Chapter 41 The Shadow

It's not right for the nanny to walk aside, or not to go, so she had to lower her head and go to the yard to sweep the fallen leaves, leaving Jiang Beimu to softly coax the baby and Tan Qiu, and it took a long time to coax them together.Jiang Beimu just felt that he had never had such a headache.

Jiang Beimu had no choice but to talk about Qiu Huai holding the baby over, and the baby's mouth shrank instantly and stopped crying. Only two deer-like eyes blinked at Jiang Beimu, lowered his head and bit his finger.

Tan Qiu sniffed, and said to Jiang Bei with a little hoarseness in his voice, "I'll go and pack some clothes for Zheng'er and take them away, so I won't have to come back to get them when I get them."

Jiang Beimu stopped and said: "No need, just let the nanny pack it up and send it to the Wanqiu Pavilion. You don't know what Zheng'er usually uses."

Tan Qiu thought for a moment to listen to Jiang Beimu's words, and it really made sense, then nodded, and returned to Wanqiu Pavilion with Jiang Beimu.

Tan Qiu was sitting in the yard, playing with the baby between his legs. The baby was lying on Tan Qiu's lap, waving a branch foolishly. .

Jiang Beimu originally planned to take the account book and go to the shop today, but now that the assassin disturbed him, he completely lost his mind and only looked through the account book in the study.

Tan Qiu was looking at the study room in a daze, suddenly his arms tightened, and his clothes were pulled several times. Tan Qiu turned his head to look, but saw the baby rubbing his eyes, stretching out his hand to snuggle into Tan Qiu's arms, and muttering: "Mother Darling, feel it."

Tan Qiu responded, and picked up the baby with both arms. He wanted to take him to the bedroom to rest, but when he walked to the door, he stopped suddenly, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.Just now he entered the study room alone, and was locked by the assassin, and it was because he was careless that he did not kill the assassin, so he escaped by chance.

In case the assassin came prepared, if he was in an ambush again, he might die...

The baby didn't understand what Tan Qiu was planning, so he just put his little face on Tan Qiu's heart and fell asleep happily.Tan Qiu looked down at the sleepy baby in his arms, turned around and moved back in a moment of thought, and went back to the study.

Jiang Beimu raised his head from the ledger and glanced at Tan Qiu.

"what happened?"

Tan Qiu hugged the baby and walked to Ruantao, lifted the thin blanket to cover the baby's body, and said softly: "Zheng'er is sleepy, take him to sleep for a while, I dare not leave your side, in case there are assassins .”

Jiang Beimu nodded knowingly, and comforted him: "Zhou Zhang is in the dark, and there is no assassin nearby who can hurt you."

Tan Qiu walked to Jiang Beimu's side while talking, and sat beside him very naturally, with one hand supporting the desk, his gaze fell on the densely packed account books in a daze, but he said in his mouth: "I just entered the study and was locked up." Well, thank goodness the assassin used a rope instead of a knife, otherwise he would just give me a knife."

Jiang Beimu smiled and shook his head, but he couldn't refute anything. After all, Tan Qiu was just an ordinary person, but now he was in danger because of him. He should protect Tan Qiu out of emotion and reason.

"As I said just now, I can ask Zhou Zhang to protect you from here, find a safe place, and I can also resettle your family."

Jiang Beimu looked away, turned the pages of the book with his fingertips, and said casually.

Tan Qiu snorted softly, "Isn't the master found when he came to Sifang City? If they really want to kill people, they can find you even if they go to the ends of the earth."

"I have a blood feud with them, you are just implicated, if you leave, they will not pursue too much." Jiang Beimu said.

Tan Qiu leaned his head on Jiang Beimu's shoulder, stretched out his five fingers against the sun, and cast a few shadows on his face, "Who said I was implicated, I am the baby's mother, your wife. "

Jiang Beimu sighed softly, as if he contained a lot of feelings, but in the end he didn't say it out, just shook his head slightly, and continued to look through the account books.

Tan Qiu closed his eyes slowly, leaning on Jiang Beimu's shoulder, his breath was filled with the familiar and reassuring breath, Tan Qiu's cheeks were bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, with a tinge of blush, and he was breathing smoothly and lightly sleeping like this go.

In a trance, Tan Qiuyi was on the battlefield in a dream, screaming and fighting all around, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood under his feet, a strong smell in the strong wind, the banners were hunting and roaring like fierce beasts, and a long and narrow afterglow of the setting sun above the sky was like a Zhang Yu lifted his eyes, overlooking all living beings.

In the afterglow, one of them was holding a military flag, while the other was waving a long knife. His clothes were already stained red with blood. Tan Qiu looked at the back with fascination. Tan Qiu's black pupils crashed into Tan Qiu's eyes.

"Wake up, Xiao Ye and the others are here."

Jiang Beimu's voice was quiet, and like a gust of wind, it brushed the hair by Tan Qiu's ears. Tan Qiu slowly opened his eyes, but found that Jiang Beimu's body seemed to be pillowed under the palm of his hand, covered with a thin fox blanket. His cheeks flushed and his eyes dimmed.

Jiang Beimu was leaning on the bed, with the sleeping baby on his left, and Tan Qiu in his arms. The three of them were covered with fox blankets.

"What time is it now?" Tan Qiu asked in a daze, and the moment he got up, the cold wind poured in, and he woke up a lot.

