Houmen Yixiang
Chapter 185
Chapter 185
Zhang Ruomei squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips, looked away, and said nothing.
"If only the emperor had pointed me out to Shizi Xiao back then, then I would have been the one treated so tenderly by him today! Alas, what a pity, it seems that I can only wait for the next life!" After Wen Ruxiang sighed, she was curious. He asked: "By the way, Ruo Mei, Concubine Xiao Gui asked you to go alone just now, what's the matter?"
Zhang Ruomei's heart was absent and she said, "It's nothing, I just asked a few random questions."
Concubine Xiao Gui lived in Ganquan Palace, she lived in secluded places and did not leave the palace. Throughout the year, the number of times she left Ganquan Palace was no more than ten times, and the number of times she called female relatives into the palace was no more than three times.
The reason why Lu Xinyan was summoned before was because Lu Xinyan promised to Xiao Yichen. As Xiao Yichen's aunt, Xiao Guifei would summon Lu Xinyan, which was reasonable.
But Zhang Ruomei is nothing, Wen Ruxiang guessed that there must be something special, but Zhang Ruomei didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask anymore, anyway, seeing the jealousy in Zhang Ruomei's eyes that couldn't be suppressed even with all her strength, Wen Ruxiang knew that her goal had been achieved up.
She smiled and said: "Ruomei, I'll go to the princess and talk to the princess before I leave the palace. What about you, do you want to go with me to see the princess, or leave the palace?"
Zhang Ruomei said politely: "I will visit the princess next time."
The two parted ways at this point, Zhang Ruomei followed the path that Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen walked just now, and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace facing the light, thinking about what Concubine Xiao Gui said to her just now.
"If the emperor hadn't ordered the marriage, I would never have agreed to Yichen marrying a divorced woman as the concubine! If you want to marry, you should marry a noble family lady like you Ruomei! Oh, what a pity! Right now, I want to pick two worthy concubines for Yichen, and if I give birth to a nephew in the future, I will ask the emperor to make a decision to raise a second wife!"
The hint in Concubine Xiao's words could not be more obvious, but Zhang Ruomei felt even more uncomfortable.
With her background, how could her grandfather let her be a noble concubine?What's more, she originally had the opportunity to become a dignified imperial concubine, but now she only has the opportunity to become an inferior concubine, and she has to give birth to a male to be promoted as an equal wife!
But with this opportunity to marry Xiao Yichen in front of her, and with the support of Concubine Xiao Gui, if she doesn't seize it, she is afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life!
Zhang Ruomei was tangled in her heart!
-
As Wen Ruxiang was walking, she ran into Kong Yuxi.
She took the initiative to say hello, "Miss Kong, Happy New Year!"
Kong Yuxi nodded slightly, without stopping, and continued to walk forward.
Wen Ruxiang is just the lady of the third bedroom in the Hou's mansion, and she flatters Wu Wan. She and Kong Yuxi are completely different people, and the two have never had much contact with each other.
"Miss Kong, we are both members of the Princess Reception Group this time. I wonder if Miss Kong is interested in being with Princess Changping?"
Kong Yuxi stopped, "This is my job, no matter who I am with, I will do my job well."
"Miss Kong, among the members of the reception group this time, Princess Chang'an, Princess Zhuzhu, Miss Yan, Miss He, and Lord Mingzhi Township are all good friends and form their own faction. Princess Changping, Miss Zhang and I We have known each other for many years, and only Miss Kong is alone. Because of the matter of Young Master Kong, Miss Kong must hate the Ankangbo Mansion to the bone, and she will never join them! The enemy of an enemy is a friend. The princess and I welcome Miss Kong to join. "
"The purpose of the princess reception this time is to show Princess Oacha my demeanor of a Tianwu woman, not for fighting. Why do you talk about enemies and factions?" Kong Yuxi said: "I still say that, I will do a good job." Please do not worry about internal affairs, princess, leave!"
Wen Ruxiang said with a smile: "Miss Kong, go slowly. If Miss Kong changes her mind, you are welcome to come to me at any time."
The moment they turned around to each other, their eyes became mocking and cold.

Xiao Yichen honestly sent Lu Xinyan to the gate of Uncle Ankang's mansion today, "I won't go in, I will come to see you tomorrow."
The second day of junior high school is the day when the son-in-law comes to pay New Year's greetings, Xiao Yichen, as the son-in-law-to-be, will also come over tomorrow to formally pay New Year's greetings.
Now that there are no outsiders, Lu Xinyan asked directly: "You look so bad, is it because you have an illness?"
Xiao Yichen stretched out his hands to pinch her worried little face, and said to him from left to right, "It's the New Year's Eve, you can't curse your future husband like this, you know?"
That hand was colder than her face that was blown by the wind, Lu Xinyan touched her face that was pinched and hurt, "Be careful on the way back."
"Got it, it's cold outside, go in quickly." Xiao Yichen smiled and watched Lu Xinyan enter the gate of Uncle Ankang's mansion before turning around and getting into the carriage.
Lu Xinyan stood behind the door and did not go far. After hearing the sound of the carriage, she walked out from behind the door, looked at the carriage that was gradually going away, and said to Qingtong: "Qingtong, go find the little monkey and let him tell you Qi Fei, come to see me quietly later, don't let Shizi Xiao know!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Bai Zhi, Xiao Shizi is sick, right?"
"I haven't felt the pulse, so I'm not sure." Bai Zhi said, "However, judging from his complexion and vain footsteps, he may be suspected of having an attack."
Lu Xinyan bit her lips tightly, "Didn't it say that it would be three months sooner or half a year later? Why did you get sick so soon?"
"If Xiao Shizi calmed down and recuperated, it would be like this, but now it seems that he has not."
"Then...if you can't find Sanshenghua, how long can you last?"
"As soon as a month."
"One month?" Lu Xinyan gasped, "So soon?"
How could he die?Even though she knew at first that he was seriously injured and that his life would be in danger if no medicine could be found, she never thought that he would really die!
But now, she had no choice but to face up to this problem. Thinking about it, a little pain spread in her heart.
Qi Fei soon followed Qingtong, "Princess, the young one came here while the young master was resting, so feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Lu Xinyan frowned and said, "Why did your young master suddenly get sick? Doesn't he know he needs to rest?"
Qi Fei paused, "Young master has been taking a good rest before, but you caught cold when you came to see the princess last night, so..."
It was actually to see her!Lu Xinyan's eyes turned hot, "Is there any whereabouts of Sanshenghua?"
