Qiao Ruoxi's fear was immediately reduced by half.

She grabbed the quilt on the bed and wrapped it around her body. With a trembling voice, she asked, "You, who are you?"

Under the dim light, the man gave a cold laugh and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in women. I'm only here to repay you for your kindness. "

He was a bandit from the Great Glow Mountain.

Qiao Ruo Chu shuddered.

The man seemed to be able to read her thoughts. With a cold smile on his face, he took out a small square box made of pear wood and placed it on Qiao Ruochu's dressing table.

Qiao Ruo's first glance was enough to determine that it was something of considerable value. It shone with an impressive brilliance in the dark night. No one could underestimate it.

It might have been stolen, or it might have been dug out of an ancient tomb.

They had long since heard that the bandits of the Great Bow Mountain had committed all sorts of crimes, and several of the ancient tombs surrounding the Xiang City had been dug out.

Qiao Ruo didn't dare to ask for it at first, nor did she want it.

"I, I can't accept such a precious item." Not daring to look at him, she lowered her eyes, her long, thick eyelashes covering them.

"Just a little thing, no respect at all!" The man's emotionless voice had a threatening tone to it, making it impossible for anyone to reject him.

"I'm going to Beiping. It's not safe." "No," said Joryleen, as the mosquitoes hummed.

"Beiping?" The man frowned, the side of his face like a statue in the haze.

"Fleeing." Qiao Ruo was afraid that he would insist, so she told him the truth.

It was too dangerous to run away with such a valuable item, and she thought he might understand.

"Escape from bandits?" The man asked softly, his voice was very magnetic, if she did not know beforehand that he was a bandit, Qiao Qing Ruo would have thought that he was a gentleman.

"No, that's not it, it's Wu Xiucheng. He wants to take me in …" Her eyelashes moved as she glanced at the man.

The man's face grew even colder.

His gaze was fierce, "He wants you to be his concubine? How did you hook up with him? Why did you go back on your words again? "

A kind of pain grazed Qiao Ruochen's heart, she wanted to curse.

However, the other party was a bandit, so she wouldn't dare to lend her 100,000 yuan.

"I've never seen him. "I never agreed." Qiao Ruo Chu's words were firm and resolute.

The man's eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. "Being an aunt is better than fleeing."

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried, "Really?" You must have a lot of concubines, too, haven't you? " Qiao Ruquan's tone was as cold as the snow in the middle of winter, while his gaze was as cold as a ten thousand years old snow field.

The man's heart skipped a beat.

"I, Lin Jun, am unable to get close to women." His face was full of pride, and Qiao Ruo Chu knew his name.

A bandit from Mount Dazhang named Lin Junmai was extremely handsome, claiming that he was not a woman.

Qiao Ruchu was silent.

There was nothing more to say to him, and if he insisted on putting it down, she would take it.

A man who came to her room in the middle of the night with no trace of apology on his face was no decent man. The further away he was, the better.

Faintly he turned and sat in the chair in front of her dressing mirror, his feet spread out to the level of his shoulders, his upper body straight, his posture elegant.

The room had the faint fragrance of jasmine.

Qiao Ruo Chu hid inside the blanket and considered how to send this god of pests away as soon as possible.

"No need to wrap it up, isn't it hot? Didn't you guys see it last time? " Lin Jun Mai looked at her, and couldn't wait to wrap her body from her eyes into the quilt. The corners of his mouth curled up as he spoke sinisterly.

The wind in his eyes was still as cold as ever, carrying along with it the loneliness of the night.

In the eyes of bandits and warlords, women were just one thing, they were made for men to play with.

Qiao Ruoxi bit her lower lip and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Clear as day." "It's late in the night. Please take it easy on yourself." She gave the order to leave.

She did not want to endure any more of his verbal insults.

Lin Junbai paused for a moment before he knocked on the box. "There's no need to run. Wu Qiu won't be able to live much longer." he said seriously.

Qiao Qing Ruo cast a sidelong glance and saw that he had trimmed the sideburns that didn't suit her at all. In her haziness, she made him seem even more handsome.

If one simply looked at his skin, his appearance and appearance was beautiful beyond compare. He truly was an elegant young master, an orchid tree.

It was just a bandit.

When people saw it, they would definitely lament.

Qiao Ruo knew that he still had a plan to assassinate him and prayed that he would succeed.

She did not understand politics or the grudges of the martial arts world. All she knew was that if Wu died, she would not have to leave her hometown and head to Beiping.

She hoped that Wu shi would die.

"Trust me." After saying this, Lin Junyi suddenly disappeared.

Qiao Ruoxi relaxed and got off the bed. Plugging the small pear wood box on the dressing table, she turned out the light and went back to sleep.

He slept soundly the entire night before waking up early in the morning.

Last night, it seemed, it had rained again.

The morning sky was filled with a faint fragrance. The night rain had washed away all the dirt and dirt, even the fragrance of the jasmine flowers had spread out in the humidity. As the wind blew, it floated into every open pore.

It was a refreshing morning.

When Qiao Ruo first came downstairs, her father had already left the house. Aunt Yu was sitting at the table waiting for her to have breakfast.

Her eyes were dark. She hadn't slept well last night.

Qiao Ruo's initial sleep was not bad. Perhaps it was because she had heard that someone was going to assassinate Wu shi. In her heart, she had fantasized about it.

Breakfast was soy milk, steamed dumplings, and youtiao. Qiao Ruochu had eaten a little of each and was very satisfied with it.

The house was as quiet as ever.

"Master went to the bank and saved all the money. He will take it out when he gets to Beiping." Auntie Yu lowered her voice as she spoke to Qiao Ruo Chu.

Qiao Ruchu blinked her eyes, signalling for her to stop talking.

She was worried that the wall had ears.

The fewer people who knew about this trip north, the better.

The phone in the living room rang. Sun Yiyi's mother answered, "Miss, it's for you."

Qiao Ruoxi happily ran over, she thought it was Feng Yan calling.

"Yan Er …" She was slightly surprised. The person on the other end of the phone was not Feng Yaner, but the son of the textile crocodile, Gu Fangfang. It was Gu Jun.

He wanted to invite her out for coffee.

Qiao Ruo didn't dare to go out at first. She was afraid that she would run into people who were successful in doing so. If they misunderstood and caused trouble for Gu Jun, it wouldn't be good.

"I … I'm afraid of heat. Why don't we change the day?" she stammered.

"How about this, there's an Italian coffee shop in the south alley with air-conditioning. We'll meet there." Gu Jun was very proactive.

The south alley was just behind her house. They were separated by a street and couldn't walk more than a few steps. Qiao Ruo at first couldn't find any reason to refuse, so she agreed to see him later.

She went upstairs and changed into a light blue dress embroidered with pure cotton with irises. It reached to her ankles and had five sleeves.

On a hot day, she had combed her hair and put it behind her head. There was no hair ornament. Her hair was as black as the clouds. It was simple and elegant.

"Auntie, I'm going to meet a friend at the Café Italia on South Lane. I'll be back in a minute." When she finished packing up, she told Auntie Yu.

Aunt Yu repeatedly warned her to be careful of her safety.
