Chapter 69: The Kidnapping of Noble

There was a light breeze and drizzle outside the inn, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were also swaying in the wind, and all kinds of shadows were mottled and intertwined. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hua Pingsheng waited for his daughter not to go downstairs for a long time, and finally couldn't drink tea calmly, and said to his son, "Go and see what your sister is doing." ”

Hua Lang smiled, "It shouldn't be that she fainted from hunger in the room, that greedy cat, if you don't take her out, you won't be happy." ”

"Yes, my father and second brother are bad, so they didn't take me with them." The sound of the flower bell is crisp, and it is very easy to distinguish in a noisy sound. She was happy in her heart, and even people had a little more style. is already beautiful and glamorous, and this will be even more dazzling, attracting many eyes.

Hua Pingsheng called her over, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of eating in the room, he really didn't want his daughter to be looked at like this. Fortunately, he chose a corner, turned his back to those people, and couldn't see his face.

Hua Lang poured her a cup of tea and said, "Wine tasting is what men do, take you to the wine cellar to get a taste of wine, and those who don't know think you're an alcoholic." ”

"Not every man has a lot of alcohol, Brother Noble doesn't drink, but he is more temperamental than ordinary men."

Why does Hua Pingsheng think that these two sentences don't make sense? Daughter is not such a logical person, since his wife mentioned Shen Laibao and his daughter to him last time, he has thought about everything, and he also knows that his daughter actually likes Shen Laibao.

Shen Laibao will come to study with him every month, usually he is a neighbor, and his son is a good friend, I can't say how many hours a day I can stay together, but it's true that we will always see each other every day.

He liked the child's conduct.

Hua Pingsheng didn't know why she suddenly mentioned it, and when she turned around and shouted to Xiao Er to serve the food, she suddenly saw a few men who were familiar. After a closer look, he recognized that it was clearly the Shen family's nursing home.

He suddenly understood-it must be that the Shen family was also in this inn, and even if she didn't come down just now, maybe it was because she met Shen Laibao.

This coincidence was so surprising that Hua Pingsheng wondered for a moment if they had made an appointment, and ran outside if they couldn't meet in Mingzhou. But her daughter is not such a reckless person, and Shen Laibao will not be unaware of the drawbacks, let alone if she really wants to do this, she will not let the nursing home move around so brightly, this is not what Shen Laibao, who is always strategizing, will do.

And my daughter has been depressed since she went out, but now she suddenly has energy, which shows that it was indeed not made in advance.

It's a matter of chance.

Hua Pingsheng thought of the word chance, and couldn't help but smile, how much fate does this have to be to go in the same direction, enter the same town, and live in the same inn.

Hua Lang didn't notice that his sister was different from the previous two days, but he noticed that there was always an eerie aura behind him, as if someone was staring at him. He looked back uneasily, but he didn't see where the eerie aura came from.

He shook his head, he must have thought too much.

"Tsk, I'll just say it, even if I sit behind him, that idiot won't find me, if you have to pull me to another corner, I'm going to be blind."

It was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with one leg resting on another bench, sitting in an excessively chic posture, looking like a child. He looked leisurely over there.

The old man next to him bent slightly to listen to him, and didn't care about his mean tone, "Little master, Shen Laibao did live in this inn. ”

"Huh? Agreed? ”

"It doesn't seem to be

。 ”

After thinking about the boring plate at home, he finally chased after him on horseback on the night the Shen family left, and thought that he would not be able to catch up, but who would have thought that he would hear a mountain road collapse. He thought that with Shen Jinshan's temperament, he would definitely choose the best place to live, so he entered Wenxian Building. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Hua Pingsheng and Hua Lang sitting there.

So he also sat down secretly and saw Hua Lang, but he forgot about Shen Laibao. It's interesting to hear.

He thought for a moment and smiled. This smile even made the butler's heart skip a beat, and when he saw him hook his fingers, he couldn't help but sigh, and then bent down to listen to his command.

