Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 20
Not long after leaving Baoguo Temple, another black lacquered carriage with simple and unpretentious decoration also left the mountain gate, and the accompanying guards were all fierce and fierce. King Luo in the carriage looked at the driver in front of him, his eyes flashed, " Go and find out who left the Murong family."

After a cup of tea, the guard reported back, "The little novice said it was Miss Murong San."

she?
A trace of surprise flashed in King Luo's eyes. He thought it was... It seems that he misunderstood.

"Let's go." Luo Wang closed his eyes and meditated. Soon, the carriage went down the mountain road and followed Murong Wei back.

From Xishan to Zhou's house along the official road, Murong Wei sat in the carriage and pondered for a long time, but she didn't figure out what happened, but she didn't know why her uncle wasted so much trouble.

White clouds gradually piled up in the sky, the color of the sky was a little dark, and it looked like it was going to rain.

The car entered Suzaku Avenue, turned a corner and turned into another busy street, and continued on its way.

At this time, the originally sunny weather had turned cloudy, and thick cumulonimbus clouds piled up in the sky. It was clearly broad daylight, but the whole sky seemed to be a little darker, as if it was night, which made people startled.

"It's going to rain heavily." Murong Wei lifted the silk curtain and looked outside, "Looks like I have to go to Uncle's house quickly."

Otherwise, you have to be drenched in water.

After half a stick of incense, her car turned into a lane.

She was sitting in the car reading a book for a while, when suddenly there was a noise in front of her, and the carriage stopped.

Zhang Qian's family got out of the car to look, but saw two middle-aged women wrestling into a ball, blocking the road, cursing and swearing.

She hurriedly scolded: "Go, go, you can't hit wherever you want, why are you blocking the way here, get out!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered a few women to push the two women away. Unexpectedly, the two women were daring and brute force. After breaking away from the women, they dared to reply: "It's none of your business, we Those who beat us, this road does not belong to your house, we will fight whenever we like."

Murong Wei looked through the curtain, frowned slightly, everyone's attention was focused on the matter in front of them, a few servants stepped forward and scolded: "You two idiots, you bumped into a nobleman and stripped your skin!"

After finishing speaking, they pushed and pulled people aside, the two women were still struggling to refuse, and were arguing, when suddenly the carriage moved slightly, and a black shadow rushed into Murong Wei's carriage!

Before Murong Wei could turn her head, she saw a flash of saber light, followed by a tingling pain on her neck, and her hands were grabbed before she could move.

"Don't move, or you will die!" The deliberately low voice suddenly exploded in her ears, accompanied by the thunder from the sky, which made Murong Wei's whole body go numb, and her hair stood on end.

She froze all over, and it wasn't until then that she realized that there was an extra black-clothed masked man in the dimly lit carriage.

The man covered his head, with only two circles showing his eyes, a pair of eyes flickered when he saw her face clearly, the knife on her neck was slightly loose, and he whispered: "I won't kill you , where is your car going?"

It took Murong Wei a long time to regain her breath, the clothes on her back were already soaked in cold sweat, she had never been kidnapped in her previous life, especially this person, he obviously didn't look like a kind person, he dared to openly Assault!
For a moment, her mind was spinning a thousand times, and the noise outside seemed to stop.

"I'm going to Changpingfang." The current situation is stronger than others, and she just wants to find out what this masked man wants to do.

The man glanced at her: "Then stop at Dongping Street, and I will leave."

Murong Wei wanted to ask him why he jumped into her car, even if he was going to Dongping Street, he could change clothes and go by himself, why would he take the risk of kidnapping a passing stranger?
Just as he was thinking, the noise outside suddenly became louder, accompanied by the sound of many heavy footsteps, followed by a man shouting: "Chasing, you must catch him!"

Those people quickly passed through this alley, and suddenly saw this group of people, and immediately surrounded them.

"Who is in the car? We are under the command of the commander of the West City of the Five Cities, and we are ordered to arrest criminals. Why do you stay here? Have you ever seen a black-clothed murderer?" A pair of sharp eyes swept across the group of people, just looking at them made people tremble with fear.

