Maung-mei is wrong
Chapter 38 Night Detective
Now that the matter has come to this point, Nie Yunhan can't hide even if he wants to, so he can only jump off the roof in resentment.
Compared to him, Zhuo Yingxian was even more embarrassed. Thinking that Miao Sheng might have seen through his hypocrisy just now, he felt ashamed.
Miao Sheng turned a blind eye to his embarrassment, and didn't mind Nie Yunhan's transgression. He walked up to them and apologized to the two of them: "It's my negligence. I should have brought Xiao Xian'er and Mr. Nie to the courtyard just now. Go around and get acquainted with the environment here."
Nie Yunhan looked at him, and felt that this man was indeed beautiful, walking like a moving scroll, just seeing him smile, as if all the worries in the world could disappear.
There is no emotion in speech and demeanor, always elegant, always decent, but it also makes people feel that the city is quite deep, and no one can see what is the sincerity under the skin of others.
For those who can play well in this business, good looks are naturally an advantage. Coupled with being good at attacking the heart, it is no wonder that Fengyue can manage Fengyue very well.
Nie Yunhan pretended to be curious: "How does Mr. Miao know we are here?"
Miao Sheng laughed and said, "Just now when the handyman said he went to your courtyard and found no one there, I guessed that you might... came out to appreciate my courtyard, so I hurried over to be a guide."
These words were Tai Chi again, and did not answer Nie Yunhan's question.
Zhuo Yingxian blushed, but insisted on saying "lost": "Brother Miao, I'm sorry, we are actually lost."
Nie Yunhan sang a bad face, and naturally stood aside with his arms folded, muttering, "Is this enough to get me lost?"
Miao Sheng keenly noticed that Zhuo Yingxian's address to him had changed, and smiled lightly: "It's getting late today, let's go eat first. Tomorrow will be bright, so we can go to the garden to see the scenery."
Zhuo Yingxian was thinking about Nie Yunhan saying that he would "get tough", and he didn't know what he was going to do, fearing that he would turn his face on the spot, so he couldn't help but secretly glanced at him.
Nie Yunhan's face was like a book. It was covered with dark clouds just a moment ago. Hearing what Miao Sheng said, he turned to a brighter side. He walked over and put his shoulders on his shoulders without hesitation. He said like an old friend, "Thank you, Mr. Miao. With warm hospitality, I'll let us, A Xian, take it all in!"
When the three of them entered the dining room, they saw a small figure rushing over, hugged Zhuo Yingxian's waist with a "plop", and shouted happily: "Brother Yingxian! Are you hungry? The bone-in abalone made by our cook." The snails are delicious, come and try them.”
Nie Yunhan stood aside and joked: "Little short leg, don't you have to ask your father and me first about eating?"
"Since you call yourself my father, you are a family, so what else is there to see?" You Xiao looked up at Zhuo Yingxian, "Brother Yingxian is my future uncle, and now he is a distinguished guest, of course we must treat him well! "
Miao Sheng put away the folding fan and lightly tapped on the top of You Xiao's head: "What kind of uncle, what kind of father, you don't recognize your birth, one uncle is not enough, do you want to have four generations under one roof?"
"Children's words are innocent and harmless." Zhuo Yingxian rubbed the top of You Xiao's hair with a very gentle expression.
He just listened to Nie Yunhan talk about You Xiao's experience, and he felt a lot more about this child. Maybe this little guy was so anxious to find a lover for his uncle because of his filial piety, and because he wanted to have a family too much.
"For some reason, Xiao Xian'er and A-Xian are quite congenial. I told him the origin of the name just now, and he feels closer to A-Xian." Miao Sheng said with a wry smile, "A-Xian, this child was manipulated by me. Broken, talking nonsense all day, I hope you will forgive me a lot."
Zhuo Ying smiled casually: "Just because we both have the same baby name, I also regard him as my own nephew."
Nie Yunhan rolled his eyes and thought, he should be called nephew.
Although there were only three adults and one child eating together, the banquet was quite sumptuous. There was a large table full of beautiful things in eyes, and the delicious food and utensils looked very pleasing to the eye.
