As if sinking into the deep and quiet void, the lake water covering the ears cuts off all noise from the outside world, leaving only the sound of surging waves washing Lan Qiao's soul.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the sky is full of stars, and the dark clouds billow with the wind. When illuminated by the moonlight, it looks magnificent and psychedelic.

The water waves were undulating, but Lan Qiao's heart gradually calmed down. He allowed the undercurrent to pull and push him, wandering freely on the lake, feeling that the stars were getting closer and closer, and his worries were getting further and further away.

Just as Hua Yuxi said, the vast world made him forget his trivial worries and let him completely empty his mind, as if everything outside him was no longer important.

The lake water that supported the body was like an extremely soft bed, and like the arms of a mother when he was a child. The blue bridge lay on the lake like duckweed for more than half an hour, and then slowly floated back to the lake shore.

Hua Yuxi stood on the lake beach, looking at Lan Qiao lying at her feet with a smile and said: "What? Are you still not finished?"

"I wish I could just sleep like this." Lan Qiao sighed, "Sleep under the moon, by the lake, and under the skirt of a beautiful woman."

Hua Yuxi looked at Lan Qiao's burning eyes from below, her pretty face suddenly became hot, and she hurriedly lowered her body in a kneeling position and said softly: "Are you relaxed? Do you want me to rub it for you again?"

Lan Qiao shook his head and said, "That's enough."

Hua Yuxi was slightly disappointed, but she didn't force him: "Young Master has already figured out what to do?"

Lan Qiao didn't answer and asked instead: "Let me ask you, I didn't reveal anything to you just now, but you finally said that Miss Li's family and Miss Xu's family were both unimportant. Do you know what I was thinking?"

Hua Yuxi curled her lips and said, "Is it difficult to guess?"

Lan Qiao thought about it. Hua Yuxi was extremely smart, and it was normal to see through her own thoughts. She said helplessly: "Six days have passed, and Xiao Shu still hasn't found any clues. Sometimes I really doubt that she is not in the capital at all, but other than that

Where else could she be?"

"So you want to kidnap the third young lady?" Hua Yuxi broke through Lan Qiao's entangled reasons, "Tomorrow is the third young lady's birthday. With her relationship with Xiang Yixuan, there is no way that she will not inform the Xiang Mansion."

Lan Qiao couldn't help but admire: "You surprised me so much. You even remembered such details as Miss Xu San's birthday."

Hua Yuxi looked as indifferent as she should be, and said with a smile: "Today the young master went to Yunxian Pavilion for dinner, and he thought about it, so the young master thought that since he could not find the whereabouts of Miss Li's family, it would be better to kidnap Xu San

Miss, exchange with Xu Huizu again."

Lan Qiao looked at Hua Yuxi with a look of even admiration: "Things are roughly as you said, but this time the third lady actually proposed to celebrate her birthday in Xiang Mansion, which makes me more confident."

"Celebrating a birthday in the Xiang Mansion?" Hua Yuxi frowned and said, "With the status of Third Miss and Duke Wei, there must be many dignitaries from the capital coming to celebrate their birthday. Does she want to take this opportunity to highlight her relationship with Xiang Yixuan?"

Lan Qiao had never thought about this level, and said in confusion: "It's not that complicated, right? The third lady came here this morning. I don't think she is a scheming girl. This proposal may just be because she wants to get along with Xiang Yixuan."

Close."

"Oh? She doesn't look like a scheming girl? There is something behind what you said, sir." Hua Yuxi glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Isn't a girl like her who has no scheming more cuter than a cunning and cunning witch like me?"

"I didn't say that, don't overthink it." Lan Qiao said with a bitter smile.

"What's Xu Huizu's attitude?" Hua Yuxi snorted and asked again, "It's impossible for Xu Huizu not to know about such a big event as Xiang Mansion's birthday."

