When the torches of the Forbidden Army illuminated the alley, Shi Qinghuan leaned into the man's arms, put her arms around his neck, and leaned sideways on the side of his neck.
Just right, covering both of their faces.
The man also understood her intention and held her waist tightly.
It's an act, but it's also a blackmail.
The man's breath spread in front of him, which was the extremely rare agarwood fragrance of south pansy.
This man's identity is definitely not simple.
"Who is there?"
When the imperial guards looked over, Shi Qinghuan pretended to be panicked and retreated into the man's arms.
The snow-white skin was gathered up by the clothes at the right time.
The man also cooperated in adjusting his clothes, and the two of them were completely panicked as if they had been caught accidentally.
The Imperial Guards looked at each other, smiling unmistakably.
"Hmph, it's ridiculous in the streets of this grand city. If you hadn't been involved in something important today, I would have arrested you and sent you to jail to behave yourself."
"Okay, let me ask you, have you seen anyone escaping from here?"
Shi Qinghuan pointed to the right side with his trembling little finger. The Imperial Guards snorted and hurriedly chased after him.
Hearing the footsteps disappear, Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly let go of the man.
Just as he was about to straighten his clothes, he was pulled into the man's arms again with great force.
"You are very brave to throw yourself into the arms of a man you have never met late at night!"
The voice was low and deep, like the dull echo of a deep cliff in the sky. It carried a deep and cold pressure, which made Shi Qinghuan's heart tremble and he did not dare to act rashly.
"Young Master is joking. In the majestic place of Kyoto, Young Master is definitely not a bad person. Besides, I saved Young Master just now!"
Shi Qinghuan's voice was very soft, so soft that even a man would be soft-hearted.
But the man in front of him was obviously unmoved.
While holding Shi Qinghuan's waist with one hand, the other hand clasped her neck.
The fingers are long and slender, showing rough frosting.
"Save me? Save yourself!"
The man chuckled and rubbed her ear with his fingertips, causing a tingling sensation in the extreme tension.
Shi Qinghuan's body trembled, and she subconsciously tried to push him away with her hands, but the man clamped her tighter.
The man possessed him and sprayed his breath, "Before you lie next time, at least clean up the blood stains."
Shi Qinghuan's heart sank slightly, but he smiled calmly, "Young master is joking, how can there be blood on my body, and it's pitch dark here, how can you see it?"
"Yes, it's certainly not as bright as the lights in the Marquis's residence."
In a word, murderous intent appeared in Shi Qinghuan's eyes, but it was light and buried quickly.
She is no match for men, so she can only find another way.
At this moment, footsteps sounded again not far away.
Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan suddenly approached the man.
The man obviously leaned back a little, but did not let go of her.
Shi Qinghuan leaned forward, his tone still soft and gentle, "I killed someone, and you offended Cheng Yangfeng. We are all in the dark and cannot see the light, so why not..."
The corners of Shi Qinghuan's lips curled up slightly, and just as the footsteps approached, she suddenly pulled open the man's collar and bit down on his shoulder.
This bite was done with all her strength, and she could feel the friction between the tips of her teeth and the bones, and the smell of blood instantly filled her mouth.
The man obviously didn't expect her to make such a move. When he realized it, Shi Qinghuan had already let go of him.
The Forbidden Army hurried past in the distance, and the light of the torches illuminated Shi Qinghuan's face for a moment.
The bright red lips were stained with blood, giving them a strange beauty.
"Now, we are accomplices!"
Teeth marks leave marks, she is leaving evidence.
The man's breath became obviously colder, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's not about blackmail, it's just a thank you gift for saving my life! I know you are not an ordinary person, so from now on, if you protect me... you will protect yourself!"
Shi Qinghuan chuckled with a hint of arrogance in his tone, completely different from just now.
This is the real her.
The man's fingers tightened around Shi Qinghuan's neck, "It's not that difficult to destroy corpses and eliminate traces!"
Shi Qinghuan chuckled, "Young Master is joking again. In the majestic city of Kyoto, it is too difficult to completely make someone disappear. Can you really completely erase the details behind me?"
The man did not speak, but Shi Qinghuan lowered his tone and said, "Don't worry, young master, you and I will live and die together. As long as you let go, we will part ways."
Use both soft and hard tactics.
