After finishing breakfast and cleaning up, Ling Yuxin followed Xiao Yurui out of the courtyard with the support of Bai Zhu, and when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she couldn't help but glance back, and felt a little sad in her heart, she had been looking forward to leaving as soon as possible in the two years she had lived here, but when it was really time to leave, looking at the grass, trees, bricks and tiles here, she felt a little reluctant.

Just as he was feeling sad, Xiao Yurui's voice sounded behind him, "Don't be sad, if you really miss this place in the future, my cousin will take you back to stay for a few days." ”

Ling Yuxin looked back in amazement, and when she saw Xiao Yurui's warm and jade-like eyes, Fang Cai's sad mood disappeared in an instant, she smiled and pursed her lips, "Don't want to, I don't want to be punished for being grounded here again." After speaking, he stepped out of the courtyard without hesitation.

Although she has lived here for two whole years, she has been following Xiao Yurui's instructions and has never stepped out of the backyard for half a step, so now it is actually the first time to take this road to the front yard, following Xiao Yurui to turn left and right at the same time, Ling Yuxin has also been carefully admiring the flowers and plants and pavilions along the way, although she has already read in the classics that the construction of the Twilight Villa can be described as costly, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still shocked by the luxury and sophistication of the villa.

After following Xiao Yurui for a long time, Ling Yuxin gradually heard a slight sound coming from the front, and after two more turns, she entered the front yard, and at a glance saw the guards on both sides, ready to go, as well as many horses and a carriage.

Ling Yuxin took a closer look, there was a slight difference in the clothes worn by the guards on both sides, Wei Chifeng and Li Qingshan were also the first of the guards on both sides, and the number of guards in the queue where Li Qingshan was standing was significantly more than the number of guards on Wei Chifeng's side, Ling Yuxin couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, the emperor actually sent so many people to pick me up and return to Beijing, could it be that he was afraid that I would run away halfway?

When Li Qingshan and Wei Chifeng saw the three of them coming out, they immediately greeted them. When Ling Yuxin saw the two of them coming, she immediately lowered her head and hid behind Xiao Yurui.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan and Wei Chifeng glanced at each other sideways, and then they both looked at Xiao Yurui, but they saw Xiao Yurui and smiled helplessly, "Forgive me, two of you." ”

Wei Chifeng hurriedly cooperated: "It's okay, I hope we didn't scare Miss Ling." ”

Li Qingshan said: "Young Master Xiao, we have everything ready, and we can set off at any time." ”

Xiao Yurui nodded, "Okay." Then he turned to Bai Zhu and said, "Help Miss get into the carriage." ”

After Bai Zhu responded, he helped Ling Yuxin, who had always kept his head down, and walked towards the carriage. After the two got into the carriage, they heard Li Qingshan order, "Let's go." ”

After Ling Yuxin got into the car, she glanced at the layout in the car, in addition to the soft pillows and other readily available, she also saw a military book resting next to the pillow, and unconsciously smiled, thinking in her heart, my cousin is really thoughtful, otherwise this road would be really boring.

Not long after, the carriage began to move slowly, a moment later, Ling Yuxin's heart suddenly moved, hurriedly lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage, probed outside the car, only to see the carriage is driving on the iron bridge, although she can see the towering iron bridge every day, but it is the first time to observe so closely, the width of the iron bridge is just enough for a carriage to pass, the iron chains on both sides of the bridge are thick and black, and under the bridge is the bottomless abyss, looking back, I saw that I was getting farther and farther away from the two heavy iron gates behind me, engraved with "Twilight Villa" The four-character plaque hangs high in the center, and the courtyard walls on both sides give people an unusually high and majestic sense of oppression.

After the carriage passed the iron bridge, he could finally take in the whole picture of the villa behind him, Ling Yuxin couldn't help but secretly admire, thinking that he had lived here for two years, but he had only seen the special and spectacular villa in the book, and now he finally saw this villa built on the cliff of the mountain, from a distance, not only the overall majesty and magnificence, but also the ingenuity everywhere, thinking that the founding emperor of this dynasty did spend a lot of thought on building this villa.

