The group went out of the Lion Tower, in addition to Meng Yingque, Jiang Ruyun and Jiang Ruhui, Shen Yu and Wei, there were seven or eight entourages, and those people surrounded outside, protecting Shen Yu and Wei in the middle, but they were not afraid of crowds.
After all, Wei is already a wife, even if she came out with her husband, she still found a hat to wear, Shen Yu thought it was interesting, so she also bought one, and occasionally looked at the brilliant lights outside through the long hanging gauze tent, which was also interesting.
Needless to say, this night was lively, and when I turned around a few street markets, they were all bustling with each other.
In the past, there were people traveling in the soft sedan chair of the incense car, but the houses in the city of Luling were exquisitely scattered, and the streets and alleys were not wide, so the lively night was blocked, and the cars and horses were almost difficult to walk, until now, in the most lively area, the soft sedan chair of the cars and horses had long been extinct, and the high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the poor people, were all strolling and walking, enjoying the night view.
The girl who passed by shook slowly, the golden jade pendant fell on her body, and a burst of fragrance swept in the night wind, so that the handsome young man Lang Jun couldn't help but stop. The lanterns on both sides are dotted like stars, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras comes faintly, and occasionally fish and dragons pass by, which attracts bursts of applause.
Shen Yu likes freedom, and when she walks through it, she is full of joy.
Meng Yingque is also a fun-loving person, taking them to see the upside-down walking artist, taking them to see the colorful dragon tied with lanterns, buying a mask to play with, and looking for some street pastries to taste, having a lot of fun.
On the opposite side, the sound of gongs and drums came again, and it was a group of lion dancers. The first person holds the hydrangea, volleys a few heels out of the head, provokes everyone's applause, followed by two big lions and two small lions, the big one jumps and pounces on the hydrangea, the majestic posture is vigorous, the small one jumps or rolls, and the cute and cute state.
Shen Yu thought it was interesting, and followed Meng Yingque and the others to the side to make way for them.
The lion gradually approached, and the leader was also an active person, from time to time the hydrangea stretched out into the crowd, causing the lion to shake his head and chase the hydrangea, if there was a timid girl, he was so frightened that he shrank back, but the lion poked out a strange thing from his mouth, very lively.
When he arrived in front of Shen Yan, the person who danced the hydrangea repeated his old trick, and took the hydrangea and shook it in front of Shen Yan's door, Meng Yingque was afraid that the little girl would be frightened after all, so he hurriedly stopped sideways in front of Shen Yan.
The lion behind chased the hydrangea and pounced, and in the laughter of the streets, just when everyone thought that it would be the same as before, and give out a delicate thing like a trick, the two people of the lion dance suddenly lifted the things they were wearing outside, and then stretched out their ape arms and pressed them on Shen Fei's shoulders.
This change came too quickly, Meng Yingque was the first to react, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Shen Yan, but he was just a scholar, how could he be worthy of the person who came to practice martial arts?
There was a "click" on his shoulder, and the person in the front twisted Meng Yingque's arm, pushed him to the side, and then shot like electricity, holding Jiang Ruyun and the two brothers on the periphery.
The figure behind him was faster, his hands were on Shen Yan's shoulders, and he jumped to the roof.
Shen Yu was shocked and shouted, fluttering and trying to struggle, but she was delicate and weak, that person was obviously extremely martial arts, and with a flip of his wrist, he locked Shen Yu firmly, stuffed a ball of things in her mouth, and a cold voice sounded in her ears, "If you move again, I will kill you!" β
On the night of Yuan Xiliang, suddenly a strong man shot to arrest someone, and the crowd below had already exclaimed, and the two people ran quickly against the roof regardless of it.
Shen Yu was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound in her mouth, and her limbs couldn't move when she was restrained, and when she looked around in a hurry, she saw two black-clothed people chasing after her.
Is that the one who stayed in the garden? A glimmer of hope rose in Shen Yan's heart.
However, this hope was soon dashed.
The two people who arrested her were obviously carefully selected and trained, and their skills and steps were extremely fast, Shen Yan was caught out of the city by Huo Zongyuan last time, and she had also seen the fight of everyone in the courtyard, and knew that Xu Yan's subordinates were not mediocre. But now, although the two people behind are also chasing after them like flying, they are always separated by a distance of four or five feet, and they can't catch up by half a step.
The cold night wind blew across her face quickly, like a cold blade rubbing against her skin, Shen Yan couldn't help but tremble, and fear rose in her heart, but she could still barely analyze the situation-
She is just an ordinary folk girl, how can she attract these two people with superb martial arts to make a move? Xu Yan came to the Linglong Mountain Pavilion in a hurry that night, and he has not shown up in Luling until now, so he must be doing something secret. She still remembered that time when he went to Liuyuan to ask to see him, Xu Yan was injured, obviously someone was fighting with him.
These people arrested her, could it be related to Xu Yan?
They didn't hurt people on the street immediately, they just grabbed her and ran like this, it seemed that they were running somewhere, they wanted to take her hostage to threaten Xu Yan?
Thinking about it, it seemed that only this reason was the most reasonable, and Shen Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She hasn't become Princess Duan yet, she is already in such a situation, if she really marries Xu Yan, then she can pay it back?
