CHAPTER XLIV
Shen Ruyu didn't care about her, and the three of them slowly moved towards a vacant house nearby with Li Yun, so that no archers would outflank them from behind. Seeing that the distance between her and the civilians was getting bigger and bigger, suddenly three more civilian girls gritted their teeth, stood up suddenly, and ran towards Shen Ruyu. This time Li Yun did not bring archers, and at this moment, those guards were forced to retreat by Shen Ruyu at a distance because of their scruples about the hostages, and there was no way to deter them at all, so they could only watch like this.
Looking at the movements of the girls, a few more civilians moved, but in the end, only one of them also stood up and hurriedly chased after them, and the others were all silent in fear. Shen Ruyu took note of the faces of the girls who came running, their expressions were tense, and they looked very nervous - this is normal, but at the same time, they also showed a bit of stubbornness that they were unwilling to just be tied up - from this difficult expression, Shen Ruyu believed that they really wanted to run over, rather than waiting for an opportunity to prepare to take her down and rescue Li Yun to ask her for credit.
But when the last girl who was a step slower approached, the young man waved his hairpin and stopped her with a cold face, "Wang Erni, what do you want to do here!" ”
It was a thick-lipped girl with slightly dark skin, dressed in coarse cloth short clothes, hearing the young man's scolding, her face subconsciously appeared a little weak-hearted, but soon it became pitiful again, and she mustered up the courage to look at Shen Ruyu, "Please, please help me." ”
"Don't listen to her!" The young man was afraid that Shen Ruyu would be deceived, so he hurriedly turned his head and said, "I recognize her!" This person is not a good person, a famous scoundrel, he must not be well-intentioned! ”
Shen Ruyu looked at him and smiled, "It's good for you to call the shots." ”
In a way, Shen Ruyu is lazy. She thinks that who can be trusted, will no longer bother with her own brains.
The young man was stunned for a moment, he carefully observed her expression, and made sure that she didn't say anything back, so he blushed as if he had been greatly encouraged and rewarded, and turned his head to arrange for the girls who ran over, "The third sister of the Li family, the fifth sister of the Liu family, and the little lady Meng, you stand in front." ”
Standing in front can obstruct the other party's line of sight, and can also cut off the possible connection between them, which can be regarded as a good deployment, and on the basis of no trust, Shen Ruyu is also not at ease to expose his back.
And from his name for these three girls, it can be seen that the first two women are more familiar with him, judging from their coarse cloth short clothes, they should be the same poor family, and the little lady Meng is wearing a shirt and skirt, dressed exquisitely, and her appearance is also delicate, she should have read a book.
Compared with Li Sanniang and Liu Wuniang, she is weak and delicate, and it is difficult to see that she has such courage to take risks, but when she was the first to walk in front of Shen Ruyu and shouted "Ruyu Lady" excitedly and excitedly, Shen Ruyu probably understood...... It's her fan.
They got rid of the ill-intentioned Wang Erni and moved into the house. Within a few words, Shen Ruyu knew that this young man's surname was Lu, he had no big name, his nickname was Ah Ting, and his sister's name was Lu Pei. The family originally opened a medical center, but when the city was destroyed a few days ago, their parents were arrested in the barracks, and the medical center was also looted. And that Li Sanniang, the family is a pig killer, it is a family of butchers, Liu Wuniang's family is a hunter, originally lived in the mountains, who knows that the luck is too bad, when she went into the city to sell mountain goods, she was unlucky and ran into a rebellion, and Meng Xiaoniang is a scholar, the surname Meng is mostly related to the Lingguan Meng family, but mixed like this, even if it is related, it is estimated that it is also a side branch of the side branch.
After entering the house, Shen Ruyu transferred Li Yun to Li Sanniang and Lu Ating to take care of, one of them was familiar with the human body, and the other was skilled in killing pigs, and she was more suitable for hostages than Shen Ruyu.
However, she was short of energy, so Liu Wuniang took her place and shouted out what she said.
