Chapter 127 Meeting Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Lie Again
When Shen Shixu heard this, he didn't care about the meal he had just taken two bites of, and asked Mo Yu to take him there quickly. Mo Yu looked at his half-eaten meal, and Xiao Jinyi who was staring at him coldly.
"How about you finish your dinner, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow!"
Mo Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "With Bai He in Pingcheng County, there won't be much trouble."
Xiao Jinyi also put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and came over to persuade him: "Mo Yu is right. You are tired all day and haven't had a good meal yet. You have to eat first. After eating, we can go to Pingcheng County together. It won't cost a little time."
Seeing that their son was going to solve the case without even eating, Shen's father and mother felt very distressed. Shen's mother pulled Shen Shixu over and forced him to sit down.
I added a lot of vegetables and meat to his bowl and said, "Finish these before you leave."
Shen Shixu sat down and picked up the bowl to eat obediently, but because he was worried about something, he ate very quickly.
Mother Shen asked Mo Yu to sit down and eat together, and asked the housekeeper to prepare some dry food and water for them to bring.
Although Pingcheng County belonged to their Minglu City, they had to travel at night because it was difficult to walk in the dark. I'm afraid we won't get there until tomorrow morning.
Mother Shen asked the housekeeper to prepare food and drinks for them. It was also the habit of the elders. When the child went on a long journey, she could not help but bring him some food and drinks, for fear that he would be hungry or thirsty on the road.
So even though Pingcheng County was close enough to catch up with breakfast, Shen's mother still asked people to prepare food, and drinks should be prepared even more, because it is always easy to get thirsty when traveling.
After Shen Shixu quickly finished the big bowl of rice and vegetables, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, then looked at Xiao Jinyi who had already finished eating, and said to Shen's father, Shen's mother, and Shen Zexi.
"Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, I'm going to investigate a case. After the case is investigated, I will not come back but go directly to the capital. We will see you in the capital then."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shen's father and mother sent him out the door reluctantly.
My son hadn't been home for several months. When he finally came back, we had no time to spend some quality time together before he had to leave.
Mother Shen looked at the back of Shen Shixu riding away on horseback, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, and Father Shen reached out and put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his arms.
"Don't be sad. After we finish our housework and take stock of our business tomorrow, we will move our family to the capital, so that we can be closer to Ah Xu."
"Okay! We don't have any relatives here anyway, so we can just settle down in the capital and never come back."
After they could no longer see Shen Shixu's figure clearly, Shen's father and mother turned back to the Shen Mansion to discuss settling in the capital with Shen Zexi.
Chen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi rode out of the city on horseback. It was pitch black all around them. Only the moon in the sky provided a dim light for them, allowing them to identify the direction. They could not take care of much else.
They could only ride forward in the dark. Shen Shixu celebrated that he was accompanied by Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yu. If he were alone, he would never dare to travel at night.
Even with the two of them there, it was pitch black all around, with the occasional sound of wind blowing through the treetops and leaves rustling against each other, which made him feel creepy.
Xiao Jinyi seemed to have sensed his uneasiness and rode his horse closer to him. Shen Shixu looked at his figure beside him and was not as scared as before.
Mo Yu lagged behind them a little. Looking at the two people who were clearly riding two horses but looked like they were riding one horse, he felt a toothache.
At this moment, he was eager to go home and wanted to see Bai He as soon as possible. He was no longer the bachelor he used to be, he also had a lover.
Shen Shixu and his companions traveled at 3/4 of their daytime speed, and by the second half of the night, they were all a little hungry.
Xiao Jinyi found an open space to stop and asked everyone to rest for a while and have something to eat.
Mo Yu went to find some wood to start a fire, and put the cold meat patties aside to roast them. As the three of them were eating the meat patties, they suddenly heard the sound of someone riding a horse at full speed.
And it wasn't just one person, but a group of them, at least a dozen horses.
Not only that, someone was heard threatening loudly, "As long as you two surrender, we will not kill you."
"Oh! If you can believe what you say, even sows can climb trees."
Shen Shixu felt that the voice sounded very familiar, but he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he turned around and asked Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yu.
"Do you two think this voice sounds familiar? Why does it sound like the Emperor's uncle's voice to me?"
Xiao Jinyi heard it, picked up the sword beside him, stood up and said: "It's my uncle, Mo Yu, get ready to save people. Ah Xu, find a place to hide, don't let them find you."
Shen Shixu knew his own abilities, so he didn't add to the chaos. He looked around and saw a large rock diagonally opposite.
It's dark now and we should not be easily discovered if we hide in the back.
Seeing that Shen Shixu had hidden well, Xiao Lie and the others were also being chased here, and Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yu went up to meet them with swords in hand.
The group of people saw the bonfire and knew there were people here, but they thought they were just ordinary people passing by. They didn't expect them to be two tough guys. They were not careful and were injured by Xiao Jinyi and Mo Yu.
Xiao Lie didn't expect to meet Xiao Jinyi here, but fortunately he met him.
Just now he thought that he and Baili Xi were going to be in great danger this time!
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Lie would not have taken that group of people seriously, but now he was poisoned and Baili Xi was beaten up, so he really had no way to deal with the pursuers.
Xiao Jinyi saw Baili Xi, who was covered in blood, and Xiao Lie, whose lips were purple. While he was dealing with the group of people, he said to him, "Uncle, take my uncle Xi and hide aside for a while. I will help you heal your wounds after I have dealt with these people."
Xiao Lie knew his situation, so he got off the horse holding Baili Xi and found a place to hide. It just so happened that the place he was looking for was where Shen Shixu was hiding.
Xiao Lie saw a figure hiding there, and subconsciously stabbed with a sword, but Shen Shixu dodged in embarrassment.
But because it was dark and he couldn't see clearly what was under his feet, he accidentally stepped on a rock and fell on his butt.
“Ouch!”
Xiao Lie was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy, but when he heard the voice, he stopped, "Ah Xu?"
"Uncle, it's me!"
When Xiao Lie heard his reply, he quickly put away the sword in his hand, then reached out and helped Shen Shixu, who was sitting on the ground, up.
"I'm sorry, uncle didn't recognize you just now. Did I hurt you?"
