Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 18
Feng Junyang in the car raised his eyes in surprise, and saw that Chen Nian did not lean forward like before, but sat down at the rear of the car leaning against the wall of the car, with his arms bent and his knees tightly tucked together In front of him, the hanging neck buried his head and face deeply.Although she couldn't hear a bit of crying, the slightly shaking shoulders revealed the pain in her heart at the moment.Feng Junyang couldn't help sighing softly, knocked on the wall of the carriage with his fingers, and told Shunping outside: "Let's go."

The carriage continued to move forward, slowly shaking again.After Chen Nian's shoulders gradually stabilized, Feng Junyang asked her softly, "Why didn't you tell him the truth?"

Chen Nian raised his head and wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, but he wiped more and more tears, so he simply wiped with his sleeve later.She was still wearing Feng Junyang's clothes, the cuffs were wide, long and bulky, so it was easy to use.Feng Junyang couldn't stand it anymore, and handed over a handkerchief, dumbfounded: "A girl of this age doesn't even wear a handkerchief, and she's not afraid of making people laugh!"

Chen Nian unceremoniously took it over, wiped his face indiscriminately, stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, raised his eyes to look at Feng Junyang, who was smiling but not smiling, and said in a low voice, "If you want to laugh, I'll just laugh out loud. There is no need to hold back."

When she said this, Feng Junyang really burst into laughter, and when he saw her glaring at him, he quickly stopped laughing and asked the question again, "Why didn't you tell Ye Xiaoqi the truth?"

Chen Nian replied: "He is too quick-tempered and too scheming. If I told him the truth, he would have to go to Zhang Kuisu immediately to find out. He lost his life in vain. It's better to just hide it from him. If it's luck Well, there might be a life left."

Feng Junyang nodded slowly, seeing that Chen Nian's eyebrows were still unmoved, he thought for a while and said: "If you still feel that you can't stand Qingfengzhai in your heart, then I will tell you something, and you ask someone to tell Zhang Kuisu , even if you did your best for those innocent people who died tragically."

Chen Nian heard the words and asked, "What happened?"

Feng Junyang smiled slightly, and replied: "Who is this person who leaked the whereabouts of the Qingfengzhai family to Yang Gui? If it wasn't Zhang Kuisu as you said, then who is this traitor?"

"Who is it?" Chen Nian couldn't help asking.

"I don't know who it is, but I think Zhang Kuisu should be able to find out if he is willing to investigate." Feng Junyang replied slowly. Seeing Chen Nian's puzzled expression, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, and continued. , "I guess this person should have some status in Qingfengzhai. The family members are very simple. At least there are very few family members who go with Li Junming. There may be only a younger sister or a daughter, and they are not yet married in the boudoir."

Chen Nian was only blinded by the mist in the game, but now he was enlightened by Feng Junyang's words like this, and he came to his senses in an instant.All the family members in Qingfengzhai were slaughtered, only Xiaoliu and other young women survived, but it was all because of Yang Gui's confession in advance.The girls in Qingfeng Village are just rough girls who grew up in the mountains, even though there are a few of them who are beautiful, they are far from being so beautiful that even Yang Gui has heard of them.Since he was not greedy for beauty, why did Yang Gui specifically ask those Jizhou officers and soldiers to keep them?
The answer is right in front of you, almost within reach.Chen Nian calmed down and recalled for a while, and said: "Among the people I met last night, only two people met this requirement, one is Xiao Liu, and the other is Lingque."

Xiao Liu is Wen Fengming's daughter. Wen Fengming lost his wife in his early years and never remarried since then. Xiao Liu is the only daughter beside him.And Lingque's father, Lu Rongfeng, although his status is not as high as Wen Fengming's, is still a big leader in the village. He is good at boxing and kicking, and he is well-known in the northern and southern Taihang areas.

From this point of view, both Wen Fengming and Lu Rongfeng may be the traitors of Qingfeng Village.

Feng Junyang was not familiar with the internal affairs of Qingfengzhai, and he didn't know who the sparrow Chen Nian was talking about, he only guessed that it must be one of the girls she rescued last night.He smiled and said, "We just need to tell Zhang Kuisu about this matter. As for who the traitor is, that's what he should worry about."

Chen Nian hesitated for a while, and immediately got up: "I'll tell him!"

But Feng Junyang grabbed her, smiled and shook his head: "You are not suitable, let Shunping send the message." He immediately called Shunping to come in, and ordered, "Go back and give Zhang Kuisu Just a word, let me just say that I just got the news that Yang Gui deliberately left the lives of those women yesterday, and asked the people of Jizhou not to touch those women before he arrived. Tell Zhang Kuisu again that Yang Gui is not a lustful person , There must be a deep meaning in doing so. You only say this to Master Zhang, don’t say anything else, come back quickly.”

