Chapter 112: Escape
"There's someone else in this room!"
The remaining two still couldn't figure out the situation, but by the light of the torch, Yu Wantong saw the footprints on the ground. It turned out that no one usually came to this dilapidated City God Temple, and when Rong Zheng and them came in, they didn't know how many inches of dust had accumulated on the ground. I don't feel like stepping on it at all. Yu Wantong got up and looked for the footprints, and found the hiding place of Mu Xuan and Rong Zheng smoothly.
"Who are you, and why are you hiding here?"
Rong Zheng raised her eyes to see, although the light was dim, but she understood the person in front of her, this person was unusually tall, taller than Mu Xuan beside her, and looked very powerful.
Rong Zheng closed his lips tightly and did not speak. Mu Xuan subconsciously protected Rong Zheng tighter.
Yu Wantong shouted: "You guys come out for me!" ”
The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and Mu Xuan has long measured the strength of both sides. He might be able to get out of the way, but he had more to worry about. He didn't want Rong Zheng to follow him and get injured. He slowly stood up, holding Rong Zheng tightly with one hand, and Rong Zheng also stood up.
Yu Wantong drove them to the front.
Rong Zheng saw the other two people in the room clearly, a black robe sitting in the grass with a mustache, and a face like a full moon. The first time she saw this person, she felt that this person had invisibly put a lot of pressure on people.
The other was the sharp-tongued one who wore a gray robe, with a long face and a white beard. The one behind him is like a yaksha.
Just when the two were thinking about how to get out, a sword in Yu Wantong's hand suddenly rested on Rong Zheng's neck, and Rong Zheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
Mu Xuan originally protected Rong Zheng behind him, although Rong Zheng called for help, Mu Xuan felt his strangeness. Eagle-like eyes looked at the surroundings sharply, and he shouted, "Please let this good man behind you let her go." ”
"It's easy to let her go, you have to tell the truth. If there is a half-sentence, don't blame my sword for not recognizing people. ”
Mu Xuan judged the situation, it didn't matter to him, he was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Rong Zheng. Therefore, it is particularly cautious.
At this moment, the sharp voice suddenly spoke, and asked sharply, "What are you hiding behind?" ”
Mu Xuan said truthfully: "She was kidnapped, and I chased her all the way here to save her back." ”
"Nonsense!" The sharp voice obviously didn't believe Mu Xuan's words.
Yu Wantong pressed the sword towards Rong Zheng's neck by another inch, and the cold blade had already cut her neck. As soon as she moved slightly, the sword would cut through the skin.
Mu Xuan said in his heart that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, maybe no matter what they did, the people in the house did not plan to let them go. Most of the unlucky ghost in the courtyard has already been killed. His gaze rested on the man sitting in the haystack. The heart is that this person is the master, and it will not be achieved at this moment. While he was mediating, he quickly jumped to the edge of the haystack when he was unprepared, reached out and grabbed the man in the black robe, and stopped him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
The shrill voice didn't expect such a scene to happen, and screamed sharply: "Damn beast, you still don't let go!" You wicked stinking thing! ”
Mu Xuan saw him scolding without words, but he didn't dare to come forward to stop him, so he expected that this person would not know martial arts. Now it's easy to do! He pressed his hand a little harder, and threatened: "You stand up for me!" ”
The black-robed man had no choice but to follow him. Slowly stood up.
Mu Xuan's fierce gaze swept towards Yu Wantong, like a cold sword stabbing at him: "You let go of her!" ”
Yu Wantong was not so easy to compromise, he didn't like someone to coerce him, so he said: "Why, you let it go first!" ”
At that time, there was tension, and if you were not careful, you could lose your life.
The sharp voice was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he first persuaded Mu Xuan: "This master, you are smooth, we are not trying to attack you." It's just that it's so strange that you are hiding behind and eavesdropping on us, and you have to guard against it. You have to be merciful. Then he said to Yu Wandao: "Old Yu! You have to take care of your master. Don't mess around! ”
The man in the black robe was about to speak, but because Mu Xuan grabbed his throat, it was a little difficult to speak. Mu Xuan relaxed a little, and the black-robed man said with difficulty: "Yu Wantong! You let go of this young lady! ”
Yu Wantong had to do as he was told. He took back the sword that was attached to Rong Zheng's neck.
Mu Xuan didn't let go of his hand immediately, he said to Rong Zheng: "You come to me." He said as he led the black-robed man to the door.
