Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 121 Rescue
Not long after Liu Lan left, Chen Wenxin lay down on the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly under the pretext of being weak.

She didn't know if the emperor and the others would notice Liu Lan.

Since he is in the name of a pearl merchant, he must have contacts in the city.

They could find out Hongliu's identity, but she didn't believe that the connection between Liu Lan and Hongliu could completely escape the eyes of others.

The kind of clothes she asked Liu Lan to make, with big sleeves, borders, and narrow waist, was a flag dress that she altered herself in the palace, the emperor should remember.

If the emperor's eyeliner is arranged in the city, they should be able to notice this.

She asked Liu Lan to use pearls as buckles again, hoping that if the Emperor's people noticed the specialness of this kind of clothes, they would be able to connect with this pearl merchant...

She was wrapped in a gray-blue quilt, shivering.

She didn't know whether Liu Lan would make clothes exactly as she wanted.

If he doesn't, if no eyeliner notices the suit, if they don't notice the pearl merchant--
Then after tonight, she might, really, never see them again.

The warm spring sun streamed in through the wooden window, and Chen Wenxin listened to the movement of people packing their luggage outside the door.

Laugh and chat.

This voice made her feel cold all over.

She wrapped the quilt tightly again and closed her eyes.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

She has done everything she can, and now it's up to God's will...

Yangzhou government office
"Report-"

A hurried soldier rushed into the inner courtyard, the emperor and Chen Wenyi both jumped from their seats.

"what news?"

The emperor took a roll of paper from the soldier's hand, on which was written the details of the tailoring of a women's Han suit.

Chen Wenxin also likes to make Hanfu in the palace, the emperor has heard of her a few times.

In this Hanfu, such as underskirts and large-sleeved shirts, the size requirements are extremely low.

For example, this skirt is tied with a belt, which can be worn by anyone, whether fat or thin.

If you want to change it, it's just the length of the sleeves and the length of the skirt.

The emperor saw the modification of the ready-made clothes, but the sleeves were enlarged and then bordered with a layer of gauze.The waist is tightened, and pearls are used as buckles...

Apart from the buttons, the way to change the clothes is clearly Chen Wenxin's habit!
The emperor suddenly remembered that Chen Wenyi had said that there was a suspicious pearl merchant.

He hurriedly asked the soldier, "Where did this pattern of making clothes come from?"

The soldier cupped his hands and said, "General Chen asked us to investigate the mansion of the pearl merchant, but we haven't found it yet. But we saw this man in a clothing store in the downtown area."

"Is there someone to follow?"

Chen Wenyi hurriedly asked him, the soldier nodded and said: "Three groups of brothers were sent to follow him, I will report back first. Even if he finds out about the stalking, it is impossible to get rid of them all."

Chen Wenyi was overjoyed, "Quick, go find that pearl merchant now."

He cupped his hands to the emperor and said, "Niannian must have used some kind of trick to get this traitor to come out to buy clothes. The clothes are clad with pearls, so it must be a clue she left for us."

"It's inconvenient for the emperor to come forward, don't worry. I will definitely bring Nian Nian back."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the yard.

The emperor looked at his back from behind, and for the first time deeply hated why he was the emperor.

Because he is the emperor, if he comes forward to save Chen Wenxin, everyone will only be distracted to protect him.

For Chen Wenxin, he couldn't go either.

He can only wait here anxiously...

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Chen Wenxin was hijacked, not a guest.

Why did the leader of the rebel come out to buy clothes for her in person, and prepare every detail of the clothes for her so carefully, and even inlaid them with pearls?

Is it...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and sat down on the chair sullenly.

Among the three groups of followers sent, one group has disappeared.

Thinking about it, the pearl merchant is not stupid, even though he ventured out to buy clothes for Chen Wenxin, he still kept his eyes open.

But he would never have imagined that he had long been the key target of Chen Wenyi's pursuit, and the people he sent to follow him were definitely not just a few soft-legged shrimps on a whim.

Chen Wenyi followed the soldiers to a river in the wild suburbs of Yangzhou. The mountain roads here are winding and difficult for ordinary people to find.

No wonder they never found a trace of them.

"General, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that the pearl merchant entered that ship."

Chen Wenyi nodded and said softly: "Ambush here first, and see that the heads of the people on the boat are shaking, and they seem to be packing. They must abandon the boat and leave Yangzhou, otherwise there is no need to clean up in such a big way."

The soldiers nodded, and buried themselves in a deep ambush among the bushes.

Seeing that it was dusk and it was going to be night soon, those rebels were probably planning to leave at night.

Hundreds of soldiers were ambushed in front of and behind this section of the river, and there were only a dozen or 20 rebels on board, so it was hard to fly.

If it is on the water, it is afraid that the place is narrow and cannot be used.

If they want to abandon the ship and go overland, it will be God helping me.

Chen Wenyi stared at the ship without relaxing for a moment, and suddenly saw a bright young girl walking out of the cabin.

There is a familiar woman beside her supporting her, it is the red willow girl on the Qinhuai River painting boat.

