Chunyu's gossipy eyes turned back and forth between Gu Ning and Xie Yan, and her eyes looking at Xie Yan became more and more meaningful.

I didn’t expect that Guard Xie would rather die than surrender on the surface, but in reality he was...

Before she could think about it, Gu Ning waved her hand: "You go down first."

Chunyu responded, looked at the two of them again, smiled heartily, and immediately stopped smiling when Gu Ning looked at her angrily.

Just listen to Gu Ning's warning: "But remember, no one can say anything about what happened today."

"Don't worry!" Chunyu teased in a low voice, "I know that Guard Xie is thin-skinned! He will never go out and say nonsense!"

She thought her voice was extremely low, but she didn't expect that Xie Yan had already listened to all the whispers between the two of them.

For a moment, Xie Yan's ears turned redder and redder.

Chunyu thoughtfully closed the door for Gu Ning, and there were only two people left in the room.

The cool summer breeze blows, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.

The two of them were separated by a curtain, and could only see each other's looming figure.

The atmosphere in the room became silent at this moment, except for the sound of the two people's breathing intertwining.

Xie Yan interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere: "Thank you so much, Lord County."

The slim figure outside the curtain remained motionless for a while, and Xie Yan's handsome features gradually became filled with doubts.

At this time, Gu Ning spoke.

"Thank you, guard. I have helped you a lot. Do you only have one sentence to express your gratitude?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan's eyelids twitched and he had a bad intuition.

The next moment, Gu Ning opened the curtain and stared straight at him with her bright peach blossom eyes: "Why don't you thank me in another way, guard?"

Xie Yan's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost. He frowned and was looking at Gu Ning coldly, trying to get clues from her face.

"Don't worry." Gu Ning approached him, her eyes bright astonishingly, "I will never do anything to you."

But after hearing these words, Xie Yan not only did not let down his guard, but became even more suspicious: "What on earth does the county master want from his subordinates?"

"You're hurt." When Gu Ning spoke, he wanted to touch Xie Yan's chest.

Xie Yan, with sharp eyes and quick hands, immediately pinched her wrist and said displeasedly: "If the general knew about the county master's behavior, he would definitely..."

Before she finished speaking, the expression of the woman in front of her suddenly became aggrieved. Her eyes were lowered, her crow-feather eyelashes flickered slightly, and there were a few crystal tears hanging on her face.

"I just don't want you to be in danger." Gu Ning's face turned red and her heart stopped beating. She raised her head and looked at him eagerly, "Look at you, you are so seriously injured. If you help your uncle again, you might be in danger again.

Who can save you again?"

She held Xie Yan's hand with both hands and said sincerely: "Why don't you stay with me for a while, and then continue to work for uncle after you recover from your injury?"

Xie Yan looked at her deeply, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Finally, he withdrew his hand coldly: "It's just a minor injury. I'm not that delicate."

When Gu Ning saw this, he was not disappointed. He just said aggrievedly: "I took such a big risk to save you, why can't I even let you protect me for a few days? Thanks to the guards, aren't you martial arts practitioners the best?

Do you care about kindness? Do I..."

She whispered in Xie Yan's ear, grabbing Xie Yan's sleeves tightly with both hands, as if she wouldn't let go if Xie Yan didn't agree.

But Xie Yan was unmoved, so she could only take this opportunity to gain some luck points.

This body was really weak, and as she spoke, a trace of sleepiness came over her, making her unable to concentrate, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

The night outside the window gradually faded, and the white fish belly appeared in the east.

As a ray of early morning sunlight fell into the room, Xie Yan opened his eyes and looked at the woman sleeping soundly next to him, his eyes dim and unclear.

It seems that starting from that day in the woodshed, this woman seemed to have changed her personality.

If it were in the past, how could she care about her own opinion? She might have mentioned her request to Pei Anlin long ago.

It's just that she seems like this...

With a "bang bang" sound, someone knocked on the window.

Yue Rong poked his head out and looked at him carefully.

Xie Yan frowned, but with very gentle movements, he placed Gu Ning on the bed.

Seeing his master tucking someone in, Yue Rong's eyes widened in surprise, as wide as copper bells, and he looked Xie Yan up and down several times.

Why did it seem like his master had changed into a different person in just one night?

Before he could figure it out, Xie Yan carried him with one hand, climbed over the courtyard wall, and walked directly towards the corner gate.

"Master, you..."

"The general's orders have not been completed yet, so there is not much time for you to chat."

Xie Yan looked indifferent and his attitude was very firm, not allowing Yue Rong to refute.

Yue Rong covered his pinched neck and whispered softly: "My subordinates haven't asked anything yet. You and the county leader..."

A sharp knife stabbed his eyes, and he immediately shut his mouth.

When Gu Ning woke up, there was no figure of Xie Yan beside the bed.

