Yang Yan jumped down from the roof, and finally made sure that Zhong Xinyu and the person who attacked him with tiles were gone without a trace. Only then did I find a quiet corner and silently exercise pranayama. Just now, he and Zhong Xinyu had a hard shock, and he almost did his best. The skill of the person who attacked him with tiles was not weak, and even if he caught up, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the two of them.

After the luck was over, Yang Yan opened his eyes, thinking back to the fierce battle just now, there was really a hidden dragon and tiger in the rivers and lakes, and the few opponents he met today were all masters, even if it was the masked woman, under a one-on-one competition, he might not be able to her. And the Cao Gonggong who seemed to be about to break his last breath with his elbow was a hidden master, and the martial arts of the man in black who suddenly appeared were only afraid that Cao Gonggong would be even higher. This is probably the strongest master he has encountered since his debut, except for the "Three Wonders of the Rivers and Lakes".

However, Yang Yan carefully recalled the details of his battle with the masked woman just now, and felt that he might be better than her in terms of skill and momentum, but she was better at tricks and tricks, and the number of ways was special. Such martial arts are of little use in the battlefield of thousands of troops, but they are very useful in the struggle between two or several people. The reason why I was able to win today was because I was not led by the nose by my opponent and fully played to my strengths. It seems that tonight's battle has benefited me a lot.

Yang Yan looked up at the sky, it was about past the ugly hour, that is, the time when he was on duty. I don't know what's going on in the palace now, whether I caught the man in black. However, he should also go back to Cao Gong and wait for the result of chasing the masked woman. Yang Yan wanted to see it, so he looked around, and it turned out that he was already on Gulou Street. This is one of the most prosperous and lively streets in Lin'an City. One end leads directly to the West Lake, and in the middle is the tallest building on Huitiao Street--- Zhonggu Tower. On both sides are hook fence tile houses, selling and buying shopkeepers.

Now the whole long street is empty, but there are still some restaurants on both sides of the street that are lit up, and you can vaguely hear the sound of courtesans playing and singing and customers making punches. There are still a few horse-drawn carriages parked in front of some restaurants, but there is no coachman.

Suddenly, the door of a restaurant in front of me suddenly opened, and six or seven swaying figures came out, and after each got into the carriage, the door closed with a "bang". Then the crisp sound of horses' hooves and the "creaking, creaking" of the axles broke the silence of the night, and when the carriage had drifted away, everything was quiet again.

Yang Yan walked closer and saw that this was Wanhualou. This is one of the best restaurants in Lin'an, and its reputation is still above Xie Yuanqing's Xie Family Restaurant. There is a side street on the left side of Wanhua Tower, which can lead to the bronze lion title, and the copper lion street leads directly to the palace.

At this elbow, a bright light suddenly flashed, and a small door on the side of Wanhua Eucalyptus opened, and a figure stumbled out of it, almost colliding with Yang Yan. A smell of wine came to his face, Yang Yan instinctively flashed, the man passed by him, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground. Yang Yan hurriedly grabbed the man's arm, only to feel that his hand was gentle and gentle, and this person was actually a woman.

At this time, the side door was closed, and the lights on Wanhua Tower were all extinguished, and it was dark again. However, Yang Yan's eyes were sharp, and there was not much difference between them and the daytime. When he looked at the woman's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Miss Yan Rui." ”

This woman is Yan Rui, at this time she is full of alcohol, her eyebrows are tight, her eyes are drunk like silk, her cheeks are red, and her temples are scattered. The body is soft, if it weren't for Yang Yan's support, he would not be able to stand steadily. It turned out that she accompanied a few guests to the banquet until late at night before leaving the banquet, but she was also poured more than a dozen glasses of wine by the guests, and she was already seven or eight points drunk. After the guests dispersed, she was also about to go back to Ruyi Fang to rest, but she couldn't recognize the direction when she was drunk, so she somehow turned to the corner door on the side and came out, but happened to bump into Yang Yan.

Yan Rui was also confused at this time, but when she was eaten by the cool breeze on the street, the wine suddenly gushed up. She pushed Yang Yan away violently, staggered to the wall, and spit out. There is no moving demeanor when Yang Yan saw her the first two times.

