Holding a pair of cold, soft and boneless hands in his palms, Xiao Ran immediately felt his blood boil, his arms didn't feel trembling, and all his thoughts were thrown away, and he said in a daze, "En... well..."

Coincidentally, at this time, Rui Lin had already been helped by the crowd, and when he glanced at the two holding hands, his eyes went dark, and he felt a sweet smell in his throat, and he fell to the ground again with a thud...

After the Lantern Festival was over, Xiao Ran was surrounded by Zai Yuan's gang, holding Wen Zhengming's hand scroll excitedly, while humming: I am smiling smugly, I am smiling smugly!Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others all asked in a hurry:

"Eunuch Xiao, who is Mi's grandma?"

"Miaobi Shenghua, have you heard of it? Mi's mother is Hua, and his grandma is of course the pen."

"...! And what about grandpa?"

"Haha, my lord is thinking about it, this grandpa, of course he has hugged rice and flowers, isn't it just..."

"Popcorn! Damn!!!"

The next day, Xiao Ran took leave of absence from the emperor, and led Yu Ting and Ning Xin back to Yangliu Lane.Walking this way will inevitably take advantage of the hands and feet, and there are so many people on the street, it is not easy for the two girls to have a fit.When they got to the mansion, the two pink faces were ashamed as red lanterns.

Xueyao has been extremely depressed for the past two days. She is alone, not to mention how deserted she is.After Baolu was busy with the Spring Festival Gala, she kindly came to accompany her, but the two of them couldn't get excited.Just as he was throwing bullets, he heard Ning Xin yell outside the door, "Sister, we are here!" She jumped up happily, and rushed out of the door in a gust of wind, pulling Yu Ting and Ning Xin to the point of crying.

Seeing the three girls embracing each other, Xiao Ran wanted to take the opportunity to go up and give them a hug, but it was a pity that Baolu led the servants, maids and old ladies from all over the house to kill them.The master is back, of course he is here to ask for red envelopes.There is no way, so I have to reward them one by one.Except for Baolu, everyone has a share, the housekeeper is 50 taels, and the servants are all 20 taels.For Shengdou Xiaomin, this was an astronomical figure, and the Xiao mansion burst into cheers for a while.

Brothers such as Wang Meng are naturally indispensable.Xiao Ran knew that apart from drinking, these brothers like to gamble, so each of them sealed a big red envelope of 200 taels, and especially picked out some gadgets from Zaiyuan and the others and distributed them to everyone.The brothers jumped up happily, and ran to the back to gamble.

Only Baolu waited anxiously for a long time, but he didn't get anything, his face was flushed with anxiety, and he didn't let go when he dragged Xiao Ran.Xiao Ran purposely annoyed him and said: "Why do you want red envelopes? You can't marry a wife. Besides, your boy eats and drinks with me all day long, so it would be good if you confiscated your meal money. Hmph, a traitor who turned his elbows away!"

Baolu was naturally serious, and when he was angry with him, he couldn't help trembling all over, and burst into tears with a wow.Yu Ting said angrily: "Well, what do you recruit him for? This New Year's Eve must be a nuisance to others!" Pulled Baolu and said: "Don't pay attention to him, the youngest son has such virtues, and he has developed a wicked one. Mouth. The red envelope he gave you has already been placed here with me, what do you think it is?"

Baolu took it over with tears in his eyes, and it was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't move for a long time.It turned out that the red envelope contained 1 taels of silver notes.Xiao Ran smirked and said: "Little traitor, won't you cry when you see Yinzi? Damn, I know you kiss me more than Yinzi."

It took Baolu a while to come back to his senses, he stuffed the red envelope into Wang Yuting's hand, and refused to take it.Zheng Se said to Xiao Ran: "I would dare to ask for three hundred and five hundred, but I really shouldn't take so much money. You earned all the money, and I didn't do anything..."

Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You think this is really what I gave you? Do you still remember that when the beauty salon opened, you bought 500 taels of silver shares? You made a total of 9 taels this year. The dividend is exactly 1 taels. You should take the money according to the situation and reason, just follow it."

Yuting and the others also persuaded for a long time, and Baolu finally accepted.After thinking for a long time, he said: "Now my family is with the master, and there is nowhere to spend the money. Sister Yuting will keep it for me first."

This day has been noisy from morning to night, a family of four plus Baolu, drinking and gambling, eating and playing, it is very lively.However, Xiao Ran harbored ulterior motives. Looking at the three wives under the light, each of the three wives was more beautiful than the other, naturally he became anxious.Perhaps it was because of drinking some wine that the three girls were no longer as reserved as usual, their pretty faces were flushed, their eyebrows were affectionate, they were charming and glamorous.Xiao Ran couldn't hold back the burning desire in his heart, so he ran to pester Yu Ting: "Good wife, it's so easy to be lively today, let the four of us sleep together?"

