I don't know how long the convoy has gone, Ling Xi is a little tired, she took a nap in the phoenix car, just opened her eyes, she lifted the curtain and looked out the window, it was dark outside, and night had fallen.

Aunt Yan tried her best to level a bowl of tea, so as not to let the hot tea spill out in the swaying car, and said, "Queen Mother, you can take a sip of tea." ”

Ling Xi was indeed a little thirsty, and seemed to feel a little hungry, it stands to reason that before dark, they should have arrived at the post station, why were they still walking on the road?

"Your Majesty, is this planning to do both day and night?"

Aunt Yan saw that Ling Xi had drunk the water, and immediately took the tea bowl in Ling Xi's hand, for fear that the tea stains would spill out and burn Ling Xi in the swaying car. ”

"Then when will this go, didn't Your Majesty send someone to explore the way ahead?" Ling Xi asked.

"I heard that Lord Zhou has taken a small team of people to the county seat in front of him, and let Zhizhou come to pick him up, Niangniang, please be relieved, you will be able to enter the city in a while."

Ling Xi looked out the window again, the black light was blinding, and he was really a little scared when he looked at it. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind the horse team, Ling Xi frowned, is this the county official coming to greet them?

Soon the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the rear of the royal car team seemed to be a little noisy, Ling Xi felt a little uneasy in her heart, she said to an attendant outside the window: "You go to the back and see, what's going on?" ”

The little chamberlain just wanted to walk to the rear, but saw a grandmother running to Ling Xi's car in a panic and said loudly: "Queen Mother, there are bandits from behind, they suddenly entered the convoy, and there is already a mess behind, you can find a place to hide." ”

Ling Xi was startled, she glanced at the back again, and there was a raging fire behind her, she said calmly and loudly: "Don't panic, go and light all the torches, there are many guards, but because the night is dark, the thieves will have a chance." ”

She said to the little chamberlain just now: "Go ahead quickly, tell Your Majesty, let Your Majesty find a safe place, and take refuge first." ”

After speaking, she shouted loudly to the guards guarding her beside the phoenix car: "You all go to the rear to quell the chaos." ”

But the guards stood motionless, and one of the guards said worriedly: "Queen Mother, if the ministers leave, you will have no one to escort." ”

"It doesn't matter if you come to this palace, the bandits are all behind, in case you kill it, Your Majesty will be in danger, hurry up, this is the order of this palace." Ling Xi said loudly again.

The guards didn't dare to resist the order, and the guards next to Ling Xi's car immediately ran towards the rear.

Xiang Hongxuan heard the words of the little chamberlain, he immediately stepped out of the dragon car, looked at the fire behind him, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of fighting, he frowned, and asked Xiao Dezi beside him, "Where is the queen?" Is that safe, Queen? ”

"Your Majesty, the queen mother also has a guard, and it should be fine for a while." Xiao Dezi said.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the rear, the wrinkles on his brows became deeper and deeper, although the fireworks for help had been released, Zhou Xun saw it, and immediately brought someone over to rescue him, but Xiang Hongxuan still seemed to be a little uneasy, suddenly Xiao Xiangxiang also got out of the car, as soon as she saw the fire in the rear, she remembered the scene when Nanxi Kingdom was destroyed, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she plunged into Xiang Hongxuan's arms, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is afraid." ”

Xiang Hongxuan hugged Xiao Xiangxiang, who was still trembling in his arms, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." ”

Saying that, Xiang Hongxuan pulled out the sword on the guard next to him, and he said to the guard: "Go to the front and see where Lord Zhou's men and horses are." ”

Xiang Hongxuan's hand continued to hold Xiao Xiangxiang tightly, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, Zhou Xun is coming soon, and these bandits will be arrested soon." ”

He looked at Ling Xifengche again, there were guards by her side, and Ling Xi was a person who had traveled through the palace, she should be fine, Xiang Hongxuan thought in his heart.

Aunt Yan was a little restless in the car, Ling Xi transferred the guards around her to the rear, in case a bandit killed here, Ling Xi would be in danger, she said with some anxiety: "Queen Mother, why don't you move to Your Majesty, the slave maid is a little panicked." ”

Ling Xi held Aunt Yan's hand with both hands and said softly: "It's okay Aunt Yan, the bandits are all behind, and it's too dark outside now, in case you get out of the car and get separated, then it's really called every day, and the ground is not working, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Ling Xi comforted Aunt Yan like this, in fact, she was also worried, the night was dark, and she couldn't see how many bandits there were at all, she couldn't take risks, she could only let the guards beside her go to the rear to resist, at least to buy some time for the rescue.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves reached Ling Xi's ears, she looked out the window, and by the faint light of the fire, she saw some masked people riding horses rushing to their cart from the woods on both sides, and suddenly the palace people and attendants outside the car were in chaos.

