The group of four finally arrived outside the capital, but the inspection at the city gate was stricter than that of all the previous cities.
Even if it is a horse-drawn carriage, we must check the bottom of the carriage to see if there are any Tibetans.
The four of them stood not far away, watching this scene, then looked at each other, and finally Heng Fuwei said, "Let's go."
There's no way to avoid it.
As a result, before they had taken two steps, Xu Qiudong came up with another idea.
"etc."
As soon as Xu Qiudong finished speaking, he saw the guards at the city gate taking over. They exchanged some information with each other. Most of the guards at the city gate had left, leaving only two or three people. The originally strict inspection became extremely lax.
Their principle of guarding the gate is that anyone can enter.
The other three people followed Xu Qiudong's gaze and looked over. Seeing this scene, they seemed to have guessed something.
Heng Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief and suggested, "Let's find a safe place to stay outside the city for the time being."
"Um."
So, the four of them found an empty house outside the city and stayed there temporarily.
At night, Tai Sumeng walked out of the house after dinner and stared blankly towards the direction of the capital.
I don’t know how my cousin is doing?
Tai Sumeng has always been concerned about Zhuo Yuanyu.
Perhaps Tai Sumeng was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Xu Qiudong coming behind her.
Xu Qiudong followed her gaze and glanced in the direction of the capital, and roughly guessed what she was thinking.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tai Sumeng turned to look at Xu Qiudong, smiled softly, shook her head, and said, "It's okay."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Xu Qiudong didn't continue to ask. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever thought about what you most want to do after all this is over?"
Speaking of the future, Tai Sumeng just felt it was too far away. She couldn't even solve the current predicament.
"I don't know yet." Tai Sumeng told the truth.
She really doesn't know.
Xu Qiudong made a promise, "If you think it through, tell me and I'll help you."
Tai Sumeng nodded.
She still didn't know why Xu Qiudong was suddenly so nice to her. She thought Xu Qiudong had betrayed her.
Tai Sumeng was very happy.
Suddenly, she looked in the direction behind Xu Qiudong, her eyes widened slightly, and she reached out to push Xu Qiudong aside.
When Xu Qiudong turned around, Tai Sumeng had already been knocked down by a Gu man.
Xu Qiudong's eyes narrowed, and she picked up a wooden stick and smashed it hard at the poisoner.
However, even so, the poisoner still bit Tai Sumeng's neck tightly and refused to let go.
Blood flowed down Tai Sumeng's neck and onto the ground.
Tai Sumeng's eyes gradually became blurred. She stretched out her hands, grabbing something in the air, and murmured, "Mother..."
Tai Sumeng's aorta was bitten and he bled a lot.
Xu Qiudong used all his strength to pick up the poisoned person with a wooden stick and threw him aside.
While the poisoned person was still unable to get up, Xu Qiudong seized the opportunity to finish him off by stabbing his heart with a wooden stick.
Seeing that the Gu man had stopped moving, Xu Qiudong walked quickly towards Tai Sumeng, panting.
Xu Qiudong held Tai Sumeng in his arms, holding her wound which was gradually losing its warmth. Xu Qiudong felt a little touched when he saw the blood on his hands.
She never expected that Tai Sumeng would risk his life to save her.
As a result, Xu Qiudong's feelings towards Tai Sumeng became more complicated.
