On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

Five years ago, on the same spring day.

As soon as the driver of the Marquis of Changxing came back from the side door, he saw his little "monkey" master wearing a beautiful red dress, with a black veil covering his face, sneaking out through the crack of the door.

The coachman was surprised and wanted to stop him when a black shadow lightly landed in front of him and shook his head.

On the other side, Shen Lingyuan, who had successfully escaped, went out like a runaway wild horse, and ran westward for nearly ten miles without looking back. Then he took off his veil panting, wiped the sweat from his head, and sat on his hips proudly. laugh.

"I still want to lock up my uncle, how is it possible!"

After saying that, she turned around and bumped into the man's strong chest.

Shen Lingyuan: "..."

chest:"……"

The hardness, and the red lining on the black background, no matter how familiar they looked, Shen Lingyuan turned around stiffly.

Ready to move, run!

Sure enough, within five steps, he was carried back to his tough chest like a little chick.

The escape plan is about to fail.

Shen Lingyuan wept with this face: "Brother Xiao. Anyway, my father won't be back until tonight, so can't you pretend you didn't see me?"

There was a rare disharmony on Lu Xiao's rigid face, but his tone was emotionless, "I can't."

"But whatever you want to do, do it."

Shen Lingyuan's feet returned to the ground, with a downcast look, he was stunned for two seconds when he heard the second half of the sentence, raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Really? You won't catch me back?"

Lu Xiao cherished his words like gold and just nodded slightly.

Shen Lingyuan: "Great!"

Lu Xiao: "But I have to follow you."

The smile suddenly froze on his face, Shen Lingyuan stared at the man's paralyzed face for a long while, and helplessly squeezed out nine words from between his teeth: "Can't you finish speaking in one go?"

"That's all!" Shen Lingyuan curled his lips and sighed resignedly, "Let's just be together. Anyway, you have been following me since you were a child. If there is no black shadow around you, you will feel uncomfortable."

While muttering, Shen Lingyuan turned around and led Lu Xiao towards the market.

The two walked side by side for a while, passing through the ordinary alleys, Shen Lingyuan suddenly noticed something was wrong, he stopped and turned his head sideways, looking at Lu Xiao with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xiao? You... No, you plan to follow me like this?"

Lu Xiao lowered his head to see that there was nothing wrong with his attire, then nodded.

Is the sun coming out from the west today?

Shen Lingyuan looked in disbelief, looked at Lu Xiao, covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the distant sun, "Are you sure you want to follow me to the market?"

"Yes." Lu Xiao answered this time.

Shen Lingyuan looked at the firmness written between Lu Xiao's delicate eyebrows and eyes, raised his hands and shrugged, and said, "It's a strange thing." Then he walked and turned around, as if he still didn't quite believe that Lu Xiao would really do this.

This can't be blamed on the young man's suspicion.

Lu Xiao was originally Shen Chi, the father of Shen Lingyuan, the personal bodyguard of Chang Xinghou of Donglin Kingdom. According to Mama Liu, an insider in the Changxing Houfu, he had followed Lord Hou on the battlefield for nearly ten years.

But for some reason, after Dong Lin's army returned victorious, Lu Xiao did not accept any court rewards, but stayed in the Changxing Marquis Mansion incognito.

Mother Liu also said that the first meeting between Lu Xiao and Shen Lingyuan was very interesting. At that time, Shen Lingyuan was still a nursing child and was taking a nap in his mother's arms. Now Lu Xiao followed Changxing Waited into the house.

Because the little Shen Lingyuan was fat and white, and he looked very attractive, the two big men who fought in the battlefield stared at this soft lump, unable to do anything.

Finally, under Liu's mother's patient guidance, Lu Xiao reluctantly picked up Shen Lingyuan.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, little Shen Lingyuan woke up.

I don't know if it's because Lu Xiao's appearance is too delicate, but when little Shen Lingyuan saw Lu Xiao, he blinked his round eyes and called out childishly: "Brother."

This was the first sentence Shen Lingyuan said since he was born.

After calling him once, it was out of control. Even though Shen Lingyuan grew up and knew that Lu Xiao and his father were of the same generation, he still didn't want to be called uncle.Even though Marquis Changxing threatened him with a long whip for this matter, Shen Lingyuan never changed his mind.

From then on, Shen Lingyuan was called Changxing Hou's father, and his brother, Brother Xiao.

Shen Lingyuan has been called Xiaoge for 14 years since he ran around with bare buttocks all over the yard, and now he is almost as tall as Lu Xiao.

Doing the math, he spent more time with Lu Xiao than with his father Chang Xinghou.

Shen Lingyuan's way of getting along with Lu Xiao is also different from ordinary "brothers", it is very special.

