404. Failed to escape, one step too late

When the Duke of E Guo came out of the gate of the imperial study, he happened to meet the oncoming Queen Mother and the Queen.

"Sinner, I've seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother." The Duke of E stepped forward to salute. The Queen Mother sighed lightly and hurriedly said, "The old prince doesn't have to be like this, let's excuse me." ”

"Father." The queen stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support the Duke of Eguo. Looking at the old and haggard lifeless Duke E in front of her, the queen's eyes were slightly red, and she only felt that there were mixed tastes in her heart. My father still has to go to the battlefield to lead the troops to fight when he is old, and now that he has returned from defeat, he doesn't know how to be arranged by those people.

Duke E looked at his daughter, sighed in his heart and did not speak, and said goodbye to the queen mother and queen.

Today's shape is unfavorable, in case one day King Yan really hits Jinling, his wife and his wife are both old bones, and they won't be able to live for a few days. But the daughter is high on the throne of the queen... I don't know what the future holds. Thinking about the fact that his daughter has been depressed all these years, whether in the Yuejun palace or in the palace, the Duke of Eguo couldn't help but regret that if he had refused the marriage of the first emperor back then, it would not have been so much if he married an ordinary noble.

That's how it should be, that's it.

In the secluded mountain forest, Shang Qiao ran forward without pausing for a moment. Sweat soaked through his shirt and hair, but his still immature little face was tense, showing a resolute look. He fell on his shoulder obediently, even if he was a little uncomfortable because of Shang Qiao's violent running, he didn't say anything.

After a long time, Shang Qiao stopped. Looking back, I breathed a sigh of relief. Put Xiaoxiao on the ground, raise your hand and touch her little face, "Are you okay?" Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Is Brother Qiao tired?" Shang Qiao smiled faintly, "Don't be tired, take a rest, let's continue to hurry." ”

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, looked around and asked, "Brother Qiao, where is this?" ”

Shang Qiao looked around, also a little dazed. In the past few days, Nangong Huai and his party took them across the Li River and went all the way to the east. On the way, he was found twice by the people of Zixiao Palace, but unfortunately he died in the hands of Nangong Huai, and no matter how brave the people of Zixiao Hall were, it was useless. Once Nangong Huai threatened his life, they could only retreat.

Not long ago, the people of Zixiao Hall tried to rob people again. Only then did Shang Qiao seize the opportunity to injure Nangong Huai and fled with him. Although he didn't know where they were now, the people from Zixiao Hall were definitely nearby. It's just that... It depends on whether their luck is good or not, whether the people from Zixiao Hall find them first or the people from the Water Pavilion find them first.

In the dark mountain forest, you can only see the light in each other's eyes. Xiao Xiao was a little scared, and tightly grasped the corner of Shang Qiao's clothes. Shang Qiao also knew that she was frightened, such a young child, the experience of these days can be said to be thrilling. Leaned over and picked him up, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we'll be able to go out soon." Let's go eat our favorite hibiscus cake, okay? ”

"Hmm." He nodded obediently.

Shang Qiao walked quickly through the mountains and forests with his arms, and there was a slight sound not far away, Shang Qiao's eyes flashed, and someone approached!

Glancing around, Shang Qiao blocked the way between a big tree on the side of the road and a hillside rock. Raising his hand to silence her, he blinked his eyes and raised his little hand to cover his small mouth. Shang Qiao reached out and rubbed her little head with relief, stood up and walked behind her. I only took two steps, and sure enough, I saw a man in black coming this way, unfortunately... It's the killer of the Water Pavilion. Shang Qiao sighed with some regret in his heart.

Seeing Shang Qiao, the man in black stopped, "Shang Gongzi is so able to run?" What about the little girl? ”

Shang Qiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why should I sue you?" ”

The man in black sneered: "It's okay, just kill you and look for it slowly." ”

Shang Qiao also sneered, "Do you think... Surely you can kill me? ”

"Try it!" The man in black didn't talk nonsense, and rushed over directly.

Shang Qiao pursed the corners of his lips and raised the short knife at his waist to meet him. This was picked up by him before, and it was this short knife that injured Nangong Huai. It's a pity that he didn't die.

