Second-hand lady

Chapter 155

Soon they arrived at Lingrong County, the reins were pulled tightly, the horse neighed, and its front hooves were raised high. The two fell on the horse's back and were almost thrown off.

Xiang Qingchun felt that his heart was about to stop at that moment, and then he was so angry that he wished to ravage the little girl in his arms to let her know how powerful he was, and he must never do such a dangerous thing again.However, when the horse stopped, but saw that the person on the horse did not move, Xiang Qingchun knew something was wrong, pursed his lips, jumped off the horse first, and then directly hugged her off.

They had already arrived at the intersection of Lingrong County, because it was the night of the Lantern Festival, lanterns were lit everywhere in the street, and there were many pedestrians, all of them looked at the horse galloping suddenly.

Xiang Qingchun didn't want to attract attention, so he drove the horse to the side of the tree, then hugged the person in his arms fiercely, pinched her chin, her face was so cold and purple by the wind that it was so ugly, the only one who said At this moment, his beautiful eyes were distracted, his thoughts were not in order, and they were extremely ugly, which really hurt his eyes very much.But no matter how hurtful the eyes, the love and pity in my heart couldn't be stopped. I used the tall horse's body to cover up, lifted my cloak, and lowered my head to kiss her lips fiercely, biting and sucking fiercely, making her The trembling body finally regained its calm.

It was only half a minute of hugging and kissing, but it gradually warmed her body.

Knowing that this is not the time for tenderness, Xiang Qingchun quickly let go of her, wiped the moisture from her lips with his sleeve, saw her looking at him without blinking, couldn't help but blushed, thankful that now Insufficient light can hide a thing or two.

At this moment, there was another sound of horseshoes, and in a moment, he was in front of him, and he saw that it was the guard of the Anyang Palace named Chu San.

Chu San looked at the two with a stiff expression. Compared to seeing their delicate and gentle but powerful princess hugging the tall and mighty prince with her bare hands, Chu San couldn't believe that these two men...could not be As he imagined, right?

Xiang Qingchun ignored his weird expression and said, "Chu San, can you find out where those kidnappers are based?"

Chu San restrained his face, stopped paying attention to the shocking and unethical love between the two men, got off his horse, and said: "Please come down with the two young masters."

Tethering the horse under an old tree at the entrance of the street, Chu San led them around in Lingrong County, and soon left the crowd and came to a secluded alley.Just when they arrived, a man dressed as a guard appeared at the entrance of the alley. Chu San hurriedly said: "Chu Qi, how is it? You can see the son?"

Chu Qidao: "I followed the traces to Lingrong County. Because of the large number of people, the traces disappeared. However, I got some news from the local gangsters in Lingrong County. I found a suspicious house. Let's go check it out."

Chu San nodded, originally wanted to say to go with Chu Qi, but found that there is still a scholar who doesn't know martial arts here, so he can't take him with him.At this time, Wen Yanping said decisively: "Senior Brother Xiang, wait here a moment, let's go find out the news first."

Xiang Qingchun looked at her and didn't object. He just straightened her collar and said, "Be careful."

Wen Yanping's eyes dodged a little, and he replied weakly.

Xiang Qingchun stood at the entrance of the alley, watching the three of them quietly sinking into the darkness. After a long time, Fang raised his fingertips and gently rubbed his lips, his eyes flickering.

Not long after, Wen Yanping and Chu San came back.

"It is indeed a stronghold of abductees. We have inquired about it. There are more than a dozen abducted children locked in the cellar of the house. Most of them are young girls. Chu Qi stayed there to wait for an opportunity to save people. " Chu San said, with a worried face, "But I didn't see the third lady of the Wen family and my little son."

As soon as Xiang Qingchun's heart moved, he realized that it was probably the too beautiful appearance of the heir of Anyang Palace that made the kidnappers misunderstand that she was a girl disguised as a man. Although the age did not meet the requirements of their abduction, they were reluctant to give up.

"Could it be, or another stronghold?" Xiang Qingchun guessed.

Hearing this, both Chu San and Wen Yanping had a bad face.

Xiang Qingchun asked about the traces of Chu San and Chu Qi in detail, pondered for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that they are afraid that their traces will be exposed, so they divided into two groups, one of which has heavier traces, so we can find traces, and the other The destination is not here?"

After hearing this, Wen Yanping said anxiously: "Then, what should I do? Guigui is a girl, Guigui..."

Xiang Qingchun couldn't see her look of despair and horror, so he pulled her over and hugged her, ignoring Chu San's bulging eyes in horror, patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't worry, Guigui will be fine, Although she is small, she also knows martial arts for self-defense, isn't she very good at whipping? And Prince Anyang is here, so he will definitely protect her."

