Rody felt like his lungs were about to explode. Every time he took a breath, he felt a sharp pain in his chest that seemed to be heartbreaking. The strength in his body is getting weaker and weaker, but there is only one thought in his mind: run!
In fact, with Rody's current physical strength, he would be exhausted after running like this desperately. But at this moment, he was so frightened that he actually ran far away!
In the ** cave at night, the courtyard in front of the building was originally bustling with people, pleasure seekers, beauties, and various handymen coming and going. Roddy ran into the crowd like a headless chicken. Even if he bumped into others and attracted angry curses, he didn't care and just rushed out of the gate of the cave.
He ran all the way down the street. It's just that although Ms. Shafei chased him all the way, it was because this was the imperial capital after all and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only chase Rody secretly.
Rody had just turned a corner when a carriage suddenly rushed towards him. Roddy couldn't dodge and was carried away by the speeding carriage. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
The carriage driver was startled and immediately held on to the reins. Then a group of people who looked like guards dismounted and surrounded him. The two people immediately walked up to Rody, and one of them kicked Luo who was lying on the ground. Dee.
I only heard a delicate voice inside the carriage: "What's going on! Why did you stop! Didn't I tell you to leave the city immediately?"
The two guards immediately turned around respectfully. One of them lowered his head and said, "Miss, the carriage hit a person."
There was silence in the car for a moment, and then he said slowly: "Did you hit someone? Is it okay? You leave one person to deal with it, and I will continue on my way. I have to go out of the city tonight!"
The guards responded respectfully, and then one of the guards bent down and turned Rody over. Rody had been hit just now, but his brain was temporarily dizzy due to the shock, so he subconsciously struggled to sit up. The guard only glanced at it and immediately exclaimed: "Ah!"
Then without saying a word, he immediately blocked Rody's face with his body, helped Roddy up, carried him to the carriage door, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, please come out and see... this person..."
Rody had woken up at this moment, and his first reaction was to break free, but the guard who was supporting him whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, please don't make a sound, this is the street!" Then he used He glanced at the crowd watching around him.
At this moment, the carriage door had been opened. A pair of white jade hands pushed the door open first, and then a charming face poked out. When she saw Rody in the guard's arms, she was so frightened that she also whispered: "Set! "
Rody was also dumbfounded. The person in front of him with his head sticking out of the carriage door was none other than Miss Qiaoqiao with that charming face!
The guard whispered: "Miss, don't talk, it's not convenient here."
This guard looked very shrewd and capable. He winked at his companions and asked him to disperse the onlookers. He had already helped Roddy into the carriage, and he blocked the door of the carriage, blocking everyone's attention. He looked at Qiao Qiao and said in a low voice: "Miss, please don't say anything. It seems that the Duke came back secretly! You don't know that as an imperial general, returning to the capital without His Majesty's summons is a capital offense."
Rody's expression was even more surprised. He looked at the guard in front of him with a bit of uncertainty. The guard nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the Duke, does not know me. I am a member of Commander Gordon's staff. I once followed you on an expedition to the northwest, and now I have been transferred to serve as Miss Qiaoqiao's guard."
Although Rody was still a little hesitant, at first glance, the respect and loyalty in the guard's eyes could not be faked. He took a deep breath and whispered: "I am being hunted, be careful!"
The guard's expression changed, and he and Qiao Qiao said at the same time: "Pursuit?"
Qiao Qiao had a concerned expression on his face, but the guard had already subconsciously pulled out his sword.
Roddy had completely calmed down at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, get out of here first! The people who are chasing me are very powerful, you can't stop them!"
There was a look of fear on Qiaoqiao's face. Unknown to others, she had seen Roddy's strength with her own eyes. She has always admired the powerful and invincible image of her sweetheart in her heart, and she whispered: "I..."
Rody shook his head and looked at Qiaoqiao with a somewhat complicated look. He really didn't expect that in this situation, he would actually meet Qiaoqiao without death! !
"Let's go first! This is not the place to talk!"
The guard whispered: "Miss, are you still leaving the city? I think it's better to go back home..."
Qiao Qiao's eyes widened and she said, "You can't go back!" After a pause, he said again, "Go to the Duke's Mansion!"
Rody shook his head: "You can't go! The emperor sent people to watch at the Duke's Palace. It's too obvious for you to go like this." He took a breath and said, "Find a place."
An expression of surprise immediately appeared on Qiaoqiao's face: "Then... I just want to leave the city, you come with me."
Rody said hurriedly: "No...it's too dangerous...outside the city..."
Qiao Qiao said disdainfully: "This is the imperial capital! I don't believe anyone dares to touch my carriage! Besides, I have so many guards with me. These people include masters from my family, and many of them were carefully guarded by Gordon." What are you afraid of?"
Ignoring Rody's refusal, Qiaoqiao simply gave the order and then closed the carriage door.
Rody was so anxious that he was sweating. He knew in his heart that a group of ordinary human warriors, even if there were more people, would probably be of little use in front of the advanced vampires. He said anxiously: "Qiaoqiao, we can't do it now. Get out of the city! The people chasing me are very powerful, but they don’t dare to do anything blatantly on the streets of the Imperial Capital! You are leaving the city so late... There are few people outside the city... "
Qiaoqiao, however, looked fearless. She had gently leaned towards Rody. She gently touched Rody's face with one hand and said softly: "Sette, why did you suddenly Are you back? Why is your hair dyed this way? I miss you every day... Have you missed me?"