"She said that Duke Wei Guo has agreed." Lan Qiao nodded, "I think Xu Huizu may also be suspicious that we are hiding in the Xiang Mansion, so he just took the opportunity to go into the manor to have a look."

"It's possible." Hua Yuxi thought for a while and said, "At the same time, he can also consolidate the relationship between the Xu Xiang family and use the emotional bond between the third lady and Xiang Yixuan as his own political bargaining chip. Regardless of whether it is the application he has established

Both the Tianxin Army and the secretly led Erqihui will benefit from this."

Lan Qiao looked at her serious analysis of the problem and said with a smile: "Looking at you, who would have thought that just three days ago, you were also a key member of the Erqihui?"

"Is there anyone who talks like that?" Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "So the young master thinks that kidnapping Xu Miaojin can save Miss Li's family, but he doesn't want Xu Miaojin to be innocently affected and have an uneasy conscience, so he comes to the slave family in a dilemma?"

"That's right." Lan Qiao turned over and sat up, looking at Hua Yuxi and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"Actually, my most pertinent suggestion is to leave the capital as soon as possible and leave Miss Li and Miss Xu alone. No one knows how powerful Xu Huizu is in the capital. If you want to kidnap someone under his nose,

This transaction is simply asking for death. When we are exposed, we won’t even have a place in the capital, and your brother will suffer because of this. Think carefully about whether it’s worth it.”

"If you are afraid of death, just leave the city through the secret passage and take Lan Feng away. I will do it alone." Lan Qiao said resolutely, "A man has to do what he wants. Xiao Shu got involved in this matter because of me.

Here, I will save her no matter what."

"But what you did is simply a reckless act." Hua Yuxi said angrily, "In Jinan, you couldn't bring yourself to drug me, and in Yueyang, you couldn't bring yourself to do anything to An Yixin. Do you really dare to kill me this time?

Xu Miaojin? What kind of person is Xu Huizu? If you hesitate at all, you will commit suicide."

"I've done a lot of dangerous things, one more thing doesn't matter." Lan Qiao muttered, "You yourself sold yourself to me to save Banniang and the others, so what qualifications do you have to criticize me now?"

"How can this be the same?" Hua Yuxi lowered her head and said quietly, "They are my loyal partners I brought from Chushui City. No matter what the cost, I must let them go back safely. This is called responsibility. Miss Li's family does not

Likewise, what is the relationship between the young master and the Miss Li family? We can't get along with each other, so why take such a big risk for her that has no chance of success? "

"It all depends on man-made things. How do you know there is no chance?" Lan Qiao stared and said, "Could it be that you could predict the situation and know that I can't save her?"

"The slave family doesn't want to quarrel with the young master." Hua Yuxi felt aggrieved and said with clear eyes, "The slave family just wants the young master to consider the risks carefully and not take his own life too seriously. The second young master, the young princess, and the Feng family

Miss, they all still care about you. I think even Miss Li herself doesn’t want you to do such a thing for her."

"What about you? Do you care about me too?"

"Of course, the slave family belongs to the young master now. Whatever the young master wants to do, the slave family will do it. But if Xu Miaojin is really harmed by the young master, even if the young master can escape from the capital by chance, he will fall into endless self-blame and guilt.

I can no longer hold my chest high and be a good person." Hua Yuxi said seriously, "The slave family doesn't want to see the young master like that."

Lan Qiao narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you just say?"

"The slave family doesn't want to see the young master like that. When he hurts others, he hurts himself even more."

"last sentence."

"Master Xu Miaojinruoyin..."

"One more sentence."

Hua Yuxi was a little embarrassed, but she repeated in a low voice: "The slave family belongs to the master. Whatever the master wants to do, the slave family will follow suit."

Lan Qiao stood up in a hurry, his eyes flashed and he said: "Are you serious about this?"

Hua Yuxi also stood up slowly, gathered her clothes and saluted, "I'm all at the mercy of the young master."

Lan Qiao said in a deep voice: "Come to the room with me."