Under his comfort, Wen Yanping finally calmed down, and out of nowhere, he reached out and hugged his waist. It was really warm on this cold spring night. This kind of warmth even overwhelmed the coldness and despair of his childhood. memory.

After comforting her, Xiang Qingchun began to think again, breaking and breaking the clues provided by Chu San and Chu Si. Suddenly, Xiang Qingchun's expression was shocked, and he said to them: "You said earlier, at the place twenty miles away from the capital In the woods, apart from the traces of the wheels of the carriage, there are also some traces of grass bending?" Seeing Chu San nodding, Xiang Qingchun sneered and said, "It's really a good plan to deliberately set up a suspicious formation to lure the pursuers. It seems that these kidnappers Not only does he have a good mind, but he is also used to doing this kind of thing, so he understands the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. Let's go back to the woods!"

Although the two had doubts, they didn't question them. Even Chu San knew that this man was a disciple of Wen Liang, a wise man who is famous all over the world. He must have a good brain to make Wen Liang his personal disciple, and he can be so sure. , must have found some clues.

After the three went to get the horse, they got on the horse again and went back to drive.

Soon, they returned to the previous woods. The forest was pitch black with no end in sight.Chu San took out the fire folder, went to find some dry branches, made a simple torch, tied the horse to the tree, and the three of them walked into the woods.

"This forest is connected to Xiaota Mountain. There are a lot of prey, which attracts many hunters to hunt around. It is estimated that some hunters in the forest will use it as a cabin for rest. Maybe those kidnappers locked people there. Let's go and see." Xiang Qingchun said.

However, not long after they entered the woods, they saw a looming fire in the distance, like a light in the dark.Chu San hurriedly extinguished the torch in his hand, and the three of them carefully touched the fire.When they got closer, they realized that it was a cluster of bonfires, which were probably lit by the kidnappers to keep warm in the cold night.

But soon, this idea was overturned.

When they touched it and saw clearly the situation in the forest, they were speechless.

I saw there, five children gathered in front of the fire, although they were all trembling, with uneasy and frightened faces, but they did not make a fuss, among them were Prince Anyang's son who was as beautiful and lovely as a girl, and Xiaoxuetuan's noble Gui, the two children sat next to each other to keep warm.

"Expensive!"

Wen Yanping jumped out, rushed over, and hugged the little sister who was sitting next to Dabao into his arms, his voice choked up.

"Brother~" Xiao Guigui couldn't believe that she would appear, so he called softly, and then reached out to hug her back.

When the other children saw someone jumping out suddenly, they were still a little panicked, and then they calmed down when they heard Guigui call the other party "Big Brother", but there was a kind of surprise on their faces that they were saved, and there were even two around six or seven years old. When the little girl found out that someone had finally come to save them, she began to cry.

Chu San was also very pleasantly surprised to go over to pay his respects to the little prince, seeing that his little prince was fine except for his dirty clothes and a slap mark on his face, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.But soon, Chu San became worried again. The slap print on that small face looked so pitiful. If their prince saw it, the volcano would definitely erupt. At that time, the princess will be able to hold the prince in good time.

"Uncle Chu San, don't worry, if Dad gets angry, I, Mother, and Erbao will be here!" Dabao said with a smile, naturally knowing the reason for Chu San's frown.

When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xiang Qingchun looked around and found that there were only this group of children, the oldest one was Prince Anyang, and the youngest was four or five years old, and they were all cute-looking girls. The purpose of those kidnappers is to kidnap some beautiful girls and sell them for a good price.But why is there only a group of children here?What about those kidnappers?
Then, Dabao explained their confusion.

When watching a juggling show, he and Guigui were separated due to the crowds at that time. When they arrived at a street corner, their noses were covered by someone, and because the cloth covered their noses was stained with medicinal powder, they fell into a coma. So, he was taken out of the city like this.Halfway through, Dabao woke up and found that they were in a carriage with several children on board.Fortunately, these kidnappers thought he was a girl with no power to restrain her, so they didn't take much precaution against him, which gave him a chance to take advantage of it.

Before reaching the woods, the three kidnappers carried the five children out of the car and entered the woods, and then the carriage continued towards Ling'an City.Dabao waited for the ecstasy to pass, and after building up his strength, he broke away from the man who was carrying him, and then relied on his own strength to subdue the other two by surprise.After they were subdued, the children were gathered together, and the fire pocket was found from the kidnapper, and a fire was set up here, waiting for rescue.

