Standing up suddenly, Qiu Shichang left without saying a word, it seemed that he was going to find Su Yiling's important person. Standing behind him, Baili Lan said idly, "If it was really done by Su Yiling, wouldn't you just tear your face if you go now?" Do you want to save Ziyao or harm her! ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you really have to sit still!" Grabbing his hair irritably, Qiu Shichang said.

"All you can do now is wait, if you can't be calm, you are likely to harm Ziyao. Go home and get some rest, and if the other party has news, let me know at any time. After saying that, Bai Lilan turned around and left, ignoring the heartbroken Qiu Shichang.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Qiu Shichang's shadow that Chunfeng said worriedly, "County Lord, Dongxue's martial arts are not weak, if he is really taken away, the other party must also be a master, and the situation is not optimistic." ”

"No, Dongxue was taken away on purpose."

What the?

When a few girls heard this, they looked at Baili Lan in shock, not understanding why she said this.

"Although there were a lot of blood stains at the scene, if you look closely, they all flowed out after falling to the ground. Although the corpses have been removed, judging from the traces of dragging, they are all huge, and they should be men. There was not much blood at the scene, and judging from the traces of its flow, it looked like he had died under the swordsmanship of Dongxue. It can be seen that Dong Xue's martial arts are far above that of the assassins, and he was taken away in this situation, which can only explain one situation, and that is Dong Xue's deliberate behavior. ”

"Then why did Dongxue put his life at risk? That's too much to say. ”

Bai Lilan's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Qiushuang, I'm bringing the flag of the Water Gang." Looking at the broken flag, Baili Lan put it to her nose and sniffed it, then smiled suddenly, "I see." ”

Seeing this, several girls couldn't help but surround themselves and asked, "County Lord, what did you find?" ”

Throwing the flag aside with a slight smile, Baili Lan said leisurely, "If I remember correctly, the Bai family should be the one who has done the biggest spice business in this capital." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang nodded and said, "That's right, the Bai family spice Kyushu is famous." It's just that how did the county lord think of the Bai family? ”

"Because of this fragrance, I once smelled it on Bai Xuan'er. I didn't think anything at the time, but after two days, the smell was still lingering on the tip of my nose, so I felt strange, and later I found an opportunity to ask Bai Xuan'er. She said at the time that this spice was a secret of their Bai family, and it was not passed on, as long as a little, the taste could last for ten days, and it would last for a long time, making people never get tired of smelling it. I smelled that smell on that broken banner just now. Moreover, the Bai family's business in Jiangnan is extensive, and it is inevitable that they will have some contact with the Water Gang. If we invite the Assassins in the capital to do this, the Assassins will definitely know who we are, and they will have some scruples and let people hold the handle. It's better to find a strange helper, and after the matter is completed, the money and goods will be lost, and we will never see each other again. ”

"According to what the county lord said, the mastermind behind the scenes is Princess Ling? But it's very strange, she has always had a very good relationship with the county lord, and every time she sees you, she is not like other ladies and ladies, who are both flattering and afraid of you, but are really full of joy. ”

What Xia Yu said is not unreasonable, but it is precisely because of her proximity to the county lord that it is not easy for people to doubt. Perhaps, this is Bai Xuan'er's cunning! ”

After listening to what Xia Yu and Chunfeng said, Qiu Shuang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "County Lord, do we want to tell Qiu Shichang about this news?" ”

Baili Lan shook her head and said, "No, don't tell him just yet. These are just my speculations, and there is no definite evidence yet. Moreover, I have to find out the purpose of Bai Xuan'er's move first, whether it is for herself or for Su Yiling. Qiushuang, you go to the tea shop now, let the shopkeeper go to find out the movements of the Ling Palace, first see if Dongxue and Ziyao are safe, and then send the news inside as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

"Others, be ready at any time, if this opportunity is used well, it will be a turning point, a turning point that will make Su Yiling completely turn the tables!"

***

The news of the disappearance of the county lord of Ziyao was widely walked out by Baili Lan, and it didn't take long for even the queen mother in the harem to hear about it. According to rumors, Princess Chang'an cried and made a fuss after hearing this, and threatened to break the villain's body into ten thousand pieces. The Queen Mother and Concubine Qi were also very anxious, and ordered people to intensify the search, and they must ensure Qiu Ziyao's safety.

The bigger the movement outside, the more frightened Bai Xuan'er who was hiding in King Ling's mansion became.

Spreading all the maids around her, Bai Xuan'er only stood in the garden with a middle-aged woman, looking panicked.

"What the hell did you do to let you arrest Baili Lan, but how did you catch her maid and Ziyao County Lord? You know how much trouble your mistakes have caused me! ”

The person standing opposite Bai Xuan'er is the nurse who brought Bai Xuan'er up since childhood. After Bai Xuan'er grew up, she always served by her side, but after marrying into the palace, Bai Xuan'er had enough maids to serve, so she didn't bring her to the palace. But after many years of master-servant relationship, Bai Xuan'er trusted the nurse very much, and even for such a thing that could not be publicized, she asked the nurse for help.

