They sat in the car, with a canopy roof, and they could shake the fan in their hands and drink a cup of herbal tea to cool off the heat.

The people outside are mostly ox carts and donkey carts, running back and forth every day in order to make a living, exposed to the wind and sun.

Qu Ningxi grew up in Shangjing, and it was not that he had never met the poor people, but the people affected by the disaster were different from them.

The people in the disaster-stricken areas are in a bitter spirit, like a vegetable seedling in the field that has been beaten by frost is wilting.

Natural disasters are difficult to avoid by man, but man-made disasters can.

It is not difficult to imagine how many layers of sorrow would be shrouded in the sorrow of the people if there were another war in Dahuan?

Qu Ningxi shook her fan, and was about to ask Pei Yingxiao about the situation on Pu Luogan's side.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a long sword appear in his hand.

The silver-white scabbard is finely carved, and it is not inlaid with any gems and jade, but it exudes a cold aura by itself.

"Is this ......" his sword? She saw it for the first time.

Last autumn hunt, the crown prince carried a sword, but it was a fancy sword that some of Shangjing's sons pretended to be.

And now this handle looks very different, Qu Ningxi doesn't understand weapons, but he also feels that it is faintly entangled with cold killing intent.

Pei Yingxiao replied: "It's called Shuoling." ”

There is also a name, it seems that it is really an unusual weapon, Qu Ningxi thought so, and listened to him: "This is the sword that my father once used." ”

Lu Jiada: Master?

Qu Ningxi naturally didn't know him, but I heard that he was extremely outstanding in his literary and martial arts, and he was the first son of Shangjing in the past.

If this sword was his, it was no wonder that Pei Yingxiao never took it out, because it would attract jealousy and suspicion.

Qu Ningxi reached out curiously to touch it, its scabbard was smooth and cold, and the lines on it were smooth and exquisite.

"How did you get it out?" She thought for a moment and asked, "Did something happen to Lu Yanhua?" ”

Since His Majesty has fallen, but he is conscious, he has killed the two Imperial Doctors, and it is difficult not to attack the Lu family.

As far as Emperor Tianqing was concerned, he had good reason to doubt the crown prince, or rather, he was already sure at this time.

"He's already hiding," Pei Yingxiao slowly raised his eyes and said, "It is estimated that the person sent to assassinate us will be almost there." ”

What? Qu Ningxi almost thought he had heard it wrong: "Assassination?!" ”

"Are you afraid?" Pei Yingxiao glanced at her.

"Yes, sent by His Majesty?" Of course Qu Ningxi was scared, she had seen assassination, and she was powerless, which was really dangerous.

How can a normal person not be afraid.

Pei Yingxiao seemed to be smiling, and said: "He probably wants to capture me alive, if he can't take it, then he will be executed on the spot." ”

Because it is inconvenient to abolish the crown prince on the surface, especially since there is no other suitable candidate for the prince in the court, even if the emperor insists on abolishing the crown prince, there will be many obstacles and it will be difficult to implement.

For a while, he was afraid that he could not find a reasonable charge.

"Your Majesty is so ruthless," Qu Ningxi frowned: "It is said that tigers do not eat children, but this is not the case with the royal family." ”

Emperor Tianqing didn't know Pei Yingxiao's life experience, this was the crown prince he had raised for many years, and because he suspected that his son wanted to avenge the Lu family, he killed him?

If he cares about family affection, maybe Gulan Temple will not have that nameless tablet.

Emperor Tianqing personally killed the seven-month-old fetus, and he thought he had not succeeded.

Later, Pei Yingxiao replaced him and grew up under his nose, and it was precisely because of his negligence that he was able to replace him smoothly with a difference of one year.

According to his birthday, the crown prince is one year older than the children of the Lu family.

When Empress Lu was a child, she was strictly guarded, and no one found out about this secret, and when she grew up a little later, she said that the prince was weak, so she covered up the past.

Emperor Tianqing failed to find out, because he didn't look at this son at all, but riveted his mind to deal with the Lu family and the queen.

When the people he dealt with were gone, he began to think about abolishing the prince.

At that time, Pei Yingxiao was a few years old, he was earlier than his peers, he had to endure and learn to disguise step by step.

pretended to be the appearance that his father liked, and there was no trace of the Lu family on his body.

Emperor Tianqing still has to use the Lu family to make himself lenient, and he can't immediately abolish the crown prince.

Later, as the Lu family disappeared in Shangjing for a long time, he felt comfortable in his heart, and he didn't care so much about the half of the Lu family's bloodline on the prince's body.

That's his son, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family.

But ever since Emperor Tianqing received the secret letter, the thorn buried deep in his heart has been singled out.

His hatred of the Lu family outweighed his own half of his bloodline, and he decided to attack the crown prince.

