”

The man in black was silent, and his gaze moved away from Yan Qi in a hurry.

Seeing that he didn't move, Baixiang gritted his teeth and stepped on his calf, hearing a clattering sound.

The man in black suddenly snorted, and the severe pain made his whole body tremble: "It's the emperor!" ”

Yan Qi's eyes were in a daze, and there was a momentary blankness on his face, so that the anger between his eyebrows eased.

After a pause, he got up and walked to the man in black, bent down to look at him: "Say what you just said again!" ”

The tone was even colder than it had just been.

The man in black didn't dare to look at Yan Qi's eyes, lowered his eyes and said, "It's from the emperor's subordinates." He said again: "Shouldn't Qi Gongzi be in Jiangnan?" How will it be in Yangzhou? ”

Yan Qi's expression was blank, and he asked in a trance, "The emperor sent you?" ”

The man in black nodded.

Yan Qi said again: "What did the emperor send you to do?" ”

The man in black didn't answer immediately, he struggled with the arm that was pressed by Baixiang, and said, "My own people, can you let go?" ”

Baixiang sneered: "Who is your own person with you?" ”

Thinking that he was the emperor's person, Baixiang didn't make up for it.

frowned and glanced at Yan Qi's expression, then let go of his hand.

Without the support of Baixiang, the man in black fell to the ground.

Trembling hands wanted to touch the crushed legs, but they didn't dare to touch them.

Holding his hands back and leaning against the leg of the table, he pulled down his scarf.

The face is very raw, Yan Qi doesn't know it.

The man in black took out two needles from the inside of the clothes on his chest and held them up to Yan Qi.

Yan Qi looked at the embroidery needle in his hand and was puzzled.

The man in black said: "This needle is quenched with poison, and it is shallowly pierced on the body, without a single wound." ”

"After that, no one can find out." Saying that, he took a painful breath and brought out the bloody breath between the roars: "Little Brother Baixiang's attack is really black, and my leg is a waste." ”26