Qi Fei shook his head, "The Eldest Prince Oach left Oach ten days ago, and he is nowhere to be found. I heard that he took the Sanshenghua with him. There is the name of the Eldest Prince in the Oach envoys, so he must have left early. , will definitely come to the capital in the end, Suzaku Hall has dispatched personnel to trace the whereabouts of the eldest prince on all possible roads to and from the capital."
The arrival of the Wacha envoys will be about 25 days later, which means that the eldest prince Wu Shan will not appear until 25 days later, and Xiao Yichen may have reached the end by then...
No, we must find Wu Shan before he arrives in the capital and get the Sanshenghua!Can't wait until the end, what if Wu Shan is unwilling to hand it over in the end, or something goes wrong in the middle?Lu Xinyan secretly made a decision!
"I see, you go back, if you have any news, tell me at any time!" Lu Xinyan added, "You don't need to let your young master know."
"Yes, Princess, I will leave you."
-
On the morning of the second day of junior high school, Xiao Yichen arrived as promised with a gift.
Lu Ziyi received him, and after the two chatted casually, Lu Ziyi said: "Zhuzhu, take my brother-in-law around the mansion, and I will meet you later."
Xiao Yichen just wanted to go to the Huanxi Courtyard, "No need, big brother, you are busy with your work, it is enough for Zhuzhu to greet me."
Lu Ziyi glanced at him meaningfully, and Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "My lord, I'll take you to the Bofu Garden."
With his uncle watching from the side, Xiao Yichen had no choice but to keep a distance and leave behind Lu Xinyan.
It wasn't until he reached a place where Lu Ziyi couldn't see that he quickly took Lu Xinyan's hand.
His hands were still cold, Lu Xinyan didn't dislike him this time, instead wrapped his hands with two small hands to keep him warm.
The man in front of her glanced at something on her body, "Your hands are too small, why don't you use other places to keep me warm."
Lu Xinyan followed his gaze to look at her chest, and pointed calmly, "Did you mean here?"
Someone's eyes lit up, "That's right~"
Lu Xinyan said generously: "Okay, come on."
Xiao Yichen couldn't believe it, she was very angry last time.
"It's fine if you don't come."
"Come!" Xiao Yichen immediately stretched out his hand, and was about to put it in through the skirt of his clothes, when Lu Xinyan suddenly smiled sweetly at his back, and shouted: "Brother, are you here?"
Xiao Yichen immediately retracted his hand honestly, turned around and cupped his hand: "Brother..."
Looking up, who is there?Looking back, Lu Xinyan was already like a bird, and ran away with a crisp smile, and the laughter spread like a bell in the garden.
"Okay, dare to tease me, let me catch you to make you look good!"
Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and chased after that beautiful figure.
Although he was injured, he was still a man, with long legs and long feet, and he was fast. He caught Lu Xinyan in a short while.
He pressed her tightly against the pillars in the porch, and stretched his hands to the skirt.
Lu Xinyan screamed, covering her chest tightly with her arms, preventing him from succeeding.
He pulled her hand away with one hand, and he was about to succeed.
"Zhuzhu, brother-in-law, what are you doing there?" Lu Ziyi's voice sounded from behind.
Xiao Yichen quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and said solemnly: "Brother, we are... playing hide-and-seek."
Who are you kidding?Also hide and seek?Lu Ziyi put on a straight face, "What's the proper way to fight around in broad daylight? Zhuzhu, you're a girl, pay attention to your identity!"
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Understood, brother."
Lu Ziyi was about to leave, but she was worried after thinking about it, "Zhuzhu, you go to the kitchen and watch, brother-in-law, follow me to the main hall."
Or separate the two, more at ease!My sister, you can't easily take advantage of this stinky man!
Xiao Yichen lowered his shoulders, "Brother, you are busy with your own work, so you don't have to take care of me alone..."
Lu Xinyan pushed him and waved to him sweetly, "My lord, see you at lunch~"
Little heartless!Xiao Yichen glared at her.
"Brother! He stared at me!" Lu Xinyan yelled.
Lu Ziyi asked unhappily: "Brother-in-law, where did Zhuzhu mess with you?"
Xiao Yichen quickly put on a smiling face, "Brother, I didn't stare, Zhuzhu misread it, I just don't want to part with it..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lu Xinyan, showing a dangerous signal.
Lu Xinyan looked back at him provocatively, "Brother, he..."
Xiao Yichen coughed twice, "Brother, I have something to ask you! Let's discuss it in the main hall!"
"Well, let's go."
When Lu Xinyan went to the kitchen, she met Qin's second bedroom, her eyes were red.
After seeing her, her eyes became even redder, "Princess!"
"Second Aunt, what's the matter?"
"Princess, son-in-law Shen just sent someone to send a letter, saying that he has contracted a cold and is not feeling well. Xinyun wants to take care of him, so he will not come today. Since Xinyun opened the door of the uncle's house, it has been half a year. It's been a month, and I haven't been back once. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, princess, please help me, let me go to Shen's mansion to have a look, okay?" Qin asked in tears.
Shen Qingzhu became a eunuch, and put this on Lu Xinyan's head. At first, she wanted to marry Lu Xinyan and go back to torture her, but Lu Xinyan led her to Lu Xinwan's head, and Lu Xinwan pushed it to Lu Xinhan. In the end, Lu Xinyun became a scapegoat. Lu Xinyan thought with her toes, and she knew How miserable Lu Xinyun was after she married her!
She doesn't feel guilty at all.
Lu Xinyun used to partner with Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan to bully the original owner. After she and Li came back, they covered the river with broken porcelain and tried to push her into the water to disfigure her. If she was still the original Lu Xinyan, she would have ruined her appearance a long time ago. Maybe he couldn't figure it out for a while and hanged himself.
But Mrs. Qin never harmed Lin Ruyue and her. Apart from Lu Xinyun, the second room kept their tails between their tails, ignored the affairs of the mansion, and lived their lives behind closed doors.
For a weak mother who didn't feel sorry for her and was related to her, Lu Xinyan couldn't bear to ignore her, "Second Aunt, I'll send someone to find out."
Qin was grateful, "Thank you, princess, thank you!"
Xiao Yichen stayed in the uncle's house all day, but spent less than half an hour alone with Lu Xinyan, which made him extremely depressed.
After dinner, it was getting dark, so we had to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother, I will send off the prince."
Lu Ziyi had been working as a light bulb for a whole day, and at this moment she finally showed mercy, "Go early and come back early, Shizi Xiao, go slowly."
"Brother, wait." Xiao Yichen smiled all over his face.
After the two left, Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Shizi, I found that you smile more at your brother than at me."
Xiao Yichen rubbed his face, "Uncle, I can't afford to offend you! What if he regrets not letting you marry me, or speaks ill of me behind my back?"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "There are things in this world that you are afraid of? It's really rare."