Most of the time, Shen Lingyuan was in trouble or on the way to trouble, while Lu Xiao was in a tree, at a corner, somewhere in a shadowy corner, showing up from time to time to wipe Shen Lingyuan's butt.

As for things like the two walking side by side today, Shen Lingyuan dared to guarantee his life, it never happened.

Shen Lingyuan was amazed for a while, and he got used to it now, and was even a little proud. A guard with strong martial arts and good looks walked out like this, attracting the attention of passers-by.

What a face!

Shen Lingyuan originally only planned to go to the Jinyi Pavilion and then hurried back to the mansion, but now he changed his mind immediately.

Naturally, wherever there are more people go.

Soon, the two arrived at the market, the streets were crowded with people, and the shouts of the street vendors outnumbered each other.

Shen Lingyuan took Lu Xiao around. First, he saw a street performer and pulled a sugar figurine. Then he was attracted by a stall selling candied fruit.

Without saying a word, Shen Lingyuan pulled Lu Xiao and rushed over.

The stall was small, but there were quite a lot of people queuing up. Shen Lingyuan looked at the ruddy and plump preserved fruits in front of the stall and asked Lu Xiao, "Brother Xiao, do you think brother-in-law is still drinking medicine?"

Lu Xiao was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of disharmony appeared on his calm face. He replied: "It should be..."

"Every time he takes the medicine, he has to buy some candied fruit to neutralize it. This time I will buy it back for him." Shen Lingyuan smiled, and he was already imagining how his brother-in-law would praise him after getting the candied fruit.

There were originally two sons in the Shen family of Changxing Marquis Mansion, one was the young master Shen Lingyuan, and the other was the adopted son brought back from the war by Marquis Changxing, who was sent to another place by Marquis Changxing because of a serious illness a few years ago General Yang, this is not in the house.

I heard that in recent years, it has grown better, and today I will come back with Marquis Chang Xing.Shen Lingyuan's trip was to prepare a meeting gift for his righteous brother whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Thinking that the team has reached two people, Shen Lingyuan smiled unabated, and asked gently: "How much is a bag of candied fruit, this girl."

Seeing the guest, the girl was not happy at all, like a frightened rabbit: "Master, son, if you like it, just take it! No, no money! No money!"

Shen Lingyuan looked at the terrified face of the little girl, puzzled like a monk Zhang Er was puzzled, followed the girl's eyes, and then realized the clue, it turned out that the big Buddha beside him was staring straight at her .

Shen Lingyuan now understands why the little girl is so afraid of herself.

He smiled helplessly at the girl, dropped some broken silver and took away a bag of candied fruit, then pulled the culprit aside, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Brother Xiao, this is the street, why are you so fierce, look Scared the girl!"

Lu Xiao stood up straight, without even raising his eyes, and replied calmly, "She may be an assassin."

"what?"

Shen Lingyuan raised his eyebrows, instinctively shrunk his neck back, and then looked at the slender girl not far away from his corner of the eye.

Almond eyes, willow waist, soft fingers, good foundation... Cough, he doesn't look like a martial artist at all.

When a guest came over, he timidly packed candied fruit for him, and when the guest left, he carefully put the money into a small pocket, and he didn't look like an assassin at all.

Shen Lingyuan: "I can't... Did you read it wrong?"

Lu Xiao remained calm and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Her skirt is lined with blood, and there is a silver needle pinned to the lower left corner of the small cloth pocket on her waist."

Shen Lingyuan still believed in his uncle in his bones, and narrowed his eyes, but it was useless, he didn't see any blood.

However, the moment the girl turned sideways to talk, Shen Lingyuan really saw a subtle light reflected from the lower left corner of the little cloth pocket.

"Hiss! Bold!" Shen Lingyuan gasped, and made a stride forward to catch the traitor, but before he could say the word "assassin", his neck tightened.

He was carried back by Lu Xiao again.

"It's also possible that it fell on the cloth pocket while doing needlework, and accidentally poked your hand before it got stuck on the hem of the clothes."

"No, then, so you're just scaring yourself like this?" Shen Lingyuan hung in the air with his arms folded, the collar still in Lu Xiao's hand, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

I don't want to lose face in front of so many people!

"As a bodyguard, naturally you can't let anyone suspicious go away." Lu Xiao finished speaking calmly, ignoring his master's big round eyes and pointing forward, "Golden Yi Pavilion."

After simply dismissing Shen Lingyuan, Lu Xiao turned around and saw the girl who sold candied fruit kindly introduced the types of candied fruit to others, and at the same time took out a silver coin from her sleeve with her jade finger.

Lu Xiao's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, but when he looked back again, Shen Lingyuan was nowhere to be seen.

Jin Yi Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a place dedicated to forging weapons for the children of rich families. The owner's name is Jin Qiaozui.

