Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 102
late at night.

Xiao Ling'er was tired and fell asleep on the ground, Bizhu was also taken away to see the poison on her body, and Nie Wuhuan looked at the picture on the table thoughtfully.

A man in black was holding a sharp knife in his hand, and there was a pool of wine in front of him.

He thought and thought, but he didn't believe that this was something Duan Qingyu could do.

In Nie Wuhuan's eyes, she, Duan Qingyu, at least still has a pure and dignified character.I still remember that before she entered the palace that year, Nie Wuhuan saw her again after many years. Looking at her in a long snow-white dress, when she was still young, she was more admired than all the rich ladies. Because she had known Nie Wuhuan since childhood.Nie Wuhuan believed that even if it was for her family or her own self-interest, she would not commit murder.

In the past, the pungent Dou Qingqing always caused trouble for him, while Duan Qingyu was silent on the sidelines, doing her own thing, she is noble, she knows the general situation, so Nie Wuhuan doesn't want to believe that Duan Qingyu is behind many things Instigate.

But today...

Before Xiao Ling'er came back, he had already sent people to investigate in the mansion. At this time, before he saw Duan Qingyu, Nie Wuhuan had guessed that everything was done by Duan Qingyu.

As expected, everything here is really as Xiao Linger said.He took the lead in asking people to hide Xiao Ling'er, and created the illusion that Xiao Ling'er was fleeing, trying to provoke Duan Qingyu.Take advantage of her guilty conscience and put on a good show.

His purpose was not to ask Duan Qingyu to admit the matter himself, but just to ask Duan Qingyu to stop.

At least, in terms of years of nominal affection, Nie Wuhuan didn't want to be as heartless as he wanted to be.But he didn't see Duan Qingyu making the slightest concession because of regret, or even getting worse.

As early as the moment before Bizhu sketched these crooked paintings, Nie Wuhuan had already found out that Duan Qingyu had sent someone to send a letter to the Tai Tuo's residence, and then there were men in black leaving the imperial city. It was Ranger Mountain, and the target was Su Jiu.

Nie Wuhuan was holding a steel knife horizontally in his heart. Duan Qingyu was holding it in his hand. The extremely sharp side was facing Su Jiu's neck, while the other side was facing himself. If he wanted to save Su Jiu, he would just To break the silence of the mansion for many years, I believe that after this incident, all the risks and dark torrents have just begun.

Yao thought that before Su Jiu entered the mansion, Nie Wuhuan would receive the woman sent by the emperor within a certain period of time.Nie Wuhuan would ignore them all.Later, these women also disappeared one after another.He once asked Duan Qingyu about the whereabouts of those women, but Duan Qingyu only said that they were sent out of the house, and that they should not waste their youth in vain.

At first, Nie Wuhuan didn't doubt it, but now it seems that those innocent lives have probably become fertilizer for a certain vegetation in the yard.

He looked at his huge palace, from the front hall to the backyard, from the tall buildings to the low grass.There are masters, maids, maids and palace people living in several courtyards.How many people are around him here?

Except for the eyeliner that the emperor put in with the help of this reason, except for the confidant who was placed by the woman who left but still left traces in the mansion, except for the woman who was put in his mansion by the ministers for the purpose of colluding and using each other, by his side... Surrounded by thorns, there is danger everywhere.

Thinking about it this way, Nie Wuhuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in this sultry night, and he couldn't help but grab the horsewhip by his side and dash out of the room.

At night, a fast horse galloped on the dark road, and it was not until the next night that the horseshoe stopped at the foot of Ranger Mountain.Looking at the darkness under the sky, you can see the Ranger Mountain. At the same time, Nie Wuhuan saw the man in black speeding over there.

The swords around the waists of the men in black indicate their identities. They are dead soldiers trained by various officials to guard their homes. Judging from their usual attire, they are undoubtedly dead soldiers.

Nie Wuhuan ordered the hidden guards to disperse the dead, and he rode his horse up the mountain path of Youxia Mountain alone, heading straight for Su Jiu's home.

It was getting dark, and smoke billowed from Su Jiu's house, and the voices of the Su family in the courtyard could be heard from far away, as well as Su Jiu's sharp roar.

"Xiaoshan, come out for me. You are still reading at such a late hour. Be careful with your eyes. Help me wash these fruits and throw them into the wine tank."

After not hearing Su Xiaoshan's reply for a long time, Su Jiu put the figs in his arms on the ground, picked up the pole on the ground and ran in, followed by the screams of two men.

"Ah...sister, it hurts!"

"Ah, Miss Su, it hurts!"

"Who will beat you if you don't hurt me? Throw away the broken chessboard and do some work for me. Zhou Xiang, it's all right for you to eat and be lazy here. You also taught Xiao Shan to play chess badly, and you don't work for me. Look at you Do you know how difficult it is to wash those ragged clothes. Get out of here quickly, if you are disobedient, be careful and I will drive you away. Hurry up!"

"Hey, Miss Su, I'm coming right now, ouch!" Zhou Xiang screamed as he clutched his butt that hurt from being kicked by Su Jiu.

Old man Su leaned against the tree, humming a melodious tune with a contented expression on his face.

The sound of Su's mother cooking came from the back kitchen, and sometimes it came with the wind, carrying the aroma of the food, which made Xiao Shan over there sigh with emotion, "Brother Zhou, today my mother made your favorite food." The dishes to eat, oops, it seems that my own son is about to fall out of favor."