The carriage left the boundary of Jiahe County and settled at the post station in Yifengpo that night.

Because Qu Ningxi was awakened, she was on guard in her heart, and she no longer had the same leisurely mood as before.

That night, the people were sleepy and tired, so they had a meal in the post house, and the big guys rested early.

Qu Ningxi couldn't sleep, nestled in Pei Yingxiao's arms, blinking a pair of big eyes.

She had something on her mind, and suddenly a pair of big hands came up and covered her eyelids, "Sleep." ”

"Your Highness, the dead must have appeared in the night." The night is dark and the wind is high, so take advantage of the night to assassinate.

Pei Yingxiao's long sword was next to the bed, he was lying on his back, his palm was close to her, and said, "They are coming, can you meet the enemy?" ”

Qu Ningxi shook his head: "How can I ......?"

He couldn't help but chuckle: "Then can you escape on your own?" ”

She blinked, her eyelashes were like a small fan, swept over his palm, and said, "I feel like I can't escape ......."

It is easy to be injured by mistake and directly hacked to death.

"And what are you doing awake?" Pei Yingxiao lowered his head and opened his lips, taking her jade white ear flesh in his mouth.

"You're right, it's useless for me to be awake." Qu Ningxi was afraid of itching, and shrunk her neck: "However, I can worry about you when I am awake." ”

He couldn't help but be stunned: "Worried about me? ”

"Of course, I'll be worried." Qu Ningxi nodded: "Don't have an accident." ”

When Pei Yingxiao heard this, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and then smiled: "What should I do, I really want to make you cry." ”

Little liars.

And they coaxed him with nice words.

Qu Ningxi: "? ”

If he wasn't moved by this, he didn't forget to make her cry?

Chapter 63 63

Qu Ningxi now almost understood what kind of way he called 'crying', and he was almost afraid of him.

Busy said: "The hour is not early, Your Highness, go to sleep quickly." ”

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Pei Yingxiao raised his eyelids and asked.

There are so many people living in the inn, I am afraid that the partition wall has ears, and of course it is inconvenient for any movement.

Especially when she was crying and chirping, he could only hear it.

Moreover, since he was on guard against the killer, he would not put himself in an embarrassing situation.

"No ......" Qu Ningxi didn't want to face him anymore, and turned over and lay on his side.

Then she was firmly embraced, Pei Yingxiao circled her hands from behind her, and hugged each other gently: "Sleep." ”

The wide chest seems to be tailor-made for her, and it is perfectly embedded in it, which is extremely suitable, warm and reassuring.

Qu Ningxi listened to the heartbeat in her ears, and soon became sleepy, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

On this night, nothing happened at the post station in Yifengpo.

The group got up and had breakfast, and continued to set off.

They will follow the official road around the foot of the hill of Yibongpo.

According to the locals, the mountain ridge is dedicated to the gods, and the roar of the mountain spirits can be heard every rainy night.

This is just like a casual chatter of young men, and he forgets what he hears.

Yifengpo covers a very wide area, and walked along the winding official road for a long time, and has not yet stepped out of its boundary.

Today, the northwest wind blew, and when I walked to a secluded place in the woods, there was a faint dull movement that was sent to everyone's ears by the wind, and it was not very loud, as if it came from the depths of the mountains.

"What sound?" Fuji Min suddenly became interested, "Is it the legend of their gods?" ”

Last night, a group of people were eating in the lobby, and their voices were not small, and she had heard some local legends.

Ming En looked at the dense forest on the hillside and said, "Pretend to be a ghost." ”

Qiu Chi, who followed behind him, nodded and agreed: "It is said that it is only a rainy night, but it is blue and white at this time, and it is not raining." ”

Who knows, the voice fell, accompanied by gusts of wind, a clear and audible rumbling sound came from the mountain, like a drum.

The voice was not loud, but in the ears of this group of martial arts practitioners, it was enough.

A few people couldn't help but look at each other, but there was really a sound?

Pei Yingxiao, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain with one hand and stared ahead through the window, his eyes a little cold.

Ming En was about to open his mouth to ask, but suddenly his expression changed, and he immediately tightened the reins: "Enemy attack!" ”

He suddenly reminded the team, and the team stopped in unison, drew their swords one after another, and in the next moment, shot many bows and arrows in the dense forest in front of them.

Ten thousand arrows! The team was almost completely encircled.

"There is an ambush!" Qiu Chi beckoned, and a well-trained group of guards immediately protected the prince's carriage and swung their swords against the bows and arrows.

As for Fuji Min, she got into the carriage at the first moment, and her only duty was to protect the crown princess.

Qu Ningxi's ear power was not as good as that of this group of people, and just now he was listening carefully to the so-called drumming in the mountains, and the next moment he heard that there was an ambush.
