Su Rong met Lan Niang's shocked gaze and nodded sincerely. Zhou Gu was very good. He was very good as soon as he saw him, and he felt very good after being in contact with him sincerely.
She took a sip of wine and sighed, "It's just that the lintel is too high. I wonder if I can..."
Just as she was speaking halfway, her face suddenly turned cold, and she threw the wine jar behind her. There was a "pop" sound, and the aroma of wine overflowed. She turned around suddenly, and at the same time, she also picked up the wine jar on the table.
A jar of unopened wine was also thrown out.
The wine jar made a "pop" sound, and was pierced by the tip of the sword. The fragments flew into the air, and the wine splashed everywhere. Only a black shadow was seen, holding a sword in his hand. The sword glowed with a cold light and stabbed straight towards Su Rong.
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Su Rong pulled out the dagger hidden in her arms and faced the sword. There was a "clang" sound and the swords struck each other.
The man took a step back, his hooded eyes seemed to be shocked by something, and after a moment, he quickly withdrew.
This incident happened, but in the blink of an eye, Lan Niang had already pulled out the sword from her waist. Before she could take action, the man left. She put away the sword and said strangely: "Isn't this man here to kill you? Why?
Just after meeting each other, you left?"
This is so strange! This was not the case back then.
Su Rong thoughtfully looked down at the dagger in his hand, "Maybe it's because of it?"
The dagger in Su Rong's hand was a dagger that was as sharp as clay. The dagger was engraved with complicated patterns. She had checked it since the day she got it. There was no engraving or marking, except for this complicated pattern.
The pattern style is unusual.
"Where did you get this dagger? It looks very expensive." Lan Niang was confused.
"I saved a person a few days ago. I want to ask that person for the reward." Seeing Lan Niang's curiosity, Su Rong handed the dagger to her.
Lan Niang took the dagger, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "This pattern is very special. It must be the work of someone who is good at carving. Ordinary craftsmen cannot carve such a style."
"Yeah." Su Rong asked someone to ask for it because it looked particularly good. She didn't want an ordinary dagger.
"Didn't you ask about that person's identity?"
"I didn't ask. We met by chance. It was just a coincidence that I rescued him. It was enough for me to ask him for a dagger as a reward for his effort."
"But now this dagger seems to have a great origin, and it can actually help you fight off the people who came to kill you. How about I find someone to find out the origin of this dagger?" Lan Niang asked, "We can also follow the clues and see what it is this time.
People come to kill you? After all, over the years, the people who come to kill you are mysterious and cannot be traced. They are all dead soldiers."
"No need." Su Rong didn't want to go to such trouble. "Ever since my mother left, people have come to kill me every year. I'm used to it. What if I know, but what if I don't know. I'm as insignificant as an ant crawling on the ground.
Even if I know, I can't do anything about the people who want to kill me now."
Lan Niang disagreed with this, "That was in the past. Now we have some foundation. We may not be able to shake a tree with a fly."
Su Rong looked at her, "You have suffered so much since childhood, and finally settled down here. I still hope that you and your wife will live peacefully and not die for me. In our opinion, we have some foundation now, but in those days
It seems that the rich and powerful are not worth mentioning and are vulnerable to attack. Be honest!"
Lan Niang sighed, a little depressed, "Are you just going to endure it?"
She said seriously: "You have given us a stable life, and we have saved ourselves from being homeless, starving and freezing to death. Everyone wants to do something for you, even if they die for you, they will not hesitate."
She paused and then said: "How old were you when I met you? At such an old age, you have to support a lot of us. Now some people are married and have children, some are married and have families, and some are like me.
, stable and prosperous, who would dream of such a good day? Even if we die for you, it is our duty. Without you, we would have died long ago."
Su Rong laughed, stretched out her hand to pinch Lan Niang's face, "Okay, don't keep saying this, I can't bear to be displaced. When it snows, the ruined temples and caves are full of dead bodies. Who told me that I am not a peaceful person at all?
Where is the young lady who is staying in the boudoir? Just think of me as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues to bring blessings to myself. Otherwise, I have been stumbling for so many years and I would not be alive today. I would have gone to Jiuquan to find my mother to solve my doubts. "
Lan Niang was also amused. She gave Su Rong an angry look and her depression was gone. "Anyway, don't carry everything on your own. All of us are here."
"I know." Su Rong smiled and withdrew her hand.
Lan Niang sighed, "Hey, you said your mother didn't leave you a single word before she left. Does she know that since her death, someone has been trying to kill you?"
"Who knows." Anyway, her mother was dead, so she couldn't ask.
"I guess you generally know about it, right? Otherwise, why would she arrange a marriage for you at the Protector's Palace? She must have found the Protector's Palace for you to rely on."
Su Rong said: "Zhou consulted the old protector of the country, and the old protector of the country told him that our family was kind to him, and it was the old protector of the country who initiated the engagement."
She couldn't figure it out and knocked on the counter, "Bring me another jar of wine."
"Drink less, you smell like alcohol. Even if you break a bottle in front of your fiancé, you should be careful not to hurt yourself." Although Lan Niang said this, she still brought a jar of wine to Su Rong and handed it to her.
.
Su Rong reached out to take it, opened the mouth of the jar, took a sip, wiped the wine stain on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I care about my life more than anyone else."
Lan Niang frowned, "Since you have made an engagement with the Protectorate for a long time, why has no one from the Protectorate come to see you for so many years? If only the Protectorate had paid more attention to you and moved around more frequently, it wouldn't have happened.
Does anyone dare to assassinate you?"
"The old Lord Protector must have his own considerations." Su Rong didn't understand. "The people who want to kill me are always sneaky and don't make a big noise. Just like this time, only one person came and followed me.
At this point, I didn’t take action until I entered the house. I have never done anything on the street. I was probably afraid of being bumped into and causing trouble. It can be seen that the person who wanted to kill me also had scruples and didn’t want to make a big fuss. In addition, the other party should be
Don’t be afraid of the Duke Protector’s Mansion. After all, Zhou Gu is in Jiangning now. Aren’t the people who killed me coming in the same way?”
"Yes." Lan Niang nodded, "It's not a secret that Young Master Zhou is here in Jiangning. It has been spread throughout Jiangning County and everyone knows it. Those who want to kill you should naturally know that Young Master Zhou is in Jiangning."
"Well, if he really killed me today, wouldn't he be afraid of Zhou Gu's investigation? Will the Protector's Office just let it go? So, we can only say that the other party is not afraid of the Protector's Office." Su Rong analyzed.
Lan Niang indeed felt that Su Rong's analysis was right, "It's true."
