Chapter 17
The mountain gradually became silent. Shen Xiyao held his breath and crouched behind the bushes. With the sporadic light from the fire, the men in front of him had fallen asleep on their sides and snored softly. Shen Xiyao moved his body slightly, worried in his heart that if the horse came back, Fear of being exposed.If he could leave this place, with the ambergris sachet on his body, he could lead the horse back.It's just that when he moved, his feet hurt and he almost fell down. However, although Shen Xiyao was six years old, he was not pampered, and he rode and shot a lot in his daily life.Although it hurts at this time, I still try my best to hold back, knowing that it is extremely important to leave.He moved slowly, trying not to make any noise, and his footing was extremely light.Keeping his eyes on the group of people, those big guys were sleeping soundly, and the sound of snoring came one after another, but Shen Xiyao didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

Walking to the edge of the bush, a brittle wooden branch "clicked" under his feet, which made Shen Xiyao tense up, and one of the sleeping group sat up with a "squeak", as if he had been woken up.

When he was about to reach the edge of the bush, there was a slight crisp sound, and Shen Xiyao stepped on a broken branch. He was startled, and looked at the people not far away. One of them turned over and grunted, Sitting up with his back facing Shen Xiyao.Shen Xiyao hurriedly squatted down, her heart beating suddenly.The man stood up crookedly and walked towards this side.

Shen Xiyao held his breath and tried his best to hide in the bushes. Fortunately, he was wearing a dark blue robe, which was the best cover in the dark night.The man walked sideways, with sleepy eyes, muttering something inaudible as if he was still in a dream.He stopped at a place not far from Shen Xi.

Shen Xiyao seldom looked at others from a low position, he only felt that the person in front of him was extremely tall, covering most of his vision, but he was suspicious of this person's motives.He didn't seem to find himself, and his eyes were completely blurred from sleep.The man stood not far from Shen Xiyao, and groped to untie the waist of his trousers. Shen Xiyao immediately understood and frowned.Fortunately, there was a distance, so Shen Xiyao only had to hold his breath, hoping that the man would go back to sleep early so that he could escape.A faint fragrance drifted away with the breeze, Shen Xiyao lowered his head, the sachet hanging in his inner robe fell to the ground at some point, and because of the moisture in the air, the fragrance became deeper and deeper.

There was a small "crack" sound from a distance, Shen Xiyao's heart tightened, and the distinct sound of a horse's hoof stepped on his heart, the man straightened up, looked back at the way he came, whistled lightly, A group of people resting there also got up.

A good horse that was all black without a mottled color came out of the night, its eyes were as bright as gemstones, its exquisite ears turned, and its steps were calm.The horse recognized the scent and the owner, and walked straight towards Shen Xiyao.It was only because of the black fur that those people couldn't recognize it for a while.The man in front also smelled the fragrance, and said to himself, "What's the smell, it smells strange." When he looked up again, he saw the horse, and exclaimed, "What a horse." The leading man has already stepped forward, and the others are also follow step by step. "This is a hard-earned horse. It is worth ten thousand gold. Catch it with me quickly. I never expected to have such luck." The leading man shouted loudly. .

Shen Xiyao knew that if he couldn't get up and drive the horse away at this time, he would be found out if the horse was not protected.It's not that he's worried that he's not as good as others in terms of martial arts, and he's naturally not a problem in this regard.It's just that there are too many people in front of him, he is afraid of being outnumbered, and he is injured, which will inevitably affect him. The most important thing is that he is afraid of the safety of the lady, so he can go to Dongdu Town to rescue him as soon as possible.

Just when the horse approached him, and he could reach out to grab the rein, Shen Xiyao stood up "Huo", and those people were also close to the horse. His sudden appearance frightened them, and they all subconsciously stopped in fear and confusion. Stopped.At this moment, regardless of the pain in his feet, Shen Xiyao jumped on the horse and wanted to turn around and run away.But the man in the lead reacted, grabbed the chewing head, and stared at Shen Xiyao.From the corner of Shen Xiyao's eyes, other people followed very closely, and they took out their weapons one after another, a cold light flashed before Shen Xiyao's eyes.If you don't leave, you may never be able to leave.Fortunately, being on horseback, the injury on the foot will not affect him.He pulled out the sword on his waist, and saw a flash of silver light in the night, which was fleeting, like a biting wind, and he heard a "dong", and the man lay down on the ground with his eyes wide open. , an expression of disbelief.

The horse wanted to leave before but couldn't, but it was a BMW after all. It was extremely spiritual and knew that its owner was in danger. At this moment, it suddenly lost its grip. With a neighing sound, its front hooves leaped high, and then it spread its hooves and ran away. .

