The current situation is not favorable to Qin Yuanming. Qin Yuanming is here to find the thief who stole from their house, not to die.
But he still has a mission to complete.
Since returning to the Qin family, Lu Yunzheng's whereabouts have not been found, but many things have happened.
His house was robbed and then deliberately burned down, and now even the valuables they kept were lost. What made him most angry was that until now, he didn't even know who his opponent was.
Qin Yuanming and his men had not walked far when he became angrier and angrier.
"No, that girl doesn't have the Tang Sect's token. She is not from the Tang Sect. I don't believe that a mere maid can't be killed."
His subordinates suggested: "Sir, why don't we take a break and go and get them at night..."
As he said this, the man touched his neck, meaning that he had killed them all.
"Yes, sir. Those people have no support in Fengxin County. I heard that many people were killed during the snowstorm last year. Since you are not happy with them, just kill them."
Qin Yuanming showed a ferocious expression: "I didn't learn martial arts to kill innocent people."
"But maybe that girl is the one who stole the mansion's finances and set fire to the mansion. Besides, when we came back from the capital, didn't Lord Pei tell us to be careful of a maid? Could it be her?"
Qin Yuanming naturally didn't believe that it was just a little maid, but then he thought, maybe the girl was related to those thieves.
Besides, an ordinary maid would have been scared and started crying when she saw Qin Yuanming, just like the expression of the other maid, but she didn't.
He reacted quickly and pointed his crossbow at him.
Qin Yuanming thought about it and snorted coldly: "Well, the people I sent out failed to assassinate her. I will come in person tonight. If I still fail, I, Qin Yuanming, will admit defeat and recognize her as my master from now on."
It is impossible to make him a subordinate. There is only one consequence: death.
Besides, Liu Qiaoer and the others wouldn't be as comfortable living in the inn as at home, but they still had the necessary facilities.
They first asked for some food, and then asked for water to wash. The weather was hot and there were more mosquitoes, so Xia Ying asked for some incense.
Qi Ze and Xia Ying both revolved around Lu Yunzheng, while Liu Qiaoer took care of herself. Although Gu Mubai felt sad, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
But during the meal, Xia Ying brought the food to Lu Yunzheng for him to eat, and Lu Yunzheng called everyone over.
"We don't need to be particular when we come out, let's all use it together."
Liu Qiaoer had been hungry for a long time, so she sat down and started eating without paying any attention to them. Xia Ying wanted to say something, but she saw Lu Yunzheng habitually putting a lot of dishes into Liu Qiaoer's bowl.
Then Gu Mubai also sat down.
Xia Ying and Qi Ze looked at each other. Qi Ze shrugged, indicating that he was used to it, so she had no choice but to sit down.
The meal was quite good and just as I was about to go back to my room, I heard Lu Yunzheng remind me.
"Don't sleep too deeply tonight. I'm afraid Qin Yuanming won't let it go so easily."
Xia Ying paused as she cleaned up the dishes: "Sir, that evening I will..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunzheng continued, "Qiao'er will share a room with me tonight. Aze, please take care of Xia Ying. He has never seen Zhuo Li, so he shouldn't target you."
Liu Qiaoer was stunned for a moment when she heard the arrangement: "No, I can do it myself. You must be tired after a whole day's journey. You should go to bed early and let Aze stay in the same room with you."
Lu Yunzheng didn't listen to Liu Qiao'er at all. He pulled Liu Qiao'er directly into the inner room and said, "You sleep on the bed tonight, and I sleep on the couch."
At this time, the official from the post station brought some water over. Lu Yunzheng moved the screen and pointed to the wooden barrel inside.
"You wash first."
Although Liu Qiao'er was a maid, she was taken care of by the eldest master all the way. It was impossible for Xia Ying not to be angry and jealous.
She returned to her room in a depressed mood. She didn't need anyone to serve her, so she lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
What she didn't know was that Qi Ze from next door called Gu Mubai and gave him a snack.
"The opportunity has come. Mr. Gu, don't say I won't help you. Go ahead."
Xia Ying was confused and needed someone to comfort her, and now was the right time. Gu Mubai was delighted and knocked on Xia Ying's door with some tea and snacks.
"Why are you here?" Xia Ying's unhappy look was written all over her face.
Gu Mubai smiled gently: "When we were having dinner together, I saw that you didn't eat much, so I came to bring you some food."
Xia Ying indeed didn't eat much, and turned around to let Gu Mubai enter the house.
"Thank you, I can't eat."
Gu Mubai sat there consciously and poured water into Xia Ying's cup.
"I know what you're thinking. You think that you and Qiao'er are both maids, and your master is partial to one of you. But, Miss Xia Ying, if I remember correctly, you've been redeemed by Qiao'er. You're a free person just like Qiao'er."
Xia Ying didn't say anything, she just pinched a dessert and put it in her mouth to taste it.
Gu Mubai said, "No one likes to be a servant forever, unless she really likes it. But from what I know about Mr. Lu, he won't take a concubine."
Xia Ying was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes: "How did you know?"
Gu Mubai let out a long breath and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket: "Take a look for yourself."
Xia Ying slowly unfolded it, and there was only one sentence on it: "A lifetime of love, a pair of people, why would they be separated. Longing for each other but not being able to meet, for whom will the spring come."
If the person Lu Yunzheng liked was not her, then even if she served the eldest master for her whole life, she would never be able to become his concubine.
A feeling of powerlessness and disappointment came over her, and Xia Ying's mouth was trembling with frustration: "I want to drink, do you have any?"
Liu Qiaoer once said that there is a way to make people like you, which is cruel but very effective.
It is to break the illusion, replace the previous feelings, and take advantage of her when she is most vulnerable.
Although it was not a gentlemanly thing to do, Gu Mubai felt that shattering Xia Ying's fantasy, though cruel, was better than letting her continue to indulge in her own fantasy.
It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Liu Qiaoer was sleeping soundly when she heard an alarm in the space.
Long Batian: "Qin Yuanming quietly entered the post station with a knife, the master should be careful."
Qin Yuanming? With a knife
He is looking for death.
Liu Qiao'er was not fully awake yet and was in a bad mood. Besides, it was the middle of the night and she was very sleepy.
After entering the space, Liu Qiaoer wanted to shoot him with a heavy machine gun, but was held down by Long Batian.
"Master, you said that we should not show off our wealth."
Well, Liu Qiaoer still chose the crossbow, but she smeared poison on the arrowhead of the sleeve arrow, the venom of the five-step snake that can kill instantly when it comes into contact with blood.
After putting on his clothes and sitting up from the bed, Lu Yunzheng also woke up.
With his sharp peach blossom eyes looking out the window vigilantly, Lu Yunzheng walked forward, pulled Liu Qiaoer behind him, and closed the window.
"Someone is coming, be careful."
Liu Qiaoer said softly, "Hmm," and handed Lu Yunzheng a crossbow: "This one can shoot seven at a time, so be careful."
The crossbow is exquisite and compact, with a long range and high accuracy. Liu Qiaoer had shown it to Lu Yunzheng, and Lu Yunzheng had also suggested making one based on it.
And it didn't work.
I didn't expect Liu Qiao'er to have two of them. She was a little surprised: "You made it?"
Liu Qiaoer was embarrassed. She had a 3D printer in her space. She could print out the parts by disassembling them. Then she could just assemble them according to the instructions. It was very simple, but she couldn't say anything.
With a "whoosh", the arrow hit the window frame.
