She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

I don't know what the hunter's intention is.

In the room, Hengzhi finished saying two indecent sentences, and before either of them even realized that this was blatant flirting, Yuncheng's loud voice had already echoed in the mountains.

"It's Yuncheng." Hengzhi took the opportunity to let go of A's arm, and they put some distance between each other.

A'an plans to go out and take a look.

But when the door was opened, he found that the hunter was still standing at the door.

This sudden attack really made Ah'ao feel at a loss as to what to do.

"You, haven't left yet?" I had to say hello to cover up my embarrassment.

The hunter, wearing a fur hat and a fur coat, stood at the door of the cabin, blocking the way like a mountain. Ah-yi went out without listening to him, which made him a little unhappy, and his face darkened.

"Oh, there are wild beasts in the mountains. I'll keep watch."

Ah'ai thought that your motive was too impure. Even if it was true, could you fight a group of wild beasts alone?
In this season, there are either leopards that are not afraid of the cold, or packs of wild wolves. Why would they wander around outside in broad daylight?

Amidst the silence between the two sides, Yun Cheng's voice was still echoing in the mountains.

Ah-yi looked around carefully, but didn't see anyone. Thinking about the way she came here, she thought they might be just below this step. Because the mountain was empty here, the sound came over.

"Master! Madam! Where are you!"

The hunter naturally heard the call.

Ever since Ah-yi gave him the jade button and asked him for help, he subconsciously felt that the origins of these two people were not simple. He took the jade button to the city and asked, and it was enough to exchange for the family's food money for half a year.

The man's wound was so serious, and the roughness of the wound showed that it was not caused by a knife. They said they encountered a group of bandits in the mountains, and the bandits were just robbing people for money and women.

If it was a robbery, money was not something that a wealthy family like them regarded as life, and it was not something they could just give out to save their lives.

The bandits would not kill people, but would rather kidnap them for more money.

If she was raped, her clothes wouldn't be so neat when they were torn apart. And even though she cried so hard that night that she was out of breath, her eyes were clear and bright, without any panic or pain.

So, when the hunter thought about it, he realized that the people he was hiding from at night must not be bandits, but the enemies who were chasing these two people and hired them to kill them. They failed to kill them and luckily let them escape.

If he lets these two people out and they happen to be discovered by the enemy who hasn't left yet, then wouldn't he also die for harboring these two people?

After staying in the mountains for a long time, I can see the wild animals, human hearts, and the wilderness very clearly.

"Is he here to look for you?" The hunter pointed at the source of the voice and turned around, his stern eyes falling on A'ao.

Perhaps it was because he had hunted too many games, the scrutiny in his eyes was like that of a ferocious beast, which made Ah'ao tremble uncontrollably.

He didn't have the chance to say what was in his mind. When the person's head popped up at the bottom of the stairs, the hunter turned around suddenly, covered the lower half of A'ai's face, turned around, opened the door and pushed her back.

Ah-yi: ...

Is this necessary?

Leaning against the door, Ah'ao and Hengzhi, who was sitting upright, looked at each other, speechless.

Yun Cheng led his men to climb the mountain and they were exhausted. When they saw a house in front of them, they thought of stopping first to ask for a bowl of hot water. But this man was like seeing the King of Hell. When he saw them, he pulled out a pipe as long as his arm.

"Don't be impatient." Yun Cheng stopped everyone behind him, feeling that this situation was not right.

He walked forward, his fair features as cold as if covered with frost, "Have you seen a man and a woman?"

The hunter knocked his pipe against the door, not wanting to respond, "I've seen this many times, who knows who you're talking about."

Yun Cheng described impatiently, "The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is beautiful. Have you ever seen them before?"

Hunter: “…”

"Oh, I have seen you." Yun Cheng's eyes widened, and he heard the hunter continue, "But there are many bandits in the mountains recently, how can I know who you are?"

A slightly vague voice came through the door, and Hengzhi didn't seem to be worried at all.

Yun Cheng took out a waist badge from his bosom and held it in front of the hunter. "Look carefully, we are the personal guards of the residence of the Marquis of Kezhou. We are looking for someone in the mansion. How can we be compared with criminals?"

He didn't have to reveal the identities of the two people. The important thing at this time was to find the people, and it would be easier to handle things in this area without revealing their identities.

The hunter took a closer look at the waist badge, which was exquisitely made and did not look like a cheap item. He thought the two men were of high status, at most a merchant family, but he did not expect that they were related to the state government.

If it really is that young marquis and his wife, they are people we cannot afford to offend.

"Two of them are injured. They are both in my room."

As soon as the hunter took half a step back, Yun Cheng wanted to go in, but the door was opened from the inside.

"Master." Yun Cheng retracted his fangs and retreated back to the steps.

Hengzhi was wearing the robe that was torn that day, but it was neat and tidy. He was still a little pale because he had not recovered from the blood loss.

When he got closer, he saw that his master was covered in bandages. "Are you... okay?"

"You're pretty quick."

The two of them didn't care about the hunter's increasingly ugly face during their conversation. Hengzhi was drowsy for a few days, and although he was powerless, he felt unhappy when he heard the hunter bossing around A'an. But he had to bow his head under the eaves.

He still wanted to trap them in this cabin today. Heng Zhi found it funny. He was injured, not dead. As long as he wanted to get out, why would he worry about not having a way out?
Ah-yi was behind, and before she could say anything else, she quickly pulled Yun Cheng to ask, "Come out, is there anyone guarding the villa?"

