Xi Chu Lu Ning, who was forced to lie in the arms of the palace master of Gao Chen, stared at the strange eyes of the head with wide eyes, and the last expectation in his eyes gradually became disillusioned, reflecting on the pale handsome face, and the smile became more and more weird.

After a while, Chu Niancai frowned, "Ah Ling, hurry, maybe you can remedy it." ”

Saying that, she rushed forward, although the West Chu Yue Ling on the side didn't know what was going on, but she also rushed up with Chu Nian, and at this point, she saw that the Gao Chen Palace Lord suddenly pulled out a short blade from the chest of West Chu Yue Ling, and immediately rushed towards Chu Nian like crazy.

"You too...... Go to hell! ”

Chu Nian was concentrating, his subordinates seemed to be pinching some mantra, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to rush towards him, but he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, a pair of water eyes looked directly at the pair of dazed pupils facing him without the slightest fear, and Xi Chu Yue Ling on the side didn't have time to stop it, his eyes widened in shock, "Chu Nian!" ”

And at this moment, the two figures suddenly stopped, and the tip of the knife in the hand of the palace master of Gao Chen was close to Chu Nian's robe.

The air froze for a few minutes, and Ming Xiu on the side stood quietly in place, looking at the two figures frozen in the room, his eyes flashing slightly.

Xi Chu Yue Ling breathed a sigh of relief, at this stall, suddenly there was a crisp sound, it was the short blade in the hand of the palace master of Gao Chen fell to the ground, this sound seemed to activate the body of the palace master of Gao Chen, he fell to his knees weakly, Chu Nian gradually straightened up, wiped the faint sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ming Xiu on the side stepped forward, his gaze swept over the palace master Gao Chen, who was paralyzed on the ground and gasping for breath, and fell on Chu Nian's pale little face.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Chu Nian shook his head slightly, and saw that the Gao Chen Palace Lord who was looking around blankly in front of him frowned slightly, "It's okay." ”

At this time, Xi Chu Yueling on the side also followed, "What's going on?" ”

Gao Chen's palace master was catching a glimpse of the corpse of Xichu Lu Ning in the corner, his face suddenly turned pale, and his subordinates trembled and crawled over with difficulty, "Ning'er, Ning'er, you ......"

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, "He was controlled by illusion, as for when he started to be controlled, I don't know." ”

Right now, the palace master of Gao Chen was holding the body of Xi Chu Lu Ning, who was already cold, and was silently crying, not knowing what to mutter, Chu Nian looked sideways at Xi Chu Yueling beside him, "Your Royal Highness, this matter has been resolved, and you can report it to Your Majesty." ”

Xi Chu Yue Ling glanced at the palace lord Gao Chen with a complicated expression, and nodded lightly, "Well, okay, during this time, His Royal Highness the Prince and the Wushuang County Lord have worked hard." ”

Ming Xiu pursed his lips and didn't speak, Chu Nian leaned on Ming Xiu's side a little weakly, at this time, a dark voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, lady, are you here?" ”

The two glanced at each other, turned around and walked out of the door, and completely handed over the mess behind them to Xichu Yueling to deal with, this stall, in the courtyard that was smashed by Xichu Lu Qing, Dark Sanzheng was full of surprise, and when he saw Ming Xiu and Chu Nian coming out, he retracted his surprised complexion, and said seriously: "Your Highness, lady, something happened in the capital." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, and then saw Ming Xiu say coldly: "What's wrong?" ”

Dark San glanced at Chu Nian, quickly retracted his gaze, and swallowed his saliva before saying, "Yes...... In the Chu family, the old lady seemed to be seriously ill, and there was no one to take care of her in front of the bed. ”

As soon as these words fell, he saw Chu Nian frowning and sighing, and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, "Your Highness, shall we go back?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips, his eyes flickered slightly, "What do you say?" ”

"Then I'll go home...... Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, "After all, it's my grandmother." ”

Ming Xiu nodded, "Then let's leave immediately." ”

"Wait." Chu Nian's voice fell, and Ming Xiu looked back with some doubts, and saw Chu Nian turn around and walk towards the West Chu Yue Ling in the house, "I still have some things to explain to Her Royal Highness, please ask Your Highness to take someone back to pack your luggage, let's meet outside the city." ”

Seeing the villain's eager back, there was a faint flicker of helplessness in Ming Xiu's eyes, and in the end, he had no choice but to turn around and say to the dark three: "Tell everyone to prepare and prepare, enter the palace alone to say goodbye to the empress, and set off home." ”

……

In the evening of the next day, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were already on the way back, they had just driven for a day and a night, and there was silence in the carriage.

Chu Nian frowned and looked out of the car curtain, looking back, the person beside her was closing her eyes to recuperate, looking at the sky outside the window gradually reddening, she let out a sigh of relief.

Xu was because this sigh was too long, and the person beside him opened his originally closed eyes slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, and said thoughtfully, "I'm thinking...... Who was the one who controlled the palace master of Gao Chen with illusion, and also, before leaving, Xichu Yueling told me that someone had conspired with Xichu Luning ten years ago in an attempt to provoke a war between the two countries. ”

When the words fell, I saw Ming Xiu's eyes flashing slightly, "Ten years ago...... Wang Zixuan and the Queen Mother? ”

Chu Nian shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know that the Su family was still there ten years ago, and Su Nian was still a rich lady who didn't listen to anything outside the window.

