Lin Miao seemed to lose her soul, and sat there for a while without moving.

Maybe I was dreaming, Lin Miao closed the small cash box and put it in the bed, then closed her eyes and lay flat on the bed.

Bi Ru didn't know what Lin Miao was doing by the side, so she stretched out her hand to pull him, which was like completely pulling Lin Miao out of her final fantasy.

He suddenly sat up from the bed, jumped onto the ground with his bare feet, and after hastily turning around the room twice, the resentment in his heart wished that he could jump on the back of the tile, or go out directly to find the steward and the guards to investigate the matter thoroughly .

Too bad!

Lin Miao wanted to cry, but 30 taels of silver was not a big deal for many people in the palace. However, he had saved this little money for so long, and he was planning to start from a small fast food restaurant. Saving up his wife's capital, the small treasury just flew away.

Thinking of Biru's proposal to buy an old hen to make soup for him a few days ago, he was actually hungry to death, but he reluctantly refused in order to save money, and then the cold reality at this moment told Lin Miao, you don't want to drink old hen soup , Someone help you drink it!

Lin Miao shut herself up.

Because he didn't have the guts to make a big deal out of it.

After all, the presence of the two male protagonists has dropped to the lowest level in history. Now if it is because of this that they get their attention again, Lin Dongsong will not dare to take the risk of trying this option with unknown results.

After Lin Miao washed and changed, she stood in the yard looking at the wall with a dejected mood.The top of the courtyard wall is white and clean, but some moss has grown on the bottom because of the humidity. The moss is missing a wet piece, and there are a few more footprints on the top. Following the traces of the footprints, someone should have dug out from here not long ago. Pass.

His yard is not only small but also remote, the outside is separated by a wall, and occasionally there are carriages and horses passing by, as if they are right next to his ears.It had been vacant for several years before Lin Miao moved in, and usually there were few guards.The majesty of the palace can only be realized by walking a hundred and eighty steps from his yard.

It is not impossible for a brave little thief to come to try his luck after finding out who lives here, but why is he unlucky? up.

The courtyard wall is always innocent.

Lin Miao went back to the house bored. Fortunately, he didn't have any penny, he still had more than three taels of silver left in the monthly bill. He gave Biru fifty Wen and asked her to send his wife to buy an old mother's house. The chicken is stewed at night.

Then Lin Miao stared at the three taels of silver in his hand, trying to imagine how to start his own business with three taels of silver in this era.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Miao had no idea, so he could only point his empty head on the table.

But it was useless to sit and wait. Lin Miao was full of chicken at noon, and after drinking enough chicken soup, he packed up and went out familiarly.

Because I have been out a lot, I am familiar with several frequent routes. Of course, the main reason is that Lin Miao does not have the capital to reward him. The driver is getting impatient with him, and the position of master and servant between the two is fast. After the exchange, Lin Miao simply didn't need a carriage.Anyway, not to mention walking and exercising, you can still do things according to your own time, and you don't have to worry about the driver.

After turning around for two streets, Lin Miao didn't see anything useful, but on the way back, he met a sugar seller, who attracted many children to look at it.

Lin Miao went over and asked the sugar figure master to draw a puppy for himself. He picked it up and stood beside a group of children staring at the master. Although his face was tanned, the childishness on it was still there. Not very inconsistent.

The master craftsman is very good, not only the movements are fast, but also the paintings are similar. A penny is a small sugar painting, and there are still many children who can take it out of their belts or ask for it from their parents.

Lin Miao asked the master while eating candy: "Master, how long have you been learning this?"

The old master was very easy-going, and said with a smile: "I have been doing it for more than ten years. My father used to do it. When he left, I took over."

"One has to have a craft to start a family and a career." Lin Miao sighed.

The old master glanced at him, maybe he felt that Lin Miao didn't seem like a caring person, so he smiled and said, "No, my father built a house in the countryside with this, and now I also bought a small house in the city. The yard is gone, although it is not big, it is enough for my son to marry a daughter-in-law and let my daughter return to her natal family to have a place to live."

To buy a small courtyard in this city, even the most remote places cost a few dozen taels of silver, and for a slightly passable location, hundreds of taels are also required.Not to mention that this is still saved money, and the whole family usually spends money on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Lin Miao looked at the sugar figurine in his hand again, and felt that this little sugar figurine contained a lot of energy.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this skill, and it's too late to learn it now.

After Lin Miao finished eating the sugar figurine, she thought of Bi Ru, who was like a half-grown child at home, and bought her a piggy one, and took it all the way back to the palace.

