    Calm down, you should get used to it.

    Li Ruoshui was being held by someone on his shoulder at this time, his abdomen was being held up, and he was bumping up and down.

    Her eyes were wrapped in black cloth, her wrists were tied behind her back, and the situation was now akin to torture.

    How did Li Ruoshui know that for the person who tied her, this time was not kidnapping, but escape.

    "Amitabha, Amitabha..."

    The kid who kidnapped the man had pale lips, kept chanting the Buddha's name in his mouth, and the wind was blowing under his feet. This speed was comparable to running for his life.

    He was drenched in cold sweat, his hands and feet panicked, and he only felt that the legs that exercised power were not his, and that what he stepped on was not a roof tile, but a soft cotton.

    He didn't even dare to look back, for fear that what he would see when he turned his head was the terrifying smile of the little beast from Lu Zhiyuan.

    And then heard that nightmarish whisper "found you".

    He is the survivor of the last Yufeng Villa annihilation case, and Mrs. Xu loves to send them to face Lu Zhiyao, euphemistically calling them "experienced".

    Bah, it's almost as good as letting them die. If he hadn't given too much, he'd rather be strangers with Lu Zhiyuan.

    "Brother, take it easy... or I'll vomit on you..."

    Li Ruoshui turned his head down and followed him up and down, feeling that the world was spinning, but she wanted to thank him for covering her eyes.

    "No, no, I won't stop. I'm here to save you. It's better to be sold at Yufeng Villa than to follow that lunatic."

    Li Ruoshui: ...

    She is too dizzy now, so leave the energy to complain.

    She had a hunch that when she arrived at Yufeng Villa, there would definitely be places where she needed to complain more.

    The potential of human beings in escaping is infinite, and under the blessing of various hormones, the burst of energy will be higher than before.

    The moment he threw Li Ruoshui to the ground, he couldn't believe that he could achieve this speed.

    Li Ruoshui who was thrown to the ground: grass.

    To be honest, since she had an ambiguous atmosphere with Lu Zhiyao, she hadn't suffered such an injury for a long time.

    "Did someone bring it?"

    A slightly cold female voice entered her ears, and Li Ruoshui turned to the source of the sound, but her eyes were covered with black cloth, so she couldn't see the surrounding scene.

    "This is the money promised to you, plus an extra, and Bai Shuang will drag the lunatic."

    Only then did Li Ruoshui hear it. This was the voice of Mrs. Xu.

    It always sounded very gentle at the banquet before, but now it is a bit colder, it seems that this is the emotion she should have.

    "I'm not going." The person who came to resist her refused succinctly: "That's not called holding back, that's called sending to death."

    "I vaguely remember that eight years ago, you and him made a lot of moves. If it wasn't for his master to suggest some moves later, I'm afraid it would have been longer."

    Mrs. Xu's voice gradually approached, and Li Ruoshui silently moved to the right, hoping that they would temporarily forget her existence.

    Although she had already guessed the reason for being tied up this time, it was still because of the distance.

    "Don't go. Today is different from the past. I'm not at the same level as him, so I won't die."

    After the man said this, he reached out and brought Li Ruoshui over again.

    "If you can do it, the dividends this year will be doubled for you."

    The man no longer refused the first time, but began to hesitate.

    The business they are doing can be said to be a huge profit. Even people like him get a lot of dividends every year. If it is five times...

    "I tried my best to hold him back so that he couldn't find out any news."

    The footsteps went away, and there was no sound from the man beside her, but something covered her instep.

    A strong fragrance of pear blossoms floated up, her lower jaw was lifted, and her slightly long nails rubbed against her cheeks, causing a slight pain.

    Li Ruoshui couldn't help turning his head away when she approached, trying to hold his breath.

    The fragrance of pear flowers is not fragrant, even a little smelly, with a strange fishy smell, which is really indescribable.

    "If I had known that he liked your appearance, I would have kidnapped ten or eight to tempt him. How could a little beast get married?"

