When Ye Xuyao chased the traces of the carriage to the place where the carriage forked, he was relieved when he heard the report of his subordinates who were good at tracking the traces that the two carriages were separated, and there were people on both sides chasing them.

"Master?" The bandit stone couldn't hide the eagerness on his face, why didn't he care? Mrs. doesn't know whether to live or die now, it's really worrying, if it weren't for personal experience, I really don't know that someone dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?

Ye Xuyao glanced at the bandit stone, and said calmly and surely: "Mrs. is not in these two carriages. ”

If it was hijacked, the two carriages would not go separately, but in one direction, if the person who instructed it was Su Youwu, he would still have to negotiate terms with himself, let alone make things so complicated for him to guess, he could only say that his mother took the third way.

"You go back to the city immediately, secretly look for someone who is familiar with the road back to the city on this mountain road, and see where the exit will be?" He squinted his eyes at the deep wooded mountains, his mother would probably choose this path, according to his assumption, someone would lead the way, otherwise his mother would never have taken this road.

It's just that he is not familiar with this mountain road, and if he rushes in, he will only take a fork, so he can only wait at the exit.

"Yes, sir." The bandit stone stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly drove back to the city to find someone.

The moonlight shone on the rugged mountain road, Ye Zhongshi gritted her teeth and walked for two hours, she had never tried to walk such a long distance, and her feet hurt for a while, but she just tried her best to endure it.

Lin Li also frowned a small face, glanced at the majestic Mrs. Hou, and did not dare to express her opinion lightly.

The atmosphere was silent, only the strange sound came from the mountains, forests and grasses, and the scalp of people was numb when they heard it, and now the shape was stronger than people, and no one dared to complain.

Lin Long and the hired coachman are in the best condition, both of them have worked hard, and their bodies have adapted to the environment, and their steps are very steady.

Lin Long heard the rough panting, turned around and saw Ye Zhong's bitter gourd face, and said softly: "Mrs. Hou, let's rest for a while when we get to the front." ”

"This? There are pursuers behind, so let's hurry up. Ye Zhong's stubborn support, as an elder, it is really embarrassing to be so poor.

"Ma'am?" Brocade bit her lip and called, she couldn't hold it anymore, this difficult road was the first time she had experienced it in more than ten years.

Ye Zhongshi glared at her fiercely, she had to endure it, what qualifications did she have as a slave?

Lin Long glanced at the pair of masters and servants, knowing that Ye Zhong's family had a good face, and said: "Mrs. Hou, I happen to be tired, let's rest for a while, I'm afraid that the chasing soldiers behind will not be able to catch up with us for a while, and I can't get in the way." ”

Ye Zhong glanced at Lin Long appreciatively, but he was a smart and clever child, and he happened to go down the steps she gave, and smiled kindly: "Since you are tired, then let's rest for a while." ”

Brocade bit her lip, her eyes fell on Lin Long's face, and sure enough, she didn't die with the same person.

Lin Long hurriedly responded, and discussed a few words with the hired coachman who led the way in front of him, and then chose a relatively open place not far away, mainly to prevent the appearance of animals that threaten people's lives in the forest, of course, they didn't dare to light torches, at this time, lighting torches is to tell others where they are?

Ye Zhongshi sat on a raised stone, beating his legs, his feet were sore and irritable.

Lin Li sat directly on the grass, how could she care about being rude or not at this time, she was so big, she had always been the pearl of Lin Bai's palm, and she had never suffered this.

The brocade is also tired and paralyzed, she has always paid more attention to her behavior, but now she is not much better than Lin Li, and she doesn't even care about currying favor with Ye Zhong's, in order to prevent Ye Zhong's accident along the way, she not only has to work hard.

Ye Zhongshi has always liked brocade, and now seeing her like this, he is a little dissatisfied all his life, how can this maid be more delicate than her? The next person is the next person, she was about to cough lightly, when she suddenly saw the water wrapped in big leaves handed over by someone in front of her, and when she looked up, Lin Long's little face appeared in front of her.

It turned out that she had gone to get water, no wonder she didn't see her after she sat down, but she didn't suspect that she would leave herself and go first, because she was her future mother-in-law.

