Xu Yun wanted to place Liu Ling in the main room where he and Tian Xinyuan got married, but Liu Ling refused, and pointed out that he should return to the original cross-courtyard, wanting to get back his previous feelings.

Xu Yun saw that Liu Ling was too stubborn, so she obeyed her.

The west wing across the courtyard was suddenly lit up by bright candlelight.

Xu Yun put Liu Ling on the bed, covered it with a quilt, turned to Tian Xinyuan who came over and said, "It's getting late, you don't need to take care of her here, hurry up and go back to eat something." “

Tian Xinyuan pointed to Liu Ling on the bed: "Are you sure I don't have to stay here to help you?" ”

"No, let's go back."

"Oh!" Tian Xinyuan turned around three times and reluctantly left the hospital.

Xu Yun sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently stroked the messy hair on Liu Ling's forehead: "Don't be sad, don't we still have three days, maybe we can find the mastermind behind the scenes, and we can rescue your father immediately." ”

Liu Ling: "......"

Xu Yun was left out in the cold and still didn't want to leave: "By the way, you haven't eaten dinner yet, you should be hungry, I'll ask someone to bring you food immediately." ”

"I'm not hungry, you go back, I'm tired, I want to have a good rest."

Liu Ling's mood was not right, how could Xu Yun go back: "I'm not leaving, I have to accompany you tonight." ”

"Get out!" After a moment, Liu Ling sat up, his dark eyes almost bursting with fire.

Xu Yun was taken aback, looking at Liu Ling's frowning angry face, he quickly stood up: "I'll go, I'll go, don't be angry!"

I know you want to be alone and take a look at your messy thoughts, so that you can get to the crux of the case as soon as possible...... Shall I have someone bring the food? ”

"No, you don't! By the way, I heard that my father wrote a book of miscellaneous stories about officialdom, can you send someone to bring it, so that I can change my mood. Liu Ling fell on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

"Okay, I'll have someone send it right away." Xu Yun sighed lightly and closed the door gently.

……

When the fourth watch was uglier, the night was already deep, there was no starlight, no moon shadow, it was black, and half a step out of the door, I couldn't see the distance between the distances at all.

Fortunately, Xu Yun asked people to hang lanterns under the eaves of each house across the courtyard, and the candlelight flickered.

Liu Ling in the west wing, remembering that she was the third candle she had changed, she couldn't sleep at the mat, tossed and turned, simply sat up, raised her head and sighed.

Liu Ling's anxious heart couldn't help but glance at the door, and the person who had been waiting for a long time still didn't come.

Faintly, I heard the whirring wind outside, and thought, this is about to change, will it be a gentle drizzle next, or a storm that will pour down the sky?

Liu Ling suddenly felt a burst of sadness, his father was about to be beheaded in three days, and he was still helpless and couldn't do anything.

After a long time, a slight sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, coming from afar.

Liu Ling was in high spirits, his heart was beating faster, and he hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and put on his shoes.

She listened carefully to the footsteps, but there was no sound at the door.

The corners of Liu Ling's mouth twitched, and an unnoticed coldness hit his face.

She stood up, sat down beside the low desk, picked up the kettle with trembling hands, and poured two cups of tea, which had already been cold.

"It's dark and windy, standing outside, there is a lot of discomfort, it's better to push the door in, drink a cup of tea, and continue to maintain your elegant demeanor." Liu Ling said loudly towards the closed door.

There was no echo of Liu Ling's expectation outside.

Liu Ling was not impatient or impatient, and tried his best to suppress his unstable mood in his spare time.

After a while, the door of the west wing finally creaked open.

Slowly walked in a man with a hooded head and a face and dressed in night clothes, holding a dagger in his hand, and glaring at Liu Ling with fierce eyes.

Liu Ling was unusually calm for a while, and spread out a hand: "Lord Xu, this is your home, there shouldn't be any need for me to be humble, ah, you can sit at will." ”

Xu Ze stood for a moment and said, "It seems that you already knew that I would come?" ”

Liu Ling smiled coldly: "Of course, it's just that I'm not 100% sure, I can only have half hope...... Still, you didn't disappoint me, and finally couldn't help but come. ”

Xu Ze laughed, put the dagger in his hand into his waist, and removed the black scarf on his face, feeling still uncomfortable, he simply removed all the headscarves, and then sat opposite Liu Ling.

He picked up the tea that Liu Ling had already poured and took a sip, raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly bent down and spit it all on the ground: "The tea you prepared is too cold, I don't like it very much." ”

Liu Ling seemed to be smiling: "Lord Xu, you can't blame me, who let you follow too late, come early, the water in this cup will definitely be as you wish, warm and moderate, just drink it, isn't it Lord Xu?" ”

"That's right! Truth be told, this was the first time we had sat facing each other like this. ”

"Indeed!"

Xu Ze looked Liu Ling up and down with sharp eyes: "Come to think of it, in the evening, in my room, you deliberately revealed it, the purpose is to bring me over." ”

"Lord Xu thinks about it, I do have this thought, but I can't guarantee it, so I can only wait here alone for a long time...... The results are very encouraging. ”

Liu Ling glanced at Xu Ze: "Don't you know, if you don't say so, I will also come to you...... It's supposed to kill you. ”

Xu Ze's eyebrows raised slightly: "Not only do I know that you are keeping an eye on my whereabouts all the time, but you also want to kill me all the time to vent your anger, a jade pendant that you can't think of has been holding in my hand, no one will have such an impulse if you change it, it's not strange." ”

Xu Ze laughed: "You can understand people." Tell me, what is the purpose of your planning? ”

Liu Ling waved his hand: "What purpose can I have, isn't it just that I don't want people to easily hold my father's and my lives in the palm of my hand...... Why don't we do a business? ”

"Do you do business with me?" Xu Ze laughed coldly, "I really want to know what kind of business you want to do with me?" ”

The corners of Liu Ling's mouth twitched: "I will give you the jade pendant you want, but you must let me and my father go, our father and daughter can fly away, and they will definitely not interfere with the big things you want to accomplish." ”

Xu Ze's eyelids lowered slightly, and he adjusted the tilt of the cuffs with his hand: "If I say that I can let you go, will you believe it?" ”

Liu Ling shrugged his shoulders: "Of course I don't believe it, I will hand over the jade pendant to others, if I go to a place with my father that I think is safe, I can let the entrusted person secretly tell you the place of the jade pendant." ”

Xu Ze smiled with a cunning smile: "You are quite confident, you are not afraid that I will send someone to follow you, once the jade pendant is in your hands, the lives of your father and daughter will still be guaranteed." ”
