After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 126 Pei Ci's Thoughts

The day before, Sheng Baoling had asked Pei Ci if he was afraid of death, but no one thought that the group would be ambushed the next day.

"There are assassins! Protect your lord!"

In the carriage, Sheng Baoling held the dagger tightly in his hand, his palms were sweating from nervousness, waiting to strike the assassin who broke into the carriage at any moment.

Pei Ci sat on the side, but he was surprisingly calm, his eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was normal, as if the movement outside was just ordinary movement and had nothing to do with life, which was in contrast to Sheng Baoling's reaction.

For some reason, Sheng Baoling, who was originally nervous, saw that Pei Ci was so calm at the moment, and she calmed down involuntarily.

After a long time, the movement outside gradually became quieter, and the sound of blades intersecting could no longer be heard.

Standing beside the carriage, Li Sheng said in a cold but respectful voice, "My lord, a total of 28 assassins have been wiped out."

"There is a town ahead, do you want to stop and rest?"

Only then did Pei Ci slowly open his eyes, "Don't delay, just continue on your way."

It stands to reason that the time is not too tight, and you can rest for a while along the way, but Pei Ci was worried about what would happen to Jian Jia, who was pretending to be Sheng Baoling, in Beijing, so he kept on going to shorten the time.

Even shortening the time a little bit is also useful.

Sheng Baoling could probably guess Pei Ci's thoughts in her heart, but in fact, she had already made complete preparations.

Once the Jianjia in the temple is exposed and the name is endangered, the hidden guards hiding in the dark to protect Jianjia and Qiuyi will show up to save people. This arrangement, she has not told anyone, is to save Jianjia one day And Qiuyi's life.

Since he left the palace by himself and put Jian Jia in a dangerous situation, he naturally had to take responsibility, prepared a way out, and saved her life.

Although she is not a master who can think about everything, but the life of the people below is extremely precious and important to her, even more important than her own life.

The carriage drove again, and the wind gently blew the curtain beside Sheng Baoling. She looked out at the right time, and it was a mess.

Sheng Baoling was stunned for a moment, seeing the scene in front of him, what he thought of was the scene in his dream where Pei Ci was killed, tied to the rack and cut off pieces of flesh.

She bit her lips tightly, and at this moment, a pair of wide, slightly cool hands blocked everything in front of her eyes.

Covering Sheng Baoling's eyes with Pei Ci's hand, his voice was cold but extremely gentle, "Don't look."

He knew that Sheng Baoling was a bit timid, and he didn't want to see blood. In his previous life, he witnessed the little emperor ordering someone to beat a palace servant to death. After that, he had a high fever and fell ill for a few days.

Sheng Baoling blinked, fluttered her eyelashes, and gently scratched Pei Ci's palm, "It's okay."

Subtle itching swept from the palm, numb and numb, and even the limbs and bones were itchy and a little weak.

After a while, he put his hand down stiffly, and when he looked at Sheng Baoling again, he realized that there was no fear in Sheng Baoling's eyes at this time. After witnessing so many corpses and such bloody scenes, he seemed to be a normal person. It seems that this is not the first time I have seen such a scene.

Pei Ci was a little surprised, and Sheng Baoling's eyes were slightly changed and unclear, as if the Sheng Baoling in front of him was not the Sheng Baoling in his impression.

There are so many differences between her and the Sheng Baoling in her impression. Although the difference is not too big, these subtle differences are converging little by little, so that now, one word of hers, one A movement, or even a reaction, can make Pei Ci instantly aware that something is wrong.

"Aren't you afraid?" Pei Ci frowned slightly, and asked in a calm voice.

Sheng Baoling was puzzled, "What?"

Pei Ci didn't ask again, because Sheng Baoling's reaction had already told him enough that he wasn't afraid at all.

There was an ambush, and all kinds of plots followed, and it seemed that there was no rest. The road has been uneven,
Every time Sheng Baoling was ready to fight, he never used the protective dagger and those poison bags. With Li Sheng and others around, the assassin was still unable to get close to the carriage.

The two of them can be said to be well protected.

Sheng Baoling couldn't help sighing, Pei Ci was really crouching tiger, hidden dragon, just one Lisheng was enough to block a dozen people.

Although the other guards around him were not top-notch experts like Li Sheng, they were all extremely skilled.

At this time, Sheng Baoling realized that Pei Ci didn't need his own protection at all.

With so many masters around to protect him, why should it be his turn, a weak woman with no strength to restrain him.

But what happened in that dream? Could it be that in that dream, Li Sheng and others didn't accompany him?
Sheng Baoling was puzzled, judging from Li Sheng's nervous appearance, it was impossible to leave his master alone.

That's too weird.

How could Pei Ci be injured to the point where he was dragged to save him?

With such confusion, Sheng Baoling looked at Pei Ci frequently, wanting to ask something, but those were all dreams of his own, even if he believed it, who would know what didn't happen, so he just asked, How could Pei Ci in front of him know why, and he might even think of himself as a sick person.

But at this time, Pei Ci who was beside Sheng Baoling thought of another thing.

In his previous life, when he left Beijing, there was some misunderstanding between the two of them, and Sheng Baoling chased after him.

That time, he was injured, but he left a mark secretly, let Lisheng and others follow in the dark, and lived with Sheng Baoling in the small village. If it wasn't for the end, Sheng Baoling was worried, and he even wanted to live like that in that small village go down.

Cut off from the outside world, and no longer pay attention to the troubles of Bianjing, the common people in this world have nothing to do with them.

But obviously impossible.

After nearly half a month, he was finally found by Sheng Baoling's people.

Those ten or so days in the small village were the most memorable, most regrettable and beautiful days in his previous life.

Pei Ci lifted the curtain slightly with his fingertips, and looked outside. On the way back, he would pass through the dangerous road at that time. Although it was not at that time, but the same road, the same situation, if it happened again...

Pei Ci pursed his thin lips slightly, he already had a plan in mind.

He slowly closed his eyes, seeming to be resting, but he kept suggesting to himself.

I have experienced it in my previous life, this time, it is not too much to repeat the same mistakes...

As long as the arrangements are made properly, Sheng Baoling won't doubt it, as long as he goes to that village again and heals his injuries there, he will naturally be taken care of by her.

As Pei Ci thought about it, he was actually a little guilty, but he couldn't bear the temptation, and his heart kept swaying from side to side.

Even if he is greedy, he wants to live a few more days like that.

Only him and the little girl from the Sheng Mansion back then.

And there is no left minister and empress dowager.