The men behind did not catch up, and saw that their companions were seriously injured and fell to the ground. Several of them wanted to chase after them on horseback, but they were stopped by the leader.Several people were puzzled and indignant, the leader looked at the direction in which Shen Xiyao was leaving, and said solemnly: "This person should not be underestimated, the sword is made of black iron, it is extremely sharp, not to mention the horse, although I didn't see it clearly , but he must not be a simple person, he must have heard what we said just now, we should hurry on our way as soon as possible to get things done, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Shen Xiyao hurried on, looking back from time to time, seeing that those people hadn't chased after him, he let go of most of his hanging heart.Looking back, Ma'er actually found a way out in the dark night. The front gradually opened up, and there were faint lights flickering in the night. It must be going out of the mountain. Those lights should be people in Yuqiu Town.

Ling Xuewei got up very early this day, and she woke up just as the sky was bright.The doctor's prescription worked. She had a good health and recuperated for a few days, and she seemed to be in good spirits.Xia'er was resting in the next room, and she hadn't gotten up yet, so she washed her face by herself, and found a homely robe with willow blue and dark patterns of leaves, tied it with a moon white embroidered red and pink peony short jacket, and tied a simple Liuyun bun, slanted A white jade plum flower hairpin is indescribably beautiful and gentle.This inn is a "Hui"-shaped guest room. I opened the door and looked at a clump of phoenix bamboo in the courtyard. I was holding a square of purple in my hand. Under the cold and blue sky, I stood quietly and looked up at a thin sheet of makeup powder. Shen Xiyao, who was standing in the opposite guest room, was stunned by the slightly flushed face in the cool breeze in the morning.

Standing in the guest room, Shen Xiyao silently stared at the beautiful woman opposite, and gradually felt a kind of peace that he had never felt before.That clear and beautiful figure is like the early sun hanging in the sky at this moment, infinitely graceful but soft and charming.She stood there quietly, her eyes seemed to be attracted by the phoenix bamboo in the courtyard, without blinking, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if recalling some touching memories, that peaceful appearance seemed within reach.As the breeze blew, a soft purple swayed from her hand, shaking slightly.Shen Xiyao was startled, it was clearly the tassel attached to the purple pendant, and it was different because of the few strands of red gold thread mixed in it.What she held in her hand was probably the jade pendant that she quietly left in front of the door of her wing that night.Thinking of this, my heart started beating, even with a little bit of fear and excitement.The sky is as clear as blue, I hope time will stop here, even if I just wait and see silently, I am willing to spend my whole life.

Ling Xuewei didn't notice those eyes, and the jade pendant in her hand felt warm to the touch.She smiled slightly, although her eyes were fixed on the phoenix bamboo, her mind had already drifted to the layers of bamboo forest in that beautiful night.She firmly believed that the jade pendant in her hand was left by him. When she opened the door that morning, the purple color surrounded by soft cherry blossoms made her heart sink.Put it away carefully and turn it into the most cherished treasure.Even if you die for it, you are willing to do so.After all, Ling Xuewei thought, that figure might be hard to see again.

"Miss." Xia'er saw Ling Xuewei when she walked out of the room, and couldn't help calling: "Miss woke up very early today."

Ling Xuewei turned her head and smiled slightly, but did not speak.

"This is the jade pendant. Miss, why do you cherish it so much?" Xia'er's eyes fell on the jade pendant, and she pouted.She knew best why Ling Xuewei was injured, but she didn't understand why.It's just that when I saw this jade pendant, I lost my good mood.

Ling Xuewei turned her head to look at her, and said lightly: "There is no reason, you are still young, so you don't understand."

"Xia'er doesn't understand. It's just that I can't figure it out. There are so many rare and rare treasures in the family that the lady has never cared about. Just such a jade pendant of unknown origin, the lady regards it as the lifeblood. If it is not for picking it, you How could you be injured on the boat." He reached out his hand to snatch it: "If you want me to say, I should hold you that day and let it fall into the river."

Ling Xuewei turned around lightly, but she was already protecting the jade pendant on her chest, and looked at Xia'er slightly angrily: "If it really fell into the river, I would jump in too."

"Yes, yes." Xia'er laughed: "If you let the master know the reason for your injury, I think you will throw it away."

"I won't let daddy know." Ling Xuewei said, then turned and walked into the room.

Xia'er's voice came from a distance: "The doctor will come over again today, if you feel unwell, you must tell me."

Shen Xiyao stood in the room in a daze.The wind passed all those words into his ears.

It turned out to be like this...

A kind of slightly sour mixed with sweetness and bitterness welled up in his heart, Shen Xiyao took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the bed with one step at a time.

"Brother, that person must have known our purpose last night, is there something wrong?"

It was the group of people that Shen Xiyao met the night before who spoke.

"No. Firstly, that person was there before us, so it should be a chance encounter, and he didn't follow us on purpose. Secondly, he must not know who our target is. You should find that woman quickly while the sky is still early. We will start tonight, and later You can get paid every day.”

"This Yuqiu Town is not big. There are only a few inns in total. You should go and inquire separately. We will meet there in an hour. Let's go." The leading man gave the order, and pointed his hand at the Fulai Inn.

The few shadows quickly dissipated, the town's sky brightened, and gradually there were voices.
