In the county office, the county order and Nan Xiutong sat face to face, and the county order looked like he was several years old, and his face was full of sadness. Nan Xiutong looked at the county order worriedly: "My lord has something to say, I'll listen." ”

"Xiao Nan, this matter is not simple, I can't stop it, the bell must be tied to the bell, why don't you go and talk to Prince Maya, let him dispel the matter of reporting to the imperial city." The prefectural commander sighed.

"My lord, he looks down on me and hates me, and I said to him that wouldn't he play the piano to the cow?"

"Do you want Wu County to change the county order? Do you hope that you will lose your head-catching hat and even be unable to enter the court as an official in this life? ”

Nan Xiutong frowned: "My lord, is this matter so serious?" I didn't raise monsters, and Ling Nai didn't hurt anyone, it was Prince Maya who was intensifying the conflict. ”

"A lot of people believe whoever they say first, you want to explain, does anyone listen to you? You're not Miss Su, you don't have that much ability to shut everyone up, we can only solve it in a roundabout way. I know that you are straightforward and admit death, but take a step back and don't reason with unreasonable people. ”

"What should I tell him if you asked me to talk to Prince Maya, and you told me to be unreasonable?"

"You apologize to him for stealing the child, and don't mention anything else, you have a better attitude, suggesting that he try not to make a big deal about the monster. This may not work, but it's better than doing nothing. ”

Nan Xiutong thought for a while: "My lord, why don't we explain things to the imperial city one step ahead of Prince Maya." ”

"I will repair a letter and send it to the imperial city, just in case, you don't leave Prince Maya behind, he will leave Wu County tomorrow, you go and give it a try, if it doesn't work, you will come back."

After hesitating for a long time, Nan Xiutong caught a glimpse of the county order's gray sideburns and responded.

*

Autumn Garden Inn.

"What, she Nan Xiutong is willing to apologize?" Prince Maya, who had just put on his robe, turned his head and asked his attendant with a strange expression.

The squire promised: "The people are already on their way, what is the prince going to do?" ”

"She's a girl's house, what can I do with her? Let the guards come over, lest she do anything to me without saying a word, and when she comes, you will take her." ”

The squire nodded, and was about to leave, when the prince stopped him: "Wait, remember to put away her knife." ”

Nan Xiutong stood outside the inn, dressed in a navy blue official uniform, wearing a pipe hat, holding the long knife at his waist, hesitating.

The attendant stood on the stairs and straightened his waist: "Nan Zhutou put down the knife and come with me." ”

"The knife is the life of the head catcher, and it can't be easily put down."

"In that case, please go back to the south catcher, our prince will return to Maya tonight." The squire was on his toes.

Nan Xiutong touched the scabbard, was silent for a long time, and handed it over: "Please keep it for you." ”

The door of Tianzi No. 1 room was wide open, and two guards stood at the door, holding their swords in their hands, Nan Xiutong glanced at their swords and walked in unhurriedly.

Hot tea and snacks were placed on the table, and the prince sat at the table to eat snacks without raising his head: "Since you are here, sit down, you can say whatever you want, if I am satisfied, I will let you go, if I am not satisfied......" He looked up and smiled at Nan Xiutong, with a deep meaning.

Nan Xiutong did not sit down, but stood opposite him: "Prince Maya, the responsibility for stealing the child lies with me, I didn't personally send the thief back to the yamen and let him run away, I destroyed the thief's throat because of selfishness, it was my fault for pretending to be a public beneficiary, I apologize to you." ”

"Look at your unconvinced look, are you reluctant?"

"As a head catcher, you have to take care of the overall situation, and I am here today to make up for the mistakes I made."

The prince threw the husk in his hand on the table and patted the dregs on his hands: "I understand, you are worried that if I tell the emperor about this, you will be investigated by your resignation." ”

The door was taken up, and a few guards came out of the room, holding a sword to surround Nan Xiutong, who took a long breath: "What do you want?" ”

"I'm not satisfied with your apology, I'll give you two more chances, if it still doesn't satisfy me......" The prince laughed.

