Save the tragic villain in progress!

Since the thief who stole the painting didn't even take the painting out of the Golden Scale Pavilion, he naturally wouldn't leave.It was too conspicuous for the other party to try to climb over the wall and leave with lightness, and could only slip through the back door.

When he was checking everyone's palms in Jinlin Pavilion just now, Chu Xinian looked carefully at every maid in the house.In the end, it was discovered that besides the flustered murderer Qing Lan, there was another maid who was very special.

No, it shouldn't be called special, but ordinary.The appearance of that face is so ordinary that people can't remember it no matter how many times they look at it.

Faint brows, medium-sized eyes, medium-high nose, medium-thick lips, like a faded ink painting, only vague shadows can be seen, which cannot be seen clearly.

Chu Xinian still remembered that the King of Guangping said that the thousand-faced thief was very good at disguise, and such an ordinary face was like a natural canvas, possessing superior conditions for disguise.

He secretly followed the maid, and overheard her talking to the mother in charge, saying that she was going out to buy embroidered satin.So let the coachman drive the car to the back door and wait for the rabbit.

Xie Jingyuan didn't understand why Chu Xinian insisted on catching a small thief. Because of the purse, his words were unavoidable: "Chu Xinian, you are addicted to judging cases, and a thief who steals paintings is worth your arrest?"

Chu Xinian said: "Doesn't the general know how to 'use her talents instead of her people'? Although she is a thief, she has abilities that ordinary people can't match. We might as well make use of one or two."

What he said had deep meaning, but before Xie Jingyuan could figure it out, he saw a maid in pink shirt coming out from the back door of Guangping Palace with her head poking her head.She has pale features, a round white face, the only color is her pair of dark eyes, she is fifteen or sixteen years old.

Xie Jingyuan frowned, and found that the woman walked silently, with light footwork, obviously a good lightness kung fu.

Chu Xinian smiled: "General, the fish has come out, can you catch her?"

Xie Jingyuan narrowed his long and narrow eyes when he heard the words, and said angrily, "You want this general to catch women for you?"

He discovered that Chu Xinian has been a little restless recently, and there are too many rotten peach blossoms.Now it's even more extreme, actually letting himself catch a woman for him.

Chu Xinian pressed his hand, and persuaded in a warm voice: "This man is of great use, the general will help me once."

Xie Jingyuan: "..."

The little thief Qianqian who has just made a name for himself in the capital recently feels that he is really unlucky today. Not to mention the famous painting he was going to steal, he even witnessed a murder case for no reason.

Her psychological activities can be roughly divided into the following two stages:

#Fuck, the painting I stole was found out#

#Fuck, the maid next to me actually killed someone#

In summary, she felt that the Guangping Palace was really not a good place.The intuition and experience of many years of stealing career told her that it is the best policy to go, and there must be no good things to stay.

Due to the murder case, the Guangping Palace is now in chaos, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves.Qianqian sneaked out from the back door, and was about to pat her buttocks to leave, but before she reached the corner of the street, her lower back felt numb, someone tapped her acupuncture points, and then she was thrown into a carriage in a daze.

"The one you want."

Xie Jingyuan threw the pink-clothed maid in front of Chu Xinian, frowned and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.It's just a small thief, his lightness skill may be very high, but he is not very good in real fights, and he is choked with one move.

Chu Xinian didn't expect Xie Jingyuan to move so fast, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise.He ordered the coachman to drive back home, and then his eyes slowly fell on the woman in pink in front of him.

Qianqian was very impressed with Chu Xinian, isn't this the one who found the painting today? !Vigilance was quietly raised in her heart, and she secretly complained that she had been walking by the river for so many years, and her shoes sometimes got wet.

Qianqian pretended to be stupid and didn't know: "You dare to ask Mr. Chu what you want to do with your servants. The servants are the personal maids of the King of Guangping, and you don't know where you offended the young master."

The carriage staggered and had already driven to the General's Mansion.

Chu Xinian still had the posture of the breeze and the moon, looked at her slowly, neither annoyed nor angry, just said a word with a smile: "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief?"

Qianqian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words: "What the young master is talking about, the maidservant can't understand."

