Chapter 314: Lend Me Hostage
Hao Lianbei'er's toes shrank back, her eyes were slightly bent, a cute smile appeared on her face, but her fingers kept pressing on her waist - there was her weapon.
"Well, I'm really sorry," Hao Lianbeier decided to play an idiot, and said with a grin, "I was in too much of a hurry, and I got into the wrong carriage." ”
She said that, she didn't see any reaction from the man, she slowly lifted her skirt and glanced at it from the corner of her eye, but the man still didn't react, his eyes were still shining, and the black dagger between his fingers was still jumping, and the rhythm was the same as before.
So easy to talk to? Hao Lianbei'er's eyes turned, and the soles of her feet slipped and she wanted to slip.
"Princess, please stay." The man suddenly spoke, his voice was hoarse, but it was cold, like a harsh winter wind, blowing silently, and Hao Lianbei'er had goosebumps on the back of her neck.
Does he know who he is?
Hao Lianbei'er's heart sank, if he knew who he was, then the matter would not be so simple, and it was no coincidence that the carriage appeared here, could it be that he was waiting for him here?
Hao Lianbei'er put away the smile on her face, since this is the case, there is no need to pretend to be stupid, she turned back, her eyes widened, and she glared angrily, "Who are you?" ”
"The princess doesn't have to know who is down there," the man's voice was slightly smiling, the slender fingers stopped moving, and the tip of the dagger was just aimed at Hao Lianbei'er, as if the finger could be stabbed into Hao Lianbei'er's lower abdomen like a dart with a slight flick of the finger.
Hao Lianbei'er's back straightened, her lips were tightly pursed, and sticky sweat broke out in her clasped palms.
"There is no malice in looking for the princess in the next place, just to ask the princess to help in the next favor, for the princess, it is just a gesture." The man said softly, like the falling snow in winter, gently swinging down.
"What's the busy?" Hao Lianbeier felt that this person was particularly dangerous, and she didn't believe that things could be as simple as he said.
"Lend me a hostage." The man said it lightly, as if it were saying that the weather was good.
"......" Hao Lianbeier grinded her teeth with hatred, and her cheeks bulged into buns, "What do you want to do?" ”
"The princess doesn't need to know." After the man finished speaking, his body seemed to lean forward and slide, floating lightly like a cloud, and sat down steadily beside Hao Lianbei'er.
"You ......" Hao Lianbei'er's eyes widened and looked at him carefully, but she found that she still couldn't see anything except the eyes that were still as black as a deep pool.
"Hmm, princess," the man's fingertips flicked slightly, and a small stone bead hit Hao Lianbei'er's elbow accurately, Hao Lianbei'er suddenly felt that her arm was numb and sore, almost without any force, and her fingers slipped weakly from her waist, "Don't want to move, although there is no malice in the bottom, it is not good to hurt the princess by mistake." ”
Hao Lianbei'er snorted with luck, and was convinced in his heart that this person really had no malicious intent, otherwise, just by relying on the rotation of his body just now, and the accurate acupoint technique, it would be enough to easily kill himself, but he didn't, it seems that it was really as he said.
But who exactly does he want to threaten with himself?
Hao Lianbei'er clapped her hands, since she can't beat others, she doesn't have to pretend to get any weapons anymore, I'm afraid it'll be over before she takes it out, "Who are you holding me hostage, who are you using to threaten me?" Actually, I'm not as important as you think. ”
The man seemed to smile lightly, "Well, whether the princess is important or not, we will see when the time comes." ”
Hao Lianbei'er heard that he was not fooled, so he couldn't speak, and he was angry on the side, and just wanted to say something, but he saw the man knock on the carriage, and the car moved, and walked forward with bonelessness.
"Hey! Feed! Hao Lianbeier shouted anxiously, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
"Hijacking, naturally you have to listen to it, otherwise, it won't be called hijacking, but a princess traveling." The speed of the car was still not slowing, and the man leaned on the carriage and said lazily.
Hao Lianbei'er was so angry that she wanted to scream, but she didn't dare, and her anger pressed back into her stomach.
Leng Fifteen drove the carriage towards the agreed place, but there was no figure in the distance, and he wondered in his heart, driving a little faster.
When she arrived at the place, Rong Xi raised the curtain of the car, the roadside was empty, there was no figure, she was slightly surprised in her heart, huh? What's going on? This girl hasn't arrived yet?