You Xiao couldn't stop adding food to Zhuo Yingxian's plate, Nie Yunhan saw that this child was really a pain in the ass, fearing that he was busy taking care of others and forgot to eat by himself, so he also picked food for him.
The three of them formed a string, and they looked quite harmonious, like a family. Miao Sheng watched from the sidelines, and looked at this scene, but he looked like an outsider.
During this meal, Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian tacitly agreed, no one asked about Zuo Hengqiu's whereabouts, and Miao Sheng naturally wouldn't mention it, the dinner was just a temptation to come and go, and at the same time chat about some old things casually.
The people who come out of this place where fish and dragons are mixed are no worse than red boas. Nie Yunhan has met his opponent this time. Whether he is watching the words or making side attacks, he can't find any flaws in Miao Sheng. He is really a little impatient.
Calculated by time, Zuo Hengqiu and others have been in Wulingdu for two days, and they don't know when they were arrested and whether they are safe now.
I knew this trip would not go well, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.Chahaqin's whereabouts have not yet been clued, and all his own people folded in first, and he lost all the face of the majestic red anaconda!
Zhuo Yingxian sensed Nie Yunhan's uneasiness and decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Miao Sheng no matter what, but he excused that it was getting late and said he wanted to go back to rest so that he could find a chance to meet Miao Sheng in private.
Nie Yunhan has long been impatient with this meaningless dinner, he was thinking about how to visit this house quietly at night, so he pretended to yawn, and said that he was really tired from the long journey, so he might as well rest early.
Naturally, Miao Sheng followed good example and told Uncle Guang to take away You Xiao who was clamoring to hang out with Zhuo Ying, and then ordered the servants to send the two young masters back to their room with a lamp.
Nie Yunhan stepped out of the hall first, Zhuo Yingxian looked back at Miao Sheng, and was thinking about how to ask him to have an evening talk, but Miao Sheng took the initiative to say: "Ah Xian, I've been tired these days, let's rest earlier."
In this case, Zhuo Yingxian had nothing to say, so he said goodnight to Miao Sheng, and went back to the guest room with Nie Yunhan.
In front of the miscellaneous servants of the Miao Mansion, the two of them were inconvenient to say anything, they went back to their respective houses, and the lights in the two wing rooms were almost turned off one after the other.
At the beginning of the appointment, all the people in the courtyard had already rested, and when the whole courtyard fell into silence, Nie Yunhan covered himself with a black face scarf, pushed open the window of the room, and jumped out without a sound.
He jumped onto the big tree next to him two or three times, climbed on the tree and looked towards the forest garden in the southwest corner, just when he had calculated the route and planned to go there to discuss what happened, when he lowered his eyes, he saw Zhuo Yingxian also coming out of the room .
The boy looked a little sneaky, and he deliberately stretched his head to see if the light in his room was on. Seeing the darkness, he seemed relieved, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Zhuo Yingxian was thinking about how to find Miao Sheng, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left the small courtyard, he asked someone to cover his mouth to stop him, and leaned against the courtyard wall.
The two hid in the shadow of the courtyard wall, and Nie Yunhan whispered, "It's me."
Zhuo Yingxian nodded, and waited for him to let go of his hand before saying: "It smells."
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Nie Yunhan scolded, "Didn't you say that you don't need to talk at night by holding a candle?"
"You have to try. If you're not around, maybe he can reveal a thing or two." Zhuo Yingxian looked at his attire and wondered, "Did you find anything suspicious on the roof before? It's just that you are going to spy at night, and I will go to night." Let's talk to help you divert your attention."
Nie Yunhan pondered for a moment: "Go as you go, but remember not to be greedy for merit, and come back as soon as you can't ask anything. Mr. Miao seems to have a lot of secrets, and the friendship between the two of you for several months may not be worth his sacrifice."
Zhuo Yingxian nodded and said, "Understood."
