Perfect Encounter

Two days after Qian Pei left, An Ruoxi regained her composure and hurried to find An Ruochen. She told An Ruochen about the matter.

An Ruochen pondered for a long time, and asked: "Qian Pei said, he heard rumors that the fourth sister is alive?"

An Ruoxi nodded sharply, and panickedly held An Ruochen's hand on the table. "Sister, think of a way."

"Where did he hear that?"

"I have no idea."

"His source of information is very important."

"Aren't I important?!" An Ruoxi squeezed An Ruochen's hand anxiously, "He said he wanted to kill me, he said he wanted to scratch my face, cut off my ears, and want me..." An Ruoxi Thinking of the scene at that time, I shuddered. "If you have any news, it's all good. You tell me. When he comes to me again, I have something to say and hold him steady."

"I don't have any news. I haven't heard that the fourth sister is alive. On the contrary, it's Qian Pei. Where did he hear about it?"

An Ruoxi shook off An Ruochen's hand, stood up and subconsciously took two steps back: "Could it be that you want me to spy on Master Qian instead? Let me ask him where I got the news? Am I crazy! I'm not bored anymore!"

An Ruochen didn't speak. She really wanted to do this, but she didn't think An Ruoxi could get anything out of Qian Peina. In fact, An Ruoxi showed more fear of Qian Pei today than ever before, and she didn't even think that Qian Pei would do such a thing. This kind of threat is really terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that, like her younger sister, she actually thinks that Qian Pei can really do it.

An Ruochen's silence made An Ruoxi jump: "You are talking. What should I do? If he asks me again, how should I answer him? If I don't have any news from you, he won't let me go .”

"I don't have any news for you." An Ruochen said.

An Ruoxi stared at her.

"I can't protect you." An Ruochen said again.

An Ruoxi calmed down. She stood stiffly, looking at An Ruochen who was sitting in front of her.

"I did find someone to ask about the marriage in another county, but the current situation is not good, and I can't leave Zhonglan City. As I told you earlier, I will go to another county to help you find candidates after the new year. Now I will do it temporarily. No. I have no way to give you any useful information. In fact, if I knew where the fourth sister is, I wouldn't tell you. Besides, I don't know."

An Ruoxi didn't speak.

An Ruochen continued: "I won't and can't tell you any news. I found out today, and I can't get any useful clues from you. Qian Pei is crazy and vicious. If he scares you again, you will Tell him everything. I'm not even sure how much of what you said to me was from your heart, and how much from Qian Pei taught you. "

An Ruoxi stared at her for a while, then suddenly sneered: "So? I should tell Qian Pei that I messed up the matter. I told my sister the truth, but it had the opposite effect. She couldn't believe me anymore , she won't talk to me anymore, no matter what Master Qian you want to do, you can't deal with my elder sister and fourth younger sister if you start with me. Isn't it?" An Ruoxi's eyes were red, "I should just tell him the truth like this , and then depending on his mood, whether to let me go or to hate me for attacking me, right?"

An Ruochen didn't know what to say, she was silent for a long time, and said: "I told the prefect's wife about Qian Pei's evil deeds last time, she found the prefect and Lord Qian..."

"That's why Qian Pei became angry and blamed me for this! You haven't seen what he looks like, like a ghost!" An Ruoxi screamed. "If you want to deal with him, deal with him to death. Find someone to reprimand you, you are safe, how about me?!"

An Ruochen clenched her fists: "I can't deal with him to death. I don't have anything to do with him, and I can't cause trouble for the general..." Her eyes were also red, "I couldn't protect Simei back then, but I can protect Simei now." Not you."

An Ruoxi looked at her sister's appearance, looked at her, as if her strength had been drained suddenly, her legs softened, and she fell back to the chair. She wanted to cry, but the tears couldn't flow. She sat for a while, then stood up abruptly, and left without saying a word.

An Ruochen let out a sharp breath, leaned back on the chair, and covered her eyes. She can't protect anyone! She couldn't believe the second sister either! This may be Qian Pei's trick, to choose this kind of border crisis, when the general is not around, and she has nothing to rely on.

An Ruoxi returned home, locked herself in the room and sat there for a long time. Then she went to Tan Shi and told Tan Shi that when Qian Pei came to visit her home two days ago, she threatened her. She said in detail what Qian Pei said and did.

Tan was shocked and asked her: "The fourth girl is still alive? Is it true?"

