Chapter 94 Wow! What a pretty and fierce girl!
Su Changan looked at Mother Zhang and bowed in return: "Don't worry."
I originally wanted to say that cats are my friends and have saved my life many times. In fact, it is the cats who take care of me.
But looking at Mother Zhang, Su Changan suddenly felt that there was no need to say all this, because this woman, who had a sharp tongue but was doing the best things in the world, only wanted an answer from him.
Mother Zhang smiled.
The smile on that somewhat rough face in the moonlight was quite pretty.
At least that's what Su Changan and Yan Ruyu thought.
…
The moonlight was hazy, but there were clouds as thin as cicada wings blocking the moon.
Su Changan and the other two had to leave eventually.
When they left, the sisters looked at Su Changan, each of them seemed to have something to say, but none of them spoke as freely as they did at the dinner table just now. After a long silence, Cuicui said to Su Changan, "Please help take care of the cat for us."
Su Changan looked at the sisters whose faces no longer had any joy, and who only nodded with reluctance.
Then
That's a farewell.
Before leaving, the sisters gave Maomao a lot of things, and Maomao hugged them tightly in his arms.
But the cat didn't cry, and still had its usual expressionless look.
Su Changan decided to give the carriage to Zhang Mama and the others. Although they were traveling with the caravan traveling to and from the capital of the Western Regions, at least they had their own carriage and had to worry less about other people's opinions.
And they were not far away to begin with, so they could just walk back.
At the door.
Mother Zhang kept watching Maomao and the others, just standing there and watching.
Even though the alley was dark, we could only rely on the dim moonlight and the lanterns in Maomao and the others' hands.
Even though I couldn't see the cats and the others clearly, I could only see the light of the lanterns.
Since the sisters couldn't see it anymore, they all ran upstairs to see.
at last.
After it was completely unclear, Mother Zhang turned around, closed the door, and came to the side of the carriage. She did as Su Changan told her before he left, that Maomao had left something for her in the carriage, and gently lifted the curtain.
A letter was placed in the most conspicuous place in the carriage.
Mother Zhang took it out and gently opened it. There was only one sentence written on it.
'Mother, thank you for raising me.'
Mother Zhang was stunned, and a smile appeared on her face again. The tears that she had been holding back suddenly burst out.
Mother Zhang clenched the envelope in her hand, and as she laughed, tears kept rolling down her cheeks. But Mother Zhang still smiled and scolded, "You little bitch, you're doing this to me for the last time!!"
But as she was talking and crying and laughing, Mother Zhang noticed that the letter was crumpled by her, and she immediately smoothed out the wrinkles carefully.
But when she saw the content of the letter, especially the word "mother", Zhang's mother suddenly paused, covered her mouth with her hands, and burst into tears, completely unable to control herself.
And upstairs.
The sisters who originally just wanted to go upstairs and look at the cats through the window
I was already crying uncontrollably.
Because when they went upstairs, they found that their beds were made very cleanly.
And there was a package and a letter on each person's bed.
At that moment, everyone was holding their letters and sobbing.
"Sister Cuicui, scholars are bad, they are all liars, but scholars who can make you laugh are probably good people."
"Sister Jingman, this is the prescription I prepared for you. When you get to Dunhuang, remember to take it. It's not expensive. Don't think about saving money. Your health is important."
…
"Sister Tingting, you look very pretty when you smile, so smile more and you will find your ideal partner."
'Sister He Ye, my friend told me when she was sick, cry when you feel sad, and rest when you feel tired, so cry more and rest more, we are all here, don't suppress your sadness in your heart.'
A yard usually filled with laughter.
That night, there was only crying.
…
The moonlight was hazy. Su Changan and the other two were walking in the alley, and no one spoke.
Yan Ruyu actually wanted to say something to comfort Maomao, but she didn't know what to say, because she had no friends since she was a child and didn't know how to comfort others.
Su Changan knows how to comfort people.
But he felt the best comfort now was to say nothing.
"Su Changan."
Maomao suddenly broke the silence at this time.
