I thought about it in my heart for a while, and I really regretted that I shouldn't have gone on this troubled water.

I remember that after the flower-viewing banquet was over, due to Zhen Shen's troubles and provocations, Concubine Bai took the opportunity to come to relieve the siege to see me alone. If it was for Tao Guifei and Tao Xu'er, she wanted to knock on the side to probe my tone to see if I had agreed, but why didn't she mention it, but asked me about Beiqiu's insect secret technique inexplicably. What she wants.

It's so troublesome, it's all. Things are getting more and more complicated, and more and more people are implicated, but I can't understand what calculations are being made by these two people.

I locked on to Tao Guifei for a moment, she lowered her head timidly, and glanced at me from time to time.

I just wondered in my heart, why did Tingsheng cut out her tongue, was it to stop her from telling some secret? But what kind of secret would make Tingsheng so afraid. I couldn't figure it out, and the more I thought about it, the more upset I became, so I simply ignored it.

Seeing that it was getting late, and when the city gate was about to be closed, I couldn't stop longer, so I had to say goodbye to her earlier.

I took the money bag that had been prepared from Duobu, handed it to Tao Xu'er, and said, "This is the entanglement I prepared for you. On the way back, be careful. ”

"No, I have-"

She wanted to excuse herself, but after hesitating for a moment, she accepted it. She was very embarrassed and thanked me, and her voice was low and fast.

I smiled and didn't speak, and was about to say goodbye, but she suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

I stopped and asked, "What am I sorry about?"

"I'm sorry for you for a lot of things."

I was confused and looked at her squarely.

She pursed her lips and replied lightly: "I'm sorry to you for the things I did before, and if there are anything that can't stop you in the future, take advantage of the opportunity to say sorry to you."

After a moment's pause, she snorted and said: "That year in the imperial garden of the palace, you were pushed by someone when you bowed your head to enjoy the flowers, and you almost fell and cut down on the stone platform. The person pushing you behind her back is actually my maid, and I made her do it. ”

If you think about it, it seems that there is such a thing.

It turned out that the masked girl who attacked me from behind was actually instructed by Tao Xu'er, and I thought it was sent by Buliu Guyuan to assassinate me. He also secretly laughed at him in his heart, laughing at the assassins he sent, each weaker than the other. If I hadn't talked about it today, I would have forgotten about it.

When she saw me frowning and thinking that I was angry, she said sorry to me several times with a red face.

I waved my hand, and Lang smiled: "Hey, I thought it was something important, I don't remember what you did to me before, after all, I'm not a stingy person who loves to hold grudges." Whoever hasn't done anything bad will make mistakes. That's it, the past is gone, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”

I can't figure it out now that I'm settling the accounts, I can't hold on to her anymore, let's get angry.

Besides, I'm not a good person, I was fighting with Tao Yu'er at that time, but I never let her take advantage of me. She has a strong mouth, at most she speaks hurtful, attacks me with words, and actually hasn't done anything excessive to me, but I, who is also ruthless, and I have slapped her twice. After carefully calculating the accounts, I really can't stand her apologies.

Tao Yu'er drooped her eyelids, her thick eyelashes staggered, and she smiled again: "I didn't expect that I used to target you everywhere, often choking you with words, sarcastic about you, and in the end, I still had to ask you for help with a thick face." It doesn't matter if you're kind or because of the bait I gave you, you agreed to help me. Anyway, thank you for helping me escape from that cage. ”

She said with difficulty, choking up again and again: "I have been arrogant and arrogant since I was a child, and because of this stinky temper, I have no really good friends." Although I have Yanchen and Sheng Yunjiang with me, I know very well that the two of them don't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me, and Zhao Qingyu also ignores me and doesn't take me seriously. As for my sisters and sisters, none of them can tell the truth. So every time I watch you and Yu Gui Yunkang fighting, I say it's annoying, but I'm actually really envious. You're going to comfort each other and fight each other's grievances, which is really good. I still remember that when you came to Nanzhan, I also wanted to be friends with you and wanted to treat you sincerely. But you ignore me, you only get very close to Yu Gui, and you always protect Ouyang Yunkang. For the sake of both of them, you are against me in everything. Yun Jiang said, you don't look down on me and don't want to be friends with me. I'm angry and annoyed, and for that, I have a grudge against you. If only I could turn back time, I would definitely restrain my temper and stop being so domineering, in this way, maybe you and I can really become close friends in the boudoir, just like you and Yu Gui Yunkang. ”

It's rare that these words actually came out of Tao Yu'er's mouth.

There was silence all around, all in silence.

I fixed my gaze on the pottery, and then asked, "Then what are your plans next, where do you decide to go?"

