When she woke up again, Xi Jingyao was already lying on a warm bed.

She tried hard to open her eyes, but there was still a fog in front of her.

In this fog, Xi Jingyao tried hard to open her eyes and find everything, and finally saw a familiar figure-

"You're awake." His voice was so calm, so gentle, all the time.

"Lin Xi ......" Lin Xi turned her back to her, she subconsciously felt that Lin Xi would leave her, stretched out her helpless hands, and held Lin Xi tightly.

"I'm not leaving." Lin Xi grabbed Xi Jingyao's soft hand and comforted quietly.

A little tingling on her cheeks made Xi Jingyao quickly understand the scar on her face, and she was about to cry out aggrievedly.

"Lin Xi, my face ......" Xi Jingyao touched her stinging cheek lightly, crying to Lin Xi aggrievedly, like a child breaking his beloved toy.

Lin Xi turned around, and there was a scar on half of his cheek, "It's okay, the scar, I also have ......"

Xi Jingyao laughed out loud, she thought it was Lin Xi painting to comfort her.

"You...... It's very good, it's like a real ......" Xi Jingyao reached out and touched the wound, and Lin Xi immediately hissed in pain.

Xi Jingyao's smile froze on her face, and she said in surprise: "I'm sorry, it's true...... It hurts you......"

Lin Xi smiled indifferently: "It's okay, our skin is hard, it doesn't hurt!" But you, you can't touch the wound these days. ”

"I ...... I know. Xi Jingyao nodded honestly and agreed.

Xi Jingyao looked at the bandages wrapped around her body and asked softly, "When I was unconscious, were you taking care of me?" ”

Lin Xi's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Hmm... Sort of. ”

Xi Jingyao's cheeks flushed, "That... Did you bandage the wound for me? ”

Lin Xi looked at her blushing face and giggled, "You think you're being looked down on by me?" Of course I didn't bandage it—"

Xi Jingyao blushed and teased: "Look at the old girls around you, eighty percent are also perverts, what if?" ”

"How is it only eighty percent? You think very highly of me. Lin Xi said with a smile.

Xi Jingyao suddenly wondered: "Hey, where is this?" ”

"This is the Han family, Han Shirang's home."

It turned out that Xi Jingyao had been dizzy for three days, and Lin Xi didn't want to go to the state capital to live, after all, Lin Xi was not from the official mansion, and it was always inconvenient to live there; He carried Han Shirang's body on his back and came to the Han Mansion - there were only Han Shirang's son Han Xiao and the subordinates who could count on one hand.

Han Shirang is not a small official in Shandong, and it was a bit unexpected for Lin Xi to have such an empty house.

Lin Xi explained the ins and outs of the matter to Han Xiao, but Han Xiao only had a momentary accident, and was more sad;

After all, if you are a fast catcher, no one knows which criminal will be caught on which day will kill you; Han Xiao, as the son of Han Shirang, was influenced by his father and became a catcher, so he naturally knew what to expect.

Seeing that Lin Xi was seriously injured, Han Xiao did not forget to bring his father's body back, and in order to express his gratitude, he let the group live in the mansion with peace of mind.

Lin Xi was not polite, after all, he was also injured a lot, and he came here for this.

"Huh? You're hurt? Where? You okay? Xi Jingyao's face changed, and she was worried.

Lin Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and the injury will heal quickly." ”

Xi Jingyao bared her teeth: "Bragging, I don't believe it, unless... Let me see! ”

"Oh, what are you doing!" Lin Xi tugged on his robe, reached out and patted the back of Xi Jingyao's hand: "You also said that I am a pervert, I think you look like a pervert!" ”

"Hee-hee, make you happy."

Lin Xi habitually reached out and wanted to touch her face, but when she reached over, she suddenly thought that her face was injured, and secondly, it didn't seem appropriate for Lin Xi to touch her face; But her hands were stretched out, and she couldn't take them back in embarrassment, so she had to tap her head.

"By the way, I'm asking you something serious—"

"You... You ask. ”

"You recall, that night, who else ambushed you and Han Shirang except Tang Zhen and Tang Liu?"

Xi Jingyao immediately replied: "There are more than a dozen swordsmen coming!" Those people besieged the two of us together with Tang Zhen and Tang Liu, and after killing Lord Han, they retreated! ”

"Withdrawn?"

Xi Jingyao nodded: "It seems that their purpose is to kill Lord Han, and Tang Liu has to stay, she wants to kill me, Tang Zhen can't resist her, so she stays, I heard them quarrel!" ”

Lin Xi understood, he sneered and said, "Tang Liu, this girl is a little crazy and perverted. ”

Xi Jingyao chirped: "Oh, didn't you see that this crazy woman was so majestic when she beat me......"

Lin Xi smiled: "Second Miss, if you were her and met an enemy, would you be like her?" ”

"You say I'm that crazy woman!" Xi Jingyao bared her teeth fiercely and said, "Besides, how can Tang Zhen compare with you......"

Lin Xi smiled awkwardly: "Why can't you compare with me?" The two of us are no different. ”

Lin Xi is very modest. In fact, Tang Zhen is already far from him.

