Xu Ning's original intention was that if he talked too much about people, these people would not have the courage to go, and Zhuang Siyan would be relatively safe.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, those people quickly glanced at each other, and then the one who was pinching his chin lifted him up from the ground at once, his eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, and his voice was as gloomy as a knife and asked: "What is his identity, and why are there so many people around?" ”

Xu Ning: "......"

What is the identity of this group of people, they don't even know what Zhuang Siyan's identity is, but they want to move him, did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?

But Xu Ning didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, he was afraid that he would accidentally make things bigger, so he had to tremble, looking at the other party's face, and replied: "It should be an official of the court." ”

"Should it be? You are a person from Dali Temple, will you not know if he is an official? To be honest, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you now. ”

The man did what he said, and immediately drew a short knife and stabbed Xu Ning in the arm mercilessly.

Xu Ning is just an ordinary person, although he can do this business, but he doesn't practice martial arts, and even his physical strength is similar to that of a normal man, and even because he was debauched in his early years, he often drank and had fun, and he didn't even dare to guarantee his basic health.

Now this knife goes down, it doesn't kill him, but it hurts him more than asking for his life.

I heard a scream come out of Xu Ning's mouth, almost breaking through the sky, and suddenly sounding in the night sky, which stunned several bandits.

When they panicked to find something and plugged Xu Ning's mouth, they saw that the vegetable bag that they had taken a lot of effort to grab had already fainted.

The man who had taken him kicked him in the ass and said to his companion, "I'll go get another one." ”

The three men looked at each other, but did not respond to his words.

The lights in the house shone on their faces, and the faces that had been running around for many years, sleeping in the open air, and hating all year round became even more hideous.

After a while, a person spoke: "Big brother only said that we should come to the capital to kill an official surnamed Si, but this capital is so big and there are so many officials, do you want to kill this one?" ”

Another person may think that his question is extremely stupid, and his eyes are as wide as bull's eyes: "I said that the surname is Si, isn't that kid surnamed Si?" I saw him wandering around the gate of Dali Temple during the day, and he didn't look like a good person. ”

A person who leaned in the corner and hadn't opened his mouth since Xu Ning came in, at this time took a sentence: "We kill people, never talk about good or bad, only listen to the eldest brother." No matter how many officials there are in the capital, let's only kill the surname Si, let's do it tonight, kill him, and then check if there is anything else, if there is, kill them together, rather kill by mistake than let go. ”

His words were very intimidating, and all the people stopped speaking when he spoke, and at this time they didn't even have an atmosphere, and in the dim light, they all stared at their own dim shadows.

The man stood up from the corner and motioned for someone to tie Xu Ning up.

He tightened the knife in his hand and said: "What this kid said is not credible, I went back with the surname Si during the day, there are not so many people in his house, no more than ten at most, they are all maids and servants and the like, there is no need to worry at all, let's go now." ”

The four of them turned off the lights in the house, went out from the door one by one, and walked towards Zhuang Siyan's house by the wall.

Let's talk about Xu Ning, after being stunned by that knife, he woke up quickly.

It hurts so much, and the pain can wake you up quickly.

But when he woke up, he didn't continue to scream, but gritted his teeth and endured, and didn't even open his eyes to listen to the people in the room.

After those people finished talking and tied him up and went out, Xu Ning opened his eyes.

After looking at the dark hut and trying to get his eyes used to the darkness, he began to look for something to cut the rope through.

It's a pity that his luck is always so bad, and after looking for a long circle, he didn't see anything to take advantage of.

However, the blood on his arm was flowing more and more, and the pain was rushing to his head one by one, and finally he was holding back the sweat.

Xu Ning scolded and shouted in his heart, but he didn't dare to give up, his feet worked hard to collapse below, and finally jumped the rope on his feet first.

This was really a great encouragement, as soon as Xu Ning got the rope away, he immediately began to rub the rope on his hand in the same way.

Unfortunately, his hands were tied to the post behind him, and it wasn't from the same person, so it was much tighter.

Xu Ning spent a lot of effort, and the sweat on his body came out layer after layer, and finally brought the pillar to the ground with a "clang", and others also fell and gnawed on the mud.

But the rope in his hand was loose.

Xu Ning, who untied the rope in a panic, didn't have time to care about his own injuries, and ran to Zhuang Siyan's house when he went out.

He knew it was too late, but whatever he did was better than nothing.

He ran very fast, and because of an arm injury, he almost fell down several times, and stood up again with his hands on the wall.

It was not far away, but Xu Ning ran until his legs were weak.

Finally saw the gate of Zhuang Siyan's house from a distance, and he was about to run forward again, but suddenly realized what was going on, shut up, and then slipped through the wall and approached the gate.

The door was not bolted, but it was hidden, and there was a large crack, and when it was opened, people had already entered.

