The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Wang Yanqing breathed a long sigh of relief. She wanted to say this just now, but she was afraid that the second brother would misunderstand. Fortunately, my second brother thought so too.

Wang Yanqing was relieved and went to the house to prepare for sleep. Lu Heng sat alone in the hall, looking at the porcelain cup in his hand, and sighed softly after a long time.

The evening breeze outside the window was faint, the moonlight was melting, and the sound was light as if it was an illusion.

After Wang Yanqing took a shower, he loosened his hair and lay down on the bed with his clothes on. Afraid of embarrassment, she turned off the lights in the room before going to bed, leaving only a wall lamp in the corner.

She closed her eyes, and the time seemed to be deformed in the darkness. I don't know how long it took, and there were faint footsteps around her, followed by a familiar aura. Wang Yanqing suddenly woke up from her vague sleepiness. She opened her mouth and called tentatively, "Second brother?"

Hearing this title, Lu Heng felt more and more uncomfortable. He responded, his voice was flat and cold, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Seeing that it was him, Wang Yanqing closed his eyes again with confidence. Lu Heng found that Wang Yanqing was going to sleep, and his heart was very subtle for a while.

He didn't know whether to thank her for trusting his character, or to hate her for being close to her real second brother.

Lu Heng chuī turned off the last light. He was still hesitating whether to come in to sleep or go to the East Room to deal with the night, but after hearing Wang Yanqing's words, he suddenly changed his mind.

She called out her second brother in her sleep, and then she could sleep peacefully. If he let it go, wouldn't he have a brain?

Lu Heng was lying in bed with his clothes. He didn't plan to sleep at all tonight. Another person was lying so close to him that he could sneak attack on him at any time. How could he fall asleep? So logically speaking, the result is the same when he goes to bed and goes to the east room to read a book.

But when he actually lay down and listened to her long and shallow breathing, Lu Heng was surprised to find that he was not as repulsive as he thought. When Lu Heng was twenty-three years old, on an ordinary summer night, he was lying on the uncomfortable bed in an unfamiliar mansion, and suddenly he was shaken by what he believed in in the past.

He has always believed that he can't trust others, can never sleep peacefully next to another person, and marrying a wife is just another occasion for acting. He doesn't want to, so he has always avoided marrying a wife. He should think so, but in fact, he has not tried.

It seems too arbitrary to draw conclusions so early.

Lu Heng was thinking about his life plan when suddenly he heard an abnormal noise from outside the window. Almost at the same time, Lu Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

Chapter 60 Kidnapping

In the darkness, Lu Heng's eyes were so radiant that he couldn't stare, and there was no trace of sleepiness. He sat up immediately, Wang Yanqing had not slept soundly, and when Lu Heng lay down, she was dazed and unresponsive, but when Lu Heng was about to leave, she woke up suddenly.

Wang Yanqing opened her eyes, and before she understood the situation, she reached out to touch the dagger under the pillow, Lu Heng held her hand and snorted softly, "It's me, don't make a sound."

Wang Yanqing's eyes gradually focused, she saw the person in front of her clearly, and nodded slightly. Seeing that she was indeed awake, Lu Heng slowly let go of her hand and walked down the bed.

Both of them were lying in their clothes, and they did not affect their actions at this moment. With the knife in his hand, Lu Heng quietly sneaked to the window and looked out through the crack of the window.

There was no one in the courtyard, Lu Heng pushed open the window without saying a word. Wang Yanqing followed behind Lu Heng and was shocked to see his actions: "Second brother!"

As soon as the voice fell, the window had been pushed open and hit the wooden frame heavily. Wang Yanqing looked up, her pupils dilated uncontrollably.

A waning moon is like a hook, hanging alone in the boundless night. On the roof of the dark county government house opposite, a paper figure with his back to the moon, with an exaggerated red face and black eyes, was grinning at them.

Rao is Wang Yanqing who has experienced a haunted battle, and was taken aback by it at the moment. This paper is as big as a real person. The body is made of white paper, and the clothes and facial features are painted with bright paint. It is lifelike and looks like a real person at first glance.

Wang Yanqing suddenly remembered the paper figurines used to worship the gods on social days, which also looked like this.

The night wind came, and there was a dull water vapor in the air, and it should be about to rain. Wang Yanqing was stunned by the cool wind and calmed down. She quietly approached Lu Heng and asked, "Second brother, who put this paper figure on the roof?"

Lu Heng stared at the roof and shook his head slowly: "It may not have been put there."

Wang Yanqing was puzzled: "What?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the paper figure on the roof moving. Its joints were stiff, as if it had just learned to move, it made several movements slowly and strangely, and its exaggerated smiling face was always facing them. After doing this set of actions, it suddenly turned around and jumped off the beam without warning.

Wang Yanqing took a deep breath and asked with a frown, "What is this?"

The action of the paper figurine alerted the yamen outside, and there was a shout from the road, and then someone shouted: "Catch it."

The summer night was silent, this roar could be described as earth-shattering, the footsteps suddenly became dense, the firelight shook everywhere, and then their courtyard gate was banged: "Commander, there seems to be an assassin in the county government, are you okay? ?"

Lu Heng put the knife back in its sheath, laughed briefly, and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look."

Jin Yiwei knocked on the door for a long time and did not respond. Their hearts tightened and they were about to break in when the courtyard door suddenly opened from the inside. The commander was neatly dressed and stood calmly inside the door, followed by a girl. The attendant was relieved for a long time, and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute. At the same time, he also felt that he was stupid. Where did he get the confidence, that the commander would be tricked by the murderers and needed their help?
