stepson

On the night of July, the moon hangs high in the sky like a silver plate, birds and frogs twitter, and wolves howl occasionally.Su Zhaoxue rested in the carriage of the carriage, and the rented family only vacated one room.The house was occupied by Shang Xuanlie, so he had to come out to sleep in the carriage.

The breeze blew through the curtains, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees, and the moonlight cast a silver glow through the window. It was rare for Su Zhaoxue to suffer from insomnia. He couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in the carriage.After getting out of the carriage, he wanted to take a turn before going back to sleep.

Surprisingly, it was found that the light was still on in the kitchen. The hostess of the house was not asleep yet. It was hard work raising three children by herself. Su Zhaoxue sighed with emotion.When passing by the kitchen, I heard the conversation inside.

"Damn it, a notice was put up in the town today, saying that a bandit killed many people and robbed other people's goods. Hey, this world is too dangerous." The voice of a middle-aged man.

"Isn't that right, the head of the family, today there is an official who was injured by a bandit renting in our house, and the girl even wiped the injured official's body, and came back and told me that he had three holes in his body. Can't move, his face and mouth are black and blue. But he looks like a man, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person in his clothes. I thought that if the big girl took care of me, I could go back with the official and be a maid or something. , can earn some money, and save money for the family..."

Hearing this, Su Zhaoxue smiled knowingly, it would be nice if this big girl was brought back to Bei'an Palace by Shang Xuanlie and arranged for her to do errands.

"The face is black and blue? Still can't move? Can you talk?" The middle-aged man interrupted the woman and asked nervously.

"I don't think so. I heard from Da Niu that the man has never spoken, but he looks dignified."

"My God, you prodigal bitch recruited a bandit to your home. The government posted a notice saying that the bandit was seriously injured, his mouth and face were black and blue, and he couldn't move or speak. If people saw it, they should report it to the police immediately. I can reward you with 500 taels of silver. No wonder no one found it, but someone rescued it.”

"What?" The scream of the woman in the night was a bit miserable for no reason. "Then what should I do, master?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to report to the government all night now, you keep an eye on them. This is 500 taels of silver." The man hurriedly confessed, "Don't let them run away."

"Okay, head of the house, you go and come back quickly, I will ask the big dog and the big girl to help." The woman calmed down.

When Su Zhaoxue heard it outside, she quickly dodged and saw a burly middle-aged man taking a stick and hurried away in the dark.The woman came out with her clothes on and stood outside Shang Xuanlie's house, peeking in for a while, then went back to the kitchen.

Seeing that there was no one there, Su Zhaoxue entered the room, saw Shang Xuanlie lying on the kang topless, and immediately opened his eyes when he heard his footsteps.Su Zhaoxue was startled, this person was so vigilant, she thought he had fallen asleep!

"Someone bought your life with 500 taels of silver." There is no doubt, Su Zhaoxue is sure that the notice posted by the government is aimed at Shang Xuanlie, but who is so bold to take the life of Prince Bei'an on the territory of Bei'an Palace ?This person's ability is not ordinary, even the government has been dispatched, I am afraid that he has something to do with the Bei'an Palace.

"What, what's going on?" Shang Xuanlie asked with difficulty after hearing this.

Su Zhaoxue repeated to him what he had just heard, Shang Xuanlie was silent for a while, and said: "Please save me next time, my benefactor."

This attitude is really low. If this person can stretch and bend over this calamity, I am afraid that his mind will be tempered to a higher level.Su Zhaoxue sighed secretly, and said, "This is the second time."

He bent down to lift Shang Xuanlie up from the kang and sat up, then squatted down and raised his back.The corners of Shang Xuanlie's mouth were tightly pursed, he knew what this black-faced man meant, this was the second time he saved him, let him remember to repay his kindness.

After helping him into the carriage, Su Zhaoxue pulled the carriage and wanted to leave quietly.But the horse neighed, which attracted the woman's attention, she walked out of the kitchen, followed by two children, one was the big girl who was serving Shang Xuanlie today, and the older boy was only about eight years old.

"Put down the man in the car, you can go." The woman took out a kitchen knife from behind and held it in front of her face, and said sternly.The girl and boy behind her each held a wooden stick tightly in both hands, with no fear on their faces.