Shunping left as promised, but Chen Nian still had some doubts, and asked Feng Junyang, "Is it enough to just tell Zhang Kuisu?"

Feng Junyang smiled and said: "He is not a real fool. Once he learns that those women survived, it is all because of Yang Gui's confession in advance, so he must think about it. When he goes back, he will ask the details of those surviving women. Even if he is stupid, Qingfeng The people in the village are not all fools."

Chen Nian nodded slowly: "You are right."

Because the group of people were all light vehicles and fast horses, they traveled extremely fast, and they left the Feilongxing Pass when it was dark.When they arrived in Qingzhou, although the city gate was closed, but with Yang Cheng in front, the city gate had already been opened wide, and everyone followed Yang Cheng into the city.Yang Cheng was waiting for Feng Junyang at the intersection in front, and said to him: "My son, there are still some things that need to be dealt with urgently in my mansion, so I won't send you there. My son will have a good rest for the night, and I will visit the manor tomorrow."

Feng Junyang had already come out of the car, and said with a smile: "General Yang is too polite, today's matter is already very troublesome to the general, it should be Junyang to the general's mansion to thank you some other day."

Yang Cheng obviously had urgent matters to deal with, so he didn't care to talk too much with Feng Junyang for a while, so he just took a moment of politeness and led the others to go first.Feng Junyang waited for Yang Cheng to leave before getting into the car again.Chen Nian was extremely sleepy, but he still did not forget to ask him in a daze: "Will Yang Cheng hold us hostage?"

"It's nothing, the Jiangbei dispute has nothing to do with me in Yunxi." Feng Junyang replied, stretched out his hand to embrace the drowsy Chen Nian, and laughed softly, "Don't sleep yet, it's almost here. If you fall asleep, I won't be able to hug you for a while."

Chen Nian replied vaguely, tilted his head on his shoulder, but fell into a deeper sleep.Feng Junyang smiled helplessly, so he had to pull the cloak behind her to wrap around her, and hugged her into his arms.Chennian has not closed his eyes for two days and one night, and his spirit has been highly tense, and he has long been exhausted.Right now, people only feel at ease by Feng Junyang's side, so they can no longer resist the drowsiness, and as soon as their eyelids open, they dream of meeting Duke Zhou.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the bed, and it was already bright outside.The furnishings in the house seemed somewhat familiar, and she thought for a while before she recognized that this was Feng Junyang's bedroom, and she even stayed here once for Feng Junyang.It's just that it wasn't this bed that she slept at that time, but a soft couch outside.Unconsciously, she turned her head and looked out, and saw that there was indeed someone sleeping on the soft couch.

Chen Nian wanted to get up to see who that person was, but when she sat up, she felt that something was wrong with her body. She looked down and cried out in surprise. The clothes she wore during the day were changed into a baggy one at some point. A large piece of skin was exposed on the front of the chest, and the smooth and delicate silk was attached to the skin, and there was a slight itchiness when rubbed against it, but there was nothing else inside.

The person on the couch outside was awakened by her low cry, and Feng Junyang's slightly hoarse voice sounded after a while: "What's wrong?"

Chen Nian slipped into the quilt again, and pulled the quilt up to his face, wishing he could cover his entire face.Feng Junyang couldn't wait for her answer for a long time, so he wanted to visit her.Chen Nian peeped and saw that he seemed to get up from the couch and came over, hurriedly shouted: "I'm fine, don't come over!"

Feng Junyang paused and didn't get up again. He just sat on the couch and looked at Chen Nian, and asked with a smile, "Why are you covering up so tightly? If you feel cold, ask someone to add another quilt." alright."

"Not cold, not cold." Chen Nian hurriedly said, paused, and asked tentatively, "Why am I sleeping here?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me." Feng Junyang said while moving his arms, "I don't know who was so sleepy last night that I couldn't wake them up. I didn't have the strength to send you elsewhere, so I had to hug me back in the room."

Chen Nian was shy and embarrassed, and wanted to ask him who changed his clothes, but he couldn't ask, so he just covered the quilt and refused to speak.

Feng Junyang saw that she wrapped herself up so tightly, and guessed her thoughts as soon as he thought about it, he smiled, and deliberately teased her: "It's not that I haven't slept in the same room, I have slept on the kang. Now, why are you embarrassed? Who said that you are not afraid of crooked shadows when you are upright? Why, are you afraid now?"

