Jianlong five years, August.

At dusk, the city wall looks away, the vast sky stretches for thousands of mountains, and the mountains set sun, which is a scenery that she has never seen since she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Since Daiguo Gong was stationed in Daizhou, we have the interest to climb the city tower to enjoy the sunset!" Gong Tang said with a smile.

The magnificent and cheerful scenery and the handsome man are really pleasant.

"Dai Guogong is from Jiangnan, but unfortunately I have never seen it!" She laughed.

When she laughed, the pear vortex on her lips loomed, extremely sweet and lovely.

Gong Tang glanced at it, and turned his gaze away as if nothing happened, but his tone involuntarily softened: "If Miss Wang stays for two more months, maybe she can wait until the army returns to the customs, and then she will be able to see the demeanor of the acting prince!" ”

Wang Xi shook his head and smiled: "I can't wait, I'm going to leave for Hangzhou tomorrow!" ”

Gong Tang's body shook slightly, and he turned his head and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, why don't you go after the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

Wang Xi's heart moved, turned his face, and met his eyes.

The eyes are upright and clear, half-hidden and half-revealing eagerness, which is just the right amount of subtlety, which can make people feel his intentions, but not make people feel abrupt and frivolous.

This is the appearance of the teenager she once looked forward to.

It's a pity that it was met too late.

Wang Xi turned around and saluted him uprightly, and said softly: "In the past few days, thank you for the care and hospitality of the palace lord, Wang Xi was ordered by Her Royal Highness the princess to send the celebration wine to Daizhou, and now that the mission has been achieved, it is time to leave. ”

Gong Tang also turned to face her, was silent for a moment, sighed inaudibly, and said softly: "Since Miss Wang has already set the itinerary, I will allow the official to be the east tonight, and make a trip for the girl, right?" ”

Wang Xi's heart was slightly sour, he lowered his head and saluted him again, and said softly: "My lord is kind, but it is disrespectful!" ”

Gong Tang made a gesture of concession sideways, she paused, lowered her head, walked in front, listening to the footsteps behind her, which were neither light nor heavy, slow or urgent, and suddenly felt sad.

Such a good person who expresses his heart gently and clearly, and when he is rejected, he is still humble and polite......

Such a good person, but she didn't dare to touch it, but she was afraid that if she touched it, it would be like a dream bubble, broken to the point that it was unacceptable.

It's not like she's never met such a good person.

Once in Yuhang, before she and Xu, there was also such a teenager, who would watch each other from afar where she passed during the Lantern Festival, break branches and give them at the Spring Banquet, and make the sisters in the family come to visit.

It's just that two years ago, when she returned to Yuhang scarred, she never saw the boy again.

Even if Her Royal Highness the princess forbade that person to set foot in Jiangnan, the shadow of that person still followed her back to Yuhang and did not go away for many years.

The woman coveted by the king of Lingchang County, no one dared to touch.

No one.

Walking down the last stone staircase, she leaned slightly sideways, waiting for the man behind her to step forward and walk side by side with him.

She couldn't help but glance at him quietly.

Such a good person, he probably doesn't know her past, right?

Every high-spirited young man wants to enter Beijing one day, so who dares to provoke a woman who has been coveted by His Royal Highness the most holy prince of the dynasty?

What's more, in her life, she never wants to set foot in the place where the nightmare began......

Walking slowly out of the shadow of the city wall, the slanting sun lengthened the shadows of the two, and there was a different kind of warmth and softness.

This trip to Daizhou is beautiful and worth remembering after all.

"Uhh

The two turned around suddenly, the figures on the city wall gathered, and the general defending the city gave the order in a hurry.

"Enemy attack!"

Gong Tang had already changed color, and unconsciously raised his arm to protect her behind her, and his tone was solemn: "The enemy attack outside the gate should be Rongren!" Miss Wang will go back to Shen Mansion first! Don't come out until the enemy is clear! ”

After Gan Mingcong came out of the pass, Daizhou was garrisoned by the commander Fei Chengfeng, Fei Chengfeng mainly guarded the Ningwu Pass, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the Yanmen Pass and the Yatou Pass near Yanmen County were only garrisoned by two generals because of the dangerous terrain.

But the Rong people outside the gate have been almost swept away by the Pingrong army, where did the Rong people come from?

Wang Xi's heart sank, knowing that as the commander of Yanmen County, he wanted to stay and preside over the overall situation, so he didn't say much, nodded hurriedly, and left with the maid.

She had just taken a few steps when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance suddenly thundered, and she hurriedly followed the crowd to avoid the side of the road.

In just a moment, dozens of horsemen galloped over, led by a young general in plain armor and white robes, and his cold and sharp gaze pointed directly at the city tower.

It's him!

