It was day and night, and it was so heavy that it seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, and the humidity in the air was so heavy that people couldn't breathe, and the breath in the dark room also made people depressed and couldn't breathe.

There was only a dull, slowly sounding footsteps, slowly walking in this study, round and round.

There were several people kneeling underground, all of them pursing their lips, their heads did not dare to lower, and they did not dare to come out, just waiting for Wu Guogong to snort in anger, and kicked one of them to the ground with a fierce kick, and said angrily, "Fool, waste!" If you can't do this well, what's the use of you? With so many people shooting and only killing one woman, aren't you usually very powerful? At the critical moment, one by one, the mud can't support the wall, what should the old man do if he has been planning for so long? You say?! ”

If Hua Zongmin is put on the throne, will the Barbarian Tail Country be able to easily get back in hand?

Idiot, idiot!

"Master Hou is angry, his subordinates ...... Subordinates are willing to wear guilt and make meritorious contributions! This time, he will definitely be able to win the head of Hua Zongmin! ”

The first subordinate gritted his back teeth and said that this time the assassination failed, and he didn't care how many people they dispatched, it was all because of ...... Nalan City struck.

Nalan City is the emperor's heart, a body of kung fu, and he is also very comparable, but also scheming, he was also careless at the time, so he robbed Hua Zongmin and left, otherwise, it was Hua Zongmin and his wife, buried together in the palace of the king of Hades.

"Go at this time, it's hard to guarantee that you don't throw yourself into the net! What else can you do with you idiots? ”

As it turns out, fools are also very smart.

Not long after Wu Guogong finished saying this, the heavy rain outside at night finally rumbled again.

The lightning that startled the night split the light of the whole night, showing this rainy night more and more hideous and cold.

Nalan Cheng was busy all night, and returned to the mansion in a carriage, and someone had already stepped forward, took the big umbrella in his hand, and sent a clean towel to his hand, "Childe, Madame heard that Childe was back, so she specially boiled soft corn porridge in the kitchen, and asked Childe to finish washing, so she went over to talk." ”

The delicate and pretty little girl, Mu Chun, Mu Lan, Mu Qiu, and Mu Xia are the only few girls close to Nalan City, and it is Mu Lan who hands the towel, who has always been lively, and her speech is crisp and crisp, and she is also very pleasing.

Nalan Cheng thought about it, first wiped his face, and then asked, "What about the master?" ”

Master, it's his father, it's the male owner of this house, and it's Nalan Pearl. It's just that he is called like this, and Mu Lan has long been used to it, so he responded directly, "The master should still be in the study, and the lady is in the bamboo garden, saying that the porridge has been warmed on the small stove, and when the son passes, it is better to go to the cold in the rain." ”

"Well, I see, you go and tell your mother, I'll wash up first, and I'll go right away."

Handing back the towel in his hand, Mu Lan curled her lips and smiled, responded lightly, turned around and went out. The sound of rain outside the door kept coming, the sound of the rain kept crackling, Mu Lan held an umbrella and left, Mu Qiu took the towel he wiped his face, put it aside, and helped him take out a clean change of clothes, and said softly, "Childe, the clothes are here, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

Mu Qiu and Mu Lan are two completely different temperaments, if you compare the two women, one is a passionate and unrestrained jade peach blossom, and the other is a light lily like an orchid in the empty valley.

"Mu Qiu, you wait a minute."

Between the lightning and flint, Nalan Cheng called out to her, Mu Qiu paused and looked back, and bowed back again, "Childe?"

The four beautiful maids around the child, today is her and Mu Lan's vigil, and Mu Chun and Mu Xia rest. Mulan was sent to Madame's Bamboo Garden, and she was the only one here.

"Mu Qiu, let me ask you something, what if...... If you don't want to, just shake your head, I won't force you, okay? ”

The towel in his hand was clutched, but he didn't wring out the water, but his voice was unusually low. Mu Qiu's heart suddenly jumped up, her eyes drooped slightly, and her voice trembled, "Father, son, please ask." ”

Nalan Cheng exhaled, his fingertips moving slightly, and pinched a small bulge in his sleeve pocket, which was a small turquoise grass dragonfly, which she had made up, and the only thing he had asked her for.

"Muqiu, Madame put the four of you by my side, I think you know what it means. If you'd like, follow me tonight, okay? Of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse, I won't force you. ”

His mother grew old day by day, and every time she talked to him, she always hoped that he could get married, give birth to a son and a half daughter for her to bring, and take care of her for the rest of her life, but what could he do?

The woman he loved before is gone, and the woman he wants now doesn't even dare to think about it, so ...... If this was his mother's hope, he was willing to ask Mu Qiu.

