After the Duke of Huguo's Mansion tightened its security, she couldn't get out.

She still couldn't figure out why the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion suddenly stepped up its alert. Did they guess that someone would come to spy on her tonight?

Or did something happen that she didn't know about and she was just unlucky to run into it?

I remember now, the peddler who poisoned the old marquis is dead.

The peddler's mistress is from the Huguogong Mansion. If she can't find Xiangzi, she may guess that Xiangzi is in trouble and that their affair has been exposed. If things go wrong, someone from the Zhenbeihou Mansion may come to investigate secretly tonight.

"In that case, it's no surprise that they're stepping up their guard."

Su Xiaoxiao found a relatively sparsely populated corner, pulled on her gloves, and easily climbed over the wall.

As soon as she landed, a cold arrow flew at her.

She caught it with her bare hands and held the shining arrow in a handsome manner.

The guard who shot the arrow at her was stunned.

This... little fat assassin actually caught the arrow with his bare hands...?

You know, arrows are very sharp.

Su Xiaoxiao spun around and threw the arrow in her hand at the guards.

The guard was shocked and quickly blocked the arrow with his bow.

He was forced back several steps! What a terrible force!

He shouted solemnly, "Someone come! There's an assassin!"

The guards from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion rushed over and surrounded Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste time talking and rolled up her sleeves to get to work.

Her body was much more flexible than at the beginning. Every time the guards seemed to want to catch her, she would slip away from their hands like a loach.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and the disadvantage in numbers caused Su Xiaoxiao to suffer serious physical depletion.

Three guards blocked her from the front, left, and right, and another guard attacked her from behind.

In the blink of an eye, a hidden weapon flew over and hit the guard's wrist.

The guard screamed and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao punched him back with her little fist, knocking him away like a sandbag.

It was another man in black who rescued Su Xiaoxiao. He didn't fight with the opponent for too long. He took Su Xiaoxiao into the air, displayed his lightness skills and disappeared into the endless night.

"Chase!"

The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was guarded by cavalry, who rode their horses in pursuit of the two men.

"Su Mo?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The man in black paused unexpectedly and nodded: "Yeah."

"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly.

Su Mo said coldly: "I should be the one asking you this."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Just talk, don't slow down, keep going."

Su Mo hesitated: Why do you think I slowed down? The Duke of Huguo's Mansion had the most elite cavalry in the Great Zhou. They were divided into three groups. One group of cavalry chased Su Mo and Su Xiaoxiao, and the other two groups of cavalry took a detour to encircle them.

Su Xiaoxiao looked back from the eaves and said, "Well, there is still a strategy."

Su Mo said calmly: "What do you think of the cavalry that Qin Canglan brought with him?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, so what is Qin Canglan so powerful?"

Su Mo asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't you call me grandfather?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "I didn't recognize him."

Su Mo's body trembled and he almost fell from mid-air: "Don't move!"

Su Xiaoxiao took her hand back obediently: "Okay."

Moved again!

Su Mo: “?!”

The advantage of cavalry is speed, but their disadvantage is also quite obvious. For example, they cannot enter narrow places.

Su Mo gave up the street and climbed over the roofs of rows of houses.

"They shouldn't have chased us."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he brought Su Xiaoxiao to a house with closed doors and windows.

He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

This girl has such good physical fitness. If it were someone else, they would have vomited long ago.

Su Mo looked around and said, "They should be guarding the nearby exit. I will lead them away. You go straight forward from the east. Someone will meet you there."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

Su Mo was stunned again.

Are you sure you don't want to be polite? Don't you want to ask "What will you do if I leave?" Although he didn't need this girl to be polite, he really wanted to help her out of trouble.

But this girl's reaction... was really too different.

It was the first time he encountered such straightforwardness, and he couldn't get used to it at once.

Su Mo coughed lightly and said, "Well, be careful. If you get caught, just push it onto me."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Su Mo: “…”

Forget it, it’s better this way, it saves me the trouble.

If you really meet someone who cries and is indecisive, it is more likely that bad things will happen.

He turned and left, but was a step too late.

The cavalry from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion actually took a shortcut and came in!

People came from both sides.

It's impossible to lead them away——

Just when it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable, suddenly, the gate behind the two men opened, and a slender hand like jade grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist and pulled her in!

Su Mo's face changed, and he rushed into the yard with his sword drawn.

clang!

The gate was closed.

In the night, a handsome and tall figure stood beside Su Xiaoxiao, holding her wrist without any hesitation.

