Zhou Xiaomeng took a deep breath, wondering if she should explain the matter more clearly. Although she and Qingmei were friends, she never asked Qingmei to help deal with Zhou Xiang.

Besides, I only found out today that during the period when Zhou Xiang was missing, he was actually looking for the fake Mengmengzi to deal with him, the real Mengmengzi. It was not that Zhou Xiang stupidly thought that he was a fake and mistakenly took the fake one for the real one. of.

Well, now is not the time to think about this.

And she was actually quite curious as to what Zhou Xiang had done. Mr. Zhou Xian suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

She was still waiting for her to question him, but she was caressed and disappeared from under her eyes without even looking at her again.

It seems that he is indeed a great man.

A huge disaster, isn't it?

Tsk, it’s not that she underestimated Zhou Xiang, could he really break through the sky?

Zhou Chuang stood there and stared at her blankly for a while, opening and closing his mouth as if he had something to say, but she waited for a long time and didn't get a word. In the end, she only saw the back figure that Zhou Chuang left for her.

It seems that my ears can finally be quiet now.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise.

She moved back to the small inn where she lived before, and started living her life as a traveler again. She read when she wanted to study and wrote a storybook when she wanted to.

Because of Zhou Xiang's trouble, her book of True and False Masters was inspired again, but she always felt that it should be richer.

So she took the time to go to the teahouse on the street that had the most people and news. The strange thing was that this kind of thing should have been spread a lot, but although everyone was also curious, there was no accurate news.

And she hadn't seen Qingmei for some days, and she didn't know what Qingmei was busy with. It seemed like she had always been with her before, but now she couldn't find her.

However, Qingmei had told her before that if she wanted to see her for anything, she should go to a clothing store called Xiangyun. She had never been there even once, so she went to the address given before.

There was a very luxurious carriage parked at the door, with the word "Chu" embroidered on it. She was overjoyed. Could it be that Qingmei happened to be there? She picked up her skirt and went in. From a distance, she saw a picture with Qingmei Wuliu. They had very similar faces, but she didn't continue to recognize them.

Because it was not Qingmei, and she was nearly forty years old, and she was still dressed as a man.

Almost instantly, she guessed the identity of the man. He was one of the Chu family's concubines and Qingmei's biological father.

She didn't want to see this person. Maybe she had too many feelings for this person before. It was because of him that her childhood was so miserable. She never dared to see people with their true colors, but he was... Qingmei's biological father, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't do anything.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Chu, your Chu family's fragrant cloud gauze is really good. You can't find anything better in Fengcheng."

Although several years have passed, Zhou Xiaomeng will never forget that the owner of this voice is none other than Mr. Li, the principal husband of the Zhao family.

It was precisely because of his aggressiveness that she had to fake death and leave. But hadn't she heard that this man had been moved out of Fengcheng?

Why did he appear here? Moreover, the brother Chu he mentioned should be Chu Qingmei's father. The two of them were together, and Zhou Xiaomeng had a bad feeling in her heart.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was a cold gaze staring at her. When she turned around, she happened to bump into the owner of this gaze, the Chu family's concubine, who smiled at her, but

But it made her feel very uneasy.

"If you like it, come here often." Chu Qingmei's father did not forget to greet Mr. Li.

The two of them obviously wanted to leave.

Zhou Xiaomeng had no choice but to turn away.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped in front of her, and a cold breath came to her ear, whispering to her: "If you don't want to hurt the people you care about, stay away from my daughter."

When Zhou Xiaomeng reacted, the owner of the voice had already walked away.

She chased her out and saw a slender white jade hand lifting the curtain to look out. Those glass-like eyes stared at her without blinking and seemed to be smiling. She smiled slightly, but it made people feel that it didn't look like they were there.

laugh.

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't know how long she stood there, but she came back to her senses when a pair of warm hands held hers.

"Green plum?"

"Yeah." Chu Qingmei looked haggard and tired, pulling her in through the side door.

Zhou Xiaomeng has not fully recovered from what just happened. Looking at the exhausted Qingmei in front of him, he subconsciously felt that during the period of his disappearance, his crazy father must have forced him to go on a blind date again, and perhaps forced him to do something.

For other things, or perhaps, his father might be threatening him with himself.

"Qingmei, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Chu Qingmei said she was fine, but there was always a sense of powerlessness in her tone, which made Zhou Xiaomeng suddenly not know how to answer the call.

