The originally quiet backyard resounded with screams one after another, more than half of the guards guarding the backyard were killed or wounded, and all the maids were startled from their sleep, running back and forth, trying to escape from this place in horror.

"Suka...... Su Runmota ......"

Dirty blood gushed out of Xu Jishui's mouth, he supported his body with a knife in embarrassment, and pushed Xu Nuanyue again, "Don't worry about it, go through the back door!" ”

"If my brother doesn't leave, I won't leave either!"

Xu Jishui smiled helplessly, and there was blood between his teeth.

He touched Xu Nuanyue's little head, "Good, my brother will look for you in a while, okay?" ”

After speaking, he vigorously pushed Xu Nuanyue out.

Xu Nuanyue pinched the hem of her skirt and looked around in a panic.

The house was in a mess, and more than a dozen black-clothed people were carrying scimitars, chasing and killing the maids and maids in the house everywhere.

The lanterns under the eaves fell messily, and the wooden openwork corridor gradually ignited the flames.

The smell of blood was thick in the north wind.

She listened to Xu Jishui's words, cried and ran to the back door, but the back door was already on fire, and she couldn't get out at all!

Seeing the man in black coming this way, she looked at the well, summoned up the courage to put down the barrel, and carefully climbed down the cable of the barrel.

Heart-rending cries still echoed in my ears.

Xu Nuanyue shivered, cold and afraid.

"Daddy...... Brother ......"

Her lips trembled, and she kept saying the names.

"You must be safe, you must be safe!" Her tears kept rolling down, and her delicate hands were also ground by the cable with two bloody marks, "If there are gods in the world, please bless my father and brother with peace and security......"

She prayed over and over again until she froze.

The tears had long since dried, and she cautiously raised her head, hoping to see her brother's face at the mouth of the well.

But

Not really.

The crying in the palace had long since stopped, and she suddenly heard the sound of talking by the well.

"I didn't expect that Lord Su was actually a traitor in Beiliang."

Xu Jishui leaned weakly against the wall of the well, holding his shattered chest with one hand.

He can deal with Jin Shixing, but he can't beat Su Runmo.

This Jiangnan transit envoy who always likes to wear Taoist robes has been in Jinling City for so many years, and he smiles and groans when he meets him on weekdays, and he can't see any bad intentions.

But who would have thought that he would be Beiliang's spy?

Su Runmo held an umbrella and smiled, holding one hand behind him, his robe was spotless, "There are many children of the family in Jinling City. There are only three of them that I admire. You Xu Jishui is one of them, and your old partner Xiao Tingxiu is also one of them. ”

Xu Jishui smiled and took out a thin cigarette gun with difficulty, "My honor." ”

The blood-stained hand took out the fire breaker and lit the bonnet with a trembling hand.

He rarely smokes.

It's just that the time of death is approaching, and I want to take a sip.

Su Runmo looked at him swallowing clouds and spitting mist, still smiling, "I appreciate your talent and courage, if you are willing to take refuge in Beiliang, I can let you go." ”

Xu Jishui smoked in silence.

He thought about a lot of things.

It is reasonable for Su Runmo to appreciate him, because his and Xiao Tingxiu's talents are enough to support them in official positions in Chang'an.

The reason why they stayed in Jinling was because they were the two chess pieces that the Holy Lord put here.

The secret decree from Chang'an has reached their hands, and under the guidance of that secret decree, how will Xiao Tingxiu choose?

Half-pipes of tobacco quickly bottomed out.

Xu Jishui spit out the last puff of smoke rings, but the last thing he thought of was his own sister-in-law.

"I can be with the ministers, or I can work for my father's benefit, black or white. But betraying my country is still a bit difficult for me. He threw away the pipe with emotion and looked at Jin Shixing with a smile, "As for you, before tonight, I thought you would be my brother-in-law." ”

Jin Shixing stood in the firelight, unable to see his expression.
