[Comprehensive] Flowers are blooming

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the Xiao family, a black shadow passed by and disappeared quickly.

The lights in Xiao Jingshu's room were always on, reflecting a slender figure.Standing in front of the desk, Xiao Jingshu stared at the secret letter in front of her, feeling her heart tense, wishing to tear the owner of the letter to pieces.She dared to touch an innocent person, and - Xiao Jingyu, she would never let him go so easily.

Walking to the bookcase, moving the vase on the side, a secret door opened, and Xiao Jingshu bent down and walked in.The dark passage gradually became wider. Xiao Jingshu held a candlestick in her hand and walked deep into it. When she reached the end, she lit the candles in the surrounding corners. Xiao Jingshu put the candlestick aside and walked to the stone platform where a box was placed. .

The carvings are simple, and the text on it is not like Chinese characters, but more like a pattern.Xiao Jingshu stared at the box, and after opening it, the contents inside made Xiao Jingshu shake her head and sigh.

If it weren't for such things, the Xiao family would not have fallen into the current situation.

After confirming that the things were still there, Xiao Jingshu went back the same way, turned off the lights, and was just about to put down the candlestick when she turned around to put down the candlestick. A dagger lay across her throat. At the corner of his mouth, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know what that means."

"thing."

"What? You broke into the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, looking for something? Could it be a flower picker who has not yet been caught by Wulin Zhengdao?" The candlestick in Xiao Jingshu's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The masked man twisted Xiao Jingshu's neck, and said ruthlessly, "Xiao Jingshu, don't be ignorant, tell me quickly, where is the thing?"

"Things? Okay, let me tell you—I don't know how to lift things!" Xiao Jingshu raised her leg and kicked the other party's knee, and drew out the soft sword at her waist. Seeing the other party's surprised face, she smiled charmingly, and said with her red lips: "Could it be Do you think I'll let you get out of here alive?"

She can do more than whip.

The masked man knew that he had lost his chance, so he turned around and wanted to escape. How could Xiao Jingshu let the opponent go, pointing his toes, catching up, stabbing the opponent's upper arm, and then using his strength to move forward, the sword body and the opponent Xiao Jingshu frowned, and when the opponent was about to break through the window, the sword in his hand pierced straight into the heart.

It is impossible to escape.

Before the masked man died, his eyes were wide open, his face was in disbelief, the black on his chest was gradually soaked in blood, and the color became darker.Xiao Jingshu retracted the sword, took a piece of cloth casually, wiped the blade clean, and glanced at the corpse on the ground with disdain.

"Come out."

"Worthy of being the number one master and number one beauty in Yunzhou." The man's voice was like the sound of fine jade objects touching each other, and he slowly walked out of the dark. The eyes are narrow and long, the lips are thin and the nose is high, and the pupils are blue.

Xiao Jingshu snorted coldly, as if she wasn't surprised by the man's appearance, and said, "Get rid of the corpse, I don't want to see it again, it's disgusting."

"The three people in your mansion are not easy to deal with." The man walked behind Xiao Jingshu, said in a frivolous tone, and blew lightly in Xiao Jingshu's ear.

Xiao Jingshu frowned slightly, turned to stare at the man and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, just to remind you, don't forget who you are, your identity and your responsibilities." The man glanced at Xiao Jingshu, stepped forward, put his arms around Xiao Jingshu's waist, leaned over and kissed her on the lips After a while, he left quickly, ignoring Xiao Jingshu's angry expression, "Remember, you won't be so lucky next time."

"Get lost!" Xiao Jingshu said coldly, pursing her lips and controlling her anger.

The smile on the corner of the man's lips deepened, he bent over and carried the corpse, and disappeared into the darkness.Xiao Jingshu, who was standing there, thought about what happened just now, threw the cloth in her hand on the ground, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took a while to calm down the anger in her chest, she flicked off the light, and lay down on the bed.

Xiao Jingyu, I will protect you even if I do my best.

On the second day, the snow was still heavy, and Xiao Jingshu came out of the yard wrapped in a cloak. As she walked, she could see the long whip pinned to her waist.Seeing Xiao Jingshu's attire, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou knew that she was going to the appointment to rescue Xiao Jingyu.

but--

"You two big men are not as straightforward as I am. Jingyu doesn't know how to work hard. If he falls into the opponent's hands, he will definitely suffer. If I go, maybe I can get away."

"You woman, you are really not polite at all, modest."

"What are these things used for? Well, Lu Xiaofeng, you better take care of yourself, I'm leaving." Xiao Jingshu walked to the door, and the servant had already led the horse and waited. Seeing Xiao Jingshu appear, he stepped forward and handed the reins to Xiao Jingshu.

Xiao Jingshu glanced at the two people who came out, and naturally realized that Li Xunhuan was missing, so she patted the horse's neck without asking, turned over and got on the horse, saying: "... Lu Xiaofeng, we will meet later."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou was taken aback, Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lips and remained silent.

