The setting sun has already approached the Western Mountain, and the sky in the west is all red. The sunset makes the shadow of the small kitchen very long.

"Master Li, I'm here."

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl dressed as a maid walked into the small kitchen, apparently in a good mood.

"It's Miss Xing'er. It's not ready yet. It will take a while before it is ready."

The man who was cooking turned around and responded, then continued to shake the frying spoon in his hand.

"Yeah."

The bun-faced maid nodded lightly, then pulled up a chair and sat down, resting her elbows on her knees, supporting her chin with both hands, and looking at Li Miao steadily with her big, bright eyes.

"Give it to your lady."

A quarter of an hour later, a hot bowl of bacon and egg fried rice appeared on the dining table. This bowl of bacon and egg fried rice was richer than the previous one, with two more poached eggs and a few more fried vegetables.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

The bun-faced maid showed a sweet smile, and when she glanced at the deluxe bowl of bacon and egg fried rice, she subconsciously took a sip of her mouth and swallowed her saliva.

Seeing this, Li Miao couldn't help but feel funny, and said: "Okay, don't be greedy, there is still something in the pot, just give it to your lady, and then come over and eat with me."

"Hehe...thank you, sir."

The bun-faced maid suddenly showed a bright smile, then picked up the bowl of bacon and egg fried rice on the dining table and walked out of the kitchen happily, and returned again after a while.

……

"It's so good."

The bun-faced maid was obviously overstuffed and sat on the stool with some discomfort.

Looking at her, Li Miao suddenly remembered something, and asked the bun-faced maid curiously: "By the way, Miss Xing'er, do you know what happened this afternoon? Around the time of Youshi, I

I heard a loud noise coming from near Xiu Alley."

Xiuxiang is an alley near Zhefu. It is relatively close to Li Miao's small yard, and is only separated by a wall.

When he came back from the counting house today, Li Miao suddenly heard a noise coming from Xiu Alley, as if someone was trying to catch someone. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to go over and take a look.

But facing the high wall of Zhefu, there is really no good way.

He doesn't have the ability to jump so high, then lie down on the wall and stick his head out.

Hearing him talk about this incident, the bun-faced maid said seriously: "Master Li, I heard that a very powerful thief ran nearby, and the officers and soldiers are chasing the thief."

Li Miao asked again: "Did you catch the thief in the end?"

The bun-faced maid shook her head and said: "I haven't caught him. The thief's martial arts are very powerful. Under the siege of those officers and soldiers, he could kill one officer and soldier with every sword strike. In the end, he calmly fell from the ground.

He jumped up, stepped on the shoulder of an officer and soldier, jumped again with the help of that officer's shoulder, and disappeared in front of those officers and soldiers in the blink of an eye."

Li Miao: "..."

Are you sure there is such a powerful person?

I don’t know where this maid got this news from. It sounds like a story, and it doesn’t sound real no matter how you listen to it...

Seeing Li Miao's expression at this time, the maid with the bun face mistakenly thought that Li Miao was taking offense at the murderous thief. After all, scholars are generally less courageous, at least in the maid's worldview.

He comforted him and said: "Master Li, you don't have to worry or be afraid. That thief will never dare to come and offend Zhe Mansion, let alone hurt you."

Why am I worried and scared?

Li Miao didn't know why. After hearing the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because this is Zhefu."

The bun-faced maid blinked her big eyes, as if it was natural.

Li Miao: "..."

After putting away the dishes, the sky was completely dark.

After watching the bun-faced maid leave, Li Miao returned to his room. Just as he was about to light the oil lamp and read the sage's book, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

In an instant, my hair stood on end.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cold voice.

"Don't move! If you move again, I'll cut your neck."

Li Miao didn't dare to move at all, cold sweat dripped down her cheeks, and she was so panicked inside.

He is just an ordinary engineering man from the 21st century, who has never encountered such a thing.

I really can’t believe what the little maid said. She also said that no thief would dare to offend Zhefu, let alone hurt him. So who is the person standing behind him now?

Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she said nervously: "This heroine, I have something to say. No matter what your request is, I promise that I will try my best to satisfy you. No, I will definitely satisfy you."

From the cold voice just now, I could tell that the person behind me was a woman.

"Light the oil lamp first." The woman behind ordered.

So, Li Miao lit the oil lamp, and the dark room suddenly became brighter.

"Slowly turn around."

The woman behind him ordered again: "Don't make any unnecessary moves, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."

Li Miao slowly turned around according to what the woman said, and finally saw the woman's appearance clearly.

He is about twenty years old, wearing black night clothes with some blood stains. He is tall and only slightly shorter than him. He has a delicate and cold face with unhealthy whiteness. He holds a long sword in his right hand.

on his neck, looking at him coldly.

The heroine said coldly: "Open your mouth."

"For..."

As soon as Li Miao opened his mouth, he felt something slippery slipping into his mouth, then down his throat and into his stomach, so fast that he had no chance to react.

"Ahem..."

Li Miao's face changed suddenly, and she quickly asked: "What did you give me to eat?"

The female hero took back the long sword placed on Li Miao's neck and said calmly: "Heart-eating Soul Pill, after a month, if you don't get the antidote, your mind will be confused, and your heart will be eaten by countless insects. Finally,

He will die from severe pain in his heart."

Hearing this, Li Miao's face turned ugly.

Seeing this, the heroine said again: "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. As long as you listen to me during this period, I will give you the antidote."

You even force-fed me that Lao Zi’s Heart-Eating Soul Pill, and you still said you didn’t have any ill intentions?

Li Miao's expression showed no intention of relaxing, and he watched the woman casually put the sword in her hand on the table.

Li Miao couldn't help but feel evil.

Obviously, she is in an injured state now, and there is no weapon in her hand. There is a high chance that she can capture the woman in front of her by surprise. Once she is captured, she can completely capture her.
