Chapter 8 Who is the Night Returner?
The twilight climbed up layer by layer, until the moon crept up above the ridge of the roof, and happened to hang on the bend of the osmanthus tree.
In autumn, it began to hit the whole of Kyoto again. Xiao Rin sat on the roof, thinking about the rumors during the day repeatedly, could it be ...... Is the old military division really going out of the mountain?
Remembering that her sister once said during the day that she carved the dagger, she liked it very much, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but bend a touch of arc, she liked it...... She just likes it.
Xiao Rin repeated this sentence repeatedly, as if he saw his beloved things, and he couldn't put them down like a child, which made people a little confused.
"Brother. So you're here. ”
Just when Xiao Rin was immersed in his own world alone, his sister didn't know when she had jumped next to him.
"Dead girl, can you say hello and come up again, what if your brother falls?" Xiao Rin always has a serious expression in front of outsiders, but once she faces her sister, she instantly turns into a warm man.
Although he usually doesn't smile, if there are only two brothers and sisters, the relationship between the two is very close.
"Brother, she'...... It seems that she was almost framed by her aunt today, and ......" sister deliberately dragged a long tone, which made Xiao Rin even more curious and worried.
He didn't know what happened today, and he didn't know what Jing Ning had experienced today.
"Say, what's going on? Slurred. Xiao Rin's temperament was a little explosive, and he grabbed his sister's collar and wanted to ask what was going on.
My sister is also very strange, why does my brother blow up when he encounters something about his sister-in-law?
Where is the steady, domineering and indifferent brother from before? If it weren't for the fact that Brother Ah would occasionally show male tenderness when he was alone with her, she really couldn't believe that Brother Ah was a warm man. She always thought that her brother was an indifferent rough man. However, today, seeing that my brother was so irritable about my sister-in-law's affairs, I couldn't help but snicker a few times.
"Laughing at what? What about you? Xiao Rin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw her sister laughing at herself like this, coughed a few times, and still wanted to ask for a result.
However, there are so many unexpected results in the world.
"I heard that my sister-in-law and His Royal Highness hugged each other for a long time at the door of the prime minister's study, and later, my aunt sent someone to tell the prime minister, and the prime minister walked out disappointed." When the sister of the Xiao family said this, she deliberately paused, wanting to see her brother's reaction.
"And then?" Xiao Rin, who was sitting on the roof, had already clenched his fists, and it seemed that as long as he moved, this fist would be like a sharp sword, straight into the heart of the enemy.
Seeing her brother like this, even her sister was shocked, she didn't expect that her brother, who had always been steady, would start again as soon as he met his sister-in-law......
"Later, then I didn't know. I wasn't there, I just listened to the people in the house. "The people in this mansion are the eyeliners that the Xiao family has planted in various mansions in order to gain a foothold in the capital. Of course, everyone knows all about this. In the Xiao family, it is inevitable that there will be royal and Zheng eyeliners. Therefore, whether it is the princes and nobles, or the generals and generals, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, because you don't know who will be betrayed one day.
This seems to be an eternal truth. This has been the case since ancient times.
"It seems that I need to go to Zheng's mansion." Xiao Rin stood up from the ridge of the roof, as if he was on flat ground, a full moon on the horizon seemed to be above his head, and an inky night robe set off his handsome and angular cheeks even more, indifferent, handsome, and murderous was exactly the feeling that this young man gave people.
However, under this indifference, there is a moment of sudden warmth in people's hearts.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Before he could see the figure clearly, Xiao Rin had long since disappeared.
"Brother is really obsessed." The younger sister looked at her brother's distant traces, and had some doubts in her heart, didn't my brother hate Zheng Jingning a little before?
Now, why help her? All this made her feel very puzzled.
However, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was a different story.
In the afternoon, his father once mentioned to Zheng Jingning that he might have to go to the West Station War Zone, and it is unknown how long he will go.
Zheng Jingning couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and the relationship with her father had just eased a little, and she had to be separated from her father again, which made her very sad.
What made her even more reassuring was that if her father left, she and the woman and her daughter would be left in the house. And how they usually treat themselves, she doesn't have a number in her heart.
As soon as my father leaves, everything may change.
"Miss, why don't you sleep so late?" Seeing Zheng Jingning tossing and turning, Bihua came over with a cup of tea, "Since you can't sleep, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." ”
Jing Ning smiled, "Bihua, this tea is sobering!" ”
"Miss, the slave knows, it's just that now that Miss knows the master's arrangement, she must be thinking about countermeasures in her heart, right?" Bihua's words hit, Jing Ning secretly admired this girl's cleverness and transparency, she was really blinded by lard in her previous life, and she didn't find that there was such a transparent person around her, she didn't believe in her, reused her, and even killed her.
"Clever."
Since he couldn't sleep, Zheng Jingning simply didn't sleep at all, didn't light the lamp, and chatted with Bihua in the dark. The two of them were talking with each other, and their eyelids gradually became a little heavy, as if they were about to fall asleep.
Outside the door, a shadow floated by, but the two people in the room had long since fallen asleep and did not notice.
"Two fools, who don't sleep in the middle of the night." The person outside the door muttered quietly and flicked the orchid finger, which was brought from the Western Regions in the middle of the fingernails. "Tsk, it's a pity to use it on this kind of little woman."
After the man finished speaking, he lightly clicked a hole in the window paper with his saliva-stained fingers, and flicked the * in between his fingernails.
It is said that there is a kind of people, known as "night returnees", they wander all corners of the rivers and lakes, only killing people at night, and they kill people for only one purpose, that is, money, similar to mercenaries.
And the words at this moment are "return to the people at night." ”
He quietly pinched the Hidden Arrow on his arm, trying to press it down to get the arrow out of the way. And at this moment, the position of the arrow of the arrow happened to be Zheng Jingning's heart.
"Weird! Why don't you listen to your hand? "He's never been in this situation, just a sense of panic like never before,
However, as a professional "night returner", he can't insult the reputation of "night returner".
With one force, his sleeve arrow flew to Zheng Jingning's side with a "whoosh".
