Taohuaxi

Chapter 72
My hand paused for a moment.

Finally slowly let go.

Or bandits have their own rules for doing things.

It was unknown that the one-eyed dragon wanted to place me somewhere else first to avoid human eyes and ears.

Since he promised me to take this business, and now he has sent someone as promised, I shouldn't worry too much.Since you believe it, why doubt it?Just follow their arrangements.

I said: "Thank you for your hard work, heroes."

There was no sound outside the sedan again.

The people carrying the sedan chair ran faster and faster.

There was the sound of wind blowing in my ears.

For some reason, I faintly smelled the smell of Akino tea.

The taste is familiar yet strange.

It seems to be very close to me, but also seems to be far away from me.I caught some elusive breath in the vagueness.

Thinking about the past is empty.

I am just a person who stands by the green water and sighs, "I was once the shadow of a stunning star."

Even if there is Akino Tea, it will not have anything to do with him.

Disappearing is the most decisive farewell.he's gone.Leave me.Won't happen again.The sudden heavy rain that day extinguished the fire in Taohua Temple, but only saved his life, but not his heart.

I leaned on the sedan chair and unconsciously recited: "The most ruthless willows in Taicheng are still smoke-filled embankments ten miles away."

The sedan shook violently.

"Sangyu! Sangyu!"

A familiar cry, coming from far away, pulled me back from my endless thoughts.

It was Qin Mingxu's voice.

He has returned from the capital and is chasing the sedan!

The people carrying the sedan heard the shouts.

Sudden.

"Bang" sound.

The sedan fell to the ground.

The hoarse voice sounded again: "Let's go!"

The people carrying the sedan let go.

Several people ran away.

When I opened the sedan curtain, they had already run away.I could only vaguely see their backs.

too weird.

Qin Mingxu is here, why are the bandits running away?

Could it be that they thought I was playing a trick, letting them come to snatch the bride while secretly communicating with the government to catch them?
Should not be ah.

The bandits knew all the wealthy households in Yangzhou, so they knew that Qin Mingxu was the owner of Tiansheng Tower, and that he and the people he brought were not from the government.

In a moment, Qin Mingxu rushed to my sedan chair.

"Sang Yu, don't be afraid, I'm coming."

I looked around, and within a moment, the sedan stopped at Chongde Lane.

Qin Mingxu was dusty and tired, he must have been traveling for a long time.There was sweat on his forehead because of anxiety.

Several men he brought lifted the sedan.

"On my way back from Beijing, I encountered a royal tribute ship coming from the south. The patrol on the canal was extremely strict, and every passenger ship avoided it. Hurry up and hurry up, it's still too late. As soon as I arrived in Yangzhou, I went to Zhu's Mansion to look for you. Listen. Xifeng told me about Uncle Zheng Guo's forced marriage, and he immediately led his men to chase him. Sang Yu, I frightened you." His eyes were full of self-blame, and he explained to me in a panic.

"Mingxu, it would be great if you can come back safely."

I asked: "Has the letter been delivered?"

He nodded.

I felt a little relieved and asked again: "Has Mr. Feng Chang been released from prison?"

Before he could answer me, he heard the sound of weapons.

One-eyed dragon rushed over with a group of bandits.

The one-eyed dragon saw me and shouted to his men: "Brothers, come on! Take the sedan back to the village!"

I was stunned for a moment.

Why are they here?

Then who was the person who just snatched the bride in Yijiangmen?

When Qin Mingxu saw the bandits coming to snatch the bride, he quickly ordered his servants: "Carry the sedan back to the Qin Mansion!"

The two gangs fought.

Chaos.

Chaos.

Total mess.

I shouted: "Mingxu, stop it! The boss is the one I called!"

Unfortunately, my voice was masked by the fierce fighting.

One-Eyed Dragon thought that Qin Mingxu was the one who married me, took people's money, and helped people out of trouble. He agreed to help me and went all out.

Qin Mingxu thought that the one-eyed dragon was someone hired by Uncle Zheng Guo, and he tried his best to rescue me, drive away the bandits, and keep me safe.

It was much later that I found out the reason for today's own incident.

One-eyed dragons act cautiously.He will definitely do what he promises.However, bandits are defensive and worried about fraud.They did not show up at the "Yijiangmen" location I mentioned in advance.Instead, he was guarding Chongde Lane not far away, waiting for the opportunity.

But, at this time, I didn't know about it.I thought about it for a while in the sedan chair and guessed that the family snatchers who appeared in Yijiangmen were the same group as the one-eyed dragon.I thought there was something fishy about the bandits coming back again and again.

The bandits were used to fighting, and Qin Mingxu and his party quickly fell into the trap.

Qin Mingxu came prepared.He winked at a short and capable servant.

The servant quickly took out something from his arms, rubbed the fire sickle, and lit it.

Smoke spreads out.

Qin Mingxu led a group of people and continued to struggle with the bandits.And the short and capable servant, with one person, lifted up the sedan chair and ran away under the cover of smoke.My heart is hanging.

It's like being in a whirlpool, getting deeper and deeper with no exit.

I turned to look at Qin Mingxu.

He happened to look at me too.