"Mrs. Hou, drink some water, this water is what I just found and brought back, I have drunk it, there is no problem." Lin Long said, the weather is already hot, and after walking down the mountain road for more than two hours, her throat has already smoked, and she also estimates that Ye Zhong's situation is not much better than her.

"You kid has a heart." Ye Zhongshi smiled, took the big leaf rolled up in Lin Long's hand, didn't care about dislike, and immediately swallowed it in a big gulp, God knows, this is the best ganlin she has ever drunk.

Regardless of whether Lin Long is sincere or takes the opportunity to please her, Ye Zhongshi will not think crookedly, how can such a person be? Look at the brocade, and then look at her daughter-in-law who is serious in the future, even if Lin Long only cares about resting and ignoring her at this time, it is reasonable, what she experienced on this day has not even relieved her, who has lived for half her life, not to mention the young girl's family?

Look at the forest glass again, isn't it clear at a glance? Ye Zhongshi smacked the slightly sweet mountain spring water in his mouth, and the high wall that was tired in his heart was slowly collapsing.

"Mrs. Hou, I'll rub your calves, there's still a long way to go." Lin Long said, if Ye Zhong's can't walk, it will be a drag on a group of people, she is relatively old, and she is used to being pampered, and it is reasonable that her body is not suitable for it.

Of course, she is not completely selfless, after all, this is a great guarantee for her ability to gain a foothold in the Ye family in the future, and building a good relationship with Ye Zhong's family is the top priority of her task, and with a good mother-in-law, her life can be better.

This little abacus is something that everyone can do.

Ye Zhongshi watched Lin Long lower his head and rub his calves, the feeling of the muscles being slightly crisp wandered among the hundreds of bones in his limbs, and he suddenly hummed slightly, and his eyes gradually became dyed with a gentle smile.

Brocade saw Lin Long rubbing Ye Zhong's calves, and then remembered that he was still someone else's maid, and no matter how tired he was, he had to serve his master first, so he quickly got up and hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss Lin, just leave it to the slave to do it, you can rest first......

She started to rub the calf of Ye Zhong's other foot, and her forehead was sweating, and at this moment she also felt Ye Zhong's unhappiness, and she was tired and confused for a while.

Lin Long was about to reply, but Ye Zhongshi grabbed her hand and pulled her up and sat beside him, "You are also tired, just rest, these things have their own people to do." ”

Brocade didn't dare to say anything, Ye Zhong's voice was neither high nor low, and even faint, but she just heard the dissatisfaction in her words.

Lin Long glanced at the brocade, since she served Ye Zhong's family, and Ye Zhong's family also said so, it would be wrong for her to be positive again, and immediately sat beside Ye Zhong's side with kindness, "Does Mrs. Hou want to drink some more water?" ”

Ye Zhongshi didn't want her to run around to get water for herself to drink, so he shook his head, "No, let's hurry up and rest for a while." ”

Lin Long is not a fool, at this time, she also felt Ye Zhong's kindness and care for her, and smiled on her face, in the end, people's hearts are still flesh and blood, not made of stone.

Two quarters of an hour later, the coachman hired by Lin Long came over and said that he was going to leave, otherwise he would not be able to go back before dawn.

Lin Long helped Ye Zhong to get up, "Mrs. Hou, bear with it again, she will be fine when she returns to the city." ”

Ye Zhongshi let out a light "um".

Lin Li didn't want to get up, Lin Long pulled her up, saw the thick tiredness on her face, and deliberately scared her, "It's okay if Cousin Li doesn't want to go, then you can stay here alone, we're leaving." ”

"Nope." Lin Li immediately jumped up, not daring to be squeamish anymore.

A group of people hit the road again in their original formation.

After the rest, the second half of the journey was much better, and I never stopped to rest in between.

When the sky was bright, the people who had walked all night on the mountain road saw that victory was in sight, and a smile appeared on their tired faces, and their steps were much lighter.

The coachman hired by Lin Long is a familiar old horse, and the distance he takes is also very close, otherwise they are afraid that they will only be able to finish it at noon if they take more detours.

