Xiao Keer looked at the corpse on the ground, covering her mouth and trying not to show any timidity.
Ruan Xi frowned, sheathed her sword, and glanced to the side.
Xiao Keer looked at Ruan Xi: "How did he know there would be an assassin?"
"Master will know everything we don't know."
"You are about the same age, why do you call him Master?"
"Because the master does have abilities that we cannot match."
"Is his kung fu good?"
"Young lady should have seen the time when Master caused changes in the world."
"But he said it had nothing to do with him."
"Since the master doesn't want to say it, I can't say it either. If you have any doubts, the girl should ask the master herself."
The two women were having a simple conversation in front of the corpse, and Butler Liu shouted from behind: "Miss! Miss!"
Butler Liu came to Xiao Ke'er panting, and before he could catch his breath, he continued: "Things are a little bad. A maid said that she saw a suspicious person at home. This was related to the previous rumors in the city, saying that there was a Japanese assassin hiding in the city.
, I am worried that the house is not safe."
Xiao Keer smiled, turned sideways, and pointed in front of her: "Well, is this what you're talking about?"
Liu Keyuan looked at the corpse on the ground, took a breath of cold air, and took a few steps back: "This is..."
"This is the Japanese assassin. Mr. Xia has already calculated that someone will come to assassinate him. Now that the assassin has been killed, Butler Liu doesn't have to worry."
Housekeeper Liu did not dare to look at the body. He frowned and called the servants he brought with him, asking them to carry the body away.
Xiao Ke'er thought for a while and added: "But we can't be sure that there is only one assassin. Now the house must be completely cleaned up. Every place and every corner must be carefully inspected. There can be no relaxation."
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."
"By the way, the servants' scrutiny cannot be relaxed. Everyone must know the root cause."
Housekeeper Liu was ashamed. Knowing that the thief had entered the house due to his own negligence, he lowered his head and said yes.
Xiao Keer turned her attention to Ruan Xi again: "You are living here quite well?"
Ruan Xi said: "Thank you for your hospitality, girl. This time I helped Master deal with the assassin. We also wanted to say goodbye to the girl."
"Farewell?" Xiao Ke'er frowned, "Why are you leaving?
It’s so dangerous out there.”
"The purpose of our coming here is to kill the pirates. This is not our purpose in this city."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you tell your master?"
"It was precisely because I didn't want to disobey the master's order that I left so gracefully. I also asked the girl to tell the master that I was an unscrupulous disciple and had no chance to repay the master's kindness. If I can still survive this time,
I must go back to the teacher’s gate to apologize.”
Xiao Keer saw the determination on Ruan Xi's face and knew that they had made up their minds. She sighed: "Okay, I will take your words to you."
After saying that, Ruan Xi hugged Xiao Keer and left.
Seeing Ruan Xi leaving, Xiao Keer returned to her room and went to her bedside.
The sky is getting dark and it's another night.
Xiao Keer lit up the lamp and looked at the man on the bed smelling of alcohol through the faint firelight. Listening to his heavy snoring, she couldn't help but frown and whispered: "It's worse than a pig's screeching!"
Originally, Xiao Ke'er should be very tired, but for some reason, she didn't feel sleepy at all when she saw this man sleeping on her bed.
There were a lot more doubts in my heart.
He looks like a talented man, but he is actually an official. He calls himself a businessman, but the girl just now calls him the master.
What kind of weirdo is this?
Xiao Keer has come into contact with many people, but she has never seen such a weird person with so many identities.
Xiao Ke'er dragged her cheeks and squatted beside the bed to look at Xia Shang carefully. For the first time, she felt that a man could be so eye-catching, as if she really couldn't get enough of it.
"You know that someone is going to assassinate you, but you can still sleep like this?"
Xiao Keer smiled and pinched Xia Shang's nose cutely. The snoring in the room became louder for a while, but the little girl snickered even more happily.
…
…
After one night, the rain stopped, and a rare rainbow appeared in the sky in Xuzhou.
The gentle breeze blows on the face, which seems gentle and ambiguous even in winter. The refreshing coolness awakens the people in Xuzhou City.
The two people in the small boudoir opened their eyes almost at the same time.
The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time.
Forehead to forehead, nose to nose, eyelashes seem to be fighting in a flash, and you can feel the smell of each other with just a slight breath.
"what's the situation?!"
Xia Shang was confused and wanted to get up, but he felt that his hands and feet were restrained, making it inconvenient to move.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Shang relaxed a lot. It turned out that he was wrapped in a quilt, but this Miss Xiao actually pressed herself on the quilt and used it as a pillow to hold her tightly, with her hands and feet entangled in the quilt.
He couldn't move at all.
After a while, Xiao Keer finally woke up a little, and her face was like the sun rising outside the window, becoming red and hot at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But she forgot her movements and remained frozen there without saying a word.
"Um..." Xia Shang finally spoke: "Can you relax a little bit about that!"
It was okay that Xia Shang didn't speak. When he spoke, the little girl was so embarrassed that her whole body was numb and her hands and feet were stiff. She wanted to move but didn't know how. Instead, she hugged Xia Shang tighter, then closed her eyes and screamed.
"ah!"
This scream was so earth-shattering that Xia Shang sweated on his back and said to himself, "My aunt, can you keep a low profile? We don't have anything at all and we don't deserve such a surprise. Besides, if this matter spreads,
Someone saw it, but I couldn't explain it clearly.
But it was too late.
When the maid outside heard the young lady screaming so miserably, she thought something big had happened, so she forced the door open and more than a dozen maids rushed in.
As a result, I saw my young lady and my future uncle sleeping on the same bed, hugging each other tightly.
The scene was a bit embarrassing. The maids even brought sticks, but they all ended up being thrown on the ground.
"Well...I'm sorry...Miss, we didn't see anything."
The maids came and left just as quickly, and within a few seconds they were gone.
But Xia Shang saw a lot of people outside the window, and these little girls wanted to watch a movie secretly!
"Stop screaming! Let me go quickly!"
After the voice just now, Xiao Ke'er finally recovered, quickly jumped up from the bed, and hid behind the screen in embarrassment, wishing to get into the closet to hide herself.
Tiny laughter came from outside the window, and you can imagine how satisfied those little maids' inner gossip genes were.
Xia Shang got up, put on his clothes and said to the person behind the screen: "I don't know anything when I fall asleep at night. You can't blame me for this."
"Oh..." Exclaims came from outside the window, as if they had discovered a new world.