"Qingmei, I..."

"Listen to me, something is going to happen in Fengcheng. I may not be able to care about you anymore. Xiaomeng, please leave Fengcheng."

"Something happened? What happened?"

"It's a big matter, and it's closely related to our Chu family. I don't want anything to happen to you, so for your own good, you should leave as soon as possible."

Chu Qingmei said, rubbing the darkness under her eyes a few times with her hands.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he hesitantly looked up at Zhou Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng, getting to know you is the luckiest thing in my life. Also, no matter what happens, you believe that I have never wanted to harm you.

Or some other purpose, and I will do my best to protect the people you care about, but I..."

In the end, he still didn't say anything out loud. He closed his eyes to cover up his helplessness and digest his incompetence.

It turns out that he is so insignificant that he may not even be able to protect the people he cares about.

The only thing that can be done now is to get her out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Because he knew that if she knew everything, she would be desperate, and this time, he knew that he couldn't protect her.

"What on earth is going on? Tell me? Let's find a solution together." Zhou Xiaomeng felt that he must be hiding something important from her, and he always felt that it had something to do with the court, and inexplicably thought of Zhou Xiang being taken away.

thing.

It is said that Zhou Xian asked everyone he could to help, but he could not get Zhou Xiang out at all.

"Xiaomeng, don't ask. I can't tell you. I can only tell you that many people may die, and I may also be among them. If you really care about me, just let me leave. I have already let you go."

The carriage is ready, you can leave now."

Saying that, Chu Qingmei glanced at Zhou Xiaomeng again.

It was only then that Zhou Xiaomeng realized something was wrong with herself. She could no longer hold her eyes open, and before she became unconscious, she shouted "Qingmei" again and fell down.

Chu Qingmei personally carried her to the carriage and told her men to take her to a place far away from right and wrong.

Then he held her and cried for the first and only time.

How reluctant to let go, but I have to let go.

…

Zhou Xiaomeng was knocked out of the carriage and woken up by the harsh sound of swords clashing.

Her head hit the stone, and she was in great pain. She stretched out her hand and touched it, but there was still blood on her hand, but she ignored it and struggled to get up. She saw the beggar uncle and the guards beside Chu Qingmei fighting for their lives.

Yes, use all your strength to attack the vital points with your sword.

What kind of fuss is this?

She rushed over, trying to stop the two of them, but the two deftly avoided her and continued to fight.

Since she was a vegetarian, she grabbed a handful of stones and threw them at the two people. She successfully blocked their moves before she passed.

Obviously both of them didn't want anything to happen to her, so they quickly stopped and stood on both sides of her.

"What's going on?" she asked both of them at the same time.

The beggar uncle's face was very serious, even a little gloomy, and he kept his mouth closed without saying a word, giving the impression that if the other person moved again, he would kill him.

The guards around Chu Qingmei were not far behind, but they still saluted Zhou Xiaomeng and asked about their doubts.

"Do you know this man? He's not here to kill you?"

"She is the beggar uncle, and she is my guard." Zhou Xiaomeng said a little shamelessly. In fact, she and the beggar uncle met by chance, but she thought that the beggar uncle might have nowhere to go, or he might want to repay her kindness for giving him rice.

, I have been by her side from time to time, but she still said that.

"Is that so? Then why did you come to hijack the carriage without saying a word? I thought it was your enemy." As if realizing the misunderstanding, the guard sheathed his sword.

Zhou Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the beggar uncle again, but the sword in his hand showed no intention of being sheathed.

Zhou Xiaomeng frowned and winked at him again. Then the beggar uncle slowly sheathed his sword.

Just what he said made the guard want to draw his sword again.

"I know your master wants her to leave the land of right and wrong, but she can't leave."

"What? You know? Are you trying to stop my master's decision-making?"

"Yes." The beggar uncle didn't take the guard seriously at all.

The guard also knew that he was no match for the beggar uncle. The other party seemed to have let go. Although he didn't understand why, he had to do what the master ordered, so even if he couldn't beat him, even if he might lose his life, he had to do it.

to be completed.

"Then I don't care. My master ordered me to send Boss Zhou and Boss Lu out of Fengcheng."

"Then you have to ask about the knife in my hand." The beggar uncle also drew his knife again, this time with a much different momentum than before.

Not only the guards but also Zhou Xiaomeng felt it.
