——“If you are a man, you can’t say no!”

——"You are the male lead, how can you admit that you can't!"

Hearing his words, Ruan Jiao's heart was extraordinarily rich.

Pei Zhiheng's mouth twitched.

For a moment, he actually wanted to tell her that he could hear her voice and see how she reacted.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

After all, she can't be allowed to run away.

...

He Ruan Jiao guessed right, those people really came after them.

No, to be precise, she came alone.

On the day that Pei Zhiheng went to the Qionglin Banquet, she and Pei's mother stayed at home, the genius was about to black out, and a few uninvited guests came in.

Probably didn't expect them to take precautions, one by one fell into the trap specially prepared by them.

Mother Pei was outside at the time, and was so frightened that she almost shouted out.

But at the last moment, he grabbed his throat and hurriedly went into the house to find Ruan Jiao.

I don't know if look down on the two weak women. Ruan Jiao clearly saw a group of people that day, but only four people came today.

Ruan Jiao knocked them all unconscious, and tied them up with the help of Mother Pei.

Thinking of the dead men raised by big families often mentioned in novels, there may be smack in their teeth, and they checked their teeth one by one, only to wake up one of them, and want to ask them who sent them. of.

As a result, the bones of these people were very hard, and they refused to say a word. Ruan Jiao frowned slightly.

Mother Pei looked at her blankly, "What should I do now? Are you going to send me off to an official?"

Hearing that the faces of the people who were sent to the government changed slightly, they quickly calmed down.

There was probably someone behind her, so she was fearless and felt that even if Ruan Jiao sent them to the government, there would still be no problem.

Ruan Jiao sneered and shook her head, "No, we don't know what their purpose is or what their identities are. Sending them to the government may be a matter of letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the danger is still at the sign."

Mother Pei's expression changed, and she couldn't help swallowing, "Then... is that going to kill?"

Ruan Jiao couldn't help laughing, "Mother, don't be afraid, we don't do things that violate the law and discipline, and my husband still wants to be an official through the imperial examination."

Mother Pei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but she only relaxed for a moment, looking at these people's eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character.

She was a little sad, "What about these people? You can't just leave it here, right?"

Ruan Jiao: "Isn't there a cellar behind the house we rented? Throw them all in, wait for your husband to come back, and ask him what to do."

Mother Pei had nothing to do, so she nodded when she heard the words.

Seeing Ruan Jiao knocking everyone out again, she gritted her teeth and wanted to help, but Ruan Jiao refused.

Seeing Ruan Jiao dragging two people with one hand with ease, and then dragging people into the cellar at one time, Mother Pei didn't know what to do, but suddenly felt less nervous.

Pei Zhiheng came back from the Qionglin Banquet, and it was the door that Pei's mother went to open.

His mother's face was flawless the whole time, and he had no doubts at all until he was led to the cellar and saw the four assassins.

He looked back at Ruan Jiao, who had a calm expression, and Mother Pei, who was staring at Ruan Jiao as if the sky was falling, and instantly said, "..."

His throat was a little dry, and although he thought it was impossible, his eyes swept over the two of them quickly, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no injury, "What's going on?"

Ruan Jiao told him what happened that night carefully.

Mother Pei also added a little.

Pei Zhiheng frowned fiercely, his face darkened.

Originally, when he went out, he thought that when those people saw that he was single, they would start with him first.

But they didn't expect them to find their home first.

It seems that these people are likely not attracted by that ledger.

Could it be that their target is Ruan Jiao?

Just, how could it be?

The Ruan family has settled in Taohua Village for more than ten years. Ruan's father is just an ordinary scholar. Ruan's family has never left the village since childhood. It can be said that Ruan Jiao would have traveled the farthest so far if it hadn't been for his scientific examination. And only in town.

And in the past life until the death of Nguyen, no one came to her.

Could it be because of Qiu Yang?

Mother Pei looked at Pei Zhiheng and didn't know what he was thinking. She couldn't help interrupting his thoughts and asked, "Jiao Niang said that these people can't be sent to office, so what should we do with them?"

"Just put it here." Pei Zhiheng's eyes were full of turbulent emotions. He raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his voice was cold.

Mother Pei was a little worried, "What if someone finds out?"

Pei Zhiheng: "This house still has at least two months before the lease term, no one will know."

Ruan Jiao was acutely aware of Pei Zhiheng's meaning, and suddenly looked up at him.

Pei Zhiheng also raised his head at the same time, and the two looked at each other. He asked gently, "Are you afraid?"

Hearing this, Ruan Jiao was instantly determined.

Pei Zhiheng just planned to let these people fend for themselves.

As expected of the male lead.

Soldiers are not bloody, but it can be regarded as letting him understand.

