The sun has set, and the stars are hanging in the sky,

The firecrackers drove the carriage but only passed through the neighboring county, and there were still dozens of miles away from the imperial city.

"I wonder if I'll be able to go back before the gates close..."

She was hungry, so she took out the pie in her bag and put it to her mouth,

Then he heard the sound of the carriage and the sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer.

She poked her head out to take a look, but three big men chased after her.

This body looks a little stronger than Hu Oak.

"Stop!"

A horse stood in front of the carriage.

Firecracker looked at him holding the dagger in his hand, and shouted in his heart,

This is a person who walks at night and is targeted.

"The little girl ran pretty fast, and we almost lost it."

Another robber chased after him, carrying a chopping axe behind him.

"Several... What's the matter with the big brothers? ”

Her eyes rolled, remembering that when she was leaving, Hu Oak gave her a dagger to defend herself.

There was also a bottle of lime powder in her hand at this time.

"What's the matter? We have been eyeing you in the neighboring county, and we have seen you alone,

I'm here to be your companion, hahahaha. ”

The robber who teased her was slightly shorter than the other two, and his tone was disgusting.

"No.. No need to: The little woman is almost there...

It's just that there are still some entanglements on the body that have not been exhausted, if the big brothers don't dislike it,

I'll send you these plates..."

The firecracker turned out the purse and handed it over generously.

If you really move your hands, even if you have a machete in your hand, you are no match for them.

"Yo, you're pretty smart, but..."

As he spoke, the robber turned over and dismounted,

smiled at her sly:

"Our brothers are not only interested in your entanglement, but also in your people."

"Shameless! Bah! Take the money and roll it out quickly! ”

Firecracker scolded in his heart, his face was blue and white for a while, and he knew that he would let Hu Oak follow!

"Look at this little face, it's really Peugeot, my eldest brother is nearly forty years old and hasn't married yet,

The girl thinks she has eyes? ”

It's just a matter of blocking the road and robbing money, but you still want to rob your relatives?

"Hey, I'm a big girl with yellow flowers who haven't married yet, how can I say such things in front of me."

She thought that if they really wanted to match, she might as well pretend to respond.

Even if you follow them back to the county, you will find a way to escape when you reach a crowded place.

It's like risking death to resist, being hacked to death in the wilderness.

"Yo, it looks like you have the heart to agree?"

The robber didn't expect her to refuse, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

"Then come back with us and discuss the marriage.

But I can tell you, you don't want to play any tricks! ”

The robber wasn't too stupid, and he deliberately intimidated her when he left.

"Since you promised to go back with you, why can't you trust me?"

She pretended to be shy, which caused the robbers to relax.

The firecrackers were driven into the carriage by the robbers, and one person drove the horse.

The two of them followed the carriage one after the other.

As she sat in the carriage, thinking about how to get out for a while,

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the front of the carriage again, and there should be no less than five horses.

She quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked through the moonlight, and sure enough, not far away, a dozen people dressed in black were coming this way.

The other side is outnumbered, and if they are stopped, they will definitely be able to deal with these three robbers.

The firecracker pulled out the plug of the lime scatter and extended his hand slightly to the window.

Through the gap in the curtain, he watched the horses on the opposite side get closer and closer, aiming at the opportunity to lift the bottle in his hand hard,

It happened to hit the eyes of two of the horses, and even the people on the horses were not spared, and they were sprinkled with lime on their faces.

The horses were frightened and threw the people of the carriage down with a few tosses.

After subduing the manic horses, the men in black quickly surrounded the carriage.

"You... What are you going to do? ”

"What? You hurt our people, what do you say we are going to do? ”

A man in black drew his sword from his waist and put it around the robber's neck.

"We? When did we hurt your people?

Apparently they fell off on their own! ”

The robbers looked at so many people on the other side, and they had no confidence in speaking.

"Boss, the horse has been injured in the lime eye."

The men bowed to the black-clad leader.

"No... We didn't do it...."

The robbers hurriedly waved their hands.

"Who's in the carriage?"

The black-clothed leader asked coldly.

"It's... Yes..."

The robbers who drove the car were struggling.

"I'm his wife, what's wrong?"

Firecrackers heard the fear in the robber's tone, and he couldn't be more happy in his heart!

She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, pointing at the robber who was holding a knife to her neck.

"Why do you want to hurt our people?"

One of the men in black asked.

"I don't like you, what's wrong?"

"I think you're looking for death!"

"Wait... Wait a minute... We don't know her! It's none of our business! ”

Several robbers were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and saw that the sword of the man in black was about to fall on his head.

"Wait!"

The man in black at the head suddenly stopped.

"You say you're his wife?"

His pupils were dark by the moonlight, and his heart tightened when he saw the firecrackers.

This look is very familiar.

"That's right!"

Firecracker nodded with a smile.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, we don't know her!"

