C145

On a pier near the Yangtze, I barbecued a few yams, and a moment later, the aroma filled my nostrils.

I picked up a sweet potato and opened it, bringing it to Zhou Qinglian. "Young miss, try this."

Zhou Qinglian held the sweet potato in her hand, her eyes twinkling, she said: "I have been in Nanjing for more than three days, I never thought that the General Lin who is guarding the army, would actually be so simple, to actually be in the same group as the Si Nong, it is truly surprising."

"Does General think that this little girl will reveal it to the others?" Zhou Qinglian laughed.

I laughed. "No, no! "It's about time. I have to take my leave."

I said in my heart that we had wasted enough time here, but this Zhou Qinglian had spoken very meticulously, if I wanted to find out her true intentions, it would be extremely difficult, so I might as well just let her go.

Just at this time, a splash sound came from the water surface, and Dian Wei, who was at the side, shouted out, "There's an assassin, big brother be careful!"

While I was speaking, dozens of men with weapons and bamboo tube s stuck in their mouths popped out from the water. With a loud shout, they approached me.

I turned pale with fright and immediately picked up the spear on my back, throwing a man into the air. At this time, I also saw a cold light appear in Zhou Qinglian's eyes!

I thought, no, could there be a problem with this Zhou Qinglian?

However, the current urgent situation does not allow for me to think any further. I am holding my spear horizontally in the air and can retreat any further, but I did not expect that this group of assassins were all elites among elites.

Dian Wei bellowed: "Big brother, I'll block, you go first!"

"Alright!" I whipped my horse, and immediately helped Zhou Qinglian onto my warhorse. The warhorse galloped, and ran for around 30 to 40 metres.

But unexpectedly, a cold arrow suddenly appeared in the reeds in front of us, and there were two people in front of me, Zhou Qinglian and her servant. I immediately extended one hand out, but the arrow passed through my palm.

I wailed in grief and immediately shot an arrow at the archer. The archer died and the three of us came to a dilapidated temple.

But at this moment, my palm turned purple. I thought to myself, this is bad, this is probably poisoned!

At this time, I was lying on a pile of grass. Zhou Qinglian looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "General, I'll bandage you!"

"Miss!" The servant exclaimed, her expression complex as she looked at Zhou Qinglian.

Zhou Qinglian clenched her teeth and said: "Xiang'er, if you leave, I have my own plans!"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then nodded towards Zhou Qinglian, and immediately went outside the temple. Zhou Qinglian's beautiful eyes turned as she grabbed onto my injured hand, and took out a bottle of medicinal powder, and sprinkled it onto my palm.

She was extremely close to me. From her chest, I suddenly saw a bright dagger!

This woman was not simple!

However, at the same time, I also smelled the fragrance off Zhou Qinglian's body.

I didn't reveal her intentions but grabbed her hand. Her face reddened as she said, "General!"

I used my strength to pull Zhou Qinglian into my embrace. "You saved me today, so how do you want me to reward you?"

Zhou Qinglian turned her head to the side and said: "General doesn't doubt that I was the one who called out for you at this moment?"

I laughed out loud. "If you had any doubts, you wouldn't be standing here alive. Moreover, I believe that those who like my music all have a pure heart!"

Zhou Qinglian's face flushed red. No one knew what happened, but she suddenly fell into my embrace, her pink head leaning on my shoulder.

I thought about it and increased the strength of my grip on the green lotus. The rate at which my heart was beating rapidly increased so that I could hear it clearly. The green lotus said timidly, "General!"

I smiled and withdrew my hand, looking at her, but I didn't say a word, because I already knew that this girl was definitely an assassin. It was just that she didn't kill me, so I didn't know.

Zhou Qinglian bit her lips and fell into my embrace. She held onto my chest and said: "If you weren't Lin Mubai, then how nice would that be! If I wasn't Zhou Qinglian, how nice would that be!"

"Qing Lian, come back with me." I pretended to be affectionate.

However, she did not expect Zhou Qinglian to shed tears. She said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's because I …"

She no longer said anything, but at this moment, the maid appeared at the temple door. She cried out in alarm, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Down!" Zhou Qinglian bellowed.

"But …"

"No buts, go down!" Zhou Qinglian shouted in anger.

I caressed Zhou Qinglian's jade-like face. "Why aren't you coming back with me?"

"There are some things that I'd rather not wear. The general is fine now, and his injuries should be healed within half a month. I still have things to do, so I'll have to leave first." Zhou Qinglian said gently.

My eyes were slightly narrowed, but a hand was already placed on the pike of the pike beside me. I originally wanted to kill this woman, but seeing her deep feelings for me, it seemed that I had a deeper meaning.

"General." Zhou Qinglian looked at me.

"Hmm?"

"Don't forget the green lotus." Zhou Qinglian stood up and said.

Just then, the servant at the door looked at Zhou Qinglian with a face full of anger. The two of them did not seem to be master and servant, in other words, the maid was his master and the young miss was his servant.

However, her appearance was so beautiful that it was hard to forget her.

After a while, Zhou Qinglian used a hood to cover her face, she looked at me, that gaze made my tiger body tremble, she thought to herself, that look is so familiar!

Very quickly, Zhou Qinglian left with the servant girl, and when I stood up from the broken temple, I found that there was already a jade pendant by my side. I picked up the jade pendant, and discovered that there was the word "Zhou" carved on it.

I placed the jade pendant in my bosom and coincidentally saw Dian Wei walk over. Bathing in blood, I asked: "Dian Wei, how are your injuries?"

"Haha, those are a motley crowd. They've all been scattered by me!" Dian Wei laughed loudly.

My mind started working quickly, thinking that Zhou Qinglian had held onto a dagger, if she had given me a fatal strike while riding the horse, I would have definitely dodged it. But now that Zhou Qinglian did not make a move, it goes to say that this girl was here to assassinate me.

Could it be that my words just now influenced her?

No matter what, I have to be careful from now on, but when I walked out of the door, my eyes stared, because I remembered what that servant looked like, and she was clearly Sun Shangxiang!

Such an answer made me breathless. That woman is Sun Shangxiang, then who is Zhou Qinglian?

Logically speaking, she had a dagger hidden in her bosom. Just now, she should have assassinated me, but why didn't she do so?
