It is no wonder that Xiao Jinxuan will associate the misfortune of more than a year of thorns with heavenly punishment.

After all, she used her feelings for a lifetime in exchange for the opportunity to be reborn.

In the past, she was afraid of hurting Zhou Xianyu, and when she refused several times, the other party changed her life because of her infatuation, and she almost died many times.

And now that she and Zhou Xianyu are husband and wife, Xiao Jinxuan feels that God will let her go so easily as a person who violates her oath.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then pressed the carefree hairpin tightly to her chest, and said with a lonely face:

"Xianyu, I once thought that you would not die if you led the troops to the battle, and the two of us also made a private agreement for life, and everything was kept open and the moon was bright. But now I realize that the shackles of renunciation and love have never disappeared. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to stay together in this life, and one of them must die, and the other one will be spared. If that's the case, I'm really glad that God chose me Xiao Jinxuan. As long as your life is safe and sound, I will die of poison in the end, and there is no cure for it. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's personality is unassuming, and she is extremely introverted, so her love is also very deep, and it will not be as fiery as Zhou Xianyu.

But this does not mean that she does not love deeply, in fact, for Xiao Jinxuan, a person who was hurt by love in her previous life, she is actually more persistent in her feelings, and Zhou Xianyu is far more important than herself in her heart.

So even if she now vaguely guessed that her misfortune was caused by the vow she made when she was reborn, she only had joy and relief in her heart.

Because if God chooses to take her life, then at least Zhou Xianyu will be safe.

Although Xiao Jinxuan will not give up on herself because of this, she will still try her best to survive and take revenge.

But at least she has peace of mind, and she doesn't have to worry about Zhou Xianyu's life being changed, because if the other party dies, this is the most unacceptable thing for her.

Throughout the night, Xiao Jinxuan had a lot of nightmares, she dreamed that she was dead, and her soul was separated from her body again but was split into ashes by countless lightning bolts.

And Zhou Xianyu stood in front of her grave, with blood and tears in his eyes, and called her name over and over again.

But what Xiao Jinxuan didn't know was that she was bothered by everything in the dream, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

In fact, nightmares that were far more terrible than dreams were already quietly approaching her.

In the middle of the night, the gate of Crescent City was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city couldn't bear the sleepiness, and they were a little lazy.

But while the soldiers were napping, suddenly a man's command came from under the city gate:

"The supreme commander of the defenders of the city listens, we are waiting for the people of the imperial court who have come from the capital division. This is a decree stamped with the seal of the country, which can prove our identity. After a strict investigation, the city gate was opened quickly, so as not to delay our important affairs. ”

The sudden sound was extremely abrupt in the silent night, and the soldiers defending the city also woke up.

Especially when I heard that the twenty or so horseback riders below were actually from Jingshi.

The commander of the guards of Crescent City did not dare to delay, and after making sure that the holy decree was correct, he immediately opened the city gates.

And as the two dozen or so people slowly entered the city, Lu Yun, who had just shouted loudly to the soldiers in the city, looked at Ji Lingfeng, who was driving his horse at the forefront, with great respect.

"Duke, we have already arrived in Crescent City, since we are sure that the waste concubine Xiao is here, do we want to search it immediately, in case it is too late. After all, although the Royal Prince was blocked by our tactics, his subordinates were worried that it would be difficult for those bandits to cause too much interference to the Royal Prince. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but smile, and the gloomy color flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we have been on the road day and night for more than a month, and now although we have arrived in Crescent City, we are sleepy and tired of people and horses to do repairs tonight. The Ming Japanese Governors' Guild went to the government office in person and asked the local government to assist us in arresting Xiao Jinxuan. At that time, it will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort and achieve more results. ”

Having said this, Ji Lingfeng paused, and then after a soft chuckle, he couldn't help but continue:

"As for Zhou Xianyu's side, the Duke of Ben admits that he is indeed brave and good at fighting, and has the ability to be invincible. But I, Ji Lingfeng, bought off the bandits of a stockade and told them to go to the bloody slaughter of a small village that the imperial prince must pass through. This war king doesn't look at killing, but he has always taken care of the people. So he won't sit idly by, and I expected him to come to the rescue of the villagers. Although the prince is good at fighting, but those ordinary people are defenseless, under the protection of them, whether Zhou Xianyu can still retreat with his whole body, I am also very much looking forward to the result. ”

For more than a month, Ji Lingfeng has been following behind Zhou Xianyu not far away.

But now the reason why he can surpass the other party is not because Ji Lingfeng is stronger than Zhou Xianyu, but mainly because his heart is too black and ruthless.

Bought the bandits and used the lives of the entire village for fifty or sixty lives, forcing Zhou Xianyu to sit idly by, and these innocent people died tragically.

Zhou Xianyu's footsteps were so dragged down, and this was why Ji Lingfeng rushed to Crescent City first.

Seeing Ji Lingfeng's expression of victory, as the other party's most powerful subordinate now, Lu Yun, who also accompanied him out of Beijing this time, couldn't help but ask respectfully again:

"The woman we inadvertently saved on the road half a month ago, I really didn't expect her to know Xiao Jinxuan and inform us that the other party was going to Crescent City. Now that we're all here, the woman named Little Peony is worthless. Therefore, the subordinates want to ask the governor whether they need to clean up the people. ”

This time, they rushed into Crescent Moon City under Zhou Xianyu, in order not to clash with this prince and kill Xiao Jinxuan first.

