Just as Xiao Yao said, the city gate was closed and the carriage stopped. Soon, a soldier came up to ask. Xiao Yao signaled to Shen Zui, who consciously hid behind him. Xiao Yao then opened the door of the carriage and faced the soldiers.

He said calmly: "It's me."

"Meet His Highness King Yu!"

The soldiers saluted, and immediately, the heavy city gate was opened, and Xiao Yao and his party marched straight in.

Shen Zui was confused and asked, "Why do you want to close the city gate suddenly?"

She was not stopped when she left the city.

Xiao Yao looked at her, "I'm not the only one guarding the city, there's also Changsun Changfeng. It seems that he recognized you and is eager to take advantage of you."

Intoxicated and heavy-minded.

In fact, she had vaguely expected that if she was captured, Emperor Wen's next target would be her. Just waiting for her to make a mistake, she would have a legitimate excuse. Leaving the city rashly would be a bad idea. But the person in danger at this moment is her mother.

, she had to chase it herself.

Shen Zui nodded, "Thank you."

Xiao Yao just looked at her and said nothing.

The two were silent. Shen Zui looked outside. This was the direction back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was about to let Xiao Yao put her down halfway to avoid letting the people in Huaimo see her and feel unhappy. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard

The horse neighed loudly, and then the carriage jolted uncontrollably.

Shen Zui's body was unstable and she fell directly from her seat. Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, she screamed and tightly protected her belly. Xiao Yao took her in the confusion and held her tightly in his arms.

, involuntarily, his voice was so soft it could drip water, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Shenzui was still in shock, and then heard the sound of fierce swords coming from outside the carriage, followed by overwhelming screams, "Assassin, assassin!"

Indulge yourself, assassin?

He and Xiao Yao looked at each other, and Xiao Yao frowned heavily, slightly lifted the car curtain with one hand, and quickly looked out.

The situation is not good.

This is a busy city. If they show up, several pairs of eyes will see Shenzui getting off Xiao Yao's carriage. By then, Shenzui's reputation will be ruined, and Emperor Wen will have more reason to get rid of her.

This was planned.

Shen Zui also thought of it, and in an instant, his eyes were frightened and his lips turned slightly white.

"Don't go out." Xiao Yao reassured him calmly.

However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a sharp sword energy coming from the top of the carriage. His whole body shivered, and he hugged Shen Zui tightly without hesitation, and at the same time whispered in Shen Zui's ear, "Hold him

Me, don’t raise your head!”

After saying this, Xiao Yao shook the carriage open with one hand and flew away. Almost at the same time, the carriage was split in half by a sharp sword energy, and a horse in front of the carriage was also taken with it.

The sword light is cold and cold.

Forced by the situation, Shen Zui didn't care about the difference between men and women. She hugged Xiao Yao tightly and buried her head on his chest. The most important thing was that no one could see her face.

Xiao Yao held her tightly with one hand to prevent her from being harmed at all, and at the same time he was looking for killers. He was furious at the moment, and he would kill anyone who came to stop him, leaving no one alive.

In this way, he left in a matter of seconds, drunk and with his feet clean of dust.

Behind him, the fighting in the downtown area continued, with Xiao Yao's men and assassins. However, Xiao Yao and Shen Zui's figures had disappeared.

Xiao Yao and Shen Zui jumped up and left from the backyards of several houses. In the blink of an eye, they got rid of the people chasing behind them. It was not until they reached a secluded alley that no one was around. Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

, relax for a while.

Shen Zui immediately broke away and took a few steps back. Seeing her avoiding her, deep pain flashed through Xiao Yao's eyes.

"It's okay." His voice was bitter.

"Thank you." Shen Zui lowered his eyes and said, "And... I'm sorry for making you go against Changsun Changfeng and putting you in a difficult situation."

She didn't look at him, so she didn't see the ridicule and bitterness in Xiao Yao's eyes at this moment.

In the end, he just said lightly, "It doesn't matter. It's enough for me to send you here. You can go back by yourself."

If you don't want to have any more entanglements with me, then I can be indifferent to you. You can be as indifferent as you want me to be.

Shenzui nodded and finally looked up at him, "Take care."

With just two words, the intoxication passed him by and left.

Xiao Yao stood there, clenching his fists under his sleeves. After so long, what he couldn't stand the most was still every time he was separated from her, even though they were not even together.

Behind him, there was sudden movement.

Xiao Yao winced, turned around subconsciously, took a few steps forward, pulled Shen Zui back, and protected him safely behind him.

"Who?"
