lord and beauty

"I have fought against the Di people, so I know their martial arts skills." Seeing that the two did not answer, Zhou Zhang continued.

"The group of them are all desperadoes, sinister and cunning, and the target this time is me, so I can go alone." Jiang Beimu disagreed and rejected Zhou Zhang's proposal.

Tan Qiu didn't speak. Although Zhou Zhang's death was not directly related to the nanny's death, he had to admit that he was really worried about letting Jiang Beimu go alone. Although he had never seen Zhou Zhang's martial arts before, he was by Jiang Beimu's side in the past. Tan Qiu knows that if someone needs to accompany him, then Zhou Zhang is the best choice.

When Tan Qiu raised his eyes, he happened to bump into Jiang Beimu's eyes. Tan Qiufu went to his heart and whispered, "I'll go in and pack her things first." '

After saying that, without looking at the two of them, he went into the house, the moment the door closed, Tan Qiu quickly turned around, put his ear on the door, and listened carefully to the movement in the courtyard.

"I'll go to Shuyang Mountain tomorrow by myself." Jiang Beimu's voice could not be heard, and Tan Qiu changed his posture and pressed the other ear to it.

"There were about 30 people from the Di clan on this trip. They were the remnants of the Lanluo tribe who joined some rebels. They were all as desperate as that madman." Zhou Zhang replied, "You and your child will not survive. come down."

"I know." Jiang Beimu sighed softly. "The two of us, Zheng'er and I, may not be able to retreat completely. After all, we are outnumbered, and my right hand is already half-crippled, so I have nothing else to ask for."

Zhou Zhang sneered and replied, "You never begged me."

"That was in the past." Jiang Beimu said lightly, "Now the facts are in front of me. I have long lost the strength I had before. If the situation takes a turn for the worse, please protect Zheng'er."

Zhou Zhang didn't reply, but Tan Qiu, who was eavesdropping in the room, couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

"I know your temperament. This incident was not caused by you, but because of your leaving your post without authorization, an innocent life was killed."

"Now I have nothing else to ask. There are only three requests, I hope you can agree." Jiang Beimu's voice suddenly slowed down, with a hint of resignation, which made Tan Qiu feel a little unbearable.

Although Zhou Zhang didn't speak, Tan Qiu knew he must be listening.

"The first is to hope that you can rescue Zheng'er safely."

"Secondly, if something happens to me, all the shops and houses under my name will be divided between you and Xiao Ye. It's a good thing to dismiss the house servants."

"I don't want your money." Zhou Zhang suddenly interrupted Jiang Beimu's words.

Jiang Beimu chuckled, and continued: "The third is, all my money and valuables are given to Tan Qiu. Help him go back."

Tan Qiu's teeth clenched his lower lip, almost losing a trace of blood.

Zhou Zhang took a deep breath, "I am no longer your subordinate, I don't need to listen to your words. That's it, I won't agree to any of your requests. If you die, you will die. I won't give you the aftermath." .”

After Zhou Zhang finished speaking, there was no more movement in the courtyard.

Tan Qiu pushed open the door in a daze. Jiang Beimu was the only one standing under the tree in the courtyard, and Zhou Zhang had long since disappeared.

Tan Qiu walked forward slowly, Jiang Beimu came back to his senses, pulled the corner of his mouth at Tan Qiu, showing a slight smile, but those eyes were like that of a tired traveler, without a trace of expression.

"The cost of resettlement is from the public account. If their demands are not excessive, they can agree."

Tan Qiu's heart was in a panic, and he didn't answer when he heard the words. He just stepped forward and gently hugged Jiang Beimu's shoulders, and hugged him tightly. Jiang Beimu didn't push back, but just stood there like a piece of wood. .And this motionless appearance made Tan Qiu's heart drop to the bottom of the valley.

"Master..." Tan Qiu buried his cheek in Jiang Beimu's shoulder, and said softly, "You must come back alive."

Jiang Beimu's breath moved slightly, but he didn't answer. Tan Qiu couldn't hold back the tears that almost welled up in his eyes, and hurriedly put his eyes on Jiang Beimu's shoulders. After a long time, Jiang Beimu gently raised his hand and held Tan Qiu back. body, palms patted silently to appease.

It's night, inside the Banqiu Pavilion.

Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu fell asleep together, but Tan Qiu didn't feel sleepy at all. Jiang Beimu beside him was breathing steadily, lying on his back, as if he was fast asleep.

Tan Qiu gently turned over and looked at Jiang Beimu beside him, only a vague outline could be seen in the darkness.Tan Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and after several thoughts in his heart, he always recalled what Jiang Beimu said to Zhou Zhang this afternoon.

He didn't want Jiang Beimu to be in danger.

But the baby was in the hands of the lunatic again, and every second of Tanqiu felt very difficult, every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to always see the baby, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

If possible, he hopes that he can replace the baby, after all, Zheng'er is still so young, who knows what those lunatics will do to him.

Tan Qiu turned over lightly, facing the outside and sighed.

Jiang Beimu's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Don't think too much, Zheng'er will come back in good condition tomorrow."

