Liu Qinghan glanced at us calmly, took a step back, and slowly turned sideways.

I opened my eyes wide in panic, and then I saw that on his bed, there was a bag lifted up from the quilt, and there was also a blanket on the couch next to it, most of which had fallen to the ground.

I felt like I had stopped breathing, and then I saw the high-arched quilt squirming, and slowly, like a chicken coop, my head came out of it. I saw Li'er sitting cross-legged on the quilt,

Rubbing his eyes with one hand, he said in a daze: "Uncle Third, what's going on? It's so noisy..."

Li'er! She's fine!

A big stone suddenly fell in my heart, and I hurriedly walked over and hugged her: "Li'er!"

Before she woke up, she was suddenly held in my arms. She was a little confused. She was stunned for a long time before softly saying: "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Just be okay, be okay!

I almost thanked God and muttered silently in my mind, looking down at her little face that was flushed with sleep, I felt that all the panic I had just felt was gone in an instant, so I smiled: "It's okay, Mom just came over to see you.

Did you sleep well?"

"Well..." She thought vaguely: "I fell asleep, and I didn't even finish the story that my third uncle just told me."

"What story?"

"...forgot."

I couldn't help but smile. When I turned around, I saw two men standing at the door looking at us. Both were dressed in white and had long hair shawls. However, Pei Yuanxiu had a gentle smile, while Liu Qinghan's face

But it seems that it’s because of that mask that I’m still a little chilly even now.

He looked at us again, turned around and walked out.

Li'er seemed to have realized something at this moment and said to me: "Mom, what happened?"

"It's okay." I gently stroked her hair: "You continue to sleep, mother is here to watch over you."

"What about third uncle?"

"He'll be back soon."

She blinked her eyes, as if she was still a little confused, but she was really sleepy. She said "hmm" and retracted into the bed. I carefully covered her with the quilt and gave Pei Yuanxiu a wink. He nodded.

Then he exited and closed the door. The room became quiet again, and he could only hear some small voices coming from outside, but it couldn't disturb the girl. After a while, she fell asleep peacefully.

I have been guarding her. Although it was a false alarm just now, the thought of what danger might come near or hurt her still makes my heart beat uncontrollably.

After a long time, the inn was still peaceful. I was sure that the thieves would not come back. I finally breathed a small sigh of relief and carefully got off the couch. As soon as I stood up, I saw that half of the thieves had fallen on the bed.

I picked up the blanket on the ground and put it back again before walking to the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw two attendants outside the door. When they saw me coming out, they both cautiously saluted me: "Madam."<

/p>

I whispered: "Protect Miss Li."

"Yes."

At this time, the lights all over the inn had been lit, illuminating the place brightly, and you could clearly see the scene in the lobby downstairs. It was simply terrible, with tables overturned, chairs overturned, and broken dishes and vases scattered on the floor. There were already several people there.

After chasing them out, Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanxiu stood aside, looking at the big hole that was smashed in the window.

I went downstairs and saw the mess in the lobby, so I walked slowly over.

Pei Yuanxiu turned around and saw me and said, "How is Li'er?"

"She fell asleep and she didn't know what happened."

"Well, don't worry."

He nodded, stretched out his hand to hold my hand and pulled me over. The clothes on my body were still relatively clean, but I got up in the middle of the night and suffered the same fright. My hands and feet were cold, but his palms were warm.

, and also made me less chilly.

Liu Qinghan kept looking at the big hole in the window, and it wasn't until I came to Pei Yuanxiu that he seemed to react and looked back at me.

At this glance, it’s a little long.

However, before I could react, he turned his head again and continued to look at the big hole in the wall.

The moonlight came in and shone on the half of the mask on his face, shining with a faint cold light, which almost blended with his cold eyes. I didn't understand why his attitude changed so much before and after, and he was still serious.

I was confused, and suddenly thought of something, and my heart skipped a beat.

Just now, I called him——Qinghan!

Because I was worried about Li'er, I accidentally called him by his name.

After he lost his memory, his relationship with me has been ups and downs. There have been bad times, and there have been relaxations. However, that little bit of alienation has always existed between us, which made him believe that he and I did not have a deeper relationship, but

The call he just made out of desperation... I don't know if he suspects anything.

For a moment, my heart, which had been slightly relaxed, became tense again.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also walked over and looked out the window. There was silence outside. It was almost impossible to see anything in the dark street. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was left. As he looked, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to be careless.

Said: "Didn't Mr. Liu hear the loud noise outside just now?"

"I heard it."

"Then why did Master Liu remain silent and didn't open the door until we came to call?"

"Li'er is by my side. I was worried that opening the door would attract thieves, so I didn't move." As he said that, he glanced at me, then turned to look at the hole, and said, "Li'er isn't scared, right?"

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that he was asking me, and coughed lightly: "It's okay. She was sleeping deeply."

"Oh."

No one spoke for the next time, and the inn became quiet. Only a few barks of dogs came from outside occasionally, which made the sudden silence of the night even more strange.

After a while, the people who were chasing him came back.

Wen Fengxi had been standing guard in the lobby. As soon as those people came back, they went to report to him. After listening to their low voices for a long time, he turned around and walked towards us.

Liu Qinghan asked: "What's going on?"

"Someone sneaked into the inn late at night and was hit by our people."

"Who? How many people are there?"

"Only one person came in, but it looks like there is support outside, but I don't know which party it is from."

"Caught it?"

Wen Fengxi shook his head.

Liu Qinghan's eyebrows frowned, and the crease between his eyebrows formed the character Sichuan.

Wen Fengxi turned to look at us and said, "Most of the people who came with Mr. Pei today should be from the Yan family, right?"

Pei Yuanxiu nodded: "Yeah."

After that, the four of us fell silent.

It couldn't be someone from Jiangnan, after all, Pei Yuanxiu, Li'er, I were all in this inn; Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi couldn't be either, because it was their people who bumped into the thief; if it was someone from Xichuan who did it,

Their own people have also followed Pei Yuanxiu here, not to mention that they will enter Chengdu tomorrow. It can be said that life and death can be carried out in a matter of seconds. There is no need to do this secretly in the middle of the night.

In other words, besides us, besides Liu Qinghan, besides Xichuan, is there a fourth group of people?

They sneaked into this inn, were bumped into by our people, and then fled in a hurry.

What is their purpose?

Why did you sneak into the inn where we were staying? Who or what was it for?

Pei Yuanxiu looked back at the mess in the lobby, as well as the guards who were waiting for him seriously. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Did General Wen's men fight with the thieves just now?"

"Yes."

"Is anyone hurt?"

Wen Fengxi frowned slightly: "No."

A few of us looked at each other, and Wen Fengxi turned around and said to the guards: "When you fought against the thief, did you find that he had a weapon?"

Those people all shook their heads: "No."

In other words, they are not here to commit murder.

Could it be that you are coming in——

Something suddenly occurred to me, and I stepped on the debris and sawdust on the floor to the center of the lobby. I looked towards the second floor and saw every room above, except for Pei Yuanxiu and I, and Wen Fengxi's room with its door open.

, all other doors are closed.

But there was a room whose door was ajar.

It’s the room where Li’er and I slept before!

I didn't say anything and ran directly upstairs. Several of them followed me upstairs. As soon as I got to the door of the room, I pushed the door open. Although there was no light inside, there was a light in the corridor.

Despite the bright light, I could still see at a glance that someone had come into the room. When Li'er and I left here to find Liu Qinghan, I folded the quilt, but now, the quilt was scattered on the ground.

Are they here for Li'er?!

I just felt like I was in a cold sweat.
