Zuo Xiangning returned to the small courtyard and sat next to the man.

"Didn't you come back from picking some apricots and cherries?" The man saw her hands empty and said with a smile, "Chuzhou's cherries are the most famous. You'd better eat more while you're living here."

"This courtyard occupies a very large area, but you made me mistakenly think it was a small courtyard." Zuo Xiangning squinted her eyes and said slowly: "There are many servants in the house, but you told me that there are only Mr. and Mrs. Liu, why did you deliberately lie to me like this?"

"Why do you always hold on to this problem?" The man was also puzzled. "I don't restrict your freedom now, and I don't abuse you. Can't you just stay here? Why do you always have to Ask some yes or no questions?”

"Because I don't belong here, I have my own things to do." Zuo Xiangning said stiffly: "I don't like someone forcing me to do things I don't like."

The man sliced ​​a piece of mutton and asked, "Did I force you?"

"Although you didn't force me, staying here is not what I want." Zuo Xiangning sighed and said calmly: "Let me go."

The knuckles of the man's hand holding the knife turned slightly white.

"Bingyu is the person I trust most, and you can't make her betray me overnight." Zuo Xiangning said: "I think you have known each other for a long time, and you may not have known her for a long time. Not from Qingquan Temple..."

The man's eyes were shining, waiting for her to continue.

"Do you want to take me to Yangzhou next?" Zuo Xiangning guessed: "Do you want something from me, or are you one of the four rudders?"

"You were right a little bit." The masked man poured her a cup of tea.

Zuo Xiangning's heart tightened slightly. No matter what this little point refers to, it is all related to the Wufu Hall left by Ling Xiao.

Although she doesn't want Ling Xiao's things, she must not fall into the wrong hands.

"Why don't you continue guessing?" The man asked encouragingly: "What else did you guess?"

"I can't guess." Zuo Xiangning stopped looking at him and asked, "Are you still going to take me out?"

"If you want to go out, I will take you out." The man said, "Shall I take you to the theater tonight?"

"I want to go out during the day." Zuo Xiangning said, "The alley I came back to is too dark, making it scary to walk at night."

"Then let's go tomorrow." The man nodded and agreed.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning followed the man out of the small door and went to the street.

Zuo Xiangning looked around and didn't buy anything, but she always picked a crowded place.

In the afternoon, the two returned to the small courtyard. Zuo Xiangning ate two bowls of rice, then went back to the room and lay on the bed to sleep.

The masked man felt strange outside, what was going on with her?

He arrived at the outer courtyard and told those who were looking for the night to be careful.

In the middle of the night, Zuo Xiangning suddenly heard the noisy sound of swords clashing outside the courtyard.

She got up from the bed, put on her clothes, walked outside, looked at the empty Arhat bed, ran to the door, opened the door a crack and looked out.

There was no one in the yard, and the sound came from outside the west wall.

Zuo Xiangning quietly opened the door and walked outside the wall. Just as she was thinking about how to climb up the wall to take a look, she saw a white figure flying over from the other side of the wall.

Zuo Xiangning was startled and took a few steps back.

"Xiang Ning?" The white figure was full of surprise when he saw her.

"Bai Fengyu?" Zuo Xiangning stepped forward excitedly and pulled his sleeve, "Why are you here?"

"You come with me first." Bai Fengyu said, "I'll explain it to you in detail when we get out." "Okay." Zuo Xiangning nodded.

Bai Fengyu put his arms around her slender waist. Just as he was about to jump over the courtyard wall, he saw a black figure blocking the two of them.

"Let her go!" The man's voice was like a thousand years of ice.

Zuo Xiangning saw the masked man suddenly appearing and hid behind Bai Fengyu.

Seeing this little move of hers, the masked man immediately exuded an aura of overwhelming rage, "Now come here obediently, and I can spare his life!"

Bai Fengyu stood in front of Zuo Xiangning and sneered: "Even if I die, I can't let her go again!"

"Okay, since you want to die, then I will help you!" The masked man said and raised his sword to stab Bai Fengyu.

Bai Fengyu raised his sword and faced him.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the two people fighting together in an instant, and nervously clutched her skirt.

The two fought evenly for half an hour. Bai Fengyu gradually couldn't resist. He was forced into a corner by the masked man's sword. He stumbled on a stone and fell to the ground. The masked man's sword pierced him. On his arm, the moment the sword was drawn out, a string of blood beads came out.

"Stop!" Zuo Xiangning ran towards them. When the masked man's sword stabbed Bai Fengyu again, Zuo Xiangning stretched out her arms to block Bai Fengyu.

The masked man's sword couldn't be retracted in time and stabbed Zuo Xiangning on the side of her chest, causing coral beads to scatter on the floor.

The masked man's sword stopped there, not daring to move. When he saw that there was no blood seeping out from where it was stabbed, he took back the sword and said angrily: "Everyone outside has been caught. As long as you stay, I will let you go." All of them leave. Otherwise, none of them will leave alive!"

Bai Fengyu stood up and put Zuo Xiangning back behind him, "Unless I die today, otherwise, I will definitely take her away!"

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly broke away from his hand, stood in front of him, and said urgently to the masked man: "Let them go, I won't go anywhere, I will just stay here."

"Come here!" The masked man looked at the two people standing close to each other and squeezed out two words through his teeth.

As soon as Zuo Xiangning took a step forward, she was pulled back by Bai Fengyu behind her, "Xiang Ning..."

"I'm sorry." Zuo Xiangning said guiltily, "You should leave quickly."

"I must take you away..." Bai Fengyu stood in front of Zuo Xiangning again.

"Don't worry, I'm safe here. He won't hurt me." Zuo Xiangning smiled comfortingly at Bai Fengyu, "Just go, I'll be fine."

"Ha," the man opposite was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. They were so affectionate, who were they doing it for?

"I think you are all tired of living!"

The man raised his sword towards Bai Fengyu again. Zuo Xiangning hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "Let them go!"

The man looked at the woman's little face and almost broke his molar teeth.

"Let's go!" Zuo Xiangning looked at Bai Fengyu and shouted anxiously: "Do you really want all your people to die here?"

Bai Fengyu was surprised and happy when he learned that Zuo Xiangning had appeared here today. He rushed over with his men before he could find out.

He thought that bringing twenty people here would be enough, but he didn't expect that the small courtyard was so big and contained so many masters.

"Let them go." The masked man said.

He said loudly to the other end of the courtyard wall, and then said to Bai Fengyu: "You can also choose not to leave! But you and the people you brought have to stay here for me!"