When he was about to walk out of the mountains and forests to the avenue, only a mile away from the city gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone was like frightened birds, Lin Long reacted very quickly and pulled Ye Zhong's to hide, and the people behind him hurriedly found a place to hide.

The horses' hooves stopped not far from them, and the sound of conversation reached their ears.

"It stands to reason that there is no one in the carriage, they must have walked the mountain road, but there are no people in sight now, which is unreasonable......"

"Don't worry, send someone to take a look around and get in touch with the head?"

"Not yet, I don't know if something happened to them, and they haven't sent anyone to contact us now......"

“……”

Lin Long listened to their conversation, and immediately understood that this should be another team of people chasing the carriage separately, and it was estimated that they were still chasing the one they rented, after all, compared to the Ye family's carriage, it was too simple, and it also made them guess that their group of people was very likely to have taken the mountain road, so they came here to wait.

The only way to do this is to hold it down.

When Ye Zhongshi heard the conversation, he knew that it was the group of people chasing him, his palms were sweating, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little rapid, and he was about to get out of danger, but he still encountered such a thing at the city gate.

Her lowered head touched the tall weeds, and her nose was itchy, and she couldn't help but sneeze, "A-"

Suddenly, she raised her head in embarrassment, just in time to meet Lin Long's gaze, she didn't mean to, but what's the use of saying this now? "I ......" opened his mouth to explain.

On the other side, Brocade, Lin Li, and the two coachmen all looked at Ye Zhongshi in surprise, this sound would definitely attract that group of people.

"Who?" Sure enough, someone followed the sound and came over, and the big knife slashed at the weeds. "Come out!"

Ye Zhongshi really didn't dare to breathe this time, this time it was herself who was in trouble, she couldn't push it to others, gritted her teeth, and was about to stand up by herself.

Lin Long pressed her shoulder, and his eyes signaled her not to act rashly.

When the big knife was about to reach the weeds in her hiding place, she stood up suddenly, and looked at the big man in front of her with a timid look, "This strong man...... The little woman ...... "seemed so frightened that she couldn't speak."

"Come out!"

Hearing this, she walked out slowly, deliberately limping, "Don't scare the little girl, I'm ...... I'm afraid ......"

"You're alone?" The strong man sitting on the horse asked, "What are you doing in the mountains early in the morning?" ”

Lin Long shrank his shoulders as if he was afraid, and grabbed his clothes with both hands as if he had no master, "My grandmother is sick, and the doctor said that she would use it...... The dew in the morning can be used in the medicine to exert its effect quickly......"

I saw a little girl here early in the morning, and the strong man sitting on the horse couldn't help frowning, looking at her empty-handed, and questioning: "What about the water?" ”

"Knocked over the ......" Lin Long looked at a loss, "stepping on the snake and panicking...... The results are gone......"

Seeing that Lin Long didn't look like he was lying, the strong man on the horse still frowned.

After running back and forth day and night, he couldn't help but be upset and irritable, and now he couldn't contact his own people, and the question he asked again brought a little oppression, "Did you see a woman in a gorgeous dress in the mountains?" ”

"I didn't ...... Yes...... Yes...... I saw ......"

"Did you not see it or did you see it?"

Lin Long looked at the sharp silver light of the big knife near the end of her nose, and said that it was a lie not to be afraid and afraid, no matter how bold she was, she had never experienced such a battle in the end, and her palms were full of sweat while rolling up the skirt under her, she swallowed her saliva and said, "See." ”

"Where's she?"

"Over there, I saw her being led down a fork in the road, was she wearing a gray dress?" Lin Long asked rhetorically.

A group of big men glanced at each other, Ye Zhong did wear a gray skirt when he arrived at Hanshan Temple yesterday, and there was joy in his eyes.

"Let's go, take us there."

When Lin Long heard this order, he didn't dare to resist, and led the people to the opposite direction of the city gate.

Ye Zhongshi watched Lin Long take away the group of people, and she wanted to call her, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn't make a sound.

"Madam, let's hurry into the city to find someone to support and save Miss Lin." Tapestry Road.

Ye Zhong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go back to the city......"

