After a long time, Gu Ning just raised his head and blinked aggrievedly: "I was hurt because of you, not only are you not grateful to me, but you are also so cold."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Xie Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly, looking at the small scar on Gu Ning's cheek, even though he had the best patience, he couldn't help mocking at this time: "I think the subordinate came a step late, the wound on the county lord's face It will heal."

Gu Ning blinked his eyes, crystal tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and slid all the way to the snow-white skin under the skirt.

Xie Yan looked away and fixed his eyes on the complicated curtains without squinting.

However, Gu Ning leaned forward, wrapped his wrists with a pair of soft and boneless hands, and complained in a low voice: "It's not just my face that's hurt, my heart..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yan quickly withdrew his hand.

"Men and women don't know each other." He said coldly, "If the county magistrate is injured, his subordinates will find Imperial Physician Liu for you, and ask him to feel your pulse."

Gu Ning counted the pitifully low luck value, and another countermeasure was born in his mind.

She leaned on the bed, and instantly became weak again: "I just want to talk to you a few more words, you don't even know, the group of assassins today scared me to death."

Xie Yan looked down at her, his eyes were extremely deep.

With such a pair of eyes and such a handsome face, Gu Ning's heart fluttered for a moment.

But almost the next moment, Xie Yan's cold voice rang in her ear: "This is the person sent by the county lord, how could the county lord be surprised by the person he sent?"

"It's my subordinate..." He leaned over and looked at Gu Ning condescendingly, "I've been with the county lord for three months, and I've never noticed that the county lord is so scheming!"

All these incidents made the seed of doubt in his heart grow bigger and bigger.

Today's assassins are well-trained and seem to come for Gu Ning, but for half an hour, Gu Ning only has a wound on his face.

What is even more strange is that no one was killed or injured at the banquet.

Gu Ning exclaimed, and looked at Xie Yan uneasily: "This is all grandmother's order, how do you know?"

Xie Yan looked at her and smiled suddenly.

"I'm afraid the county master has forgotten." His tone was calm, but he did not allow Gu Ning to refute, "The eldest princess has never been kind to women. You have exposed too many flaws today, and the Yuan family may have already noticed it."

The woman in front of her was stunned, as if she was thinking about how to answer.

Suddenly, she curled her lips into a smile, and the sparkle in her beautiful eyes: "So what?"

"I was here to save you, as long as you're okay."

Xie Yan frowned, and was about to speak, but Gu Ning grabbed his neck.

She leaned against Xie Yan's side, and before Xie Yan could sternly reprimand her, she lightly pressed a kiss on Xie Yan's lips.

This kiss was long and soft, tossing and turning on Xie Yan's lips.

Xie Yan's heart was beating violently, and he forgot to think for a moment.

He unconsciously embraced the slender waist of the person in his arms with both hands, wishing to integrate it into his own flesh and blood.

The temperature in the room rose sharply, Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and his reason told him to push Gu Ning away, but his hands seemed to be tightly attached to Gu Ning's waist.

There was a loud "bang" outside the door.

Seeing Chunyu and Yue Rong who were stunned outside the door, Xie Yan's mind instantly returned.

Yue Rong watched his brave, calm, self-retained, arrogant and noble master tuck the county master into the quilt in a hurry, and walked out of the room with hands and feet.

His eyes followed Xie Yan all the time, and his eyeballs almost fell off.

"How...how could this be?"

As soon as Yue Rong said the words, he was pulled aside by Chunyu.

Seeing Chunyu who was obviously shocked but pretended to be calm, he angrily accused: "Your county head treats me..."

"The county magistrate is pleased to thank the guards." Chunyu said with a serious face, "You don't want to beat the mandarin ducks!"

Hearing this, Yue Rong looked at Chunyu resentfully: "You know that the road ahead for master will be very difficult, the county master is so pampered, destined not to be with master."

Chunyu snorted softly: "Who said you will walk side by side with your master?"

Yue Rong was shocked and puzzled, but Chunyu said coolly: "Which county lord do you see only marrying one person? Let's talk about Huaping County lord, she can raise a whole yard of faces. There are three of them!"

"You..." Yue Rong pointed at Chunyu, his lips trembling, "My master will never be the face of the county master!"

But after he finished speaking, he felt guilty again.

The glamorous scene in the room just now, no matter how you look at it...my master doesn't look like the one being bullied.

What if... what if the master is voluntary?

Yue Rong was excited, took two steps out of three, and hurriedly walked in the direction Xie Yan left.

Seeing him leave, Chunyu snorted softly.

She pushed open the door, saw Gu Ning with flushed cheeks, and saw Gu Ning's red and swollen lips sharply.

"County Lord." Her tone was soft, and she gently kneaded Gu Ning's shoulders, "In a few days, His Royal Highness Duan Wang will come to Jiangning with the eldest princess, you can't act so boldly."