Baolu ran away after hearing such disgusting words.Ning Xin and Xue Yao were overwhelmed with embarrassment, but Yu Ting said sternly: "It's not going to happen today. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can't do that kind of work, just wait for fifteen."

"Ah?!" Xiao Ran was dumbfounded.In ancient times, there was a lot of attention, but it was not the same as it is now.Every year, festivals, birthdays, death days, the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day, etc. are not allowed to have intercourse, especially during the Chinese New Year, I have to endure it for half a month.Someone once calculated that the ancients had stricter rules, and only fifty or sixty days a year could lead a married life, which is quite depressing to say the least.

Of course Xiao Ran didn't follow any rules, when Wang Yuting got tired of her body, his hands became disheveled, and he pressed his jacket against her arms to feel for her.Yu Ting quickly resisted, but Xiao Ran freed up a hand to tickle her, which made her go limp, and fell on the couch begging for mercy.Ning Xin and Xueyao hurried over to help, not being wary of Xiao Ran's mischief, grabbed the two of them and pulled them violently, the four of them fell into the tent together, taking the opportunity to stir their legs, several of them huddled into a ball.Xiao Ran's hands were like swimming fish, he just looked at some sensitive places and touched them. In a short while, the three girls he got were all scattered and panting.

Just about to take off his clothes, he heard a commotion outside, and then Baolu knocked on the window angrily, shouting repeatedly: "Little Sanzi, there is no accident!" Another rough voice shouted: "My lord! Come quickly!" Listening carefully, it was Wang Meng's voice.

Xiao Ran was taken aback, quickly let go of his wives, got off the bed, put on his shoes and ran outside.When I arrived at the main hall, I saw seven or eight big men in casual clothes, and two of them were still wounded.It looked like he had dared to go a long way, and he was full of travel and dust, but he had a ferocious expression on his face, with a murderous look on his face.

Xiao Ran was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.But all the men suddenly fell to their knees and said: "See you, my lord!"

Wang Meng said in a low voice: "My lord, the brothers are all sent by Brother Duan!" Only then did Xiao Ran recognize them, so it turned out that these brothers were all brothers from the Firearms Camp.He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Why are you here, brothers? But what happened to Daxing Mountain?"

A man with a purple-black face and a bandage wrapped around his shoulder pointed inside, and said angrily, "My lord, ask him!"

Xiao Ran separated from the crowd, went inside and took a look. It turned out that there was a person kneeling in the hall. He was short and thin, but his face was pale and his expression was very decadent.This person is none other than Cheng Tong of the Dian Military Academy of the Yuan Huoqi Battalion!

"Hey, what's going on here? Brother Cheng, how did you become like this?"

Cheng Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Ran, and said lightly: "What are you asking? I colluded with the foreigners, and I personally killed the brothers. I did everything by myself. Hurry up and give me a knife. Let's clear it up."

"Fart!" The black-faced man yelled, and pulled out a short knife from his arms, his eyes widening, "How many of our brothers have you fucking killed, can you clear them up with one knife? **You Mom, today I will cut you to pieces and avenge those brothers who died!"

The black-faced man held the knife in his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to grab Cheng Tong.Suddenly, a white light flashed beside him, and with a swipe, it almost scraped off the big black man's palm.The big black man hurriedly jumped back, raised his dagger forward, and said angrily, "Ma Chao! How dare you help this traitor!"

Ma Chao slowly put the waist knife across his chest, his face was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and said coldly: "The matter has not been clarified, and the lord has not spoken yet, so no one can touch him. Otherwise, don't Blame Ma Chao for recognizing swords but not people!"

When the seven or eight men heard this, they all pulled out their weapons in a hurry.Seeing that the matter was going to become a big one, Wang Meng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brothers, you have something to say, your lord is here, it won't be too late to act after your lord makes a decision."

Cheng Tong glanced at Ma Chao and said expressionlessly, "Back off. It's none of your business."

"Second brother..."

"Shut up! I'm not your second brother! Get lost!"

Ma Chao twisted his eyebrows upside down, roared, and chopped the ground hard with his backhand.Sparks shot out and chopped a thick green brick in half.

Xiao Ran was very shocked, and said anxiously: "Brothers, what happened? Did any of our brothers die?"

"Bastard, it's not all caused by this bastard!" The black-faced man pointed at Cheng Tong and yelled, and the people who came with him also told the whole story in one go.

