lord and beauty

In just a split second, those beggars scattered like birds and beasts, scattered in all directions and disappeared in a flash.

The little beggar froze for a moment, then got up from the ground, stumbled and ran towards the alley with the cakes and cloth bags in his arms, turning his head from time to time to glance at Tan Qiu who was chasing after him.

Jiang Beimu hesitated for a moment when he saw the few beggars scattered, and before he could speak, Tan Qiu beside him rushed out like an arrow, broke through the crowd, and followed him towards the alley .

Jiang Beimu hesitated for a moment, then followed without thinking.

Tan Qiu turned the corner, panted and looked around, only to realize that the little beggar ran to the back street. Most of the back streets were driven by carriages, so few people came in the alley, and it was very quiet. Tan Qiu stood at the intersection After carefully distinguishing the footsteps for a while, he ran to the right.

Sure enough, at the corner of the alley on the right, the little beggar was standing in the middle of the road, panting, obviously exhausted.

"Give me back the bag!" Tan Qiu yelled loudly.

The little beggar was taken aback. He didn't expect Tan Qiu to be so persistent. He immediately turned around and ran to the other side. Tan Qiu was already out of breath, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and the hot air he exhaled was visible to the naked eye. Dissipates instantly.

Tan Qiu took a deep breath, stared at the back of the little beggar, and once again raised his breath to chase after him.

Turning the corner, I saw the little beggar standing in the middle of the intersection, looking at a loss. Tan Qiu looked forward, only to find that Jiang Beimu had already blocked him.

Now there is Jiang Beimu in the front, and Tan Qiu in the back. Under the attack from front to back, the little beggar can only run into a small path on the right, but if Tan Qiu remembers correctly, passing through this small path is the city lord's mansion. It's time, the city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and with Jiang Beimu around, as long as he yells, the guards at all levels can easily catch the little beggar.

Apparently the little beggar also knew where the road would lead, and was cornered at the moment, so he just stood there holding the package and pastries, looking on guard.

Tan Qiu stood there panting for a long time before he finally recovered, walked forward with his hands on his hips, panting as he walked, and said, "Phew... I won't pursue you for my pastry, ha... take my bag Just give it back to me."

Jiang Beimu didn't move, he just stood where he was, guarding the intersection.

"Come..." Tan Qiu walked five steps away from the little beggar, and stretched out his hand: "Give me back the bag, and you can leave."

The little beggar took a step back defensively, and glanced at Jiang Beimu nervously. In his heart, he felt that the man standing still was even more terrifying. Seeing Tan Qiu getting closer, he was almost about to grab him. The little beggar gritted his teeth , turned around and ran towards the only path.

Tan Qiu rolled his eyes, resigned himself to his fate, and ran along. At this moment, the distance between the two has been drawn very close, almost within reach.

Just when the little beggar was about to run out of the path, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, followed by the sound of rolling wheels, from far to near, as if he was about to cross the street.

Tan Qiu and the little beggar ran out of the path one after the other, their eyes suddenly opened up, but it was hard to stop, and they saw a carriage galloping towards the right side, and the little beggar stood stiffly in place, His eyes widened as he stared at the carriage that kept zooming in and approaching. Tan Qiu reacted first, grabbed the little beggar in front of him, and quickly fell backwards. If the carriage sensed someone and wanted to stop, they could do it from this angle. avoid.

It's just that not only did the carriage not intend to stop, it didn't even change its direction, as if Tan Qiu and the little beggar didn't exist, and drove straight forward.

In Tan Qiu's pupils, the shadow of the carriage was continuously magnified, and the silk ribbons hanging from the carriage could almost be seen clearly. As the carriage bumped and the wind swayed gently, the faint sound of bells pierced through the hustle and bustle of the market and entered Tan Qiu's eyes. In the ear of autumn.

At this moment, a figure jumped from the side like a falcon, and just as the horse's hoof was about to fall, he pushed it out with a palm.

The wind of the palm swept away with an extremely powerful force, and slapped the horse with a palm, as if an invisible big hand pushed the horse sideways in an instant, the horse let out a mournful neigh, and then hit the horse On the horizontal wall on the other side, the groom was so shocked that he had to pull the rein in his hand to calm the horse down, but he couldn't care about himself, he was traversed by the force and fell off the carriage.

There was an extremely sharp woman shouting and cursing in the carriage, obviously because she was hit hard.

Tan Qiu was still in shock, and subconsciously pulled the little beggar behind her, and the little beggar was obviously petrified, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"It's alright."

Jiang Beimu breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't care about the carriage, he just carefully lifted Tan Qiu up and looked him up and down a few times. Seeing that Tan Qiu was fine, he was a little relieved, and then turned his head. , eyes as deep as ice, looking at the carriage.

"I'm fine...that carriage..." Tan Qiu didn't say anything for a long time. Just now, in a flash, he seemed to have seen Jiang Beimu knock the carriage away with his palm.

The carriage was galloping towards the two of them, this palm...if it hit a person, it would be truly immortal and half disabled.

At this time, the little beggar could barely regain his senses. Seeing the cloth wrapped rope in his hand being pulled by Tan Qiu, and witnessing the palm just now, he looked at Jiang Beimu as if he was looking at another monster, and immediately slammed it into his eyes. I didn't want the sweet glutinous cake either, so I dropped what I was holding and ran away in another direction.