"Do you still remember my whistle? If there is anything, I will use this whistle to contact you. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the whistle. If you hear it, go back to your room." Nie Yunhan gave him a deep look, "Be careful in everything."
"You too."
The two bid farewell, Zhuo Yingxian didn't know where Miao Sheng's wing was, so he called the handyman who patrolled the courtyard to lead the way, which seemed to be a good time to divert the obstacles for Nie Yunhan.
Nie Yunhan watched the two go away from the tree, then jumped onto the nearby roof, and ran away to the southwest corner without making a sound.
The handyman leading the way seemed unwilling, as if there were sores on the soles of his feet, he took a step slower, and persuaded him as he walked: "Mr. Zhuo, the master should have rested at this time. If there is anything, why not talk about it tomorrow. ?”
Zhuo Ying calmly said, "Brother Xiaosheng and I used to fall asleep when we were young, this time it's just to relive old dreams, he will definitely not annoy me, don't worry, if he blames you, I will intercede for you .”
The handyman looked bitter, seeing that he couldn't persuade the master no matter what, so he had to take him to the yard where Miao Sheng lived.
Before getting close, Zhuo Yingxian heard the faint sound of silk strings coming from the yard, and said with a smile: "I know he didn't go to bed so early."
He sent away the handyman who led the way, entered the yard and went outside Miao Sheng's room, and saw a figure projected on the window, accompanied by the sound of Yaoqin that was as vast as a distant mountain, this shadow seemed extremely lonely for no reason.
Zhuo Yingxian knocked lightly on the door: "Brother Xiaosheng?"
The sound of the piano stopped, and the people in the room were stunned for a moment before saying: "Ah Xian? Come in."
Zhuo Yingxian pushed the door open and went in, seeing Miao Sheng with loose hair, wearing a robe, sitting by the piano stage, looking at himself lazily, under the dim candlelight, that flawless face was even more shockingly beautiful , but inexplicably made him feel alienated and indifferent.
Suddenly everything he wanted to say in his heart was suppressed, but seeing Miao Sheng looking at him leisurely, he said an embarrassingly polite sentence: "I haven't seen you for many years, and your piano skills are still so good."
Miao Sheng slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Sit down."
Seeing Zhuo Ying leisurely sitting cross-legged across from him, Miao Sheng laughed again: "Why, Mr. Nie is not here, and you are willing to call me brother Xiao Sheng again?"
The tone of these words was quite narrow, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help his ears burning, he was thinking about how to ask a question, but he didn't know how to respond to this ridicule.
"That's what you called me when you were young. After all, your status and status are different now, so it's inconvenient for people to call you that."
"Oh?" Miao Sheng looked at him with a half-smile, "So it's for me."
Zhuo Yingxian said helplessly: "Stop making fun of me, I can't beat you."
"But I remember that when you were young, you were obviously a sharp-tongued child, not much less than You Xiao, and you have been beaten a lot for this matter."
"Compared to you, I'm far behind." Zhuo Yingxian calmed down and decided to break the window paper. Anyway, Miao Sheng could guess his reason for coming, "Brother Xiao Sheng, I..."
"Don't ask, I won't tell you." Miao Sheng lowered his eyes, picked up the handkerchief that was put aside, and gently wiped the Yaoqin in front of him.
Zhuo Yingxian frowned: "What did Brother Zuo do to offend you?"
"He didn't offend me, it's because they shouldn't be in Wulingdu."
"They?" Zhuo Yingxian's heart skipped a beat, "They are all in your hands? Do you know who they are?"
Miao Sheng didn't answer his question, but slowly put down the veil, and looked at him meaningfully: "Xiao Xian'er, I heard you have been living in a Taoist temple for these years, why did you get involved with these people?"
,
Although this house is big, but I don't know if the owner is too confident, or there is a guard house hidden outside the wall, but there are no patrolling people in the house. Nie Yunhan skimmed over the rows of roofs lightly, very He was approaching the southwest corner, and as he had expected, it was indeed a forest.
On the whole, this forest is just a corner of a private garden. The other side opposite to the trees is a rockery lake. There is also an exquisite and small lake pavilion in the lake. It makes people feel a little deserted and weird for no reason.
