The cold moon is like frost.

"Jing Chi is a simple and righteous person, I only hope that our affairs will not hurt him."

Gu Zi'an didn't speak, his eyes were dark.

Meng Yining didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, they felt that someone was following them.

She turned her head in an instant, up and down in the dark night, her eyes like a dark gem.

Gu Zi'an followed her gaze and looked over: "Gong Qing." ”

"You know?"

"The teacher's shadow guard lent one to the two of us, and it's not been too peaceful lately, so it's better to pay attention."

Meng Yining looked at the figure in the darkness and seemed to see a man in his early twenties with an agile body, his eyes resolutely protecting the two. She smiled at the man, "Would you like to invite him over for a bite to eat?" ”

"If it's not in order, just give it to the teacher."

Eight years ago, Beiyang was defeated, Zhang Ji blocked the whole body and established eight assassination tuns in Daxia, Yanrong, and Beiyang, disguised as shops and restaurants. Each assassin tun is composed of five soldiers, three shadow guards and a tun chief. The garrison bribed the locals with a large amount of gold to make it work for us.

And this time, the people who came to Daxia to secretly protect Zhang Ji were Gong Qing and Gong Ze, the two shadow guards in Beiyang.

Meng Yining looked at the red lanterns and the lotus lanterns in the water, holding the jujube kernel cake brought out in his hand, and his cheeks were like a mole.

"How dare you lie to me! The lotus cake I eat is all wolfberry and begonia rice, why do you have white sugar and jujube paste? Lie to Miss Ben, eat the bear's heart leopard gall! "Whose girl's shrill voice shouted so that the whole street could see it.

The vendor hurriedly apologized: "Most of this wild rice has been taken away by the palace nobles, what about our small business, we can only afford to buy a handful of wild rice by selling these!" Please raise your hand and let me go! ”

Meng Yining is short in stature, and the advantage is that he is agile and fast, but the disadvantage is that he can't see it when he sees the excitement. She tugged at Gu Zi'an's sleeve, stood on tiptoe, and glanced over the crowd of onlookers, wanting to see what was going on.

Gu Zi'an looked at her curious look and asked, "Do you want me to hug you?" ”

"No, no, no."

Although he refused, Meng Yining had already been lifted up slightly.

I saw the peddler's sad face, wanting to cry without tears and begging for mercy again and again. After going out to set up a stall for so many years, I bumped into this eldest lady who didn't know anyone.

Meng Yining saw the person's appearance clearly, the vulgar pink cloak was embroidered with a few plum blossoms, his hair was coiled high, and he pointed at the middle-aged man selling lotus cakes proudly.

She patted Gu Zi'an and was put down.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zi'an asked.

"If you meet someone you don't want to meet, let's go."

Gu Zi'an raised his head and smiled, he met with He Miaomiao on a narrow road, can't he hide if he can't be provoked? Thinking about it, he took Meng Yining's little hand and walked back.

I didn't take a single meter before I heard the snarky insults behind me. "You deceive people, see if I don't smash your stall!"

He Miao screamed, like a sparrow tearing its throat. Meng Yining rolled her eyes and looked back. She heard the footsteps of Miss Tsuru's entourage and walked to the small stall.

Amid the voices of the elderly men begging for mercy, the crowd gathered more and more.

"I've been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, and I've never heard of lotus cake being made of wild rice cakes! You're going to beat people indiscriminately, and everyone will give me a critique! ”

He Miao thrust her waist: "You still complain?" I've been snack on this stuffing! I bought it from you today to give you face, I didn't expect you to frame me! ”

Because of the water and soil, the cultivation of wild rice is very bitter and can only be used medicinally. And the soft and glutinous ones were resold by small traders from other countries or paid tribute by the courtiers. Although it is not particularly expensive, it is not something that small traders and hawkers can afford. Most of the people here have never even seen each other.

"I've never even seen a wild rice," someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

Someone immediately began to chim.

"The wild rice that people eat is all tribute, but it's not like we are hungry and full!"

"Lotus cake, why have I never seen wild rice, I have eaten white sugar since I was a child!"

One person quarreled around He Miaomiao.

She didn't expect things to develop, after all, in her impression, the lotus cake was always soft and soft with the fragrance of osmanthus. She froze in place, her face was red from being said, and she lost her strength just now.

But He Miaomiao's character does not allow her to admit defeat.

"Smash me!"

She pointed to the vendor's cart, her eyes were red, her voice was sharp, and several blue-clad attendants walked straight forward, their expressionless faces as if justice was written on them.

"And smash people's stalls!"

"Is there a royal law?"

The elderly man was very familiar with his neighbors here, and everyone was indignant when he saw that his old acquaintance was about to be bullied. But who would dare to touch this menacing lady?

The vendor knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, and he kowtowed, his head already rubbed out of blood.

When He Miaomiao heard the shout, she directly made a color.

The retinue flashed their knives and blocked the crowd. The sword was hideous, and the copper-colored blade reflected everyone's resentful expressions.