Sweat was already forming on Rody's forehead. He shrank back as much as possible. Before he could speak, Qiaoqiao said softly: "I bumped into you just now. Are you okay? Are you not injured? Do you feel any pain?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears came down. She looked deeply at Rody with a pair of eyes. The resentment in her eyes seemed to break the heart: "Why have you been avoiding me? Could it be? Because of His Majesty the Emperor? ... Do you know that for you, I fought hard to resist the Emperor's advances several times, and the Emperor got angry at my sister many times. Now that he wants to marry your sister, I thought everything would be fine now. But...but tonight my sister secretly sent someone to tell me that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to...ask me to leave the city quickly. Unexpectedly, God sent you to me! This is great, we can finally be together. … I… I can see you tonight…”
Rody hesitated and just gritted his teeth and said: "Qiaoqiao... don't say this now. Please stop the carriage immediately and not leave the city! I..."
Qiao Qiao's face turned gloomy, and she said faintly: "You rejected me again... I just want you to go with me and leave the imperial capital together. Isn't that even possible! You always make excuses! Excuses! Excuses! It's so safe here, Why don't you want to be with me?"
Rody was worried about the vampires chasing after him, and he was also afraid that if he said something wrong and Qiaoqiao would see the flaw, he was already sweating profusely.
However, the carriage was very fast. In a short time, it had already left the city, followed a branch road outside the east gate, and rushed towards the northeast. The trees on both sides are getting more and more lush, and they are gradually getting away from the imperial capital.
Rody sighed and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't do this anymore... Where are we going?"
Qiao Qiao chuckled and leaned into Roddy's arms: "You are weird again. We are going to our family's northern suburbs manor. It is the most secluded place and no one can find us. And there are still many of our guards there, so you can rest assured... By the way, you haven't told me yet, why did you sneak back to the imperial capital? The guard just said you sneaked back. Death penalty, is it true? Then why did you come back? "
Rody's face turned pale, and he felt that every time he met this Miss Qiaoqiao, it gave him a huge headache. Now she asked so many questions, and they were so confusing, where could he start
After thinking about it, Rody said in a deep voice: "The people who are chasing me are Bayan's men..." He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Bayan wanted to fight for the throne and secretly joined forces with the blood clan, but I accidentally bumped into him. … I… "
Qiaoqiao's face immediately turned pale, and she screamed in fright. She grabbed Rody's arm with a pair of small hands, and pressed her body tightly against Rody's chest. She thought of the legendary green-faced fangs of the vampires sucking blood, and her body was frightened. Dei trembled slightly and whispered: "Vampire? You...how could you do this? And Bayan...he..."
Rody pushed Qiaoqiao away gently, looked into her eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Now you know, this matter must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, as well as the religious center of the Divine Sect, and His Majesty the Pope. These people are now here Chase me. Our current situation is also very dangerous... Sigh... What should we do..."
Qiao Qiao trembled: "You... where did you find Bayan... and the vampires?"
Roddy was unprepared and blurted out subconsciously: "It's the ** cave! The head of the house there, Ms. Shafei, is a high-level vampire herself!"
"What!" When Qiao Qiao heard the words "** cave", she immediately sat upright! The look that was originally trembling with fear after hearing the blood clan disappeared in an instant, and the expression on his face changed to one of anger and resentment. His eyes were round and he glared at Roddy fiercely, and shouted in a low voice. : "You! You actually went to the ** cave!!"
Before Rody could react, Qiaoqiao was already flushed with anger. He bared his teeth and claws and rushed towards Rody, scratching and biting him. He kept saying angrily: "You bastard! You! Seth, you bastard." ! You came back to the imperial capital and went to a dirty place like this!"
Qiao Qiao suddenly looked like an angry female leopard. How could she still look as timid and frightened as before
Rody didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only block the situation and said hurriedly: "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao! You... don't make trouble... I..." Finally, he couldn't help pushing Qiaoqiao away and shouted in a low voice: "Don't make such nonsense." "
Qiaoqiao was pushed away by him and fell heavily to the opposite seat. The anger on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a little bit of resentment. His eyes quickly filled with tears, and he said quietly: "Sai Special! You made me so sad! You didn’t go to the cave when you came back!”
Roddy finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and whispered: "Okay! That's enough!"
Qiaoqiao was shaken by his loud shout. Roddy looked at her and gritted his teeth: "Now is not the time to make trouble! Of course I have important things to go there! Now we are in danger, please stop making nonsense." !”
Just as Qiaoqiao was about to speak, the carriage suddenly shook violently. Qiaoqiao was unprepared and fell into Roddy's arms! The coachman outside shouted in surprise. He didn't know what happened, but the carriage suddenly stopped - as if something fell heavily on the roof of the carriage.
Rody hugged Qiaoqiao with a solemn expression on his face, and reached out to cover Qiaoqiao's mouth. Qiao Qiao also looked pale with fright. My body just kept shaking.
There was a gentle knocking sound on the top of the carriage, as if someone was knocking on the door casually, and then a woman's voice came from above, as if smiling happily: "The two little mandarin ducks inside, Have you had enough trouble? Stop hiding in there and kiss me. Don’t be shy... If you have anything to say, come out and talk to Aunt Sophie... "
Qiaoqiao was so frightened that she subconsciously pushed open the carriage door and ran out. Rody hugged her to prevent her from moving. Then he heard the frightened and angry shouts of the guards coming from outside, and the sound of swords being unsheathed.
"Who!" "Come down quickly!" "This... what is this!!"
In the voices of those guards, Shafi's long laughter has been transferred from the carriage above the two people to the ground next to the ground. Accompanied by several low and short screams from the guards...
