With her back pressed against the stone wall, Xia Qianqian shrunk her figure and nestled in the crack of the wall, holding her breath and concentrating.

The drizzle trickled down along the cracks in the rocks, fell into her neck, and penetrated into her back, making her tremble with the cold.

The man's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and as she turned around the diagonal corner of the wall, she could even see clearly a hem of his clothes.

"Master Luo..." Suddenly, Xiao Yong's voice sounded from the arch in front, "So you are here!"

"Why is it you?" Luo Hong's voice was very impatient.

"It's me."

Xiao Yong remained silent and humble, "The bandits attacked, and the soldiers fought bloody battles to protect their families and the country. In the name of the young master, I sent supplies to everyone. Please accept them, Mr. Luo."

"Leave these things to others." Luo Hong not only did not leave, but took another step forward.

Xia Qianqian's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"But Mr. Cao specifically told me that this matter will be handled by you." Xiao Yong insisted.

Luo Hong's sinister eyes glanced at the side of the stone wall. Under the foggy weather, no one could be seen.

Coincidentally, the branches on a big tree fell with the strong wind and fell to the ground, making a "crack" sound.

Luo Hong looked relaxed and strode back forward, "Come on, let's go take a look. It's too troublesome for your young master."

"Master Luo, you're being polite." Xiao Yong answered.

The voices of the two became farther and farther away.

Xia Qianqian quietly poked her head through the cracks in the stone to check the situation, when a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind the stone wall.

He grabbed her waist, rolled her up, and quickly jumped over the stone wall.

The whole movement was as fast as lightning. Before she could react, she had already fallen into a warm embrace.

A pair of big hands hugged her waist, a gentle breath blew on her neck, and the corner of the helmet rubbed her cheek.

The man's special aura enveloped her whole body, and Xia Qianqian was frightened out of her wits. The faint scent of Ningshenxiang on the tip of her nose made her calm down all of a sudden.

He raised his eyes and met a pair of dark eyes.

The wide helmet covered most of his face, but it couldn't conceal the peerless elegance in his eyes.

"Ugh..." Xia Qianqian wanted to speak, but he stopped her with his eyes.

The two of them clung to the outside of the stone wall, with a cliff less than a foot in front of them. The Fu'an River rolled in and slapped on the reef, making waves.

"Pa!", following the sound of invisible footsteps, someone came up to them and placed a hand on the stone wall above their heads.

Xia Qianqian listened carefully and heard it by her breath.

It's a man.

She quickly held her breath and concentrated, and her cheek happened to be pressed against the silver-white breast shield on his chest. It was cold and cold, but she was too frightened to move.

The man stood quietly in front of the stone wall for a while, looking into the distance.

After waiting for a moment, he turned around, his footsteps were very light, and he left slowly.

Waited for a while.

There's no movement, it's safe.

Xia Qianqian breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Does this mean you are scared?"

There was a hint of teasing in the voice next to my ear, "When I was in the front hall just now, I was not afraid even if the sword was pressed against my neck."

"Can it be the same?"

Xia Qianqian hugged his waist and didn't dare to let go, "In front of so many people, if you give Luo Hong a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to kill in public. I'm just trying to show off. There will be no one around, so he will kill

I threw it down the cliff, and I didn’t notice it. I didn’t want to hide, so hurry up..."

She urged him, "Let's go up first and then talk."

Standing on the edge of such a high cliff, people feel very panicked.

Ji Zimo hugged her waist tightly, and with a lift, the two of them climbed over the stone wall and fell directly to the ground.

With her feet on the ground, Xia Qianqian finally gained confidence, "Did you just hear that? It was Luo Hong who conspired with others to assassinate Mr. Cao, and one of them was the person who hijacked Yuanbao and me that day."

"I heard it." He looked at her without any emotion.

Xia Qianqian was suspicious, "But you don't seem nervous at all?"

"I..." Just when Ji Zimo was about to answer, his expression changed, and he reached out to hug her into his arms and hid in the dark.

"You..." This stinky gangster can't always take advantage of me because of his extraordinary appearance.

Xia Qianqian was about to have an attack, and when she glanced at her, she saw several black figures leaping over the stone wall, jumping a few more, and headed towards the main room in the backyard.

Cao Ran is in danger.

The two looked at each other, had no time to argue, and quickly left in the direction of the back hall.

After walking through the long corridor, they came to the back hall, jumped over a wall and climbed through the window. The two took a shortcut and hid behind the desk in the house.

This back hall was originally the classroom for students.

There is a large table in the front, with cyan curtains hanging on both sides. Under the steps, there are children's desks lined up.

At this time, the desks were stacked on top of each other, and in the center, four small tables were put together to form a large bed.

Cao Ran slept with his clothes on, lying on it without even a quilt covering him.

Xia Qianqian glanced over and couldn't help but sigh.

Cao Ran, he really doesn’t treat himself as a casualty.

While he was cursing, a figure flashed at the door. Luo Hong bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I have handed over the materials sent by Mr. Mo and distributed them to the soldiers."

"Oh!" Cao Ran's deep groan sounded from the couch.

Luo Hong seemed worried. He took a few steps forward and raised his voice: "Sir, how are you doing? Do you need me to ask a doctor to take a look?"

"Oh!" Cao Ran's voice came out of his nose, so vague that it was difficult to hear what he had done.

"Sir!" Luo Hong called again, and his hand fell on the hilt of the sword unconsciously, "Sir, there is a new situation on the river, and I would like to report to you..."

The person on the couch was motionless.

Luo Hong holds the handle of the knife in his hand and approaches the bed step by step.

"My lord..."

He saw Cao Ran's face clearly and called out again. Cao Ran seemed not to have heard him, and the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood.

The stern look in Luo Hong's eyes flashed past, and with a "swish", he pulled out the sword from his waist, and the blade went straight to Cao Ran's head.

Soon after, Cao Ran on the couch suddenly rolled over to avoid her attack, and then a sharp sword struck Luo Hong's wrist.

Luo Hong was shocked and turned pale. He ducked back to avoid the attack and took a closer look.

This person is not Cao Ran himself at all.

The curtain beside the front desk flashed, and Cao Ran walked out slowly, "Luo Hong, I will treat you well, how dare you betray me?"

Luo Hong looked ferocious and sneered coldly, "Cao Ran, you are only letting the capital enjoy its good life, but you insist on staying in Jiangcheng. If it weren't for you, the position of general would have been mine."

"For the position of a general, do you dare to conspire with the bandits?" Cao Ran couldn't help but feel sad and asked: "Do you know that this is a serious crime against the Nine Clan?"

"If you die quietly today, who will know that I have committed a big crime?" Luo Hong's eyes turned red for a moment, he picked up his sword and ordered: "Kill Cao Ran."

Suddenly, several men in black rushed in from outside the door and started fighting with the guards under the eaves.
