Another pot of hot shou peaches was baked, and the white smoke with a sweet smell spread in the shed, like fog in the early morning.

A group of beggars hurriedly came over, looking at the longevity peach in the steamer, even if the smoke was heavy, it was difficult to hide their bright eyes, it seemed that they had not eaten a full meal for several days.

Although the capital is the most prosperous place in the Great Zhou, there are also people who become beggars for various reasons. There are no beggars in the capital to beg on the streets, so these beggars generally wander around the square, and many of them live in abandoned houses in the south of the city.

"Don't worry, everyone has a longevity peach to eat." Xue Jinyi's gentle laughter sounded in the smoke, "Be careful that it's too hot now, where it hurts." ”

Most of them understood this, except for a few beggars who were still pushing and shoving.

"Woo woo princess is good, the villain hasn't eaten for many days, please give the villain a few more longevity peaches."

"Princess, my children are starving to the bones, please be kind!"

"Woo woo, it doesn't matter if we starve to death, the child is still so young that he can't die......"

Amid the noise of chirping, a small child was pushed to the front.

Xue Jinyi hurriedly reached out to support the child to prevent him from hitting the hot steamer and getting burned.

"Kid, are you alright?" She asked softly.

The child looked up, and under the messy hair was a small face full of dirt, which set off the brightness and clarity of a pair of large eyes, but now these eyes shone brighter with tears.

"Woo woo big sister, I'm hungry, I'm hungry......" The child cried, and wanted to throw himself into Xue Jinyi's arms, "Please, big sister, just give me a small bite, a small bite is fine......"

The child's cry was sharp and miserable, and the heart trembled when he heard it, and sympathy arose spontaneously.

Xue Jinyi looked around, except for the hot shou peaches, they were all raw rice noodles, where is there anything that can be eaten now?

She half-squatted down, caressing the child's face, tears mixed with dirt on the little face, she quickly took out her own handkerchief, wiped the child's face, and coaxed: "Little friend, be good, as long as you wait a little longer, there will be longevity peaches to eat." Look, my sister will show you a little trick first, okay? When you're done, you can eat the longevity peach. ”

The child blinked his eyes and looked at the handkerchief in Xue Jinyi's hand in puzzlement.

"It's a veil now, and there's nothing, right?" Xue Jinyi unfolded the veil in front of the child, and after showing him the front and back, she smiled and said, "Wait a minute, my sister turned it into a little mouse." ”

"Mouse?" The child was even more confused.

"That's right." Xue Jinyi spread the handkerchief on her knees, "Look, let's ...... the handkerchief like this first."

Most of the people looked at it curiously, their eyes full of anticipation.

However, there are still some beggars who are shouting.

"Let's not watch tricks, we want to eat longevity peaches!"

"The princess won't be reluctant to give us beggars a peach to eat, right?"

"Yes, yes, we are all the lowest people, how can we be willing to ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the princess are such kind people, how can they not give you longevity peaches to eat?"

"I didn't see the heat in the steamer, do you want to burn to death?"

The shed became noisy because of the noise.

The child cried again, screaming and drilling into Xue Jinyi's arms, almost pushing her down.

"Quick, let's go grab the longevity peach!"

With this cry, the beggars rushed to the steamer, and there was suddenly some chaos in the shed, and the people of the Chu Wangfu hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Princess, be careful, don't let him run into you!"

There were also people who came over and blocked in front of Xue Jinyi and the children.

Xue Jinyi hurriedly escorted the child to retreat, raised her eyes to look at the heads of people moving in the shed, and under the instigation of words and deeds, the beggars were enthusiastic and rushed to the steamer, for fear that they would be too late to take a few more.

The people of the royal palace were mixed in, trying their best to maintain order.

Fortunately, this kind of scene had been prepared for a long time, so the people of the palace were very well-trained to disperse the excited crowd, and the scene began to develop in a good direction.

In the blink of an eye, she quickly found Pu Yangxuan.

He was standing a few paces away from him, separated by three beggars struggling with the people who kept order.

They looked at each other and smiled.

After the next blink, Xue Jinyi noticed that Pu Yangxuan's eyes had changed, and then she sensed a murderous aura.

She looked at the person who had protected her and the child from the chaotic crowd by feeling, and slowly raised his head, his greasy hair mixed with dead grass falling down, covering most of his face, but he couldn't stop the murderous eyes.

"Die, Xue Jinyi!"

The man roared, took out an equally bright dagger from his ragged clothes, and stabbed at Xue Jinyi!

Xue Jinyi hugged the child and hurried back.

The child seemed to be frightened, "Wow" and cried loudly, and grabbed the corner of Xue Jinyi's clothes suddenly.

She felt her body sink, and her body, which was originally as light as a swallow, seemed to be tied to a heavy sandbag, and her body and steps became extremely sluggish.

The man pressed on, and the sharp blade slashed like lightning!

Seeing that the blade was approaching, Xue Jinyi's heart suddenly lifted, but at this moment she felt a sense of relief, this is complicated and wonderful, obviously the deadly danger is in front of her, but she feels that she will be fine.

It's going to be fine.

The child hung like a sandbag on her body, and she could no longer retreat with agility, the blade was already close at hand, and she was probably within half a finger's distance of her eyes.

Xue Jinyi could even clearly see the tip of the knife, and could imagine what it would look like if this thing pierced her eyeball.

At this moment of lightning, time seemed to stand still.

The tip of the knife was right in front of her, and the next blink might pierce her eye, but before it could be done, the tip of the knife couldn't go any further.

Xue Jinyi blinked slowly.

Time does not stand still.

Immediately after, the tip of the knife suddenly pulled away from the man in front of her.

"Ah" screamed in pain, and in front of her eyes, the agile and neat figure broke the man's arm twice and pressed it to the ground.

"Jingle", the dagger fell to the ground, the sunlight fell on it, and the light refracted was still cold and sharp, shaking over Xue Jinyi's eyes.

She blinked again, saw the person in front of her clearly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

"Xuan." Xue Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that she would definitely be fine.
