At sunset, on the back mountain outside the city, along a bamboo forest path next to the mountain temple, there are few people on weekdays, especially at night, when the wind blows through the bamboo forest, the rustling sounds are even more eerie.
Abruptly, a slender figure hugged her burden tightly in her arms, and the very beautiful girl hurriedly walked into this uninhabited path. This trail is a shortcut to the neighboring county, but even if people in the city know that there is a shortcut, few people walk, not to mention at a time when everyone is in danger.
However, seeing that the girl was in a hurry, she looked around from time to time, and there was a thin sweat on her forehead.
call out! There seemed to be something swiftly passing by in front of her eyes, the girl's face was slightly panicked, she hugged the burden in her arms tightly, and ran fast, as if there were beasts chasing behind her, she ran desperately forward, not daring to look back, as if she could hear it in her ears. Strange voices kept appearing around her, making her face turn white with fright.
"what!"
Terrified screams cut through the quiet bamboo forest, and several unknown birds and beasts were frightened by the sharp sound and ran around.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Mother Pump was drenched in cold sweat, her eyes widened, and she looked at the two masked men in black who appeared in front of her at an unknown moment.
"Second brother, the appearance of this girl is not bad compared to the previous seven, so you can enjoy it slowly."
One of the masked men in black looked at her for a while, his tone was cold, but he could still hear the voice belonging to a woman.
"Hehe. Don't be afraid, girl, I will take good care of you; the more afraid you are, the more I like it."
Even with his face covered, the man's wickedness can still be seen from his eyes that flash with evil desires.
"Help me..."
Pu Niang threw the burden at him, and immediately ran back, but it was still not fast enough. In the blink of an eye, a man came to her, hugged her, pressed her to the ground, and was about to rip her open with both hands. , Suddenly the figure froze, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers who were ambushed in the dark suddenly rushed out and surrounded the other man in black.
"This time, I want you to be hard to fly."
Cheng Gang looked at the man in black who was surrounded by circles. He couldn't believe that she could escape this time. He turned his head to look at the man in black who had already had acupuncture points on the other side, as well as the junior sister who didn't seem to have any damage. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, this time, the plan of the junior sister was finally a success.
That's right, this girl was pretending to be Dongfang Jie Yirong, and the purpose was to attract the two murderers to appear. Knowing that Junior Sister is not weak in martial arts, Cheng Gang was still sweating coldly for her in the dark.
"Cheng Gang, it's not that easy for you to catch me."
When the man in black saw that his companion was being subdued, he glanced at the officers and soldiers who surrounded her, his eyes showed murderous intent, his fingers turned into claws, and he showed off his skills. Cheng Gang saw that the situation was not right, so he jumped up and blocked her attack with a sword. Although the man in black had no weapons, she had quite a few hidden weapons on her body. Every hidden weapon, including her fingernails, was highly poisonous. Just didn't dare to take it lightly.
Dongfang Jie saw that Cheng Gang and the man in black were caught in a fight, and hurriedly flew to help out. The brothers and sisters showed an excellent tacit understanding, attacking the man in black from left and right. With a feint, Dongfang Jie took off the face of the man in black. , a face covered with ugly scars appeared before her eyes.
When Dongfang Jie saw this terrifying face, he was stunned. The man in black took advantage of the gap and slapped her left shoulder. When he saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her. When the man in black was checking Dongfang Jie's injury, he Run away in chaos.
"Junior sister, are you injured? Damn! She escaped again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch her next time."
Cheng Gang stared at the direction in which the man in black fled, frowned tightly, and said worriedly.
"I'm sorry, teacher—"
Dongfangjie knew that it was his own negligence that would allow the man in black to take advantage of it. Halfway through his reproach, he was stopped by Cheng Gang.
"It seems that the murderer has been caught by you. I am a step late."
Suddenly, a thick voice accompanied the tall figure in front of everyone, followed by Liu Yong.
"My lord, what a coincidence, how did you know we were here?"
Cheng Gang stood in front of Dongfangjie with a burly figure without a trace.
"I asked the people in the yamen to know about your actions this time. This case is so big, of course I have to pay attention. Why don't you see Dongfang Jie? Didn't your brothers and sisters join hands to handle the case this time?"
Long Haotian swept his gaze, did not miss Cheng Gang's action, stepped forward, and his black eyes stared straight at the person behind him.
"Senior brother has something else to do, so I rushed to deal with it."
A cold sweat broke out on Cheng Gang's back. This Long Haotian was really like what his younger sister said, and his ghost was still there. I don't know if my younger sister's dress at the moment could deceive the shrewd him.
"Really? What could be more important than this case?"
Long Haotian's face was slightly condensed, and his black eyes looked sharply at the wandering eyes.
"My lord, please forgive me in a hurry to escort the murderer to the prison, and leave first."