Rong Zheng is a little weak, and with the moment just now, his actions are not very neat. But fortunately, she followed to the door smoothly, and Mu Xuan slapped the black-robed person. Quickly pulled the Rong Zheng and ran out. At this moment, he had to pray that there was no ambush outside, otherwise they would not be able to fly today.
He took Rong Zheng into the woods, and when he saw that his horse tied under the tree was still there, he took Rong Zheng and got on the horse, and he quickly turned over, grabbed the reins, and grabbed the horse's belly, and the horse under him ran away.
"Try to lie on the back of the horse, don't sit up straight." Mu Xuan was worried that those people would shoot arrows at them.
No matter what Mu Xuan says at this moment, Rong Zheng will do it. Mu Xuan's heart said that as long as he bypassed this forest, it would be much easier to get on the road in front of him.
It wasn't until he ran far away that Mu Xuan was obviously relieved. The two sat up straight.
The three people in the City God Temple looked at each other, walked up to the black-robed man in a sharp voice, bowed down, and said, "The master has frightened you. If you don't let Lao Yu catch up and kill those two. If you are still angry, go back and find out where it is, you will punish him for the nine clans. ”
The black-robed man obviously didn't want to chase anymore, waved his hand and said, "What do you say about the Nine Clans, I can't do that yet." Let them go. ”
Yu Wantong hurriedly asked: "Master, do you believe what that little white face said?" ”
The black-robed man saw the ropes on the ground and said, "Believe it or not, it's a matter of words." I guess it might be some kind of young man who eloped from a large family, and was found by his family and was about to escape, but we broke in. There is no way to do it again. ”
The two had no choice but to follow him.
Rong Zheng has never encountered such a thing as today, shocked and frightened. Rong Zheng cares about the people who kidnapped her, and I don't know what happened to the other two.
Her chest fluttered violently, and she asked nervously, "Uncle Mu, where are we going?" ”
Mu Xuan said in her ear: "Back to the villa, don't worry, nothing will happen." Regarding the person who tied you, I will also find a way to find out the truth. ”
Mu Xuan is still a little scared when she thinks about it now. The scene just now came back to his mind repeatedly. If he hadn't kidnapped the man, would they have been able to escape? He was really afraid of the sword in Yu Wantong's hand, if Rong Zheng died here, what should he do?
Although it's not the time of the full moon. But there is still a faint moonlight. Mu Xuan can also accurately identify the direction at night. He took Rong Zheng and finally returned to Qixia Villa.
Today, it happened that the county lord did not come back when he returned to the palace, Mu Xuan took Rong Zheng back to Tangli Study, and ordered the maids Fu Cui and Qiu Ci to come and serve Rong Zheng. Seeing that Rong Zheng had been in such a dirty place, he said to Fu Cui: "You go and find clothes to ask Miss Rong San to change." Then I told the kitchen to cook two delicate dishes. ”
Fu Cui agreed, and handed over the matter here to Qiu Ci for the time being.
Mu Xuan said: "Please also ask Miss Rong to stay here for one night for the time being." We'll take care of it tomorrow. ”
Rong Zheng Fang gave Mu Xuan a big salute and said: "Thank you Uncle Mu for saving your life, the little girl only wants to be able to tie the grass ring in the future and repay your great kindness." ”
"Don't say it, I'm glad I did. Otherwise, if you miss it, you don't know how to regret it in this life. It's safe here, you don't have to think about anything. Freshen up first, and I'll see you later. ”
After Mu Xuan finished explaining, he went out and called Ping Kang and said to him: "You take a few reliable people to the City God Temple to investigate, remember not to get too close." Don't alarm the people inside. ”
Pingkang agreed to do it.
Mu Xuan was worried about the situation on Cui Shangzhou's side again, and it was not so convenient to send someone into the city at this moment, so he had to worry about it tomorrow morning. He arranged it and went back to his study. But I saw that Rong Zheng had changed his clothes, and he sat in the study and bowed his head, not knowing what to think. Her face was flat, and she should have calmed down.
"You're scared!"
Rong Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm fine." ”
In today's situation, Rong Zheng did not faint in fright, nor did he cry and scream, he was very calm from the beginning, which made Mu Xuan feel a little surprised. He looked at Rong Zheng sitting in the shadow of the lamp with a quiet temperament on his face, and couldn't help but look at it twice. Until the maid brought the food, Mu Xuan invited Rong Zheng to come over for a meal.
So much has been experienced. Rong Zheng is indeed a little evil. However, he received a good education from an early age, until he was seven years old, and men and women did not eat together. It seemed a little unreasonable to let her sit with other men for dinner at this moment.