Ruan Jiao shook her head, "Don't be afraid, just after the list is released, don't you still have a lot of banquets to attend? If we leave, will it be affected?"

Pei Zhiheng let out a low laugh, looking at Ruan Jiao with deep eyes, "It's okay, after today's Qionglin Banquet, you don't need to care about the rest of the banquet. At that time, I will tell the public that I will go back to my hometown to visit my father's grave. pay tribute to ancestors."

Ruan Jiao laughed, and couldn't help but secretly said to him, "Husband's reason is good, maybe it will spread out, and they will also praise husband's pure filial piety!"

Listening to the two of them relaxed, Mother Pei also gradually relieved, "It's better to go back to your hometown, every day you stay here, you burn money, it hurts my heart to see it, after you go back and stay until next year, the two of you will go to Beijing, I will stay in the village and the expenses will be lower.”

After Mother Pei finished speaking, she sighed, "We only have more than 1,000 taels of silver in our hands, and now it's just a provincial capital, and it already costs so much. If Saburo passes the exam in the capital, he will stay there. I don’t know if it’s enough to buy a house and daily expenses.”

Ruan Jiao thought of her handful of golden leaves, and persuaded: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, mother, don't think so much."

Mother Pei listened to her persuasion, and suddenly thought of the fact that Ruan Jiao had picked up wild boars and wolves, and she could also dig up ginseng.

Her tone became complicated in an instant, "That's right, Jiao Niang, your luck is so good, our family of three will definitely not be reduced to drinking the northwest wind."

Ruan Jiao also laughed, "Mother, don't worry, wrap it on my body, if I have a mouthful of soup, I will definitely have a mouthful of meat for you!"

Pei Zhiheng looked at Ruan Jiao who was completely broken, without any cover: "..."

Ruan Jiao noticed Pei Zhiheng's gaze, and smiled, "It's time for my husband to wash the dishes!"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

Did he still have to praise her for a clear division of labor?

After the family discussed it, they packed up their things and prepared to go to Beijing.

Mother Pei made some snacks to give away, and the neighbors around saw them leaving in such a hurry, and they were a little curious.

Ruan Jiao didn't expect Pei's mother to be an acting school. At night, because those people were in the cellar, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were covered with dark circles. As a result, she talked and laughed happily when she saw others in the morning, as if nothing happened.

Anyone who came across to inquire, told them in a serious manner that Pei Zhiheng's father died early, thanks to the care of the villagers, now that he has passed the exam, Xie Yuan must go home and pay homage to him His father, so that his father can be happy even under the nine springs.

Although they lived here for such a long time, Mother Pei seldom talked about family affairs with others. When they heard that Mother Pei was a widow, the expressions on many people's faces changed slightly.

Mother Pei naturally saw it all. If it was before, she might have been worried when she saw these things, but now thinking about the three people in the cellar in the backyard, she was in a panic, and she wished she could take Ruan Jiao and them with her immediately. When Pei Zhiheng left, he couldn't care less about these things.

Ruan Jiao followed her back home, seeing her frowning, she was worried that she was not feeling well, and persuaded her, "Mother, don't think so much, don't take their words to heart."

Mother Pei was at a loss, "Ah? What are you talking about?"

Ruan Jiao: "..."

Pei's mother came to her senses, "Damn, maybe we will never see them again in this life. If my son chooses an official in the future, I will be the wife of an official. There is no need to argue with them about these issues. Naturally, I won't worry about it." .”

Ruan Jiao really admired her soberness in the world, seeing that she really didn't feel at ease, so she didn't say anything else.

After Pei Zhiheng went to say goodbye to his teachers and friends these days, they finally embarked on the road to Beijing.

Because they were worried that those people would find them, they chose the waterway.

Originally thinking that the waterway would be faster and safer, the three of them had made arrangements for everything, but Ruan Jiao actually got seasick.

Ruan Jiao didn't know that she was actually seasick, lying on the bed, feeling dizzy and vomiting all the time when she felt that her body was shaking without landing on the ground.

Seeing this, Mother Pei was anxious, and wanted to make her some appetizers, but because there were very few things on board, it couldn't be done.

Seeing that her anxious mouth was covered with blisters, Ruan Jiao suddenly felt distressed, "Mother, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a night of sleep, you go back and rest! Anyway, we only have seven days on the water, it really can't, I'll sleep It's over."

Seeing that she said it easily, Mother Pei knew that she didn't want her to worry, so she could only pretend to believe it and go out to find a way.

Sitting next to him, Pei Zhiheng twisted a veil and wiped Ruan Jiao's face, "If you are really uncomfortable, it's okay to spit it out."

Ruan Jiao took a look at him, and suddenly smelled the clear breath on his body, and felt better, so she leaned over and stretched out her arms.

Although she didn't say anything, she could understand what she meant just by looking at her movements.