Murong Wei immediately understood that the soldiers and horses of the five cities were arresting the bandits, and they must be patrolling everywhere under the command of the entire Xicheng at this moment. Compared with hiding in someone else's house, it is easier to be found, it is better to hide in her carriage and escape the search .

The only ones who protect his carriage are maids and servants. This is definitely not the case when a man goes out. He must have expected it to be a woman, and since he is a woman, how could he tell the story of being kidnapped by a man and ruin his virtue!

As a weak girl, she is the most deceptive, and people from Wucheng Bingmasi will not suspect that her family has anything to do with gangsters.

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes, and only then did she think of those two old women who were fighting in the road before. At the foot of the capital, even the ordinary people of Shengdou have some knowledge. Seeing this carriage, they should know how to dodge it. put.

Unless it was to delay time and focus everyone's attention on them, this person would have a way to hide in the carriage without being noticed.

This gangster has such deep thoughts, one link after another, such a powerful calculation!Before and after, he wanted to understand everything.

Murong Wei had already figured out her current situation at this time, and she just heard the voice of the officer outside, her hands grabbed her tightly, and a deep voice rang in her ears: "Don't let it out, otherwise..."

The knife was resting on her heart, Murong Wei's face was pale, she looked terrified, her eyes were lowered, her whole body was trembling, like a trembling and bewildered child.

The man's eyes flickered, as if he was a little annoyed, but his voice was softer, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

His tone sounded like he knew her.

Murong Wei suddenly smelled a vague smell of blood coming from him, and blood oozed from the cloth on his arm, but it was not obvious because he was wearing black clothes.

Her eyes moved slightly, it turned out that he was injured, no wonder...

"We are the old family of Murongge, my lord, we only stopped the car because there were two wives fighting in front of us, and we never saw any criminals."

The young man who answered was quite clever, and when he heard that it was Murongge's hometown, the officer frowned, and suddenly saw his subordinates rushing over: "My lord, brothers have searched all over the place, but no suspicious person has appeared. No one has noticed the local snakes around."

There is no matter about the capital that their soldiers and horses don't know about. Once the gangster appears, he will definitely be noticed.Right now, the only place he can hide is the house...

This car is so coincidentally parked here, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?

The handsome eyes suddenly became sharper: "You are really from Murongge's hometown, but you have a certificate, and the people in the car are invited to come down for inspection."

The young man hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare we impersonate, you can tell whose family's car it is by looking at the car. As for the person in the car is my lady, how can you let someone check it rashly?"

Lu'er, who was waiting outside the car, was also frowning at the moment, with a displeased expression on his face.

The young man said that he went forward to salute, apparently to give some favors, but the officer sneered: "I am waiting to perform official duties, and I can't control so much. If I don't allow inspection, I have to invite you to go to the Bingmasi Yamen for a walk." Already!"

The young man probably didn't expect why the Bing Ma Si's people were so unreasonable today, so different from usual, he couldn't help getting annoyed, "My lord, this is a small nameplate, every servant of the Murong family has such a nameplate, You can check carefully, and even send someone to the Murong Mansion to see who we really belong to."

"What happened outside?" At this moment, a girl's voice sounded from the carriage.

At this moment in the carriage, the man in black held Murong Wei hostage and motioned her to speak. Murong Wei looked overly frightened, and he whispered in his ear: "Relax, don't let people notice anything."

As he said that, he clasped her right wrist pulse, lay down on the carpet of the carriage, and rolled under the seat, but did not loosen his hand at all, fearing that she would die if there was any abnormal movement.

Murong Wei sneered in her heart, if it wasn't for the purpose of paralyzing him, she wouldn't have to act like this, but since he dared to kill others, how could he know that he wouldn't kill her.

He said that he would let her go when he got off the car at Dongping Street. God knows if he will kill her to silence her!
How could she place her hope of saving her life in the hands of a murderer!

After finishing speaking, she opened the curtain with one hand, her face full of anxiety: "Lu'er, uncle's illness is serious, so let's ask this lord to let him go first."

