Chapter 4 shudder
When Tang Xiaozuo came out of Feng Linran's room, A Ke was standing timidly in the yard.

"What are you doing here again?" Tang Xiaozuo asked angrily.

Ake scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Miss Fuling, our young master has something to ask you, can you come with me?"

"Can I not go?" She was full of vigilance, thinking about what happened in the afternoon, she still felt lingering fear.

"Don't worry, girl, what happened this afternoon won't happen again." A Ke made a gesture of invitation.

It's not easy to reject it like this, she wanted to go back to her room and tell Feng Linran to prevent any accidents.It happened that the right protector was walking this way with a jar of wine in his arms. Tang Xiaozuo was overjoyed and ran to his side, saying, "Right protector, Master Zuo has something to do with me, invite me to come over." Then he winked and whispered Added, "You know."

Of course Guardian You understood, he patted the wine jar and said loudly: "You go first, I'll wait for you to come back to drink later."

He protected her without any hesitation, which moved her heart for a while.

Tang Xiaozuo followed A Ke to see Zuo Yunshu. It is true that he also drank a lot tonight and was drunk when he left the banquet just now, but he didn't feel drunk at the moment.

Although Zuo Yunzhi's matter made her feel sympathetic, Feng Linran's words just now reminded her that Zuo Yunshu had to be on guard.She stood still three steps away from him. Due to the issue of identity, she still bowed to him in a dignified way: "Young Master, what do you want me for?"

Zuo Yunshu gave her a hand: "Zuo has something to ask the girl for help."

"what's up?"

"Young lady, come with me." He led Tang Xiaozuo into a courtyard, "Young lady also knows that my father has been in poor health. The disappearance of my younger sister Yunzhi has deeply shocked my father, and now he has been ill for five years. Girl and Yun Zhi look very similar, can you pretend to be Yun Zhi to visit my father for a while." While talking, he had already walked to the door of the room, and he could open the door and enter with just raising his hand.He turned around and asked her again earnestly, "This matter will not be very difficult. Miss, would you like to help Zuo with this?"

We've come here, is there any choice?

Fortunately, it's not a difficult thing, it's just to pretend to be a daughter for someone, not a grandson.

Tang Xiaozuo nodded: "Master Shao is very polite, it is my honor to be able to help Master Shao."

"That's it, thank you." He pushed open the door and invited her in.

It's hard to imagine that Zuo Haotian, the owner of Mingyue Villa who was once a powerful figure in the Jianghu, is now tortured by illness like this.His eyes are clouded, his face is haggard, and his bones are as thin as a stick. He looks like a person who stepped into a coffin with one leg.He leaned weakly on Zuo Yunshu's shoulder. If Zuo Yunshu hadn't supported him, he wouldn't even be able to sit still.

The maid fetched water, moistened the handkerchief and handed it to Zuo Yunshu.Zuo Yunshu took it, and skillfully wiped away the saliva from the corner of Zuo Haotian's mouth.

"Father, look, who's here?" Zuo Yunshu pointed at Tang Xiaozuo, and said softly, "Yun Zhi is back, she's not dead, she's back well."

Tang Xiaozuo hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and called "Father" stiffly.

After she yelled, she saw Zuo Haotian's eyes move, following the sound and looking over.

Suddenly there was an expression on his ashen face, although it was extremely subtle, it was obviously different from before.

Zuo Yunshu motioned her to say a few more words.

Tang Xiaozuo took a deep breath, imagined Zuo Haotian as his master, and finally mobilized his emotions, with tears in his eyes: "Father, why are you so sick? My daughter is not filial, so I only came to see you now..."

Perhaps it was because of her touching acting skills that Zuo Haotian became excited.He stretched out his hand to her slowly and with difficulty, making a muffled sound in his throat, as if he was calling the name "Xiaozhi".

Tang Xiaozuo held his hand cooperatively and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Father, I'm here..."

At this time, the servant girl came over with the boiled medicine, and Zuo Yunshu took it: "Let me feed it, you step back first."

But he supported Zuo Haotian with one hand and the medicine bowl with the other, which was very inconvenient.Tang Xiaozuo was worried that the medicine would spill out and burn Zuo Haotian, so he took the initiative to say, "Let me do it."

