On the official road between Chang'an and Yuzhou, a team of escorting goods is coming towards Chang'an, and the clouds on the horizon are gradually flooded with colorful eyes, stretching the figure under the dusk very long, and the escorted goods are planted with a flag, with a "Xiao" character printed on it.

This is the Shaw family's cargo convoy.

"Young Master, Young Madam. One of the guards stepped forward and said to the people in the carriage, "It's getting dark, it's not good to hurry up in front of you, it's far away from the inn, so it's better to camp nearby!"

Chen Yanxi nodded and said, "Find a safer place nearby, rest for one night, and go to Chang'an tomorrow, and then treat everyone well!"

"Okay, young lady!" As soon as the guards heard Chen Yanxi say this, they didn't have the fatigue of hurrying, and they would arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, and they would be able to rest for a few days.

Xiao Nansheng sat in the carriage and looked at Chen Yanxi like this, but laughed out loud.

Chen Yanxi turned his head to look at Xiao Nansheng: "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Nansheng said: "Mrs. Xiao is very serious in doing things, and everyone listens to you very much. ”

Chen Yanxi frowned and wondered, "What's so funny about this?"

"Madame's serious things are very beautiful. Xiao Nansheng said.

Chen Yanxi said with a straight face: "Am I not usually good-looking?"

"It's good-looking, Madame is good-looking!" Xiao Nansheng said, taking her into his arms, and was about to kiss her forehead when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Chen Yanxi pushed him away and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, it's time to get out of the carriage, I'll go and see the terrain." ”

Saying that, Chen Yanxi directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, then got out of the carriage and began to check the goods and the number of people.

Xiao Nansheng, who was sitting in the carriage, sighed, his wife was very serious about doing things, and sometimes he felt that in her heart, the status of his husband was not as high as these goods.

He also got out of the carriage with him, because there was no shop in front of the village, so their team could only choose an open place to settle down and rest, after all, it was not easy to travel after dark, but fortunately they had experienced too many such things, and it was familiar to spend the night in the field.

Chen Yanxi looks at this place well, it will not be attacked by wild beasts, it is not easy to be found some distance from the official road, but if you encounter danger, you can easily run to the official road.

After setting up the tent and eating dry food, everyone began to rest, leaving two guards to guard them, and if any special situation occurred, they could also wake people up in time.

Since Chen Yanxi and Xiao Nansheng got married, they have taken over a lot of the Xiao family's business, and the business is doing well, and the Xiao family is also very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and they can't find fault with it.

Xiao Nansheng looked at Chen Yanxi who was sleeping next to him, probably influenced by the past, she always loves to solve any difficulties she encounters, she can endure any hardship, and she looks invincible, which makes him feel distressed.

Originally, she, the young lady, naturally didn't have to come in person to escort the goods, but she always wanted to know the work of her subordinates, so she transported them together.

The autumn night was a little cool, the wind was blowing, and there was a rustling sound in the surrounding woods, and I don't know if it was the sound of the leaves swaying or the footsteps of people.

The two people who were originally on vigil were also on the road for a day, but they were a little tired, and even if they were standing, they couldn't help but squint their eyes slightly.

The wind blew, and suddenly felt a burning smell, Chen Yanxi suddenly opened his eyes!

There was a fire burning outside the tent!

"It's on fire!" suddenly someone shouted, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and all the goods were on fire, even on the tents.

Chen Yanxi pulled Xiao Nansheng up, took out the sword on the side and walked outside.

But as soon as they came out of the tent, countless fiery arrows shot at them, Chen Yanxi was so shocked that he swung his sword to block the arrows that shot at them, but many of their guards were shot and fell to the ground.

The tent had already been burned, and some people who had not yet had time to wake up were surrounded by the flames, and their bodies were also burned, and they struggled to run out of the tent in pain, but there was no water around, so they could only let the fire burn, crying out in pain.

Xiao Nansheng looked at all this in shock, he didn't know why it had become like this, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Chen Yanxi frowned, she held her sword to block all the arrows, looked coldly at the killers coming from afar, gritted her teeth, and took Xiao Nansheng's hand and ran in the direction of the woods.

Those killers saw Chen Yanxi and Xiao Nansheng running away, and they chased after each other!

There are about forty or fifty of these killers, and it seems that their martial arts are not low, if they don't run, they can only wait for death!

She held Xiao Nansheng's hand tightly and kept running forward in the dark night, but fortunately, the woods were overgrown with weeds, and those killers couldn't run fast at all.

"Why did they kill us?" Xiao Nansheng asked puzzled as he ran.