She glanced secretly, and saw that the wives outside belonged to her family, but the two quarreling people had disappeared.

This further confirmed her guess, and indeed it was.

This person is too smart, she has to be on guard, she must not make the slightest change right now, she must remain calm.

After Lu'er said this, she remembered Zhang Qian's family, and hurriedly pulled her over: "Quick, where is the name card from uncle?"

Zhang Qian's family was also very frightened by this incident just now. Seeing a group of aggressive officers and soldiers, they almost forgot that they still had the master's name card.

"The maidservant belongs to Dali Temple Qing Zhou Daren's family. This is my master's name card. I am here to invite Miss Biao to go back to visit her sick."

After finishing speaking, hand over the name post.

When the officer saw Murong Wei, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and she was naturally dressed like a lady. At this moment, her face was the same, if she really hid a murderer, she would always show something strange. The post is indeed the famous post of Dali Temple Minister Zhou Fengyan.

At this time, a subordinate ran over from afar: "My lord, someone found that murderer!"

The officer was shocked immediately, and returned the name card, changed his arrogance just now, and said very kindly: "I am on official business, please forgive me if I disturb the lady."

Murong Wei nodded: "My lord, let's go after the murderer."

The officer immediately led his men to chase the prisoner, and hurried out of the alley, just in time for another carriage to drive into the alley.

When Murong Wei saw the car clearly, she was overjoyed, it was King Luo!
He actually came out from Baoguo Temple.

He knew the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, but he didn't know the appearance of King Luo.

At this moment, he was hiding in the carriage and staring at her face, but she couldn't make the slightest abnormal move.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound of thunder in the sky, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the black clouds were overwhelming the city, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

King Luo looked at the car driving in the distance, Murong Wei left Baoguo Temple in a hurry at this moment, but the journey he took didn't look like going back to the mansion, it was weird everywhere.According to the distance, she should have gone far, but why was she blocked here?

Seeing the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, King Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked the guards around him what happened.

"Your Highness, it is said that a murder occurred in the west of the city. The assassin was a masked man in black. Now he has escaped. The commander of the west city sent people to chase the murderer."

What kind of person is Luo Wang? Thinking of the situation of the officers and soldiers at war and the situation of Murong Wei's car being blocked here, he already guessed that the two sides must have a conflict because of the arrest of the murderer.

The carriage was getting closer, and Murong Wei hurriedly said to Zhang Qian's family: "Mother Zhang, you should hurry up and get in the carriage, I have to go to my uncle's."

The company of Zhang Qian's family claimed yes and got into his car.

At this time, Luo Wang's car was approaching, Murong Wei and Lu'er ordered: "It's all right, let people get ready to go."

"Isn't this Miss Murong? You were at Baoguo Temple with the old lady, why did you come back alone?"

Murong Wei was eager for him to ask, Lu'er was about to speak, but was interrupted by Murong Wei: "It turned out to be you, the little girl greeted you."

While speaking, she was shy with a pink face, timid and timid like a water lotus flower that could not bear the cool breeze, her bright eyes were half closed, half surprised, looking at him as if she was flattered by his inquiry.

That expression, tone of voice and movements made Luo Wang almost think that he had admitted the wrong person.

This is Murong Wei?
Is this that smart and calm woman? How could she show such an expression in front of him?
Although ordinary daughters at her age might react like this, but she...

The corner of Luo Wang's mouth moved slightly: "Miss, don't be too polite."

The man clasped her wrist tightly, and Murong Wei glanced out of the corner of her eyes, and saw the man's eyes, which were obviously a warning.

Murong Wei twirled her hair with her fingertips, lowered her head in an infinitely coy manner: "I had something to do before I left. Grandma told me before that Your Highness knows a lot about Buddhist scriptures, so talk to her Starting from the stone stele engraved with the Heart Sutra in Baoguo Temple, the writing is quite like the style of the two kings."

Luo Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, no, he didn't mention the stone tablet to the old lady, he only discussed the Diamond Sutra stone tablet with her, the stone tablet was not the style of Wang Xizhi's father and son, but Xi's Liu Gongquan.