Watching a group of strong men leave with smoke and dust billowing away, Ye Zhong and the others who were hiding in the shadows also quietly moved their bodies, and Lin Long led away the pursuers, leaving them with a broad avenue.

Ye Zhongshi didn't dare to slack off, she was afraid that in case, what did Lin Long really miss? First, she couldn't explain to her son, and second, she was sorry for her own conscience, if it weren't for her, Lin Long wouldn't have put her life in danger.

Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, who didn't show her fragility along the way, is now slightly red, and she has also made a decision in her heart, no matter what, her daughter-in-law can only be Lin Long, if Lin Long is really unlucky, she will not choose another daughter of the Lin family, and would rather let her son marry Lin Long's tablet.

Lin Long didn't know what Ye Zhong's heart had decided, and was pointed at with a big knife to lead the way, not caring about a wry smile, thinking about how to get out. It is not a bullshit truth that understands righteousness, but because Ye Zhongshi is Ye Xuyao's mother, if she doesn't come out of this, the relationship she established with Ye Zhong's before will be ruined, even if she escapes afterwards, Ye Zhong's will also complain about her, no one will remember if a person does a thousand good things, but as long as he does a bad thing, he will definitely be impressive, and the good side will be completely denied.

At this time, she did not dare to look back, so she could only take a mechanical step, and suddenly, there was another sound of horses' hooves.

Lin Long hurriedly followed the voice and looked, why was the leader so familiar?

Ye Zhong and the others, who were very close to the city gate, naturally heard the sound, and they all looked at the person who galloped over.

Brocade said excitedly: "Madam, it's the uncle, the uncle has come to us......"

This voice, the big man who had not gone far with Lin Long naturally heard it, and quickly turned around, and sure enough, he found that there were several people who were about to sneak into the city not far behind him, and one of them was dressed a little wolf, but he was wearing a gray skirt, and he was a middle-aged woman, isn't this Mrs. Xiangyang Hou?

They were so close to the city gate, and the people in the city also came out to pick up Ye Zhong and the others, and there was no chance for them to make a move.

Suddenly knowing that they had been tricked, they turned around and glared at Lin Long angrily, it turned out that she had been lying.

Lin Long had already seen Ye Xuyao running over, and when the excited voice of the brocade faintly came into her ears, she knew that there was more luck and less luck, and sure enough, the big man behind her, who had been holding a knife, was about to reach out and grab her as a hostage.

She cleverly avoided it, gritting her teeth and rushing towards Ye Xuyao, hoping to meet him first.

"Ye Gongzi-"

Ye Xuyao naturally saw the girl who was rushing towards him, and before he could see who it was, he heard her voice in his ears first, and the word Lin Long immediately came into his ears.

Immediately, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't think about why Lin Long appeared on this occasion? He kicked the horse in the belly, trying to get her on the horse as fast as he could.

The big man who was played by Lin Long also knew that he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape today, there were chasing soldiers in front and back, and he clenched the big knife in his hand, and he had to pull a cushion back if he died, Lin Long was the best candidate.

It's all this stinky girl who misled herself, otherwise he would have caught Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, and with her in hand, it would be much easier to escape.

Ye Zhongshi looked at the running figure, his nervous heart was about to jump out, his hand tightly grasped his clothes, and silently prayed that his son's movements would be faster.

Lin Long, who was at a disadvantage, didn't dare to look back, and the steps under her feet were even faster, just when her hand was about to touch Ye Xuyao's hand, the big knife in the hand of the strong man who chased after her had already swung down-

Su Youwu was on the move all night, not to mention the news of Ye Zhong's family, even the people he sent couldn't be contacted, and the news of the cancellation of the mission couldn't reach the people who carried out the order, saying that he was not anxious, it was all a lie.

Governor Zheng was beside him, so he didn't dare to give orders lightly, so he could only carry out the search work dryly, and looking at the corpses in that place at this moment, he suddenly had a headache.

Gao Zhi also took the opportunity to join the search crowd, no matter what, something really happened to Ye Zhong's family, and the Gao family couldn't stay out of it, the first person to be implicated would be his sister as a concubine, and it was also necessary to act like a presumptuous person at this time.

Governor Zheng has such a thing in his own jurisdiction, and it is natural that he will be busy all night.

