The carriage headed all the way in the direction of Creek Village.

When Bai Qiuluo usually sat in the carriage, he was always drowsy because the distance was not short, but today he didn't feel sleepy at all, but he felt a little frightened.

This feeling became more and more intense as we got closer and closer to Xiaoxi Village.

"Luoluo, your face is not good, are you uncomfortable?" Shao Nanchu lowered his head, looked at her slightly pale face, couldn't help frowning slightly, and spoke softly.

"I'm fine, maybe I was just frightened and haven't recovered yet." Bai Qiuluo shook his head slightly and said.

When Shao Nanchu heard this, he pulled her into his arms and leaned on her, "You rest for a while, and I'll call you when I get there." ”

Bai Qiuluo was helpless, and he didn't want to argue with him at this time, so he obediently leaned on his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage swayed forward, and Bai Qiuluo was held in Shao Nanchu's arms, and her slender hand patted her shoulder gently, coaxing her as if she was coaxing a child to sleep, which made her feel a little sleepy.

When Bai Qiu was drowsy, he felt that the carriage stopped, and Jin Qing outside shouted at the carriage.

Bai Qiuluo was sleepy at this time, so he didn't mean to move at all, and still leaned on Shao Nanchu's arms, as if he was asleep.

Shao Nanchu glanced down at Bai Qiuluo, and seeing that she didn't react, he reached out to cover her ears, so as not to disturb her, so he said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Feeling Shao Nanchu's considerate actions, Bai Qiuluo's heart warmed, his chest vibrated when he spoke, and her head also rose and fell, and the ears attached to his chest listened to his steady heartbeat, and he felt very calm for a while.

Jin Qing, who was outside, knew that Bai Qiuluo must be asleep when he heard this, so he lowered his voice and said, "Dark One came with people, and they were all injured. ”

"What's going on?" The muscles on Shao Nanchu's body were tense, and his usually light and calm voice also carried a bit of nervousness.

Bai Qiuluo didn't know why, but he vaguely felt that what they said next must be very interesting, so he quietly did not move, intending to listen to them.

After all, she and Shao Nanchu are going to be together for the rest of their lives, although Shao Nanchu is capable and wants to shelter her from the wind and rain and protect her in the castle, but she is not willing to be the silk flower that climbs the big tree.

If she wants to compete with him, she must first have the qualifications to be able to stay by his side.

She was still in the dark about his situation, and it was a good opportunity to take this opportunity to learn about his forces and his enemies.

After all, knowing nothing about the enemy is the protection he gives her, but if she protects it too well, it will also become a double-edged sword, if one day his protection has a loophole, and when she has to face the enemy's calculations and predicaments alone, her situation will become very passive.

She has been alone since she was a child, she is used to being independent, and she is always used to being in control of her own destiny.

Just like at the beginning, she decided to break away from the family for Yunzhou, so she didn't have any nostalgia at all, went out of the house cleanly, and depended on Yunzhou for her life.

Although this relationship failed to survive the baptism of time and reality in the end, she will not regret it once she has made a decision.

Now that she is with Shao Nanchu, she still has that attitude, she enjoys his protection, but when she can understand him, she will not give up, so that even without his protection, she can face the sudden storm well.

After all, no matter how airtight the protection is, there will always be times when it is missed.

"Let the dark one come forward and talk back." Shao Nanchu said again.

During this period, he glanced down at Bai Qiuluo, and saw her sleeping quietly and obediently in his arms, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Dark One is the secret guard he left in the old mansion to guard, but just now Jin Qing said that Dark One and they were all back and injured, which made Shao Nanchu have a strong and bad premonition in his heart.

"Master, the subordinate is the dark one."

"What's going on?" Shao Nanchu asked in a deep voice.

"Today, in addition to the two young people, there is another group of people who went to Xiaoxi Village, and the other group of people want to kill Bai Zixin and his wife, the reason is unknown, the subordinates are desperately guarding but they are outnumbered, and finally the two young people suddenly appeared when we were fighting fiercely with the other party, and snatched Bai Zixin and his wife. The brothers died several times to get rid of the group of unknown people, but they failed to catch up with the second young people, and now the second young people are gone, and their subordinates are incompetent, please punish the master. Outside the carriage, the dark one said.

Shao Nanchu didn't expect such a thing to happen, if he knew, even if Bai Qiuluo fell asleep, he wouldn't have asked this.

He will definitely ask in a place where Bai Qiuluo is completely impossible to hear, or click on Bai Qiuluo's sleeping hole to ask again.

Even if Bai Qiuluo does this, he will still know in the end, but at least he can be given time to buffer, so that he can think about how to better tell her about this, and at least how to comfort her when the time comes.

But now, he already felt the sudden stiffness of the body of the person in his arms, and the small hand that suddenly tightened on his chest.

Shao Nanchu couldn't help but secretly call himself careless, and even asked Bai Qiuluo to pretend to be asleep and deceived him.

Bai Qiuluo was in a daze at the moment, she couldn't accept what she had just said.

What does it mean that there are two groups of people, one group wants to kill Bai Zixin and his wife, and the other group takes advantage of the chaos to rob Bai Zixin and his wife?