Hearing these words, An Ruoxi's heart suddenly turned cold. "Mother, he said he wanted to kill me, and he also..." I really didn't want to repeat it, An Ruoxi shut her mouth.

"Silly boy, that was just to frighten you."

"Even if you scare me, it's so out of line, should he just keep scaring me?"

Tan frowned.

An Ruoxi said again: "I had nightmares at night, I was too scared to sleep."

Mrs. Tan hugged her into her arms: "Then you go to sleep with mother. I will talk to your father about this matter, but you also know your father, he must not dare to say anything to Master Qian. But you four Is it true that my sister is alive?"

An Ruoxi's heart was completely chilled. "I won't bother mother at night. I just told mother about the matter. If I really died, disabled and disappeared, mother remembers what I said, it's Mr. Qian who did it. If father doesn't dare to treat Qian What about the master, he dare not make decisions for his daughter, at least the parents know how the daughter died and who the murderer is. That's all I want to say."

Mrs. Tan snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

But An Ruoxi didn't want to hear it anymore, she got up and saluted Tan Shi, and left.

When An Ruoxi left Tan's courtyard, she didn't know where to go. This was her home, and she didn't want to go home, or see her mother, or anyone. An Ruoxi lowered his head and walked around, and found himself outside the courtyard of Sifang. She turned into the abandoned small yard from the back, stepped into the half-withered grass, and walked to the wall.

Without much effort, she found the dog hole An Ruochen mentioned.

The fourth sister got out of this dog hole, and the eldest sister got out of this dog hole...

Asking for a way to survive, do you have to run away like a dog?

"I can't protect you." An Ruoxi remembered what her elder sister said. She took a deep breath and really wanted to cry, but the tears refused to come out. No one can protect her. No one wants to protect her. She is not bad, she really thinks she is not bad. She didn't kill the old Nan, really didn't. She hates being wronged, she hates being manipulated.

An Ruoxi knelt down in front of the dog's cave, hugged her knees and buried her face, crying silently.

An Ruochen tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep well. Early the next morning, she ran to Zhou Changshi and asked, "I have an important military situation. Is it okay to go to the general barracks to meet the general?"

"Of course it's inappropriate." Zhou Changshi stared blankly. "If there is any military situation that is so important, you can report it to the general in a secret letter. The post soldiers are very reliable and will not make mistakes."

An Ruochen didn't care about the post soldiers, and asked again: "Is such a general violating the law?"

It took a long time for Zhou Changshi to squeeze out a sentence: "There is no law saying that Guanshi An can't go. Besides, it's not that the general violated the law when Guanshi An went. The problem lies with Guanshi An, you are a woman." It's a woman. ,woman! How can a woman enter the barracks, do you understand Guan Shi?

An Ruochen nodded: "Then I'll go." Turning around, she went back to the house and prepared to go.

Zhou Changshi was dumbfounded, he opened his mouth to ask An Ruochen to come back and discuss it, but he didn't know what to say. Think about sending a letter to the general to report this matter, if An Ruochen didn't go, then he should be the one who persuaded him. If An Ruochen went, it also meant that he persuaded her, but he didn't stop her. In short, he submitted the report in time, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhou Changshi's letter arrived one day earlier than An Ruochen's. Long stared at the words on it, frowned, but found that the corners of his mouth were curved, he straightened his face, threw the newspaper aside, and found that the corners of his mouth were rising again, so he rubbed his face.

Long Da stood up and walked around the tent twice, realizing that he was practicing his straight face. Does such a thing as a straight face need to be practiced?

On the second day, when Long Da saw An Ruochen got off the carriage, he regretted that he didn't take practice seriously yesterday. Without saying a word, he turned his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. Before An Ruochen had time to salute, he could only see the back of the general. Hurry up and keep up, and can't help but look around while walking.

Wow, this is the barracks. Sure enough, there are many military masters, much more than Ziyun Building. All of them are full of energy and heroic. Those who ran in line were orderly and full of vigor. The spear is majestic and the sword is full of domineering...

With a "boom", An Ruochen's head hit a hard wall.

Looking up, it was General Long's chest. He was staring at her, his serious expression was as mighty as a spear.

"Staff security."

"Yes, General."

"Are you here to inspect my soldiers?"

An Ruochen rubbed his nose: "General, I have important military information to report."

Long stared at her for a long while, then nodded, turned around and continued to lead the way. This time, An Ruochen didn't dare to look around, and walked quickly behind Long Da, and walked into his tent.

After entering the account, I was curious again. Look here, touch there. "I heard that the general barracks has rooms."

