After a long time, Gu Ning finally raised his head and blinked aggrievedly: "I was hurt because of you. Not only are you not grateful to me, but you are so cold."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Xie Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly. He looked at the small scar on Gu Ning's cheek. Despite his excellent tolerance, he couldn't help but ridicule: "I guess if my subordinates are a step too late, the wound on the county master's face will be damaged."

It will be healed.”

Gu Ning blinked his eyes, and crystal tears fell from the corners of his eyes, all the way to the snow-white skin under his clothes.

Xie Yan looked away and stared at the complicated curtains without squinting.

However, Gu Ning stepped forward, wrapped a pair of soft and boneless hands around his wrist, and whispered: "It's not just my face that is hurt, my heart..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yan quickly took out his hand.

"Men and women are not intimate." He said coldly, "If the county master is injured, my subordinates will find Dr. Liu for you and ask him to take your pulse."

Gu Ning counted the pitifully few luck points and thought of another countermeasure.

She leaned on the bed and instantly became weak again: "I just want to say a few more words to you. You don't know that the group of assassins today almost scared me."

Xie Yan lowered his head to look at her, his eyes were extremely deep.

Such eyes and such a handsome face made Gu Ning's mind wander for a moment.

But almost the next moment, Xie Yan's cold voice sounded in her ears: "This is the person sent by the county lord. How could the county lord be frightened by the person he sent?"

"On the contrary, my subordinate..." He leaned over and looked at Gu Ning condescendingly, "I have been with the county master for three months, and I have never noticed that the county master has such scheming intentions!"

Each of these things made the seed of doubt in his heart grow bigger and bigger.

The assassins today were well-trained and seemed to be coming for Gu Ning, but for half an hour, Gu Ning only had a wound on his face.

What's even more strange is that no one was killed or injured at the banquet.

Gu Ning exclaimed and looked at Xie Yan uneasily: "These are grandma's orders, how did you know?"

Xie Yan looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"I'm afraid the county master has forgotten." His tone was calm, but he did not allow Gu Ning to refute, "The eldest princess has never been kind to a woman. You have exposed too many flaws today, and the Yuan family has probably noticed it already."

The woman in front of him looked stunned, as if she was thinking about how to answer.

Suddenly, she curled up her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes flashing: "So what?"

"I just wanted to save you, as long as you're okay."

Xie Yan frowned and was about to speak, but Gu Ning grabbed his neck.

She leaned against Xie Yan, and before Xie Yan could scold him, she gently kissed Xie Yan's lips.

The kiss was long and soft, turning over and over on Xie Yan's lips.

Xie Yan's heart beat violently and he forgot to think for a moment.

He unconsciously wrapped his hands around the slim waist of the person in his arms, wishing he could blend it into his own flesh and blood.

The temperature in the room rose sharply, and Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled. Reason told him to push Gu Ning away, but his hands seemed to be tightly attached to Gu Ning's waist.

There was a loud "bang" outside the door.

Seeing the stunned Chunyu and Yue Rong outside the door, Xie Yan's consciousness instantly returned.

Yue Rong looked at his unparalleled, calm and self-possessed master, who hurriedly stuffed the county master into the quilt and walked out of the room hand in hand.

His eyes followed Xie Yan, and his eyes almost fell off.

"How...how could this happen?"

As soon as Yue Rong finished speaking, Chun Yu pulled him aside.

Seeing Chunyu who was clearly shocked but pretending to be calm, he angrily accused: "Your county boss is treating me..."

"The county master is pleased to thank the guards." Chunyu said with a serious face, "Don't beat the mandarin ducks!"

Hearing this, Yue Rong looked at Chunyu with resentment: "You know that my master's future will be very difficult. The county master is so pampered and pampered, and he is destined to be unable to stay with his master."

Chunyu snorted softly: "Who said you want to walk side by side with your master?"

Yue Rong was shocked and puzzled, but Chunyu said calmly: "Which county head have you seen marrying only one person? Let's take the Huaping County head, she has a yard of handsome men, even the Anle County head, who has the least handsome face,

There are three of them!"

"You..." Yue Rong pointed at Chunyu, his lips trembling, "My master will never be the face of the county lord!"

But after he finished speaking, he felt guilty again.

No matter how you look at the fragrant scene in the room just now...his master doesn't seem to be the one being bullied.

What if...what if the master is willing?

Yue Rong was excited, took two steps out of three, and quickly walked in the direction Xie Yan left.

Seeing him leaving, Chunyu snorted softly.

She opened the door and saw Gu Ning with flushed cheeks, and sharply caught a glimpse of Gu Ning's red and swollen lips.

"County Master." She spoke softly and gently rubbed Gu Ning's shoulders, "In a few days, His Royal Highness Duan Wang will come to Jiangning with the eldest princess. You can't act so boldly."

Gu Ning held her head and rolled her eyes fiercely.

