Chu Yifan seemed to ask a sentence unintentionally, but it hit Zhuang Meiyan's heart like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. Chu Yifan spoke, looking at Zhuang Meiyan with a smile, his eyes were extremely deep, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Zhuang Meiyan did not avoid his gaze, smiled calmly, the hand hidden under the table secretly pinched the corner of his clothes, and said idly: "What jade? Oh, you mean that the jade pendant that Xiaobai lost is a heart-shaped jade pendant, and the style is very ordinary." Xiaobai has been hanging around his neck, thinking that this jade pendant has something to do with his life experience. This child is also pitiful, he has lost his memory, made him crazy, and has no one to rely on, after all, what can he do as a teenager is nothing more than to harm the fish in the pond, and there are all the eggs under the nest, if it is not for the great changes in the family, how can there be no relatives to find it?"

The words were very sincere, Zhuang Meiyan glanced at Chu Yifan, who lowered his head and fiddled with a snow-bright dagger in his hand. The dagger has a sharp edge and a cold glow, and the handle is intricately carved with patterns, and an opal the size of a finger is inlaid with a tempting color in the light of the pine torch.

"Miss Zhuang seems to like this dagger in her hand. Chu Yifan saw Zhuang Meiyan staring at his dagger, so he smiled and said: "This is a family heirloom, otherwise, I will give it to Miss Zhuang and keep it for self-defense." ”

Zhuang Meiyan was startled, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Chu can still go into battle to kill the enemy with such a sharp weapon, guard the border pass, and charm a girl's house, even if you keep it, it is useless, you can't prevent yourself, and it won't be a joke if you turn around and hurt yourself." ”

She pursed the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows were slightly curved, and the red mole on the right side of her face was hidden by the shadow under the firelight, and she felt a charming smile.

Chu Yifan glanced at her and smiled meaningfully.

"You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, Miss Zhuang walks in the mountains and forests all the year round, and has to guard against the evil wolves who are hiding in the dark and peeping at all times, today, aren't you just the one you encountered?"

What he said was also the truth, but the words seemed to be meaningful, and people were shocked to hear it, so that Zhuang Meiyan didn't know how to answer. Xiaobai didn't know the depth, looked at her with a smile, and urged again and again: "Lady, steamed buns, delicious!

Zhuang Meiyan was frightened, she didn't have much appetite, but now she heard Chu Yifan say a lot of piercing words, and her heart was even more troubled, she pinched half a piece of steamed bun in her hand, and choked in her throat after eating a few bites, and she couldn't swallow it. Xiaobai was enthusiastic, so she smiled and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Xiaobai said "um", reached out to take the steamed bun, and as soon as his hand was placed on the steamed bun, a cold wind swept by, and there was a sound of "pop!".

Zhuang Meiyan was startled, but it was Chu Yifan's shiny dagger, the population was really sharp, nearly half of it was inserted on the wooden table, and it was only an inch away from Xiaobai's palm, which was really dangerous. Xiao Bai showed the stupid boldness of a fool, and curiously touched the cat's eyes on the dagger, obviously very fond of this shiny gem.

Chu Yifan's arm probed slightly, and he retrieved the dagger, and on the tip of the knife was a scorpion that had lost his breath. Zhuang Meiyan's heart relaxed slightly, only to feel that her back was slightly cold, and she was unconsciously oozing cold sweat, stinging and itchy.

"He's not afraid!" Chu Yifan casually inserted the dagger back into the scabbard.

Zhuang Meiyan said: "If he knows that he is afraid, it will be okay - he will not be a fool!"

Chu Yifan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly looked up at the outside of the house in shock, his handsome face showing a solemn expression. Zhuang Meiyan felt a little uneasy, leaned over and looked outside the house a few times, only to feel that there seemed to be some figures running around outside the door, with chaotic footsteps, and some shouts faintly.

A soldier burst into the house in a panic, gasped for breath, half-knelt and saluted, clenched his fists and said, "Your Excellency, the enemy is coming!"

Zhuang Meiyan looked at Chu Yifan at a loss, the latter's facial muscles jumped imperceptibly, his complexion quickly returned to normal, and he said indifferently: "The troops are gathered, the archers are on the platform, is it Wuyang's Northern Barbarians?"

While talking, the man had already walked to the door. The soldier stood behind him and followed closely, and the soldier suddenly asked, "Lord Commander, I can't see how many people are coming in the dark, the archers have already shot a row of arrows, and the opponent is attacking fiercely, I'm afraid ...... Commander, do you want to light a beacon fire?"

Chu Yifan suddenly froze, and the soldier behind him couldn't regain momentum and almost hit his back. The soldier seemed to know that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and his black and red face turned the color of a pig's liver, and the Commander's sharp eyes pierced his chest like arrows, making him feel transparent.

"As long as there is still one person in Xiyanggang, it is not time to light the beacon fire. ”

The voice was not high, and the momentum was as sharp as an unsheathed sword, and there was no room for maneuver.

The soldier couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and said solemnly: "My subordinates are willing to follow the commander and swear to guard the sentry to the death." ”

"Defend the sentry to the death!" a neat pair of men and horses gathered outside the door and roared in unison.

Chu Yifan's solemn expression was slightly relaxed, his eyes revealed a little ruthlessness, and he roared loudly: "Okay! Then my knife comes! Stand up ten people, go out with me to kill! Let those Wuyang barbarians know that in terms of ruthlessness, our unparalleled men will not lose to them at all." After the battle, I asked Miss Zhuang to invite the big guys to drink the newly brewed wine from the old shop of the Xi family, and if they killed the most, they would be rewarded with a jar of 'Hundred Flowers Brew'. ”

The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Seeing that the morale was high, Chu Yifan lowered his head and told a team leader a few words, and at the same time glanced back at Zhuang Meiyan, turned over his horse, and led the men and horses to kill them.

Zhuang Meiyan looked at the fire in the courtyard, I don't know how many torches were lit, listening to the shouts outside the wall, she couldn't help but be frightened, she had never experienced this kind of murderous scene, although she was not immersed, but she also knew that the crisis at this time was only 10,000 times more dangerous than encountering a wolf in the forest.

She was uneasy, fidgeting in the house, wanting to look in the yard, and as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by a soldier who was guarding the door. The man said expressionlessly, "The Commander has an order, for your safety, you two are not allowed to leave this room." ”

Zhuang Meiyan frowned secretly, this is called protection, but in fact it is imprisonment, just now Chu Yifan has something to say, I don't know what he means.

Zhuang Meiyan was reluctant to reveal Xiaobai's identity, because she was worried that if Chu Yifan knew that Xiaobai was from Wuyang Kingdom, would it cause any misunderstanding? After all, it was a person from two countries, and if he misunderstood that Xiaobai was a spy, he would be speechless.

She didn't think she had revealed any flaws, why did Chu Yifan take such a heavy precaution against them?

Zhuang Meiyan was puzzled, so she had to go back to the house.
