Seeing the groom running away, Xuehuan and Xuepei were a little apprehensive.

"Miss, we're going to be fine, right?" Xue Huan looked at the night outside the window, and then listened carefully to the sound of the close blades intersecting, and the whole person was so frightened that he curled up tightly.

"Phew!" Xue Pei firmly held the dagger thrown by the groom, and her eyes flashed with a weak heart, "Miss is blessed with a great life, and nothing will happen." ”

"But......" Xuehuan's heart was pounding violently, and she always felt that the situation did not seem good.

The two of them were talking in low voices, when the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted.

This sudden movement frightened Xue Huan and Xue Pei into screaming in unison, and Xue Pei even drew her dagger, intending to stab at the comer.

"Miss, it's a subordinate!" The man who suddenly lifted the curtain was the groom who had just jumped off his horse.

Shu Qing frowned puzzled: "Why did you come back so soon?" What about the stalker? ”

Speaking of this, the horseman's eyes were also a little confused, he blinked, and said: "When the subordinates caught up to check, they found that there were already two groups of people scuffling together, and these two groups of people were very strong in martial arts. ”

Shu Qing only felt more and more messy: "That is, there are two groups of people following us?" ”

The groom shook his head, "No, the other group of centaurs doesn't seem to be following us, but more like protecting Miss in secret. ”

The groom hurriedly glanced at the battle situation, these two groups of men and horses are of equal strength, and the number of people is also equal, one of them wants to catch up, but is blocked by another group of people who are struggling to stop dozens of feet away, and the dispute in the distance is still going on, and it is difficult to separate for a while, and there is no room for a third party to intervene.

The horseman was weak, and not only could he not do anything when he stepped forward alone, but he might also drag Shu Qing and the others down, so he slipped back first for the time being.

For these two teams of people who suddenly appeared out of thin air, Shu Qing only felt confused.

At this time, the horseman said again: "Miss, the villain will escort you back to the apricot orchard first!" ”

Recently, someone from the capital came to ask to see Shu Zicheng, and someone took great pains to follow them, which is really a bit unpeaceful.

But in any case, this place must not stay for long, and while the two groups of men and horses are still fighting, they should take the opportunity to escape first.

Shu Qing had no objection, and while bowing his head, he ordered: "Don't tell the master about this matter first." ”

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be confined to the apricot orchard like a prisoner again.

"Yes." The groom said yes, and then he got back into the carriage and drove back to the apricot orchard from the rough path.

The sky is full of stars, the moonlight is cool, and the melee in the suburbs is still going on.

Qian Tangping swung the knife hard, and he couldn't hold on at this time.

He followed all the way from the Mansion in the Clouds to this point without being noticed, and when he passed the section of the road in front of him, a large number of people suddenly appeared.

Although Qian Tangping also brought a few guards with him, he was not alone in fighting, but in the face of this group of prepared and skilled people, they were still at a slight disadvantage.

The swords and swords were constantly reflected on each other's faces, those people were very rampant, and they did not wear masks or other coverings, so Qian Tangping could clearly see their faces.

The person at the head was dressed in a black arrow suit, the sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, like a shadow, and he pressed step by step, his moves were domineering and fierce.

Qian Tangping only felt that this person's face looked a little kind, compared to that person's calmness, he was a little powerless.

Qian Tangping gritted his teeth and rushed up to fight him to the death, but the man in the black arrow suit had already discovered his vital point and slammed his palm towards his chest.

Qian Tangping didn't have time to dodge, and was knocked out a few feet away with one palm.

The situation on his side was not optimistic, and the few guards who came with him had already dealt with two or three enemies, who were thrown to the ground and had their swords confiscated, and at the moment they were so embarrassed that they had no power to fight back.

Seeing that Qian Tangping was injured, several guards didn't care about suppressing that wave of people, so they all rushed to Qian Tangping's side and hurriedly picked him up.

"Lord Qian, how are you, are you okay?"

Qian Tangping clutched his chest, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I'm fine, let's go. ”

"Let's go!"

Everyone knew that carrying a wounded man at the moment was not conducive to fighting, and they knew that even if they continued to entangle now, they would not be able to chase down the cloud shopkeeper anymore, so they picked up Qian Tangping and quickly evacuated the scene first.

The group fled, and when they returned to the inn, it was about time.

Lin Ziyue had been waiting in the inn for a long time, and when he saw Qian Tangping being put in by two people, he hurriedly got up: "Guard Qian, what's going on?" ”

"Lord Lin...... Qian Tangping gasped hard, and said with a solemn face, "When my subordinates were tracking the shopkeeper of the House in the clouds, they were accidentally intercepted and injured. ”

Lin Ziyue was a little surprised, Qian Tangping's martial arts were already among the best in the palace, how could he be injured so easily?

"What are those people? How did you get into trouble with them? Lin Ziyue asked.

Qian Tang calmed down and continued: "My subordinates don't know, those people seem to have expected us to follow the cloud shopkeeper, and they were waiting for us on the road where the cloud shopkeeper passed, and when we passed, they covered the cloud shopkeeper's carriage and scuffled with us. ”

Lin Ziyue frowned and groaned secretly.

It seems that this girl named Cloud Shopkeeper is not small, and there is such a powerful master who is secretly protecting her.

"Did those people leave any clues?" Lin Ziyue asked.

Qian Tangping shook his head, and after a moment, he nodded again: "Oh, there is!" Just now we confiscated a few of their swords, which have some totems painted on them, but my subordinates can't understand them. ”

Qian Tangping said, and motioned to the person next to him to hand over the sword to Lin Ziyue.

Someone immediately gave all the swords to Lin Ziyue, Lin Ziyue took it, looked carefully, and saw that the handles of these swords were all the same, made of high-quality black iron, and there was really a complicated totem engraved on the hilt, Qian Tangping couldn't see it, but Lin Ziyue recognized this totem at a glance.

If he remembers correctly, he had seen the exact same pattern on the Prince's Mansion, and when the Prince's Mansion sent troops on the battlefield, the same totem was also on the flag.

Therefore, these people who stopped Qian Tangping from continuing to pursue were people from the Marquis Mansion?
