My emperor, long live!

Pei Mo leaned out of the water, wiped her eyes with her hand, and wiped away the water stains on her body. She was soaked, and when she jumped off the cliff, the pine branches tore through her coat, and the torn cloth was wrapped around her body, hindering her from swimming. hands and feet when moving.

Looking at Qin Ran floating on the water not far away, Pei Mo swam over with great difficulty, took Qin Ran's cold hand, and dragged her to the shore in his arms.

Because Qin Ran fell into the water suddenly, he choked into the stream and passed out. Pei Mo pinched her nose, breathed for her with his mouth, back and forth several times, and pressed her flat belly. Qin Ran coughed and poured out the water They all vomited out, and woke up slowly.

Pei Mo's heart hung in his throat immediately returned to his stomach, and he sat beside Qin Ran exhaustedly, panting for a while, worried: "Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"

Qin Ran shook her head when she heard the words, looked at Pei Mo nervously and said, "What about you? Are you injured?" The wet clothes were against her skin, and she sneezed suddenly.

"I'm fine, just change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

The hidden guards hidden in the dark had already quietly followed to the bottom of the cliff and found the two of them. The dark guards had undergone special training and were very clever. When they saw Pei Mo jumping into the stream at the bottom of the cliff with Qin Ran, they packed them up It is convenient for the owner to change the clean clothes in time.

Taking the clothes from the hidden guard kneeling beside him, Pei Mo found a hidden place in the woods, helped Qin Ran change the wet clothes, and changed his own clothes that were scratched by pine branches.

The dark guards said that the assassins burned all the carriages and tents before they left. Except for the valuables they stole first, the rest of the travel items were reduced to ashes in the fire.

After hearing this, Pei Mo just nodded slightly, showing no emotion, waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "It's just some external things, don't worry about it, you are still hiding in the dark, without my order, no matter what you encounter Unauthorized actions are not allowed in crisis situations.”

The hidden guards clasped their fists and said, "Obey."

After saying that, they put on their masks one after another, performed lightness kung fu, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the disappearing backs of the hidden guards, Qin Ran sighed, and sighed to Pei Mo: "Fortunately, you were prepared, so that you are safe from danger."

Pei Mo stretched out his hand to caress Qin Ran's side face, staring at her tenderly with obsidian eyes, and said softly, "I said I would protect you from any harm, but I almost hurt you unexpectedly." With some self-blame, still afraid of impulsive jumping off the cliff.

Pressing one hand on Pei Mo's generous and slightly warm palm, Qin Ran's tender and fair face was pressed tightly against her palm, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said slowly: "What silly things, as long as we I'm alive, it's enough that you are still by my side, and I don't want you to take risks for me."

When Pei Mo heard this, his heart warmed, and the corners of his lips gradually stained with a warm and sweet smile. He grabbed Qin Ran's hand, and kissed her palm, like a pious promise.

"The sun is about to go down, I'm afraid I will find a family nearby to borrow tonight."

Looking at the remnant clouds in the sky, Pei Mo thought that the tents and carriages had all been burnt down. Qin Ran must not have lived in the wilderness since he was a child, so he had to drag Qin Ran on his way to find a place to stay before dark .

Turning over a small hill, I saw smoke rising from the kitchen. There was a small village in Peimo Valley. After walking for a long time with my back on my back, Qin Ran, who had blisters on the soles of his feet, slowly went down the hillside and found a small village that looked honest and honest. Husband and wife stay overnight.

There are very few foreign guests in this village, so the host's family received Pei Mo and Qin Ran very warmly, and specially made a sumptuous dinner for them, making Qin Ran, who has always been thin-skinned, very embarrassed, especially When the hostess asked if the two were husband and wife, Qin Ran's face became hotter, and he let out a "hmm" like a mosquito.

The hostess smiled when she heard the words, and praised Pei Mo for being so handsome and Qin Ran's good fortune, while tidying up a small room for them with clean bedding and beds.

Pei Mo thanked them politely. Seeing that it was getting late and the master's family had to get up early to do farming tomorrow, he blew out the oil lamp and went to bed with Qin Ran early without disturbing their rest.

Ordinary peasant households are not rich, and their quilts are not as comfortable and warm as the luxurious and soft silk quilts in the palace. Pei Mo wrapped the coarse quilt tightly and held Qin Ran in his arms to prevent her from catching cold. Qin Ran leaned against her chest, suddenly He asked softly, "Pei Mo, do you think today's assassin came too coincidentally, he had visited so many places before without encountering any danger, but something happened just outside the border."

Pei Mo looked at the closed door and made sure that the master was fast asleep and there was no movement outside the door, so he leaned into Qin Ran's ear and whispered, "I suspect that the assassin is most likely sent by Qin Yue."

"My third sister?" Qin Ran frowned, wondering, "She's not in the capital..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking.

Pei Mo chuckled and rubbed her heart, "If Qin Yue hasn't left the border, how did she know that we left the capital and headed toward the border?"

Qin Ran thought about it carefully, and was immediately startled, that is to say, when the spies under Ning Qingcheng saw the woman who looked like Qin Yue, was it really her?

"Since my third sister knows that we are pretending to be traveling, but actually came to check on her news, will she rush back from the capital overnight to eliminate the suspicion?" Qin Ran guessed.

Pei Mo pondered for a moment, not sure what Qin Yue's next plan was, but said: "If the assassin is really sent by her, she should think that we are dead, and she will relax her vigilance. Tomorrow we will disguise ourselves and find a way to avoid Qin Yue's attack." Eyeliner, sneak into the city to inquire."

Qin Ran gave a soft "um" and got tired of speaking, so she slipped into Pei Mo's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the farmers all got up early and went out to do farm work at sunrise.

When Pei Mo and Qin Ran woke up, the hostess was making breakfast. After they finished washing, they offered to help the hostess. Pei Mo kneaded dough with the hostess, and Qin Ran looked at the water in the pot.

While kneading the dough, Pei Mo asked the hostess: "Do you have any old clothes that you don't wear? Can you lend us two."

"Yes, there are rough linen shirts, I wonder if you are wearing them?" Seeing that the clothes on their bodies seemed to be very valuable, the hostess was inevitably a little puzzled.

Pei Mo smiled softly: "It's okay, we're going into the city. I heard that the officers and soldiers outside the border are very fierce. When they see rich people, they will take some money. So we want to change into plain clothes, so as not to be taken advantage of."

The hostess understood what she said, and hurriedly prepared the noodles and put them in the pot, wiped her hands on the apron, and went to the house to find two old coarse linen blouses.

Pei Mo and Qin Ran had breakfast, and changed into peasant clothes. Pei Mo was tall, so he pretended to be a farmer, and Qin Ran wore a headscarf as her little wife. The two of them painted their faces dark, looking very much like laborers. farmers.
