"Boss, it's all settled. But one ran away. I'm afraid I'm going back to the capital to report the news. Look..."
"It's okay, let him run."
"What about the west side?"
"It's all set, except for the person you want, there is no one left."
"it is good."
…
The head seems to be hurting.
Consciousness seems to be in chaos.
Lu Jinxi felt as if she had a constant nightmare, in which there were swords, lights, swords and shadows that she had never seen before, and even blood spilled, and...
These vague whispers.
who is talking
very noisy.
Brows furrowed subconsciously.
She tried hard to wake up from this nightmare, but it was like falling into an endless swamp. No matter how she searched, she couldn't find the right direction.
Just sink deeper and deeper.
Until a bit of coolness suddenly came from his forehead.
That's a creepy, but also very sobering temperature.
Lu Jinxi only felt that the boundless nightmare was like a bubble in the sun, and was punctured by this sudden coolness.
So she opened her eyes!
What appeared in her field of vision was a piece of pure black sleeves, blocking most of her vision, so she couldn't see straight ahead.
But the peripheral vision can sweep around.
It was a shabby, shabby little house.
The old wooden wall, although the dust has been wiped off, can still see the unique corrosion marks of the rotten wood on it; the tabletop is full of pits and sword marks, and there are two skewed stools.
One of them was seated by the person in front of her.
There was a "crashing" sound outside, it was raining, and it was heavy.
She was wearing middle clothes and covered with a thick quilt, lying on a bed that felt visibly hard to her, with a faint pain on her forehead.
The palm pressed against her forehead, slightly cold.
There were thick, rough calluses on the palms of her fingers and palms. When she woke up and couldn't help but move, she gently scratched her smooth and delicate skin.
"woke up?"
Probably aware of her movement, the palm that was pressing on her forehead also took away the sleeve that was blocking her vision.
The person who was invisible at first was finally seen clearly by her.
At this moment, she was completely stunned.
What was born in the depths of my heart was not the joy of the rest of my life or being saved, but a series of strange things that happened in Baoding City in the past...
And, the mountain bandits I met when I returned to the city!
It was him...
The man who rescued her on the streets of Baoding City!
Still a full-faced beard.
But this time, instead of wearing a felt hat or wearing that weirdly bloated cotton robe, he tied his hair together and wore a simple and neat black robe.
Those deep eyes stared straight at her.
Without the obscurity of all kinds of weird costumes that day, Lu Jinxi could finally see the strong and strong physique of this man in front of him clearly—
Even if he just sits flat like this.
Broad shoulders, a hard chest, strong arms, and a strong waist.
If you ignore the beard that makes people completely unable to see his specific facial features, his overall lines are smooth and powerful, and there is a power that can explode at any time, like a silent beast.
In addition to being fierce, it makes people feel...
If it wasn't out of place, Lu Jinxi even wanted to use the word "elegance" to describe it.
"It's you… "
She opened her mouth with some difficulty, stood up subconsciously, and stared at the eyes of the man in front of her, full of strong vigilance and vigilance.
The man was only sitting in front of the bed, and he had the aura of a golden sword.
Hearing the words Lu Jinxi, his two sharp brows with a sense of wind and frost slightly raised, and the strangeness that Lu Jinxi had seen in the bottom of his eyes reappeared.
He seemed puzzled: "Me?"
"You are a mountain bandit."
Lu Jinxi didn't even have to think to know what situation she was in now, but seeing this person at this time, she only felt that all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, and all kinds of thoughts and guesses made her brain hurt.
The man was amazed at her determination, and asked with a smile, "Why did you determine so quickly that I was a bandit, instead of the benefactor who saved you again?"
benefactor
Lu Jinxi's heart was icy cold.
If there was still a little bit of hope at the beginning, after listening to the man's almost tacit words, it all collapsed and fell into despair.
She looked at the other party calmly and replied, "Ordinary mountain bandits don't have the skills of you. After I arrived in Baoding, the people under my command had seen your people and wanted to follow them, but they were thrown away; I was in Taoism a few days ago. In the event of a robbery, the ability of those mountain bandits is no lower than that of my people. A small Baoding is not likely to have two groups of such people appearing together at the same time. What's more, in this barren mountain and wild ridge, there is no front of the village or no shop in the back. You appeared before me."
Not very strict, but in a sense, very sharp.
After all, they haven't left any more clues.
There was a little more interest in the man's eyes, and he asked again, "Then how do you know that it was robbed a few days ago? If I remember correctly, after I brought you back, you lay there and never woke up."
"Because of the heavy rain."
Lu Jinxi glanced at the closed door, and could feel a little moisture coming in through the crack, but she couldn't see if there were still people outside, or...
how many people.
The man didn't really understand what she said.
Lu Jinxi explained: "My guard told me that the weather was fine before arriving in the capital, and it would not rain. But you have already robbed me, neither raped nor killed, there must be other plans, guessing and guessing should be It's related to Sheng Longchang. So, 90% of the time, you didn't go very far, and the reason for the weather change has nothing to do with the location."
"...You're very smart." After listening, the man looked at her for a moment, then nodded, and even complimented her, then said, "It's just a pity, I heard from my brothers that there is someone who drives a carriage for you. Yes, you even abandoned the carriage and ran away on the way. Your guard is not very loyal."
These words fell into Lu Jinxi's ears, and there was a vague sense of weirdness, but it was hard to describe how strange it was.
Perhaps, this whole sentence is wrong.
She put her hand on the quilt, her palm sweated slightly, and the thoughts in her head flashed thousands of times in an instant, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I told him to abandon the car and escape. He will return to the capital, Go to the rescue. Although I don't know what your identity is, I don't think you are a simple person. If you let me go now, there is still a way to survive, and I can promise not to pursue it. "
"Let there be a way to survive, don't pursue it? Your tone is really not small." The man squinted slightly, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked curious, "No matter how rich you are, you can cooperate with Sheng Xuan, but you can also He's just a businessman. Even if that Leng Touqing really moved in to rescue the soldiers, or reported to an official, do you think I would be afraid?"
"I'm not a businessman." Lu Jinxi denied it lightly, and then added, "I am the widow of Xue Kuang, the general of Wuwei Town in the capital of the capital, and the wife of the imperial court."
"… "
When she finished speaking, the pupil of the man sitting on the stool shrank abruptly, his eyes were like snow swords and frost blades, through her eyes, penetrated her whole being!
In Lu Jinxi's view, this should be a kind of shock and fear.
However, after just a moment, the man's eyes became strange, and then he laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke.
"Hahaha… "
Lu Jinxi sat, a little stiff.
She didn't know what the other party was laughing at.
The other party has already stretched out his cool palm again, pinching her delicate and pale chin unceremoniously.
The same cold eyes, with a bit of ridicule and banter, want to smile or not.
"The Great General's Mansion is in the capital. Who doesn't know that the Great General's wife is in Baoding without stepping out of the gate? Not to mention doing business with people. If you are the Great General's wife, then Lao Tzu is still the Great General. !"
