The dark night seems to be smeared with boundless ink on the sky. The moon rose higher and higher, through wisps of clouds, through the faint twinkling of stars, and finally hid behind the clouds, and a few barks of dogs were heard in the distance.

Cardamom also squinted her eyes and tugged at Chu Tao's sleeve uneasily: "Miss Jiang, those people look so scary. ”

Chu Tao looked at the iron armor covered by the ink-colored clothes and emitted a cold light, for some reason Chu Tao remembered the fine light on the blade, the two rows of black like a pine forest all over the field, the sunset had sunk, Chu Tao could only vaguely see the sign hanging on the waist of these people from the moonlight that drilled out of the clouds, which was also pitch black.

Chu Tao tightened the horse's rope, and even the horse felt the majesty of the army in front, alternating the horse's hooves and hesitating to step forward, snorting hot air from his nose, and he was anxious.

Seeing this, Chu Tao touched the horse's back to comfort the horse, and whispered to Cardamom: "This is the forbidden army." Looks like something is wrong. But we didn't do anything, don't be afraid, they didn't come at us. "Chu Tao said this to Cardamom, and it was also said to himself.

The Royal Forbidden Army is the army around the emperor, and the leading general is not only responsible for the emperor's safety, but also responsible for most of the spies and spy agencies.

Thinking of the depressed scene in Jinling City, Chu Tao now regrets not pulling someone to ask what happened first. Chu Tao pressed the palace waist card in her hand, she knew in her heart that she could not reveal her identity until she understood the matter first.

"Listen to Cardamom, don't reveal our identities yet, let's go ask what's going on." Hatsu Tao slowly pulled over the horse and got off the horse in style.

"Miss Jiang, there seems to be someone in front of us." Cardamom said.

Indeed, there was a man and a horse standing in front of him, and the horse, which was also black, quietly accompanied the owner by a tree.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree, a young man in black leaned on his chest, with his hands in front of his chest and one foot on the trunk.

Black and vertical hair, oblique and heroic sword eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular outlines, slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the night, cold and arrogant but full of grandeur, alone and independent exudes the strength of the world.

This, this, this!!

What's up? What is Xue Congjia doing here?

Hatsu Tao swallowed her saliva and pressed Cardamom's hand, she clearly felt the heart of a deer beating extremely hard under Cardamom's calm surface. "Oh, it's okay, that's an acquaintance of mine."

Of course, Chu Tao didn't pretend to be so sentimental that he thought that Xue Congjia was waiting for her here, not waiting for her, so he was probably the same as himself, ready to go out of the city.

Cardamom blushed, Jiang Chutao's elopement with others on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was well known to everyone in Jinling City.

When Chu Ying first married into the palace, she was also affected by Chu Tao's reputation, and many servants privately rumored that Chu Ying took the initiative to seduce the three kings to marry into the palace.

There are also servants who said, how did the Jiang family do it now, my sister seduced a man, and my sister eloped with the family, which is really convincing.

Cardamom is still full of rumors that Miss Jiang San eloped with her family, and when she heard this rumor, Cardamom still felt incredible, a good eldest lady didn't do it, and wanted to elope with her family? However, after she saw Xue Congjia, her only thought was that if the family was him, then eloping would be very reasonable.

This Ding has a face that makes people want to elope with him!

What a fairy-like man! He's just a little family!

Chu Tao thought, alas, what kind of luck is this, I have already said that I will never see him again, but in the blink of an eye, this guy haunts here like a ghost, and he is really angry.

Chu Tao woke up Cardamom at once, look at this girl's appearance, I haven't seen a man! "Cardamom, what's the name of the princess's sister's cousin?"

Cardamom woke up like a dream, and then took back her stupid gaze: "Cousin Pei's name is Pei Ding." ”

"Oh, you wait for me, just stand here, don't eavesdrop, I'll go ask something." Chu Tao thought that it was not a bad thing to meet Xue Congjia, at least she could ask what happened.

And Cardamom has already made up a bunch of erotic things in her brain, is it that the family is worried about Miss Jiang's safety, so he came to protect her? Wow, this is too sweet!