Five city soldiers and horses arrest murderers...

In the blink of an eye, King Luo already understood.

Her anomaly is sending him a message...

He clenched his hand to push aside the silk gauze curtain, his eyes completely changed, his whole person was no longer as relaxed and natural as before, but suddenly his eyes swept over like lightning, like an eagle.

He knew that this woman was so abnormal, how could she suddenly become a different person in front of him.

I'm afraid that now she is being held hostage, and her life is in the hands of others.

"Your Highness, it looks like the weather is going to rain, and the little girl has to visit her uncle, so let's just say goodbye."

"Miss is talking about Mrs. Zhou, it's okay, I'm going to do some business there, so I'll drop by." After finishing speaking, he gave her a wink.

Murong Wei breathed a sigh of relief, talking to smart people would save trouble.

"This, it's inconvenient. The little girl went to Dongping Street to buy some things before going to visit her uncle." She looked at Luo Wang as usual, and even Luo Wang applauded her calmness. This girl is really courageous , if an ordinary woman would have cried in fright when encountering this kind of thing, how could she think of a way to save herself? I will never doubt her at all.

For the next thing, she needs to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Dongping Street is a good place to solve it. However, no one can find out that she has been held hostage by a murderer. It will hurt her reputation if it spreads.

"It's all right, miss please." After saying that, he put down the curtain.

The servant girls hurriedly drove the carriage and drove away from here. When Murong Wei saw Lu'er winking at her, she couldn't believe that it was her lady just now. She was not like this in front of King Luo before. Why did she suddenly look like this? so strange?

Murong Wei turned a blind eye, lowered the curtain, and turned to look at the man in black, only to see the man in black sitting up and looking at her strangely.

Murong Wei's heart trembled when he saw it, and the muffled thunder in the sky made people panic even more.

She looked at him tremblingly, wanted to cry, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I did it..."

The man in black sighed, and suddenly let go of her hand.

Murong Wei was stunned, what happened to this guy?

Isn't he afraid of her escaping?
Or is he just so confident that he can't escape at all?
The man in black stared straight at her, and suddenly a smile flashed in his eyes.

Murong Wei only felt that the other party's eyes were dark and bright, and they were very beautiful like waves.It's just that she really appreciates incompetence at the moment, who made her a hostage, he is a robber!

"I won't kill you," he said.

Murong Wei continued to pretend, with a very scared look: "Don't kill me, I will be obedient."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but he didn't speak any more. He just sat aside and looked at her from time to time with a very strange expression.

What's going on here?

Murong Wei was speechless, this robber is not like a robber, and the hostage is not like a hostage, no matter how you look at it, it is strange.

Well, no matter what he thinks, she will come and cover it up.

For a while, only the sound of the horse's hooves accompanied by the sound of the wheels rolling, Murong Wei sat on the side with her eyes closed, her posture extremely low.

The man in black sat next to him, his expression very unpredictable.

There was an eerie calm between the two of them.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the thunder was coming from far and near, but the rain never stopped.

King Luo had already ordered people to prepare, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the carriage and land on the little girl.

"Murong Wei, what kind of woman are you..." He muttered, turning the purple sand teacup in his hand. It would be a pity if such a woman disappeared because of this.

At least, he has never seen her look like this, that kind of eyes that seem to be watching a show...

The carriage turned into an alley, and just as it turned the corner, the man in black finally spoke: "Stop immediately."

Murong Wei was taken aback, he hadn't reached Dongping Street yet, why did he suddenly stop here.

But seeing him showing the knife, Murong Wei had no choice but to stop, but she was secretly anxious.

But at this moment, King Luo's car was driving behind, a blind spot away, how would he know what happened to her here.

It was too late to notify Luo Wang, and he couldn't shout, most afraid of angering this person.

Just in case, just in case this person wants to kill her.

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, even if she tried to die, she would never give up!

She had already died once, and she didn't want to die a second time!
Murong Wei put her hands behind her back lightly, if not, her red gold hairpin can also hurt people.