Nie Yunhan didn't have the time to appreciate the garden, so he first escaped into the woods next to the wall, and under the cover of trees, he searched the ground almost inch by inch, but found nothing suspicious.
Coming out of the woods, he walked along the stone platform to the Huxin Pavilion. Anyway, he would definitely have to turn over the house tonight before giving up.
The inner distance of the Huxin Pavilion is about one zhang, which is not very big, and it is a good place to watch the scenery.The ground inside the pavilion is round, embedded with square colored painted floor tiles, and the black paint is so black that you can't tell what kind of pattern it is.
Nie Yunhan squatted on the ground, groping with his hands little by little, and suddenly touched the cracks in the floor tiles, his mind was moved, and then he took out his torch, twisted out the darkest light, and looked at the cracks in the floor tiles.
"Hmph, worm-carving trick!"
Then he cast his gaze around, and used a fire-fold to illuminate the surrounding railings. After some exploration, he found a slightly loose pole, held it with his hand, and turned it lightly——
There was a "rumbling" sound on the ground in the pavilion, and the painted floor tiles were gradually moved away. After a while, a hole that could allow one person to pass through flashed out!
Guan Shan is good at tricks. Although Nie Yunhan is not very familiar with it, he understands it better than others. This type of tricks is really common, so naturally he can't hide it from his eyes.
Miao Sheng built the secret room under the lake, which is considered clever.
Nie Yunhan turned on the torch in his hand, and walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave.
The secret room built at the bottom of the lake seems to be well ventilated, the air smells clean and there is no peculiar smell.He thought of the lotus flowers blooming on the lake, and there must have been ventilation ducts mixed in.
Nie Yunhan held his breath, controlled his breath, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the secret room, but he didn't notice any living things, and his mood sank instantly after discovering the mechanism.
Since no one was there, he turned the light of Huozhezi to the maximum, and he could clearly see the structure of this secret room.
An ordinary big room, but it was built smoothly and openly. There are several thick iron nails nailed on the wall. Each iron nail is tied with an iron chain as thick as a child's arm, winding on the ground like a snake.
In addition, there are standing cages, falling stones, "two dragons spit beards" and other objects beside them. The wood of the utensils is mottled, all stained by years of blood.
Nie Yunhan is very familiar with these, all of them are the cruelest instruments of torture, and he doesn't know that Miao Sheng, the boss of a romantic place, what's the use of building such an underground torture room?
Could it be that the struggle between power factions in Wulingdu City has reached this point?
Nie Yunhan looked carefully along the corner of the wall. At the end of the secret room, there were several rows of black cabinets standing against the wall, which were not locked.
He opened a door and brought the fire folder closer, and saw that there were some miscellaneous things in it, some were weapons, some were hidden weapons, and some belongings of unknown persons, which looked like they were searched from the bodies of the prisoners. from.
Thinking of this, Nie Yunhan's thoughts suddenly moved, and he quickly opened the remaining cabinet doors. In the last cabinet, he found a package he was familiar with. He opened it and looked at it, looking for shadows, magnets, iron ears, etc.—— Brother Zuo was indeed imprisoned here!
,
Now that Miao Sheng knew who Nie Yunhan and the others were, Zhuo Yingxian stopped playing around with him, put his hands on the piano platform, leaned forward, and fixed his eyes on Miao Sheng.
"Brother Xiaosheng, what do you really know?"
Miao Sheng still avoided talking, stood up and went to the window, opened the window, looked at the moon outside: "Since you still call me that, just listen to me. No matter how much you like it, stay away from Mr. Nie, he A good guy, but not a good match."
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and a tingling look crossed his face.
Zhuo Yingxian also got up and followed him closely, with a sincere expression: "Since you care about me, stop avoiding my questions. Don't just tell me how to do it, tell me why!"
Miao Sheng focused on appreciating the moonlight, not knowing where her thoughts went.
