It's July, and although there is no daytime sun at night in the capital, it is also a heat wave.

Fortunately, the suburbs are not so hot, listening to the gurgling water outside the car, it makes a few people a little sleepy.

It is also because of this weather that the people of these capital cities and several nearby cities can rest here at night, the sky is the tent and the ground is felt, and the sun, moon and stars sleep with me in the morning.

Xiao Qi lifted the curtain and watched the crowd bustling, and from time to time, there was a sound of selling, which seemed quite lively.

And by the river, there are children who follow their mothers along the river to find their own lanterns, and there are also old men and women who support each other, sitting by the river, staring blankly at the starry sky.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi put down the curtain and didn't go to see the world outside the car. The convoy gradually deviated from the crowd and walked along the sheep intestine path towards the Zhang family's manor.

Occasionally, the night breeze blows through the trees on both sides of the path, causing the leaves to rattle.

The moon was hidden under the dark clouds, and suddenly heard a forest bird flying up in the mountains and forests, Fan Wei, who was sitting in front of the carriage, opened his eyes, held the saber at his waist in his hand, and posed as if he was about to pull the knife out of its sheath.

Seeing Fan Wei like this, several guards accompanying him also straightened the straddle knife on the horse's back, as long as there was a change, they could immediately draw their knives and fight, and one of them rode his horse to the back to inform the entourage.

"Deacon Fan, this?"

The groom on the side also felt that something was wrong, and asked Fan Wei, who was sitting on the side.

"Don't panic, hurry with peace of mind."

As a member of the Zhang family, this coachman is by no means a good person, he did not show the slightest fear, and drove the car safely.

As the sound of frightened birds in the forest got closer and closer, Fan Wei frowned, and whispered into the car: "Childe, I'm afraid we're in trouble." ”

Zhang Biao in the car knew that Fan Wei wanted to ask him if he was going to report to Xiao Qi.

So Zhang Biao said indifferently: "Well, you go to the back." ”

When Fan Wei heard the next sentence, he turned over and jumped out of the carriage and got into another carriage.

"Miss"

Xiao Qi was a little tired with his head on his legs, but he didn't fall asleep, and when he heard Fan Wei's voice outside the car, he rubbed his temples.

There were candles lit in the carriage, and you could see that Ling'er on the other side was leaning on Qingyi and had fallen into a dream, and Qingyi was looking out of the curtain. looked down on each other's expressions through the candlelight, and the nursery rhyme next to him was closed with his eyes closed, not knowing whether to sleep when he woke up.

Afraid of disturbing a few people, he quietly returned: "Uncle Fan, what's the matter?" ”

"Miss, we may be in trouble."

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and shook his head, sobering himself up.

"Does it matter?"

"Miss, please rest assured, the accompanying person is the prince's personal guard, and the safety of the young lady is guaranteed."

Fan Wei replied in the affirmative, obviously not taking the future in his eyes.

Just in a vacant land, the coachmen of several carriages had just been told that Xiao Qi and Zhang Biao's carriages stopped first, and the carriages pulling idle things drove forward, surrounding the two carriages, and the outer row was the guards on horseback.

Ling'er was woken up by the noise and got up to look at her young lady.

"Did something happen to Miss?"

It's just that he hasn't waited for Xiao Qi to explain. I heard someone outside the car say, "There are assassins!" ”

I saw a group of people wearing clothes that couldn't see the color of their clothes rushing out of the forest, surrounding the convoy in the middle, and they could vaguely see black scarves around their faces.

"But the holder of the Taowei hairpin."

The person who spoke, seeing that no one in the carriage team replied, said in a louder voice: "But the holder of the Taowei hairpin." ”

Fan Wei walked out of the crowd, because it was the full moon and hidden clouds at this time, and the whole forest was pitch black, only the torches on the carriage of the Zhang family emitted a faint light, so Fan Wei did not use any courtesy.

"I really don't know what the Taowei hairpin you are talking about? Is there something wrong with you? ”

Fan Wei saw that these people were not in a hurry to act, so it means that there is still room for negotiation.

"We only ask for Taowei hairpin, we have no intention of hurting people, as long as we hand over Taowei hairpin, we will never embarrass the people present."

Fan Wei frowned, and he didn't have a clue about what these people said.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I really don't know what it was?"

"Why should we trust you?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the convoy in the mansion of His Royal Highness King Yi, and I am the steward of the Zhang family."

The person who spoke obviously hesitated a little when he heard the words of King Yi's Mansion, as if he was discussing something.

"Since it's the Prime Minister's Mansion, my brothers are willing to believe you once."

Fan Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, avoiding the fight is the best result, the sword is silent, it is good to hurt his subordinates, if he hurts the young lady and the nobles, then he Fan Wei will be guilty.

"Although we believe in the Prime Minister's Mansion, we must always let us see that you are the token of the Zhang Mansion."

Xiao Qi listened to it for so long and roughly understood, so he said to Fan Wei, "Uncle Fan, ask them what they want to see." ”

Fan Wei saw Xiao Qi get out of the car and hurriedly protected her behind him.

