Nothing happened that night.

A good night's sleep.

Shui Shanruo got up, stretched her waist, turned around and said, "Ah Yue, it's dawn, we have to go on our way."

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Ah Yue hurriedly got up to pack her bags.

"Going to Nanzhao now, I don't know how long it will take to find the person I'm looking for," Shui Shanruo got up, she got up earlier than her subordinates, her current appearance was reflected in the blurry bronze mirror.

If my sister sees her now, will she take her words as childish urchins as before

She carefully combed her long hair smoothly, pasted flowers on the mirror, and smeared a touch of rouge and gouache. In the mirror, a delicate and lovely girl stood tall. She turned her head and said to Ah Yue behind her: "Ah! Yue, look at me now, is there something wrong with my makeup?"

"Second Miss is very beautiful." Ah Yue admired.

She was wearing a fluffy trimmed mink fur, with two pink crystals on her ears. She was almost obsessed with the two colors of Yaohuang and peach pink. She checked carefully to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her makeup. After that, he put on his cloak, prepared his light luggage, and went out with his subordinates.

"Mr. Cheng, why didn't you do it last night?" On the restaurant not far away, two men were kneeling and standing. One of them was overlooking the people under the inn. After dawn, the group of people came out of the inn in twos and threes. Always focus on the girl in the middle.

"I don't want to hurt the innocent," another man raised his head. "If I did something yesterday, I think the entire inn would be lost."

"You mean, this female bandit leader..."

"Murderer Lin Ruo, how do you think he got this name?" Mr. Cheng watched the girl-like bandit leader packing his bags surrounded by a group of people. Yuecheng was already the last city to go to Nanzhao. It is impossible to ride lightly, and if there is not enough food, their journey to Nanzhao will be delayed even longer.

He took a sip of his wine: "For yesterday's meal, we couldn't find a chance to poison at all. Even the cooks were monitored by their people, and after the dishes were served, Xiao Er would test the dishes. When something goes wrong, they don't go to the mastermind, they... just kill everyone in the inn."

"Yesterday, a net was set up at the inn. A young woman, can she escape?"

"If poison was used last night, I have a 40% chance of catching her."

"Forty percent?!" The man stood up all of a sudden, almost overturning several cases.

Mr. Cheng took another sip of tea: "Yuan Xuan, this is already a better possibility. Don't look at Lin Ruo's young age, but look at the big crimes she committed over the past year. If I dared to take action yesterday , she dares to drag all the innocent people in the inn to be buried with her!"

The man named Yuan Xuan straightened his neck and looked downstairs, but saw the girl holding a bundle of horse grass and teasing a horse. The horse was also interesting, and she didn't forget to act like a baby while eating grass. After eating the horse grass, he put his big head into the girl's embrace. The girl touched the tips of her ears and giggled.

The girl has a sweet appearance, and her big eyes are flickering and cute. She is the kind of cute girl who should stay at home obediently and let the family love and love her. She put her arms around the horse's neck, as if she felt something, and turned her head to look.

This time, Yuan Xuan's eyes met hers.

The girl smiled at him, her dark eyes were full of smiles.

But for some reason, Yuan Xuan felt a chill down her spine, turned her head and sat down.

"She saw me!" Yuan Xuan said to Mr. Cheng, "It's still very cute, but I feel like I've seen her somewhere."

"The bandit leader, who kills people like hemp, would you know such a woman? Are you not afraid of being hanged and beaten by your father?" Mr. Cheng joked.

"Okay, okay, stop joking with me," Yuan Xuan asked, "What are you going to do now? If you don't do it, there will be no chance."

Mr. Cheng looked at the dozen or so people who had packed their bags and prepared dry food, and they were drifting away in the thin snow. He threw the wine glass on the table: "Isn't there still Zhao Baiyun's move?"

"Aren't you afraid that she won't be useful?"

"Zhao Baiyun is a woman who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has no brains. How could I let her be poisoned?" Mr. Cheng chuckled, "All I want is for her to join Lin Ruo's team again. Although Lin Ruo is ruthless, he will spare no effort to help poor people."

Yuan Xuan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "According to what you say, she is not a criminal with no conscience, why do you just want to deal with her?"

"Because she thinks that she is justice and can do justice for the heavens," Mr. Cheng said slowly, "When she was happy, she once gave away all her belongings and saved the poor in a town. I have been to that town before, and until now, There are still many families in that town enshrining her longevity tablets, but when she thinks that a person deserves to die, she will have no mercy and kill everyone she thinks deserves to be killed."

"Hearing what you said, this person should be a very contradictory and terrifying person," Yuan Xuan murmured, covering her chin, "Are you going to take this opportunity to kill her?"

"No, I won't kill her." Mr. Cheng shook his head, "Lin Ruo is a good and evil woman, I just want to catch her and throw her into the prison."

Yuan Xuan said: "This is very... hey, you haven't answered me yet, when are you going to do it? Could it be that you arranged for people on the way to Nanzhao?"