It was dark inside the room, only the stars and red lights projected in from the window, it was obviously already late at night.

"Someone just came to say that Xiao Ye and Fu He came to our place. I think it's because of today's assassin incident, so I just wanted to let them eat together." Jiang Beimu lifted the fox blanket from his body, sat up, and moved a little. With a numb right arm, she got up and straightened the wrinkled clothes that Tan Qiu slept on.

Tan Qiu sat on the couch, rubbed his head, the pair of black eyes in the dream always appeared in his mind, Tan Qiu was quiet for a while, then reached out to pat the baby who was sleeping on his buttocks.

Jiang Beimu stepped forward to hold the baby in his arms, and said to Tan Qiu, "I'll do it, you need to wake up first."

Tan Qiu shook his head, and said to Jiang Bei: "Let's go, don't keep people waiting."

Jiang Beimu had nothing to do, so he carried the baby and Tan Qiu to the front hall.

The mansion had already lit up the lights at night, and the incident of the assassin today didn't seem to have affected the servants in the mansion. When Tan Qiu passed by, he saw that the servants and maids were still talking and laughing happily, without the slightest hint of fear.

That's good too, lest one or two get into trouble sometimes.

Thinking this way, Tan Qiu came to the front hall, where Xiao Ye and Fu He were sitting at the table, obviously they had just arrived not long ago, and they hadn't taken off their cloaks yet.

"Brother Jiang." Seeing Jiang Beimu appearing, Xiao Ye got up and shouted. Jiang Beimu just nodded, and Xiao Ye stopped talking. "I don't seem to be here at the right time. Brother Jiang just came out of Wenrou Township?"

As Xiao Ye said, he turned around and closed the door, there were only a few servant girls in the room.

The baby in Jiang Beimu's arms was only waking up at this moment. Seeing the strange environment around him, he couldn't help feeling nervous first. He grabbed Jiang Beimu's lapel with his small hands and whispered, "Father..."

Jiang Beimu patted the baby on the back, and said to the other maids, "Go and prepare the dishes, you don't need to wait."

The maids responded, turned and left, and closed the door behind them.

Tan Qiu came to Fu He's side, looking like he had just woken up, Fu He turned his head slightly to look at Tan Qiu's neck, and blinked.

"The medicine has been applied." Tan Qiu pointed to his neck.

Only then did Fu He nod his head.

Xiao Ye helped Jiang Beimu move the chair, and the four of them sat down. Xiao Ye joked with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Jiang's children to be so old. I just heard in letters that you have a son."

"His name is Jiang Zheng, and he is proud." Jiang Beimu smiled slightly, and turned the baby in his arms to face everyone.The baby rarely sees strangers, and it was the first time he was brought out at this moment, and his little face was full of nervousness.

"Come on, let uncle hug you." Xiao Ye clapped his hands at the baby without a formality, and then opened his arms.

The baby silently turned his head and buried his face in Jiang Beimu's arms, acting like a little bunny who cared nothing for his head.Seeing this, Xiao Ye laughed loudly, "I didn't expect Brother Jiang, your son is so shy, it doesn't look like you at all."

Jiang Beimu didn't get angry when he was teased, he just smiled and said, "I seldom take him out to meet people, I'm not used to it yet."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye stopped teasing the baby, looked around the room, and then asked: "By the way, where is Zhou Zhang? Isn't he coming to eat?"

As soon as these words came out, Tan Qiu, who was lying on the table bored, immediately perked up his ears.

This Zhou Zhang should be the person who saved him during the day today, he can be regarded as his savior.

Tan Qiu's eyes drifted to Jiang Beimu, Jiang Beimu paused, and then said: "I haven't seen him yet."

Xiao Ye sighed lightly when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "How about the people you bring, Brother Jiang, they all have the same temperament, you can't talk about things between brothers, you have to be stubborn, after all these years No, no matter how deep the grievances are, it should dissipate."

Tan Qiu heard half of it, and only knew that Zhou Zhang seemed to have had conflicts with Jiang Beimu and Xiao Ye, so that they did not meet or speak for so many years.

But Tan Qiu felt that it should not be a big deal, after all, Zhou Zhang traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Sifang City, and hid in the dark without showing his face, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

But Tan Qiu didn't intend to interrupt, after all, he didn't understand the grievances between the three of them at all, and it would be easy to make mistakes by interjecting indiscriminately.

Jiang Beimu didn't answer, just smiled wryly. At this time, the door was knocked lightly, and the maid's soft voice came from outside.

"Sir, the dishes and rice are ready."

"Come in." Jiang Beimu said.

As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open, and the maids came in with various dishes in their hands, lightly placed the dishes on the table, and walked away after setting up the dishes.

The baby in Jiang Beimu's arms had never seen so many dishes, and he couldn't help reaching out curiously to grab the meatballs in front of him. Seeing this, Jiang Beimu picked up the chopsticks and knocked the baby's hand gently, saying in a deep voice Said: "Can't eat."

The baby pursed his lips aggrievedly after being knocked on the hand, touched each other with his fleshy little hands, and looked at Tan Qiu pitifully.

Tan Qiuzheng picked up a chopstick of green vegetables, and before he ate them, he saw the baby's pitiful eyes, and he didn't want to eat or not, so he coughed lightly and looked at Jiang Beimu silently.

Before Jiang Beimu could answer, he heard a short exclamation from outside the door, followed by the sound of cups and plates shattering.
