At the beginning of April, Gangnam County, Gangyue City, County Shoufu.

"Dad, Rou'er came in?"

A young woman's inquiring voice came from outside the door, interrupting the warden in the study, who was resting with his eyes closed.

After all, he has been the head of a county for several years, and the county keeper invisibly exudes the majesty that can be cultivated by people who have been in a high position for a long time.

The eyes are lightly opened, sharp and sharp.

Hearing his daughter's voice, the corner of the county guard's mouth couldn't help but smile, and in an instant, he completed the transformation from the county guard who dominated the power of life and death in a county to a kind old father.

Lord Gunden raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”

The young woman pushed the door in, looked at the county keeper with a smile, and asked, "I wonder what happened to my father looking for Rou'er?"

Lord County Shou looked at the naïve little girl in front of him who was full of tears and gradually grew into everyone's beautiful daughter, and couldn't help but sigh that the years were unforgiving, and joked: "What else can Dad do? Naturally, he found a good husband for Rou'er, and he called you here to ask for your opinion." ”

"Daddy!"

The young woman instantly lost her smile, frowned and said: "Rou'er is only twenty-eight years old, how can she find her husband's family so early! ”

For some reason, the appearance of the disciple yesterday appeared in his mind, and he suddenly shuddered in fright, shook his head, and tried to drive the disciple out of his mind.

The county keeper thought that his jokes had scared the little girl, and he smiled bitterly in distress.

Speaking of which, in today's era, when an ordinary woman reaches the age of twenty-eight, she should be looking for a husband's family.

Even if you don't get married for the time being, you should set the family affairs first.

It's just that the county keeper and his wife have been together for many years, and this is the only one daughter, so they are naturally very loved, and the little girl is reluctant to mention this matter, so the county keeper and his wife will put the marriage aside for the time being according to her wishes.

The father and daughter of the county guard are naturally Su Wenjing's father and daughter.

"Rou'er doesn't want to forget it. ”

Su Wenjing straightened his face, pointed to the empty carved wooden chair opposite, and said with a smile: "Sit down first, Dad has something to tell you." ”

Su Yurou blinked, Xu guessed some reasons, walked to the wooden chair in two steps, and sat quietly.

Su Wenjing opened his mouth and said, "I found out." ”

After all, he is a person with great power, and it is easy to find out a few petty people in his own mansion.

"Who is it?"

Su Yurou naturally knew that what her father said meant that someone had assassinated her the day before yesterday, and early this morning, there were a few fewer maids around her, and when she asked others, she didn't know what to say, so her father must have dealt with it.

Thinking of this, Su Yurou pursed her lips, not knowing what expression to make.

Most of those people are people who have followed them since they came to this Jiangyue City, and although they are called master and servants, they are actually sisters.

Why do you want to poison yourself!

After many years of relationship, can't it be worth that bit of copper smell? Su Yurou was puzzled.

Su Wenjing can understand her daughter's mood at the moment, and it is difficult for anyone to accept betrayal, and sighed: "The head of the red cuff, there are two maids, and a groom." ”

"Red Sleeves?"

Su Yurou's eyes flashed with sadness, the red sleeves were her personal maid, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the closest person besides her parents, and she couldn't figure out why she would sell herself for money anyway!

"The parents of the red sleeves were invited by Lord Liu. ”

Su Wenjing's subsequent words gave her a hint of comfort, it turned out that she was threatened.

Su Yurou knew who Lord Liu was that Su Wenjing was talking about, and with Su Wenjing as the head of a county, there were not many people who could make him call an adult.

Jiaozhou Mu Liu An is one of them.

There are many gates in Dongsheng, Su Wenjing is a civil official, and behind him is Zhuge Yu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and behind this Jiaozhou Mu is the brother of Emperor Dongsheng - Cao Guang, the king of Han.

Han King Cao Guang and Prime Minister Zhuge Yu have always had political disagreements, and it is common for them to fight openly and secretly.

Fortunately, Cao Dou, the king of Shu, stirred up the peace, and the two factions did not reach the time when the poor dagger met.

As for Dongsheng's other prince, the only king with a different surname, Pingxi Wang Guan Baisheng, who has been leading troops all the year round and guarding the border passes for Dongshengguo, he is unwilling to pay attention to these pickled things in the court.

In fact, Su Wenjing had long suspected that when he was appointed as the county guard of Jiangnan, those people who attacked and killed halfway were sent by Lord Liu of Jiaozhou, who was ordered by the King of Han.

It's just that no evidence has been found, and no evidence has been found.

After all, Su Yurou grew up in an official family, and some things have long been heard, and she can understand it at the moment, but in this kind of thing, as a woman, she wants to help her father but is powerless. At that moment, I had to ask with hope in my eyes, "What about the red-sleeved man?" I want to see her. ”

Su Wenjing shook his head and said, "No, when the guards in the palace found her today, she had been lying dead in the flower bed for a long time...... Poisoned to death. ”

Su Yurou, who was still calm and calm even in the face of betrayal, couldn't help but redden, and said in a trembling voice: "Dead? What about the others?"

Su Wenjing sighed: "They are all dead, and they have taken the same poison, obviously they have been prepared for a long time." ”

Su Yurou suddenly thought of something: "What about the parents of the red sleeves?"

Su Wenjing was stunned, and said expressionlessly: "How can those who fall into the hands of Lord Liu have a way to live." ”

Su Yurou lowered her head gloomily, and after a long time, she confessed and went back to the room first.

