Li Yong has been relied on by Shen Dashao, so he is naturally a veteran of observing words and feelings, he sneaked a look at Xu Wanqing, and saw that she pursed her lips slightly, twisted her handkerchief, and stared directly at her husband and other women outside the car window. Li Yong immediately got out of the car, glanced at Shen Dashao, led Xu Pingyan to himself, and led her to the next car.

Shen Dashao twisted open the rear car door and sat with Xu Wanqing, holding her hand on one wall and passing her shoulder on the other, holding her in his arms.

Xu Wanqing was born a mute girl, although she was pampered and famous, but the mutilation of her body is a heart disease that can never be healed after all. She couldn't whisper lingering words to her husband on the pillow, she couldn't shush the cold and ask for warmth, and even calling his name was a luxury. In the three years since they got married, although they have been silent to each other most of the time, he is as careful as a hair, steady and reliable, and loves her as much as he protects her. She also loved this man very much.

Xu Wanqing leaned on his arms, with a smile on her lips, her chest was like flat fertile soil, hard and steady, and this man could only be her alone.

Shen Yuchen sat in the back car, he was loosely spread out, and he was in a bad mood. Li Yong opened the car door and smiled lightly, "The second young master is in the same car with this young lady." ”

Shen Yuchen glanced at Li Yong, his gaze was cold, and he touched Xu Pingyan's face. He is not a narrow-minded person, as for the woman in front of him kicked him into the lake, although he was angry, he did not hold grudges, but the only thing he couldn't bear was that the eldest mother was worried about his body, and the old disease recurred, and his stomach hurt for several days.

Although she is not his own mother, she is a woman who treats him with her life.

Xu Pingyan was about to go in, but Shen Yuchen stretched out one leg just right, blocking her waist impartially.

"My leather shoes are dirty, you help me wipe them, and I should cover the cost of this journey, otherwise we are not relatives, why should we take you?" Shen Yuchen shook his leather shoes, and the black and bright glare crossed from the shoe circumference, like those dark eyes, although they were teasing, they flashed with pure and clear light, so that people could not see any malice.

Li Yongzheng is in a dilemma. Xu Pingyan pulled out a wisp of handkerchief on the side waist buckle, lowered her eyes without humility or arrogance, and carefully wiped the stains on his shoes for him.

Shen Yuchen saw that she was so well-behaved, completely lost the fierce spirit of the day, and felt a little boring, and did not embarrass her anymore, only moved her body and gave her an empty seat.

To close the city to Qingzhou, first take a bus to Wudaokou, and then take a train at the nearby Yuzhou Railway Station.

When the group arrived at Wudaokou, it was already night, and because Xu Wanqing's body couldn't bear it, Shen Dashao rented a hostel and sent elite soldiers to guard it secretly. After having eaten dinner, everyone received the key and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Pingyan drank too much strong tea, tossed and turned in bed for a while, her mind was noisy, and she couldn't sleep. Fortunately, she put on a cardigan, lifted her shoes, did not turn on the light, only walked to the window by the light moonlight of the light gauze outside the window, pushed open the carved wooden window, and looked into the distance.

A heavy and simple eaves house, shrouded in the night cloud, the moonlight falls, according to the dreams of thousands of families, calm and peaceful.

But her home had long since been destroyed.

She gathered her clothes, her heart bitter, but also more tenacious.

Under the building, the apricot blossoms are thick and blooming. Under the shadow of the flowers, there seemed to be a person standing, she poked her head down, and saw that the person was also looking up at her, wearing a military uniform solemnly and coldly, looking out of place in the bustling apricot blossoms.

Xu Pingyan smiled politely, and then closed the window without hesitation, and the moment he turned around, he only heard the door shattering, and then a black shadow flashed in, sneaked to the side of the bed, took out a handful of bright and swaying long, and stabbed it in the quilt several times.

If she had fallen asleep there, she would have been a dead soul under the sword. She broke out in a cold sweat, held her breath, and quietly moved her steps. The black shadow snorted angrily, obviously finding that it was just an empty quilt, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Pingyan, with a cruel smile in his eyes, and pounced with a knife.

