When the group reached the city gate, the soldiers defending the city immediately shouted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 One of the women said smartly: "Master Jun, we are the girls of Beiqinglou, Lord Taiwei has arrested Cuixin, and has ordered us to be sent back to our hometown. At this time, those sergeants fixed their eyes and saw that they were indeed a group of Qinglou women, and they heard that the assassination of Du Chi Gongzi was related to Cui Xin, so they expected that this was true. Beiqinglou has the most prosperous business on the side of the Bianhe River, and now that he has offended Taiwei Du, he can only close down. Thinking of this, the soldiers opened the city gate and let them go. Zhai Jingyue also mixed out of the city with the crowd.

Mei Jiutong was dressed in plain clothes at this time, and chased him all the way to the Taiwei Mansion and intercepted the group of sergeants. Those people shouted, "Who are you?" Mei Jiutong didn't answer, and flew to save Cui Xin. Those people hurriedly stepped forward, and before they could draw their swords, they were knocked to the ground by Mei Jiutong. Cui Xin broke free from one of the arms and shouted: "Brother Mei, I'm here ......" Mei Jiutong looked back and saw that Cui Xin was less than two feet away from her, so she hurriedly went up to protect her and said, "Cui Xin, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

The soldiers in the Taiwei Mansion heard the sound of fighting outside the mansion, and at this time they rushed out and surrounded Mei Jiutong and Cuixin. Mei Jiutong protected Cuixin with one hand and pulled out a big knife with the other. Seeing this, those people didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and slowly rotated around the two of them.

At this time, a person came out of the house and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt Cui Xin." Mei Jiutong and Cui Xin looked up and saw that the person was Du Chi. Everyone immediately stepped back, still holding their swords in their hands. Du Chi walked up to Cuixin, held her hand, and said, "Master Mei, are you okay?" Mei Jiutong was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized Du Chi's intentions.

Cui Xin saw that his left hand was wrapped with a white cloth, and asked with concern: "Du Gongzi, what's wrong with your hand?" Du Chi hurriedly withdrew his hand, thinking that Cui Xin still cared about himself, and returned: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Cui Xin asked again: "Du Gongzi, I heard that you were injured by the assassin, did the assassin catch you?" Du Chi smiled and said, "The assassin is a woman who has escaped." Cui Xin let out an "oh" and stopped making a sound.

Mei Jiutong put away the big knife and asked Du Chi, "My lord, how can you be good now?" Du Chi looked at the soldiers standing around, turned his head and said softly: "Lord Mei, my father believes that the assassin is related to Cuixin. It's not safe for Cuixin to stay in the capital, so you can take her out of here. Mei Jiutong was surprised, only to hear Du Chi say loudly to the soldiers in his mansion: "Brothers, you have misunderstood, the assassin has nothing to do with Cui Xin. I'll let them go now, and I'll go and tell my father later. ”

Cui Xin showed a slightly surprised look, remembering what happened to meet Feng Ruoxiang that night, and thinking that this assassin must be her. However, Du Chi told the soldiers that the assassin had nothing to do with her, which was an intention to excuse himself, and he was secretly grateful to him in his heart.

After listening to Du Chi's words, those soldiers looked left and right for a while, thinking that this was a family matter of the Taiwei Mansion, and others couldn't take care of it, so they all agreed and put away their long swords.

Mei Jiutong rode on the fast horse prepared by Du Chi and left the Taiwei Mansion with Cui Xin. When he arrived at the city gate, he took out the token that Du Chi gave him and said, "Lord Taiwei has an order, and he will go out of the city to do business, and please be accommodating." The soldiers looked at the woman on the horse and were skeptical. Suddenly, a person called: "The woman on the horse is Cui Xin?" Cui Xin was scared in her heart, and lowered her head and did not speak. Seeing that she didn't dare to look at her, the soldier was even more suspicious, and said, "You are Cuixin, I have seen you in the Farewell Love Building." ”

Mei Jiutong was afraid that Cuixin would be recognized, and he was worried that Du Chi would not be able to stop his father, and if the officers and soldiers of the brigade chased after him, the two of them might not be able to fly. Thinking of this, Mei Jiutong threw the token to the ground and scolded: "You are so bold that you dare to stop the people of the Taiwei Mansion from doing things?"

