In the face of their praise, Ye Xiaoying was not surprised.

Looking at her son, she felt a little relieved in her heart, but when the child fell asleep and Li Tiezhu was not in the room, her eyes widened and she didn't dare to close her eyes, and from time to time the vicious look before immortality flashed in her mind.

The sound of leakage passed through the heavy courtyard and reached the ears, and it was already the fourth watch.

As soon as she closed her eyes, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and then her neck tightened, and she gradually couldn't breathe, her heart was terrified, and she couldn't stop struggling.

His face was distorted, and he said viciously at Ye Xiaoying: "Give back my life, give me back my life!" Ye Xiaoying stretched out her hand and slapped his arm, but it seemed to be too heavy to lift, and her feet seemed to be filled with lead, falling into deep despair.

Suddenly, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, like Li Tiezhu's voice sounded above his head, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was a nightmare.

The surroundings were dim, and in front of him were Li Tiezhu's concerned eyes, Ye Xiaoying grabbed his arm tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The long life has come, and I just came to ask for my life!" ”

Li Tiezhu paused, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, only to see Ye Xiaoying stretching out her hand and waving it uncontrollably, as if she was immersed in a nightmare.

Immediately woke Ye Xiaoying up, seeing that she was so panicked, he stretched out his arm and hugged her in his arms, and soothed her softly: "It's all over, he is dead, it is impossible to show up to find trouble with you, go to sleep!" ”

With tiredness in her voice, Ye Xiaoying was close to him, her brain was unusually clear, and she didn't dare to close her eyes anymore.

On the second day, she was mentally exhausted, and for some reason Guo'er was extremely irritable, crying from time to time, which made Ye Xiaoying exhausted. After that, he discussed with Li Tiezhu: "Changsheng is dead, there is no need for us to stay here anymore, I want to leave!" ”

She had nightmares every night, and Li Tiezhu had the intention of leaving early in the morning, but he said tentatively: "I want to go to Lingzhou!" ”

Ye Xiaoying was extremely surprised, and sighed: "Originally, I naturally supported you to go to the Ji Mansion, but now ......" suddenly stopped talking.

Raising his eyes, a little worry flashed in his eyes, "You can also see Madame's methods, swearing to kill our family, if you go at this time, it will be tantamount to throwing yourself into a net!" ”

Li Tiezhu looked stunned, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "The exam is coming soon, I want to give it a try, but in fact, I haven't thought about going to Ji Mansion." ”

I see!

I had heard Li Tiezhu mention the exam before, so naturally I couldn't delay. Ye Xiaoying has been living here for many years, and since she has decided, she has to grit her teeth and follow him.

Several people said goodbye to everyone and set off immediately.

Jian Sui was elated, escorted the three to Lingzhou, first placed them in the inn, and returned to the general's mansion by himself.

"Kensui is back!" The people in the palace were amazed to see him.

I didn't have time to catch up, so I immediately went to find General Ji, but I heard that the emperor was going out on a business trip, and he didn't return until a few days later.

Jian Sui had to ask someone to inform Li Tiezhu and Ye Xiaoying to wait, and sent someone Pegasus to tell the master what happened, and he waited anxiously in the mansion.

The next day, the news of Chang's death reached Madame's ears, and Madame's eyes widened in shock, and she asked angrily, "Who is it?" How dare you kill immortals? ”

The subordinate lowered his head deeply, and said resignedly: "It's Jian Sui!" "Speaking of the situation at that time.

"You said that the man named Li Tiezhu joined forces with his wife to kill Changsheng?"

"Madam, it is the two of them, speaking of which, the two of them are ruthless, act viciously, kill with one sword, and Changsheng is also guilty of failing to get rid of two people for Madame before he dies!"

Wiping tears from her eyes as she spoke.

Losing a tiger general in vain, Mrs. slammed the table hatefully, and at the same time learned that Li Tiezhu and Ye Xiaoying were already in the city, the corners of her lips were raised, and she sneered, "There is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break through, this time I blame me for being ruthless." ”

On the one hand, he sent people to report to the official government in the county seat, and on the other hand, he sent people around to look for Li Tiezhu and Ye Xiaoying.

In Lingzhou City, the inn is extremely popular, and the quadrennial scientific examination is imminent, and the inn is overcrowded. Gaosheng Inn is no exception, almost all the students who live in the inn are preparing for the exam, shaking their heads and reciting the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, and they are also open-mouthed.

Although it was noisy, Guo'er slept sweetly in it, listening to the sound of Lang Lang's reading, Ye Xiaoying's insomnia no longer existed, and she was relieved to live here.

In addition to the difficulty of adapting to the food, I only feel that the present world is stable.

Li Tiezhu is diligent day and night, and he also reads hard night and night, without stopping. Ye Xiaoying persuaded him to rest, but instead shook his head and said: "Master said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and I have a low start, so I can only make up for it by diligence!" ”

In order not to affect the rest of the mother and son, Li Tiezhu often hid in the firewood room with a book in his hand.

The weather is getting colder. The candles were blown out from time to time, and although the smell inside the room was unpleasant, and the air was dull and damp, it was much more comfortable in comparison to the cold weather outside.

That night, when he was in his mind while reading, he suddenly heard the sound of squirming coming from the corner, Li Tiezhu ignored it, but the movement became bigger and bigger.

He raised the lamp and stepped forward, only to see a huge mouse staring straight at him with round eyes, and he was not afraid.

At this moment, the north wind was blowing, and the whirring cold wind blew against the dilapidated window lattice, making a ratting sound, and for some reason, seeing the rats gave birth to a sense of sympathy.

Li Tiezhu laughed and shook his head, and said straight in his mouth: "Now it is a mouse that is with me!" ”

Only then did he put the lamp on the table, and suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Who said that?" And me! ”

The doors and windows were opened, a cold wind rushed in, and someone jumped in, Li Tiezhu's heart froze, and he immediately looked happy, it was actually a sword spike.

After not seeing him for a few days, Li Tiezhu became so depressed, looked around, Jian Sui smiled, and said solemnly: "Why are you staying here?" "It's messy, it smells of corruption.

He didn't think so, and sat back in his lame chair, "Compared to the previous people, this place is much more comfortable!" ”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Jian Sui asked him if he had enough silver, took out a few taels of silver from his arms, and stuffed them into Li Tiezhu's hand, "Before me, I didn't have much left with the silver for you to drink wine and eat meat, so you can be wronged for a few days for the time being!" ”

Li Tiezhu shook his head, returned the silver to him, and said, "I already said before I set off that I came here for the exam, and as for the rest, I don't have any plans!" ”

Holding on to a tendon like this, Jian Sui temporarily withdrew the silver, and seeing that he was thinly dressed, he took out a felt robe from the baggage he carried with him and draped it on his body.
