lord and beauty

"Lieutenant Zhou wants it, so I have no reason to refuse." Mr. Li's tone was stiff, but he restrained a lot. Perhaps he was afraid of Zhou Zhang's identity, and more worried about Jiang Beimu.

Businessmen are most sensitive to their own interests. Even if Jiang Beimu didn't say anything, the power of the City Lord's Mansion behind Xiao Ye and Zhou Zhang's status as a "former captain" are enough to wake him up from his anger .

It's just a woman, so how can she tear herself apart with Jiang Beimu.

Mr. Li forced himself to stabilize his mind, then took a few deep breaths, pulled out a stiff smile, and said, "Shuang'er, hurry up and serve Captain Zhou properly."

The woman's expression moved slightly, as if a little hesitant.

"What are you still doing?" Seeing him standing still, Mr. Li's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but slightly raised his voice to reprimand him.

Zhou Zhang had watched enough of the show, so he took two steps forward, casually stretched out his hand, wrapped around the woman's slender waist, and pulled her into his arms with a hint of indisputability. The next is even more sinister and frightening.

The woman's scalp was numb immediately from that gaze, as if she was being targeted by a ferocious beast, Zhou Zhang's fingers around her waist were like iron hooks, and she couldn't move.

Zhou Zhang looked at the woman in his arms coldly, and casually chuckled, "Why, don't you want to."

The woman suddenly became clever and flattered her subconsciously: "It's a little girl's blessing to be able to serve the Lord, and it's too late to be happy."

Zhou Zhang hummed twice perfunctorily, noticing the slight trembling of the woman's delicate body in the crook of his arms, he even wanted to say a few more words with a little malice, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Beimu.

"Zhou Zhang, don't go too far."

Jiang Beimu's light words were inserted straight into Zhou Zhang's mind like a command flag, which immediately stopped him from thinking.

Tan Qiu was eating dried fruit while watching a good show. Zhou Zhang had always been used to doing his own way, but when he met Jiang Beimu, he was not obedient. I guess he was taught by Jiang Beimu a lot.

"People also gave it away. If there is nothing else, let's eat first."

Jiang Beimu broke the silence in the room, and said calmly, regardless of Mr. Li's embarrassing expression.

The people don't fight with the officials, let alone there are two big Buddhas present, no matter how dissatisfied Mr. Li is, he can only swallow a word as if he is being strangled by the neck.

Seeing this situation, everyone didn't dare to mention it even if there was something small in their hearts, so they could only chat with each other with smiles on their faces.

Mr. Li's incident seemed to be an insignificant episode, and it was quickly forgotten by everyone.

During the banquet, cups and cups were intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo was mixed with the crisp sound of a woman's coquettish laughter colliding with a wine glass.

It can be regarded as a happy event for the host and guest for a while.

After Zhou Zhang got the beauty, he didn't know when to leave, leaving the woman standing alone in the courtyard was a little awkward, Mr. Li's anger was suppressed in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.

The rest of the people seemed to be afraid of getting burned, and they didn't even bother to give alms.

Just now it was attracting the attention of all the people, but now it is hard to avoid.

Tan Qiu sat on the seat, held the wine glass in one hand and clicked his mouth, feeling a little regretful, thinking that Mr. Li is really not a person, and he doesn't know how to run a shop, so maybe there are people in charge.

Tan Qiu still couldn't bear it, so he quietly reached out and pushed Jiang Beimu, and motioned to the woman standing in the atrium with his eyes.

Jiang Beimu didn't seem to want to care about this matter, so he just glanced lightly and lowered his head to sip the wine in his glass. Tan Qiu saw the woman's pretty face was flushed, and she looked ashamed, and her heart softened after all, so she used it again. He pushed Jiang Beimu with his elbow.

Jiang Beimu had no choice but to say, "Ruan Yue, take her to Luoxia Xiaozhu and send her to Zhou Zhang."

Tan Qiu was relieved, and when she was about to drink, she didn't hear Ruan Yue's answer. Ruan Yue had been very cautious since entering the mansion, and sometimes Tan Qiu felt that she was too worried and there was no need to be so cautious. It was the first time Tan Qiu saw such a state of being absent-minded and not responding.

