Ma'am, do you dare to answer?

Qin Yun, who came back from Qin Jian's visit, sat blankly in front of "Liang Yin", when Lian Yan left in a hurry, the piano left in the small building, a precious ancestral thing, she just casually discarded it.Qin Yun was in a daze, just now Qin Jian was still asking about Lian Yan, Qin Yun smiled and fooled it, but her heart was not sure, she asked Qin Jian's purpose of keeping Lian Yan several times, but Qin Jian vaguely passed it on, and simply Also no longer ask.

Qin Jian's illness did not recover after a few days of rest as the doctor said. Qin Yun looked at his heart-piercing cough and always felt that he would not be able to hold it any longer. This kind of cognition made Qin Yun Afraid, and more and more afraid to tell the news that Lian Yan has gone down the mountain, let's keep it a secret for now, it won't be too late to say it when Qin Jian is in better health.

She comforted herself like this, but time didn't give her a chance.

Hua'er led Xiao Shitou in hurriedly. Qin Yun was already a little restless, but she couldn't help scolding, "What are you doing in such a panic?"

"Miss, Ouyang Lu has brought people down the mountain!" Xiao Shitou said with a pale face, "The officers and soldiers have already surrounded us!"

"What?!" Qin Yun was startled, and stood up: "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Xiao Shitou said with a bitter face, "Mr. Xia has brought people down the mountain now, and, moreover, the head of the family already knows."

"Know what?" Qin Yun's face was not very good: "Does my father know about Lian Zijin's departure?"

"I probably don't know about this." Xiao Shitou said: "There is a commotion in the cottage, the head of the family heard the movement, and he will know everything by asking."

Qin Yun supported the table with an ugly expression on her face.She regretted taking Lian Yan away, the man just went down the mountain with his front foot, and the officers and soldiers surrounded Zicui Mountain with his back foot, he really didn't care about the slightest bit of affection!

"Go and have a look."

The cottage was already on high alert. Qin Yun followed the small stone along the rugged path to find Xia Qingshan's location. Through the dead trees, she could see that the soldiers in military uniforms had already set up camp at the foot of the mountain. She looked around Lian Zijin was not seen, only Ouyang Lu's fair face was swaying around and pointing out a few patrols. Seeing how they were waiting in full force, Qin Yun knew that this time things might not be so easy.

The imperial court had also suppressed bandits several times before, but Zicui Mountain was tightly defended, and they had to give up if they couldn't conquer it several times.But Ouyang Lu is different. Ouyang Lu made it clear this time that he was targeting Jacui Mountain. Qin Yun subconsciously held her breath. She always felt that there was something different. His attitude should be even more hostile, which is completely different from other bandits!

"Uncle Xia." Qin Yun squatted beside Xia Qingshan, and asked in a low voice, "When did they come? Are there officers and soldiers guarding Wang Daya's cottage?"

Xia Qingshan looked quite dignified, turned his face to see Qin Yun, and scolded in a low voice: "Who told you to come? The boss is getting more and more presumptuous regardless of you. Go back!"

"I don't!" Qin Yun turned her face displeased and said, "It must be that Lian Zijin. She walked forward, and the people from the court came behind her. She didn't care about us! Uncle Xia, let them go!" Call back, let that little boy Ouyang Lu taste the pain, and then kill Lian Zijin's prestige."

"Yun'er." Xia Qingshan looked at the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain: "This time, it's not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Seeing Xia Qingshan's abnormal expression, Qin Yun quickly asked: "Is it really only our cottage? Didn't the court just come with a general? How capable is it? I don't believe they can really capture it." Hiding Cui Mountain."

"Their strength is much stronger than we thought." Xia Qingshan sighed and stood up and said to his confidants: "Notify the brothers to strictly guard, change shifts, and report any changes at the foot of the mountain immediately."

Then he pulled Qin Yun up and said to her, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"I'll be with you, Uncle Xia." Qin Yun said in a low voice, "My father already knows what happened at the bottom of the mountain."

Xia Qingshan paused, rubbed the top of Qin Yun's head, and said kindly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the master. I just want to talk about it. The master has experienced many battles, maybe he can see something backing."

Although Qin Yun didn't really want to go, she couldn't resist Xia Qingshan's insistence, so she had to move back.Just arrived at the cottage when someone reported that Qin Jian had been waiting for them for a long time, looking at Qin Yun with sympathy in his eyes, Qin Yun huddled beside Xia Qingshan, moving step by step unwillingly.

"It's okay, the head of the family is also for your own good, just be more obedient." Looking at Qin Yun's wrinkled face, Xia Qingshan comforted him: "Okay, I will help you."

"Thank you, Uncle Xia." Qin Yun smiled immediately, put her arms around Xia Qingshan's arm and said coquettishly: "I knew that Uncle Xia loved me the most, so Uncle Xia will help me hide the matter of Zijin. Now the cottage It's really troublesome, so I don't need to let my father know about such a trivial matter, after he recovers from his illness, I will go to receive the punishment myself."

"Lian Zijin's matter is not that simple." Xia Qingshan shook his head: "The head of the family must have his own ideas to lead her up the mountain. Now that she is gone, it is difficult for you and me to explain."

"Then I won't explain it, I'm his daughter, and I don't believe he can still blame me for Lian Zijin." Qin Yun pouted, feeling very guilty in her heart.

