When Zhou Nuannuan returned to the Agarwood Residence, the twilight had passed and the moon had risen into the sky. She stopped in the courtyard, facing the gentle and dry evening breeze, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and thought of the unwilling expression on Zhang Qiyue's face when she was drunk, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook a beautiful arc.

Zhou Nuannuan walked into the living room, Cheng Beichuan and Yu Hui were already waiting here, got up and saluted together, and then glanced at each other.

Cheng Beichuan coughed dryly and said: "Second Miss, your subordinates shouldn't interfere with your itinerary, it's just that there are many people of all kinds coming and going from the east and west of Wangsha City. If I go out in the future, I implore the second lady to follow me from afar, so that we will not be anxious, I don't know if it is okay?"

Zhou Nuannuan smiled and said: "Uncle Chuan, you can't blame me for this, you let so many people follow me, it's like a street parade, how else can I play?"

Cheng Beichuan smiled bitterly: "It's because the subordinates are not thoughtful, and they will definitely be corrected in the future." Then he hesitated a little and hesitated: "I heard that the second lady went to the same moon building?"

Zhou Nuannuan blinked her eyelashes and said, "Well, I went to see Zhang Qiyue, and by the way, I had a good time with him." ”

Cheng Beichuan laughed and said, "Presumably July hasn't woken up yet, right?"

Zhou Nuannuan saw Cheng Beichuan's knowing look, and understood that he already knew about the wine fight, and said angrily: "Uncle Chuan, you laugh at me again." ”

Cheng Beichuan shook his head and chuckled: "I don't dare, I'm just thinking about how funny that kid in July must be when he wakes up." ”

Zhou Nuannuan smiled knowingly: "Who made him so arrogant, this girl had to teach him a lesson." Just as he was about to drink tea, he suddenly looked around and asked, "Where's the white cup?"

Cheng Beichuan restrained his laughter and said, "I'm resting in the guest room, and I don't seem to be in a good mood." Second Miss, Young Master Bai is a guest after all, so it would be better for you to appease him. ”

Zhou Nuannuan nodded, "I'll go see him." Then he put down the teacup, called the waiter, and went to look for the white cup.

After Zhou Nuannuan left, Yu Hui sighed: "When I first arrived today, I encountered such a thing, I don't know what will happen to Young Master Bai next." ”

Cheng Beichuan smiled bitterly, "We can't interject, it all depends on how Miss comforts him." I really don't know why this young master Bai went to tease July. ”

Yu Hui sighed again: "No matter what the reason, he has already lost such a big face, I'm afraid he won't give up." ”

Cheng Beichuan stroked his beard lightly and said helplessly: "The Bai family has no foundation here, where is he the opponent of July." If we insist on begging for hardship, we should not see it. ”

......

Zhou Nuannuan knocked on Bai Zhan's door, Bai Zhan opened the door expressionlessly and welcomed Zhou Nuannuan into the room, sat at the table and didn't look at Zhou Nuannuan, Mu Ran said: "Nuan Nuan, I'm leaving, I have waited here until now, just to say goodbye to you in person." ”

Zhou Nuannuan frowned slightly, and said, "I can understand your feelings of frustrated self-esteem, but it's too childish to leave in anger, right?"

Bai Zhan lowered his head, looked at the ground and said, "My heart has been decided, you don't need to persuade me." Can you tell me who this July is?"

Zhou Nuannuan somewhat understood his thoughts, and said: "He is a guest recommended by Uncle Chuan, and I see him for the first time today, but I just want to see how this young guest who is praised by Uncle Sichuan is." I don't know what medicine you took wrong, so I suddenly went up to him to get in trouble. ”

Bai Zhan was silent for a long time, and said: "I'm not like this on weekdays, but I can't help it when I see you eyebrow over there." ”

Zhou Nuannuan said unhappily: "What you said is too ugly, why are you eyebrows?"

Bai Zhan said bitterly: "You have never looked at me with that kind of eyes." ”

Zhou Nuannuan felt that Bai Zhan was simply unreasonable, and poked his head lightly and scolded: "I'm just a little curious about Zhang Qiyue, what are you thinking in your head." ”

Bai Zhan shook his head and didn't say anything. He had seen countless warblers and Yanyan in Yangzhou, and he knew very well what this curious eye meant. He couldn't stand the fact that the woman he loved looked at other men in this way.

"Today's disgrace will be repaid doubly. Bai Zhan whispered.

Zhou Nuannuan sighed, feeling that Bai Zhan was so naïve, and didn't want to persuade anything more, so he said softly: "Then I wish you a happy revenge, I'm tired, go and rest first." ”

Looking at Zhou Nuannuan's figure drifting away, Bai Zhan's eyes showed an unwilling light. When he and his uncle went to Qizhou to discuss cooperation with Agarwood, he was shocked when he saw the heroic Zhou Nuannuan, and immediately felt that this was the woman he was looking for in his life, so he pursued it vigorously. thought that she and Zhou Nuannuan were a match made in heaven, but she had been lukewarm to herself. He even let go of his identity and came to this poor countryside with Zhou Nuannuan, but he didn't expect to be humiliated by a country boy, and now he is leaving, Zhou Nuannuan didn't have a word to stay.

So you look down on me like this. Bai Zhan's face was solemn, and a black flame grew in his heart.

......

In the lobby of the same moon building, a square table.

