When Song Chengxuan entered the inn, it was already late.

On the way back from the palace, he happened to meet someone who was picking wine to sell, so he carried a pot with him, and when he entered the inn, he immediately made it hot, and drank two glasses with the guards.

The wine is not strong but warms the belly.

"Leave the night watch, and the rest go back and rest," Song Chengxuan said, "Don't be so careful." ”

There is a difference between men and women, and the female dependents live on the other side, and the government takes the Xu family and the Zhao family to patrol over there, and also guards against them by the way, so that they are also happy and quiet.

After all, for the Marquis of Anyi and the Marquis of Guangping, it is still unclear whether their Eastern and Southern Song Dynasty families are friends or foes, just like the noble and famous families will naturally regard the newly rising family as a thorn.

In fact, they have all forgotten that now that Da Zhou is no longer prosperous, it is difficult to maintain the prosperity of the family by relying on the family business left by the ancestors.

He understood this truth as early as when he was ten years old when he led people to fight against pirates and fought to his death to retrieve the goods.

"It's not quiet here after all, so there are more people to protect Childe."

"Do as I say." Song Chengxuan roasted his hands against the fire, turned around and walked back to the house.

Soon the courtyard fell silent.

The wine is a bit high, and if you close your eyes, you can immediately fall asleep in a daze.

Song Chengxuan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, took off his boots, and lay on his side on the wooden bed.

There was still the "beep" sound of the fire burning in the yard, which just made people sleep.

Song Chengxuan stopped moving, as if he had fallen asleep.

The moonlight poured in through the poplar door, and someone slowly pushed the door open, and stood tiptoeing into the room, and after carefully discerning everything in the room, he drew the dagger in his arms, and walked step by step to the bed.

He took the opportunity to bring firewood to the inn, and had been quietly waiting for the opportunity, and although there were guards outside, they always had a time to nap, and what pleased him the most was that this man had brought wine with him when he returned, and those who drank it always slept more deeply.

Walking to the side of the bed, he raised the dagger in his hand high, hesitated for a moment, and finally pursed his lips and stabbed at the person on the bed.

At the moment when the dagger was about to sink into the man's body, the man's arm moved, and then there was a "bang" sound, and the dagger slammed into the blade of the long sword.

The man with the dagger let out a "ahhhh

He swallowed and mustered up the courage to shout, "Killed...... Someone is going to kill someone. Then he twisted his neck against the blade.

Almost at the same time, footsteps were heard in the courtyard, followed by someone carrying a lamp through the door.

I saw Song Chengxuan put down the long sword in his hand, and a string of blood beads flowed down his sword body, and the person in front of him covered his neck, and his body swayed as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time.

Zhou Yue was stunned there, only to feel that there was a flower in front of him, and Li Xu had already walked in front, stretching out his hand to support the injured person.

It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were shabby, and he looked swarthy and emaciated because he had been working outside all the year round, and now his face was covered with a shadow of death, and his eyes were wide open with a look of terror, like a shivering leaf, which would fall from the treetops at any time and place.

Li Xu held the young man in his arms.

The young man's blood dripped onto Li Xuyue's white robe.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Yue's face turned blue and asked Song Chengxuan, "What an old kid is this, you can do it." ”

Song Chengxuan ignored Zhou Yue and took two steps forward, and the rushing power made Zhou Yue's hind legs weak and couldn't help but retreat.

Zhou Yue didn't dare to speak more.

Song Chengxuan squatted down and picked up the "dagger" that fell on the ground, this was obviously a sharp weapon made by the young man himself, a handle made of wood, and a piece of iron was added in the middle, the two sides of the iron tool were sharpened, and it looked very rough, but it was enough to use it to kill people.

He had long thought that Song was not a good person, so when he saw Fang Cai's scene, Zhou Yue immediately felt sorry for the young man, and it was only now that he remembered that this was Song's room.

But why did such a poor boy come to commit murder?

It must have been Song who did something unseemly.

Zhou Yue walked to Li Xu's side to help.

The young man panted, like a fish out of water, and grabbed Li Xu tightly with one hand.

"Don't be afraid," Li Xu comforted the boy softly, "let me see your injuries." ”

The young man's hand holding his neck was trembling, he could feel the blood dripping down his fingers, he stared at Li Xu's warm eyes tightly, and finally chose to trust.

Li Xu brought the towel, and when the boy let go of his hand, he pressed the towel against the bleeding wound.

The wound was long, but it was not fatal.

Li Xu couldn't help but raise his head to look at Song Chengxuan, only by using the sword in his hand very skillfully can he decide a person's life and death in a single thought.

"My lord," the young man looked at Li Xu earnestly, and finally said in a trembling voice, "If it weren't for you...... Come in, I'...... I have died by his sword, and he is...... The man who killed my brother. ”

The young man pointed to Song Chengxuan.

With that, the boy's eyes began to redden, and his thin body struggled like a dying beast trying to make a final effort.

"I'm going to kill him and avenge my brother."

Song Chengxuan threw the dagger that the young man fell to the ground, and it happened to fall on the young man's hand: "It's not easy to kill people with this, and when you survive, let's talk about what grievances there are between us." ”

After Song Chengxuan finished speaking, he looked at Yongye, who immediately took out a bottle of trauma medicine from his arms.

"No," the boy shrank back in resistance, he looked up at Li Xu, "I'd rather die...... I don't need his stuff either...... Your Excellency, please save me! ”

Li Xu helped the young man to sit down on a stool, and Zhou Yue also found the wound medicine from the luggage and brought it over.

The medicine was dissolved and applied to the wound, Li Xu wrapped the wound with a cloth towel again, and when everything was done, Xu Qingan and Zhao Er entered the door first, followed by Xu Qinghuan.

The situation in the room Xu Qinghuan did not feel disobedient, when the young man faced Li Xu, his eyes flashed with expectation and trust, and when he looked at Song Chengxuan, his eyes were full of hatred and fear.

Li Xu's gentleness and thoughtfulness will always make people yearn for it, if there is a person like Li Xu by his side, he will ask for help whenever there is a difficulty, and Li Xu has indeed helped many people.

This is why, in his previous life, Li Xu won the support of the people of Northern Xinjiang and had an excellent reputation among the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Song Chengxuan was the ruthless traitor.

"My lord," the young man grabbed Li Xu's arm, "you want to avenge me." ”

"I'm not an adult," Li Xu said softly, "This place is not far from the mansion, Lord Wang Yun happens to be here, if you have any grievances, you can explain it to Lord Wang Yun." ”
