Shen Yuan lowered her head, avoiding his eyes that were hotter than the sun, took another bite of pigeon meat, and swallowed all her doubts alive.

After the two of them finished eating, they immediately packed up and hit the road again.

We arrived at the pier soon.

Shen Yuan was born and raised in the border area, and has short-sighted eyes. She thinks that taking a boat on the waterway is just a small boat wandering in the water. She is satisfied if she can carry a black awning on her head to protect her from wind and rain. But now The reality of this behemoth really opened her eyes.

"Standing on the ground, you can only see the side of the ship. I wonder what it will be like to get on the ship!" Shen Yuan sighed while looking at the big ship.

Xiao Xingyun stood aside, not surprised.

A wooden ladder was put down on the ship, the anchor was raised, and the sails were swollen.

Xiao Xingyun looked at it for a while and realized something was wrong. He suddenly looked solemn and said, "I'm afraid we can't get on this ship."

Shen Yuan seemed to be out of the situation, with a confused look on his face and was about to ask something. The next second, his hand was already held by Xiao Xingyun.

She stared at the hands held by the two of them in shock, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

How can this guy pull it off so smoothly?

In public, let alone an unrelated man of a similar age, even a child of the opposite sex, she would have known how to make her own decisions in the past, but in this situation, she couldn't let go of his hand and go to the other side, could she?

However, will others misunderstand me if I talk like this on the street?

Shen Yuan looked up at him, and the sunlight hit his long eyes, casting a little light on the high bridge of his nose.

Well, this guy is pretty good-looking.

Just misunderstand her, there is no shame in it, no one knows her anyway.

The two of them walked into a shop on the pier together and found a place near the door.

Sit down. Xiao Xingyun felt Shen Yuan's burning eyes. He didn't know why, but he didn't care much.

At this time, the bottom of the big boat was like a living wheel, and it began to push water violently in all directions. The ripples hit the shore rocks in circles, and the horn on the boat also rang loudly.

Shen Yuan seemed reluctant to leave. She raised her head to look at Xiao Xingyun and couldn't help but ask, "Are we really not going to get on the boat?"

She had never been on a boat, but she quite wanted to.

Little Shen Yuan felt a little regretful.

"Hiss..." Xiao Xingyun clicked his tongue, "If you don't get on, you won't be able to survive if you get on this ship."

She asked: "Are Duan Xunan's people on the boat?"

"I went to the shop last night and discovered an interesting thing. In the evening, a group of plainclothes government officials quietly searched all the inns, shops, and restaurants in the county. In the end, they stayed at the dock and did not leave. ," he chuckled, "why do you think it is?"

"In the evening," Shen Yuan recalled carefully, "Xu Nan was guarding our tracks at the camp outside the dungeon at that time. In other words, it was someone else who searched the city yesterday and laid a dragnet on the ship today."

Xiao Xingyun said nothing.

"Is there another group of people following us?" She stared at Xiao Xingyun, "Are they your enemies?"

Xiao Xingyun looked at her, his eyes suddenly turned cold, a sharp light surged in his long eyes, and the trembling look of the girl in front of him was reflected in his pupils: "He is from Zhao Qingce."

Ice formed on Shen Yuan's back, and everything from head to toe became cold in an instant.

The sun was still shining in the sky, people were coming and going in the town, and the docks were bustling, but Shen Yuan seemed to be thrown into darkness.

The abyss of the sun.

The girl's heartbeat accelerated, and a noisy sound came from the bottom of her heart, like water dripping in a spring, like a countdown to death.

Shen Yuan clutched her chest, feeling a little difficult to breathe.

No, no, Shen Yuan seemed to suddenly realize something, and the light in his eyes became extremely frightening.

Now she is the maid Shen Yuan, Zhao Qingce doesn't have to do anything to her.

Mainly because of the man in front of him, the person who may replace him in history. Zhao Qingce will definitely not show mercy. According to his character, he will use all means to kill Xiao Xingyun. He will not allow anyone to do so. Ruined his big deal.

This is now, at the moment when Xiao Xingyun's power is at its weakest and he is still a dragster!

Zhao Qingce will never let go of this opportunity!

Zhao Qingce understood very well what Xiao Xingyun's existence meant to him. He would never let himself make any mistakes. He would definitely try his best to kill Xiao Xingyun.

"Now everyone in the government and the public thinks that I am fighting against the refugees in Jinzhou," Xiao Xingyun said slowly, making sure that Shen Yuan followed his thoughts, "If I die somewhere else at this time, do you call it a deserter on the battlefield, or do you call it a deserter on the battlefield? What about the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Shen Yuan was startled.

Xiao Xingyun continued: "Xingdu Mansion, Jialing Pass, Taoxian County Lieutenant, none of them can be separated from each other."

He thought for a while and added slowly: "By the way, there is also the Yanshan Academy that you have worked so hard to manage... anyway, hundreds of heads are not enough to lose."

At this moment, Shen Yuan thought of Xiao Huanzi, Ayao, Ya'er and the others. If this matter is really exposed, then none of them will survive!

"He came for me." Xiao

Xingyun saw Shen Yuan's fear, reached out and rubbed her head, comforting her, "As long as I die, the Xingdu Mansion will inevitably protect the Twelve Lines Division, and the Jialing Pass will protect the Jialing Mansion and Shibo Division. The news will be completely blocked, my traces and death will not be exposed, and the news of my death in the battlefield will be released at the same time, so that they will not be implicated."

Yes, in the last life, he was powerless to do anything to Zhao Qingce and could only watch Shen Yuan fall into the abyss.

But in this life, he has enough ability to protect Shen Yuan.

He would never leave her again.

Now he dare not think about how his heart and lungs would be broken without Shen Yuan, and how many people he would kill to bury her with her.

After a pause, Xiao Xingyun's eyes fell on her, seemingly with a little reluctance. He said: "Don't be afraid Yuan'er, he can't hurt you, nor can he hurt the people you care about."

Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Xingyun in front of him, and suddenly thought of Zhao Qingce's dangerous eyes. Before killing someone, Zhao Qingce would usually squint at the other person.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan closed her eyes in pain.

When she opened it again, her eyes were like clear spring water, and Xiao Xingyun's appearance was reflected in her pupils.

She looked into his eyes, eyes that she could not see through anyway.

"You are also someone I care about."

Xiao Xingyun was stunned.

He didn't have any intention to distinguish whether the words were true or false.

At that moment, his heart beat violently like never before, like a dead person suddenly resurrected.

Is Shen Yuan actually worried about him?

He felt he had heard wrong.

He lowered his head and smiled, gently rubbing her head with his hands, his eyes filled with warm light.

It seemed to be a promise to her, "Don't worry, I won't die, I will always protect you."

Shen Yuan blinked.

This gesture is both familiar and unfamiliar.

The man who made her lose all her relatives and friends is now plotting to take away her last companionship.

She is really scared.