Tan Qiu got the answer, but she was not as happy as expected, instead, the sadness on her face was more obvious.

"What about you?" Tan Qiu didn't turn around.

Jiang Beimu didn't answer, and Tan Qiu continued: "If you die, what will Zhenger do? He lost his mother, so is he going to lose his father? His father died because of him. He is only so young now, I'm afraid This will make him feel guilty for the rest of his life, won't he?"

"I've never been a good father either." Jiang Beimu's sigh came from the darkness, but it grabbed Tan Qiu's heart like an invisible big hand.

a long time.

"But you can be a good father in the future." Tan Qiu said softly, "As long as you can survive."

"The Di clan is just the beginning." Jiang Beimu said, "I have been living in seclusion for several years, and even in those days in Qiuyan County, the Di clan couldn't find me. They were found."

"The one who really wants me dead is the one who told them about my movements behind my back."

"Even if I can kill all the Di people, what about the next batch? If the people behind the scenes don't give up, there will always be a steady stream of troubles."

Listening to Jiang Beimu's words, Tan Qiu felt even more hopeless, with only a small hope left in his heart, "Then why don't we leave Sifang City?"

Jiang Beimu laughed, as if moved by Tan Qiu's childish words, but the laughter became very bitter when it entered Tan Qiu's ears.

"It's useless." Jiang Beimu replied. "You don't know who is behind the scenes. Now that I have shown my traces in Sifang City, it will be difficult to get rid of their eyeliner in the future."

"who are they?"

After Tan Qiu finished asking, the room fell into darkness and silence again. Just as Tan Qiu was feeling uneasy, worrying if he had said something wrong, Jiang Beimu replied softly, "In the capital, in the Duke's Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Qiudeng was startled.

In his impression, the capital is full of high-ranking officials, and the Duke's Mansion is a marquis from a family that has some relationship with the royal family. Did Jiang Beimu offend this kind of family? !

Tan Qiu hadn't recovered from the shock, but Jiang Beimu said softly, "Go to sleep."

After saying that, Jiang Beimu turned over and fell asleep with his back to Tan Qiu.

Tan Qiu hesitated for a long time before turning over. The hand under the quilt gently pushed aside his quilt, penetrated into Jiang Beimu's quilt, and brushed Jiang Beimu's waistline lightly with his fingertips. The body of the person under his palm tensed instantly, and Tan Qiu mustered up his courage, and pushed himself up behind him, holding Jiang Beimu in his arms from behind.

"master……"

Tan Qiu's breath almost sprayed on Jiang Beimu's ears, making his scalp tingle.

Jiang Beimu didn't know Tanqiu's plan, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep, hoping that Tanqiu would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Unexpectedly, today's incident might have been too exciting for Tan Qiu. Seeing that Jiang Beimu hadn't moved, Tan Qiu didn't stop moving, but intensified it even more, and quietly touched the hem of his trousers with his fingertips.

Jiang Beimu's body shook, and he hurriedly pressed Tan Qiu's hand.

Tan Qiu's fingertips moved slightly, scraping Jiang Beimu's palm lightly like a feather, and then gave up the plan to touch it into the pants, and instead gently moved it down along the fabric.

Jiang Beimu only felt his body go numb where Tan Qiu's fingers passed.The palm that was pressing on the waist suddenly loosened for some reason.

It was the first time that Tan Qiu did such a thing when both of them were awake. His wrist trembled unavoidably, and he hung it on Jiang Beimu's thigh for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Beimu didn't stop him or push him away, Open, I am a lot more courageous now, and gently put my palm on there through the fabric.

Jiang Beimu's palm on the pillow suddenly clenched tightly, tearing the quilt into several creases.

Before Tan Qiu could make any movements, he could feel that the things under his palm were already flickering.

The sound of breathing in the curtain was staggered and heavy, like two beasts meeting in the cold night, absorbing warmth from each other.

The moonlight outside the house was like water, falling on the dead trees in the courtyard, casting mottled and weird black shadows, and the night wind whining through the window lattice like ghosts.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, a figure passed over the eaves and disappeared into the darkness.

The moonlight is hidden in the clouds, the room is quiet,

The next morning, when the cock crowed.

Tan Qiu woke up leisurely, Jiang Beimu was no longer beside him as usual.He still went to Shuyang Mountain.

Tan Qiu didn't get up in a hurry to find Jiang Beimu, but lay on his back in a daze, his eyes fixed on the bed curtain, and he sighed after a long time, lifted the quilt and got up and got out of bed.

As usual, Tan Qiu just rinsed his mouth and washed his face step by step, and then went to the front hall for dinner. It seemed that there was nothing urgent. After the matter was over, Tan Qiu walked to the gate of the Jiang Mansion. fretting.

On the other side, at the foot of Shuyang Mountain.

The white horse trampled on the dead leaves and walked slowly towards Shuyang Mountain.

Jiang Beimu changed into a crimson martial robe, with images of ferocious beasts embroidered with gold thread on the chest and back, his black hair was tied up, and he didn't carry any weapons on his body. He walked up the mountain alone with one man and one horse that path.
