221. Chapter 221: Insidious
Seeing Leng Xiaoxi like this, Qiu Zhenning hurriedly retreated lightly.
went downstairs, came to the back kitchen, personally ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup for Leng Xiaoxi, and placed two fragrant poached eggs in the hot noodle, sprinkled with chopped coriander, and personally served it upstairs.
knocked on the door, and he came to Leng Xiaoxi's side.
"Sister-in-law, our people have already eaten, I'm afraid you don't like to eat oily, so I made you a bowl of hot noodle soup, and I don't know if it suits my sister-in-law's taste. ”
As he spoke, he put the bowl on the cabinet next to the bedside and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you up, let's eat a little bit." ”
It just so happened that Leng Xiaoxi thought that if he could eat a bowl of hot noodles, Qiu Zhenning brought it to himself, and Leng Xiaoxi was moved by him again.
"Thank you, Zhenning, it's good to have you. ”
"Look at what my sister-in-law said, we don't talk about our own family. After Qiu Zhenning finished speaking, he retreated.
Leng Xiaoxi had just eaten noodles, and the rice bowl had just been put down, when Qiu Zhenning came in with a basin of steaming water.
"Sister-in-law, the water is hot, you wash quickly, go to the wind and cold, and be tired. ”
"Zhenning, thank you so much!" Leng Xiaoxi thanked again, no longer polite, after she washed up, the uncle and sister-in-law fought over and rushed to pour the dirty water.
In the end, Leng Xiaoxi still failed to snatch Qiu Zhenning, and Qiu Zhenning went out with dirty water.
Once again, his heart was soft, Leng Xiaoxi built a house for Qiu Zhenning's face for himself, and he was no longer awkward.
She felt that even if it wasn't for Ji Boming, even for Qiu Zhenning's sake, she couldn't watch You's family sleeping on the streets.
Thinking dizzily, soon, Leng Xiaoxi fell asleep.
Qiu Zhenning stayed in the room, counting the time, seeing that the fifth watch was coming, presumably, the people he hired should also act!
"Dangdang. Not far away, there was a sound of banging, and then, Qiu Zhenning saw a few black shadows, brushed across the street, and went straight to the Yuelai Inn.
Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Qiu Zhenning's dark eyes, he turned around and went to bed, covered with a quilt and clothes and lay down.
After a while, the sound of a dog barking and a rooster was heard, followed by a noisy shout.
"Don't rob it, you can't rob it! This is the family of Ji Boming, the lord of the town army. ”
The sound of the shopkeeper Gao Xiong crying and grabbing the ground.
Then there was the sound of a fight, a ping-pong man falling to the ground, and someone tumbling down the stairs.
Leng Xiaoxi was awakened from her sleep, she sat up reflexively, quickly put on her clothes, and put on her shoes on the ground.
Instinctively, Leng Xiaoxi slapped the wall next door and shouted for help, "Zhenning, Zhenning, you get up quickly." ”
Qiu Zhenning heard the sound, his eyes were sleepy, and he vigorously pushed open the door and broke in.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
Qiu Zhenning's voice fell, and two black-clothed men followed in.
In a hurry, Leng Xiaoxi found her and kept pressing under the pillow, and Ji Boming held the short knife that was given to her from the battlefield in his hand, put on a posture, and was ready to fight with others.
However, Qiu Zhenning has not known martial arts since he was a child, but the fearlessness he shows now makes Leng Xiaoxi can't help but admire.
"Sister-in-law. As he spoke, he pulled Leng Xiaoxi behind him and used his body to block the two bandits who entered the door.
"What do you want to do? Don't you know who is behind me?" Righteous and awe-inspiring, fierce and fearless, these three idioms are not exaggerated at all when applied to Qiu Zhenning at this moment.
"I don't care who you are? I know, sir, I'm going to take a fancy to the things in your carriage and the money in your pockets. ”
The man in black said, and at a glance he saw Leng Xiaoxi's beautiful face sticking out, and immediately smiled evilly.
"Yo, there's a little beauty here, and the uncles can play tonight. ”
As he spoke, the man pounced on him with his sword.
Qiu Zhenning was in a hurry when he saw this, and he pounced with his bare hands.
When Leng Xiaoxi saw it, he was anxious and shouted: "Zhenning, get out of the way, it's dangerous." "She's already stretched out her legs.
kicked the sword in the hand of the man in black away, and the sword flew past Leng Xiaoxi's ear, she turned her head to dodge, only to see the sword with a cold light, "Bang." It was nailed to the lattice with a piercing humming sound.
The sword in the black-clothed man's hand was kicked away, and when the person was stunned, Leng Xiaoxi flew up again and kicked the person in the chest.
The man stood unsteadily, and slammed back, and the man in black behind him reached out to support his companion, who rushed forward with a broadsword as he stood firm.
Leng Xiaoxi was ready to face the battle, put on a posture, and when the man in black stepped forward, she wanted to stab this person in the chest.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhenning saw two people, one was defeated by Leng Xiaoxi, and the other did not seem to be Leng Xiaoxi's opponent, and the goal he wanted to achieve had not yet been completed, so in a hurry, he shouted.
"Sister-in-law, you get out of the way. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed, as if he was in a hurry, and he stood in front of Leng Xiaoxi.
"Hmmm. There was a bang.
