Chapter 58
Without turning her head, Ning Ning said coldly, "What's your name, what does it have to do with me?" Lu Jian was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to feel ashamed, and she kept her head depressed and said nothing.

Ning Ning stared at the candle, sat for a while, took out a handkerchief, wiped off the dust on the table, and fell asleep with her hands on her cheeks.After a while, she seemed to be falling asleep, her breathing became light and evenly long, and the candlelight outlined half of her face in the dark.The collar faded slightly, revealing half of the neck. It was white and delicate, like a jade carved from ivory. The orange light was slightly dyed, with an indescribable gentle charm.

Lu Jian looked at the woman sleeping, feeling peaceful and peaceful in his heart. Suddenly, the candle flickered, but the evening wind broke through the door. Afraid that Ning Ning would catch a cold, Lu Jian moved slightly to block the wind.If the girl felt something in her sleep, she frowns slightly, making her even more pitiful.

With a sound of "咻", a white feather arrow broke through the door and went straight to Lu Jian's door.Lu Jian was taken aback, and before he could dodge, the feathered arrow shattered in the air with a "wave", and the fragments turned into sparks.

Lu Jian turned his eyes to look, Ning Ning was standing beside the table, her eyes were staring at the door, she was dazed, bright as cold stars.

With a "hee" outside the door, Shen Xiu said with a smile: "Good Ning'er, when did you fail to learn? Pretending to be sleeping and lying to me, are you?" Hit the sword." Shen Xiu laughed twice, and her tone turned soft: "Ning'er, the more you look like this, the more pain I feel in my heart. You are such a clear girl, just picking flowers for hairpins and fighting weeds in the vestibule, why bother?" Seriously, not only let down the good times, but also hurt the hearts of men all over the world."

Ning Ning listened silently, her eyes gradually softened, she sat down slowly, and sighed softly: "Go away, don't talk sweetly here, I don't like to hear it." Shen Xiu said quietly: "Forget it, I won't talk anymore. Good sister , can you let me sit with you for a while, and take a look at your appearance, even...even if you don't say a word. "

"No." Ning Ning said coldly, "You have countless good sisters and good sisters, you can look at them one by one. If you step into the door and come in with your left foot, I will hurt your left foot and right foot." Come in with your foot, I'll hurt your right foot."

"What a cruel heart." Shen Xiu said with a grin, "But I understand that you hate me so much, not for anything else, but because you are jealous?" Ning Ning said: "Bah, who is jealous of you?" ? Even if you find a thousand 1 women, I don't care."

Shen Xiudao: "No matter how many women there are, they are nothing more than morning clouds and evening rains, falling flowers and flowing water. How can they compare to our childhood sweethearts?"

After hearing this, Ning Ning fell silent.Lu Jian looked at her expression, seemed to be moved by Shen Xiu's words, couldn't help feeling anxious, and blurted out: "Miss Ning, don't believe his rhetoric, he is simply a villain."

Ning Ning didn't even look at him, and said coldly, "Whether I believe it or not, whether he is good or bad, has nothing to do with you?" Lu Jian couldn't help being speechless, but she heard Shen Xiu clapping her hands and laughing: "Well said, this I really hate you, meddling in your own business when you're about to die." After a pause, he said, "Ning'er, I'm here..." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable snort, and Shen Xiu said angrily, "Ning'er, You...you hurt me with the 'sword in the pupil'?"

Lu Jian was surprised and delighted, and when he looked around, Ning Ningxiu's eyes were wide open, her blue pupils fluttered in the candlelight, her vermilion lips parted slightly, and she said slowly, "Didn't I say it before? If you dare to enter, I will treat you You're welcome."

Shen Xiu said bitterly: "What a cruel girl." Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps in the distance, Shen Xiu snorted softly, as if she was going to the distance.

Ning Ning let out a breath, closed her eyes, and showed a trace of weariness on her face.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and suddenly a little girl picked up a wind lantern and led Shang Qingying in. When Shang Qingying saw Ning Ning, she asked in surprise, "Ning'er, did Zhou Xu ask you to take care of him?"

Ning Ning stood up and nodded, Shang Qingying hugged her into his arms, and sighed: "This Zhouxu, I really don't know anything, how can a girl come to guard the prisoner in the middle of the night?" She stroked Ning Ning There was a trace of affection between the cheeks and brows.Ning Ning blushed, and said softly: "Ma'am, there are outsiders here, don't make him laugh."