Xiao Yichen didn't refute, "Well, what I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to marry you."
Lu Xinyan was silent for a moment. Given Xiao Yichen's current physical condition, these words had two meanings. One was that she was afraid that she would repent or there were external factors preventing her from marrying, and the other was that he was afraid that his illness would relapse early and he would not be able to marry her.
"Xiao Shizi, I dreamed about my mother yesterday. In a few days, I will go to Qingyan Temple to fast for a few days and pray for her. By the way... I will also pray for you."
"Okay." He just happened to be busy in a few days and didn't have time to accompany her, "I'll pick you up when I come back someday."
"On the 15th Lantern Festival."
"So long? I'll find time to see you."
"No need, take good care of your injuries. If your hands are still so cold when you come to see me next time, I won't see you." Lu Xinyan's bright eyes blinked like hooks, "If the day I come back, you will be well." , there is a reward."
In the darkness, someone understood, and his eyes lit up, "What reward?"
Lu Xinyan stood on tiptoe, touched his face lightly with her soft lips, "Like this."
The stern eyebrows melted like water at that moment, and the glazed eyes were as dark as an abyss. He pointed his finger at his lips, signaling that it was not enough.
Lu Xinyan pulled his hand away, smiling like a flower, "Just now is the interest paid in advance, the principal will be paid next time!"
Straighten his clothes for him, raised his hand to touch his head, "Heal your wounds obediently, be obedient, you understand?"
Her voice was as sweet as honey, Xiao Yichen took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay."
Lu Xinyun's situation is even worse than Lu Xinyan imagined. According to the news from Linlang Pavilion, since Lu Xinyun married, she has never left the house. No one in the Shen residence has seen her, including Shen Jingyun and Shen Qingzhu. Parents, and Shen Qingzhu's concubine.
If it wasn't for the courtyard where Shen Qingzhu lived, the big red happy letter hadn't been torn off, and meals were delivered regularly and regularly in the kitchen every day, almost everyone in the Shen residence would doubt whether Shen Qingzhu was really married again?
Lu Xinyan didn't tell Qin the truth, she only said that she ate well and drank well every day. The specific situation has not yet been found out, because everyone is visiting relatives for the new year, so it is not easy to find out. She will be free after the holiday Ask someone to check carefully.
Qin's family was relieved to hear that Lu Xinyun ate and drank well. She knew that Lu Xinyan was going to Qingyan Temple to fast, so she hurriedly said: "Princess, please take care of your affairs first, as long as the princess keeps Xinyun's affairs in mind."
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lu Xinyan took Qingtong Baizhi star Luo Shuyun to Qingyan Temple.
Qingtong and Baizhi accompanied Lu Xinyan in the meditation room, Xingluo Shuyun stood guard outside, and no one was allowed to disturb her.
At night, two slender black shadows left Qingyan Temple under the cover of darkness.
-
Four days later, a small town bordering on the outskirts of the capital in Southwest Anchu.
The city wall several feet high stands majestically, and the black-blue wall has experienced wind and rain, and the mottled marks show its antiquity and long history.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old man in Tsing Yi drove a black horse-drawn carriage and stopped in front of the city gate.
He jumped down in a graceful manner, and the corner of his green robe drew a graceful arc in the air, causing a burst of applause.
"Master, please get out of the car."
A white and slender hand gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and a luxuriously dressed youth in blue jumped out of the carriage.
The young man's appearance is not outstanding, but his eyes are as black as lacquer, which seems to have gathered all the spiritual energy in the world, and there are occasional flashes of arrogance between his brows, which makes that ordinary face so unremarkable that people can't help but look at it I can't move my eyes.
"Go in, Ah Qing."
The two were exactly Lu Xinyan and Qingtong who disguised themselves as men and disguised their faces.
The eldest prince Wu Shan has not been found for a long time. Because of her early onset of illness, Lu Xinyan has trouble sleeping and eating because of Xiao Yichen. Instead of waiting and worrying, it is better to come out and try her luck all the way to the southwest. No matter what the result is, she has done her best.
Now that four days have passed without any news, Lu Xinyan is even more anxious.
Because in two days at most, she had to go back and show up before the Lantern Festival. Sixteen entered the palace to accept the mission of the princess reception group.
"Eat whatever you want and continue on your way." Lu Xinyan said.
Their purpose is to rush to Shuangxi, Anchu, a bustling city with many famous historical sites, one of the holy places for foreigners to visit before dark.
Qingtong parked the carriage outside a small restaurant, and a shopkeeper with mustache came and welcomed them in with a smile on his face.
Qingtong tied up the horse, asked the shopkeeper for some horse feed to feed the horse, and then went into the small restaurant with Lu Xinyan.
It was already past the meal time, and there was no one in the small restaurant. The two ordered two dishes and one soup, and they were served quickly.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Lu Xinyan suddenly felt dizzy, her body went limp, and she fell on the table.
Qingtong stood up quickly, stretched out her hand and took out the dagger, but her whole body was so weak that she couldn't hold it at all. With a bang, the dagger fell to the ground. She bit the tip of her tongue violently to wake herself up instantly. Then there was a sharp pain in the back of her head, her eyes went dark, and she fell down on the table.
"It's a clever one, but unfortunately, after taking Lao Tzu's Zuixian San, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he has to obediently catch him without a fight!"
The shopkeeper, who greeted people with a smiling face earlier, stroked his mustache and was very proud, "It's tied up, locked up with the few water fish yesterday, and sold together at night."
"Yes, boss!" Xiaoer picked up one in one hand, "It's a pity that I lost a little weight."
The shopkeeper knocked him on the head, "It doesn't matter if he is thin or not, the other party pays by head, not by weight!"
Xiao Er hissed, "But Boss, why did the other party buy so many young men?"
"Collect money to work, why ask so many? Why don't you go soon?"
"Yes, boss."
When Lu Xinyan woke up, she felt that her whole body was restrained, and she was lying in a small movable space. It was very dark inside and she couldn't see anything.
The effect of the drug had not completely dissipated, she slowly rubbed, trying to find a point of strength to sit up.
Her foot accidentally touched an elastic object, Lu Xinyan kicked it lightly, guessing it should be a person based on her feeling, she whispered: "Ah Qing, is it you?"
The object didn't move, and suddenly a young man's voice came from the left corner, "Hey, I didn't expect someone to wake up like me."
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Lu Xinyan looked vigilantly at the source of the voice. In the darkness, she could only vaguely see his shining eyes and his dazzling white teeth when he opened his mouth to speak.