Although the owner is black, the quality of the weapons in this store is excellent, so there are still a large number of patrons to support, and the business is getting more and more prosperous.

"What are you going to buy, my lord? We have all kinds of knives, guns and forks here. The price is fair, and..."

"Stop!" Shen Lingyuan interrupted Jin Qiao's nonsense with a raised palm, and stepped forward to get straight to the point, "I saw a silver cloud pattern dagger at your house half a year ago, but now it can be Ready?"

Jin Qiao patted her thigh with her mouth, held Shen Lingyuan's hand, and was as excited as if she had met a bosom friend: "Hey! This young man is a person who knows the goods at first glance, and that is the only treasure of our shop. You are too." Coincidentally, the silver pattern dagger was just finished yesterday, but..."

Shen Lingyuan shook off Jin Qiaozui's hand in disgust, pretending he didn't see the face of a profiteer: "But what?"

Jin Qiaozui didn't care about Shen Lingyuan's actions, he chuckled and lowered his voice: "The price of this dagger is not cheap, I wonder if you can pay for it all at once?"

Shen Lingyuan threw down his money bag in disdain: "Master, I am fully prepared when I come out this time, promise. Is this enough?"

Jin Qiaozui saw that the eyes of the money were open, and hurriedly opened the money bag, his eyes were shining with gold, and his brows were instantly beaming with joy: "That's enough, please, young master, please wait a moment in the private seat, I will send someone to fetch it."

Shen Lingyuan sat down with Jin Qiaozui, and chatted a few words in the wrong way, but he was looking forward to the return of the waiter with a hardcover box.

He couldn't wait to take the box, took out the dagger, and saw the pure black scabbard dotted with a few light silver cloud patterns glowing with soft light. With just one glance at Shen Lingyuan, he felt that he was the same as his brother who was both talented and beautiful. It matches very well.

Jin Qiaozui has been in business for many years, so he naturally saw Shen Lingyuan's liking. It is a fortune for such a rich and powerful customer to make a fortune. He waved his hand to signal Xiaoer to step down, and he continued to flatter: "Young master has a good vision." , I think you have a very good temperament and this dagger is very suitable. I wonder if you will take a look at the other weapons in our shop? I heard that the capital is not peaceful recently, so it is better to prepare more for self-defense."

Shen Lingyuan put the dagger back into his clothes and was a little curious: "Oh? In this new building, there are guards from the Forbidden Army outside, so what else could be unsafe?"

"Don't you know yet?" The boss saw that someone was being tricked, so he tiptoed to Shen Lingyuan and whispered in Shen Lingyuan's ear, "The villain got the news that Changxing Hou colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country and conspired against the country! Now the imperial court is hunting for his accomplices everywhere! "

Shen Lingyuan paused for a moment when he heard the words, then turned his head suddenly, "Let your mother go...you are talking nonsense!"

Make up nonsense and put it on my own head, can this be tolerated?

Anger surged up in an instant, and Shen Lingyuan still cared about the status of a famous official, so he nudged the boss, "The Marquis of Changxing is full of loyalty, and he has made great achievements in opening up the territory for Donglin. How can there be rebellion! You are full of nonsense! Shameless, be careful I will sue you for defamation!"

There was so much commotion here that the customers in the shop all paid attention and started whispering.

"He didn't know about the fact that Marquis Changxing was bestowed to death outside the pass?"

"It's likely that the son who made a mistake was released after being locked up by the elders!"

"Hey, don't you think this person is very familiar? Does he look like the young master of Marquis Changxing?"

"Don't say they really look alike, they are all dressed in red!"

This is the scene that Lu Xiao saw just after entering the door, the shopkeeper pretending to be rolling on the ground, the bewildered waiter, and everyone whispering.

His face darkened, he slid out a few steps, grabbed Shen Lingyuan's shoulder and rushed out the door.

Shen Lingyuan was blushing one second before and his neck was thick, and he was about to attack, but the next second he felt his shoulders tense, and his body moved out of the store in an instant, across several streets, and onto the roof.

Shen Lingyuan was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly realized that he hadn't settled with the boss yet, he was full of anger, and just wanted to get up and ask Lu Xiao why he didn't let him teach Jin Qiaozui a lesson, but when he raised his eyes, it was his uncle Zhang has a rather dignified handsome face.

My heart seemed to miss a beat.

The two fell silently on the roof for a while, Shen Lingyuan glanced under the eaves from the corner of his eyes, and saw a group of marching soldiers in black armor, holding red tasseled spears and spears, they were Dong Lin's most mysterious imperial guards .

And everyone held a portrait in their hands.

And the person in the painting is him in red.

Shen Lingyuan's pupils seemed to be shaking: "It's a lie."

"Who?!"