Su Changan turned around and looked at Maomao.
Maomao lowered her head, holding the things her sisters gave her in her arms.
Then, I heard Maomao ask, "Why do people shed tears?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's complicated, but mostly because of sadness."
Then
Maomao raised her head and looked at Su Changan: "Then why don't I feel sad and tears are flowing down my face."
Under the dim light of the lantern, the cat had a blank expression on its face, but two lines of tears were clearly visible under its big eyes.
Su Changan was silent for a moment, then walked forward and hugged Mao Mao: "Because of the separation from my family."
Maomao did not resist Su Changan, but held Su Changan's clothes tightly with one hand. After hearing this.
Finally I couldn't help crying.
Su Changan remained silent, looking down at the cat, but felt somewhat relieved, after all.
Just cry it out.
Yan Ruyu watched from the side without saying anything, but thought of what Su Changan had said to her about cats.
A little person, a little sorrow, and then he will grow up.
…
Su Changan didn't pay much attention to how long the cat cried.
But when Maomao stopped crying and left his arms, Su Changan looked at his clothes covered with Maomao's tears and snot, and he wanted to say something.
But seeing the cat glaring at him, he decided to let it go, so he said to himself, "I forgive you this time, little cat!"
The thin clouds that had been blocking the moon had gone away, and under the bright moonlight, the originally dim Anpingfang became somewhat visible.
Su Changan and the other two were walking in the alley. Although the Red Street in the distance was bustling with lights, wine, women, singing and dancing, Anpingfang was still quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs coming from some unknown yard.
Maomao had already wiped away his snot and tears, but after thinking it over again, he said, "Don't tell anyone."
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I won't tell anyone that you never hit a cat when you were a kid."
Upon hearing this, Maomao raised her eyes and glared at Su Changan.
Su Changan smiled and said, "If I don't tell you, am I that kind of person? Yan Ruyu is definitely not that kind of person. But... Actually, you can go to Dunhuang in the future. I don't think it's possible. After all, it's quite troublesome to sit in that seat. But Yan Ruyu can go with you."
The cat said, "To protect you."
Su Changan said: "When I reach the eighth level, I won't need protection anymore."
Maomao rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Listen to your own crazy talk now."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Maomao: "Little cat, Yan Ruyu said I can reach the ninth rank!"
Maomao looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "When did you learn to lie?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Su Changan pursed his lips and looked at the cat.
How to say it.
Suddenly I missed the crying cat just now.
Yan Ruyu had thought of the right words by this time, but when she opened her mouth, her expression was stunned.
At the same time, Su Changan was also inexplicably stunned and subconsciously looked to the side.
The knife hanging on Yan Ruyu's waist was taken away by Yan Ruyu directly without being unsheathed the moment she raised her hand.
Then, as he turned around, he used the knife in his hand to cut off the crossbow arrow that was shot from the darkness!
Bang!
The broken arrow fell to the ground.
Su Changan protected the cat behind him and put his hand on the handle of the "Xiangsizi" knife which he usually hid under his clothes.
And this moment!
Several more arrows and crossbows rushed towards Su Changan from the darkness.
Yan Ruyu drew the knife from his sheath and cut off all the crossbow arrows with one blow. At the same time, the knife changed shape and slashed into the darkness.
The courtyard wall that was hit collapsed in an instant, and then a muffled groan was heard.
Yan Ruyu held the knife in her hand and no longer looked at the direction of the knife slash, but looked to the other side: "Two fifth-grade, three sixth-grade, two sixth-grade just died. But there are still people around."
Su Changan heard this and looked around. He could feel the murderous aura.
"!"
But at this moment, the sound of cold light was clear, Su Changan heard it clearly, and pulled Maomao aside.
Suddenly, a long spear pierced through the earth wall beside them and stabbed towards him.
At the same time, several crossbow arrows were shot towards Yan Ruyu in front.
When Yan Ruyu raised her sword and swung it, several masked men in black rushed out of the darkness, each holding a knife, and slashed towards Su Changan.
