Lady Changning

Chapter 71 A Different Purple Wood (2)

Summer finally looks like summer, hot and muggy.The three of Xi Changning were dressed in men's clothes and drove the carriage on the way to Hucheng.

"I was really scared to death when I saw you a few days ago." He Lianbao was referring to Xi Changning's painful knees in the rainy weather.

Xi Changning smiled helplessly, it's okay to be in pain, so that she can always remind herself that she hasn't had time to return the pain to Da Furen and Xi Hanxue.Although now they are all by the queen mother's side in order to avoid disaster.

"Sister Bao'er, don't talk about it, it's over now." Just thinking about it made Mingyu feel lingering fear.

It was supposed to arrive at Hucheng within a certain period of time, but Xi Changning and his group didn't realize that something was wrong because of the talking and laughing along the way.It wasn't until the carriage stopped moving that they realized something was wrong.

"Xi Changning, do you feel something is wrong?"

He Lianbao looked at Xi Changning and asked.

Xi Changning cast her a look that you only know.Then she frowned, she originally thought it was her illusion, but now that He Lianbao said so, it was true.

"Come out!" A rough man's voice sounded from outside the door.

The curtain of the carriage was also lifted roughly, and there were a few scruffy bastards standing outside the carriage.

"Is it money or something?" Xi Changning tried his best to stabilize his emotions.

"Who am I? It turns out that there are three women, and they are still wearing men's clothes." The gangster's lewd smile made the three people in the car shudder.

Especially He Lianbao, because every time she returned to Hucheng, she would wipe off the red marks on her face. If she had known that this day would come, she would definitely not wipe the red marks on her face.

"Brother, look, there's a barbarian, he's so pretty!"

"The other two are good too."

The leading gangster is 40 to [-] years old. Although he also covets beauty, but because he takes money from others, he is afraid that he will not get a penny if he breaks the agreement.

"No one wants to touch these three people! Otherwise, you won't get a penny!" The person who spoke was the leader of the gangster, Lao Yu who was kicked out of Hucheng a few days ago.

Thinking of money, the rest of the gangsters didn't dare to move, and were about to go forward and tie the three of them up with rope.

"Helianbao is familiar with you around here, and you are faster than us, so I will rely on you later." Xi Changning whispered to Helianbao.

Before He Lianbao could figure out what was going on, Xi Changning and Mingyu ran headlong into the gangster who was about to tie them up, and because they were defenseless, the gangster fell to the ground.He Lianbao didn't dare to stop for a moment, rushed out of the carriage and ran non-stop, not even daring to turn his head.

Seeing that one ran away, Lao Yu sent two people to chase after him, and the rest tied up Xi Changning and Mingyu.

"The girl ran away, and she will definitely go to rescue the soldiers. She can't stay here for too long."

Lao Yu looked at the terrain. This is the outskirts of Hucheng. There are many forests and mountains. If you go into the mountains, you may be able to stay for a while.

"Go to the city and tell the elder that the matter is settled." Lao Yu pointed to the younger brother beside him.

Grand Master?Xi Changning understood that someone must have instructed this gangster to do this.But Xi Changning has always acted in a low-key way outside, how could he offend the old man that this big bastard talks about?
Xi Changning and Mingyu were brought into the mountain with their knives on their necks. They were really lucky and found a cave in the mountain. These people hid in the cave, and there were people in the middle who communicated with the outside world from time to time.

For a moment, Xi Changning couldn't figure out who was behind the trick, so he could only quietly wait for them to show some clues so that she could find them.

On the other hand, He Lianbao believed that she must be used to being pampered in the prime minister's mansion, and this mountain road actually made her breathless. Fortunately, she grew up near Hucheng, where she had never been before.So it was not difficult to find the shortest way back to Hucheng, but she couldn't run with her body.

"Lord, why did you run like this?" The guard saw that the lord was panting, and immediately stepped forward to help him.

"Go and call Zimu to come out." He Lianbao was really out of breath, after saying this, she felt her throat was breathing fire all the time.

Zimu walked through the corridor to the hall under the notice of his servants, he could almost see a sense of danger from Helian Baopao's flushed face.

"Xi Changning has been kidnapped." He Lianbao calmed down and said these words into one sentence.

"What's going on?" Zimu clenched her hands tightly.

He Lianbao patted her chest to let herself be calm, hoping to finish the matter in one breath, although until now she didn't know what happened.

Almost at the same time as Helian Bao opened his mouth, a guard ran in outside the door, injured and holding a letter.

Zimu took the letter and opened it, black and white, the content was only a few figures, but the intention was clear.

"Needless to say, I know who did it." These people should not have been let go in the first place.

