little fool's child bride

Xiao Xiao looked at Liu Ziming, thinking of the interception and killing she encountered on the way when she came, she seemed to understand something.

Liu Ziming said seriously: "It's just what you think, someone wants your life, and it's not just one person."

"Why?" Xiao Xiao smiled wryly, "I'm not even a court official, so who's in my way?"

Having said that, Xiao Xiao had a guess in her heart.Shan and Sanxi "Rong Family?"

"Exactly."

Liu Ziming also felt a little guilty, and it showed on his face.Xiao Xiao was puzzled, after all, because he encountered two waves of killers.

"Is it Hongmei and the others or the one from the first floor?"

Liu Ziming frowned at this time, pondered for a long time and said, "If there is no accident, it should be Hongmei and the others. Hongmei and the others belong to Anbu, and Anbu is an organization secretly set up by Rongxiang to do some shady things. .But I thought that the first floor should be ordered by the Rong family. After all, besides them, I really can’t think of anyone else who can take out 10 taels of gold to kill you..."

"10 taels of gold!" Xiao Xiao was taken aback, but she didn't expect that she was so valuable.Converted into adult life coins, it is nearly ten million!It really made him feel a little complicated that he, a commoner, could have such a high reward.

Liu Ziming nodded with a dignified expression: "Yes, I asked someone to return to the first floor to inquire about it. Your life-buying money needs to be a full 20 taels of gold. If you can't give them a month, I don't think even I can." Keeping you."

"They are so lawless?" Mr. Cong was stunned. Although he knew about this organization, he didn't have a deep understanding of it.

Liu Ziming shook his head and said helplessly, "Does Mr. Cong know what they say most often?"

"What is it?"

"As long as the money is managed enough, the emperor can't save it."

"It's the other way around!" Master Cong slapped the table, "Then we might as well preemptively strike them and catch them off guard!"

"How can it be so easy?" Liu Ziming was also distressed. "It is said that Guiyilou has branches in every city. Unless they can be destroyed at the same time, they will come back one day. But it is too difficult. The branches they set up They are very secretive and well-informed, often before the officers and soldiers arrive, they are already empty. Master Cong is also a person who has fought and been on the battlefield, so he should know that people like this are the most difficult to deal with."

"Indeed, something like this mouse always works wonders."

"So my idea is this, I will give the 40 if I can. At least in this way, the next time someone wants to borrow the hand of the first floor to kill Xiaodi, he will get 20 taels of gold. Xiaodi escaped the first place on the road." A wave of killers, then this month will be the time to raise money for our lives, so no one will attack you, only send people to watch you. This month, I will raise [-] for you..."

Xiao Xiao began to fall into her own thoughts when they talked about returning to the first floor.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Rong family to send two batches of killers to take his own life at the same time. Who.But there was always a voice in his heart, telling him that there was someone else.

who is it?

who can that be?

"Brother Xiao? Xiao Xiao!" "What?"

Xiao Xiao came to her senses when she heard Liu Ziming's worried voice.

Liu Ziming sighed: "Forget it, I will tell you again when I go to Yuanzi Bengong. Master Cong, you still have something to do here, and I will stay here soon."

Master Cong hurriedly got up to see off the guests, Xiao Xiao followed Liu Ziming out of the Cong Mansion, and got into Liu Ziming's carriage.The carriage was much more spacious than it was in Ancheng, but Liu Ziming let Xiao Xiao sit beside him, and then put his head on his lap.

"Fortunately, you are here." Liu Ziming said very tiredly with his eyes closed.

Xiao Xiao, who felt that her posture was very strange, was as stiff as a piece of wood, but she was relieved for some reason when she heard this sentence, as if the atmosphere was not so strange anymore.Xiao Xiao asked calmly: "What?"

"Too tired," Liu Ziming replied, "every day I calculate, calculate the favor of the emperor, calculate the power of the Lan family. It is a matter of course, but no one is sincerely on my side .”

"Am I here?"

Liu Ziming chuckled, "Yes, it's a good thing you're here."

Only then did Xiao Xiao realize that Liu Ziming was still the same Liu Ziming.He was originally worried that the two had known each other for a short time, and they hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they didn't dare to speak in the Cong Mansion, and just listened to him talk about "Ben Gong".At this moment, after hearing his complaints, Xiao Xiao's heart fell back into her stomach, and her body was no longer stiff.He massaged Jiang Muyu's scalp like he did for Jiang Muyu. Liu Ziming's body trembled, and then he relaxed and enjoyed it.

"It's a pity that my time in power is too short, otherwise the 20 taels would never be difficult." Liu Ziming said with some regret, "But you don't have to worry, I will ask the imperial concubine, even if the Lan family is poor with the 20 taels It’s still possible. Even if it’s really impossible, I’ll keep you even if I pawn the playthings my father rewarded me with.”

