Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 405 Do You Care About Me?

Someone fetched water and twisted the veil to wipe it, but another hand snatched the veil and began to wipe it by itself.

Huo Jiu wiped his hands quickly.

Liu Menglan checked his wound and applied medicine, and the blood on his arm was almost cleaned up, after twisting the veil twice, Liu Menglan had already bandaged him up.

After all this happened, Huo after all never had a word with Liu Menglan.

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, was about to ask him about his progress, and was about to leave, but he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I can't leave yet."

"Huh?" Shen Yan didn't understand what she meant.

He raised his lips amusedly.

On weekdays, I only feel that the world is boring, and there is nothing to be happy about.In addition, there is really nothing to show a smile on the face of military prisoners who commit crimes in the prison all day long.

But every time I see her in a daze, I think it's funny.

"Sit here and wait for me, and go back together when I'm done."

"Then how can I do that?" Shen Yan refused, "Then I will be a night out!"

Shen Xi has never acted recklessly before, how dare she go past her?
"What's wrong with not coming home at night?" Huo Jiu said, "Didn't your sister ask you to inquire about the progress? There must be news later."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Menglan: "You go back first."

Liu Menglan chanted great kindness in her heart, how could she care about Shen Yan?Now run away shamelessly.

Shen Yan subconsciously refused.But seeing his slightly stiff arms resting on the table, he didn't feel his will waver.

Someone like him was also injured, so he didn't know how dangerous it was just now, so he couldn't help asking: "Are those people on the other side very powerful?"

Huo Jiu only looked at her with his beautiful dark eyes: "Are you concerned about me?"

Shen Yan's face became hot, and she retracted her body that had been leaning forward for some time.

What he said really made her ashamed.

Mrs. Ji said that she had looked like a vixen since she was a child. When Mrs. Ji was around, she might have been a bit broken, so she was not afraid of what she said.

But this year, she has followed Shen Xi to control her behavior silently, but he still speculates about her like this. Could it be that she is really cheap in her bones?

For a moment of frustration and embarrassment, he didn't make a sound.

Huo Jiu just confirmed it by lip service, but unexpectedly she was so sensitive, so he began to scrutinize her quietly.

She has a charming appearance, although she is not as charming as Shen Xi, but that charm is natural, but it is not revealed under her usual restraint.

Both of his parents were lost since he was a child, until he met the King of Yan, and then sent him to Wei's house, where Fang and He Lanzhun started a stable and prosperous life together.

He has no hatred and no enemies, he concentrates on his errands, and he has become a cruel official who stands alone in torture.

Apart from official business, life is smooth and boring.

When he saw Shen Yan for the first time, he also felt that she was no different from an ordinary lady, but because of Shen Xi's identity, he lowered his posture to tease her.

It wasn't until later when I saw her soft yet strong side that I was a little impressed.

However, this is nothing, taking her to the fire to roast taro is firstly boring, secondly, it still has two points of teasing, and thirdly, it is curiosity.

But until just now, during a night of mess, when he suddenly saw the slender and weak woman on the shore, he clearly felt a tremor in his heart.

When Yan Wang went to the dinner party on a regular basis, he and He Lanzhun would often bring him along. The tricks in the court of love and moon were novel to him at first, and then he saw them thoroughly.

Occasionally go to a banquet on behalf of the palace, and there are occasional girls who are brave enough to show their hospitality, and many of them are also good-looking, but they always feel that they are not from the same way.

So I thought that even if the person I would pick in the future would not be the kind of person who is outstanding enough to be able to take charge of everything, he must also be a flamboyant general.

This weak rabbit that stretched out its paws from time to time was really beyond his expectation, and jumped into his heart all at once.

"Just treat me as your own brother." He guessed that he had frightened her, so he said, "There is nothing wrong with caring about your own brother."

When Shen Yan thought of her own brother, she felt a little indifferent.

But inexplicably, after hearing his explanation, the embarrassment just disappeared, maybe he didn't mean to be so frivolous.

She also does not want outsiders to think that she is artificial.

Since Liu Menglan had already left, she would stay and wait for news from Xiao Huai and the others, so as to save Shen Xi from turning around and making people run back and forth.

"My lord! There is a situation!"

Just at this time, a guard came under the curtain: "The people on the pier found a group of corpses on the river beach five miles downstream. The number is nineteen, which is exactly the number of escaped assassins who raided earlier!"

Huo Jiu's mind was still on Chen Yan's body just a moment ago, but at this moment his whole body was suddenly condensed, he picked up his long sword and went out!
Shen Yan immediately put aside her wild thoughts and followed.

When Liu Menglan returned to Shen's house, Shen Xi was still in Shen Ruopu's study.

When I went back to Minxiangyuan and heard him say that Huo Jiu left Shen Yan behind, it was a good idea to stay and pay attention. With Huo Jiu by my side, I would not be unable to protect a single Chen Yan.

Thinking there was nothing wrong, she sent Liu Menglan back.

Huo Jiu led people to the place where the body was found, and Yan Qin's people were already guarding the river beach closely.

Shen Yan followed closely behind him.

Returning to this cold and emotionless atmosphere, she no longer has any negative emotions, because in the face of major events, no one will care about you or notice your existence.

"Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it is indeed the same as the corpses left by Mr. Helan and Mr. Helan before." The guard led Huo Zhuo to him.

Huo Jiu squatted down, and with the light of the torch, he rolled up his sleeves and carefully inspected the wounds on the corpse, facial features, hands and feet, and even removed the shoes with his own hands.

Shen Yan saw that his right arm was injured and he was extremely inflexible, and the guards were all rough men, so they didn't notice his inconvenience, so she consciously stepped forward to help pass some things.

He turned his head and glanced at her: "Aren't you afraid?"

She shook her head.

He paused, and took off the long sword that was in the way at his waist and gave it to her: "Help me hold this."

Shen Yan stood up holding his sword obediently.

"The wound was deep and narrow, and he should have died from a sword wound."

He didn't stand up until he searched all the corpses, went to the river to wash his hands, and said when he came back: "From the shape, the murder weapon should be the long sword they are holding.

"And there is not much blood around the wound, it should be washed by water, and the weapons around the body are not complete, so it should be attacked in the water and died."

Speaking of this, he looked at Yan Qin who was on the side: "Master Yan, please send someone to salvage this water area, and check it carefully. If you find the same weapon, please remember to tell me the location."

Yan Qin nodded quickly, and immediately told the sailors with good water skills to go up the river to search.

Huo Jiu looked at the river with a solemn expression, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Until another guard trotted over and said: "The lord has returned to the city! Please return to the mansion after you are done with the work at hand!"

Only then did he turn his head to look at the person who came, and then at Shen Yan who was standing behind him with his sword in his arms, and said, "Let's go."