Passing through the alley of the Wangfu, and outside the courtyard where I lived, I saw a long trace on the outside of the courtyard wall, as if someone had rubbed against the wall when he jumped out of it.

Lin Miao had already calmed down a lot, but because of this extra look, she became angry again.

He walked forward with his head down, and walked a few hundred steps before arriving at the back door of the palace.The guards at the back door already knew him, except for taking one more look at the candy piglet in Lin Miao's hand, they let him in directly.

Lin Miao walked forward, thinking why was she so unlucky?In the final analysis, the location where he lived was too remote, chickens don't lay eggs, birds don't shit, and there are small thieves who dare to climb over the wall in the majestic palace, which means that there are no guards on his side.

Alas, Lin Miao sighed in his heart, his bad luck didn't start from today.If I am a lucky person, how can I travel to such a novel with a strange plot that was sent to Lei Wen to complain about?

There was a small stone lying under a tree by the roadside. Lin Miao kicked it, and the stone flew forward and landed at a man's feet.

Lin Miao was worried, afraid that he had kicked some important person, but when he raised his head, he breathed a sigh of relief.The stone landed at the feet of Guanshi Li in the mansion. Li Guanshi took over the work of Guanshi Sun. He had contacts with various courtyards, so he naturally knew Lin Miao.

Li Guanshi is kind and polite to Lin Miao. Lin Miao has a good impression of him and feels that not everyone in this house is impersonal.

Li Guanshi lowered his head and kicked the stone at his feet into the flower bed on the side of the road, then raised his head and gave Lin Miao a shallow salute, and then said, "Mr. Lin is coming back from outside?"

"Yeah." Lin Miao nodded, and quickly put away the unhappy face when he kicked the stone in front of him.

Guanshi Li was about to leave, Lin Miao looked at his kind and amiable face like his own grandfather, and couldn't help but want to talk about his lost money, "Guanshi Li, that,"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Miao felt that there was still a risk in this matter, so after Li Guanshi turned his head to look at him, he abruptly stopped talking.

Li Guanshi stopped and looked at Lin Miao: "Master Lin, you can speak directly if you have something to say."

"I just wondered," Lin Miao said after holding back for a while, "I just wondered whether our house is safe or not."

Li Guanshi said with a smile: "Wangfu is naturally the safest place in Jin."

"Probably." Lin Miao lowered her head, with a trace of boredom in her pupils, then raised her head and said goodbye to Guanshi Li, saying goodbye to him and returning to her small courtyard.

into the night.

The moonlight hangs brightly over the land of Jin, casting a faint light with the stars.The servants passed by under the veranda with lanterns, a dark orange halo swayed in front of them, pushing the darkness in front of them to their heels, and every footstep that fell was covered in the summer Among the croaking of insects and frogs at night.

Gradually, there were even fewer servants walking around, leaving only patrolling guards passing under the courtyard wall with cold knives, and the sound of footsteps only sounded once every half stick of incense.

Yuwen took the girl to wait for Xie Yan to wash up, then retreated one after another with lowered eyes.

The candles in the room were not extinguished, and it could be seen that there was a man sitting by the window reading a book, and the servants and servants all carefully lowered their steps when they passed the window.

The moving clouds covered the moonlight and the openness of the courtyard.The guards on patrol walked past the base of the wall, and almost at the same time another step fell behind them, without attracting the slightest attention from the predecessors.

The figure was wearing a night suit, hidden in the darkness, flipped over the courtyard wall very lightly, and landed silently behind a tree inside the courtyard wall.

His actions were very decisive, and he was sure that the figure by the window in the room could not be King Jin, but Xie Yan.So the man in black untied the bow and arrow he was carrying, carefully took out one of the highly poisonous arrows that had been quenched in the arrow basket, pulled the bow to the full with both hands, and then aimed at the figure's head, the arrow came out of the string, and lightning Generally flew straight past.

In such a short distance, even beginners will not make mistakes.And even if Xie Yan's fate was high, the arrow would not kill him, but the poison on the arrow would cause him to die painfully within a few days.

The sound of the arrow leaving the string pierced the air, and the whistling sound immediately aroused the vigilance of the patrolling guards outside the courtyard wall. However, after the sound, the arrow had already pierced through the window and landed on the head of the figure in the room. Also fell down.

The man in black took back his bow and arrow in satisfaction, then jumped onto the courtyard wall, and escaped into the darkness in a few steps.Several of the guards also immediately chased after him.