Seeing her staring eagerly, Pei Zhiheng narrowed his eyes slightly, sat beside her, and pulled her into his arms.

Ruan Jiao buried her face in his chest and took a deep breath while hugging his thin waist.

——“As expected of the male protagonist, he has his own body fragrance buff! It’s just against the sky.”

Pei Zhiheng's mouth twitched and his eyebrows twitched.

Ruan Jiao was soft and fluffy, and she usually eats a lot, but in her arms, she was light and fluffy.

Pei Zhiheng looked at her pale face, and felt that his heart was blocked. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt that someone suddenly touched his lower abdomen.

He suddenly choked up and looked down at the top of Ruan Jiao's dark head, "What were you doing just now?"

Ruan Jiao raised her head and said in a confident tone, "I'll touch it, my own husband, can't I touch it?"

Her eyes widened a little, as if she would be more reasonable.

She even snorted in dissatisfaction because of his inquiry.

Pei Zhiheng sneered and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Ruan Jiao felt guilty when he saw it, and she didn't know if it was because of seasickness and unbearable patience, or because his usual indulgence made her daring to lose her mind, "I can't eat, can't I touch it? How can you do this? mean?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Pei Zhiheng's eyes.

His expression paused, "Are you saying that again?

"What's the matter? Say it again, I'm not afraid." Holding this warm body in her arms, Ruan Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, as if seasickness wasn't that uncomfortable anymore.

He buried his face in his stomach and rubbed lightly.

——"This person's figure is really good in hand, sigh, after I go back, I should not meet such a high-quality male Bodhisattva, even if I do, I can't just get started, at most I can only look at it. "

The smile on Pei Zhiheng's face suddenly froze on his face.

He giggled.

Xiao thinks of other men in front of him, but she is quite sorry to hear the tone?

He took a deep breath, raised her face, looked carefully at her dark eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and whispered, "Don't worry, little girl, after I am nominated for the Gold List, you can do whatever you want. Yes! But there is one condition, you can't leave me."

He looked at Ruan Jiao with deep eyes, and there were emotions that she couldn't understand.

But because she was dizzy and uncomfortable, she didn't notice his abnormality for a while, and thought he was joking, and suddenly snorted, "Who is in a hurry!"

Pei Zhiheng looked down at her with a stubborn expression, "You haven't promised me yet."

Ruan Jiao asked dazedly, "Promise what?"

"Promise not to leave me." Pei Zhiheng said it again impatiently, and even gently pinned the hair scattered on her face behind her ear, "As long as you don't leave me, I will depend on you for everything."

This is extremely humble, and even with a bit of pleading.

Ruan Jiao didn't know why he suddenly said such a thing.

Thinking of the ups and downs, and yet to reach 100% love value, can't help guessing, is it because he has no sense of security that his love value has not been full all this time?

Ruan Jiao couldn't help looking at him suspiciously, but because it was too uncomfortable, she couldn't think too much.

——“If you die in this world, you haven’t left him, right?”

Pei Zhiheng's breath suddenly turned cold, and his eyes became a little scary.

But Ruan Jiao didn't notice, she took a deep breath, nodded, and said softly, "Of course not, I will always be by my husband's side."

Pei Zhiheng laughed lowly, his chest trembled slightly because of the laughter.

He bent down, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice: "The lady, you have to remember, if you break your promise..."

His fingers slid across Ruan Jiao's neck, causing a burst of tiny bumps.

Ruan Jiao suddenly felt a little cold, something seemed wrong with him, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

In short, it made her feel very dangerous.

——"Is he threatening me by saying this? Emmm, what about his useless force value for fighting the five scum? Forget the man, let him have a little confidence."

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiao raised her hand, and patted him lightly on the back perfunctorily, "Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely not break my promise, if the words don't count, you will beat me up when the time comes." .”

Pei Zhiheng almost choked in his throat.

He almost laughed angrily.

Facing her carelessness and perfunctory, he squeezed her fingertips angrily, "You can be more perfunctory."

Ruan Jiao blinked and stretched out a little finger, "If you don't believe me, then let's pull the hook!"

Pei Zhiheng looked at her movements inexplicably, "What's the meaning?"

Although puzzled, he still stretched out a little finger cooperatively.

Ruan Jiao unceremoniously hooked his with her own, and then entangled them together, "The hook must not be changed for a hundred years, anyone who lies is a puppy!"

Pei Zhiheng sneered, and looked at her with half-closed eyes for a while, "It's not allowed to change for a hundred years, if you change, then pay me for the next life as well."

The tone of his words was very light, but Ruan Jiao shuddered inexplicably.

Pei Zhiheng hugged her even tighter, "Are you cold?"

It's no wonder she's cold in the weather in August.

She shook her head, "No, it's just..."

I wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Sanlang, it's me!"