After listening to it for a while, he sighed secretly again--What kind of sin did the young master of the Shen family and the daughter of the Hua family make.

After the plate was ordered, he was so happy that he didn't even want to eat, he got up to lie down and recuperate, but who wanted to be pressed down by the butler's shoulder, "Three meals a day, can't be missing." ”

"My grandfather isn't here, so you can't pretend you didn't see it?"

The butler said with a straight face, "No." ”

I couldn't do it, so I could only sit down obediently, and finally said, "I want the largest room on the third floor, and no one is allowed in the rooms on the left and right." He thought for a while and said, "Of course, if the three rooms next door happen to be Shen Laibao Xiaohua and them, forget it, change me to another one." ”

The butler's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was surprised that he would give in, "Yes." ”

The plate said, there was nothing to do, and he looked at Hua Lang again, if he put a cold arrow on him in the back, he wouldn't notice it. Such an upright person can be a general in the future, or he will really become a military advisor.

&&&&&

As everyone knows, Shen Laibao, who has been targeted, is still standing in the corridor, thinking about what Fang Hualing said over and over again.

Such a straightforward little flower, how could he not like it.

Fortunately, she didn't hide it, otherwise she would have really been cranky.

The residual fragrance of the corridor had drifted away with the smoke and rain, but her smile was still engraved in Shen Laibao's mind. Thinking about it, I was a little out of breath.

When he returned to Mingzhou and returned to Nanfeng Alley, he went to find her mother and attack the future mother-in-law!

Then marry Xiaohua home, kiss her every day, hug her every day, talk to her, and watch her embroider. Copy and paste everything in her boudoir in his room, never next door again.

Thinking too much, it seemed that the matter had been completed, and Shen Laibao was a little dizzy.

He was dizzy for a while, and when he heard footsteps downstairs, he entered the room, stood behind the door and opened the crack to see. But the footsteps were to the right, and they didn't come here. He waited for a long time before he heard a slight sound, and there seemed to be a fragrance in the distance, which was the faint fragrance of dried flowers on Hua Ling's body.

Hua Ling saw that the door of the room where Shen Laibao lived was slightly open, and she also looked over there, and at this glance, she saw him, standing behind the door and looking at herself. She widened her eyes slightly, but she didn't stay, she just walked over quickly, and then smiled at him, and stuck out her tongue again, but she didn't stop.

Shen Laibao really wanted to go out and catch her, and then eat her, eat Xiaohua!

Hua Ling saw him looking at himself dryly, but his brother and father were still watching him go in the same corridor, and he couldn't stop talking to him, so he opened the door obediently and went in

Shen Laibao immediately looked at the wall, as if he could hear the sound of Hua Ling walking next door.

It seems to sit down, as if pouring tea.

Suddenly a very serious question occurred to him.

What should I do when she makes a noise in the shower?!

Shen Laibao only felt that his heart was hot, and his head also rumbled, and he almost spent a second thinking of all kinds of pictures that were inappropriate for children.

It was the age of the blood and qi Fanggang, Shen Laibao didn't want to think about it, but the thoughts came out in an instant, and he didn't even have a chance to control it. He hurriedly opened the door and prepared to go out to get drenched in the rain and calm down, who thought that he had forgotten that Hua Ling was back, so maybe her father and brother were also ......

"Brother Bao?"

Hua Lang exclaimed, extinguishing the flame in Shen Laibao's heart. Hua Lang took three steps and made one step, stepped forward quickly, patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Brother Bao, it's really you, Qiao!" ”

Shen Laibao laughed dryly, for some reason he felt like he was being caught, obviously he and Xiaohua only talked a few words, and he didn't have the idea of abducting his sister, "Qiao." ”

"Why are you here?"

"I went to Xiguan Mansion with my father to participate in this year's Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect the road ahead to collapse, so I stayed here."

Hua Lang even shouted too coincidentally, Hua Pingsheng didn't go over, just watched in the corridor over there, just when he saw his daughter's slow pace in the past, he was suspicious, and when he saw that she suddenly seemed to move on the crack in the door, he was even more sure. So it was not surprising that there was a Shen Laibao in that room.