As soon as the carriage stopped, he suddenly saw something thrown out by him, and a puff of smoke suddenly came out, Murong Wei's heart skipped a beat and she screamed.

At this moment, a string of burning firecrackers on the roadway suddenly fell, and fell from mid-air with a roar, which startled everyone, and the horse pulling the cart ran forward with a neighing sound!
"Miss!" Lu'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the servants beside her hurriedly chased after her. Luo Wang, who was following closely behind, finally changed his expression slightly, "Come on, go and catch the bandits nearby for me." , go after Miss Murong!"

After saying that, he also got out of the carriage, flew on the horse, and hurriedly chased after him.

What he didn't expect was that the gangster was so cunning. He had already sent people to set up a net on Dongping Street, but he didn't expect...he actually had this trick!
What he didn't understand was that the gangster was just a temporary idea, how could he know that Murong Wei had asked him for help.

You must know that there is no flaw in their words. He is not an insider, so it is absolutely impossible to know!
That's why he suddenly changed his mind and didn't stop at Dongping Street. Since he chose Dongping Street, he must have his own party, which is safer than this, but he would rather act at the risk of his party being exposed at this time, which is surprising. .

Unless this person is extremely cunning, no matter whether Murong Wei asks for help or not, he has no plan to go to Dongping Street, so there is absolutely no risk of being caught.

All the guards were startled, seeing that the prince was taking risks regardless of his precious body, except for some people left behind to catch the gangster who threw the firecrackers, the rest followed.

The horse that was driving was frightened, and galloped through the alley into the street. The frightened horse ran rampant, and everyone on the street jumped up and down, everyone avoided.

Murong Wei was thrown upside down in the carriage, and suddenly she was embraced by the man in black, she became annoyed: "Let go!"

How dare this bastard take advantage of her?

After finishing speaking, she waved her right hand, and a thin red gold lily hairpin stabbed fiercely at him.

The man grabbed her wrist fiercely with one hand. Men are stronger than women. At this moment, she couldn't break free at all.

The coachman in front couldn't control the frightened horse long ago, and suddenly a man flew up from the road and jumped onto the horse's back. He didn't know what method he used to calm down the frightened horse in an instant, and then he suddenly rushed forward with the horse and the carriage. Into a quiet and deep alley.

"Stop, stop quickly, what are you doing, little brother?" the coachman yelled loudly.

And as the frightened horse calmed down, the man in black chuckled and said in her ear: "Miss, you are really a smart person, but unfortunately, if it wasn't for me, I would have been fooled by you."

After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage suddenly, his figure was like lightning, and he only looked back at her, his eyes were as clear as water, with a smile on his face.

Murong Wei looked at him blankly, who the hell is this guy?
Seeing that he disappeared into the distance after a few ups and downs, the man on the horse also jumped off his horse, jumped towards the wall next to him, and disappeared.She was so angry that she thumped the wall of the car, "Don't let me touch you again!"

She really didn't expect that she had been very thoughtful, but he still noticed it.

How on earth did he find out?
If someone who doesn't know her sees her talking to King Luo like that, they might just think that she is a young girl with a warm heart, which is the most normal. Why did he find something unusual? What went wrong?

As soon as the coachman stopped, King Luo arrived suddenly, riding alone, and saw Murong Wei lift the curtain, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Luo Wang also had cold eyes and ran away.

That gangster thought he was some kind of god, who came and went without a trace, really thought he couldn't be caught?
He was very interested in getting to know this cunning gangster.

"Miss San, are you okay?" He dismounted and walked to the carriage and asked, seeing that she was not injured in any way other than her complexion, so she was relieved.

Murong Wei forced a smile at him: "Thank you Your Highness for saving me."

Luo Wang laughed, with a bit of self-deprecation: "I said to save you, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

What face does he have to say that he was thanked by her, and he wanted to help her, but he almost killed her instead, that gangster made her plan with him a complete joke!

If the gangster just now had evil intentions, it is possible to kill her. There are too many weird things about this matter, and Luo Wang wants to find out exactly what kind of murder that guy did just now, so that the Wucheng soldiers and horses were dispatched wantonly. .