Mother Pei came in with a bowl, her face showing joy, "I didn't expect someone on the boat to bring hawthorn, I bought some with that person, and cooked hawthorn porridge for Jiao Niang."

After finishing speaking, she also took out two oranges, although small, the skin was still a little green.

Mother Pei: "While I was making porridge, I happened to meet a pregnant lady. She had no appetite, but when she smelled my porridge, she suddenly had an appetite, so she took two oranges and exchanged a bowl of porridge with me. Jiaoniang and others I can eat porridge, if I still feel uncomfortable, I can eat these two oranges, put the peels on the bedside, smell the sweet smell, I think it will be much better."

Because of Mother Pei's interruption, Ruan Jiao completely forgot what she wanted to say just now.

The sweet and sour taste of hawthorn immediately gave her an appetite.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Pei's mother with a little embarrassment in her eyes, "Mother, you are too kind, aren't you?"

Pei Zhiheng saw all this, smiled, and helped her to sit up and drink porridge.

I don't know if she got used to it, but after she fainted on the boat for two days, she unexpectedly got better.

The next few days seemed to be nothing, and the adaptability was amazing.

Even Pei Zhiheng and Pei's mother looked haggard, but she seemed to have never been seasick until she got off the boat.

Life is as vigorous as the grass on the side of the road.

Give it a little sunshine and rain and it will grow into a piece.

Then there will be no waterway, and they need to take a carriage and go all the way north.

After they disembarked, they spent two days in a local inn for repairs, then hired a carriage and bought some necessary daily medicines and food, and then put the little yellow flag on the carriage, which was used only for those who went to Beijing to take the exam. , on the way.

The hired handlebar style is not too young, but his driving skills are very good and very stable. When Pei's mother cooks every day, she will also bring him a meal. .

Their family of three never met those people again along the way, and Mother Pei finally let go of the heart that she had been hanging on.

As a result, just a few days later, when they were passing through a pass, they encountered a group of masked black-clothed gangsters blocking and killing the convoy in front.

The people in the convoy are almost dead, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere.

Bloody smell soaring.

The handlebar style was so frightened that he almost fell off the carriage, and quickly raised his whip to drive the carriage away before those people found them.

However, the horse was stimulated and raised its hooves to make a rhythmic cry.

Those people's expressions froze, and when they turned their heads, they saw them, and a bandit with scarlet blood on the long sword in his hand rushed towards them quickly.

The handlebar style was so frightened that he fell off the carriage, and he didn't care about Ruan Jiao and the three of them in the carriage, and rushed towards the forest next to him, rolling and crawling on the ground.

Immediately, the man hummed, and the horse was fast, and when it came to his side, he stooped down, and the handlebar style suddenly let out a whimper, lying on the ground and didn't move, and the soil under him quickly dyed brown. .

Sitting in the car, Ruan Jiao realized something was wrong at the first time. She opened a curtain and saw the scene where the handlebar style was killed. Her pupils shrank rapidly, and she looked back at Pei Zhiheng and Pei's mother, " Those people are afraid to see that we bumped into it, saw something that shouldn't be seen, and plan to kill and silence, you sit in the car and don't move, protect yourselves!"

Mother Pei knew that this was not the time when she was holding her back, so she nodded immediately, but there was worry in her eyes.

Pei Zhiheng suddenly pulled out a dagger from the side, his face tensed and serious, "I'm with you."

Ruan Jiao refused on the spot, "No, you protect your mother in the car! If I go down alone, maybe they think I'm the only one in the car! If you go down, I will be distracted to protect you and take care of your mother."

Pei Zhiheng pursed his lips, looking unwilling, but knowing that Ruan Jiao was right, he nodded without insisting, "Then be careful."

He wanted to give the dagger in his hand to Ruan Jiao, but he didn't expect Ruan Jiao to turn his head back, quickly opened the curtain, and then fell down as if he didn't step on it firmly.

Pei Zhiheng looked startled, and immediately wanted to lift the curtain and jump down to help her.

As a result, a contrived scream suddenly came from outside the carriage.

In the next second, Ruan Jiao burst into tears in a crying voice, crying like she was singing, "Father...Father, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! You...Who are you?"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

He raised his hand to rest on his forehead, the expression on his face a little unbearable.

Outside the car, Ruan Jiao deliberately bit her lower lip and looked at the man riding on the horse with tears in her eyes. Kill me! Please!"

The man raised his eyebrows and sneered, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that there would be such a stunning beauty in this wilderness.

If the time and place were changed, he might still feel a little pity.

It's a pity that she saw something she shouldn't have seen, and she could only die here.

But for the sake of her good color, he can give her a good time and make her death less ugly.

He casually raised the long sword in his hand, and there was still crimson blood on the sword.

However, in the next second, the identities of hunter and prey suddenly switched.