"Not good." Ling Xi immediately pulled down the curtains, she turned her head to look at Aunt Yan, and said, "It's broken, it's a trick." ”

Soon a group of bandits rushed to her phoenix car, the horses in front of the phoenix carriage were a little frightened, and suddenly scurried up, the phoenix cart also began to shake non-stop, Ling Xi and Aunt Yan were also thrown on their backs in the car, suddenly a masked man jumped on the phoenix cart, pulled up the reins, the frightened horse was suddenly pulled by the reins of the horse, and jumped wildly, Aunt Yan didn't pay attention, and fell out of the phoenix cart, and soon the masked man subdued the restless horse, and with both hands, the phoenix cart ran to the side of the mountain road, After a while, the phoenix car disappeared into the darkness.

Aunt Yan was dizzy from the fall, but she couldn't care about the pain in her head, she immediately got up from the ground and hid in the panic, she heard a few sharp horses' hooves behind her, she turned her head to look at Ling Xi's phoenix car, Ling Xi was still on the phoenix cart, and the phoenix cart had already been controlled by the bandits, and gradually disappeared into the night.

Aunt Yan's heart was pinched together, she grabbed the placket on her chest with one hand, this feeling, she also had it many years ago, the difference is that she was in the harem at that time, and today she is outside the palace, Aunt Yan's ears remembered the panicked shouts of the palace people, and she immediately rushed to the dragon car to Hongxuan without looking back.

Xiang Hongxuan heard a commotion, which seemed to be very close to him, and he shouted anxiously: "Come on, go to the back and see, what happened?" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang became even more scared, as if there were various scenes of fighting in front of her eyes, she hugged Xiang Hongxuan's waist tightly in horror, and her body shook even more.

Xiang Hongxuan also seemed to feel Xiao Xiangxiang's fear, and he immediately comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, Xiangxiang will be fine." ”

After a while, the guards came to Xiang Hongxuan with the embarrassed Aunt Yan, and Aunt Yan immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you go and save the queen mother, the queen mother's phoenix car was robbed by bandits." ”

With a bang, the sword in Xiang Hongxuan's hand fell, and he also let go of Xiao Xiangxiang, and he immediately asked loudly, "What about the queen's guards?" How could the queen be kidnapped by bandits? ”

"The guards were transferred to the back by Niangniang to quell the chaos, just the bandits took advantage of the chaos, so they jumped into Niangniang's phoenix car and drove to the mountain road, Your Majesty quickly sent troops to rescue Niangniang." Aunt Yan slammed her head on the ground and pleaded.

At this time, there was also the sound of horses' hooves in front, Xiang Hongxuan turned to look at the light of the torches that were getting closer and closer in front of him, and the figure of a person galloping towards him on a horse became clearer and clearer, and soon the man hurriedly dismounted, knelt down in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Pingchuan, a hundred households in the military camp of Chenping City, is late to save the car, please atone for your sins." ”

Xiang Hongxuan was extremely happy when he saw the black army behind Xue Pingchuan, and said, "Xue Baihu, how many men and horses are you carrying?" What about Zhou Xun? ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhizhou transferred all the troops in the city to escort them, there are about a few thousand people, and when the minister saw His Majesty's distress fireworks, he rushed to His Majesty non-stop, Lord Zhou didn't know the mountain road, and it was still behind."

"These people are enough," Xiang Hongxuan turned around and said to the guards, "The rest of the guards and Xue Baihu will follow me to rescue the queen." ”

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Xiangxiang was frightened, this barren mountain and wild mountains, the road was not clear, Xiang Hongxuan was going to save Ling Xi with this person, I was afraid that Ling Xi was not saved, Xiang Hongxuan would be in danger, she immediately threw herself into Xiang Hongxuan's arms, and said silently: "Your Majesty, don't go, the concubine is really afraid, Your Majesty begs you." ”

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Xiao Xiangxiang who was about to cry in his arms, he wiped away the tears on her face with his hands in distress, and just wanted to say something, but he fainted in his arms when he saw Xiao Xiangxiang, Xiang Hongxuan was startled, hugged Xiao Xiangxiang sideways, and shouted loudly: "Call the imperial doctor." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang's hands grabbed Xiang Hongxuan's sleeves, Xiang Hongxuan was worried about Xiao Xiangxiang and couldn't move, and he was worried about Ling Xi's safety, he was impatiently holding Xiao Xiangxiang and pacing back and forth outside the dragon car, just Zhou Xun arrived, and he learned about Ling Xi's abduction from the waiter on the side.

He walked in front of Xiang Hongxuan and said softly: "Your Majesty, this mountain road is rugged, and the night is dark, I don't know how many bandits there are, the royal driving team is chaotic, and the escort army will be gathered for a while, these people in front of me don't know if they can save Niangniang, in case of disaster to Niangniang, it will not be good, it is better for Your Majesty to go to the county town in front of you to settle down, and wait until dawn, with a large army to search the mountain, you will definitely be able to save Niangniang." ”

Xiang Hongxuan was anxious in his heart, he held Xiao Xiangxiang or kept pacing in front of the dragon cart, he knew that Zhou Xun's opinion was reasonable, it was difficult to find Ling Xi under such a black light, even if he found Ling Xi, in case of chaos, it would be even worse if Ling Xi was injured by mistake. In this dark night, Xiang Hongxuan stared at the mountains and forests on the side for a long time, he nodded silently, hugged Xiao Xiangxiang and walked onto the dragon car, and the dragon car began to drive towards the county seat in front.
