Xue Yarou turned over and stabbed out with a sword, but the flower thief leaned back, dodged the sword, and then kicked the sword in Xue Yarou's hand to the ground with a lift of his hind foot, and turned around and struck out with a palm.

Huo Jiulin stepped forward to pull Xue Yarou away, caught the palm of the flower thief, and then took Xue Yarou to the side in a few spinning steps.

"Are you alright?"

Xue Yarou shook her head, Huo Jiulin let go of his hand, picked up the jade flute hanging on the wall by Chen Yan, and stepped forward to deal with the flower thief, the flower thief looked at the person in front of him who was fighting with him with a flute, although he was holding a jade flute, but he could use swordsmanship.

Huo Jiulin wanted to make a quick decision, because Shen Yiqing was now in the courtyard outside, and he was afraid that he would have trouble after a long time.

"Who are you?"

Because his current identity is the groom, he still has to act, but to his surprise, the flower thief did not intend to intervene, but shot a row of hidden weapons at him.

Huo Jiulin dodged to avoid it, and then saw the flower thief coming out of the window, he and Xue Yarou hurriedly chased out, Xue Wu and Zhang Cheng and others who were waiting for an ambush in the courtyard saw that the flower thief did not take Xue Yarou away, and they knew that the plan had failed, so they brought people out to surround the flower thief in the middle of the courtyard.

"Bold thief, don't hurry up and catch him!"

Zhang Cheng shouted loudly, and the flower thief didn't say a word from beginning to end, but directly raised his sword and fought with those yamen catchers and the guards of the city lord's mansion.

According to their guesses, the flower thief's martial arts are indeed very high, Huo Jiulin joined the battle and said with a smile: "I always feel that your figure is a little familiar, have we seen it anywhere?" ”

The flower thief's eyes lit up, and his move instantly became ruthless, Huo Jiulin was no longer distracted, and the other people around him saw that they couldn't help, so they all gathered around and waited for the opportunity for the time being.

Huo Jiulin held the sword body stabbed by the flower thief with his bare hands, and the jade flute in his right hand turned and slashed towards the flower thief, the flower thief felt a pain in his shoulder, and looked down at a bloody wound.

"The eyes are more familiar, it looks like I've seen them before!"

After Huo Jiulin finished speaking, the flower thief let go of his sword, and then attacked with a palm, Huo Jiulin avoided it, but he didn't expect that the target of the flower thief was not him, but he took out a few darts from his arms and shot them in different directions.

At the same time, he suddenly attacked Shen Yiqing not far away, Huo Jiulin hurriedly shouted: "A-Qing be careful!" ”

Because there was too much noise in the courtyard, Shen Yiqing couldn't tell which side it was coming from for a while, and he suddenly slapped him hard in the heart, and the next moment there was an extra dagger on his neck.

"Aqing!"

Huo Jiulin was still a step slower in the end, and everyone around him realized that he had been fooled just now.

"Flower thief, you quickly let Brother Shen go!"

Xue Yarou roared angrily, the dagger that the flower thief rested on Shen Yiqing's neck suddenly tightened a little, Shen Yiqing snorted, and there was a blood mark on his neck in an instant.

"Don't touch him."

Huo Jiulin's voice was a little anxious, and then he tried to calm himself down, "I don't know what you want to do, I thought you took those brides because you were too sexual, but now it doesn't seem to be, so can you tell me, you are a woman, why do you want to arrest those brides?" ”

"Woman?"

Everyone was a little surprised, Huo Jiulin smiled at Xue Yarou: "Miss Xue, you also know this flower thief." ”

Xue Yarou was confused: "I know each other too?" Who is it? ”

"Do you say it yourself, or do I tell you for you?"

Huo Jiulin asked the flower thief, and the flower thief chuckled lightly and replied, "Lin Gongzi is really good eyesight. ”

Xue Yarou was stunned, with a look of disbelief: "This voice... Wine lady? ”

"Wine lady, let's talk about it slowly, you let go of Aqing first, and I promise you can leave safely."

"Since I've done these things, I haven't thought about how long I'll live, Yarou, you see, these two men are not worthy of you, and all the men in this world are not good things."

"Wine lady... Why do you want to be a flower thief? ”

"Yarou, I'm sorry for you, I've been deceiving you all along, if I can, I hope you don't know these things for the rest of your life, but it's a pity...... Some things have to be made clear sooner or later, but before that, I want to warn Lin Gongzi first, since you like Shen Sangongzi, don't provoke Yarou half-heartedly. ”

After Cai Jiuniang finished speaking, she suddenly raised her left hand and took out a small medicine bottle, opened it and poured it into Shen Yiqing's mouth, Shen Yiqing swallowed a few mouthfuls in a hurry, Huo Jiulin took the opportunity to step forward and slap Cai Jiuniang on the shoulder, and then dragged Shen Yiqing into his arms with one hand and stepped aside.

"Aqing... Aqing, how are you? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

"Cai Jiuniang, what did you give him?"

Cai Jiuniang suddenly laughed, "It's nothing, it's just to help you make a choice, don't worry, it's not a poison, it's just wine." ”

Huo Jiulin looked incredulous, Shen Yiqing coughed a few times and calmed down a little, just wanted to say that he was fine, but he felt that something was wrong with the whole person, and it seemed that a feeling of dryness and heat slowly rose from his body.

"This ......"

"Aqing, what's wrong?"