"Hey..." Tan Qiu looked at the back of the little beggar running away, choked a sentence in his mouth, swallowed it for a while, reached out and pinched the two cloth bags, the tentacles were still bulging, presumably it was the little beggar After taking it, before he could share it with those few people, he and Jiang Beimu chased him, and were forced into the back street in a hurry.

"Fortunately, they are all here." Tan Qiu patted his heart with lingering fear, glanced at the pastry stained with dust on the ground, sighed with great distress, and said to Jiang Bei: "Let's go."

Jiang Beimu took a deep look at the carriage, without moving a step, as if he wanted to say something, but Tan Qiu didn't want to start an argument with others. They lost their horses.Although the carriage could not be said to be driven by a high-ranking official, it was still from a well-to-do family. Although Jiang Beimu was not afraid of him, the villain was hard to guard against. Who knew he would stab him in the back one day.

Jiang Beimu obviously understood what Tan Qiu meant, and without further ado, he and Tan Qiu staggered away from the carriage and continued to walk forward. After crossing this street, they could take a shortcut to Xiao Ye's house.

It's just that Tan Qiu doesn't intend to argue with others, but the other party doesn't think so.

The coachman climbed up immediately after getting out of the carriage, bowed his head through the curtain, and kept apologizing, but the woman in the curtain was very angry and scolded repeatedly, the coachman bowed his head bitterly in response. Amidst the woman's scolding, a lazy male voice casually said "Okay", and the woman's sharp voice dropped slightly, but she was still a little dissatisfied, but the volume was lowered a lot.

When Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu passed the carriage, the coachman's narrow eyes quickly glanced at the two of them, and then quickly said something to the people in the carriage through the curtain of the carriage. Tan Qiu didn't hear it very clearly. , I only heard a few words such as "gone" and "murderer" in a daze, and I must have complained to my master, so that the master would not spread his anger on him alone.

Tan Qiu thought of the appearance of the coachman who saw someone in front of him but still didn't stop his horse just now, so he snorted coldly, thinking that if the servants are so bad, then the master must be no better.

"I let you go! Hit my horse, hit my carriage, and want to leave without even apologizing?!"

Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard a familiar female voice.

Tan Qiu suddenly paused, frowned slightly, and turned to look.

I saw the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a beautiful woman with luxurious clothes and a good face got out of the carriage. The coachman stretched out his hand to help him, but the beautiful woman gave her a gouged look and pushed her away.

And this beautiful woman is the head of the Shi family, she is also the mistress of the "Shang family" who was previously Tan Qiu.

This is really a narrow road for enemies.

Tan Qiu didn't know why, but suddenly didn't want to leave, she just stared at the beautiful woman, and Jiang Beimu who was beside her seemed to be aware of it, and stopped to look.

When the four eyes met, the beautiful woman also reacted, and the whole person froze in place visibly with the naked eye, her complicated complexion was fleeting, her bright red lips were tightly pursed, and her two willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, which was obviously expected outside.

A cold wind blew through the alley, and the sky became overcast, as if a new heavy snow was brewing.

The two sides were silent for a while, and the corners of the beautiful woman's lips moved slightly, revealing an extremely complicated smile, and said in a low voice: "So it's the Jiang family master and..." The beautiful woman's voice was gradually swallowed when she mentioned Tan Qiuzhi In his mouth, he continued after a while: "Mr. Tan."

Jiang Beimu frowned slightly and didn't reply, as if he didn't even remember who the beautiful woman was.

Tan Qiu was furious, and said with a smirk: "Mrs. Shi has to take care of her own people and let someone who can't drive a horse drive. Fortunately, my master is here today, so I escaped the catastrophe. If you bump into other distinguished guests in the future, it will not be easy to solve."

The beautiful woman looked at Tan Qiu's face and became angry. At this moment, the bag on her forehead that had just hit the carriage was still hurting, new hatred and old hatred rushed into her heart, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.

"Tuk-tuk" came from inside the carriage.

Someone knocked on the carriage inside, probably to remind the beautiful woman, Tan Qiu guessed that the person who knocked on the carriage should be the man who just spoke, but he didn't know the identity of this man.

After being reminded by the man, the beautiful woman managed to restrain her anger, and said with a smile: "My lord is right, I was negligent, and I will change her when I go back this time."

As soon as the words fell, there was another light cough in the carriage, it was a man's voice.

The beautiful woman's expression moved slightly, and she said: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. It is also fate to meet two nobles on the street today. It coincides with today's [-]th night. Please also give me a face and come to my house for a little while." How about talking about it?"

Tan Qiu glanced back and forth at the carriage and the beautiful woman, and snorted softly, "Excuse me, I'm not familiar."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Beimu's arm sideways, and continued to walk forward without looking back. Jiang Beimu didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and just stood beside Tan Qiu, as if everything was obeying him. Qiu was about to leave, Jiang Beimu didn't procrastinate, he just turned around and followed Tan Qiu's steps.

The entire face of the beautiful woman was red, and her silver teeth were almost crushed. Looking at Tan Qiu's back, she was full of jealousy and resentment, as if she could eat her flesh raw.

At this time, the curtain on the window frame of the carriage was raised, and a big hand with strong bones pushed the window frame open. The man poked his head out slightly, glanced at the back of Tan Qiu's departure, his eyes moved slightly, and then opened the window. box down.

Halfway through Jiang Beimu's walk, he suddenly turned his head and looked back.

I saw the curtain on the window frame of the carriage moved slightly, the beautiful woman was helped into the carriage again, and everything was as usual.