"I'm the same as you, the unlucky ghost who was arrested by the black-hearted store to sell silver. I heard that one tael of silver is a person. There are about ten people in this carriage, and now I am going to deliver the goods."
Lu Xinyan doubted: "Since you are awake, why don't you run away?"
The man said: "This ecstasy is extremely strong. Most people sleep for at least three days after being hit by it. Even if they wake up early due to abnormal constitution, the effect of the medicine will last for three days. I am weak all over and haven't eaten for two days. How can I escape? I found out that there is only one dead end!"
It made sense, Lu Xinyan asked again: "Why did the other party buy us?"
"It seems to be mining or military training. I just woke up at the time, so I didn't hear the details clearly."
Lu Xinyan was silent for a while, "Do you have something like a dagger?"
"I was arrested for two days, and my belongings have been searched long ago." The man shrugged, "If you have one, I advise you to save it for the critical time. Taking it out now is tantamount to asking for death."
Lu Xinyan's hands were tied to her body, but she could feel that the things in her sleeves were still there.
Fortunately, the other party hadn't had time to search, otherwise, if she and Qingtong were found to be daughters, the consequences would be disastrous.
So no matter what, she had to save herself first, otherwise it would be a tragedy when the other party came to search her.
"I have a dagger hidden in my boot," Lu Xinyan said, "Can you take it out for me?"
The man said disapprovingly, "I advise you..."
Lu Xinyan insisted: "I have a reason to take it out."
The man looked at her for a long time. In the darkness, her bright but firm eyes shone brightly. The man seemed to be touched, "Well, since you want to kill yourself, I won't stop you."
He struggled to get to her feet, lay on the ground with his back turned, and fumbled for a dagger from Lu Xinyan's boots.
Because of the drug used, the rope was just an ordinary hemp rope. With the last of her strength, Lu Xinyan used the dagger to slowly break the hemp rope with the help of the friction of the carriage shaking.
"Help me?" she asked the man.
The man shook his head, "No need."
If you can see his expression clearly, you will find that he is looking at Lu Xinyan with a pitiful look at this moment, "Let me remind you one last time, during the two days when I was arrested, I saw three people trying to escape, and they were all arrested in the end." Grab it, cut off its limbs in public, turn into a human pig, and throw it into the hut."
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing through her limbs and shivered, "Thank you for reminding me! But I have to try."
Feeling weak all over, and the space in the carriage was limited, she crawled and groped around, looking for Qingtong's figure. Fortunately, her eyes had adapted to the darkness, and she could barely recognize it when she looked carefully.
After searching around, she finally found Qing Tong beside the man. Lu Xin was overjoyed, "Qing... Ah Qing."
Qingtong was still in a coma, Lu Xinyan carefully cut the hemp rope on Qingtong's body with a dagger, and called her in a low voice.
"Second brother, there seems to be a sound from behind." A person driving in front suddenly said.
The carriage stopped instantly, "Which bastard wants to escape again?" Another person cursed, "I caught him, cut off his limbs and fed him to wild dogs!"
Before Qingtong woke up, the hemp rope on Lu Xinyan's body had been untied. If someone found her, she would be dead.
The heavy and messy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lu Xinyan was very anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more bored she became, the more her hands became uncontrollable, and the dagger fell into the carriage with a bang.
She reached out to touch the medicine in her bosom, but found that she didn't even have the strength to pull out the medicine bottle at this moment.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the faint light of the torch came in.
About to be discovered!
That feeling seemed to have been waiting in the abyss for a long time, waiting for someone to rescue him, but in the end he was looking forward to death.
Lu Xinyan closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the moment of judgment to come.
Suddenly, a dark figure fell in front of her, blocking the light of the torch, and her eyes suddenly went dark.
The cursing voice before said: "It turned out that a water fish couldn't stand the bumps and fell to the ground. You are the only one making a fuss! Isn't this a common thing?"
The curtain was lowered, and after a while, the carriage swayed forward.
Lu Xinyan felt cold all over, let out a long breath, "Thank you!"
The black shadow just now was the man who helped Lu Xinyan pull out the dagger earlier.
"I can help you here too." The man moved away, giving Lu Xinyan enough space.
"Ah Qing, Ah Qing..."
Qingtong groaned in pain, and Lu Xinyan was overjoyed, "Ah Qing, you're awake, are you alright?"
Qingtong opened her eyes, and vaguely saw a figure, "Little..."
"Ah Qing, we have been arrested, there are other people in the carriage."
Qingtong came to her senses, "Master, are you injured?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I was hit from behind with a stick. My neck hurt a little, my head was a little dizzy, and my body felt weak, but everything else was normal."
Lu Xinyan felt relieved, and told Qingtong what the man told her just now.
Qingtong said: "Master, give me the dagger."
Lu Xinyan didn't know, so he handed it to her, "The drug is so powerful that it takes three days to wear off, holding a dagger..."
Before she finished speaking, a bloody smell rushed into her nose, "Qing...Aqing, what are you doing?" Lu Xinyan breathed out.
"There is no time, we must leave as soon as possible!"
Qingtong sat up, tore off a piece of cloth, quickly tied up the wound on her thigh that was stabbed with a dagger just now, moved her hands and feet within a limited range, hugged Lu Xinyan, and was about to jump off the car.
Just as she was about to dance, someone suddenly grabbed Lu Xinyan's clothes, "Take me with you!" A mouthful of white teeth gleamed in the darkness.
"Now...we can't protect ourselves!" Lu Xinyan said, "If you come with us, you might be caught and have your limbs cut off."
The man's eyes sparkled, "I'm willing to gamble with you!"
Qingtong directly refused, "I'm sorry, the medicine on my body didn't work, and now I stabbed myself temporarily sober, I can't take two people away!"
The man didn't let go, and said confidently, "I just saved you, now I ask you to pay me back."
Because of this, Lu Xinyan didn't directly refuse just now, "Ah Qing, can you find a way to take the two of you away?"
Lu Xinyan opened his mouth, but Qingtong couldn't refuse, she tore her outer shirt into strips, tied Lu Xinyan to her back, picked up the man on the ground with one hand, opened the curtain, and jumped down.
"Second brother, it seems that something fell on the ground."
"Could it be some water fish that accidentally fell out of it? Stop the car and look behind!"
"Second brother, someone has escaped!"
"Grandma is a bear, it seems that I have no prestige at all! Don't you believe that I will chop off your hands and feet? Wait for me! What are you doing in a daze? Brothers, hurry up!"
The light and heat of the torch quickly approached Lu Xinyan and the others, and the light from the torch shone on his back, giving off a burning sensation.
Lu Xinyan looked back, and saw a dozen nimble men holding torches, quickly forcing them to the edge of the cliff.
