The evening breeze is strong

The red silk wedding invitations filled the hall, and night was approaching;

There was a mingled exchange of wines, light, fire, and laughter.

The window was nailed from the outside with wooden boards in a criss-cross pattern. Standing by the window, Ember saw this scene through the holes in the window paper.

People were coming and going outside, and the trays were filled with dazzling treasures, pearls, jade ornaments, and various rare ornaments. Even the utensils were of strange shapes and exquisite workmanship, not to mention the materials used, including gold, silver, copper, and jade.

Everything is there. If you don't tell others, others will think that this is a wedding held by a wealthy family.

"Did sister see anything?"

Cui Shexi suddenly came over. He lay on the window edge and poked another hole with his hand. He closed one eye and looked out. He looked for a long time. He didn't see anything else. He just exclaimed: "The bandits are indeed rich. These things are not worth it."

Normally, they are all items used in the palace!"

He looked up at Ember, trying to see half of Ember's face covered by the wide hood from this angle.

Yi Yan walked away and sat back at the table, looked at Zhan Shuyun, and asked: "The opportunity has come, should you leave or stay?"

Zhan Shuyun tapped the table, "I'll stay, you go."

Cui Shexi came over and was about to speak when the sound of chains shaking came from the door. Zhan Shuyun winked at Yi Yan, who nodded slightly and reached out to grab the teacup on the table.

"Two young gentlemen, these are wedding attires..."

Zhan Shuyun and Yi Yan looked at each other, walked up behind the two maids, and smashed down a knife and a teacup with lightning speed.

Cui Shexi was in disbelief at the sudden turn of events, but he moved faster than his mind and rushed forward to catch the two pallets that were about to land. He was in a hurry to hold them steady, using his left and right hands to catch one after another. He did not dare to relax after confirming that everything was fine.

, for fear that breathing would destroy the balance, I took a breath and turned around to put it down, then let out a long sigh of relief.

His heart was pounding, his breathing was rapid, and he was both excited and scared. If anything went wrong in this series of actions, it was hard to say whether they could still stand here safely.

"If you don't discuss any actions with me, you might as well tell me in advance." Cui Shexi said in a low voice.

Yu Yan apologized, "It was decided at the last moment. I didn't have time to talk to Mr. Cui, so don't blame me."

Cui Shexi didn't care about it, so he waved his hands and squatted over, "It's just two people, or two maids. There are three of us, how can we get out?"

Zhan Shuyun bent down and picked up a set of bright red wedding clothes, and said to the two of them: "You put on your maid's clothes and go out, I will stay."

The door was closed and pushed open, and two maids came out carrying trays one after the other. The latter one walked to the door and stumbled, holding her throat and letting out a low voice.

"Oh!"

His feet were sprained, his hair was messed up, and his eyebrows were covered.

The first one quickly turned around to help you, "Did you twist your foot? Are you okay? I'll help you walk. Watch the road carefully."

The voice was the same as the female voice I heard when I walked in.

"If you're injured, go back quickly. Let someone else take care of the guy at hand. Don't delay things."

The gatekeeper said gloomily.

The maid apologized repeatedly, "Yes, yes, slaves, don't worry, let's go down now."

With that said, one supported the other and limped away quickly, keeping his head down and his eyebrows down from beginning to end.

Avoiding the noisy crowd and walking to a remote corner, two maids stopped. One of the maids suddenly grew taller, and the end of her skirt quickly left the ground and drooped to her calves. At the same time, the maid beat her waist and kicked her legs, saying: "Finally come out.

Got it!"

It’s not who Choi Seok-hee is.

"My sister is amazing, her voice sounds really similar!"

Yi Yan also straightened up immediately. She looked up at the night sky, looked carefully, listened, and felt...

Cui Shexi took a look, and also imitated Yi Yan and looked up into the sky.

After a while, Cui Shexi lowered his head and touched his neck.

I looked at him with empty eyes.

"There will be strong winds tonight," Ember said suddenly.

What does this have to do with them?

But, "Can you watch the stars at night?"

Cui Shexi raised his head again, then lowered his head, then raised his head again. After repeated several times, he still couldn't see any clue. He only felt that the moon tonight was really cold.

He couldn't help but shiver, and the idea of ​​taking off the maid's outer clothes was temporarily abandoned. Without him, keeping warm was the most important thing now.

He hunched his neck and crossed his arms and urged: "Sister, we have to go out to watch the stars. Now is the most relaxed time. If these bandits find something wrong later, it will be difficult for us to go out again."

"You know how to get out?"

Cui Shexi nodded and shook his head, "I'm not sure if the guards in other places are too strict. If you want to run away, you can only run to the west. There are deep mountains and old forests over there and there are no people. The disadvantage is that the situation is unknown. There are mostly ferocious beasts in the mountains. If you are not lucky, you will still hiccup.

fart."

The terrain of this damn place was the same one he touched when he was captured last time.

"But fortunately it's winter now, and most animals are hibernating. With better luck, we can escape." Cui Shexi stomped forward to lead the way, "I'll take you there."

After walking for two steps without hearing any footsteps, Cui Shexi turned around in confusion and saw that Yi Yan was still standing there thoughtfully, with no intention of following him.

"younger sister?"

Yi Yan turned his head and looked to the southeast, curling his lips, "Mr. Cui, have you ever heard of darkness under the lamp?"

The wind tonight is not wind, but a demonic wind.

At three o'clock in the hour of Xu, the wind came from the northwest, the cirrus clouds arrived, covering the sky and the moon, the dark wind howled, the sand stirred up the waves, and the moon was blocked and the light was blocked.

"You are really..." A man of God!

Before he finished speaking, the wind and sand filled his mouth, and he had to close it and cover his mouth with his sleeve.

Ember threw the specially made retractable flying tiger claws, followed the wind, and caught the wall without any effort. She grabbed it to make sure it was secure, then put her arm around Cui Shexi, "Hold on."

After saying that, he kicked his feet hard and climbed up along the rope and along the wall.

Cui Shexi's heart tightened, and he suddenly reached out and hugged Yi Yan's neck, and wrapped his legs around Yi Yan's waist, hanging on Yi Yan's body like a naughty child.

Yu Yan took Cui Shexi a few steps and disappeared at the top of the inner wall.

"Did you see anything on the wall just now? There seems to be something." Someone asked doubtfully.

"No...I didn't see it." The man took a closer look, "No, it must have been blown by the strong wind."

"Maybe, maybe I'm dazzled..."

With the support of Tian Shi and Zhan Shuyun, Yu Yan led Cui Shexi out of the bandit stronghold very smoothly, and found a place to rest under a leeward rock and wait for the evil wind to pass by.

Cui Shexi covered his mouth, and the wind swept the sand and fell on the two of them. He tasted a mouthful of sand and did not dare to open his mouth again, but it did not prevent his eyes from shining at this moment. He was panting and his heartbeat was beating fast. This time it was not because of

Frightened, but extremely excited.

The scene where the embers led him to climb over the wall replayed in his mind over and over again. He was excited and embarrassed at the same time. How could she be so smart and brave? Why was he not as good as other girls, and yet he hung on to her, and his reputation was ruined...

His thoughts were rushing back and forth, and the direction of the wind suddenly shifted, hindering his bright eyes.

"Oh, I'm confused!"

It’s New Year’s Eve, the last time of 2022 on the lunar calendar, and it’s about to welcome the new year. I wish everyone all the best and better in the new year!

Happy New Year!

See you again in the Year of the Rabbit!
