Xie Xuan expected her sister's reaction, but she didn't think anything about it, she just stuck out her tongue and silently hid behind Tao Congshi.
Tao Congshi said: "Actually, it's nothing to go, after all, no one can hide for a lifetime, our Xuan Xuan is bold." You've been thinking about this for a while, haven't you? It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, and when we finish swimming in Xie Chi, I'll take you there? β
"Okay." Xie Xuan nodded.
"Uncle!" Xie Jun was not happy. However, although she was full of resentment towards Tao, she was very respectful of this uncle, even if she was unhappy, but she could not change what her uncle decided, so as soon as the painting boat was close to the shore, she said angrily: "Uncle, I want to go home." β
At this time, it is already the evening, Tao has to go to the government office from the day after tomorrow, the Xuan Miao Temple is far away from the city, naturally the sooner the better, to live in the view for one night, just tomorrow calmly return to the city. He then ordered his entourage to send Xie Jun, Xie Tang, Tao Yuan and others back, and he himself found a horse and took Xie Xuan out of the city directly.
Xie Xuan got on the horse and looked back, and saw that Xie Jun was still glaring at her angrily. There was no way to explain the relief, so Xie Xuan could only make a grimace.
When he looked around the corner, he saw Xie Xuan and the others preparing to get into the carriage, but Han Jue didn't know when he got there, he was talking to Xie Jun, and then turned his head to look at him. Xie Xuan was already quite far away, looking at the lake and water, on the willow bank embankment, Han Jue was outstanding.
It's a pity that she doesn't want to marry him again.
*
Xuanmiaoguan is more than 80 miles away from the capital, Tao Congshi took Xie Xuan all the way to gallop, and arrived at the foot of Xuanmiao Peak in the evening. It is located in the middle of nowhere, few people visit, but the environment is quiet, because there was a princess who has cultivated here, the whole Taoist temple is also solemnly repaired, the house is exquisite, although it is not as strong as the incense in other places, but it is by no means a place of bitterness.
Although Xie Xuan thought carefully before she came, she inevitably had a little homesickness at this time, and let her uncle take her up the mountain on the trail, but she was silent along the way.
Tao didn't say much from time to time, and when he arrived at the archway, he panted and said, "It's finally here." β
This temple was built on the top of the mountain, riding two people from the mountainside to start the horse climbing, at this time each sweat heavy shirt, Xie Xuan also didn't care about the complicated feelings of Tao, and stood on the archway for a long time before it was recovered.
Tao Taifu only has a son and a daughter under his knees, Tao Congshi cherished his only sister since he was a child, Tao practiced in the view over the years, although the people in Xie Mansion have never come, Tao Congshi has to come to see every two or three months. The female Taoist priest in the temple also recognized him, and when she saw him panting in front of the archway again, she couldn't help but smile and said kindly: "The Yuxusan people are not in the temple today." β
"And when will she be back?" Tao Congshi was a little disappointed.
"Tomorrow morning," the female Taoist priest pointed to another peak, "she will stay in the temple over there tonight, and she will come back tomorrow before lunch." β
Tao Congshi thanked him, took Xie Xuan around the temple, and rubbed the dinner in the temple.
Because this mystical temple was once practiced by a princess, and it was built solemnly and neatly, several wealthy people like Tao came to practice. Such a person is not like the ordinary Taoist priest, although he himself entered the Taoist gate, but often has friends and relatives to visit, so there is a mountain villa below the Taoist temple, which is specially for visitors to stay overnight.
The villa is also neat and clean, Xie Xuan lived in the view for six years in his previous life, and when he saw this simple and tidy elegant room, he felt closer than the rich atmosphere in Xie's mansion, so in addition to his outer clothes, he lay down with his clothes, and listened to the sound of birdsong outside, but he was also comfortable.
It's just that after all, I have a lot of memories in my heart about Dow, who I have never met, and I am hesitant and expectant, resentful and wronged, and I sleep very unsteadily. When she woke up in the middle of the night, it was dark outside, and she turned around to continue sleeping, but she heard something else in the room, as if it was ...... Someone!
Feeling creepy for a moment, she turned her head and saw a dark figure lunge at her, putting the sack over her head, and then a hand reached in and stuffed a large walnut into her mouth, and then locked her arms with one hand, carried her up, and jumped out of the window.
Xie Xuan's mouth was painful from the walnut diaphragm, and he screamed and stretched out his feet to kick the big man, but he didn't make any movement.
The sack on her head was blown by the night wind, she was carried on the road and galloped, the deep mountains at the end of summer were still cool and cloudy, and it was even colder in the middle of the night, Xie Xuan's hands and feet were cold, and she was extremely panicked.
Gradually, when he reached a deserted place, the big man slowed down, walked through the dense jungle, and then threw Xie Xuan to the ground.
Xie Xuan was dizzy, his body was scraped by Zhi Ke, his hands were free, and he quickly removed the walnuts in his mouth, tore the sack, and in the dim skylight, he saw three bearded men next to him, each holding a bright blade.
"What people!" Xie Xuan was stupid, and couldn't think of who he had offended for a while, so he just stepped back.
