From Jinling to the border, Xie Wei went with her, and the excuse he made was to help Jiang Boyou pick her back to the capital. And the car that got on the side road just now was Xie Wei's car, but Xie Wei himself hid in her car quietly.
In just a split second, Jiang Xuening can judge—
No matter who the person behind the scenes is, they all seem to be aiming at Xie Wei.
It was very quiet in the car.
Half of the horses followed Xie Wei's cart, and Jian Shu, who was driving the cart, didn't even get out of the cart.
Outside was the sound of horseshoes trampling on the official road as usual, as well as the whispered conversations of the accompanying guards, and the crackling of the wheels of the carriage passing through the wild grass, and even Xie Wei, who was very close to her, cautiously The sound of lowered, lighter breathing...
And, my own heartbeat!
Time seems to be stretched out in such an extremely tense silence.
Jiang Xuening couldn't even tell how long it had passed.
I felt numb all over my body, and then I heard Daoqin quietly approaching the carriage from outside, and said in a low voice: "It seems to be led past, and no one is following for the time being."
Xie Wei frowned, but his tense body did not relax.
Jiang Xuening's lips moved to speak.
But just now when the situation was urgent, Xie Wei was afraid that she would scream out in a sudden panic and show her flaws, so when he reached out to cover her, he was very tight, with his palm against her lips. At this moment, she wanted to speak, but when she moved her lips, she pressed against his palm.
It was a soft touch.
Sticking it on the fragile part of the palm adds a bit of moist and ambiguous feeling.
Xie Wei felt his palm go numb slightly as if it had been electrified.
He stared back at her, and slowly withdrew his palm.
Only then Jiang Xuening took a deep breath, and quickly sat up leaning against the wall of the carriage, raised her hand to caress her chest that was heaving due to the violent heartbeat, and said in a low voice urgently: "What's going on?"
Originally, there were two people in the carriage for one person, especially Xie Wei, who was tall and tall, when he was with her, the carriage seemed to be narrow and cramped.
He sat cross-legged in the carriage.
He only replied: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain."
Jiang Xuening almost rolled his eyes at him.
Who doesn't know that this is a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?
But the question is what kind of tiger is a tiger, and where did it come from!
She took a deep breath, sorted out the clues of these days, and suddenly remembered the incident she heard in the Tai'an Mansion Inn, and she had a flash of inspiration: "Tianjiao?"
There were some traces of moistness in the palm, which was a light cherry pink.
In the narrow space, there is a faint sweet fragrance of powder.
Xie Wei's fingers trembled slightly, and his eyelids twitched. He took a brocade handkerchief beside him and slowly wiped it off, but his brows were furrowed tightly, and he said, "It's close."
Subconsciously, Jiang Xuening wanted to ask again, why did Tianjiao chase him down?
But when he raised his eyes, his eyes touched Xie Wei who was nearby, and he felt that his posture with his head lowered had a stagnant depth and danger, so he suddenly remembered his previous life. At that time, the Tianjiao even dared to assassinate the emperor!
What is it to attack Xie Wei, a close minister of the emperor?
It's just too normal.
She sighed and said: "These gangsters are very brave, but in this official way, I guess they don't dare to be too blatant, and the number of them will not be too many. Sir, you don't have to worry about the enemy them."
Jiang Xuening has confidence in Xie Wei.
Xie Wei remained silent.
So, Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things might not be that simple this time.
Sure enough, the two of them hadn't sat in the car quietly for a while, when Daoqin outside suddenly yelled: "Stop."
Everyone hastily reined in their horses.
The carriage also stopped.
There was silence all around.
This official road is far away from Tai'an Mansion, close to a mountain depression, with continuous mountains on the east and west sides, hardly any houses can be seen, and it is so quiet that even the sound of the wind blowing through the woods can be heard clearly.
And looking far away in the direction they came from—
A jackdaw flew up in the woods, faintly, and the sound of horseshoes was approaching!
Daoqin's pupils shrank sharply, and almost immediately drew the long knife tied to the side of the saddle, cursed something in a low voice, and said to the driver in front: "Come on, let's go!"
The coachman slapped his whip on the horse.
The horse raised its four hooves and immediately moved forward, galloping violently.
This is much more bumpy than before.
Jiang Xuening didn't pay attention, and fell forward.
Fortunately, Xie Wei had quick eyes and quick hands, and he was prepared to put a pad on her forehead in time, which prevented her from knocking her head against the window sill and ending up in a disfigured end.
Jiang Xuening didn't care about screaming for pain, covered her head and said, "Could it be that the sword book has revealed its secrets?"
Xie Wei's voice was extremely deep: "It won't be so fast."
Half of the people on the Jianshu side went over, which didn't seem like many, but they were all good players, even if they were found to fight, the people chasing them would not be able to solve them in such a short period of time. And turn around to catch up with them!
