All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 45
"The pavilion master misunderstood, Xiaosheng has no master." Chu Yan secretly accumulated strength with his hand hidden in his sleeve, but his face showed panic, "It is true that someone said that he wanted to mend the embroidery picture and brought us here. If you don't believe me , It's better to tie up Xiaosheng, take Xiaosheng as a hostage, and don't hurt Miss Shen..."

He staggered a few steps closer.

"One step closer, and she will die." The pavilion master tightened his hands viciously, and ordered to the subordinates beside him, "Take this scholar down together."

Several subordinates surrounded Chu Yan and shackled him in a few strokes.

"Liulang...cough...you shouldn't have stayed..." Shen Lingxi sobbed, "Don't hurt him, if something happens to him, I will never live alone!"

The two stared at each other, their life and death were in harmony, like a pair of fateful mandarin ducks.

Everyone present was soured by the "love brain" of the two of them at the critical moment of life and death.

Unconsciously, he relaxed his guard against them, and focused more on the movement outside the house.

Shen Lingxi was about to cry, her weak and boneless hands were covering the knuckles of the pavilion master's wrists, trying to break his hands apart, but her strength was too weak, it was like a mayfly shaking a big tree.

The pavilion master didn't pay attention to her struggle at all, and impatiently let out harsh words, "If you move around again, I will kill him first, and then you."

"Pavilion Master, please spare me and Liulang's lives, okay?" Shen Lingxi begged for mercy sadly, "Knowing that the Pavilion Master asked me to repair the embroidery, I specially brought the newly embroidered handkerchief, you see, Is it exactly the same as the handkerchief in your hand?"

As she spoke, she tremblingly raised her unbound hand, and passed up the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

The pavilion master frowned and looked at it, but he hadn't seen the pattern on it clearly——
A fragrant scent of magnolia shook off the veil and rushed into the tip of his nose.

Within a few breaths, he felt a sense of dizziness rushing straight to his forehead.

"Little girl, how dare you poison me, you want to die!"

The pavilion master was already holding Shen Lingxi's throat. Even if he accidentally took the drug, no matter how bad it was, he could try his best to break her neck before fainting.

But how could Shen Lingxi give him this chance.

Her seemingly weak and boneless hand, which had been covering the man's wrist, suddenly turned slightly.

I only heard a crisp joint sound of "click"——
The hand clutched around her neck instantly dropped powerlessly.

"You, you actually know kung fu..."

The pavilion master realized later that he had been fooled, but the feeling of dizziness became more and more severe, and he subconsciously wanted to bite the poison and kill himself.

But Shen Lingxi turned around lightly and pinched his jaw.

There was another "click", and there was a sharp pain in the jaw, and the square embroidered handkerchief in her hand was instantly stuffed into his mouth.

The rich aroma of magnolia fills the mouth.

The pavilion master's pupils dilated.

"Do you still want to die after killing someone? You think beautifully."

He only had time to see Shen Lingxi's smile that didn't reach his eyes, and with a "boom", he passed out on the ground.

The whole incident happened in a snap of fingers, and the few people in the room were dumbfounded.

When they realized that they were about to rush up to save someone, before they could move their feet, Chu Yan removed his arm with a backhand and kicked him to the ground.

"Ah..." The room was filled with screams.

Several people fell to the ground, looking at this seemingly innocent man and woman who only knew you and me, their faces showed horror.

These two are not "love brains", they are definitely killing gods pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!

Embroidered clothes envoys swarmed in from outside and kidnapped the pavilion master and several people on the ground.

Chu Yan strode up to Shen Lingxi, staring at the red marks on her snow-white neck, "Are you injured?"

Shen Lingxi lightly touched the scar with her green fingertips, felt a little pain, and shook her head indifferently, "It will be fine in two days, it's nothing serious."

She urged, "Mr. Lang should go back to the yamen with those embroiderers to make a statement."

Chu Yan's eyes darkened slightly, "The wound still needs to be treated with medicine, I will send the girl back home first."

"No need." Shen Lingxi pointed to the outside, "There are still people waiting for me to do things for them, Mr. Lang can leave first, and when Mu Shaoqing comes later, I will go back with him."

Without waiting for him to say anything else, he hurriedly walked out of the house.

In the past few days, Shen Lingxi is used to pretending to be a ghost in front of the people in Yinyue Pavilion. Even in front of Chu Yan, she is used to mentioning those "invisible" friends.

Originally, Chu Yan was used to it.

If he had seen her like this before, he would have left without hesitation.

But at this moment, hearing the urging in Shen Lingxi's tone, she wished that he would leave quickly, and wait for Mu Huai'an to come...

Chu Yan felt a little displeasure in his heart for no reason.

He simply stepped up and followed her far behind.

Liu Si had already been waiting in the yard, and seeing Shen Lingxi coming out, he hurriedly said to her: "The embroidered clothes envoy hasn't found that secret room yet, that little gentleman is going to be unable to hold on anymore, girl, come with me."

Shen Lingxi followed Liu Si, walked around half of the lotus pond in the dark, and found a downward passage between a rockery.

She lit the torch and walked down the steps, a damp and stench came over her face.

After walking for about a cup of tea, I finally reached the end of the secret path.

A secret room suddenly appeared in front of Shen Lingxi.

The secret room is next to the lotus pond, and it is extremely humid, and the sound of water droplets keeps echoing in the room.

The stone wall is covered with moss, and only a dim oil lamp is burning in the corner.

Shen Lingxi smelled a strong smell of blood.

She stared, and saw a frail figure, dying and curled up in a pool of blood.

It was a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, his clothes were stained with blood, he was holding a bloody dagger tightly in his hand, his skinny arm was exposed, so pale that it was almost transparent.

Beside him, there was a man in black, with a blood hole in his chest that hadn't solidified yet, and he was completely out of breath.

"There was a sudden change outside, and the guard wanted to kill him to silence him, but he stabbed him to death." Liu Si said.

Shen Lingxi's heart sank, and she walked quickly towards the boy.

"Yunwang, Yunwang, wake up."

She knelt down, took the boy into her arms without hesitation, took out the pill from her sleeve, stuffed it into his mouth, and felt his pulse.

Although the pulse condition is weak, but the Yun family has a special constitution, as long as they take the special medicine, they can save their lives.

The young man's face was so thin that he lost his appearance. Although his eyes were closed, he could vaguely see that he had a more delicate and beautiful bone appearance than a woman's.

But within a few breaths, maybe the pill had taken effect, and he weakly opened his eyes.

Clear and shallow black eyes, as clear and transparent as glass, seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He looked at Shen Lingxi's face with dazed eyes, as if he was looking at her or at another person.

"Sister..." He smiled vainly and absent-mindedly, "I finally waited for you to pick me up..."

Shen Lingxi's eyes turned red.

At this moment, Liu Si who was beside him suddenly said: "Girl, that evil god is following..."