Cheng Gang waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers to escort the murderer back to the yamen.
"Who is this girl behind you? Could it be the one who was almost killed this time?"
Long Haotian didn't intend to let him go easily, his black eyes stared straight at the person hiding behind him with his head lowered.
"That's right. I have to escort this girl back first, my lord, farewell."
"Wait a moment."
Long Haotian blocked his way, and at the same time, he saw the face of the girl behind him. It was an unfamiliar face, but those dodging eyes made him feel familiar for no reason.
"It is more important to escort the murderer back, this girl might as well let me take her back."
"How can this be done! I don't dare to bother the lord."
Cheng Gang was so anxious that his voice could not help but become louder, his tone slightly panicked.
"what… "
A slight light breath caught the eyes of the two, and they saw Dongfang Jie caressing his left shoulder, his brows furrowed, his face pale.
"Master... what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Gang held her shoulders nervously and asked anxiously.
"...I seem to be poisoned."
Dongfangjie swayed slightly, and his vision began to blur. It's all her fault that she is too careless to allow the enemy to take advantage.
Long Haotian's face darkened slightly, looking at the two people's kissing behavior, his black eyes flashed, and he shot very quickly, his big palms clasped Dongfang Jie's slender waist, turned his direction, and in a blink of an eye, the person had fallen into his arms.
"Since this girl is poisoned, I'll take her to the doctor first. You should escort the prisoner back to the yamen quickly."
"Teacher..."
Cheng Gang clenched his fists by his side, anxiously looking at the junior sister who was unconscious in Long Haotian's arms, and then glanced at the people who were waiting on the side, weighing the situation, he had to compromise, and he could only secretly think in the bottom of his heart: Junior sister, you Take care of yourself.
"Then there is Lord Lao." He clasped his fists and shouted for everyone to leave.
Long Haotian looked down at the unconscious person in his arms, his eyes searched for this unfamiliar face, and suddenly, his black eyes narrowed, and he stared directly at the small red mole behind her right ear, hurriedly. Pick her up.
"Liu Yong, let's go!"
The master and the servant followed one after another, performed light work, and went into the city.
"you're awake."
Dongfang Jiefu opened his eyes, but he couldn't figure out where he was for a while, but the next moment a familiar thick voice appeared beside her, and then he realized that something was wrong, and his mind was instantly awake.
"King... where is this? Why am I here?"
Dongfangjie almost spoke out for a few months, and quickly changed his mouth. As soon as she woke up, she saw him beside her, which was quite a shock.
hateful! Could it be that Senior Brother threw her to him while she was in a coma
"This is Fu's residence, where I live temporarily. What is your surname, girl? Where do you live? When the girl recovers, I can send her back home."
Long Haotian leaned against the bedpost, his arms crossed his chest, and looked down at her, not missing the panic in her eyes.
"Don't bother your lord, I can go back by myself."
When Dongfang Jie heard the words, he was shocked. He didn't have time to think about it, so Yue Dui said it.
"Your Highness?" Jian eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips evoked a touch of interest. "How does the girl know my identity?"
"Then... That's because I heard the conversation between you and Cheng Jukuai. The little girl didn't dare to disturb the prince. My injury is not in the way, so I should leave first."
Dongfang Jie forced a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, not daring to meet his sharp eyes, he lifted the quilt on his body and was eager to leave.
"No. The poison on your body has not been completely relieved, and the injury has not yet healed. The doctor has explained that you must rest for at least two days, and you have to leave in two days."
Long Haotian's figure flashed, and his tall figure blocked her way. There was a strange light in the bottom of his deep black eyes, and the burning gaze made her heart tremble slightly.
"But… "
Dongfangjie's eyes wandered, not daring to meet his dark eyes that were implicitly visiting. For some reason, she was vaguely uneasy. Long Haotian's behavior is too strange, a dignified prince, there is really no need to be so nice to a strange woman, so good that it has no purpose, so good that her whole body becomes hairy.
knock knock. There was a knock on the door, followed by a respectful voice:
"My lord, I have brought medicine."
"Come in."
After getting the answer, a maid pushed the door and entered, put the medicine bowl on the wooden table, bent over, and left, not forgetting to close the door, and the strange atmosphere in the room returned to before.
"Don't come here to drink the medicine."
Long Haotian strode to sit on the chair in front of the table, and ordered without allowing her to refuse.
Dongfang Jie hesitated for a while, thinking that she could not leave for the time being, and she could only take one step at a time, so she paced forward.
Long Haotian poured a cup of tea for himself, took a sip, looked at the person sitting in front of him drinking the medicine, and said casually:
"You haven't answered me yet, what's your name and where do you live?"
cough! Cough cough! A sudden choking cough made her chest feel uncomfortable, and she pounded her mouth with her hands to prevent the medicinal juice from spewing out of her mouth.
