842.Chapter 842 - A Fourth Path?
Liu Qinghan glanced at us calmly, took a step back, and slowly turned sideways.
My eyes widened in horror, and I saw that on his bed, the quilt was arched high and a bag was raised, and there was also a blanket on the couch next to it, most of which fell to the ground.
I just felt my breath stop, and I saw the quilt that was arched high squirm, and slowly, a chicken coop like a head came out of it. I saw Li'er sitting cross-legged in the quilt, rubbing her eyes with one hand, confused: "Third uncle, what's the matter, it's so noisy......"
Leave! She's fine!
I suddenly fell a big stone in my heart, and hurriedly walked over and hugged her: "Li'er!" ”
She hadn't woken up yet, and was suddenly held in my arms, a little unexplained, and was stunned for a long time before she said softly: "Mother, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
It's okay, it's okay!
I almost thankfully thought in my heart, looked down at her little face that was flushed with sleep, and only felt that the panic just now was swept away in an instant, so I smiled: "It's okay, my mother just came to see you." Did you sleep well? ”
"Hmm......" she thought for a while, "I'm asleep, I haven't finished the story that the third uncle just told me." ”
"What's the story?"
“…… Forgot. ”
I couldn't help but smile, and when I looked back, I saw two men standing at the door looking at us, both of them were dressed in white, both with long hair and shawls, but Pei Yuanxiu smiled gently, but Liu Qinghan's face seemed to be a little chilly because of the mask.
He looked at us again, turned and walked out.
Li'er seemed to react to something at this time, and said to me: "Mother, is something wrong?" ”
"It's fine." I gently stroked her hair: "You continue to sleep, my mother is here to guard you." ”
"What about the third uncle?"
"He'll be back in a moment."
She blinked her eyes, as if she was still a little confused, but she was really sleepy, "um" and retracted into the quilt, I carefully covered her with the quilt, and gave Pei Yuanxiu a look, he nodded and withdrew to close the door, and the room was quiet again, and only some small voices could be heard outside, but it couldn't disturb the girl, and she fell asleep peacefully after a while.
I kept her watching, and even though it was a false alarm, the thought of any danger approaching and hurting her still made my heart skip a beat.
After a long time, there was still calm in the inn, and after making sure that the thieves should not go and return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously got off the couch. As soon as he stood up, he saw the blanket that had half fallen to the ground, leaned over to pick it up and put it back on, and then walked to the door. As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw two attendants outside the door, and when they saw me coming out, they all cautiously saluted me: "Madam." ”
I whispered, "Protect Miss Li." ”
"Yes."
At this time, the lights in all parts of the inn have been lit, illuminating the place clearly, and I can clearly see the scene in the lobby downstairs, which is simply miserable, the table overturned the chairs and the broken dishes and vases on the ground. There were already a few people chasing out, and Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanxiu were standing on the side, looking at the big hole that was smashed out of the window.
I went downstairs, saw the mess in the lobby, and walked slowly over.
Pei Yuanxiu looked back at me and said, "How is Li'er?" ”
"Sleep, she doesn't know what's going on yet."
"Well, don't worry."
He nodded, reached out and took my hand and pulled me over, my clothes were barely neat, but I got up in the middle of the night, and I was frightened like that just now, my hands and feet were cold, but his palms were very warm, and I didn't feel so cold.
Liu Qinghan kept looking at the big hole in the window, and it wasn't until I walked up to Pei Yuanxiu that he seemed to react and looked back at me.
This glance is a little long.
However, before I could react, he turned around again and continued to look at the large hole in the wall.
The moonlight shone in, shining on the half of the mask on his face, shining with a faint cold cold light, almost blending with his cold gaze. I couldn't understand why his attitude had changed so much before and after, and I was still wondering, when I suddenly thought of something, and my heart chuckled.
Just now, I called him - Light Cold!
Because I was worried about leaving, I called him by his name.
After he lost his memory, his relationship with me has been up and down, there have been bad and there have been eased, but that little alienation has always existed between us, making him believe that I have not gone one step deeper in my relationship with him, but just called in a hurry...... I don't know if he would suspect anything.
For a moment, my heart, which had been a little more relaxed, was pinched again.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also walked over, looked out the window, it was silent outside, and it was almost impossible to see anything in the dark street, so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained. Pei Yuanxiu looked at it and said casually: "Didn't Lord Liu hear such a loud voice outside just now?" ”
"I hear you."
"Then why didn't Lord Liu move until we came to call the door?"