Chen Yanxi said: "Now is not the time to discuss this issue, the most important thing is to save your life!"

They ran deeper into the woods, and the road became more and more difficult, for it was too dark to see what was ahead.

"Ahh

Chen Yanxi looked back and saw that the killers were about to catch up, she immediately pulled Xiao Nansheng up, continued to walk forward, and saw a hidden place in the grass not far away, she suddenly stopped.

"You run first, I'll stay and delay them. Chen Yanxi said.

Xiao Nansheng shook his head and said, "Madam, this is too dangerous!"

"But if the two of us are together, no one will be able to run away in the end!" Chen Yanxi explained.

Xiao Nansheng insisted: "Then I will also be with my wife." ”

Chen Yanxi looked at him with such a persistent appearance, took a deep breath, and said, "Nansheng, thank you." Forget about me. ”

Before Xiao Nansheng could ask what this meant, Chen Yanxi raised his hand and slammed his palm on his neck, he only felt a pain, and then fainted......

Chen Yanxi hid Xiao Nansheng in a hidden bush, and then walked in the direction of those killers with his sword.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Chen Yanxi.

The man who took the lead: "You don't have to know, we're here to take your life!"

Chen Yanxi's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light in the dark night, which looked particularly strange in the dark night, her eyes were full of determination, and she clenched her sword and stabbed directly at the killers......

When Xiao Nansheng woke up, he only felt that the sun was unusually dazzling, and his neck was particularly painful, he reached out and rubbed his neck, and suddenly thought of something, and the whole person was stunned in place.

He looked around, it was still in the woods, but there was silence all around.

The whole body immediately straightened up, he looked around, and did not find Chen Yanxi's shadow.

"Madame......" he whispered, but his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

The forest was quiet, quiet and terrifying, and he walked back along the path, looking for Chen Yanxi as he went.

"Madam, where are you, are you okay to come out?" Xiao Nansheng called, but the whole forest seemed to have only his echo.

As he continued to move forward, he suddenly saw a dark red blood stain under his feet, and his heart jumped suddenly, and then he walked forward sharply.

In the dense woods, the blood stains became thicker and thicker, and he was frightened when he saw the scene in front of him.

More than two dozen killer corpses lay on the ground, rivers of blood flowing.

And in the middle lying a woman with blood all over her body, although her face could no longer be seen clearly, Xiao Nansheng had already recognized her.

"Madam......" Xiao Nansheng's throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't shout like this, seeing Chen Yanxi lying in a pool of blood like this, his heart seemed to be stabbed hard, and it hurt even more.

He stepped forward and knelt down directly, hugged Chen Yanxi's corpse, and finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

They have only been married for more than a year, and they have not yet had children who belong to them, and they have not shared a white head together, so she left herself......

"Ahh

A cry of bitterness came through the woods, as if the whole mountain had been shaken by a terrible cry, and even the birds flew in terror to the branches.

In the palace.

"Niangniang be careful!" Qing Kite looked at Shen Yanshu and almost broke his foot, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

I saw that the vase in Shen Yanshu's hand hit the ground, and with a "snap", it fell into pieces, but Shen Yanshu was so frightened that he was stunned in place.

Chao Yan, who was in the area, hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly helped Shen Yanshu.

"Niangniang, you have to be careful, if you bump into it, it's terrible!" Chao Yan said fearfully.

Shen Yanshu only felt a little pain in his heart, and his breathing was uncomfortable, so he didn't stand firm for a moment, and he still hasn't come back to his senses.

Qing Kite looked at Shen Yanshu with some concern: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yanshu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just feel a pain in my heart, and I don't know why." ”

She turned around and walked to the side where there was no debris, and sat down in a chair with the support of Qing Kite and Chao Yan.

Chao Yan poured Shen Yanshu a cup of tea.

"The slave maid went to ask for a doctor, this lady's belly is a month old, so naturally she can't tolerate sloppiness. The green kite saluted Shen Yanshu, and then trotted towards the Tai Hospital, and just after leaving the door, he bumped into Mojiang who came over.

Seeing that the green kite was about to fall to the ground, Mo Jiang pulled her up.

"You are so frizzy that you don't have long eyes!" the green kite couldn't help but complain.

Mo Jiang didn't reason with her, but walked straight forward.

Seeing Shen Yanshu sitting on the chair, he stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Concubine Yanniang, there is news from outside that Chen Yanxi, the second young lady of the Xiao family, has been killed. ”

"Bang-"

The teacup in Shen Yanshu's hand fell to the ground.