"Miss, it's dangerous here, please go back to the carriage."

Fan Wei escorted Xiao Qi backwards to the back of the carriage.

"Miss, this is not appropriate."

The old man Mingze hid behind the car, and when he heard that these gangsters were getting an inch, he said viciously: "The token of my Zhang family, how can they be seen by these thieves." The old man advised Miss Seven to think clearly. ”

Xiao Qi didn't bother to take care of the old man, and continued to say to Fan Wei: "Go and ask, what do you want to see." ”

"Hmph, your behavior, the old man will definitely report to the master."

"Hey, Xiao Qi waved his hand and went to ask."

Fan Wei took the order, returned to the place, and said, "I don't know what token I want to see?" ”

"I heard that the Zhang family has always had carved phoenix jade rings."

The carved phoenix jade ring is indeed a token of the Zhang family, and it is a proof of the Zhang family's lineage.

"Uncle Fan Wei, come in."

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Fan Wei went to Xiao Qi's side and saw Xiao Qi take off the jade bracelet in his hand and hand it to Fan Wei.

"Uncle Fan Wei go and let them see"

Fan Wei was still a little hesitant, after all, he knew what it meant in Yuhuan.

Xiao Qi didn't care, "Bother Uncle Fan Wei, go and take this jade ring to show them." ”

Fan Wei walked into these people with black scarves, and saw that the leader was a burly man, also wearing a black scarf, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he could only see the occasional fine light in his eyes in the torches on the side.

Fan Wei held the jade ring in his hand for the man to see, and the jade ring was placed on top of a scarf, reflecting a gorgeous luster in the flame of the torch.

As soon as the big man wanted to take it in his hand, Fan Wei said: "This is a token of King Yi's Mansion, please don't pick it up at will." ”

The strong man smiled, lowered his hand, and ordered the person next to him to come forward and check.

The man stepped forward, looked at it in the light of the torches, and then nodded.

Seeing that his brother checked correctly, the strong man hugged his fist at Fan Wei and said: "We have admired Xiangye for a long time, since we are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, we naturally believe that today's incident is that our brother's information is incomplete, and I hope that the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not blame." ”

"Withdraw"

Fan Wei knew that this strong man was not afraid of the yamen to investigate,

Fan Wei thought that these were just some thieves from a distance, but before he walked in, he realized that these people were not good at stubble. Seeing that the strong man came and went in a hurry with this group of people, he disappeared after a short time.

"Deacon, us?"

The little maid on the side asked respectfully, and Fan Wei wrapped the jade ring in his hand with a scarf.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Fan Wei come back immediately, Xiao Qi asked anxiously, "Uncle Fan, how is it?" Who can follow through on their promises? ”

Fan Wei held the scarf in his hands and handed it to Xiao Qi, who took the jade ring handed back by Fan Wei and put it on his hand again.

"Yes, miss."

Fan Wei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Qi.

"In that case, to avoid any extraneous complications, let's hurry towards the manor."

Na Mingze also went to the outside of the circle besieged by the carriage, looked at the situation in the forest, and then directly got on the baggage carriage on the side.

Xiao Qi first walked towards the carriage where Zhang Biao was, ready to explain something to Zhang Biao in the car.

"Brother"

"I'm fine, these are uncontrollable things, straighten it out, and get ready to go."

Xiao Qi heard Zhang Biao's words full of understanding, and said sweetly: "Okay." ”

Xiao Qi returned to his car, Qingyi was comforting Ling'er, and the nursery rhyme was still closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, Sister Lightcoat."

Qingyi didn't ask any more, appeased Ling'er, and straightened her clothes for the nursery rhyme. After a day of rushing, Xiao Qi was also tired at this time, and now he is relaxed again, and tiredness appears.

The guards outside the car made sure that there was no one around, sorted out the convoy, and after asking Xiao Qi, they ran to the manor, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Zhangjia manor.

The steward of the manor had already been notified in advance, and at this time he was waiting outside the manor, waiting for the arrival of the group.

When the stewards saw the people coming, they did not dare to ask anything, although the guards had serious faces. Let people take them to the accommodation that has been prepared for a few people a long time ago.

Zhang Biao was simply indifferent to what happened just now, asked for supper, and pushed nursery rhymes to enjoy the moonlight in this Zhuangzi pavilion, and I don't know if it was a big heart or something else.

Qingyi and Ling'er had a feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they were not hungry at all, but they still couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness, so they simply cleaned up and went back to the room to rest.

After arranging Zhang Biao and the others, Xiao Qi of course had to be accompanied by Fan Wei, and greeted a few stewards of this Zhuangzi, and then he had to appease the Zhang family who came together.

"Miss, how about you have a little late-night snack?"

Xiao Qi and Fan Wei were busy with everything, and Fan Wei said to Xiao Qi on the way back to the house.

Xiao Qi didn't reply, asked Fan Wei to take a rest, and he went into the house.

Although Xiao Qi asked Fan Wei to go back to rest, he didn't dare to be sloppy, just after such a thing happened, the guards who came naturally didn't dare to rest, so they could only take turns to rest outside the door.