People gritted their teeth, but no one dared to step forward. After all, knives don't have long eyes.

He Miao smiled proudly, her eyes full of disdain.

Meng Yining looked at Gu Zi'an.

"It's not easy for people to make money."

Gu Zi'an could hear what he wanted to do: "Go ahead." ”

Meng Yining opened the crowd, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at He Miaomiao with a sneer.

"Miss Crane of the Crane Mansion, dare to ask him what crime he has committed, so you will be asked to dance with a knife and a gun on the street?"

Between the eyebrows and eyes is undisguised contempt.

As soon as I heard the Crane Mansion, the air was filled with a cold hum. Who doesn't know that Hefu has accumulated so much wealth by looting the people's anointing and people's fat, and the news of buying and selling officials came out decades ago, and I don't know what means it used, and it is still active in the government and the opposition today.

I heard that Shunliao County used to be under the jurisdiction of the people of Hefu, and later the people couldn't bear the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they didn't even want to leave their ancestral homes.

He Miaomiao looked for the voice, and her face turned blue: "I thought it was a wild girl who came out of nowhere, but it turned out to be you slut!" Your country is going to die, so let you stumble for a few more days! ”

Meng Yining's face was as cold as ice, and the corners of her mouth curled up a smile to look at her.

"It turns out that Tsuru-sama's daughter, phew!"

The crowd cursed and foamed at her pale pink pleated skirt. He Miaomiao's face flushed, her eyes widened, and she pushed away the entourage beside her, pointing at the crowd and scolding.

"You're such a big!"

"My father is a loyal minister of Great Xia, you are a common man, you dare to ...... me" He Miao panted, without the noble appearance just now, but like a village shrew.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

The entourage beside him hurriedly wanted to "arrest and bring to justice" this person from the crowd, who knew that he was moving fast, and he ran away as soon as he slipped out. He Miao was full of resentment, and could only vent it on Meng Yining.

raised his hand and was about to hit Meng Yining in the face.

"Smack."

The slap did not fall on the girl's face, but Meng Yining held her slender wrist tightly, and the bracelets of the two pretended to make a crisp sound.

"Hurt people at will, isn't Miss Crane a little presumptuous?" Gu Zi'an looked at her coldly.

He Miaomiao raised her head and glared at Gu Zi'an, although her background did not allow her to reach out and spit on Gu Zi'an, but she really wanted to make such a vulgar move. Her chest heaved, "Just by you, dare to be so arrogant?" ”

Meng Yining shook it hard and stumbled He Miaomiao. She sat down on the lotus cake she had pushed. The puff pastry was sticky with dirt.

Her eyes were full of arrogance and grievances.

He Miao screamed and kicked indiscriminately, "You, you! ”

Although her entourage is not as powerful as the palace guards Kong Wu, they are all strong men at the head of Gao Meng Yining. In an instant, the spearhead of the blue-clothed entourage was aimed at the delicate Meng Yining, wanting to get rid of this seemingly thin girl in one fell swoop.

As soon as the words fell, the six people stood in a row in front of Meng Yining, pulled out the long knife at their waists, and stared at her fiercely.

She sneered, and patted Gu Zi'an lightly with her hand, telling him to step back and not move her hand to hit him.

Gu Zi'an shook his head helplessly, smiled and took a few steps back, looking like he was watching a good show.

There are also people in the crowd who are not afraid of causing trouble, and they can't take their eyes off the excitement.

She didn't hold the knife, and said in a deep voice, "I can't do it." ”

With that, she quickly stiffened the sharp blade and rushed over like a whirlwind. Without any complicated moves, he snatched the sharp knife in one person's hand with his backhand, and his body shape was unpredictable. Before they could react, the girl's other hand grabbed one of the man's wrists and struck her elbow hard at her abdomen.

With a "click", the knife fell to the ground.

Immediately after, she dodged the two of them like lightning and kicked her in the back. The attendant screamed and fell to the ground, unable to move.

"On weekdays, you are used to being arrogant, ignoring the royal law in broad daylight, and you don't know if you think this Daxia surname is He!" Meng Yining looked at the fallen man as if he was contemptuous of maggots.

He Miaomiao's face flushed, and she couldn't speak: "You wait!" ”

Meng Yining didn't look at her squarely, stepped on the messy people who fell to the ground, and pulled Gu Zi'an away from this chaos.

Before they could return home, the two hid in the alley.

"Was it too reckless? She's going to come to the door! Meng Yining whispered, pulling Gu Zi'an's sleeve with a look of grievance.

Gu Zi'an took her hand instead: "Did it hurt just now?" ”

"It's not that you don't know me, it doesn't hurt. It's just worrying about ......"

"Don't worry, if you really come to the door to find trouble, it will be bad for the relationship between the two countries."

Meng Yining was still worried, "Why don't you beat me?" ”

"Huh?"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Before Gu Zi'an could react, Meng Yining slapped him in the face, and it hurt hotly. It's a little too ruthless, and I'm really scared to do it.

