Twilight Cloud Returns

The man in black put Xue Wanjun in a sack, and carried it all the way to the inaccessible Town God's Temple in the west of the city with light kung fu.

Arriving at the destination, the man in black put down the sack, and immediately noticed someone following him.

He drew out his long knife, turned around and stabbed at the man.

Wei Guoan leaned over to avoid the sharp blade, and fought with the man in black with his bare hands in the dilapidated Town God's Temple, fanning the decaying air around him.

The man in black has a strong figure, and his moves look like he has been formally trained, not for a self-taught self-taught man like Wei Guoan.

Wei Guoan didn't wear a sword when he went out this time, so he was a little disadvantaged in the contest.

The two were fighting indiscriminately, when Xue Wanjun just woke up, the back of her neck was still aching.

She had never seen someone wield such a fast knife, it was killing people!

Xue Wanjun screamed subconsciously: "Be careful!"

The man in black saw that the hostage had woken up, and Cheng Yaojin, who had been killed halfway, could not get rid of it. His exposed eyes were immediately stained with anger, and he had to jump out of the window and escape.

Wei Guoan wanted to continue chasing, but remembered that there was another girl who was injured, so he had to give up, and immediately helped Xue Wanjun up, worried: "Has the girl ever been injured?"

Xue Wanjun looked at the handsome man in front of her who rescued her, and she lowered her head shyly, and said softly: "Thank you benefactor for saving me, my little girl is fine."

Wei Guoan looked down at the woman beside him. Even though her face was stained with dust, she couldn't hide her clean water lotus-like face. An inexplicable throbbing spread in her heart...

Wei Guoan could only hear the beating of his heart hidden in his chest. He forcibly suppressed it, calmed down and said, "Girl, why don't I take you back to the city?"

When Xue Wanjun came to the capital for the first time, she was naturally not familiar with the roads, and after being frightened by this, she already trusted Wei Guoan very much, and said gratefully: "Then there will be Mr. Lao En."

Her tender and beautiful eyes broke into Wei Guoan's heart unexpectedly, and he felt his heart skip a beat.

Wei Guoan walked out of the Town God's Temple dully as if his soul had been snatched away.

The west of the city is far away from Zhuque Street, Wei Guoan knows martial arts, and he didn't feel tired after following the man in black before.

Xue Wanjun has never practiced martial arts before, so at such a distance, her feet hurt endlessly.

She gritted her teeth and insisted that it was a blessing to be rescued by the benefactor, and she must not show any discomfort in front of the benefactor to cause trouble.

But the road is not lonely, Xue Wanjun never expected that Engong, a martial arts practitioner, also read through poetry and songs, the two chatted all the way, and gradually became familiar with each other.

By the time they reached Zhuque Street, the night had already enveloped them deeply.Candles were lit from house to house in the street.

A few naughty little children were obsessed with having fun, playing cuju games, and the bamboo ball on their feet accidentally lost its direction and came towards Xue Wanjun's back.

Wei Guoan subconsciously pulled her into his arms, and quickly swung the bamboo ball in the wrong direction, so as not to hurt the girl.At the same time, the begonia rouge wrapped in a handkerchief on Xue Wanjun's body slipped from her sleeve following this movement.

Xue Wanjun was in shock.

Amidst the flow of people, she was protected in the arms of a strange man whom she had only known for a couple of hours, and her pink face was instantly dyed a peach-like crimson color.

There is an indescribable sense of security in his sudden embrace, as if everything can be saved as long as he is there.

Xue Wanjun quietly gave birth to a little girl's thoughts from the bottom of her heart...

Wei Guoan said relaxedly: "It's all right..." After finishing speaking, he realized that the woman who hadn't left the court was actually pulled into his arms by him. It was really offensive!

He let go instantly, his face was even redder than Xue Wanjun's, and he said incoherently: "Girl...I'm not...I didn't..."

The more you explain, the more confusing it becomes.

Wei Guoan, who has always been articulate, seemed to be choked by someone at this time, and he couldn't express a complete sentence.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Xue Wanjun couldn't help smiling, and said: "Don't worry about your benefactor, my daughter knows that your benefactor saved my daughter once again."

Wei Guoan's hanging heart was finally let go, he sneaked a glance at Xue Wanjun, and he didn't know where he had such courage, and asked without thinking: "Girl, can you tell me your name?"

After all, he felt that he was being abrupt.

I only heard Xue Wanjun say generously: "My little girl, the small character Tang'er, is the Tang of Haitang. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to know..."

Before the words "Engong's name" could be uttered, I saw a servant running in panic from a distance, with an anxious expression on his face: "Master, I have found you! The second master has been waiting for you at the mansion for a long time!"

As soon as he heard that Ah Zhong had left the palace, Wei Guoan was overjoyed, and rushed back to the Wei residence like the wind on his feet.

Over there, Su Xin followed the yamen servants to arrest the police, almost turned the capital upside down, searched for her young lady's whereabouts, and finally saw the young lady who was stunned in place.

She hugged Xue Wanjun and cried: "Miss...Suxin finally found you...Master is going to die of anxiety in the posthouse..."

The yamen servants following behind finally took a breath, as long as the high official's daughter is found...

Xue Wanjun's gaze still reluctantly stayed on the back of Wei Guoan, who had long since disappeared, and she was pulled back to the station by Su Xin.

The young man who came out to look for Wei Guoan saw that the master was walking so fast, he wanted to chase after he just started, but he tripped over an unknown object at the bottom of his feet.

He looked down and saw that it was a box of rouge and gouache.

The boy picked up the rouge and the handkerchief, presumably it was the girl who talked to the master just now.