Several parties and horses are thinking about each other, at this time in Ye Xuyao's place, it is no longer important, when his hand wrapped Lin Long's body, the blood flowing from her back stained his big palm, and in anger, his hand holding the sword was fiercely waved, and the strong man who cut Lin Long didn't have time to react, his eyes were rounded, his head was suddenly separated, and a big head rolled to the ground, trampled by the roaring horse.

"Ye Gongzi ......" Lin Long, who was held in Ye Xuyao's arms, grabbed his clothes and said a little puzzled: "What's the ...... of my back?" It's so painful...... "She finished thinking about it, this time the hero really didn't end well, didn't he really get hit?"

She reached out and wanted to touch it, but Ye Xuyao grabbed her hand very quickly, and tried to say calmly: "It's okay, it's going to be fine...... and she took the opportunity to tap the acupoint on her back to stop the blood from flowing again.

Lin Long lowered his head and wanted to look at his big palm, but his hand didn't reach out to her, but the pain was getting worse and worse, and she couldn't ignore it, so she smiled bitterly, "Don't you ...... Lie to me...... I'll ...... next time Jaya...... Improper Hero ......"

"Bear with me." Ye Xuyao didn't care about catching these people, he just kicked the horse's belly and broke through the crowd and went to the city, Lin Long was more important at this time, she needed to be healed.

The guards behind didn't need to be ordered by the master, and they had already taken the initiative to attack to open the way for the master.

Lin Long's lips gradually turned white, and her hand holding Ye Xuyao's white clothes gradually weakened, and finally passed out in his arms.

Ye Zhongshi saw his son hugging Lin Long, who was injured and fainted, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Quick, send her back to the house first, and I'll send someone to ask for a doctor-"

Ye Xuyao nodded at his mother, did not stop to say a word, but rushed back to the house, afraid that it would be too late, and Lin Long would die.

Ye Zhongshi immediately arranged for someone to ask for a doctor, and hurriedly got into the carriage prepared by Fu Nian, urging the coachman to hurry up, extremely worried about Lin Long's injury, looking at the blood-soaked clothes, her heart beat wildly.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry so much, Miss Lin has her own natural appearance." Fu Nian comforted.

Ye Zhongshi nodded, thinking of the abbot's words that Master Abbot said that Lin Long was blessed and his children and grandchildren were full of court, her heart was a lot more settled, and she quickly recited the Buddha's name again.

Lin Li, who was also following the carriage on the side, thought of Lin Long's fainting scene when she stopped her heartbeat, if it weren't for Lin Long's presence, her reputation would have been damaged, and she thought of Lin Long's goodness, so she angrily said to the brocade: "Did you mean it?" ”

Brocade didn't dare to say a word for a long time, she was also afraid of setting herself on fire, and now she heard Lin Li's questioning, "No, I didn't mean to, I just thought that the uncle was coming, and we were all saved, so I would shout out......"

Afraid that Ye Zhong would blame herself, she hurriedly knelt at Ye Zhong's feet, "Madam, you have to believe in the slave maid, Miss Lin is the future grandmother, give the sky a guts, and the slave and maid will not dare to deliberately assassinate Miss Lin...... Woo woo...... "I couldn't help crying.

Ye Zhongshi didn't say a word, but the gaze that looked at the brocade was extremely unkind, sure enough, Lu Yao knew the horsepower, and he saw the hearts of the people for a long time, and he had been in the inner house, and the brocade was good, but after a dangerous situation, the shortcomings were revealed.

Lin Li was not a reasonable and forgiving character, but when he saw the brocade crying, he spoke out even more fiercely, "Don't fake crying and sympathizing here, this is obviously what you are doing, if my cousin has a good one, my Lin family will definitely not let you go, Mrs. Hou, you have to uphold justice." She also knelt down, making it clear that she would not let the brocade shirk her responsibility.

Fu Nian looked at the two years of fighting, just frowned slightly, and wisely chose not to say a word, one is the maid of the Ye Zhong family's inner house, and the other is the future in-law of the Ye family, no matter what, there is no room for him to intervene.