Su Mo's eyes suddenly turned cold, he raised his eyes and his gaze fell on that familiar handsome face.

"Weiting?"

Su Mo was shocked.

"Let me go—"

Before he uttered the word "cousin", the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside the door.

The cavalry of the Duke of Protectorate stopped at the door.

Wei Ting looked at the closed courtyard door indifferently, and gently stroked the back of Su Xiaoxiao's hand with his fingertips, like a silent comfort.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked.

Wei Ting let go of her hand and gave Su Mo a look that said "Excuse me, please make way."

Su Mo frowned, moved aside, and put Su Xiaoxiao behind him.

Wei Ting walked out with a swagger, leaving the courtyard door open, just enough to cover the two of them.

The cavalrymen were ready to dismount and rush in, but when they saw Wei Ting, they all stopped.

Wei Ting is the youngest son of the Wei family and has a noble status. Not everyone has the opportunity to see his true appearance.

But by chance, these horsemen had all had the good fortune to see him during the royal hunt.

The leader’s surname is Feng.

Guard Feng didn't know whether to get off the horse or get on it, and just stayed in that position.

After a long time, he finally came down.

Because if he doesn't come down on his own, this gentleman will definitely beat him down.

Wait, didn’t this guy become a monk in the temple?

Guard Feng bowed as if doing a routine job and said, "I didn't know that Lord Wei had returned to the capital. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Wei Ting sneered: "Do you think you are qualified to welcome him?"

Guard Feng: “…”

Wei Ting said sarcastically, "It's the middle of the night, and you're not sleeping, but you come to block my yard. What's going on? Has the Duke of the Guard finally gotten impatient and is planning to assassinate me in the middle of the night?"

Look at the hat! Guard Feng didn't dare to cause trouble for his master, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not, it's just a misunderstanding."

Wei Ting pointed to the cavalry behind him and said, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Guard Feng said, "I am...chasing two assassins."

Wei Ting was shocked: "So you suspect I'm an assassin?"

Guard Feng: “No—”

I do suspect it, but can you please not say that? Wei Ting laughed and said, "So you suspect that I'm harboring an assassin? Sure, just come in and search!"

Having said that, Wei Ting turned around and spoke to the people in the yard in a mocking tone.

Su Mo looked left and right, where was Lai Fu? Su Xiaoxiao pinched Su Mo.

Su Mo reluctantly said, "Yes - I'll go right away -"

"No need for that!" Guard Feng said hurriedly, "We made a mistake!"

Guard Feng left with his men.

A cavalryman asked in confusion: "Brother Feng, are we just going to leave like this? Why don't we go in and search? What if the assassin is really hiding in there?"

He didn't say this without a purpose.

The Wei family is hostile to the Qin and Su families. Maybe the assassin tonight was sent by Wei Ting! "No." Guard Feng said thoughtfully, "Anyone would protect the assassin tonight, but the Wei family would not."

The cavalry of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion walked away.

Wei Ting returned to the yard.

Su Mo drew his sword and swung it towards Wei Ting's neck.

Su Xiaoxiao took a step forward, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and cut off Su Mo's sword! In order not to reveal his identity, Su Mo naturally did not carry his own exclusive sword. He used an ordinary sword bought on the market.

But it was also very hard, and it was actually cut off by this little girl? What's even more surprising is why the little girl would protect Wei Ting so much?

That dagger that can cut through iron like mud...

Su Mo's pupils shrank.

Isn't this General Wei's weapon? Wei Ting actually gave it to this girl?

"You guys..." Su Mo calmed down, "What's your relationship?"

Wei Ting said with a half-smile: "As for the relationship between husband and wife, if you don't believe me, ask her."

Su Mo looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao: Do ​​we count as a couple in name only? Su Mo thought of the information his men disguised as peddlers had found out from the village: "Are you the young master Wei?"

When the peddler said that the girl from the Su family had found a live-in son-in-law named Wei, he never guessed that it was the youngest son of the Wei family.

After all... the youngest son of the Wei family became a monk in the capital, so there was no way he could appear in Qingzhou—

Su Mo looked at Wei Ting in astonishment: "You have not been in the capital...how could you..."

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "What's going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers and said, "Well, he was injured, and my father...took him back and made him my son-in-law!"

Su Mo: “…”

At that time, the Su family didn't know their own life experience, so everything was just a coincidence.

But this coincidence is too good.

Why capture anyone else but the youngest son of the Wei family?

Do you know what the relationship is between the Su and Qin families and the Wei family?

It is no exaggeration to say that the possibility of the Wei family marrying into these two families is lower than the possibility of Princess Wei Tingshang handing over her military power.