Zhang Qiyue poured a bowl of wine, picked it up and said to Xiao Shuo next to him: "Come, fight wine." ”

Xiao Shuo said speechlessly: "I don't want to drink, and I think it's completely pointless for you to practice drinking now, the difference between you and Zhou Nuannuan's rank is too much, how can you simply catch up." ”

Zhang Qiyue drank it all in one gulp, and said disapprerovitically: "That's why I have to fight, otherwise I keep thinking about losing, how boring is such a life." ”

Xiao Shuo said he couldn't understand and questioned: "Why do you have to fight, you can choose not to fight." ”

Zhang Qiyue poured another bowl of wine and said, "You are wrong, this is not a choice." The old man told me that life is just two words, boil and fight. Some people choose to boil, some people choose to fight, although those who fight have success and failure, and those who boil to the end, after all, they still have to choose to fight, and they can't hide at all. Therefore, you have to fight. "After that, it's another bowl of wine.

Xiao Shuo thought for a while and said: "The words are very reasonable, but it seems to be rigid when it comes to your wine practice, and Zhou Nuannuan compares the amount of wine, anyway, I am not optimistic about you, you should take a detour." ”

Zhang Qiyue's eyes widened, and he said: "Manly man, where you fall, where you get up, it's called cowardice." ”

Xiao Shuo sighed and said, "Then I wish you can be more elegant next time you are drunk and lying down." ”

While chatting, someone beckoned to Xiao Shuo at the door, Xiao Shuo walked over, and the person who came whispered a few words to Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo frowned, and communicated with the person in a low voice for a while, and then signaled him to leave.

Xiao Shuo walked to the table and said to Zhang Qiyue with a serious face: "Ling Hefan, the commander of the city guards, was attacked at his residence last night, and after the fierce battle, the assassin retreated, and Ling Hefan's right arm was seriously damaged. ”

Zhang Qiyue asked, "The number of assassins, their abilities, and the ability to leave clues?"

Xiao Shuo replied: "There was only one person, no obvious clues were left, and he was decisively evacuated before being surrounded by the city guards. Ling Hefan is in the middle stage of foundation building, and if he can hurt him so far, he will retreat with his whole body, and the assassin realm is only afraid that it is not lower than him. Shall we go and see?"

Zhang Qiyue pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "This is just an appetizer, you let the green leopard keep an eye on the city lord's mansion, that is the main dish over there, and it is estimated that the time to leave the table is not far away." ”

Xiao Shuo nodded, "The City Lord's Mansion has already been arranged, so don't worry." But there's another piece of news, I don't know if it's useful. Xiao Shuo's face was full of doubt, and he said: "Miss Zhao's fiancé Li Qun died of serious illness in Fuzhong a few days ago, it is found that this Li Qun has been seriously ill for nearly a year, and there is nothing abnormal about his death, but at this point in time, I always feel a little strange. ”

Zhang Qiyue said thoughtfully: "There is indeed something wrong, these two things are not quite right. ”

"Oh, what do you think?" asked Xiao Shuo.

Zhang Qiyue was noncommittal, "I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it again." Then he paced to the door, watched the people coming and going in the street, and pondered.

Xiao Shuo walked to Zhang Qiyue's side, looked at the somewhat gloomy weather, and seemed to say to himself: "It seems that it is about to rain." ”

......

A few days later, the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Mantian stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face. All the subordinates stood behind him, no one spoke, and their expressions were a little solemn.

"I called you here to give me ideas, not to stand on your stakes. If you don't speak, what's the use of you?" Zhao Mantian rubbed his swollen forehead vigorously and said bitterly.

Master Ding took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "City Lord, the situation on Miss Xueyan is unheard of by us, and we are really helpless. It is better to put up a notice and invite the strange people in the city to work together, and maybe you can find the eyebrows. ”

Zhao Mantian closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said, "This matter is handed over to you, if others have suitable candidates, they can also recommend them." As long as it can solve Xueyan's problem, the price is easy to say. ”

Everyone responded and retreated.

After a long time, Zhao Mantian opened his eyes, his eyes revealed great pain, and he sighed deeply. At this moment, he still has the majesty of the city lord on weekdays, but he is just a father who is deeply worried about his daughter.

"How can this be," Zhao Mantian's brows seemed to be twisted together, "Xueyan, if you really can't find a way, my father can only get rid of him ruthlessly, even if you won't forgive me, I can't watch you die......"

......

"Urgent?"

"I'm still investigating," Xiao Shuo said, "I only know that City Lord Zhao suddenly urgently summoned all the officials of Wangsha City, and the specific reason has not yet been revealed." But I guess I'm going to have to serve the main course. ”

"Well..."Zhang Qiyue pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of time, it is very likely. We need to get ready. ”

Xiao Shuo said strangely: "What else do you need to prepare? Didn't you keep saying that everything is ready, just wait for the show to start?"

Zhang Qiyue snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Idiot, of course you are going to eat a big meal, do you want to go to the battlefield hungry?"

Xiao Shuo said with a humble eye: "It's too boring for the two of us to eat, do you want to find Zhou Nuannuan to accompany you for the wine?"

Zhang Qiyue was furious: "You are deliberate, you don't want to eat and pull down, you can just gnaw on the chicken bones in a while." ”

Xiao Shuo was unconvinced: "Eat! Why don't you eat! Not only do I want to eat you hard, but I also have to pack more than a dozen flower chickens to take away!"

Zhang Qiyue sneered, and was about to continue to refute, when a shout came from the door: "Zhang Gongzi!" It was Master Ding who came in a hurry.

Master Ding walked to the counter, wiped the fine sweat on his face, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you didn't go out today, otherwise I would have to find it for a while." ”

Xiao Shuo and Zhang Qiyue glanced at each other, and Zhang Qiyue asked, "May I ask Master, why are you here?"

"Something strange happened in the city lord's mansion, and the officials in the palace were helpless, and the city lord has announced to the whole city and invited capable people to help. I think Zhang Gongzi is knowledgeable and may have a way to solve it. ”

"Dare to ask what's going on?"

"This..."Master Ding hesitated for a moment and said, "To put it simply, it is haunted. ”
