Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 226

"Then, are you okay?" Yao Cunhui suddenly became nervous, and held Xu Wanzhu's hand tightly.

Xu Wanzhu's eyes were still cold and clear, she shook her head with a sneer and said, "If anything happened, I would have been headbutted to death a long time ago! There is no way to live, if a person wants to die, there are ways!"

"It's good that you're fine!" Yao Cunhui breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Xu Wanzhu's body was a little precarious, he helped her to sit down carefully, leaning against a wall, and said softly, "Cousin, don't worry, we will be able to escape of."

Xu Wanzhu stared at her for a while, then said with a sneer: "Escape? What place do you think this is! Don't say that you can't get out of this prison or this cottage, even if you go out, there is only one dead end in the wilderness! Yes, how did you get here?"

Yao Cunhui smiled wryly, "Yao's family transported military rations to the Western Regions. I was one of the entourage. The mountain road was blocked last night and I had to camp in the valley. I was kidnapped here without paying attention. Cousin, since these people didn't kill me , I guess it's mostly for money, we must have a way."

Moreover, shopkeeper Lin and the others will not leave them alone.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Wanzhu glanced at her, and said coldly: "In this way, you are much more unlucky than me. There must be a lot of people accompanying you, right? You are the one who was kidnapped!"

"Who told me that I have no strength to restrain a chicken and I am the second lady of the Yao family rice shop!" Yao Cunhui spread his hands with a wry smile, turned his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But this also shows that they are asking for money. Cousin, don't worry, as long as I If I can go, I will definitely not leave my cousin behind!"

Xu Wanzhu obviously didn't believe her words, so he sneered back again and again, stretched his legs without hesitation, leaned loosely on the mottled and peeling dirt wall, looked at her and said: "What if the other party asks for a price of one hundred and eighty thousand silver? You can save it too." Me? Let me tell you clearly, even if you save me, I will not be grateful to you! Not at all!"

Yao Cunhui shook his head: "I don't want you to thank me. After we go out, I'll ask someone to take you home!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll ruin your reputation if I go out?" Xu Wanzhu looked at Yao Cunhui coldly, his sharp eyes seemed to look straight into her heart, showing that he was already broken.

Anyway, her life has been stained, she ran away from home, was a human trafficker, and was a den of bandits, one more is not too much, and one less is not much, it doesn't matter to her anymore.

But Yao Cunhui is different, as long as the arrangement is proper, this matter can be hidden from the world.Xu Wanzhu believed that with Yao Cunhui's means, it would not be very difficult to conceal this stain in his life forever.But if there was an additional uncertain factor like her, the matter would not be completely in her hands!

"Go out and talk about it!" Yao Cunhui smiled wryly, and the two of them looked at Xu Wanzhu helplessly and pitifully: "Cousin Wan'er wouldn't push me to such a desperate situation, would she?"

"..." Xu Wanzhu widened her eyes in astonishment. She couldn't believe that Yao Cunhui would show such a look of begging for weakness in front of her one day. She was subconsciously at a loss. snorted.

Suddenly dull footsteps sounded in the distance, and the two of them looked terrified, subconsciously tightened their bodies and shut their mouths, and looked towards the door at the same time.

"Both of you, come out!" The door was opened by a middle-aged stout man wearing a green cloth bunt, beard, and a purple face. He gave Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu a cold look with his dark eyes.Behind him were two little Luoluos wearing headscarves and daggers pinned to their waists.

The sound of iron chains striking each other was sharp and monotonous, adding a bit of heart-pounding power to this gloomy prison, Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu couldn't help their hearts pounding.Xu Wanzhu's face suddenly turned pale, and her pupils were full of fear, Yao Cunhui quickly grabbed her arm, and then helped her to stand up.

"Let's go!" The bearded man was very satisfied with the deterrence he brought, and he gave Xu Wanzhu a disgusted look, his gaze wished to turn into a sharp knife to kill her.

The two supported each other, stumbled and followed the bearded man out of the prison, followed by the two little Luo Luos without saying a word.

Passing through the long underground passage, the heavy wooden prison door opened, and the eyes were brightly lit. The two of them subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes and closed them. It took a while for them to open slowly.

The long-lost fresh air rushed towards the face, the breeze blowing by carried the smell of grass leaves and trees, and the bright sunshine was just above their heads.

Yao Cunhui held Xu Wanzhu's hand tightly again, and nodded encouragingly.

The two were taken to the hall of the cottage. A man in navy blue cloth was sitting on a big tiger-skin chair. The man had a slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad forehead. He stared at them sharply.Next to him on the left and right, sat a similarly dressed man, who seemed to be the second master, third master or something like that.

"Come here, beat this woman up for me!" Before the first master could speak, Yao Cunhui guessed that the second master pointed at Xu Wanzhu, and ordered loudly and unceremoniously, his tone was full of strong hostility.It seems that he has a lot of resentment towards his elder brother who was stabbed by this woman who knows what to do.