Wang Xi was shocked, holding the maid's hand so that he didn't fall, but he couldn't control his body from trembling, so cold that it seemed that even the blood had stopped flowing.

The moment the man rode past her, the sudden amplification of horror almost froze her whole body.

Why is he here? Shouldn't he be in the capital to keep filial piety?

However, he did not notice her drowning in the crowd, and led dozens of horsemen to gallop past without squinting, until he stopped in front of the tower.

Yanmen County Ling Gong Tang knelt down in surprise and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the King of Lingchang County!" ”

The man immediately turned around and said coldly: "According to the decree of the Son of Heaven, during the autumn harvest, I am afraid that there will be a small stream of Rong people, and this king will temporarily guard the Yanmen Pass until the army returns!" The Yanmen County Order told the people to reassure the people! ”

Gong Tang was overjoyed to be ordered.

Then he turned and dismounted, and strode up the tower, not glancing in her direction the whole time.

However, this did not ease her fears.

As soon as she returned to the Shen Mansion, she urged the maid to pack her luggage, thinking that that person was here, this place, she couldn't stay for a moment!

"Mrs. Shen is here!"

She was stunned and hurriedly greeted her.

Mrs. Shen Lan Zijun is also from Yuhang, she came to Daizhou this time, has been living in the Shen family, came back in a hurry today, only thinking about leaving, and forgot to say goodbye to Lan Zijun, probably the people in the house saw her abnormality and went back to Lan Zijun.

Lan Zijun took her hand, looked at her face twice, then waved the maid away, and asked straight to the point, "Have you seen Xiuzhi?" ”

Just hearing this name made her can't help but shiver.

Lan Zijun sighed and said: "A month ago, Shi Xunwang, the head of the Guogong Mansion, speculated that although the Pingrong army had swept the nearby Rongren royal court, it was difficult to keep the fish that slipped through the net to take advantage of the autumn income pass to loot, so he went to the capital and asked to strengthen the defense of Daizhou!" ”

"First, this is a military secret and should not be leaked; Second-" She looked at Wang Xi a little helplessly, "I didn't expect it to be Xiuzhi'......"

She knows about Wang Xi and Lin Xiuzhi.

This time, not only did she not expect Lin Xiuzhi to come, but she also didn't expect Wang Xi to come, and she didn't expect them to bump into each other.

……

Wang Xi didn't make it after all.

First, it was getting late, and it was really not suitable to set off; Second, as soon as Lin Xiu came, he ordered the closing of the city gate to be brought forward by an hour, and she couldn't leave.

The next morning, she set off early.

When saying goodbye to Lan Zijun, he hesitated, lowered his eyes and said: "I am in a hurry, I can't officially say goodbye to Lord Gong, please ask Mrs. to say it on your behalf!" ”

Lan Zijun glanced at her thoughtfully and nodded.

Outside the Guogong Mansion, Gong Tang listened to the words of the visitor, looked back into the distance, and finally got nothing, nodded melancholy, and entered the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

"Yesterday's dozens of cavalry sieges were just a feint, intended to test the defenders of Yanmen Pass, and now that His Royal Highness the King of the County has arrived, they should not appear again!" Yanmen guards the road.

Lin Xiuzhi said lightly: "If you don't appear here, where will you go?" ”

Shi Fuxu, the head of the Guogong Mansion, said: "Look at the clothes, these people are not like the Rong people who haunt the nearby royal court, they may have escaped from the distant royal court that was swept away by the army, and this time they entered the customs, Xu was to seek revenge-" turned to the Daizhou prefect, "The people in the city are worry-free, but the outskirts outside the city-"

At the right time.

"Newspaper—"

The soldiers rushed in and hurriedly reported: "There are Rong people in the eastern suburbs!" ”

Gong Tang Huo Ran got up, his face pale.

Eastern! Wang Xi went out of the city, it was to the southeast!

Before he could move, another person walked out the door three or two steps faster than him.

"Prepare the horses! Meet the enemy! ”

……

When Wang Xi went north to Daizhou, he hired a dart team to escort the tribute wine, and when he returned to his hometown, he also followed the dart team.

All the way is an official road, flat and smooth, smooth and smooth, not a single bandit or bandit has been encountered; Unexpectedly, as soon as he set foot on the way back, he encountered bandits who were more terrible than mountain bandits and water bandits.

The screams of the fight outside the car continued, Wang Xi gritted his teeth and lifted the curtain of the car.

The maid hurriedly pulled her back: "Rong, it's Rong...... Don't go out! ”

"Stay in the car and die!" Wang Xi shook off her hand and crawled out.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, it was overwhelmingly bloody, and she didn't care to see how many people had died around her, so she climbed out of the car, untied her skirt, and ran wildly in a panic.