Su Mo asked Su Xiaoxiao: "Are you not clear about his identity?"

"Yeah...yeah!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Su Mo glanced at Wei Ting coldly and said to Su Xiaoxiao solemnly: "Well, I will tell you clearly today that his name is Wei Ting, also known as Wei Xichao, and he is the youngest grandson of Wu'an Jun Wei Wei. The Wei family is a mortal enemy of our Su family and the Qin family, so you'd better not have anything to do with him!"

Su Xiaoxiao was silent.

Su Mo didn't have much contact with Su Xiaoxiao, but he could see that this girl had an unconventional personality.

He wasn't sure if his words would sway her.

Or, whether the Qin and Su families are qualified to make her waver.

Just when he thought that this girl would turn a deaf ear to the grudges of the previous generation, he saw Su Xiaoxiao raising her head little by little, with a huge sadness gathering in her eyes.

She hesitantly pulled out a handkerchief with her chubby little hand and flicked it in the air.

In an instant, she seemed like a different person. She covered her heart with the handkerchief and her expression became extremely sad.

She stared at Wei Ting deeply, and was about to cry.

"Even if the mountains are gone and the sky and earth are united, I will never break off my relationship with you."

"You should be like a rock, and I should be like a reed. A rock is immovable, and a reed is as strong as silk."

Wei Ting: "Speak human language."

Su Xiaoxiao turned her face away and cried: "We are not suitable, let's not meet each other in the future!"

Wei Ting: "Give my son back to me."

Su Xiaoxiao turned around in a second and said with a smile: "Husband, let's go home!"

Su Mo: “…”

It's late at night.

On the way back in the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't resist the sleepiness and felt drowsy.

Wei Ting sat beside her, raised his head, gently supported her little head, and let her lean on his shoulder.

His eyes were as cold as ever.

He held her hand, placed it on his leg, and stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, with tenderness hidden between his brows.

Su Mo looked away.

The carriage arrived at Lihua Lane.

Su Ergou was dozing off in the main room while waiting for his sister. When he heard the noise of the carriage, he woke up instantly.

"sister!"

He ran out and opened the gate.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes slightly and got off the carriage in a daze.

Su Ergou looked at Wei Ting who got off the car with Su Xiaoxiao, his eyes lit up: "Brother-in-law?"

"Well, why haven't you slept yet?" Wei Ting stretched out his hand, his eyes looking at Su Ergou, but his hand gently blocked the door frame.

Su Xiaoxiao's forehead brushed against the back of his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the house.

Old Man Su didn't sleep either, he was waiting for his daughter at home.

"Daughter, are you back?"

"Well, I'm sleepy."

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and fell face down on the bed.

Old Man Su went to the door.

"Huh? The son-in-law is back too? What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in?"

He looked at Su Mo who had also gotten off the carriage, "Ah, you...you are that...Mr. Su's son, right?"

"Uncle..." Su Mo opened his mouth and said softly, "Uncle Su."

Su Cheng looked at him, then at Wei Ting: "Do you know each other? Did you come here together?"

The two did not answer for a moment.

This is not a easy answer.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t know him, but if I say that I know him, what if Su Cheng asks about their relationship? Should I say that they killed each other?

Fortunately, Su Cheng was not really interested.

"Well, it's getting late. I won't keep you here any longer. Go back quickly and don't let your family worry."

After Su Cheng said this to Su Mo, he dragged Wei Ting in.

"The buns are heating up in the pot..."

"Go check on Erhu later. He also complained of toothache this afternoon..."

"Ergou's thing broke again. I spent the whole night fixing it..."

"Dad, go to sleep. I'll do it."

"Okay, I'm going to sleep... I'm so sleepy... Remember to turn off the fire on the stove, otherwise the bottom of the pot will burn through..."

"Got it, Dad."

"Ergou, what are you dawdling for? Go back to your room and sleep!" Su Cheng yelled.

"Oh." Su Ergou responded to his father and said to the stunned Su Mo, "Mr. Su, I... will close the door first."

Su Mo nodded.

As he watched the door close in front of him, the conversation with Wei Ting in the carriage flashed through his mind.

"Do you know who she is?"

"Know."

"Then you still——"

"I am happy to do so."

He already knew that the youngest son of the Wei family was unruly and that all the rules and etiquette were bullshit in his eyes.

He just didn't expect that the other party even had family hatred——

Wei Xichao, I hope you can really protect her.

This is the number of words for two updates. Thank you all for your monthly votes. Bow.
