() Xue Ke smiled silently in his heart, and wanted to reply: "From where he came", but in the end, he put away the idea of joking, and said, "What does Mrs. Ye think?" ”

"Your lordship is extraordinary, I'm afraid you're from the capital." Compassion and gentleness replied.

Xue Ke nodded: "It seems that we didn't find the wrong person, Mrs. Ye, can you guess why we came?" ”

"Amitabha, I'm afraid that the noble man came here for the mundane affairs of the political envoy's mansion, and he may disappoint the nobleman, I have not asked about mundane affairs here for many years."

"Oh? It seems that the Qin family is in charge, and Mrs. is not unwilling? ”

"Amitabha, there are many mundane things, and it is a blessing that I can get rid of my troubles and get close to my Buddha."

Xue Ke nodded approvingly, and asked casually: "By the way, Madame's two sons are only weak crown years, and they went to the capital to study, isn't Madam worried about the Qin family's actions?" ”

"She dares!" Ci Xin subconsciously said a word, and immediately reacted, returning to his calm demeanor just now.

"It seems that Madame has something to rely on." Xue Ke smiled lightly. No mother can treat her child calmly, and it seems that Ye's years of practice have not made her feel like water.

"Your Excellency is joking, I have been practicing here alone for many years, what can I rely on?" Ye's tone became wary and indifferent.

Xue Ke stood for a long time, seemed a little tired, looked around, and said to Ah Liu: "Find a place to sit down." ”

Ah Liu frowned and said, "Lady, there is no place to sit here, why don't you go and sit in the carriage?" ”

Xue Ke nodded and asked Ye, "Madame, would you like to accompany me to the carriage to rest for a while?" ”

"I don't have what the nobles want here, and if you ask the nobles to take care of yourself, I won't accompany you."

Xue Ke walked up to her with a smile: "Why should Madame refuse people thousands of miles away? I'm just going to talk to my wife. She took Ye's hand and sighed: "This really can't tell that it was once the hand of the prefect's daughter!" ”

Ye wanted to break free, but Ah Liu also stepped forward to help her, but she didn't break free. Hearing her talk about the "prefect's daughter", I thought of the situation when I was not married, and my heart was also sour.

"I have fine resin in my carriage, and Madame comes with me." Xue Ke gently took her hand and walked out of the courtyard.

Ah Liu was supporting Ye on the side, it seemed that it was just an intimate act of the woman in the inner courtyard, only Ye knew that she was being held hostage.

Xue Ke walked out of the nunnery, and the bhikshunis who were smiling and coming and going all the way nodded.

The carriage was waiting outside the nunnery, and Lu Xin was relieved to see Xue Ke and the others come out. Just as he was about to say something, Xue Ke stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Ah Liu helped Ye into the carriage and told the coachman to return.

Ye's expression was angry: "What are you kidnapping me for?" ”

Xue Ke picked up a palace fan and fanned it twice, and said with a smile: "Hijacking? Why didn't the lady call for help just now? Xue Ke took a look at the double-sided embroidery on the palace fan, one side was a butterfly playing peony, and the other side was a picture of Yan Gui, which was not messy at all.

Xue Ke turned the fan over and over again and looked at it twice, as if he remembered something, and said: "Madame, I'm afraid, I also know, if you call for help, the first person to kill that person is Madame." ”

Ye's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but mutter: "It turns out that you know that someone is in ambush. ”

Xue Ke smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence. When she first entered the backyard, Ah Liu pulled her sleeve, looked at the back of the house without a trace, and gently gestured to three, and after many years of tacit understanding, she knew that there were at least three people ambushed here.

"Madame, do you feel chilled?"

"Chilling? Am I already chilling? Ye sneered.

Xue Kepo nodded approvingly: "Otherwise, Madame would not have moved to this nunnery." I heard that Lord Jiang also put a lot of thought into asking for a wife back then. ”

Ye smiled self-deprecatingly: "Today, there is a stronger backer, greater power, and a younger lady than in the past, everyone will choose this way." ”

Ye Shi looked at Xue Ke fixedly, and said word by word: "You don't have to spend time on me, I do have a grudge, but I won't say anything." ”

Xue Ke let out a soft "oh" and said, "Don't worry, don't mention this first." As if remembering something, he casually asked, "When did those people behind your house come to you?" ”

Seeing that what she asked was not very important, Ye replied casually: "Last night." ”

"Oh!" Xue Ke glanced at Ah Liu, and Ah Liu's expression was solemn.

