18. Chapter XVII
Although the two are only wearing plain brocade clothes and are not too decorated, one is like a crown of jade, and the other is carved in pink and jade, which will inevitably attract the attention of passers-by and people with bad intentions.
The two of them unconsciously walked to a small street with few people, and suddenly an old woman carrying a frame in front of her staggered twice and fell to the ground, and the vegetables in the bamboo basket were also spilled on the ground.
Zhou Chengzhi must strive to be a good person in this life, especially in front of Jiang Ling, to be a good person. Seeing this situation, he naturally pulled Jiang Ling forward and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" โ
The old woman who fell to the ground, her face was pale, and her lips opened for a moment: "My legs ...... The leg is gone. โ
Zhou Chengzhi asked again: "Then do you live far away?" Otherwise, we'll help you back. โ
The old woman nodded gratefully: "It's not far away, it's troublesome for the boy and the young lady." โ
Zhou Chengzhi put the spilled vegetables back into the frame and helped the old woman up. Jiang Ling looked at the whole process with emotion, and now he came back to his senses, and stepped forward to help him carry the frame: "Brother Chengzhi, I'll help you." โ
The three men crossed the side street and entered another remote alley, which was empty in tattered pieces. The old woman led the two to stop in front of an old door, and pushed open the creaking door: "Here it is, trouble the little boy." โ
Zhou Chengzhi helped the old woman into the door, and Jiang Ling helped carry the bamboo basket to follow up.
But just when Zhou Chengzhi let go of the old woman, put the bamboo basket by the wall, and pulled Jiang Ling to turn around and prepare to go out, the old woman just now stood at the door and closed the door.
Zhou Chengzhi was not a young man who was ignorant of the world after all, and immediately realized that something was wrong, pulled Jiang Ling by his side, and said coldly: "What are you doing!?" โ
The old woman turned slowly, a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth, and her face was still pale.
"Mrs. Zhang, these two are really good goods today, this dress must be the son of a noble family, you dare to do it?" Two men, one tall and one short, came out of the courtyard, and it was the short man who spoke.
The old woman smiled and said, "The young lady of the dignitary family is only the delicate skin and tender meat that is pleasing to people." When the time comes, the two of you will transport it to Jinling and sell it to Mama Qin, and let her pour the secret medicine, where do they remember who they are? โ
"You are so bold!" Zhou Chengzhi shouted coldly, "Do you know who I am?" Even I dare to kidnap me, do you think I'm impatient? โ
The old woman laughed: "It's not too old. It doesn't matter if you are the emperor Lao Tzu, after two days, I will send you to Jinling, don't say that I don't know who you are, and then even you will not know who you are. โ
Although Jiang Ling lived another life, he was either raised in the deep boudoir or lived in the deep palace in his previous life, where had he encountered these dangerous things of the three religions and nine streams, he couldn't help but pull the corners of Zhou Chengzhi's clothes with some fear, and said in a low voice: "Are they human traffickers?" โ
Zhou Chengzhijun frowned slightly and nodded. He is not afraid of these goods, but there is a little girl beside him who is powerless, and it doesn't matter if he is injured, but he can't hurt the little girl by half a penny.
While he was hesitating, the old woman suddenly stepped forward with an extra pipe in her hand. Before Zhou Chengzhi could react, a burst of green smoke drifted over, and his and Jiang Ling's bodies instantly softened, and they slowly fell to the ground.
The old woman smiled and said, "This kid is young but his kung fu is not small, if I hadn't been tempted by me when I helped me just now, I would have been prepared." Otherwise, we are the ones who suffer today. โ
The tall man laughed: "It's still Mrs. Zhang who thinks about it." โ
The old woman said, "I'll leave these two to you, and I'll transport them out of the city when it's dark." I looked at the young man's extraordinary appearance, but I am afraid that he is not the son of an ordinary family, he must be foolproof, in case he escapes, we will all die. โ
The tall man said: "This is certain, just to tell you, even if he is the seed of the Emperor Laozi, he will not remember anything after two days of storage." โ

Zhou Chengzhi opened his eyes, only to feel that his brain was ignorant, his body was shaking, and he couldn't see anything in the darkness in front of him. Half a sound only to realize that it was in the carriage, and he was bound in various ways, trying to break free, but because his whole body was soft and had no strength at all.
I don't think he had seen any dangerous scenes in his previous life, but today he was planted in the hands of a few traffickers, which can really be described as a dragon trapped in the shallows. It's not so easy to be a good person. If he had met the old woman in the past, he would have walked over without squinting, and perhaps he would have been suspicious of someone standing in the way. This time he was so kind, he didn't want to put himself in it.
