Chapter 18: Misfortune

The other palm of the person who came covered the back of her head, and after a whirlwind, Shen Ruojiao was pressed against the door, and the tip of her delicate nose hit her chest as hard as iron.

By the moonlight, Shen Ruojiao recognized that the person in front of her was the man in Xuanyi he had seen in the market before.

Shen Ruojiao had never had such intimate contact with a foreign man, and immediately struggled, but was firmly imprisoned by the man's powerful arm and couldn't move.

Shen Ruojiao's heart was ruthless, and her dexterous jade foot crushed the man's foot hard, the shoes she was wearing today had a pointed head, and she riveted her strength again, this foot was enough to make his skin open.

But he only gasped, and the large hand covering half of her face trembled slightly, showing no signs of loosening.

He pulled his other hand from the back of her head and made a silent gesture to adjust his posture and motioned for her to look out.

Shen Ruojiao was shocked and looked through the crack in the door in disbelief.

Four fierce burly men were looking around, looking for her traces, and they all held daggers in their hands.

"I was found by that stinky. ”

"Chase after her, she won't be able to run far. ”

The men scolded and walked away.

Shen Ruojiao was a little stunned, those people all had sharp blades in their hands, their purpose was probably not so simple as following, if she continued to stay at the entrance of the alley just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, the man in Xuanyi saved her.

But this is not a reason for him to do anything, besides, everyone is far away, and he still doesn't let go.

Shen Ruojiao motioned for him to take his hand away with his eyes, and the man in Xuanyi let go of his grip on her.

Seeing that her face was thin and angry, the man in Xuanyi took two steps back and arched his hand: "I am in a hurry, and I am offended." ”

Shen Ruojiao looked around, this was the courtyard of an ordinary family, she frowned and said: "Lang Jun came to the rescue, Ruo Jiao is very grateful, but Lang Jun's way is really insulting." ”

Shen Ruojiao is not an unreasonable person, but this courtyard is clearly wide and empty, but this person has pushed himself against that narrow and cramped place, even if the current folk customs are open, there is no big defense between men and women, and there has never been a strange man and woman who are so close when they first meet.

In the past, she lived in a simple house, that is, with her cousin Zhao Chong, who had no guesses, and the most intimate thing she did was to go hand in hand to buy candy people in the year of the general horn.

Today, however, she was forcibly pressed into her arms by this man, and even though he had taken two steps back, she could still smell the lingering scent of plants and trees from him.

How could she not be ashamed.

"It's not thoughtful, and I hope the lady will forgive me. The man bowed his head again, and the light was dim, and she couldn't see clearly, not knowing that his face was full of contentment at the moment.

Of course, he had many ways to subdue her and silence her, but how could he get him to touch her so closely.

It was the first time he had felt so genuinely that he owned her, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms on her body made him feel uneasy.

Before he could savor it, the cold hairpin pressed against his neck.

The beauty, who was still shy and timid, had already sunk her face at this time, and she was as cold as ice: "Who are you, why are you following me?"

Shen Ruojiao was keen and intelligent, and quickly pulled out of Fang Cai's fright, and he sensed that something was wrong.

The man's throat rolled, and he suddenly chuckled, pinched the handle of the hairpin with two fingers and pushed it out: "The lady is angry, I just saw the lady being followed by this group of people in the market, but I was afraid that the lady would be hurt, so I followed from afar." ”

Shen Ruojiao's hand was pushed away lightly, she was shocked in her heart, she felt the disparity in strength between the two, and she also knew that the man did not have malicious intentions, otherwise, with his force, if he wanted to be unfavorable to her, he didn't need to talk nonsense at all.

She simply inserted the pearl hairpin back into the cloud bun, her face was expressionless, and she continued to ask: "May I ask where the son's family lives, I will come to thank my family another day." ”

"Under the surname Qi, a single name is a real word, is a traveler, just came to Qijing not long ago, and has no fixed place. Qi Zhen replied calmly, his eyes followed her slender jade hand.

He should have helped her put on the hairpin just now, women like caring men.

Shen Ruojiao was silent for a moment, and she didn't know whether she believed his words or not, and then said after a long time: "Young Master Qi has seen the appearance of those thieves clearly. ”

Not only did he see his appearance clearly, he had already left a secret signal along the way, and those few thieves who did not know whether they were alive or dead would soon be captured by his secret guards, and what awaited them would be the most cruel torture.

But his eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and I haven't seen it clearly." ”

Just leave these things to him to deal with, and don't have to dirty her eyes.

Shen Ruojiao was a little disappointed, she wanted to follow these killers to track down.

Being hunted down and killed in Qijing City is something she has never encountered, those big men have a clear goal, they are coming for her, but who is going to kill her?

If you talk about making enemies, there are only Concubine Liu and General Liu, but do they really dare to touch her?

Even though General Liu couldn't get used to the power of Shen Xiang's lineage, he couldn't afford to be offended.

In addition to Liu Guifei, is there anyone else eyeing her?

Shen Ruojiao was preoccupied, and casually answered that she knew, so she opened the door and walked out.

Qi Zhen hurriedly followed behind her: "This is some distance from the market, I really want to lead the way for the lady." ”

This person has been sincere from beginning to end, so that Shen Ruojiao can't refuse, plus she is indeed not good at finding her way, so she is blessed.

The two didn't say anything all the way.

Qi Zhen enjoyed it a lot, she didn't have to speak, she was silent like this, and it was beautiful enough to make his heart tremble.

If she opened her mouth, her sweet and cold voice would make him even more forgetful, even if she opened her mouth to ask for the stars and moon in the sky, I was afraid that he would promise to agree.

In this world, there is no one like her, every move affects his heart.

It's just that she doesn't seem to remember, or never remembers.

Qi Zhen's eyes darkened, and there was a flickering light in his eyes.

Shen Ruojiao didn't notice Qi Zhen's mood swings, and when she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, she sank her face: "What does Qi Gongzi mean by this?"

This person has been like this again and again, it's really rude, is she really bullied?

Seeing her unhappy look, Qi Zhen hurriedly let go and explained: "I just suddenly remembered that I had a thing in the market before, which was very suitable for the lady, and I really had a fate with the lady and wanted to give this thing to the lady." The real servant is waiting in the market, why don't you go with the lady?"

Shen Ruojiao frowned, not wanting to have too much to do with him anymore, and was thinking about how to refuse.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from not far away, and after a noisy human voice, someone shouted: "Go to the water!

With a crackling sound, the fire grew louder and larger, and the flames flew high and leaped to devour the dust in the air.

The sudden change shocked both Shen Ruojiao and Qi Zhen.