As a child who was once abandoned by his father and died tragically by his mother, Shang Qiao has always been more interested in learning martial arts than learning literature. In the past two years, Nangong Huai and Shang Rong have been taught, and from time to time there are Wei Junmo to give him advice, although Shang Qiao is only thirteen years old, his martial arts are not weak. Although it may be worse than the killers who have been in a hundred battles in the Water Pavilion, not every killer's martial arts are so powerful. It just so happened that this time Shang Qiao's opponent was a person whose martial arts were not so powerful.

Shang Qiao knew that once they missed, their hard work to escape would be in vain. So from the very beginning, he didn't have the slightest intention of being kind to his subordinates, and every move and style was done to his best and make a dead move. For a while, the killer was in a hurry. Shang Qiao took the opportunity to stab the man in black in the heart, he was shorter, and the man in black immediately fell to the end when he stabbed it from the bottom up.

Looking at the killer who fell to the ground, Shang Qiao gasped unlistened. This was actually the first time he had killed him, and then he reached out and rubbed his severely painful shoulder, although it was only a moment's work, he killed the man in black, but this person didn't let him take much advantage. If it weren't for luck, maybe someone would have died or lived in the end.

Deeply feeling that his strength was weak, Shang Qiao gritted his teeth, withdrew his short knife, and turned around to find Yaoyao. was blocked by a big stone, and he didn't see the scene of Fang Cai Shang Qiao's murder. It's just that the noise outside let her know that Brother Qiao is fighting with someone, and when she saw Shang Qiao appear in front of her again, she immediately stood up and pounced, "Brother Qiao." ”

"It's okay, don't cry......"

Reaching out and touching the little girl's wet face, he knew that she had cried, Shang Qiao said softly, "Let's go quickly." "Now that someone has caught up, there will be more pursuers soon, and there is no room left here.

The two children who were messing around in the mountains naturally didn't know how chaotic this mountain forest and the surrounding area were at this time. Because of the loss of Shang Qiao and the untimely death, the people from the nearby Water Pavilion and Zixiao Hall have all gathered here. One side wants to catch them, the other side wants to save them. As long as the two sides meet, it will be a never-ending firefight.

When the sky was slightly drunk, the two were still found by Nangong Huai first.

Nangong was not seriously injured, but he was caught off guard by Shang Qiao and injured his left arm, and then flew up and hit the vest. After looking for a night, and seeing Shang Qiao and Xiao Xiao again, Nangong Huai's face was also gloomy and violent. Shang Qiao hugged Xiao Xiao tightly and stared at the person in front of him vigilantly.

Nangong Huai sneered: "It's really amazing, but it's a pity that it's still a little tender." Give me that little girl, and the old man will spare your life. ”

Shang Qiao gritted his teeth, "Don't think! ”

"Oh? Then die. Nangong Huai said coldly.

Shang Qiao glanced at the three black-clothed men behind Nangong Huai, knowing that he would definitely not be able to beat the other party, so he had to turn around and run away. It's just that he is a half-old child with a small child, where can he run a few adults. Soon someone was about to catch up, and at this moment, several people on the other side quickly swept over.

Nangong Huai's face sank, "Catch him!" ”

Two men in black greeted the people who came this way, and the other man in black pounced towards Shang Qiao. Shang Qiao gritted his teeth and raised the short knife in his hand with one hand to block it, but he was hit in the shoulder with a palm, and his body shook and fell backwards. The man in black didn't care about Shang Qiao, and at the same time grabbed Xiao Xiao in Shang Qiao's arms with one hand, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yao, who had been lying quietly in Shang Qiao's arms, suddenly grabbed a dagger from nowhere and stabbed the back of his hand without hesitation.

Who would have thought that a three-year-old would hurt someone? It was just a moment of effort, and he fell down the hill with Shang Qiao, and disappeared after a few rolls.

The man in black gritted his teeth and was about to jump down to find someone, when a cold wind hit the back of his head, and he quickly dodged the sudden blow behind him.