"Within a stick of incense, you know who I want to appear in front of me!!"
"We still need twenty fast horses!! Three days of dry food per person!! and the baggage I put in the post station, too!! ”
"I'll count five, if you still don't agree, then every half a pillar of incense, we'll cut off Li Yun's finger, you can do it!!"
Liu Wuniang's voice was very loud, and in the same room, Shen Ruyu felt that her eardrums were buzzing, but such a rough sound effect was also excellent, and the other party received all the conditions accurately, and felt the murderous aura from it.
Li Yun opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she cried too quickly, and she couldn't speak loudly when she hiccuped, the young man took a step forward with a hairpin, raised his hand as if he wanted to make another stroke, and she hurriedly shouted in shock, "Promise her, promise her!" ”
The captain of the guard heard his master's terrible roar from a distance, and had no choice but to sweat profusely and order a guard beside him to go to the inn, bring the people Shen Ruyu wanted to see, and then let another group of people prepare the horse luggage.
However, Beijun said that it was big and big, not big or big, such a place gathered so many clans and armies, it was basically crowded with people, and soon someone knew what was happening here, among which Li Yuan was actually the fastest to arrive.
"Shen Ruyu! What are you doing! ”
She rode on a tall horse and shouted righteously into the house from afar.
Shen Ruyu won't care about her, Li Yun doesn't like Li Yuan, and Li Yuan doesn't like where she likes to go, if Shen Ruyu can kill Li Yun, Li Yuan may be able to wake up laughing in the middle of the night - after all, the only one who can threaten her status as the "heir to the orthodox throne" is Li Yun.
But on the surface, she still had to pretend to be very shocked, worried and heartbroken.
"If I treat you as a guest, will you repay me like this?"
At the same time, Li Yun's escort captain was a very solid person, and the soldiers he had sent out before quickly led Wang Zijun, Kong Qingyang, Wen Ming and Mingxi to hurry over.
Li Yuan and Li Yun have always been at odds, and even the soldiers and horses they brought were not close to each other at a distance, and at this moment, there was an empty road between the two groups of people that could be used by the two of them, and the soldiers ran towards Li Yun's side in a panic from here.
Wang Zijun, Wen Ming followed behind him unhurriedly, both of them were from good backgrounds, and their demeanor naturally did not need to be detailed, their demeanor was excellent, and their clothes were in the wind. One has a fair-skinned skin and a warm temperament, which is amiable, and the other has a handsome appearance, a slender and slender body, and a cold look in a Taoist robe, which makes people admire.
Mingxi and Kong Qingyang followed behind them. Mingxi's current soul comes from the four great families, but now he is a little younger, and his expression and temperament are still a little green, and Kong Qingyang, who is the only one who is almost born, has a sassy and heroic posture because of his outstanding martial arts.
Between the murderous troops, these four people walked in twos and twos, dressed in fluttering clothes, and actually walked into a pomp and circumstance that attracted much attention.
The captain of the guard was about to send people over, but Li Yuan stopped her. Speaking from her heart, Li Yuan's strategy is not outstanding, but she is not stupid, so she detained Wang Zijun and his party, and sent someone to start shouting with Shen Ruyu, "The person you want has arrived!" Let His Royal Highness King Ning come out! Otherwise, you're not the only one who will chop your fingers! ”
The backgrounds of Wang Zijun and Wen Ming may also make Li Yuan have some scruples, but Mingxi and Kong Qingyang are real civilians with no background, in the eyes of these clans, they are just cheap and not worth mentioning, but Li Yuan knows that Shen Ruyu values love and righteousness, and will definitely not sit back and watch them be hurt like this.
At this time, the comparison is who is more ruthless, and who can make the other party dare not act rashly. As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, Li Yun's scream was immediately heard in the hut, Liu Wuniang held something with a coarse cloth, walked out expressionlessly, threw it towards Li Yuan, and said loudly, "Left thumb." Then he turned around and went back.
