Chapter 543: Panic
Lan Ling'er turned around and walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the pen on the side and hesitated to write something on the paper. Although I really wanted to leave, I thought that Murong Xuanji would be very worried if she couldn't see her, even if she wanted to leave, she should tell her, so as not to make her worry.
Thinking of this, Lan Ling'er immediately wrote a few words on the paper, and then got up and walked back to the table to blow out the candles and slowly walked out of the room.
Looking at the scenery outside, Lan Ling'er felt very uncomfortable, thinking of Leng Fengran, Lan Ling'er had a trace of hesitation in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
It was already late at night, except for the bright moon in the sky, there was silence in the courtyard, and Lan Ling'er walked out of the courtyard by the moonlight in the sky. Originally, Lan Ling'er wanted to go to the stables to ride horses, but she saw someone watching in the stables from a distance, and she was worried that she would make noise to others, so Lan Linger gave up riding.
The next morning, Murong Xuanji got up as soon as she was up, because she was worried about Lan Ling'er, she hadn't slept well all night, and she was always worried about Lan Ling'er in her heart.
"Baoqing, you accompany me to see Ling'er." Seeing Baoqing coming in with breakfast, Murong Xuanji didn't even see the breakfast, and hurriedly asked Baoqing to accompany him to find Lan Ling'er.
"Yes!" Seeing Murong Xuanji's panicked appearance, Baoqing immediately put breakfast on the table, and immediately followed her hurriedly towards the courtyard where Lan Ling'er lived.
Murong Xuanji saw that Lan Ling'er's room was still closed, thinking that she was inside, so she said at the door: "Ling'er, it's me, Xuanji, can you open the door and let me in first?" ”
Murong Xuanji waited at the door for a long time and didn't see Lan Ling'er open the door for him, and there was no sound at all inside, Murong Xuanji immediately felt that something was wrong, and pushed the door hard, but he didn't expect the door to be pushed open immediately.
Murong Xuanji and Baoqing glanced at each other in surprise, the two immediately walked in, and found that there was no one in the room, Murong Xuanji immediately ran into the inner room, and found that there was no one on the bed, and the quilt was neatly folded as if no one had ever slept.
"Miss, come over quickly." Murong Xuanji suddenly heard Baoqing shouting to herself, so she immediately ran out of the inner room, and when she saw Baoqing holding a piece of paper in her hand, she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.
"What's that?" Murong Xuanji walked to the desk step by step and took the letter paper handed over by Baoqing.
"Miss Lan is gone." Although Murong Xuanji had already seen the contents of the letter, Baoqing still replied very seriously.
"Xuanji, I suddenly felt homesick, so I'll go back to the capital first, thank you and the Nine Emperor Princes for your hospitality during this time, and we'll meet again when you return to the capital. Precious, Ling'er stays. Murong Xuanji read the contents of the letter, and when she saw Lan Ling'er returning to the capital alone, she was worried, and immediately ran out of the courtyard with the letter, but met Leng Fengran in the garden.
"Xuanji, what happened to you in such a hurry?" Leng Fengran saw Murong Xuanji's panicked appearance and asked worriedly.
"Ling'er is gone, she is gone." Murong Xuanji looked at Leng Fengran with some resentment, angrily threw the letter left by Lan Ling'er to Leng Fengran, and said complainingly: "She doesn't even know martial arts as a girl, what if she encounters any danger on the road?" ”
Leng Fengran quickly glanced at the content of the letter, and couldn't help frowning, but quickly stretched out and pretended to be calm and said: "Since she is homesick and wants to go back first, this is her freedom." ”
Hearing that Leng Fengran was still talking about the cold words, Murong Xuanji glared at her fiercely angrily, "Do you really think that she left because she was homesick?" Don't you really know that she left because she was heartbroken by you? How can you be so cold-blooded, I just asked people about the stable, she didn't ride away, this is not close to the capital, a girl who doesn't know martial arts wants to walk back to the capital like this, do you know how long it takes? If something happens on the way, will your conscience be at ease? ”
Murong Xuanji was silent when he saw Leng Fengran, thinking that he was so cold-blooded that he didn't care about Lan Ling'er's safety at all, so he angrily ran to Xuanyuan Hao to find a way.
When Murong Xuanji left and Leng Fengran was left alone in the garden, he let the worry in his heart be revealed, in fact, there was no need for Murong Xuanji to say just now, when he thought of Lan Ling'er returning to the capital alone, he was worried if something happened on the way, so he hurriedly returned to his room and called his subordinates.