The roof and the lights under their feet quickly swept by, and in a short time they were out of the city, and the two men ran for a while, and there were people in front of them, and they waved their swords to stop the people who stayed in the garden behind. The people who stayed in the garden were not vegetarians, and they let out a strange whistling from their mouths, and gradually more people in black came to respond, but they still couldn't resist the overwhelming number of people here.
It seemed that when she arrived at the foot of Qixia Mountain, Shen Yu looked at the familiar silhouette and saw the manor getting closer and closer, and she was horrified in her heart - the place where these people arrested her turned out to be the Qin family's other garden!
So the person who shot tonight was Qin Xiong?
Before Shen Yu could sort out her thoughts from the shock, she was taken into the main house of the annex, where there were no usual tables and chairs, antique utensils, and the whole room was emptied, only the calligraphy and paintings on the walls that had not been taken off were hanging, vaguely revealing the wealth and comfort of the old days.
The man took Shen Yu through the hall and entered the room, and after several turns, he actually entered a stone room.
This stone chamber is similar to the Divine Pavilion in the capital, with stone-built walls and stone-made doors, but the space is cramped and low, and there are no windows. The oil lamps were burning all around, and the shadows cast at each other moved like ghosts, and the whole room looked dark and gloomy, like a prison.
Shen Yan couldn't move at this time, and let the man throw him on the ground, falling all over his body.
"Stay here, dare to run around, cut you!" The man did not cover his face, a scar on his forehead was eye-catching, and he stood with a knife in his hand, looking fierce and vicious.
Perhaps afraid that Shen Yan's shouting would alarm people, he stuffed the mass in Shen Yan's mouth tighter, and then commanded the empty room: "Take care of her." Then he turned around and quickly went out, and disappeared in an instant.
There was a soft sound of the stone door behind him, as if someone had walked in, Shen Yan was lying on the cold ground, and turned her head to look at the sound of the voice, and saw two sturdy mothers-in-law.
These two mothers-in-law Shen Yu actually knew each other, and that was the last time she was invited by Qin Yu to go to the Summer Palace to enjoy the flowers, these two people were carrying heavy buckets and were watering the begonias there. Shen Yu still felt strange at that time, she couldn't imagine that the woman's family had such great strength, so she couldn't help but look at it twice.
Who knew that now, these two people would appear here.
Just now, the two of them were not under the secret guard of King Duan, and they brought her here, obviously this seemingly rich and comfortable manor is an extremely important place, and the people who can appear in this stone room must not be mediocre.
The two mothers-in-law changed their short clothes at this time, with a heavy knife hanging from their waists, and their faces were expressionless.
Shen Yan stuffed something into her mouth, made two "woo" sounds, and looked up at them.
The mother-in-law continued to be expressionless, "Miss Shen, let's settle down, Anxin and others will come to you." Her words fell, but a familiar voice came from behind herβ
"Did you arrest Shen Fei? Let me see! β
Before the words fell, footsteps sounded, rustling close to Shen Yan, and with a swing of the corner of her skirt, a delicate embroidered peony appeared in front of Shen Yan.
Qin Fei?
Shen Yu was originally full of horror, but when she saw this old acquaintance, the horror in her heart suddenly faded.
Since the fire on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Fei has never met Qin Fei again, although this girl was arrogant and disgusting, she was always dressed as a glamorous second girl of the Qin family, she was coated with fine fat powder all the time, wearing gold and silver hairpins, and she was also outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament.
But now her eyes are slightly puffy, and her hair is casually pinned with an ebony hairpin, and two strands are scattered in her ears, which looks messy. Although the clothes on her body are still delicate and gorgeous, her body is no longer straight, and her waist and back are slightly rickety, and she looks depressed.
Shen Yu looked at her and clearly saw the yin owl in her eyes.
Gloom.
When she thought of this word, Shen Yu was shocked in her heart. She and Qin Fei have known each other for several years, even though she has long known that Qin Fei is different from the outside, but she is usually arrogant, even if she occasionally confronts Shen Fei, there is resentment and jealousy in her eyes, but she has never been so gloomy and fierce as now.
Shen Yu didn't know that Aunt Lu of the Qin family had been kicked to death by Qin Xiong, and remembered Uncle Dong's previous warning, so she only thought that Qin Fei would have this expression because of her unsatisfactory marriage, and her heart would inevitably skip a beat-
Qin Fei is the most angry and jealous, she has always regarded herself as a thorn in her eye, and now people are swords and I am fish and meat, just when Qin Fei is full of resentment, isn't this a big bad luck?
Sure enough, Qin Fei stood in front of Shen Fei, looked down condescendingly, and said coldly: "Shen Fei, you also have today?" The resentment and pleasure in her eyes were about to overflow, and her gaze fell on the knife at the woman's waist.
It was a scimitar, and it looked like it had come from a foreign land.
Qin Fei didn't care about it, and stepped forward to pull out the scimitar, but the mother-in-law immediately pressed the scabbard and said, "Second girl, this is not what you should play." β
"I'm not playing, I'm just killing." Qin Fei seriously raised his head, and then pointed at Shen Yan, "Kill her." β