"Are you OK?"
Long Haotian had a smile on his face, his black eyes admiring her embarrassed appearance playfully.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
When the coughing subsided, Dongfang Jie scolded him in his heart. When she raised her head to face him again, her attitude was calm, and she no longer had the panic when she just woke up.
"The little girl's surname is Zhao Danmingling, and she lives in Chengdong Hutong. She heard that her aunt in the neighboring county was sick, so she wanted to take that shortcut and arrive before dark. Showed up just in time to save me."
"I see." He hummed lightly, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. "Miss Zhao, take a good rest, I'll see you later."
As soon as the words fell, the tall and tall figures suddenly came together, the robes were raised, and they turned away.
Dongfangjie stared at the closed wooden door, and a cloud of suspicion crossed his mind. She admitted that she did not reveal any flaws, why was Long Haotian's reaction so strange? It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, she'd better leave as soon as possible.
Silently opened the door, and when it was confirmed that no one was around, she jumped, performed light work, and a few ups and downs, without disturbing anyone to leave smoothly.
It's just that, as she thought, didn't it startle anyone
A tall figure hid in the dark, watching her leaving figure, and there was a strange light of hunting at the bottom of the deep black eyes.
After returning to the wing of the Longfeng Building, Dongfang Jie, who had torn off the human skin mask on his face, was about to rush to the yamen.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Cheng Gang's deliberately lowered voice.
"Is that you, sister-in-law?"
"Brother."
Dongfang Jie stepped forward and opened the door. As soon as Cheng entered the room, he glanced outside the door and made sure that no one was there before closing the door.
"How's the poison on your body?"
Cheng Gang was worried all night, and looked at her whole body with anxious eyes, until he saw that she was safe and sound, and then he put down the big stone in his heart.
"It's okay." His words stirred her anger and glared at him with fiery eyes. "Senior brother, how could you just throw me in a coma to Long Haotian!"
"Speaking of this matter, I would like to ask you a good question. Have you ever revealed your flaws in front of Long Haotian? Why does he care so much about you, a strange woman who has been disguised?"
He still remembered that Long Haotian's possessive attitude was so obvious that he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"impossible."
Dongfangjie said categorically that although she had suspected it, it was simply impossible.
"In any case, as soon as this case is closed, you will return to Luoyang immediately."
In order to avoid unintended consequences, it is better for the junior sister to avoid it for the time being. Regardless of whether Long Haotian was suspicious or not, it was not appropriate for the two to have too much contact.
"I see. Did you know the identity of the man in black?"
She had already planned to go back, after all, the elder brother had an order, but she didn't have the courage to disobey.
"The man in black called himself Shura, and the woman who escaped was named Rakshasa, and the butcher we killed was three siblings. They committed this crime mainly against our senior brothers and sisters, so be careful yourself. Also, fortunately, Shura was under no precaution and asked you to capture him. When he returned to the Yamen prison, he realized that this man was extremely powerful, injured several arrests, and almost escaped by him. And that Rakshasa who escaped, his whole body was covered in poison, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with next time."
Cheng Gang remembered Shura in the prison, with his hands and feet bound with chains. The two have committed multiple crimes, and it is clear that they are here for revenge. For some reason, he had a bad premonition, which made him worry.
"I will be careful."
Because of her carelessness, Rakshasa will take the opportunity to escape, and she will never try to escape from her hands next time.
"Junior sister, is your injury really okay?" Cheng Gang asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, just now I've taken the detoxification pill prepared by the third brother. I'll be fine."
Dongfangtang is known as a miraculous doctor in the rivers and lakes. Its medical skills are excellent, and it is endowed with benevolence and benevolence, regardless of whether the seeker is good or evil in the eyes of the world; therefore, there are many people in black and white who have received his favor and are extremely fond of him. Respect.
"Then I'm relieved. Now that I'm all right, let's go out for lunch together and discuss how to arrest Rakshasa."
Cheng Gang is now wholeheartedly wanting to arrest Rakshasa as soon as possible to prevent more people from being victimized.
"Okay, it does take a long-term view."
The brothers and sisters walked out of the room side by side, still discussing what to do next.
＊＊＊Exclusive production＊＊＊bbs.＊＊＊
The night falls, and all sounds are silent.
In the darkness, a strange presence awakened the light-sleeping Dongfang Jie, and shouted at the darkness where he could not see his fingers:
"who is it!"
With the fire book she quickly lit up, she was able to see the tall man sitting on the chair.
"Long Haotian, why are you here?!"
She exclaimed! When did he come to her room? She didn't even realize it. If someone wanted to kill her, she would have died no less than a hundred times earlier.
"scared you."
The deep voice contained a smile. The next moment, he lit the candle, and the room was instantly bright, allowing Dongfang Jie to see the food and wine on the table.
