045

Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment, hugged An Yue's waist, and thanked her: "Thank you."

Seeing the bride being taken away, the second master of the Cheng family was furious, "You bastard, why don't you chase her!"

Shi An, who was hiding in the dark, shot a few cold arrows to intimidate them.

Song Jin turned around, opened the door and rushed out.

There were constant curses and rapid footsteps behind him, but Song Jin didn't even turn his head and rushed forward with all his strength.

A carriage suddenly appeared not far away.

Cui Huaiji held the reins tightly, leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hand to her.

Song Jin looked at him, smiled beautifully, and without hesitation, she took his hand and jumped into the carriage.

The guards who were chasing after them could only watch the carriage leave.

The second master of the Cheng family was furious: "Go after him! You must bring that bastard An Yue back!"

*

In the carriage, Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "My Lord, we kidnapped someone's bride!"

Cui Huaiji handed over the handkerchief skillfully and said "hmm" when he heard it.

Song Jin didn't care and wiped the dirt off his face in front of the bronze mirror.

"The Cheng family probably married Madam An for the purpose of setting up a ghost marriage for the old man of the Cheng family." Song Jin's eyes sparkled, and he pulled him aside to talk about the news he had heard, "The tablets of the old man and his wife of the Cheng family are still placed in the mourning hall! I think it's better for Madam An to run away..."

Cui Huaiji looked at her with doting eyes.

He has already sent people to investigate the Cheng family's affairs.

The Cheng and An families got married just to give a happy surprise to the terminally ill old man of the Cheng family. However, before the surprise came, the eldest son of the Cheng family was assassinated. Upon hearing the sad news, the old man of the Cheng family died suddenly.

The Cheng family was afraid that he would die with regrets, so they ignored Mrs. Cheng's pleas and buried her alive as a burial companion.

As for getting married, it was a ghost marriage, hoping to give the old man of the Cheng family a concubine.

A young woman is the most suitable.

Song Jin rolled his eyes and listened to what he said in his heart without saying a word, and sighed a little.

The truth turned out to be like this, luckily the person was saved.

[But will the second master of the Cheng family give up? Can they leave Suizhou smoothly? ]

Cui Huaiji glanced sideways.

You seem to care about others.

"This kind of plan must not happen again."

[If there is no other suitable method this time, no matter how cute Meimei acts, it will be useless.]

Song Jin puffed up his cheeks.

Is this called addiction?

[My method is pretty good! ]

The carriage came to a sudden stop.

Cui Huaiji was quick to reach out and stop her falling body.

"Shi An, what's going on?"

Shi An looked at the group of people at the door of the house and was silent for a moment: "...They are the prefect's people."

Song Jin and Cui Huaiji looked at each other. Cui Huaiji shook his head lightly, telling her not to act rashly, and got off the carriage first.

The governor of Suizhou was named □□, who was in his teens, but he was frail and thin, which made him look like an honest official.

Prefect Lu was standing at the door with a group of people from the government office. At first glance, they looked like they were there to arrest a criminal.

"I have met the Marquis."

Prefect Lu walked forward with a flattering smile, waved his palm behind him, and a group of people made way for him.

He walked straight to the carriage and said, "My Lord, you are coming to Suizhou. I am sorry that I failed to greet you in person. I am afraid that I have neglected you."

Cui Huaiji glanced at the guards around him and sneered, "The prefect brought a group of people to block my house in the middle of the night. This really gave me a big shock."

Prefect Lu bowed and said, "It was my fault for neglecting this matter. I will ask them to leave now."

After receiving the instructions, Li Muyi bowed to the two of them and left with his men.

When passing by the carriage, I looked up subconsciously and caught a glimpse of Song Jin's profile from under the curtain.

That strange feeling of closeness reappeared.

Song Jin seemed to have sensed something, but turned around and saw nothing.

Strange, could she be wrong?

On the other side, Cui Huaiji still looked unhappy. "Prefect Lu, it's late at night. If you have anything to say, let's wait until tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Prefect Lu put on a fake smile and uttered some flattering words before leaving with a heavy heart.

Shi An silently pulled the horse rope and entered the mansion.

All in all, there was someone in every household who had trouble sleeping that night.

*

It was not yet daybreak and the roosters had not yet crowed.

Song Jin had only been asleep for a few hours when he was awakened by a loud noise coming from the yard.

I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window, but it was still dark.

She is a delicate young lady, so it is better for her not to go out easily without knowing what the situation is like outside.

I definitely don’t dare to sleep.

Song Jin simply put on his cloak, poked a hole in the door, and peeked at what was going on outside.

The sky was already somewhat brighter, so it was not difficult to see the scene in the yard.

There seems to be a dark shadow at the corner.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

A sudden knock on the door startled her.

Qing Wu's voice was a little anxious: "Madam, are you okay?!"

It turned out to be Qingmist.

Song Jin heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door: "I'm fine, there seems to be something in there."

Qing Wu looked in the direction she said.

There is indeed a black thing.

She swallowed and tried to give herself courage: "Madam, I'll go take a look, don't come over."

The dark shadow huddled in the corner, motionless.

Qingwu felt relieved for a moment, and picked up a branch to poke the black thing.

Feels a bit soft.

She mustered up a little more courage and went closer to take a look.

"Madam! It's Miss Lin!"

Song Jin was slightly surprised.

Lin Shuang?!

The two of them worked together to move Lin Shuang to the bed.

