Inside a hidden cave.

"Bastard! Rubbish! It's all rubbish! A fat man angrily scolded a man on his knees.

A scholar-like person said with a bit of yin and yang on the side: "It's useless for you to scold him to death now, it's better to find a way to get things back, otherwise ......"

The fat man glared at the scholar and said, "You don't have to be weird here, if this matter really knows to the master, you and I will all have to die!" ”

After speaking, the fat man shouted angrily: "That damn guy, what kind of bad habits do you have, you just like to record these old things, damn it!" ”

The scholar also sank, no one thought that that guy would have such a fetish, but as a result, he was known by the Lingxiao Pavilion master who had been staring at the master in recent years, and the things also fell into the hands of the people of Lingxiao Pavilion.

No one in the rivers and lakes knows that if you want to snatch something from Ling Xiao, it is simply difficult to ascend to the sky!

Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't have many people this time, they hurriedly dispatched almost all the men, and even sent the poisoner out in order to be sure, but who knew that Ling Xiao still ran away with his things.

If it weren't for a few people who were tracking and left a little clue before they were killed, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to track down the whereabouts of things now, and although that damn Ling Xiao is famous, it would be difficult to catch his traces.

Thinking of this, the scholar also stared at the person kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you sure the thing is with that woman?" With Ling Xiao's prudence, how could he give such an important thing to others casually. ”

The man kneeling on the ground had his arm bandaged, nodded hurriedly at this time, and said with some lingering fear: "Subordinates are sure." If it weren't for the subordinates who saw the opportunity last night, I am afraid that they would have become a dead corpse like everyone else, if it weren't for the people of Ling Xiao Pavilion, it would be impossible for that woman to kill all the brothers quietly, and the subordinates who had fought with that woman before, she would not know martial arts at all. ”

After listening to his words, the scholar and the fat man glanced at each other, originally they were not sure whether the thing was in the woman's hand, and they had sent someone to one to find out if the thing was in her place, and the other was to test it.

Now, it seems that the result has been tried, as the man kneeling on the ground said, if the thing is not in her hands, Ling Xiao Pavilion will not send someone to protect her.

The scholar thought for a moment and made a plan with the fat man......

I'm afraid that after Ling Xiao's order to go to the hidden places and want to find an opportunity to recapture the star treasure of the bag, he never thought that he asked his subordinates to kill those people, which seemed to be a kind move to protect Ling Qingrui, but it just became the other party's proof to determine that things were in Ling Qingrui's hands.

If Xinglan learned that this was the result, perhaps he would regret sending Xingbao to carry out the Pavilion Master's orders.

And Ling Qingrui was not ignorant of it, although those people were killed by Xingbao and the others before sneaking into her room, Ling Qingrui still noticed a hint of something different.

Chu Xue saw Ling Qingrui staring at the purple butterfly flowers outside the window, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Miss, but because you haven't found more purple butterfly flowers in the past two days, you're a little depressed?" ”

Shaking her head slightly, Ling Qingrui just felt that the purple butterfly flower was a little strange, it seemed that there was something more on it, but after a closer look, she couldn't see what was wrong, could it be the reason why she hadn't watered it in the past two days?

Ling Qingrui approached the purple butterfly flower and wanted to water it, but suddenly saw a little dark red flashing, Ling Qingrui hurriedly squatted down to take a closer look, but saw that it was a drop of dried blood!

Last night, it seems that something happened.

Reaching out and touching her neck, Ling Qingrui guessed that maybe it was the people who chased and killed Ling Xiao who came again, so who killed them?

For some reason, a flash of blue flashed through Ling Qingrui's mind......

"Miss, the second miss has come to visit Miss." Chu Xue's words interrupted Ling Qingrui's thoughts.

Standing up, Ling Qingrui hooked her lips slightly, Liu Mengyan probably learned about Liu Mengxikou's unspeakable things.

Liu Mengyan has been cultivating in the yard these days, and at this time she is half weak and half weak, and she is even weaker, only to hear her smile and say: "Sister Rui, Yan'er has come to see you, did you disturb Sister Rui?" ”

Ling Qingrui's gaze swept from behind Liu Mengyan, looking at the maid who was dressed as a woman with some eyes, but was much younger than the average grandmother, and responded: "No, if it weren't for the poor health these days, I would have gone to visit the second sister a long time ago, and the second sister is better?" ”

"Yan'er is much better, is Sister Rui sick too? The three of us sisters are really ......."

Speaking of this, Liu Mengyan shook her head slightly with bitterness on her face, and said: "A few days ago, Yan'er originally made an appointment with Miss Chen and Miss Zheng to go to incense, but it was postponed for so long, and it was not good to continue to shirk it. ”

Glancing at the maid again, Ling Qingrui had a smile on her lips, nodded and said, "Naturally, I want to pray for my grandmother, but it's just ......"