I saw that the woman who was still scared with tears just now suddenly grabbed his wrist at the moment when he bent down, and with a force, she pulled him down abruptly.

The man's eyes widened in disbelief.

His wrist was scratched by her, and his bones seemed to be crushed.

He wanted to say something, but there was no chance.

Ruan Jiao clasped his neck indifferently, then twisted it hard.

Ruan Jiao grabbed his long sword with one hand, and then got on his horse.

The bandits over there didn't notice the situation here. After all, looking at the carriage, it was just a passerby, and there was no power to tie the chicken. Killing him was not the same as killing a chicken.

But they didn't expect that at the moment they ignored, Ruan Jiao took control of the situation.

She is not merciful either, chopping people is like chopping melons, one sword at a time, and all of them have become the souls of her sword.

Ruan Jiao was riding on the horse, her expression was cold, and she looked completely different from normal. Ruan Jiao Niang, who was so good-looking, looked like the reincarnation of a killing god.

All the robbers encountered her, and none of them used two moves.

Even because they resisted with the long swords in their hands, all of their swords finally shattered.

A little blood splashed on Ruan Jiao's cheeks.

She glanced blankly at the two remaining members of the convoy that had been killed.

There was someone behind the two of them, and they could only see that it was a man, but they couldn't see his face.

Facing their vigilant gaze, she said nothing, withdrew her gaze, and prepared to turn around and return to the carriage.

However, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Little girl?!"

Ruan Jiao looked in the direction of the voice and frowned.

Because the person behind those two people was none other than the middle-aged man he had met in the cottage before.

Although she knew that he might have used a pseudonym, Ruan Jiao called out as usual, "Mr. Wei?"

The middle-aged man showed gratitude, "I didn't expect that I was saved by the little lady for the second time. The life-saving grace is simply unrewarding."

Ruan Jiao said lightly: "It's just a matter of hand. If those people don't plan to kill people, I won't shoot."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Anyway, it was you who saved me in the end. I'm really sorry. I didn't tell you my real name for some reason when I was on the mountain. I'm really ashamed to think about it now. My surname is not Wei. The surname is Luo, the single name is Zheng."

"Oh." Ruan Jiao was expressionless, as if he had nothing to do with her even if his surname was Bai and his name was Radish.

Luo Zheng's expression paused, and he glanced at the carriage with Huang Qi inserted not far away.

Pei Zhiheng had already come out of the car, Luo Zheng clutched his chest and coughed twice, "Little lady, are you going to Beijing for the exam with Saburo Pei?"

Ruan Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Luo Zheng showed shame, "To be honest, I want to go back to the capital, but almost all the guards have died. I came to Beijing this time to escort important things. I hope you can give me a ride."

His voice was not low, it was not so much for Ruan Jiao, but for Pei Zhiheng not far away.

Mother Pei had already been so frightened by the blood on the ground that her legs were limp. When she heard his words in the carriage, she immediately sternly said, "No, it's too dangerous. Who knows if you will implicate us."

Speaking of this, she paused, her eyes fell on Luo Zheng's wet front, "...we will take you to the nearest village at most, and then you..."

From the corner of her eyes, Mother Pei suddenly noticed a severed limb on the ground, she bent over and gave a yue sound, and quickly pulled down the curtain.

Luo Zheng: "..."

Ruan Jiao and Pei Zhiheng didn't speak, obviously listening to Pei's mother.

Because he had gotten along with him before, Luo Zheng knew who Pei's mother was, and he didn't argue, so he agreed. He asked one of his subordinates to ride a fast horse to report to the police, and the rest followed him.

He was stabbed in the chest, and the injury was actually very serious. Although their carriage was still there, the horse was dead. Fortunately, the horses these gangsters were riding were still there, so they could be harnessed to the carriage.

Before leaving, Ruan Jiao took a look at the handlebar that had long been out of gas, sighed, and dug a hole to bury him.

Pei Zhiheng stood beside her, "When the time comes, I'll ask someone to find his family, make up some compensation, and bring his bones back."

Luo Zheng also really wanted to build a tomb for the guards protecting him, but he had a lot of people, and his subordinates had already reported to the police, if he walked slowly and bumped into those people, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Luo Zheng glanced at them and sighed, "Let's go, the smell of blood here is too strong, and it's too dangerous to attract wild animals."

They needed to take a detour, and also needed to conceal Luo Zheng's movements, so they could only return to the same place and take a detour.

It's getting late today, walking back, don't know how long it will take to find a place to rest.

The two carriages were moving in different directions. Luo Zheng followed Ruan Jiao and they sat in the carriage, while his subordinates were in charge of driving the carriage.

The five of them hurried all the way, probably more than a thousand miles away, and the horse became tired and refused to leave.