"Did they say I'm going to come over today? Did you say anything else? ”

Ye nodded and said, "Yes, they also said that another big man is also coming over." ”

Xue Ke sighed: "Did you hear that?" Ah Liu, it seems that some of us have a problem, and we are still a person with a lot of weight! ”

Yesterday evening, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would accompany Xue Ke over today, and Xue Ke only ordered a few people, and the political envoy had already received the news. Ah Liu's expression became more and more solemn.

Xue Ke continued to chat with the Ye family: "It seems that you already know our identity. Guess what we're looking for you? ”

Ye sneered: "It's just that I want to hit him through me." ”

"What? Are you still reluctant to make a political envoy? Xue Ke looked at her curiously.

Ye was silent. He asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"It doesn't matter where it is." Xue Ke replied very seriously: "I just need to let them know that you are with me." ”

Ye Shi pondered what she meant, and slowly understood, and his fingers trembled slightly: "You want him to think that I said everything." ”

Xue Ke nodded approvingly.

"Why are you doing this? I have no grievances with you, why should you cut me off? ”

"Back?" Xue Ke put away the smile on his face: "Madame, don't you understand that there is no way back for the political envoy?" Then, he leaned in front of Ye Shi again, and slowly bloomed a big smile: "And I'm here to send Madame a way out." ”

Ye was about to speak, Ah Liu suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage, and Lu Xin was riding over: "Big girl, there is an abnormal movement ahead." ”

Xue Ke nodded: "It seems that they are going to do it." Brother Lu, be careful! Turning to the pale face again, Ye Shi smiled: "Madam, the road is all made by yourself." ”

Lu Xin led more than thirty guards on both sides of the carriage and suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

The other party's people originally received an order to monitor Mrs. Ye, if there was any change to kill Mrs. Ye, they didn't expect Mrs. Ye to follow Xue Ke into the carriage and delay in getting down. They had no choice but to follow the wagon. Just received the order, the ministry extinguished!

This side was just about to ambush at the corner of a mountain road in front of them, but they didn't expect the carriage to suddenly speed up, and they were caught off guard by passing through their ambush point.

has lost the opportunity, and it will be even more difficult to explain if he doesn't go out of the mountain to the official road, so the first arrow was shot in a hurry.

Lu Xin sneered and shouted, "Guard!" The guards swished their arrows in the direction of the arrows that had just arrived. Then I heard several screams.

The carriage still did not slow down. Several men in black jumped out of the woods and flew towards the carriage. A group of guards immediately surrounded him.

Lu Xin watched the battle by the carriage, and the black-clothed men saw that they had quite a lot of martial arts skills, and shouted loudly at the moment: "Which sect are the people who came?" Why don't you report your name? ”

Those black-clothed people were all masked, and they didn't speak at the moment, but they just made fierce moves. Lu Xin continued: "That brother, it's like the move of the Infinite Sword? Why did the Wudang faction also engage in assassination? ”

The black-clothed man who was named turned red instantly, but he couldn't see it with his face covered. He is indeed a nominal disciple of Wudang, and this operation was also convened by a senior in the rivers and lakes, but it is really not honorable to block the road and intercept and kill two women, if his identity is exposed, it will also discredit the teacher. The tricks are a bit messy at the moment.

"Seeing people in life, leaving corpses in the dead, if you brothers continue to fight like this, you will cause trouble for your own master!" Lu Xin shouted loudly on the side: "I advise you to leave early." ”

As soon as these words came out, a few people on the other side did retreat, and the tricks were no longer blindly forced.

One of the other party danced with a sword, and he had already injured several guards here, and he shouted: "Don't listen to this person's nonsense, let them all end up in __ today"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xin flew over from his horse, and a silver spear stabbed directly in the direction of his heart, he raised his sword to meet him, and with a "bang", he was shocked and numb.

Lu Xin was originally spelled out in the battle on the battlefield, although one move and one style are not fancy, but the moves are all direct to the vital parts of the person. And taking the other party's head among the three armies was Lu Xin's famous work back then.

Lu Xin plucked, pointed, stabbed, and picked with a spear, which aroused the pride of being on the battlefield back then, and the other party had some difficulty coping with it.

But Lu Xin also smiled and said: "This trick is good for geese falling into the flat sand, and it has a bit of a shadow of true religion; This trick makes you a little old, it seems that you are not a flat word. ”

The man obviously knew that Lu Xin's words were just messing with his mind, but he couldn't help but be affected, although the people in the carriage didn't know what their identity was, they also guessed that they were nobles in the capital, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with officials, no matter how fierce the people in the rivers and lakes are, they won't provoke officials for no reason, not to mention that the identity of the other party is extremely valuable. He couldn't help but wonder if the operation was a bit unwise.