"Brother Xiaosheng, you...do you have any difficulties?" Zhuo Yingxian held his shoulder, feeling that it was thin, and said worriedly, "We haven't seen each other for many years, maybe each of us has changed, But no matter what you have experienced later, childhood friends are always the most precious. You are good for me, and I will naturally miss you. It is obviously not right for you to be like this now-I wonder if you have any other friends who can confide in you. If you trust me, why not talk to me."
After a moment of silence, Miao Sheng smiled silently, and lovingly stroked Zhuo Yingxian's hair, just like before, with the expression like looking at a child.
"Who doesn't have a few troubles, what is there to talk about, mine are nothing to worry about. But Xiao Xian'er, your brother Han has enmity with Duyu people, do you know about this?"
After hearing this, Zhuo Yingxian felt relieved: "I know."
Seeing that the other party looked surprised, he briefly explained the reason why he saved the master. After listening, Miao Sheng said lightly: "So that's how it is. I thought you were with Mr. Nie because of your deep friendship with Mr. Nie." come out."
Friendship is very deep?Someone is deliberately alienating me now.Zhuo Yingxian was annoyed when he thought of this, but he couldn't help thinking about it, and wondered if Brother Han had found anything during his night inspection.
He said sullenly and perfunctorily: "There is not such a deep friendship."
Miao Sheng turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at him with folded arms: "In this case, you should leave him."
"Of course not, I have to save Master!" Zhuo Yingxian asked eagerly, "Did the Duyu people want you to arrest Brother Zuo and the others? They really reached into Wulingdu, and we also found a clue I just came here..."
"Save what master?!" Miao Sheng interrupted blankly, without even asking what the clue was. "It is true that the old Taoist saved you, but he didn't have any good intentions. Besides, you took care of me. For ten years, his kindness has been repaid!"
"That can't be done. It's a fact that Master has saved my life, and I should repay it. If you are in another place and something happens to you, You Xiao will definitely not just sit idly by!"
When mentioning You Xiao, Miao Sheng's expression was awe-inspiring for a moment, Zhuo Yingxian was about to continue asking, but he heard a burst of eager footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door.
"Master! It's not good!" It was Uncle Guang's voice.
Miao Sheng was still calm and calm: "Come in."
Uncle Guang pushed the door open, panting, and seemed to be running all the way from the door: "A group of people suddenly surrounded the courtyard wall with malicious intentions, and only one guard outside ran back to report that they had quilt……"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Yingxian heard the sound of "嗖嗖", instinctively stretched out his hand, and pulled Miao Sheng away from the window, narrowly avoiding an incoming arrow.
The arrow hit the bookcase with a "bang", the arrow was on fire, maybe it was still stained with kerosene, and the momentum was so fierce that the tongue of fire immediately licked the books on the cabinet.
And outside the window, countless flaming arrows shot into the house, as if the fire fell from the sky, and the originally silent mansion soon fell into a sea of flames!
The author has something to say:
Miao is always the ceiling of this article~
Compared to him, Zhuo Yingxian was even more embarrassed. Thinking that Miao Sheng might have seen through his hypocrisy just now, he felt ashamed.
Miao Sheng turned a blind eye to his embarrassment, and didn't mind Nie Yunhan's transgression. He walked up to them and apologized to the two of them: "It's my negligence.

Miao Sheng slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Sit down."
Seeing Zhuo Ying leisurely sitting cross-legged across from him, Miao Sheng laughed again: "Why, Mr. Nie is not here, and you are willing to call me brother Xiao Sheng again?"
The tone of these words was quite narrow, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help his ears burning, he was thinking about how to ask a question, but he didn't know how to respond to this ridicule.
"That's what you called me when you were young. After all, your status and status are different now, so it's inconvenient for people to call you that."
"Oh?" Miao Sheng looked at him with a half-smile, "So it's for me."
Zhuo Yingxian said helplessly: "Stop making fun of me, I can't beat you."
"But I remember that when you were young, you were obviously a sharp-tongued child, not much less than You Xiao, and you have been beaten a lot for this matter."