"It's a little hot, and I... Something is wrong with this wine......"

Shen Yiqing had an ominous premonition in his heart, and Cai Jiuniang on the other side explained: "My special Spring Festival drunkenness is much more powerful than ordinary medicine, and there is no medicine to solve, which can be regarded as a thank you gift for me to thank Gongzi Lin for exposing my identity." ”

"You!"

Huo Jiulin wanted to cut Cai Jiuniang with a thousand knives, but unfortunately the person in his arms seemed to be very wrong, his whole body was shockingly hot, and he seemed to be pulling his own clothes.

"Aqing?"

"Huo Jiulin, hot."

Huo Jiulin hugged Shen Yiqing horizontally and said to Xue Wu, "City Lord Xue, the next thing will be handed over to you." ”

"Okay."

Xue Wu didn't react a little, everything in front of him seemed to be a little chaotic, the flower thief was actually a woman, and he was very familiar with his daughter, he didn't expect this.

Huo Jiulin hesitated for a moment and then reminded: "I suggest you let the others back down a bit, I think this may be your family matter." ”

"Family matters?"

"The Cai wine lady in front of you is a master of winemaking, her original surname is Gu, you can figure it out yourself."

Xue Wu felt that these words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and looked at Cai Jiuniang, who was dressed in black and masked, with a surprised expression, Cai Jiuniang did not look at Xue Wu, but looked at Huo Jiulin.

"I was curious the day before yesterday, even if you are from Yunyan City, you have heard about the ancient family winery, and it is impossible to think of me immediately, after all, there are more people who can make wine in this world, don't say anything about the accent, I asked the guys in the store yesterday, and they said that they couldn't hear my accent."

"The son of the deceased."

"The deceased?" Cai Jiuniang already felt that Huo Jiulin's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to an old man, but now when she heard him say this, she looked at him with some surprise and said, "You are Su ......."

"It doesn't matter who I am, I hope you don't be blinded by hatred, some things don't need to be so paranoid."

After Huo Jiulin finished speaking, he hugged Shen Yiqing and prepared to leave, but Cai Jiuniang shouted to him: "Wait a minute." ”

He paused, but didn't turn back, Cai Jiuniang's voice was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry for the matter of Shen Sangongzi, if I knew it was you, I wouldn't... But don't worry, this wine is not harmful to the body, it is just ......"

It's just a strong medicine.

"Are you Lan Rui?"

In addition to the shock, there was also a little bitterness in Xue Wu's eyes, as if a wound that had been buried in his heart for many years was suddenly torn open again, obviously the same wound, but it was more painful than the last time.

Cai Jiuniang raised her hand and took off the face towel on her face, although there was a scar on the left side of her face, she could also see that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

"Xue Wu, you killed more than a dozen lives of my Gu family, and now you dare to recognize me?"

Xue Wu was a little incomprehensible: "I hurt your family?" Wine lady, the fire in your house was an accident seventeen years ago, I thought you were also buried in the fire, but fortunately ......"

"Hehha, accident? surnamed Xue, you are really a master of acting, but unfortunately I didn't know people well at the beginning, so I was deceived by you for so long, and finally harmed everyone around me. ”

Zhang Cheng saw that they did know each other, so he beckoned those officials to retreat first, leaving them some private space, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to retreat because they were worried about the safety of Xue Wu and Xue Yarou.

Xue Yarou couldn't understand their conversation at all, the wine lady and her father seemed to know each other before, and it sounded like they had a lot of relationship, what was going on?

On the other side, Huo Jiulin did not take Shen Yiqing back to the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion, after they left the Chen Mansion, they directly found a nearby inn, without alarming anyone, they jumped off the roof, found a vacant room and entered through the window.

Put Shen Yiqing on the bed, he went down to find Xiao Er to set up this room, the shopkeeper looked at the person who suddenly appeared and disappeared with a blank face, and felt that he must be dazzled, but when he lowered his head, there was indeed a silver ingot in his hand.

Shen Yiqing tightened his eyebrows in some pain, he still had a trace of reason, and knew that he should calm down, but his whole body was extremely hot, and his hands wanted to rip off all the clothes on his body uncontrollably.

"A-Qing."

Huo Jiulin walked to the bed, Shen Yiqing's clothes had been almost torn by himself, when had the third son of Shen Sangongzi, who was originally cold and cold, been so embarrassed.

"Huo Jiulin."

"I'm here."

"Water, cold water, take me to Xiumei Lake."

Cai Jiuniang said that there is no cure for this wine, so it may not be useful to soak in cold water, besides, he was a little cold because of the falling water the day before yesterday, how could he bear to let him suffer so much on such a cold day.

Huo Jiulin propped his hands on his sides and said in a low voice, "Aqing, don't use cold water, I'll help you." ”

"Don't."

"Who am I?"

Shen Yiqing looked at Huo Jiulin with some confusion, he didn't know why he suddenly asked like this, his mind was in a mess now, and he couldn't think about too complicated questions, so he could only make the simplest answer: "Huo Jiulin." ”

"Not enough, a few words missing."

"What?"

"Aqing, I am Huo Jiulin who loves you the most in this world, Huo Jiulin who wants to marry you the most, and Huo Jiulin who wants to hold you in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he lowered his head and kissed his lips, Shen Yiqing seemed to have grabbed driftwood in the water, climbed Huo Jiulin's neck with both hands, and opened his mouth for the first time to respond to his kiss.
