In the main house in the backyard.
Lighted candles dispersed the darkness.
Beside the square table, Luo Heng, Mu Qingwan, and Ye Wan'er were talking.
"That's pretty much it."
"The old man won't go near the backyard from now on. You don't need to pay attention to him. Oh, if something happens, you can also send him to run errands or something. Anyway, there is no need to be polite to him."
"Also...if anyone asks, just say that he is my newly bought old servant. His previous name is no longer used. Now he is only called Lao Wan."
Luo Heng said nonchalantly.
He casually made up a new name for Li Qianjue.
The so-called thousands of things are nothing.
Then let’s take the surname Wan!
After listening carefully, the girl nodded.
She understood.
It was Luo who took in another person.
It was the old man in black he met that day.
The girl didn't care at all.
As long as Luo does something, she always agrees.
Whatever it is.
Ye Wan'er was obviously much more thoughtful.
She hesitated and asked in a low voice.
"Will there be any trouble?"
She was afraid that the boy would cause trouble if he took the old man in, and she was also afraid that the old man had ulterior motives.
After all, judging from what happened at the liquor store that day, the old man in black was obviously not a good person.
She didn't want to see any harm done to the boys and girls.
However, she was worried that if she spoke too much, the boy would think she was dictating.
"Don't worry, his life is in my hands."
"As for the trouble...you will know in three days."
Luo Heng guessed Ye Wan'er's worries and explained.
Ye Wan'er nodded and said no more.
Since the young man knew what was going on, she no longer had to worry about this or that.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Ye, I need to tell you that the old man is from the Dragon Temple, but his hands have not been stained with the blood of innocent people. I can guarantee this."
Luo Heng added something as if he remembered something.
Ye Wan'er was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that the old man in black was still from the Dragon Temple.
However, she didn't say much and just said yes to show that she understood.
In fact, Ye Wan'er hated Henry Zhang and those who participated in the destruction of the Ye family.
She didn't see Li Qianjue at Ye's house that day.
I think this old man was not involved in this matter.
Seeing that Ye Wan'er didn't say anything, Luo Heng nodded secretly.
He didn't want to get into trouble with his future right-hand man because of these little things.
Fortunately, Miss Ye is someone who can carry things clearly, which saves him from having to waste time talking.
"There is one more thing that I need to tell you in advance."
Luo Heng thought for a while and looked at the girl and Ye Wan'er.
The girl immediately showed a listening look, her expression looked very serious.
"After a while, I plan to go to the capital... Of course, I will take you with me."
Luo Heng said thoughtfully.
He had not planned to go to the capital so soon.
It's just that some recent events have caused a slight change in his mentality.
He wanted to deal with the protagonist group more proactively instead of passively waiting for them to come.
"I'm OK."
Ye Wan'er immediately said there was no problem.
On the girl's side, there was a rare hint of sadness and uneasiness on her delicate little face.
Obviously, she now knows a lot of common sense and understands what the capital is.
That was her former home!
There is the Wuwei Hou Mansion there!
There's a lot of bad stuff out there!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Luo Heng stretched out his hand, placed his fingertips on the girl's eyebrows, and gently wiped away the worry and anxiety between her eyebrows.
The girl pursed her lips and nodded.
Yes, with Luo here, I'm not afraid of those bad things.
But...what if they also bully Luo?
Well, then I'll bite them to death.
But there are so many of them, can I bite them?
Suddenly, the girl felt a little troubled.
…
The night was dark and the gurgling rain was supposed to lull you to sleep.
Suzaku, who was standing under the eaves of a shop, felt a little irritable.
The exercises and sword techniques she practices have the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind.
In the past, her mood rarely fluctuated.
But this time, she couldn't calm down.
The Dragon Temple bandits ran away, and Xuanwu went to track them down.
She originally wanted to go with him, but Xuanwu was afraid that she would get caught in the rain, so he asked her to wait here.
In fact, she is not afraid of getting wet.
You’re not afraid of killing people, but you’re still afraid of just rain?
But...seeing Xuanwu's doting and caring eyes looking at her, she couldn't say any words of rejection.
She knows everything.
It's just that there are some things that she doesn't dare to touch.
She is afraid of being addicted, afraid of falling, afraid of being unable to extricate herself.
In the end, she ended up with the same fate as her master.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the rain is getting lighter.
Xuanwu never appeared.
Suzaku subconsciously tightened the rapier in his hand.
Could he have had an accident?
Should I go find him?
But what if he comes back and can't find me...
Suzaku, who had always remained calm, felt ripples of trouble in his heart.
This made her very irritated.
Far less enjoyable than killing someone.
She couldn't figure out why there were people in this world who were greedy for love between men and women.
"Suzaku..."
Just when Suzaku couldn't wait any longer, Xuanwu's figure flew over from an alley.
She suddenly seemed to be relieved and calmed down.
He became that cold Suzaku again.
"Sorry, I lost you."
After stopping in front of Zhuque, Xuanwu looked ashamed.
In fact, after following Li Qianjue all the way, he had already locked onto Li Qianjue's aura.
Even if it rains heavily, he is not afraid of Li Qianjue getting lost.
But by chance, when he chased him to Chengnan Street, Li Qianjue's breath disappeared.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
He searched all the suspicious places nearby, but could not find any trace of Li Qianjue, so he could only return in dismay.
Suzaku glanced at Xuanwu.
Xuanwu seemed to be fished out of water at this moment, his whole body was soaked with a guilty look on his face.
Her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
Blame Xuanwu for missing you?
She didn't want to, and she was a little reluctant.
"Li Qianjue suffered a sword injury and may not recover within three to five days. As long as we block the north and south exits, he won't be able to escape."
"It's raining too much today. It will be inconvenient to search after all. Why don't we wait until tomorrow?"
Xuanwu thought for a while and said.
In fact, as he said, as long as the north and south exits of Linxi County are blocked, there is no way Li Qianjue can escape, unless this guy has wings.
"good!"
Suzaku replied concisely and concisely.
She didn't want to continue the search.
Xuanwu still had injuries on his body, and he thought she couldn't see it, but in fact she had already seen it.
Even if you are injured, you still have to show off.
This fool.
Thinking about it, Suzaku's indifferent heart suddenly softened.
"Don't take the Governor's mission too seriously. There are so many gangsters in the world that we can't kill them all."
"Okay, I guess I said something wrong. If you really want to kill Li Qianjue, I have another way..."
"Let's go to the county government for help...not the county magistrate, but a strange man, Mr. Su Yunxuan, eh? You don't believe it, really, I won't lie to you, I dealt with him when I was in the north, it was really cool He is full of clever ideas..."
As if afraid that Suzaku beside him would be unwilling to accept it, Xuanwu babbled to comfort him.
However, he seemed a bit clumsy and clumsy, and the more he spoke, the more Suzaku didn't believe it.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked along the eaves of the shop corridor towards the north of the city.
The vast rain seems to be unable to extinguish the gradually restless hearts of men and women.