"Have you forgotten that there are demons in Wu County?"

The prince's smile disappeared: "You are threatening me? The guard pointed his sword at Nan Xiutong.

"Do you know what the crime of assassinating an official is, according to the law of my dynasty?"

"Who's going to assassinate the officials?" The prince didn't care, "Now that the demons in Wuxian County are rampant, everyone knows that they have their own conclusions about whether people killed you or demons killed you." ”

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Nan Xiutong touched his waist with his hand and pulled out a two-foot-long thin whip: "Wuxian is not a place where you can do anything wrong!" ”

Several guards forced each other with swords, forcing Nanxiu Tongjie to retreat, she retreated to the window, knocked her elbow against the window, jumped over, half of her body just poked out, and was grabbed back by the guards covering her mouth.

The guard leaned out and closed the window, and met a few pairs of tangled eyes, but he didn't care, and closed the window hard.

In the alley, Splashy lifted his pants, tied his belt, kicked the hay next to him with his foot to block the water stains, and looked up to see the two little brothers who should have been watching the wind staring blankly at the closed window above their heads, and slapped it.

"What are the dog things looking at!"

The little brother howled and covered his head: "Brother Mouse, we saw Nan Catcher just now, as soon as she poked her head out, someone pulled her back and closed the window, I remember that this is the inn where Prince Maya lives, right?" ”

Splashy frowned and looked at the window.

The other little brother said dumbfoundedly: "Was the head of the southern catcher caught by Prince Maya?" Do you want to talk to Ling Nai? ”

The younger brother retaliated and knocked him on the head: "What do you tell Ling Nai, when Nan Xiutong is dead, Ling Nai will be able to leave Wu County, and we don't have to be afraid." ”

There was a complicated light in the little eyes: "If Nan Xiutong dies, Ling Nai will definitely avenge her." That guard saw us just now, what if Ling Nai knew that we would not be saved when we saw death and killed us, what do you say? ”

"What should I do?"

"It's better to sell him a personal favor, even if he doesn't understand the world, Nan Xiutong should also understand, a life can make the past write off, right?" After splashing the skin, he didn't give the little brother a chance to express his thoughts, "Let's go, go find Ling Nai!" ”

In the room, Nan Xiutong's body was covered in blood, holding a whip in his hand, Prince Maya sat cross-legged Erlang, and looked at her presumptuously: "It's been tossing for half an hour and it's still so energetic, it's quite tasty to look at like this, it's spicy enough." ”

"Ling Nai won't let you go." Nan Xiutong said coldly.

"You say, if I tell everyone that Ling Nai killed you, will they believe it?" The prince took the dagger handed over by the guard, and approached Nanxiutong step by step.

"Don't come here!" Nan Xiutong flung over with a whip and hit the air. Her steps were vain, her back to the corner, and there was nowhere to run.

"You're beautiful, it's a pity to die like this, it's better to let my subordinates ......"

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the two doors exploded directly, and the strong wind and sawdust blew so that the guards couldn't open their eyes, and the prince turned around and smashed a fist directly into his face.

The prince screamed, covered his eyes and shouted: "Someone, someone killed Nanxiutong!" ”

The guards gritted their teeth and rushed forward. Ling Nai turned around, with murderous aura in his red eyes, raised his hand and grabbed the guard's neck, and his nails grew out and penetrated the opponent's neck.

"Ling Nai ......" Nan Xiutong called out his name in pain, he watched the blood stain her clothes dark, his face pale as paper, and the eyes that looked at her were filled with comfort.

Ling Nai felt a surge of anger surging into his heart, and the bloodthirsty feeling made his throat stir, not the blood of Nan Xiutong, but the blood of this group of people who harmed her.

He stopped his waist and picked up Nan Xiutong, stepped on Prince Maya's abdomen, and crushed it with a cold face, the young man's immaturity faded, and only anger remained, and the prince howled in pain.

"Ling Nai, if he dies, he really can't tell......" Nan Xiutong grabbed his fingers, he held her hand, and there was a watery light in his eyes, "I'm sorry Anan, I'm late." ”