"Sister Rui, what's the difficulty? If this is the case, Yan'er will not force Sister Rui, and Yan'er will go and pray for her grandmother by herself. ”

"It's not that I have any difficulties, but now I'm afraid that the city gates are closed, and we won't be able to get out of the city."

Liu Mengyan was a little surprised and said, "How come, Yan'er is still in contact with Miss Chen and Miss Zheng at the city gate......

At this moment, the little maid in Liu Mengyan's room hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss, Miss Chen and Miss Zheng sent someone, saying that the city gate is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zheng are not allowed to leave the house. ”

Hearing this, Liu Mengyan's face couldn't help but sink slightly, and she hated it in her heart! Originally, I was still thinking about ......

Seeing Ling Qingrui's gaze, Liu Mengyan hurriedly put a smile on her face and said, "It's really not a coincidence, it's so ......."

Turning her head, Liu Mengyan's gaze fell on the maid that Ling Qingrui was looking at, and asked, "Yuzhu, do you know any good places to go, so that Sister Rui can relax?" ”

Hearing the name Yuzhu, Ling Qingrui knew that she really didn't guess wrong, although she hadn't seen this Yuzhu much, she also knew that Yuzhu was the maid next to the old lady, she got married some time ago, and for some reason she went to Liu Mengyan's side to serve.

Ling Qingrui didn't know that there were too many things that had happened during this time, and the old lady was unstable in her heart, so she not only sent An Lan to Liu Mengxi's side, but also sent Shuangju to go, and when she wanted to send the only remaining big girl Qiaomei to Liu Mengyan's side, she was dissuaded by Mama Chen.

The old lady thought about it, so she sent Yuzhu, who had been assigned to a housekeeper as his wife, to Liu Mengyan's side.

On the side, Yuzhu respectfully stepped forward and said: "I'm afraid the two young ladies have never known, now there is news of the plague in the city, so the city gate will be closed and no one is allowed to enter and exit, for the safety of the two young ladies, the slave maid thinks it is better to go to the house to walk by the lotus pond, what do the two young ladies think?" ”

Liu Mengyan exclaimed: "Plague? ”

Liu Mengyan has been cultivating for the past few days, and she really didn't know the news, but when she learned it, she couldn't help but turn pale, and she secretly hated Ling Qingrui in her heart It was really good luck, it seemed that she was really going to implement another plan.

Liu Mengyan gently helped a hairpin on the top of her head, and a little maid outside the door quietly slipped out when she saw this.

Ling Qingrui looked at Yuzhu suspiciously, although there was a plague outbreak in the city, but Liu Wenzhe did not say anything about the plague in order not to worry the old lady, so although everyone in the mansion knew that Liu Wenzhe ordered that he was not allowed to leave the mansion at will, they did not know why.

Where did you get this rain bamboo?

"Where did you hear about this?"

It was said by the head of the slave and maid that many people were sick. The slave shouldn't have been talkative, but she was worried about the safety of the two young ladies, so she said it and asked Miss Rui for forgiveness. ”

Seeing that Yuzhu was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and moderate, Ling Qingrui couldn't help but nodded, the old lady's training was really good.

Liu Mengyan pursed her lips, her eyes rolled slightly, thinking of her sister's miserable situation now, she finally didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Yan'er really didn't know that such a big thing happened in the city, no wonder my father has been busy these days." Sister Rui, my father must be very tired as the prefect of Yunzhou City, and we should do our best as a father's daughter. ”

Ling Qingrui raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't know what the second sister thinks, what should I do?" ”

"Yan'er doesn't know what to do." Liu Mengyan pretended to be anxious and said: "Why don't you just follow what Yuzhu said, let's sisters go to Qinghe Pond and discuss it together, okay?" ”

Ling Qingrui wanted to see what this Liu Mengyan wanted to do, so she agreed, and the two of them took their respective maids out of Bixia Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to a corridor, Liu Mengyan's figure suddenly shook unsteadily a few times, and then she fell softly into Yuzhu's arms, which frightened Yuzhu's face white.

Ling Qingrui lowered her eyes and looked at Liu Mengyan weakly clutching her chest, pretending to be panicked and said, "I'm afraid that the second sister is suffering from heat stroke, Yuzhu, you can help her go to the house to rest for a while." ”

Yuzhu hurriedly helped Liu Mengyan into the side pavilion on the side, Liu Mengyan was angry and told Yuzhu to go to her room to get the pills, Yuzhu saw that she was really sad and anxious, while she should go to get the pills, while Yang Chuxue went to ask for a doctor, under Yuzhu's eager gaze, although Chuxue was worried about Ling Qingrui, she had to obey the order.

After that, Yuzhu asked Ling Qingrui to take care of Liu Mengyan for the time being, and then hurriedly ran to get the pills.

Seeing that in the room, only herself and Ling Qingrui were left, and Liu Mengyan, who was originally half-leaning on the side of the bed, sat up, where was there still a trace of weakness just now.

"Sister Rui, who do you think grandmother will trust more?"

At this time, Ling Qingrui frowned slightly, and the room was ......