"Compared to you, I'm far behind." Zhuo Yingxian calmed down and decided to break the window paper. Anyway, Miao Sheng could guess his reason for coming, "Brother Xiao Sheng, I..."
"Don't ask, I won't tell you." Miao Sheng lowered his eyes, picked up the handkerchief that was put aside, and gently wiped the Yaoqin in front of him.
Zhuo Yingxian frowned: "What did Brother Zuo do to offend you?"
"He didn't offend me, it's because they shouldn't be in Wulingdu."
"They?" Zhuo Yingxian's heart skipped a beat, "They are all in your hands? Do you know who they are?"
Miao Sheng didn't answer his question, but slowly put down the veil, and looked at him meaningfully: "Xiao Xian'er, I heard you have been living in a Taoist temple for these years, why did you get involved with these people?"
,
Although this house is big, but I don't know if the owner is too confident, or there is a guard house hidden outside the wall, but there are no patrolling people in the house. Nie Yunhan skimmed over the rows of roofs lightly, very He was approaching the southwest corner, and as he had expected, it was indeed a forest.
On the whole, this forest is just a corner of a private garden. The other side opposite to the trees is a rockery lake. There is also an exquisite and small lake pavilion in the lake. It makes people feel a little deserted and weird for no reason.
Nie Yunhan didn't have the time to appreciate the garden, so he first escaped into the woods next to the wall, and under the cover of trees, he searched the ground almost inch by inch, but found nothing suspicious.
Coming out of the woods, he walked along the stone platform to the Huxin Pavilion. Anyway, he would definitely have to turn over the house tonight before giving up.
The inner distance of the Huxin Pavilion is about one zhang, which is not very big, and it is a good place to watch the scenery.The ground inside the pavilion is round, embedded with square colored painted floor tiles, and the black paint is so black that you can't tell what kind of pattern it is.
Nie Yunhan squatted on the ground, groping with his hands little by little, and suddenly touched the cracks in the floor tiles, his mind was moved, and then he took out his torch, twisted out the darkest light, and looked at the cracks in the floor tiles.
"Hmph, worm-carving trick!"
Then he cast his gaze around, and used a fire-fold to illuminate the surrounding railings. After some exploration, he found a slightly loose pole, held it with his hand, and turned it lightly——
There was a "rumbling" sound on the ground in the pavilion, and the painted floor tiles were gradually moved away. After a while, a hole that could allow one person to pass through flashed out!
Guan Shan is good at tricks. Although Nie Yunhan is not very familiar with it, he understands it better than others. This type of tricks is really common, so naturally he can't hide it from his eyes.
Miao Sheng built the secret room under the lake, which is considered clever.
Nie Yunhan turned on the torch in his hand, and walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave.
The secret room built at the bottom of the lake seems to be well ventilated, the air smells clean and there is no peculiar smell.He thought of the lotus flowers blooming on the lake, and there must have been ventilation ducts mixed in.
Nie Yunhan held his breath, controlled his breath, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the secret room, but he didn't notice any living things, and his mood sank instantly after discovering the mechanism.
Since no one was there, he turned the light of Huozhezi to the maximum, and he could clearly see the structure of this secret room.
An ordinary big room, but it was built smoothly and openly. There are several thick iron nails nailed on the wall. Each iron nail is tied with an iron chain as thick as a child's arm, winding on the ground like a snake.
In addition, there are standing cages, falling stones, "two dragons spit beards" and other objects beside them. The wood of the utensils is mottled, all stained by years of blood.
Nie Yunhan is very familiar with these, all of them are the cruelest instruments of torture, and he doesn't know that Miao Sheng, the boss of a romantic place, what's the use of building such an underground torture room?
Could it be that the struggle between power factions in Wulingdu City has reached this point?
Nie Yunhan looked carefully along the corner of the wall. At the end of the secret room, there were several rows of black cabinets standing against the wall, which were not locked.
He opened a door and brought the fire folder closer, and saw that there were some miscellaneous things in it, some were weapons, some were hidden weapons, and some belongings of unknown persons, which looked like they were searched from the bodies of the prisoners. from.