"I will live wherever the soldiers will live." Long Da replied.

An Ruochen heard the voice and realized that Long Da was following behind her. She turned around and almost bumped into Long Da again.

Long Da took a step back.

An Ruochen looked in the room, there was no one else. She steps forward.

Long Da didn't retreat any more.

An Ruochen raised his face to look at Long Da, and lowered his head even further. They were nose to nose.

"Guan An, are you here to disturb the morale of the army?" Long Daji asked seriously.

An Ruochen was very impulsive and wanted to tiptoe up and kiss the general, but he didn't know what his expression would be. But she dare not. She looked into Long Da's eyes, struggled for a moment, and gave up. "I do have important military reports."

An Ruochen took out the note and handed it to Long Da. Long Da took a look and immediately realized: "Who gave it to you?"

An Ruochen told the story again, and also said the direction he was looking for, but there was no progress yet. Then he talked about Qian Pei blackmailing An Ruoxi. "He heard that the fourth sister was still alive, but he didn't know where the news came from? I thought it might be his trick to lure me into the bait, but the handwriting of the note was the same as the one the general had received before. Qian Pei didn't care. Will leave a note for the general, and besides, his handwriting is not like that."

Long Da frowned, and thought seriously: "Can Qian Pei recognize the person who left the letter, or someone related to the person who left the letter?"

"Could he be part of the spy team?"

"If that's the case, it would be too stupid for him to reveal to your sister the news that he knew only Sezuo would know, and let her tell you."

An Ruochen was frustrated: "I asked some people to find out the whereabouts of the fourth sister. I don't know if the news was leaked like this. Or it was leaked by the person who left the letter."

"I've always thought the person who left the note was very suspicious." Long Da looked at the note again, "There is a spy in the city, and your sister is alive. These two things are known to be very possible. This person wants to report , but did not report specific verifiable information. Who is the spy, where is your sister, these are not mentioned. There is a spy in the city, and after saying this, there is no news later. If you don’t give a follow-up, why did you report the letter first?”

"He told me that my sister was alive, and there was nothing to follow."

"So what is the purpose of this person reporting the letter?" Long Da hadn't figured it out.

"General, I want to lure this man out."

Long Da frowned: "How to lure?" He had a vague guess in his heart.

"The matter of the general being close to me has actually leaked out." The groom saw them embrace, and the guards also saw the general pull her into his arms. "Then someone sent me the news of the fourth sister. If there is no further information, maybe they are still waiting for the opportunity, maybe they feel that the fire is not too late, and they are not sure yet. Therefore, they need to use things to push me to you. You cry and make you pity, so that you can get closer."

"They must not know that crying and pity has nothing to do with you."

"Naturally." An Ruochen frowned, showing the charm of Long Da's expression, but unfortunately the eyebrows were not very flexible. "As long as it works, I can do it by crying and pretending to be pitiful."

"Well, that's the truth. You even did something like break into the barracks to meet the general."

"General." An Ruochen frowned again. "Don't make fun of me, General, I'm talking about serious business."

"I also answered seriously."

"When the general is too serious, it always arouses suspicion."

"Really?" Long Da raised his eyebrows, "That must be because you are too suspicious."

An Ruochen resisted the urge to stroke his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back and said, "Anyway, I need to do something to make them sure that I am the general's weakness, so if Prajna and the others have any plan, they want to blackmail Simei I should take action. If there is any movement from them, we will have clues to investigate. And on the other side of my second sister, Qian Pei has always been worried about me. If the news of my close relationship with the general reaches him, I will meet him myself, and I will never see my second sister again, so he shouldn't do anything to my second sister."

Long Day sighed, and said: "Crying to you, causing you to pity, becoming your weakness, and then using it to blackmail you. These methods you imagined would be used on me, it is An Jia and Qian Pei who let your second sister Was it used on you?"

An Ruochen was taken aback.

"Whether you see your second sister or not, if Qian Pei attacks her and threatens you, can you really remain indifferent?"

An Ruochen was at a loss for words.

"It's like using your fourth sister."

An Ruochen was speechless.

Long Dayu stretched out his hand, stretched out halfway, then turned his hand away, and said to her: "Your heart is too soft."

An Ruochen was silent for a while, and asked: "What about the general, is the general's heart hard enough? If someone uses me to blackmail the general and make the general do something that goes against the spirit of the army and betrays the Great Xiao, the general will be in trouble, will he? Submit and obey?"

"Of course not."

An Ruochen nodded: "Then I can rest assured."