He turned around to return it to the girl, but unexpectedly, the girl disappeared too.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll leave it to the master, and let the master give it back to the girl, maybe it can lead to a good relationship!" The young man muttered, and walked towards Wei's mansion.

When Xue Wanjun returned to the post house, her feet could no longer support her, and she fell on the bed.

Su Xin took off her shoes and socks for her, and seeing blisters of various sizes all over the soles of her feet, she said distressedly: "Miss, the soles of your feet..."

But Xue Wanjun said joyfully: "These blisters are the red thread in Yuelao's hands!"

Su Xin shook her head helplessly, and said to herself: Miss, she was tied up by gangsters and confused...

She served Xue Wanjun to bed, searched the dress for a long time, but couldn't find the rouge bought by Miss Today, and asked: "Miss, where is your rouge? Su Xin put it in the dowry box for you."

Xue Wanjun searched for a long time, but failed, and said: "I think I left it on the road... Forget it, I will buy it later..."

After all, rouge is not important anymore...

Wei House.

When Wei Guoan hurried back to the mansion, Xiao Zhongzi had already rushed back to the palace.

He left a note, which said: Elder brother, brother is well in the palace, don't worry about it.

Wei Guoan let out a sigh of relief, as long as Ah Zhong is safe in the palace, he can feel at ease outside the palace.

He asked the servant girl beside him: "Did the second master bring lotus seed cake for him when he left?"

The servant girl replied deftly: "I dare not forget the servant girl I ordered, and watched the second master take it away with my own eyes."

"That's good, brother likes this lotus seed cake the most..."

At this time, the boy came in, saluted, put the rouge wrapped in a handkerchief in front of Wei Guoan, and said: "Master, this is what the girl left behind today, and the little one brought it back..."

The servant girl had sharp eyes and said, "Master, this handkerchief is still embroidered by Suzhou!"

Wei Guoan didn't understand, and asked, "What is Suzhou embroidery?"

Maid: "Su embroidery is a popular weaving method in the south of the Yangtze River. It has lively patterns and elegant colors. All women in the capital are proud of wearing Su embroidery clothes!"

Jiangnan?

He rubbed the silk handkerchief repeatedly, and there was a blooming crabapple embroidered in one corner, and he suddenly remembered the girl with a closed moon and shy flowers who said in a gentle voice: "Little girl, small word Tanger, the begonia's begonia."

Is she from Jiangnan?

Wei Guoan looked down at the box of rouge exuding the fragrance of crabapple, and a touch of lovesickness involuntarily floated to the corner of his lips...

Cloud Palace.

Gu Xiaorui reported to the two masters who were playing chess: "My lord, I have been found. Around [-]:[-], I found Miss Xue on Zhuque Street."

"Miss Xue claimed that she was beaten unconscious by a gangster in black and brought her to the Temple of the City God. A man rescued her. Governor Xue saw that her daughter had been found, so he didn't ask any further questions. Mr. Jing Zhao Yinliang didn't pursue her further."

As soon as Yun Chuxiu waved his hand, Gu Xiaorui went down knowingly.

He looked at the chess game in front of him. This time, he must not be distracted by Ah Qing again. Whether he can make Ah Qing twist his upper waist tonight depends on whether he can win this game.

Wuqing is now so regretful that his intestines are green!

How could he be led into the trap by Yun Zhi, who is naturally talkative?

Wuqing remembered that after dinner, Zhi Huanfei yelled for another game.

Playing chess was fine, he still coaxed himself to ask for a lottery.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "If I win, from now on, don't talk to me anymore."

After I finished speaking, I regretted it. In my impression, this person has never fulfilled such a promise.

He wanted to change it immediately, but he was blocked by the knowledge: "The words spoken are like a settled chess game, and you cannot go back on your word."

Wuqing had no choice but to say: "Okay, it's up to you."

I saw Yun Chuxiu with a smirk that was so familiar to Wuqing that he couldn't be more familiar with it, and said in a serious way: "Then I want you to be on the table tonight..."

"What?" Wuqing didn't realize what Zhihuan said at first, but seeing his malicious appearance, Wuqing suddenly understood, and became angry from embarrassment, "You! How can you use such an elegant chess game? Do you want to get a lottery?"

Yun Chuxiu rascal said: "We call it enjoying the pleasure of the boudoir! Besides, I have agreed to all your requests, and you have to agree to mine. The monks have returned to the vulgar, and they should be more faithful than ordinary people!"

Wu Qingzhen was really afraid of his eloquent mouth, with reluctance written all over his face, he started the "life and death" chess game tonight.

Seeing that Wuqing was about to lose, he was quick to think, and deliberately brought up Gu Xiaorui's report just now, and said, "Know it, don't you think it's strange that Miss Xue was robbed today?"

Yun Chuxiu focused all her attention on the chessboard, and said casually, "What do you think?"

Wuqing clamped Bai Zi with both fingers, and said: "According to common sense, if the daughter is kidnapped, the father will definitely find out the murderer, but this matter seems to end with Miss Xue's safe return. Not only Xue Governor will not pursue , even Mr. Liang no longer let the servants investigate, as if it is against common sense..."

Yun Chuxiu was attracted by his remarks, and said in surprise: "It seems that Xiao Ah Qing didn't spend time reading "Warring States Policy" in the study..."

He asked back: "Do you know what imperial decree the Holy Majesty made on the post where all the officials stayed?"

Wuqing shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Yun Chuxiu's attention was successfully diverted by Wuqing, and he continued: "The Holy Majesty, in the name of the impending visit of the Xiongnu Shanyu and the Holy Maiden, decreed to strictly watch all the post and inn in the capital, so as not to mix in with interested people. , in an attempt to undermine the hard-won peace between the two countries."
