At the crossroads in the suburbs, Nan Angui rode a horse to a tea pavilion, looking at the small inn that seemed to be lit by candlelight, and it seemed that someone had not slept yet.

Nan An Gui had just taken a few steps after getting off the horse, and he felt that there seemed to be a murderous aura behind him. When she turned her head, a long sword was already in her neck.

It seems that ruthless is indeed famous for her martial arts, Nan'an Gui quietly took off the jade pendant on her waist and handed it to her.

The jade pendant looks even brighter in the moonlight.

Ruthless frowned and glanced at it, then withdrew his long sword, and said in a cold voice, "It's you who came to me." ”

A shallow smile crossed the corner of Nan'an Gui's mouth, nodded and said, "Fortunately, you still remember me, it's been a year since I was in the palace last time." ”

"I do owe you a favor in the first place, and you have saved my life. Now that I'm alone, I'm afraid there's something he wants to ask me for. ”

The two men stood in the courtyard and looked at each other, both guessing each other's thoughts.

"I know that you went to the Lotus Mansion some time ago and killed a lot of servants, most of them are old and frail, and you have no power to restrain the chicken, why are you?"

"It is the rule of our profession that someone hires me and uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Do you expect me to have some mercy to spare them? Said ruthlessly and coldly, it didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Nan Angui shook his head lightly and spoke again: "I came to you this time just to ask you, where are the people who hired you to kill these people now?" ”

looked at Nan Angui ruthlessly and silently, knowing that she had been ashamed of her after all, but if she knew that taking over this business had something to do with her, she would have refused no matter how much money she was given.

"I don't know who the man really is, it's just two meetings, if you need anything from me, just ask."

Nan An Gui nodded with a wry smile and continued: "I am no longer the queen in the palace now, I am just a low-ranking palace maid who has been demoted to the cold palace, and I still really need your help with some things." ”

"Do you just need me to repay you like this?"

Nan An Gui shook his head, and said with a serious gaze: "No, this is not a reward. I'm here to ask you to help me, not to repay the favor. Saved your life in the first place

It was just that I volunteered and never thought of anything in return. ”

Nan Angui is actually not completely sure this time, and he can be sure that the other party can help him, but this is the only way to try at present.

Ruthlessly beating a pair of eyes, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but after a moment, he still said, "Okay, I will promise to help you." ”

"Thank you, if there is time in the bull market, I will definitely come to you again, and the two of us will discuss countermeasures again."

The daylight had slowly risen from the sky in the distance, and Xiao Ru sat on the stone bench in the courtyard all night, because she was blown by the cold wind, so she had some cold.

"Ahh She paced back and forth in the yard, sneezing incessantly.

When Yu Zhi came out of the room, he saw Xiao Ru here alone in a panic, and he didn't know what was waiting for?

"Xiaoru, it's so cold, why are you still outside? It seems that I have contracted the wind cold, so hurry up and drink some hot water. ”

Xiao Ru nodded in a panic, and casually squeezed out a somewhat strange smile.

"Okay, I got it."

Although she nodded in agreement, her eyes didn't look at Yu Zhi at all, you can see that she was hiding something from him in her heart.

Yu Zhi stared at her carefully for a moment before slowly asking, "What happened?" Did you know that you can't speak? ”

Xiao Ru was asked by him like this, and after being stunned for a moment, she finally couldn't hide it, so she had to tell it all.

"Niangniang went out alone last night and hasn't come back yet, I'm a little worried."

When Yu Zhi heard this, his whole person immediately became nervous, and he said with some disgust: "Why didn't Niangniang go out alone and inform us, if something really happened, can you take responsibility?" ”

Yu Zhi knew that these accusations were all correct, and she regretted it very much now, she should have resolutely followed the queen mother last night, even if she made her angry, she couldn't give up.

"I'm fine, and my martial arts aren't as bad as you think. Yu Zhi, don't blame Xiaoru at every turn, Xiaoru is a girl after all, you have to know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Nan Angui jumped briskly from the wall, like a beautiful petal.

"Xiaoru, have you prepared breakfast?"

"Slave and maid, let's go and prepare." After Xiaoru saw that Niangniang came back safely, her heart finally relaxed, and she quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Nan Angui looked at Yu Zhi seriously, raised his finger and pointed to the location of the stone bench.

"You sit down first, I have something to discuss with you."

Nan An Gui poured a cup of tea for both of them, and took a sip before saying, "I left the palace last night, in fact, the purpose was to find ruthlessness. ”

"Are you and ruthless old acquaintances?"

Nan Angui felt as if fate had already arranged all this, and God expected that she would be forbidden to do so.

That's why someone met someone who was hunted down by the Assassins that night, and ruthlessly saved her, and his life was just a handy effort.

"Although it's not a good relationship, at least I have met once and I have some impressions, and by chance, I saved her."

"It's much more reasonable to say this, as far as I know, although this person is ruthless and cruel in his daily life, he is the most reluctant to owe anyone favors."

Baoqing also walked out of the room at this time, and Nan Angui nodded to him and motioned for him to sit down at the same time.

"We can't sit still now, do nothing in the cold palace, Yu Zhi, you have to continue to help me investigate the matter about my mother Jiang Feifei, and Baoqing, you must pay attention to the recent actions of those concubines in the harem, and see who it is, and recently gained momentum."

Several people glanced at each other, and then each nodded, now everyone must work together to find out the truth of the matter, after all, they are behind the dark and dark, so it will be more difficult to investigate.

Xiaoru walked over and whispered, "Breakfast is ready, let's all go eat together." ”

Nan Angui got up and said, "I'll go change my clothes back, and you guys will eat first." ”

Xiao Ru followed Nan'an Gui Yitou back to the room, still complaining: "This night, the slave has been worried about the safety of this queen mother. ”

"Didn't I come back safely?"