The rest of the guards rushed into the yard in a panic. The leader saw the big hole in the window at a glance. He thought that the yard would be a mess, but who would have thought that after the door was opened, the princess was unharmed. stood up,

The chief guard let out a solemn sigh of relief, and immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "My subordinate's ineffective inspection has surprised the princess."

"Whether it's dead or alive, bring him back to me." Xie Yan's tone was light, and he didn't look frightened at all. On the contrary, his appearance made people feel anxious.

The chief guard groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to respond, and retreated under orders.

That night Qingqiu Courtyard was almost surrounded by an iron barrel, and the guards all opened their eyes wide and did not dare to relax for fear that something might go wrong.

In the room, Xie Yan stood by the soft couch and looked at the crooked scarecrow. If there were not two iron sheets on the scarecrow's head, the arrow in front would pass through the straw without hindrance. deeply embedded in the roof pillars.

Xie Yan picked up the arrow with his fingertips, and the arrow made a hissing sound when it was burned by the candlelight.

His gaze was indifferent, and the slightly flickering candle flame was reflected in his pupils, until a drop of venom was roasted black and dripped down to cover the candle wick, and the flame suddenly went out.

This is unreserved killing intent.

Xie Yan's hand tightened suddenly, veins popped out of the hand holding the arrow body, and he thrust the arrow into the crooked straw ball forcefully, a gust of wind came out from his sleeve, smashing the only candlelight left in the room into it. into the dark.

Two hours later, under heavy pursuit, an embarrassing man in black was tied up with ropes and thrown into the Qingqiu courtyard with eyes full of disbelief.The chief guard's face was covered with sweat, and several guards had paint on their bodies. They looked at the man in black and wanted to go up and kick him again.

Yuwen stood behind Xie Yan, turned her head and winked at the little girls, telling them to go back to the room.

Seeing this, the maids and women who were waiting for the master's order hurriedly retreated to their own rooms, and were a little terrified by the scene.

The mouth of the man in black was gagged, and he almost killed himself by poisoning himself when he was caught in the front, but he failed when he was lucky, so he was sent to Xie Yan alive at this moment.

Xie Yan didn't speak, he looked down at the man in black who was lying crookedly. There were two arrows on the back of the man in black, and he could tell at a glance that they were the same as the one in the room.

Xie Yan drew out his saber, the tenacity gleamed with silvery light under the firelight, showing a gloomy coldness.

The cloth ball from the man in black's mouth was pulled out, but he kept his mouth closed and didn't intend to speak.

Xie Yan opened his lips and said coldly: "Cut his tongue."

Xie Yan knew who was going to kill him, he didn't need and didn't intend to ask anything from a dead man.

The guard moved in response to the sound, and the small dagger quickly pulled a mass of flesh from the man in black's mouth, and fell to the ground with a thud.Yuwen frowned, and turned her head away.

Xie Yan had someone bind the man in black's arms and legs. As he raised his sword and dropped it, the limbs of the man in black separated from his torso. Not much blood came out.

Xie Yan drew back his sword, took the handkerchief Yuwen handed him, and wiped off the blood on the blade. He calmly looked at the man in black and said, "You don't have to die, go back alive and give it to your master." Come back."

The man in black passed out from the severe pain all over his body, and the guards were silent. It's not like they didn't kill people, and some even fell from the battlefield with their heads pinned to their waistbands. However, Xie Yan is completely different.In his eyes, neither death nor existence seemed to have any meaning, they were just indifferently torturing and reaping, just like Yama.

The news of Qingqiu Yuan's assassination did not spread in the palace. In fact, even the maids and women in the courtyard did not know exactly what happened, let alone dared to say anything more.

Only Xie Yan's subordinates had heard about this incident, and they changed the external arrangement after hearing Xie Yan's assignment.

Li Guanshi has lingering fears about this, a dead man can break into the palace and almost succeed in the assassination, what a big mistake is this?

Standing next to Xie Yan, he thought carefully about the events of these days, and suddenly remembered something suspicious, and after hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth to tell Xie Yan.

"The subordinate met Lin Miao the day before yesterday, and it was a little strange that he hesitated to speak. At this time, what he said was also a little strange, as if there was a deep meaning behind it."

Xie Yan clasped the teacup hand, turned to look at Li Guanshi, and thought for a moment before remembering who Lin Miao was in Li Guanshi's mouth.

"What?" Xie Yan asked.

"He asked about the safety of the mansion, and he seemed to have doubts about it. At first, his subordinates didn't take it to heart, but now that he thinks about it, the timing is too coincidental."

Xie Yan's gaze became sharp.

And the most unlucky little counselor in the courtyard is still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, completely unaware that an unwarranted disaster is about to fall on him.
