The corners of Jing Shu's mouth hooked up a disdainful and satisfied smile, it was hard to imagine that the most noble woman in this country would grovel to herself. From the beginning of always remembering how she got everything, to now enjoying more and more the dignity above the ten thousand people under this person, and the emperor's extra gentleness than before made her even more carried away, so that she often did not remember who she was. But it didn't matter at the moment, what mattered was that she seemed to have found a good idea enough to make the emperor happy.

However, the next morning, someone told Prince Shuo about the situation of the front station for the patrol, and everyone heard that Prince Shuo took his wife in and out of pairs, and they were there in every town and village, on every road.

It is rumored that the woman, who was gradually called Mrs. Xiang, calmly and generously dealt with the female dependents of the local officials, and even shuttled through the fields with her husband to visit the local farmers, and accompanied Prince Shuo to understand the local customs and agricultural economy, just like an emperor on patrol. Some people think that Prince Shuo has lost his sense of proportion and wants the emperor to blame him.

Of course, the emperor can't be so stingy, since the second brother is going to the front station for himself, he has to do what he will do in advance to ensure that the emperor's itinerary is thorough. Now he was just walking around with his wife, without any pomp and circumstance, and it is said that even his clothes were very simple, and it was not so much that they went about to visit like an emperor, but that the people who conveyed these words deliberately exaggerated the facts.

But whether it's true or not, Qi Hui took Xiangxiang out, and the emperor couldn't tolerate it in his heart, but he couldn't attack in front of people, and he was afraid that once he really tore his face with Qi Hui, Qi Hui would deal with himself without scruples, but he still doesn't know how deep Qi Hui's strength is, and recently I heard that the Mu family seems to be rising again, and at that moment the emperor realized how stupid it was for him to destroy his grandfather's family.

In fact, it is rumored in the capital that Prince Shuo took his wife to travel around with great fanfare, half-truths and half-truths, Qi Hui did take Xiangxiang to many places, but they traveled lightly, nominally for the emperor to play the front station, but in fact, Qi Hui took this opportunity to take Xiangxiang around. Xiangxiang prides herself on being a Jianghu person who goes south and north, but she is a dancer who is just performing everywhere, and after dancing she turns to the next place, she often sleeps in the carriage, and the most afraid is to go to dance outside the capital, day and night, many girls will be tired and sick when they come back, and it is impossible to stop and take a look at the scenery around the world.

Now Qi Hui takes her everywhere, Xiangxiang is very fresh everywhere, there are some places where she has obviously been, but she has never experienced any customs, so the day of the return trip of the two has been postponed again and again, but Qi Hui will send someone to report the detailed tour plan to the emperor every day, and when he finally embarked on the return journey, it was already in early February.

On the way back, Mu Qing came to see each other again, this time he didn't bring his father with him, when he appeared quietly, Xiang Xiang was startled again, she no longer bothered to compare Qi Hui and Mu Qing which one had more elusive skills, just thinking that they wouldn't be caught like this, which was not bad. And at the moment, she only cares about two things, one is whether the key has been made, and the other is Xi Niang.

The former made her extremely worried, worried that Xianggong would have to risk his life, so she didn't know if it was a good thing, and she was relieved to hear that the key had not yet been made. I heard that Mr. Mu strives for perfection and can't tolerate a trace of deviation in the pattern, after all, he feels that the rubbing drawings are not accurate enough, so Mu Qing came to convey his father's words, he wants to go back to Beijing and take the wooden card out of the prime minister's mansion, and his father must see the wooden card with his own eyes before he is willing to feel at ease. The brothers laughed at themselves, they had to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to hide, it was really too much.

As for Xi Niang's matter, Xiang Xiang was indifferent to Mu Qing every time she asked a question, and under her begging, Qi Hui had to ask on behalf of his wife. Unexpectedly, my cousin knew everything about the capital, how Xi Niang was these days, he knew everything, and said lightly: "She is very good." Xiangxiang had nothing to say, at least she couldn't care about the Closed Moon Pavilion except that she knew whether Mr. Shen was doing well in the palace.

The two cousins met in a hurry and separated, because Mu Qing knew where the wooden card was hidden, and he didn't need Qi Hui to lead the way for him, he quickly retrieved it and sent it back to make a key for his father, and said that the next time they met, he would come with the key. Listening to such words, although Xiangxiang has mixed feelings in her heart, she can think about the comfort of following her husband around this time, that day she said that the couple has enjoyed the ups and downs, this life is considered to be complete, and now they can leave more memories, and in the future, looking back on today, there is only happiness and sweetness.

On the way to say goodbye to Mu Qing the day after parting, at sunset and dusk, the team was rushing to the next foothold, so that they could go back to the capital directly tomorrow without stopping, Xiangxiang in the carriage endured the violent bumps of the carriage and horses in Qi Hui's arms, and suddenly the horses were frightened and neighed, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the husband and wife were shocked by the earthquake, if it weren't for Qi Hui hugging Xiangxiang tightly, I was afraid that she would get out.