    "You can do it, why can't he?"

    Li Ruoshui leaned aside and took a big breath of air, and couldn't help but start complaining.

    "...There is something to say. I can withstand physical attacks, but chemical attacks are very inhumane."

    "What do you mean?" Mrs. Xu's voice was cold, her fingernails had already made red marks on Li Ruoshui's cheeks.

    "Meaning you can hit me, but don't torture me with this smell..."

    Madam Xu sneered, her hands even harder.

    "The mouth is very good at talking. If you say a few more words, I will tear your mouth apart!"

    "..." She didn't want to be torn apart.

    This Mrs. Xu is estimated to have never practiced martial arts, her hand strength is too weak, and she doesn't even have half the distance.

    She was a warrior who could survive after being strangled by him.

    "Did you hear that? Answer me."

    Mrs. Xu shook her chin, her voice a little angry.

    "I heard. This is what you told me to say, don't tear my mouth after that."

    Madam Xu released her chin impatiently, pushed her to the ground, and then raised her hand to lift the black veil over her eyes.

    "Look, this is what that little beast did!"

    The light came to her eyes, and her eyes were unusually white, which made her eyes hurt even more.

    After getting used to the light, Li Ruoshui blinked and looked around.

    In front of the eyes is a heavy coffin with white lingerie around the beams around it, a big "Dian" character is placed in the center, and pear blossoms made of white paper are inserted everywhere in the house.

    And in this piece of white, there is also a curl of light smoke, floating in the air lightly.

    The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard, but Li Ruoshui felt an inexplicable coolness here, as if there was a cool breeze passing through her back.

    Especially the coffin in the center, it was so black that it seemed to press her down, the bottom of the coffin was printed with traces of dried corpse water, and the front of the coffin was offering incense, and the strong pear blossom smell seemed to come from there.

    She had never seen such an "quaint" mourning hall. She was frightened for a while and couldn't help but keep her eyes closed.

    "Don't turn your head, this is all a good thing your husband did, why don't you dare to look at it?"

    Except for a little sense of fear frightened by this practice scene, she is not really afraid.

    She has confidence in herself and Lu Zhiyao, she believes that nothing will happen to her.

    But suddenly hearing this strange "Xianggong", she couldn't help scratching her toes and wanted to laugh.

    Lu Zhiyao is very charming in bed, and she always feels awkward to call him husband. For her, it may be easier to call her wife...

    It's not right, it's better to call the road far away.

    "Are you listening to me!"

    Mrs. Xu didn't tear off her mouth, but she was forced to tear off her gentle disguise.

    It was the same when the little beast was brought by Lu Zhiyao to take revenge, with his eyes closed and his mind wandering, no matter how much they persuaded him, he didn't hear it.

    It really is a collection!

    Out of anger, she tried to mention Li Ruoshui, but she lost her strength halfway through and let her fall again.

    Xu Si used to be a lady of the boudoir, and even now she is very powerful, Mrs. Xu who serves tea, enjoys flowers, and dances well with long sleeves.

    If Li Ruoshui hadn't been tied up now, and there was no one guarding the outer courtyard, it would have been Mrs. Xu who was brought up.

    Too bad there is no if.

    "Take her to me before the coffin, and let her take a good look at the evil things that beast has done!"

    A tall and strong man ran into the outer courtyard. He lifted Li Ruoshui with one hand and pressed her onto the coffin like a little chicken.

    "Grass!" (not a plant)

    Li Ruoshui really couldn't help scolding.

    This coffin is clearly made of fine red sandalwood, but the red sandalwood incense has been dyed by the corpse odor and the incense made of pear flowers, forming a new and strange taste.

    Maybe someone with a sensitive nose could be sent away on the spot.

    "Help help..."

    Li Ruoshui couldn't help blinking her eyes, she was already in tears by the smell.

    If she is wrong, you can beat her up, instead of punishing her in this way.