"Yes!" Immediately there was a thunderous voice, and the confidants standing behind him immediately stepped out, strode over and raised their hands to beat him.

"Don't hit her!" Yao Cunhui didn't expect these people to be so savage, and they dared to do so in front of the head of the family. In desperation, he subconsciously hugged Xu Wanzhu in front of him, and there was a crisp "pa", and her face was hit immediately. one time.

Everyone was shocked, Xu Wanzhu was also stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with a touch of complexity.

The second master gave a grotesque smile, glanced at his elder brother, then at Yao Cunhui, and finally cast a glance at Xu Wanzhu, pointing at her and said strangely: "Could it be that this vixen knows magic tricks? Why did the two of you stay locked up all night?" , Miss Yao's family also made her crazy, she is willing to be beaten for nothing!"

The master's face changed, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Since you know that I'm a young lady of the Yao family, that's the best. If you have anything to say, you may as well get to the point! Also, this Miss Xu is my cousin. She's not a vixen, nor does she know any magic tricks!"

Yao Cunhui covered her burning cheeks, and quietly cast a glance at the second master.

"So that's how it is!" The second master was stunned, and then clapped his hands and laughed, "Your cousins ​​are destined to be married, so you can recognize each other!"

"A few masters please advise!" Yao Cunhui didn't want to talk too much nonsense with them.

"Hmph!" The second master cast a blank look at her, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

The eldest master who was sitting upright in the middle finally reacted, staring at the past, and stopped the second master who was about to speak.

"I was just asking for money, hehe, I didn't expect Miss Yao to have such courage and good looks, it's just right to be my wife in the cottage! My second son, wash and dress up well, let's be the bridegroom's official together tonight!"

Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu suddenly changed color and looked at each other in unison.

"Thank you, big brother!" The second leader was startled, then overjoyed, he got up and bowed his hands to the first leader to thank him.

The third master clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's also a good story for this cousin and cousin to be with elder brother and second brother!"

All Luo Luo stepped forward and kowtowed, saying "Congratulations!" They completely ignored Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu as if they were nothing.

"What to do!" Xu Wanzhu said in a low voice, biting her lip.

Yao Cunhui sneered, squinting his eyes and said proudly: "Since the head of the family knows my identity, isn't he afraid of being accused by the court? It will harm the cottage?"

"The imperial court?" The head of the family snorted, and said with a disdainful sneer: "You are only the daughter of a mere merchant, how can the imperial court help you? It's too idle!"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"You may have forgotten," Yao Cunhui ignored the sarcasm and said lightly, "This time, my lady is accompanying the food escort officer to transport food to the military camp in the Western Regions. This is a big event. If you rob me, you will hurt the court." face, but it’s just a cottage, the imperial court still needs to be afraid of it!”

"presumptuous!"

"The old prince Liqin sent two female guards of the palace to accompany him all the way. I don't know if the master knows that!"

"You dare to threaten me?" The head of the family stared at him coldly, but his face changed slightly. He had heard of Prince Li's reputation even though he was a fallen grass.Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so the imperial court may not take care of it, but since Prince Keli sent another guard from the palace to accompany him, it can be seen that Yao Cunhui's status in the old prince's heart.There is no need for anything else, the old prince sent a letter, and the Western Expeditionary Army casually sent an army to pacify his cottage, which was just a joke.

"Hmph! Marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog. That's just right. You have become a woman of Lao Tzu, and you are a member of the cottage. In this way, I can't let you go!" The second head became angry and looked at her coldly.

"Second brother is right!" The head's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "I don't think there is any need to wait for the night, second child, take your wife back! If you are disobedient, hey, beat her until she is obedient! Woman Well, I just owe a beating!"

"You can't! Hui'er!" Xu Wanzhu was shocked, and held Yao Cunhui tightly.

"Cousin Wan'er!" Yao Cunhui smiled wryly, and the two cousins ​​were holding each other.

"Hey, what a sister with deep love!" The second leader smiled evilly and got up Yoyo, waved his hand to stop the little Luoluo who wanted to help, and approached Yao Cunhui and Xu Wanzhu step by step, staring at them like staring at her. The ferocious beast looking at its prey is full of interest and its eyes are shining.

"Cousin Wan'er..." Yao Cunhui's face turned pale, and he stared in horror at the approaching Second Master, his body was so stiff that he could not move, and he tightly held Xu Wanzhu's hand.

She is just an ordinary woman, even though she has a lifetime of memory more than others, she is helpless in the face of violent attacks and provocations.

The second master was even more proud when he saw Yao Cunhui, who was like a quail like a different person from before, and he looked up to the sky and laughed boldly, "Be obedient and let me go with your husband-in-law! My lady!"

Everyone clapped their hands, screamed and laughed wildly.

The second leader stretched out his hand to pull Yao Cunhui without any scruples.

The expected scene didn't happen, only the second master screamed, and he took a few steps back with trembling hands, while Yao Cunhui pulled Xu Wanzhu back quickly, narrowly avoiding the sweeping palm of the second master.