Through the smoke, his face seemed different.

His right hand, which had been hit by wolfsbane before, hung down helplessly.He used his remaining intact left hand to resist.His figure is upright and fearless.

The distance is getting farther and farther.

I thought I saw someone getting into the smoke to help him.However, I can no longer see clearly who is coming.

The sedan chair was carried to the Qin Mansion.

All the servants in the Qin Mansion stood with their hands down and treated me with great respect.

The short and capable servant said: "I haven't met the new lady yet!"

The group of servants knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Greetings to the new lady!"

The words of the servant, the wedding clothes on my body, and the sedan chair I was sitting on all gave the people in the Qin Mansion a wrong message: I am the newly married wife of Qin Mingxu, the head of the Qin Mansion.

I hesitated, wondering whether I should get out of the sedan chair.If I entered the Qin Mansion like this now, it would probably be difficult to explain clearly.

I said to the servant: "Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing."

The short and capable servant leaned over and said respectfully: "Listen to the new lady and stop talking nonsense."

This……

I simply kept my mouth shut and said nothing.

About half an hour later, Qin Mingxu came back.

"Sangyu, Sangyu—"

He hurried to the sedan and looked at me: "Are you not hurt?"

I shook my head: "I'm fine. What about you? Are you injured? Where are the bandits?"

He was surprised and said: "At that moment, a few righteous men suddenly rushed over to help, but somehow, the bandits all retreated. I was about to thank those few righteous men, but they ran away without a trace. Chongde The alley is in chaos, and they all have their faces covered. I can’t find anyone, and I don’t know who they are. There’s nowhere to go to thank them.”

Qin Mingxu is an open-minded person who is willing to do good and charity.At the critical moment, it may be reasonable for someone in the city to take action secretly.

At this time, I had no time to find out who the "righteous man" who suddenly appeared and then left suddenly was.

I'm going to tell him about going to the mountain to invite bandits that night and the weirdness of today's situation.Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves not far away——

Sitting on the horse was a man wearing a gold silk official uniform, with a golden badge hanging around his waist.

I saw the face of the visitor clearly, and tears burst out of my eyes immediately.

I got off the sedan chair and stumbled over: "Bean sprouts——"

The horse is near.

He climbed down from the horse and held my hand: "Sister."

Thousands of words are contained in these two words.

Qin Mingxu returned by water.Although Feng Gao set off a few days later, he and Qin Mingxu arrived together because they traveled overland on horseback.

I looked at him, and there were a few scars on his thin, beautiful face. Before the scabs could form, the flesh and blood turned out, just like a few messy red scars splashed on a delicate flower paper.Beautiful yet desolate.

I reached out and stroked his face: "Douzhao, you are suffering again."

He smiled: "It's nothing. It doesn't hurt at all. Sister, don't be frightened by these injuries. I'm just putting on a show so that others can see."

"The Queen Mother and Your Majesty forgive you?"

"Ah."

"Has Concubine Zheng..." I asked.

He shook his head: "Concubine Zheng is fine. But His Majesty has issued an edict to make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince. The affairs of the Tian family cannot be explained clearly with two words: 'right and wrong'."

Yes, there is no "right and wrong" in the royal family, only "pros and cons".

The Queen Mother may not have presented the evidence to Banzai at all, but just used it to make a deal with Concubine Zheng.

What is a transaction?Exchange what is yours for that of another, each getting what he needs.

The Queen Mother got what she wanted.

Concubine Zheng also knew how to use the slope to get off the donkey.

Everything has trade-offs.

Anyway, Douya has been released from prison, and my wish has been achieved. What do those things have to do with me?
"The Zheng family has lost the letter. Concubine Zheng will definitely punish Zheng Tai. Sister, I believe that he will not harass you again. The crown prince has been established, Concubine Zheng and the Zheng family will restrain themselves in the future." Feng Gaodao said.

"I hope so."

"Sister, I did something for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother promised me..."

Feng Gao stopped talking, thought for a while, and asked: "By the way, did my sister find someone to do it for the letter? It's too risky."

I said, "Mingxu sent it to me."

"Oh?" Feng Gao was a little surprised.

At this time, Zhu Xifeng came jumping up and down.

When he saw Qin Mingxu, he was very happy and shouted: "Brother-in-law!"

Feng Gao paused after hearing this title.

He noticed the wedding dress on my body, Qin Mingxu standing not far away, and the burning light in Qin Mingxu's eyes.

Zhu Xifeng said to Qin Mingxu: "Brother-in-law, thank you! According to me, you are more sincere to my sister than that bullshit Uncle Zheng Guo. My sister should get married to you!"

Feng Gao looked at the sedan chair and Qin Mingxu.

A rain last night washed the sky crystal clear.

In early May, Jiangnan is red, green and green, with trees surrounding the house and lush vegetation.The bird is enjoying itself in the jungle.

After a long time, Feng Gao said lightly: "Master Qin, if you want to marry your sister like this, is it too easy?"

Qin Mingxu was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Feng Gao's words and was overjoyed.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "If you marry Sang Yu, you will definitely be dressed in red makeup, with a phoenix crown and a beautiful robe."