Chen Nian was originally a articulate person, and he was the least afraid of arguing with others in the past, but most of the women in love would become clumsy in front of their lovers, without the wit and agility of the past.Her face became hot, she was immediately fooled, and shouted: "That's different, we didn't take off our clothes at that time!"

It's strange to say that a man is also strange. If he loves you, no matter how stupid you are, he will only think you are cute and cute.Seeing that Chen Nian had been duped, Feng Junyang's mouth involuntarily curved up, and he said "Oh" softly, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and remained silent.

When Chen Nian recalled it, he wished he could bite off his tongue and spit it out. Seeing Feng Junyang just looking at him and smiling, he was ashamed and shrouded himself in the quilt.

Feng Junyang was also afraid that she would become angry from embarrassment, so he didn't dare to tease her anymore, so he just got up and went out to ask someone to come in to take care of her grooming.Because Chen Nian was inside, it was not the usual Shunping who came in to serve, but two other maids.Feng Junyang didn't like these maids serving close to him, so he waved his hand to signal that they don't need to come near, and only asked them to go in to serve Chen Nian, and then ordered: "Prepare some hot water, and wait for the girl to take a bath."

The two maids agreed in low voices, one stayed in the house to serve, and the other went out to ask people to prepare bathtubs, hot water and other things.Feng Junyang washed himself briefly here, stood outside and explained to Chen Nian before leaving the door.Shunping was waiting outside the door, and when he saw him come out, he leaned forward and reported in a low voice: "The Taixing cavalry vanguard has arrived eighty miles south of Qingzhou City. The twelve sons of the He family entered Qingzhou early this morning. Yang Cheng himself Welcoming him into the city guard's mansion."

Feng Junyang nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Shunping then said: "Qiao Lao just asked the little Shizi if he got up, and said that if the Shizi got up, he would go and talk to him, he has something to say to the Shizi."

Feng Junyang heard Shunping say that Qiao was always looking for him, so he paused and turned to the east wing.In the past, he thought that his martial arts were not weak, so he didn't like to have someone close to protect him. Now that he was seriously injured, he no longer had the ability to protect himself, so he had to ask Mr. Qiao to live in the nearby wing for safety reasons.

Qiao Lao had been waiting in the side room for a long time, when he saw Feng Junyang coming in, he hurriedly came forward and saluted, "Master."

Feng Junyang had always respected Mr. Qiao, and before he could bend down, he supported him with both hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be too polite, Mr. Qiao. I heard from Shunping that you are looking for me for something. I don't know what it is?"

Qiao Lao's real name is Qiao Yu, and he is a famous martial artist in Southwest China, with profound internal strength.He has been by Feng Junyang's side for more than ten years and has been responsible for his safety.A month ago, Mr. Qiao suddenly had something to do with his sect, so he temporarily asked Feng Junyang for leave to go back to deal with sect affairs.Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Feng Junyang was assassinated, the meridians all over his body were damaged, and his internal energy was completely lost.

Mr. Qiao felt very guilty about this matter, so he said frankly: "It is the matter of the son's injury. I thought about it for a long time last night, and now there is only one way for the son to recover his martial arts or to give it a try, and that is me. Every day, I use my inner strength to heal my son's wounds, and at the same time, I send a letter to my senior brother Chao Yangzi, asking him to find a way to repair the damaged meridians of my son."

Chaoyangzi is proficient in medicine, especially good at making alchemy. He is a well-known genius doctor in the Jianghu, even people who are not from the Jianghu like Feng Junyang have heard of it.

"It would be great if I could recover my martial arts, but..." Feng Junyang paused, smiled nonchalantly, and then said, "Mr. Qiao asked Senior Chaoyangzi to heal my wounds, but I still need to hide it from others, so as not to hurt me." There are villains at work."

Mr. Qiao naturally agreed, and said: "Since we want to cure the root cause, we can no longer forcibly infuse true energy into the son. Although this can be used as a temporary emergency, it will not be a righteous way. If the son is fine at the moment, why don't we start healing now?" .”

Feng Junyang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

Not to mention that Mr. Qiao is here to heal Feng Junyang Yungong, but Chen Nian is there.Because there were no people in the room, Chen Nian was embarrassed to get up and get dressed, and kept covering himself under the quilt, hoping that everyone in the room would leave quickly.Unexpectedly, as soon as Feng Junyang left, a maid from behind carried the bathtub in, walked to the bed and asked Chen Nian to get up and take a bath.

Where did Chen Nian ask someone to wait for him to take a bath? Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "You go out, I can wash it myself, I don't need you to wait on me."

