The girl slowly closed her eyes and felt the wind pass through her body, perhaps the last thing she felt in the world.

"Father!"

Without being reminded by his daughter, Xiudao had already made a move, and a black shadow shot out of his body without warning, and the "shadow clone" turned into a black lightning bolt and went straight to the girl who fell from the building.

The hearts of those who looked up at this time were in their throats, and time seemed to stand still at this moment. The "shadow clone" flashed in front of the tall building, caught the falling girl steadily, and then "swished" and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"This is—" The young captain watched this scene clearly from the top of the building, looked around for a moment, and then turned away from the roof.

"Where's that girl?"

"Why is it gone?"

"What was that dark shadow just now?"

"She can't be some kind of evil thing, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight. ”

"If so, she won't come to trouble us, will she?"

"I knew earlier, I didn't say a word just now. ”

.

.

.

When the crowd saw this strange scene happening, they began to talk about it.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed in Xiulian's direction and shouted, "There, that girl is there." ”

The others hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction of the finger.

I saw that the girl who jumped off the building was lying flat in front of Xiu Lian's wheelchair at this moment, breathing rapidly, and the black shadow that caught her disappeared.

The girl asked, lying flat on the ground, staring blankly at the blue sky. "Why save me?"

"Suicide doesn't solve anything, it's just a cowardly escape. Xiu Lian glanced back at her father and mother, then looked at the girl and whispered, she was not answering the girl's question, but saying what her younger brother Xiuhua had told her many years ago.

"I—" Tears flowed down the corners of the girl's eyes.

"If you have a problem, you might as well speak up. ”

"I—" The girl was bitter and sad.

Xiu Lian looked at the girl and didn't say anything more, and the rest could only depend on the girl herself.

At this time, the young captain had already run out of the corridor of the high-rise building, trotted all the way to the monk's path, and before he had time to catch his breath, he made a guard salute to the monk's road, "Dare to ask if it was Your Excellency's hand just now?"

"Well, it's me. After examining the young captain up and down, the cultivator smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your help. The young guard stood up and saluted again.

"It's just a gesture. The monk waved his hand casually.

"No, it may be a gesture for you, but for that girl, it gave her a second life. The youth captain insisted with a serious face.

When the youth captain said this, Xiu Dao felt that his attitude was too casual, so he reached out and patted the youth captain on the shoulder.

"Thank you again, Your Excellency, I have other matters to attend to. The youth captain saluted again and turned away, the crowd still needed him and his companions to sort through to avoid any further problems.

"Hmph, an interesting young man. Monk said with a smile as he looked at the back of the young captain. "Alright, let's go. ”

"Father, I don't want to go any further, I want to go back to the carriage. After the incident just now, Xiu Lian's mood was somewhat affected, and she looked a little depressed.

Xiudao secretly looked at his wife, and Ling'er knew what he meant, so she stroked her daughter's hair, "It's just right, husband, I'm tired of shopping, let's go back to the carriage." ”

"Good. Xiudao turned around and gestured to Shadow, and Shadow drove the black carriage to Xiudao's side, and Xiudao picked up Xiu Lian, the princess as before, and carried her back to the carriage for her to sit down, just as Xiudao reflexively prepared to take the wheelchair into the carriage. A group of guards dressed in blue lion armor and silver swords ran from a distance, their steps in unison and their footsteps even more powerful.

Those who had not yet dispersed and the guards of the security management office who had cleared the crowd were deeply shocked by this scene, and the people living in the imperial capital, even the poorest people, were all too familiar with the blue lion armor, which was the iconic armor of His Majesty's personal guards, and the personal guards only obeyed and served His Majesty the Emperor.

"Strange, how could His Majesty's personal guards appear here?" muttered the young captain as he watched the scene. Not only him, but almost everyone present was thinking about it.

There were about ten people in the guards, they ran all the way to the black carriage and stopped, divided into two rows on the left and right, a leader-like guard walked out of the team, bowed to the monks and said, "Venster, the captain of the tenth squad of the third brigade of the pro-guard army, has seen Lord Xiu, Your Majesty has just finished the morning discussion, and when I heard that my lord entered the city, he sent me and others to welcome you into the palace, and Your Majesty wants to see you." ”

Captain Venster's voice was loud but not small, and the people around him heard it clearly, and soon another doubt rose from the hearts of the onlookers, "What is the origin of this person?

"You're coming quickly!"

"Your Majesty orders us to be swift. Captain Venster replied.

"And how do you know I'm the one you're looking for? Shudo joked with a smile.

"We've seen the portrait of Master Xiu. ”

"Hey, this stinky boy actually secretly painted my portrait!" "Xiu Dao complained dissatisfied, "but he is well-informed, and he is about to catch up with my Xiu family." The cultivator said helplessly.

"Stinky boy!! could it be Your Majesty?" Venster thought to himself, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead. He has been a pro-guard for some time, and it is not once or twice that he has been sent by His Majesty to greet people, and it is not that he has never seen a powerful person, but he has never seen anyone dare to call His Majesty like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"My wife, then you and Lian'er will go home first, and I will come back after I go to see Your Majesty, and I also happen to have something to tell him. Ignoring Venster's expression and feelings, the monk kissed Ling'er lightly on the forehead and got out of the carriage.

"Well, Lian'er and I are waiting for you to come back at home. Ling'er replied by kissing the monk's lips.

"It won't be long, don't worry. Shudo laughed and jumped out of the carriage, and Shadow jumped down as well.

"Hey, what are you kid doing to make a fuss, it's safe to go to the palace, you don't need to follow. Knowing what Shadow meant, the monk turned to him and said.

Shadow pointed to his heart and shook his head.

"Don't worry, and you went with me, who will send my wife and daughter home?"

Shadow gestured to Captain Venster and his guards.

"It's not good to trouble people like this. ”

Shadow still insisted.

"If you don't obey, I won't take you out next time. ”

“...”

"I... I can't help you, Captain Navenst, and trouble you to send someone to drive me and take my family home. Xiu Dao looked at the shadow helplessly and said to Captain Venster.

"Okay, Master Xiu. Venster didn't hesitate to turn around and assign someone, "Xiao Luo, just go for you." ”

"Yes, Captain. The named guard stepped out of the column and quickly stepped into the carriage.

Xiao Luo was just about to wield the horsewhip, when the girl who jumped off the building suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to the front of the carriage, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Adult, adult, please help me." ”

"Bold..."

The monk stopped Venster's angry rebuke, looked at the girl and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty now, but I can't keep him waiting, can you? ”

"But, my lord, I..."

"If you can trust me, I'll listen to me. Without waiting for the girl to finish, he stepped forward and reached out to help her up.

The girl hesitated and finally nodded, "Yes, sir." ”

"Well, then Xiao Luo, this girl also pleases you. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Venster interjected when he saw the opportunity, "Master Xiu, our carriage is also ready, please come with us." ”

"Okay, you lead the way. ”
