Flower girl?! Isn't the flower girl of the Imperial Capital Yihong Courtyard the master and stepmother of the Ruiji sisters?

Murong Xue suddenly felt a little uneasy, and asked Shen Lie in disbelief, "Lord Shen, can you be sure?" The top card named Hua Niang is really Lao Jianhua's subordinate? ”

Shen Lie looked at Murong Xue strangely and nodded: "At that time, my master and his old man were already semi-retired, and I gradually took over the external operations, and the official affairs in the Reverse Scale Division were presided over by Lao Jianhua, the traitor. I don't really know about the eyeliner that he personally controls. However, Hua Niang can be sure that she is the person of the Reverse Scale Division, and this will never be wrong. ”

"But how did I hear that Hua Niang was beaten to death by the old bustard of the Qinglou," Murong Xue was a little puzzled: "It stands to reason that the secret agent of the Reverse Scale Division will not be ......"

Shen Lie said with a smile: "Undercover agents, unlike the officials who work in the yamen, they are in the middle of the three sects and nine streams, and any accident may happen, so what's so strange about being killed by the old bustard?" Besides, I'm afraid this kind of thing has been going on for more than ten years, where did you hear about it? ”

"Oh, it's also a friend who mentions it occasionally," Murong Xue prevaricated: "The name Hua Niang is very easy to remember, so I remembered it as soon as you said it." ”

Shen Lie smiled noncommittally: "It seems that your friend is either a frequent visitor to Fireworks Willow Lane, or an old friend of Hua Niang, otherwise how could he mention her for no reason." But I'm curious, you seem to care a lot about the identity of this flower girl, right? ”

Murong Xue waved her hand again and again: "That's not true, it's just that when I talk about it in a hurry, I'll just ask one more question." You know, what I care about is actually Lao Jianhua. ”

Shen Lie saw that he didn't want to delve into this issue, so he didn't talk about it anymore, and continued to analyze the relationship between the secret agent and the failure of the White Horse Temple.

Murong Xue listened to Shen Lie's words, her mouth was full of words, but she was already thinking about other things in her mind: since Hua Niang was an agent planted by Lao Jianhua in Yihong Courtyard, then Rui Ji said that after Hua Niang's tragic death, the court official who came forward to save the two sisters could be Lao Jianhua? Is there some unknown connection between him and Rui Ji Lianji?

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding filled his mind.

Of course, Murong Xue didn't dare to tell Shen Lie about Rui Ji easily at this time. First, this may just be his suspicion and false alarm, Lao Jianhua is not the benevolent father who saved Rui Ji at all, and there is no relationship between the two. Second, even if Lao Jianhua and Rui Ji know each other, it does not mean that Rui Ji must have a problem. Murong Xue was worried that after the ruthless Shen Lie learned the details, he would probably hurt the poor girl.

However, he felt that he shouldn't hide anything from Shen Lie. After all, they are now partners in the same camp, and if they don't report this suspicion in time, I am afraid that in the future, they will delay the big thing because of the mistake and omission of key information.

Just when Murong Xue's heart was entangled and heaven and man were fighting, a guard's shout suddenly sounded outside the window: "What person?!" ”

Immediately afterward, there was a great chaos in the yard.

In the deep night, a large number of black shadows suddenly flashed, coming from all directions towards the small courtyard; A few streets farther away also instantly became torches shining and people were buzzing.

Countless Xuanjia soldiers raised their weapons and blocked the nearby roads one by one.

A guard from the Scales Division broke through the door and said hurriedly, "My lord, the enemy is coming!" At least a thousand Xuanjia troops have surrounded us! ”

Murong Xue was taken aback when she heard this, and turned her eyes to look at Shen Lie.

Shen Lie, the head of the reverse scale, seemed very calm at this time, and said lightly: "Xiao Guo, you take a few brothers to cover General Murong to break through and return to his residence." The enemy's target is me, so it's up to me to distract them. ”

Without waiting for the guard Xiao Guo to speak, Murong Xue hurriedly said, "Then how can it be done?" If you want to go together, I will advance and retreat with you! ”

"There's no time to grind!" Shen Lie's eyes showed a cold light: "If Li Jiangyao is here, how can he be so indecisive as you?!" ”

After that, he jumped up from a high height, more than two feet high on the spot, and then tapped the wooden beam on his toes, and continued to rise with the help of his strength, and directly smashed through the roof tiles and came to the ridge.

As soon as his feet were steady, Shen Lie laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Lao Jianhua old thief, Shen is here, if you have the ability, come and arrest me!" ”

I only heard Shan Tingxian's voice ringing in the outer courtyard: "Shen Lie is on the roof, surround him for me, don't tell him to run!" ”

Shen Lie discerned the direction of the voice, and without saying much, he dodged the arrows that were hastily fired from all over the place, and then jumped all the way west along the eaves. The Xuanjia Army, which was deployed on the roof and was responsible for intercepting the way, was swept away by Shen Lie's lightning-fast fist in the blink of an eye, and a passage was opened.