Chu Xinian gestured to her bulging sleeves: "The girl must have hidden a lot of good things, if you hand them over to the county king, what do you think will happen?"

The thief didn't miss out, and she didn't steal Meng Xiting's painting, so she naturally had to look for it from other places.Like stealing some jewelry or something.

Qianqian subconsciously covered her sleeves when she heard the words, knowing that she had encountered a hard problem.She wanted to slip away, but the masked man kept staring at her with gloomy eyes, which made her feel cold from the head to the soles of the feet.

Qianqian gritted her teeth: "Young master must not arrest me to dedicate it to the little county king. If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up."

Chu Xinian didn't answer, but said, "We'll talk about it when we go back to the mansion."

Xie Jingyuan cast his deep eyes on Qianqian slowly, staring at the latter until his spine shivered, and then he smiled and said, "He wants to take you back to be his No.13 concubine."

Chu Xinian looked over immediately: "General, don't talk nonsense."

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it?"

Chu Xinian: "Of course not."

no?That's easy.

Xie Jingyuan's eyes finally restrained their sharpness, unlike the knife-like piercing just now.However, Qianqian still didn't feel that she was feeling well. After the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion, she was taken directly to a room for guests.

The surrounding furnishings can be broken or not, but they are better than dungeons.There are several guards with high martial arts skills outside, and it is difficult to fly out even with wings.

Chu Xinian was not in a hurry to interrogate her, so he locked her up for a night to grind her temper.The maid waited on her to change her clothes, and lay down on the couch to rest with her eyes closed. After all, too many things happened today, and it was a bit exhausting.

Seeing that Chu Xinian seemed to be asleep, Xie Jingyuan walked behind the screen and flipped through the clothes that the other party had replaced. However, after searching everywhere, he couldn't find what he wanted, so he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"The general is looking for this thing?"

Chu Xinian seemed to have eyes behind him.With one hand resting on the back of his head, with the other holding a delicate purse between his fingers, he shook it at Xie Jingyuan, without even lifting his eyelids, but there was a smile hidden in his voice.

It was inevitable that Xie Jingyuan was a little embarrassed when he was caught.Seeing that Chu Xinian still kept the purse, he gritted his teeth silently, and went directly to the side of the couch to sit down: "Why, Mr. Chu has moved Mu Ai's heart, really want to marry a beautiful girl and come back?"

A pair of long and narrow eyes stared straight at Chu Xinian, not letting go of any expression on his face.

But Chu Xinian corrected him by answering the wrong question: "General, Xi Nian is the second son in the family, and he is the second son of Chu."

Xie Jingyuan ignored and took the purse directly, but Chu Xinian did not let go.Each of them pinched one side, silently competing with each other.

Chu Xinian opened his eyes, and said in a low voice with a half-smile: "The general forgot? As I said, if you want a purse, you should exchange it with something else."

Xie Jingyuan can grab it, anyway, Chu Xinian is not as strong as him.But for some reason, he always felt that it was meaningless to snatch it, and it was also meaningless to exchange it, as long as Chu Xinian was willing to give it to him.

Xie Jingyuan raised his eyebrows coldly, and was even more annoyed in his heart: "If I don't change, what will happen to you?"

Chu Xinian's smile deepened: "If the general doesn't change, the purse will naturally belong to me."

As he spoke, he pulled out the purse with a little force, opened it in front of Xie Jingyuan, and asked with great interest: "The general said there might be letterheads hidden inside?"

When a woman expresses her love with a hairpin sachet, there must be a letter to express her love inside.

Seeing Chu Xinian open the purse, Xie Jingyuan's heart tightened inexplicably, but he said with disdain and sarcasm: "So what if you hide it, a broken purse and a piece of paper make you fall in love?"

"The general doesn't know that the precious thing is not the item, but the mind."

Chu Xinian actually took out a piece of letter paper from his purse. He was about to open it to read it, but suddenly his arms sank, and something small fell over.Before he had time to take a closer look, he saw Xie Jingyuan stretching out his hand to him, and said in a cold tone: "Bring me the purse, I'll exchange it with my jade pendant, you should be satisfied, right?"

