Leng Aotian laughed dryly and said: "Hehe, I mean this is the first time for me to walk like this when I am so old. I usually do carriages or ride horses, this is really the first time for me to walk the mountain road."

The man turned his head to look at Leng Aotian, and made fun of him: "Sure enough, it's the young master. If we ordinary people, how can we hail a carriage all day long?"

Leng Aotian smiled guilty again.

The two walked for a quarter of an hour and finally saw people.The man pointed to the third room ahead and said, "Neng, did you see that? That room is it. I'll take you here, and then you can find her yourself."

"Mmm, okay. Let's leave now." Leng Aotian cupped his hands and said.Turn around and pull your legs to leave.

"Wait!" The man grabbed his sleeve and said, "I haven't given you the money you promised!"

Leng Aotian was so embarrassed that he tapped his head with his fan.A dry smile appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, brother, I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I forgot about it."

The man took the two taels of money handed over by Leng Aotian and left contentedly.

Leng Aotian shook his head at the man's back and said with emotion: "It's really a moral decline in the world! Now you have to pay for giving directions. This brother is really fussy."

Shaking his head, he walked towards the house.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Leng Aotian yelled at the wide-open chaimen.

"Here we come. Who is it!" A female voice sounded in the room.After a while, a woman in plain clothes came out of the courtyard.

It is indeed a well-behaved face.Leng Aotian secretly said in his heart.

I saw that although there was no rouge and gouache on the face of the other party, this face was still white and clean, with a small head and crescent eyebrows, a beautiful nose and plump lips, even if she was only wearing the simplest clothes, the charm was still there, which was really beautiful.

The woman looked at Leng Aotian and asked doubtfully: "May I ask who are you looking for? If it is my husband's friend, he may have to wait for a long time before he comes back."

"I'm here to look for you." Leng Aotian explained, "You are Forsythia?"

Hearing the name Lianqiao for the first time, Lianqiao's eyes like autumn water couldn't help but stare straight at Leng Aotian, with a slightly cold tone: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Forsythia is the name she used to call when she was on errand in the Palace of the Four Princesses.

"Ma'am, I'm from the seventh prince's mansion. I came here to find you because of a case three years ago." Leng Aotian said slightly, trying not to look like a troublemaker.

Lian Qiao immediately turned pale when she first heard about the case three years ago, and said in a firm tone, "What about the case three years ago, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Madam, how about this? It's not convenient to stand at the door and talk all the time. Can we go in and talk?"

Forsythia refused to agree.Say coldly to Leng Aotian: "If you have anything to say, just say it outside the house. If the neighbors see it, the lonely man and widow may have some scandals."

"Okay. It's getting late now, and I won't spend any more time with you. I'm here to be a witness to how Ouyang Xun framed Ouyang Yun and murdered Ouyang Fu."

"There is no such thing. I don't know how to testify?" Lian Qiao waved her hand to close the chai gate to drive away the customers.

Leng Aotian managed to find out this one witness who can testify against Ouyang Xun's crimes, how can he leave easily now?

He was still sluggish and refused to leave.

Lianqiao had an angry look on her face, and she accused Leng Aotian, "My family has already said that I don't know the four princesses and seven princes, why is the young master unwilling to leave? The food at the slave's family is not cooked for a while, and the husband will come back to work for a day and go home for dinner." I'm afraid I'll be angry if I don't have anything to eat. The slave family and the young master have never had much hatred, why did the young master put me in this situation?"

When the two were quarreling, Lianqiao's husband came back with a basket.

From a distance, he saw a young son standing at the door of his house.I am very curious in my heart.

Lianqiao also saw her husband came back, so she asked Kaishen to keep a distance from Leng Aotian so as not to misunderstand her husband.

"This is?" Mr. Lianqiao looked at Leng Aotian and asked Lianqiao.

"I don't know him either." Lian Qiao hurriedly explained.

"Did the young master pass through this place to stay here?" The man began tentatively.

Leng Aotian shook his head.Just as he was about to explain, a group of men in black came from a distance.

He smelled a murderous aura from afar.Turning around, he told the couple, "You guys hide in the house first, and I will let you come out later."

The couple looked towards Leng Aotian and saw a group of black-clothed killers approaching.

The men in black pulled out their swords one by one, and they all surrounded Leng Aotian.

"Who are you?" Leng Aotian asked with a soft sword finger from his waist and pointed at the man in black.

I saw that the man in black didn't say a word, and in an instant he raised his knife and stabbed towards Leng Aotian.

Leng Aotian dodged sideways, facing another man in black who was coming at him with a knife, he tapped his toes and jumped into the air, kicking the man in black hard on the head without hesitation.

Due to the force, the other party fell backwards suddenly. It was a coincidence that his head hit a sharp rock and passed out.

Leng Aotian felt that a man in black was attacking him from behind, he ducked down to avoid the stabbing knife, picked up the weapon on the ground and stabbed the man in black in the heart.Before the man in black could react, he was dealt with in one move.

