Old Han chased after him for a while, but he was out of breath and still couldn't catch up.

Old Lu had been following Gu Fei since the day he left, and watched Gu Fei disappear on his horse at a speed so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

He quickly changed horses and gave chase.

Summer passed quickly and early autumn is here.

It rained frequently during the first few days of the new year. Li Xiaoyu accepted a task from the government office and she had to go to the city to deliver a portrait.

The county magistrate needs it urgently, and if I don’t go today it might delay things.

Looking at the drizzle in the dark sky.

She took a deep breath, went back to her room, put on her straw raincoat and hat, and didn't know whether Xiao Wang happened to be delivering someone on this route or what, but as soon as she arrived at the village entrance, Xiao Wang was waiting there.

"Xiaoyu, come up quickly, I'll take you there."

He quickly got on the carriage, took off his hat and asked the questions in his mind.

The little prince smiled sheepishly and called out awkwardly, "Little Princess."

Li Xiaoyu's face froze.

She froze for only a moment, then returned to her normal state.

She folded her arms, stared at him with a half-smile, and said in a teasing tone: "Good fellow, even you were arranged by him."

Xiao Wang wanted to hide it, but it was his brothers and sisters in the village who told him.

The matter between the little princess and the prince.

He felt that if he kept it secret any longer, the little princess would hate him even more, so he just told it out.

Not knowing how to respond, he just laughed dryly.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips helplessly and asked in a gentle voice: "Let's go."

The wind blew up the curtains. Li Xiaoyu felt a little cold because she was wearing thin clothes today. She just rubbed her arms when she heard Xiao Wang ask her.

"Little Princess, it's raining today, what are you doing in the city?"

After knowing each other for such a long time, Li Xiaoyu felt strange when hearing this name from him.

She straightened her collar and corrected him: "Xiao Wang, you should just call me Xiao Yu like before. I'm going to the city to hand in the portrait."

The little princess doesn't like this name, so he won't call her that.

"Then I'll take you to the government office and I'll wait for you outside."

"it is good."

After handing in the portrait, Li Xiaoyu just wanted to go home quickly. He had no mood to go shopping on a rainy day.

Seeing her coming out of the yamen, Xiao Wang quickly took out a small stool and placed it on the ground, allowing her to use the stool to go up to the front room.

I just opened the curtain and was about to go in.

A ray of light flashed across the dark sky.

The next moment, thunder roared and heavy rain poured down.

Thinking that Xiao Wang's home was in the city, it would be quite troublesome if I sent him back and he had to come back.

After thinking for a while, he said to him, "Xiao Wang, lend me the carriage and I will drive it back by myself. The rain is getting heavier and I am worried that the road conditions will be worse when you come back."

"When the rain stops and the road is dry, I'll bring the carriage back to you."

Under normal circumstances, if she wanted to drive the carriage, Xiao Wang would not stop her, but the weather was very bad today.

What she worries about is also what Xiao Wang worries about.

"Xiaoyu, I'd better take you there. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are thunders from time to time. If the horse gets scared, you might get hurt."

"It's okay, I'll be fine, go back and rest."

As she said that, she took the whip from Xiao Wang's hand. No matter how Xiao Wang objected, she refuted him.

Finally, Xiao Wang could only see the carriages passing by and anxiously told her: "Go slowly on the road. If you really can't go back, don't go back. Stay in the city for one night."

Li Xiaoyu also wanted to stay in the city, so he pushed the brim of his hat with his fingers.

He shouted at the top of his voice, "No, I have received an order for Guokui and I have to deliver it to the door tomorrow."

The family is having a banquet tomorrow and wants her to go and grill on site.

How could she bake for dozens of people? She discussed with the owner and had them bake the cakes in advance and deliver them the next day.

Hearing this, Xiao Wang was stunned.

"How much does the little princess love Guokui?"

Unfortunately, the words were too soft and Li Xiaoyu could no longer hear them.

She drove the carriage all the way out of the city. The roads in the north were much better than those in Shu, but a mud road is still a mud road, no matter how good the road surface is, it will become a mud road once it rains.

It was also muddy.

While driving the horse slowly, he paid attention to the road conditions ahead, for fear that the wheels would fall into a puddle.

She didn't want to get out and push the carriage.

There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and the rain was getting heavier. The slanting rain wet her clothes. There was a corner ahead.

She pulled at the reins to stop the horse.

"Xu~"

When the horse stopped, she whipped it gently on the buttocks and coaxed it like a child: "Xiao Hei, don't run. Walk slowly over there. Don't throw me off."

The horse seemed to understand and neighed.

Then the horse raised its hooves and moved forward slowly.

The rain was pouring down her hat and into her hair. She closed her eyes and wiped the rain off her face.

She had just turned the corner and opened her eyes.

A voice like a dead branch came from the front: "Girl, the rain is too heavy, can you give me a ride on the next leg?"

Looking at the burly man blocking the horse, Li Xiaoyu's pupils suddenly shrank.

His hands unconsciously tightened around the reins.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the sturdy man walked towards the front room step by step, and the scarred face under the hat was revealed.

Their eyes met, and they saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.

Li Xiaoyu confirmed that he had an unlucky attribute.

He had ridden in Xiao Wang's carriage many times and nothing had ever happened, but when he drove his own carriage, he met a thief wanted by the government.

Noticing the other person's hand moving towards her waist, she suddenly forced out a bright smile.

He asked hospitably, "Brother, where are you going? If it's on the way, I can take you to your destination."

The thief paused and said politely, "I want to go to Lijia Village."

"Xia Li Village," Li Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised: "It's quite close, come up and I'll take you there."

"Thank you girl."

"You're too polite, brother. Everyone is my friend when I'm out there. If I don't help my friends, who else can I help? Isn't that right?"

The man found that the woman had a sharp tongue.

Before stepping onto the carriage, he nodded: "The girl is right."

Seeing him get into the carriage, Li Xiaoyu raised his voice a little, "Brother, sit tight, we are about to set off."

Having said that, she pulled the reins.

When the horse started running again, she glanced at the bottom of the curtain with her peripheral vision and carefully reached into her arms to take something out.

At the same time, the thief complained that she was driving the horse too slowly.

He also wanted to kill someone, and he wanted to do it quickly.

At this moment, he had murderous intentions towards the woman outside. He reached behind his back, lifted the corner of her clothes and reached for the dagger.

After experiencing several dangerous situations, Li Xiaoyu's emotions became more and more stable.

While paying attention to the curtain, she also pricked up her ears to listen to the movements inside. When it was too quiet inside, she became alert.

Just about to strike first.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a dagger with a silver glow suddenly stabbed towards her.

Her expression was stern, at the critical moment.

She gritted her teeth, dodged to the side, and at the same time threw out the powder in her hand.

Suddenly, a howling sound was heard from inside.

"what!"

Hearing the man crying and wailing, Li Xiaoyu quickly pulled out his dagger and prepared to go in and cut his neck as he lifted the curtain.

A pair of rotting arms clasped her shoulders.

The force was too great, and the horse was still running, so she lost her balance and they both fell off the horse into the muddy road.