Shang Qingying glanced at Lu Jian and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? You are not my daughter, but you are no different from a daughter. If a mother loves her daughter, will someone make fun of her?" Ning Ning lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, Shang Qing Ying stared at her for a while, then sighed: "I really want you to stay by my side forever." Ning Ning nodded and said: "I also want to serve Madam all my life."

"Really?" Shang Qingying smiled, "Have you thought about what I told you last time?" Ning Ning's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "What's the matter?" Shang Qingying said with a smile: "Why are you ashamed? You don't remember? Let me remind you, it's...the marriage between you and Xiu'er..."

Ning Ning lowered her head, and said softly: "I am a robber, and he is a young master. How can a master and a slave marry?" Shang Qingying said: "Master and slave intermarriage, there is no precedent in the West City. You If you match with Xiu'er, you will be able to accompany me forever!"

Lu Jian's heart was beating wildly when he heard that, thinking about Shen Xiu's nature, if he married him, it would definitely ruin the girl's life.Just as he was about to speak out to stop him, he felt that this was someone else's family business, how could he judge rashly as a prisoner of his own rank?He hesitated to speak for a while, very angry and bored.

Suddenly I heard Ning Ning say: "Madam, forgive me, Ning Ning is already a slave, but a person condemned by God, how can she implicate the young master again? Ning'er is willing to be alone for the rest of her life and never marry..." Shang Qingying hurriedly covered her head She shut her mouth, her eyes turned red, and said sadly: "Don't say that, if you don't marry, wouldn't Zhou Xu's crime be even greater? He was so mad back then that he turned you into a slave, which is already a serious crime, but If it kills you for the rest of your life, I...I..." At this point, tears were already falling like rain.

Ning Ning smiled sadly, and sighed: "It's not too late to discuss this matter, madam, what's the matter with you coming late at night?" Shang Qingying stopped crying and said: "If you don't say it, I will forget it. I think it's good to let the child go."

Lu Jian was taken aback, and Ning Ning also wondered: "Does the master know?" Shang Qingying shook her head and said, "He is already asleep, you let him go first, and Zhouxu asked, I will take care of everything." Ning Ning slightly After hesitating, he took out the key and unlocked Lu Jian's iron lock.

This matter was too sudden, although Lu Jian's shackles were released, he stood there in a daze.Shang Qingying sighed: "You child, you don't look like a villain, so why do you act willfully and bully Xiu'er? After this time, I hope you will be a good person and don't be brave!"

Lu Jian couldn't laugh or cry, stood up and bowed, speechless.Shang Qingying said again: "Ning'er, I'm sorry to bother you to send him out of the house." Ning Ning hummed, nodded at Lu Jian and said, "Follow me." Qing Ying stood at the door, his description was vague, for some reason, he felt sore in his heart, he just wanted to stand there and look at this woman a few more times.But this situation does not allow his wish to be fulfilled, so he just sighed and followed Ning Ning.

The two walked for a while and came to the back door of the mansion. Ning Ning took the waist badge and said to the guard: "I am Mr. Shen's subordinate. I am going out on business." The guard checked the badge and let them go out.

There is a long alley behind the house. Ning Ning sent Lu Jian to the entrance of the alley and said, "Go, the farther you go, the better, otherwise, if Madam saves you once, she won't be able to save you a second time." After saying that, she turned around and turned around. went.

Lu Jian wanted to thank her, but when he saw that she was arrogant and felt ashamed, he hoped that her back would disappear, so he cheered up.After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a slight sound from the top of his head. He shrank under the eaves and looked up. A black shadow flew past the wall of the Governor's Mansion, and flew to the ground. Only cloth bags.

Lu Jian was secretly startled: "Who is so bold to steal in the governor's mansion?" He was both indignant and curious, and couldn't help showing his figure to follow behind.The man in black turned around two alleyways, seeing that there was no one around, he put down the cloth bag and untied the rope.A person came out of the cloth bag, Lu Jian saw it from a distance, and was not surprised, that person was Xu Hai's military advisor, Chen Zidan.

Chen Zidan poked his head out, cupped his hands and said, "Who is this, why did you rescue Chen?" The man in black smiled and pulled off his mask.Lu Jian and Chen Zidan were shocked. The masked man was none other than Shen Xiu.Chen Zidan was particularly astonished, and lost his voice: "Why are you?"