Chu Xinian subconsciously gave him the purse.

Xie Jingyuan took the purse, and originally wanted to throw it into the stove and burn it, but looked down, for some reason, but felt that doing so was extremely boring.He walked into the inner room without saying a word, lay down on the bed and slept with his eyes closed.

The curtain slid down, obscuring his figure.

It was only at this time that Chu Xinian saw what was in his arms, but he saw that it was the jade plaque that Xie Jingyuan was wearing next to him, with the word "Lanting" engraved on it.I still remember that last time I just stared at him a few more times, and said a lot of threatening words slyly at Boss Convenience's displeasure.

Chu Xinian didn't know what secret was hidden behind this piece of jade, nor what it represented, so he could only vaguely guess that this piece of jade was very important to Xie Jingyuan.

In the end, the other party gave it to me like this?

Just to change a dispensable purse?

Holding the jade pendant that was still warm, Chu Xinian was stunned for a long time, then looked at the person lying in the inner room, wondering what was going on in his mind, got up and walked over quietly.

"General?"

Chu Xinian's voice was deep and gentle, just like his whole person, neither impatient nor impatient.He sat down beside the bed, seeing Xie Jingyuan with his back turned to him, he asked aloud, "Is the general asleep?"

"..."

Xie Jingyuan closed his eyes and did not speak.The purse was thrown casually by the pillow, looking lonely.

Seeing that he ignored him, Chu Xinian smiled.He simply took off his outer clothes, got into the quilt as usual, warmed Xie Jingyuan, and pulled him into his arms from behind.

Xie Jingyuan frowned, and just about to push him away, Chu Xinian stretched out a hand in front of his eyes.A few turns of red thread were wrapped around the slender fingertips. At the end of the thread was a piece of excellent jade, and the word "Lanting" was clearly visible.

"Lan... Pavilion..."

Behind him, Chu Xinian suddenly read these two words slowly, causing Xie Jingyuan to freeze.But the other party continued: "I'm afraid this thing is a bit important to the general, so let's take it back. I just said it casually, so don't take it seriously."

Xie Jingyuan didn't move.

Chu Xinian thought he was still angry, so he picked up the purse next to his pillow, and lightly threw it at the heating stove in the house, only to see a puff of green smoke coming out, and the things burned out of shape immediately.

Chu Xinian explained: "I didn't want it at all, but I just didn't feel comfortable throwing away other people's things."

Xie Jingyuan was finally willing to speak, and glanced at him: "Then you still throw it?"

Chu Xinian rested his head on the pillow and glanced at him with a smile: "I'm afraid the general will be unhappy."

After finishing speaking, he handed the piece of jade to Xie Jingyuan's eyes: "General, take it back."

Xie Jingyuan's back was pressed against Chu Xinian's scorching chest, and for a moment he felt a little hot.Hearing Chu Xinian's explanation, he lowered his eyes to cover the expression in his eyes, and said in a blunt tone: "I'll take it for you, and I will never take back what I send out."

Chu Xinian glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, still hesitating: "But..."

"But what is it?"

Xie Jingyuan finally turned around to look at him, with unkind eyes, lightly tapped Chu Xinian's chest with his fingertips, slowly drew a circle around his heart, and curled his lips maliciously: "If you feel embarrassed to take it for nothing, How about taking a piece of flesh out of your body and giving it to me?"

Chu Xinian felt as if his heartbeat had missed a beat, he subconsciously held down Xie Jingyuan's fidgeting hand, and also held down the subtle itch in his heart just now: "...what does the general want my flesh for, I'm not a Tang monk, Can you live forever if you eat it?"

The piece of jade was between their touching hands, and it was a bit painful to press it tightly.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at Chu Xinian, did not answer his words, just stared at the piece of jade and said: "Wear it, you can't take it off without my permission."

Somehow, Chu Xinian agreed.

Xie Jingyuan: "Also, you are not allowed to accept women's purses in the future, any woman."

Chu Xinian smiled, feeling that this was unreasonable: "What if they insist on throwing it over?"

Xie Jingyuan sneered: "Won't you smash it back?"

The author has something to say: Chu Xinian: QAQ is great.
