Bewitched

Chapter 5

On September [-]th, the wound on Nanyu's leg formed a scab, and she was almost healed. Finally, Yan Feng lifted the ban on going out.Tomorrow is the date of the visit stated in the invitation letter from Mingyue Building. Yan Feng is fine, but Jiang She is infected by the atmosphere of the Zuo family and becomes nervous together. Seeing Nanyu, he just greeted Nanyu briefly, but did not talk like usual endlessly.But Zuo Zhiming, the eldest son of Zuo, was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and instead comforted him from the sidelines.

Zuo Lizhong was still quite calm, because of Nanyu's leg injury, the banquet that was originally scheduled for the second day was postponed to today.The banquet was placed under the vines in the yard, and the food was served by a young maid. Nan Yu was not interested in the dishes, but she accidentally glanced at the maid, and her eyes were fixed.The little girl lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, and wanted to leave after putting down the dishes.

"This maid looks unfamiliar." Nanyu said suddenly.

Zuo Lizhong was startled, Gai Yin Nanyu was detained by Yan Feng in the house for the past few days, and it was this servant girl who delivered the food. He realized that he put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, and hesitated: "But...?" Without further ado, I only glanced at the bright moon in the sky.

Nanyu didn't speak, and took out a curved silver needle hidden in the pattern from the silver bracelet on her wrist, straightened it, and went to explore it in the vegetables. Everyone watched the top third of the silver needle slowly turn black.This dish is inedible, Nan Yu took out the silver needle and looked it carefully in front of his eyes, and said: "It's not poisonous." He put away the silver needle, dipped his finger in some vegetable juice, put it in his mouth and tasted it For a moment, "It should be the drugs commonly used when extorting confessions that can make people lose their minds.

"That's right, September [-]th, once Haishi is over, it can be regarded as tomorrow." Yan Feng said, "Mingyue Tower has always seldom failed in its actions. If the medicine fails, other means will be used." He turned his head to Zuo Li Zhong said, "Please also invite Zuo Langzhong and his family to stay in the house together. The courtyard is empty. We don't have many people, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to take care of."

"Brother Nan doesn't know martial arts, so stay in the house with Zuo Langzhong's family. I'm bothering Langzhong."

Nanyu nodded.Zuo Lizhong wanted to bring his wife to the backyard first, and Jiang She went with him.Fortunately, his wife was also from the Jianghu, and at this time, she couldn't care less about sticking to the pedantic rules of not seeing outsiders.After the two left, Yan Feng asked Nan Yu again: "Brother Nan, I will let Jiang She stay in the house to protect you, but he is rough, I am afraid you need to be more careful." He took out a bag from his sleeve. Handing the short sword to Nanyu, it seemed that he had prepared it long ago, and solemnly asked, "Protect yourself."

Nanyu took the dagger and pulled out the blade. Seeing the moonlight on the blade, there were bursts of chills. It was obviously extremely sharp. He smiled at Yan Feng, and the corners of his eyes and brows were shining like jade: "Don't worry, I will I will." After saying that, he put the sword into its sheath, and held it in his arms like a baby.

It was night, Nanyu Jiangshe and Zuo Lizhong's family were staying in the main hall together, the place was spacious, Jiang She said that if Yan Feng let one or two in, there would be no place to hide.Mrs. Zuo Zhang wore a curtain, which covered her whole body tightly. Only through the curtain, she could vaguely see her graceful figure and graceful demeanor.She whispered to Zuo Lizhong from time to time, and looked worried, which was quite different from the bold and forthright attitude of ordinary Jianghu women.

Yan Feng was sitting on the roof tiles with his knife in his arms, and not long after the third watch of midnight, an uninvited guest came by night.Yan Feng jumped off the eaves and stood in front of the door, blocking the way of people coming and going.He drew his sword out of its sheath, and quickly fought with the incoming people, one against two without losing the wind.

Everyone in the house heard the sound of swords clashing outside the door, Jiang She hurried to the door, and clenched the folding fan in his hand.Zuo Zhang threw herself into her husband's arms, covered her mouth and sobbed softly.Zuo Lizhong patted his back to appease his wife, with a look of worry on his face.On the contrary, their son, who had been sleeping with Jiang She for a few days, was quite courageous, and he had probably learned some kung fu, so he raised his long sword and stood beside Jiang She.The maid who was dropped was later found to have been drugged, tied up and fainted in the firewood room, and was rescued by Nanyu. At this time, she was shivering in a corner.

Nan Yu glanced at the five people in the room. He was wearing wide sleeves today, and when his arms were lowered, the sleeves covered him from fingertips to arms, like a child stealing an adult's clothes.He lowered his eyes, at this time the overly long sleeves were convenient for him, secretly clasped the gu flute in his hand under the cover of the sleeves.The original maid was found, but the person who pretended to be the maid when delivering the food was nowhere to be found.Is it outside, or inside?

The sound of swords and swords outside the door was louder and louder, and they joined together, Jiang She looked dignified, Zuo Zhang was terrified, couldn't help sobbing and asked: "Master, why are those people staring at our house?"

Zuo Lizhong patted her hand, shook his head and did not speak.

Zuo Zhang pulled out her hand and complained sharply: "If you want money, I still have some dowry, just give it to them! My Lin'er has not yet reached the crown, how can he stand the shadow of a sword!" Once the spikes are retracted, it is still a lovely posture.