Then he began to convey Shen Ruyu's words in the room and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Acting King, these civilians are insignificant to you, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Ning's persecution too much, why would this be?!" All I want is to save the lives of these innocent people, but you want to push your aunt to a dead end? You're still living in a small North County, wouldn't it be too early to eradicate dissidents?! ”
Therefore, Li Yuan's ability can only be called "no different from ordinary people", and once things exceed her expectations, her face will obviously show a panicked look.
In fact, Shen Ruyu is not very good at negotiating, but before the crossing, I watched a lot of TV series, and I understood a little bit about everything, for example, deterrence is the most important when kidnapping, and when this kind of negotiation diplomacy, it is not wrong to put all the responsibility on the other party.
Liu Wuniang continued to shout, "We originally agreed that you would bring people here, and we would let His Royal Highness King Ning be safe, but at this moment, you broke the contract first, and His Royal Highness King Ning's thumb was not broken because of us." Let's say it again! People, leave it to us! Horses and dry food, leave it to us! All the things at the post station must also be brought over!! ”
"Within half a pillar of incense, the things we want must be in place, otherwise you won't want to know what will happen to His Royal Highness King Ning!"
"There's something to say!!" Li Yun's captain of the guard immediately screamed, and because of panic and fear, her voice showed an abnormally sharp voice. "There's something to say! Don't hurt His Royal Highness King Ning! I'll meet your requests! ”
As he spoke, the man who went to the post station to pick up the parcel also ran over profusely, and after a while, twenty horses were also led.
Li Yuan was on the side, and her expression suddenly became ugly. Because the captain of the guard didn't even ask her for anything, she was busy preparing the materials requested by Shen Ruyu, her face was pale, cold sweat was dripping, and she obviously felt very anxious about this accident, but in this case, it was the best explanation that she didn't regard Li Yuan as the one who was in charge - King Ning's guard captain didn't take her as a prince in his eyes, how could her expression be good?
But there are so many things that Li Yuan needs to worry about at this moment, so that as long as she thinks about other things that bother her, she can't even care about this little neglect.
If she wants to say anything, it is nothing more than that she was the first to get the support of her ministers to rise up, but after the uprising, she was unable to establish absolute authority.
Li Yuan thinks that she is the most orthodox heir to the throne, but for other clans, she is just like them, she is a loser who has failed to compete for the throne, in this case, after killing Li Cong, who stipulates that his sister must succeed to the throne? Of course, it's to see who is stronger!
Many ministers have also begun to waver recently, which makes Li Yuan more anxious, and more eager to do something to prove herself - of course not on the battlefield, she is not stupid, now they have no reserve troops to replenish, and one of the soldiers under their command dies one less, which is a weakening of their own strength, therefore, after hearing that Li Yun forcibly took Shen Ruyu away, Li Yuan immediately rushed over - because this is equivalent to Li Yun slapping her in front of all the clans in the city, if she doesn't respond, No one can take her seriously anymore.
But when she rushed over, she found that the situation was not quite the same as she thought - Shen Ruyu was too strong, she was so tough, she didn't look like the legendary Shen Ruyu, and it wasn't like the approachable, gentle and amiable Shen Ruyu who had been with her these days - she actually held Li Yun hostage!
At this time, Li Yuan's reaction had to be changed - if she could rescue Li Yun and solve this matter perfectly, this aunt would inevitably be a head shorter than him in the future, and her reputation would also rise many steps, and if Li Yun died in the hands of Shen Ruyu, then she would have nothing to lose.
But now, she has suddenly become a person with ulterior motives who wants to borrow a knife to kill people and eradicate dissidents, not to mention what other clans will think when they hear it, as far as it is now, it seems that Li Yun is to blame for the crime of being kidnapped!
Wang Zijun stood not far from Li Yuan, and when they took the package requested by Shen Ruyu, each led a few horses, met all the conditions at once, and walked towards the small house, she glanced at the young and somewhat overwhelmed prince, couldn't help but shake her head, and sighed.
Alas, if you don't have that ability, why can't you live a little more peacefully?
Be content and happy