Chen Wenxin was wearing a red underskirt with large sleeves, and the pearl buttons in front of her looked gorgeous under the brilliance of the setting sun.

The wind on the river blew up her skirt, she lowered her head to cover her lips, and seemed to cough a few times.

The moment Chen Wenyi saw her figure, his heart finally returned to his chest.

I saw her turn around twice on the deck of the ship, and the people who carried the luggage around her were stunned looking at her.

"This dress is so pretty."

Chen Wenxin smiled and said to Liu Lan: "Thank you Brother Liu, I really like it."

Her complexion was still a little pale, but it was just rosy reflected by the clothes.

Liu Lan was a little embarrassed and said: "As long as you like it. Just go back after a while, it's windy outside."

Chen Wenxin was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was afraid that he would be exposed by standing outside, so he couldn't help apologizing, "It's because I didn't think carefully, I'll go back to the cabin first."

Her complexion suddenly changed from joy to panic, Liu Lan knew she had misunderstood.

He was really worried that Chen Wenxin would catch a cold, not that he mistakenly thought that she came outside on purpose to expose their whereabouts.

She is just a girl who loves beauty, got a beautiful new dress, and just wants to take a look in the sun.

He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't, just stand for a while, walking around is also good for your illness."

Chen Wenxin smiled at him and said nothing more.

In the woods beside the river, Chen Wenyi quietly waited for the night to fall.

He told all the soldiers several times that the woman in red was the concubine Qin, and she must not be hurt.

Even if it makes her unable to catch the traitor, she must not hurt her hair.

He repeatedly ordered like this, completely different from his usual calm and decisive.

Except for Yu Jie, few people understand why.

Yu Jie naturally understands, he understands how much brother and sister love his general has for Concubine Qin.

That woman is stunningly beautiful, intelligent, bright, gentle and pleasant.

She was worthy of her own general, and lost her usual demeanor because of her.

When it was getting dark, two carriages and a few fast horses were led to the river.

The boat that was originally parked in the river finally docked slowly.

The people on board began to unload the luggage, and many wooden boxes were loaded onto the carriage.

"Miss Chen, get in the carriage."

After all the things were moved, Liu Lan asked Chen Wenxin to get into the carriage, but she blushed and ignored him.

She turned to look for Hongliu, and whispered something in her ear, Hongliu gave her a knowing look.

"Brother, let's go over there and have a word, just wait a moment."

At first, Liu Lan couldn't figure out why she had to go to the woods to say something.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Second Master leaned into his ear and said, "I saw that you have never touched a woman. What a woman says about changing clothes or talking is all about relieving herself!"

Liu Lan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Go ahead, we'll wait."

They have horses, Chen Wenxin can't be stupid enough to want to escape.

Even if she really wanted to escape, she couldn't run far.

Chen Wenxin dragged the red willow into the woods.

Hongliu is a piece of chess that Nanming placed in the brothel. She is good at pipa, not martial arts.

This point was gradually observed by Chen Wenxin and Hongliu's contacts.

When Liu Lan came back just now, he said that someone seemed to be following him, but he had already killed him.

She knew that the emperor and Chen Wenyi must have noticed the dress, and also noticed the pearl merchant.

She was sure that the person who followed the report would never be easily killed by Liu Lan.

If he was really killed by Liu Lan so easily, it can only show that there are more than one group of people following him.

The wave of being killed was just to make Liu Lan relax her vigilance.

There are forests on both sides of this remote river, although it is difficult to be found, it also has a fatal flaw.
-
Once someone found them and ambushed in the woods, it was difficult for them to find them.

She was convinced that at this moment Chen Wenyi must be ambushing in the woods with his soldiers.

Chen Wenxin dragged Hongliu into the depths of the forest. Hongliu only thought she was a noble girl with a thin skin, so she wanted to go further.

Is it too far here?

Hongliu looked back suspiciously, her elder brother was a hundred paces away from her, and she didn't know martial arts, what if...

A sudden palm wind slashed at her neck, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the ground.

At the same time, Chen Wenxin was also pulled to the ground.

"Shh-"

The person pulling her was Chen Wenyi, and he covered his mouth with his hands, signaling her to keep silent.

The forests and bushes are dense here, and as long as one gets down low, the people by the river are absolutely invisible.

"Second brother, second brother..."

Chen Wenxin was full of grievances, and when he saw him, he burst into tears.

"Hey, the second brother knows that you have been wronged. Just watch, the second brother catches those people and vents his anger on you!"

Chen Wenyi did not leave, but only made a gesture to the ambushing soldiers.

Everyone by the river was wondering why Chen Wenxin and Hongliu had been away for so long, when Liu Lan suddenly remembered the person who followed her in the afternoon, and was startled.

I'm afraid, Chen Wenxin is sending a message to the person who rescued her in a disguised form!
At the same time, the soldiers lurking in the woods leaped away, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, to attack suddenly.

The sound of swords and swords, the fighting started, and blood was born.

Chen Wenyi blocked her eyes with his hands.

"Don't look, leave the murder to me, you just need to be safe and happy."