(End of this chapter)
Zhang Ruomei squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips, looked away, and said nothing.
"If only the emperor had pointed me out to Shizi Xiao back then, then I would have been the one treated so tenderly by him today! Alas, what a pity, it seems that I can only wait for the next life!" After Wen Ruxiang sighed, she was curious. He asked: "By the way, Ruo Mei, Concubine Xiao Gui asked you to go alone just now, what's the matter?"
Zhang Ruomei's heart was absent and she said, "It's nothing, I just asked a few random questions."
Concubine Xiao Gui lived in Ganquan Palace, she lived in secluded places and did not leave the palace. Throughout the year, the number of times she left Ganquan Palace was no more than ten times, and the number of times she called female relatives into the palace was no more than three times.
The reason why Lu Xinyan was summoned before was because Lu Xinyan promised to Xiao Yichen. As Xiao Yichen's aunt, Xiao Guifei would summon Lu Xinyan, which was reasonable.
But Zhang Ruomei is nothing, Wen Ruxiang guessed that there must be something special, but Zhang Ruomei didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask anymore, anyway, seeing the jealousy in Zhang Ruomei's eyes that couldn't be suppressed even with all her strength, Wen Ruxiang knew that her goal had been achieved up.
She smiled and said: "Ruomei, I'll go to the princess and talk to the princess before I leave the palace. What about you, do you want to go with me to see the princess, or leave the palace?"
Zhang Ruomei said politely: "I will visit the princess next time."
The two parted ways at this point, Zhang Ruomei followed the path that Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen walked just now, and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace facing the light, thinking about what Concubine Xiao Gui said to her just now.
"If the emperor hadn't ordered the marriage, I would never have agreed to Yichen marrying a divorced woman as the concubine! If you want to marry, you should marry a noble family lady like you Ruomei! Oh, what a pity! Right now, I want to pick two worthy concubines for Yichen, and if I give birth to a nephew in the future, I will ask the emperor to make a decision to raise a second wife!"
The hint in Concubine Xiao's words could not be more obvious, but Zhang Ruomei felt even more uncomfortable.
With her background, how could her grandfather let her be a noble concubine?What's more, she originally had the opportunity to become a dignified imperial concubine, but now she only has the opportunity to become an inferior concubine, and she has to give birth to a male to be promoted as an equal wife!
But with this opportunity to marry Xiao Yichen in front of her, and with the support of Concubine Xiao Gui, if she doesn't seize it, she is afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life!
Zhang Ruomei was tangled in her heart!
-
As Wen Ruxiang was walking, she ran into Kong Yuxi.
She took the initiative to say hello, "Miss Kong, Happy New Year!"
Kong Yuxi nodded slightly, without stopping, and continued to walk forward.
Wen Ruxiang is just the lady of the third bedroom in the Hou's mansion, and she flatters Wu Wan. She and Kong Yuxi are completely different people, and the two have never had much contact with each other.
"Miss Kong, we are both members of the Princess Reception Group this time. I wonder if Miss Kong is interested in being with Princess Changping?"
Kong Yuxi stopped, "This is my job, no matter who I am with, I will do my job well."
"Miss Kong, among the members of the reception group this time, Princess Chang'an, Princess Zhuzhu, Miss Yan, Miss He, and Lord Mingzhi Township are all good friends and form their own faction. Princess Changping, Miss Zhang and I We have known each other for many years, and only Miss Kong is alone. Because of the matter of Young Master Kong, Miss Kong must hate the Ankangbo Mansion to the bone, and she will never join them! The enemy of an enemy is a friend. The princess and I welcome Miss Kong to join. "
"The purpose of the princess reception this time is to show Princess Oacha my demeanor of a Tianwu woman, not for fighting. Why do you talk about enemies and factions?" Kong Yuxi said: "I still say that, I will do a good job." Please do not worry about internal affairs, princess, leave!"
Wen Ruxiang said with a smile: "Miss Kong, go slowly. If Miss Kong changes her mind, you are welcome to come to me at any time."
The moment they turned around to each other, their eyes became mocking and cold.

Xiao Yichen honestly sent Lu Xinyan to the gate of Uncle Ankang's mansion today, "I won't go in, I will come to see you tomorrow."
The second day of junior high school is the day when the son-in-law comes to pay New Year's greetings, Xiao Yichen, as the son-in-law-to-be, will also come over tomorrow to formally pay New Year's greetings.
Now that there are no outsiders, Lu Xinyan asked directly: "You look so bad, is it because you have an illness?"
Xiao Yichen stretched out his hands to pinch her worried little face, and said to him from left to right, "It's the New Year's Eve, you can't curse your future husband like this, you know?"
That hand was colder than her face that was blown by the wind, Lu Xinyan touched her face that was pinched and hurt, "Be careful on the way back."
"Got it, it's cold outside, go in quickly." Xiao Yichen smiled and watched Lu Xinyan enter the gate of Uncle Ankang's mansion before turning around and getting into the carriage.
Lu Xinyan stood behind the door and did not go far. After hearing the sound of the carriage, she walked out from behind the door, looked at the carriage that was gradually going away, and said to Qingtong: "Qingtong, go find the little monkey and let him tell you Qi Fei, come to see me quietly later, don't let Shizi Xiao know!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Bai Zhi, Xiao Shizi is sick, right?"
"I haven't felt the pulse, so I'm not sure." Bai Zhi said, "However, judging from his complexion and vain footsteps, he may be suspected of having an attack."
Lu Xinyan bit her lips tightly, "Didn't it say that it would be three months sooner or half a year later? Why did you get sick so soon?"
"If Xiao Shizi calmed down and recuperated, it would be like this, but now it seems that he has not."
"Then...if you can't find Sanshenghua, how long can you last?"
"As soon as a month."
"One month?" Lu Xinyan gasped, "So soon?"
How could he die?Even though she knew at first that he was seriously injured and that his life would be in danger if no medicine could be found, she never thought that he would really die!
But now, she had no choice but to face up to this problem. Thinking about it, a little pain spread in her heart.
Qi Fei soon followed Qingtong, "Princess, the young one came here while the young master was resting, so feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Lu Xinyan frowned and said, "Why did your young master suddenly get sick? Doesn't he know he needs to rest?"
Qi Fei paused, "Young master has been taking a good rest before, but you caught cold when you came to see the princess last night, so..."
It was actually to see her!Lu Xinyan's eyes turned hot, "Is there any whereabouts of Sanshenghua?"
Qi Fei shook his head, "The Eldest Prince Oach left Oach ten days ago, and he is nowhere to be found. I heard that he took the Sanshenghua with him. There is the name of the Eldest Prince in the Oach envoys, so he must have left early. , will definitely come to the capital in the end, Suzaku Hall has dispatched personnel to trace the whereabouts of the eldest prince on all possible roads to and from the capital."
