I approached, looked inside the box, and was dazzled.

The four walls of the box are wrapped in brocade, and the whole box is full of jade pendants of various colors, according to the color shade, divided into categories, neatly stacked in different brocade boxes, revealing a warm and simple luster, all of which are extraordinary, and all are worth a lot.

Naturally, I didn't have time to appreciate it carefully, so I carefully picked out a few pieces of blood-red jade pendant from the red brocade, and compared it with the candle dragon in my hand, there was really a jade pendant of a dragon stepping on auspicious clouds, no matter the color, or size, the texture was almost the same, and it was almost unrecognizable in a dimly lit place.

I happily held it up and said to my father, "Father, just use this piece, it should barely be able to make up for it." ”

My father was rummaging through the other boxes one by one, and with a very shallow "um", he closed the lid of the box and hung up the lock.

I took a look, and it was strange that the locks didn't have a keyhole at all, and I didn't know how my father opened them.

I suddenly remembered what the wild stone on the Xiaoxi Lake said last night, and my mind moved, and I asked my father very seriously: "Last night, I found that there is a secret passage under our house leading to the outside of the house, father, that person seems to have put a lot of effort into our house, this place is safe?" ”

The father was obviously stunned, a little unexpected, and extremely surprised: "Secret Path? Where? ”

"There is a small bed under my wisteria building, which leads directly to an abandoned house outside the mansion, which should be used by the thief to enter and exit the Su mansion. And the mother's room is not safe either, so the news has been leaked repeatedly. It's just that we haven't had time to verify it yet. ”

The father immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face was solemn: "I really didn't expect it, and I never noticed it." However, when I first built the study, in order to be firm and confidential, it was watered with glutinous rice water mixed with lime slurry all around, and their secret passage would never be able to penetrate it. I'm afraid, this dark room has aroused the suspicion of thieves. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." The time for a stick of incense is coming soon, and I went back late, for fear that Yue'er would hurt Qingqing. Father, without further ado, I will go one step ahead and not delay any longer. ”

My father stopped me and said, "There are usually guards around the study to protect you secretly, and your skills are not bad, so I will let them take you over with light skills to protect your safety." ”

"No need, I'm worried that if there are guards with you, it will arouse Yue'er's vigilance, and if she becomes angry, it will definitely be bad for Qingqing. I'll speed up my pace, there is Brother Lin there, I believe Qingqing will be safe and sound, you can rest assured. ”

I rejected my father, went straight out of the study, and turned back to close the door. After taking two steps and leaving the line of sight of the study guards, according to the internal strength and mental method practiced on weekdays, he fused Bu Shenglian's footwork, and did not dare to jump over the wall and over the ridge, but just accelerated his pace. The scenery on both sides passed by suddenly, and I suddenly felt like I was walking against the wind, and my body was as light as a swallow. It's just that he is not skilled enough, he can't be careless at all, he doesn't care about anything else, he just concentrates on hurrying away.

Fortunately, the night was thick, and everyone in the house was asleep, so I specially picked a dark place to avoid the vicinity of the courtyard of the sixth aunt, and along the way, I did not meet the guards and servants in the house.

As I approached the green yard, I gradually slowed down and trotted all the way into the yard.

The fourth aunt didn't know when she got the news, and she also rushed over, calling Qingqing anxiously, crying and counting Qingqing's kindness to Yue'er in the past, begging her to let her daughter go.

Yue'er was impatiently scolding: "When this incense burns out, if I can't get the candle dragon token, don't blame me for being ruthless, it's a big deal to die together." ”

The fourth aunt turned her head to see me, as if she had seen a savior, and rushed over to me and asked me urgently: "Miss Qingwu, have you and the master found the candle dragon token?" ”

"Well, I found it, but I'm not sure." I panted and comforted the fourth aunt: "Don't worry, I won't let Sister Qingqing have anything to lose." ”

The fourth aunt sighed with relief: "It's good to find it, it's good to find it." ”

Yue'er opened the door from the inside when she heard the sound, stood at the door, and looked at me excitedly, her eyes shining: "Where is the jade plate?" Hurry up and show it to me. ”

I took out the fake jade plaque from my arms and glanced at Yue'er: "The jade plaque is in my hand, when did you release Qingqing?" ”

"Let Qingqing go?" Yue'er snorted softly in her nose and shook the dagger in her hand: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?" Obediently threw the jade plate over, if I confirmed that it was true, when I was safe, I would naturally let her go. ”

I took two steps forward, Yue'er was immediately alert, and said in a deep voice: "All take three steps back, don't play any tricks with me." ”

I glanced at Brother Lin and had to take two steps back, explaining, "I'm just worried, it's so dark inside your house, what if you can't catch the jade plate and it breaks?" I'm not one of you who practices martial arts, I have no power to tie the chicken, and I don't have the right head under my hands. ”

Yue'er pulled up Qingqing on the ground and pointed a dagger at her throat: "Don't talk nonsense, wrap it in a handkerchief and throw it in." ”

Qingqing was so frightened that her face was pale, and Chu Chu looked at me pitifully, crying.

