Chi Tang raised his face, his face was still pale, and every finger of his right hand on his left arm was trembling.

She held her breath and stared at Qin Gui who was lying on the ground, her ears pricked up, listening to the movement inside and out.

There was no movement.

After she held her breath, there was even the sound of Qin Gui's breathing left.

Chi Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up-

"Bang dang!"

One was unstable and tripped over the stool, Chi Tang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground, his heart rose to his throat, and he subconsciously looked at the door, for fear that someone would rush in and check outside the door the next moment.

There was still no movement outside the door.

Chi Tang's tense body collapsed instantly, and tears burst out of his eyes.

Catching a glimpse of a faint smile flashing in Qin Gui's eyes, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, glared at him fiercely, and said, "I don't like you!" ”

Tsing Yi said that the needle in the silver chuan can make people unable to move for twelve hours, but the consciousness is still clear.

After Qin Gui was attacked and fell to the ground, after the initial shock, his expression was always very calm, and he was even in the mood to laugh at her.

Hearing her words, Qin Gui's eyes had a smile even stronger.

Chi Tang was embarrassed by his laughter, got up, thought about it, kicked him hard, and said with a vicious expression: "You don't pretend to be sentimental, how can I like you like this, this-" racked his brains and thought for a long time, "You are a bad person!" ”

After speaking, he also consciously scolded without any momentum, glared at him stupidly, lifted his skirt, and ran to the gate on tiptoe.

In fact, Chi Tang had the idea of escaping last night, when her hand had already touched the mechanism on the silver chuan through her sleeve, and finally took it back.

It wasn't a good time.

First of all, she is a little girl, who ran out in the middle of the night, may not be safer than staying, at least Qin Gui treats her politely;

Secondly, although there is only Qin Gui in the courtyard, I don't know if there is anyone guarding the courtyard, and the hidden weapon can only be used once, in case he is caught as soon as he goes out, it is almost impossible to escape;

Moreover, although she did not have a fever in the rain, her body was also weak, and even if she escaped from the door, she might not have the strength to find home.

Therefore, she patiently stayed for one more night, obediently drank ginger soup, ate and drank enough, slept for a while, and consciously nourished her spirits before finding out the idea of escaping.

Chi Tang put his ear on the door panel, held his breath and listened for a while, and the door was always quiet.

From last night to now, there have been only two people in the courtyard, her and Qin Gui; Qin Gui fell to the ground just now, she tripped over the stool, and no one came in or asked outside the door.

Perhaps, there is really no one else here.

Despite this speculation, Chi Tang cautiously opened the door a crack first.

Looking through the gap, the stone steps outside the door are withered and grassy, waiting for the morning dew, and where the sun falls, there is only a thin grass shadow.

The door opened little by little, and the wind blew slowly, bringing the fragrance of plants and trees, and as far as the eye could see, there was no one-

……

On the ancient road of the slanting sun, the horses gallop.

Approaching the city gate, Le Ma slowed down a little, attracting many retrospective exclamations.

The soldiers defending the city looked up, only to feel that their faces were bright, and if the morning sun was dazzling, they hurriedly bowed their heads to make way.

The sound of horses' hooves hitting the green bricks of the ancient city woke up the sleepy gatekeeper in the afternoon, rubbed his eyes and saw the comer, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse diligently: "Gorou is back!" ”

Xiao Zhuo turned over and dismounted, threw away the horsewhip, and strode in, while asking in a deep voice, "Where is the county prince?" ”

Gongxiao Gongwang of Jinling County is nearly sixty years old, although he is still handsome, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes are still tired.

"Father!" Xiao Zhuo bowed respectfully.

"Panic, what's the matter?" Xiao Gongwang frowned, his expression was quite gentle, after all, he was the most beloved young son, and he was reluctant to be harsh.

Xiao Zhuo waved back left and right, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "A day ago, the daughter of the chief court of Taishou Chi in Wu County was attacked in the city and was kidnapped; Early this morning, Chi Changting went out of the city in simple clothes and went to the southwest! ”

The southwest of Wu County is very wide, but where does Xiao Zhuo point to, Xiao Gongwang's heart is like a mirror, and he looks at him in amazement: "Yao Wuji tied up Chi Changting's daughter?" After so many years of peace and quiet, seeing that Chi Changting was about to leave after his term of office expired, Yao Wuji was in a daze to stir up trouble? ”

Xiao Zhuo continued to whisper: "On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Chi Taishou took his daughter to the Bon Festival of Puming Temple, but Puming Temple entered the villain, and he suspected that Chi Taishou already had Yao Wuji's handle in his hand, so he provoked Yao Wuji to take many actions. ”

Xiao Gongwang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for two steps, his eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't speak.

Xiao Zhuo looked up at the sky, and after autumn, the days were getting shorter.

Just after this time, the sun was clearly off.

The hour goes fast, and the movement must not be too slow.

"Father! If Chi Changting and Yao Wuji tear their faces, what should we do? Xiao Zhuo asked bluntly.

Xiao Gongwang glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Our Xiao clan has no soldiers and no power, what can we do?" ”

Xiao Zhuo's heart sank.

Although Xiao has no soldiers and no power, he is not powerless, which means that he must protect himself.

"Father, Chi Changting is Qi Guogong's person, and Qi Guogong is the uncle of the East Palace-"

"It's a person from the Duke of Qi Guo, and he can also be regarded as a person from the East Palace, but he is not a person from His Majesty today!" Xiao Gongwang said indifferently.

Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but be anxious: "Yao Wuji has been reluctant for a long time, how can he be allowed today?" ”

"Today's tolerance for Yao Wuji has nothing to do with Chi Changting-" Xiao Gongwang Shi Ran sat back, "Do you think you must be at ease with the East Palace and Qi Guogong today?" At that time, the champion of the Chi Changting was amazing, and he was ordered to stroke the qin at the Qionglin banquet, who gave such scenery? The result? Today, the new minister who has put down his body and put a lot of effort into cultivating has been accepted by the Duke of Qi Guo, what do you think it is like to meet Chi Changting today? ”

Xiao Zhuo's face turned pale and he didn't speak.

Xiao Gongwang looked at it and nodded, and said kindly: "You are still young, some joints are indeed complicated, you will know in the future-" paused, "This matter, we don't need to get involved, it's done, it's the credit of Chi Changting, defeated, Yao Wuji was the first to take us under the knife, not to mention how the court will be in the future, after all, our Xiao clan is on the side of the tiger and wolf, and when the guillotine is waved, the far water can't save the near fire." ”

After speaking, Xiao Gongwang closed his eyes and leaned back, sighing: "Covered in dust, go and rest!" ”

Xiao Zhuo was silent for a while, and Shi Li retired.

Walking out of the main courtyard of the Jinling Mansion, Xiao Zhuo stopped and turned his head to look at the southern sky.

The sky is blue, the wind is beautiful, and it is a very suitable day to go out and play.

Counting the time, Chi Changting should have arrived in Wucheng, right? I don't know if I saw the innocent little girl Chi who was guilty......

……

Shen Shi moment.

Chi Changting was welcomed into the Wuxing Palace.

didn't wait long, and a loud laugh sounded outside the door: "Chi Taishou is here, and he is not welcome!" There is a long way to go! ”

When the words fell, Chi Changting looked up and got up, just as he saw a person wearing a purple county king's regular costume striding into the door.
