The reborn beauty Ru Lan

The second prince, Xiao Luo, was brought up under the Empress's lap since he was a child. His mother and concubine was the late imperial concubine, and she had a very close relationship with Xiao Xingyu.

He died so quickly that he didn't even have time to explain anything about his funeral, and the Duanming Mansion he built and managed, also known as the Ming Palace, was a criminal law department outside of the Dali Temple and the Sixth Department, and was once rewarded by the Emperor for his meritorious service in handling the case. , and after Xiao Luo's death, the Duanming Mansion was handed over to Xiao Qian again.

After that, Xiao Qian flourished all the way, and ascended the throne two years later, known as Xia Qingzong in history, but after he ascended the throne, the Ming Palace was shelved to a corner, and it would no longer be as glorious as it was when Xiao Luo was alive.And because the original name of the fourth prince, Xiao Baozhong, was pronounced similar to the emperor's name, he was renamed Xiao Xingyu.

In fact, the second prince was raised as the prince Yin, and even his name was different from the other princes. Many people acquiesced to this, but because of his sudden death, this throne fell into Xiao Qian's hands.

Although Xiao Xingyu knew some hidden clues left by Xiao Luo, he suffered from no way to contact them, so he happened to see them today.Once I did Brother Er Huang a small favor, Brother Er Huang promised him one thing. From now on, I will send him a secret line specially opened for him. If he is in trouble in the future, as long as he goes to a wishful tavern and matches the code , the people on that line belonged to him.

It's just that Xiao Xingyu didn't ask much later, he himself forgot, but Xiao Luo didn't, and he happened to come to Ruyi Tavern today before he remembered it.Xiao Xingyu was glad that his second brother really wouldn't lie to him!

Because the wine had already been delivered at this time, although the shopkeeper was stopped outside the courtyard, Xi Ting personally brought the food box in.

There is a delicate and small white porcelain wine jar in the food box. Xiao Xingyu glanced at the jar, nodded and said: "There is really drunken wine."

Xi Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and then Xiao Xingyu ordered: "How can there be wine without food? I'm hungry now, please trouble the butler of Xi Ting to prepare some food for the wine."

Xi Ting swallowed his anger and responded, and then quickly retreated.

He just left the food box that came with the wine jar on the table. After he left, Xiao Xingyu immediately opened the food box, put the wine jar aside, turned to the lowest layer, and found that there was still a mezzanine. The mezzanine was opened, and there was a letter inside, the sound of Xiting's footsteps came back soon, Xiao Xingyu hurriedly stuffed the letter into his arms, and then rearranged the things again, pretending to be nonchalant.

During the process, Xie Rulan kept looking at him and gave him a lookout.

After Xiting entered the room, he only took out the wine jar, took the food box away without saying anything, and seemed to find nothing.

The shopkeeper in front of the door was sent away by him, and it took a while for the appetizers prepared by Xiting to arrive, but Xiao Xingyu didn't intend to let them watch, so he closed the door again, and the two went into the inner room Take out the letter and read it.

It is said to be a letter, but in fact there is only a piece of letter paper, and there are only a few words on that paper - Duanmu Mansion is heavily guarded, see you again today.

Seeing this, Xiao Xingyu knew that he had found the right person, Xie Rulan said: "Tomorrow is supposed to be a wedding banquet, and there must be a lot of work in the mansion tonight, so we can escape while taking advantage of the chaos."

Xiao Xingyu nodded, thinking that he could finally feel proud this time, the people under his second brother are all capable people!

Before night, a lot of things were sent from the front yard, which almost filled Xiao Xingyu's room, and there was also a wedding dress that had been specially repaired several times and finally fit. When Xiting saw those things, he was very worried. , but can only endure.

And tonight Xiao Xingyu also went to bed early, Xi Ting was tired after guarding him for a few days, and tomorrow was Duanmu Ci's wedding day, he was exhausted and unable to keep guarding, so he went back to his room after listening to people's persuasion.

But when the child was approaching, Xiao Xingyu sneaked out of his room. Of course, the servants only dared to guard in front of the courtyard door. There was a cold sword light, but it made people jump.

Xiao Xingyu thought that Xie Rulan hadn't fallen asleep, so he called him: "Xie Ning?"

Xie Ning hummed, put down the sword, Xiao Xingyu patted his chest and sat down in front of him in the dark, whispering: "Is someone here?"

Xie Rulan shook her head, but the room was too dark, and she couldn't see people clearly with the moonlight, so he said: "No."

Xiao Xingyu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Then wait a little longer."

Just after saying this, a meow or two suddenly sounded in front of Xie Rulan's window. Both Xiao Xingyu and Xie Rulan became vigilant, but Xie Rulan clenched his sword and got up, waved his hands to let Xiao Xingyu sit where he was, and he walked slowly. He approached the window and opened the closed window a crack, and there was someone outside who whispered, "Officer, this villain belongs to Ruyi Tavern!"

Seeing this, Xie Rulan pushed the window open, and sure enough, a black figure jumped in quickly from outside. He was very agile and seemed to have received special training. When he closed the window, there was no sound at all, but when he turned around, he suddenly stopped. He stopped, because in the dark, he saw a sharp sword blade with a cold light right in front of his neck, and if he took a step forward, he would die.

And at this tense moment, a small oil lamp suddenly lit up in the room, and the two people who were in a stalemate suddenly looked at the light source. Xiao Xingyu was holding the lamp with a weak light, and said blushingly: "I think this is They don’t look too closely at your room, so it doesn’t matter if you turn on the lamp.”