Su Zhaoxue raised his eyebrows. He had long heard that the people of the Northland were tough, and if they were nervous during a war, women and children would follow them to the battlefield.Looking at it this way, it really lives up to its reputation.Su Zhaoxue was too lazy to waste words with them.Go straight to the front and knock them unconscious, give them each a sleep-inducing pill, and move them into the kitchen.

Sit on the handlebars and leave here quickly with the carriage.Shang Xuanlie in the carriage suddenly asked: "You, you, how are they?"

"Don't worry, I didn't kill them, I just knocked them out." Su Zhaoxue thought he killed the mother and child, and he was not the executioner. "I have no grievances with them, and they only treat us as bandits. It is normal to hold a knife and not let us leave."

Shang Xuanlie, who was in the carriage, was silent after hearing this. In fact, he meant to ask this person to kill him. At this time, he was unable to move, and this person couldn't figure out the details and didn't dare to believe it. He couldn't contact his cronies.He didn't want to reveal his whereabouts at all.Hearing what this person said, it was difficult for him to speak.

As a ruler of the upper class, Shang Xuanlie thought it was natural.His life is of course more valuable than the lives of three civilians, not to mention that this family contacted the government behind his back to betray him, which has already touched his sensitive and suspicious heartstrings.

At this time, the moon is already high in the sky, and it is impossible to find someone else.He could only park the carriage in the woods, and Su Zhaoxue was going to rest here for a night before making any plans.

"Can you go back again?" Shang Xuanlie asked aloud.

"Hey, have your brain been poisoned and stupid? We escaped with great difficulty, don't forget, you can't move your whole body now, and it's difficult for you to speak." Su Zhaoxue is annoyed, can't this person stop for a while?

"I want to know who poisoned it." Shang Xuanlie said. "Otherwise I will die in peace."

Su Zhaoxue understood in seconds, and what he said was nice, this person has reached this point, and he still doesn't forget to plan to find out his enemy so that he can take revenge.He also wanted to see who wanted his life, and immediately turned the car back, he really didn't want to watch the excitement at all.

"What if someone finds out?" Su Zhaoxue asked intentionally.

"You can throw me down to escape." Shang Xuanlie said.

"Hmph, the dead prince of Bei'an is useless." Su Zhaoxue snorted coldly. This person probably knew that he knew his identity, so he said that on purpose. "It's not easy to owe favors to people like you. Don't forget, this is your third favor."

"As long as I escape this catastrophe, if you have any need to speak up, as long as I can do it." Shang Xuanlie said.

Shang Xuanlie couldn't sleep after being hunted down. This black-faced man saved him. Although he had a bad attitude, it was obvious that this man didn't want him to die.He thought about it carefully for a while, and realized that people don't get up early without benefit, let alone such kind-hearted words.Shang Xuanlie didn't believe it, this black-faced man didn't look like a kind person.Now he is poisoned and can't move, and the valuable things on his body can be taken away as long as this person reaches out, but he didn't do so, so only the son of Prince Bei'an can let this person help him like this.He also figured this out just now, and Shang Xuanlie felt a little relieved.It was concluded that this man must have known him, and that his life was safe for the time being.That's why he tentatively said the words to let him go back.

"By the way, I don't know your honorable name yet." Shang Xuanlie asked.

It was only at this time that Su Zhaoxue found out where she had exposed her flaws. She had never told Shang Xuanlie her name, because she had met him twice, so she couldn't help but be familiar with his attitude. Was this telling him that she knew him?Su Zhaoxue couldn't help being discouraged, and directly told her name: "Su Zhaoxue."

When Shang Xuanlie heard it, that frightening face immediately appeared in his mind.Because Princess Yilian took an extra look at him in Bailong Mountain, Shang Xuanlie got annoyed and recalled Shadow Twelve who was following him, and gave up his solicitation.At this time, there is a feeling of lifting a rock and hitting one's own foot.If Shadow Twelve hadn't been recalled, he might have contacted his cronies by now.

However, by the way, isn't this person in the capital?How did you come to the northwest?Shang Xuanlie couldn't help but think of the stupid plan of the third prince to buy off the Tatar country with gold. Could it be that he has something to do with this plan?