Shang Qiao protected the dead in his arms, and the two rolled all the way and fell to the foot of the mountain. Finally, he was lucky not to collapse into any sharp stones and stakes, but even so, Shang Qiao still felt that his body was in pain. With a low groan, Shang Qiao hurriedly sat up and looked at the young man in his arms. He was not injured when he was protected by Shang Qiao in his arms, but he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Shang Qiao hurriedly pinched her little face, rubbed her frightened little hands, and said in a low voice: "Young, unexpected, don't be afraid..."

When he came back to his senses, he finally couldn't help but cry with a whimper.

"What's going on?" A gentle and harmless voice sounded not far away, and Shang Qiao looked up and saw a man in white standing not far away. After a closer look, he found that the man in white had three thousand green silk less than ordinary people's head. The appearance is gentle and handsome, and the smile makes people feel good at first glance.

It's just that at this time, Shang Qiao could only stare at the other party vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”

The man in white smiled and said, "Little monk Nianyuan, what do the two little donors need to help the little monk to help?" ”

Shang Qiao frowned, he had heard of Nianyuan's name, it seemed to be very powerful, and he was still a person from King Yan. Therefore, it should be your own talent. But... Why is Nianyuan here at this time?

"What is this place?"

Nian Yuan smiled: "Don't you know, the little donor? It is only 200 miles away from Jinling City. Rather... This mountain is not famous, how can the two little donors be here? ”

Shang Qiao snorted lightly, "Why are you here?" ”

Nianyuan smiled and said, "Perhaps, this is fate." If I hadn't been here, how would I have met two little benefactors? With that, Nian Yuan walked towards the two of them.

"Don't come here!" Shang Qiao said in a deep voice.

Nian Yuan raised his eyebrows, "The little monk sees that the donor's injury is not light......

"You don't have to." Shang Qiao got up and hugged him.

Nian Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "This way, it's really a bit troublesome." ”

Shang Qiao's heart sank, and before he could react, he felt a strong wind behind him, and the back of his neck hurt, and the whole person fell into darkness. Shang Qiao fell to the ground, fell into the hands of a man in black, and was sent into Nian Yuan's arms. Nianyuan hugged the little girl in his arms, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful little girl, but it's a pity that she has become a little dirty cat." ”

This night, especially rolling down from the mountain, is indeed a bit of a wolf. The original little bun has long been scattered, and the little face is a little dirty because of crying and dust. There is also that body, a pair, compared to Nianyuan, who is dressed in white and dustless, it looks even more pitiful to the wolf.

Seeing Nian Yuan stretch out his hand to pinch his little face, Xiao Xiao suddenly stretched out his little hand and grabbed Nian Yuan's hand and bit it down fiercely.

"Tsk......" Nianyuan frowned and didn't move. It wasn't until he bit his cheeks so hard that he loosened his mouth that he raised his hand to look, and a complete tooth mark appeared on his slender hand with blood stains. Nianyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's really as powerful as your mother." ”

"Master, your hand ......," the man in black stepped forward and whispered.

Nianyuan smiled: "It's okay, go back and take the medicine again." Let's go. ”

I didn't expect this person to be bitten hard by myself, but he wasn't angry at all, and he didn't know what to do for a while. But as soon as he heard that he was leaving, he immediately quit.

"Brother Qiao! Brother Qiao..."

Nianyuan raised his injured hand, pinched his little face with two fingers and smiled: "Good boy, don't make noise." Come back with me, okay? ”

"Don't, don't! You're the big badass! "Crying.

Master Nianyuan said that it was the first time someone said that he was a big villain. Raised eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? Am I the big bad? Then I'll let someone kill you, Brother Qiao, okay? The voice was stunned, and the big eyes full of tears looked at Nianyuan pitifully. Nian Yuan smiled: "This is good." Poor boy, you've had a lot of trouble these days, haven't you? If your mother knows about it, you don't know how to feel distressed. Not in the future. ”

Xiao Xiao pouted and looked at Nianyuan, "Mother and father will beat you!" ”

Nian Yuan smiled even more happily, "Oh? Your mother and father are so powerful? ”

"Humph!"

Nianyuan pinched her little nose and said, "Even if that's the case, before your mother beats me, I can beat your brother Ah Qiao first." ”

"Master, this place should not stay for a long time." Beside him, the man in black reminded. Nian Yuan nodded, "Let's go." ”

He turned around and left.