The nurse is a woman over forty years old, because of years of hard work, her body is deformed, and her hair has white threads. The gorgeously dressed woman in front of her was brought up by her since she was a child, and she watched her go from babbling to being slim, and they spent more time together than the old lady stayed with her. But now, this person who he regarded as his closest person seemed to have suddenly changed his appearance, his soft face was full of hideousness, and his heart had become full of calculations now.

Lowering her head, the nurse blamed herself and said, "It's all bad old slaves, because I heard that Princess Chen was going to take the princess of Ziyao to the other courtyard, so I thought it would be her who went in person." Unexpectedly, she was so cunning that she would let a maid do it for her. Miss, what now? Will they suspect you? If they really guess the White Mansion, you will push the old slave out, and you must not let you get into danger! ”

Walking around impatiently, Bai Xuan'er frowned and said, "What do you think you can solve alone?" Who would believe an old slave who hijacked the county lord for no reason? That's it, now they can't suspect me here, at most, they think that someone who has an enmity with Qiu Shichang has kidnapped the county lord. Now that things have developed to this point, we are desperate, we must dispose of Qiu Ziyao and Dongxue, and no one can find the flaws and know that we did it. Nurse, you must not make a mistake this time, otherwise not only you, but even I will have to save my life! ”

"Don't worry, the county lord will definitely not make a mistake this time. The old slave asked the people of the Water Gang to send the two of them away. ”

"Who said it was sent away!" As if she suddenly stepped on Bai Xuan'er's tail, she screamed and said, "It's to kill them, kill them!" As long as they never speak, they can do it once and for all! ”

Bai Xuan'er's crazy appearance made the nurse's heart tremble, and at the same time, she began to chill from the soles of her feet. The nurse plucked up her courage and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, that's two lives." The little county lord is only seven years old, and that's it, that's it...... It's so cruel, it's going to be damned! The nurse really couldn't find the right words, but just repeated "will be damned" over and over again. Although there are intrigues in Baifu, they are all petty calculations between women, where will human life be involved? Now Bai Xuan'er wants her to kill people when she opens her mouth, and there is a child among them, how can she do it!?

"Are you soft-hearted? Nurse, have you softened your heart for the sake of two people who don't want to do it? Bai Xuan'er stopped and slowly walked towards the nurse, her eyes were as cruel as a snake, "If you let them go, then who will let us go?" If you exchanged your life for your life, would you be so generous to let those two go? You don't seem to realize what kind of environment we are in, now that they are either dead or we are dead, do you want to watch your son lose his mother? After you die, the vixen raised by your man outside can enter the house, rob your son, and take your husband, are you willing? ”

Thinking that the wicked woman would treat her son miserably, the nurse was like a knife. She gave birth to three sons, all of whom died young. Only the youngest son survived. Although she is over forty years old, her youngest son is only nine years old and cannot take care of himself. If that evil woman treats him badly in the future, his useless husband will not pay attention to his son at all, and when he thinks about it like this, he feels unbearable!

"The old slave will not die, the old slave must live well and raise my son to adulthood!" When the nurse raised her eyes again, she was already full of ruthlessness. Although she still can't bear to kill others, she can only sacrifice others compared to her own son!

Seeing the great change in the nurse's expression, Bai Xuan'er smiled proudly and said, "You go to the wooden house outside the bamboo forest now, and let the water gang help master do away with Dongxue and Qiu Ziyao." The corpse should be clean, preferably burned! ”

Thinking that she was about to solve Baili Lan's right-hand man, Bai Xuan'er felt a burst of pride in her heart. It's just that even if the winter snow is removed, it still hasn't shaken Baililan for half a point. This kind of realization makes Bai Xuan'er unhappy.

As the night grew darker, Qiu Ziyao looked at the willow treetops outside the iron window and shrunk tightly. Feeling Qiu Ziyao's nervousness, Dong Xue reached out and hugged her shoulder, and said with a light smile, "What's the matter, I'm afraid?" ”

Qiu Ziyao hurriedly shook her head, but the expression on her face was still pale, "I'm not afraid, I believe that the county lord will come to save us!" Sister Dongxue, are you right? ”

"Not necessarily."

Hearing this, Qiu Ziyao was stunned, looked at Dongxue as if she couldn't believe it, and asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

Looking at Qiu Ziyao again, Dongxue sighed lightly and repeated, "I said, the county lord may not come to save us!" ”

"How could it be! The county lord likes us so much, and knows that we are in danger, how can he not come to our rescue! As if she couldn't accept such a result, Qiu Ziyao refuted loudly, "You have to have faith in the county lord, she won't abandon us!" ”

Reaching out and caressing the top of Qiu Ziyao's hair, Dongxue said softly, "It's not that the county lord will abandon us, but as the county lord's people, we can't just wait for rescue." Do you know what the first words of the county lord to us after he woke up from the palace? It's 'I never raise useless people around me'. It sounds cruel, but it's right, who wants to carry a burden by their side. From that time on, I swore that I would not cause trouble to the county lord, and if one day I were captured by the enemy and threatened with it, I would rather kill myself than let the county lord frown because of this. ”
