"Don't say anything, I don't mean any harm." The other party whispered.
No malice? This was the most horrifying thing Xia Houshu had heard recently. She didn't believe a word of it. In the middle of the night, he sneaked into her bedroom secretly, avoiding her guards. He even said he didn't have any malice.
?Then what is malice?
Faced with violent subjugation, Xia Houshu was not a person who would give in easily. She used her uncontrolled left elbow to push hard into the opponent's waist and abdomen. She quickly broke away from his shackles while he was dodging and launched a counterattack.
But after only two moves, he was controlled by the opponent again.
She was shocked, looked up at him in surprise and said, "Don't you know how to do martial arts?"
Qi Nan smiled and said, "I never said I didn't know martial arts."
Haven't you said it before? Xia Houshu carefully recalled everything that happened since they met, especially when they were at Huguo Temple. Although he had a calm mind in times of crisis, he never took action in the face of so many assassins' attacks.
He fought back, and his arm was injured by the assassin. So she took it for granted that he didn't know martial arts. It was also because of this that she was forced to get involved in that big fight and got into trouble with them.
The more Xia Houshu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said angrily: "When you were at Huguo Temple, you obviously didn't know how to do martial arts!"
Qinan thought for a while and said without any guilt: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I was seriously injured at the shoulder blade and was drugged, so I couldn't use it at all. So, you misunderstood."
"You liar!" Xia Houshu didn't care at all whether he was really unable to perform martial arts due to injury. "You never admitted that you knew martial arts, but you didn't deny it either!"
"Is this important?" Qi Nan asked. He couldn't understand why Xia Houshu would insist on this. To himself, it made no difference. Could it be that when she knew that she could actually do martial arts, she wouldn't
Did you help?
"Important!" Xia Houshu said bitterly. She had regretted saving him for a long time, but now that she knew he was a martial artist, she felt regretful.
She thought for a while and then said: "But it's not important!"
Qinan's face was full of confusion after hearing this.
"The main thing is to look at the person!" Xia Houshu added.
"That's it." Qi Nan raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but look at Xia Houshu again, but immediately looked back as if he had been stabbed.
Xia Houshu had just gotten out of the bathtub in a hurry. He didn't have time to wipe his body. His hair was wet, and his clothes were soaked with water. The curves of his whole body were looming, and he looked unattractive.
Realizing this, Xia Houshu immediately screamed. Although Qi Nan had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly covered her mouth, her previous screams still spread outside, and the five guards on duty immediately came from several directions.
Rush to the house where they are.
In desperation, Qi Nan suddenly said: "Miss Xiahou, if others see what we are like now, it will not be helpful to your reputation!"
So what? Xia Houshu struggled desperately unconvinced. Those who followed were all her own people. In this situation, if she didn't ask her own people for help, how could she believe him, a liar with evil intentions?
Qi Nan couldn't defeat her, so he had to use his trump card and whispered: "Chu Li'an is also outside. You know his abilities. Your people are no match for him."
Despicable and shameless! Worse than a beast! Xia Houshu cursed secretly. But at the same time, she also understood another thing - her people are currently unscathed. This is good news.
It's not that our own people are not strong enough, but that the enemy is too strong and arrogant.
Outside the door, Guard Liao knew that Xia Houshu was taking a bath, so he couldn't just barge in. He knocked on the door and asked, "Miss Third, are you okay? What happened? Is it convenient for us to come in?"
Xia Houshu wanted to say that she was very bad, but she swallowed her words again. Qin Nan just said that Chu Li'an was also here, and then thought of the scene when Chu Li'an killed more than a dozen well-trained killers in Huguo Temple,
She had to be that handsome man who knew the current affairs. Then she set her sights on Qin Nan. This man could sneak in without the eyes and ears of the guards, and his martial arts skills were not bad, even better than hers. From this point of view, she would have to
You should be more careful with him. It's too dangerous!
Guard Liao was still beating the door vigorously. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he had no choice but to continue shouting: "Miss Third, if you don't speak, we will break in!"
Hearing this, Xia Houshu's heart tightened, and he immediately hinted to Qinan with his eyes that if he didn't say anything, people outside would definitely break the door and break in. It would be no good to anyone if the matter got too big. If he didn't want to lose both sides,
Just let her go first.
Qi Nan didn't want to make things worse, so he let her go directly.
He was so quick and confident that Xia Houshu was really not sure of his thoughts. She thought for a while and then said to Guard Liao and others outside: "I'm still taking a bath, it's not convenient. Please don't leave me."
Come in. I have nothing to do here. I just saw a mouse and was frightened. You can go back first." After that, she thought for a moment and then said, "Let Yun Xi come in later."
Only by calling one more person in can she be protected.
Liao Huwei was still a little skeptical at first, but when he heard that Xia Houshu wanted Yun Xi to go in, he felt relieved, so he took the people away and went to call Yun Xi.
Yunxi and the others were also taking a bath. When they heard the knocking on the door outside, they thought something had happened. They were all frightened and got up quickly to put on their clothes, with their hair disheveled. Then they heard Guard Liao say that Xia Houshu was just attacked by a rat.