    "My husband has been lying there for eight years, but this little beast has been outside for eight years. Why?"

    "I thought there was no way to take him, but I didn't expect you to show up. It's a godsend." Mrs. Xu walked to the coffin and looked at her hatefully.

    "Our husband and wife are separated by yin and yang. After going around, he is married. It's a big joke!"

    Mrs. Xu waved her hand, and the man immediately let go of Li Ruoshui, and hurriedly left the place where the fragrance was indescribable.

    Mrs. Xu looked at Li Ruoshui who was breathing heavily on the ground and smiled sarcastically.

    "You're still useful now, let's let you go for the time being, and I'll give you a coffin with my own hands when I catch you all."

    She spun around and sat in the mourning hall, with a decent smile on her face, very scary, as if she had already won if she caught Li Ruoshui.

    Knowing that he was safe now, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but start thinking wildly, thinking of the master who was just buried by the loess.

    She already knew the general story of his master and these people, but one thing was still unclear, what was his master's situation in Yufeng Villa back then.

    "It disappeared after the Luyao Tournament. It must be the pursuit of He Zhuang that annoyed her so much that she simply went into seclusion?"

    Mrs. Xu looked up and saw Li Ruoshui looking at her with a smile. There was no fear in her eyes, and she could see her anger rising from the bottom of her heart.

    "You're young, so I know a lot. I know what you want to ask, it's not as strange as the rumors, we just took a fancy to her martial arts, and we tricked her into handing over the secret book, and finally abolished her hands and feet. ."

    She looked straight at Li Ruoshui, looked her up and down, and suddenly pulled out a mocking smile.

    "Humans have a skin on the surface. Who knows what's under the skin? But you're good. If you marry a lunatic, you'll be crazy inside and out, so you can't say you've been deceived."

    "And He Wenmo and I, who knows whether he used me or I used him."

    Li Ruoshui couldn't help but raised his brows, turned his head and looked at the mourning hall carefully.

    This place is really decent, but the only thing that is wrong is the coffin in the hall. They all say that it is safe to go into the earth. When the master of Lu Zhiyuan is about to die, he knows that he will go into the earth.

    Mrs. Xu loves him so much, how can she let him rot here for eight years, she has so much black money, can't she even buy ice?

    Xu Si actually took out a tea set from the cabinet in the mourning hall and brewed tea skillfully without speaking.

    There is no small stove here, only cold water, and she starts to wake up tea with this water.

    It doesn't matter to her whether it is hot water or not. She knows exactly what kind of tea to brew at what temperature and for how long.

    The shrunken green tea was soaked in cold water and lay slumped at the bottom of the cup, showing no signs of brewing.

    Mrs. Xu used cold water as hot water and estimated the time to wake up for tea.

    On the other hand, Li Ruoshui was scratching her head. She swore that when she returned, she would read all the hundreds of chapters of this novel and fill in the details.

    "Of course I also like He Wenmo, but I prefer money and power. As a woman, I can never get these in the imperial city. My only end is to marry a courtier."

    When it was time to wake up, she lifted the cup and poured out the water. The tea inside was still wrinkled, and the water was sprinkled near the coffin.

    What Huangcheng people love the most is tea, and anyone who is skilled in making tea will be looked at highly, so she has been practicing.

    Up to now, the imperial city has neither the wife of the owner of Yufeng Villa, nor Miss Xu, the daughter of the old lady Fu, but only one long-sleeved wife, Xu Si, who is good at dancing and helping people from disasters.

    "But I still hate Lu Chi, hate him for ruining what I planned, hate him for killing my husband and children, so I have to start all over again."

    If there was no way to go, she would already be famous in the imperial city.

    If Li Ruoshui hadn't appeared, she might have flinched now, but God gave her another chance to take revenge.

    Li Ruoshui watched her repeat the action of brewing tea, with a smile that was not a smile, and suddenly understood.