He was like that, and the rest of the dozen or so thought so. When people are fighting, once they have worries, they will lose the upper hand. One of them happened to see an empty space next to the carriage, and there was no one to guard it, and in a burst of ecstasy, a steel knife stabbed into the carriage.

Lu Xinxin screamed badly, and hurriedly turned around to protect him, the man's knife had already reached into the carriage.

Listening to the two sounds of "pop" and "pop", the man felt that something was wrong, and the two truncated steel blades were directly inserted into his chest, and the man looked at the steel knife on his body in disbelief, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

The other party never expected that there were masters in the carriage, and a pair of eyes retreated one after another.

In an instant, the forest fell silent again. Lu Xin hurriedly went to the side of the carriage: "I was negligent in my duties, is the eldest girl okay?" ”

"I'm fine, how's everyone?"

When Lu Xin heard Xue Ke's voice, his heart settled down, and after counting, there were three people seriously injured on the guard's side, and the rest were all slight. The other party also left only one corpse, the one who was stabbed to death by the steel knife cut off by Ah Liu.

Everyone realized that this place was not suitable for a long time, so they cleaned up and moved on. After walking another four miles, he went out of the mountain to the official road.

Before the chariot and horse reached the official road, they saw a group of people galloping over on horseback in the distance. Lu Xin went to the side of the carriage and replied: "Big girl, these people are all wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, like soldiers and horses commanding envoys, I think the people who come are not good. ”

"Since we are wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, we will meet each other with courtesy." Xue Ke's faint voice came from the carriage.

Sure enough, the leader was the commander of the Taiyuan Mansion, the one who went to the prince's distant cousin, Xue Ke was still joking with the prince two days ago about why he didn't marry a high-grade one, and at this time, he lifted the corner of the curtain, and Xue Ke couldn't help but smile.

This commander of the capital made Master Zhou only about thirty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very heroic.

Master Zhou got off the horse, bowed to the side of the carriage, looked up at half of Xue Ke's side face who lifted the curtain, and lowered his head.

"I heard that Niangniang encountered a bandit here, and I immediately brought someone over, is Niangniang okay?"

Lu Xin snorted coldly and was about to speak, when Xue Ke gently raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Lord Zhou came at the right time. These bandits are very vicious, and the six gods I am scared of have no master! By the way, Commander Lu, didn't you still catch a dead one, hurry up and hand it over to Lord Zhou, let Lord Zhou investigate it carefully! ”

Although Lu Xin didn't understand Xue Ke's intentions, he habitually responded and asked his subordinates to bring the man's body over.

Lord Zhou glanced at the corpse, his face did not change, and he said loudly: "Then the humble escort Niangniang back." ”

"That's a good idea! There's Lord Lao Zhou. Xue Ke lowered the curtain, and his voice was delicate and lovely, like a little girl who had just been greatly frightened, and was a little stable and surprised at this time.

The Ye family in the carriage looked at Xue Ke whose face changed freely, and Ah Liu's face was accustomed to it.

The carriage was moving more slowly. Lu Xin's face was still full of vigilance.

Lord Zhou rode on the side of the carriage, intentionally or unintentionally probing: "How can Niangniang be interested in coming to this Tianya Mountain today?" I don't know what to gain? ”

Xue Kejiao's voice came from the carriage: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with business every day, and I am very bored when I stay, so I came out to go around." I thought that Taiyuan Mansion was very peaceful, but I didn't know that there were bandits in broad daylight! She laughed: "Lord Zhou, this is your dereliction of duty!" ”

"Shame on you! Please forgive me!"

"Family, what do you say to forgive sins and not forgive sins!" Xue Ke's voice still sounded smiling: "Lord Zhou's wife is also His Highness's cousin, isn't it?" ”

"I don't dare to climb high." Lord Zhou immediately arched his hand and said, "Neizi Wang, speaking of which, it is indeed a little related to His Royal Highness. ”

chatting all the way, before sunset, the carriage reached the inner city wall.

The place where the prince settled was in the center of the city, but the time for a stick of incense had arrived.

"There is Lord Lao Zhou escorting all the way, and I will report to His Highness when I turn back."

Lord Zhou hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness!" Humble and respectful to the mother. ”

Xue Ke helped Ah Liu slowly get out of the carriage, nodded lightly towards Lord Zhou, and went in. Lu Xin and the others took the carriage around the courtyard and entered through the side door.

Lord Zhou stared carefully for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's withdraw!" ”
