Chapter 14: Farce

The young woman walked up to the man and the woman, bowed her knees and said, "Thank you two for saving me." Her hair was a little disheveled, and she looked a little wolf bรจi, but she was well-mannered and generous, and she could see that she was well-educated.

The pair of men and women waved their hands when they heard this, and the blue-robed woman stepped forward to help her up, and said boldly: "Seeing that the road is uneven, the assistant should draw the sword, and the girl doesn't have to be polite." โ€

"Do you know where these people come from?" the man asked, pointing to the masked man on the ground.

The young woman shook her head blankly, frowned and said, "I don't know who these are, we have been safe and sound all the way from Xingyang to Chang'an, and I don't know how we are about to enter Chang'an City today, but we met this group of strongmen." โ€

The young man in a fancy dress beside her, who had been currying favor with her, suddenly spoke: "Cousin, don't work hard, I think this group of people must be refugees, look at you like the daughter of a rich family, so you want to rob money and lust! Fortunately, I bumped into it, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable, cousin, don't worry, I will protect you even if I do my best!"

"Yes...!" The young man who had been drooping his head suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, nodded like pounding garlic, and pointed at the masked man on the ground with a folding fan in his hand, and said categorically: "These people must be refugees from other places, seeing Miss Zheng's beauty, they are interested in seeing your beauty, and Brother Ruoqin is worried about your safety and secretly protecting you along the way, his heart for you is really visible to the sun and the moon, touching the heavens and the earth, the sea is dry and the stones are rotten......" The young man foamed at the mouth and said disgusting confession that the dead did not pay for their lives.

"That's enough!" the woman named Miss Zheng interrupted him angrily, and her cheeks, which were already flushed, were now even more red to the point of dripping blood.

Situ Ningbing listened to the words of the two young men, and then looked at the group of masked people lying on the ground, and also guessed about this matter, and forced a smile to relieve the siege of Miss Zheng: "How can I say that it is also close to the feet of the Son of Heaven in broad daylight, there are such bold villains, and they must not be spared!"

"No!" the two teenagers objected in unison.

"Why not?" the blue-robed girl raised her eyebrows and looked at the two teenagers, her tone was a little aggressive, "Aren't you in the same group as this gang of gangsters?!"

The blue-robed girl just said it casually, but when the two teenagers heard this, they denied it nervously: "No...!", "We don't know these people", "This matter has nothing to do with us!" "Our appearance here is purely a coincidence!", In the end, it was already a little incoherent.

Situ Ningbing looked at their helpless appearance, it was really funny, and he fell into the well very unkindly. "Don't be nervous, I think this girl..."Situ Ningbing glanced at the blue-robed woman inquiringly.

The blue-robed woman willingly reported to her family and said, "My surname is Ding."

Situ Ningbing nodded slightly at her, and continued: "Miss Ding is just joking with the two of you, look at your well-dressed Yu Xuanang, you know at a glance that you are from a famous family, how can you have something to do with a group of gangsters who block the road and rob them?

The two teenagers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Situ Ningbing speaking for themselves, and hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement: "Yes...!That's what we're worried about." โ€

Seeing that Pian pursed his lips and snickered, he secretly said that they were happy too early. Sure enough, Situ Ningbing's words changed sharply, and he said leisurely: "This group of people on the left and right is not a good citizen, so simply picking off the hamstrings and then going to report to the official will save them from escaping!" The tone was half-true and half-false, making it impossible to figure out for a while whether she was serious or joking.

However, the masked strong men who were lying on the ground wailing were so frightened that they instantly lost their voices when they heard the words, a few looked at Situ Ningbing in a daze as if judging the truth of her words, a few looked at the two young men in fancy clothes for help, and a few useless ones had already struggled to get up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Situ Ningbing didn't look at the strong men in black who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, but only quietly glanced at the man in black clothes, and the man was slightly stunned before he smiled back at Situ Ningbing, and his smile was as bright as the sun in June, so bright that Situ Ningbing almost lost his mind.

