Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The moonlight flowed on the ground like water, reflecting the man's face.

This was a face that Gu Ning had never seen before. His figure looked like a ghost in the night, as if he had floated into the bedroom.

Soon, the door was closed and the room fell into darkness again.

Gu Ning squeezed the hem of Xie Yan's clothes tightly, and the two were close to each other. They had never been so close, so close that she could hear Xie Yan's heartbeat.

She didn't dare to make a sound. This person dared to go to another courtyard under layers of guards, and then went straight to the courtyard of Xie Yan. There must be something fishy in it.

There was no sound from the man's feet. He walked step by step to the bed and stared at the sleeping Xie Yan.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed across the dark room.

Xie Yan opened his eyes suddenly and blocked the blow with his long sword.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, and the sharp sword light forced the man to step back.

At the same time, the soldiers who were following him also rushed outside the hospital.

It was like daylight outside the courtyard, leaving the people inside with nowhere to hide.

"As expected of General Pei, he is indeed a man of great skill!"

Seeing that they were in a weak position, the men sneered a few times, jumped to avoid Xie Yan's attack, and jumped out of the window to escape.

Xie Yan held a long sword in his hand, and the cold light was just like the look in his eyes at this moment.

The movement inside the house can be heard very clearly by the people outside the door.

Some people had already chased the black shadow and left. Only two brothers, Yue Ming and Yuerong, were guarding the door.

"Master, are you okay?"

"nothing."

Xie Yan's voice was as cold as ever.

However, after hearing these words, the two brothers noticed something strange.

They looked at each other and pushed the door open in unison.

The torches outside the courtyard illuminated this small wing, and everything inside was visible, including the ball on the bed.

There are other people in the room! Could it be that the assassin hasn't left yet?

Yue Rong's expression changed drastically and he said sternly: "Master, be careful!"

"Do not impulse……"

Before Yue Ming finished speaking, he saw Yue Rong walking straight towards the man on the bed.

Just when Yue Rong's sword was about to reach the man, he was hit hard on the wrist.

Xie Yan looked unhappy and stood in front of the man.

Yue Rong stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, pointed at the bed and said: "Master, what are you..."

"Master, I will take him away immediately." Yue Ming quickly covered his mouth.

He was dragged out by Yue Ming. Whenever he wanted to speak, he would always be stared back with Yue Ming's vicious eyes.

It wasn't until he left the yard that Yue Ming let go of his hand.

"Brother, why don't you let me talk? That man has been hiding in the house. If he is not good for the master..."

"You can discover something, but the master can't discover it?" Yue Ming gave him two violent shocks in his head angrily.

In the flash of lightning, Yue Rong took a breath of cold air: "Then... the person on the bed must be the county chief, right?"

Hearing this, Yue Ming's expression froze: "What did you say?"

"Brother, are you stupid?" Yue Rong changed his confusion and analyzed, "Except for the county master, who else has the master been so patient with? Besides, even we who have been with the master for many years can't

I got close to the master for a moment, but the county master..."

Yue Ming didn't like hearing this, and his expression changed for a while, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yue Rong's words made sense.

Having been with Xie Yan for many years, he has never seen Xie Yan care as much about anyone as Gu Ning.

"Since Master didn't mention it, let's just pretend we don't know about it." Yue Ming warned, "You must remember not to mention this matter in front of others!"

"Although the county lord is unruly and domineering, if the master can marry her, he will definitely be able to tie the Pei family tightly to him in the future." Yue Rong murmured in a low voice.

This was a thought he had had for a long time, but Gu Ning's temperament was so changeable that he never dared to mention it.

Hearing this, Yue Ming glared at him fiercely: "Who do you think your master is? Is he a servant of Israel?"

"I don't dare." Yue Rong scratched his head and didn't dare to refute, "I just said it casually."

"Master didn't say anything. If you act without authorization and cause misunderstanding..."

"Brother, don't worry!" Yue Rong said with a serious face, "My guess may not be accurate. What if that's not the county owner?"

"As long as you understand."

Inside the house, several candles were lit.

Gu Ning put her hands on her knees obediently, very quietly.

"When is the County Lord planning to leave?"

Xie Yan stood at the door holding his sword. From the expression on his face to the tone of his words, everything was cold.

But Gu Ning was able to ignore his indifference, and still sat obediently on the bed, whispering: "An assassin appeared just now. There is no guarantee that he is lurking in the dark. If I leave at this time, what if he...

…”

She made a gesture of wiping her neck, and her delicate and beautiful face showed just the right amount of fear.

Xie Yan sneered in his heart, Gu Ning was the best at pretending.

Since she dares to touch her own courtyard alone, how can she be a coward?

The pitiful look she has now is just for herself.

But those sharp words could not be uttered under the gaze of these water-clear eyes.