"Ruan Yue?" Tan Qiu turned around and saw Ruan Yue holding a wooden tray, standing under the light of the promenade not far away, her eyes fell on the wine cup in her hand, she seemed to be thinking about something, so that she Unable to react.

Tan Qiu sensed something was wrong, and was about to step forward to inquire, when Ruan Yue bluntly raised her head, a little dazed.

"Is the young master calling me?"

"what happened to you?"

Ruan Yue's expression moved slightly, and she coughed lightly, "It's nothing, what's your order?"

Tan Qiu pondered for a while after hearing the words, and smiled: "It's nothing, just take her to Luoxia Xiaozhu, by the way, don't you live in Luoxia Xiaozhu now? My house is Zhouzhang, maybe I need to be wronged You live with her for a while, and tomorrow I will ask the master if I can re-arrange a room for you, so as to save you from being crowded to sleep."

Ruan Yue panicked for a moment, and almost subconsciously rejected Tan Qiu's proposal.

"No, no, no, I just live in a good place, so I don't need to change to other places."

Tan Qiu blinked, almost affirming the thoughts in his heart, and deliberately said: "Living with Zhou Zhang, don't you think he is annoying? He doesn't know how to chat at all, and he will piss him off if you say a few words."

"No." Ruan Yue whispered back, but the words after that were swallowed back, and she refused to say another word.

Tan Qiu turned his head to look at Jiang Beimu, and saw that he was slowly raising his glass to drink by himself, and had no intention of intervening, but he had obviously heard what he said just now, and what he meant now was to let Tan Qiu go by himself Dealing with it, it was obvious that he didn't intend to intervene.

Tan Qiu groaned, and said to Ruan Yue: "Then do this first, send the person there first,"

Ruan Yue smiled, handed the wooden tray to the maid beside her, and walked towards the woman in white with Tan Qiu.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the courtyard." Tan Qiu said briefly, then passed the woman on her own, and walked slowly towards the outside of the courtyard. lips, turned around and left with Tan Qiu, Ruan Yue looked at the woman's graceful figure, a trace of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes, and finally stuck behind the woman, the three of them formed a straight line, each thinking out of the courtyard gate .

As soon as Tan Qiu walked to the corner outside the courtyard, he stopped, and quickly turned around, the cat was in the corner, as if waiting for someone.

Soon, the woman in white came over, seeing Tan Qiu squatting furtively by the side, she was a little puzzled, and was stopped by Tan Qiu before she could open her mouth.

Tan Qiu made a mouth shape and silently asked the woman to come over quickly. When Ruan Yue came over, she saw Tan Qiu squatting at the corner, and the woman stood in the shadow of the corner with a puzzled expression on her face.

Ruan Yue also hid in Tan Qiuyi's gourd painting ladle, and hid in the corner with the woman. The two women did not understand Tan Qiu's plan, but felt that Tan Qiu was ambushing someone. Everyone in the room has gone to the main hall, and the dinner is in full swing, who is Tan Qiu waiting for?

There was silence in the hallway, except for the flickering candle shadow cast by the wind-moving lantern and the rustling sound of leaves.

Tan Qiu stared at the corner intently, as if she was certain that someone would show up again.

Just when Ruan Yue couldn't help asking, two hurried and slightly messy footsteps came from the originally silent corridor, coming in the direction of Tan Qiu!

Ruan Yue closed her mouth instantly, and even slowed down her breathing.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, until it was almost at the corner.

Tan Qiu's muscles tensed up as he stared intently at the mottled figure cast on the ground. As the figure got closer, the footsteps became clearer and clearer.

Until the moment at the corner.

Tan Qiu stood up suddenly, and shouted: "I caught you! Say, follow me|what are you doing!"

A sharp and ear-piercing scream sounded, and the visitor seemed to be quite frightened by Tan Qiu, screaming and backed away several steps, until he bumped into the lacquered mahogany pillar behind him.