I was scared, but felt a little relieved, and quickly went back to my room to comb my hair.
In the main room, Qi Nan looked at Xia Houshu and chuckled: "You are really smart. If you know how to call more people in, I won't do anything to you. But, what did you mean when you said you were scared by the mouse?"
Xia Houshu did not deny her small thoughts, but she did not want to explain the second half of his sentence. She said coldly: "It means literally. If you don't understand, forget it."
He didn't understand Qinan, he just didn't like being described as a "mouse" by her, but the current situation was not the time to care about this, so he was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
The alarm had been lifted. Xia Houshu put away his dagger and asked him with a straight face: "Why are you here? I was taking a bath just now. Are you..."
Have you seen everything?
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything." Qin Nan explained very sincerely, "I didn't know you were taking a bath in advance. When I came in, you were already in there, and there was no one around to serve you. And your
Those guards are not ordinary people. It was not easy for me to come in and leave rashly, so I stood outside waiting for you. But you didn't come out. I was worried that you fell asleep, so I deliberately made a noise and caused a stir.
Your attention."
"Is everything you said true?" Xia Houshu was half-convinced. But he was muttering in his mind that even if I wasn't taking a bath, could you sneak in at night?
"It's absolutely true!" Qin Nan said seriously.
"But why should I believe a liar?" Xia Houshu didn't trust him at all. I'm afraid no normal person would believe an unknown and elusive person.
"Then what do you want me to say?" Qi Nan frowned slightly, looking a little helpless, "Do you want me to say that I saw everything?"
"Do you have any sense of shame?" Xia Houshu was so angry that his teeth itched.
Qinan stopped arguing with her and solemnly stated again that he really didn't see anything.
Xia Houshu still maintained his doubts about him, but he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he asked again: "You didn't answer me just now, why are you here?"
Qin Nan did not speak, but took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully in front of her. Inside was the gold leaf he insisted on giving to her last time in Nanpu Study, but it was later given to her.
She returned it to Shopkeeper Cui.
Xia Houshu was extremely shocked. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at the golden leaf with the other hand and said in disbelief: "Is it because of this?"
Qin Nan nodded and said: "I said this is for you, and it is also a promise I made to you. Since you accepted it, you should abide by our agreement. But you turned around and handed it to Shopkeeper Cui, and returned
Ask him to return it to me, so I can only send it to you again."
What does keeping an agreement mean? Did she accept it voluntarily? If she hadn't pretended to accept it at that time, would he have let her go easily? She didn't even want to see him again, so how could she willingly accept his things? So they
There is a fart agreement between us!
"Just because of a broken leaf, you followed me here from the capital, and then sneaked into my room in the middle of the night to threaten me?" Xia Houshu couldn't bear it, "Are you not mentally ill?"
Seeing her angry look, Qinan also realized his problem and gradually fell silent. He didn't know how to explain the original intention of his series of actions, but he did do it again and again.
It aroused the other party's resentment.
"Miss Xiahou, I just hope you accept it." Qinan said with difficulty but sincerely.
Xia Houshu didn't want to waste any more words with him. He pointed at the door and said, "Can you disappear in front of me quickly? I really don't want to see you again for a moment!"
Qi Nan's expression was a little surprised and lost, and there was even a chill in his eyes.
Xia Houshu refused to give an inch and stared at him fiercely.
It was as if there was a boundary between Chu, He and Han, and even the air seemed to be frozen. No one was willing to take a step forward, but no one was willing to take a step back.
It happened that Yun Xi knocked on the door outside and said, "Girl, have you finished washing? I'm in!"
Xia Houshu urgently needed to divert his attention and distract himself from his anger, so he said: "You heard me, my people are coming in, do you want to continue to stand here?"
After saying that, she ignored Qinan's reaction and boldly walked to the door, opening it for Yunxi herself. When she turned around again, the lights in the room were flickering, and Qinan's figure had disappeared. And in the middle
On the round table, there was a square handkerchief, with the gold leaf trailing inside the handkerchief.
Xia Houshu felt angry and helpless, secretly cursing this man for being so stubborn!
Yun Xi also saw the golden leaf, and immediately the alarm went off, asking: "Why is that thing here? Girl, didn't you return it to Shopkeeper Cui?"
Xia Houshu didn't know how to explain it to make Yun Xi feel at ease, so he said, "He's been sent back again."
"Sent him back?" Yun Xi thought about her words carefully, "When did it happen? You haven't gone out much recently. When did you see him? Could it be that just now...how dare he!"
Xia Houshu was worried that her voice would be too loud and reach Liao Huwei's ears, causing unnecessary trouble. He quickly reached out to cover her mouth and whispered softly: "Keep your voice down, don't let people outside hear it. If
As you can see, he did come here just now and said some inexplicable words. But don't worry, in my opinion, he won't do anything to me. You can go out and tell Guard Liao later and ask them to be more vigilant at night and not let go.