It would be fine if Lian Zijin was an outsider, but what if she wasn't?Isn't it because of that little if that she insisted on Lian Zijin leaving?

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, Qin Jian sat in front of the desk, his face was very pale, resting did not bring him more health, but took away his little anger, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times Only then did they hear the door knock, and looked at Qin Yun who was following Xia Qingshan, and sighed silently.

"Yun'er, didn't daddy tell you to practice the piano with Mrs. Lian, what did you do running down the mountain?" He didn't know the nature of this daughter, but he hoped to do his best to teach Qin Yun, so that he could be worthy of the underground people.

"I, I didn't do anything." Qin Yun moved her lips: "I heard that the officers and soldiers are at the foot of the mountain, so I don't feel relieved to go and have a look."

"With your Uncle Xia here, what are you worried about?" Qin Jian sighed: "I can't tell you how many times, and you should listen to your master more in the future. Don't run around, the mountain is not peaceful, your safety is the only one." Most importantly, you know?"

"Understood." Qin Yun responded nonchalantly, huddled beside Xia Qingshan and stopped talking.

"Qingshan, what's the situation under the mountain?" Qin Jian frowned: "Why did the government suddenly send troops?" Lian Yan is still here, even if he wants to raise troops, he should wait until Lian Yan leaves.He glanced at Qin Yun again before beckoning her to come and sit down.

Originally, he didn't want Qin Yun to get involved in the affairs of the cottage, but now it's no different than other times, maybe this will be the last time, after rubbing Qin Yun's hair, Qin Jian said: "Listen obediently, wait a while Go back and tell Master Lian what Dad said, do you understand?"

Qin Yun was taken aback, looked up at Qin Jian, then at Xia Qingshan, then lowered her head silently: "Yun'er knows."

"Qing Shan, tell me."

Xia Qingshan looked at Qin Jian with some concern: "This time Ouyang Lu is here for us. Since this morning, officers and soldiers have begun to enter the mountain, and many people have been sent to guard the road up and down the mountain. They have already Set up camp at the foot of the mountain, there is a possibility of attacking at any time."

"Cough cough." Qin Jian covered her mouth and coughed a few more times: "I'm not afraid of them attacking. Qingshan, you contact Wang Daya and tell him that Jacui Mountain is in the same vein as their cottage. They will be the next one, Wang Daya still understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

Xia Qingshan nodded: "I know, I have already sent someone to contact you."

"That's good." Qin Jian continued: "Ouyang Lu will not go into the mountain for no reason, especially in this kind of cold winter and twelfth lunar month, let Wang Daya inquire about what happened at the bottom of the mountain."

Qin Yun bit her lip, feeling very nervous.Ouyang Lu can't, but Lian Zijin can.She suddenly remembered that she told Lian Zijin yesterday that Miss Guan was dead. Could it be that this sentence made Lian Zijin suspicious and caused today's disaster?

"Father, Yun'er has something to tell Dad." It doesn't matter if she gets angry for a while, she can't delay the important event of Jicui Mountain!

Qin Yun clenched her sleeves tightly, looked at Xia Qingshan for help, and then mustered up her courage to say, "Lian Zijin had already gone down the mountain last night, and I told her that Miss Guan died, maybe it was because of this that the imperial court sent troops. .”

"What?!" Qin Jian looked at Qin Yun and asked incredulously, "Why did she leave? What nonsense are you talking to her?"

"Father, I didn't do it on purpose." Seeing Qin Jian's face change instantly, Qin Yun panicked for a moment: "She is from the imperial court, and I was afraid that she would be bad for Jicui Mountain, so I wanted to warn her. I didn't expect She will turn her face, she tied me up, I can't get angry, so I want to use words to provoke her."

Xia Qingshan's expression also changed: "Did you tell her that Miss Guan died?"

"Yeah." Qin Yun lowered her head: "She asked me about Miss Guan's whereabouts, and even threatened me with a knife. At that time, I just wanted to anger her. Miss Guan is dead, no matter how anxious she is, she can't save anyone. .”

"Miss Guan is dead? What's going on?" Qin Jian pressed the table, her lips darkened, "What are you hiding from me? Tell me!" The table trembled slightly under Qin Jian's force.

Qin Yun wanted to speak, but Xia Qingshan preempted her and said, "That day, the head of the family was ill, so I decided on my own. The body of the lady from the Guan family was thrown in the back of our mountain. I took someone to bury the body. Xiao Shizui, tell me quickly. Except for the eldest lady, no one knows about the rest."

"Lian Zijin has gone down the mountain now?" Qin Jian calmed down and asked, "Is that man's body buried in the back mountain?"

"Yes." Xia Qingshan nodded: "According to what the eldest lady said, it is very likely that Ouyang Lu sent troops because of this matter."

Qin Jian sighed: "Go and clean up the corpse, you must not stay in Jaicui Mountain."

Then he said to Qin Yun: "Lian Zijin is a member of the court, but she is also the only one who can save you. Yun'er, dad can't protect you forever, only she can protect you forever, do you understand?"

"But why?" Qin Yun was puzzled, looking at Qin Jian's dirty eyes, she couldn't see clearly, it was like a chaotic world, and that world was too big for her.