"Ah!" Qiu Zhenning, who was standing in front of Leng Xiaoxi, shouted, his body weakened, and he collapsed to the ground.
Leng Xiaoxi was anxious when he heard this, pulled out, and when he glanced at it, he saw a large patch of thorn red on Qiu Zhenning's chest.
"Ahh
Seeing this, the man in black who had fallen before hurriedly stepped forward, dragged the injured man out of the door, and the man shouted to his companion as he fled.
"Big brother is injured, come on. ”
When Leng Xiaoxi chased out of the door, where was the shadow of the man in black, and when he returned to the room, he saw Qiu Zhenning lying in a pool of blood, and it seemed that only the air in and out of breath were left.
"Zhenning, Zhenning, Zhenning! Why are you so stupid? Why are you standing in front of me. ”
Leng Xiaoxi looked at the bloody Qiu Zhenning, and a heart-wrenching heart-wrenching pain of sibling affection swept over her.
If Qiu Zhenning hadn't stepped forward regardless of himself, then now he would be covered in blood like him.
"Zhenning, Zhenning. ”
didn't care about anything else, Leng Xiaoxi tore Qiu Zhenning's clothes a few times to check, but fortunately, there was a false alarm.
Qiu Zhenning's injuries were not so serious, the sword of the man in black only cut through his skin, but did not hurt his internal organs.
However, the knife wound was a bit long, and the wound went straight to his navel from the position of his chest.
Before coming out, Leng Xiaoxi brought the necessary medicine box with him, and after processing, Qiu Zhenning quieted down and fell asleep deeply.
Counting overnight, most of the things on more than a dozen carriages were snatched away, and the coachmen suffered leg injuries, arm injuries, and a few broken legs.
Things were robbed, Leng Xiaoxi didn't care too much, nothing including money was not as important as people's lives.
The money she brought was not very much, Leng Xiaoxi only left enough to go to the capital, and the entanglement used on the road asked people to reorganize the convoy, and those who could go on the road continued to go on the road, and she wanted to stay and take care of these injured people.
On the afternoon of the second day, Ji Boming learned of the incident, and took four brothers, Zhang Hong, Yu Zhen and others, to Shimen Bridge non-stop, and met Leng Xiaoxi in the Yuelai Inn.
"Bomin. Leng Xiaoxi threw himself into Ji Boming's arms.
hugged him tightly, and Ji Boming's anxious mood along the way was reassured.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, let's be fine, it's okay. ”
"Boming, this time thanks to Zhenning's sacrifice to save me, if Zhenning hadn't stood in front of me, then I would have been injured. ”
Leng Xiaoxi nestled in Ji Boming's arms and said like this.
When Ji Boming heard this, he comforted Leng Xiaoxi for a while and came to Qiu Zhenning's bed.
Qiu Zhenning had woken up after a sleep, and when he saw Ji Boming coming to him, he struggled to get up, but because of the injuries on his body, he couldn't help frowning, and shouted out in pain.
"Ahh ”
"Zhenning, don't move, I heard your sister-in-law tell me, if it weren't for your stepping up, it would be your sister-in-law who is lying here now. ”
Ji Boming's eyes were blazing, and his eyes were full of eagerness, and he stepped forward and pressed Qiu Zhenning's shoulder when he wanted to get up.
"Zhenning, brother thank you, Zhenning, don't worry, your sister-in-law and I will remember what you did today. ”
"Brother, look at what you said, aren't we all family?" Qiu Zhenning said this, blushing and bowing his head, sighing.
"Brother, our mother is not sensible, I ...... before When I was young, I didn't know anything, Zhenping and I bullied you a lot, brother, you don't hate me when I was a child, do you?"
Qiu Zhenning apologized with a mouthful, a childhood thing, and the generous Ji Boming quickly smiled when he saw Qiu Zhenning like this.
"Zhenning, look at what you said, you have said that our family does not speak two words, and in the future, if your brother and sister-in-law eat, you will definitely be indispensable. ”
Although Ji Boming didn't have too many promises, this sentence was enough to bring Qiu Zhenning to tears of satisfaction.
It seems that what he has done, the injuries he has paid, and all the things he has paid will be rewarded a thousandfold or ten thousand times in Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi.
With the arrival of Ji Boming, the five brothers rested the convoy, took those injured people, and together with Qiu Zhenning, they set off again to the capital and returned to Ji Boming's Zhenjun Mansion.
Yang You, the chief housekeeper of the Zhenjun Mansion, saw that his wife came back, and took the family and maids to work for a while.
Qiu Zhenning was injured in front of Leng Xiaoxi because he was desperate, and Leng Xiaoxi ordered people to treat him with extra kindness.
He was arranged to be in the room closest to the room where Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming lived, so that Leng Xiaoxi could change his dressing and heal his injuries.
Ji Boming learned from Leng Xiaoxi about Qiu Zhenning's sacrifice to save him, so he naturally looked at his younger brother differently.
The people of the Zhenjun Mansion were robbed in Shimen Bridge, and the officials in this place were shocked and vowed to find out the real culprit and give Ji Zhenjun an explanation.
Due to the loss of goods in the carriage, the goods in Xi Niangzi's grocery store were not available for a while.
In front of the Xi Niangzi grocery store, there was a long queue of customers buying things.