Looking at the back of his daughter's departure, Su Wenjing looked at the desk, and the big words "calmly" written under his mood disorder yesterday grew a breath of turbidity.

The most brilliant lie in the world is nine truths and one falsehood.

The plot is true, Lord Liu's assignment is true, the number of people is true, and the poison is true, but one thing is false - Red Sleeves is a dead soldier trained by Jiaozhou Mu Liu An since childhood, and his parents died early.

Yesterday, when Su Wenjing took the Red Sleeves and others into the prison for strict interrogation, he learned about it.

These people turned out to be dead soldiers who were trained by Liu An since childhood and used to carry out assassinations, starting from the red sleeves, and infiltrated the Su Mansion one after another, in order to one day take the power of life and death of Su Wenjing's family into their own hands.

However, Red Sleeves said before he died that Liu An had ordered Su Yurou to be removed, and he had reported Su Wenjing's hatred for not listening to the dispatch a few days ago, but when he was about to start, Xu is Red Sleeves thought of his friendship for many years, changed his mind, and would rather risk being found out, and only secretly ordered the groom to attack Hong'er, after all, Su Yurou did not enter the third grade, and fell from the running Hong'er, which inevitably caused serious injuries.

Red Sleeves didn't want to take her life.

In Su Wenjing's eyes, her daughter can't even hurt even a single hair, and there is no difference between falling and dying.

After asking, he gave each person a piece of poison, and refused Red Sleeves' request to see Su Yurou for the last time before he died.

Therefore, threatening the lives of the red-sleeved parents was just Su Wenjing's nonsense, just to appease her daughter's wounded heart, so naturally she didn't think of the whereabouts of the red-sleeved parents, but fortunately, she hid it.

Su Yurou, who returned to the room, sat on the embroidery bed and was stunned, she was not as stupid as Su Wenjing thought, and her father's momentary stunned spirit did not hide from her careful after all.

It is common for people in officialdom to be ruthless, and civilian officials are even worse than military attachés.

Su Yurou knew that the truth was a little different from what her father said, but it shouldn't be big.

also understood that his father wanted to comfort himself, so he cooperated and didn't ask any more questions.

In the empty room, there was no longer the chirping sound of the red sleeves in the past, but it seemed a little silent.

For no reason, the figure of the disciple appeared in my mind again.

Unexpectedly, I owed him another favor.

............

With Xu Zhaonan's cultivation, he naturally heard Su Yurou's whispering clearly, his eyes gradually softened, and he said in a good voice: "Miss Yurou, your life was not saved by me." It was Uncle Gu who saved you back then, not me. The last time I said it, it was just to thank you for that pot of wine, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Su Yurou bit her lip tightly and shook her head silently.

Xu Zhaonan had no choice but to persuade: "You haven't even entered the three grades, if Zuo Xuan chases after you, even if you are by your side, it will only increase the soul of the dead, Xiaobai is very fast, if I am alone, I may be able to escape, your Hong'er is not ...... enough"

Su Yurou said angrily: "Do you dislike my low skills and can't help you?!"

In fact, it is both, Xu Zhaonan said so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it bluntly.

Su Yurou proposed: "Why don't you ...... You and I ride together?"

Xu Zhaonan was frightened: "No!"

Su Yurou squinted her eyes and stared at him tightly.

The two fell into a stalemate again.

The spring breeze blowing from the northwest gradually became stronger, rustling the willow leaves on both sides of the official road.

It was a cloudless clear sky, but at some point, there was a dark cloud, shrouded over the heads of the two.

Xiao Bai craned his neck, sniffed the air, squinted at the scarlet wolf eyes, and let out a roar in his throat.

Xu Zhaonan felt Xiaobai's abnormality, and also shrugged his nose, smelling an unusual smell from the air, and his pupils shrank.

Silently turned over, took off the affection wrapped in the linen cloth behind his back, held it in his hand, and smiled at Su Yurou: "It's okay to ride together, Miss Yurou come up first." ”

Su Yurou didn't expect him to actually agree to his proposal, and suddenly it was a little difficult to ride a tiger, she didn't have Xiaobai's sensitive nose, and she didn't have Xu Zhaonan's cultivation as a high, so naturally she didn't notice anything abnormal.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yurou's expression was firm, she turned over and dismounted neatly, walked to Xiaobai with a red face, and looked at Xu Zhaonan not to be outdone.

"Ride on. ”

Xu Zhaonan was in no mood to speak at the moment, and said concisely.

Su Yurou did as she said.

Xiaobai turned his head to look at the strange woman on his back, and then looked at Xu Zhaonan suspiciously.

Xu Zhaonan stroked Xiaobai's head, and said solemnly at Su Yurou: "It's okay." ”

Su Yurou blinked, puzzled, "Why?"

Xu Zhaonan didn't explain, he stretched out his hand to press her on Xiaobai's back, Su Yurou involuntarily wrapped her arms around Xiaobai's neck, turned her face sideways to look at him, and her heart suddenly moved, as if she understood his intentions.

Time is pressing, and Zhao Nan is no longer allowed to elaborate, only to see him gently touching Xiaobai's hair, his eyes are full of reluctance, leaning down and sticking to Xiaobai's ear, and whispering: "Xiaobai, take her away, the sooner the better!"

After that, in the shocked eyes of Su Yurou, who reacted suddenly, he slapped his palm on the little white buttocks.