Before Gu Zi'an could speak, the girl spoke: "If you ask, just say that she slapped me first, you have to help me." ”

Gu Zi'an touched half of her swollen face: "You beat her harder than her." ”

It's late at night, but the house is still brightly lit.

Meng Yining didn't go to see Jingchi, but went straight back to the house.

Jing Chi saw Gu Zi'an, and said with a smile that his father knew about the assassination, and the assassin should be severely punished if he was caught. And King Xia also sent some precious medicinal materials to replenish Gu Zi'an's body.

The two sat in the room, drinking millet, red dates, and mushroom rice porridge. Thick curtains and doors cut off the wind howling outside.

"Father knows that the assassin is Yan Rong's." Jing Chi said.

"They're too presumptuous to look at what this place is? I didn't put you in my eyes, and I didn't put Daxia in my eyes. ”

"Hey, where's Yi Ning?"

"Yi Ning." Gu Zi'an's voice seemed to hide displeasure. In fact, he was not unhappy, he just pretended to be and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Jing Chi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I met Miss Tsuru."

"It's her again!"

Miss Crane once begged her father to let her marry Jingchi. Looking down and asking for advice, Jing Chi said bluntly that he didn't like pretentious girls, so he directly rejected this family business. He Miaomiao's marriage proposal failed, and she sprinkled all her anger on Meng Yining. often can't get along with her in public. If Meng Yining was standing with him, Jing Chi would naturally be able to deal with it. But most of the time, the two of them sat separately at the banquet, which gave He Miao a chance to splash.

Last time, he saw He Miao slap Meng Yining, which directly made her take two steps back. He rushed forward and protected Meng Yining. Yi Ning didn't say anything, turned around and left.

King Xia also heard about the festival, but it was not a big deal, so he didn't care. After all, Meng Yining is just Gu Zi'an's big girl in his eyes. And Crane Miao Miao's flying and domineering is also famous for Chengping, as long as he doesn't kill people and set fires, he will turn a blind eye.

Meng Yining naturally wouldn't point to King Xia to call the shots for herself, and she didn't care about this. It's just that people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so I can only pass by.

When I returned to Beiyang, the new and old accounts were settled together.

When Jing Chi heard Gu Zi'an say that the two met He Miaomiao, he felt a chill in his heart. At this time, Meng Yining must be sulking in the house.

"I'll go see her."

As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the door, followed by Gu Zi'an.

"Yi Ning." He cried out, and saw that the door was not closed. Meng Yining turned her back to him and looked at the Lamei picture on the wall.

Hearing Jing Chi's voice, Meng Yining pretended to tremble, and said resentfully: "Your Highness, don't come over, it's too late, you're tired." ”

When Jing Chi heard this voice, he became even more anxious.

"Turn around and see what is going on with me."

"It's ugly."

The voice has a crying tone.

Gu Zi'an stood behind him, squinting his eyes and laughing. He didn't know what Meng Yining had made of himself. I was looking forward to the moment when she turned her head.

Seeing that she was stubborn, Jing Chi had no choice but to step forward and pat her on the shoulder to make her turn around.

Meng Yining sighed, pouted and turned slowly, this face startled Jing Chi.

Gu Zi'an saw that his eyebrows were raised, and his pupils were dilated in an instant.

I saw that Meng Yining's face was half red as if he had been stung by a bee, and there was a little blood on the corner of his mouth. There seemed to be nail scratches on his white face, and there were muddy dots on his eyebrows.

Her eyes were red, as if she had been greatly wronged, and tears filled her eyes.

"I didn't mean to." The tail note trembles, like a wounded fawn.

Jing Chi looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong?" ”

"What else could it be? It's not like you haven't seen it. Meng Yining's tone was five points coquettish and five points complaining.

The scar on her face made Jing Chi clench his fists, so presumptuous. Originally, she had already warned He Miaomiao last time, but she didn't expect her to torture Meng Yining even more.

Gu Zi'an said solemnly: "I met Miss He on the street and had a dispute with a vendor, saying that the lotus cake that people bought was made of sugar and jujube paste, but what I ate was made of wild rice cakes, and I wanted to smash the stall that people relied on for their livelihood." The two of us happened to be passing by, and Meng Yining couldn't see it, so he dissuaded him, and he was inevitably beaten again. ”

Jing Chi frowned resentfully: "It's really too deceitful, why don't you fight back, there are considerations in the palace, and you can fight back on the street." Something happened, I'm on top! ”

The last six words were sonorous and powerful, and Meng Yining was relieved.

She sobbed and said intermittently, "I, I fought back." ”

One sentence with a thick nasal voice: "I'm afraid!" What if you find one! I'm not going to be thrown into jail! ”

She tugged at Jing Chi's sleeve: "Then you have to come and see me." ”

"How is it possible, if he dares to find ......"

Before the words fell, the butler was heard shouting outside the door: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Crane doesn't know what is menacing, and he wants to see Miss Meng by name!" ”

Jing Chi flicked his sleeves angrily, "Go, I'll go!" ”