Zuo Yunshu glanced at her and transferred the medicine to her hand.

Tang Xiaozuo slowly stirred the medicine in the bowl with a spoon to let it cool down.The hot air was wrapped in the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine, and Tang Xiaozuo frowned.

Such a bitter medicine...

Zuo Haotian finished taking the medicine cooperatively, and then rested again.Before he fell asleep, his eyes were always looking at Tang Xiaozuo.Zuo Yunshu saw what he was thinking, and said, "Father, rest first, Yunzhi will come tomorrow."

Zuo Haotian then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zuo Yunshu helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, and then sent Tang Xiaozuo out.

"What's wrong with Master Zuo? How could it be so serious?" Tang Xiaozuo asked him.

"When my father was young, he was stabbed in the chest by a sword in a duel. The doctor said that the sword hurt his heart, and his life was shortened. After Yunzhi's accident, my father couldn't bear it for a while, and his old disease relapsed. The bed has never recovered." He raised his head slightly, Mochizuki sighed, "The doctor came to see me a few days ago, and said that my father is exhausted, and now he can barely survive with medicine..."

"Young Villa Master must be feeling very uncomfortable..." Tang Xiaozuo comforted, "Life and death are not up to you, Young Villa Master should look away..."

Zuo Yunshu smiled: "Thank you Fuling girl tonight, just now Zuo promised father that Yunzhi will come to see him tomorrow, I wonder if Fuling girl would like to help Zuo one more time tomorrow morning?"

"Yes." Tang Xiaozuo nodded and agreed, "It's just a few words to call him father, it's easy to do."

"Then Zuo will send the girl back to rest."

"Don't bother the young master, you have worked hard today, let Ake take me back."

"Alright."

Zuo Yunshu called Ake and sent Tang Xiaozuo back to the guest room.

Tang Xiaozuo was speechless all the way until she saw Guardian You standing outside her room.

"Guardian right, haven't you rested yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you to come back and drink?"

"That's right." Tang Xiaozuo patted his head, "Go, go drink!"

Knowing too much today, she needs to drink some wine to suppress her shock.

Mingyue Villa is a place full of secrets, and Zuo Yunshu is the biggest secret in the villa.If she hadn't smelled the nuxon from the bowl of medicine fed to Zuo Haotian, she would have almost thought Zuo Yunshu a dutiful son.

She has been making jokes in Tang Sect for so many years, so at least she knows a little about poison.And nuxonum can be used both for medicine and for poisoning.

Based on her judgment of Zuo Haotian's condition, it's obvious that Nuxy is not treating him.

She didn't believe that Zuo Yunshu didn't know that there was a small amount of nuxon mixed in that bowl of medicine, he must have known, or maybe it was his order.

This move really makes people shudder.

Strange to say, on the second day Tang Xiaozuo went to visit Zuo Haotian again according to the agreement, and found that the nuxe in the medicine was gone.

Doubts arose again.

The same was true for the next two days, and Zuo Haotian's condition improved a little immediately, at least his spirit seemed to be better than that night, and he was able to speak briefly.He really regarded Tang Xiaozuo as his daughter, and he would see her every day, and chattered about it for a long time.

It is true that most of these words were incomprehensible to Tang Xiaozuo.

Feng Linran teased her: "It seems that the old master Zuo loves you very much. If you stay and be his daughter, you won't have to do rough work as a servant girl in Tianzhu Sect."

"If I'm really his daughter, I will naturally stay." Tang Xiaozuo shrugged, "Unfortunately, I'm not."

"If Miss Fuling really wants to stay, Mingyue Villa will definitely treat her well." Zuo Yunshu came out of nowhere and interjected, "Zuo also hopes that the girl can stay in the villa, so my father's illness may soon be gone. All right."

Seeing him coming, Tang Xiaozuo was startled, and instinctively hid behind Feng Linran.

Zuo Yunshu noticed her movement and seemed to be a little puzzled, but it quickly faded away, and instead cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Linran: "If Zuo is willing to exchange ten girls for the Poria girl next to Brother Feng, Brother Feng, would you like it?"