No wonder good people are hard to find in this world.
Although he couldn't see it, the soft touch beside him was still very clear, and Jiang Ling was lying next to him, but he was obviously drugged and hadn't woken up yet.
Zhou Chengzhi listened to the movement around the carriage and thought that he had already left the city at this moment. He is not afraid that he will really be transported to Jiang Ling, and he will be poured with the medicine that Lao Shizi forgets, he has been soaked in herbs since he was a child, and it will automatically dissolve after eating ordinary โกโก it will not take long to dissolve, just like this drug, and now the effect of the medicine is gradually passing. It's just that he can't let Jiang Ling take this risk, and he finally lives again, and he still wants to have a big fat son with her.
Well, girls can do it too.
What mess? Zhou Chengzhi asked for his untimely fantasies, stretched out his hand that was already able to move, touched his waist, and went to listen to the movement ahead.
At this moment the man in front of him shouted, and the horse slowly stopped in neighing.
"What are you doing?" One person spoke.
"Drink more in the evening, go relieve yourself."
"I'll go too, just so that the horses can rest and feed the grass."
The two were the two men before, one tall and one short, and after they got out of the car, the two of them were relieved on the spot next to the car, and the sound of the noise was very clear in the night.
"Today, these two are first-class goods, and the boy will be raised for two years and sent to be a little girl, I'm afraid it won't be the group of dignitaries and nobles who have broken sleeves in Jinling City."
"No, the little girl also looks like a rare water spirit, and when she is a thin horse for a few years, she doesn't know how much she can sell it for."
"But then again, that Zhang Po really dares to do anything for money, and I don't know which big family these two babies belong to, if they are really caught, our lives will not be enough."
"Po Zhang has been doing this for many years, and it's not that she hasn't been a child of an official family. The old woman said that the children of rich and noble families can be raised and sold at a high price. โ
"Yes, anyway, I was drugged in Jinling, and then I was locked up in a deep house for a few years, and there have been a lot of changes in my appearance and figure, where can anyone recognize it. Aren't the babies of the rich and noble families who were sold to Jinling a few years ago making their top brands in several brothels? โ
Zhou Chengzhi, who listened to this qiฤ in the carriage, sneered in a low voice, daring to love him as a prince, this is being sold to be a little girl, which is simply a big joke in the world.
He reached for the flare around his waist and popped out of the roof of the carriage.
A moment later, an explosion sounded, and a bright fireworks lit up in the air, scattering in all directions.
The two traffickers were startled, looked up and forgot to go down to the sky, and saw the fire trees and silver flowers in the night sky, and one of them smiled and said: "There are people in this wilderness who set off fireworks, God!" โ
Another chimed in: "Don't say it, it's pretty good." โ
The spark quickly extinguished, and the two of them were still a little stupid: "Why is this all there is?" It's boring. โ
"Forget it, hurry up and feed the horses."
โฆโฆ
Meanwhile.
Jiang Qian was already in a mess. The loss of a young lady of the Jiang family is already a big deal, but it also encountered a thing where the sky can fall, that is, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is also lost.
Chasing Yun was not familiar with Yangzhou City, so he followed Jiang Qian and looked for two circles, but he didn't see the shadow of two small things. The third prince is not favored by the emperor, but that is the heart and soul of the queen mother in the palace, and he is still the nephew of General Zhenyuan as his own. What happened to him in Yangzhou, he, a personal guard, didn't think about returning to Beijing and waiting for the punishment of the crime, he jumped directly into the moat of Yangzhou.
Empress Jiang was even more anxious, and after knowing the ins and outs, she punished Zhou Chengwen by kneeling in the courtyard and ordered his third brother to return to him when to start.
Zhou Chengzhi followed her to Yangzhou, if something happened, she would not be able to escape the responsibility of being the queen. I'm afraid that if it weren't for the title of queen who has only been sitting for a year, it would be difficult to preserve.
Master Jiang was laying out the matters that his subordinates were looking for again, when a strange spark suddenly appeared in the air in the distance. Chaiyun was the first to react, and his face was overjoyed: "It's the signal of the third prince!" In the southeast, something happened to him! โ
The queen asked, "What's going on?" โ
"I don't know yet." Chasing Yun hurriedly said, "Lord Jiang, please give me the fastest horse in the house, immediately." โ
Jiang Hongwen pointed to the housekeeper and ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly!" โ