The arrival of the Wacha envoys will be about 25 days later, which means that the eldest prince Wu Shan will not appear until 25 days later, and Xiao Yichen may have reached the end by then...
No, we must find Wu Shan before he arrives in the capital and get the Sanshenghua!Can't wait until the end, what if Wu Shan is unwilling to hand it over in the end, or something goes wrong in the middle?Lu Xinyan secretly made a decision!
"I see, you go back, if you have any news, tell me at any time!" Lu Xinyan added, "You don't need to let your young master know."
"Yes, Princess, I will leave you."
-
On the morning of the second day of junior high school, Xiao Yichen arrived as promised with a gift.
Lu Ziyi received him, and after the two chatted casually, Lu Ziyi said: "Zhuzhu, take my brother-in-law around the mansion, and I will meet you later."
Xiao Yichen just wanted to go to the Huanxi Courtyard, "No need, big brother, you are busy with your work, it is enough for Zhuzhu to greet me."
Lu Ziyi glanced at him meaningfully, and Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "My lord, I'll take you to the Bofu Garden."
With his uncle watching from the side, Xiao Yichen had no choice but to keep a distance and leave behind Lu Xinyan.
It wasn't until he reached a place where Lu Ziyi couldn't see that he quickly took Lu Xinyan's hand.
His hands were still cold, Lu Xinyan didn't dislike him this time, instead wrapped his hands with two small hands to keep him warm.
The man in front of her glanced at something on her body, "Your hands are too small, why don't you use other places to keep me warm."
Lu Xinyan followed his gaze to look at her chest, and pointed calmly, "Did you mean here?"
Someone's eyes lit up, "That's right~"
Lu Xinyan said generously: "Okay, come on."
Xiao Yichen couldn't believe it, she was very angry last time.
"It's fine if you don't come."
"Come!" Xiao Yichen immediately stretched out his hand, and was about to put it in through the skirt of his clothes, when Lu Xinyan suddenly smiled sweetly at his back, and shouted: "Brother, are you here?"
Xiao Yichen immediately retracted his hand honestly, turned around and cupped his hand: "Brother..."
Looking up, who is there?Looking back, Lu Xinyan was already like a bird, and ran away with a crisp smile, and the laughter spread like a bell in the garden.
"Okay, dare to tease me, let me catch you to make you look good!"
Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and chased after that beautiful figure.
Although he was injured, he was still a man, with long legs and long feet, and he was fast. He caught Lu Xinyan in a short while.
He pressed her tightly against the pillars in the porch, and stretched his hands to the skirt.
Lu Xinyan screamed, covering her chest tightly with her arms, preventing him from succeeding.
He pulled her hand away with one hand, and he was about to succeed.
"Zhuzhu, brother-in-law, what are you doing there?" Lu Ziyi's voice sounded from behind.
Xiao Yichen quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and said solemnly: "Brother, we are... playing hide-and-seek."
Who are you kidding?Also hide and seek?Lu Ziyi put on a straight face, "What's the proper way to fight around in broad daylight? Zhuzhu, you're a girl, pay attention to your identity!"
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Understood, brother."
Lu Ziyi was about to leave, but she was worried after thinking about it, "Zhuzhu, you go to the kitchen and watch, brother-in-law, follow me to the main hall."
Or separate the two, more at ease!My sister, you can't easily take advantage of this stinky man!
Xiao Yichen lowered his shoulders, "Brother, you are busy with your own work, so you don't have to take care of me alone..."
Lu Xinyan pushed him and waved to him sweetly, "My lord, see you at lunch~"
Little heartless!Xiao Yichen glared at her.
"Brother! He stared at me!" Lu Xinyan yelled.
Lu Ziyi asked unhappily: "Brother-in-law, where did Zhuzhu mess with you?"
Xiao Yichen quickly put on a smiling face, "Brother, I didn't stare, Zhuzhu misread it, I just don't want to part with it..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lu Xinyan, showing a dangerous signal.
Lu Xinyan looked back at him provocatively, "Brother, he..."
Xiao Yichen coughed twice, "Brother, I have something to ask you! Let's discuss it in the main hall!"
"Well, let's go."
When Lu Xinyan went to the kitchen, she met Qin's second bedroom, her eyes were red.
After seeing her, her eyes became even redder, "Princess!"
"Second Aunt, what's the matter?"
"Princess, son-in-law Shen just sent someone to send a letter, saying that he has contracted a cold and is not feeling well. Xinyun wants to take care of him, so he will not come today. Since Xinyun opened the door of the uncle's house, it has been half a year. It's been a month, and I haven't been back once. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, princess, please help me, let me go to Shen's mansion to have a look, okay?" Qin asked in tears.
Shen Qingzhu became a eunuch, and put this on Lu Xinyan's head. At first, she wanted to marry Lu Xinyan and go back to torture her, but Lu Xinyan led her to Lu Xinwan's head, and Lu Xinwan pushed it to Lu Xinhan. In the end, Lu Xinyun became a scapegoat. Lu Xinyan thought with her toes, and she knew How miserable Lu Xinyun was after she married her!
She doesn't feel guilty at all.
Lu Xinyun used to partner with Lu Xinwan and Lu Xinhan to bully the original owner. After she and Li came back, they covered the river with broken porcelain and tried to push her into the water to disfigure her. If she was still the original Lu Xinyan, she would have ruined her appearance a long time ago. Maybe he couldn't figure it out for a while and hanged himself.
But Mrs. Qin never harmed Lin Ruyue and her. Apart from Lu Xinyun, the second room kept their tails between their tails, ignored the affairs of the mansion, and lived their lives behind closed doors.
For a weak mother who didn't feel sorry for her and was related to her, Lu Xinyan couldn't bear to ignore her, "Second Aunt, I'll send someone to find out."
Qin was grateful, "Thank you, princess, thank you!"
Xiao Yichen stayed in the uncle's house all day, but spent less than half an hour alone with Lu Xinyan, which made him extremely depressed.
After dinner, it was getting dark, so we had to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother, I will send off the prince."
Lu Ziyi had been working as a light bulb for a whole day, and at this moment she finally showed mercy, "Go early and come back early, Shizi Xiao, go slowly."
"Brother, wait." Xiao Yichen smiled all over his face.
After the two left, Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Shizi, I found that you smile more at your brother than at me."
Xiao Yichen rubbed his face, "Uncle, I can't afford to offend you! What if he regrets not letting you marry me, or speaks ill of me behind my back?"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "There are things in this world that you are afraid of? It's really rare."