"Hey..." Zhou Xiang scratched his head triumphantly and embarrassedly, stood there holding the fig that Su Jiu handed him, and smirked.

"Pass it to me, don't be dumbfounded." Su Jiu drank in a low voice,
"Ah, here we come, hehe..."

The warm scene was reflected in Nie Wuhuan's eyes. He was sitting on the tall horse, looking at them in the yard, a bitter taste came out of his mouth.

The sound of laughter was like a sharp poisonous thorn, directly piercing Nie Wuhuan's heart.

He hid in the dark, reined in his horse, and waited for the end of the fight on the other side of the mountain, but looked at the laughter and laughter that had nothing to do with him.

I don't know how long he had been hiding in the dark, but he could only hear the sound of snoring coming from the courtyard of the Su family, but he still stared at the beautiful figure in the courtyard.

"Who?" Su Jiu drank in a low voice.

Nie Wuhuan trembled, loosened the horse's reins, and stepped back a few steps.

Su Jiu pushed open the courtyard door and stared at the darkness over there. She always felt that someone was watching her there, but because of the darkness, there were many wild animals on the mountain, and because this place was a frontier fortress, after several incidents, Su Jiu became Get timid.She didn't approach it again, she just stood at the door and looked it over carefully, and when she felt that there was nothing unusual, she turned around and covered the wooden door.But he still looked around suspiciously, occasionally stopping, and would ask the dark place, "Who is it, come out?"

Nie Wuhuan remained silent, looking at her silently, with the help of the dim light in Su Jiu's hands, looked at her recently thinned cheeks, stretched out his fingers, and seemed to touch her face under the dark sky through the darkness , calling her name silently in my heart, "Su Jiu."

Su Jiu seemed to sense that someone was touching her face. He trembled, paused, and called out the name in his heart, "It's you, Nie Wuhuan, come out."

Nie Wuhuan was startled, slapped the horse on the back in a panic, turned around and ran away.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes going away, Su Jiu's heart started beating wildly. She took two quick steps and wanted to stop him, but suddenly stopped in front of the door, and even blew out the sound. With the lamp in his hand, he sighed helplessly, "It's best not to meet each other!"

At the foot of the mountain, the dark guard who had already captured two men in black finally arrived at Nie Wuhuan's horse. Before Nie Wuhuan could step forward to ask questions, the dark guard followed a man in black and said to Nie Wuhuan, "Master, They were caught, there were five people in total, and three died."

Nie Wuhuan looked at the two men in black who were pressed to the ground, they didn't groan because of the pain from the wounds on their bodies.

Nie Wuhuan frowned lightly, and nodded to the dark guard.

The dark guard understood, and dragged the man in black to the depths of the forest.

When Nie Wuhuan's horse stopped on the suspension bridge of Youxia Mountain, he heard the sound of two sharp knives cutting his throat. Then, the body was pushed down the cliff, making a muffled sound of hitting tree roots and vines until the sound disappeared. , and the peace of the past day and night was restored, Nie Wuhuan rode his horse and continued on.

"Master, why don't you wait here? According to the situation, it seems that someone will come. Just now they issued a signal, it was red, it seems to be asking for help."

Nie Wuhuan was stunned, Duan Qingyu's determination to cut grass and roots shocked him, and said to the hidden guard, "Stay behind, I will come whenever I go."

"Yes!"

Nie Wuhuan's horseshoes galloped along the trail at high speed, and the sound of the clang was like a bell hitting his heart, until he arrived at the barracks, the ringing of the bell gradually ended.

Throwing the horsewhip, Nie Wuhuan hurried into the tent, looked at the furnishings inside the tent, as if a familiar figure would poke his head out from behind the screen and smile at him, but it was pitch black, and no one had slept in it for a long time. There was a trace of melancholy on the bed.

The depression in his heart broke out in an instant, and he frowned, and shouted at the lieutenant beside him, "Recently, an unknown man in black killed the people of Youxia Mountain at night, why didn't he report it?"

The lieutenant was stunned, blinking his eyes thinking about this matter, this...how did he start, no matter if it was true or not, even if it was a rumor, he had never heard of it.But the prince who was in the imperial city was very clear about it, and the lieutenant had to doubt the purpose of Nie Wuhuan's late-night visit this time.

"My lord, this... is my subordinate's dereliction of duty, this subordinate will send someone to investigate!"

"Forget it, add more people, no matter when and where, they will patrol around the Ranger Mountain until this matter is over."

"...Yes" the deputy general raised his eyes and secretly looked at Nie Wuhuan, and immediately accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.

"Come on!"

"The subordinate is here." The lieutenant went out, and an elderly soldier came.

Nie Wuhuan still remembered this person. Before he left the barracks, he had heard that this person was old and had reached the age to retire and return home, but why hasn't he left yet?So Fa asked, "Why didn't you go back to your hometown?"

"Ah, back to the lord, it's because the subordinates are reluctant to come here, and there are no relatives at home, so why not be able to contribute to the army here."

Nie Wuhuan nodded helplessly. People in this situation don't love the minority, but there is nothing they can do for the time being.Looking at that man, Nie Wuhuan actually forgot why he was called over, and inadvertently saw the hip flask pinned to his waist, and remembered the first time he saw Su Jiu, the smile rippling from the corner of his mouth quietly moved up.