Someone behind her shouted in an incomprehensible language, and then the sound of the horse's hooves approached, and she fled desperately, still being picked up by the waist in a burst of bloodthirsty and arrogant laughter, and thrown on the back of the horse in front of her, turning the horse's head, and returning to join her companions.

She lay on the horse's back, her internal organs seemed to be turned upside down, and she didn't even have the strength to struggle, only infinite fear.

In a trance, someone shouted in Rong in the distance, and the Rong people next to her also stopped in response, and then there was a bump in the river and the sea.

Suddenly, the Rong on horseback screamed and fell, and before she realized what was happening, she also slid down.

When he was about to be trampled by the hooves of the galloping horse, an arm stretched out out out of nowhere, and he also lifted her by the waist and threw her on the back of his horse.

Then, there was the same bump as before.

I don't know how long it took, but just as she was about to faint, the horse finally stopped.

The man on horseback dismounted first, then grabbed her by the back collar and lifted her down.

She was so upset that she couldn't stand on the ground, and she fell backwards involuntarily, hanging on her back on the man's arm.

The man's body suddenly stiffened, and then the whole person trembled.

He trembled and helped her into his arms, trembling and brushing away the scattered hair on her face, and called out in a trembling voice: "Wang Xi......"

This sound sounded like it exploded in the depths of the soul.

Wang Xi opened his eyes suddenly.

The gloom and coldness between her eyebrows were as vivid as every time she woke her from a dream, so bright that every inch of her gaze was exactly the same.

The old wound on her wrist began to ache faintly, and the fear imprinted in her bone marrow was gradually awakened, and she subconsciously reached out and pushed him.

His eyes began to change, and the arm holding her let go blankly, and he took a step back in fear.

At this moment, Wang Xi suddenly felt a surge in his stomach, and the nausea that had just been turned upside down came up, his eyebrows frowned, and he covered his chest-

"Gross!"

As soon as Lin Xiuzhi's guards got off the horse, they saw that their master had been vomited by an unkempt woman, and then fled in a panic with a pale face......

……

When Lin Xiuzhi cleaned up and came out, Gong Tang had been waiting for him for a while.

He "chuckled" in his heart and blurted out, "What happened?" ”

Gong Tang was stunned for a moment, and sighed sadly: "This time the Rong people attacked, a total of twenty-three people were killed, and three others were seriously injured......

Lin Xiuzhi frowned and asked, "Have all the women who were kidnapped by the Rong people been rescued?" Are you hurt? ”

Gong Tang was stunned again and asked, "Is Your Highness asking Miss Wang?" ”

Lin Xiuzhi turned his face away uncomfortably, and said coldly: "This king is talking about the woman who was robbed by the Rong people!" ”

"Uh...... The Rong people only robbed Miss Wang for one ......," Gong Tang said.

Lin Xiuzhi was silent for a moment, and said in a stiff tone: "Then her!" ”

Gong Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Wang is only slightly injured, but she has been greatly frightened, and she has been sent back to the Shen Mansion to ask for a doctor-" glanced at Lin Xiu and bowed, "Miss Wang has been bumping on the horse for too long, not intentionally rude to His Highness, look at His Highness Haihan!" ”

Lin Xiuzhi did not speak.

Gong Tang raised his head, saw the cold gaze of the King of Lingchang County, and called out to him in confusion: "Your Highness? ”

"You know her well?" Lin Xiuzhi asked coldly.

Gong Tang glanced at him suspiciously, and said: "Miss Wang was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Princess to send tribute wine, and the lower officials have only known her for a few days, but Miss Wang has a gentle and pure character, which is admirable!" ”

Lin Xiuzhi asked coldly again, "Do you admire her?" ”

Gong Tang looked at him fixedly for a while and said, "Yes!" ”

Lin Xiuzhi's gaze instantly became extremely terrifying, as if he wanted to tear him apart and crush him, this kind of threat that had quenched the sword wind and frost made his back cold, but he still tried to straighten his back and met it without avoidance.

Lin Xiuzhi just looked at him, after all, he didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and suddenly turned around and left.

Gong Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, left the Daiguo Mansion, and turned his head to go to the Shen Mansion, which was not far away.

……

Wang Xi, who was sent back to the Shen Mansion, had just drunk the soothing soup and was resting on the bed.

She didn't suffer any external injuries, but she felt that there was no good place in her body, and the bowl of soothing soup had no effect at all, and she was still so flustered and frightened that she couldn't even lie down.

At this time, a maid walked in and said softly, "Miss Wang—"

"Is someone coming?" Wang Xi sat up suddenly, so frightened that the maid nodded hurriedly.

"Don't let him in!" Wang Xi said loudly, "I don't want to see him!" Tell him to go! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The maid hurriedly answered and ran out.

She lay down and closed her eyes weakly.

This Shen Mansion may be able to stop that person? Will she be able to escape this time? ()