As Shen Lie fled like a ghost, the entire net that rounded him up also moved westward. The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who participated in the battle were on high alert, their eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Lie's moving figure, and they constantly adjusted the level of arming and encirclement as planned.

All of a sudden, this place in Luoyi City fell into chaos.

Just as Shen Lie broke through the top and attracted the enemy's attention, the guard Xiao Guo didn't dare to delay in the slightest, grabbed Murong Xue, who was still in a daze, and rushed towards the back door.

Several of the guards of the Reverse Scale Division who entered the house later also followed Shen Lie's orders, hurriedly accelerated their sprint, rushed out of the back door in front of Xiao Guo and Murong Xue, and killed the Xuanjia Army that was already stationed here.

Although the Xuanjia Legion is a battle-hardened force, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary, in this kind of late-night narrow alley, they still seem a little caught off guard in the face of the secret agents of the Reverse Scale Division with high martial arts and ruthless methods.

The eight guards of the Anti-Scale Division rushed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they cut down more than a dozen Xuanjia Army soldiers, killing a bloody path, and then, without hesitation, they pounced on the Xuanjia Army on both sides, so as to drag the enemy and cover Murong Xue's breakthrough.

Xiao Guo waved his knife to open the way in front, Murong Xue followed, and the two of them ran all the way forward along the passage, passing through the house when they encountered the house, and broke out of the small courtyard surrounded by lightning as fast as lightning.

Since Shen Lie had successfully attracted a large number of masters, including Shan Tingxian, Murong Xue didn't have much pressure on their side. After breaking through the opponent's three lines of defense one after another, he and Xiao Guo shook off the pursuers with their foot strength, and soon turned to the street where their house was located.

At this moment, there was still a quiet place in front of Murong Xue's house, which was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle a few streets away. The three guards who were in charge of standing guard here before were still in place for this time. Seeing this, Murong Xue couldn't help but relax a little, and hurriedly instructed Xiao Guo to return to investigate the situation, and try to reinforce Shen Changshi, who was alone. He also deliberately explained that no matter what happened, he had to find a way to inform him in time.

The guard Xiao Guo was worried about the safety of Shen Lie and his brothers, and hurriedly agreed, and then hurriedly turned around and left.

-

Murong Xue pushed open the courtyard door and walked straight into the house, Rui Ji, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly got up, and greeted him to change his clothes while shouting and asking for warmth.

Looking at the girl who served her diligently, Murong Xue's heart seemed to have a thorn in her heart, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable and anxious.

On the one hand, he thoroughly understood Lao Jianhua's methods tonight. From the actions of the White Horse Temple to the siege just now, step by step, interlocking, unconsciously, Lao Jianhua weaved a net for him and the Reverse Scale Division, not only successfully pulling him Murong Xue into the valley bottom, but now also putting Shen Lie in it.

And Shen Lie's decisiveness when he left made Murong Xue feel even more discouraged.

Of course, he understood Shen Lie's intentions: at this critical moment, if Murong Xue was accidentally involved in the scuffle, it was entirely possible that he would be killed by Lao Jianhua or Shan Tingxian. Taking a step back, even if Murong Xue could get away with it, when the matter reached the crown prince Li Bing, he would still be unable to justify himself.

"Why did you secretly meet with the chief of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division during the suspension investigation?"

"What's the conspiracy between the two of you?"

"What does this matter have to do with the White Horse Temple case and the Nangong family?"

Murong Xue couldn't answer these troublesome questions one after another, but instead made the prince, who was already suspicious by nature, regard him as an undercover agent sent by the Reverse Scale Division to the East Palace.

It was precisely because of this that Shen Lie would make a decision on the spot, preferring to risk sacrificing himself and trying his best to protect Murong Xue. The current safety of the long history of the reverse scale has undoubtedly become the most worrying thing in Murong Xue's heart.

On the other hand, the girl in front of him who he loved deeply was also bothering his mind.

At present, it is already certain that Hua Niang is Lao Jianhua's person. So, will Rui Ji also be Lao Jianhua's person? Murong Xue was a little afraid to think about this seriously.

Emotionally speaking, he prefers to believe that the poor Ruiji sisters are just a cover that Hua Niang took over, and there is only a simple master-apprentice relationship between them. After all, at that time, Rui Ji Lianji was just a little girl and didn't understand anything.

But the question is, is it really as simple as he thinks?

How could it be so coincidental that a person who had an indirect connection with Lao Jianhua appeared by his side at this time?

Regarding this suspicion, Murong Xue herself couldn't convince herself, let alone find excuses like Providence.

He was silent, Mu Ran accepted Rui Ji's intimate service, and he didn't even realize that the other party handed the fragrant tea to him, and he only thought secretly in his heart: But what if Rui Ji is really innocent? Isn't it too hasty to judge her just by relying on the clue that Hua Niang has a broken thread, and regard her as Lao Jianhua's eyeliner? This girl has a genuine affection for herself, how can I hurt him so easily?
