Just as she walked out of the market, Hu Xiao saw the person she had an argument with yesterday. She scolded herself for being unlucky and ignored Qin Shuo.
On the contrary, when he saw Hu Xiao, Qin Shuo was elated. After he heard from the secret guard that Hu Xiao was here, he rushed over without stopping.
He patiently waited here for around an hour. During this time, he did not leave even one step, as the Ah Qi advised him to stay at the teahouse, but he was unwilling.
He said that he wanted to see Xiao-Xiao walk out so that she could see him as soon as possible.
"Where did this jinx come from? Why is it still lingering?" As she passed by Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao ridiculed him.
Hearing that, the corner of Qin Shuo’s mouth twitched. In his heart, only Xiao Xiaoxiao was able to say such words, and even Yin Fufeng did not dare to say it in front of him.
The guards in the surroundings looked at each other, holding back their laughter. It was rare for them to see the majestic and awe-inspiring Emperor being humiliated.
Qin Shuo followed behind her without anyone saying a word. On the other hand, Hu Xiao would loudly ridicule his from time to time.
Qin Shuo could only laugh, he did not dare refute her words.
"Aiyo, where did this shadow come from? You’ve followed me all the way here, and you’re not tired, and I’m still tired!" Hu Xiao didn’t even turn her head around, and directly called Qin Shuo a shadow.
If you want to follow, then follow me, he doesn’t care, at most he would just go in and out of her ears, treating it as if she was talking about Ah Qi.
Seeing that the person at the back did not even fart, Hu Xiao was not convinced, and shouted out, "Innocent deed, a woman as beautiful as a flower, actually was followed by a scrawny man."
Hearing this, Qin Shuo’s eyes rolled back, he almost fainted on the spot. What did this mean?
He was clearly a handsome and suave man, why did he become a peddler in Hu Xiao’s mouth? This girl, how could her mouth be so venomous!
"Your majesty, it seems like the Empress wants to leave the city." She observed all the routes that Hu Xiao had taken and realised that Hu Xiao was heading towards the city gate.
Out of the city! Did she want to go to the south in front of him?
No! He would not agree.
Qin Shuo clenched his fists and said coldly: "Block the Queen, you cannot let her out."
Ah Qi had already quietly passed Hu Xiao and was waiting at the city gate. Hu Xiao was thinking about Qin Shuo so she didn’t pay attention to his actions at all.
When they were almost to the city gate, the Ah Qi took a step forward, stood in front of Hu Xiao, and used a cold voice to say: "Empress, you cannot leave the city."
"Oh? So you two followed me because you wanted to stop me? That’s funny! " Hu Xiao could not hold back and laughed. Then, she turned around and saw Qin Shuo walking towards her, and smiled without saying a word.
Being stared at by her in such a way made Qin Shuo panic in his heart, "Xiao-Xiao, why are you going out of the city?"
She was waiting for Qin Shuo to ask that!
But she did not bother with Qin Shuo, and looked towards the Ah Qi instead. "You can leave now, the emperor is being led by me."
Her voice was very soft, and only the guards surrounding her could hear her voice. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Hu Xiao immediately held Qin Shuo’s hand, and the two of them walked past Ah Qi. Ah Qi looked at Qin Shuo, and nodded, indicating that they should listen to Hu Xiao, and go back.
"Xiao-Xiao, what were you doing in the commoner market just now?" Qin Shuo pursed his lips and asked seriously.
Hu Xiao had stayed in the market for most of the morning, and now that she had suddenly left the city, it was unknown what news she had heard from there.
"Hey, just follow me. There are some villages in the suburbs outside the city. Let’s go out and take a look." Hu Xiao smiled mysteriously. The two of them held hands and looked extremely sweet.
The two of them immersed themselves in the sweetness of holding hands, unaware that danger was awaiting them.
Not long after, he suddenly saw a shadow flash on the tree. Qin Shuo was startled, narrowed his eyes and very naturally pulled Hu Xiao behind him.
"What’s wrong?" Hu Xiao asked in astonishment, not noticing it for a while.
He followed Qin Shuo’s gaze, and saw a pitch black figure. The black figure was hidden extremely well, and if one did not look carefully, it was impossible to find it.
Hu Xiao pinched the back of Qin Shuo’s hand, thinking that she couldn’t possibly have such bad luck, running into an assassination attempt right after leaving the city. Who knew how many people her opponents had, or she would be dead before she could even make a move.
"Xiao-Xiao, with me here, I won’t let anything happen to you." Qin Shuo said in a rather manly manner. He would rather die than let anything happen to Hu Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were surrounded by a group of black-clothed men.
Seeing that, Hu Xiao’s mouth twitched, she counted, there were about a few people.
In their bony hands they held shining swords, bright and shining in the sun.
"So scared!" Hu Xiao suddenly changed her appearance. She trembled and hid in Qin Shuo’s embrace.
Qin Shuo was shocked, thinking that Xiao Xiaoxiao was not such a weak person, he was scared to the point that his entire body was trembling before he could even make a move.
"I have no enmity with you, so why are you surrounding me?" Hu Xiao said with a trembling voice, "Is it... "Ah, I remember now. Hubby, we were deceived."
The black-clothed man who was about to make a move suddenly stopped his actions. What did this woman say? What was she fooling?
Seeing that, Hu Xiao knew that her words were effective, she turned her spirited eyes, then continued, "Brothers, Master and I were walking on another path when a man and a woman suddenly appeared. They said that there were many thieves on the other path, so they told us to go this way.
"Aiya, these two victims have treated us two as scapegoats. Elder brother, please don’t kill any good people. My husband is an ordinary merchant and has never offended anyone before. Please don’t kill my husband and I ..."
Hu Xiao took a deep breath. Her eyes were filled with tears, her every word moved people’s hearts.
Unfortunately, they were facing murder and the black clothed man didn’t believe her words at all.
"Cut the crap!" Seeing that the two of them did not have the time, the leader was relieved. He raised his hand and his bright sword struck straight towards Hu Xiao’s chest.
Hu Xiao was already prepared in her heart, seeing the black clothed man make her move, she suddenly squinted her eyes, thinking, if I don’t show off, you think I will be easily bullied!
Just as she was about to attack, she was stopped by Qin Shuo, who indicated for her not to be impulsive with his mouth towards her.
"Big brother!" Hu Xiao suddenly shouted, upon hearing her shout, the black clothed man was immediately shocked.
After that, Hu Xiao did not know what to say, as she had already said what she wanted to say.
Was his acting pitiful? No matter how she pretended, she wouldn’t!
Could it be that he wanted her to use the talk from the TV series to say some old and small nonsense?
