When I came back to my senses, Shen Xiao had already vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and his body fell straight down and fell into my arms.

"Shen Xiao!"

I screamed, clutching his blood-stained slightly bewitching cheek

"Princess, let's go." Shen Xiao snorted in pain, gently pushed my hand away, and frowned, "Leave me alone, you go quickly." ”

"No," I shook my head, glaring up at the blood-stained blade again, and snapped, "you dare to hurt him?" I want your life! ”

After saying that, I was about to get up, but Shen Xiao pressed my hand with all his strength and shook his head.

"Princess, people are strong and I am weak, Mo Hulai..."

After he finished speaking a little weakly, his chest began to rise and fall violently due to excessive exertion, and the blood-stained chest was like a big demon lotus that was blooming unscrupulously, which was particularly eye-catching on his Shengxue's clothes.

"But..."

Looking at his gradually pale face, my heart ached, and helplessness and guilt poured into my heart like a spring, and in a few moments I was completely devoured.

"Don't be upset." Shen Xiao smiled, his slender fingers touched my cheek, and he pretended that nothing had happened, "Later, I'll try my best to catch that Wei, you just take the opportunity to run, don't look back, understand?" ”

I stubbornly shook my head, "I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere." ”

After listening to my words, Shen Xiao's smile gradually became bitter, "Good, you are obedient!" ”

"Nope." I still shook my head firmly, how could I leave him here alone and run for my life at this moment?

"You..." Shen Xiao was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dugu Ao's yin and yang strange voice.

"Alright, two? It's time to say goodbye, isn't it time to hit the road? ”

As soon as Dugu Ao spoke, those officials surrounded us with swords in their hands.

"Let's go!" Shen Xiao pushed me away in pain and struggled to get up.

I simply picked up the blade on the ground one step ahead of him, but I didn't think that before I could make any move, the treacherous and cunning Dugu Ao had something in his mouth and slammed it towards me.

Then my legs went limp, and I got down on one knee...

On closer inspection, it was clear that there was a thin silver needle stuck in my knee.

"Dugu Ao, you old thief!" I angrily pulled out the silver needle.

The body shape can no longer be controlled, what is going on?

Poison on the silver needle!

"Oh, if I had known that this trick was so good, I would have done it a long time ago."

In my angry eyes, Dugu Ao smiled softly, walked towards me with a short blade, and viciousness appeared on his face again, "Crown Princess, I have already said it, if you insist on resisting, I can only correct you on the spot." ”

With that, he slowly raised the hand with the short blade above my head...

"Bang!"

With the crisp sound of this sudden explosion, the short blade in Dugu Ao's hand was bounced off.

Then the strange voice of yin and yang sounded from mid-air, "Lord Dugu, what kind of ability is it to bully a weak woman?" ”

A figure floated down from the upper floors of the inn.

Dugu Ao's eyes widened suddenly, "Boss He? ”

Crane Zixiu giggled again, and glanced at him, "What is Boss He, Lord Dugu has forgotten?" I'm no longer from Xiaoxiang Pavilion. ”

"Really?" Dugu Ao didn't look very interested, and then waved his hand impatiently, "This official is on a routine business, so please wait for the idle people!" ”

"Miscellaneous people, etc.? Where is it? Hezi Xiu looked left and right, and deliberately surprised, "Oh, Lord Dugu, how can you say that you are an idle person?" Although you are a little older, a little uglier, a little shorter, a little greedy for money, a little more cheeky... But in addition to these shortcomings, you also have a lot of unclear shortcomings, so you won't be an idle person! ”

Dugu Ao was counted out for no reason, and his angry old face was blue and white for a while, and he said fiercely, "The surname is He, I think you don't want to live anymore!" ”

Hezi Xiu suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, and said coldly, "Who doesn't want to live anymore?" ”

Dugu Ao only felt a chill on his neck, and when he reacted again, a long sword was already on his neck.

And the person holding the hilt of the sword is none other than a reluctant old urchin Crane Qianqiu.

"What are you going to do?" Dugu Ao's face changed drastically, and it was difficult to hide a trace of horror, as if he was afraid that the blade on his neck would accidentally cut his throat.

Crane Qianqiu no longer dragged with him, and said straight, "Let go of the crown princess." ”

"Don't think! It is the will of the court to arrest her, and I advise you not to confront me, otherwise you will hit the stone with an egg, and it will be you who is ugly. ”

"Hitting a stone with an egg?" Hezi Xiu laughed, "Lord Dugu is afraid that he can't understand the current situation, so do you want Zixiu to remind you?" ”

After saying that, Crane Zixiu glanced at Crane Qianqiu, and the sword on Dugu Ao's neck approached several points.

"Don't, there's something to say." Dugu Ao was so frightened that he bent his knees slightly, and the sword body was closer, I was afraid that he would have to kneel for Hezi.

"Then this person, you are put... Or put? Crane Zixiu raised his chin slightly and looked at him proudly.

Although there was a hint of unwillingness flashing on Dugu Ao's face, because he had a sword around his neck that would threaten his life at any time, he had no choice but to remain silent and let Hezixiu help me up from the ground.

"No, I can't go." I leaned my feeble head on his shoulder, but my eyes looked at Shen Xiao.

"This hero, I beg you to take her away!" Shen Xiao half-knelt on the ground and raised a weak smile.

Then Hezixiu nodded at him with a serious expression, then put me on his shoulders and walked forward without changing his face.

"You let go of me, I can't go!"

