Chapter 217 Asking for Punishment
After Xu Jiao finished speaking, He Lianshu didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly and deeply with such a pair of eyes, Xu Jiao was inexplicably looked at, and smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"

He Lianshu's answer was to approach her suddenly, and at the same time he raised his hand to wrap around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Xu Jiao was slightly taken aback, and just as he moved, he heard his voice hoarse, "Don't move! Let me hold you for a while!"

Xu Jiao obediently said "oh", then she really didn't move, and let him hold her.

After a while, He Lianshu let her go, and saw her tilting her head, eyebrows and eyes, pink lips curled up, smiling at him like a flower, "Have you hugged enough?"

He Lianshu paused, really didn't know whether he should be annoyed or ashamed, being looked at by her, he couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "Narrow ghost!"

It's not scolding, but a pet name, full of helplessness and pampering.

Xu Jiao wrinkled his nose at him, but the next moment he lowered his body, stretched out his arms, wrapped around his waist, and rubbed his cheek against his chest, "You've had enough hugs, it's time for me to hug him." .” He said, closing his eyes.

He Lianshu stretched out his hand, pressed it gently on the top of her head, and gently stroked her hair with his palm, "Ajiao, I will protect you, if anything happens in the future, please remember to tell me. "

Xu Jiao nodded against his chest, "Got it." She knew he had something on his mind, but he didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask.

He Lianshu still had important matters to attend to, so he talked with Xu Jiao for a while, and then went back first.

It happened to be the end of the month, and Xu Jiao stayed in Tongji again to settle the account with Donna for this month.

When I came out from Tongji, it was already snowing.This snow has been brewing for a long time. It has been a lead cloud since yesterday, and the north wind was all night last night, and it finally started to fall at this time.

At the moment the snowflakes are neither big nor dense, but seeing how dark the sky is, it will be uncertain after a while.

Uncle Sheng sat on the shaft of the car with his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid the snow will fall heavily soon, we have to go back quickly."

Naturally, Xu Jiao had no objection. Holding Xue's hand, the master and servant got into the carriage one by one.

After sitting down, Uncle Sheng flicked the reins, and the carriage wobbled away from Tongji's gate.

As usual, Xu Jiao and Ling Xue were chatting softly in the swaying carriage, but unexpectedly, they heard a whistle in their ears.The whistling sound was peculiar, like the screams of birds and beasts, it was not so abrupt, and it would not attract people's attention.

But both Xu Jiao and Neg Xue are very sensitive to this voice.

"What's going on?" Xu Jiao frowned, and asked in a low voice, with a sudden look of worry in his eyes.

"I don't know." Negative Xue shook her head, knowing that Xu Jiao was worried about He Lianshu who had left before, and she hurriedly said, "Princess don't worry, it should be just sending some news! Well, with so many masters under his command, nothing will happen easily."

Just because nothing will happen easily, doesn't mean nothing will happen.Wasn't he assassinated in the street last time and seriously injured?

Xu Jiao frowned tightly, unable to rest assured, facing Xuedao, "Go and have a look."

The carriage stopped on the way, and Neg Xue found an excuse and walked away.The carriage started to wobble again.

Xu Jiao's heart also kept shaking with the carriage.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped slowly.Is that it?

Xu Jiao frowned, but didn't hear any movement outside, why didn't the uncle call her when he arrived?

"Uncle Sheng, you..." Xu Jiao asked as he lifted the curtain of the car and leaned out.

He raised his eyes but was taken aback.This is not Jingfu at all.

The carriage stopped in front of a strange dead end, but Uncle Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

The snow fell even heavier, and the flakes were as big as goose feathers, floating freely between the sky and the earth.

Xu Jiao's ears suddenly stood up, and when the sound of soft footsteps reached her ears, she pulled out the short dagger in her hand, turned around, but before she could stab it, behind her was He suddenly stretched out a hand again, and tightly covered her mouth and nose with a towel with medicinal fragrance.

Xu Jiao struggled with all her strength, but she was no match in the end. The drug got into her nasal cavity, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. Before she sank into the darkness, the last image in her blurred vision was the figure of a man in black, with her head and face covered, and only The next pair of eyes that can't see clearly.

At nightfall, He Lianshu returned to Helian Mansion, who knows, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, he saw two people kneeling upright at the gate.As soon as He Lianshu's eyes touched those two people, his complexion immediately changed, and his cold eyes turned into swords like ice, swishing towards the two of them.

"What's the matter with you?" When Su Le saw those two people, he already felt that something was wrong, and when he saw He Lianshu's face, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and hurried forward to ask.

The two people kneeling in front of them were wearing the same black clothes, they were Wenzhi and Wenchou.The faces of the two were full of color, and their expressions were a little disturbed. When Su Le asked, the two looked at each other anxiously, and Wen Zhi said, "The subordinates deserve death for failing to protect the princess. Your Majesty will punish you."

When the words fell, both of them knocked their heads heavily on the ground.

All around, deathly silence.

The snow is falling even more.The ground seemed to be frozen like ice, both Wen Zhi and Wen Cho felt the biting cold and wanted to shiver at the same time.

Su Le's heart sank, he turned his head to look at He Lianshu's face, and said to Wen Zhi and Wen Zhi in a low voice, "What's going on? Tell me!"

Wen Zhi touched his forehead to the ground, not daring to delay, and said in a difficult tone, "Just now the princess came out of Tongji, and his subordinates guarded him secretly like in the past. At the appointed time, Lingxue got off the carriage halfway, presumably to look for the wolf whistle, and the subordinates will remember the command of the lord, not to show up at will when it is not in an emergency, when he is hesitating, a group of men in black are It came from nowhere and surrounded the two subordinates."

"They're all stubble." Wen Cho took over the conversation with a hoarse voice, and continued, "My subordinates and Wen Zhi fought with them, and I couldn't see their martial arts skills, but I could tell that their skills were comparable to those of my subordinates. Xia and Wenzhi are brothers, but there are more than twenty people. But they didn't kill us, they just held us back."

"When we got away and went to look for the princess, we only saw the princess's carriage and the handlebars of her being knocked to the ground in a dead end not far away, but the princess was nowhere to be found."

"The surrounding traces have been cleaned up, and there is no trace left."

"The subordinates don't dare to delay, so they can only hurry back and plead guilty to Mr. Lang."

Wen Zhi and Wen Choo relayed the whole story in a few words, as if the heavy snow was falling on their hearts.

On the way back, they had already made up their minds. Last time they were each fined twenty army sticks. This time the matter was even more serious. Even if the Lord did not punish them, they would have no face to live on.Lost the princess, they are afraid that they can only apologize with death.