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Zidan has suffered." Chen Zidan's expression changed, and he said coldly, "What trick do you have?" Pass it on to the Lord."

Chen Zidan said coldly: "What's the news? Mr. Chen doesn't care about it." Shen Xiu smiled and said, "In the early morning of tomorrow, Hu Zongxian will personally raise troops out of the city to go to Shenzhuang to destroy the Commander Xu Hai. You don't care about this news?"

Lu Jian was shocked. Although he knew that Shen Xiu was frivolous and innocent, he didn't expect that this person would disregard righteousness and sell out important military plans. He was angry in his heart, wishing to go forward immediately, but he calmed down again in a flash, determined to listen to what the two had to say .

Chen Zidan seemed to be surprised, and frowned, "How can you tell me to believe you?" Shen Xiu smiled and said, "This news is not for nothing, I'll sell you 10 taels of silver." Chen Zidan looked at him, cold light flickering in his one eye , Fang said for a long time: "How do I know if this news is true or not?"

Shen Xiu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it." Turning around and leaving, Chen Zidan shouted, "Wait a minute!" Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Of course I know, but if you want me to tell you, you have to see the money first." Chen Zidan said: "You give me the marching route, and I will give you the money. It's just that 10 taels is too much."

"Is 10 taels too much?" Shen Xiu sneered, "When you get this news, you can set up an ambush on the marching road and get rid of Hu Zongxian in one fell swoop. As long as this person dies, who will be the opponent of the Lord Ling when you look at the south of the Yangtze River?" ? When you break through several big cities in one go, let alone 10 taels of silver, you can easily earn back 100 taels!"

Chen Zidan shook his head and said: "Chen doesn't understand, you are so good-looking, why did you betray Hu Zongxian?" Shen Xiu smiled and said, "You still don't know me? If there is enough money, even the emperor's father and his own parents, I will do the same." It's a good sell."

Chen Zidan was suspicious, and asked for a while, "Why did you catch me and hurt me?" Shen Xiu smiled and said, "If you don't use this kind of cruel trick, how could you have tricked Hu Zongxian into going out in person?" Chen Zidan seemed to be in a state of confusion. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, give me three hours to raise money. After three hours, we will meet again in Yanziji. You bring the marching map, and everyone will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Shen Xiu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Brother Zidan is refreshing." Then he said, "I have to go back early, there is a prisoner lost in the prison, if I am not in the mansion, the family Yan will definitely suspect me." After saying that, she covered her face and flew away Go to the room and step on the tiles.

Chen Zidan looked around, and suddenly walked away.Lu Jian thought to himself: "At midnight, the gates of the city are closed. Where can he get the money? Could it be that there is his lair in the city?" Thinking of this, he jumped up to follow, only to see Chen Zidan turn around in three steps, zigzag away After a journey, he stopped in front of a rich door. He lightened and pressed the buckle ten times, and the rich door opened. Someone whispered, "Mr. Chen?"

Chen Zidan nodded and stepped inside.Lu Jian looked up and saw a lacquered silver plaque on the Zhumen, with the word "Luo Zhai" vaguely written on it.Lu Jian measured the height of the wall, performed the hemp jumping technique, leaped onto the stone lion in front of the door, and jumped again until he reached the top of the wall.He hurried along the ridge of the roof, and saw that Chen Zidan was led by a servant with a lamp, hurried around the screen wall, and came to a hall where three people sat upright with torches burning.

Chen Zi knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "My lord." Lu Jianlei was startled, and fixed his eyes to see a man with a tall nose and a long face, with a thick beard and hair, wearing a crown of flying fish and eight treasures, and a white satin suit Wenlong embroidered gold robe, five-foot Japanese sword radiating brilliance, placed across his knees, frowned and said: "Why are you here? Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Chen Zidan said bitterly: "It was broken by Shen Xiu's little bastard, and he was locked in the governor's mansion." The white-robed man was taken aback, raised his knife and said angrily: "You were arrested? How did you escape? ?" Chen Zidan said with a wry smile, "That little bastard Shen Xiu let it out."

The white-robed man's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "This is strange, could it be that he was playing hard to get?" Chen Zidan said: "I have paid attention, there is no one following me, and I didn't want to meet the master at first, but the military situation is urgent, so I have to Come."

The white-robed man snorted, relieved a little, and said, "What is the military situation?" Chen Zidan said, "Hu Zongxian has made a plan, and decided to personally raise troops to attack Shenzhuang in the early morning of tomorrow."