Mr. Cheng smiled: "After I got the news last night, I set up a trap, because they will come back by themselves. At that time, we will have more chances to do it."

Yuan Xuan asked with great interest: "Let's hear it."

Mr. Cheng said slowly: "If you ride a horse, there is only one road from Yuecheng to Nanzhao, but that road was cut off by an avalanche last night."

Yuan Xuan suddenly realized, and then approached him: "Why did you seal the news?"

Young Master Cheng raised his head: "Put everyone in the position of the avalanche, and let them come back at Chenshi. This period of time is enough for us to arrange everything properly."

Yuan Xuan finally asked a question: "What if, I mean if, Lin Ruo really ordered Zhao Baiyun to be killed?"

Mr. Cheng said calmly: "I checked Zhao Baiyun's life history, she is also a ruthless person, she once poisoned another concubine's room in a concubine's house, killing two people, so this kind of person, She was lucky to be alive, but to die is to use her last bit, so she is considered unlucky, and, according to Lin Ruo's habit, she will kill Zhao Baiyun with her own hands."

"Second miss, please, I really have nowhere to go. You are kind-hearted, just give me one last chance. I can be a cow or a horse, as long as I have a stutter."

As soon as she walked out of the city gate, she saw a woman standing in front of her who was begging bitterly. The woman was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing non-stop, her eyes full of hasty tears: "Please."

[Ruo'er, mother and concubine, please. ] In my memory, there was a woman crying and begging her.

She shook her head and kept backing away.

The woman's eyes were full of tears, it was hopelessness, she kept approaching her: [Only you can save Hong'er, you have to save Hong'er, Hong'er is your twin brother, if your father finds out Yes, your father will kill him.]

She kept retreating until there was no way to retreat: [Mother and concubine, but if I admit it, Father will kill me too!]

The woman shook her head, and carefully covered her little hands with both hands, as if she was her last straw: [Your father loves you so much, he won't, Hong'er will die, how could you be so Watch your brother die cruelly!]

She looked at her mother's concubine's expectant eyes, and her legs slowly spread to the ground against the crack of the door as if she had lost her strength.

[Ruo'er, concubine mother kneels down and begs you!]The woman fell to her knees with a plop, and cried loudly, [If you refuse, mother and concubine can only die in exchange for your brother's safety.]

Looking at the kneeling concubine mother, she couldn't cry, and nodded with empty eyes: [Concubine mother, you get up, I promise you.]

After that incident, what she got was a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered by the concubine mother herself, with the pattern of fish playing with lotus and beautiful textures. It was the first gift she received from the concubine mother in her life.

Where did that gift go

She seems to have a little memory.

One shoe was lost in exile, and there were still some pearls on the other shoe. She took it off and exchanged it for fifteen copper coins.

The second young lady's face darkened, and she touched the handle of the knife on the waistband with her small hand.

Ah Yue glanced at the woman who was still begging and crying, shook her head and sighed.

Second Miss got off the horse and walked slowly in front of her.

She looked at the woman's face covered with tears and snot, looked at the fresh scar on her forehead, and there was still that voice echoing in her mind: [Please.]

When she saw Second Miss coming over, she was overjoyed: "Second Miss, do you forgive me?"

Second Miss was silent for a while, then shook her head: "No."

"That… "

Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her chest, and the dagger in the second young lady's hand had already pierced deeply into her heart.

She wanted to say another word, but the blood in her mouth overflowed uncontrollably. She stretched out her hand, wanting to hold the knife finger of the second lady, but she hadn't put this idea into action, she felt the knife in her heart After stirring, the moment her consciousness emptied, she heard the words of the second young lady: "Disgusting woman, you'd better go die."

The blood on her palm was a bit sticky. She scooped up a handful of snow from the ground and wiped the blood off her fingertips.

"Let's go," she put away her weapon, got on her horse, and smiled at everyone.

Another woman said with a smile: "Second Miss is still as neat as before."

A group of people made jokes, bypassed the corpse in the middle of the road, and left talking and laughing. During this period, no one looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and they all firmly believed in the eyes of the second lady.

As for killing someone who is an eyesore, this is a very common thing for them.

Killing one person is a capital crime, and killing a hundred people is still a capital crime. When a criminal thing is done as a matter of course, no one will take such ordinary things as eating and drinking water to their hearts.

A group of people gradually went away.

A man dressed as a martial artist walked to Bai Yun's body.

There was a hole in Baiyun's corpse's chest, and the blood condensed into ice crystals in the cold weather. Her whole body was not completely stiff, but she was completely dead.

The man dressed as a martial artist turned the dead body over, gently stirred her wound with a branch, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Simply everything is developing according to Mr. Cheng's intention.

Lin Ruo, the leader of the bandit, can't escape!

The author has something to say:

I also want to speed up the process, but if it is speeded up, then the logic feeds the dog, the dog feeds the author, and the reader's staple food will become the author = =

Did you see, the cannon fodder in the author's article doesn't take long, and it goes to the rhythm of the west every minute.