Tang Xiaozuo was afraid that Feng Linran would agree, regardless of his dignity, he secretly pinched Feng Linran's waist.Feng Linran tensed up, grabbed her murderer's hand, locked her wrist, and pressed it behind her back.

From Zuo Yunshu's point of view, he just thought he was holding his hands behind his back.He raised his eyes and smiled at Zuo Yunshu: "Brother Zuo, you're being polite. It's really not worthwhile to exchange ten girls for such a villain. Besides, I'm used to being served by this girl on weekdays. If I change to ten girls, I'll really enjoy it." Sorry."

"Brother Feng, if you only treat Miss Fuling as a bossy girl, Zuo can choose a girl who is better at serving others and give it to Brother Feng." Zuo Yunshu looked straight at Feng Linran, not as if begging, but as a request. "I also hope that Brother Feng will let Miss Fuling stay in the villa because of my father's illness."

He insisted on asking, if Feng Linran insisted on refusing to give it, wouldn't it be to destroy the friendship between the two?I don't know how Feng Linran wants to balance?

Tang Xiaozuo raised his head and looked at Feng Linran eagerly: "Master, please do not give me anything."

As if aware of her thoughts, Feng Linran suddenly turned his head, smiled at her, and then released the hand that locked her wrist. Before she had time to evacuate, he wrapped her big hand around her hands, and then grabbed her hand, bringing her whole body in front of him.

"Brother Zuo, if I have this kind of relationship with this girl, will Brother Zuo still want to win someone's love?" He shook the hands they held.

Zuo Yunshu was taken aback for a moment, staring at the hands of the two with frowning eyebrows. After a long while, the corner of his mouth curled up into a forced smile: "It's Zuo's hard work."

Tang Xiaozuo never expected that Feng Linran would keep her for such a reason, and she was so shocked that her mind went blank.

"Master, you are so handsome!" On the carriage back to Tianjianmen, Tang Xiaozuo excitedly grabbed his sleeve, his gratitude was beyond words.

Feng Linran withdrew her sleeves in disgust, and despised her: "I'm so handsome. Shouldn't your focus be on how a handsome man like me treats a boiler burner like you?" Is the earth girl confessing to this matter?"

Tang Xiaozuo nodded "Mmmm", and said with a smile on his face, "Although I was shy for a moment when I heard the sect master confessing to me, it was just a reason made up by the sect master, how could I?" really."

"It doesn't matter if you take it seriously, anyway, it's up to you whether you take it seriously or not, and whether you like it or not is up to me." He turned around, facing her, and hooked his fingers at her, "Come here and show me..."

"Look at what?" Tang Xiaozuo asked puzzled.

Feng Linran directly raised his hand to pinch her chin, letting her get close to him.He leaned over and met her brows and eyes, his eyes were bright and full of ambiguity.

Tang Xiaozuo's heart suddenly exploded with gongs, drums and firecrackers, and he was about to jump out of his chest.

"Master, door master, stay away from me, stay away, I can't breathe..."

"Hey!" Feng Linran chuckled, and finally let her go, rubbing his forehead and said, "Facing such a fleshy face like yours, I really can't keep my mouth shut."

It’s right if you don’t keep your mouth shut, but if you do, it’s fine!
Tang Xiaozuo pinched his own face, and still weakly defended himself: "Master, don't look at my face, but I'm actually very thin, really."

Feng Linran smiled even more happily.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the right guardian came over and knocked on the window.

Tang Xiaozuo opened the curtains: "You protect the law, what's wrong?"

"I met a few little bastards from the Tang Sect." The right protector passed Tang Xiaozuo and asked Feng Linran, "Among the people who besieged the Tiankui Sect a few days ago, several of them belonged to the Tang Sect. It's because the enemy's road is narrow. They are all alone, sect master, do you want to go over and chop them up?"

Tangmen?

Tang Xiaozuo poked his head out to take a look, and couldn't help but change his expression: Could it be Tang Yu and the others.

There are so many roads not to go, but I bumped into the team of Tianzhumen, which is also a bit of a back.

