"In short, Xiao Tian's talent is no worse than yours. When he comes, you can pack your things and get out." The empress couldn't stop praising others.
"Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it!"
Zhao An pointed at her delicate little nose angrily.
The empress was also arrogant, so she stiffened her neck and said, "I know, why don't you do it?"
"Just leave!"
Zhao An swung his sleeves bitterly and walked away.
Looking at the retreating figure, the empress bit her lip and muttered: "You bastard, I will beat you to death sooner or later..."
After a long time, a luxurious carriage left the palace, followed by dozens of imperial guards led by Qiao Yan. They were responsible for escorting the female family members of the Chen family to leave the capital with the team.
Several carriages left the Zhao Mansion one after another. Jiuyin sat on the carriage shaft on Zhao An's side. She wanted to accompany them this time.
A motorcade slowly left the capital.
Yun Zhi opened the window and looked at the environment outside, with tears in her eyes.
She has not left the capital for many years, and has even forgotten the prosperity of the outside world.
Hong Luan said bitterly: "My dear, thank you for your hard work."
"After all the hardships, I finally left the high wall of the palace. If I can, I never want to go back."
"As long as you want, I will find a way to keep you outside."
Zhao An had already thought about it, either to let the empress depose her and leave the palace, or to conduct an "assassination" and fake her death.
Yun Zhi pursed her lips and smiled non-stop, feeling surprisingly good.
Zhao An discovered it. Not long after she came out, the smile on her face never stopped. It seemed that she had spent more time smiling than she had spent in the harem all these years combined.
Half a day later, the carriage passed by the former inn and saw the ruins of the walls and some dried blood stains on the ground.
The battle with Chen seems like yesterday, which is very emotional.
At dusk, the carriage arrived at a dilapidated temple. After all, there were so many Imperial Guards and female relatives of the Chen family that it was inconvenient to settle in the town, and it was still far away from the county.
The night bonfire dances with sparks.
The Imperial Guard posted sentries throughout the temple's courtyard to prevent sneak attacks.
Zhao An took Yunzhi and others and a group of female relatives to make some simple barbecue. After they ate, they lay down against the wall.
Yun Zhi also felt sleepy, so Zhao Hongluan took down the prepared bedding and spread it for her next to the bonfire.
The temple is in a very dilapidated state, with the toppled Buddha statues in pieces and covered with spider webs.
A heavy rainstorm suddenly started in the middle of the night. The Imperial Guards hid in a nunnery on one side to take shelter from the rain, leaving the two men on duty in turns.
Jiuyin stirred the bonfire and said softly: "Sir, you can rest. I will be here at night and nothing will happen."
Her face glowed red against the bonfire, less of the iceberg smell and more of the smell of fireworks.
Zhao An said gently: "Yin'er, have you always been with Qingqing and never had contact with a man?"
Jiuyin was stunned for a moment and nodded.
She is a warrior, and even when she comes into contact with men, she greets them with a sword. As for the man she fell in love with, she never appeared.
"Oh? What now?"
Zhao An winked, and Jiuyin immediately turned his white fox face away and murmured coldly: "Still not."
"What a little woman."
Now that Yunzhi and Hongluan were asleep, Zhao An bravely held Jiuyin's hand. The latter was startled and almost subconsciously raised the knife to kill, but Zhao An quickly held down the scabbard with his quick eyes and hands. .
Jiuyin snorted and let her big paws knead her little hands without struggling any more.
Seeing Lie Xin's joy, Zhao An moved closer to her, took a deep breath, and was filled with the fragrance, "Yin'er, it's getting cold, so we can keep warm if we are next to each other."
How could Jiuyin not know that someone wanted to eat tofu? After all, he bit his lip and acquiesced.
Time passes slowly.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the night is getting thicker.
As if he felt that no one would attack him in this kind of weather, Jiuyin gradually relaxed, his head gradually rested on Zhao An's shoulder, and he fell asleep after a while.
Zhao An secretly smiled, carefully placed her on his lap, and then covered her with his cloak.
Jiuyin was quite cute when she was asleep, and it was hard to blame her for being a guard beside Xu Ruqing at such a young age. Looking at the calluses on her palms, you can tell how much she suffered.
Zhao An touched Jiuyin's head tenderly. Suddenly a gust of cold wind hit him. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a black shadow flashing past the door.
Could it be the Imperial Guard?
Zhao An frowned, but didn't think much about it.
At this moment, a black cat suddenly got in through the crack of the broken window. With a hiss, Zhao An was really startled by the ghostly movement, and he suddenly lost all sleep.
The wild cat slithered up the roof beam a few times, curled up, and stared at the people below with its dark eyes.
Zhao An secretly gritted his teeth. How could there be a black cat so late at night? It was really unlucky.
I don’t know where the disgust comes from. It seems that I am instinctively resistant to black cats. It should be the original owner’s emotions.
Zhao An casually hugged the sleeping Jiuyin and leaned against the broken statue, intending to take a nap for a while.
At this moment, the corner of his eye fell on the broken window that the black cat passed through just now. A dark grimace suddenly appeared inside, with a pair of cold eyes.
Zhao An suddenly broke out in a layer of white hair sweat, suspecting that he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and the grimace disappeared.
"Damn, what the hell...am I too sleepy?"
Zhao An frowned and muttered, continuing to lean stiffly on the statue, secretly observing the movements around him.
Squeak!
The sound of wind and rain outside the door became louder and louder, and the door panel made a rustling sound. If you pricked your ears, it sounded like someone's nails were scratching the door panel.
In one breath, half of a grimace slowly appeared in the crack of the door, and his eyes locked gloomily.
"Nima!"
Zhao An's tiger body trembled and he raised his hand to take aim.
Whoops, the arrow in the sleeve is empty!
The shot missed, and the arrowhead was stuck in the door panel.
Jiuyin was suddenly awakened. She subconsciously looked up and saw Zhao Anru facing a formidable enemy. She quickly looked back. At the same time, the door panel was kicked open by someone.
Bang!
A guy dressed in black and wearing a ghost face rushed in stiffly and went straight to a group of Chen family members lying in the corner!
"court death!"
Jiuyin was furious and went into battle. He kicked the torch away, drew out his broken sword and flew to kill him.
The black shadow ignored her attack and was struck by a sword in the body. He only trembled for a moment before continuing to attack the area where the female relatives of the Chen family were. He also pinched the neck of a female family member on the spot. There was a crisp crack and the female family member died tragically immediately!
The other female relatives suddenly woke up and screamed in fear when they saw the terrifying face so close.
The little girl was among them, looking at the grimace in front of her in astonishment, she was completely frightened.
call out!
The arrow broke through the air again and shot straight into the ghost-faced man's shoulder, but the other person didn't know the pain, and his big black hand went straight towards the girl.
Zhao An was stunned.
What kind of monster is this?
