Chapter 22: Rescue

Ran Ning reacted quickly, grabbed the inkstone and threw it at the man in black who slashed at Bizhu, the man in black flashed, did not hit Bizhu, Ran Ning immediately grabbed Bizhu's hand and pulled her into the yard. The outside area is big, which is also convenient for them to escape and call people.

Running to the yard, Bizhu also came back to his senses and immediately shouted: "Help! There are assassins! The sound is particularly abrupt in the quiet of the night. But the strange thing was that it didn't cause any movement, and no one ran out to watch, not even the two rough maids who slept next door didn't go out.

The three black-bodied people were all good at martial arts, and it was easy to deal with the two weak women, so they quickly chased them out and surrounded the two in the middle.

Although Bizhu was frightened, he immediately stood in front of Ran Ning, opened his arms and said, "Don't hurt my girl!" ”

Ran Ning didn't completely shrink behind Bizhu, Bizhu was more like a sister to her, she couldn't watch Bizhu go to death, so she took the opportunity to ask, "Who lined you up?" If it's hired, I can pay double. ”

There is no double price Ranning, but it is still possible to cheat and buy time. And judging from Ran Ning's experience by Lao Wan Pingbo's side for so many years, the kung fu of these three people is not excellent, but it is enough to deal with people who are powerless.

The other party obviously didn't want to answer Ran Ning's question, and he didn't want to ignore Bizhu's obstruction, so he picked up the knife and slashed at the two.

It was too late, it was too fast, and a man in white fell to Ran Ning's side at the last moment, wrapped around her waist from behind, and with a shock of internal force, the three black-clothed people and Bizhu were shaken out together. Immediately tiptoed to the ground, and flew to the gate of the courtyard with Ran Ning, and at this time, a man in gray also fell into the courtyard and fought with three men in black.

Ran Ning turned her head and saw Zhong Su's calm face. looked at the man in gray again, it was none other than that little guy Xiaowu. Ran Ning didn't expect that Xiao Wu, who looked ordinary, would have such good kung fu.

"Are there any injuries?" Zhong Su let go of Ran Ning, turned her to himself, and looked up and down.

"Nope." Seeing Zhong Su, Ran Ning's heart also completely settled down. If Zhong Su hadn't been holding her just now, she would definitely have been blown away like Bizhu. Zhong Su protected her, she was naturally moved, but she completely ignored Bizhu, which made Ran Ning not only feel a little sorry for Bizhu.

"Hmm." Seeing that she was really fine, Zhong Su was relieved, and looked up to Xiao Wu and said, "Keep alive." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Wu responded and did not stop the fight in his hands.

Bizhu also came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Xiao Wu and Zhong Su, he also felt like he had found a backer, and he calmed down suddenly. In order not to disturb Xiao Wu, she crawled to Ran Ning's side. Ran Ning hurriedly helped her up and asked, "How is it?" Are you hurt? ”

"Girl, I'm fine." Bizhu grinned. Although it hurts a little to be knocked out, it's much better than being killed. And she felt that she had rough skin and thick flesh, and it was no big deal to fall, as long as Ran Ning was fine.

Ran Ning looked at her smirking, nodded her forehead, and laughed too.

At this moment, a string of well-trained footsteps accompanied by the firelight ran towards this direction, sounding no less than ten people. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three men in black turned around and tried to escape. But how could Xiao Wu let them succeed, he immediately kicked them to the ground, and quickly removed the jaws of the three people to prevent them from taking poison and committing suicide.

Soon, more than a dozen well-trained officials ran in, and judging by the speed, they should have been ambushed not far away. As soon as they came, Xiao Wu gave up his position, and the official stepped forward to tie up the three people. The head catcher who took the lead saluted Zhong Su with a fist and said, "There is General Lao." ”

Although Zhong Su has now taken office as the commander of the Jingwei, others are still more accustomed to calling him a general. Anyway, his title of general is still there, and the two official positions are both positive three grades, and it is not wrong to call either one.