The wounds on Lin Shuang's waist and abdomen were almost serious again, and blood was constantly oozing out. There were also many new cuts in other places, some shallow and some deep.

Song Jin discovered that she was holding something in her hand.

"Qingwu, go get a basin of water."

"yes."

Song Jin pried open her clenched palms.

It's a peace knot.

It looked familiar. She remembered seeing one on Lin Shuang's waist belt.

Song Jin pulled her hands apart and saw another peace knot on her waist belt. The two formed a pair.

Her intuition told her that something must have happened after they separated.

We have to take care of Lin Shuang’s injuries right now.

The sky brightened completely.

The loud crowing of roosters breaks the morning.

Qing Wu hurriedly took the doctor to the backyard and unexpectedly bumped into Cui Huaiji and another man who were about to go out.

Qing Wu quickly explained, "Ms. Lin ran back in the middle of the night with serious injuries and is still unconscious."

Cui Huaiji gave up the idea of ​​going out at that moment, turned around and left her.

Shi An called from behind: "My Lord, where is Prefect Lu?"

"Just tell him I'll be there later."

*

In the foggy jungle, An Yue, dressed in a red wedding dress, was pushed into the coffin. The people around her watched her crying indifferently with shovels in their hands, then mercilessly closed the coffin and buried her with soil.

Lin Shuang looked at this scene and felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. She was completely awakened from her nightmare.

"You're awake."

My vision gradually becomes clearer.

Lin Shuang saw Song Jin with a concerned look on her face and Cui Huaiji behind her.

The usually cold-blooded killer cried for the first time and hated his own body for the first time.

She staggered out of the bed and bowed to the two of them.

"Lin Shuangsu begs Lord Hou to save Yue Niang!"

Song Jin wanted to lift her hand up but it was hanging in the air, so he stood aside with his eyes downcast.

Cui Huaiji lowered his eyes and said, "I have helped you once before."

Lin Shuang understood what he meant.

Qu Ling Hou never takes action for no reason. The last time she did it was because of Song Jin's help.

"Master Hou, help me rescue Yue Niang, and I will tell you the answer you want when you came to Suizhou!"

Cui Huaiji looked at the frail killer with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

The investigation was very careful.

Suizhou is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere.

Cui Huaiji pinched her chin, his eyes were cold, "I don't like people who think they are smart. I hope the answer you give me is worthy of what you said today."

Lin Shuang was completely determined, "As long as Lord Hou helps me rescue Yue Niang!"

Cui Huaiji turned and left, "Just wait patiently."

He left so decisively that Song Jin was still immersed in his cold expression.

I suddenly remembered that this was how Cui Huaiji looked when I first met him.

Her expression was cold, not at all like the compassionate Guanyin as people said. Her eyes were blinded by her past gentleness.

It was as if she had never known the real Cui Huaiji.

*

The people who took An Yue away were not from the Cheng family. According to Lin Shuang's description, that group of people were the partners that An Yue overheard, and perhaps they were also the party of King Suli that Cui Huaiji wanted to track down.

There was no news from the Cheng family. The fact that the bride was missing was kept secret. The whole family began to prepare for the burial of the Cheng family's eldest son.

But Cui Huaiji still found their tail.

The second son of the Cheng family sneaked into a farm in the middle of the night.

Shi An knocked him out with a knife and dragged his second son to guard outside the door.

An Yue, who was inside the house, got nervous immediately upon hearing the noise and started banging on the window like crazy.

Cui Huaiji walked in slowly and looked at An Yue calmly.

An Yue didn't know him, and she was afraid of the aura he emanated.

"An Yue."

Cui Huaiji raised the corners of his lips, and that extremely deceptive face looked extremely sad. He was like a god who descended from the sky to come here to save her.

An Yue was successfully deceived by her.

His hands and feet were bound and his mouth was blocked.

Her face was covered in dust, her hair was disheveled, and she looked extremely unkempt.

An Yue asked him for help.

Cui Huaiji slowly squatted down and looked at her at eye level. "Tell me, does Lin Shuang know that you are using her to escape from the An family?"

An Yue's body froze and his eyes widened.

A sarcastic sneer escaped his lips.

"You knew that Lin Shuang was a killer. You saved her and treated her well just to impress her and get her to help you kill the Cheng family's eldest son and stop the marriage. But you didn't expect them to marry you to the second son. You couldn't resist. You knew that Lin Shuang would come to save you regardless of anything, so you were waiting for her to come to you."

"But you didn't expect those people to suddenly show up and disrupt your plan, and you were still caught by them."

bass!

The sharp dagger touched her cheek.

An Yue shed tears of fear.

"Madam An has a good plan." Cui Huaiji frowned, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "You have been trapped in your concubine's room for three years and you are still so well-informed about the outside world. The moment you saw Song Jin, you changed your mind."

"You deliberately let Lin Shuang go, knowing that she would go to Song Jin and that Song Jin would be soft-hearted and ask me for help. But unfortunately, Song Jin is not as soft-hearted as you thought. She chose to stand on my side and let me make the decision."

Cui Huaiji's eyes slowly passed over her face. "I'm curious, how did you know our identities? Did you reveal those people to Song Jin on purpose?"

An Yue begged for mercy.

She was wrong, this man was terrible.

Even before they met, he could see through all her plans.

Cui Huaiji lowered his eyes, "I hate being schemed against the most in my life. Do you think you can still see the sun tomorrow?"