Gu Ning supported his head and rolled his eyes fiercely.

Seeing the orderly increase in luck value, Gu Ning felt happy again, and waved his hand lazily: "Don't worry, he will leave Jiangning in despair before long."

Chunyu was puzzled: "But I see that His Royal Highness Duan Wang seems to be sure to win you. If you want him to leave, unless there is something important in Beijing to speak out."

"That might be." Gu Ning blinked at her, and smiled slyly, "Did you forget...that Qingqing girl I asked you to inquire about before?"

As soon as these words came out, Chun Yu immediately opened her eyes wide.

She nodded and said quickly, "You're right! I got news a few days ago that that girl Qingqing has also come to Jiang Ning."

Gu Ning smiled: "After the private salt issue is resolved, she should show up."

Chunyu looked at Gu Ning's eyes with more and more admiration.

……

In the original study.

"Mother, my child can't understand no matter what I think about it." Yuan Chongshan held the old lady's hand, puzzled, "Why...why do people still want to assassinate the county lord?"

The old lady Yuan glanced at him coldly, her tone was inexplicable: "You can say whatever you want in front of me, why bother to hide it?"

"Boy, I feel that this matter reveals something strange everywhere." Yuan Chongshan smiled sarcastically, but when he mentioned this matter, his expression changed again, and the killing intent appeared in his eyes, "These assassins are well-trained, and our entire Jiangning is also There are only a few families that can raise such killers, but why did those few families assassinate the county lord?"

"Let me ask you, who is behind Changning County Lord?" The old lady sat up straight, and asked in a cold voice, "You are worried that General Pei will use her to investigate the private salt, and other people will also be worried, let alone those few people. What the family has done, even if there are ten heads, it is not enough to cut off."

"If they succeed in assassinating the county head of Changning in the Yuan family, our Yuan family will become the target of public criticism, and they will be able to stay out of the matter."

Hearing Mrs. Yuan's affirmative words, Yuan Chongshan frowned.

Seeing this, the old lady Yuan snorted coldly, and shouted to the outside: "Qiuyue, present that thing up for the Elder Master to have a look at."

A beautiful aunt walked into the study, her pretty face was pale.

Facing Madam Yuan's gaze, she said in a voice like a mosquito, "I picked this up in the bamboo forest."

Yuan Chongshan stared at this frivolous sword, tremblingly said: "This... This kind of short sword can only be used by the killers raised by the Ling family!"

"Know people, know faces, but don't know your heart." The old lady Yuan sneered, "If you have the heart, you can pay attention to the movements of the Ling family in the past few days, but it's a pity that your eyes are only attached to these aunts!"

After finishing speaking, she heavily placed the crutches on the ground, and strode out of the study.

Yuan Chongshan was left with an uneasy expression, holding the short sword, his face changing unpredictablely.

"The Ling family!"

……

Several black shadows jumped out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and blended perfectly into the night.

They were extremely fast, but one of them occasionally fell behind, causing a bunch of dogs to bark.

Yue Rong's qinggong is very good, but tonight he seemed a little absent-minded, and almost missed a few places.

What happened today is so vivid in his mind that it is difficult for him to erase it from his mind.

Seeing this, Yue Ming grabbed him and said, "Master has just looked at you several times! What did you do today to anger Master?"

"I..." Yue Rong was about to speak, when the black shadow standing on the eaves stared at him coldly with a pair of phoenix eyes.

Immediately, Yue Rong swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He shook his head vigorously: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried about tonight's mission."

Just recalling that scene, his eyes instantly became erratic again.

Yue Ming looked him up and down a few times, and wrote distrust brightly: "Really?"

"Seriously!" Yue Rong said loudly, "I am the most honest person, how could I lie to Big Brother?"

Yue Ming sneered, but Xie Yan was at the side, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only pinch Yue Ming's waist: "It's better to be like this."

"Time is tight." Xie Yan said coldly, "If you have anything to say, you might as well wait until you return to the capital."

"Yes!" Yue Rong hurriedly shook off Yue Ming, and stood beside Xie Yan with big strides.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the night sky.

They moved extremely fast, landed on every eaves accurately and silently, and approached Xie Yan and the others step by step.

"Who is it!" Yue Ming asked vigilantly.

Several people stepped forward quickly, and the leader threw a token to Yue Ming.

This token looks very old, and under the moonlight, there are many nicks on it that are clearly visible.

But after seeing the familiar pattern, Yue Ming's eyes changed instantly, his eyes were red, and he gripped the token tremblingly.

"master……"

Yue Ming's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked at Xie Yan cautiously.

Facing him, Xie Yan remained calm.

It's just that under the black robe, he clenched his big hands with well-defined joints, and his eyes fell on the token, and he never moved.

It took a long time before his deep voice sounded.

"People from the Lu family?"

"The old department of the Lu family! See Your Highness!"