She originally wanted to hear about Shao Nanchu's enemies, but she didn't want to hear about her father.

Suddenly opened his eyes, Bai Qiuluo met Shao Nanchu's worried gaze.

Bai Qiuluo didn't have the energy to care about Shao Nanchu's feelings at this time, so he lifted the curtain and asked outside, "What do you mean that my father and mother were robbed?" What about the specifics? ”

Dark Yi didn't expect Bai Qiuluo to appear suddenly, his face was suddenly surprised, and he subconsciously glanced at Shao Nanchu.

Now, there is no need to hide it, Shao Nanchu bowed slightly, signaling him to tell the truth.

Dark One briefly talked about his mission.

It turned out that when Shao Nanchu followed Bai Qiuluo to the county seat to save Bai Zixin, he was worried that his opponent would set his eyes on the people in the old mansion, so he deliberately left the ten most elite secret guards to guard around the old mansion in Xiaoxi Village, and even left his own secret guard leader, Dark One.

Subsequently, he took another secret guard to follow Bai Qiuluo to the county seat.

Dark one and they stayed in the old house, it was okay at the beginning, everything was calm, and even when it was close to noon today, when Bai Zixin came back, there was still no change.

And it was just after lunch that a change suddenly occurred.

……

Time back to Xiaoxi Village in the afternoon, the old house of the Bai family.

After eating, Bai Zixin was chatting with Chen Ping, telling about what happened in prison in the past two days, and what happened when Bai Qiuluo rescued him, Peng Shanjun was assassinated, and then Bai Qiuluo was rescued.

At this time, someone suddenly came to the old mansion and knocked on the door, very rhythmic, banging.

"Who? Wait a minute, it's coming. Bai Zixin replied and hurriedly opened the door.

The door opened, and the people outside the door were imprinted into Bai Zixin's eyes.

"You are?" Bai Zixin looked at the person in front of him, with some confusion in his eyes.

The man in front of him was so eyed that he didn't know it at all.

The most important thing is that this person is still wearing black clothes and a scarf in the daytime, which is really strangely tight, like a bandit who specializes in the dark night.

Bai Zixin was taken aback by this thought that appeared in his heart, and was secretly laughing at himself, how could there be a bandit so openly in broad daylight, but the person in front of him suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand and stabbed at him.

"Ah......h

This scream woke Bai Zixin up, and in a panic, he tripped over his own foot, fell directly to the ground, rolled down the two steps at the gate, and rolled far on the ground before stopping.

It was this fall that saved his life.

For after he fell, the man's sword had been nailed to the ground in front of the door.

If Bai Zixin hadn't gotten out of the way just now, the sword would have stabbed into his chest and nailed him to death.

Bai Zixin propped himself up, his eyes widened in shock: "Who are you?" Who are you? Why kill me? ”

Bai Zixin was in a hurry for the three whys, and at this time, his mind was chaotic, staring at each other deadly, his eyes were full of fear.

The other party brought a sword, and judging by the momentum of that body, he must be an extremely powerful martial arts master, but he didn't know anything.

At that moment, Bai Zixin's mind was dazed, and a strong sense of powerlessness pouted him.

He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that even if he dies, the person in front of him will not let go of Chen Ping, Wang and Xiao Sheng.

Because this person's eyes are full of cold killing intent, as if he wants to destroy everything.

Bai Zixin's fall and this questioning made the secret guards come back to their senses, and they all flashed out of the darkness to protect Bai Zixin.

As the leader, the dark one pounced on the other party without hesitation.

The other party was wearing a face towel, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and he could only see the coldness in his eyes.

He didn't react at all to the sudden arrival of the dark one, and directly raised his sword to meet him.

Dark One fought with him, and for a while, he couldn't take him down immediately, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

But in the end, he was the commander of the secret guard under Shao Nanchu, not to mention his martial arts, he didn't take down the other party in many moves.

The dark one's long sword rested on the other party's neck, "Say, who sent you?" ”

The other party didn't answer, just stared at the dark one with a cold gaze.

Dark frowned slightly, and seeing that he didn't speak, he stepped on his chest and leaned over to take his face towel.

However, this removal was a big surprise.

Because the other party has no mouth!

No, it's not that there is no mouth, it's just that the other person's mouth is sewn up, no wonder they don't speak. No, it's not that he doesn't speak, but he can't speak.

"Oh my God, how can this be?" Bai Zixin and Chen Ping on the side also saw each other's mouths at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Why is it that even the mouth is sewn up? How do you eat with your mouth sewn? Can't eat at all!

If you don't eat, won't you starve to death?

Everyone looked at the hideous stitches on his mouth and secretly thought in shock.

Even the dark guards who have seen a lot of the world are the same.

was watched by people who were shocked like this, and the other party didn't react at all, and his eyes were still cold, without the slightest hint of anger.

Dark one's heart sank, and he had some bad premonitions, always feeling that something had happened without him knowing.

At this time, the two secret guards guarding outside also dragged a person in.

"Boss, something happened, look at this person."

A man in black was thrown in front of the dark one, he had lost his breath, and his chest was a sword hole, but the blood that came out of the wound was not bright red, but dark green with black.