Xu Pingyan knew that she was by no means an opponent of an adult man in the cramped space, so she stabbed open the window with her arm, her voice was hoarse, and she fell by the window and shouted Shen Yucheng twice.

Shen Dashao rushed over when he heard the sound.

In the afterglow, Xu Pingyan saw the black shadow leaping closer, and the knife leached out a cold and faint silver light, rolling the wind, like the cool core of a poisonous snake, and blowing straight to her neck. Almost without thinking, she put her hands on the windowsill and jumped downstairs without hesitation.

She was like a withered butterfly, falling straight down, the wind was raging in her ears, and in the apricot blossoms, he saw Shen Dashao's eyes that were not afraid of danger, and for some reason he suddenly calmed her restless and frightened heart. She closed her eyes, and just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of hands held her tightly.

It's all to be expected.

There was a commotion of several shots upstairs, and then a black figure was seen jumping down from the window, falling to the ground in a sullen manner, with blood dripping from the bullet hole in his chest, and suddenly he lost his breath.

Shen Dashao put down Xu Pingyan, walked to the corpse with an expressionless face, and lowered himself to uncover the black cloth of the corpse.

Li Yong took a few elite soldiers down the stairs, and the military boots were all together, and said: "The subordinates wanted to capture this person alive, but who expected him to shoot himself to death." ”

Shen Dashao twisted the blood stains between his fingers, his eyes turned from faint to sharp, and ordered: "It's just a little thief who broke in by mistake, don't make a noise, you can deal with it." ”

Li Yong bowed his head, although he could vaguely guess the identity of the killer, but he didn't say much, and only dragged the body away with two guards.

Xu Pingyan looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and the night wind blew her cold.

On the line of life and death, Xu Pingyan can break the cauldron and sink the boat, put it to death and live later, a weak woman, although there is a look of surprise in her expression, but her eyes are extremely calm and composed. With such a killing decision, he felt that this woman was getting fresher and fresher.

"You're not afraid, I can't catch you? Or choose not to pick you up directly, after all, you and I are just a pawn of each other, and I don't know your bottom line, the chessboard is intricate, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less. Shen Dashao looked at her clear face, the smile on her face was warm, but her tone was slightly cold and playful, like a cat teasing a mouse.

Xu Pingyan is not a cringing mouse.

"Since the eldest young master is willing to deign to use me, a chess piece that can't figure out the details, it means that the eldest young master has no available chess pieces in his hands, and naturally it will not be before I play a role.

It's wasted. Xu Pingyan bent the corners of her lips, and the smile floated on her face, thin, like an apricot blossom.

Shen Dashao stared at her for a moment, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, with some appreciation, and he suddenly laughed loudly with his hands behind his back.

"Then guess which chess watcher wants to move you?"

Xu Pingyan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes were like mist, and she closed a dark halo of crow blue, and opened it after a while. Under the veins and moonlight, the eyes were black and white, clear and transparent, with frost flowers, "I have set foot in the lockdown and have never offended anyone, except for Dong Guosheng." The second young master was assassinated a few days ago, and today it is my turn, it seems that this envoy is really going to revenge. She sneered twice.

Shen Da Shao smiled idly, looked at a tree of apricot blossoms, and said casually: "Your identity is different from that of the second brother, the second brother is blessed with a great life, pick up a life, under my nose, people in the dark do not dare to act rashly." But I am not close to you, and I can't deliberately protect you, this is too eye-catching, and it is not conducive to your actions in the future. I can catch you once, but I can't catch you a second time. If you want to live well before you play a role, it depends on your own ability, after all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. ”

Xu Pingyan immediately realized that the big tree in his mouth was Shen Yuji.

She only had to hide under the protection of Shen Yujian, so that she could borrow Shen Dashao's hand to protect herself as she should.

Shen Dashao saw that she already understood what she meant, hooked his lips silently, dusted off the fallen flowers on his shoulders, and said gently: "It's cold at night, go back and rest." ”

With that, he walked away.

The wind was thin, and the apricot blossoms were still there, pounced on Xu Pingyan's face, and she didn't come back to her senses until the brick-blue shadow turned to the end of her sight.