Shen Laibao walked quickly in front of Hua Pingsheng and greeted him. Hua Pingsheng is still sighing in his heart about his daughter and his fate, and he feels at ease. Just because he really admires Shen Laibao, treats his daughter well, and being a son-in-law is enough. But he also knew that his wife had opinions about the Shen family, so he couldn't express his support for his daughter in person, so as not to hurt his wife's heart.

The marriage of the eldest son has become a disease in her heart, and the marriage of her daughter must not add to her heart.

Compared with Shen Laibaolai, I have to say that Hua Pingsheng cares more about his wife.

He said a few words to him with a gentle face, and Master Shen, who was originally asleep, suddenly got up and walked out of the house, "Treasure, how did I hear your Uncle Hua's voice...... Hey?! Brother Hua, it's really you! ”

It is said that when you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, you will always feel a little closer, and now Master Shen feels like this. He even called too coincidental, because he was very happy, so he took Hua Pingsheng to drink, leaving the two juniors.

Hua Lang knew that Shen Laibao was not strong enough to drink, so he didn't mention it. But Shen Laibao didn't want to stay in the house to make up too much, so he also took Hua Lang downstairs to drink tea and eat peanuts.

As soon as the four of them left, the people in the corridor returned to the house from the downstairs one after another, and the noisy inn began to quiet down.

Master Shen pulled Hua Pingsheng to drink downstairs, and Hua Lang pulled Shen Laibao to drink tea at the adjacent table. Shen Laibao saw that his father was in high spirits, so he didn't stop him. In addition to taking concubines, his father also likes to drink. Now that the problem of taking a concubine is gone, he just loves to drink, and it is rare for him to be happy, so he doesn't care.

Drinking alcohol is better than drinking tea and ending the game, after all, drinking tea will not get drunk.

Hua Pingsheng remembered his daughter and Shen Laibao, and he had a desire to let go for many years, and because his daughter was really married, it would be next door, how good. As soon as I was happy, I drank a lot.

Hua Lang felt that his father seemed to be happy tonight, and he didn't know why he was so happy

。 But after half an hour, the two got drunk, so Shen Laibao called someone to send them back to the room, and continued to peel peanuts with Hua Lang to eat.

"By the way, Brother Bao, do you know that my sister is here too?"

At the mention of Hua Ling, Shen Laibao's heart jumped, "I know." ”

"If it weren't too late, I should have called her down to chat." Hua Lang didn't know that they had already met, and sighed, "Brother Bao, do you really dislike my sister?" Is it bad for my sister to be like this? ”

Shen Laibao said seriously, "Xiaohua, she is very good. ”

"Then why don't you like her?"

Shen Laibao paused, looked at his friend's sincere and earnest eyes, and said, "I like Xiaohua." ”

Hua Lang saw that he said it so naturally, and thought that this liking was just a liking for friends and juniors, and sighed again, "You don't know those matchmakers, it's really annoying." Boasting about everything to death, but as soon as I inquired, where is this, especially the son of Zhizhou, Mo Gongzi, who is different from the outside, the matchmaker concealed everything that should be hidden, and praised the benefits to the sky, my mother was almost moved, and persuaded Ling Ling to choose the Mo family. ”

Shen Laibao silently lit a candle for Mr. Mo, who was lying down again, and only reacted after a while, "Isn't it the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, Aunt Hua is willing to let Xiaohua choose by herself?" ”

Hua Lang nodded, "Our family is different, my mother is not happy, but my father insisted, it seems that he persuaded my mother for many years, and my mother agreed to let us choose by ourselves." But because of my eldest brother, if my mother really doesn't look down on the son-in-law candidate, she will definitely not agree. ”

Shen Laibao knew that the critical blow of Hua Xu and Qin Qin to the aunt of the Hua family was too heavy, and he had not recovered until now. Listening to his mother, if Qin Qin can spread the branches and leaves for the Hua family, the aunt of the Hua family will not care. But I don't know what happened to the two of them, they haven't had a child in three years. This made her even more annoyed, and now Hua Lang said that Aunt Hua might interfere in Xiaohua's marriage, and he was not surprised.