Because of the large number of enemies, he gradually felt powerless, but he still fought hard to resist and counterattack.

One after another, the men in black fell down, and at this moment Leng Aotian was also stabbed on the arm.

The bright red blood instantly dyed the sleeves red through the silver-white robe.Leng Aotian didn't care about the injury on his arm and continued to fight with the man in black.

Finally, when his knife pierced the chest of the last man in black on the scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah!" A desolate cry suddenly came from the house.

Leng Aotian ran into the room and saw a man in black who slipped through the net and stabbed the sword into Mrs. Lianqiao's chest.

Forsythia's face was already wet.She hugged the man tightly and said, "My husband! You're fine! You'll be fine!"

Leng Aotian stepped forward with a knife and chopped off the head of the man in black.

Due to his swift action, he was not sprayed with blood all over his body.

Leng Aotian walked to the side of the couple and knelt down, stretched out his hand to the tip of the man's nose to breathe, but there was no sound at all.

His hands dropped limply.

Why did he meet an assassin by such a coincidence?Was Lianqiao's identity exposed?Or did he attract the assassin because of himself?

He looked at Forsythia.I saw her beautiful face with tangled and distorted facial features, and she shouted hoarsely, "Sir, don't leave me! What should we do with the child in our womb if you leave?"

After hearing this, Leng Aotian subconsciously looked at Forsythia's lower abdomen, only to see that the abdomen that should have been flat was slightly swollen.

About two or three months pregnant.

Forsythia looked devastated, her whole body remained motionless, even her eyes were frozen.Leng Aotian couldn't bear to see it, and suppressed the deep self-blame in his heart for his carelessness and not counting the number of people in black, which caused the other party to kill Mr. Lianqiao.

Leng Aotian comforted, "Someone wants to kill you, so forsythias, you should come to Seventh Palace, so that the people in the palace can still protect you. For the sake of the fetus in your womb, you have to live no matter what!"

Lian Qiao wiped her tears, choked up and said, "Young master is right. It's just that the slave family wants to build a grave for Xianggong to put him in. Afterwards, the slave family will go with you to the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

"Okay, I'll help you." Leng Aotian felt that this was the only way he could help her now.

There are no stars tonight, and a bright moon is in the sky.There was silence all around.

It was already late at night when Leng Aotian and Lian Qiao returned to the Seventh Palace after finishing their affairs.Everyone in the workshop rested early, only one or two dogs barking on the street appeared abruptly in the dark night.

"Come here, open the door quickly!" Leng Aotian vigorously slapped on the lacquered red door.It was a bit cold at night, the wind blew over from the corner of the street, bringing cold air in through the thin clothes, Lian Qiao waited quietly with her neck shrunk and her arms folded.

After a while, the servant on duty heard the knock on the door, then got up from the ground with difficulty, rubbed his sleepy eyes and replied impatiently: "Come here!"

As soon as the door opened, it was Prince Leng, a good friend of the prince, who fell into sight. The guard hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically, "What's the matter with Master Leng's late-night visit?"

Leng Aotian rubbed his sore palm and said to the guard: "I have been shouting outside for a long time. Are you alone on duty tonight?"

The guard hung his head guilty, and said with a dry smile, "The other has a stomachache to see that the doctor hasn't returned yet, so I'm just a slave tonight."

Hearing this, Leng Aotian waved his hand and gave up, and turned to tell the guard: "Please wake up the prince, I have something important to discuss with him."

The guard should rush to pass the message.

Someone had already lit candles in the front hall, and Leng Aotian had already walked on the mountain road for a long time. At this time, his legs and feet were already sore, so he sat on the grand master's chair and waited for Ouyang Jun.While beating his legs, he politely said to Lian Qiao: "Your legs must have been hurting after walking for a long time, why don't you just sit and wait?"

It may be that Leng Aotian never sticks to etiquette, or that she is much weaker after pregnancy, and now she doesn't care about honor and humbleness, and forsythia has already sat down on the chair with one knee bent.

Ouyang Jun and Guan Wanjing got up under the notice of the servants and scribbled to tidy up and went to the hall.

As soon as Leng Aotian saw Ouyang Jun, he cupped his hands and greeted him, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you're all right!"

Ouyang Jun had a cold face, and his voice had no warmth, "What's the matter with coming to the mansion so late?"

Leng Aotian laughed dryly, stepped forward and patted Ouyang Jun on the shoulder, "Don't be so indifferent! Anyway, I also found an important clue for you."

Ouyang Jun didn't know why, but saw a beautiful girl in plain clothes standing beside Leng Aotian.

"who is she?"

Leng Aotian opened the folding fan with a bang, shook it twice and said, "Do you know why the fifteen princes in the palace suddenly drowned?"

Ouyang Jun looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is there still an inside story?"