    The arrangement of this mourning hall, the pear trees all over the mountain, and the reason why she didn't bite to death in such a big trouble back then, all came to the surface.

    These are just to hide her ambitions.

    The sun was shining brightly today, and it seemed to cast a layer of soft light on people's faces, which was very genial and warm.

    There was a tantalizing scent of sugar on the street, perhaps because the fire in the built-in small stove was a little hot, and it burned out a sticky fragrance, which was even sweeter.

    While the boss was busy cooling down and reducing the fire, he shouted and sold.

    A shadow was cast in front of the stall, and the boss took the time to take a look. He was a handsome boy in white.

    He couldn't help but take a second look, and then said, "Young master, do you want to buy candy paintings? It's delicious and not greasy, the shape... It's good to eat it."

    He looked into Lu Zhiyao's eyes and swallowed the word "looks" back.

    "I heard that sugar painting can draw anything, can it do that too?"

    The boss glanced at the puppet in his hand, then nodded: "Wait a minute."

    At this time, Lu Zhiyao had just left the White House not long ago.

    The people who tried to attack them last night had already been dealt with by him, and he came out too early this morning. It would take a while to catch them and torture them.

    He didn't know that someone had been monitoring them in the inn far away for five or six days, staring at the front of the courtyard from morning to night, just to find that little chance.

    When he was here waiting for the candy, Li Ruoshui had already been taken captive to the roof.

    "Son, it's done."

    The boss has been doing it for decades and is skilled, and the sugar painting he quickly draws is no different from the appearance of the puppet in his hand.

    Lu Zhiyao took the sugar painting and touched it with his fingers. It was indeed Li Ruoshui's appearance.

    He frowned, paid the money and turned to leave.

    Lu Zhiyao put the sugar painting in his mouth, the tip of his tongue slowly pierced, and then he bit off half of his head in one bite, grinding it between his teeth.

    tasty.

    Lu Kao was eating sugar paintings and walked leisurely to that alley, where he had met them many times.

    The imperial city looks clean and bright, but in fact, these dark alleys are mostly dirty.

    As Lu Zhi had thought, the group of people had just arrived, but they came to delay Lu Zhi.

    As soon as the two sides met, the group of people drew their knives without hesitation, thinking they didn't give Lu Zhiyao a chance to react.

    They were all newcomers to Yufeng Villa who didn't know Lu Zhiyuan. Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and they dared to stop the dance with a knife.

    They thought they were besieging them, but in fact one person besieged them from the distance.

    In terms of fighting, Lu Zhiyao is far ahead of them in terms of skills and strength, and it is a level that can be hanged.

    In the face of people who are weaker than himself, Lu Zhiyao will never have the extremely strange idea of ​​not bullying the weak and respecting the old and loving the young.

    Since it is strong, it can naturally crush others.

    Including physical crushing.

    He stepped on the head of one person under his feet, and the hem of the white crane embroidered with silver thread fell on the person's face.

    The hem of the clothes was soft, but his feet were slowly exerting force, as if he wanted to press him into the stone floor.

    "Who sent you here?"

    He leaned down, the covered halo dyed behind him, and the strands of black hair slid down, swaying a few gentle arcs.

    His expression at this time is not like asking, more like extending a helping hand to the person who has fallen down, as if he wants to pull him up.

    Unfortunately not, the more beautiful the imagination, the crueler the reality.

    He was holding the candy man's bamboo stick in his hand. The bottom of the bamboo stick was at his fingertips, and the tip was pressing against the man's temple, which was already recessed in an arc.

    "Those who say the answer can leave here today."

    The people around were holding knives, and they had already suffered a lot of injuries, so they didn't dare to fight with him at this time.

    "I said, I said!"

    The man whose temple was pressed hurriedly raised his hand, fearing that he would not be able to hear it, and he increased the volume.

    Lu Zhiyao simply bent down, the pointed end of the bamboo stick pressed deeper, and the force of stepping on his head increased a lot.