Even if the initiative is really in Xiaohua's hands, he wants her mother to nod, after all, Xiaohua and her mother's relationship is so good, he really snatched Xiaohua, so how will she face her mother in the future?

Shen Laibao found that he needed to go through so many difficulties to bring Xiaohua home, and every difficulty was more attentive than doing anything, and he didn't want to take a wrong step and had nothing to do with her.

"Second Brother Hua, why don't you let Xiao Er get a pot of clear bars."

Hua Lang refused without thinking about it, "Don't think about drinking with your cup of scum, I can't carry you back to the room." ”

“……”

"That's right, Second Brother Hua is right, you are a cup of scum."

Both of them were stunned, just because the voice was too familiar. The two of them looked back suddenly, and the young man who came over with his hands and smiled was not a plate.

The plate walked lightly in front of them, sat down, and waved his hand, "Yo." ”

Hua Lang was surprised, "Why are you here?" Before he could answer, he was excited, "Fate! Fate! ”

Pan rolled his eyes, "Why, I came here after you." ”

Shen Laibao asked, "What are you chasing us here?" ”

"I'm looking for you guys, it's really boring for me to stay alone in Mingzhou, and everyone is going to have something wrong

。 He took a peanut in his hand, peeled the shell and ate one, but it was too hard to dry, and threw the remaining one into the "Shell Mountain", "The tea here is really unpalatable, why don't we go outside to drink tea." ”

Shen Laibao frowned, "You haven't drunk the tea here yet, have you?" ”

The plate paused slightly, took a cup of tea and took a sip, and his brows were twisted together, "It's really unpalatable, I've become a prophet." ”

Hua Lang looked at the empty teacup and poured another glass, "It's still delicious." ”

"I found a very good one, let's go together."

The plate behaved abnormally today, and Shen Laibao didn't move until he shouted again, and the two of them got up.

Outside, even the carriage was ready. The plate jumped on its own, and the two of them got into the car. Shen Laibao saw that his face was happy, and he seemed to be in a good mood, but he always felt that there was an indescribable treacherous ......

He really has no prejudice against the plate, but he is too unreliable to do things, and he always plays cards out of common sense, so he can't be blamed for being too careful.

He was about to ask, when he saw the plate touch his waist and took out a white porcelain bottle, but the palm was big. Hua Lang asked, "What is this you are taking?" ”

The plate blinked, "*Medicine." ”

"What's the use of your medicine?"

"Nonsense, of course it's for stunning." As he spoke, he poured the powder into the palm of his hand, "This powder is so fine, I don't know what it's mixed with." ”

Shen Laibao was suspicious, "Who are you going to stun?" ”

The plate looked up at them, his eyes bent, and suddenly swept the powder in his hand into their faces, and pounced on their faces.

This medicinal powder was discussed by him with the dark guard, and the effect is wonderful. Rao is two people have good martial arts, but they were pounced on at this close range, and they were completely defenseless, and they were dizzy. In the dark, I only saw a smug smile, and three words fell - "You guys." ”

&&&&&

The inn was almost empty, but at this time, a young man walked upstairs leisurely with his hands in his hands, humming a little song and slowly walking to the door of the flower bell room, kicking the door with his foot, and taking out a piece of cloth to cover his face.

Hanaling asked who it was, but no one answered. She looked at the shadow outside the door paper, and looked like Shen Laibao, but she seemed to be shorter. She couldn't imagine that anyone would come so late and not say anything, maybe it was because of the light and fire outside the house that she looked a little shorter.

She removed the bolt, and before she could open the crack in the door to see who it was, she saw a letter slip in through the crack. She looked up and saw a masked man standing outside the door, as if he had raised his hand to greet her. Before she could pull out the hairpin to protect the guard, she saw him turn around and jump on the fence, and he jumped directly from there!

