Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 85 Captive
"Okay, it really is the general..."

The man laughed, and when he had had enough, he raised the sword in his hand and pointed at him.

"I know I'm going to die today, but I was entrusted by others, and it's a matter of loyalty. I hope you will see me for letting your wife and children go, and don't go after my wife and children."

Lu Xiaowen nodded, he has always had revenge, if it is found out that his wife and children are clean and not involved in this matter...he will not embarrass them.

Seeing him nodding, the man shouted, "You must keep your word!"

After saying that, he immediately reversed the direction of the sword in his hand and pierced his chest.

Shocked by the sudden change, Lu Xiaowen quickly came to his senses and hurried forward to check on his injuries.

"Why did you kill yourself?" Lu Xiaowen frowned, clearly agreeing to his request just now.

"Xiang Yu doesn't want...to kill himself in the Wujiang River. Cough," the man's voice was weak, but he could hold on for a while, "Although I'm not a great hero, but... I still have integrity."

Perhaps these words touched Lu Xiaowen's heart, and his brows moved slightly.

Seeing that his behavior was not enough of a threat, Lu Xiaowen bent down, trying to take off his mask.

The man didn't struggle and didn't speak anymore.

Quietly, with eyes closed, only the sound of breathing remained.

The moment Lu Xiaowen touched his face scarf, the man suddenly opened his eyes and puffed up, and instantly pulled out a dagger from his right hand that was under him, and with the last of his strength, stabbed it deeply into Lu Xiaowen's left chest.

"General Lu, I have been entrusted by others, I am loyal to you..."

That man was really going to die, and after leaving such a sentence, he closed his eyes forever.

He deliberately committed suicide to lure him over, and then tried his best to kill him.

Although the wound on the left chest was not fatal, it left a lot of blood, and the dizziness caused by the loss of blood made him stagger.

In the wilderness, he could simply press the wound tightly with a clean cloth to stop the trickling blood.

The coachman drove He Shaoguang and the three of them wildly all the way. After the final crisis, He Shaoguang also recovered some strength.

Getting up from the ground and leaning on the wall of the car, He Shaoguang asked, "Old Liu, how long will it take to arrive?"

The coachman did not answer.

He Shaoguang thought he didn't hear, so he opened the curtain to ask again.

When she opened the curtain, what jumped into her eyes was a completely unfamiliar scene, not the way they came from at all.

"Are we going back to Zhuangzi?" He Shaoguang had a bad feeling, swallowed and asked him.

"Yes, ma'am."

The driver is not the old Liu who sent them off just now.

Under the lowered brim of the hat, an unfamiliar face was grinning at her and answering.

"Ah...Okay." He Shaoguang forced himself to calm down and retreated into the carriage.

"Mother, are we almost there? When will father come to see us?" Lu Mingzhen's small face was full of worry.

"Mom, you sweat a lot, let me wipe it off for you."

Lu Mingyan noticed something was wrong with He Shaoguang, and by wiping his sweat, he leaned into He Shaoguang's ear and asked softly, "Is that the group of people outside?"

He Shaoguang grabbed Lu Mingyan's hand tightly, causing him pain.

She didn't say a word just now because she saw a short knife with a cold light pinned to the waist of the fake driver.

If she yelled, the short knife would be on her throat right now?
"For a while, you have to listen to your mother, you know?" He Shaoguang's mind was also blank, with unknown danger ahead, and Lu Xiaowen still not knowing about safety.

In case he went to Zhuangzi and couldn't find them, He Shaoguang wanted to secretly leave some marks along the road to remind him.

So she secretly took the hairpins and accessories on her body, Lu Mingyan and Lu Mingzhen's purses, hairbands and other recognizable items, secretly lifted the curtain behind the car, and threw things into the grass on the side of the road.

Some traces are left every few miles, and I hope he can find them soon.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

He Shaoguang, who had kept his eyes closed all this time thinking about countermeasures, suddenly opened them, anxiously waiting for the man to move, not knowing where he was.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the fake coachman was wearing the clothes of the original coachman, squinting and looking at them.

"what are you going to do?"

He Shaoguang looked up at him with an indifferent expression, making himself look not afraid.

"Of course it is to find a place to protect your wife and the general's sons and daughters."

The counterfeit coachman smiled happily: "Don't worry, I will release you when General Lu finds you. But before that, please be honest and don't try to run away, otherwise... my knife But not long-sighted."

The coachman took out a bundle of thick hemp rope from nowhere, tied the three of them up and down firmly, and lifted them out like a bunch of candied haws.

Very humiliating, but life-saving is the most important thing.Enduring the pain, He Shaoguang quickly looked around: this place is desolate, surrounded by mountains on three sides, a small dilapidated temple is built here, the Buddha statue is dilapidated, covered with a thick layer of dirt, it seems that no one has been here for a long time.

There are no fresh tributes in front of the Buddha statues, but rotten and maggot-like fruits.

I don't know how this person found this place, threw them in, and tied the other end of the rope to the foot of an unknown one of the eighteen arhats.

It was uncomfortable to be stared at by the arhats, the man hurried away for a while, Lu Mingzhen couldn't help crying out of fear.

He Shaoguang couldn't use his hands and feet, so he could only wait for her to cry for a long time before approaching and comforting her softly: "Don't be afraid, Miss Zhen, my brother and mother are here. When my father comes, I can go home."

Lu Mingzhen cried for a while, and gradually stopped crying, sobbing and huddled between Lu Mingyan and He Shaoguang.

Lu Mingzhen blinked: "Can father find this place?"

"Uh...we left so many clues, should we be able to?" In fact, she was also a little uncertain, what if Lu Xiaowen couldn't find it?
"No, father will definitely come." Lu Mingyan said firmly.

He had just heard the man say, let them go when their father comes, which proves that their only target is the father, and they are just bargaining chips.

So, even if the father didn't know they were here, that person would try every means to lure him here.

He Shaoguang nodded, Lu Mingyan's analysis should be good.

As for who these people are?Does Lu Xiaowen have any enemies in Beijing who know his whereabouts so well?
Feel like my head is going to explode.

The man came back quickly and didn't give them any more alone time.

Carrying a bunch of grass and trees, he came towards them.

It turned out that he had found some clean grass and laid it on the ground for rest.

I didn't expect this person to be quite professional, and he treated the hostages so humanely.

He Shaoguang raised his head and smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you..."

The man was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why He Shaoguang wanted to thank him, and he kept moving his hands.

I saw him take off the straw sandals and go to the laid mat, feel for a piece of tobacco, throw it into his mouth and chew it.

Thought he was He Shaoguang for the three of them: ...