She happily counted the luck points she got last night, smiling so hard that her eyebrows arched, and the corners of her brows and eyes were filled with joy.

"50! A full 50 points of luck!"

Gu Ning hugged the quilt and rolled around on the couch happily.

"Your current luck value is -120." The system said flatteringly, "As long as you keep up your efforts, you will soon be able to bring your luck value to a positive number! By then, you will be completely free of terminal illness!"

"Look, the system provided attentive service today."

The next moment, several light groups appeared in front of Gu Ning's eyes.

Suddenly seeing so many people to take advantage of, Gu Ning was almost overwhelmed by the joy.

Fortunately, the next moment, she suddenly woke up after having battled wits and courage with the system many times, and said warily: "What are you planning?"

The system chuckled: "This is not to provide you with more personnel, lest you hang on a tree by your neck."

Gu Ning held her chin, thought carefully, and then waved her hand: "No, no, no, you must have some conspiracy."

"But..." she protracted and added, "it's better to have more luck."

As she spoke, she shouted loudly: "Chunyu, I want to go out."

Yushanfang has the largest market in Yangzhou. It is crowded with people and the sound of sellers is endless. It is a prosperous place that is completely different from the capital city.

Gu Ning was walking among them, followed by several guards. At a glance, she knew that she was an extraordinary person.

Many vendors consciously saw business opportunities and quickly put out the treasures at the bottom of the box, hoping that this distinguished customer would take a fancy to them.

However, this distinguished guest didn't even give them a spare glance and walked directly towards the innermost alley.

"Those are all beggars. What are you doing there, noble people?"

"Some little beggar must be blind and offend this noble man! Look at her posture, she is clearly looking for someone to settle a score with!"

"They are all poor children. If someone helped them, they wouldn't be able to do these jobs!"

Even Chunyu felt the strange sights coming from all directions.

She walked quickly to Gu Ning and asked in a low voice: "County Master, do you really want to go to that alley? I have ordered people to inquire about it. There are many sneaky beggars in there. If you want to find it,

Jade pendant, I will send someone directly..."

"I have my own plan." Gu Ning shook his head and walked forward firmly.

She naturally heard those sounds, but at this moment, all she could see in her eyes was the group of light that was getting closer and closer.

Those who can be added to the list of people who can be exploited by the system will definitely not be some minions. They must be big names with names in the original book. Otherwise, they would not have such strong luck.

Of course, only those with great luck can successfully remove the jade pendant from their bodies.

Gu Ning thought of this, rubbed his eyebrows, and walked forward quickly.

Ahead is a dirty alley where flies are gathering, and a rat or two can be seen running through from time to time.

The maids who followed Gu Ning all turned pale, but Gu Ning was the only one who walked in as if she didn't smell the strange smell.

Her movements were so straightforward that even Chunyu didn't stop her.

Seeing his county master walking into the dark alley, Chunyu stamped his feet anxiously and glared at the guards beside him: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and protect the county master!"

Gu Ning walked through the alleys, and from time to time, a few children poked their heads out of the simple sheds, curiously looking at this goddess-like figure.

Most of them were poorly dressed, even half-clothed, revealing their thin bodies. Only their heads were the largest.

When Gu Ning saw this, his eyes darkened.

Looking at the motionless ball of light in front of him, Gu Ning was silent for a while and whispered a few words into Chunyu's ear.

Chunyu looked surprised, but under Gu Ning's gaze, she quickly told the matter.

The guards left quickly, leaving only Gu Ning and Chunyu.

As a result, Chunyu's eyes became more alert.

Gu Ning walked forward slowly and stood in front of a little girl.

She stretched out her hand, and a silver coin was placed in her palm.

"Little sister, tell me, where is your brother?"

The little girl, with her messy yellow hair on her head, was biting her finger and staring straight at the ingot of silver.

"As long as you tell me where he went, the money will be yours."

Gu Ning whispered softly and looked at the little girl tenderly.

After thinking for a moment, the little girl pointed to the side and betrayed her brother without hesitation: "It's in that big tank!"

"traitor!"

A man emerged from the vat, climbed up the wall very quickly, and was about to escape.

Chunyu took action at this moment and easily carried him to Gu Ning.

"County Lord, we've caught him."

"Good boy."

Before Chunyu could stop her, Gu Ning's hand had already been placed on the girl's face, and her white fingers formed a sharp contrast with the dirty little face.

Her eyes were very soft, and she was very careful even when she handed the girl the money.

The young man who was struggling so hard saw this and froze on the spot.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Gu Ning held the girl's hand and walked slowly to the boy, "You're so good, why did you steal my jade pendant?"

The young man pursed his lips, lowered his head stubbornly, and remained silent.

The girl has sharp ears and eyes, and immediately said: "My brother's name is Qin Yu!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning's peach blossom eyes shone with a twinkling light.

It's him?