"Master, what should I do with this kid?"

"One is a belt, and two are also belts, take it, so as not to make a fuss about the little girl."

"Yes." The man in black leaned over and picked up Shang Qiao and kept up with Nian Yuan's voice.

A moment later, several figures sped towards this direction.

"Changfeng Gongzi, we're late!"

It was getting dark, and there were still a few traces of blood and messy footprints on the ground. Lin Changfeng stood aside, his handsome face was cold, "Damn it!" It's a step too late! Where did they go? The man next to him looked at the footprints, sighed, and said, "I went east, but... There is a river in front of you, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find the footprints after crossing the river. ”

Lin Changfeng said coldly: "No matter, send someone to chase east!" The people of the Water Pavilion are not allowed to let go of any of them! Kill me without mercy! ”

"Yes."

Lin Changfeng let out a cold sound, turned around and flew away. The damn little ones have already arrived, and they have actually made them one step too late and lost. Wait for Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo to come over, and if they know about it, won't they pinch him to death?

In an elegantly decorated wing room, Gong Yuchen sat happily in the room and waited. After a while, a woman in black walked out with a small doll in her arms.

"Pavilion Master."

The young man was placed on the table in front of Gong Yuchen, and the little face that had been washed clean was still pink and delicate. However, the experience of these days has made her lose some weight, her originally round little face and chin are already a little pointed, and her bright eyes are bigger and brighter. Wearing a pink shirt with delicate embroidery, her soft hair has been carefully tied into two buns, and the pink ribbons are tied into beautiful patterns, which look even more cute on the side of her pink face.

Gong Yuchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is decent, it is indeed Xiao Mo'er's daughter." ”

was praised by others, but he didn't appreciate it at all, "Bad monk!" Go away! I want Brother Qiao! ”

Gong Yuchen was stunned, and his eyes calmly looked at the little girl sitting on the table, and raised his eyebrows: "What bad monk?" ”

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes, "The bad monk still wants to pretend to be an ugly ghost and deceive people!" How did your hair grow out so quickly? ”

The corners of the black-clothed woman standing behind Gong Yuchen twitched, and she finally couldn't help it. It stands to reason that if someone dares to be so rude to the pavilion master, they must be subordinates to break each other's corpses into thousands of pieces. But the fact that a three-year-old child said this makes people feel a little... Moreover, the pavilion master did not seem to be angry.

Gong Yuchen also seemed a little curious, "Oh? How can you tell? ”

Impatient, "I just saw it." Clumsy. "Obviously it's that bad monk, thinking that by changing into a black robe, wearing an ugly mask, and growing black hair, he can fool the smart adult? Shigong couldn't fool her by pretending to be Feifei in vain.

Gong Yuchen raised his little chin with interest and looked left and right, and said curiously: "So powerful? Is it true that children have more powerful eyes than adults? He was unhappy, and he was about to open his mouth when he lowered his head, but Gong Yuchen quickly pinched his cheeks.

"It's not a good habit to like to bite." Gong Yuchen said with a smile.

"I don't like to bite, you're the big bad." retorted dissatisfiedly, and his mother said that biting is not a good child.

Gong Yuchen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you afraid of me?" ”

He blinked and looked at him blankly. Gong Yuchen smiled: "You say I'm a big villain, don't you?" I've heard that children's hearts and livers are the most replenished. You said... Should I give it a try? ”

Xiao Xiao's face turned pale suddenly, and he quickly turned around and wanted to crawl to the other end of the table, but was grabbed by the collar from behind by Gong Yuchen and carried back. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Gong Yuchen was suddenly happy, "You are obedient, I will consider how about not eating you?" ”

He pursed his lips aggrievedly and didn't dare to speak.

Gong Yuchen smiled with satisfaction: "This is a good child." In the future, you will follow this seat, this seat will treat you well, and it will definitely hurt you more than your father's mother. Xiao Xiao turned his little face and ignored him, Gong Yuchen didn't care, and reached out to hand Xiao Xiao to the woman in black behind him, "Take good care of her." ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master."