The key is that the black light is blind, and it is easy to accidentally injure.

After lighting the lamp, Xiao Xingyu saw the face of the man in black clearly, and showed a familiar expression with the man in black. The man in black wanted to step forward, but he was jealous of the sword in front of him, so he had to He whispered: "Subordinate Zhong Yue, pay my respects to Fourth Master!"

Xiao Xingyu got up excitedly, hurriedly asked Xie Rulan to let him go, and explained: "I know this person! He is the person next to my second brother, Xie Ning, so don't be on guard."

Hearing this, Xie Rulan put down his sword, and the handsome man in black said happily: "That's great! The Zizi passed away suddenly, Zhong Yue thought that he would spend his whole life in Yunzhou..."

Xiao Xingyu hissed hurriedly, and whispered: "Be quiet, there are people outside!"

Zhong Yue said with a smile: "Fourth Master, don't worry, I have replaced the outsiders, and now the guards are all my own."

So why did Xiao Xingyu worry, he immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "That's really great!"

Zhong Yue nodded, then suddenly knelt down to Xiao Xingyu, and said seriously: "My subordinate Zhong Yue was ordered by the master to lead a group of people to evacuate the capital and take root in Yunzhou, waiting for the fourth master to summon at any time! I command you to obey Fourth Master's words from now on, and protect Fourth Master faithfully, even if you die with swords or fire!"

Xiao Xingyu was a little surprised. He never expected that his second brother would put this line in Yunzhou. Maybe his second brother told him, but Xiao Xingyu didn't remember it, and he always thought that Ruyi Tavern would In the capital.

Xiao Xingyu hurriedly helped Zhong Yue up, and said, "I understand what Second Brother means, how many of you are there now?"

Zhong Yue said: "Including the subordinates, there are more than a dozen people. These dozen people are all dead soldiers dispatched by the Duanming Mansion. It is absolutely credible."

That's enough too.Xiao Xingyu thought in his heart, called Zhong Yue to sit down at the table, told him about the past few days, and then asked him: "Is it difficult for you to rescue the two of us from Duanmu Mansion?"

Zhong Yue said briskly, "That's no problem."

It's just that he couldn't help but look at the handsome sword-wielding young man standing behind Xiao Xingyu. It was impossible for him not to notice the action when this man pointed the sword at him just now, but he just didn't feel it. This person's skills are not inferior to his.

Zhong Yue looked at Xie Rulan, hesitantly asked: "Who is this young master?"

Looking at how he gets along with Xiao Xingyu, he doesn't look like Xiao Xingyu's subordinate.

Xiao Xingyu explained: "This is Xie Ning and Xie Shaoxia, he is my friend."

Xie Rulan nodded, and Zhong Yue also nodded in return, and then asked, "Fourth master is leaving with his subordinates now?"

Xiao Xingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'll leave tomorrow."

These words also shocked Xie Rulan, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to leave tomorrow?"

Xiao Xingyu said: "If I leave tonight, Xiting will definitely find out. Duanmu Ci will not be able to get married tomorrow. At that time, he will definitely send people to look for someone in the city. It will be troublesome then. But I thought again, since I and She has had a friendship, why not fulfill her?"

Xie Rulan frowned and said, "Do you want to marry her?"

Xiao Xingyu smiled and said: "Of course not, I just want to give her a big gift."

He didn't say any more about the gift, and Zhong Yue wouldn't ask, he just had to obey the order, and after talking in detail for a while, Zhong Yue left first, and he would come back to save people tomorrow.

Xie Rulan still didn't understand, but she refrained from asking.After the people left, Xiao Xingyu was left alone in Xie Rulan's room. As soon as he relaxed, he couldn't help but fantasize, those peach blossom eyes flew wildly on Xie Rulan's face, and there was a three-pointed smirk on the corners of his lips.

Xie Rulan couldn't stand it anymore, and asked him, "What's your plan?"

Xiao Xingyu blinked and said, "You will know tomorrow."

Xie Rulan was discouraged, at this time there were three beeps outside the house, Xie Rulan was a little sleepy, and also a little depressed, and said: "You don't say anything. If you leave tomorrow, why don't you go back to your room to rest now?"

With his reminder, Xiao Xingyu could only leave with regret, but he was still unwilling to leave before he left. When will he be able to live in the same room with Xie Rulan in an open and aboveboard manner?But he smiled wryly, maybe it's impossible, who knows if Xie Rulan fell in love with him?

After getting the sweetness, I can't help but want more, Xiao Xingyu also knows that he is getting more and more greedy, so he can only persuade himself, in the end, it is right to wait slowly.

When Zhong Yue quietly left Duanmu's house, he met a strange woman at the entrance of the alley, wearing a red dress with bright red embroidered shoes exposed outside the dress, and a black cloak over the red dress, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.It's just that the woman was wearing a wide hood, and she couldn't see the face clearly in the dark, only the red lips and white face contrasted sharply.

But Zhong Yue vaguely sensed the woman's cold and murderous aura.

People who are still walking in the alley at this time are somewhat unusual.

Knowing that he shouldn't look too much, but Zhong Yue always felt that something was wrong. After passing by for a while, he still couldn't help looking back at the woman at the corner of the alley, only to see her suddenly leaping into Duanmu's house. In the backyard, the figure quickly disappeared into the night.