Xiao Yichen didn't refute, "Well, what I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to marry you."
Lu Xinyan was silent for a moment. Given Xiao Yichen's current physical condition, these words had two meanings. One was that she was afraid that she would repent or there were external factors preventing her from marrying, and the other was that he was afraid that his illness would relapse early and he would not be able to marry her.
"Xiao Shizi, I dreamed about my mother yesterday. In a few days, I will go to Qingyan Temple to fast for a few days and pray for her. By the way... I will also pray for you."
"Okay." He just happened to be busy in a few days and didn't have time to accompany her, "I'll pick you up when I come back someday."
"On the 15th Lantern Festival."
"So long? I'll find time to see you."
"No need, take good care of your injuries. If your hands are still so cold when you come to see me next time, I won't see you." Lu Xinyan's bright eyes blinked like hooks, "If the day I come back, you will be well." , there is a reward."
In the darkness, someone understood, and his eyes lit up, "What reward?"
Lu Xinyan stood on tiptoe, touched his face lightly with her soft lips, "Like this."
The stern eyebrows melted like water at that moment, and the glazed eyes were as dark as an abyss. He pointed his finger at his lips, signaling that it was not enough.
Lu Xinyan pulled his hand away, smiling like a flower, "Just now is the interest paid in advance, the principal will be paid next time!"
Straighten his clothes for him, raised his hand to touch his head, "Heal your wounds obediently, be obedient, you understand?"
Her voice was as sweet as honey, Xiao Yichen took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay."
Lu Xinyun's situation is even worse than Lu Xinyan imagined. According to the news from Linlang Pavilion, since Lu Xinyun married, she has never left the house. No one in the Shen residence has seen her, including Shen Jingyun and Shen Qingzhu. Parents, and Shen Qingzhu's concubine.
If it wasn't for the courtyard where Shen Qingzhu lived, the big red happy letter hadn't been torn off, and meals were delivered regularly and regularly in the kitchen every day, almost everyone in the Shen residence would doubt whether Shen Qingzhu was really married again?
Lu Xinyan didn't tell Qin the truth, she only said that she ate well and drank well every day. The specific situation has not yet been found out, because everyone is visiting relatives for the new year, so it is not easy to find out. She will be free after the holiday Ask someone to check carefully.
Qin's family was relieved to hear that Lu Xinyun ate and drank well. She knew that Lu Xinyan was going to Qingyan Temple to fast, so she hurriedly said: "Princess, please take care of your affairs first, as long as the princess keeps Xinyun's affairs in mind."
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lu Xinyan took Qingtong Baizhi star Luo Shuyun to Qingyan Temple.
Qingtong and Baizhi accompanied Lu Xinyan in the meditation room, Xingluo Shuyun stood guard outside, and no one was allowed to disturb her.
At night, two slender black shadows left Qingyan Temple under the cover of darkness.
-
Four days later, a small town bordering on the outskirts of the capital in Southwest Anchu.
The city wall several feet high stands majestically, and the black-blue wall has experienced wind and rain, and the mottled marks show its antiquity and long history.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old man in Tsing Yi drove a black horse-drawn carriage and stopped in front of the city gate.
He jumped down in a graceful manner, and the corner of his green robe drew a graceful arc in the air, causing a burst of applause.
"Master, please get out of the car."
A white and slender hand gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and a luxuriously dressed youth in blue jumped out of the carriage.
The young man's appearance is not outstanding, but his eyes are as black as lacquer, which seems to have gathered all the spiritual energy in the world, and there are occasional flashes of arrogance between his brows, which makes that ordinary face so unremarkable that people can't help but look at it I can't move my eyes.
"Go in, Ah Qing."
The two were exactly Lu Xinyan and Qingtong who disguised themselves as men and disguised their faces.
The eldest prince Wu Shan has not been found for a long time. Because of her early onset of illness, Lu Xinyan has trouble sleeping and eating because of Xiao Yichen. Instead of waiting and worrying, it is better to come out and try her luck all the way to the southwest. No matter what the result is, she has done her best.
Now that four days have passed without any news, Lu Xinyan is even more anxious.
Because in two days at most, she had to go back and show up before the Lantern Festival. Sixteen entered the palace to accept the mission of the princess reception group.
"Eat whatever you want and continue on your way." Lu Xinyan said.
Their purpose is to rush to Shuangxi, Anchu, a bustling city with many famous historical sites, one of the holy places for foreigners to visit before dark.
Qingtong parked the carriage outside a small restaurant, and a shopkeeper with mustache came and welcomed them in with a smile on his face.
Qingtong tied up the horse, asked the shopkeeper for some horse feed to feed the horse, and then went into the small restaurant with Lu Xinyan.
It was already past the meal time, and there was no one in the small restaurant. The two ordered two dishes and one soup, and they were served quickly.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Lu Xinyan suddenly felt dizzy, her body went limp, and she fell on the table.
Qingtong stood up quickly, stretched out her hand and took out the dagger, but her whole body was so weak that she couldn't hold it at all. With a bang, the dagger fell to the ground. She bit the tip of her tongue violently to wake herself up instantly. Then there was a sharp pain in the back of her head, her eyes went dark, and she fell down on the table.
"It's a clever one, but unfortunately, after taking Lao Tzu's Zuixian San, no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he has to obediently catch him without a fight!"
The shopkeeper, who greeted people with a smiling face earlier, stroked his mustache and was very proud, "It's tied up, locked up with the few water fish yesterday, and sold together at night."
"Yes, boss!" Xiaoer picked up one in one hand, "It's a pity that I lost a little weight."
The shopkeeper knocked him on the head, "It doesn't matter if he is thin or not, the other party pays by head, not by weight!"
Xiao Er hissed, "But Boss, why did the other party buy so many young men?"
"Collect money to work, why ask so many? Why don't you go soon?"
"Yes, boss."
When Lu Xinyan woke up, she felt that her whole body was restrained, and she was lying in a small movable space. It was very dark inside and she couldn't see anything.
The effect of the drug had not completely dissipated, she slowly rubbed, trying to find a point of strength to sit up.
Her foot accidentally touched an elastic object, Lu Xinyan kicked it lightly, guessing it should be a person based on her feeling, she whispered: "Ah Qing, is it you?"
The object didn't move, and suddenly a young man's voice came from the left corner, "Hey, I didn't expect someone to wake up like me."
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Lu Xinyan looked vigilantly at the source of the voice. In the darkness, she could only vaguely see his shining eyes and his dazzling white teeth when he opened his mouth to speak.
"I'm the same as you, the unlucky ghost who was arrested by the black-hearted store to sell silver. I heard that one tael of silver is a person. There are about ten people in this carriage, and now I am going to deliver the goods."