The three big men didn't speak, as if they just wanted to kill her, and raised their knives to cut her.
Even if Xie Xuan is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, he still has the instinct to survive, and he runs when he gets up from the ground. There was a sound of soldiers behind her ears, she didn't hear it, and after a few steps she heard all the wails behind her, and she looked back in surprise, the three big men had fallen to the ground and rolled on their knees and screamed in pain, and there was a slender and straight figure standing in the middle.
The figure was somewhat familiar.
Xie Xuan hid behind the tree and peeked cautiously. There were clouds piling up in the sky, the light of the stars and the moon was obscured, and in the dimness, she heard the man call to her, "Xuan Xuan." β
It's Han Jue!
A heart finally fell back into his abdomen, and Xie Xuan asked cautiously, "Is it Brother Yuji?" β
Han Jue had already walked over to her, took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, hugged her in his arms without saying a word, and returned to the open space just now.
The steel knives of the three big men were stuck in a row in the trees, and they all seemed to have suffered serious knee injuries, and they were still rolling on the ground and howling in pain. Han Jue cut some withered thin branches from the tree and piled them together, because the mountain was damp, it took a long time to take a flint to light the pyre. When the firelight was lit, Xie Xuan saw clearly that Han Jue was wearing the unicorn suit in the daytime, and even the Yuehua knife on his waist was still there.
She felt strange in her heart, but this was not the most important thing at this time, she leaned over to the fire to keep warm, and asked, "Who are you?" β
The three big men also recognized Han Jue's clothes through the fire, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and begged for mercy in unison, "My lord, spare my life!" Spare your life! β
ββTsing Yi Wei is the emperor's personal guard of honor, and later he was in charge of torture, patrol and arrest, and the ability to torture and interrogate is unmatched by the government and the opposition, and its ruthless methods are terrifying. Over time, this represents the Qilin suit and the Yuehua Sword of Tsing Yi Wei and has become the most terrifying symbol, seeing this, it is more frightening than seeing Shang Fang's sword.
These three people are obviously experienced for a long time, and when they saw that it was Tsing Yiwei, they immediately didn't even dare to cry out in pain, and they were silent and lay in a row, their faces were all pale.
Han Jue lit the fire, then hugged Xie Xuan into his arms, used his back to shield her from the wind, and said coldly: "Didn't you hear the question? β
"We are...... Be...... The people of the South City Terracotta Division. β
"What are you kidnapping her for?"
"Yes...... Someone instructed us to arrest her and kill her. My lord...... Adults spare their lives!! The bearded man seemed to be so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, not caring that his knee was seriously injured.
Xie Xuan was surprised by his reaction, and when he looked up, he saw Han Jue's face was cold, and his cold gaze was like a sharp sword, which made people feel cold. He was already born very well, but now he is full of anger, surrounded by firelight, and in the dark night deep forest, there is a jade-faced Shura alive.
Han Jue slammed the Yuehua knife into the dirt and reprimanded, "Who instigated it!" β
"Yes...... Our Deputy Commander...... Luo Xiong. The man was frightened and confessed.
This name is very unfamiliar, but the word "Luo" in it made Xie Xuan's eyebrows jump, and she asked, "I just told you to kill me, and nothing else?" β
"I didn't ...... No, let us kill the girl quietly, and bury it in a deserted place, so that no one can find out. The man trembled, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he didn't know whether it was pain or fright.
Xie Xuan adjusted his breathing and tried his best to calm himself, "Who is that Luo Xiong?" What is the origin of his family and relatives? β
"He was the nephew of Luo Dingxi, the general of Zhenyuan, and later the decline of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, he served as a soldier at the border pass, and then somehow returned to Beijing and entered the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division and became our leader."
"And do you know who I am?"
"Little ...... The villain doesn't know, beg the adult to spare his life! The villain is only acting on orders, and he hopes that the adults will be gracious. Naturally, the men didn't take the ten-year-old girl in their eyes, and blindly only begged Han Jue for mercy.
Beside the fire, Han Jue and Xie Xuan's faces changed slightly.
Luo Xiong's name is very unfamiliar, but the name Luo Dingxi is not unfamiliar, he was a famous general back then, and he was once the emperor's favorite general, but later committed suicide in defeat and his family was defeated.
Xie Xuan's stepmother Luo Shi is Luo Dingxi's concubine daughter, after Luo Dingxi committed suicide, although the house was rewarded, in the end lost the pillar and gradually declined, she hooked up with Xie Zhen there, and secretly knotted her with the body of a yellow flower girl.
And today Luo Xiong instructed these people to kill her, besides Luo, who else could it be?
But how could Roche know that she had come to Xuanmiaoguan and sent someone over in such a hurry? Today's trip to the Xuanmiaoguan, only Tao Congshi's father and daughter, the three sisters and brothers of the Xie family and Han Jue knew, Xie Jun and Xie Tang could not tell the truth to Luo, where did she know about it?
was wondering to himself, but he heard Han Jue whisper in his ear, "That second lady in your house, how is your sister treated?" β
