Volume 1: The Smoke Rises, Chapter 17
I panicked, and when I got off the stage, I hit a wall of flesh. And I heard the "meat wall" whisper: "County Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Listening to the voice, you know that it is Chu Yi. I grabbed his sleeve, "Chu Yi, you take me back to the house, take me back to the house, please." ”
The man also chased down from the stage, and in front of Chu Yi, he didn't call my name again. I quickly hid behind Chu Yi. His tone was obviously dissatisfied, and he said angrily: "King Li, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to meddle in my business? ”
I don't know why, when I see him, I will actually shiver, I always thought it would be a handful of snot and tears. Chu Yi felt my horror and pulled me behind him, his whole body blocking me, "Childe, I'm afraid it's not good to treat me like this as a woman of Zhou Guoyi as you." ”
"She's not ......," he said, "since the King of Li wants to take care of this matter, let it be." He said, brushing his sleeves away.
Looking at the back of him leaving, I can't say anything. Isn't my reaction a bit excessive. Chu Yi gently supported my shoulder, "It's okay, let's go back." ”
I nodded, and as I was about to leave, I remembered that I was left with a mess. I said to Chu Yi: "Lord Wang, do you have any money in your hands?"
Chu Yi said: "Some." ”
I spread my hands, "As many as you want, the prince will lend it to me." I'll give it back to you later. ”
Chu Yi untied the purse from his waist and gave it to me. "Not necessarily." I poured out my purse, and there was a lot of silver in it.
Ning Cui was already watching the play and looked stupid, so I stuffed all the silver into her after I passed. She wanted to push it back, but I insisted, "Mom, I'm sorry. I've been lying to you. I'm not a female ghost, just a person who knows a little kung fu. During this time, I thank you for taking care of you. This may be the last time I will come to Zuishenglou, and if you accept this silver, it will be my thanks to you. ”
Ning Cui lowered her voice and said, "I have long realized that you are not a female ghost. But you're not a bad person. It's not easy to go out, and those who can help will be helped. Child, you heard from your mother that that man is the prince of our Zhou Kingdom's god of war, if you go with him, you will need more places in the mansion in the future. ”
I was grateful for Ning Cui's kindness, but I still stuffed the money into her. I don't have the guts to come back to this place.
In the carriage, I kept thinking about the man. He has always been relatively angry, and now he is probably about to be angry with me. Chu Yi asked tentatively, "County Lord, don't you know that person just now?"
"At first, I didn't recognize it. Later recognized. The new emperor of the Zhou State is Xia Qian. I leaned against the wall of the car, "Lord Wang, did you wonder why I didn't know him at first?" I swear, definitely not pretending! I came to Yucheng with my father when I was ten years old, and rarely returned to Beijing. However, the emperor always regarded me as the best choice for the crown princess, so every year the palace would send a painter to paint my portrait, and then send it to the capital. So, I haven't seen him for six years, Xia Qian knows what I look like, but I have forgotten you and his appearance a little. Besides, how could I have thought that he would come to Qi Country in person. Even if you recognize it, you don't dare to recognize it. ”
"This king doesn't understand a little, the county lord and Emperor Zhou are playmates since childhood, why do they have this reaction when they recognize it?"
I shook my head and said nothing, and Chu Yi didn't continue to ask. Actually, I really didn't know about my strange reaction. Xia Qian recognized me and asked me to dance, but it was also to test my identity. For me, Xia Qian represents the Zhou Kingdom. It's not so much that I'm afraid of Xia Qian, it's better that I'm afraid of Zhou Guo.
I was thinking about it when the carriage suddenly jolted. Chu Yi's face became serious, and he told me: "County Lord, no matter what happens, please protect yourself." ”
As he spoke, he rushed out of the carriage. Didn't give me time to ask at all. Hearing the sound of weapons intersecting outside, I instantly thought of Hongyuan being injured. Worried, he decided to rush out of the carriage. I should be able to help Chu Yi.
I lifted the curtain, but saw that there were already many corpses outside. And Chu Yi is being besieged by a group of people in black. I jumped to my feet, and with the strength of my feet, I leaped to the side of the besieging crowd. I don't have a weapon in my hand, but my appearance distracted the man in black and gave Chu Yi a chance to fight back.
A man in black came at me with a sword, and I could only dodge it quickly. I plucked the hairpin from my head and aimed at the hand that was thrown at him holding the sword. As he let go in pain, I quickly caught the fallen sword with my foot.
Weapons are captured, and everything is much more convenient. I killed the enemy painfully, but I accidentally saw an assassin who attacked me turn his head and stab Chu Yi. I shouted, "Lord, be careful. ”
Chu Yi dodged the attack because of my reminder. However, I was distracted by reminding Chu Yi, and was stabbed in the waist by an assassin. Luckily, a few people who were also dressed in black showed up in time, and I was not attacked in any other way. Even though they were dressed in black, they were clearly here to help us.
Chu Yi rushed over to support me, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
I waved my hand, but I didn't have the strength to speak. Chu Yi's guards all surrounded him. My eyes were a little dark, but I heard Motogari's voice before I lost consciousness. Chu Yi should be safe. Just be safe.