Chu Tao walked up to Xue Congjia with a hanger's expression: "I said, why are you here?" ”

Xue Congjia frowned, this is also what he wants to ask.

Hatsu Tao said, "I know with my toes that you are going to go out of the city. But what's going on with so many forbidden troops? Is something big wrong? ”

Xue Congjia said: "You ...... The emperor of Dongyi was assassinated in the hunting ground, and the crown prince sacrificed his life to save him and was injured. ”

"Oh, then these forbidden armies are ...... Arrest the Assassins, right? Hatsu Tao understood.

Mother! Who is so bold that even the emperor Lao'er dares to assassinate!

Chu Tao roughly estimated that the four gates of Jinling City, southeast, northwest and northwest, should be guarded by forbidden troops, after the assassin escaped, the best place to go was to hide in Jinling City, Jinling City is so large and has a large population, which originally brought difficulty to the search, and the assassin must be fully prepared, he must have a legal identity in Jinling City.

The hunting ground was relatively close to the southern city gate, and if the city gate was sealed off without the obstruction of buildings, the assassins would not be able to run far. Hatsumomo felt that this was the reason for the closure of the city gates.

"I won't tell you more, I'm going out of the city to find someone, the matter is urgent, let's talk about it later." Chu Tao felt that she had matured a lot, and she was no longer the one who couldn't walk when she saw Xue Congjia, she hadn't forgotten that she had a task.

"You can't get out. The Assassin has been caught. The gates were now guarded in order to capture the Assassins' accomplices, who could be inside or outside the city. So now the gates are closed, and no one will be let go. Xue Congjia said lightly.

Chu Tao said: "I really have an urgent matter, I want to find someone, I have the token of the Three Kings' Mansion." ”

Chu Tao was a little discouraged, he was finally able to help his sister for a while, how could he still make such a, the assassin wanted to assassinate one day, and he had to rush to today.

"Then you can give it a try." Xue Congjia pointed his hand and made a "please" action.

Chu Tao got on the horse angrily, beckoned Cardamom to come over, and glanced at Xue Congjia on horseback: "I don't believe it, I'm not an assassin, not an accomplice, and someone can stop me if I have a token on my body." What are you doing here again? ”

Xue Congjia said lightly: "I am an accomplice of the assassins. ”

Although he was not aware of the assassination.

"What?!" Hatsu Tao was a little incredulous. "Are you??? Partner? What are the words of the accomplices doing here? Run away! Go to Jichang Garden! No, you should get out of town! You really didn't save you! ”

"I'm going to assassinate your emperor, and you're telling me to run away quickly?" Xue Congjia asked rhetorically.

"Oh, our emperor isn't dead, it's the prince who hurts! The injury is good, the injury is wonderful! The prince is the most hateful! I want to stab him with a knife too! Cardamom listened in horror, what was it, she seemed to know something terrible, she couldn't pretend she couldn't hear anything.

Xue Congjia hadn't reacted from Chu Tao's logic for a while, in other words, in Chu Tao's heart, it didn't matter at all whether the emperor was hurt or not in her eyes.

It's more important to be yourself......

"Hey! What the hell! "The forbidden army finally found Chu Tao and Xue Congjia.

Chu Tao said: "We are from the Three Kings' Mansion, and now we are going out of the city gate to find someone." ”

"The gates of the city are sealed, and no one is allowed to go out without an edict." The forbidden army led by him said coldly.

"Big brother! What's wrong! You just let us out, we're not bad guys! It's really urgent! Chu Tao said.

The leader of the forbidden army said: "Today, the Shenshi Imperial Court has issued an order, all shops are suspended, and all people are not allowed to leave the city without authorization, what, you are from the Three Princes' Mansion, haven't you received the news?" ”

Received a fart message! The Three Kings' Mansion is busy, and the ghost knows if you have reported it!

The remaining bold forbidden soldiers couldn't help but look at Chu Tao with hot eyes, they had been mixed in the men's pile all year round, and when they saw a young and beautiful woman like Chu Tao, their eyes were about to pop out.

"There is really no one in the Three Kings' Mansion to report." Chu Tao said: "Please, big brother, you see that I am so weak, how can I do bad things." ”

A group of forbidden soldiers had numb feet.