Zuo Lizhong showed embarrassment on his face, but he did not reprimand Zuo Zhang.It's just that he is the head of the family, and he should have seen from the incident of prescribing the medicine before that Mingyuelou is not in the business of human life. He naturally has some guesses about what Mingyuelou is asking for. You can't take it out, even if your wife is in danger, you have to protect that thing.

Just at this time, there was a sudden sound of swords and swords outside the door, and another long cry was heard. Everyone in the room seemed to have seen swords clashing with each other. Bite, fangs criss-crossed, sparks burst.

"Master!" Zuo Zhang screamed, and before everyone in the room could react, she had already pounced on Zuo Lizhong. This pounce was extremely fast, like a hawk pounced on a rabbit, and forcibly pulled Zuo Lizhong up from the chair. , Hiding behind Zuo Lizhong, the white fingers stained with Dan Kou were firmly clasped on her master's neck, and the nails sank into the flesh.Her curtain fell in the fluttering movement just now, revealing her face, with slender eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry lips, her eyebrows seemed to be frowning, like cold water in a smoke cage, and there were still wet tears on her white jade cheeks , it is indeed Zuo Zhang's face, even the small mole on the left corner of the lip is exactly the same.

"Mom!" Zuo Zhiming was startled and anxious, "What are you doing!"

Seeing Zuo Zhang's face, Nan Yu sighed, "No wonder you have to wear a curtain."

Jiang She held back Zuo Zhiming who was about to rush forward. He was so nervous before, but now something happened, but he calmed down and opened his fan.

Zuo Zhang didn't pay attention to Zuo Zhiming, but looked at Nanyu carefully, seeing that Nanyu's expression didn't change, she smiled enchantingly, and said: "This young man has good eyesight." The voice was still Zuo Zhang's voice, Coupled with the charming look on his face, it is very inconsistent.

"Since you have already decided to expose yourself, why bother to pretend." Nan Yu replied, her voice was cold and sarcasm.

She sighed, tightened the hand that was holding Zuo Lizhong's neck, and said slowly: "I originally wanted to prescribe medicine, ask the whereabouts of the treasure, and leave after taking it, but you are too smart to enter it." Set." Zuo Lizhong's lifeline was pinched by her in her hand, her eyes turned white, her cheeks were flushed purple, and she grabbed Zuo Zhang's hand tightly with both hands, but that white and bright wrist was as immovable as iron clamps. And Zuo Zhang's eyes turned, as if she felt that the scene was quite interesting, and her smile became more and more charming. She paused for a while, appreciating everyone's expressions, and then continued, "Forcing the slave to pretend to be the wife of this reckless man, who is it?" This hard-hearted man would rather put his wife and children in danger than hand over the property. Are you satisfied with the situation where you are fighting each other?" After she finished speaking, she loosened the strength on her hand, left Lizhong was almost fainted at this time, he coughed and breathed heavily, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he described himself as embarrassed.

"Why are you dissatisfied? I'm afraid Mingyuelou will return empty-handed this time." Nanyu said, "You kidnapped Zuo Langzhong, but you want to find out the whereabouts of things from him. You can't hurt his life. And I guess , Zuo Langzhong will definitely not tell you."

"No, this man will say it." Zuo Zhang smiled slightly, like a poisonous snake finally baring its fangs, with a charm unique to poisonous things, just like dove wine that has always been fragrant and attractive in color, Her demeanor makes people guess that this woman's original face should be extremely beautiful, "Young Xia, have you forgotten? The Zuo Zhang family is still in our hands. You must know that my master and wife have a very good relationship."

Nanyu didn't answer, but looked at Zuo Lizhong. This young man's eyes were black and white, and when his expression was soft, there was water in it, and he always showed a little pitiful expression unconsciously, but at this time he looked unhappy. With a little coldness in his eyes, he looked too clear and cold to allow any shame.

Zuo Lizhong really had a struggling look on his face, he hesitated again and again, his cheeks were tense, his teeth were clenched, and he seemed to be in more pain than when he was suffocated just now, obviously it was extremely difficult to make a decision.At this moment, everyone in the room focused their eyes on Zuo Lizhong, waiting for him to make a decision, but no one noticed that the sound of swords outside the door had stopped.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of planks cracking from the roof, and the broken tiles and cracked wood chips and lime fell together. Yan Feng jumped from the roof and went straight to Zuo Zhang's!At the same time, Jiang She moved upon hearing the sound, closed the fan in his hand, and Quan threw out the folding fan as a hidden weapon, hitting Zuo Zhang's arm holding Zuo Lizhong directly, and he also rushed forward!

Zuo Zhang was about to flash in shock, but was blocked by Yan Feng. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward, raised her hand and poured her inner strength into her wide sleeve, ready to take this hidden weapon. Jiang She lost her weapon, and she must be better than Yan Feng Much more to deal with.However, the twelve ribs of the folding fan are all inlaid with fine iron, and Jiang She threw it with all his strength, how could it be so easy to catch it?She wanted to protect Zuo Lizhong again, and her footsteps became a bit awkward. This moment was enough for Yan Feng to grab the shoulder of the beauty snake, and the blade reached her back.

She pushed Zuo Lizhong out, and smiled sarcastically: "Thanks to you two knight-errants, you actually joined forces to deal with me, a weak woman."