Hucheng has monopolized all the supply of goods from the Western Regions in the capital, which once again proves that Xi Changning's previous idea of ​​rebuilding Hucheng was correct, and also proves that Zimu is really a good helper.Therefore, some merchants in the capital had difficulty in surviving. There were many merchants who wanted to join forces with Zimu to raise the prices of goods from the Western Regions to make huge profits. It might be because of the unwillingness of the barbarians, Zimu refused without even thinking about it.

Now these businessmen actually think that the three Xi Changning who often come and go in and out of the Zifu are someone from Zimu, and they want to catch Xi Changning and blackmail him.

"Go and call the wild wolf and tiger."

He Lianbao and Zimu have been getting along for more than a year, at most they think that Zimu doesn't like to talk, but now looking at his face, it looks like it has been frozen for thousands of years, even he feels cold.

Hu Cheng had never made such a big move to summon guards, and hundreds of people were gathered together.

As soon as Zilong heard that the city lord had been arrested, he volunteered to help.So the troops were divided into two groups, and He Lianbao and Zilong went to search the place where they were arrested.As for Zimu, he went to negotiate according to the instructions in the letter.

When Zilong and Helianbao arrived at the place where they were arrested, they had already lost sight of a ghost.

"They must be hiding, and they must not be far away with the two women. I guess they have entered the mountain."

Zilong swallowed his saliva along the mountain pointed by He Lianbao. He was not afraid of searching the mountain. What he was afraid of was that the mountain was too big and the sky would be dark soon. What should I do?
"Savage wolves and wild tigers, you divide into two groups, and I will go with your lord. Hurry up, it will be even more difficult to search when it gets dark."

The wild wolf and the wild tiger are the kind of big guys that are common among barbarians. Their arms alone are almost thicker than other people's thighs, and their strength is as strong as ten.

"Zilong hurry up, I'm afraid those perverts will be bad for Xi Changning."

Zilong followed Helianbao into the mountain with a saber. This sword was given to him by Master Zimu because he was old and making trouble last time. He said that with the sword by his side, he could defend himself and even scare others.

When Zimu came to the ruined temple in the suburbs, several old men with big bellies and fat intestines were already waiting for him with confidence.

But these old men were still frightened by Zimu's innate majesty. Fortunately, they all came with guards, so they couldn't beat Zimu who came alone.Lao Yu in front of the house has sent word that those women have been arrested, Zimu would never have found them without them, let's see if Zimu dares to be arrogant.

It's really thanks to them squatting in Hucheng Zifu for so many days, and found that three women would come to Zifu regularly, but the people who sent to follow these three people were lost in the car and horse dealership, so they thought of going halfway. method of interception.

"Let them go. Otherwise, you will never get out alive."

The cold voice passed through the body, and the old men felt cold all over their bodies.But there is nothing terrible in thinking that winning is in hand.

"Don't be arrogant in front of us. You were shameless before, and now we can only resort to some extraordinary means. You think it's best for them to obediently settle the matter we talked about before."

The old man took out the agreement from his sleeve and threw it to Zimu, but Zimu didn't answer it, he knew that these people were crazy about money.

"Are you sure?" Zimu asked again very patiently, although the anger in his heart was already bursting out of his eyes.

"Of course, unless you don't care about those women anymore, I can help you make a good person for those gangsters." One of the old men was not afraid of death and angered him.

Hearing such words, Zimu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, as soon as the dagger in his sleeve came out, he had already quietly walked behind the old man, and the dagger was also placed around his neck.

The old man was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot, and the others didn't dare to say a word, and even stepped back a few steps.

"Do you still want to talk to me now? I don't think it's necessary at all."

Zimu's sword was as fast as he said, and with a flash of sword light, the old man's neck was tilted and fell into a pool of blood, but Zimu's face was still indifferent and could not see any fluctuations.

The rest went crazy, screaming and running around.I don't know what happened at all. Is it because they miscalculated?The woman did not pose any threat to the man in front of her, and then they dispersed in a panic, and the guards were too frightened to act rashly.

"I have warned you."

The dagger was still dripping blood, but the blood gleamed coldly, as if greedily bloodthirsty.It can even be said that it is longing for more blood.

So when everyone was screaming at a loss, the screams of the ruined temple disappeared with the snap of a finger, and everyone fell into a pool of blood.The dagger was dripping with blood, and Zimu's body was also stained with blood, but even though he had killed so many people, he still had no expression on his face.

In fact, he knew martial arts after being named Zimu by Xi Changning, but he didn't care if he had martial arts because he didn't use it, but Hu Cheng's business was getting bigger and bigger, so he had to be careful about attracting wind. However, he has been hiding for more than a year, and until now Xi Changning doesn't know that he knows kung fu.

But this time he went crazy, like a tamed wolf that was suddenly stained with blood, and his bloodthirsty nature was fully revealed. He was even a little addicted, but he had always controlled it very well before this.Maybe these people should be damned, they shouldn't have their ideas on Xi Changning, he doesn't allow anyone to have their ideas on Xi Changning, not even one.