Thinking of this, Nie Yunhan's thoughts suddenly moved, and he quickly opened the remaining cabinet doors. In the last cabinet, he found a package he was familiar with. He opened it and looked at it, looking for shadows, magnets, iron ears, etc.—— Brother Zuo was indeed imprisoned here!
,
Now that Miao Sheng knew who Nie Yunhan and the others were, Zhuo Yingxian stopped playing around with him, put his hands on the piano platform, leaned forward, and fixed his eyes on Miao Sheng.
"Brother Xiaosheng, what do you really know?"
Miao Sheng still avoided talking, stood up and went to the window, opened the window, looked at the moon outside: "Since you still call me that, just listen to me. No matter how much you like it, stay away from Mr. Nie, he A good guy, but not a good match."
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and a tingling look crossed his face.
Zhuo Yingxian also got up and followed him closely, with a sincere expression: "Since you care about me, stop avoiding my questions. Don't just tell me how to do it, tell me why!"
Miao Sheng focused on appreciating the moonlight, not knowing where her thoughts went.
"Brother Xiaosheng, you...do you have any difficulties?" Zhuo Yingxian held his shoulder, feeling that it was thin, and said worriedly, "We haven't seen each other for many years, maybe each of us has changed, But no matter what you have experienced later, childhood friends are always the most precious. You are good for me, and I will naturally miss you. It is obviously not right for you to be like this now-I wonder if you have any other friends who can confide in you. If you trust me, why not talk to me."
After a moment of silence, Miao Sheng smiled silently, and lovingly stroked Zhuo Yingxian's hair, just like before, with the expression like looking at a child.
"Who doesn't have a few troubles, what is there to talk about, mine are nothing to worry about. But Xiao Xian'er, your brother Han has enmity with Duyu people, do you know about this?"
After hearing this, Zhuo Yingxian felt relieved: "I know."
Seeing that the other party looked surprised, he briefly explained the reason why he saved the master. After listening, Miao Sheng said lightly: "So that's how it is. I thought you were with Mr. Nie because of your deep friendship with Mr. Nie." come out."
Friendship is very deep?Someone is deliberately alienating me now.Zhuo Yingxian was annoyed when he thought of this, but he couldn't help thinking about it, and wondered if Brother Han had found anything during his night inspection.
He said sullenly and perfunctorily: "There is not such a deep friendship."
Miao Sheng turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at him with folded arms: "In this case, you should leave him."
"Of course not, I have to save Master!" Zhuo Yingxian asked eagerly, "Did the Duyu people want you to arrest Brother Zuo and the others? They really reached into Wulingdu, and we also found a clue I just came here..."
"Save what master?!" Miao Sheng interrupted blankly, without even asking what the clue was. "It is true that the old Taoist saved you, but he didn't have any good intentions. Besides, you took care of me. For ten years, his kindness has been repaid!"
"That can't be done. It's a fact that Master has saved my life, and I should repay it. If you are in another place and something happens to you, You Xiao will definitely not just sit idly by!"
When mentioning You Xiao, Miao Sheng's expression was awe-inspiring for a moment, Zhuo Yingxian was about to continue asking, but he heard a burst of eager footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door.
"Master! It's not good!" It was Uncle Guang's voice.
Miao Sheng was still calm and calm: "Come in."
Uncle Guang pushed the door open, panting, and seemed to be running all the way from the door: "A group of people suddenly surrounded the courtyard wall with malicious intentions, and only one guard outside ran back to report that they had quilt……"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Yingxian heard the sound of "嗖嗖", instinctively stretched out his hand, and pulled Miao Sheng away from the window, narrowly avoiding an incoming arrow.
The arrow hit the bookcase with a "bang", the arrow was on fire, maybe it was still stained with kerosene, and the momentum was so fierce that the tongue of fire immediately licked the books on the cabinet.
And outside the window, countless flaming arrows shot into the house, as if the fire fell from the sky, and the originally silent mansion soon fell into a sea of flames!
