The majestic mountain peaks outlined a majestic silhouette in the night, and the figure galloping from the horse was like a long arrow shot by a strong crossbow, as if it had rushed to Shen Xihe's side in the blink of an eye.

Shen Xihe threw out the fire fold and rolled down the other side, but unexpectedly, there were a lot of gravel below, and a few cuts were made on his wrist, which hurt hotly. She is not squeamish, but her body is squeamish, and she is sure that there is no danger for the time being, and there is a puddle next to her that looks very clean, Shen Xihe took out the handkerchief pressed on her waist, wet the handkerchief and cleaned up the wound.

The sound of horses' hooves made her stand up in fright, and before she could turn around, a warm and generous embrace hugged her from behind, and her hands were like iron ropes tightly holding her, and she trembled lightly as if she could not stand the cold of the cold night.

The familiar medicinal fragrance made Shen Xihe loosen the clasp on her wrist, but she didn't like to come into contact with anyone who was not a relative, whether it was a man or a woman, she struggled uncomfortably.

However, Xiao Huayong's pair of iron arms were extremely powerful, and she couldn't shake them at all, so she had to whisper a hidden warning: "Let go." ”

"A moment, a moment......" he closed his eyes and pleaded in a low voice.

Let him feel her temperature and breath, and feel that she is still here.

Shen Xihe was shocked by his lingering tone, but it was only for a moment, and when she was about to speak again, Xiao Huayong had already let go of her, and carefully scanned it from head to toe with concern, and saw her hand wrapped in a handkerchief, and held her hands again: "Hurt?" Is it heavy or not? Does it hurt? But are there any other injuries? ”

Shen Xihe withdrew his hand back: "Why is His Highness here?" ”

His hands were empty, the night breeze blew through his palms, and for a while, Xiao Huayong slowly retracted his five fingers that didn't catch anything: "I...... I'm worried about you. ”

"Your Highness knows who is the mastermind?" Shen Xihe hurriedly asked.

Shen Xihe thought that if Xiao Huayong didn't know the person behind it, how could he be worried that she wouldn't be able to deal with it and come here in person?

No matter when and where, what she cares about is always the overall situation, Xiao Huayong sighed in her heart: "Let's not talk about these things first, find a safe place and take a look at the injury." ”

"I'm fine." Shen Xihe's most painful place was not the bruise, or the place where he was hit by a stone when he rolled downhill, but was hit by Hai Dongqing, and it was estimated that his shoulder must be bruised.

Xiao Huayong's arrival brought people, especially the people who walked in front of Shen Xi and opened the way for her, and they also turned back for reinforcements at this moment, whether it was Shen Xihe here, or Mo Yuan and Teng Jing on the mountain, there were not many worries.

The place was some distance behind Xiao Huayong, so he went to the camping place first, and repaired Shen Xihe's carriage and drove over.

Xiao Huayong cast a satisfied look at him, and he straightened his chest, and he said that he must be more pleasing than his brother and understand the master better than his brother!

Xiao Huayong helped Shen Xihe into the carriage, and Hongyu also chased after him, originally wanting to follow, Xiao Huayong, who had already stepped on the carriage with one foot, was stunned.

Seeing this, Hongyu froze in place, under the moonless night, a lantern was hung on the edge of the carriage, clearly illuminating Xiao Huayong's unhappy look, Hongyu subconsciously retreated for a moment, feeling that she was inappropriate.

But in an instant, she reacted, she is not the servant of His Royal Highness the Prince, she wants to protect the county lord!

Ignoring the stinky face of His Royal Highness the Prince, Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Xiao Huayong in a dignified manner: "The servant has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Huayong withdrew his long legs, got out of the way, and moved perfunctorily with his face: "You go and see if the county lord is injured elsewhere." ”

Somewhere else? As soon as Hongyu heard that Shen Xihe was injured, she immediately jumped into the carriage and pulled the curtain to get in.

Shen Xihe saw Hongyu coming, so he asked, "Do they have any news about pearls?" ”

"The people who pursued us have all retreated, Sister Pearl, and they will be fine." Hongyu cared more about Shen Xihe, she held Shen Xihe's hand, took out the medicine box prepared by Xie Yunhuai, turned out the incense medicine for Shen Xihe to reprocess, and said, "County Lord, let the maid take a look, where are you still injured." ”

"Don't worry, wait for the pearl to come." Shen Xihe was injured on the shoulder, he must be dressed loosely, and the carriage would be warm when the iron plate was raised, but when he thought of a man standing outside, Shen Xihe couldn't bear it.

As soon as Hongyu heard it, she knew that Shen Xihe was really injured, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Where is the county lord's injury?" ”

Shen Xihe's gaze fell on his shoulder, Hongyu thought that he had just been knocked away by Hai Dongqing, so he didn't say much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was outside, Hai Dongqing had the ability to save the county lord, if it weren't for this collision, the county lord might have been pierced through the heart by an arrow, so as not to cause His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to misunderstand when he said it.

Xiao Huayong came, he was so calm and relaxed, he must be in charge of the overall situation, Shen Xihe was not worried, Shen Xihe, who was about to close his door to recuperate, suddenly thought of her Qionghua: "Hongyu, go back, Qionghua!" ”

Hongyu immediately understood, jumped out of the carriage and said to the place: "Brother Lao, drive the carriage back." ”

Xiao Huayong was standing outside, and naturally hearing Shen Xihe's words, he jumped into the carriage and sat outside and commanded the place: "Catch the car." ”

When they rushed back, the remaining guards who had camped were still sleeping very deeply, Shen Xihe ran to Qionghua, and found that a few plants happened to choose to open tonight, and at this time they had already bloomed, fortunately, there were still two plants left that had not bloomed, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Raise some in the palace next year." Xiao Huayong said softly, he looked at the sky and saw that the light was gradually brightening, "The rest of the night should not bloom again, go back and rest." ”

Shen Xihe also knew that Qionghua would not bloom again at dawn, so she did not stay here stubbornly, she still returned to the village, and it didn't take long for Pearl and Moyu to come back together, and both of them had some blood stains on their bodies.

"Are there any dead or wounded?" Shen Xihe asked.

Not only Pearl Moyuan and others, but others were also brought by her from the northwest, and some people's fathers and mothers were still looking forward to it in the northwest.

"The county lord is relieved that no one has died. We all suffered some skin wounds, and they tried to catch us all together, but fortunately, the spices of the county lord stunned most of the people in the village. Pearl replied.

Just as Shen Xihe guessed, the expelled bandits in the day were indeed fish that slipped through the net, but after they were discovered, they deliberately lured them over to lure Shen Xihe, but they inevitably exposed their whereabouts, they didn't dare to follow too closely about what the pearl did, and they couldn't imagine that Shen Xihe would use the wind to give them incense.

Only then was a fierce battle avoided, the stunned people in the village were all caught alive, Shen Xihe added fine spices to the explosives, and the incense that exploded also stunned many people to make a live mouth.

"Sister Pearl, quickly show the county lord the injury." Ruby has always remembered it.

"Where was the county lord injured?" Pearl also tensed up.

Shen Xihe glanced at Xiao Huayong, Xiao Huayong touched his nose and consciously avoided it.