"Li'er is by my side, and the house is worried that opening the door will attract thieves over, so I didn't move." As he spoke, he glanced at me, turned his head to look at the hole, and said, "Li'er is not scared." ”
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that he was asking me, and coughed lightly: "It's okay." She slept soundly. ”
"Oh."
For the rest of the day, no one spoke, and the inn was quiet, except for a few barking dogs from outside, which made it seem more and more strange in the sudden silence of the night.
After a while, the pursuers returned.
Wen Fengxi has been guarding the lobby, and as soon as those people come back, they will go to him to report back, and after listening to their low words for a while, he turned around and walked towards us.
Liu Qinghan said: "What's the matter? ”
"Someone sneaked into the inn late at night and was bumped into by our people."
"Who? How many people are there? ”
"There's only one coming in, but it looks like there's an answer outside, but I don't know which one."
"Did you catch it?"
Wen Fengxi shook his head.
Liu Qinghan's eyebrows frowned, and the center of his eyebrows folded into a Sichuan character.
Wen Fengxi turned to look at us and said, "Most of the people who came over with Pei Gongzi today should be from the Yan family, right?" ”
Pei Yuanxiu nodded: "Yes." ”
After that, all four of us fell silent.
It can't be from Jiangnan, after all, Pei Yuanxiu and Li'er and I are all in this inn; Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi are naturally impossible, because it is their people who bump into the thieves; If it is said that Xichuan's people do it, their own people have already followed Pei Yuanxiu, not to mention that they will enter Chengdu tomorrow, it can be said that life and death are all in one thought, there is no need to sneakily do this in the middle of the night.
In other words, in addition to us, in addition to Liu Qinghan, in addition to Xichuan, there is also a fourth way?
They sneaked into the inn, were bumped into by our men, and fled in a hurry.
What is their purpose?
Why did we sneak into the inn where we stayed, for whom, or for what?
Pei Yuanxiu looked back at the mess in the lobby, as well as the guards who were already waiting solemnly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Just now, General Wen's people fought with thieves?" ”
"Yes."
"Is anyone hurt?"
Wen Fengxi frowned slightly: "No." ”
A few of us glanced at each other, and Wen Fengxi had already turned to the guards and said, "When you started with the thief, did you find that he had a weapon?" ”
The people all shook their heads: "No." ”
In other words, they did not come in and commit murder.
Is it coming in?
I suddenly thought of something, stepped on the debris and sawdust on the ground and walked to the center of the lobby, looked towards the second floor, and saw that in every room above, except for me and Pei Yuanxiu, and Wen Fengxi's door was open, and the other doors were closed.
But there was a room with the door open.
It's the room I slept in before I left my son!
I didn't say anything, I ran upstairs, several of them also followed me upstairs, as soon as I walked to the door of the room, I pushed the door open, although there was no light inside, but with the light in the corridor, I still saw at a glance that someone had come in the house, before I left here with Li'er to find Liu Qinghan, I folded the quilt with my hand, but now, the quilt has been scattered on the ground.
Are they coming for Li'er?!
I just felt a cold sweat all over the body.
If Li'er's departure was just a false alarm before, then this time it is not.
A thief entered the inn, entered Li'er's room, and was bumped into by Wen Fengxi's people, and he also moved.
Even, those people still have answers outside the inn, this must not be an ordinary thief, but premeditated.
Although Li'er is fine now, but realizing that someone must covet her, that feeling still made me take a step back with some weakness, and was immediately supported by Pei Yuanxiu who was standing behind me, I turned my head to look at him, he looked at the room, didn't say anything, just stroked my arm: "Don't worry." ”
"Leaving the ......"
"You and Li'er sleep first, and we'll take care of some things."
“……”
Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi stood behind him, and they could also see the qiqi in the room clearly, and the two of them didn't say anything more, I walked up to Liu Qinghan and said softly: "Lord Liu, I'd better take Li'er back." ”
He nodded.
I followed him to his room, for the tense atmosphere outside, Li'er didn't know anything, slept on the bed with a big grin, seeing her like this, Liu Qinghan's face that had been calm also showed a faint smile, walked to the bed, he glanced at the couch, then bent down and hugged Li'er with the quilt.
A bloated lump, nested in the quilt, like a well-behaved kitten, greasy and shouted: "Third uncle......"
Liu Qinghan smiled, then raised his head and carefully handed Li'er into my arms.
I reached out and took my daughter, and he carefully lifted the quilt that was dragged underneath me until I was sent to the door, and I took two steps, and when I looked back, he had already turned and went downstairs.