The air in the carriage was quiet for a while, and then Chu Nian spoke again: "When we return to Beijing and settle down, do we want to come to Xichu again?" ”

When these words came out, Ming Xiu looked at Chu Nian in some surprise, "You haven't stayed enough in Western Chu?" ”

Chu Nian smiled, "Your Highness has forgotten West Chu Luqing?" Since Xichu Lu Ning can turn Xichu Luqing into that appearance, it is obvious that her relationship with the organization that has the Yin and Yang Scrolls will definitely not be very shallow. ”

Ming Xiu nodded thoughtfully, "Then it's up to you." ”

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a voice in front of him that Yin Er couldn't hear the slightest expression, "Your Highness, the barbarian border has arrived, but they seem to be sealing the city gate." ”

When these words fell, I saw Chu Nian frowning slightly, Ming Xiu lifted the curtain and looked outside, at this moment they were stopping at the junction of the barbarians and Xichu, this trip was not going to go from the barbarian realm, how could the matter be urgent, if you don't go from the barbarian realm, you will inevitably have to take a detour, Chu Nian is just a little scared, if the old lady dies at this time, her troubles will be even more.

The carriage stopped at the edge of the official road, and looking from behind the curtain of the carriage towards the end of the official road, a city wall was being sealed, and hundreds of people rushed in, and a group of soldiers dressed as barbarians were driving the people.

"What's going on?" Ming Xiu frowned without a trace.

"Who knows, this is the only trade route between the barbarians and Western Chu, at this time, why did the barbarians close the city gate...... Aren't they going to do Xichu's business anymore? ”

At this time, on the side of the carriage, a person dressed as a peasant with a package hurriedly passed, and when he passed by the side of the carriage, Chu Nian happened to see the hurried face, as if he couldn't walk into the city gate that was about to close today, and he was going to die in a foreign land.

Ming Xiu also noticed the peasant, so he looked at Dark Er, and Dark Er immediately understood, and just dodged, and stopped the farmer not far from the carriage.

When he was stopped, the peasant's face was obviously not very good-looking, but seeing that Dark Er didn't look like a good bully, he had to beg patiently: "Uncle, you are doing well, if it is too late, I will be locked outside the city gate." ”

At this time, a crisp female voice sounded behind him, "This little brother, we are passing passengers, and we are just a little curious, so I want to ask, why do we have to close the city gate in front of us?" ”

The peasant saw a woman with a beautiful face and outstanding temperament getting off the carriage, her face just looked a little better, and seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, this stall was a little helpless and breathed a long sigh of relief, looked back at Chu Nian who had just come down from the carriage and said, "The lady is from Xichu, right?" It is recommended that the lady hurry back before dark, otherwise, after dark, it will be very unsafe outside the city. ”

"Why isn't it safe?" Chu Nian frowned, "Could it be that there are wild beasts infested?" ”

At this stall, the barbarian city gate had been completely closed, and when the peasants saw it, they had to give up hope completely, and looked at Chu Nian helplessly: "It's not a beast, it's something more terrifying." ”

Ming Xiu got down from the carriage with a cold face, "You can say it bluntly, if it is something that we can deal with, you naturally don't have to worry about it tonight." ”

Seeing the young man coming down from the carriage, he was talented, and the aura of his whole body made people dare not look at it directly, and the farmer seemed to be a little more settled in his heart, and he approached Chu Nian, who seemed to be better at speaking, and said: "That's the case, there are often some humanoid monsters in this wild recently, and that monster is said to be nine feet tall, and many people in the tassel field have died in the mouth of that monster." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at the farmer, "Since we delayed your entry into the city tonight, then at least tonight, your safety is protected by us." ”

The peasant looked up at Ming Xiu, then swept his gaze over Chu Nian, and finally fell on the side of the cold-eyed and sturdy Yin Er, and hurriedly said: "Then thank you, by the way, there are still many old, weak, sick and disabled people in our village, because their bodies are weak and can't walk, and they are staying in the village right now, and they haven't had time to escape, if it's convenient for you......"

Chu Nian looked sideways at Ming Xiu, and saw that Ming Xiu frowned slightly, so he had to sigh and say, "Little brother is a businessman." ”

The farmer smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "It's a small honor to meet someone as kind as you!" ”

……

This person's name is Li San, and his family lives in a small village in a ravine outside the barbarian city, far away from the place where Chu Nian and the others stopped the carriage.

By the time everyone arrived at Li Sanjia's village, it was already completely dark, Chu Nian looked at the jungle on the side of the road, and turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, "Are the guards brought by His Highness all hidden in the forest?" Will there be any danger? ”

Ming Xiu got out of the carriage and saw Chu Nian's slightly frowning brows, and couldn't help but slightly hook his thin lips, "Are you underestimating my personal guards too much?" ”

At this time, Li Sancai on the side walked back and pointed to a house with a candle not far away and said: "Two nobles, that is the villain's home, the family is barren, only the villain is wronged, and the two nobles have been wronged." ”

Seeing this, Ming Xiu frowned slightly, but Chu Nian nodded, looked at Li San and said, "That monster, when will it usually come out?" ”