The two maids looked at each other, not daring to disobey Chen Nian's order, bowed their heads and bowed before quietly retreating out.Seeing them close the door, Chen Nian threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed, rushed to the bathtub in two steps and jumped in.The water is neither cold nor hot, and it is most comfortable to soak in it.But this was in Feng Junyang's room, and he didn't know when he would come back again, how could Chen Nian dare to indulge himself in taking a bath here, he hurriedly washed and then crawled out.

Beside the bed was the clothes that the maid had brought earlier. It was a set of begonia red dresses for women. The young girl in the mirror has a slender figure, a delicate face, and matching clothes, just like a blooming crabapple, dazzling and eye-catching, she is more beautiful than she has ever seen before.Young and greedy for beauty, even if Chen Nian is so careless, he doesn't feel a little complacent, and seeing that his cheeks on both sides have lost a lot of weight, and they don't seem to be as round as before, he is even more happy in his heart, and can't help but look in the mirror Li made a face to himself.

The maid waiting outside couldn't hear Chen Nian's call from inside, so she asked softly: "Miss, do you need a servant to go in and serve?"

Chen Nian blushed, hurriedly stepped away from the mirror, cleared his throat guiltyly, opened the door and poked his head out to ask the maid outside: "Excuse me, two sisters, where do you want to clean up the bathtub?"

Seeing that her wet hair was still loose, the maid hurriedly pushed her into the room for fear that she would catch the cold, and said: "The servants will take care of those things, please sit down first, and the servants will help you dry your hair, so don't burn it." wind."

After speaking, he asked her to sit down in front of the dressing table, wrapped her long hair with a large white veil and patted it lightly, and after absorbing the water from the hair, he took a smoker and came over to dry her hair with her. .Chen Nian had never been served by someone like this before, he just felt uncomfortable, and finally waited until the hair was almost dry, and refused to let the maid to dress himself up, just casually combed a simple hairstyle and left the room Door.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shunping standing outside the door of the East Wing with his hands down. Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, and was about to go over to ask Feng Junyang's whereabouts. Shunping had already seen her, so he hurried over and said in a low voice: " Mr. Qiao is treating the elder son's wounds, the elder son told you to eat by yourself first, and there is no need to wait for him."

Chen Nian nodded, but asked him, "Do you know where Lu Xiao who came with me yesterday lives?"

Shunping replied: "My lord arranges that knight-errant Lu to live in another courtyard. If the girl needs to find him, the villain will ask someone to find him."

Chen Nian thought to himself that he is not my servant, how could he shout around like this, it would be better for her to go and find him herself.She glanced at the East Wing, guessing that Feng Junyang would need some time to heal his injuries, so she said, "I have something to tell that person, but it's not easy to ask him to come over, you should find someone to take me there."

After hearing this, Shunping thought that Miss Xie was really young and ignorant. Yesterday, the son of the prince clearly expressed his dislike for her having a close relationship with that Lu Xiao, but she still wanted to look for him in private, but she was wearing the same clothes. It looks so good-looking, the son of the world must be displeased when he finds out.He couldn't tell Chen Nian about this, so he persuaded him: "If the girl has nothing urgent, why don't you wait for Shi Ziye first, and ask Shi Ziye to accompany you there, wouldn't it show that we value Lu Xiashi more?"

Chen Nian is well-versed in other things, but he is ignorant of the word "love". How can he hear the meaning in Shun Ping's words, but he thinks that Feng Junyang and Lu Xiao are very different, whether they can meet or not Okay, so he said: "No need, I'll go there by myself, so there's no need to bother Ah Ce."

After saying that, she walked out of the courtyard, Shunping had no choice but to ask someone to take her to find Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao entered Feng Junyang's mansion with Chen Nian last night, and was arranged to live alone in a courtyard. He was having breakfast at the moment. He was taken aback, looked at her more up and down, and praised: "You look good in this outfit, much better than the male-female attire yesterday."

Although Chen Nian had only known him for two days, he felt like an old friend, and he didn't feel shy after hearing his praise, but was very happy, and turned around to show him, and asked with a smile: "Is it really good-looking? "

Lu Xiao nodded, and then complained about the food in front of him: "You Han people have strange habits. You eat these soups and waters all day, no wonder you have no energy."

Chen Nian saw that the staple food on his table was actually very rich, but he didn't eat meat early in the morning like Beidi did, so he said with a smile: "People here eat like this for breakfast, and they eat greasy food when they wake up. of."

As she spoke, she sat down opposite Lu Xiao, and naturally took a vegetable bun from the table and started to eat it.She only used some snacks in Feng Junyang's car yesterday, but she is already hungry at this moment, even though she has an ordinary bun in her hand, she feels very delicious after eating it.

