Chapter 16: The First Meeting in the Middle of the Night
The garden smelled of blood, and she didn't want to stay for a moment, so when she left, her head was still wet, and her clothes were attached to her body, and when the wind blew, her body shook a little, and she was a little top-heavy, and it seemed that she was not suitable for riding. She is always like this, she likes to send everyone away, and she is used to walking alone alone, but she never expected that there would be so many accidents tonight.
It was late at night. Dark clouds covered the moon, and the night sky was pitch black.
After walking a few steps, she intuitively felt that someone was following her secretly, as for whether there was murderous aura, she had no internal strength at the moment and couldn't tell the difference. It seems that she can't go back to the princess's mansion tonight, the garden is not safe, the road she walks on is relatively remote, even if something happens, it is called heaven and not earth, what should she do? There were too many things happening tonight, the assassination of the man in black, her inexplicable loss of internal strength, the sudden loss of control of Zongzheng Wuwu, and this secret tracking, everything seems to be not simple. She has been in the Kingdom of Heaven for two months, she has not made enemies with anyone, and even her identity is kept secret, who wants to deal with her?
Her head was a little groggy, her body was weak, and the wind blew through the branches of the trees, swaying and flapping, and there was a "rustling" sound, echoing in the silent night sky, as if there was the sound of people walking everywhere, very soft, very light, but it surrounded her in the center. Her forehead was hot, and she barely supported herself against the wall, feeling the person in the shadows, slowly approaching her, and then getting closer...... The aura of danger filled the thick night, enveloping her heart, and she couldn't help but get nervous, her cold hair stood on end, and her body was like a full bowstring, tense and about to break.
"Driving, driving, driving......" At this moment, there was the sound of driving not far away, and the sound of whips pumping horses, it can be seen that the driver is in a hurry, her eyes lit up, and she rushed to the middle of the road with her last strength, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to fight him.
"Phew!!" The carriage was forced to stop, and the driver, a reckless man in his forties, pointed a whip at her, and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to intercept our carriage, are you tired of it? ”
Man Yao took two steps forward and arched his hand: "This eldest brother, who has been rushing here from Xishan, has unfortunately contracted the wind cold. I hope that my eldest brother can make it convenient, if he can give me a ride and put me down at the place where there is a medical hall in front, I will be grateful. In the future, I will tie the grass ring to repay your kindness to the eldest brother. ”
Her voice was hoarse, with a muttering nasal voice, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that what she said was true, and her tone was extremely sincere, and the big man seemed to hesitate a little, turned around and looked at the direction of the car, and said to her: "We are going to Dongcheng in a hurry, and we don't have time to care about you." Besides, in the middle of the night, who knows where there are medical officers? Get out of the way! If you delay our master's business, I'm afraid you can't afford it! ”
I was stunned for a moment, listening to his tone, I don't look like an ordinary driver, I don't know what kind of character is in this car? Although the carriage does not look ornate and ostentatious, the three horses pulling the carriage are all rare good horses, and the person sitting in this carriage must also be a person with status. Are they going to the East Side? She suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the place I'm going to is also in Dongcheng, just by the way, please help, just take me to the vicinity of the palace." "But whoever has status must give the king some face, right?
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Are you from the palace?" ”
Manyao said: "The king is a friend below. "If you play a game of chess, you can be regarded as a chess friend, right?! Even if you don't count, you have to borrow a name, get out of here and get rid of those people first.
"This ...... Just by your word, who will believe it? The man looked at her suspiciously.
"Old Ma, let her come up." A gentle and elegant male voice came from inside the carriage. When the man known as Lao Ma heard this, he quickly nodded and politely invited her to get into the car.
There was no light in the car, she could only see the silhouette of the man opposite, and she couldn't see his face clearly, but she could feel that the other party's gaze kept falling on her. Out of politeness, she arched her hand and said, "I'm taking the liberty of disturbing you!" ”
The man smiled mildly and replied, "When you go out, everyone has inconvenient times. Girl, you...... Don't worry. ”
Shocked, he couldn't see five fingers in the carriage, and he was so sure that she was a woman! The man seemed to see her doubts, and said with a smile: "Although the girl is infected with the wind and cold, resulting in a low and hoarse voice, and she can't distinguish between male and female, your breath has a faint fragrance, and the silhouette of your body is slender. Therefore, in the next judgment you are a woman. ”
In the dark, people's senses become extraordinarily acute. Man Yao smiled with relief: "Childe is so delicate! Admire under it! ”
The man smiled slightly, and said no more. His head was getting drowsy, his body was hot, and he couldn't sit steadily. The carriage was bumped, and she threw herself out uncontrollably in the direction of the door, and she was about to fall off the carriage, and she didn't even have the strength to exclaim.
A hand, a slender and powerful hand, grabbed her arm in time, and when she walked into the car, she crashed into the man's body. The man's warm and hearty breath sprayed on her ear, and he said softly: "Girl, be careful! ”
"Thank you Childe for coming to the rescue!" Manyao thanked him awkwardly and struggled to get up. The man held her by the shoulders and placed her on his side so that she would not fall again. Man Yao smiled gratefully, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he couldn't support it, and fell into the man's arms, falling asleep.
In the darkness, the man's eyes were different, and he smiled and raised his hand to touch her eyebrows. To the people driving outside, he instructed: "Go to the Eastern Suburbs Inn." ”
