It was already dusk when I checked into the inn. Looking through the window at the bare branches in the distance, three or two sparrows jumped between the branches, and then suddenly flew away. Rows of houses are hidden between tree forks, and people are constantly hanging lanterns in front of their homes.

Xiao Chuan also lit the candles in the house, "Today is finally in danger, but it's a pity that my sister's hair is so good." ”

I didn't reply to her words, just stared at the sky outside the window and looked at the stars.

I am more and more afraid of the word fate, because I really feel that when fate comes, you can't hide from it, no matter whether the result is good or bad.

"Sister, it's cold by the window. ”

"Xiao Chuan, I'm so confused now. ”

"What does my sister think, the days are still very long, and when we find the astrologer, we don't have to wander. I heard that Jingguo has been encouraging the cultivation of wasteland all these years, we can go to Jingguo, as long as there is a land, we can spend the rest of our lives in peace. ”

"Well, it's a good choice. Jingguo is an enlightened country, and perhaps, the astrologer is also there. ”

I was thinking about what would happen after I went to Jingguo, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing out the candle. The room fell into darkness, and Xiao Chuan was startled and went to light a candle in the dark.

I don't know if it was me dazzled or if something had happened, but a dark shadow flashed before my eyes.

Xiao Chuan hadn't lit the candle yet, but there seemed to be no sound behind him, and I turned around to find that there was indeed no Xiao Chuan behind me.

"Xiao Chuan?" my spirit immediately tensed.

Walking over to the table, the matches were still scattered on the table. I lit the match and lit the lamp.

"Xiao Chuan, where are you?" I called out her name as I searched the room.

Suddenly, four or five people jumped in from the window, all black, and there was no sign of where they came from.

One of them said: "Concubine Niangniang, please follow us back to the palace immediately." ”

"Who are you?" look at them, maybe they won't hurt me.

"We're just doing what we're told. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two or three more people broke into the window, and they were a little overwhelmed when they saw the situation in the house.

The man in black who had just spoken to me was visibly startled by the newcomers, and he asked, "Who are you?"

The newcomers realized that there were no people of their own, and they didn't speak, but they flashed their daggers hidden in their sleeves and stabbed at us.

"Protect Madame!" the man in black shouted, and began to fight with them.

The room was in chaos, and a man with a black man pulled me out of the house, and soon a man in black with a dagger chased after me. These people beat them from inside to outside, and at this time, the whole inn was in chaos.

Some people hid and didn't go out, and some people fled the inn with their burdens on their backs.

In a panic, suddenly a person grabbed my other arm, I looked over, it turned out to be Xiao Tianli!

Before I could speak, Xiao Tianli took advantage of the fact that these black-clothed people had no time to take care of me, and quickly escaped from the inn with me.

After running for a long distance, everything was quiet. I shook off his hand and said, "Xiao Chuan is gone!

Xiao Tianli pulled me back and said, "Don't go." I'll go. Waiting here for our return. With that, he hurried back.

Until his figure disappeared into the vast darkness of the night. I looked around and there was nothing but a dead tree. I sat under the low tree, staring at the place where Xiao Tianli left, probably too tired, and fell asleep in a daze after sitting for a while.

In my dream, I saw the magnificent East Palace, the exquisite little garden of the Linglong Palace, and Xiao Chuan in palace clothes, but the prince's face appeared again, and he stabbed at me with a sword in his hand.

I woke up in a dream and I was lying on a bed. Xiao Chuan held a bowl of warm soup and said, "Wake up." Come and have some hot soup. ”

When I saw Xiao Chuan, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I remembered the thrilling scene of last night in my mind. took the soup from Xiao Chuan's hand and asked, "Where is Xiao Tianli?"

"He's gone. ”

"Gone?"

"yes. Yesterday, a man in black took me away, but fortunately he didn't want to kill me, and later, Xiao Tianli found me and rescued me. ”

Xiao Chuan's description is very simple, I said: "We hurt Xiao Tianli, but he saved us again and again. ”

"Before he leaves, let me tell you that he no longer wants to return to the country, he wants to use his new identity to obtain the martial arts champion and defend his home and country in a new way. ”

Listening to Xiao Chuan's words, I was a little surprised, Xiao Tianli, what's wrong?

"Okay, sister, wouldn't it be great that Young Master Xiao could have such an idea. I think you should worry about yourself by now. These men in black seem to be determined to bring you back to the East Palace. ”

"Last night, there were two groups of people in black, one group wanted to take me back to the East Palace, and the other group wanted to kill me. ”

"What?" Xiao Chuan was taken aback.

"These two groups of people also fought because of this, and Xiao Tianli had a chance to save me. ”

"In this way, there are at least two people, one who wants us to go back to the East Palace, and the other who wants us to never return to the East Palace. ”

"There are not a few people who don't want me to go back to the East Palace, but who is the person who wants me to go back to the East Palace?"

fell into silence with each other, this East Palace, it is really getting more and more incomprehensible to me.