Seeing the orderly increase in luck, Gu Ning felt happy again and waved his hand lazily: "Don't worry, he will leave Jiangning in despair before long."

Chunyu was puzzled: "But I see that His Highness Prince Duan is bound to win over you. If you want him to leave, unless there is something big happening in the capital, you will have to speak out."

"Maybe." Gu Ning winked at her and smiled slyly, "Have you forgotten...that girl Qingqing I asked you to inquire about before?"

As soon as these words came out, Chunyu immediately opened his eyes wide.

She nodded and said quickly: "You are right! I got news a few days ago that Miss Qingqing also came to Jiangning."

Gu Ning raised her lips and smiled: "After the secret affair is resolved, it's time for her to show up."

Chunyu looked at Gu Ning with even more admiration.

In the original study room.

"Mother, I can't figure it out no matter how much I think about it." Yuan Chongshan held the old lady's hand and was puzzled, "Why... why do people still want to assassinate the county lord?"

Mrs. Yuan glanced at him coldly and said in an incomprehensible tone: "You can say whatever you want in front of me, why bother hiding it?"

"My child feels that there is something fishy about this matter." Yuan Chongshan smiled coquettishly, but when he mentioned this matter, his expression changed again, and the murderous intent faintly appeared in his eyes, "These assassins are well-trained, and we in Jiangning are also

There are only a few companies that can produce such killers, but why do those companies want to assassinate the county lord?"

"Let me ask you, who is behind the Changning County Lord?" Mrs. Yuan sat up straight and asked coldly, "You are worried that General Pei will use her hand to investigate the illegal salt matter, and others will be worried, not to mention those few

Even if you have ten heads, it's not enough to cut off what you have done."

"If they successfully assassinate the head of Changning County in the Yuan family, our Yuan family will become the target of public criticism, and they can stay out of it."

Hearing Mrs. Yuan's affirmative words, Yuan Chongshan frowned.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan snorted coldly and shouted: "Qiuyue, bring that thing up to the lord to see."

A beautiful aunt walked into the study, her pretty face turned pale.

Against the gaze of the old lady, she said in a voice like a mosquito or a fly: "I picked this up in the bamboo forest."

Yuan Chongshan stared at this thin sword and said in a trembling voice: "This...this kind of short sword can only be used by the killers raised by the Ling family!"

"Knowing people but not their hearts." Mrs. Yuan sneered, "If you were serious, you could pay attention to the movements of the Ling family in recent days. It's a pity that your eyes are only focused on these aunts!"

After saying that, she placed her crutches heavily on the ground and left the study in stride.

Yuan Chongshan was left looking uneasy, holding the dagger in his hands, his expression changing unpredictably.

"Ling family!"

Several black shadows jumped out from Xiaoxiang Pavilion and blended perfectly into the night.

They were extremely fast, but one of them occasionally fell behind, causing a bunch of dogs to bark.

Yue Rong's Qing Gong was very good, but tonight he seemed a little absent-minded and almost missed a few places.

Today's events were so vivid in his mind that it was difficult for him to erase them from his mind.

Seeing this, Yue Ming pulled him over and said, "My master just looked at you several times! What did you do today to anger my master?"

"I..." Yue Rong was about to speak when the dark figure standing on the eaves stared at him coldly with a pair of phoenix eyes.

Immediately, Yue Rong swallowed the words he spoke.

He shook his head vigorously: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about tonight's mission and I'm a little worried."

Just recalling that scene, his eyes suddenly became wandering again.

Yue Ming looked him up and down, his distrust clearly written on his face: "Seriously?"

"Seriously!" Yue Rong said loudly, "I am the most honest person, how could I lie to my elder brother?"

Yue Ming sneered, but Xie Yan was nearby, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to pinch the flesh of Yue Ming's waist: "It's best like this."

"Time is pressing." Xie Yan said coldly, "If you have anything to say, you might as well wait until we return to the capital."

"Yes!" Yue Rong quickly shook off Yue Ming and stood beside Xie Yan with a big stride.

At this moment, several more figures appeared in the night sky.

They moved very quickly, landed on every eaves accurately and silently, and approached Xie Yan and the others step by step.

"Who is it?" Yue Ming said warily.

Several people stepped forward quickly, and the leader threw a token to Yue Ming.

This token looks very old. Under the moonlight, many scratches are clearly visible on it.

But after seeing the familiar pattern, Yue Ming's eyes changed instantly. His eyes turned red and he clenched the token tremblingly.

"master……"

Yue Ming's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked at Xie Yan cautiously.

Opposite him, Xie Yan's expression remained calm.

But under the black robe, his big, sharp-jointed hands clenched tightly, his eyes fell on the token, and he never moved.

After a long time, his deep voice sounded.

"A member of the Lu family?"

"Old members of the Lu family! See Your Highness!"