Seeing that she was still like this, Lu Xiao couldn't care less about it. He frowned in disgust, and reluctantly took a bun and gnawed on it.

Chen Nian had finished eating a bun before asking him, "I haven't asked you yet, where are you from?"

Lu Xiao glanced at her sideways, and asked back: "Didn't you see it all, why are you asking?"

Chen Nian smiled and said, "I think you look like someone from Beidi, but are you from the Xian clan?"

Lu Xiao did not hide his background from her, nodded and said, "You read that right, I am a member of the Xian clan, but I can only tell you this, and you don't need to ask anything else."

Chen Nian asked strangely: "Can't you even ask why my adoptive father asked you to protect me?"

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Nian pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Then can you tell me where my adoptive father is now?"

Lu Xiao still shook his head: "No."

Chen Nian was disappointed, but she refused to give up just like that. She smiled and changed the subject, but after a while, she began to inquire about Mu Zhanyue's whereabouts again. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao was extremely concerned about this matter. Be vigilant, once she changed the subject, she immediately shut up and refused to speak again.

Although Chen Nian was not reconciled, he had no choice but to give up temporarily, saying: "Although you have accepted my foster father to protect me, but right now I don't need your protection here, if you have something to do, just do it yourself, and I will see my foster father in the future I will explain it to him."

Lu Xiao said, "I have nothing to do but protect you."

Chen Nian is the most helpless to this kind of people who only accept death, so he can only say: "I have martial arts myself, and I am in this mansion, how can I use your protection."

Lu Xiao said mercilessly: "Your martial arts are too weak, you can't protect yourself at all. I will protect you by your side during the day, and at night you will sleep with that elder son, and that old man's protection is enough .”

Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately blushed, stood up abruptly, and shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! You just slept with that elder son!"

Lu Xiao was baffled by her sudden annoyance.The folk customs of the Xian clan are open, as long as lovers are happy with each other, they can sleep together even if they are not married, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Feng Junyang taking Chen Nian back to his bedroom last night, and he is telling the truth at this moment, I don't know Why did this woman suddenly turn her face.

He looked at Chen Nian with some confusion, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did you lose your temper when you were fine? Did you sleep in a daze last night? It was indeed you who slept with that son, not me."

Chen Nian was so angry that he almost lost his breath, but he still said it with a serious face, not like making fun of it at all.When Chen Nian thought about it, he once killed the hostage in his hand with a single blow. There was really no need for him to get angry with such a dazed member of the Xian clan.She took a few deep breaths before controlling her temper, ignored Lu Xiao, turned around and walked out.

Although Lu Xiao couldn't understand her temper, seeing how angry she was, he followed her.The two walked towards Feng Junyang's courtyard one after the other, and when they were almost at the gate of the courtyard, they saw a young man followed by several attendants coming from another road, looking in the direction that he was going to Feng Junyang's courtyard.

Chen Nian paused at his feet, and Lu Xiao behind him couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Before Chen Nian could answer, the man opposite heard the sound and looked over. His gaze first passed over Chen Nian's face, turned around on Lu Xiao's body, then fell back to Chen Nian, smiled at her, and nodded politely. .Chen Nian also nodded to him, moved out of the way, and signaled him to go first.

The man smiled again, and led the people into Feng Junyang's yard.

Chen Nian was guessing the identity of this person, when Lu Xiao asked from the side: "Who is this person?"

Chen Nian shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Lu Xiao asked strangely: "You don't know him? Why do you smile at him if you don't know him? Didn't you also nod to him?"

Chen Nian was speechless for a while, and didn't know how to explain these worldly things to the person around him. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "We Han people are like this."

Lu Xiao showed a very disdainful expression when he heard this.Chen Nian also didn't like him at the moment, seeing him like this, he said angrily: "Hey? What are you doing with me? I said I don't need your protection, why do you still follow me!"

Lu Xiao thought for a while, but turned around and left.

Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help calling him back and asking, "Hey! Where are you going?"

Lu Xiao stopped, turned around and looked at her strangely: "Go back to the residence, didn't you tell me to go back?"

Chen Nian suddenly felt dumbfounded, but he heard Lu Xiao say: "There is that old man in this yard, you don't need me to protect you by your side. I'll go back to my residence, and if you have anything to do, come and find me."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Chen Nian heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved, and secretly thought that although he was stunned, his bearing was really good.As she thought about it, she walked briskly into the yard, and saw Shunping standing on the porch of the main house with hands hanging down, and Feng Junyang's voice could be faintly heard in the room, as if he was talking with someone.
