Chapter 105: Jade Pendant
Early the next morning, Du Jia set off with Mo Xue, because Mo Xue had a big belly and couldn't ride a horse, so the two took a carriage instead.
The coachman was Ah Liu, and the rest of the guards were disguised as ordinary people and merchants, and followed the carriage not far away.
Because she was infected by Mo Xue's maternal love, before leaving, Du Jia gave Xiao Yun a big bear hug and whispered a word in her ear: "Mom, I love you!" Take care of yourself when I'm not around. ”
I thought that Xiao Yun would be moved, but I didn't want Xiao Yun to push Du Jia away, twisted his eyebrows and looked at her, and said, "Ugly girl, what bad things have you done again?" Be honest! Don't think that if you say good things, the old lady won't care about you! ”
Du Jia's hard-earned gratitude was instantly broken, she pursed her lips, didn't bother to pay attention to this incomprehensible woman, jumped into the carriage and got in.
The carriage drove forward, and Xiao Yun's slightly trembling warning came from the wind: "Se'er, give the old lady a safe return, if you dare not protect yourself, the old lady will definitely beat you to the ground......"
Along the way, Du Jia took care of Mo Xue wholeheartedly, and saw that Mo Xue's legs and feet were swollen because of the long time in the carriage, Du Jia often helped Mo Xue massage it.
Mo Xue also had a great impression of this careful and considerate Du Jia, and treated her as a good sister, and even said some private words buried in her heart without scruples.
Including when Mo Xue had her first menstrual period, she was so frightened that Junda burst into tears, thinking that her sister had an incurable disease, and insisted on holding her to see the doctor.
also said that when Junda found out that Mo Xue was pregnant, he was so crazy that he vomited blood...... From these descriptions, Du Jia got a general understanding of this man with a serious sister complex.
Thinking back to Junda, Du Jia really didn't have any impression, but remembered how he looked when he pretended to be an honest old man and stole it, and his true face was already very vague.
Of course, Du Jia also asked Mo Xue about her opinion of Onikasa, but as soon as Mo Xue heard Onikasa's name, she bit her lip tightly and kept silent, looking gloomy, so that Du Jia didn't dare to ask.
After more than ten days of hurrying, Du Jia and Mo Xue finally arrived at the town that had been agreed in advance-Mud Trap Town. As they were about to enter the town, everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise.
At this moment, more than a dozen carriages suddenly rushed out of the woods on both sides of the official road, and these carriages were almost exactly the same as those of Du Jia and the others, blocking the sight of the secret guards who followed behind.
Ah Liu, who was driving the carriage, looked around vigilantly, trying to keep the carriage as steady as possible, and dodging the hidden arrows that came from time to time.
Suddenly, a long arrow glowing with cold light roared towards Ah Liu, who calmly waited for the arrow to approach before dodging. But when the arrow was less than five meters away from Ah Liu, another short arrow flew quickly and hit the long arrow in front of it.
By the time Ah Liu realized the danger, it was too late, and the body of the long arrow immediately opened, and a web as thin as spider silk rushed towards Ah Liu.
Entangled in a net, a man disguised as Ah Liu jumped from the carriage next to him, kicked Ah Liu off the carriage, and drove the cart towards the right side of the town, full of swampy wilderness.
If it weren't for Ah Liu's skill, after being kicked out of the carriage, he rolled to avoid the carriages that followed closely behind him, and would have died under the hooves of the horses.
When the carriage group was far away, the secret guard who followed behind hurriedly pulled up Ah Liu, cut the net, and continued to chase forward.
When the carriages reached the wilderness, they split up and ran in different directions. The same car, the same driver, although they knew that they wanted to distract their strength, but the guards had to pursue them alone.
More than a dozen carriages rushed forward like lightning, and the guards and attendants hurriedly pursued, and when they reached the edge of the swamp, the carriages fired countless short arrows, and by the time the guards who had dodged the rain of arrows arrived, the carriages had already fallen into the swamp.
Several servants who were not good at light work were also killed by these quagmires. Looking at the van that had disappeared, the guards hurried back to their original separation place to discuss what to do next.
The carriage was swallowed up by the swamp, leaving no clue, although they believed that there could never be Du Jia and Mo Xue in the carriage stuck in the mud, because there was no need to go to such great lengths to kill them, but trying to find them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The secret guards' guess was correct, but in fact, Du Jia and Mo Xue were dropped before they reached the wilderness. At the moment when the carriage got off the official road and drove towards the wilderness, the man driving the carriage took advantage of the cover of the carriage behind him and quickly drove the carriage to a small hill next to the official road.
The cave in the hill was covered with boulders and weeds with traps, and when the carriage ran in, the boulders and weeds re-blocked the entrance to the cave, making it difficult to find the entrance even if it was discovered.
Du Jia helped Mo Xue and cooperatively followed the man who was disguised as Ah Liu and walked forward along the tunnel. Crossing the winding road, they came to a dark room.
In the dark room sat an old man, in his fifties, with a shriveled figure and sparkling eyes.
"This jade pendant is yours?" The old man smiled and picked up a piece of jade pendant and asked Du Jia.
Du Jia shook his head: "This is not the master's, the master's jade pendant is much more beautiful than it!" ”
"Then which of these jade peries is yours?" The old man pointed to the dozen or so jade pendants on the table, obviously testing Du Jia.
Du Jia naturally wanted to satisfy the old man's wishes, picked up the jade pendant given to her by the senior brother, and played with it in his hand: "Old man, now you should believe it!" Hurry up and let Mo Xue and Junda go! ”
"Who gave you this jade pendant?" The old man was still smiling, "As long as you tell me, I'll let them both go." ”
"Old man, Ye is not a three-year-old child, do you guess Ye will be so stupid, believe your nonsense?" Du Jia looked at the old man funny, "If you don't let them go, you won't say anything!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Unexpectedly, the old man's temper was still very hot, and he reached out and swept away the jade pendant on the table. The jade pendant fell to the ground in response, and it was all reduced to pieces.
Du Jia protected Mo Xue behind him and looked coldly at the old man whose face was red from anger: "Old man, who are you scared of?" Are you telling you that you should 'rather be a broken jade than a complete tile'? ”
"You ......" There were two light coughs suddenly, the old man paused, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Someone!" Put them in prison first. ”
"Wait!" Du Jia stretched out her hand to support Mo Xue, "Guan Ye can, but Mo Xue is pregnant, so she can't afford to lose." Either let her go, or prepare a room for her, and serve her with good food and drink. Otherwise, don't try to pry a word out of your mouth! ”
"This ......" The old man had never seen such an arrogant prisoner, and he couldn't help but look at Du Jialai carefully.
"What? Can't make a decision on this little thing? Then hurry up and ask your master! Du Jia raised her chin and sneered, "Are you still afraid that you won't even be able to look at a pregnant woman?" What's the use of the master raising you dog slaves? ”
"Ahem!" Another cough, the old man's eyes flashed, and he commanded, "Come on!" Take the girl to the backyard wing. ”
Mo Xue grabbed Du Jia's hand tightly and was reluctant to leave, Du Jia gently comforted: "Don't worry about us, take care of yourself!" ”
"Girl, let's go with the old man!" When Mo Xue left the dark room, the old man also took Du Jia to Guan Junda's cell.
Putting Du Jia in a cell, the old man didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Du Jia glanced at Junda, who was sitting in the corner, closing his eyes and recuperating, and muttered in his heart: Want to listen to our conversation? It's not that easy!
