When a waiter came up, Xue Hongxiu casually ordered a meat, a vegetarian, and a soup.

The woman in red and those people seem to have been running around all year round to make a living, and they are also very talkative. They asked while eating: "My name is Peng Xizhen, and I am from Weizhou. I usually follow these people from the same village from east to west. Some small business. I don’t know the girl’s last name, where is this going?”

Yun Jiu'an took a sip of the tea brought by the waiter, and laughed before saying anything, "My surname is Yun, from the capital. Last year, my family made a marriage appointment for me, but unfortunately, my fiancé went there before he could marry me." Xiguan. Seeing that the wedding date has come, he said that he couldn’t get away in Xiguan, so the family had to send me all the way to Xiguan to get married.”

The long-faced young man who gave way said: "Oh, Xiguan has not been peaceful for the past six months. Girl, you should pay attention to safety along the way."

While they were talking, many people were sneaking glances at them.Hearing that the girl in front of her is still a bride-to-be, each of them looked even more surprised.A young lady from the capital, in order to get married, dare to go to the barren land of Xiguan?With such a beauty, she is not afraid of being robbed by bandits on the road?
Could it be that all the boxes in her motorcade were filled with expensive dowries?
Peng Xizhen was also surprised, and told her that the further west she went, the more uneven the road would be. I heard that after Pinglu fought with the people from West Chu, those people from West Chu hid somewhere, and many of them passed by. The precedent of the merchant being killed reminded her to be more careful.

Yun Jiu'an thanked them for their reminder.

After dinner, as the rain was getting heavier, Xue Hongxiu asked the shopkeeper if there was any room left, and the shopkeeper said that there was only one Datong shop.

Xue Hongxiu looked embarrassed, and at this time that Peng Xizhen said: "If you two feel inconvenient tonight, if you don't mind, you can share a room with me."

Yun Jiuan would not dare to dislike having a place to rest, so he agreed immediately.

Peng Xizhen's room was next to the corridor, and there was only one bed in the room.Peng Xizhen asked Yun Jiuan to sleep on the bed, and she made the floor, so Yun Jiuan would not overwhelm the host.After some humility, Xue Hongxiu spread the quilt on the couch, and the two could barely sleep.

The night was as cold as water. After a heavy rainstorm, the rain outside was still pattering, and it seemed that it would not stop all night.

After blowing out the lights, Yun Jiu'an and Xue Hongxiu and their clothes were lying on the couch, breathing evenly, as if they had fallen asleep soundly because of the hard work during the day.

After the third watch drum, the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from outside the inn, followed by the sound of scolding and roaring.

Xue Hongxiu suddenly opened his eyes, lifted the quilt and ran to the window to set it up, just in time to see that there were many people fighting desperately at the place where the carriage was parked before.Called hurriedly: "Miss Yun, get up quickly, someone may want to rob your dowry!"

Yun Jiu'an opened her eyes sleepily, and softly said: "Song Mu and the others are watching over it? It's late at night, and I'm so tired. Sister Hongxiu should go and have a look."

Peng Xizhen was also awakened. She put on her clothes and jumped out of bed. She stretched her neck and looked out the window. "I said it was not a safe journey. I didn't expect the robbers to come at night."

Xue Hongxiu looked anxiously at the situation outside, "There are a lot of people coming, Song Mu and the others may not be able to resist..."

Yun Jiuan yawned, "Sister Peng is here, I'm fine here, you go and help them, don't let anyone really take away the dowry..."

After speaking, she fell back to sleep.

Peng Xizhen also nodded, "I've traveled far and wide, and I still have some fists and kicks. Miss Hongxiu just go there, I will definitely not let anyone come and bully Miss Yun."

Xue Hongxiu stamped her feet, "Then there will be Sister Lau Peng."

After speaking, her figure immediately disappeared from the window.

Many people in the inn were woken up, but these old Jianghu dared not mind these nosy matters, and all of them closed the doors and windows more and more tightly, for fear of being implicated.He just listened to the movement outside with his ears open.

Seeing that Hongxiu, who was quite skilled, had left, Peng Xizhen's eyes flashed coldly, and she took advantage of the opportunity to close the window.Looking back, seeing Yun Jiu'an closed her eyes and fell asleep again, she sneered, and her superiors repeatedly explained that this Yun Wu girl was cunning and difficult to deal with, in her opinion, she was just a young lady who was ignorant of the world and only wanted to be happy !

She turned her palm over, and a sharp knife was already in her hand, and she lifted the knife and stabbed it into Yun Jiu'an's neck.

The shot is fast, ruthless and accurate.

Unexpectedly, she was clearly aiming at the neck, but in the next moment, she was rolled aside with the quilt.A handful of powder was poured down at the same time.Before she could react, there was a sharp pain in her chest, and she fell down as if her bones had been pulled out.

When she shook off the powder sticking to her eyes with tears streaming down her face, when she opened her eyes, she saw that the delicate, innocent and harmless little girl was already holding a dagger in her hand, and she was smiling like a little fox who had succeeded in a trick. her fragile neck.

"Does sister Peng think I'm easy to bully, so she wants to pretend to be a kind person and kill me?"

Peng Xizhen's black and yellow face immediately calmed down except for the momentary shock, and sneered from her nostrils, "What a delicate Yun girl, I underestimated the enemy today, since it fell into your hands, I will kill or cut you as you please. "

Yun Jiu'an reached for the dagger in his hand and smiled, "It's so boring to kill you. I just want to know who sent you to kill me!"

Peng Xizhen closed her eyes, acting like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Okay, if you don't say it, I'll say it."

Yun Jiu'an played with taste: "You guys must have known who I am when you started to attack me. I am a poor little concubine, and naturally I can't have any dowry. Your people are interested in the cages in the carriage since they came up. It seems that I have already guessed what is in my box.

Now that the Xiguan army is suffering from an epidemic, if you want to say that the one who least wants me to transport things to Xiguan and hopes that Daqing will be destroyed is naturally Xichu.But you will kill me as soon as you come up, I have to deny this guess. "

While she was talking, she observed her expression. There was a lot of noise outside, but she kept calm and said slowly: "Could it be the fourth prince's person? But the fourth prince still expects me to make money for him. This may also be eliminated. The fifth prince? It's impossible, unless he doesn't want to die. You said you came from Weizhou, could it be..."

She purposely prolonged her voice and didn't continue for a long time, until Peng Xizhen couldn't help opening her eyes, then she suddenly smiled and said: "That must be Rouran's spy, who wants to disturb the west of Daqing, so that he can take the opportunity to attack Daqing from the northeast."

Peng Xizhen looked disdainful and contemptuous.

This look of hers made Yun Jiuan's heart tighten, because she had already confirmed the answer in her mind from her expression.

Her eyebrows turned cold immediately, and the dagger had already slashed across the opponent's artery. When the blood gushed out, Peng Xizhen's eyes showed disbelief—she didn't understand until she died, and the opponent hadn't asked her yet. The answer, why did she suddenly kill her?