Hearing Dabao's narration, Chu San found the three abductees not far away. Although they were still alive, they had multiple fractures on their bodies. If they were not treated in time, they might lie in bed for the rest of their lives.However, if they dared to abduct their family's heir, even if they killed them, it would not be a pity. After all, they are still children. Although they are powerful, they are also soft-hearted.

Xiang Qingchun frowned slightly, but he underestimated this boy, but, if he lit the fire so blatantly, wouldn't he be afraid of attracting the beasts in the forest or the companions of the kidnappers in the forest?

Dabao smiled at him, his small face was white and tender, just like a cute girl, and said: "Brother Xiang, don't worry, Chu San and the others are not vegetarians, I know they will find them immediately, that's why they acted so boldly .Look, isn't it now?" Most importantly, if they dare to come, Dabao intends to imitate his mother's feat in the past, and directly pick up the big tree and smash them all.

He is bold and careful, and in this respect, he is very similar to his father, King Anyang.

Seeing that they were safe, Xiang Qingqing didn't say anything, and discussed with Chu San to leave.

Then, Chu San left for a while, and after setting off a firework signal, he said to them: "Let's leave this forest first."

Several people nodded, Wen Yanping hugged Guigui, Chu San hugged two little girls, Xiang Qingchun also hugged one, Dabao hugged one, and everyone left with torches, as for the three kidnappers, they will meet them later When the person comes, let them take him back and hand him over to the Yamen for trial.

Just when they were about to leave the forest, there was a sudden sound of arrow strings piercing through the air. Chu San exclaimed "Be careful", and suddenly echoed and rushed towards Dabao. On Dabao's original position, there was an extra arrow. .Following Chu San's warning, arrows shot one after another in the darkness.

Wen Yanping threw the younger sister in his arms to Xiang Qingchun, turned around, shot the torch in his hand away, a figure fell from the tree, and the torch was also firmly inserted on the branch, and the dim light of the fire at the same time It also allows them to see clearly the enemies lurking in the trees.

Wen Yanping and Chu San protected them behind them, and the swords in their hands blocked those arrows.Soon, the opponent ran out of arrows, Wen Yanping and Chu San respectively rushed towards the enemy on the nearest tree, with a swipe of the dagger, they killed them without hesitation, and the warm and smelly blood sprayed on their faces, Make her a little dazed.

There were not many enemies, only five, and Wen Yanping and Chu San joined forces to quickly subdue them.

Everyone was still in shock, especially the children, who were so frightened that they cried, and Dabao who quickly reacted covered their mouths. Chu San also frowned and looked around vigilantly, fearing that there were still enemies hiding around.

Wen Yanping looked around in a daze, the night, the woods, the fire, the crying... Father... Mother...

"Master Wen, be careful!" Chu San exclaimed suddenly.

Wen Yanping was a little dull, and just about to turn his head to ask, he suddenly found that he was hugged from behind, surrounded by his warm body, and his trembling body was completely surrounded by the other person's arms.

"Well……."

A muffled groan sounded, she tilted her head, and her face happened to rub against his chin. The smell of blood diffused from her nostrils. She thought it was the blood of the enemy. She had killed someone just now, but soon, she realized that the blood was blood. The smell is stronger than before.

"What are you in a daze for?" the feeble voice exclaimed angrily.

Wen Yanping was still in a daze, until a scream sounded, Chu San pulled out the enemy who was hiding in the darkness and took off his limbs and joints, making him howl in pain, mixed with The terrified cries of those children.Suddenly, her eyes widened, she turned around and supported the person behind her, staring at the arrow in front of his chest, terrified.

"Fox spirit, you, you..."

"Mr. Xiang, are you alright?" Chu San came over, saw the arrow behind Xiang Qingchun, his face changed, and seeing that she was in a state of confusion, he frowned, and said, "Mr. Xiang is injured, so I have to take the arrow. It’s just that the position of the arrow is too far, so it’s not easy to take the arrow.”

"Then, what should we do then?" Wen Yanping looked like he was about to cry, holding the body of the person in his arms on his hands.

"Brother Xiang..." Guigui ran over, crying in a suppressed cry.

Dabao was afraid that she would disturb them, so he had to comfort him again.Looking at the group of crying children, Dabao had a terrible headache, and suddenly felt that although his two bear brothers were mischievous and their cries were frightening, they did not dare to cry even after being frightened, but these children were crying anyway, which was really a headache.

Fortunately, the guards of Anyang Prince's Mansion who received the news finally arrived at this time, and more than a dozen guards surrounded the surroundings.