Shi Qinghuan's answer was still silent.
But the man let her go and turned around.
Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that she and the man have reached an understanding.
Shi Qinghuan turned around and left quickly.
What she didn't know was that as soon as she left the dark alley, a dark shadow fell from the courtyard wall and nodded to the man inside.
"Sir, do you need me to go..."
"No need. We followed her from the Hou Mansion to here. Don't we just want to see what kind of person she is?"
"I don't understand why the Lord is so interested in her."
"You don't have to understand, keep up with her!"
"yes!"
The black shadow flashed past, and the man slowly walked out of the dark alley, his silhouette slender.
Why?
Just because of a quick glance at the Hou Mansion, she looked very much like the same person when she killed someone!
Hands on shoulders.
Now, it looks more like it!
The night was getting deeper, and the deserted streets became noisy as the imperial guards raided them. Panic filled the night, and the flames of Kyoto City became even more shocking.
Not only the Orchid Pavilion Garden, but also the Houfu Courtyard.
Come to think of it, it was a man's handiwork.
Shi Qinghuan felt much more at ease, and finally found the location of the General's Mansion based on his memory.
The guards at the gate of the mansion had obviously been warned. As soon as they saw Shi Qinghuan, they immediately led her through the door.
As soon as he arrived in the inner courtyard, Shi Qinghuan heard the sound coming from the front hall.
"What should I do? If Mr. Xu dies, I won't be able to join the Ministry of War!"
After such a big thing happened, what they were worried about was still their official position.
No one was worried about Lin Manyun's life or death.
Shi Qinghuan's expression darkened, and he felt determined in his heart.
Since Lin Manyun's body was used, let's seek justice for her first.
"Madam, the lady is back!"
The guard reported that Shi Qinghuan quickly calmed down, his legs were weak and weak, he was embarrassed and pitiful.
Then he entered the main hall tremblingly.
When the second aunt Qin Shuang saw her, she immediately walked over quickly.
"Man'er, how could you... I heard that you were missing, but I was worried for a while!"
Qin Shuang is a typical smiling tiger. She has always done a good job in showing off her face, but in fact she is hypocritical and cruel. Everything Lin Manyun has suffered is all caused by her.
Shi Qinghuan's eyes swept across Qin Shuang, filled with innocence and fear.
"That grandpa... is dead, I'm afraid."
"Then how did you get out of the Hou Mansion?"
"They went to arrest people, but there was no one left, so I came out."
"Has anyone seen you?"
"No."
Lin Manyun was mentally retarded, Shi Qinghuan pretended to be just right, and Qin Shuang believed him immediately.
But the disgraced son Lin Zheng jumped immediately when he heard this, "Mom, the old Marquis is dead, and the court will definitely investigate thoroughly. If this is found on us..."
"Why are you panicking?"
Qin Shuang was relatively calm, "We have arranged this matter in advance, and no one will find out about us."
After saying that, Qin Shuang winked at Nanny Sun who was standing beside her, "Nanny Sun, Man'er was also scared today. Take her down and check her carefully to make sure nothing is hurt."
"yes."
Shi Qinghuan obediently followed Grandma Sun behind the screen, but her eyes turned cold.
The smile at the corner of his mouth was even more mocking.
To check the injury, to put it bluntly, it is to check whether she is still intact and whether she is still worth using.
In Lin Manyun's memory, this was the case before.
The second wife had the intention of murdering her, and he also gave her a chronic poison, hoping to kill her without anyone noticing.
But Lin Manyun also had a special constitution and survived tenaciously, but his mind was damaged and he was like a child.
As Lin Manyun grew up, her second wife changed her mind when she saw that she was too beautiful.
Such a beauty must be put to good use.
It’s like giving it to Mr. Xu!
After the inspection, Grandma Sun looked happy and couldn't wait to go out to report.
"Ma'am, nothing's wrong."
Qin Shuang was very happy when she heard this, "It's best to send Man'er back to rest first. By the way, don't sell out the girl locked up in the woodshed. Let her go back and continue to take care of Man'er. Remember Yes, please tell her, she is a sincere person for Man'er and will understand."
"yes."
Shi Qinghuan heard the conversation outside clearly, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes.
When Grandma Sun came in again, she returned to her well-behaved appearance, and followed her back to her small courtyard.
Qingfeng Garden.