Hearing only the sound of "poof", the man pulled out the saber at his waist, and the midsummer sunlight shone mottled on the three-foot Longquan sword through the gaps in the willow leaves, gathering into a cold light dazzling eyes. Situ Ningbing was blinded by the cold light, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, and suddenly thought of something, squinting his eyes and looking at the long sword in the man's hand. The sword was faintly black, not the cold and penetrating black, but a deep and heavy black, and when it came out of the sheath, it brought people not fear but awe. She had seen this sword, Zhan Lu! It was the sword that the emperor gave to the eldest brother Situ Jihua, but because the second brother Situ Qiming loved this sword for good martial arts, the eldest brother generously transferred it to the second brother, and since then, the second brother has to carry this Zhan Lu sword everywhere he goes.

Thinking of the happy days when the second brother first got Zhan Lu, Situ Ningbing's heart swelled with warmth, she looked dignified and quiet when she was young, but how could a child of that age not like to play? She was born in a famous family and was pointed out to the prince as soon as she was born, her father and mother raised her according to the standards of the queen of upbringing, since she can remember, she has followed eight upbringing grandmothers to eat, walk and even sleep according to the standard posture, if it were not for the second brother to take her out to play from time to time, bring her novel gadgets and punish her in front of her parents, she really doesn't know if she will make the same choice because of nostalgia for Hongchen when she is on the line of life and death......

"Childe, please save the little people...!" The pleading voice in his ears recalled Situ Ningbing's thoughts that had drifted away, and woke up from the memories of more than ten years ago, Situ Ningbing frowned and looked at the masked strong men who begged for mercy.

"I'm right! You are really in the same group with these people!" Before the two young men in fancy clothes could speak, the Ding girl had already pointed at them and raised her eyebrows: "Say! You stopped passers-by from crossing this willow forest, and found a group of people to pretend to be robbers to tease this girl's intentions? What is the purpose?!" At this time, she also saw that the two people who blocked the way outside the woods must also be the people of these two gentlemen, and the painstaking arrangement of this play must not be any good intentions, ten likely** What's the shame of doing something!

Situ Ningbing looked at the two teenagers who were stammering and wanted to defend, but they didn't know how to justify their sweaty appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss Ding, if you don't figure things out, you can't wronged a good person." In the grateful eyes of the two teenagers, she pointed to the group of masked men and continued: "Instead of questioning these two sons indiscriminately, why should they 'embarras' this girl in broad daylight and in full view of everyone?" she used "embarrassment" instead of "flirting" , because the reputation of women in this world is the most important, especially if you look at this woman's words and deeds should be from the official eunuch and aristocratic family, from Xingyang and surnamed Zheng, if you guess correctly, this woman should be from Xingyang Zheng, one of the eight major clans, Bao Buqi is still the young lady of the Duke of Chu, if this is teased, it will be spread, although it is a victim, but after all, it will hinder her reputation.

Ding Yiqing's eyes were a little annoyed when she heard Situ Ningbing's previous sentence, but after listening to her last sentence, she thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, glared at the two teenagers fiercely, casually ripped off the masked scarf of a masked strong man closest to her, kicked him to the ground, stepped on his chest, and asked sharply: "Say! Embarrass this girl?!" Hearing Situ Ningbing deliberately say the word "embarrassment" very seriously, she also came back to her senses and swallowed the word "flirtation" back.

The strong man who had ripped off his face towel looked at the woman who was stepping on him, and then looked at the two young men in fancy clothes, hesitating whether he should tell the truth, just when he hesitated, there was a "poof" sound in his ears, and the cold light flashed in front of him, Ding Yiqing had already pulled out the sword behind his back, and inserted it between the middle finger and the ring finger of his right hand!

"I'll count to three, if you don't say anything, I'll cut off one of your hands, you carefully weigh how many hands you have to cut for me!" Ding Yiqing said fiercely, and there was a faint bloodthirsty aura on his body.

Although the strong man was strong and timid, he was very timid, and he didn't want to tell the truth as if he was so frightened by her. "Girl, spare your life! I said, I'll say everything! The younger one is Guide Zhonglang, who is the servant of Lord Tang's mansion, and is here to pretend to be a robber and pretend to rob and tease this girl on the order of my son-in-law. The strong man's voice became quieter and quieter, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
