Wealth and glory seek stability

Dongfang Wenying was surprised that the maid beside Jian Xi was not afraid in the face of danger. In contrast, Shuqin and Shuqi beside her were hugging each other and crying, no longer caring about others.

These two maids remained calm in the face of danger and were able to actually think of a solution.

Zi Cui refused loudly. "No! Mr. Gao and Miss are getting married soon. If he knew about this, there's no guarantee that there wouldn't be a rift between them in the future."

Xiao Shuang was not sure, but she still wanted to fight for it. She looked at Dongfang Wenying and said, "Madam, we don't know whether the girl is alive or dead. As long as we can find the girl, if Mr. Gao doesn't want to marry her, the girl won't marry."

In her eyes, nothing is more important than Jian Xi's safety.

Hearing this, Dongfang Wenying raised her eyebrows, her heart moved slightly, and she quickly thought about it in her mind, and then she made up her mind, "Let's do as Xiaoshuang said, tell everyone who is accompanying us to shut up, we will go down the mountain immediately, and I will go to Gao's house to explain the reason. Xiaoshuang, you are about the same height as Xier, put on this veil and pretend to be Xier."

After saying that, his eyes turned fierce, "People in this room, it's best not to let anyone know. If I find out, you and your family will die."

"Yes."

Madam Hong came back from the outer room and walked in front of Dongfang Wenying. "Madam, it has been done. We asked Ah Qing to go and tell the general. He is the general's long-term servant, and his whole family has sold themselves to the mansion. They are all trustworthy people."

Dongfang Wenying nodded, "Thank you, Mother Hong, for your thoughtful consideration. We will go to the Gao family immediately." After that, she put her veil on Xiaoshuang with her own hands. Seeing that Xiaoshuang was too plain, she put the ruby ​​ring on her hand on Xiaoshuang's hand.

He forced a smile on his face, took Xiaoshuang's hand and walked out the door.

Jian Xi finally cut the rope and saw the scenery outside. It seemed that she was about to leave the capital.

Xishan is outside Beijing, but the lake behind the Jade Buddha Temple leads directly to the city. The shaking feeling just now should have been on the boat.

She was not familiar with the terrain in the suburbs of Beijing. After lifting the curtain next to the carriage, Jane Xi tried to think about the feasibility of jumping out.

The carriage window was the width of two palms. After thinking about it carefully, Jian Xi gave up the idea and scratched the window frame with a dagger. The wood on it was ordinary wood, and she could still scrape off the sawdust. Jian Xi was overjoyed and continued to scratch it repeatedly. It was inevitable that the carriage would bump into things when moving, and these sounds were hidden.

She just hoped that this person could walk slower. As long as she could knock down one of the window frames, she could try to create chaos when leaving the city and attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city.

The city defense camp is in charge of Shen Nanxing. With this relationship, that group of people will not stand by and watch someone die.

It was not known which city gate this man wanted to leave from. After walking for an hour and still not reaching the destination, Jian Xi had nothing to do, so she carved the word "Cen" on the broken piece of wood.

She swore that if she could escape this time, she would fight Zhang Cen'er to the death.

Jian Xi asked herself, she had never offended anyone, but she had to suffer such a misfortune. Zhang Cen'er was really hateful.

Perhaps Yin Jiu was too confident in his abilities and the effectiveness of the drugs, and he didn't even think about checking the situation inside the car.

Before leaving, Shangguan Tang gave Jian Xi an antidote pill, saying that it could cure all poisons after taking it. She pretended not to believe it at the time, but still took it. It seems that it had some effect.

Jian Xi was unconscious for only a quarter of an hour before she slowly woke up. If she hadn't thought that she wouldn't be able to defeat the man and woman when she woke up, she would never have done that.

Hua Rong taught her how to pretend to faint. The breathing rate of a fainted person is different from that of a sober person. This is why Jian Xi was able to deceive both Yin Ping and Yin Jiu.

Thinking of this, Jian Xi was extremely grateful that she did not think these things were difficult and gave up learning them. At the critical moment, they actually saved her life.

The entrance outside the window was large enough for a petite person to pass through.

Jian Xi silently adjusted her sitting position and carefully thought about how to deal with the situation next.

She continued to piece the dug out pieces of wood onto the side of the carriage, fearing that passers-by would see it and alarm the driver in front.

When they reached the official road, Jian Xi saw a row of soldiers guarding the city outside, and they must have reached the city gate.

She made a prompt decision, gathered all her strength, and jumped out of the carriage. She was wearing the fashionable silk folded branch skirt that Dongfang Wenying had made for her. She was used to wearing pants underneath the skirt, so she did not expose herself.

This change alarmed the soldiers guarding the city, and Jian Xi jumped out along with the wood chips from the window frame.

As soon as she got off the car, she seized the opportunity and found the person who seemed to have the highest status among the team of officers and soldiers. She was smiling like a flower. The man had never seen such a beautiful and graceful woman before, and he was stunned for a moment.

Jian Xi was very fast. Before Yin Jiu could react, she revealed the short peach wood blade hidden in her sleeve. She silently said sorry in her heart and stabbed the leader's shoulder with the short blade without hesitation.

Liu Wu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder before he reacted.

The surrounding soldiers reacted immediately, picked up their weapons and surrounded the carriage.

Yin Jiu didn't expect Jian Xi to wake up so quickly. In full view of everyone, he glanced in the direction outside the city and clenched his fists.

He drew the dagger from his waist and rushed towards the nearest person.

When Liu Wu saw that the two men had come with ill intentions, he immediately sent someone to the city gate tower to beat the drum and call for help.

Yin Jiu didn't want to fight and just wanted to take Jian Xi out of the city quickly. Today was the day of the big market. There were the most people at the East City Gate in the afternoon. Yin Jiu calculated this and chose this time because he thought no one would question him. There was a surge of people and Jian Xi was small in stature, so he used his footwork to hide in the crowd.

Liu Wu pulled at the wound on his shoulder, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Come here, tie up that woman for me! Damn it, this is the first time I've been injured by a woman and bled."

"Yes!"

Yin Jiu fought against seven people alone, and Jian Xi was assigned two people.

Jian Xi has solid basic skills and she used her body skills to dodge, so for a while the two men couldn't do anything to her.

The onlookers fled in all directions.

There was a rapid sound of drums coming from the city wall.

Yin Jiu glared at Jian Xi fiercely and kicked over the two people surrounding him.

Using his Qinggong skills, he flew to Jian Xi's side like a ghost.

Jian Xi's pupils trembled slightly. Is this flying? ?

Yin Jiu waved his soft sword and immediately dealt with the two soldiers who had been fighting with Jian Xi for a long time.

Pull up Jian Xi's body.

Take a deep breath and prepare to leave the city gate.

Keng!

The sound of breaking air was heard.

An arrow came flying at high speed.

Jian Xi watched helplessly as the iron arrow pierced through Yin Jiu's body and exited from his chest, the arrowhead covered in blood.

moment.

The gushing blood splashed onto her cheeks, forming gorgeous blood flowers.

Still warm.

Jian Xi turned her head and saw Gao Yunhuai riding a horse, wearing a snow-white brocade robe, holding a large ink-black bow in his hand, still in the posture of shooting arrows.
