Xia Mengning went to the queen mother's bedroom to see the queen mother's illness, prescribed some nourishing prescriptions, and saw that it was almost dark, so she said goodbye to the emperor, and the two prepared to go home from the palace.

Walking out of the queen mother's bedroom, a gust of cold wind hit, Jiu'er intimately put on a cloak for Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning looked at the sky in the distance, and said: "Jiu'er, you say, in this deep palace, is it more dangerous than our house?" ”

Jiu'er helped Xia Mengning to walk out, and the two walked through the ninety-nine steps of white marble, Jiu'er said: "Miss, the slave knows that you are tired and tired in your heart, but there is no way to stop, just because if you relax a little, you will be doomed, and all your previous efforts will be in vain." ”

Xia Mengning was quite touched, patted the back of Jiu'er's hand, turned around and said: "Jiu'er, you see, how beautiful this white marble step is, but if you really step on it, you can feel how cold it is, others envy this person who can walk up the steps, but this step by step is cold, almost to the bone, and the taste of it is only known by those who have walked by." ”

Jiu'er looked at it, "Miss, no matter how bloody the wind and rain are ahead, the slaves and maids are willing to accompany the young lady to break through." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I didn't want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests in cloth clothes, ignore the world, just a book every day, and spend the second half of my life with coarse tea and light rice, but I know that I can't, since I have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion all my life, I am destined to fight to calculate, and if the fight is good, I can be glorious and rich, jade plate treasured and ashamed, and have everything that everyone wants to have, but the price of this exchange is that I can't have feelings, I can't get bored, and I can't give up halfway." ”

Jiu'er looked at Xia Meng's gaze, and then looked over, a bloody remnant sun was hanging in the sky, reflecting the lonely and cold figures of the two, which made people feel more and more desolate.

Walking out of the palace gate, the carriage guarding the door was already waiting there, and when Xia Mengning's master and servant came out, a person in a eunuch uniform came over and said: "The servants have seen Miss Xia, and the emperor ordered the servants to wait here and send Miss Xia back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "In this way, I am tired of my father-in-law." ”

After speaking, Jiu'er stepped forward with eyes and handed over a piece of silver, and when the little eunuch saw it, his face couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum, and he became more and more enthusiastic.

Xia Mengning got into the carriage, Jiu'er lifted the curtain and looked at it: "Miss, there are a total of eight guards outside, it seems that the emperor sent them to protect Miss." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "If there is danger, I'm afraid that these eight guards will not be useful." ”

Jiu'er knew that Xia Mengning knew how to do some kung fu, and now when she heard Xia Mengning say this, she also nodded.

The carriage walked back slowly, Xia Mengning was tired from a day's work, and she was also a little tired, so she leaned on Jiu'er and squinted to rest.

When the sun was setting, it was already evening, and only this carriage was moving slowly on the road, lining the night, but there was an indescribable weirdness.

Several well-trained men in black were lying on the roof, and when they saw Xia Mengning's carriage coming, several men in black quickly glanced at each other, and the sharp knives in their hands were pulled out, flashing a little cold light in the night.

Xia Mengning was resting with her eyes closed, but she suddenly felt a different breath from the usual, and she carefully distinguished, it was actually a martial arts master, Xia Mengning was alarmed in her heart, and immediately woke up Jiu'er.

Jiu'er didn't fall asleep, but now when she saw Xia Mengning's eyes, she knew that there was danger.

Xia Mengning lifted the sedan curtain and looked outside, and felt a shock in her heart, this group of people is really bold, they dare to start not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but who is it?

Xia Mengning was thinking about it, when she heard someone shouting outside: "Who?" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of weapons colliding, Xia Mengning looked out, and saw that there were only six people in black, but everyone was a person with strong martial arts, and within a few moves, he killed a few guards.

Immediately afterwards, several black-clothed people carried knives to Xia Mengning's carriage, Xia Mengning glanced at Jiu'er, "I'll go out to fight with them in a while, you have to run back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find rescuers." ”

Jiu'er shook his head, and Xia Mengning said quickly: "It's too late, they won't have the courage to confront the Prime Minister's Mansion, do as I say!" ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning quickly rushed out of the carriage, quickly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and killed the nearest man in black.

This group of people in black didn't expect this young lady to be able to do martial arts, they were all stunned for a moment, Xia Mengning quickly scanned the audience from the corner of his eyes, and the soft sword also stabbed out, and the moves were all to take the life of the man in black.

Although the man in black was a master of martial arts, he was still invincible to Xia Mengning's fierce sword, and soon, Xia Mengning killed four of them.

When the remaining two men in black saw this, they looked at each other, and actually took out a short white tube-like object from their arms, put it in their mouths and blew it.

Xia Mengning secretly said that it was not good, but it was a step too late, as soon as this strange rhythm entered his ears, his hand seemed to be uncontrollable, and the man in black saw this, and immediately raised his knife to kill, Xia Mengning saw that the knife was about to stab himself, but there was no way to retreat and dodge.

At this moment, a figure suddenly blocked in front of Xia Mengning, and Xia Mengning only felt that the person's body slammed into him, and he collapsed.

After this delay, Xia Mengning's mind had recovered, and the person in his arms quickly dodged, and when he looked down, it was Jiu'er who blocked a knife for himself.

"Jiu'er......" Xia Mengning's nose was sore, she only felt uncomfortable, and her fingers quickly touched the acupoints on Jiu'er's body to help her stop the bleeding.

Jiu'er opened her eyes, and Xia Mengning said, "Go to the house to find rescuers!" ”

As he spoke, with a strong hand, he actually sent Jiu'er to the carriage, and the soft sword in his hand was quickly inserted into the horse's buttocks, and the horse was in pain, and he ran away with Jiu'er.

The man in black was shocked: "It's not good, don't let her run away!" ”

Xia Mengning gathered his internal force with both hands, stretched out his palm to block the bodies of the two black-clothed people, and the internal force was so strong, but it forced the two of them back a few steps together.

The carriage quickly ran forward, Jiu'er lay on it and bumped, the knife she received just now almost killed her, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted that she couldn't close her eyes, Miss was still waiting for her to find someone to go to her, she was okay if she died, but Miss couldn't die.

The carriage turned a corner, but it couldn't stop, seeing that the Prime Minister's Mansion was getting farther and farther away from him, Jiu'er put all his strength into trying to restrain the horse, but it was a drop in the bucket, and the crazy horse couldn't stop at all, Jiu'er saw that the situation was getting more and more out of control, and there was no way, so he bit his lip fiercely and rolled off the carriage.

"Ahh The speed of the carriage was amazing, Jiu'er was already injured, and he was hit the stone on the side, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

I can't die, I have to save Miss!

Jiu'er only had this thought in his mind, and struggled to stand up on the ground, stumbling back and running.

The eldest grandson Yunben went back to the house, but he was worried about Xia Mengning's foot injury, and after eating, he wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see how she was.

As soon as he walked to the street, Changsun Yun felt an unusual smell, Leng Xiao on the side quickly fell to the ground, listened with his eyes closed for a while, stood up and said, "Shizi, there is a fight ahead, and there is a smell of blood." ”