The efficiency of the crowd was very high. After the children were settled, they checked the injuries on Xiang Qingchun's body, and they also looked a little ugly.At this time, Xiang Qingchun's face was pale and transparent due to excessive blood loss, but because he didn't pull the arrow, he was able to maintain his sanity. Looking at the little girl who was about to cry, he forced a smile and said: "Don't cry, I'm fine."

"...Then you are not allowed to die!" She said hoarsely.

If he didn't know that she was in a bad mood right now, Xiang Qingchun would almost vomit blood from her anger, and gritted his teeth: "I won't die, I still want to marry you."

"..."

The surrounding guards put on a blank face, as if they hadn't heard the shocking words: Damn it!How did two men get married!
Seeing him dying, Wen Yanping couldn't help thinking of his childhood memories. Tears finally flowed down, and he said incoherently: "You are not allowed to die, and you are not allowed to be like your father. Let's move the arrow right away, and you will be fine once you move the arrow." Oh... woah... Dad was the same way, he was shot by an arrow and died soon... Afterwards, mother died too... woo... If you don't die, I will marry you..."

Xiang Qingchun was a little dizzy, and when he finally heard her sobbing, his expression was shocked, and he reluctantly grabbed her hand and asked: "Really?"

How could she know what she said at this time, her face was full of tears, she nodded indiscriminately, and the tears fell on his face one by one, as if she had vented all the grievances, terror and grief in her childhood.

After a while, the guards finally found a simple carriage from a nearby house, and carried Xiang Qingchun onto it. Wen Yanping also took the opportunity to squeeze in, staring blankly at the dark wall of the carriage, holding a hand over and over again. Put it all over the place under the nose of the person in your arms, for fear that you will suddenly lose your breath.

The guards escorted them back to the city, and Dabao sat on another horse with Guigui in his arms, comforting the little Lolita in his arms, "Don't worry, Brother Xiang will be fine, didn't you hear? He said he wouldn't." If I die, I still want to marry your elder brother... Uh, marry your elder brother?" Dabao screamed, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to Dabao.

Chu San lowered his head, knowing that their elder son had finally committed a crime. Can such a thing be yelled out so loudly?If it gets out, Xiang Mansion and Taishi Mansion will become the laughing stock of the capital.If the adopted son of the Wen family turned out to be a girl, that would be even more serious, and the Wen family would also become a laughing stock... So, Dabao, don't make mistakes.

Guigui asked in confusion: "How can brother Xiang marry eldest brother? Does brother Xiang want to be our sister-in-law?"

"..."

Dabao was also flustered in the wind.

In a strange atmosphere, a group of people finally arrived in the capital.

It's past the closing time of the city gate, but at this time the gate of the city is still open and the lights are brightly lit. A group of guards are standing there, among them are Anyang Wang and his wife and everyone in the Wen residence.

Seeing them coming back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. King Anyang and Wen Liang hurried forward, one hugging their son and the other hugging their daughter. They were more excited than the children and their mothers. The two women and the fourth prince, who were a step behind, were all shocked. Helpless.

"Guigui." The fourth prince called out worriedly, for fear that what happened tonight would frighten his beloved little girl.As a prince, he spent the Lantern Festival with his parents in the palace. Later, when he heard that the Anyang Palace sent people into the palace to ask the emperor to open the city gate with a token, he heard that the eldest son of the Anyang Palace and the young lady of the Wen Palace disappeared together. , I was so anxious that I took the task automatically, took the token and sent it to King Anyang.

Seeing him, Xiao Guigui twitched his little nose, and called softly: "Fourth brother."

At this time, the guards also came over to tell them that there were still injuries in the carriage. Hearing that it was his disciple, Wen Liang's expression changed drastically, and he handed his daughter to the fourth prince who was watching eagerly. Sitting there dumbfounded, hugging the unconscious young man, with blood stains all over his face and body.

"Yanping, how are you doing?"

Wen Yanping stared at him blankly, then his eyes were red, he was wronged and weak, and he called out choked up: "Father..."

Wen Liang patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, Qingchun will be fine, let's ask the best imperial doctor in the palace to pull the arrow for him immediately."

Wen Yanping shook his head, "Go straight to Ji's Mansion in Qingping Lane and find Shigong! Shigong will definitely save him!"

Hearing this, Wen Liang remembered that there was another Imperial Physician Ji. Although the Imperial Physician Ji was a wonderful one, his medical skills were worthy of recognition, and he didn't talk too much at the moment. He asked people to rush the carriage to Qingping Lane.
