because……

It has long since changed beyond all recognition.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, regretting her abruptness.

The other party took advantage of her brief moment of surprise and awkwardly took the hat back and put it on himself again.

"I……"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but at this moment, a carriage stopped not far away. Three little balls slid down and ran towards her.

Da Hu took the lead.

Erhu and Xiaohu followed closely behind.

The man seemed to not want more people to notice his appearance, so he quickly turned his back, raised his left hand, and nervously buttoned his cloak.

The three little ones are getting closer and closer.

He left without looking back.

Su Xiaoxiao still didn't want to let him go so quickly. She had to find out who he was, what he had been through, why his appearance was ruined, and why he helped her again and again. And the kind-hearted person who applied hemostatic powder and held an umbrella for Qin Canglan that night, was he him?

With too many doubts in his mind, Su Xiaoxiao reached out to grab her, but this time he was on guard and did not let Su Xiaoxiao touch his body.

However, Su Xiaoxiao pulled off the string of rusty bells from his waist.

He wanted to get Xiaoling back.

"Mom, what are you doing? Sister Xiyue, hurry up!"

It was the sound of the tiger cub's milk chirping.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt his body stiffen for a moment, and the hand that was trying to grab the bell immediately retracted.

Then he ran away.

"mother!"

The three little ones rushed in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

She bent down and hugged the three little ones.

When she turned her head and looked in the direction the other person had left, there was no trace of him anymore.

But she knew he had been there.

Xiaohu saw the broken sword on the ground and ran over to pick it up.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled the little guy back: "You'll cut your hands. It's dangerous."

"Danger." Xiaohu sat in Su Xiaoxiao's arms and leaned his little head on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder very obediently.

Although I couldn't play with the sword, I was happy to get a hug.

"Why did you get here?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Da Huyao pointed at the carriage and said, "Grandpa Sikong brought us out to play."

Sikong Yun is a few years older than Su Cheng and is of the same generation as Su Cheng, so the three of them also call him grandpa.

Sikong Yun's mouth twitched in the carriage.

Did I say I would take you out to play? I was annoyed by the noise in the Imperial Observatory, so I came out to have some peace and quiet, okay? Sikong Yun was also miserable. He thought he had gotten rid of a few little brats, but when he got into the carriage, he found that the three of them were already sitting in a row in the carriage, and they also brought a little girl with them.

Sikong Yun was about to collapse, okay? Su Xiaoxiao put Xiaohu down and patted the heads of the three people: "Let's go back."

"Um!"

The three of them nodded.

Wei Xiyue ran to the end of the alley holding the jar and looked left and right.

Xiaohu walked over and pulled her sleeve: "Sister Xiyue, let's go back."

Wei Xiyue and Xiaohu walked back, looking back every few steps, as if they were looking for something.

However, after Xu Qing drove away in the carriage, he headed south and parked it near a clinic.

Qin Yanran was shot in the shoulder by Su Xiaoxiao's arrow.

The last time someone threw an arrow with bare hands was by Wei Ting. She never expected that Su Xiaoxiao had such amazing strength and accuracy.

I really don't want to. If Su Xiaoxiao had shot with a bow, would she have shot me through? "Miss, we're at the clinic." Xu Qing lifted the curtain and said to Qin Yanran.

Qin Yanran was in so much pain that her face turned pale: "I can't go to the clinic..."

Xu Qing frowned and said, "You are seriously injured."

Qin Yanran endured the pain and said with cold sweat: "I didn't see Su Daya today... I didn't ask you to assassinate her... I wasn't shot by her..."

Xu Qing: "Miss..."

Qin Yanran said coldly: "If she reports it to the police... the doctor who pulled out the arrow for me... will all be her witnesses..."

Xu Qing said: "Your injury needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise this arm will be useless."

Qin Yanran said with cold sweat: "You have been injured a lot, right? You come and pull out the arrow!"

Xu Qing didn't move.

Qin Yanran was about to faint from the pain. She used up her last bit of strength to glare at Xu Qing: "What are you standing there for... Pull out the arrow!"

A complicated look flashed across Xu Qing's eyes: "...Okay."

Xu Qing is a martial artist and Qin Jiang's bodyguard. Like other people who live on the edge of a knife, he always carries hemostatic powder and wound medicine.

He took out a dagger, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and fed the scabbard to Qin Yanran's mouth: "Bite it."

Qin Yanran bit the scabbard.

Xu Qing looked at her gauze dress which was as thin as a cicada's wing, reached out his hand, and cut it open layer by layer with scissors.

When her snow-white shoulders were completely exposed in front of him, he turned his face away.

Qin Yanran grabbed his wrist tightly.

Xu Qing's eyes moved slightly, he grabbed the arrow, closed his eyes and pulled it out! Qin Yanran fainted from the pain and fell into his arms, blood stained his clothes and burned his chest.

"Dongqi! Daqi! Dongqi! Daqi!"

Xiaohu was having fun beating the gong all the way in the carriage.

That’s right…he took the supervisor’s gong again.

Da Hu and Er Hu swayed to the rhythm, while Wei Xiyue was responsible for applauding the three little ones.

Sikong Yun has been practicing Taoism for so many years, but this is the first time he feels so close to ascension.

Isn't it close? If he is tortured twice more, he will directly ascend to heaven.

