Wedge:

In the tenth year of Linzhao, the iron cavalry of Daqi stepped into the Jiang country, the country was ruined, and Emperor Zhao was cowardly all his life, and hanged himself on the main hall before the palace gate was breached.

The once splendid palace is now in disarray.

The palace maids and eunuchs who fled everywhere, the concubines who used to wear gorgeous clothes and had a dignified and elegant temperament, have changed into the clothes of the palace maids at this time, and they are blending in the crowd to escape from the chaotic palace.

Shi An dragged her body like a walking corpse to the city wall, and the palace maids and eunuchs who used to be respectful to her and didn't even dare to look at her directly now bumped into her from time to time because they were in a hurry to flee for their lives.

Her thin body was constantly being bumped, but she didn't care as if she didn't feel pain, and continued to walk forward with dull eyes.

The north wind on the city walls was whistling, and snow-white snowflakes began to drift in the air.

Shi An slowly raised her hand, and the clearly shaped snowflakes fell on her palm, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's so beautiful." ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, she raised her eyes to see that it just collided with the man's gaze, and seeing his eyes widening, Shi An raised a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth, and her lips opened lightly, "Farewell." The next moment, he jumped off the city wall without hesitation.

"Shi An, no-"

…………

Qi State, the twentieth year of Emperor Jia, went to a mansion outside the capital.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?"

Yu Shuyue finally woke up from the nightmare amid Peony's anxious cries.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Seeing that Yu Shuyue's white bedclothes had been soaked with sweat, Peony was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she quickly found new bedclothes for her to change into, and wiped the dense sweat on her forehead and neck with a towel.

"It's okay, you can step back and rest."

Yu Shuyue couldn't remember the scene in her dream, or even the man's appearance, but the hissing "Shi An" lingered in her mind for a long time, lingering.

In the past month, she had dreamed of the same dream no less than ten times, but every time she woke up, she couldn't recall what was in the dream, she shook her head and raised her hand to press her temples softly, while exhaling deeply.

In her contemplation, she suddenly became vigilant, but before she could make any movements, the sword that flashed with a cold light and a faint smell of blood was already against her white neck.

"There's no malice in the bottom, it's just a place to hide, as long as you cooperate, I won't hurt you."

Although the man's voice sounded very calm, Yu Shuyue still heard his weakness, thinking that he was injured.

Her hand hidden under the quilt moved slowly, and her mouth comforted the man who came from nowhere, "Okay, I'll cooperate." ”

"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Don't disturb Miss. ”

As soon as Yu Shuyue's words fell, there was a noisy sound outside and the words of Peony scolding the guards.

"Girl, this group of people is chasing a thief, saying that they have entered this courtyard, and the last general is also afraid that Miss will be frightened, so he has come to confirm."

"Let them go." The man whispered.

Feeling that the dagger was closer to her flesh, Yu Shuyue's palms couldn't help but soak in cold sweat.

"Peony, what's so noisy outside?"

She cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound normal.

"Miss, General Zhou is on routine patrol, are you okay?"

Thinking of the appearance of Fang Cai's own young lady soaked in cold sweat, Peony was worried that she was still disturbed by dreams.

"I'm fine, you all step down."

The sword around her neck was closer to her when Peony was about to open the door, and Yu Shuyue had to hurry up and make them all retreat.

Although she trusted General Zhou very much in their strength, this person's movements were definitely faster than him, and in order to save her life, she could only cooperate first.

"Are you okay?"

Waiting for the courtyard to return to tranquility, Yu Shuyue asked softly with her heart.

Through the moonlight, the man could see that there was a slight red on her neck, and he frowned slightly.

"Thanks, sorry."

Quickly put away his sword, turned and left neatly by the window.

Sure that the person is gone, Yu Shuyue's heart finally let go, she exhaled deeply, looking at the handkerchief on the quilt, she frowned slightly, I don't know why the man left this.

Her hand came out of the quilt, and she was holding a delicate little dagger in her hand, not to mention the dagger's smallness, but it could sharpen iron like clay.

She carefully picked up the handkerchief with her dagger and looked at it, but there was nothing special except for the jade bamboo embroidered under the handkerchief.

She pursed her lips, and finally decided to get up and get out of bed, pick up a handkerchief with a dagger, and go to the window, throw away the handkerchief without hesitation, and then put down the window and lay back on the bed.

Yu Shuyue's slender hand was still tightly gripping Fang Cai's delicate dagger, and her eyes were wide open looking at the bed curtain above.

She now regrets that she just learned some useless light skills from her brother at the beginning, and at this time, it won't work for anything.

This has not yet happened to Shangjing, maybe there will be anything else in Shangjing, it seems that she will have to let her brother teach herself a few self-defense moves.

Yu Shuyue slowly closed her eyes sleepily while thinking.

The breeze blew slightly outside the window, and the white handkerchief on the ground was blown to the corner of the wall in a short time.

Early the next morning.

"Miss, what's wrong with your neck?"

Peony waited for Yu Shuyue to dress, and when she saw the dark red blood on her neck, she immediately panicked, "Are you injured?" The slave and maid will go and call the doctor. ”

"Peony, come back, it's okay, it's not mine."

Yu Shuyue rubbed her hand, she was not injured, it may be that the blood stains on the man's sword last night stained her neck.

She frowned in disgust and stepped aside to clean her hands.

Peony was worried and wanted to ask what was going on, but Yu Shuyue obviously didn't want to answer this question, and they had to hurry today, so she had to shut up.

For the next journey, she will guard her young lady every step of the way!
