It was the end of February, and a spring rain came unexpectedly and fell between the villages of Qi'an County.

The drizzle was fine and dense, sliding down the soil outside the village, and a thin figure swayed to the edge of the canal that irrigated the farmland.

The assassination was obviously failed. Zhu Yeqing's mouth and nostrils were covered with blood, and there were a few bones broken in his chest. However, there was no pain in his eyes, but he was confused with some unknown how to explain.

Looking up, you can see Yue Jiheng holding an oil-paper umbrella from afar, looking at the door of the house under the hazy spring rain.

Zhu Yeqing thought about it, squatted down by the canal, carefully washed the blood on her clothes with a slightly cloudy stream of water, sorted her hair, and even took out a rouge box and applied it slightly on her face, making her face look a little bloody.

After doing all this, Zhu Yeqing suppressed the unbearable pain and ran to the village where he agreed to meet. He stood in front of the courtyard and said guiltily:

"Young Master, I was discovered by Cao Taisui and did not kill Concubine Zhu Qu."

"What?!"

Yue Jiheng was stunned, and then a little annoyed in his eyes. He walked up to him with an oil-paper umbrella and said in a deep voice: "You have been urinating in this business since you were a child. As long as you hide well, no one in the world can discover it in advance. Cao Taisui is also a human being, how could he be discovered?"

"I'm sorry, Master."

Zhu Yeqing lowered her head guiltily, looked at the tip of her shoes, and whispered: "Cao Taisui... is so amazing... I can't do anything about it..."

"It's not that you were going to kill Cao Taisui."

Yue Jiheng looked anxious and held an oil-paper umbrella to go back and forth: "Concubine Zhu Qu grabbed my handle. If the court knew about it, he would use this as a threat to let me stare at the Baidao Alliance, would I agree or not? If the matter does not agree, the elder brothers in the family will inevitably turn against me and become enemies. How can I be the leader? Concubine Zhu Qu must die. As long as she dies, she will die without evidence..."

Zhu Yeqing naturally understood this truth and hesitated a little: "But, with Cao Taisui here, I can't kill..."

"How is it possible? How did the family teach you? Looking for an opportunity!"

Yue Jiheng's eyes showed a little disappointment: "I know your ability. As long as you are willing, you will definitely find an opportunity... If you are afraid of death and are unwilling to go, I have never said it."

Yue Jiheng turned around and held his hands behind his back, no longer treating each other directly.

Zhu Yeqing pursed her lips, a very womanly move, and even her expression was a bit of aggrieved by her daughter's family.

But he is a man after all, and he is not cowardly at all.

"I... go again."

"Go and go back quickly."

Zhu Yeqing looked at Yue Jiheng's back, remained silent for a moment, but finally said nothing, turned around and headed towards the county town again...

------

In the middle of the night, Cao Hua stood at the window and watched the drizzle outside the courtyard, listening to Han'er's report on the situation.

"Another wave of people came, the bandits in Shimen Mountain, Qingzhou, with a total of seven people, who have been beheaded by Deputy Envoy Li..."

Since he was assassinated by Zhu Yeqing at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, all kinds of assassinations have followed one after another. In just two days, four or five waves of people came, including lone wolf who was determined to die, and some were in groups. Except for Zhu Yeqing, the target of the others is his Kyoto Taisui.

Cao Hua's identity was exposed and spread. This situation was inevitable. This was just the beginning. When major forces like Liangshan get news and rushed to Qi'an County, the scene would probably be no less than the six major sects besieged Guangmingding.

There are still three days left before the agreed time, and as moths hit the fire become more and more crowded, Cao Hua will inevitably be a little worried.

After all, he is not alone. Ten Black Yuwei, Han'er, and Miss Jing are all here. If he is made of dumplings by hundreds of experts in the martial arts world, he can leave as much as he wants, but Miss Jing and others can't do it.

Now Cao Hua finally understood why the former "Cao Hua" went out to do business, so he was unwilling to take the Hei Yuwei Guard. Because these little guys are really burdensome, Cao Hua, as the boss, was not worried about his comfort, but instead was worried about them, for fear that he would die by the people in the martial arts world if he accidentally went to bed and was uneasy these days.

In order to prevent mistakes, all the Black Feather Guards have tried not to go out these days, and they have worked in two shifts to patrol the house day and night.

Not to mention, Mrs. Jing had basically never left Cao Hua's sight. Concubine Zhu Qu took the initiative. If it weren't for Cao Hua's failure to let him go, Concubine Zhu Qu could have beaten the floor in his house. Now she ran to Cao Hua's side, which was Han'er's room and rubbed the bed, making Han'er angry but had no choice.

Even if you are so strict in defense, you cannot stop the people in the martial arts world from being able to defend.

Some were poisoned in the well and vegetables, some shot hidden arrows from afar, and some dressed up as county officials to come to deliver letters. What Cao Hua felt most incredible was a young man who was squatting in the pit and waiting. When he entered the pit, he came out of the pit and stabbed him.

Cao Hua didn't dare to fight back, and he was rarely chased by someone and walked around the pillar.

After experiencing such a thing, Cao Hua's temper was still furious and scolded Huang Tieqiao, who was in charge of the inspection.

Huang Tiehui is also quite innocent. Who would have thought that someone would dare to drill into the pit? Not to mention anything else, this kind of ruthlessness towards him is indeed admirable.

In just two days, Cao Hua and the people under his command were exhausted and couldn't sleep well.

After another wave of bandits who were trying to sneak into the house to assassinate in the night was killed, Li Bairen and others returned to the yard, cursing and swearing, washing the blood on their bodies with well water.

Han'er's face was slightly dark. After talking about the situation, she said a little annoyed: "Tie Xiao is too ignorant. Since there is something to discuss, the young master comes as promised. How can he let the young master wait here? When he sees someone, he must let them understand what it means to treat guests."

Cao Hua was still wearing a nightgown and rubbed his forehead: "Go to the door and stick a piece of paper. Tie Xiao will not show up tomorrow, so he will go to Wu'an Marquis' Mansion to see me."

"promise!"

Han'er was just thinking about this, so she walked to the desk, picked up her pen and wrote an ultimatum.

Candles are lit in the house, and the sound of rain outside is very meticulous, making it look particularly quiet.

Han'er was grinding his pen naturally, but as he was writing, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. In a blink of an eye, he saw that on the young master's bed, Mrs. Jing carefully stretched out her hand and prepared to pick up the dress thrown on the ground.

"Miss Han'er..."

Mrs. Jing's face turned red, and she naturally put her hand into the quilt, her eyes dodged, and she didn't know where to look.

Han'er blinked her eyes, her face turned slightly red, but there was no surprise, and she said softly: "Miss Jing doesn't have to get up, the thief has been killed, I...I'll go out later..."

Concubine Zhu Qu, who lives in the next courtyard, was already worried and ready to come over at any time. After hearing Han'er's words, she quickly interrupted: "Sister Han'er might as well live there and let the little husband come and sleep with me. Anyway, you don't like your sister."

"You think you are shameless!"

Han'er was furious and cursed without hesitation.

Seeing that Han'er was about to despise Zhu Qufei again, Cao Hua quickly raised his hand to smooth things over:

"Okay, just a joke. Don't speak so hard, after all, it's Xie Yijun's master."

"Xie Yijun is so righteous and has a reputation as Yuntian. How could he have such a master? It's really...it's really a disgrace to Xie Yijun's reputation."

Han'er snorted faintly, looking down on people from the world, and even Xie Yijun didn't like it very much, let alone Concubine Zhu Qu.
