w furrowed gradually. When he let go, his face was full of disapproval. "Knowing you are pregnant, how could you be so careless The bleeding has started, and I don't even know if I can save the child....The middle-aged servant lowered his head, not letting Qin Luo'yan see the flickering in his eyes. When he raised his head again, he had put on an expression of extreme blandness. "Miss, please spare my life, I can't say... " 。“One sentence from you would make me stop asking about this. Do you think that's possible” If every time something like this happened, the other person just said a word and it was over, then she would seem too naive, wouldn't she Human nature is hard to fathom, not every word someone speaks is worth believing. The more pitiful a person is, the greater the likelihood they will tell lies, so Qin Luoyan's voice was a few degrees colder than before. 。The middle-aged man seemed to agree with her words. If he were in their place, perhaps he wouldn't even bother listening to the other person's nonsense, but would simply chop off their heads. For people like them who lived on the edge of a knife, it was better to kill the wrong person than let one go. 。So the woman before me, after all, is still kind. 。"What do you think should be done then" the middle-aged house steward asked 。To be honest, Qin Luoyan didn't figure out what to do. Should she kill him Just like he said, up to now, he hadn't done anything to harm her. But letting him go seemed unlikely too. 。Both fell silent, each at a loss for how to break the tension. 。As the two were talking, Xu Hou and Yisheng walked in. Seeing a middle-aged domestic worker kneeling in the courtyard, the two were taken aback. Then Yisheng asked, "Sister, did this person do something wrong"Qin Luo'yan shook her head, "No, he's not Zuocheng's person, he's someone who snuck in, and... he said he was here to protect me, do you believe it"Both Yisheng and Xu Hou shook their heads. Especially Xu Hou, having traveled all over the place and seen many things, immediately said, "Where does such a good thing exist He's a stalker, nine out of ten times he's here to kill..." 。"No, I really am trying to protect the young lady. There is absolutely no intention of harming her whatsoever. " 。The middle-aged servant quickly explained. 。"Words without proof are worthless. You have a mouth on your face, so of course you'd say that now. Sister, should I inform Zuocheng about this" Yisheng frowned, uncertain what to do. 。"No need, I actually have seven or eight points of belief in his words." 。After all, the journey from the barbarian border to Chun City was one he had followed all along. 。After Qin Luoyan finished speaking, as if remembering something, she said to the middle-aged house steward again: "Why don't we do this Since you say you don't want to harm me, why not act as our informant during this time and provide us with information and what we need" The middle-aged house steward was stunned, as were Xu Hou and Yisheng beside him. They seemed to have never expected Qin Luoyan to use this tactic and make this decision. 。However, for a middle-aged house servant, as long as he doesn't reveal the identity of his master, everything else is unimportant. Protecting the safety of his master is all that matters to him; there are no other specific requirements. 。 “Ok, I agree " 。" The middle-aged house servant agreed, and Qin Luo'yan nodded in satisfaction. “What’s your name” “Uh…” The middle-aged house servant hesitated when asked this question, his face showing a conflicted look. “To be honest, I don’t have a real name, just a code name. If miss doesn’t mind, you can call me Xiaolong." 。"Xiaolong ah…" Qin Luoyan's mouth twitched involuntarily. A middle-aged man named Xiaolong, didn't she think the name was very out of place However, she had no interest in giving him a new name, so she just agreed. 。"If the young lady has no other instructions, I will leave now. Spending too much time here might raise suspicion from others." 。 。"Wait, first help me find a few things" 。“Qin Luo said, getting up and going into the house to take out ink, paper, brushes and an ink stone. She wrote a note and handed it to Xiaolong. “I don’t know if you have these things here, but if you do, please bring some in. And when you bring them, be careful not to mix them together, make sure they are stored separately.” 。“

Little Dragon took the paper and looked at it, his eyes full of confusion, but he said very confidently: “These things are all there, but I’ve never heard of this gunpowder. I don't know what it is.” 。Qin Luoyan sighed. Of course she knew that gunpowder was hard to find. After all, there wasn't any in the Nan Yue Kingdom, otherwise she would have started making weapons a long time ago. She came to the Man Nation because of her current circumstances, so she just hoped for the best. 。"Gunpowder, a kind of stone that can burn into smoke, you might as well try to find some." 。Qin Luoyan explained... 。Xiao Long responded with a soft, "Burning stone... I heard there's a mine thirty miles south of the city. I'll go ask around to see if they have such stones." 。" Okay, thank you. " 。Qin Luo'yan is always polite to people. 。"Don't worry, it is my honor to do what I can for the young lady." 。After Xiaolong finished speaking, he bid farewell to Qin Luoyan again before hurriedly leaving. He had lingered for too long; if he attracted the attention of Zaocheng's people, it would be troublesome. 。After he left, Xu Hou only then wore a worried expression and asked Qin Luoyan, "You trust him that much" He always felt that Qin Luoyan was not so easily swayed. 。Qin Luoyan sighed helplessly, and said: "These past few days, have you felt that the courtyard around us has become much quieter" 。" Yes, I checked too. The people in the surrounding yards are gradually decreasing. Maybe when there are enough of them gone, we can lead you out to kill your way through." 。"No, the fewer they are, the more dangerous we become. " 。"We both know how important Wing Sheng is to Zhao Cheng, yet he's moved most of the guards protecting him. It means his plan is about to be put into action. He's starting it, and can we even escape" This was Qin Luo Yan's worry as well, "I also know I shouldn't trust someone with an unknown background, but do we really have a choice right now You may be skilled in martial arts, but for Wing Sheng's protection, you can never leave his side. And I... I am completely helpless. In this situation, we have no other option but to try this desperate measure." 。If he really wouldn't do anything to hurt us, we'd be in the clear. If he were to actually harm us, things couldn't get any worse than they already are. 。" That's why she made this decision. When it really came down to life and death, she could only choose to gamble for a chance at survival. 。The warm sunshine continued to cast its rays, but the mood of the three people was heavy at this moment. None of them had the heart to enjoy the warmth of the sun anymore. 。In passing, Qin Luoyan lifted her head and glanced at the sky. There were only a few occasional white clouds up there, but her thoughts seemed to drift far away. Her mind was constantly circling one doubt: Xiao Long, would he be Fu Zimo's person Would he If you think "Fu Zimo Qin Luoyan" is good, please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!(：b/23/23838/).When they reached the gate of the prince's manor, Qin Luoyan transferred from the soft sedan chair to the carriage. The unfamiliar man also got into the carriage. As the carriage was about to leave,...