The soldier was yelled at by him, picked up the token and looked at it carefully, and saw that the token was really right, so he had to respectfully hand it to Mei Jiutong, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't blame the villain for offending, this woman looks too much like Cuixin." ”

Mei Jiutong sneered: "The Farewell Building has been seized by Lord Taiwei, see if you will go there to drink in the future?" The man said: "Don't dare, don't dare, since it has been sealed, where else are the little ones going to do?" After speaking, he raised his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to open the city gate and let them go. Mei Jiutong waved his horsewhip and ran towards the duck intestine pass.

Zhai Jingyue left Kaifeng City, took a carriage, and as soon as the front foot arrived at the Duck Intestine Pass, Mei Jiutong and Cuixin followed.

Mei Jiutong led the horse he was riding, took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the coachman. The coachman was stunned. Mei Jiutong said, "A horse and fifty taels of silver, is it enough to exchange for your carriage?" The coachman nodded again and again, took the silver, and led the horse away happily.

Mei Jiutong said to Zhai Jingyue in the car: "You and Cuixin take the carriage, and I will sit for you." Zhai Jingyue said with a smile: "It's hard work." Mei Jiutong patted his clothes and said, "Jingyue, now I am a free man, and I have my home all over the world." Zhai Jingyue hurriedly changed her words and said: "Jiutong, the fifty taels of silver just now are mine." With that, he reached out and wrapped the silver. Mei Jiutong hurriedly stopped: "We are in the rivers and lakes, why do you bother with me so much." Zhai Jingyue looked at Mei Jiutong happily and thought, "Since he is no longer in the official mansion, there is a secular obstacle between us. ”

Mei Jiutong got into the carriage and whipped the horse forward.

Cuixin sat in the car and asked cautiously, "Brother Mei, where are we going?" Mei Jiu channel: "Go to Hebei." Cui Xin was taken aback in her heart and asked, "Why do you want to go to Hebei?" I heard that Taiwei Du will also go over in a few days, won't we fall into the net?" Mei Jiu said: "This is indeed the case, as the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer." ”

Zhai Jingyue has always admired Mei Jiutong's personality, and when she saw that he insisted on going to Hebei, she didn't stop him, but only said to Cui Xin: "Sister, what Jiutong said makes sense." Mei Jiutong said loudly in front: "There is another person who also went to Hebei, and if you are lucky, you can meet him on the road." Cui Xin asked curiously: "Brother Mei, who is that person?" Mei Jiu channel: "Who else can there be?" Cui Xin raised her head and said in a daze: "Who else will there be?" Zhai Jingyue heard Mei Jiutong's voiceover, took Cui Xin's hand, and said: "Good sister, I haven't figured it out yet, isn't it your person who has been thinking about it for a long time?"

Cui Xin's face was slightly shocked, and she said, "Is it Le Gongzi?" I haven't seen him since I met him in Cuimei Mountain that night. Mei Jiutong laughed, and said while driving the car: "It's Le Yiyang." He went to the execution ground to save the woman you met that night, and fled all the way north. Cui Xin was surprised and said, "Brother Mei, what the hell is going on?" Mei Jiutong carefully told Feng Ruoxiang about the assassination of Du Taiwei and Le Yiyang's robbery of the execution ground, and Cui Xin and Zhai Jingyue were stunned.

Cui Xin said: "I don't know who she is, she was willing to assassinate Du Taiwei for me, and Du Gongzi was injured." Everything is my fault. Zhai Jingyue said: "Good sister, that woman went to teach Captain Du a lesson for you, but unfortunately she was unlucky and was caught by the soldiers in his house." Cui Xin said: "That woman looks quite standard, the same age as me, I didn't expect to almost die because of me." After saying that, he cried softly.

Mei Jiutong heard the cry and comforted: "Cui Xin, that woman is the apprentice of the concubine, and she has known your Le Gongzi for a long time, how could she be easily killed by Du Taiwei." Cui Xin thought of Le Yiyang, remembered that he was accompanied by Ji Yun by his side, and now there was more Feng Ruoxiang, and he didn't feel a pain in his heart.

The three of them traveled more than 100 miles overnight and came to a mountainous area in Weizhou. Mei Jiutong got off the horse to get water, and told Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin to wait in the car. The two women drove all night, and at this time they were so tired that their whole bodies were weak, and as soon as Mei Jiutong left, the two fell asleep on the car window.

A group of men roared in. The first person saw the carriage parked on the side of the road, and immediately asked people to go and check the reality. The man lifted the curtain and found two handsome women inside, and immediately returned to tell him.