I touched my body, I really didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief, and turned back to Brother Lin and said, "Brother Lin, lend me your handkerchief." ”

Brother Lin took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to me, and when I took it, I pinched it quietly on his fingertips. Brother Lin immediately understood and winked at me.

The fourth aunt walked up to me and handed me the handkerchief in her hand: "Be careful, I'd rather wrap a few more layers, but don't break it, in case she gets angry and angry...... I...... I....... ”

Before he finished speaking, he was already choked up, crackling and crying.

I took it in my hand, hummed softly, and comforted, "Qingqing will be fine." ”

Then he wrapped the jade plate with the handkerchiefs of the fourth aunt and Brother Lin and tied it layer by layer, confirmed that there was no problem, and said to Yue'er: "You can take it carefully." ”

Yue'er was cunning, lest we make another move when she was distracted, so she scolded Brother Lin for taking a few steps back, clamping Qingqing in his arms, holding the dagger against her neck in his left hand, freeing his right hand, holding the jade card in his hand steadily, and commanding in a deep voice: "Pick up the wick in the yard." ”

The girl in the yard hurriedly did as she was told, illuminating the yard as bright as day.

I tied the handkerchief to a dead knot, and Yue'er couldn't untie it with one hand, so she picked the handkerchief with the tip of a dagger, peeled it off layer by layer, took out the jade plate inside, and held it up to the light to carefully identify it.

"This jade plaque is a fake!" Her face changed suddenly, and she frowned and exclaimed, "Su Qingwen, you dare to poison you?" ”

Under the light, her right hand holding the jade plaque had turned a purple color, and it quickly spread towards her wrist and arm.

Yue'er shook her hand, threw out the handkerchief and jade plate, and quickly clicked on several acupuncture points such as the shoulder well with the hand holding the dagger.

In a hurry, Yue'er had no time to worry, out of her instinct to save herself first, the tip of the dagger just deviated from Qingqing's throat, and the opportunity could not be missed, the white light at Brother Lin's cuffs spun like lightning and shot out, hitting Yue'er's wrist impartially, she suddenly felt pain, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Brother Lin was about to bully him, but between the lightning and flint, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the dark place on the side, holding a sharp knife, the cold light flashed, and he pounced viciously towards Yue'er: "Slut, return my aunt's life!" ”

Looking at the figure, it should be a young man, slightly thin, his hair uncombed, messily draped over his shoulders, a little embarrassed.

The incident happened suddenly, and the door of the house was narrow, and the man's sudden appearance just blocked Brother Lin's way, making him stagnate.

I secretly said that it was not good, although Qingqing's right hand had been poisoned by me, and it could quickly numb and weaken the whole arm. But her kung fu is still good to listen to Brother Lin. The man saw that although his skills were fast but clumsy, and there was no order, how could he be Yue'er's opponent?

Sure enough, Yue'er kicked away the sharp knife in the man's hand, loosened the clamp on Qingqing with her left arm, took a step forward, Haidilao Yue, and steadily copied the sharp knife into her hand, and stabbed him in the chest with a light move.

As fast as lightning, there is almost no way to avoid it, not to mention that the man is desperate to fight her.

Brother Lin behind him stepped forward, and with a wave of his left arm, a fierce wind swept the man's originally leaning forward body to the side, which could avoid the tip of the knife.

But his body couldn't hold back, and he went straight to the side, and stumbled a few steps before he stood firm.

Yue'er held the sharp knife in her hand, and finally became angry: "If you dare to do anything, you just wait to collect Qingqing's body." ”

As soon as his body turned, the sharp knife in his hand rushed towards Qingqing behind him.

Everyone in the courtyard screamed in surprise, and the fourth aunt shouted even more heartbreakingly: "Don't! ”

Yue'er's figure froze in place with that shout, the sharp knife in her hand fell to the ground, and slowly retreated out of the house step by step.

A dazzling long sword was held against her chest, and under the light of the lights in the courtyard, it exuded a bitter cold.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by the sudden reversal of the situation, forgetting how to react, and only tilted their heads to try to identify the sword-wielding man in the room.

Could it be that Qingqing broke free from the rope by herself?

Brother Lin and I stood in front of the door of the room, as the owner of the long sword slowly walked out of the darkness, the slender fingers with distinct bones, the strong and powerful wrists like jade, the cuffs embroidered with ruyi patterns in the white silver thread of the crescent moon, a pair of ink-dyed thick eyebrows that seemed to be frowning, the corners of the eyebrows outlined by the skillful pen, the dark and deep obsidian eyes, Mizuki Qinghua.

I let out a long sigh of relief: "Thank goodness you're here." ”

The strength of his body seemed to be withdrawn, and his hands and feet were sore, almost collapsed, but his heart was relaxed.
