The closer he got to Rong Mansion, the more Xiu Yue could hear the gasp in Rong Zhao's chest, because of the long run, his breathing quickly exhaled on the top of Xiu Yue's head, and there was a lazy warmth.

The guards standing at the door of the Rong Mansion saw Rong Zhao, and they all looked up in surprise and said, "Rong Guard." ”

Rong Zhao stopped the horse, helped Xiuyue to walk down, handed the horse rope to the person on the side, and then said, "How is the situation in the house?" ”

Several guards looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

Rong Zhao's heart tightened, and he instinctively felt that something seemed to have happened.

Xiu Yue on the side immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The men were still stumbling, seemingly reluctant to speak.

Suddenly, the door of Rongfu was opened, and a man walked out, the man's ordinary face was still resolute, but the difference was that he was surrounded by heavy white gauze around his waist, and his face was relatively pale, but his body movements did not slow down in the slightest.

"Childe, Xiuyue girl."

The few people guarding the door finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tang Sheng coming out, and several people got out of the way, and Rong Zhao and Xiuyue walked into the mansion.

Tang Sheng took a few steps back, walked behind Rong Zhao, and said softly, "Childe." ”

Rong Zhao nodded, his steps were fast, and he walked towards the main courtyard vigorously. "What's wrong?"

Tang Sheng said in a deep voice: "There is an assassin night attack. ”

After a pause, he immediately said, "The county lord is fine." ”

Xiu Yue on the side was obviously aware of it, and Rong Zhao on the side breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Tang Sheng continued: "The prince has only been gone for a few days, and the day before yesterday, someone attacked the main courtyard at night, and the guards killed two and seriously injured one, and the county lord was fine. ”

Rong Zhao asked coldly, "What about the assassins?" ”

Tang Sheng on the side bowed his head and said, "Escaped." ”

Xiuyue thought that Rong Zhao would be angry, but he didn't react, just nodded casually, and then continued to rush to the main courtyard.

Along the way, Tang Sheng took advantage of this effort to hurriedly report the recent events, and the rest were some messy little things, except for two things, one thing was that Director Xiao characterized Bizhu as suicide, and it seemed that his body had recovered. Another incident is the assassination, which is being investigated by Mr. Yung.

can already see the main courtyard, Xiu Yue glanced at it from a distance, the barrier above the main courtyard is good, there is no crack, through the roof, Xiu Yue can see the light emitted by the wooden card she gave to Rong Yao, but these are just not visible to ordinary people.

Xiu Yue said in a deep voice: "No problem, it shouldn't be a cultivator." ”

If it was just an ordinary person, he would naturally enter the formation without hindrance, but it can be concluded that there should be no potential safety hazards left.

Rong Zhao nodded, pushed open the door of the main courtyard, and saw Rong Yao painting in the courtyard at a glance.

After not seeing her for a few days, Rong Yao was a little thin. Some of the original decorations in the courtyard are gone, and the flowers and plants next to it have been reduced a lot, and it seems that the fight at that time was quite fierce.

Seeing Rong Zhao and the others coming back, Rong Yao immediately put down the paintbrush, greeted him with a smile, and saw Tang Sheng behind the two of them, frowned, "Why did you come out again?" ”

Tang Sheng lowered his head and clenched his fists without speaking, and it seemed that he was not ready to leave.

Rong Yao walked over and grabbed the corner of Rong Zhao's clothes, and said, "You have an injury, so naturally you should go back and have a good rest, since the Rong guards are back, you can rest assured that you can go back and rest." ”

There were other maids around, and Rong Zhao couldn't say anything, so he nodded quietly and looked at Tang Sheng to the side.

Tang Sheng understood, leaned over and left.

Rong Yao smiled and pulled Xiu Yue and Rong Zhao to the side of the flower stand, pointed to the painting on it and smiled: "How?" ”

Xiu Yue couldn't help but smile, this has just experienced an assassination, but she is still in the mood to paint, it seems that this mood is not ordinarily good.

Rong Yao picked up the brush, drew a few more strokes attentively, and said to Rong Yao: "This is a landscape map, which is naturally an extremely beautiful scenery. ”

Behind the painting skills, the brushstrokes are perfect, the lines are crisp and neat, and the ink is properly smudged, Xiu Yue can't help but nod when she looks at it.

Rong Zhao stood behind him, but he frowned and asked, "Didn't you hurt your body?" ”

Rong Yao shook her head, raised her hand and drove out some maids in the courtyard, and then said, "There was nothing big at the time, thanks to Tang Sheng, who saved me." ”

Rong Zhao nodded and said, "I'll treat him." ”

Rong Yao didn't seem to want to talk about the assassin, so she looked at Xiu Yue and asked, "Have you got the twin flowers?" ”

Xiuyue nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Now that this matter has been dealt with, Rong Yao is no longer worried, the look on her face suddenly relaxed, she put away the painting on one side, put the pen and ink away, and then said, "That assassin didn't know why he came." ”

Xiu Yue remembered the strange atmosphere in the city when she first entered the city that never sleeps, and frowned: "When I came back today, I always felt that something was wrong there, presumably, it should also have something to do with this matter." ”

Rong Zhao nodded and said, "I have already told Tang Sheng to send someone to investigate, and I should be told the result soon." ”

Someone suddenly knocked on the door, Xiu Yue glanced at Rong Yao, and said, "Come in." ”

The one who came in turned out to be Han Rou.