"You girl, aren't you a little too persistent?" Hezixiu sighed and whispered again, "That man's words, you don't have to worry about him!" He'll never be fine. ”

What does that mean?

I raised my eyelids in a daze, watching Shen Xiao's figure become smaller and smaller in my sight... It gets more and more blurry, until it disappears completely...

And I didn't know it at the time, behind me...

"Lord Dugu!" Shen Xiao shouted Dugu Ao, who was still immersed in the terrifying scene just now, sat up, dusted off his body, and saw that he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Lord Dugu!" ”

"Huh?" Dugu Ao Fang woke up like a dream, glanced at Shen Xiao and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao raised his hand and lifted the lid, quickly ingested the pills in the two pill bottles, and then completely got up from the ground.

"Strategist, is the wound all right?" Dugu Ao smiled flatteringly.

Shen Xiao nodded with some disgust on his expression, "Thanks to the sect leader's elixir, it's just..."

Shen Xiao glanced coldly at the official errand, holding a bloody short blade in one hand.

Dugu Ao immediately waved his hand in understanding, and said impatiently, "Who is that over there, drag him down for me and divide the body of five horses." ”

The official was so frightened that his legs were weak on the spot, and he lay on the ground and cried silently, "The strategist is open!" Ask the strategist to spare the little one, and the small one is also to cooperate with the strategist! ”

"Huh?" Shen Xiao glanced at Dugu Ao.

Dugu Ao immediately walked over with a gloomy face, aimed the short blade in his hand at the heart of the official and stabbed it straight down.

The official didn't even have time to scream, his eyes widened, his body fell straight to the sky, and two blood-colored "fountains" gushed out from his chest, splashing on the ground, and a disgusting smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

Shen Xiao frowned and coughed dryly.

Dugu Ao was like a crazy monster, and he made several more stabs to the pierced heart, until the blood of the corpse dried up and there was no longer a drop of blood, he stopped and threw the knife that was so red that he could no longer distinguish the original color on the ground.

"Strategist, look at me and kill him!" Dugu Ao's face was full of blood spots like a butcher, and he grinned.

Shen Xiao turned around and didn't look at him, "Send someone, follow Su'er and them, I want to know what she wants to do!" ”

"Yes," Dugu Ao lowered his eyebrows and said to Shen Xiao, then turned to the rest of the officials who had been frightened by the scene just now, and said sharply, "Didn't you hear what the strategist said?" Do you want to be like the guy just now? ”

"Spare your life, spare your life, and spare your life!" The officials knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Shen Xiao waved his hand with disdain.

Dugu Ao took advantage of the situation and kicked one of the kneeling on the ground, "What are you doing here?" Tired of living? Don't give me back yet! ”

After hearing this, the officials were all frightened, and after saying "yes, yes, yes" in a row, they disappeared in front of the two of them.

"Hehe, strategist..."Dugu Ao smiled attentively, rubbing his hands repeatedly, "Do you think we played this scene today?" ”

"Hmph, are you too embarrassed to ask?" Shen Xiao's tone was like piercing ice, squinted at Dugu Ao's nasty face, and continued, "I remember that I only asked you to find someone to lure those guards and servants away from the prince's mansion, but you dare to be smart, do you know that Su'er has already suspected me, if I hadn't resolved it in time, I really wanted to pick your skin." ”

"I'm sorry, strategist," Dugu Ao touched his face a little discouraged, "I want to help you too much, but... Strategist, can I ask you a question? ”

"Say."

"Since you know that the crown princess has other plans, why don't you follow her personally? It's such a painstaking performance. ”

"You know what." Shen Xiao looked at the inn in front of him, "Ever since I accidentally bumped into her and those two people talking at the tea stall, I knew she must be trying to do something, but I was just a guard in front of her, and caring too much would backfire on her suspicion, so I can only be the one who silently supports her behind her back, and I want her to understand who is the best for her... Who is most worthy of her dependence. ”

"The strategist is brilliant!" Dugu Ao took the opportunity to pat himself on the back, "The crown princess will definitely understand that you are the best person for her." ”

After a long time, Shen Xiao seemed to think of something and smiled brightly, "One day, she will be mine... Su'er! ”

"That's natural," Dugu Ao's flattering face gradually raised a touch of viciousness, "The crown princess is naturally your strategist, but now I really want to know what kind of mood Yin Linxi will be after he comes back from the palace, and now that the crown princess is gone, is it painful?" Or is it the smoke of the seven orifices of qi? Hahaha..."

"By the way, what about what I told you?"

"Hui Strategist, according to your orders, those market gangsters who were rude to the crown princess have already cramped and skinned them, and their flesh and blood have been given to the sect leader to make pills, but... Before they died, they said that someone had paid them to do it, and that the owner had told them that the heavier they beat the princess, the higher the bounty. ”

"Have you heard who the gold owner is?" Shen Xiao's eyes suddenly lifted a little hatred.

Dugu Ao brushed his blood-stained face, and said very respectfully, "I heard that it is a girl dressed as a herdsman, if there is no accident, it should be the niece of Liu Changnian, the general of the auxiliary country, who has just come from Jiangbei." ”

"Liu Changnian's niece? How dare she..."Shen Xiao spread out his hand, and after looking at the blood stains in his palm, he suddenly clenched his fingers and said fiercely, "I have come to this day step by step, all for her, if someone wants to be unfavorable to her, I will never tolerate it... You know what to do, right? ”

"Yes!" Dugu Ao's eyes showed fierceness, and he slowly took a few steps back after making a gesture towards Shen Xiao, and his figure disappeared into the corner of the street.