That night, Xiao Jingyu, who stood on the eaves, dressed in red like fire, with long hair flying behind him, was engraved in his memory.The eyes that refused to admit defeat really resembled this person's personality.

After taking a deep look at Lu Xiaofeng, Xiao Jingshu pulled the reins and rode away.

"Thinking about what?"

"Wherever Lu Xiaofeng goes, people will fall in love with them willingly." Hua Manlou's teasing words made Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smile, and walked inside.

"It's a pity that the blooming of a hundred flowers is not as good as the flowers in the south of the Yangtze River."

"You are arrogant and not humble at all."

In the afternoon, Xiao Jingyu appeared at the door of Xiao's house facing the snow and wind, and the Xiao family's family members rushed to meet him, for fear that Xiao Jingyu would fall down.Xiao Jingyu, whose face was pale and bloodstained, was brought to the front hall. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou who came over heard the sound, and frowned when they smelled the smell of blood in the air.

The expression on Xiao Jingyu's face made people feel distressed. When he saw Huamanlou at first sight, his eyes moved, and he threw himself into Huamanlou's arms.

Hua Manlou frowned uncomfortably when he smelled the pungent smell, but was startled by Xiao Jingyu's soft sobs, and didn't know where to put his hands.

"Those people, those people—"

"Uncle Li, please ask someone to prepare some hot water. Jingyu wants to wash it well." Hua Manlou said, "Have you seen Miss Xiao?"

Xiao Jingyu raised his head, his eyes were red, he shook his head and said, "No, I was locked in a dark room, and they would bring people into the room to kill every hour, and the ground was covered with blood..."

The horrible memory made Xiao Jingyu tremble uncontrollably, Hua Manlou patted him on the back comfortingly and said, "Take a good rest, you'll be fine now that you're back."

"Brother Hua, just now you said, sister, what's wrong with sister?"

"Stinky boy, of course your sister is going to deal with business. Could it be that she is missing like you? Go wash up, you are filthy." Lu Xiaofeng interjected at the right time, and the servants at the side all understood and continued with the matter in hand.

Xiao Jingyu must not be told about Xiao Jingshu.

Uncle Li took the doubtful Xiao Jingyu to take a shower and change clothes, while Hua Manlou frowned, walking side by side with Lu Xiaofeng on the way back to the yard.He seemed to smell something just now, and he had a very strange feeling.

"Worried about that kid?"

"Lu Xiaofeng." Hua Manlou said helplessly.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his two mustaches, although he couldn't see it, but based on his feeling, he could not go wrong with Huamanlou, but... what he cared about was not this, but that kid Xiao Jingyu hugging Huamanlou so blatantly Lou, really—unforgivable.

"You didn't let me hug you like this."

"He's just a child." For a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, Lu Xiaofeng would think so, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

"Well, it's just a child."

The faint smell of vinegar made Hua Manlou's lips curl up involuntarily.Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, but could feel the change in Huamanlou's mood.Perhaps because he couldn't see, all other senses became extra sensitive.

When the two returned to the courtyard, they thought of Li Xunhuan who left this morning.

Li Xun Huan's always-on jug was filled with high-quality Nurhong, and a man in a white cloak was sitting in a tea shed ten miles outside of Yunzhou, with a bowl of hot tea in front of him, and two people carrying bundles beside him. pedestrian.

The winter night came very early, the tea shed was closed, Li Xunhuan led the horse and walked out, his eyes were as calm as water, like ordinary passers-by walking on a snow-covered path, gradually, only a piece of white snow can be seen.Li Xun Huan got on his horse and continued walking, humming an unknown tune.

In the distance, a convoy came from far to near, and the person at the head saw Li Xun Huan, frowned and said, "Young Master in front, can you let everyone go, we are busy delivering goods to people."

Li Xun Huan turned back on his horse, stopped humming, nodded, and walked to the side.

"Thank you, sir. I don't know where you are going at night? We are the owner's order and we have to send the goods out. Why are you traveling at night?" The big man couldn't see Li Xun Huan's appearance clearly, he only saw a pair of unusually bright clothes. eyes.

"Quiet."

"Young master is really weird, let's take a step first." The big man clasped his fists to signal Li Xun Huan and said, "What are you doing, hurry up, the goods must be delivered before dawn!"

Li Xunhuan watched the convoy leave with a flash of clarity in his eyes - the one who could arrive before dawn, if he did not miscalculate, should be Shuanghe Town.

The Xiao family is in Shuanghe Town, does anyone have business contacts?

Thinking of this, he pulled the reins closer, and after the convoy disappeared from sight, Li Xunhuan turned his horse's head and took a small road to Shuanghe Town.If the three of them were not mistaken, the murderer who killed Xiao Yuanshan and Dugu Xiaoxiao all had their source in Shuanghe Town.

A ray of light gradually appeared in the sky. Standing on the road outside Shuanghe Town, Li Xunhuan caught a glimpse of a stone tablet. He stepped forward, dropped something, and walked inside.

It is inconvenient to move around with the clothes on his body, so he has to change.