She was startled, and instead of going out immediately, she closed the door tightly, for fear that someone was ambushing outside the door. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly picked up the letter and opened it.

Seeing the content of the letter made her even more shocked.

"Brother Er's neighbor has been arrested, and tomorrow at dawn he will bring fifty taels of silver to save him, and he is not allowed to make a noise."

There was no payment on the letterhead, only an address. Hua Ling clutched the letter tightly, a little unbelievable, Shen Laibao's skills are not bad, her brother's skills are even better, but why was he arrested so easily?

She was suspicious of this, and hurriedly collected the letter and knocked on her brother's door. After knocking a few times, I didn't see the door open, but the door of my father's room next door opened

。 Hua Pingsheng saw that it was his daughter knocking on the door and asked, "What's wrong, Lingling?" ”

"Daddy, where's the second brother?"

Hua Pingsheng said, "Fang Cai is still downstairs drinking tea with Noble, by the way, your Uncle Shen is also there, remember to say hello to him tomorrow morning, don't go this time, you are already drunk and lie down." ”

When Hua Ling heard this, she felt that what she said in the letter was true, and tried her best to hide her panic, "Then I'll go downstairs and say hello to Brother Laibao." ”

Hua Pingsheng also drank a lot of wine, and he was a little dizzy, and he didn't look at his daughter's expression carefully, so he didn't see the clues. But he was still thinking about his daughter in his heart, and reminded, "It's late at night, don't talk for too long." ”

The flower bell responded, and when his father closed the door, he ran downstairs with his legs and rushed to the first floor, almost hitting Xiao Er, who was about to deliver tea to various rooms.

The hall of Wenxian Building was empty, and there were no people drinking tea at all. Hua Ling was stunned and asked Xiao Er suddenly, "Were there two young people drinking tea here just now?" ”

Xiao Er sneered, "Girl, there are not many people who come here to drink tea, which one are you asking?" ”

Hua Ling thought about it for a while, and said, "They all stay here, they all live on the third floor, one surnamed Shen and the other surnamed Hua." ”

Xiao Er suddenly realized, "The two girls said are generous, remember to remember." Yes, I was still here just now, but then another person came, and the three of them went out together...... It looks like they never came back. ”

Hua Ling's heart chuckled, and she felt more and more that what she said in the letter was true.

She clutched the letter and paced back upstairs. Every time I walk a ladder, I think of a little countermeasure.

The letter asked her to pay the ransom alone, which can be understood as not threatening the kidnappers. But on the contrary, it is easy to catch her, so that there are three meat tickets.

So she had to go, and she couldn't listen to the kidnappers.

Hua Ling pondered for a moment, then called Xiao Er again and asked him for the address. I know it's not far from here, it's about two moments. She lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, it was half an hour back and forth, counting the time to negotiate with the kidnappers, no matter how you thought about it, an hour was enough.

figured out the countermeasures, and the pace of going upstairs suddenly became faster. She didn't go back to her room, but knocked on Mama Ge's door.

As soon as she opened the door, Hua Ling smiled and said, "Mama, I secretly drank some wine tonight, I'm a little tired, anyway, I don't have to get up early tomorrow to hurry, I want to sleep late." If you don't see me out of the room, open the door and call me. ”

Mama Ge scolded lightly, "I drank secretly again, and I had to tell your mother when I went back." ”

Hua Ling said a few good words, but Mama Ge didn't scold her, and asked her to go back to the room to rest.

When Hua Ling returned to the room, she immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter for help, to the effect that if she was still not in the room at the time, she must have gone to save people in distress, and they hurried to save them.

If she had come back before the hour, she would have burned the letter. If she can't come back and the kidnappers tie her up again, then this is a distress letter.

When she was ready, Hanazu lay down nervously and continued to think about how to act tomorrow to minimize the danger.

In the end, she thought again, what kind of person is so strange, such a kidnapping method is really weird.

And the person just now seems to be a little familiar.