Xie Yan looked away and said coldly: "My subordinates can escort the county lord away."

"No." Gu Ning shook her head quickly, "Now that the guards have stepped up their vigilance, if you and I appear together late at night, it will definitely cause misunderstanding."

Xie Yan pursed her thin lips and looked straight at Gu Ning with a cold gaze.

"Since the county master is afraid of being misunderstood, why does he come to his subordinate's residence alone?"

Gu Ning yawned loudly, tears already appearing in his eyes.

She was lying on the bed, her thick black hair like silk, scattered everywhere, as lazy as its owner.

"It's getting late, I need to rest."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, leaving only her graceful back to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan's eyes were lowered, and the dim light perfectly concealed the darkness in his eyes. Only he could clearly feel how violent his heartbeat was at this moment.

At this moment, all speculations about Gu Ning's purpose of coming tonight were suppressed by the desire that suddenly rose in his heart.

Even without looking at her, he could still describe the woman's graceful figure.

In the quiet and dark bedroom, Xie Yan sat on the chair, holding the armrest tightly, and the veins on the back of the knuckled hands appeared ferociously.

He closed his eyes tightly and thought silently in his heart.

"The great road is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth..."

Summer mornings always come faster, and Gu Ning struggled to open his eyes under the urging of the system.

The simple gauze curtain above her head made Gu Ning realize that she was in Xie Yan's bedroom.

She quickly closed her eyes, opened a crack and looked at the back.

Xie Yan was still there, but he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Gu Ning tiptoed to Xie Yan's side. Looking at this fair and handsome face, she scolded the assassin who came yesterday over and over again.

If it hadn't been for that assassin, she might have succeeded!

Thinking of this, Gu Ning gritted his teeth bitterly.

Forget it, if you can rub it in a little bit, that's all.

She leaned down and pressed a kiss on Xie Yan's thin lips like a dragonfly touching water, and then left cautiously.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Xie Yan opened his eyes, which were clear and clear.

He touched the corners of his lips, and the warm touch seemed to still linger there.

…

The number of refugees in Jiangning City has visibly decreased.

This was a good phenomenon, but the news that followed was like a huge mountain, weighing on everyone's hearts.

"The flood is coming! It has arrived in Yangzhou!"

"There have been floods in previous years, but with the dams in place, I don't think there will be much damage."

Hearing this, a man in green swung his folding fan, shook his head and said, "No, no, no!"

His words attracted the attention of many people who were leisurely drinking tea.

Under the gaze of many eyes, the man in green waved his folding fan and said quietly: "Do you know why the flood pours down?"

"Who doesn't know this? The heavy rain for a month has brought Mingzhou and Runzhou upstream..."

"That's a big mistake." The man in green sneered, "We have been living in Jiangnan for generations. Hasn't there been heavy rain for a month before? Why did there happen to be a flood this time?"

"This is exactly..."

The hearts of the others were in suspense and they stared at him nervously.

He showed a melancholy expression and said word by word: "These floods are all due to the fact that the dams in Mingzhou and Runzhou were cut corners. The dams that were supposed to be connected with iron ingots were made of wood."

, how can this dike withstand heavy rains in January?”

"I believe you all still remember the massive project five years ago, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed.

Some people who usually paid a lot of attention to these things changed their expressions at this moment.

"This...seems to make sense!"

"Isn't it Jiang Zhizhou who was in charge of building the dam back then?"

While everyone was talking, the man in green who originally spoke had already left the crowd with a folding fan and a smile on his face.

These remarks spread rapidly from this teahouse.

After Chu Yunyi got the news, he could no longer control the development of the situation.

He was stopped by Qianhua on the road, with an angry look on his face: "What? When will it be your turn to take care of me?"

"Your Highness!" Qianhua whispered, "I'm afraid these days..."

"What are you afraid of?" Chu Yunyi asked displeasedly, "If I don't personally send these things that I have collected with great difficulty to Ning'er, then..."

"But now the people outside the door are surrounded by water. As soon as you go out, Your Highness, I am afraid that some unscrupulous people will come to you to argue." Qianhua said with difficulty, "The whole Jiangning City has spread that this flood is caused by Jiang Zhizhou

It was because he cut corners when building the dam, and he is your uncle, so some unreasonable and unreasonable people hated you for it."

Hearing these words, Chu Yunyi laughed angrily.

Veins appeared on his forehead, which showed his mood at this moment.

Qianhua was frightened but did not dare to give way.

"Your Highness, you should stay in the mansion to avoid the limelight." He whispered, "If you go out now, it will only make things get out of control further."

Chu Yunyi's chest kept rising and falling. He took a few deep breaths before suppressing his murderous intention.

"Immediately send someone to find the person who promoted these rumors! I will make him pay the price!"