Yan Ruyu turned sideways, raised the blade in her hand, and slashed down!
The arms of several men in black were cut off!
Screams were heard.
Su Changan dodged in time, but when he looked at the gun, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the gun.
He didn't use much strength, but while he was grabbing the gun, the man on the other end couldn't retract the spear no matter how hard he tried.
"Who are you? How dare you commit murder and injury here! Don't panic, girl, Lian Qiao is here!"
At this moment, a sword flashed under the moon, followed by several screams.
Immediately afterwards, a young man appeared next to Su Changan and the others.
When the young man saw Su Changan, he took a deep breath, what a beautiful girl!
When this young man stood in front of Su Changan.
Su Changan, on the other hand, had already used the [Yiweiting] technique secretly, grabbing the spear in his hand and exerting force suddenly.
Bang!!
Not only did he pull the person on the other side of the earth wall over, but Su Changan also overturned the earth wall.
The young man gasped again, wow! What a pretty and lively girl!
at the same time
The screams and the sounds of blades colliding around suddenly increased!
But in an instant!
All sounds faded away.
Swish!!
A dozen people appeared and respectfully clasped their fists towards Su Changan and Yan Ruyu: "We didn't even notice the assassin! Please forgive us!"
Yan Ruyu looked at these people: "Is everything resolved?"
The masked woman in the lead clasped her fists and said, "A total of 24 people, 13 of them are still alive."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything but just said, "Back off."
These people withdrew immediately.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and said, "It's my fault."
Su Changan shook his head: "I'm always careless, and these people have obviously been lying in ambush here for a long time, and they obviously avoided the search and clearance."
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, but still felt a little guilty.
Because I was only thinking about the cat, I became a little careless.
Su Changan saw this and said helplessly: "Xiaoyanzi, I'm used to being assassinated. Why are you blaming yourself? And do you know when the assassin will appear?"
Yan Ruyu still frowned when she heard this, but she looked down at the assassin lying on the ground, who was knocked unconscious by Su Changan's great strength.
Yan Ruyu frowned.
Su Changan was too lazy to persuade Yan Ruyu to be more open-minded. He lowered his head to look at the assassin under his feet, then looked at the earth wall. Well, practicing swordsmanship is useful! I am stronger.
Then seeing that the cat was fine, Su Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man was a little confused. He pursed his lips and looked at Su Changan and Yan Ruyu. What should he say?
The young man felt that he had failed to act as a hero and save the damsel in distress, but instead seemed to have gotten himself into some trouble.
The young man pursed his lips.
But he hasn't spoken yet.
Yan Ruyu looked at the young man and said, "Lianqiao from Tianzhige, right?"
The young man was stunned, and suddenly remembered that before coming to the capital, his sister Lian Wei told him that if he caused trouble with the court in the capital, he would die outside and not bring trouble to Tianzhige.
So he immediately shook his head: "No, I'm just a swordsman passing by."
As he said this, Lian Qiao clasped his fists towards Su Changan and Yan Ruyu and said, "My name is Qiao Lian. I was passing by here and saw someone committing a crime, so I came to help. Now that I see that the girls are safe, I will take my leave."
Having said that, he clasped his fists again, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But then he turned around.
The young man saw four masked men surrounding him, and when he looked carefully, Wow!
Two are of the seventh rank, and two are of the sixth rank!
Yan Ruyu said, "This is a serious matter. You just happened to be here, so you are also a suspect. Please cooperate. I know your sister Lian Wei, and I won't do anything to you. If you cooperate with our investigation, if you are innocent, we will let you go, but if you resist, I will kill you. Take you back."
As soon as Yan Ruyu finished speaking, the young man immediately said, "No, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a person who just came out of the red-light district. And you know my sister? My sister never said that she was a pimp."
When he said this, the young man narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyu: "Yan Ruyu?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
The young man named Lian Qiao immediately said, "Sister, Sister Yan, this has nothing to do with me. Believe me, I was just passing by!! Believe me, you really believe me! Don't... Um~~~"
Yan Ruyu shook her head helplessly. Just as her mother and Lian Wei, whom she had met several times at that time, had said, Lian Qiao was a little stupid. Not dumb, but stupid.