His miserable life was given a short-term parole the moment Ling Yun appeared.

Ling Yun hadn't had his apprentice for two days and was feeling extremely proud, so he went out to look at the piano.

On the way, he was wondering whose ghost was making so much noise, so he opened the car window to take a look.

"Master!"

“Master!”

“Master!”

The three little ones' eyes lit up.

Ling Yun: No no no no no——

"Goodbye, mother. Goodbye, Grandpa Sikong. Goodbye, coachman uncle!"

The three little ones stood on the street, waved goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao and her group very obediently, and then pulled Wei Xiyue into Ling Yun's carriage.

Ling Yun, who really wanted to die: ...Why did he come out to show off?

In the carriage.

Sikong Yun asked what happened in the alley: "What happened just now? Did you fight with anyone?"

The carriage was gone, there was a broken knife on the ground, and footprints on the wall...all obvious signs of a fight.

"Yes, that is the case."

She said it calmly.

Seeing that she seemed too lazy to talk more, Sikong Yun didn't ask her any more questions.

Anyway, the one who should suffer the loss is the other party.

"Um..." He hesitated for a moment, then asked about the palace in a normal tone, "I heard that the queen fell ill."

"Someone poisoned me." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Sikong Yun frowned slightly: "Who did it?"

"The White Lotus Sect," Su Xiaoxiao said, "is coming for Princess Jingning."

The White Lotus Sect wanted to shake the fortune of the royal family, so they attacked Princess Jingning.

This fate, which had protected her and the Queen for many years, also paid its price at this moment.

Everything is a double-edged sword, and isn’t fate no exception?

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Princess Jingning's fate is that no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, she will always be protected.

From this point of view, Sikong Yun's plan was very thorough.

However, if a rebel uprising occurs, no matter who wants to be the emperor, the first person to be killed will be Jingning.

After returning to the Imperial Observatory, Su Xiaoxiao went to Qin Canglan's room, where Su Qi, Su Yu and Su Li were all there.

They came to visit Qin Canglan.

Su Xiaoxiao greeted several people.

"Why did you come back so late? Is the Queen's poison very serious?" Qin Canglan asked worriedly.

"No, the queen is fine." Thinking of what happened on the road, Su Xiaoxiao took out the rusty iron bell, "Grandfather, do you recognize this?"

Qin Canglan took it with his right arm and looked at it over and over again: "I don't know it."

"What is that?" Su Li came over. "What's so good about a rusty iron bell? Do you like this? Tell me earlier and I'll let big brother buy you some new ones!"

Second cousin Su Qi said, "This is an iron bell from many years ago. I also wore it when I was a child. It was a little smaller than this one, but I probably threw it away later."

Third cousin Su Yu took the iron bell and shook it: "Your bell is too rusty to ring. Iron bells like this are not popular now. They are all made of copper bells, which are beautiful and durable!"

"Why do you suddenly want to know this?" Qin Canglan asked.

The three little guys focused on the bronze bell itself, but Qin Canglan felt that things were not that simple.

Su Xiaoxiao told the story of her encounter with the mysterious master.

Qin Canglan asked: "Are you saying that someone tried to assassinate you? Are you not injured?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "No one is injured. I will tell you more about the assassination attempt later. I suspect that this expert who secretly helped me twice was also the one who gave you the hemostatic powder last time. Do you really not know him? I always feel that he seems to know us."

Su Xiaoxiao always felt that the person seemed to know them.

Qin Canglan pondered and said, "From what you said, his appearance was destroyed... I really don't have such a master around me. Don't look at the three of them, there is no such master in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Didn't you say last time that you would ask Wei Ting if he recognized the swallowtail dart? What did Wei Ting say?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "He said he didn't know him either."

Qin Canglan frowned strangely: "Could it be that the man is not from the Wei family either?"

Su Yu suddenly grabbed the iron bell and said, "Grandfather, cousin, look, there is a word here!"

At night, heavy rain fell in the capital again.

Pedestrians hurried and looked for places to shelter from the rain.

A man wearing a cape and wrapped in a thick blue cloak walked against the flow of people on the long street wet by the rain, covering his right arm.

Whenever it rained, his wound would hurt severely.

This time, it was particularly intense.

A carriage came in the rain.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Ouch—"

The carriage hit them, knocking the man down into the rain.

Yuchi Xiu hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped the carriage: "I told you to get out of the way! Why are you still bumping into it!"

Never admit that his driving skills are not as good as Fusu's -

He jumped off the carriage, walked over and helped the man up: "Hey, are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary? You're so hot! You're sick!"

Wei Ting slightly lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?"

The man's body froze, and he pushed Yuchi Xiu away and walked away without looking back! "Hey! Why are you leaving? Don't leave! I hit you, I have to pay you! What's going on? Hiss - this man is so strong, he is still so strong even when he is sick. I am the second killer on the killer list, but I was almost pushed to the ground."

Yuchi Xiu held his aching shoulder and said, "Sir, you scared people away!"

Wei Ting asked, "Did I scare him away?"

Yuchi Xiu said: "Yes, as soon as you spoke, he ran away!"

Wei Ting looked ahead suspiciously, but the rain was so heavy that he soon lost sight of anything.

"Forget it, let's go."

Wei Ting lowered the curtain.

It's so strange, my mood suddenly became a little bad.
