In the carriage, Shen Ange lifted the curtain.

The rain had just stopped and the sky was still foggy.

It was Youshi, because it was close to the depth of winter, and it had rained, so it got dark early.

A waning moon is hidden in the clouds and mist, and there are still raindrops dripping on the corrugated corrugations, waiting for a drop to fall heavily, breaking the coldness in the accumulated water.

As soon as Shen Ange returned to the room, with the cloak still in his hand, the maid hurriedly came to report.

"Miss, Mr. Zhou's book boy sent you a letter at noon. He said it was something important. I'll put it on the desk for you." The maid looked at it and asked doubtfully: "...Why not?"

Then he walked in the door, looked for the letter on the desk repeatedly, and said in surprise: "I obviously put it here."

Shen Ange thought for a moment and guessed that Zhou Jing must have come to her because of the marriage.

This matter cannot be delayed. Now that there is a better solution, we need to make an early decision.

"There's no need to look for it. Since it's an important matter, I'll pay you a visit in person."

Shen Ange looked in the mirror and put on his cloak again, straightened his appearance, and saw that he was not rude because of the drizzle, so he said softly: "Prepare the car and greetings, and go to the Zhou Mansion."

The rain had obviously stopped, but the road to Zhou Mansion was not smooth. Either vendors were blocking the road with baskets, or vendors' goods were scattered on the floor. She didn't think about anything else, except that the vendors were eager to sell after the rain.

"Miss, it will probably take some time since the goods from the vendors in front are scattered all over the floor."

Shen Ange saw that it would take a lot of time, so you gave up the carriage and walked to the Zhou Mansion.

After finally arriving at the Zhou Mansion and handing over the greeting card, the servant who came to greet him was surprised and asked: "Miss Shen Er, why are you here? Didn't my young master invite you to meet at Ming Yuexuan of Hanshan Temple in the north of the city? We set off an hour ago."

The attendant's words made her feel uneasy, and coupled with the many difficulties she had experienced just now...

"Let's go to the north of the city."

Mingyue Xuan next to Hanshan Temple in the north of the city.

Mingyuexuan is an elegant and unique restaurant built by the lake. Zhou Jing was waiting on the corridor outside the wing. Zhou Jing had a smile on his face. He was afraid that Shen Ange would be exposed to the wind, so he specially chose this place to shelter from the wind.

It's also his fault for letting her come out at this time of year.

In the dark night, I saw Zhou Jing wearing the jade belt he wore that day. Thinking of seeing her, he didn't take the accompanying sword.

He put his hands behind his hands and walked on the corridor. Looking out from here, he could clearly see the people coming in and out of the door, and he could also enjoy the winter night. He looked in front of the restaurant door from time to time.

Sister Ange will definitely like this place.

While he was waiting anxiously, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him: "Master Zhou." His eyes were full of his sweetheart, and he didn't have time to defend himself, so he received a solid slap.

Zhou Jing crept forward and knelt on the ground. He turned around and saw two men in black coming down from the rafters, with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

"Who are you?"

The man in black didn't say anything, and then launched his moves to attack. Zhou Jing had to hide in this narrow corridor. He didn't have any weapons on him. It didn't take long for Zhou Jing to resist with his fists and kicks.

The two men were making every move, forcing him to the end of the corridor. He glanced sideways and saw the center of the lake behind him, and they obviously wanted to force him down.

When he was distracted, two people struck at him at the same time. In order to avoid the weapons, he received a slap from both of them.

He doesn't know how to swim, which is a secret he has hidden all along.

The huge palm force knocked him down onto his back and fell into the deep and cold lake.

There was a pop and water splashed everywhere.

The two men in black in the corridor looked down and asked each other: "Is it possible to die like this? If I had known, I would have given him a sword just now."

"No matter, he has received a few slaps from us anyway, and he doesn't know how to swim. Just push his head down and don't let him float up."

There was a startling sound of wings flying across the sky, causing the two men with ulterior motives to immediately raise their heads and saw a huge gray falcon hovering in the sky. When the two saw that the gray falcon was not moving away, they realized that something was unusual.

"somebody is coming?"

"withdraw!"

Afraid of being seen, the two nodded to each other and scattered in all directions. They didn't care whether Zhou Jing sank or not, and fled.

Almost at the same time as the two escaped, a tall young man stepped out from under the moon gate of the restaurant courtyard in the distance.

He raised his arm, and the gray falcon hovering in the sky landed obediently and folded its wings on his arm.

Gu Qing scolded the beast for not understanding human speech.

"You are asked to show up to save him? Little beast."

A cry for help came from the lake.

"Help, help..."

It's not too high to fall. Is this the person Shen Ange values? Not even Fu Shui?

There was a splashing sound in the pool, but this was the VIP room at the back. Unless the diners called for help, no one would disturb them.

Gu Qing stood leisurely by the moon gate with his hands folded, his eyes filled with the cold moonlight. He seemed unhappy. He found a good seat in the backyard and admired Zhou Jing's sinking figure.

Although the Zhou family is insignificant, the death of Zhou Jing will destroy the path paved by the Ren family for the crown prince. Civil servants who have good relations with the Zhou family will put pressure on the Ren family, and the emperor will naturally investigate.

At that time, without taking any action, it will dissipate bit by bit like an ant nest collapsing its nest.

The scene of two tigers fighting each other and the monarch and his ministers turning against each other is very interesting to think about.

The sound in the lake slowly weakened, swallowing Zhou Jing's life.

Gu Qing had a cheerful smile on her face, as if she was watching something happy.

After confirming that the figure was slowly sinking, he turned around and left, not wanting to face eyes that shouldn't be there.

She shouldn't have been here.

Shen Ange's chest heaved and she looked at him in shock.

The gray falcon was frightened and flew from his hand.

"Fu Jiu...?" Shen Ange heard her voice trembling slightly, and the uneasy premonition in her heart reached its peak when she saw him.

Gu Qing looked at her with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened at all.

Shen Ange caught a glimpse of water splashing on the lake not far away. It quickly turned from large to small, and something seemed to be floating on the lake.

Shen Ange took a breath and said in horror: Zhou Jing? He doesn't know how to drink water.

Before she could question Gu Qing, she took off her shoes, socks and cloak and quickly jumped into the water.

The water splashed everywhere, and the winter lake water was freezing cold, as if penetrating through the whole body. Shen Ange couldn't care less and swam towards Zhou Jing with all his strength. If he didn't hurry up, even she would end up in this cold lake.

Gu Qing saw the girl swimming toward him risklessly, and the light and shadow in his eyes shattered when he saw her.

Huge splashes of water came out of the petite body in the lake. Shen Ange tried hard to raise his head out of the water and looked at the place where Zhou Jing sank.

However, the water was so cold that even her movements were a bit slower than usual.

Zhou Jing didn't know how to swim. She knew this. When they were young, they went to the river to play. He accidentally fell into the river and choked a few times. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing adult, but he never After that, he was afraid of water.