It turned out that after Duan Xingnian and Cheng Tong settled the treasures stolen from the Old Summer Palace in the Daxing Mountain Grottoes, they originally planned to dismantle them into pieces as Xiao Ran arranged, but considering the inconvenience of communication, they simply built a cottage on the mountain.It not only solves the residence, but also protects the safety of the treasure, and everyone does not need to rob houses, and no officers and soldiers care about it.Most of the brothers lived in the area of ​​Beijing, and gradually brought their wives and children over, and lived a comfortable life.

A few days ago, a group of people suddenly found the cottage, saying that they heard that there was a treasure here, and they were willing to pay a huge sum of money to buy it.Duan Xingnian and Cheng Tong were very surprised, not knowing where the news leaked from.I wanted to kill this group of people to silence them, but I couldn't figure out the reality of the other party, and I didn't dare to act rashly, but I resolutely refused.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, suddenly a group of foreign devils came to kill them. They were not many in number, but they were very fierce and their weapons were very advanced.In a fierce battle, more than 40 brothers in the cottage were killed.Fortunately, Duan Xingnian was clever enough to copy the enemy's retreat with a sharp knife.There were more than 60 devils and a few traitors who came to sneak attack, none of them escaped.

Back at the cottage, everyone began to trace who leaked the secret, but there was no clue after searching all day.That night, Duan Xingnian was patrolling with his men, and accidentally ran into Cheng Tong committing an attack, killing two brothers in the cottage.Duan Xingnian and others immediately captured Cheng Tong, thinking about it, he must be the spy.After being tortured overnight, this guy also confessed.

The two brothers who were killed were named Liu Xiaopi and Han Qiang, both of whom lived in the cottage.It is said that the murderer has been caught, and it is impossible to tear him to pieces.Duan Xingnian felt that this was a major matter, and it was better to leave it to Xiao Ran to handle it himself, so he found a few safe brothers to escort him to Chengde.

After hearing this, Xiao Ran was both surprised and angry, and questioned Cheng Tong in front of everyone.Cheng Tong didn't deny it, but simply admitted it.This time, even Wang Meng and He Laoliu couldn't hold back, they were about to pull him out and chop him up.Xiao Ran turned around inadvertently, but saw that Ma Chao's face was pale, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he never said it.

Xiao Ran's heart moved, he was afraid that this matter was a bit strange.He immediately ordered Cheng Tong to be temporarily detained in the stable.Everyone pushed him down with punches and kicks. Xiao Ran called Ma Chao, and said, "Cheng Tong is your second brother? You have been hired, right? Why have you never heard of it?"

"Thank you, but... that was a long time ago."

Xiao Ran suddenly turned around, stared at Ma Chao's face and said, "Did you want to say something to me just now?"

"Ah?!" Ma Chao's face changed, and he quickly covered up: "No, no..."

"Okay." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, called Wang Meng, and said, "Order it down, kill the traitor for me tomorrow morning, and pay homage to the dead brother!"

With this incident so disturbed, Xiao Ran didn't have the heart to pester Yuting and the others anymore, his mind was full of treasures from Daxing Mountain.Feeling upset, sitting alone in the study.It wasn't until the fourth watch that I felt a little sleepy.Just as he was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, he opened the door, only to find a figure kneeling in front of the door. It seemed that he had been kneeling for a long time, and there was a layer of snow blown from the eaves on his head and shoulders.Upon closer inspection, it was Ma Chao!

Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled him into the room, closed the door, and Ma Chao knelt down again, refusing to get up without saying anything, but kept crying: "My lord, help me, my second brother has been wronged!"

Xiao Ran hurriedly asked what was going on, but was really surprised by this question.It turned out that Ma Chao and Cheng Tong had indeed worshiped each other. Cheng Tong was the second child and he was the third child. Their eldest was none other than Han Qiang who was killed by Cheng Tong!And this Han Qiang once saved Cheng Tong's life on the battlefield, he was really his savior!

Xiao Ran felt that something was wrong at first, not to mention Cheng Tong's character, but he has always been meticulous in his thoughts, if this matter was really done by him, he would definitely have planned it thoroughly.Even if he couldn't let those foreign devils succeed, it would be absolutely fine for him to escape by himself, so why bother to attack his savior and risk his own life?After thinking about it back and forth, I understood everything in my heart.Immediately came to the stable and asked Wang Meng to unlock the door.Wang Meng was afraid that Cheng Tong would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he followed Xiao Ran closely with a waist knife in his hand.

Cheng Tong was lying on the grass at this time, staring at the stars in the sky through the window, dazed.The cold wind, wrapped in snow and mist, blows in in bursts, and he doesn't feel cold.Xiao Ran said: "Tomorrow is going to be on the road, but is there anything else to say?"

Cheng Tong glanced at Xiao Ran, licked his chapped lips and said with difficulty: "Cheng Tong is not talented, and I have disappointed you, my lord."

"So what about your family?"