Seeing that it is getting dark, it is obvious that today we have to repair in situ. A few people had no choice but to get out of the car.

Luo Zheng's subordinates were very winking, and immediately went to pick up firewood and lit the fire.

At this time, there is no chance to pay attention to the defense of men and women. After all, just experienced something like that tonight.

Everyone was in no mood to eat.

Fortunately, in order to deal with emergencies on the road, they all brought dry food.

Mother Pei boiled some hot water, and planned to deal with it casually tonight.

Luo Zheng took a deep look at Ruan Jiao and the three of them, and brought up the topic just now.

Pei Zhiheng didn't speak, and added some firewood to the fire.

Ruan Jiao took out the dry food and handed it to Mother Pei.

Seeing that none of the three of them agreed, Luo Zheng took out two silver notes of one thousand taels.

Not only Mother Pei's attention was attracted, but Ruan Jiao also looked over.

Luo Zheng coughed twice, and wiped away the blood from his lips, "I know I shouldn't bring these vulgar things out, but I really don't have anything else on me. If you go to the capital at this time, it may be difficult to find a house. When I arrive in the capital, I can give you one of my small courtyards as a gift. Besides, isn’t Sanlang going to take the exam? I was also a probationer back then, and along the way, if Sanlang has anything academically, you can ask me.”

Ruan Jiao's expression moved slightly, and she glanced at Luo Zheng.

——"Has this person been mentioned in the original book? Is it reliable? If what he said is true, it seems that it is not impossible. Even if there is danger, if there is one more of him, I can't protect it!"

Hearing this, Pei Zhiheng glanced at Ruan Jiao, and there was a hint of tears in his eyes.

For two thousand taels, she was actually bought off.

It seems that in the future, he still has to learn how to make more money.

Pei's mother was actually a little moved. After all, their family of three went to Beijing, and the cost was estimated to be not small.

But after hesitating for a while, she still refused, "No, it's too dangerous."

Luo Zheng wanted to fight again, but he also knew that he was a burden now.

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth hard, and handed a tightly wrapped thing in his hand to Pei Zhiheng, "Since I can't go with you, then please bring the thing to the capital and send it to Pei Zhiheng. In the hands of Lord Zhao, Jingzhao Yin."

Luo Zheng's eyes had a bit of solemnity and determination, "I know that you know me, and the only people I have met today are us. You take these things and walk in another way, I will take people to avoid you, They will also arrange people to keep you safe all the way in secret.”

Pei Zhiheng looked at Luo Zheng and didn't answer.

Luo Zheng knew that he was waiting for his explanation, but he didn't say too much, "It's better that you don't know what it is. In short, it's a major matter related to the country and society, and I really have no choice but to... …”

Pei Zhiheng lowered his eyes, "Lord Luo should keep such an important thing by himself, and easily hand it over to a stranger. Isn't Mrs. Luo afraid that the things that are exchanged for this life will fall into the hands of people who shouldn't take it?"

"I believe you." Luo Zheng looked at Pei Zhiheng with a serious tone.

He held it for a long time, his arms were really weak, and the cloth wrapped was ignited by sparks.

Ruan Jiao's eyes widened suddenly, "It's..."

Luo Zheng's expression changed, and he no longer cared about keeping secrets, so he quickly pulled away the cloth and beat Mars.

The fire burned extremely fast, but luckily he took out the ledger in time.

Ruan Jiao looked at the ledger in his hand, her eyes were a little stunned, and she suddenly looked at Pei Zhiheng, "This...?"

Luo Zheng suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, "Have you seen it?"

Pei Zhiheng: "We also have the same ledger."

Ruan Jiao looked at him in astonishment, "Can this be said?"

Pei Zhiheng chuckled, "It's okay, I have heard of Lord Luo's reputation before. He is a good official who serves the country and the people. Your Lord believes in us, and I also believe in your Lord."

After he finished speaking, he took the ledger out of the carriage that he didn't know what to do with it.

Luo Zheng glanced at it with a serious expression, "Can I ask, where did you get this ledger?"

Pei Zhiheng glanced at Ruan Jiao, "Lord Luo was there that day, when she was in the cottage, Jiao Niang accidentally picked up a beautiful box, and when she opened it, she found that it turned out to be an account book."

Luo Zheng: "..."

Pick up... to?

Such an important thing, who would put it away casually, he believed in their evil!

...

After getting the ledger that Pei Zhiheng handed over, Luo Zheng found out that what he had worked so hard to get turned out to be fake.

His eyes reddened at the thought of so many people who had died.

Since there are two books, Luo Zheng intends to take the plan and let people take back the fake one.

The sound of the east and the west, so that can really bring it back to Beijing.

Mother Pei was originally unwilling to agree. After all, in her heart, the safety of Pei Zhiheng and Ruan Jiao was the most important thing.