"Lord, there are assassins." With the sound of blades meeting, Wei Meng's hurried voice sounded outside the window, Qi Hui held Xiangxiang with one hand, and raised the curtain with the other hand to look, but saw that the accompanying pro-soldier guards were fighting with the black-clothed man, he didn't bring many people, and the comer's martial arts were extraordinary and fatal, and there were already pro-soldiers who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and in the twilight, a slightly thin man in the black-clothed man was very good at kung fu, and he had knocked down two guards who were taller and more powerful than him in a row.

"Wei Meng, protect the princess." Qi Hui realized that if he didn't make a move, his own soldiers would be injured one after another, and it was easy to get such loyal and reliable people, he couldn't easily lose them, and after the guards protected Xiangxiang, he jumped out, picked up the long sword from the fallen guard, and rushed into the enemy formation.

Qi Hui's skills were far above the assassins, enough to defeat a group of assassins with one enemy to ten, and they were so shocked that they didn't dare to step forward again, but the petite man in black rushed up alone, Qi Hui saw that she was menacing, and he couldn't defeat the enemy within one or two moves, so he had to fall into a fight. It can be seen that this person is the leader of the assassins, Qi Hui wanted to be captured alive, so he left a little bit of strength in his attack, but even so, the man in black was also killed and retreated, but it seemed that he was angry, refusing to admit defeat or run away.

"Wei Meng." Xiang Xiang poked her head out of the carriage, from the initial panic to the moment that she believed that Qi Hui and herself and all the guards could retreat, she didn't ask her husband how the battle was, but asked, "Do we bring medicine with us, what about the injured brothers?" ”

Wei Meng said that he would go to the next town and go to the local doctor to find a doctor, and he pointed to the two people in the fight with great interest and said, "Madam, look, the one who is fighting with the prince is a woman. ”

Xiang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two people who were fighting in the twilight, obviously Qi Hui had the upper hand, and the slightly petite person was already struggling, and heard Wei Meng say: "That woman is petite than a man, but if you compare it with Mrs., she is obviously much taller." Wei Meng said and hurriedly apologized, "The villain is rude, please bear with me." ”

Xiangxiang smiled: "Where is it." ”

But at this moment, when she heard the sound of a heavy fall, she turned her head to look, only to see several black-clothed people stepping forward to surround the so-called women's group of Wei Meng, pointing at Qi Hui with their swords, and then protecting her and quickly retreating. The pro-soldiers here wanted to catch up, but Qi Hui shouted: "Be careful of the ambush, we will rush to the next place as soon as possible to settle down." ”

When he ran back, he saw Xiangxiang poking his head out, so he instructed Wei Meng to send the wounded guard to the carriage behind, and only after settling down did he sit back beside Xiangxiang.

The group soon set off again, and he gasped slightly and blamed his wife: "While I was killing the enemy, I heard you and Wei Meng talking, you are really big, and you are not worried about me at all?" ”

"I saw that the person couldn't block a few moves, so I didn't worry." Xiangxiang is very honest, how could she not be worried, but when she stretched out her head and saw that her husband was winning, she really couldn't pretend to be a fuss, but at this time, she asked Xianggong with great curiosity, "That's a woman, have you found out?" ”

Qi Hao bowed: "It's indeed a woman, you can see it?" ”

Xiangxiang shook his head and said, "Wei Meng told me, it seems that he is taller than me, is he a foreigner?" ”

Qi Hui didn't seem to be joking, Shen Se recalled Fang Cai's moves, the woman covered her face, she could only see a pair of eyes, and the twilight was dim and not real, but when he recalled it, he always felt that those eyes were familiar, at least he could be sure that they were not of any different race.

"I've never known a woman who knows kung fu, but I think that woman looks like I've seen it somewhere." Qi Hui straightened the clothes on his body, as if he was talking to himself, "If it's a woman of different races, I haven't seen it carefully." ”

Xiangxiang said: "Go back and check if there are any aliens approaching Gyeonggi recently, maybe you will understand." Besides, you haven't made any enemies, nothing more than the emperor and the prime minister, who else will attack you if they are excluded? ”

Qi Hui frowned and thought about it, he took care of the injured guards to the back carriage before getting into the car, although those guards were not lightly injured, but they were not harmful, they seemed to be aggressive, but in fact they were all measured, not like real assassins, as if they were here to explore the truth and make a move.

The more I think about it, the more I can't tell who it is, as Xiangxiang said, the people who want to kill Qi Hui are nothing more than the emperor and Pang Jun, if they sent it, what kind of killer did they find, and the woman was the leader?

This matter, as Qi Hui and Xiang Xiang approached the capital, gradually spread inside and outside the imperial city, the emperor didn't care who assassinated Qi Hui, Qi Hui was dead, but he was worried about Xiang Xiang, when he heard that Mrs. Xiang was safe and sound, the relieved look was all in Jing Shu's eyes.

She took the palace maid to serve tea on the side, pressed the sourness in her heart, took a deep breath, and walked to the holy car with the tea in person, she couldn't mention that Xiangxiang was not injured, she had to pretend that she didn't prick up her ears to inquire about the emperor, even if she was on the side, she had to pretend not to care, but at this moment she said: "Tomorrow's emperor's cousin's birthday, if the emperor doesn't come in person, can you let the concubines go?" ”

The emperor was impatient, frowning and asking her what she was going to do, Jing Shu smiled leisurely and said, "There is something, the concubine has found out clearly, and she is about to tell the emperor." ”