Yang Yan shook his head secretly, tonight's luck was really bad, he caught up with the assassins in the palace as soon as he was on duty, and he ran into Yan Rui after being drunk after chasing the assassins. I wanted to leave her alone, but after a few thoughts in my heart, I finally couldn't bear to leave her on the street like this, thinking that I hadn't caught the assassin anyway, so I could go back sooner or later.

At this time, Yan Rui finished vomiting with the scriptures, and was holding on to the wall and gasping for breath, Yang Yan came over and said, "Are you better?" ”

After Yan Rui finished vomiting, her heart was more comfortable, but her mind was still vague. Knowing that someone was talking to him, he thought it was a coachman, and the hotel would usually send them a carriage to accompany the ** back with the wine, and said vaguely: "Send me back." Then the whole person leaned on Yang Yan's body and stopped talking.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "You live there, I'll send you back." Even asked several times, Yan Rui didn't answer, her mouth was vague, and she didn't know what to say? This time, Yang Yan was embarrassed, now that the lights of Wanhualou were holographic, it was obviously closed for rest, and it was impossible to send Yan Rui in again. And I don't know where Yan Rui lives, so it's hard to take Yan Rui home, it's absolutely impossible.

Suddenly, a cool breeze rose, followed by a flash in the air, illuminating the surrounding scenery brightly. Suddenly the earth became darkness again. Then I heard the dull sound of thunder, followed by raindrops.

Yang Yan shouted bad luck in his heart, it was really "the house leak happened to rain overnight", and he was so rainy that he didn't care, but Yan Rui was drunk, and if it rained, he was afraid that he would be seriously ill. Where do you go to escape from the rain now?

The bright light flashed again, illuminating the entire Guloutou Street brightly. The tall bell tower is still conspicuous. Yang Yan's heart moved, and now Zhong Gulou was a place where he could hide from the rain. The raindrops were getting heavier and heavier, and Yang Yan didn't have time to forgive, so he picked up Yan Rui and ran towards Zhong Gulou.

I only heard a loud thunderclap, and then the sound of raindrops suddenly intensified, hitting the ground, hitting the roof, and the eaves "crackling" sound.

"It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, fortunately, I went to this bell tower one step earlier, otherwise such a heavy rain would have drenched in soup all of a sudden." Yang Yan put Yan Rui down, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

The thunder just now had woken Yan Rui up. By this time she had awakened a lot, but she still felt a splitting headache. I saw a blur of darkness in front of me. I'm thinking: what kind of place is this? I vaguely felt that someone had hugged me.

Suddenly, there was a light in front of him, and everything was illuminated in snow-white light, and he was startled, and after the bright light flashed, he immediately entered darkness again. Just when she was in shock, she only heard a loud thunder sound, which was deafening, and even the entire Zhonggu Tower seemed to be trembling. Yan Rui also screamed in fright, hugged her hands tightly, and her whole body trembled.

Seeing that she was scared like this, Yang Yan couldn't help but feel pity, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Yan Rui's shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's just thunder, don't be afraid." ”

The elbow rain became heavier and heavier, striking the tiles with a dense sound, as if they were about to shatter the tiles. Thunder and lightning came one after another, and Yan Rui's whole body shrank in Yang Yan's arms, still trembling. At this moment, she is no longer the prostitute who is peerless and crowned with Jinghua, but an ordinary weak woman who needs protection.

Yang Yan suddenly remembered the tassel at home, was she also awakened by the thunder starling at this time? As long as she is at home, every time she encounters this kind of thunderstorm night, she also hides in her arms and sleeps. But now that there are a few maids with her, she must not be afraid of thunder. Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of Zhao Qianru again, I don't know if she spent such a thunderstorm night? But thinking of Zhao Qianru's deep affection for herself, Yang Yan also felt a burst of tenderness and secretness in her heart.

However, at this time, another shadow rose from Yang Yan's heart, a shadow of a heroic Feng Shuang, a white horse and silver armor. I wonder if she will be afraid of thunder? Yang Yan was taken aback, why did he think of Zhao Yueru unconsciously? But the shadows of the tassels, Zhao Qianru, and Zhao Yueru took turns flashing in Yang Yan's mind, and Yang Yan shook his head vigorously, unwilling to think about it.