“…… It's useless to be spoiled. Can you ride a horse? The leader of the forbidden army frowned, there are many women who can ride horses in Dongyi, and there are not many girls who dismount so heroically. This girl's identity is not simple.

"What's wrong with being able to ride a horse? If you know how to ride a horse, you won't go out of the city? Chu Tao felt inexplicable!

"Big brother, please, we really have an urgent matter, don't you want to catch the bad guys, there is no portrait, compare it, the old lady is so beautiful, what bad things can she do, just go find someone......" Chu Tao only took out the token of the Three Kings' Mansion now.

One person took it and identified the authenticity, and looked at the first peach again.

This girl is stunningly beautiful, with a graceful posture and an elegant temperament. If it is said that it is a person from the palace, it is somewhat credible, but the three princesses are sick, and she is alive, the three princesses are pregnant, and her belly is ...... It's pretty flat.

Thinking of this, the leader of the forbidden army probably guessed the identity of Chu Tao.

Isn't this Miss Jiang, the first beauty in Jinling!

Since she is the daughter of the Jiang Mansion, it is impossible to be an assassin, let it go, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people, and if you don't let it go, I am afraid of offending the prince and the Jiang family.

"Big brother?"

Chu Tao's soft and glutinous voice has fascinated the vast majority of rough men, the so-called hero is sad about the beauty pass, this is the truth, no one wants to believe that such a beauty can plan to assassinate the Son of Heaven.

But who is this man standing next to him? The sense of coldness and alienation of the immortals, saying that he is an immortal, people believe it, but the immortals should not need to go out of the city.

"Who is he? What does it have to do with you? Does he have a token? The forbidden army pointed at Xue Congjia.

"No ......" I have nothing to do with her. Before Xue Congjia finished speaking, Chu Tao covered his mouth with his hand.

"He's the master of my house! I'm also my lover, so I'll tell you the truth! I did something for the concubines of the three kings, but he didn't worry about me, so he followed! Chu Tao waved his hand, feeling very heroic!

Xue Congjia, Xue Congjia, go out with me, run away, flee back to Xiyi, why are you still making stupid mistakes?

"Big brother, you have also read the token, you can let it go, and the three kings will remember you for me in the future." Hatsu Peach began to be coquettish again.

"Okay, okay, go, go, go early, go back early." The leader finally relented.

When Chu Tao and Xue Cong Yang left, the leader sighed and said: "Alas, the young lady of the Jiang family and the family in her house are really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks......

The lingering scandal between Chu Tao and Jia Ding has been widely known.

After determining that the distance was so far that the forbidden army couldn't hear him, Chu Tao said to Xue Congjia: "Xue Congjia, go quickly, haven't you always wanted to go back to Xiyi?" Let's take advantage of this opportunity. ”

"I can't go." Xue Congjia shook his head: "If I can go, I will leave as early as Xinyang." ”

"Why?"

"Back then, I was sent to Dongyi as a proton by a unique jade pendant divided into two halves as a token, half in Xiyi and half in Dongyi." Xue Congjia said.

Chu Tao understood that if Xue Congjia couldn't get this token, there would be no way to prove his identity, Gu Zhongtang and others would definitely not recognize him, and he would go back in vain, only by returning to Xiyi justifiably could he restore his identity as a prince.

"So what now? Find a place to hide! Chu Tao said.

“…… If you really want to hide, the city is safer......" Xue Congjia said.

"Then you can go back with me later." Chu Tao said, "I'm going to find a person named Pei Ding now, you can come with us." ”

"It's too late." Xue Congjia squinted into the distance. The faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. The emperor of Dongyi is here.

"Which direction is Cousin Pei's house?" Hatsu Tao asked Cardamom.

"Over there. Wuchi is not very far. Cardamom pointed in the opposite direction to the horses.

Chu Tao handed the horse rope to Cardamom and said, "Cardamom, you know the way, this horse is very spiritual, it protects the Lord, and no one dares to hurt you." It will take you slowly, you go to Cousin Pei first, and then you wait for me to meet at the South City Gate. ”

Cardamom nodded, she believed in Chu Tao, and also believed that Xue Congjia would be safe and sound.