But in the end, I don't know what Pei Zhiheng said to her, but Mother Pei, who had strongly resisted, agreed.

After all, it is not very convenient for five people, and I originally planned to buy another carriage in the town ahead.

It turned out that after Luo Zheng's subordinates went to investigate the situation, they found something wrong.

The city has already set up the Tianluodi net to wait for them to enter the net.

This town is the only way to enter Beijing. No matter which way they change, they will definitely go here.

Luo Zheng sighed, "Forget it, maybe it's my fate."

He took out the real ledger and gave it to Pei Zhiheng, "So as I said before, I brought the fake ledger to the net, and you bring the real one to the capital to find..."

He hadn't spoken yet, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Mother Pei.

He didn't react until he changed his clothes and played a family of four with Ruan Jiao.

He couldn't help but secretly looked at Mother Pei, who was sitting beside him with a sullen face.

Mother Pei glared at him with a cold face, "What are you looking at? Look at it again, and gouge out your eyes! If it wasn't for the sake of your being a good official, I wouldn't help you!"

The news of Pei's father's death came, and Pei's mother, as a widow, should remarry.

But Pei's mother herself was unwilling, and neither did the Pei family's disciplined faction.

In addition, the barracks had not been able to report for a long time due to the lack of wages, and it was not the people from the imperial court who passed the news.

So Pei's mother was left behind and could not be forcibly married off.

Father Pei's household registration has not been cancelled.

But everyone knew that Father Pei was really dead.

There is a lot of right and wrong in front of the widow, she is still good-looking, naturally she is not really a soft bun, anyone can bully her.

She is fierce, and she is still very intimidating.

It's a pity, don't know if it was because of pretending to be a family of four, Luo Zheng was glared at by her, but her ears were red.

Because of the precarious situation of being assassinated, Luo Zheng has lost weight in the past six months, and he has become a lot rougher. Ruan Jiao used Luo Dai to simply modify his outline and eyebrows, and put on a coarse cloth. He is quite different from the past. of.

Staring at Father Pei's name, although he encountered several assassinations along the way, most of the time he was safe and sound.

In this way, Luo Zheng's feelings of regret every time he rose up, should not have implicated Pei Zhiheng and the others, disappeared instantly.

After every assassination attempt, he couldn't help but look at Pei Zhiheng enviously.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

Such a daughter-in-law gives a full sense of security, okay?

Compared with a few months ago, he feels that the life he is living now is a human life.

Eating the excellent meals cooked by Pei's mother, and teaching Pei Zhiheng, an extremely smart student, although he still spends most of his time eating and sleeping, Luo Zheng has visibly gained weight.

A few months later, when he arrived in the capital, his complexion was already ruddy, and his body was back to normal.

Luo Zheng was actually a little guilty. After all, without him, Ruan Jiao and the others would never have encountered so many assassinations.

Although those assassinations in front of Ruan Jiao are like children playing house.

However, in order to prevent them from being involved more deeply and being implicated, Luo Zheng did not go with them.

His people came to respond, and there will be no major danger in the future.

But he was a little dawdling and didn't want to separate.

He glanced at Pei's mother hesitantly, but he still didn't say anything, sighed, and told Pei Zhiheng, "Go to the capital and take this token to Beiyang Study to find the steward, then they will be able to arrange a place for you. This is my thank you for the care you have given me all the way, and I must accept it!"

Mother Pei gave him a fierce face immediately, "You don't need to arrange what we do, just prepare the money, and treat it as if we don't know each other when we meet in the future!"

When Luo Zheng heard this, instead of being angry, he even laughed.

Some looked at Pei's mother helplessly, touched the tip of his nose, coughed lightly, and then bowed his hands politely to thank Pei's mother earnestly.

Ruan Jiao couldn't help but yell at Pei Zhiheng, "Have you noticed that Mother always has a very bad temper when she meets Lord Luo?"

During this period of time, Pei Zhiheng's favorability towards her was stuck at 99% again, and she couldn't find any reason for a while, and since there had been no fluctuations in her favorability for a long time, she decided to lie flat, whatever. , I am ready to accompany him to the general examination and palace examination.

Although Pei Zhiheng still had a smile on his face, the gentleness in his eyes had disappeared. He took a deep look at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng suddenly felt cold all over, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't back down, but forced his face to tighten, and said seriously, "Then I'll wait for you in the capital!"

The three of them didn't make arrangements for those who went to him as Luo Zheng said.

He gave a total of three thousand taels of silver before and after, which was enough, not to mention he also taught Pei Zhiheng his studies on the way.

However, the price of goods in the capital is really expensive, Mother Pei gritted her teeth, and chose a good location and rented a small courtyard with a single family.

They went to Beijing at the end of August, but were delayed for various reasons, and finally arrived at the end of the year.