"Do you sell the things in the palace?" Xiao Xiao burst out laughing, "If the emperor knew, he might cut me off without returning to the first floor, so as not to confuse you, the prince, what a bad thing!"

"If he knew your talents, he would probably treasure you more than me..." Liu Zi muttered, "No, he treasures your talents, and I treasure you."

Xiao Xiao's hands stopped moving: "You say that, I am like that Daji Baosi."

"No." Liu Ziming was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he just remained silent.

Xiao Xiao curled her lips: "What's wrong? You said that I'm like a beauty, and I'm about to give you, the next king, to Huo Huo!"

Liu Ziming sat up all of a sudden, opened his eyes, stared at Xiao Xiao's eyes and said sincerely: "I really regard Brother Xiao as a friend..."

Why are you so serious?Xiao Xiao was joking, but she didn't expect Liu Ziming's reaction to be like this.He unconsciously avoided Liu Ziming's gaze, and said, "I was just joking..."

Liu Ziming didn't speak, but he withdrew his eyes from Xiao Xiao's body, staring at the curtains that moved slightly due to the wind.He didn't know what happened to him just now, he just didn't want Xiao Xiao to misunderstand him, but he couldn't tell why he didn't want it.Because Xiao Xiao is his friend?Liu Ziming's heart skipped a beat just now, as if he was objecting to this statement.

"Because brother Xiao is really important," Liu Ziming didn't know whether he was answering Xiao Xiao's question or admonishing himself, "I don't want to lose you because of some inexplicable words."

"If I leave you because of some inexplicable words, then I, Xiao Xiao, will never find a wife in my life!" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes, never expecting that Liu Ziming, who used to be handsome in the past, would be worried about such things, "Ah, my wife It's the lady."

Liu Ziming didn't speak. For some reason, when he heard this answer, his heart skipped a beat again. He remembered the thing about the imperial concubine talking to him yesterday.The imperial concubine said that the Bai family and the Lan family have always had a deep friendship, even now that there is no one in the court of the Lan family, they have not forgotten to take care of their Lan family, since he is now the crown prince, he should be rewarded.It just so happened that the position of his concubine had been vacant, and there was a twenty-eight-year-old daughter in the Bai family who was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why not ask the emperor to marry her.He refused without hesitation at that time, because he hated the imperial concubine's arbitrariness, but wanted to leave the position of princess to the one he loved.

"Beloved?" Concubine Lan Gui seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. "Sure enough, there are all kinds of fathers, and there are all kinds of sons. They are all infatuation seeds in front of me! But Liu Since I'm telling you, the kid from the Rong family has reached the age of marriage, if the envoy of the Rong family marries Miss Bai, do you think the Bai family will still help you as they are now?"

"When the time comes, don't turn around and kneel down to beg me!"

What was Liu Ziming thinking at that time?He was thinking that brother Xiao would be here soon, and he didn't want to disturb the meeting between the two of them because of some Miss Bai family...

"Grandpa, we're here!"

Liu Ziming was suddenly awakened by the driver's voice, looked at Xiao Xiao from the corner of his eyes in embarrassment, and was relieved to find that he was only concentrating on eating apples.He got out of the carriage, waved back the servant beside him and extended his hand to Xiao Xiao: "This carriage is taller, I'll help you."

Xiao Xiao wiped her hands in embarrassment—after all, there might be apple juice, and then supported Liu Ziming to jump off the carriage, startling him.

"Why don't you step down on the stool?" Liu Ziming gave Xiao Xiao a reproachful look, Xiao Xiao laughed twice, and pulled her hand out of his.A trace of disappointment suddenly flashed across Liu Ziming's heart, but this emotion was quickly covered up by Xiao Xiao's questioning:

"This is the legendary Prince's Mansion?"

Liu Ziming hit Xiao Xiao with the handle of his fan, and sighed: "Why does the prince have any mansion? They all live in the East Palace. Only the prince can have a palace."

"Isn't the East Palace in the Imperial Palace?" Xiao Xiao also saw clearly the three characters "Qingyi Garden" hanging on the door at this time, presumably Liu Ziming bought the garden for entertaining guests.

"Naturally, that's why I sneaked out to see you today," Liu Ziming walked ahead, "I have to go back to the palace before Youshi, and I'll come back to you in a few days."

Are you leaving now?Xiao Xiao paused, he thought Liu Ziming was going to sleep here at night.

"I bought this garden a long time ago. I originally thought that after I was sealed off, I would have a place to live when I returned to Wangcheng," Liu Ziming said nostalgicly. Of course, the palace is not willing, after all, if there is a palace, it is inevitable to come back and stay longer."

"At that time, I just wanted to leave this royal city far away, because it was really suffocating and lifeless. It's a pity that the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that I would desperately want to stay?"
