Facing his girl's questioning gaze, Yun Liu turned his head uncomfortably, secretly clenched his fists and said, "Then he planned to use a cloth mixed with drug to stun his subordinates, and wait until the subordinates pretend to be unconscious...
He started trying to do something to his subordinates."
To be precise, it was not an attempt, but it was already done——
It's also because he has no experience in this area and didn't expect the other party to touch his face when he came up, otherwise he wouldn't have let the other party take advantage of him.
Not to mention that the other party took advantage of him and acted like a good boy, then called him a man.
But he would never tell anyone such shameful details.
Even so, there was silence all around.
Thinking of that situation and Uncle Yun's unyielding character, Xu Mingyi said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work tonight, Uncle Yun."
“Girl, you don’t have to say that—”
After all, the more he said this, the more it seemed like something unspeakable had happened to him.
Wu Chao's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Not only his eyes, but also the aura around him seemed to have become a bit colder than the night in the forest.
Xiao Qi secretly glanced at her master's expression.
At this time, Zhu Xiu ordered his subordinates to drag out the man in long gown who was knocked unconscious from the house.
Xiao Qi hurriedly followed in and said with a smile: "I'm here to help."
Seeing his enthusiasm, the attendant smiled and nodded.
Although the Xu and Wu families don't get along, they can't hit the smiling person with their hands.
However, the next moment, he suddenly heard a clear "click" sound——
Xiaoqi said "Ahhh", shook one of the arms of the man in long gown, and smiled horribly: "It seems that it was broken accidentally..."
The attendant was stunned and laughed dryly.
This is really careless...
The two of them dragged the person out with one arm each.
Yun Liu glanced at the arm of the man in a long gown, and when Xiao Qi passed by him, he whispered: "...Thank you."
The other party just touched his face with that severed hand.
King Dingnan was so sanctimonious, but he didn't expect that the followers around King Dingnan's grandson would be so jealous of evil.
Xiao Qi, who vaguely felt that the other party had misunderstood something, just nodded.
After all, when traveling in the world, the most important thing is to be calm.
Wu Chao glanced at the unconscious man in long gown and walked into the wooden house.
Anger is just anger, business is more important.
Even though the crisis seems to have been resolved at this time, no clues can be missed as it relates to Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi followed in later.
There was only a wooden table, a stove and an old straw mat in the house.
Wu Chao stood by the window, took the wind lantern from Xiao Qi's hand, raised it higher, and said, "What is this -"
Xu Mingyi heard the sound and moved over to take a look.
The lights were dim, and she was almost right next to him. Following his line of sight, she saw a plum blossom mark engraved on the edge of the window frame——
The window frame is old and dark in color, but the wood chips in the groove of the mark are still there, which is obviously newly carved.
"So this is the plan -" Xu Mingyi looked at the plum blossom mark and said softly.
If this plan goes well, will someone find her disheveled in this wooden house tomorrow, and many people will come to watch, and someone will exclaim and point to the plum blossom mark and shout that it must be the work of a flower picker?
She really couldn't figure it out.
We are both women, why do we have to deal with each other in this way? Is it because the world's restrictions and humiliation on women's integrity are not deep enough?
If the other party planned to stab her directly after knocking her unconscious, she could still take a good look.
"What does this plum blossom mark mean?" Wu Chao turned around and asked her.
The two of them were leaning in front of the wind lantern, they were right next to each other. When he turned around and lowered his eyes, his chin touched the girl's smooth forehead.
Xu Mingyi was startled, and subconsciously raised his head to look at him. They were so close, their eyes facing each other, as if even their breaths were entangled.
Wu Chao almost held his breath.
Under the dim light, he could even clearly see the thin down on the girl's white face. Her eyes were bright, the bridge of her nose was straight and small, and further down, her lips were as red as summer cherries——
At this time, the lips moved slightly.
But he quickly straightened his mouth——
Xu Mingyi's cheeks felt a little hot.
It wasn't that she was shy because she was so close, but because she was so beautiful...she could hardly resist the urge to lick her lips just now.
Realizing that she was inferior to a beast, she turned away her eyes with a guilty conscience, distanced herself without leaving a trace, pointed at the plum blossom mark and said: "This... is not an ordinary mark."
Wu Chao did not immediately look at where her finger was, his eyes still lingered on her face.
After a while, he asked: "How is it unusual?"
This voice was right next to my ears, and because the tone was particularly gentle and low, even though it was asking about something serious, it made people feel a little affectionate for no reason.
Xu Mingyi clenched his fingers slightly in his sleeves, tried hard to put away this inappropriate thought, and continued: "You arrived in the capital for the first time today, so you don't know that there has been a flower-picking thief in the capital recently. This thief is extremely cunning, and he always comes to the capital.
This plum blossom mark was left at the scene of the crime, and the incident became quite a sensation, and almost no one inside or outside the capital knew about it."
Flower picker?
Wu Chao's eyes suddenly became cold again, and he looked back outside the house - the man in the long gown had been taken away.
"It shouldn't be him." Xu Mingyi said: "The flower picker is probably one-armed, and his skills are not that weak."
What's more important is that Zhan Yunjiao and the others, who have not been found by the government and Uncle Zhu so far, have such extraordinary abilities that they can collude with me.
They just wanted to use this flower-picking thief's gimmick to make the matter as big as possible, so as to ruin the reputation of both her and the Zhenguo government.
"Don't worry, I couldn't have been fooled by such a trick from the beginning." Xu Mingyi said casually after noticing the mood of the boy next to him.
"I know-" The boy's voice was still not relaxed.
Of course he knew she couldn't be fooled.
He just felt that those people should not have such thoughts of blaspheming her, even just thinking about it.
Not to mention taking action.
"You should be more careful in the future." He still confessed.
At this moment, he even wanted to hide the person.
But the one who wanted to be hidden by him was not Xu Mingyi.
"I'll be careful." Xu Mingyi smiled at him and said, "Let's go."
Wu Chao looked around again before nodding.
The two of them left the wooden house, and Xu Mingyi ordered Zhu Xiu: "Leave two people to guard here. No one is allowed to approach this wooden house until the government comes to collect evidence."
Zhu Xiu quickly ordered two people to stay.
As for that group of people and Zhan Yunjiao, they were arranged to be sent directly to the government.
Seeing his own girl and Wu Shisun walking in front, Yunliu wanted to follow them.
Zhu Xiu grabbed him.
Yun Liu frowned and looked at him.
What does this mean?
...Watching the girl and Dingnan Wang Shisun walking alone?
Is this true?
It would be strange if the general found out and was so angry that he crushed a basket of walnuts!