Zhong Su nodded slightly and said, "The people in the temple are all drugged and unconscious, and it is estimated that they will not wake up until noon tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the lower officials will let people guard here to ensure the safety of the people in the temple." The head catcher said.

"Hmm." Zhong Su didn't want to say more.

The head catcher said: "I'm afraid it's not suitable to live in the temple tonight, Lord Xu means to invite Miss Ran San to stay in the yamen for one night, and tomorrow the interrogation will be sure to see what to do next." ”

Listening to the conversation between Zhong Su and the head catcher, Ran Ning was sure that they should have known that someone was going to kill her, otherwise Zhong Su and the officials would not have come so coincidentally. From this point of view, the net that Zhong Su laid for Yu is now at the stage of closing the net. Although she became the bait in the game, Ran Ning was not dissatisfied, she knew very well that without her bait, this game would not have worked, and she also believed that Zhong Su would protect her.

"Do you want to go?" Zhong Su asked Ran Ning what he meant.

Ran Ning thought for a while and said, "Now it seems that only the yamen should be the safest. ”

"That's good." Zhong Su nodded, asked the catcher to sweep the tail with the officials, and took Ran Ning out of the courtyard with a leap, and flew in the direction of the yamen.

"Huh? Girl! Bizhu saw that Zhong Su actually left her and there was no shadow, she was not there, who was serving her girl? Could it be that my uncle will be able to serve in the future?

"Stop screaming." Xiao Wu walked to Bizhu's side, hugged his fist and said to the catcher, "I will trouble a few big brothers next", then he surrounded Bizhu and chased after him, leaving only a scream of Bizhu. I don't know, I thought whose girl was robbed.

When they arrived at the Yamen, Lord Xu was already waiting for them.

"Lord Xu." Ran Ning saluted him.

"The third girl is safe and sound, and the house is relieved." Lord Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to Lord Xu's thoughtful arrangement." Ran Ning said.

Lord Xu smiled and waved his hand, and said, "This mansion doesn't dare to take credit, it's all General Zhong's thoughtfulness." If it weren't for General Zhong, I am afraid that it would be difficult to make progress in this case with just a jade pendant. ”

"Lord Xu is polite." Zhong Su said.

"Third girl, the house has already asked people to clean up the guest room, and you can live for the time being." After Lord Xu finished speaking, a few maids came out from behind, and at first glance, they came to serve Ran Ning, after all, there are generally no women in the yamen.

"Thank you, sir." Ran Ning thanked Lord Xu.

"The third girl will go to rest first, and the mansion will go to the front and wait for the official to bring someone back." Master Xu said.

"Okay." Ran Ning nodded.

Master Xu nodded to Zhong Su, and left with his master first. Ran Ning was about to follow a few maids to the backyard, when she saw Xiao Wu fall in front of her with Bizhu.

"Girl." As soon as he landed, Bizhu hurriedly ran to Ran Ning's side. When she began to be taken up by Xiao Wu, she was indeed scared, but she slowly calmed down, as long as Xiao Wu didn't throw him down, it was easy to say.

Seeing that Bizhu also came over, Ran Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We will stay here for the time being today and talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Bizhu didn't ask much, anyway, where Ran Ning was, she was there.

When they came to the backyard, the yard was very clean, and the maids saw that Ran Ning had no instructions, so they retreated outside the courtyard and waited. Bizhu fell out today, and now his body is starting to have some pain, Zhong Su asked Xiao Wu to ask a doctor to come and show Bizhu. At that time, he didn't care about such a little girl at all, but seeing that Ran Ning seemed to care about her, he asked Xiao Wu to go for a run. It's not that he cares about Bizhu, the little girl, but just wants to reassure Ran Ning.