"You have a good temperament, and you are the most devoted to your wife, if you want, you can stay, if you don't want to, when I come back, you can go and rest."

I took a clean towel again, wiped the rain off my body, and hastily washed it, then took an umbrella and went to the bamboo garden.

At that time, Mrs. Nalan was sitting by the window in a daze, and was looking out of the window with the window under the porch.

The rain was dense, bit by bit, blowing through the window with the wind and hitting the face, there was an indescribable sense of gloom.

It is the most mature and extremely beautiful age in a person's life, but the pressure in her heart is heavy on her face, and she is prematurely dyed with the wind and frost of the years.

"Madam, it's raining cold outside, don't be infected with the wind cold, wait for the young master to come over in a while, and you should feel distressed when you see it."

The personal servant maid Yu Niang, while nagging softly, helped her close the window, and Mrs. Nalan's eyes rarely hung a trace of sighing tenderness, "Yu Niang, you are my dowry girl, for so many years, you have followed me, and you have also suffered." After waiting, if the city has a chance, you can follow him. ”

Gently patting her hand, Mrs. Nalan spoke very gently, but there was an indescribable sense of despair in her words.

"Madame, what are you talking about? The young master of the city will definitely have a future in the future, but the old slave will not follow the young master, the old slave has been with the lady for a lifetime, is it possible that when he is old, he will drive the old slave out? ”

The nose was slightly sour, Yu Niang didn't want to listen to this, she always felt that Mrs. was explaining the future, as if she was going to finish the road of this life in advance.

"But, in my heart, I'm so tired. Yu Niang, if there is really that day, if you listen to me, you must follow the city...... This Nalan Mansion is no longer the original Nalan Mansion, and the lord has become unrecognizable and unfamiliar. I'm alive, and I don't want anything else but the city......"

This home, there really is nothing left for her to be nostalgic for.

"Madam, don't say that, don't say that, you are like this, when the young master comes, you will definitely think that the old slave has made Madame sad again......"

The voice was suddenly choked, she has been a maid by Mrs. since she was a child, how can Yu Niang not know the bitterness in Mrs.'s heart?

Since that year, the woman that the young master liked was killed by the master's ruthless stick, and the lady has felt more sad than dead.

Madame looks weak on the surface, but in her bones, she is a very strong person. In this life, once she is disgusted with a person, she will not say a word to you in this life.

"Hmm, okay, I'm just talking about it, look at you, why did you come to this point?"

Mrs. Nalan finally smiled, looked at Yu Niang strangely and said, "Don't cry, I really want the city to see, he is facing you, and he will not be towards my ......."

With such a joking sentence, Yu Niang also immediately laughed, and said proudly, "That is, the little young master has been watched by the old slave since he was a child, and the young master and the old slave are close, and it is also deserved." ”

Therefore, her love for Nalan City is almost as close as her son.

At this point, it is the master and servant again, looking back and reminiscing about the happy life in the past.

The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the lightning is falling, and in the shadows of Nalan Mansion, some unusual ghostly figures always appear from time to time, and when the lightning rises, it is reflected on the wall, and the moment the lightning falls, it is hidden in the storm of this night.

Nalan Cheng held an umbrella and stepped on the rain, always feeling a chill in his neck behind him, and when he turned back, he saw that in the night, the branches were shaking, and the shadows were full of shadows, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

"Could it be that I'm too tired during the day, so I'm suspicious?"

Frowning slightly, he turned around and continued to walk towards the bamboo garden, but he didn't know that danger was approaching step by step.

"Madam, it seems that the young master is here, I'll open the door."

In the bamboo garden, Yu Niang happily listened to it with her ears sideways, said to Mrs. Nalan, then took the umbrella and walked into the courtyard, while asking, she twitched the wooden bolt on the door, "Is it the young master?" With such a heavy rain, if you are tired, you can ......"

Before the words fell, between the cracks of the door that was opened, a knife light flashed, and with a muffled snort, a sharp blade, accurately from the door opened, stabbed straight into Yu Niang's chest, Yu Niang's eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't believe the person outside the door, and suddenly shouted violently, "Madame, run......"

This poignant warning almost made her use all her strength to shout out in an instant, and at this moment, there was a thunderous roar, and this warning was pressed into the absolute abyss almost instantly.

The people outside the door were annoyed for a while, but they thanked God in a blink of an eye, and spit out a mouthful of rainwater, and the sharp blade that pierced into it flipped it hard, stirring up a cloud of flesh and blood, and pulled it out again.

Yu Niang grasped both sides of the door with both hands, and the big umbrella on her head was weakly hit by the rain on the ground, and the bright blood color flowed into the rain along her feet, like a flower on the other side that suddenly bloomed in the night.

Enchanting, intoxicating, blood-eating, cruel.