As the carriage drifted farther and farther away, the villa in her eyes continued to shrink, and Ling Yuxin's heart was faintly filled with some sadness. In the past two years, all kinds of scenes in the villa have been replayed in my mind one by one. Gradually, she found that in this scene seemed to be full of someone's figure, after realizing this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Yurui, who was riding in front of the side of the carriage, and saw that he was sitting on the horse with a rein in his hand, and from this angle I just saw his side face, the originally well-defined handsome face revealed a bit of fortitude under the sunlight at this time, and the image that had been gentle as jade seemed to be a little more heroic at this time.

As if sensing something, Xiao Yurui suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Yuxin who was outside the car, and the moment their eyes met, Ling Yuxin suddenly felt a slight heat on his face, and immediately retracted into the car quickly.

Seeing Ling Yuxin suddenly turn around, Bai Zhu looked at her with some surprise, but saw that her face was extremely ruddy, and couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Miss, are you okay?" Why is your face so red? ”

Ling Yuxin was asked by Bai Zhu like this, and she felt even more shy in her heart, so she immediately picked up the book next to her pillow and blocked it in front of her, and muttered, "It's okay...... Possible...... It could be sunburned outside. ”

Bai Zhu looked suspicious and lifted the curtain beside her, "Is it very sunny outside?" As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yurui riding in front of him, and instantly understood, and said to Ling Yuxin, who was still holding the upside-down book to cover his face: "Well, it's quite sunny, Miss, are you sunburned, why are you even reading a book upside down, do you want the slave maid to tell the young master and let him help you see if there is a sunburn?" ”

Ling Yuxin took a closer look at the book in her hand, and it was indeed taken down, and then she saw that Bai Zhu was obviously holding back a smile, and couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, "Bai Zhu, you ......"

Bai Zhu couldn't help it, and covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice.

Ling Yuxin wanted to go up and tickle her a few times to vent her anger as she had done in the villa before, but thinking that the movement was too loud and alarmed the outside, she had to "hum" angrily, no longer bothered her, turned the book upside down and picked it up again to read.

Because it is a mountain road, although the carriage is slow, it is still inevitable that it will bump all the way, and occasionally it will be more bumpy, Bai Zhu was a little worried at first, Ling Yuxin, a pampered official lady, was afraid that she would not be able to stand this kind of turbulence, but she saw that she was very quiet all the way, but she didn't seem to have any discomfort, just after reading the book for a while, she lay down and closed her eyes for a while, and then got up and lifted the curtain to look around, thinking that she was upside down and couldn't read quietly, and couldn't fall asleep.

Ling Yuxin was indeed turned upside down and couldn't read quietly, and because Xiao Yurui deliberately let him see the tired faces of the three of them this morning in order to make Li Qingshan not suspicious, so the three of them didn't close their eyes last night, at this moment she was indeed a little sleepy, she wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep down, so she simply kept poking out of the car to see the scenery along the way, although there were mountain roads all the way, except for the distant mountains and trees and the occasional stream birds that could be seen along the way, there was no scenery at all, but for complete amnesia, For her, who has been grounded in Twilight Villa for two years, these scenes also make her feel quite fresh, so she doesn't feel bored along the way.

At this time, the carriage was passing through a valley, and there were dense thick trees on the already raised slopes on both sides, and as far as the eye could see, it was as invisible, as if a dense forest was bottomless, Ling Yuxin couldn't help but stick her head out of the elder, wanting to see where this forest stretched, and suddenly she clearly saw that there was something in the opposite woods flying towards her quickly, and she saw that it was close to her eyes in the blink of an eye, and then she saw that it was a feather arrow coming at her, and she was startled, but it was too late to react, Seeing that he was about to be shot through his head by this arrow, he heard an object fly out of the oblique thorn, and then heard a crisp sound of metal impact, and there seemed to be a faint flash of spark in front of him, and he saw that the feathered arrow suddenly deviated from the direction and plunged straight into the side wall of the carriage next to him.

Ling Yuxin was a little stunned by this sudden change, and before she could figure out what was going on, she felt a strong force behind her that dragged her into the carriage at once, and then saw Bai Zhu pull her into the corner of the carriage, with a nervous expression, "Miss, sit here and don't move." ”

Ling Yuxin still had a confused expression, but she could hear shouts outside the carriage one after another.

"There are assassins."

"There's an assassin attack in the woods."

"Protect the carriage."