"You'll protect me, won't you?" Shui Lingling's big eyes blinked, which couldn't help but make Lin Xi a little tempted; But this sentence inevitably reminded Lin Xi of some old people and stories in the past.

This sentence is extremely familiar to his ears.

Xi Jingyao is also a smart girl in ice and snow, she saw the loneliness and frustration in Lin Xi's eyes, and immediately guessed that Lin Xi was thinking of a friend who died because of him.

"Yes... I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to remind you of something sad......"

Lin Xi shook his head and put away the tears in his eyes: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I thought of it myself." ”

Lin Xi took out a piece of red silk from his sleeve, "You recall, at that time, at the scene, did anyone wear this kind of red clothes." ”

"It's like... The leader of those swordsmen is wearing red clothes! ”

"Are you sure?"

Xi Jingyao frowned: "Uh... It was too dark, I just saw a figure in red, was it the leader... I didn't notice ...... myself."

Lin Xi couldn't think about it, and put the fragments of the bloody clothes back into his sleeves.

"Alright, you can get some rest."

Xi Jingyao sat on the bed and said lightly: "No, I've been lying down for three days, and I want to go down to the ground to do activities." ”

Lin Xi thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed to her: "Then let it be, but--you still have to be careful, you can't use force, otherwise the wound will crack, especially not ...... sword."

"Oh, okay, okay......" Xi Jingyao happily got out of bed, and pushed Lin Xi out of the house with a smile: "I know all this!" Go get down to business! ”

"What are you doing? If you get better, you don't want to listen to me? You're really a white-eyed wolf—" Lin Xi said with a smile.

"Oh, there's no thing-" Xi Jingyao pushed Lin Xi outside the house, leaned over to Lin Xi's ear and bit her ear: "Thank you." ”

"Be louder, you can't hear it." Lin Xi also simply played a little temper.

Xi Jing Yaoqiao's face was flushed.

"Thank you—" Xi Jingyao coughed lightly twice and raised her voice.

"That's right, thank you has to be sincere, right... I'm leaving! ”

Lin Xi didn't delay much, after all, the business was not over, and he still had responsibilities on him.

In the wind, there is still the faint fragrance of the green silk of the sunset, and the faint light of the eyes that are as bright as the morning star.

In Xi Jingyao's stupid gaze, Lin Xi quietly walked away.

The Han Mansion was in a remote corner of Jinan City, and Lin Xi walked around the market for a long time before he came to the gate of the mansion.

He came to Zhao Zhenyan for nothing else, after all, he heard the conflict between Zhao Zhenyan and Han Shirang with his own ears, and he also felt quite strange about Zhao Zhenyan's attitude.

Lin Xi came to the door of the main hall, but two strange people blocked the way.

The sky was clear, but the two of them were wearing a hat, their heads were lowered, their faces were completely covered by the hat, and only one of them was extremely thin and the other was extremely strong, and the thin man had a long knife pinned to his waist, and the arms of the strong man were covered with iron chains.

The hats of the two moved, and it was obvious that they had also seen Lin Xi.

Lin Xi said: "I'm here to find Lord Zhao. ”

Lin Xi couldn't see the faces of the two, he could only see their hats raised, the two seemed to look at each other, and then immediately made way and pushed the door open.

There are two people in the hall, one of whom is Zhao Zhenyan;

The other person, Lin Xi, didn't know, it was a man who looked like a literati, with an elegant appearance, a righteous face, and a long beard under his chin and chest, which was quite dignified.

"Brother Zhao, who is this?" Before Zhao Zhenyan could speak, the man opened his mouth first, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Zhao Zhenyan hadn't seen Lin Xi either, and he shook his head strangely: "I don't know, but... Those who can enter the state government must have something important to do. ”

Then he shouted at Lin Xi at the door: "This brother, why are you here?" ”

Lin Xi took out Han Shirang's token and walked over slowly: "I'm here to find you, Lord Zhao." ”

Lin Xi walked in front of the two of them and arched his hand, Zhao Zhenyan's expression was a little surprised, but the man replied to Lin Xi.

Zhao Zhenyan asked, "Lord Han's token?" Are you Han-sama's subordinate? ”

Lin Xi shook his head, "Hmm... No, we're friends. ”

The man stroked his long beard and thought, "Oh? But I see that your age is less than half of Lao Han's, are you forgetful friends? ”

"A friend is a friend, it has nothing to do with age."

The man laughed and said, "Reasonable, reasonable!" Meet me, my name is Fang Zhenghuang. ”

"Who are you?" Lin Xi was a little surprised, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Junior Lin Xi, I have seen Master Fang." ”

"Hello, Lin Xi - I've heard a great name for a long time!" When Fang Zhenghuang heard Lin Xi's name, he was a little surprised at first, and then stretched out a hand, and Lin Xi also shook hands with him.

"It's weird, you know my name."

Fang Zhenghuang laughed and said: "The fire in Tanting Town has burned for three days and two nights, and it is difficult for people not to know!" Your name is the first I knew! ”