Lu Xinyan doubted: "Since you are awake, why don't you run away?"
The man said: "This ecstasy is extremely strong. Most people sleep for at least three days after being hit by it. Even if they wake up early due to abnormal constitution, the effect of the medicine will last for three days. I am weak all over and haven't eaten for two days. How can I escape? I found out that there is only one dead end!"
It made sense, Lu Xinyan asked again: "Why did the other party buy us?"
"It seems to be mining or military training. I just woke up at the time, so I didn't hear the details clearly."
Lu Xinyan was silent for a while, "Do you have something like a dagger?"
"I was arrested for two days, and my belongings have been searched long ago." The man shrugged, "If you have one, I advise you to save it for the critical time. Taking it out now is tantamount to asking for death."
Lu Xinyan's hands were tied to her body, but she could feel that the things in her sleeves were still there.
Fortunately, the other party hadn't had time to search, otherwise, if she and Qingtong were found to be daughters, the consequences would be disastrous.
So no matter what, she had to save herself first, otherwise it would be a tragedy when the other party came to search her.
"I have a dagger hidden in my boot," Lu Xinyan said, "Can you take it out for me?"
The man said disapprovingly, "I advise you..."
Lu Xinyan insisted: "I have a reason to take it out."
The man looked at her for a long time. In the darkness, her bright but firm eyes shone brightly. The man seemed to be touched, "Well, since you want to kill yourself, I won't stop you."
He struggled to get to her feet, lay on the ground with his back turned, and fumbled for a dagger from Lu Xinyan's boots.
Because of the drug used, the rope was just an ordinary hemp rope. With the last of her strength, Lu Xinyan used the dagger to slowly break the hemp rope with the help of the friction of the carriage shaking.
"Help me?" she asked the man.
The man shook his head, "No need."
If you can see his expression clearly, you will find that he is looking at Lu Xinyan with a pitiful look at this moment, "Let me remind you one last time, during the two days when I was arrested, I saw three people trying to escape, and they were all arrested in the end." Grab it, cut off its limbs in public, turn into a human pig, and throw it into the hut."
Lu Xinyan suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing through her limbs and shivered, "Thank you for reminding me! But I have to try."
Feeling weak all over, and the space in the carriage was limited, she crawled and groped around, looking for Qingtong's figure. Fortunately, her eyes had adapted to the darkness, and she could barely recognize it when she looked carefully.
After searching around, she finally found Qing Tong beside the man. Lu Xin was overjoyed, "Qing... Ah Qing."
Qingtong was still in a coma, Lu Xinyan carefully cut the hemp rope on Qingtong's body with a dagger, and called her in a low voice.
"Second brother, there seems to be a sound from behind." A person driving in front suddenly said.
The carriage stopped instantly, "Which bastard wants to escape again?" Another person cursed, "I caught him, cut off his limbs and fed him to wild dogs!"
Before Qingtong woke up, the hemp rope on Lu Xinyan's body had been untied. If someone found her, she would be dead.
The heavy and messy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lu Xinyan was very anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more bored she became, the more her hands became uncontrollable, and the dagger fell into the carriage with a bang.
She reached out to touch the medicine in her bosom, but found that she didn't even have the strength to pull out the medicine bottle at this moment.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the faint light of the torch came in.
About to be discovered!
That feeling seemed to have been waiting in the abyss for a long time, waiting for someone to rescue him, but in the end he was looking forward to death.
Lu Xinyan closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the moment of judgment to come.
Suddenly, a dark figure fell in front of her, blocking the light of the torch, and her eyes suddenly went dark.
The cursing voice before said: "It turned out that a water fish couldn't stand the bumps and fell to the ground. You are the only one making a fuss! Isn't this a common thing?"
The curtain was lowered, and after a while, the carriage swayed forward.
Lu Xinyan felt cold all over, let out a long breath, "Thank you!"
The black shadow just now was the man who helped Lu Xinyan pull out the dagger earlier.
"I can help you here too." The man moved away, giving Lu Xinyan enough space.
"Ah Qing, Ah Qing..."
Qingtong groaned in pain, and Lu Xinyan was overjoyed, "Ah Qing, you're awake, are you alright?"
Qingtong opened her eyes, and vaguely saw a figure, "Little..."
"Ah Qing, we have been arrested, there are other people in the carriage."
Qingtong came to her senses, "Master, are you injured?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I was hit from behind with a stick. My neck hurt a little, my head was a little dizzy, and my body felt weak, but everything else was normal."
Lu Xinyan felt relieved, and told Qingtong what the man told her just now.
Qingtong said: "Master, give me the dagger."
Lu Xinyan didn't know, so he handed it to her, "The drug is so powerful that it takes three days to wear off, holding a dagger..."
Before she finished speaking, a bloody smell rushed into her nose, "Qing...Aqing, what are you doing?" Lu Xinyan breathed out.
"There is no time, we must leave as soon as possible!"
Qingtong sat up, tore off a piece of cloth, quickly tied up the wound on her thigh that was stabbed with a dagger just now, moved her hands and feet within a limited range, hugged Lu Xinyan, and was about to jump off the car.
Just as she was about to dance, someone suddenly grabbed Lu Xinyan's clothes, "Take me with you!" A mouthful of white teeth gleamed in the darkness.
"Now...we can't protect ourselves!" Lu Xinyan said, "If you come with us, you might be caught and have your limbs cut off."
The man's eyes sparkled, "I'm willing to gamble with you!"
Qingtong directly refused, "I'm sorry, the medicine on my body didn't work, and now I stabbed myself temporarily sober, I can't take two people away!"
The man didn't let go, and said confidently, "I just saved you, now I ask you to pay me back."
Because of this, Lu Xinyan didn't directly refuse just now, "Ah Qing, can you find a way to take the two of you away?"
Lu Xinyan opened his mouth, but Qingtong couldn't refuse, she tore her outer shirt into strips, tied Lu Xinyan to her back, picked up the man on the ground with one hand, opened the curtain, and jumped down.
"Second brother, it seems that something fell on the ground."
"Could it be some water fish that accidentally fell out of it? Stop the car and look behind!"
"Second brother, someone has escaped!"
"Grandma is a bear, it seems that I have no prestige at all! Don't you believe that I will chop off your hands and feet? Wait for me! What are you doing in a daze? Brothers, hurry up!"
The light and heat of the torch quickly approached Lu Xinyan and the others, and the light from the torch shone on his back, giving off a burning sensation.
Lu Xinyan looked back, and saw a dozen nimble men holding torches, quickly forcing them to the edge of the cliff.