Bizhu went to the room to rest first, and only Ran Ning and Zhong Su were left in the courtyard. Ran Ning was tossed like this, and the whole person was awake, and now she didn't feel sleepy.

"Are you going back?" Ran Ning asked. It's not early now, Zhong Su ran all the way to Zenyin Temple to save her, and brought her over, it must not be easy.

"Or else? Want me to stay? Zhong Su looked at her and asked. Today's moonlight is very good, and Ying Ranning's eyes are exceptionally bright.

A layer of blush appeared on Ran Ning's face, and she said, "After running such a long way, you are also tired. There should still be a guest room in this yamen, why don't you stay and rest? ”

Zhong Shu went to live in another courtyard, which was not too much.

Seeing her appearance, Zhong Su knew that Ran Ning cared about him, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile, and said, "I'm not leaving, you can rest assured." He knew that if he stayed here, Ran Ning would be able to sleep well. And today's round trip, in fact, he doesn't feel tired, as long as he rests for half an hour, but he is not ready to tell Ran Ning about this.

"I'll ask the maid to help you prepare your room." Ran Ning said.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the front to talk to Lord Xu about something in a while." He wasn't prepared to let Ran Ning worry about his accommodation.

"Okay." Ran Ning nodded. I don't know why, with Zhong Su here, she feels very relieved, but she can't say this, she has to keep her daughter's family reserved.

After a while, the maids sent two bowls of lotus seed soup to Ran Ning and Zhong Su for supper, Ran Ning asked the maids to prepare one for Xiao Wu and Bizhu, and the maids went out after responding. The things in the yamen are naturally not as delicate as those at home, but the taste is not bad.

Ran Ning and Zhong Su sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and slowly ate the lotus seed soup, which was filled with osmanthus flowers, which was even sweeter. Zhong Su was originally not interested in this kind of thing, but Ran Ning was eating, so he accompanied her to eat.

Xiao Wu quickly brought the doctor back, and just as he was about to go to the Bizhu room, he was stopped by Zhong Su and said, "Let's take a look at Ran Ning first." ”

Ran Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm fine." ”

"The doctor says it." Zhong Su said.

Xiao Wu knew Zhong Su's character, and he didn't dare to delay for a second, so he hurriedly asked the doctor to show Ran Ning first.

After checking the pulse, the doctor touched his goatee and said, "This girl is fine, don't worry." ”

"Not frightened?" Zhong asked.

"No, the girl is in good health." The doctor laughed.

Ran Ning smiled and said, "I'll just say it's no problem." Trouble the doctor to help my maid take a look. ”

"Okay, okay." The doctor answered, and then followed Xiao Wu to Bizhu's room, and called an extra maid for fear of inconvenience.

Zhong Su was a little surprised that Ran Ning was not frightened, and his understanding of Ran Ning seemed to have refreshed a layer, a delicate woman was not frightened in that state, this is not only a matter of psychological endurance, but also a matter of being well-informed, this kind of being well-informed is not only in seeing the world, but also in some things in knowledge. In this way, Zhong Su felt that Ran Ning might really be able to accept all of him.

The doctor prescribed some soothing medicine to Bizhu, saying that Bizhu was just frightened. As for the soreness of the body, it was just a fall, not a muscle, and it only needed to be recuperated for a few days.

Xiao Wu followed the doctor to get the medicine. Knowing that Bizhu was fine, Ran Ning was also relieved, and went back to the room after seeing Bizhu. There was only one maid left in the yard, and after a while, Xiao Wu came back and fried the medicine.

Seeing the candle flame in Ran Ning's room extinguished, Zhong Su jumped onto the big tree in the courtyard, sat on the thick branch and leaned against the trunk to close his eyes and recuperate, and he could also protect Ran Ning from the closest distance. As for the things that were originally going to go to the front to discuss tomorrow's arrangements with Lord Xu, he also put it on hold for the time being. Nothing is more important now than him staying in the courtyard to protect Ran Ning.