Just thinking about it, Leng Yixiu and Hao Lian Zize's carriage also arrived, Leng Yixiu jumped out of the carriage and came to Rong Xi's approach, "What's wrong?" ”
Rong Xi's face was a little worried, "Bei'er hasn't arrived yet." ”
When Leng Yixiu heard this, he was also slightly uneasy in his heart, and then comforted Rong Xi and said, "Don't worry, isn't the sixteenth also not here?" With sixteen with her, it should be fine. ”
Hao Lian Zize had already gotten off the carriage, he lowered his head and saw the wheel marks left by the previous carriage, but when he saw the marks left by the wheels, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, Leng Sixteen came quickly, and when he saw everyone standing under the carriage, he was shocked, turned his head to look, and before he could ask a question, Leng Yixiu asked first: "Sixteen, where is Princess Hao Lian?" ”
Leng Sixteen's heart jumped, "The subordinates watched Princess Hao Lian enter the dark passage, and then left quickly and came straight here, what?" Didn't the princess arrive? ”
"It seems that something has gone wrong," Leng Yixiu's face was slightly gloomy, there must be a reason for it, and this matter can be big or small, if Hao Lianbei'er is in danger......
"My subordinates will go back and check it out immediately!" After Leng Sixteen finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left.
"No need," Hao Lian Zize, who had been silent, said, "She's already here." ”
When they heard this, they all turned their heads to look at him, not understanding what he meant by this.
Rong Xi's gaze slid over the wheel marks at Hao Lian Zize's feet, his face changed slightly, and he said, "You mean ......?"
"That's right," Hao Lian Zize knew that Rong Xi had guessed what he meant, nodded and said, "She should have been held hostage." ”
Everyone's faces changed, Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen first thought of King Qi, or someone related to the Moon Worship Tower this time, and Rong Xi and Leng Yixiu understood in their hearts that this matter was probably not so simple, otherwise, Hao Lian Zize would not have said it so surely.
He could obviously see it from the wheel marks on the ground, but how could it be seen from the wheel marks that Hao Lianbeier was being held hostage?
There must be something strange about it.
"This mark," Sure enough, Hao Lian Zize pointed to the wheel mark on the ground and said, "If you look closely, it is obviously different from the other surrounding ones, deep and wide. ”
Everyone hurriedly looked down and compared it carefully, and sure enough, "So what?" Leng Fifteen didn't understand why he didn't hurry up and chase it, but discussed the pattern of the wheel mark here.
A hint of gloom appeared in Hao Lian Zize's eyes, "This kind of wheel mark, as far as I know, is owned by the county family of Mingxiao, the county family is the largest merchant of Mingxiao, and the business is all over the country, if the county family holds half of the economic lifeline of Mingxiao, it is not an exaggeration, and this kind of wheel is specially built by the county family for business everywhere, because the business is wide, you need to walk a long way, all kinds of road conditions are different, and the loss of the carriage is great, so ......"
"Half of the economic lifeline," Rong Xi muttered in a low voice, but the words were clear, "You also dare?" ”
Hao Lian Zize looked up at her, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled dismally and said: "Of course I don't want to be the imperial court, but the county family is a century-old family, and it is the inheritance of several generations, how can it be said that it can be moved?" Moreover, it has become such a situation now, and it is even more difficult to move it. ”
"However, the family that can make the business so big should understand that no matter how big the business is, it can't be an enemy of the imperial court, otherwise it will only be a dead end in the end, what about Shen Wansan? Why did the people from this county go here and kidnap Bei'er? ”
Leng Yixiu and Hao Lian Zize's eyebrows jumped together, they didn't expect that Rong Xi actually seemed to have some understanding of business matters, but it was just ...... Who is Shen Wansan?
Now he didn't have time to think about it, Hao Lian Zize shook his head and said: "Although the county family is powerful, it has never had any conflict with the imperial court, you are right, those who can do this job are naturally smart people, this time ......"
Looking at his blank face, Rong Xi also understood that Hao Lian Zize didn't know the reason at all, so since this was the case, he could only chase down the wheel.
A group of people got back into the car, but there was no laughter and joy just now, everyone's hearts were heavy, I don't know where Hao Lianbeier was held hostage, aside from her precious status, she is always a girl, especially in ancient times when the folk customs were conservative.
Rong Xi rubbed her temples, she closed her eyes slightly, thinking quietly, what will she encounter if she chases after her like this? Will this wheel be able to save Belle?
If the other party knew that his wheels were special, since he knew Hao Lianbei'er's identity, wouldn't he know that Hao Lian Zize was also here? Can you still leave these marks for people to chase?
This doesn't quite fit the common sense of doing things.
"Stop!" Rong Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Leng Yixiu immediately asked, "But it's uncomfortable?" ”
"No, I'm fine," Rong Xi waved his hand, "It's not a way for us to chase down like this, let Fifteen and Sixteen and Hao Lianzhao and others chase after us, and let's go back to the city." ”
Rong Xi glanced at Hao Lian Zize and said: "Since it was the people of the county family who kidnapped Bei'er, then, they must have asked for something, otherwise they would not wait until you came to Dazhao to chase after her, so I conclude that Bei'er is not in danger for a while, and since they know Bei'er's identity, then the person sent must not be an ordinary person." ”
