Crowded streams of people followed. The direction in which people walked was flowing. Although it was bustling, it also seemed out of place.

"That man looks pretty. Why don't you bring him home to be my husband?"

Just as Hu Xiao and Zhi Lan were strolling leisurely, they did not know that there were people watching them from afar.

Hu Xiao felt that someone was staring at her from behind, but she turned around and could not see who they were. It was probably because she was being too vigilant, and there were so many people on the streets that she did not recognize any of them.

Even though he thought this, he still felt a bit guilty. He quickened his pace towards the yamen.

"Why did Young Master leave so quickly?" This young master has a pretty face and is very compatible with me. I wonder if this young master will marry? "

The lady who had followed Hu Xiao for a long time saw that Hu Xiao had increased his pace, and quickly lost sight of the crowd, so she quickened her pace and walked towards Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao looked at the girl in front of him. The sky blue group of girls looked extremely young and cute, and if one ignored the words he said, she would definitely look like a lady from a noble family.

So the person who was staring at him from behind was actually the lady. Hu Xiao found it funny, why was his current outfit so attractive to girls? Was he too handsome? It looked like he had succeeded in dressing up today.

"This lady is so bold. I don't think my lady is very compatible, so I must ask her to look for someone else. There is no need to waste time on me."

He did not want to get too involved with the little girl in front of him. If she were to leave tactfully, it would save her a lot of trouble.

"Whether you like it or not, you'll understand. However, in my eyes, you and I are very fated. If I like you, then I won't waste any time on you."

Hu Xiao originally thought that after the woman heard what she had to say, she would retreat, but who would have known that she had triggered her competitive spirit? The remaining parts were not suitable for her to confess that she was a girl, so she let Qin Shuo know that he had disguised himself as a man to play, and that it would lead to a lot of trouble.

Seeing that the lady in difficulty did not agree with what he had said, if he wanted to avoid any trouble, he might as well leave quietly.

After making his decision, he exchanged glances with Zhi Lan, and the two of them took advantage of the crowd to leave stealthily.

The woman wanted to say something, but no sound of the two of them could be heard. She stomped her foot in anger and viciously ordered the people behind her, "No matter what, find those two people for me. I'm determined to win against that handsome man!"

When the servant behind the woman heard her master's orders, he scattered in search of those two.

At the same time, Hu Xiao was secretly rejoicing at the fact that the lady was able to get rid of him so easily.

"Empress, we have already gotten rid of that person … A woman? "

Zhi Lan was already out of breath from running, and seeing them resting inside the alleyway, she asked.

"You got rid of him, right?"

Just then, the two of them had been extremely careful in their retreat, and with that young miss's appearance, they naturally wouldn't have been able to catch up to them.

was stunned by the voice. He turned his head stiffly to look at the pitch black alleyway behind him.

Could it be that right after stepping out of the woman's palm, someone had already come chasing after her?

At this moment, Zhi Lan also felt a hint of killing intent from the depths of the alley. How could the assassin come so fast?

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding before hurriedly retreating behind them. They believed that they would not dare to make a move in a place with too many people.

But Hu Xiao never thought that the assassins would actually be so bold, following closely behind Hu Xiao and the others in the crowd.

In her panic, Hu Xiao looked at the lady who was teasing him just now. At this time, the girl no longer had any servants following her, and there were a few people in the dark beside her who looked like they would attack her at any time.

At this point, Hu Xiao had already thought it through, seeing the lady's expression, she believed that the killers must have come for her. They were curious about her identity, and he and Zhi Lan should have been implicated by her, and she was a person who had spoken a few words to her. Although the lady had an arrogant personality, she was not an evil person, and Hu Xiao would definitely not leave them with no hope of survival.

Seeing that the few of them had rushed up together, Hu Xiao anxiously ran towards the lady. In a few jumps, Hu Xiao saw an inn's window and directly jumped in.

The girl was suddenly brought running by Hu Xiao, and was naturally shocked, but when she saw Hu Xiao, she relaxed in her embrace.

The woman was startled, and felt relieved. Indeed, only girls could have such a delicate and pretty appearance, and every single movement was filled with a feminine aura, she should have thought of that long ago, and felt extremely regretful.

"It's safe now, come down."

Seeing that the lady was still holding onto him while she was in a daze, Hu Xiao could not help but feel that it was funny, wasn't the woman just now as bold, why was she now so afraid?

"You're a woman?"

Hearing her voice, Hu Xiao was startled, when had she ever accidentally let her go? Just now, she was too nervous, and Hu Xiao did not know when this woman had discovered her identity.

"Just now, I accidentally touched your place …"

Seeing Hu Xiao's blank face, the woman could not help but blush and lower her head to ask. Although she had a bold and unrestrained character, she had never encountered such a situation before. Naturally, she was extremely shy now.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Those assassins came for you. Are there any candidates?"

The woman's red cheeks suddenly made Hu Xiao feel helpless. It would be better to be as unrestrained as before, since this way Hu Xiao would be a bit more at ease.

When the woman mentioned this, she instantly retracted the expression on her face.

"They really came for me. I'm sure no one other than that person would want me to die that badly."

In the past few days, there had been people secretly chasing after her. Usually, they had relied on their servants and guards to easily hide, but today, because the guards and servants were all sent by the lady to find Hu Xiao and Zhi Lan, she found out that she was slightly nervous, but she was finally able to relax.

Just now, Hu Xiao did not even bother to speak with her and carried her in her arms. The lady thought that the assassins no longer cared about the people on the streets, but at that moment, Hu Xiao calmed down.

Although he had only met Hu Xiao once, with Hu Xiao by his side, his heart was at ease.

"Empress, we have already captured a person."
