Chapter 37: Passers-by in the Ancient World 11

"If Jiang Mingzhi and Lin Jing don't stop, something bad will happen to the Jiang Mansion sooner or later."

"I know you have a kind heart, Xiaoxia. Before I left, I left a letter for Jiang Mingzhi. If he stops after reading it, that's fine. But if he insists on doing it, no one can save him."

Ke Xiaoxia covered her face directly.

Are what she asked and what Jiang Sheng said the same thing?

So nothing happened in the Jiang Mansion, and it was Jiang Sheng himself who discovered something was wrong and wanted to run away?

And ran away with her?

Ke Xiaoxia really didn't know what expression to make.

"Have you ever thought that the way we are now is the most unsafe?"

"Did you decide to take me away on your own, or did someone instigate you?"

Ke Xiaoxia really doubted Jiang Sheng's IQ.

Regardless of whether the Jiang Mansion was targeted or not, when they were in the Jiang Mansion, they were always surrounded by their own people and would not be killed for no reason, unless the emperor issued an order to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan.

Now that I am outside, I am free, but the uncontrollable risks are also higher.

I'm afraid this is a trap set up by someone to lure Jiang Sheng out.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xia. No one instigated me. I decided to take you away on my own. I didn't ask anyone for help when I was preparing. I did everything on my own."

"I have found a hiding place in advance. Let's go there first. After Jiang Mingzhi and the others give up looking for us, we will go somewhere else. I will definitely protect you well."

Jiang Sheng had acted on impulse before, and now after hearing what Ke Xiaoxia said, he felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't show it.

Ke Xiaoxia sighed inwardly.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

"It's better not to go to the place you originally prepared, and find a new place to stay."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ke Xiaoxia was afraid that there was an ambush at the place Jiang Sheng had originally prepared, so she asked him to change the place. Unexpectedly, she hit the mark by accident.

But even after changing places, they couldn't escape.

In addition to the ambush, there were two other people following them.

The place where Ke Xiaoxia and Jiang Sheng settled was a dilapidated temple.

Jiang Sheng was originally planning to find a village to settle down, but was stopped by Ke Xiaoxia.

"Since we are going to run, we can't leave too many clues."

Ke Xiaoxia didn't mind the escape, but now that he was out, it was obviously impossible to let Jiang Sheng go back.

I don’t know if I’m being targeted, and going to the village would simply bring trouble to others.

Although Ke Xiaoxia didn't want to die so early, it was because she was frightened by Jiang Sheng in the beginning.

She also has a system that allows her to go to the next world after she dies. Although she is still a little nervous, she is not particularly panicked.

As for Jiang Sheng?

Don't expect her to have much sympathy for the culprit who caused her early death.

Jiang Sheng was quite well prepared. There was not only silver but also food and water in the carriage.

The two of them ate something casually.

Ke Xiaoxia really doesn't want to bother with Jiang Sheng now.

Jiang Sheng was also afraid that they were being targeted, so he was always on guard.

"Xiao Xia, go and have some rest. I'll be the one keeping watch."

Ke Xiaoxia didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Sheng and went straight to bed.

It was difficult to sleep well in the dilapidated temple, and I would be easily awakened by any noise.

The flames jumped, Jiang Sheng stared at Ke Xiaoxia for a while, and smiled with some satisfaction.

He could sense Ke Xiaoxia's reluctance, but Jiang Sheng felt that it was because of his previous immature behavior. In the future, as they spent more time together, Xiaoxia would definitely know that he would be reliable.

In the first half of the night, Jiang Sheng was still able to remain vigilant.

But in the second half of the night, the spoiled young man couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Sheng pinched himself, trying to sober himself up, but it didn't work for long.

Jiang Sheng rubbed his eyes.

At this moment, something drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell accurately into the fire, making a crackling sound.

Something exploded in the fire and the fragrance spread.

Ke Xiaoxia, who was half asleep and half awake and sleeping uneasily, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Sheng couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly closed his eyes.

After both of them fell asleep, a slender figure walked in slowly from outside.

As he moved forward step by step, his face became clearer in the light of the fire.

It was Jiang Mingzhi.

Jiang Mingzhi didn't look at Jiang Sheng. He just walked forward and gently picked up Ke Xiaoxia.

Ke Xiaoxia lay quietly in his arms.

Jiang Mingzhi stood up, holding Ke Xiaoxia and walked to the entrance of the dilapidated temple before stopping.

He ordered, "Drive the carriage away and don't worry about the rest."

"yes."

Jiang Mingzhi carried Ke Xiaoxia back to the capital.

He did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but went to another courtyard.

There was already someone waiting in the yard.

Jiang Mingzhi walked over holding Ke Xiaoxia, leaving two words behind: "Prepare water."

*

the next day.

Jiang Sheng woke up and found himself sleeping on the floor. Maybe it was because the floor was too hard or maybe it was because of his bad posture, Jiang Sheng felt some pain in his body.

He pinched the back of his neck and said with a bit of sleepiness: "Xiao Xia, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

No one responded.

Jiang Sheng's mind suddenly jolted and he instantly woke up.

There was no one in the room except him.

The fire that was originally burning had long since gone out.

Jiang Sheng was a little panicked: "Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, where are you? Don't scare me, Xiao Xia..."

He ran out quickly and the carriage disappeared.

Jiang Sheng was a little confused.

Did Xiao Xia leave secretly by herself?

No, Xiao Xia definitely wouldn’t leave secretly on her own. Someone must have taken Xiao Xia away.

Jiang Sheng immediately ran towards the capital.

He wants to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and save Xiaoxia.

When Jiang Sheng was rushing to the capital, Ke Xiaoxia also opened his eyes.

The environment was completely different from last night and Ke Xiaoxia sat up suddenly.

She checked herself.

I was in good condition, not missing any weight or feeling uncomfortable, just my clothes had been changed.

After making sure that he was fine, Ke Xiaoxia began to look around again.

It was a completely unfamiliar room, but it was decorated very delicately.

The bed was soft and comfortable.

There are a lot of jewelry on the dressing table.

The wardrobe was very big, but Ke Xiaoxia didn't open it to look.

She walked over to the dressing table.

That’s right, it was the face of her world. It seemed that she had not traveled through time inexplicably.

So what's going on?

Jiang Sheng was discovered while escaping and was caught in time?

So why was she in this completely unfamiliar room?

Ke Xiaoxia pursed her lips and found that something seemed wrong with them.

She moved closer to the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully.

I found that something was indeed wrong.

The lips were very dark in color and a little more swollen than usual.

At the same time, there are some strawberry marks on the neck.

After Ke Xiaoxia discovered the strawberry mark on her neck, she undressed and took a look.

She was speechless when she saw this.

Is it a dog? So fond of chewing?

Ke Xiaoxia wasn't particularly smart, but given the current situation, she was 100% sure that Jiang Sheng had definitely fallen into someone else's trap.

Maybe it’s a meeting between acquaintances.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Miss, can I come in?"