After all, Ji Lingfeng is not stupid, although Empress Chen wants to get rid of Zhou Xianyu quickly, but he knows that this war king Chitose is not so easy to bring down.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng is even more vicious, he is going to kill Xiao Jinxuan first, and then make Zhou Xianyu feel unbearable, and he will mess up his own proportions, and then seize the opportunity to put the other party to death.

But before Xiao Jinxuan died, Ji Lingfeng was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Zhou Xianyu.

So he was rescued unintentionally and gave them the little peony who led the way to Crescent City, Lu Yun naturally felt that he should kill him.

But unexpectedly, Ji Lingfeng, who has always been ruthless, glanced at the petite figure on a horse behind him, and then said with a chuckle:

"No need, this little peony will be kept for now, this governor may still need her one day. Although this woman was jealous and hateful because of some trivial things, she was still planted in Xiao Jinxuan's hands. But there are still some clever ones, and they are good-looking, delicate and exquisite, and they can be of great use with a little training. ”

In all dynasties, there were special training for beautiful women, and these people were brought into the back houses of court officials as concubines and maids.

In order to eavesdrop on secrets, or to deceive people's minds, it is extremely vicious to entrap party henchmen in the power trick, but it is also a very effective trick.

And now Ji Lingfeng is loyal to the Empress Dowager Chen on the surface, and he is obedient to Xiangping, but his ambitions are great and he has never stopped.

So when he had real power in his hands, he not only gathered back the old ministry that had gone to the Prince of Thailand's mansion and was lucky enough to not die.

He secretly cultivated his power, and trained a group of beautiful women, waiting to use them to entrap the courtiers and form his own henchmen in the near future.

And because the little peony has learned juggling since childhood, her body is extremely soft, which is exactly the type that men like.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng was naturally reluctant to kill the other party, but wanted to be of great use in the future.

In order not to cause a commotion and make an arrest more secretly, Ji Lingfeng did not alarm the government, but chose to stay in an inn.

After dawn on the second day, he took Lu Yun alone, and the two of them came to the Crescent City Mansion alone.

With the Holy Decree given to him by Empress Chen, and Ji Lingfeng identifying himself, how dare the local officials disagree.

Naturally, they want soldiers for soldiers, and they want money for money, and in their eyes, Ji Lingfeng, a Beijing official, is no different from Qincha.

Therefore, soon Ji Lingfeng gathered a garrison of 300 people, distributed the portrait of Xiao Jinxuan prepared in advance, and began a city-wide search.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't know all this, because of the nightmare all night, tortured her, who was already weak, a very light person.

Therefore, she has never been sleepy, and the outside is completely bright, but she still hasn't gotten up.

Although Xiao Jinxuan really needed to rest now, the noisy shouts and scoldings outside the inn still woke Xiao Jinxuan up.

Xiao Jinxuan, who has been in a precarious environment all year round, has quickly turned vigilance into a habit.

Even as soon as she opened her eyes, her mind was already planning quickly, and she was guessing what was going on outside, and how she should face it next.

And when she got dressed, got up and walked to the wooden door of the private room, and broke the windshield paper on it a little, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly looked out.

It didn't matter what she looked at, Xiao Jinxuan saw a lot of soldiers standing in the hall of the inn, and the shopkeeper was also pulled for questioning.

The private rooms on the first floor have been forcibly pushed open, and the noise just now was made by the people who were forcibly dragged out in panic.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinxuan's heart sank.

Especially from her point of view, she can just see the leader of the team, who is holding a portrait to show the shopkeeper.

And the innkeeper who was standing aside and also looking at the portrait stretched out her hand from time to time and pointed at the private room where she lived.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan can't see where these government soldiers, I'm afraid that there is a good chance that they are coming for her.

So Xiao Jinxuan, who was sleepy and woke up completely, was already vigilant, even if she was far away from Jingshi, she **** packed her luggage, in order to have an accident and escape immediately.

Now she can't get out of the private room door, otherwise she will be caught directly.

It is also thanks to Xiao Jinxuan that when she was a child in Meizhuang, in order to starve a few less meals with Xiao Wenyao, she not only went into the water to fish, but also went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs.

Therefore, although the second floor of the inn is not low, Xiao Jinxuan, who was forced to be helpless, had to push open the window, step on the eaves under the window little by little, and prepare to go down.

It is because Xiao Jinxuan's vigilance has never been relaxed, so when choosing to stay in the inn, she did not ask for the window facing the street scene, the kind of private room with good lighting.

Instead, I chose a room that pushed open the window to be the back of the inn, a deserted alley, and no sunlight on the shady side.

And it was her character of not letting go of any details and being cautious that saved her life again at this critical moment.

Therefore, although the officers and soldiers surrounded all the exits of the inn, Xiao Jinxuan followed the window, fell to a certain height, flew out, and landed directly in the alley.

Although Xiao Jinxuan didn't know martial arts and was weak, when she fell to the ground, she only felt that her internal organs were about to be knocked out, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood on the ground.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't dare to delay the time at all, staggered to his feet after a little relief, and didn't even have time to take out the handkerchief to wipe the blood from his mouth.

She wiped her cuffs twice and fled deeper into the secluded alley.