Yun Cheng looked at her anxious expression, somewhat confused, "It was the people from Yuanzhou who stayed behind to watch over them. Our people were divided into two groups. One group was borrowed from the Dang County Court, and they were divided into two groups to search for people in the city and on the mountain."

That's not so bad. Even if Beitang sent people to destroy the body or steal it away, Kezhou's people were not there, so it couldn't be blamed on Kezhou.

Ah'an knew the camp she was in very well. Li Chongyuan was rigid and serious, so it might not be a good thing to explain it to him in detail at this time.

The hunter was afraid that he would be retaliated by the people from Beitang who had returned. Seeing that he could not afford to offend them, he hesitated and followed them for half a mile.

Hengzhi stopped Yuncheng and asked him to leave a few people to guard the house at the foot of the Hunter Mountain. He also followed A'ao's wishes and gave him more money as a reward before returning to the villa.

The young marquis gave it so generously, and only after his wife said in person that she would reimburse him when she got back, did the young marquis feel happy to do this favor.

A'ao asked for a piece of paper and wrote an IOU to Hengzhi with gritted teeth on the spot.

Yuncheng: What kind of fun is this?
After wandering around for a few days, Ah'ao felt a little dazed when she walked into the villa again.

How did he go through life and death? This person's fate is really strange.

Xu Tingzhou stood in the yard, looking quite anxious.

"My ancestors are finally back!" He was so excited that he went crazy and tried to grab Hengzhi's arm.

Seeing this, Ah-yi stopped the man behind her and said, "I'm telling you, the young marquis is seriously injured. Don't touch him. Be careful about your path to promotion."

Xu Tingzhou smiled awkwardly and took his hand back. As expected, whoever loves the man will be the one who loves him. The newlyweds are indeed worthy of their reputation.

But seeing that he looked pale and unusually enthusiastic, Heng Zhi couldn't help but guess something, "Was he robbed?"

"How do you know!" Xu Tingzhou was stunned, and his pretended calmness was completely soaked by the muddy snow water in the yard.

They went into the house, and Hengqi and Ah'ao changed their clothes. When they came out, Xu Tingzhou had already made tea. He couldn't hide his appearance of asking for favors.

Since there were few people in the courtyard, they would not have smeared the snow on the ground into such a mess. When the soldier entered the door just now, he peeked at the edge and could not cover the bruises on his face.

There was also a long willow broom lying on the ground, which should have been placed neatly in the corner.

Hengzhi didn't need to think too much, the scene in the courtyard was just like a fighting scene.

"Yes, after Brother Yuncheng left with his men, the number of guards was reduced by half, so a group of people accidentally got the chance to break in in the evening." Xu Tingzhou said, shaking his head, "They were totally inhuman! They smashed everything when they came in. I hurried over to see the bodies, but I couldn't beat them in the end."

He stretched out his arm with his sleeve lifted up, revealing a wound on the arm that looked like the length of an adult man.

The bruises on the corners of his mouth had not yet faded, which seemed to indicate that he had suffered many conflicts that were difficult to overcome.

"As you two know, I am just a scholar. I don't know how to use a sword or a knife, and my boxing skills are not even that good. Even the wife of the young marquis can fight better than me..."

Upon hearing this, Ah-yi almost spit out her tea.

"You are afraid that if you go back and offend Li Chongxuan, you still won't be able to get promoted." Hengzhi wrapped himself in a fur cloak, with the furry collar resting against his chin.

Ah-yi felt itchy when she saw it, and quickly looked away, "Why aren't you afraid of offending us?"

In a word, the cold winter kept me company.

"Well, then the three of us will handle this case together. Of course I will discuss everything with you two." Xu Tingzhou stood up in a hurry, holding his hands and looking at the two of them awkwardly.

Seeing Xu Tingzhou's miserable face, Heng Qi tilted his head and whispered in his ear, "Are you feeling better now?"

Ah-yi still looked directly at Xu Tingzhou and nodded, "I feel relieved."

No, do you two have any humanity?

Since he had been out for a long time, he had to go back to Kezhou to deal with state affairs. In addition, Hengzhi's wound was still bleeding, so he had to go back to recuperate. So they discussed a compromise that would be easy for both sides.

First, he traced You Tong's wound on paper with a pen, and took it back to Li Chongxuan along with the notes that Xu Tingzhou had saved at the cost of his life. He bought a coffin and took You Tong back to Yuanzhou for burial.

A'ao even asked Zheng Da to come all the way to help.

If the letter was submitted to the capital, it would also be reported as robbery and murder. In addition, A'ao wrote a letter to inform Li Chongxuan of the whole story except the matter of Chong'an Palace, and asked him to secretly inquire about the news of Beitang.

Although this matter has no concrete results, it cannot be investigated openly. If it gets out of hand, everyone in the capital will know about it, and the secret that Ah-yi wants will be useless.

She would not let go of anything that could be used to threaten her half-baked uncle.

Even though Hengzhi didn't know what she was thinking, their ideas were similar. The death of people in Kezhou was not a good thing for Hengzhi.

Yuanzhou and Kezhou both lost people, and neither of them blamed the other. The three of them tacitly understood and concealed the matter.

Looking at Xu Tingzhou's carriage going away, A'an felt heavy in her heart.

She knew that if she continued the investigation, there would probably be more and more trouble, but she couldn't help herself.

Some seeds have already taken root in our hearts. Once they have the opportunity to germinate, they will grow rapidly and thrive wherever there is soil.