She sighed and said, "Go to the country of Lu and take my aunt to join the banquet." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Are you going to Lu country?" Why don't you go to Tao Ruo's. ”

Tao Yu'er slowly turned her face sideways, her face was timid, her apricot eyes were empty and staring at me, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sad and bitter smile, and she laughed at herself: "My good brother, upright and solemn, iron-faced and selfless, can send the whole family to the guillotine for his righteousness." And now, I have escaped from the palace privately, how dare I go to find him, I don't want to wait for him to escort me back, and also carry out a righteous extermination of my relatives. ”

Well, this is true, Tao Ruo will definitely do it.

I said: "But Nanzhan and Lu are at war, and it is difficult for the banquet ministers to protect themselves, so it is not appropriate for you to go to Lu now."

She sneered: "But I'm more ...... than going to Xiaoliu."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Tao Guifei. Tao Guifei let out a uh-uh-uh-uh scream, and she grabbed her arm and shook her vigorously like a demon, her eyes wide open, and her face was full of horror.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Yu'er hugged her and kept comforting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

"Uh-uh-uh,——uhh

Tao Guifei's eyes were full of horror, because she didn't have a tongue, even if she opened her mouth wide, she could only make a whining sound, and she couldn't say anything. She held out her finger and pointed to the woods behind me with a shudder, as if she had seen something.

This is the woods, whether she saw a tiger or a leopard, and she was scared like this.

His heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly looked back with courage, and scanned his surroundings fixedly, and there was nothing unusual.

Duobu lantern walked up to me, and I turned around to breathe a sigh of relief, when I suddenly heard the sound of a rope in the forest not far away.

I subconsciously blocked in front of Duobu, beware of uninvited guests that might appear at any time, Tao Xu'er also pulled Tao Guifei back, looking nervous, and said uneasily: "What was the sound just now?"

I put my finger to my lips to silence her, "This sound seems to be man-made." ”

I gave Tao Gui'er a look and whispered to her, asking her to hurry up and leave with Tao Guifei, "The carriage I prepared for you is in the post station next to the official road, and when people arrive, there will be a coachman to pick you up." ”

She looked grateful and bowed her head to me.

Suddenly, there was a whoosh-whoosh sound in the woods, and I was still stunned, but the arrow had flown out.

"Be careful !! missing"

Duobu exclaimed, and pushed me away with a backhand, and I fell to the ground with her, dodging the sharp arrow that caught me off guard. The arrow grazed between us and drove straight into the tree, and I fell to the ground, terrified.

"It's an assassin, it must have been sent by Tingsheng!!"

Tao Xu'er screamed and roared, dragging Tao Guifei to run desperately in the direction of the road.

I bounced almost off the ground, and staggered over to check on the steps, but I didn't have time to check whether she was hurt, so I had to hastily pull her up and run in the direction of the carriage, which I had prepared for self-defense, and with the bow and arrows, I could still deal with ordinary assassins and thieves.

As I ran, I asked, "Did the arrow hurt you?"

Duobu turned pale and shook his head at me.

That arrow is unguardable, if it weren't for Duo Buyan's quick hand to push me away, I'm afraid I'll be here today.

We raced through the woods, and the movement became louder and louder, startling the birds perched on the treetops, fluttering and scurrying.

When I finally got back to the road, and saw that the carriage was in front of me, I was overjoyed and rushed forward with a quick pace. Who knew that the person had not yet arrived in front of the car, but he taught Tao Yuer to take the lead.

I beckoned her to stop hurrying and waiting for us to go up.

"Sister Tao, wait, I'm still here-"

She turned a deaf ear, whipped her horse, and looked back at me as she was leaving, but said nothing. The horse neighed in pain, and the raised hooves of the horse fell to the ground and flew away.

I froze in astonishment, wanting to cry without tears.

Unexpectedly, the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf is real.

Immediately, out of nowhere, a few dark phantoms came out of nowhere to block our way.

There were four people in total, masked in night clothes, with a long sword in their hands reflective, shimmering in the night.

Shocked and horrified, I hid Duobu behind me, looked at a few people, and said sharply, "Who sent you?"

No one responded, only looked me up and down, the four of them exchanged glances with each other, and after a slight bow, two of them raised their swords and ran towards the pottery, I couldn't stop them, and the remaining two raised their knives and slashed at us.

I'm guarding Duobu on one wall, and I'm busy dealing with these two assassins, I'm unarmed, and I only know a little bit of kung fu with my fists and feet, and I'm at a great loss when it comes to fighting.

If I had a bow and arrows in hand, I would not have been so miserable that I would have been forced to retreat.

Strangely, these two men didn't seem to intend to kill me, and when they swung their swords down, they would immediately deflect the blade and fight me, as if they were trying to trap me and keep me from leaving here.

I glanced around, ready to flee.

Before I could see an opportunity to escape, a knife was placed around my neck, immobilizing me.

"Missing—"

Before Duobu could finish speaking, another knife was placed on her neck.

"Don't move!"
