Yan Fei, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly walked in after hearing Ling Xiao's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Brother Yan came here today, do you have something to ask me?" Ling Xiao asked.

At this time, Yan Fei's face was a little pale, he looked behind Ling Xiao, and saw the embroidery on the embroidery frame, which was covered by the coarse cloth, although he couldn't see the thing, but when he thought of the words he heard with his own ears today, his heart hurt for no reason.

"It seems that I, Yan Fei, really overestimate myself. Yan Fei looked at Ling Xiao, who was close at hand, and said in a low voice.

"I don't know what Brother Yan is referring to, what is it?"

"---- Yan Fei swore in front of your whole family that day, and swore to the death to keep your whole family safe---- now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. Yan Fei laughed softly, "There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, when I Yan Fei boasted about Haikou that day, I never imagined that the Fan family would be so farmed today." ”

"Where has Fan Fu gone? I haven't seen him since I came back. Ling Xiao suddenly diverted the conversation.

"After you were called away by Mrs. Nahui, he went to Dali Temple, presumably to tell my eldest brother, what happened at home---- it seems that he did not see the eldest brother, otherwise he would have come back at this time. Yan Fei wondered why she didn't follow her words.

"Zhongli's victory has spread all over the capital, and the emperor's personal expedition is the icing on the cake---- logically speaking, this is the time when my Liang country is safe and rejoicing. Brother Yan, I don't know if you noticed it, but the capital at this time is even more disturbing. ”

"Sister-in-law, Yan Fei came to ---- today"

"General Cao Jingzong's army was stationed outside the city at this time, and the emperor did not do this when he drove the first few imperial expeditions, so ----the emperor must be worried about something. Ling Xiao didn't seem to hear Yan Fei's benefactor, but just preached there by himself.

"Sister-in-law, what does that royal matter have to do with us?" Yan Fei asked with a frown.

"Is there really none?" Ling Xiao asked rhetorically.

Yan Fei fell into deep pain, he didn't know how to get rid of the depression in his heart, the words he and Xiao Ni heard outside the window today shocked him, at this time he had too many questions to ask Ling Xiao, but when he really walked in front of her, he couldn't say a word.

Ling Xiao sighed imperceptibly, at this time she also had too many things to say to this righteous brother, but she didn't know where to start.

"Sister-in-law, do you know all these things that ---- talked about today, eldest brother ---- him?" Yan Fei finally asked.

Ling Xiao shook his head: "I hope he never knows." ”

"Let him misunderstand you and snub you?" Yan Fei asked suddenly.

Ling Xiao was stunned, she pondered for a while and asked, "Brother Yan, have you ever done something wrong, that kind of thing that has regrets but can never be made up?"

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. Ling Xiao sighed: "But I have, I have done a lot of things that I have missed, and there is only one thing that I regret the most, and now I can't make up for it----"

"Sister-in-law----"

"I regret that I didn't start a family and marry a daughter-in-law earlier. Ling Xiao's voice contained deep sadness, which made Yan Fei almost shed tears.

Yan Fei turned around suddenly, he didn't dare to look at the woman behind him anymore, he only began to seriously examine her from today, he had the urge to take her out of the capital before, but from today on, he knew that his thoughts were so ridiculous, he couldn't take her away at all---

"Brother Yan, let's go!" Ling Xiao said suddenly.

Yan Fei didn't believe what she had just heard, Ling Xiao actually wanted to let her leave, why did she say such a thing?

"You go---- go far away, leave the capital, leave us. Ling Xiao said sincerely.

When Yan Fei turned around, his face was already full of anger: "Sister-in-law, did Yan Fei do something wrong?

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because you are so good to our Fan family that I want you to leave." ”

Yan Fei pointed to the front hall with his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, look at how many people are still in the house? My eldest brother is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who could have been enslaved in a group, and there were more than ten servants in the family when he was in Qiaozhou, but when he arrived in the capital, there were only Xing'er and Fan Fu, and in the middle of the night, there was silence in this mansion, sister-in-law---- do you know the desolate feeling when I was patrolling the night? How can I bear to leave?"

"We can bear it, Brother Yan. I'm tolerable with everything, it's just that you really can't stay any longer ----. ”

"You already know Xiao Ni's identity, but you still have her by your side, why? And I have been following my eldest brother for more than 20 years, but you have asked me to leave him again and again, leaving ---- you, haven't I done enough for the Fan family?" Yan Fei asked loudly.

