C985

There was no candle fire in the room, and Gu Mingyan had goose bumps.

There are two beds side by side in the room. The bookshelves in the room are used by the two people to put clothes and some usual utensils. Even the desk has no drawers, no extra curtains, just to monitor their hands and feet.

Gu Mingyan found some medicine dregs that had been rotten for a long time in the room, but he could not distinguish the original appearance of these medicines.

Linger sits in a corner of the room and talks to her: "Uncle Huang has a bad temper. How can you see him?"

"He's your uncle, anyway. I'm not afraid to chill him." Gu Mingyan couldn't help chuckling, but he was playing with the only wooden boxes in the house. The powder inside could smell some flavor.

"My father is still my father, but I still treat me like this. I am right." It's very appropriate for linger to open his mouth softly, even when he smiles.

"But he was worried about you. He was young, ignorant and reckless. Now he is much mature. He doesn't have to be angry as before. Moreover, he can always remember your death and never forget it. Don't lose his heart because he doesn't believe it." Gu Mingyan put down several wooden boxes, walked slowly to her side, raised his hand to clean up her face side hair: "what he wants this time is you. It's really to know the emperor's mind, but it's also to save some of your mind that you are still alive."

Ling'er's eyes blinked, and the tip of his nose was sore: "but I was trapped here, and I didn't help at all..."

"That's enough. You can't just pester me these days, but you can also pester your uncle Huang. He must be happy." Gu Mingyan pinched her cheek, took half a bag of preserves from his arms and put them into her hands: "you can leave some for him and listen to him personally."

Smart nodded, ling'er had one first, listening to Gu Mingyan continue to rummage in the room looking for something.

"Asshole! Brother, give it to me! "

Outside the yard came the voice of a strange man. Gu Mingyan hurriedly went to ling'er's side and asked her to sit in the side of the bed, holding Duan Chengxuan's knife in his hand, while the voice of those people gradually approached.

"What's the matter?" Ling'er crouches on the bed and asks in a low voice.

"Don't move." Gu Mingyan holds the powder in his purse.

"Whew -" a sleeve arrow pierced the window paper and inserted it into the wall.

Gu Mingyan jumped in surprise, leaned against the wall and said that he was unlucky.

"You thief! Don't go any further! " This is the voice of the guard.

Gu Mingyan looks out of the window carefully through the broken window paper. Several men in ragged clothes have been injured. Several people are surrounded in the corner by the guards. One of them shouts with his head bared: "want gold! Just run out for me! "

Several people behind also followed with a cry, the guards were caught by surprise.

Gu Mingyan rushes out with cold face holding the powder, only to see a flash of the figure in front of him. The blade under the candlelight is like a flame. Before Gu Mingyan pushes the door open, his bare head has been cut off. Duan Chengxuan is throwing away the blood of the blade on his hand. The color in his eyes is also a little lighter, with some scarlet on his face, like the infernal Shura.

Looking at the back of the man dyed with blood, the guards behind them hurriedly grabbed several people's movements were not clear.

Duan Chengxuan turned around and looked at the knife and powder in her hand. The murderous intention of her eyes weakened a lot. She stepped forward smoothly and raised her hand and pinched her chin: "scared?"

"Some..." Gu Mingyan seldom saw Duan Chengxuan's real appearance. She didn't know why he was a ghost in Tianyan city. But now she looks up a little and looks at the red eyes reflected by the torch outside the door and the bloody cheeks like a knife.

Duan Chengxuan was stunned for a moment. He wiped the blood on his face and pretended to be angry: "knowing that there is danger outside, he will come out?"

"If I don't come out and they hurt your niece, don't you want to fight with me?" Gu Mingyan takes out his veil and wipes his face.

Cold face man slightly bent down to facilitate the action of taking care of Mingyan, and said: "that's also your niece."

The strength of Gu Mingyan's hand deepened a bit: "say something, what's the matter with these people?"

"These are the mountain bandits wandering around Tianyan City, as Mo Yi said before. I just didn't expect that the mountain villa is so gloomy and terrible. They dare to come in and search for things. It's really brave." Duan Chengxuan sneered, and had to wipe his face with a veil. Looking at her, he said, "there is gold here."

Gu Mingyan, with a heavy face, shook his head: "is it difficult that the emperor should also hide some private money here?"

"I don't know. I'll send someone to take the gold back later, so as not to be targeted and damaged here again." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand, and the long knife in his hand had already been thrown into the hands of his subordinates. After rubbing Gu Mingyan's shoulder to comfort him, he stepped into the room and simply carried ling'er to his back, saying: "it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Those corpses are rotten and there are many unknown herbs left. We will study them carefully when we go back."

"Good." Gu Mingyan nods.

These bandits are so strange. I don't know whether it's coincidence or because someone is behind them.

Returning to the carriage, several subordinates carefully rummaged some wooden boxes and took them back according to the house that ling'er knew. After counting the gold, they climbed onto the carriage and whispered, "Lord, there are twenty thousand liang of gold, several big boxes, and a box of women's jewels."

Gu Mingyan opened his eyes: "twenty thousand yellow chickens! I'm afraid there are more than in the Treasury. "

"There's something wrong with this. I'd better go back soon." Duan Chengxuan took a worried look at Gu Mingyan and ling'er, thinking that at that time, he was afraid that he would bring someone with him to come here in person. Otherwise, they would be worried.

Gu Mingyan nodded seriously.

What's the idea of this Cong?

……

In the dead of night, Duke Huang hurried all the way back to the emperor's bedroom from the gate of the palace.

When he was supposed to have a rest, Duan Cong sat on the side of the bed wearing only a thin coat, reading a manuscript of unknown people in his hand, watching Duke Huang rush to his eyes, kneeling on the ground with a plop and shouting in a low voice: "the emperor is not good! Today, his Highness Prince Jing took Princess ling'er to the villa and was touched by the bandits... "

Duan Cong raised his head from the manuscript, and a pair of cold eyes made Mr. Huang swallow all the remaining words back to his stomach.

"Before tomorrow morning, let Ruier see you in the Royal study."

Then he buried himself in the manuscript.

Now that ling'er and min had been sent out, he knew that his brother would never wait to die.