"You take some people to find Miss Lan, she left last night, but she didn't ride a horse, a girl can't walk too far, you ride a horse to find what you should be able to find, and bring her back after finding someone." Leng Fengran explained to his subordinates with a serious face, thought for a while and said: "If she refuses to come back with you and insists on returning to the capital, then you will protect her along the way and send her back to her home in the capital safely." ”
The subordinates were a little surprised to see Leng Fengran so nervous, but they didn't dare to ask more, just nodded before turning to leave.
When his men left, Leng Fengran stood up from the chair, and kept walking back and forth in the room because he was worried about Lan Ling'er, walking to the door from time to time to look, wanting to see if there was any news from Lan Ling'er, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no news at all.
Since she knew that Lan Ling'er had left alone, Murong Xuanji had left worriedly and sent someone to look for her, and at this time she was also fidgeting and walking around the study, secretly praying in her heart that Lan Ling'er would not have an accident.
"It's going to be fine." Xuanyuan Hao saw Murong Xuanji looking so nervous and worried, and walked over and pulled her aside to let her sit down and settle down, "Don't worry, Miss Lan didn't leave on horseback, if she just walked on foot, she wouldn't go too far at her speed, and the people we sent out would definitely find her." ”
"Why is she so stupid? Even if she wants to leave, she doesn't want to face Leng Fengran, she can tell me, I can send someone to send her back, why should she leave quietly by herself? Murong Xuanji said angrily and worriedly: "Even if you want to leave, don't choose the night, it's so dark at night, and there are many mountain roads here, what if you encounter any beasts or bandits?" ”
"No, she'll be fine." Seeing that Murong Xuanji was getting more and more excited, Xuanyuan Hao had no choice but to hug her and comfort her, and a trace of worry couldn't help but rise in his heart.
From morning to noon, neither the people sent out by Murong Xuanji's side nor the people sent out by Leng Fengran's side found Lan Ling'er, which made everyone start to get nervous.
"How come there isn't anyone found?" Leng Fengran angrily asked his subordinates, "Have you seriously searched for her, how far can she go as a girl, and you haven't found it on horseback?" Keep looking for me. ”
After his subordinates left, Leng Fengran slammed the table out of worry, and his mood gradually became anxious.
Lan Ling'er walked all night, and her footsteps gradually became heavy. Lan Ling'er saw a big tree in front of her, and there happened to be a big stone next to the big tree, so she walked to the tree with heavy steps to rest, wiped the sweat oozing from her forehead, and her mouth was very thirsty, but after walking for so long, she didn't even have a person, and she didn't want to beg for water.
Lan Ling'er rubbed her calf that was a little sore, looked up at the scorching sun, and the road back to the capital felt a long way, and she felt slightly annoyed in her heart, even if she wanted to leave and wanted to avoid Leng Fengran, she should ride away, otherwise she didn't know when she would be able to return to the capital at her speed.
"Big brother, look, there's a girl over there, and she's not bad." Suddenly, two obscene-looking people hid in the grass and looked at Lan Ling'er, and Lan Ling'er, who was still resting under the tree at this time, didn't notice that the danger had slowly approached him.
"It's not bad!" The man known as the eldest brother nodded, and suddenly felt that Lan Ling'er was a little familiar, and grabbed another short man who was about to run out, "I seem to have seen that woman somewhere." ”
"Big brother, women all look the same, and they all look like they've seen each other." The short man looked at Lan Ling'er with squinting eyes, and replied a little absent-mindedly. said that he couldn't wait to go out and catch Lan Ling'er.
"Wait a minute." The tall man grabbed the short man again to stop him, thought carefully for a moment and said, "I remember, I saw this woman in that courtyard before. ”
"What annex?" The short man blurted out and asked, seeing the tall man looking at Lan Ling'er with a serious face, he suddenly thought of something in his mind and asked in surprise: "Big brother, you can't be talking about the other courtyard where we sent the food before, right?" ”
The tall man nodded, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he said with some ill will: "The owner of that villa is very mysterious, no one has lived in it before, but there are many people living in it during this time, and the money given to us every time is very generous." ”
"That's right, that's right." The short man nodded in agreement, and the same thought came to his mind as the tall man, and he looked at the tall man and smiled very mysteriously, "If that woman is really the one who came out of that courtyard, then we will send it." ”
The tall man nodded at the short man and whispered, "Let's catch the woman first, and then send a letter to the people in the courtyard, and after we get the ransom, we will decide what to do with the woman." ”
"Good idea." The short man nodded vigorously, looking at Lan Ling'er very excitedly, although the tall man said so, but he knew that once he got the ransom, they would not let Lan Ling'er go, whether it was money or people, they wanted it.
Lan Ling'er rested for a while, looked at the sky, and found that it was not early.
