In the middle of July, it is midsummer, the red sun is scorching, and the heat is steaming.The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is not strong, but very quiet. The fragrance at this moment is brewing and fermenting in the scorching air, and then sneaks into people's nostrils silently, truly fragrant.

"Spring peach."

Chuntao was picking up the osmanthus petals blown down by the wind in the yard, planning to send them to the back kitchen to make some snacks.Since the young master came back from the prison last time, he has been sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree all day in a daze with nothing to do.Looks like he's thinking about something.

When Duan Yannian called her, she looked up and uttered a puzzled syllable: "Huh?"

"You..." Duan Yannian hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Pick a good and auspicious day recently, and you and Xiao Qi get married as soon as possible."

"Married? Why did the young master suddenly think of this?"

"I buried you under the tree before... According to the current situation, we don't know how many days we can stay in Duan's mansion. Maybe the emperor will remember when he gives an order to come here to search the house. …I’m afraid that I’ll be blind to this 18-year-old girl who was so hard to find on the altar.”

Chuntao stopped what she was doing, stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said to him: "Master, do you think Chuntao is easy to deceive?"

Duan Yannian knew that Chuntao understood him, and this reason could not fool her at all.He smiled lightly, and raised his hand to lightly touch the scar on Chuntao's cheek. The scar was across her right cheek, forcibly destroying her harmonious and soft facial features: "Follow me, it's too dangerous."

Chuntao's eyes are firm: "Chuntao is not afraid of danger."

"But I'm afraid you're in danger." Duan Yannian knew that he didn't have much ability, and there was no way to protect Chuntao in what he was going to do next. And do you know where you will pass through? I can't protect myself now, so how can I have the energy to protect you? You have been with me for so many years, Xiao Qi has been waiting for you for so long, I can't let you take risks with me again."

Chuntao heard something wrong from his words, the words "follow me to take risks" clearly meant that Duan Yannian was planning to do something dangerous, so she asked anxiously, "My lord, what are you planning to do?!"

Duan Yannian's face turned cold: "You don't have to worry about what I want to do. I've already seen the almanac, three days will be a good day, you're eighteen, you should get married long ago. What does it look like to follow me all day long? The matter of the Cen family has already upset me, and you are still crying all day long, I am upset!"

Chuntao's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but said loudly: "Master! I still don't understand you? You must be doing something big that will kill you, and you are afraid of hurting us, so you are so anxious to marry me off! This If I break up with you at such a time of crisis, and leave you alone, if anything happens to you in the future, how will you let Chuntao live?"

Duan Yannian felt a lump in his throat, and couldn't bear it anymore. He rubbed Chuntao's hair and said, "If you follow me and something happens, how do you want me to deal with Xiao Qi?"

Chuntao just shook her head and cried: "Isn't it all for the Cen family? You can't stop worrying about them? You lost your official position, lost your family wealth, and almost lost your life because of them...you did this for them Is more not enough?"

"How can it be so easy to repay the grace of saving my life... I owe Cen Yuan a life, and now that Cen Yuan is gone, it is not wrong to return this life to his family..."

Chuntao could tell that he was determined to die. Under such circumstances, how could she leave him behind?

"Young master, can you tell me what you think? You let me have a solid foundation in my heart, otherwise, you will have the heart to see me thinking wildly, not being able to figure it out, and being frightened all the time?"

Duan Yannian remained silent.

Chuntao said again: "You told me, so I can make preparations. If what you want to do hurts me and Xiaoqi, we will also think of a way to deal with it in advance."

Just as Chuntao knew him, he also knew that Chuntao said this just to let him tell his plan.

In fact, what is his plan...

Successive blows, several times of great joy and great sorrow, have long since crushed him.All he thinks now is to use his own life in exchange for the departure of Cen's family - he plans to use his last remaining property to hire a few masters to rob the prison.

Although the prison is heavily guarded, it is not an example that the prisoner has not been successfully intercepted.

Da Chen strictly stipulated that if the court official was rescued by someone, the jailer would be able to offset the merits and demerits by catching the mastermind. When the Cen family went all the way north to the frontier, he would stay as the mastermind, so as not to implicate Xiao Qi and other jailers...

If she told Chuntao these things, she would definitely not agree...

So he said: "Don't worry, I don't have a definite plan yet... I'll tell you when I clear my mind... Now I'm going to the prison to discuss the countermeasures with the old lady and the others. You wait in the mansion first for me to come back. "

Chuntao had no doubts about him, and replied, "Okay..."

……

Everyone in the Cen family planned to repay their kindness. He was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left. When he returned to the mansion, he woke up when he saw the osmanthus tree. After thinking for a long time leaning on the osmanthus tree, he came up with such a It is not a method.