The robbers hurried to dissociate themselves from her.

"We just kidnapped her on the way!"

"Hey! Didn't you just say that you would arrest me back and get married?

Why doesn't this count? ”

Firecrackers deliberately pretend to be angry.

"Big brothers, we really don't know her! It's all her own fault! It has nothing to do with us! ”

The three burly men were like lost dogs at the moment, wagging their tails at the man in black and begging for mercy.

"Robbers?"

The leader seemed to understand something, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Kill!"

He spat out a word to his subordinates behind him.

"She, keep it."

"Yes!"

The man in black drew his sword and wiped the necks of the three robbers in two of the three strokes.

Firecrackers have seen the world in the end, and they are not frightened by this sudden killing.

It was only when the men in black raised their knives that she saw the totems on the backs of their hands.

"Boss, what should I do with this girl?"

"Let her go."

"But aren't you afraid that she will go back and talk nonsense?"

The subordinates in black are still not at ease.

"She won't."

He only faintly spat out two words.

After the firecrackers were let go by the man in black, they frantically drove the carriage to the imperial city.

Finally, he entered the city before the gates were closed.

She knew that the group of men in black had been following her unhurriedly,

But there was no further action, for some reason,

The black-clad leader's eyes and voice were familiar.

It's just that... He shouldn't be that person.

Although she has been busy finding a place for Qi Xiaoyun to live these days, she has also heard about the death of Emperor Kunjiang.

And Kun Jiang ascended the throne a few days ago, and it was the eldest prince Si Yanjin.

He should be handling state affairs in Kunjiang at the moment, how can he return to Xi Yun and throw himself into the net?

I'm afraid that I will admit my mistake.

At the fork in the road five miles away from the imperial city, the black-clothed leader watched her carriage go straight to the entrance of the imperial city.

He tightened the reins and led the group in another direction.

Firecrackers returned to Shan Mansion, and immediately went to the study to find Shan Heng,

She thought about it, but she didn't know how to explain her whereabouts to him.

Shan Heng didn't ask much, but when he saw that she had lost some weight, he told her to pay more attention to her body.

It seems that he has already guessed everything.

Three days later, Xunche suddenly sent troops to attack the Xi Yan border, and there was no countermeasure from top to bottom of the country.

It was a mess.

Seven days later, the firecrackers are still immersed in sleep,

In her dream, she saw that the dragon head on the dragon chair had disappeared,

The colorful finch in the picture flew into the air, and suddenly there was a roar of fighting and a collision of weapons outside the door.

She trembled and slowly pushed open the door, but in front of her was a sword and sword shadow,

A sight of flesh and blood.

Turning around, the secret room that had sealed her for a long time had been transformed into a palace,

On the dragon chair in the palace, a man in a dragon robe is sitting.

A woman's voice suddenly sounded in my ears:

"Only you can save him..."

"Save him? Who is he? ”

Firecracker asked suspiciously, towards the air.

Could it be that he is the one sitting on the dragon chair?

It's just that the next moment, I just turned around,

Before he could see the man's face, he was woken up by a sharp knock on the door.

"What's the matter?"

She almost got angry.

"Firecracker girl is coming out, something happened!"

"Something?"

She hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door.

"What's wrong..."

"The army of the Kunjiang Kingdom has invaded the imperial city!"

The maid outside the door was hoarse in a hurry.

"What?"

"The old lady told everyone to go to the backroom to hide!"

"Kun Jiang Guo...."

Could it be that the man in black she met on the night she returned to the city was really him?

In the backyard, the whole house is crowded in the willow pavilion.

"Is the door closed? The ginger soldiers can't get in, right? ”

The old lady asked the butler.

"It's closed, it's closed, and our officers and soldiers are guarding the door."

The butler comforted.

"That's not going to work out! They were all beaten into the door...."

The old lady lamented.

"Don't be afraid, Kunjiang is a small country, and the place is not as big as Xi Yan.

The army is not as good as Xi Yan, and it can't threaten us...."

The housekeeper squatted beside Old Madam Shan and comforted.

"Old lady, where is Shan Gongzi?"

Firecracker asked anxiously.

"I've entered the palace..."

Old Madam Shan waved her hand, and seeing that she still had a sad face, she opened her mouth again.

"Don't worry, he's still safe in the palace, and the Kunjiang army can't attack the palace."

Even so, the big stone in her heart still couldn't fall to the ground.

That dream seems to indicate that this ridiculous country is really going to change hands.

Sure enough, it was just past noon.

There was chaos in the streets, and the housekeeper wanted to listen to the movement through the gate.

As soon as he stepped up the steps, the two doors were suddenly slammed open, and a group of soldiers rushed in.

Some of the Xi soldiers outside the gate were lying on the ground, and some were squatting in a row with their heads in their hands.

On the street, vegetable farmers pushed baskets and shouted around:

"Oh no, the Xunche army has entered the city!"
