A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

After catching the people, they died suddenly one after another before being interrogated.

Zhou Qiong didn't bother to check, and just ordered: "Throw all the people into the mass graves to feed the wild dogs."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is tried or not.

Both sides know who is the thorn in whose side.

Because tung oil was splashed everywhere in the yard, and the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds seemed to attract the attention of the neighbors.

Yunling simply asked Yu Liu to lead the men to clean up, while she took Zhou Qiong to lean on the corridor.

"I really didn't expect this to happen today," she said.

After Zhou Qiong calmed down, she was still a little frightened, "Fortunately Guan Jiu is here, if he is not here..."

He simply couldn't imagine that the Liu family was so cruel that they would attack a girl's family.

"The dignified Duke of Guo, even though he is now a Wuhou, I really didn't expect that two grown men would use such a dirty trick."

At this time, he was extremely lucky to have arranged Guan Jiu as a secret guard next to Yun Ling in advance.

I was also glad that I couldn't sleep at night and suddenly wanted to come and see her.

If Yunling was hurt in the slightest, he would never forgive himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiong couldn't help but hold her tightly in her arms, "I'll order some people when I get back later and send a few more people to protect you."

After hearing what he said, Yunling asked casually: "The man in black just now was named Guan Jiu. What is his relationship with Guan Yi?"

It's not surprising that she was curious. It was said that Guan Jiu had been staying at the Tang family since she came to Ruidu, but she had never seen him once.

If he hadn't been suddenly attacked at night tonight, maybe this person would still be hiding in a corner without showing up, just like now, with no trace at all.

"Guan Nai is the unified surname of my Zhou family's secret guards. They only have code names. Each master will lead an apprentice. After the apprentice leaves the apprenticeship, the master can retire and the apprentice will inherit the code name."

Yunling was confused by what he said, "But when you first went to Qingzhou, didn't you borrow the name of Guan Yi's brother Guan Cheng?"

"It's a coincidence that Guan's real name is Guan Xu, but he just happened to be favored by Guan Yi and accepted him as his disciple. He later inherited the title of Yi and became my secret guard."

"I see," Yunling nodded, "Then from Guan 1 to Guan 9, are there a total of nine secret guards around you?"

"Grandpa, there will be twenty of them. Eight of them died fighting with my father. They had no disciples to inherit them, so they withdrew their code names. The remaining twelve are obeying my grandfather's orders and protecting me at all times. But these twelve people As they get older, the root causes of the injuries they suffered when they were young are slowly showing up, so I take the decision to let them enjoy their old age, and their codenames and guards will be inherited by their apprentices."

"It's just..." Zhou Qiong's eyes suddenly darkened, "I have encountered a lot of things over the years, especially when you saved me back then, three more of the twelve people were lost. Now There really are only nine.”

His tone was calm, but Yunling felt indescribable sadness.

She stretched out her hand and patted his back gently, "From now on, we must be more careful and take no risks to prevent them from getting hurt."

Then he advised: "I know you feel sorry for Guan Yi when he is injured, so you have always asked him to stay with me to take care of the trivial matters. He has done a good job, and I think he can also do well in Guan 2 and Guan 3 for big things in the future. Once it’s completed, we’ll let them rest and then give them wives and children.”

Zhou Qiong looked at her deeply, "Do you know why I like you?"

Seeing that his words were so abrupt and a bit explicit, Yunling felt a little shy.

But she was not like the ancients who would immediately be so shy that she could not speak. Instead, she asked curiously: "Why?"

She also wants to know the answer.

For her, the main reason why she liked Zhou Qiong at first was his handsome face, and then they fell in love with him over time.

And based on Zhou Qiong's identity and status, what kind of beautiful woman has he not seen?

You shouldn't fall in love with her at first sight, right?

Even if there is, it should only be a little bit? Don't you have such deep feelings?

And she secretly guessed that it was because Zhou Qiong was too poor and she happened to be able to make money. Maybe Zhou Qiong was attracted by her talent and ability.

But she saw the man's eyes as bright as stars staring at her for a moment, and said solemnly: "Because, every time you say it, it is what I think in my heart."

"For me, you and I are more compatible than the so-called telepathy. It seems that I was born to meet you, and maybe you were born to meet me."

"Grandma said that you and I are destined to be together, and I think so too."

He said it affectionately and seriously. Yunling's heart was filled with heat. She put her arms around his neck and couldn't help but whisper in his ear: "I also feel that in this era, there should be no one who agrees with you as much as you do." Me, respect me.”

The two of them were surrounded by lingering emotions.

Seeing the young man and woman moving more and more irregularly, Lao Qi couldn't help coughing.

"The old man will be here soon."

It was impossible for the Tang family not to notice such a big movement. Although they asked their servants to report and comfort them, they would definitely come to see it in person to feel relieved.

Yunling's face flushed, and she quickly moved to one side a few times, widening the distance between her and Zhou Qiong.

Seeing people sweeping up the mess in the courtyard, apart from a hint of fear, she felt speechless.

This was far from the power struggle she imagined.

She had always believed that the struggle for power should take place in the court or in the military camp, not in the small inner courtyard and back house.

Now that she was involved in the situation, she suddenly felt that Wuhou Mansion was nothing more than that.

The Liu brothers are just mediocre.

"Are they planning to attack me so early? And against me? I'm not the eldest prince, so I shouldn't be afraid of them enough to attack me, right?"

Since she returned to Ruidu, she has not done business in Ruidu. She has always acted with a cautious attitude. Except for not choosing to avoid it when she was pregnant, she has almost never done anything public.

The Liu brothers sent people to kill her and silence her?

Zhou Qiong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her tone was full of disdain, "In my opinion, they have also lost their minds. They are probably used to being domineering in the past. It's rare that someone is not used to them, so they become angry and lose control."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that they want to try the depth of Zhenxihou Mansion now."

Liu Boyi may have thought that there was no harm in giving it a try, and it would be better to kill Yunling to vent his anger.

"Perhaps they know that King Ding is back?"

Zhou Qiong shook her head, "They probably don't know about this. If they knew about it, they would definitely let Cousin Ginseng take a copy of it, and they would definitely set their sights on you."

"It's just..." Zhou Qiong was silent for a while, and finally said, "Let's get married as soon as possible. I'll ask my grandmother to find someone to see a good life and decide on your name, so that I can rest assured." ."

Yunling raised her eyes to look at him and suddenly asked, "Are you leaving?"
