When I heard this sound, I felt like something was hit hard in my chest. Even Wenhu and the others were shocked, staring at the intersection where the sound came.
And around, the lush woodland suddenly became quiet.
The Shadow Guard has also been targeted.
I couldn't help but gasp.
I still underestimated the other party.
I thought that the previous confrontation had already defeated them and entered Shaanxi, and with the protection of Wenhu's imperial guards and shadow guards, I could basically rest assured, but I didn't expect that what the other party thought and did was much deeper than what I thought and did.
They have been waiting until now.
I still kept lifting the curtain with one hand, but I could no longer control the throbbing in my heart. I grabbed a corner of the curtain and looked at the place where we came from behind. The voice chuckled again and said, "Miss Yan, don't look anymore. The people from Xi'an Mansion are already unable to take care of themselves."
“…”
Wen Hu and his friends' breathing became heavier and heavier. Even the horses they were riding could feel the depressing atmosphere at this moment. Several horses kept stomping on the ground, raising dust, and sniffing uneasy.
I thought about it, then smiled and said softly: "I didn't expect that Lord Nangong was so patient and was waiting for me here."
With a sound of horse hooves that could be called leisure, a group of people slowly turned over from the other side of the intersection, and I could see the familiar figure at a glance, which was particularly eye-catching in the twilight.
Nangong Jinhong.
The former Minister of War who had escaped from the capital, I knew he had many places to go to and who was the master messenger behind him, but I never thought that he would actually come to Shaanxi and wait for me in this place.
I don’t know if it was because of such a change in the capital before, and the displaced these days, his appearance has become a little older than the graceful Lord Shangshu in the past. Although he was still dressed neatly and his hair was meticulously combed, he could just feel a little embarrassed from him.
Even now, he is looking at me with confidence.
Hearing my voice, he smiled and said, "Mr. Nangong...? I thought that from now on, no one would call me that anymore."
I said, "People should not forget where they come from."
His eyes flashed for a moment, and after a long time, he looked at me, with a little deeper look in his eyes: "You are such a very interesting person. I used to find it strange, but now, I understand a little."
"What's strange?"
"He, then I want to get you."
“…”
My breathing was suffocated. Although he did not name it, I also knew who the "he" he mentioned was referring to.
I was silent for a moment and said, "I used to find it strange, but now I understand it."
"What are you wondering about?"
"Strange, why did Lord Nangong, who was in a high position and his daughter was still favored by the emperor in the harem, secretly help the people in Jiangnan," he heard this, and I continued, "Although I received your help when I left the capital at that time, and on the official road, I also rely on the Ministry of War to escape the search, I have never dared to think about this. I even convinced myself that those are coincidences made by you without intention."
Nangong Jinhong said lightly: "You know now, it's not too late."
“…”
I looked at him again, and around him, I didn't know any of his own people who were naturally taken away from the capital, but there was no familiar face I expected. I frowned and asked, "Where is Miss Nangong?"
“…”
"Aren't she taken away by you? Where is she?"
"You still care about her?"
“…”
Seeing that I was blocked, Nangong Jinhong frowned slightly, and then said, "She can't withstand such bumps. After leaving Beijing, I have asked someone to send her south to Jiangnan."
“…”
Sure enough, after leaving the capital, she had to go to Jiangnan.
Although she probably hasn't arrived in time, there was a vague scene in my heart. She arrived in Jiangnan and Pei Yuanxiu.
Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong, these two women once thoughtfully to touch me with Jinling Mansion. How will they treat her now?
When I thought of Nangong Lizhu, my thoughts became a little confused, but at this time I knew I couldn’t think too much, so I tried my best to pull my mind back. I raised my head and looked at Nangong Jinhong and said calmly: “What do you want now? Grab me, send me over and to Jiangnan?”
Nangong Jinhong said: "If you are willing to go, that is of course the best."
"What if I refuse?"
"Then, I can't let you go to Xichuan."
As he said this, he had already let go of a hand holding the reins and slowly lifted it up. The people behind him immediately entered the state of preparation for war. Wen Hu and the others were even lifting their strength at this moment, and the swords in their hands were shining coldly, aiming at the person in front of him.
Nangong Jinhong looked at us and suddenly waved his hand: "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person behind him rushed up suddenly.
Wenhu was not showing any weakness, and rushed up with his subordinates roaring.
Under the twilight, this quiet mountain forest immediately became a place of killing. I didn't expect that the scenes that had appeared before would repeat themselves in front of me again, and another sword light and sabers, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
But this time, our disadvantages are even more obvious.
Nangong Jinhong obviously has already discovered all our strength. Before this, people have already restrained those shadow guards. No matter how powerful they are at this moment, they have not received the help of those shadow guards. Moreover, their number is several times higher than that of us. Even if Wenhu's people are fierce and good at fighting, they cannot beat four hands with two fists.
I watched the people on both sides fight on the road, and Nangong Jinhong had already turned over and dismounted, crossed the battle circle, and walked towards our carriage step by step.
There was someone next to him who wanted to come forward to stop him, but as soon as he rushed over, he suddenly raised his hand, and the cold light in his hand penetrated into the man's throat. Suddenly, a blood mist was sprayed out, and he walked out of the blood mist without changing his face and walked to the front of the carriage.
As soon as I raised my hand and pushed the car door open, I was completely exposed to his eyes.
However, his cold eyes stared at me, flashed slightly, and from the corner of his eyes he also saw Susu in the corner and Zhao Shuyuan trembling behind Susu.