The whole family was already exhausted. After finding a house, the three of them didn't cook, but went directly to the restaurant for a meal.

When they left the restaurant, Ruan Jiao's veiled hat was hung up, causing her face to be exposed, and the complexion of a handsome man who was facing her changed abruptly, with an almost unconcealable astonishment on his face.

The middle-aged man standing next to him subconsciously followed his gaze and looked at Ruan Jiao because of his gaffe.

Seeing this, he was stunned.

But Ruan Jiao had already put on the veiled hat again.

Pass them by with Pei Zhiheng.

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, "Wait!"

Ruan Jiao didn't stop walking, but the guards beside the middle-aged man suddenly blocked the way of Ruan Jiao and the three of them.

Pei Zhiheng's gaze fell on the middle-aged man's face, and he instantly recognized his identity. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stood in front of Ruan Jiao.

Seeing that he was so nervous, the middle-aged man smiled, and said in a hearty voice, "Don't be so nervous, I just think this lady looks familiar, and I want to ask if you are from the Lin family in Nanxun?"

"No." Although Pei Zhiheng had a respectful face, he was neither humble nor overbearing, "The student's wife is just an ordinary person, and she dare not climb the Lin family in Nanxun."

"Oh, that's it!" The smile on the middle-aged man's face remained the same, "Probably I made a mistake. Are you the candidate for the test in Beijing?"

He took a careful look at Pei Zhiheng, with a look of surprise on his face, "It's really strange, seeing you as a young man, the old man even feels a little familiar, have we met before?"

Everyone: "..."

If they didn't know that this person was Yong'an Bo, everyone would have suspected him, he is an old apprentice, seeing the young couple's good looks, he was moved!

Pei Zhiheng answered with a certain degree of advance and retreat. Seeing that they had never met, Yong'an Bo showed regret and some doubts.

"It seems that this old man is destined to be with you." He glanced at his tense son from the corner of his eye, "If you have anything to do, you can go to the uncle's house. I will go back and tell the housekeeper. Even if the old man is not here, I can help you." busy."

Hearing this, everyone gasped and looked at Pei Zhiheng enviously.

Pei Zhiheng's eyes were always light, even after hearing his words, he was not moved at all.

Just looking at his demeanor, Yong'anbo gave him a high look.

But because of his son's abnormality, after returning to the mansion, he still sent someone to check the identities of Pei Zhiheng and Ruan Jiao.

After this investigation, it was found that his son Feng Yuzhang had sent out several groups of secret guards recently.

After those people went out, they never came back.

Now there are almost not many people left who he sent to protect his son.

Although the traces had been erased, the person his good son wanted to kill happened to be Ruan Jiao.

Yong'an Bo suddenly sneered.

Some time ago, Luo Zheng, who was originally on the death list, suddenly returned to Beijing.

On the surface, the Duke of Zhen's mansion looked a little flustered, but in fact, the news that Luo Zheng had cleverly borrowed Pei Zhiheng's family to help him enter the capital had already fallen into the hands of the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

He came to Beijing with a fake account book, which was exactly what Duke Zhen wanted.

No one wants to get involved in the battle between the princelings and the second princelings.

His good son is good, and he took the initiative to send him to the door to take the blame.

But he knew this son, and he didn't have the guts to intercept and kill the imperial envoy.

But Ruan Jiao and the others are just a village girl, so it's not worthy of his son's precautions.

Thinking of Ruan Jiao's face that was exactly the same as his wife's, his eyes darkened.

Ruan Jiao didn't know that she was missed just by meeting her face to face.

She and Pei's mother were wandering around a grocery store in the capital.

The end of the new year was approaching, and their family had just entered the capital, and they hadn't prepared anything yet.

It's time to get ready for the New Year. Get everything ready. The family will spend this New Year in the capital.

Thinking that this might be the last New Year she spent with Pei Mu and Pei Zhiheng, Ruan Jiao was very serious this time.

And also very seriously made a pair of underwear for the two of them, intending to use it as a New Year's gift.

Because she wanted to give them a surprise, Ruan Jiao did it secretly.

Pei Zhiheng didn't know that she was going to make clothes for him.

When was caught off guard and heard her voice outside the door, the corners of her mouth in surprise couldn't restrain herself from rising.

Then he heard:

"Hey, it's so hard to make clothes. I originally wanted to make a pair of socks for Pei Zhiheng to practice hands, but it turned out to be just one pair of socks. Why did I lose three needles."

- "What about a needle as big as me? How can it disappear in the blink of an eye!"

- "Oops! Shouldn't it fall into a sock? Forget it, if there is a needle, he should be able to feel it and stop looking for it! It would be nice to make him a sock! He should thank me!"

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

Pei Zhiheng: "..."

Thank you:)
