Gu Huiniang was reluctant to go back to Shu Mei, but she also knew that Shu Mei was unwell, so she agreed with her to go back to see her later.

Three days later, after seeing Shu Mei, the imperial doctor felt that she was fine, but the reason for her sudden fainting was still unknown.

Shu Mei thought that it was Mrs. Chang's people who sent her back to Beijing, but before leaving, she saw that Xiao Hang was also in the list, and her heart sank, Xiao Hang was clearly coming for herself.

In her previous life, when the master took her to the four seas as her home, she was asked to wear a human skin mask every time she went out, although the master never said it, but Shu Mei knew that this face had become a burden for her.

In the past few days, when he met Xiao Hang, Shu Mei always felt that he was looking at himself with the eyes of his prey, although he didn't say anything, and he didn't make any overstep of the rules, but it still made Shu Mei hairy.

If he had known that he was leaving, Shu Mei would not have returned to Beijing, after all, it was safest to stay by the Queen Mother's side, otherwise Zhu Feiying would not have followed her while pregnant.

After feeling that there was something wrong with Zhu Scarlet Sakura that day, Shu Mei found out that she liked to eat sour things, and guessed that she was pregnant, but in the end, who in the palace wanted to harm her child, so that she had to hide from the Queen Mother.

However, they all said that they wanted to return to Beijing, and at this time they could not regret it.

Mrs. Chang also felt that it was a little strange for Xiao Hang to suddenly return to Beijing, but as a courtier, she had no position to question his decision, but looking at Shu Mei, she was faintly worried.

It seems that in order to confirm that Shu Mei's worries are superfluous, Xiao Hang has always kept a distance from Shu Mei along the way, which can be called a model of a gentleman, but Shu Mei just thinks that he has other plans, and her intuition has always been accurate.

On the night of the second day, a group of men in black came to the inn.

Lu Yan and Lixia were so frightened that the three masters and servants did not dare to go out, so they could only hide in the room. Listening to the sound of swords clashing outside, and seeing the fire outside the window, Shu Mei understood that this was the beginning of action.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and the sound of fighting outside came in clearly.

Xiao Hang appeared at the door with a sword, his clothes were stained with blood, he stepped forward and grabbed Shu Mei's arm: "Come with me!" ”

Shu Mei didn't move: "What about my maid?" ”

"My guards will take them." Xiao Hang was a little impatient to explain, and the situation seemed even more critical.

After thinking about it for a while, Shu Mei still followed Xiao out of the room. I saw that there was a mess outside, and the people lying on the ground didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and they couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe.

The guards escorted them out of the courtyard, and Xiao Hang took the horse in the hands of the guards and prepared to rush out with Shu Mei.

"Get on the horse."

"Let them go first."

Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shu Mei, his expression was already impatient, but he still ordered the guards around him to take the two maids away.

Shu Mei saw that Xiao Hang's guards also took Lixia and Lu Yan on their horses and left, and rushed out before they were ready to get on the horse.

Xiao Hang stretched out his hand and said, "I'll carry you on the horse." ”

was rejected by Shu Mei, "I can, please get out of the way a little." ”

However, as soon as Xiao Hang got out of the way, he saw that Shu Mei had already got on the horse, grabbed the reins, kicked his feet, and shouted.

The horse sprang out.

By the time Xiao Hang reacted, Shu Mei had already rushed out of the door on horseback, and he wanted to catch up and find that there was no horse next to him. Also, he asked people to prepare three horses, otherwise how could he have the opportunity to get close to the beauty.

A guard came over and asked, "Master, are you still chasing?" ”

"Chase!"

The firelight made Xiao Hang's eyes shine, he really underestimated her, but it was more interesting.

The guards hurried to lead the horse, Xiao hung the reins in his hand, turned over on the horse, and chased out first.

Behind him, a few guards stopped their swords, got on their horses and went out with Xiao Hang.

###

Shu Mei rode on a horse, a little glad that he had learned to ride a horse with his master in his previous life, although he was not good at riding, but he would not be controlled by others.

From the beginning, she didn't believe that those people were real assassins, and when she saw Xiao Hang appear, she was even more sure.

His clothes were stained with blood, but his sword was clean, and he didn't look like he had fought at all. Besides, even if the assassin comes, with Xiao Hang's identity, he will definitely be protected by the shadow guard, how can he let him kill the enemy by himself, he can't help but be too careless in this scene.

When they were in the courtyard, Shu frowned and swept over those people, it was obvious that Xiao Hang's guards had already controlled the situation, and he was still going to take him away, which seemed even more unreasonable.

Although he couldn't guess why Xiao Hang would find an assassin to attack the post station, Shu Mei knew that her charm was not big enough to let Xiao Hang spend so much effort to show her, and "Hero Saving Beauty" should just be an accessory to his plan.

Shu Mei didn't dare to stop and look at the stars in the sky to find directions, she squinted at the dark patch in front of her, felt the wind whistling in her ears, and didn't know where she was going.

However, there was still a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Shu Mei knew that it was Xiao Hang chasing after him.

It's really a thief!

Shu Mei hurriedly hit the horse, but she still felt that the voice behind her was close again, she knew that she couldn't outrun them, so she could only find a chance to jump the horse, at least she could hide in the night to have a chance to survive.

Suddenly, Shu Mei saw a shadow flashing in front of him, and there was immediately another person.

Shu Mei stiffened and was about to jump, but was surrounded by the person behind him: "It's me, don't be afraid." ”

Hearing Luo Xiu's voice, Shu Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the reins in her hand were also taken over, and she realized that her hands were trembling.

Although I don't know how Luo Xiu appeared, his appearance made Shu Mei suddenly feel a lot more relieved.

The horse carrying two people is definitely not as fast as one person, Luo Xiu stuffed a dagger to Shu Mei, "Wait a minute, I will let you go, you hide, I will come to you." ”

Without waiting for Shu Mei to refuse, at the next bend, Luo Xiu stopped, put her down, and then galloped away again.

This is a slope, Shu Mei glanced at the back of Luo Xiu leaving, did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly ran down the slope.

Shu Mei hid behind a tree, and after a while she heard the sound of horses' hooves whistling by, and she remembered that Xiao Hang didn't bring so many people with her when she set off.

Holding the dagger tightly, Shu Mei didn't dare to relax for a moment, and the strings in his head were tight.

I don't know how long it has been, but it must be the longest moment Shu Mei has ever experienced in two lifetimes.

A crescent moon in the sky has gone down, and the sky is almost dawn, but Luo Xiu has not come back yet.

Finally, when the sky was dark, a figure walked over, although he hadn't seen Luo Xiu a few times, Shu Mei recognized him at a glance, and hurriedly ran over.

Seeing Shu Mei running to him anxiously, Luo Xiu smiled: "I'm back." ”

As he spoke, Luo Xiu leaned forward, and his head rested on Shu Mei's shoulder.

Shu Mei just wanted to push Luo Xiu away, but he felt sticky and wet under the touch of his hand, and then he saw that his black clothes had been soaked in blood.

"You're hurt?!"