No way? This man didn't come to her room, just to get her to drink? A look of helplessness crossed Dongfang Jie's handsome face.
"Since you're awake, come and accompany me for a drink."
Black eyes glanced at her even when she went to bed, she was still dressed neatly. What is she guarding against? Or are you afraid your secrets will be revealed
"My lord, you seem to be insomnia a lot lately. Do you need to find a doctor for you? If you don't treat this minor illness, it will be bad if it becomes a serious one."
Dongfang Jie seemed to be kind, but in fact he was cursing around the corners, asking him not to disturb her dreams every three days.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Long Haotian's dark eyes were full of interest, and he looked at her with a dejected appearance.
"Of course. The noble status of the prince should not be underestimated."
The clear voice carried the usual sneer, no matter how helpless, he still paced to sit in front of him: staring at the table full of wine and food, but had no appetite at all. She really convinced this man. He didn't sleep at night, but came to harass her. During the day, he still troubled her energetically. She sighed that she was not as good as this kind of skill.
"I've been to the yamen. Those two are here for your brothers and sisters, have you thought of a countermeasure?"
The black eyes narrowed slightly, poured a glass of wine for her, and asked casually.
"Thank you, Lord, for your concern. Not yet."
Reluctantly cheered up, he drank the wine in one gulp, and his mind instantly sobered up a lot.
"What a twilight, where are you?"
Long Haotian stared straight at her with black eyes like torches, not letting go of any subtle expressions on her face, waiting to see how she answered.
"I... have other important things to deal with in a hurry."
Dongfang Jie's toasting hand was slightly stiff, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently.
"What could be more important than catching these two murderers? If you were there at the time, Rakshasa wouldn't have escaped."
"Yes, what the lord said is." A cold sweat ran down her back.
"You haven't answered me yet, what's the point?"
Long Haotian pressed the question without any hesitation, not missing her unconsciously pursing her lower lip.
"My lord, please forgive me. I shouldn't be affected by my personal affairs."
Dongfangjie raised his head, his eyes were bright and fearless, looking directly at him, confident that he would not be able to see through his identity.
"Oh, that's interesting. I've heard that wherever the Jade-faced God is arrested, women are fascinated by it. Could it be because of women?"
Long Haotianjun's face was half-smiling, but his black eyes were full of interest, and he was very interested in his answer.
"Your Majesty laughed."
Dongfangjie neither admit nor deny it. Is this man trying to trouble her tonight!
Long Haotian didn't say a word, but didn't press any further, his black eyes stared at her deeply for a long time, until Dongfang Jie was sitting on pins and needles, his thick voice seemed to be casual but also a little serious, and said indifferently:
"Dongfangjie, remember my words. If you are a woman, then you will never escape my grasp."
Dongfang Jie's figure was shocked, and his eyes lifted in shock, hitting the bottom of his deep and domineering black eyes.
This is the second time he has said such a thing.
In the space of an inch, there was an instant panic, which made her have to wonder if he knew something, or why would he say such words again and again.
"Your Highness, you really like to joke. Even though I am more beautiful than a woman, I am still a man, and I am a Jade-faced arrester bestowed by the Holy Spirit today. I hope that Your Highness will not say such things again in the future."
Dongfang Jie feigned anger, Jun Mei's face was a little stiff, maybe senior brother's suspicion was right, it seems that she needs to be more careful when facing Long Haotian in the future.
"My cousin, even though he is a noble today, there is no guarantee that he will not be confused."
Isn't there a living example in front of you
"My lord, it's getting late, please come back."
Dongfang Jie hurriedly chased her away, and let him stay, for fear that he would say something that made her tremble again.
"That's right. It's getting late, and it's time for me to leave."
With Long Haotian's tall stature, he knew that if he pushed harder, it would be counterproductive, and that was enough for her tonight.
"Please forgive me for not sending it."
Dongfang Jie secretly sighed. It's better for this god of plague to flash people quickly. Thanks to his blessing, in addition to losing sleep, she is still uneasy in her heart.
Long Haotian walked to the door, his tall figure paused, and turned around abruptly, just in time to meet the relieved expression on her face, and an unpredictable smile formed on the corner of his lips.
"Dongfangjie, do you know why I'm here tonight?"
"Didn't the lord want to come to me for a drink?"
"No." The black eyes looked directly into her eyes. "I'm just not worried about your injury, but now that you're safe and sound, I'm relieved."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jie's face changed greatly, and he forced a smile.
"I don't understand what you said, my lord."
Long Haotian laughed loudly, opened the door, and strode out, his thick voice drifting into the silent night.
"Dongfangjie, I want to see how long you're going to pretend to be stupid."
Dongfang Jie's handsome face darkened slightly, holding the porcelain cup in his hand tightly for a long time...