Look at the violent temper of the right protector, who is gearing up, his eyes are like a falcon.Looking at Feng Linran again, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, revealing a dangerous aura.

"This seat has always been a person who weighs pennies and pennies. Today they ran into my hands. It is not enough to calm me down if I don't peel them into potato chips..." He paused, looked at Tang Xiaozuo, Tang Xiaozuo His heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Fu Ling, what do you think?"

"I..." Tang Xiaozuo felt grief and resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to let him see the difference. He wanted to cry, "I will never eat potato chips again..."

With Feng Linran's permission, Protector You immediately organized people to fight Tang Yu and the others.

Tang Xiaozuo was very anxious in her heart: they are both brothers of the Tang clan, how could she bear to see Tang Yu and the others get hurt?

But if he directly asked Feng Linran to let Tang Yu and the others go, not only would the success rate be low, but it would also easily arouse his suspicion.She needed to find a reason that would convince Feng Linran and save Tang Yu from danger.

When the first scream came from outside, Tang Xiaozuo grabbed Feng Linran's arm: "Sect master, can we stop worrying about them and go back to Tianzhu Sect immediately?"

"Oh?" Feng Linran turned his eyes, "Why?"

"Because, because..." Hey, how do you tell this lie?Tang Xiaozuo bit his lip, wanting to say something, "Because I..."

She grasped his arm tighter, her face became hotter and redder, and her voice was vague: "I... menstruation... my stomach hurts..."

Feng Linran didn't understand: "Say it again?"

"I..." Tang Xiaozuo raised his voice a bit, covered his stomach, gritted his teeth and forced out a complete sentence, "I'm having my period, my stomach hurts..."

Feng Linran: "..."

In order to be realistic, she secretly pinched the flesh on her lower abdomen, and immediately burst into tears from the pain.

After a long while, Feng Linran opened the curtain, and shouted to the right protector who had just fought with the Tang Sect outside: "Mu Lie stop, go back to Tianzhu Sect immediately!"

The right guardian slashed away from the position, and said in surprise: "Master, what are you talking about?"

Feng Linran's carriage passed by him, and Tang Xiaozuo saw the messy face of the protector on the right.

After a while, Protector You led people to catch up, and Tang Yu and the others scolded from a long distance away: "What do you mean? Don't bring such a scare!"

For three consecutive days after that, Feng Linran didn't let Tang Xiaozuo work, and Tang Xiaozuo felt a little sorry.Seeing that Feng Linran's appetite wasn't great that day, he offered to go down the mountain to buy him some fresh and refreshing vegetables. Feng Linran agreed with a "hmm".

She met a beggar at the foot of the mountain and stopped her to ask her for money.

Tang Xiaozuo poured out two copper coins from his purse to him, but not only did he not walk away, but he continued to shake the broken bowl in front of her.

Tang Xiaozuo glanced at the small half bowl of copper coins, and glared at him: "Don't flaunt your wealth in public!" Besides, with this amount, there's nothing to show off.

He froze for a moment, pawing at the messy hair covering his eyes, revealing a pair of Tang Xiaozuo's very familiar eyes: "Xiaozuo, it's me!"

Tang Xiaozuo took a step back in disbelief: "Brother?"

"follow me!"

In a secluded place, he took off his shabby clothes, tied up his hair, wiped his face, and finally returned to his original appearance, except that his body smelled a little bit.

"Why are you here?" Tang Xiaozuo asked him, grabbing a handful of copper coins from his bowl, saving them to buy snacks for himself.

Eldest brother glared at her, pocketed the money distressedly, and then said to her: "I have two things to ask for you, one is that kid Tang Yu found out you were in Tianzhumen, and he has been crying in Tangmen for the past two days. I'm begging Master, you must say that you are willing to fall and go astray, and ask Master to bring someone to save you..."

The corner of Tang Xiaozuo's mouth twitched: Although the third brother is kind, but the words are too...

What does it mean to be willing to degenerate and go astray?She didn't go to the brothel anymore!

"What did Master say?"

"Master didn't say anything, and kicked him out of the door when he got annoyed."

It is true that the third senior brother is very extreme, he is the only one in Tangmen who dares to make jokes with the master.