Dr. Li had clearly told him that even if he recuperated well, he would not live long given his physical condition. It happened that this time he sent Cen's family away and repaid Cen Yuan's life-saving grace, so he could go to see him frankly.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and the only thing he was worried about was Chuntao and Xiaoqi.

He was afraid that Chuntao would not accept the news of his death, and he was afraid that Chuntao would find out about his plan and drag Xiaoqi into it.So he left Chuntao in the mansion and went to the prison alone for the purpose of informing the Cen family of his plan.

He thought as he walked, and when he came back to his senses, the gate of the prison was close in front of him.

Since Duan Yannian was already a frequent visitor to the prison, the two guards at the door had long been accustomed to it, so they let him in after saying hello.

He turned left and right along the prison, and walked to the deepest place where Cen's family was.

After turning a corner, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. Normally, the jailers would gather here to drink and chat in twos and threes when there was nothing to do, but today there was no one there. It seemed that the cries of children and the screams of women could be heard from the depths of the prison.

Could it be that the emperor ordered the Cen family to be tortured?With a stunned heart, he raised his legs and ran forward.

Not far away, there were several people wearing jailer's clothes lying motionless on the ground. Duan Yannian secretly felt that something was wrong, so he leaned over and probed the noses of several people - all of them had lost their breath.

I'm afraid things are not as simple as he thought.

He continued to run forward, the lights in the prison were dim, and it was impossible to see what was happening in front of him. As he approached, the screams and cries became louder and louder, accompanied by the clang of swords colliding. sound.

When he ran to the innermost point, he saw two groups of people wearing identical jailer clothes fighting.Xiao Qi was standing in front of the cell of Cen's family, holding a machete in his hand, with blood dripping down on the knife, several times someone tried to approach here, but Xiao Qi waved the knife to repel them one by one, and the blade fell again. Stained with new blood.

Except for Xiao Qi, he couldn't tell who the others were, so he could only hide from the shadow of swords and swords, and moved step by step to Xiao Qi's side against the base of the wall.Hearing the sound, Xiao Qi suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes were sharp, the knife dripping with blood was placed directly on his neck, Duan Yannian's neck hurt, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Master Duan?!" Xiao Qi recognized him at this moment, put down the knife hastily, grabbed him to avoid the sneak attack of a person behind him, then turned around and opened the cell door and pushed him in.

"What's going on?!" Duan Yannian asked anxiously.

With a sound of "咻", an arrow pierced through the air and came straight to the old lady. Xiao Qi stepped on the table that fell on the ground, held the legs of the table to meet it, and with a sound of "咚", the arrow It was nailed to the table, three points into the table, half of the tail feathers were still trembling.Xiao Qi was shocked and took a few steps back, leaning his back on the railing of the prison door, turned his head and told him: "Be careful of shooting arrows at the opposite side!"

The old lady walked on the verge of death, trembling with fright, unable to speak.

The men of Cen's family were also imprisoned here, and Cen Yuan's second uncle explained loudly to him: "Suddenly a group of people came to kill us!"

Facing the entanglement of the prison guards, and the killer was able to spare time to try to kill the Cen family, it seemed that they were losing to each other.

Xiao Qi locked them all up with their backs facing the cell door, firstly to prevent the Cen family from being distracted to save others when they came out, and secondly to prevent someone from sneaking up on them from behind.

Duan Yannian thought of the corpses outside, and quickly shouted at Xiaoqi: "Brother Xiaoqi! The jailors in front have all been killed, and the guards at the door have no idea what happened inside! We are here to waste our time." A dead end!"

"Damn it!" Xiaoqi spat bloody saliva, "Brothers! Did you hear that?! We can't wait for rescue! Follow me! I'll take you straight out!"

Cen Yuan's second uncle carried the old matriarch on his back, and everyone in Cen's family also stood up from the corner.

Xiao Qi opened the cell door, and the surviving jailers gathered around him, and the killers also gathered in front of them.

"Protect the old, weak, women and children and Master Duan in the middle, and the Cen family will stand up with martial arts skills!"

Duan Yannian is well aware of his own weight, and is not dissatisfied with Xiao Qi's arrangement.

The jailers formed a circle, and Xiaoqi bore the brunt of the attack, and plunged into the crowd with a scimitar. The jailers also took up weapons and fought with the killers, blood splattered all over the place.They didn't love to fight, they only moved quickly along the breakthrough made by Xiao Qi.

Duan Yannian also picked up a knife from the dead killer. He didn't have martial arts, and it was useless to rush out, so he just huddled in the crowd and made a few sneak attacks while the killer was not paying attention.

A group of people maintained their formation and broke through the siege. Jailers continued to die, and the circle shrank again and again.

Running all the way, there were corpses of prison guards all over the place, Duan Yannian couldn't tell which side these corpses belonged to, but seeing Xiao Qi's increasingly dignified expression, he felt uneasy.