"It's because you've done so much that I want you to leave. ”

"Reason! Sister-in-law, you just need to give me a reason why I have to leave, and I can go!"

"Why do you have to have a reason? After you leave, you will be gone, and you will not be able to explain everything. ”

"My sister-in-law is the smartest person I've ever met, and even you can't find a reason for me to leave, so why should I leave?"

"----If you really want a reason, I can give it to you, but you must listen to me and leave the Fan family immediately, can you do it?" Ling Xiao said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay! as long as you give me a reason, I will naturally leave!" Yan Fei gritted his teeth and agreed to her.

"Protection, security!" Ling Xiao said these two words with difficulty.

"What?" Yan Fei asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that's the reason, preservation!" Ling Xiao nodded vigorously.

Yan Fei looked at Ling Xiao in front of him in confusion, he didn't understand why she told this reason, he didn't believe and didn't want to leave her, he didn't answer Ling Xiao, he still couldn't understand why Ling Xiao had to keep him away.

After Ling Xiao saw Yan Fei's eyes, she knew that this righteous brother was determined to stay, she could only sigh in her heart, and never persuaded him to leave until the day of parting, Yan Fei recalled this situation and this scene, and only then did she truly understand the true meaning of the word preservation.

His eyes suddenly widened, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword behind his back, pulling Ling Xiao behind him, Ling Xiao was caught off guard, did not stop his steps, and fell to the ground when he landed, and then the long sword that went straight to Ling Xiao's back, when it collided with Yan Fei's sword, it made a crisp sword sound----

In Mrs. Hui's outer house, the servants who had been hit in a coma and slept until the sun went down were only then awakened one after another.

Qingying, who had just woken up, was taken to Mrs. Hui's room by Yuwendu and ordered her to tell her what happened.

"Master, madam, just after noon, the slave maid went to the door according to Madame's instructions, Mrs. Fan arrived, and before she reached the door, she only saw a gray figure flashing, and before I could shout, he hit my acupoint, and I didn't know anything. Qingying replied tremblingly.

Yuwen heard it and asked: "Gray figure, can you see clearly whether he is a man or a woman?"

"Of course it's a man, he has gray hair, but it flashes before my eyes, and I really don't see anything else. Qingying replied in a low voice.

Yu Wendu's face changed slightly, and he was just about to open his mouth to continue asking, when a person asked from the door: "Are you sure he has gray hair?"

It was He Zheng who opened his mouth to ask, and both Mrs. Hui and Yuwen were taken aback when they saw him suddenly come here, and a trace of blush appeared on Mrs. Hui's pale face just now.

"Master, Mrs. Hui, the last general is on the order of the prince to come to investigate the scene of the murder. He Zheng said nonchalantly, and gave a salute casually, "I don't know where those people died?"

"I didn't expect that the prince actually invited General He, it's really a great honor, so General He will come with me to investigate the scene of the murder. Yuwendu's tone was also flat, but it reached He Zheng's ears, and he always felt a little strange after hearing it.

He Zheng was inconvenient to speak much in front of Mrs. Hui, so he followed the master to the wing, before he arrived in the room, He Zheng smelled a strong smell of blood, after he walked in, he lit the candlestick on the table, the corpses of the ten killers had all become stiff at this time, and the wounds on the neck, the blood stains had also become dark, He Zheng picked up the sharp sword placed on the corpse, the blood stains on the tip of the sword had dried, he carefully observed the wounds on these corpses, those wounds were almost on the neck, and the wounds were brought by the sword in his hand。

He Zheng was surprised by their way of death, no one could fight the enemy before they died, it can be said that they didn't even have the strength to fight back, so they were all cut by his sword.

"Master, I can conclude that these people were killed by that old man!" He Zheng said.

"I've only seen that person once, his martial arts are indeed unfathomable---- He Zheng, even if we know that he is a murderer, where can we find him?" Yuwen Du asked coldly.

As soon as He Zheng mentioned the gray-haired old man, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, he had fought with himself several times at this time, and every time he lost to his hands, he was furious when he thought of this person, and he hated to kill him immediately.

"This person's skills are very similar to one of my old acquaintances----" He Zheng stood up, "His martial arts and body are very similar to the red mole girl who defeated me back then, if my expectations are good, this person's real body is the red mole girl!"