"But it's not the way to go on like this?"

The senior brother crossed his arms, raised his chin, and said proudly, "So in the end, it's your senior senior brother who I'm going to solve this matter."

"Oh?" Tang Xiaozuo was curious, "How did you solve it?"

The elder brother leaned down and explained mysteriously: "Didn't you pretend to be that girl named Fuling? She looks exactly like you. If you can pretend to be her, why can't she pretend to be you?"

"what do you mean?"

"I discussed it with Master and gave her some Soul Eater powder to temporarily make her forget her memory, and then told her that her name is Tang Xiaozuo, a disciple of the Tang Sect, and she accidentally fell off the cliff a few days ago She lost her memory only in her head, she firmly believes it."

"Fall off a cliff? You really know how to find a reason." Tang Xiaozuo frowned, "When I fell off a cliff, not only could I not remember the past, but my face was scratched. Now you use this reason to lie She, is she going to shave her face too?"

"Of course you don't need it." Eldest brother, "Your face is not ruined for this reason."

"What?" What did she just hear?Why is her face not ruined for this reason?
"Ahem..." As if realizing that he was about to say the wrong thing for a moment, the elder brother hurriedly said something else, "I mean, after all, the girl is innocent, how can I ruin her face just because of this?" , Just fool around, why bother to be serious.”

Tang Xiaozuo curled his lips: "You won't tell me that she is in Tangmen now, using my identity to get along with everyone, and no one has discovered that she is a fake?"

The elder brother patted her on the shoulder: "After all, your presence in Tangmen is extremely low, even if there is something strange, everyone will not notice."

"That's not very pleasant to hear."

Tang Xiaozuo gave him a blank look, turned to leave, but was held back by him.

"Don't go, there's one more thing I didn't say?"

"Fuck away!"

"You and Feng Linran went to Mingyue Villa a few days ago, right? Master asked me to come over and ask you, did you find anything in Mingyue Villa?"

"Speaking of this, I really found something." Tang Xiaozuo looked serious, and went through the things that happened in Mingyue Villa in those few days in his mind, and told him those things that impressed her deeply.

"The old owner of Mingyue Villa, Zuo Haotian, is not in good health. I suspect that someone deliberately poisoned him to prevent him from moving freely. The young owner Zuo Yunshu seems to be a very ambitious and well-established person. His father The poison might have been given by him. He is also looking for the whereabouts of senior Lu Qiuke. Everyone is suspecting that the tragedy on Kongling Island five years ago was done by the Tianzhu Sect, but Zuo Yunshu doesn't believe it, and he and Feng Lin Ran's relationship also looks very good..."

"Zuo Haotian was actually poisoned." Eldest brother clicked his tongue regretfully, "I think he once ruled the rivers and lakes back then, and was equal to the current martial arts leader Jiang Tingzun, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, he would end up in such a state. "

Tang Xiaozuo nodded in agreement: "Zuo Haotian has a daughter named Zuo Yunzhi, who was sent to Kongling Island for treatment five years ago. Some gangsters followed her to Kongling Island and broke Lu Qiuke's formation. Only then did the massacre of the island happen that year. But now Zuo Yunzhi, like Lu Qiuke, has disappeared. This is what Zuo Yunshu said, and I don’t think this kind of thing should be fake.”

"He..." The elder brother was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed, "Oh, the people from the Tianzhu Sect are here."

Tang Xiaozuo turned his head and saw that it was Guardian Zuo and two disciples of Tianzhu Sect.

In the past few days, the right protector was ordered by Feng Linran to go out to investigate Zuo Yunzhi's affairs, leaving only the left protector to stay by Feng Linran's side.But it's strange, he didn't stay with Feng Linran well, why did he come down the mountain?
"Eldest brother, let's go first. If there is anything, I will ask Ah Jiu to bring it to you..." She turned her head and said to the elder brother.

The elder brother rubbed her head: "You protect yourself well, I'm leaving." After saying that, he ran wildly.

Tang Xiaozuo also hurried back to the street, pretending to buy vegetables.After a while, she heard her name called in a cold voice, and she turned around in surprise: "Guardian Zuo, why did you go down the mountain too?"