The man at the head is none other than Tuoba Jiyu. After fighting with Le Yiyang, Guo Rong and others that day, Tuoba Jiyu was worried about the search of Kaifeng Mansion throughout the city, so he left the capital with his warriors that night. A few days later, Le Yiyang rescued Feng Ruoxiang from the execution ground, and Du Chongwei sent a large team of men and horses out of the city to arrest the fugitives. Tuoba Jiyu was terrified in his heart, and before he could argue what was going on, he hurried north and happened to pass by this place.

Tuoba Jiyu stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed: "God has eyes, and I actually met two fairies." Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin were awakened by laughter. Before Zhai Jingyue came back to her senses, Cui Xin had already jumped out of the carriage by her hand, and said in a hurry: "Sister, go away, he is a big bad guy." ”

Zhai Jingyue looked back at Tuoba Jiyu and her men, knowing that things were not good, and followed Cuixin to hide in the grass one after another. Tuoba Jiyu sat on the horse and laughed loudly: "Two fairies, where are you fleeing?" After speaking, he ordered everyone to search carefully.

Cuixin hid behind Zhai Jingyue, her hands couldn't help shaking, Zhai Jingyue was eight or nine years older than Cuixin, although she was used to seeing all kinds of men in the Farewell Building, and now in this wilderness, she didn't feel scared in her heart, and thought: "Why hasn't Jiutong come back?"

Mei Jiutong motioned for the two to stay where they were quietly, and then quietly detoured behind Tuoba Jiyu. Said loudly: "This is the general Tuoba Jiyu?" Tuoba Jiyu was watching intently as his warriors searched in the grass, not noticing anyone behind him, and said in surprise: "How do you know it's me?" Mei Jiutong stepped forward and bowed, and asked: "Catch Mei Jiutong in Xiakaifeng Mansion, and go out of the city to arrest the assassin on the order of Lord Taiwei? I don't know if the general didn't see this person?" After speaking, he took out Du Chongwei's token.

Tuoba Jiyu heard the word "assassin", his heart was already shocked, that day in the broken temple was revealed by Le Yiyang's identity, there was no such person on the spot, so he pretended to be calm and said: "We happened to pass by here, we didn't see the assassin, Master Mei can look elsewhere." ”

Mei Jiutong pointed to the grass and said, "What are these brothers doing?" Tuoba Jiyu saw that he had the token of Taiwei Du, and was worried that the Kaifeng Mansion had chased after him, so he had to go first, and shouted to his subordinates: "Master Mei is tracking down the assassin, let's not hinder him, everyone get on the horse and continue to hurry." ”

Those people had already walked in front of Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin, and they could find them in three or four steps, and when they heard Tuoba Jiyu's call, they had to stop and return.

Mei Jiutong said: "If the general can capture the assassin, Lord Taiwei will definitely be rewarded!" Tuoba Jiyu sneered: "That's natural, go back and thank Taiwei Du for me, I will definitely visit another day." "Then lead the crowd and leave.

When Tuoba Jiyu and the others walked away, Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin poked their heads out. Mei Jiu Channel: "Jingyue, Cuixin, let you be frightened." Zhai Jingyue said: "Jiutong, thanks to your resourcefulness, you led those party members away in time." Mei Jiu Channel: "Tuoba Jiyu is the assassin who entered the palace to assassinate. They were sneaky and didn't know what to do. Cui Xin said: "That day in the broken temple, Tuoba Jiyu couldn't bear to hurt Du Chi Gongzi, presumably because of the feelings of Lord Taiwei, I don't know what other conspiracy they have." Mei Jiu Channel: "They are just going north, and we can accompany them all the way." ”

Although Zhai Jingyue and Cui Xin had lingering feelings about what happened just now, the three of them had agreed to go to Hebei before, so they nodded and agreed, got on the horse and continued to drive north.

It's winter. In winter south of the Yellow River, the countryside is entangled in fog. Through the fog, you can vaguely see the heroic posture of the mountains and the shadows of the trees. Ethereal, ethereal, uncertain. At this time, passers-by are like walking in a fairyland.

By noon, the fog had cleared a lot, and only a layer of mist remained in the empty mountain village. Looking around, the smoke is clearly recognizable. In the evening, the white mist gathered again, mixed with a little cooking smoke. If a stranger passes by in the village, there will be a burst of barking dogs.
