Chapter 121: Reunion after farewell
"There are Assassin ——!" One of the palanquin drivers exclaimed, and the rest of the palanquin drivers all stepped on firecrackers and ran away.
Shu Mei hurriedly got out of the car and helped Zhang Guiping: "Mama Zhang, how are you?" ”
"It's okay, let's hurry back, go back-" Looking at the carriage in front of him, which was still slowly turning around, Zhang Guiping realized that he had been tricked.
Shu Mei immediately helped her to walk under the eaves, and the person who used the arrow was hidden upstairs, and only by walking under the eaves could she avoid it temporarily.
The two walked a few steps, and Zhang Guiping suddenly covered his chest, sweating profusely, and said, "I'...... I can't walk anymore...... County Lord, leave me alone......"
"I'll carry you." Shu Mei refused to abandon her and run for her life, gritted her teeth and ran in the direction of Persimmon Alley.
"Whoosh, whoosh-" The window and door suddenly opened on the other side of the alley, and arrows shot at Shu Mei one after another.
"County lord, it's not a pity for the old slave to die, you are a matter of peace and proximity, you let go of me, run away......"
"Mama Zhang, don't talk, save your strength." Shu Mei exerted force under his feet and continued to run towards the road he came.
"She's running, chase after her!"
The door of the oil-walled carriage opened, and four sturdy men dressed in Xili costumes jumped out of it, holding scimitars and chasing after Shu Mei.
Shu Mei naturally couldn't run fast with Mama Zhang on her back, and the man in the west plough behind quickly caught up and surrounded her.
The bright full moon scimitar, the leather felt hat with snakeskin, the scene in front of him is exactly the same as the scene in the firewood room in the backyard of the Anyuan Governor's Mansion. Can't you escape after all?! Shumei's psychological defense line collapsed instantly, and he couldn't take a step anymore.
"This girl is also stubborn, the woman is dead, and she is still running all the way ......"
Shu Mei was shocked, and slowly put down Zhang Guiping, but as soon as she turned around, she fell to the ground with a "bang". Shu Mei realized that Mama Zhang's shoulders were full of arrows.
"You're not from the West Plough!" Shu Mei raised his head and said angrily.
"Damn it!" The bearded man who took the lead let out a loud sigh, and then swung his knife and slashed at Shu Mei.
"Dali Temple handles the case, and the people in front avoid it at ——! speed"
A "da-da" sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and several big men looked back, only to see a man in a vermilion official uniform galloping towards him, and seeing that he was about to collide, several people instinctively dodged sideways. At this moment, the man leaned over and picked up Shu Mei, who was stunned in the street, and ran towards the direction of Yongnian Palace like a gust of wind.
Several big men looked at each other, looking ignorant.
"Big brother, this ...... What's going on......"
"I remember that the official uniform of Dali Temple is not like this......"
"Damn, fooled, chase ——!"
When the bearded man reacted and chased after him with a few people, there was no one in the alley in front of him.
"Brother Shen family?!"
In front of the dismounted monument outside the Xihua Gate, Shu Mei relieved himself from the fright, and was surprised after recognizing that the man in the vermilion official uniform was Shen Zhi.
"You, you're ...... The county lord of Hejing? ”
Shen handed the reins to the stableman in front of the horse stake, and after turning around to see Shu Mei's appearance, he was stunned. The Shu Mei he saw in Caopozi Town had always been dressed as a man, and now he was surprised to see her in women's clothes for the first time.
Shu Mei's appearance is very delicate, and when he wears men's clothes, he looks like a young man next door. At this moment, she is wearing a frost green skirt with a silver gray gown, lining her autumn pupils, as bright and beautiful as the frost moon, and she is extremely dignified. thought that he had proposed to marry Jin Lan with her, and he couldn't help but laugh at his clumsy eyes that day.
"It's extremely urgent, thank you to the Shen family brother for sacrificing his life." Bow your knees in thanks.
"Thank me? At the beginning, you also sacrificed your life to save Liulixia. It's just that I never expected that this life-saving grace would be returned so hastily today......" He smiled between his eyebrows, and there was indescribable joy in his heart.
