"Okay, then when you get to Zhou Kingdom, I'll have to trouble you a lot."

In the evening of the next day, Shen Xi and Xiao Ran left the capital together.

The boat and car were also tired, and after a day and a night of driving, Shen Xi stopped and found a nearby post station.

"Let's rest and rest today, and then we will go tomorrow morning, and we should be there in a day or two." Shen Xi said truthfully.

Xiao Ran nodded lightly: "Madam, go and rest, don't worry, I'll keep vigil outside."

Shen Xi's heart was stunned, and he said continuously: "No, you are not my subordinate, you are ordered by the third prince to investigate the matter."

"Protecting the safety of my wife is also my job." Xiao Ran said without changing his face.

Shen Xi frowned, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was not very old, but he was unexpectedly stubborn.

She wouldn't let this person stay outside the door, so she was ruthless, cleared her throat and said with a serious face: "If you don't go to rest, where will you have the heart to work when you get to the place!" Go, it's an order, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! ”

Xiao Ran was stunned by Shen Xi for a moment, and then hurriedly listened.

Shen Xi nodded with satisfaction, and after entering the room, the exhaustion of his whole body also swarmed in. She stretched her waist beautifully, took out the small sketch that had not been drawn before from her chest, gently stroked the little man above, and couldn't help laughing.

When I left, I guessed that this time I would leave a little longer. But I never thought that it was only two days, and I began to miss it.

With this feeling in his heart, Shen Xi lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

The night was like ink, and in this dark time, there was a little fog in the post station.

Shen Xi was choked awake in her sleep, she covered her mouth and coughed twice: "Ahem." ”

What's going on?

Shen Xi opened her eyes, and the fireworks and mist in front of her broke into her eyes, making her eyes suddenly sore.

There was a commotion outside - "It's on fire!" It's on fire! ”

"Let's go! Get out of here! ”

Shen Xi listened to the shouts outside, hurriedly changed his clothes, and hurriedly ran out.

It's just that after only a few steps, Shen Xi's footsteps were stunned, Xiao Ran was still inside, in case he didn't hear the movement, it would be trouble!

Shen Xi looked back, and in his memory, Xiao Ran chose a room after him, in the room that was closer to his own.

After confirming the location, she hurriedly ran over and patted the door hard: "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran!" ”

The smoke became thicker and thicker, and Shen Xi was also choked by the smoke, and couldn't help coughing: "Ahem......"

There was no movement inside, but the door was opened by Shen Xi.

Shen Xi quickly went in and called a few more times: "Xiao Ran!" ”

It was empty, and there was no one there.

Maybe I've already run out.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to run out along the original road, but the crumbling beam fell down at this moment.

"Ahh Shen Xi took a step back in shock, and the beam smashed in front of her, splashing a little firelight.

And when Fang just retreated, the small painting that Shen Xi had stuffed in his pocket also slipped down. Qishu.com

Almost subconsciously, she reached out to pick it up, and the small painting was originally paper, and it burned up as soon as it touched Mars. Shen Xi hurriedly extinguished the fire, and before he could make any other reaction, his other hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Hey......" Shen Xi was stunned, and before he realized what was happening, he was pulled to the window alive.

Right now, there was a firelight, and even the outside was extremely bright.

Before Shen Xi's "help" could be shouted, he was pulled forward and jumped down.

"Ahh Shen Xi closed his eyes, and his heart was a hundred unwilling. This post station is two-storey, with a total of several meters, and even if you don't die, you will be crippled if you jump down.

In his thriving life, he is going to receive a boxed lunch like this? She's not reconciled......

After a few moments, the imaginary pain did not come to me.

Shen Xi's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes slightly, only to see a branch in front of him. She knew that this old locust tree was very tall when she entered the post station, and according to her own understanding, it was at least a hundred years old.

At that time, she sighed that this old tree had immeasurable merits, and she didn't expect that it really saved herself.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, the whole person was stunned.

"It's you, how is it?" Shen Xi looked at the person in front of him, almost thinking that he had seen an illusion.

Lu Qingyi's face was gloomy, and he was really not good-looking.

Shen Xi licked the corners of his lips and continued to ask softly, "You took me to jump down?" ”

"That fire has spread the entire corridor, if I don't jump down from here with you, you ...... by now" Lu Qingyi was angry, but in the end, he couldn't bear to say that.

Shen Xi knew that he was at a loss, so he immediately lost his smile and said: "I'm sorry, I was negligent just now, I was worried that Xiao Ran was still in the room and couldn't escape, so I turned around." ”

Lu Qingyi obviously didn't accept Shen Xi's statement, he suddenly snorted coldly: "The fire is so big, people with a little heart will run out, who is as stupid as you?" ”

Shen Xi couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, and he had to hold his breath to coax the person in front of him.

After all these good things were said, and he swore that there would never be such a situation again, Lu Qingyi's face was a little better.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the most curious thing about himself again: "Why did you appear here?" Aren't you going to stay in Kyoto and get down to business? ”

"Don't worry, so I'll leave the matter to someone else first."

Shen Xi's willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "But there is ...... around the Third Highness."

Lu Qingyi's face suddenly darkened, she had worked hard to come over, experienced this experience, and was still afraid of her. Now Shen Xi is worried about the three princes!

"There is no shortage of me by his side." Lu Qingyi said subconsciously.

Shen Xi smiled, and grabbed Lu Qingyi's arm with both hands: "How come, you have always been particularly important." ”

Lu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have already instructed Lord Song to let him also make his position by the side of the Third Highness. Even if there is still the power of the queen who does not die, it will not set off too many waves. ”

Shen Xi nodded lightly, and his heart was clear.

Lu Qingyi added softly: "The most important thing now is to investigate the matter of Concubine Lan, which is also what His Royal Highness meant." ”

Shen Xi listened to Lu Qingyi's unnatural voice, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and she said sincerely, "Great." ”

"What?" Lu Qingyi turned his head in astonishment, and saw a little starlight flashing in Shen Xi's eyes.

"With you to go and verify, I'm much more relieved!"