"There are things to deal with." He said blankly.

"Then go and do your work. I'll go back after I finish shopping." Tang Xiaozuo said guiltily.

"It's already been dealt with." Guardian Zuo didn't leave, and stood on the spot and told her coldly, "People from other sects often go in and out of the mountain in the past few days, so it's not safe. Go back with me after you finish shopping."

With Protector Zuo standing here, Tang Xiaozuo didn't dare to dawdle, and even saved the process of bargaining, and the basket was full in a short while.She followed behind Guardian Zuo to the direction of Tianchao Gate with concern, all the way silent.

Originally thought that he was just saying that there were people from other sects at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't expect that they actually met them, and there were quite a few of them, counting them, there were sixteen or seven people.

The last time those sects had a hard time at Tianzhaomen, they thought they would restrain themselves these days, but they didn't expect that they would not give up and make a comeback.

It's just that today's group of people seems to be more prepared compared to the unevenness of the various sects that day.Most of them are solidly built and have ruthless eyes, they are not good stubble.

Zuo Hufa stuffed a dagger into Tang Xiaozuo's hand, then pushed her back, and he took the lead to fight those people.

Tang Xiaozuo recognized this dagger, it was something Feng Linran often played with in his hand, it should not be an ordinary dagger.She pulled it out and pressed a button on the handle of the dagger, and the blade swished out half a meter.

good baby!
Tang Xiaozuo got a new sharp weapon, and for a moment he had the courage to fight the attackers.The dagger lived up to her expectations, cutting iron like mud.

Zuo Hufa only brought two people with him, and there were only four of them on the left and right. Compared with the dozen or so people on the other side, they really did not have an advantage in number.But Zuo Hufa's martial arts is extremely high, although the person who fought with Zuo Hufa is also a master, but compared with Zuo Hufa, he is still a bit inferior.When Zuo Hufa sparred with him, he would occasionally free up his hands to help Tang Xiaozuo.

Although Tang Xiaozuo's martial arts were mediocre, as a member of the Tang Sect, it was a habit for him to wear drugs and itch powder when he went out, and today was no exception.She doesn't like to kill, but she doesn't like to be killed even more. She really can't beat him, so she sprinkles medicine on the man, and after a while, three of them are poured out.

Just when he was triumphant, the opponent suddenly changed his strategy.The person who fought with Zuo Hufa tried his best to entangle Zuo Hufa tightly, preventing him from having time to protect Tang Xiaozuo.Three or four more people entangled the other two disciples of Tianzhu Sect, and the remaining seven or eight people all attacked her.

Naturally, she couldn't deal with these people, and she didn't have time to take out the drug in her bosom, because there were swords coming from all directions.Guardian Zuo abruptly rushed in to deal with the two for her, never thinking that the man would get the chance and stab him in the back with a sword.

Zuo Hufa managed to avoid it, but still got a big gash on his back.He trembled violently, probably in extreme pain, and turned around to fight back, but the people besieging Tang Xiaozuo behind him changed direction and also stabbed the left guard.

Tang Xiaozuo hurriedly raised his sword to split, and Zuo Hufa avoided another blow.

It's just that she couldn't dodge it. The four long swords stabbed at her from four directions, front, back, left, and right. The pain on her back, waist, chest and abdomen was intense and sharp...

Tang Xiaozuo was in so much pain that his eyes went black for a while, with a swing of the dagger, all the swords in front of him were cut off and fell to the ground with a clatter.Taking advantage of the stunned moment of those people, she took out all the powder in her arms and sprinkled it out, no matter who the target was.

The white powder is profuse, and it is dyed in color under the sunlight, adding a bit of brilliance.After a while, everyone lost their strength and collapsed on the ground.

She prepared a few antidotes, and before Zuo Hufa and the others passed out, they each fed one, and then helped Zuo Hufa up with difficulty: "Let's go back quickly."

Zuo Hufa grabbed her wrist with his backhand: "Are you okay? I saw clearly just now..."

"I'm wearing gold silk soft armor." Tang Xiaozuo pulled a smile on his embarrassed face, "I'm fine, it's just that my bones hurt from being poked..."