"Why did the elder brother of the Shen family pass by there?"
"I entered the palace today for the scholars to report the finished classics, Houde Royal Road was blocked, so I took a detour to Yong'an Lane, just into the alley I met the sedan chair man shouting for help, I chased in and saw those few West Plough barbarians surrounded you in the middle......"
"They are not West Plough people." Shu Mei frowned and said, "The accent is wrong." ”
"They pretended to be the Xili people to hunt you down?" Shen looked at Shu Mei, and said suspiciously: "Those palanquin men are all dressed as palace attendants, are they taking you into the palace?" ”
"Well, Mama Zhang died because of me...... "A mist condensed in Shu's eyebrows, but he bit his lip and restrained himself.
This kind of appearance of Shu Mei is completely different from the brave and resolute Shu Mei of the young man in his memory, and he was a little at a loss for a while. An Yuan has been separated for a year, and he has a lot of things he wants to ask her, but he doesn't know how to ask in such a situation.
"It turns out that the county lord of Jiamu is here?!"
Ling Zhao's voice came from the palace gate, and Shu Mei turned around and saw him striding towards him, and his anger rose in an instant. Today's assassins must be inseparable from Tianxianglou! This hypocrite!
"A sedan chair man asked for help from the forbidden army on duty at the side gate of Xiyuan, saying that the county lord of Jiamu encountered the Xili assassin in Yong'an Lane, and I have arranged for someone to arrest the assassin in the whole city...... Are you alright? Ling Zhao looked Shu Mei up and down, and said with a worried expression: "Yong'an Lane is too close to Shu Mansion in Persimmon Lane, I am worried about the safety of Shu Xiang and the old lady, so I have already sent someone over......"
Shu Mei, who was annoyed, wanted to expose his hypocritical face to face, but as soon as he heard "Shu Xiang and the old lady", he had to purse his lips. He had come to warn her that if she acted rashly, her grandparents would be in danger of their lives.
Lord Jiamu?!
Shen is busy with the repair of the Shen family's old mansion these days, and he doesn't know that Shu Mei has been given the title of county lord, let alone the matter of harmony. After looking back and forth at the expressions of the two with doubts, he took a step back and bowed down to greet Ling Zhao: "Shen Zhi has seen the prince. ”
"Quiet? Oh, you are the Lord Shen who made my Yuyao Imperial Sister fall in love at first sight? Ling Zhao looked at him with a smile, nodded and praised: "My imperial sister really has good eyesight, Lord Shen is handsome, and the jade tree is in the wind, which is on par with this king......
"The prince said that he laughed, how dare the lower officials compare with the prince's dragon chapter and phoenix posture." He bowed his hand.
"I heard that you rejected my father's marriage that day, could it be because your heart belongs?" Ling Zhao asked Shen with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Shu Mei on the side with a deep meaning.
"How dare Shen refuse His Majesty's marriage, Shen just answered His Majesty's question truthfully." Shen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Ling Zhao shook his head and smiled, and asked again, "How can you be with the county lord of Jiamu?" ”
Lest Ling Zhao misunderstand Shen and cause trouble, Shu Mei, who was biting his lip and silent, immediately stepped forward and said, "Lord Shen passed through Yong'an Lane and happened to encounter me being besieged by the Xili barbarians, so he rescued me with righteousness...... I was thanking Lord Shen when the prince came out......"
Shen looked at Shu Mei in surprise, she seemed to be in a hurry to clear up her relationship with herself in front of Ling Zhao?
"Oh, it turns out that the county lord of Jiamu was rescued by Lord Shen?" Ling Zhao arched his hand and said, "This king has thanked Lord Shen on behalf of his father!" The lord of Jiamu County and the pro-Bei Lin are related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and there can be no surprise, thanks to Lord Shen's ...... today."
Shen was stunned when he listened. And pro-North Lonely?! had just reunited, and before she had time to catch up, she learned that she was going to marry far away. God arranged this play today, so that he could repay her life-saving grace in time?!