Han Rou took the tea, lowered her head and walked over slowly, and put the tea on the table again.

At this time, Xiu Yue and Rong Zhao were already standing behind Rong Yao, and Xiu Yue naturally saw Han Rou's movements clearly.

The imperceptible smile of the other party since he came in, and the body that slowly invaded Yu Rongzhao, were even more clearly seen.

Pouring the tea into the teacup, Han Rou slowly spoke, "The county lord, please drink tea." ”

After that, he pretended to take a step back, but accidentally stepped on his foot and fell straight backwards, and naturally he was called behind him.

Xiu Yue dragged Rong Zhao without thinking about it, and let Han Rou fall directly to the ground.

Han Rou fell to the ground with a "bang", and the dull voice made Xiu Yue laugh out loud, and said to Han Rou on the ground: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Han Rou glanced at her resentfully, then looked at Rong Zhao pitifully, and said aggrievedly: "Young Master Rong."

Rong Zhao didn't bird her at all, and walked straight behind Rong Yao, ignoring the cold and soft on the ground.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Rong Yao on the side took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Han Rou, this tea tastes too bad, don't you care again?"

Han Rou hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "County master, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, Master Xiao asked the slave and maid to come back, and the slave and maid must serve the county lord well."

Rong Yao nodded and said, "Go down."

When Han Rou walked out, Xiu Yue wrinkled her brows and said, "Didn't Rong Zhao transfer away?" Why did you come back again?"

Rong Yao smiled bitterly: "You haven't been here for a few days, so Director Xiao casually found a reason and transferred it back." It's the truth, and it's hard for me to refute it. ”

Xiu Yue looked at her and teased, "His Royal Highness the County Lord was really majestic just now."

Rong Yao pretended to be annoyed and said, "You haven't been paying attention to your work lately."

Xiu Yue smiled.

The three of them briefly talked about the events of the last two days, and some specific situations were also ventilated, and after dinner, Tang Sheng brought people over.

The man was a man, and he was strong, but he was thinner, tied, and had some wounds on his body.

Tang Sheng stood aside in a black robe, and the long sword was placed on the man's neck, lazily on it.

The man trembled and tried to stay away, but his body was tied and he couldn't move.

"What's your name?" Rong Zhao was also dressed in a black robe, and the coldness on his body was a little heavier than Tang Sheng on the side.

"Villain, villain Wang Ping." The man glanced at Rong Zhao in horror and immediately lowered his head.

"Why did you assassinate His Royal Highness the County Lord?" Rong Zhao turned around and asked.

The man's face changed, he couldn't speak, his eyes dodged, and the last one paused, and said loudly: "Villain, villain doesn't know that it's His Royal Highness the county lord, villain, the big man spared the little one."

Xiu Yue on the side snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You don't know that it's His Royal Highness the County Lord?" There is only one Rong Mansion in this city that never sleeps, are you blind?" The man was speechless for a moment. Xiu Yue said again: "Even if you don't know that it's the county lord's mansion, you can assassinate at will?" Who gave you the guts?"

Tang Sheng next to him cooperated and gently slid the long sword, and the sharp blade cut a blood mark between the man's neck, and the blood quickly flowed out.

The man suddenly sat down on the ground, looking at Xiu Yue hesitantly and not daring to speak.

Rong Zhao had been carrying his body on his back, but he suddenly glanced back at the ground, and said slowly: "Pry open your mouth and bring it over."

Tang Sheng answered, and dragged the man out as if he were carrying a rag.

Rong Yao had already returned to his house, there was no one in the yard, and in the small firewood room next to him, there were bursts of frightened screams, but after a while, he heard the man's hoarse voice: "The villain knows that he is wrong, he knows that he is wrong, the villain says, the villain says."

Rong Zhao sat on the stone bench and smiled softly.

When Tang Sheng walked out with the man this time, he already had too obvious wounds on his body, not only that, Tang Sheng was holding a piece of cloth in his hand, and the cloth was slowly seeping blood out, and he already knew what was inside.

The man's clothes on one leg were only rags, drenched in blood, and he couldn't walk, so he could only drag it.

Coming to Rong Zhao, the man sat on the ground with a pop, because Xiuyue had already seen the white bones on the man's knees, and now let him kneel, that would be his life.

Rong Zhao didn't force it, and said in a deep voice: "Say it."

The man gritted his teeth and said with a crying voice: "Villain, villain went to the city that never sleeps, I happened to meet a man on the road, the man was masked, and the villain didn't see clearly, the man gave the villain a lot of silver, so that the villain only needs to come in, and then ...... Then ......"

Waiting for him for a while, he didn't expect the man to say anything, Rong Zhao lost his patience, and just raised his hand, the man hurriedly said, "Let the villain ...... Done...... Did this...... I became a maid in this house. ”

The man said, and hurriedly said: "But the villain doesn't know that it's the county lord, the man said it's a maid, and there's just a grudge, the small, the little one doesn't know that it's His Royal Highness the county lord, if you know, you don't dare to give the little ten timid ones."

"Who's that man?"
