The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 269 The selfless and generous Madam Xu (first update)

Everyone followed the sign left by Xu Jing and moved forward quickly. Soon, a government official said in surprise: "This... this seems to be the direction to Xiangsi Cliff!"

Xiangsi Cliff is a cliff next to the Nujiang River outside Xijing City. The Nujiang River is full of mist and water, flowing from north to south on the land of Dachu. The water is deep and fast.

It is said that in the previous dynasty, a princess who was named by the Holy One to get married eloped with a child of her childhood sweetheart from an aristocratic family. She was forced to this lovesickness cliff by soldiers who were chasing her all the way. The princess felt that she had implicated her lover, and she was extremely sad. He committed suicide by jumping into the river. The son of the aristocratic family couldn't save him in time, so he also jumped in. His body has not been found yet.

Later, the people named this cliff Acacia Cliff.

Others noticed this too.

Could it be that the kidnapper is over there at Xiangsi Cliff?

There were woods over there, and there wasn't even a serious hiding place. What was he doing over there? !

On the other side, Xu Jing and Yao Shaoyin were hiding in the woods near Xiangsi Cliff, staring closely at Xiangsi Cliff not far away.

The government officials they brought were also scattered around. Just to be on the safe side, they didn't bring too many government officials here, and most of them stayed outside on standby.

It's already very cold in October, let alone at night.

And on the edge of the wind-collecting cliff, it felt as if the whole person was surrounded by the cold night wind all the time.

Yao Shaoyin, a grown man, couldn't help but rub his hands, looked at Xu Jing aside, and said worriedly: "Mrs. Xu, you are wearing such thin clothes, are you going to catch a cold?"

Xu Jing's eyes did not leave Xiangsi Cliff, and she whispered: "It's okay, we won't stay here for too long."

"But, if Mrs. Xu's guess is wrong, Yang Quanfu will not come here? After all, we have just searched the area, and we can't even see the shadow of the child."

Xu Jing said quietly: "This may not be Yang Quanfu's hiding place, but he will probably come here after he gets all the ransom."

As she spoke, she suddenly caught the faint sound of carriage wheels rolling across the road. She immediately raised her right index finger to her lips, lowered her voice and said, "Here we come!"

Yao Shaoyin straightened up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

No, Madam Xu really guessed it right!

Not long after they waited, they saw a small and simple carriage coming on the only path in the forest leading to the Acacia Cliff. The man sitting in the driver's seat was who if it wasn't Yang Quanfu!

But I saw him with a stern face, driving the carriage all the way to the cliff. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping the carriage, the carriage was getting closer and closer to the cliff. Yao Shaoyin's eyes opened wider and wider, and he almost stopped. It kept popping up.

This Yang Quanfu didn't want to drive the carriage directly down the cliff!

However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Madam Xu standing motionless. Although he was puzzled, he suppressed his emotions.

Seeing that the carriage finally stopped less than six feet (two meters) away from the cliff, Yao Shaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next breath, Yang Quanfu jumped down, suddenly opened the carriage door, leaned in and seemed to be picking up something, Yao Shaoyin's heart was lifted high again.

Immediately, he watched Yang Quanfu carry down bags of gold bars one after another, eight large bags in total! Then they were piled neatly on the edge of the cliff.

After doing all this, he leaned into the carriage again. This time, the people he picked up were clearly two eight or nine-year-old children who were tied up and even their mouths were gagged!

He actually brought two hostages over!

This was an unexpected surprise. He originally thought that he would have to follow Yang Quanfu back to his hiding place to find the two children.

But seeing the two children looking at Yang Quanfu with tears in their eyes and fear on their faces, Xu Hanguang was even more excited, making a "Uh-huh" sound with all his strength, as if he wanted to say something.

Yang Quanfu didn't even look at them. After tying them to the carriage with the ropes on their bodies, he turned around and walked to the gold bars. He looked down at the Nu River below for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he took a step back, lifted his foot hard, and with a loud "plop", a bag full of gold bars fell into the rolling river.

Yao Shaoyin's eyes almost popped out.

This...this is all real gold!

Just such a bag of gold bars is enough to make the world go crazy.

Yang Quanfu actually kicked it into the river!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Quanfu continued to kick bag after bag of gold bars piled on the edge of the cliff.

Although it was not his own gold, Yao Shaoyin still felt distressed subconsciously and couldn't help but look at Madam Xu aside.

They ambush the people around them and have the best archers.

Under the current situation, it would not be difficult for their men to shoot Yang Quanfu.

However, this place was discovered by Xu Jing, and the ambush nearby was also deployed by Xu Jing. Yao Shaoyin had to decide when Yao Shaoyin wanted to act.

Seeing that Xu Jing was silent for a long time, Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but approach her and whispered: "Ms. Xu, why don't you take action? At present, it seems that he did not bring any other accomplices, and the two children are some distance away from him, so this is the best action. Chance."

Originally, they were worried that Yang Quanfu would come with other accomplices. The moment he kicked the gold bars into the river, Yao Shaoyin was sure that there were no of his accomplices around!

If any of his accomplices saw him wasting the ransom he had finally obtained, why wouldn't they turn against him on the spot? !

Xu Jing took her time and said, "Observe for a while longer."

After seeing Yang Quanfu kicking the last bag of gold bars into the river, Xu Jing suddenly stood up, raised her hand and said, "Act now!"

Yao Shaoyin on the side: "..."

How could he have the feeling that Madam Xu did it on purpose?

No, no, no, those people in the Xu family treated Madam Xu like this, and Madam Xu wholeheartedly rescued Xu Hanguang. How could he think of such a selfless and generous woman with such dark thoughts?

Yang Quanfu reacted quickly. The moment Xu Jing's voice came out, he turned around suddenly with a look of surprise on his face.

The next breath, there was only a small sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air. An arrow was shot from the forest nearby, heading straight towards Yang Quanfu.

At the critical moment, Yang Quanfu avoided the vital position, and the arrow finally shot into his left shoulder.

The moment Xu Jing spoke, in addition to the arrows shot, two government officials also ran out from both sides of the forest and quickly moved towards the two children.

However, when they were still a few steps away from the two children, Yang Quanfu had already reacted. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and pointed at the two children. Xu Hanguang rushed over.

Xu Hanguang's face was pale and full of fear. He subconsciously took a step back, grabbed Wang Baojun beside him, and pushed him towards Yang Quanfu.

The next moment, the two government officials arrived. Seeing that Wang Baojun was controlled by Yang Quanfu, they could only use a knife to cut the rope tied to Xu Hanguang and pull him over.

Finally, he watched helplessly as Yang Quanfu held Wang Baojun hostage and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.
