Han Yan only brought Shu Hong with him today. After saying goodbye to Chai Jing on the back mountain, he hurried back to his house before dawn. It was winter, the sky was dark, and the village was completely silent. Occasionally, a dog would bark faintly, which was very hidden.
Han Yan and Shu Hong crawled out of the dog hole in the backyard and just dusted themselves off when they smelled a strong smell of blood. The smell of blood was almost on the tip of his nose. Subconsciously, Han Yan went to pull Shu Hong. As soon as his body moved, he was restrained by a strong arm from behind, and the cold blade was pressed against his throat.
Shu Hong was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and was about to call for help when she saw Han Yan wink at her and immediately stopped talking. She just stared at the person holding Han Yan hostage with a vigilant face.
There is no one around at the moment, the maids are all sleeping in the mansion, and I must not appear in front of everyone like I am just returning home after going out. And I don’t know who this person is. If he offends him, it will be bad if he loses his life.
After thinking for a while, Han Yan lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency is on the wrong path. If so, let me go, and I will naturally lead the way for you."
The man's knife at Han Yan's throat was a little closer, and his voice was hoarse: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Han Yan felt that the closer he got to this person, the stronger the smell of blood on his body became, and the body that restrained him became a little stiff. Observing carefully, the hand holding the knife against his throat seemed to be trembling, and he felt in his heart Understanding, she said calmly: "Your Excellency has been injured. If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health."
The man didn't expect Han Yan to be so bold. After being silent for a long time, he said, "You're not afraid at all."
"I have no enmity with you, and you will naturally not kill me." Han Yan smiled: "I just don't know what you are going to do with your current behavior."
The man took a breath and said, "Take me to get away for a while."
Han Yan's heart moved. Could it be that this person was being chased and fled all the way? If you save him like this, you don't know how much trouble you will cause yourself in the future. But if you don't save him... Han Yan glanced at Shu Hong, and now she has to save him. She sighed in her heart and said: "Let me go. I won't scream. Just follow me."
The man hesitated for a moment and threatened in Han Yan's ear like a warning: "Don't play tricks, or I will kill you and this girl together." Seeing that Han Yan didn't move, he gradually relaxed his grip. Han Yan grabbed Shu Hong and motioned to the man to follow him.
"Miss... where are we sending him?" Shu Hong asked worriedly. The other person seemed not to be trifled with, but now there are no spare rooms in Qingqiu Garden... Han Yan frowned: "There is nothing we can do, first of all Take him to my room."
The man followed Han Yan into the back room. Han Yan closed the door of the bedroom and Shu Hong lit the lamp. Only then could she see clearly what the man who held Han Yan hostage looked like.
It was a young and tall man, handsome and tall, with a pair of green eyes like a wild wolf, looking at Han Yan like a prey. He was wearing a black robe, and he looked very arrogant. Han Yan noticed that he had a deep silhouette and his facial features were brighter than those of the Central Plains people. He seemed to be a foreign man, but the demeanor he displayed did not look like an ordinary person. At this moment, a large piece of the man's black robe was wet on the front, and traces of being soaked by water could be seen. However, the strong smell of blood reminded everyone that it was not water.
This is an injured man, but he still makes people feel dangerous, like a lone wolf in a desperate situation. Even if he is embarrassed, he still has the power to fight back.
When Han Yan was looking at this person, the other person was also observing her. He thought he was just an ordinary maid, but when Han Yan led him into this room, he realized that she was actually the young lady of this house. What kind of lady would sneak out in the middle of the night and come back early in the morning? Maybe he went to have a private meeting with his lover, thinking that the look he looked at Han Yan was a bit frivolous.
But I saw a little girl standing in the room who looked only about twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing two round buns and a coarse short mandarin jacket. She had a pretty face, but she couldn't be called particularly beautiful. She just looked amazing. I feel comfortable and gentle. He couldn't see Han Yan's appearance clearly in the dark, but he felt that he must be old because he was so calm. Unexpectedly, he was dumbfounded when he saw a little baby who didn't even have haircuts.
Seeing his stupid look, Han Yan asked Shu Hong to take him to the room outside, and then she changed her clothes before coming out. As soon as he came out, he threw a lot of medicine to the man: "I don't know what kind of injury you suffered. Now all the medicines in the house are here. Pick one for yourself."
Seeing that Han Yan was not afraid of him at all, the man praised her for her calmness, but he still deliberately said with a sullen face: "If you play tricks, I will kill you immediately."
Han Yan smiled at him and made a gesture: "Please do so."
Seeing that Han Yan was unable to get in, the man snorted coldly and stopped talking. Han Yan looked at him thoughtfully: "You don't seem to be from the Central Plains?"
The man glanced at him and said, "Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much."
Han Yan shrugged: "I saved your life, at least you let me know your name."
"Saved my life?" The man smiled instead of being angry: "My name is Zhuo Qi."
This was a fake name. Han Yan immediately had an intuition, but it was not important, so he said: "When does Mr. Zhuo plan to leave?"
Zhuo Qi's green eyes sank after hearing his words: "Until it is safe."
"Who is chasing you?" Han Yan looked at him. Zhuo Qi's face turned ugly for a moment, and he looked at Han Yan with extremely wary eyes: "You talk too much."
Han Yan could only nod his head: "After Mr. Zhuo leaves, he won't bring any trouble to me, right?"
Every sentence she asked was focused. Zhuo Qi glanced at the little girl in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression. Dealing with her was like dealing with an adult. What you say must be considered and considered. Although this little girl's edge is not revealed, it is like a good sword, and naturally has some glory.
She is really interesting.
As if a cat was seeing a prey, Zhuo Qi raised the corners of his mouth viciously: "The trouble is huge..."
"In that case." Han Yan said with a smile: "I will always spare no effort to eradicate those who cause me trouble."
"How do you get rid of me?" Zhuo Qi looked at her with interest.
Han Yan smiled broadly, and his eyes fell on Zhuo Qi's chest where medicine had just been applied.
Zhuo Qi's expression changed: "Did you use poison?"
"What do you think?" She smiled like a harmless rose.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, Han Yan looked stern, and Shu Hong ran in hurriedly: "Miss, it's not good, there are a lot of officials outside, they seem to be checking people."