Lian Qiao wanted to say something, but someone had already put a gag lock on him, making him unable to speak at all.
However, Lian Qiao also knew that she couldn't really resist, because resistance would lead to real trouble.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan: "Let's go back first."
Su Changan nodded, but glanced at Lian Qiao who was tied up and thrown into the carriage: "The seventh-rank Lian Qiao?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "I don't know if it is related to him, but we will know if we check it out. If it is really related, Tianzhi Pavilion will not be able to escape."
Su Changan frowned slightly. How should he say it? He didn't know whether Lian Qiao had anything to do with this matter.
But if it is true as Lian Qiao said, it was just an accidental encounter after drinking.
How unlucky this is!
But suddenly he thought of Maomao's family and looked at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "I will arrange everything."
…
When Xia Fengxiang learned that Su Chang'an had been assassinated, he was looking at the memorial submitted by the Grand Tutor, which was not about the nomination of the candidate for the commander of the imperial guards.
Rather, it is about the chief examiner and deputy examiner during the winter examination, as well as all other relevant officials.
At a glance, one third of them are Taifu's men, and all of them have the most money and are most likely to get the position of being students' disciples.
But after hearing that Su Changan was assassinated.
Xia Fengxiang threw away the letter in his hand and ran towards Lingqi Pavilion.
When he arrived at Lingqi Pavilion, he saw Su Changan sitting in the hall leisurely drinking tea, and immediately frowned.
Su Changan naturally saw Xia Fengxiang, including everyone in the courtyard.
Immediately, Xunxia and others hurried out of the yard.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said with a smile: "Why did you come here suddenly?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then looked at Su Changan carefully. After making sure that everything was fine, he finally held Su Changan's face with both hands and looked at it carefully.
Su Changan's face was held by Xia Fengxiang's hand, so his mouth was pouted: "I'm fine, not hurt at all."
After Xia Fengxiang confirmed that Su Changan was completely fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand and asked, "I heard that you fought with the assassin, right?"
Su Changan nodded: "It counts as fighting, but it doesn't count as fighting, because I just pulled it hard."
Then, Su Changan said: "Let me tell you, I am very powerful now."
Xia Fengxiang was both angry and amused when listening to Su Changan's words.
What makes me angry is that this guy just got stabbed and is still acting so dishonestly.
What's funny is that he can be so naughty, which shows that he is really fine.
But seeing Su Changan like this, Xia Fengxiang cursed: "I was worried about you becoming like this, and yet you're still like this!"
Su Changan smiled and said, "Isn't it okay? And if I don't do this, will I cry?"
Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "Cry!"
Su Changan curled his lips: "Why are you like this?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, but after thinking for a while, he was about to say something caring, but seeing Su Changan like this, he took it back and said, "Drink your tea! I'm leaving."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I was already deciding on Dongke's matter. I came here in a hurry."
Then, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, just tell me directly. Don't hide it, okay?"
Su Changan nodded, but thinking that Xia Fengxiang was about to leave, he immediately said, "Don't you want to kiss me before you leave?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and said, "Kiss you, you big-headed ghost!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
But after turning around and taking only two steps, Xia Fengxiang looked back at Su Changan, walked over again, twisted Su Changan's waist hard, and kissed Su Changan on the side of the face like a dragonfly lightly kissing the water.
Then just leave.
Su Changan rubbed his waist, looked at Xia Fengxiang who was leaving, smiled helplessly, but then sighed.
I get beaten every time I kiss you. How am I going to live my life from now on?
…
Xia Fengxiang walked out of Lingqi Pavilion.
Xuanxia and the others naturally paid their respects in a hurry and returned to the yard.
But Yan Ruyu looked at Xia Fengxiang and immediately clasped his fists: "I am guilty."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Just tell me what happened. It's been so long, you should have figured it out by now."