The sweat on Xu Ning's head "suddenly" came out again, his feet were faster, passed through the front yard, and rushed straight to the backyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the lights were on in the backyard, and several figures were standing there, and the people who had captured him before were all crawling on the ground, humming and chirping at each other.

Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, but the pain in his arm rushed up again, and he directly fainted again.

It wasn't until Zhuang Siyan wrapped up the wound on his hand and the person woke up that he probably figured out a little bit of the ins and outs of the matter.

She glanced at Xu Ning, and was very disdainful of his dishes: "I said that you can learn a little self-defense if you are fine, such a big man, you are always robbed by others when you go out, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Xu Ning almost howled in her face: "I'm a puppet, and I'm not a big internal guard, I usually deal with dead people, if I don't know you, who will come to rob me?" ”

Zhuang Siyan: "Then you mean, you broke off your friendship with me from now on?" ”

Xu Ning: "......"

Losing too much of his face, he turned even whiter, and he barely stood up and said, "I'm going back, what are you going to do with those people?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it, let Qingfeng send you back."

Sent him out again, Zhuang Siyan went to the courtyard to see the people who had been arrested.

The martial arts are really not very good, even Qing Ran, who has been tired for a few days, can't beat them alone, and he put them all down in three or two strokes, but his mouth is very hard, and he still refuses to say who he instructed.

Zhuang Siyan was also too tired, this big day, from going out early in the morning to going home at night, there was no pause, so he asked Qingran to tie them up strongly, and planned to ask again tomorrow.

It's just that that night, Zhuang Siyan and the others just lay down here, and Ling Tiancheng received the news in the palace.

"Those who went straight to Concubine Wan Niangniang looked like bandits, although their martial arts skills were not high, their killing intent was very great, and their subordinates suspected that they would not succeed this time, and there would be a next time."

Ling Tiancheng was wearing a silk nightgown, and because he was in a hurry to get up, the neckline was not buttoned properly, so a small piece of chest muscles was exposed.

He sat sideways in the chair, his eyes looking at the unknown place, and after a while, he said to the visitor: "Be sure to find out the origin of those people, and don't alarm Concubine Wan." ”

The man agreed, and when he wanted to withdraw, he still hesitated and said, "My subordinates suspect that Concubine Wan already knows." ”

Ling Tiancheng's gaze immediately retracted, staring closely at that person's face.

He lowered his head: "It's the subordinates who are careless, I'm really afraid that something will happen if I follow far away, so I will follow a little closer to the troubled place, and the mother will see it." ”

Ling Tiancheng sat still and didn't move, but a large part of his mind was Zhuang Siyan.

After some time, the legs of the man who came were numb to his feet, and he was heard to say, "Go down first." ”

The visitor exited the hall and blended into the night.

Ling Tiancheng didn't feel sleepy anymore, he pulled his clothes, and walked out, standing under Xuan's porch, looking into the distance.

From this direction, you can see the side hall not far away.

There was also a light on at this time, as if Zhuang Siyan was still living, which made Ling Tiancheng can't help but want to walk over and take a look.

But he didn't take a single step, reason and thought are two different things, and he can tell the difference.

You can approach that place by fantasies, but when you get closer, you will definitely get a greater disappointment.

Since she is not there, she is not there, but fortunately, she is only separated by a palace wall from him now, and it is okay to go out to see her.

Ling Tiancheng hurriedly got out of the morning court early the next morning, changed into civilian clothes, and took two guards to walk to Zhuang Siyan's residence.

At this time, Zhuang Siyan had just gotten up.

She was so tired yesterday that when she returned to her room, she thought about a lot of things intermittently, and she fell asleep in a daze until almost dawn.

After getting up, he hurriedly freshened up, and before he even ate breakfast, he heard that Ling Tiancheng was coming.

She was stunned for a moment, but went to see him in the antechamber.

It is described as naturally haggard, and my eyes are a little swollen when I just woke up.

So when Ling Tiancheng saw her appearance, he felt distressed again.

He was a little resentful of himself, and he wanted to use his strength to trap her beside him and in the palace as before, although she would be unhappy, but it would always be safe, and she would not encounter this kind of murderous scene every once in a while.

But he didn't do that now, he wanted to set her free, and then let her think of her own good again in freedom, and then return to him.

The confession, he tried a few days ago, but it ended in failure.

That Ling Tiancheng didn't mention this matter anymore when he came today, of course, he didn't hide his intentions, and said bluntly: "I heard that you met an assassin here last night. ”

Zhuang Siyan was not surprised, and returned to the truth: "A few thieves have been caught." ”

Ling Tiancheng let out an "um" sound, and then said, "The little thief won't want to do something to you for no reason, maybe there are instructions from others later." ”

"I know, I've been checked, and I'm going to interrogate him later." When Zhuang Siyan said this, he kept his head down.

She kind of wanted Ling Tiancheng to leave quickly, and then she just let her play freely about the things here.