Xie Wei lifted the curtain of the car and went out, shouting coldly: "Daoqin, horse!"
Daoqin was startled, but relying on years of experience and tacit understanding following Xie Wei, without saying a word, he slapped himself off the saddle, flew up, let the horse under him out, and landed on the shaft of the carriage.
Xie Wei got on his horse directly.
Then he yelled into the car: "Ning Er come out!"
Jiang Xuening was frightened for a while, and she didn't have time to think about what happened again, so she quickly got out of the car.
Before everyone could stand still, their waists tightened.
There was a blur in front of his eyes, and he felt dizzy, Xie Wei had already picked him up on the horse, sat in front of him, and was embraced by him!
Almost at the same time, the sound of horseshoes behind him became clear.
It was vaguely as if someone was shouting.
Immediately afterwards, there was a "swish, whoosh, whoosh" sound that pierced through the air, and dozens of eagle feathers and arrows came through the air!
"Tuk-tuk!"
Almost immediately the back half of the carriage turned into a hedgehog!
Daoqin cut two arrows with one knife, and was stunned by the shock. She was startled and shocked, and said to Xie Wei: "There is no way there is such a powerful archer in the sect!"
Arrows flew in disorder, making it difficult to see clearly in the night.
Xie Wei's heart suddenly grew hostile.
There was a sound of piercing wind beside his ear, and the tip of his brow was as cold as ice, and in a flash, he just flicked his fingers towards the darkness beside him!
"Snapped!"
The arrow galloping in the darkness was immediately blown away.
Jiang Xuening only felt a coolness passing over her cheeks, and it was the arrow that wiped away against her ear, extremely thrilling!
Before the pursuers appeared, the rain of arrows arrived first!
No need to think about how many people are behind.
Xie Wei held the rein tightly with his fingers, looked towards the deep mountains and dense forests to the west, thought about it quickly, his voice almost froze, and resolutely said: "You guys continue to move forward!"
Daoqin immediately responded: "Yes!"
Jiang Xuening was still in shock, and before she could figure out what Xie Wei meant, she saw him turn the horse's head and lead her galloping towards the deep dense forest!
The heavy tree shadows, in the sky and mountains, are layered in darkness.
The horse was frightened and ran fast.
It didn't seem like they were leading them into the forest, but it seemed like the deep and silent dense forest was rushing towards them. The cold wind on the face drowned Jiang Xuening's words, and she had to shrink between Xie Wei's arms, tightly I closed my eyes.
The sound of close combat soon came from behind.
From time to time, it was mixed with people screaming and shouting.
It's just too chaotic to judge the battle situation.
Xie Wei didn't look back at all.
His calm, almost cold.
The horse ran straight towards the depths of the mountain forest.
Although the arrows of the assassins who attacked just now had arrived, they were still some distance away. In the darkness, it was impossible to tell immediately that they got out of the carriage, and it was also impossible to be sure whether there was a horse missing in the crowd—
This is where the greatest vitality lies!
I don't know how long I ran forward, but the woods in front of me became denser and thicker, and low thorns began to appear on the ground. The mountain was going downhill, and the horse was not easy to go downhill, and gradually refused to move forward.
Xie Wei got off his horse and held out a hand to Jiang Xuening: "Get down."
Jiang Xuening subconsciously put her hand in his palm.
With great strength, he put another hand on her waist and helped her off the horse. After she stood still, she didn't have time to say anything, she just took off the quiver hanging from the saddle and carried it on her back, then took the bow and arrow and yanked the horse's buttocks forcefully.
The horse was in pain, neighed, raised its front hooves, and galloped towards the forest.
All the way, I broke the branches and trampled on the rotten leaves.
Behind him, there are obvious traces.
Xie Wei didn't go that way, but walked down the hillside ahead.
Jiang Xuening was confused: "We escaped, what about Daoqin? There are also sword books!"
Xie Wei didn't turn his head back: "I can't die."
Jiang Xuening's heart trembled, and she followed him with some difficulty. Suddenly, she felt that this miserable situation was indescribably familiar, so she laughed, a little self-deprecating: "I figured it out, just follow Mr. I don’t have a good life. I only went with you three times in total, and it’s unlucky to come back. I was attacked back then, but now I’m assassinated, and my life is tied to the tip of the knife!”
"..."
Xie Wei stopped abruptly.
When Jiang Xuening bumped into him accidentally, she just hit his straight back, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth in pain, and raised her head: "Sir?"
Xie Wei looked back at her, there were only some tiny stars pouring down from the gaps in the branches and leaves in the forest, and fell on his shoulders, his silent figure seemed to blend into the dark forest.
Jiang Xuening was a little nervous: "I'm not..."
Xie Wei turned around silently, only said: "You are right."
Following me did not end well.