Ye Zhong glanced at Lin Li, who asked her to deal with it, "Mrs. Ben will deal with it fairly and give Lin Long an explanation." ”

Lin Li knew that Ye Zhong's family didn't look down on the Lin family, to be precise, she didn't look down on her father, so she said that she would give Lin Long an explanation, not an explanation to the Lin family, but she didn't care about it, since the marriage with the Ye family was not successful, she no longer deliberately practiced herself, "The little woman's words were wrong, which made Mrs. Hou laugh, please Mrs. remember her promise." ”

Ye Zhong nodded solemnly rarely.

Brocade suddenly felt as if the sky was about to fall, and sat limply on the ground, staring blankly ahead.

At this time, Lin Gang's house was also in chaos, and Aunt Green, Lin Qi, and Lin Dong were all unrelenting.

Aunt Green said angrily to Lin Gang: "It's all over the night, what about Sister Long?" Where is she? Yesterday, I said that I was going to do something to the old lady who passed away, and I said that I met a horse thief, I said that I was going to report to the official, you don't let you live or die, where is our sister Long now? Unstoppable tears flowed down her face, and her heart hung all night, wanting to find it herself, but was stopped by someone, and now she was angry.

Seeing her crying, Lin Baishi couldn't help crying, "My sister Li, why are you so miserable?" Master, the night has passed, let's hurry up and report to the official and let the yamen find it...... "She is in favor of Aunt Green at this time."

Lin Gang smoked with a black face, he didn't care if Lin Long was alive or dead, but Lin Li was his own daughter, how could he say that he didn't care if he didn't care? glanced at the third brother Lin Chuang, and he was the one who advocated not reporting.

Lin Chuang felt the second brother's complaining gaze, as a scholar, he has always been fair-skinned, "Second brother, I really can't report to the official, our ancestors of the Lin family have always been innocent, if there is news that a girl has been kidnapped by horse thieves, how will the girls marry in the future?" This is to disgrace our ancestors, how can we raise our heads and be human beings when we go out? Your squire is inappropriate? Or is my face not important? ”

As soon as the actual interests were mentioned, Lin Gang was stunned, and immediately took a big puff of smoke.

"You're putting bullshit, return my sister Li'er to ......" Lin Bai suddenly pounced on Lin Chuang, shaking him madly.

Aunt Green was not to be outdone, regardless of the difference in identity, she stepped forward and slapped him fiercely, "Return our sister Long's ......"

Lin Yu hurriedly stepped forward to save her husband, "If you want to make trouble, go to the horse thief, what is the matter with our master, if you want to blame it, blame your own cheap life-"

The women's scolding was particularly loud in the hall.

Lin Qi looked at this qiē indignantly, and got up to go out unbearably.

"Where?" Lin Gang shouted.

"Report to the officer." Lin Qi replied angrily.

"Come back." Lin Gang drank again.

Lin Qi didn't listen, and someone blocked her way just after taking two steps, and it was Lin Gang's subordinate in the house.

Lin Dong got up and looked at the two uncles, "I can't wait any longer, it's all a night, and if we don't report to the official, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to get it back." What kind of face do you care about now......"

"Shut up for me, when will it be your turn to talk more?" Lin Chuang shouted at his nephew.

"If you're not doing it right, I'll be able to say it." Lin Dong argued with reason.

The family quarreled again.

Lin Lin, who saw this scene in the pane outside the house, smiled coldly, his father naturally would not agree to report to the official, as long as he did not report to the official, no one would find out about this matter, and this fire could not burn his body.

She said to Lin Qiong: "Has the news spread out?" ”

"It's all gone." Lin Qiong said.

"Okay, let's hold their arms and let them continue to fight."

Lin Lin still wants to watch a good show for a while, as long as the dust settles, in two days, Lin Long and Lin Li will come back, no one will mention the matter of reporting to the official again, as long as she instigates her father to soak Lin Long and Lin Li in the pig cage to wash the stain, in this way, who else can fight with her?

At this time, Ye Xuyao rushed back to the courtyard where he lived, ignoring Lin Long's wolf bèi and dirty, he carefully put it on the bed, and shouted loudly for someone to bring medicine and hot water.