The thunderstorms of the summer night came and went as fast as they came, but after half an hour, the thunderstorms stopped. A bright moon also emerged from the clouds, shining with a bright light.

A refreshing cool breeze blows into the bell and drum tower with abundant moisture. It was refreshing, and at this time, Yan Rui "sighed" and woke up from Yang Yan's arms. By this time, she had woken up most of her wine, and although her head still hurt a little, she knew it completely. Suddenly found that he was being held, he was shocked, and hurriedly struggled to sit up, exclaiming: "You... Who are you. ”

Yang Yan said: "Don't panic, I'm not a bad person, you're drunk, remember?" ”

Yan Rui was stunned: "I'm drunk." He tried to recall it, and vaguely remembered some scaly claws. Taking a closer look at the surrounding environment by the moonlight, his gaze fell on Yang Yan again: "Here... Where is this? You are... You... You're not Yang..."

She finally recognized herself, and Yang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "By the way, I'm Yang Yan." This is the bell and drum tower, just now you were drunk on the street and couldn't wake up, and it was raining again, so I had to take you here to take shelter from the rain, now do you remember?"

Hearing him say this, some scattered fragments finally connected in Yan Rui's mind, although it was not too clear, but it could also be remembered. I was very grateful to Yang Yan in my heart, and at this time, my body still vaguely remembered the warm feeling of lying in Yang Yan's arms, and I couldn't help but blush: "I must have been very rude just now, and I want to thank Lord Yang." ”

Yang Yan said: "Miss Yan Rui, you're welcome. Drunk people, that can take care of those. It happened to be met by me, and there was a reason to ignore it. The words stopped, and the two of them didn't know what to say for a while, and they both fell silent all of a sudden.

After a while, Yan Rui straightened her sideburns and said, "What time is it now?" ”

Yang Yan looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's almost five watches, Miss Yan Rui, before dawn, I'll send you back, right?" If people come out after dawn and see you and me like this, it's not a good thing. ”

Yan Rui thought about it and said, "It's okay." With that, he stood up. It's a pity that although she knew it in her heart, her feet were still fluttering, and she staggered a few steps, and only stood firm by the wall.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, walked to Yan Rui's side, held her and said, "How do you walk like this?" I'll carry you! I thought to myself that I had hugged and hugged her anyway, and I didn't care about carrying her again.

Yan Rui lay on Yang Yan's back, and as he rose and fell from roof to roof, he felt like a cloud and mist. A strange feeling rose in my heart, I didn't feel a fever on my face, and my heart was beating straight up. When he was thinking wildly and feeling restless, Yang Yan suddenly stopped and said, "Miss Yan Rui, is this here?" ”

Yan Rui looked at it, and sure enough, she had arrived at the Ruyi Fang where she lived. I was slightly disappointed in my heart, and I only felt that time had passed faster. But he still got off Yang Yan's back and said, "This is it, thank you for sending me back." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Then Miss Yan Rui, go back and have a good rest, I'll go first." He turned around and wanted to leave.

Yan Rui said: "My lord, please wait a minute. ”

Yang Yan said: "Miss Yan Rui, do you have anything else?" ”

Yan Rui gritted her teeth and said: "This night is really to thank the adults for taking care of Yan Rui, forget it today, tomorrow I invite the adults to come to Ruyi Fang once no matter what, Yan Rui prepared a little thin wine, thank you, okay?"

Yang Yan said: "This is just a trivial matter, not enough to crutches, I don't think it's necessary!" ”

Yan Rui grabbed the corner of Yang Yan's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, do you look down on me, a fireworks woman?" Don't you want to ignore me? ”

Yang Yan was stunned, looking at Yan Ruiyun's sideburns scattered, her face was haggard, there were faint tears flashing in her eyes, she looked pitiful, her heart was soft, and she couldn't bear to refuse her anymore, and she also felt that it would be okay to come to her tomorrow to sit down and drink a few glasses of wine. Then he said: "Miss Yan Rui, I don't mean anything like this, if you don't think I'm bothering, then if I don't have anything else to do tomorrow, I must come." ”

Yan Rui showed joy on her face at this time, and said, "Then let's say it, Yan Rui will definitely be here tomorrow to wait for the arrival of adults." ”