Mu Xuan saw that Rong Zheng was reluctant to come forward. had no choice but to come forward and grab Rong Zheng's hand, and dragged her to the table and sat down. Rong Zheng's face was flushed with shame, and he withdrew his hand in disdain.
Mu Xuan realized that Tang suddenly arrived at her, the situation was urgent just now, he pulled and hugged her, and Rong Zheng couldn't refuse if he wanted to. Mu Xuan was a little embarrassed and said, "There is no one else here." You can eat something for now. It's not easy to sleep when you're hungry. I'll go out and have a look. ”
Rong Zheng blushed and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
"It's okay, you can stay in peace. The maids will be sent with you. You're rested, and we'll talk about something else tomorrow. ”
Rong Zheng got up and agreed, and she didn't sit down until Mu Xuan went out. looked at the three side dishes placed in front of him, a pot of millet porridge, and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. She looked at the empty pair of dishes and chopsticks, and felt mixed in her heart.
Rong Zheng ate a little, and the maid came in to serve, and settled Rong Zheng to sleep.
The night was deep, and it was the first time to sleep in such a strange place, but Rong Zheng couldn't sleep at all. She thought about it carefully today, and the person who tied her didn't know if she could catch it alive, this thing was very strange, and the biggest possibility was that the people around her had a dark ghost, which gave people a chance.
Rong Zheng thought about it randomly, and couldn't help but think of the other three people from the City God Temple. What is the identity of those people, if it weren't for Mu Xuan's decisiveness, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for them to get out today. I heard them mention the Yuwang Mansion, what is the connection with the Mu family?
Rong Zheng felt that she didn't have to worry too much about this matter, and he would definitely find out. Sitting on horseback for the first time, it turned out that the feeling of riding a horse was like this. She felt very uncomfortable, far worse than in a car.
The wind outside was bleak, and Rong Zheng couldn't help but wonder if Mu Xuan had fallen asleep at the moment? This person, who didn't have much to do with her in her previous life, never thought that there would be so many intersections in this life. In his previous life, he finally escaped into the empty door, and it seems that he will not take that path again in this life, so how will he live his life?
Rong Zheng thought about it for a while, and it wasn't until she heard the drum beating outside that she fell asleep deeply. She dreamed about the City God Temple again, Yu Wantong's sword was still on her neck, and at the last moment, Yu Wantong did not put down the sword, but suddenly stabbed her neck. She saw her own blood coming out, staining her neck red. Before she fell, she saw Mu Xuan knock the black-robed man to the ground like a mad beast, and a moment before she closed her eyes, she saw him lunging towards her. He took her in his arms.
Yu Wantong's sword stabbed at Mu Xuan without a moment's hesitation, but Rong Zheng suddenly shouted: "Don't kill him!" Don't kill him! ”
Rong Zheng screamed in a hurry, she woke up from the nightmare, broke out in a cold sweat, waved her hands and sat up. Qiu Ci walked in with the lamp in his hand and asked with concern, "Miss Rong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Rong Zheng had palpitations, she calmed down for a while before she calmed down a little, and said, "It's okay, it's just a nightmare." She lay down again, looking at the darker and darker room, her eyes widened, but she did not dare to sleep again.
Qiu Ci added a handful of sleeping spices to the incense burner, and said to Rong Zheng: "Miss Rong, don't be afraid, do you want a slave to accompany you?" ”
It's not Rong Zheng's own person, and she is not used to accompanying the bed, so she said, "It's okay, you can go down." ”
Qiu Ci said: "The slave maid is next door, Miss Rong will come when she calls for something." ”
Rong Zheng agreed.
I don't know how long it took, but when Rong Zheng opened his heavy eyelids, he saw that the window paper had been dyed yellow, and the sun had come up. I don't know what time it was, Rong Zheng hurriedly sat up. And when they have put on their clothes, they shall go down to the ground.
Qiu Ci opened the curtain and came in, stepped forward and said, "Why doesn't Miss Rong sleep more?" ”
"It's so late?"
Qiu Ci smiled: "It's the beginning of the year." ”
"Where's Uncle Mu?"
"Cui Qiye is here, and the uncle is talking to him. Miss is looking for our uncle? ”
"No, no, not for now!" Rong Zheng waved his hand. She saw a patch of cyan under her eyes in the scope on her desk.
Qiu Ci smiled and said: "Miss Rong didn't sleep well, so she left a mark." But don't worry too much, as long as you use some powder, you should be able to cover up a lot. We have a kind of powder here that comes out of the palace, which is very light and not astringent at all. I heard that it was a foreign tribute. (To be continued.) )