    "you say."

    With permission, the man did not hesitate, and quickly spoke according to the original plan.

    "We are the guards of the palace, all this is the order of Princess Anyang, and there is nothing we can do."

    "lie."

    The bamboo stick pierced down without hesitation, went straight through his brain, and came out from the other side.

    The man's eyes turned white and his lips were still twitching, but no one understood what he was saying.

    "who is the next?"

    When Lu Zhizhi got up, he pulled out the bamboo stick, and the smile on his lips was as gentle and polite as spring water in March.

    Cruelty and tenderness are intertwined, always confusing.

    The rest of the people didn't speak, and for a while they were still unsure whether to tell the truth.

    Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and chuckled, his long hair slid down to cover his expression, like a fairy, but he was actually a devil.

    "Since I don't want to stand up, I will choose it myself."

    He doesn't want to waste time here, killing people is fun, but what can be compared to being by Li Ruoshui's side?

    He was going back to have lunch with her.

    One of them tried to escape, but he was grabbed with silver wire and dragged back.

    This is fate, so had to ask him.

    "Who sent you here?"

    The man whose brain was pierced was still moving, his fingers were twitching, but everyone could tell that he was not dead, he was still alive.

    Living now is more painful than dying.

    Lu Zhiyao's method of coercing a confession has always been simple and effective, and no one can bear such a cruel method of coercion.

    He pressed the man's head and said half-coaxedly, "Don't worry, it only takes a while to get better."

    When you die, you feel no pain.

    The temple has been stabbed into the hollow slowly, as if there is only a layer of gauze in the middle, and it will be pierced further.

    "I said I said! It's Yufeng Villa, we all just joined this year!"

    "very good."

    Lu Zhiyao took back the bamboo stick and played with his thumb against the pointed end, the strength hovering around the edge of piercing his finger.

    He turned to face the other people, his eyebrows stretched, and he was happy with the news he got.

    "Now I promise to let him go, as for you..."

    He raised his sword, and when he was about to pull out his scabbard, he suddenly stopped his hand. The scabbard slanted, and the arrow shot diagonally fell to the ground.

    That person was the one sent by Mrs. Xu. The purpose was to delay the time for Lu Chi to go back, so that they could not figure out who they were.

    He had just arrived, and he didn't know that the people under the wall had already shaken everything off.

    "The road is far away, I haven't seen you for eight years, you have advanced too much in martial arts, do you want to compete with me?"

    It is a comparison, in fact, it is a sneak attack. If you are far away from the road, you will have a better chance of winning with a long-distance attack.

    "Sorry, I don't know you."

    Lu Zhizhi was still stepping on blood under his feet, but he smiled so softly, as if he really felt sorry for it.

    "And." Lu Zhiyao retracted his sword: "I already know what I want to know, and now I have to go back for lunch, see you later."

    He was like coming to a banquet, he came happily and left easily, and it was not so smooth to go home.

    The man glanced at the ground, then frowned, raised his crossbow and shot another arrow, and then stopped moving when he saw Lu Yuan dodged.

    It seems that Lu Zhiyao has already asked the answer. After he pretends to save people, he has to leave here. If he is too late, he will die.

    The breeze was blowing, and the man stood against the wall against the wind and stopped moving, intending to call everyone to retreat together.

    "Let's go..."

    Before he could finish speaking, a flash of silver light flashed, wrapped around his neck and pulled him down.

    Before he could stand still, his neck wrapped in silver threads fell into a slightly cold hand again.

    Lu Zhiyao pinched his neck, his brows were gentle, and his soft eyelashes moved slightly in the wind.

    He opened his lips slightly, but his voice cooled down, like the sunshine in winter, without any temperature.

    "Why do you smell like her?"

    The author has something to say: To explain, Lu Zhiyao didn't remember the name of this villa from beginning to end, and he didn't think about the kidnapping, and Li Ruoshui didn't tell him, so he didn't know who it was. .