The white-robed man's eyes flashed, and he giggled and said, "Really? That would be great. Where did you get the news?" Chen Zidan said, "That little bastard surnamed Shen is greedy and wants to make a fortune with me. For a transaction, the price was 10 taels, and Hu Zongxian's marching route was sold. Hmph, but he never expected that the master is in Nanjing."

The white-robed man clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I asked you to contribute to the false surrender, just to be arrogant and arrogant, so that Hu Zongxian thought that I, Xu Hai, would just stick to the stronghold and sit and wait for death, and then lead the army out of the city to encircle Shenzhuang Zhapu. Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu has sneaked into the city of Nanjing, and when the soldiers and horses are dispatched and the city is empty, we will set fire on all sides and wash the city with blood. Even if Hu Zongxian does not die by then, this crime of losing Nanjing will be enough to make him lose his head." The words are all laughing wildly.

Xu Hai turned to another person: "Huo Lao Liu, have you set up an ambush with Wang Lao's troops outside the city?" Outside, kill all the defenders, open the city gate, and bring Wang Lao's troops into the city, join forces inside and outside, and burn them to your heart's content." Huo Lao Liu grinned grimly, and responded loudly.Lu Jian's heart beat like thunder: "It's so dangerous, if I didn't know it accidentally, why would I keep sending the people of this city away?"

Xu Hai said again: "Zidan, you were originally the death room I released. I thought you would die because of this. I never thought that you would come back alive. It can be seen that God is favored and cannot bear to separate you and my brother." Chen Zidan Weeping and worshiping: "The lord has given me a kindness that is as great as a mountain, and the subordinates can only repay it with death."

Xu Hai sighed, and said softly: "You must have suffered a lot this day and night, Xu will remember all of it in his heart, and when the city is destroyed, I will definitely capture the Shen family and his son and avenge you. It's just that Shen Xiu still needs you to go there, buy the marching map with silver first, and satisfy his greed, lest this person get suspicious and cause me to fail."

Chen Zidan said: "This is a matter of duty." Xu Hai nodded and said: "This time you bring a few good men, if necessary, you can kill that Shen..."

When Lu Jian heard this, there was a warning sign, a gust of wind came from behind, and there was a fishy, ​​sweet and rancid smell in the gust.He couldn't dodge in time, so he shrunk his body like a bird's egg into a 'mother bird', and passed the vital point, but was hit on the shoulder blade by that palm.Although a lot of palm strength was removed in a disguised form, Lu Jian still felt extremely painful, and suddenly changed into a "spiritual fish appearance", rolling out of the roof tiles for more than ten feet, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

The person who came couldn't kill him with a slap, he let out a cry, and another slap came, like thunder and lightning.Lu Jian turned over and raised his hand, facing upwards, the two palms intersected, the rancid smell in his nose became thicker, the opponent's palm was as strong as a mountain, and his bones were crushed, there was a loud noise under his feet, the roof tiles shattered, and he fell involuntarily go down.

Lu Jian didn't expect Xu Hai to have such a master. Since he practiced the sixteenth aspect, he has never been inferior in palm strength.He was in mid-air, with the wind blowing above his head, the man also sank down and chased after him, and shot him down in the air.Lu Jian didn't dare to take it forcefully, his left hand changed into a "hydra", bypassing the man's palm and wrapping around his wrist.

The man snorted, retracted his right palm, and struck out with his left palm.Lu Jian wanted to raise his right palm to disassemble it, but suddenly felt that his right arm was paralyzed, and he didn't listen to his commands. He shrank back in a hurry, so that the "Da Zizi Xiang" turned out close to the ground, and before the person fell to the ground, he turned over and stood up, shouting The left palm makes a "shouzhe phase" suddenly change into a "monkey king phase".That man was also an expert, and when he saw Lu Jian's momentum, he turned around and floated away a few feet before he was about to fight back. Unexpectedly, Lu Jian changed from "monkey king" to "half-lion" with one punch, and there was a loud bang, and the wall hit The hand collapsed, revealing a hole.

The man didn't expect that Lu Jian's palm was false, but he intended to break through the wall with his fist. When he realized that Lu Jian had already crawled out of the wall, he ran wildly.While running, Lu Jian only felt the numbness in his right shoulder gradually spread, and spread to half of his body in a short while. He opened his mouth to breathe out, but then felt his tongue was stiff, and he didn't know how far he had run.
