399. Worried

Shang Qiao opened his eyes and saw the big eyes that had not dried up and were crystal clear, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved. But soon he became vigilant, got up and took the young man into his arms, and looked coldly at the few black-clothed people in front of him. Although they were all skin injuries, such an action still affected the wound, making him frown, but he didn't make a sound.

Nangong Mo, who was sitting on the side, looked at such a Shang Qiao, and couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes. However, it is very good for a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old to have such calmness and tenacity.

"Brother Qiao." Xiao Xiao opened his eyes wide, lying in Shang Qiao's arms and screaming softly.

Shang Qiao patted her vest lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Ah Qiao is here." ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, touched his head and said, "Brother Ah Qiao, don't be afraid, it's here." ”

Even in such an environment, Shang Qiao couldn't help but tugging at the corners of her lips because of her innocent words.

"What do you want to do?" Shang Qiao hugged Xiao Xiao with one hand, and looked at Nangong Huai, who was closest to him, vigilantly. Nangong Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "You are Shang Qiao, Nangong Mo's master and apprentice?" Shang Qiao pursed his lips and didn't speak, Nangong Huai naturally didn't need his answer. The fact that Nangong Mo accepted a little apprentice was not a secret, and the people of the Water Pavilion naturally knew about it for a long time.

"Brother Qiao, they are villains. They want to catch the bad guys and give them to the big bad. Xiao Xiao hid in Shang Qiao's arms and whispered. It's just a whisper she thought she had, but in fact everyone present could hear it clearly. Nangong Huai was a little surprised, "Oh? How do you know I'm going to catch you for the big bad? "They didn't seem to have discussed the matter of Gong Yuchen in front of Xiao Xiao. Moreover, he was also skeptical that a three-year-old could understand these things.

Xiao Xiao frowned and raised his head proudly with a light snort: "I heard it, you secretly said it while I was sleeping." Hand it over to the big bad guys. You're all big bad guys, little bad guys, wait for my dad to come back and beat you up! ”

Nangong Huai was not angry, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you can come back in front of your father to save you." Be obedient until then. Otherwise, I will throw your brother Ah Qiao into the mountains to feed the wolves. ”

"Stupid, Brother Ah Qiao is not afraid of wolves." Proudly authentic. Brother Ah Qiao is very powerful, and last year he also beat a tiger to make a mat for the young, so that he will not be afraid of wolves.

Nangong Huai was choked for a moment, and sneered: "Oh? Your brother Ah Qiao is not afraid of one wolf, is he afraid of ten, a hundred? ”

"Gah?" Dumbfounded, ten seems to be a lot, how many are a hundred? It seems to be a bad guy who can't say anything, so he pouted unhappily and fell into Shang Qiao's arms, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Nangong Huai stood up, glanced at Shang Qiao and said, "You are the same, be honest, if you dare to do anything in secret, you don't want such a cute little doll to suffer and suffer, right?" ”

Shang Qiao had a cold face, and glared at Nangong Huai for a long time before he spit out two words, "Beast." ”

Nangong Huai sneered, ignored Shang Qiao and turned to leave.

A few people walked to the side, and the man in black at the head asked, "Are we going to take that kid?" ”

Nangong Huai said: "Unless you have a way to make that girl stop making trouble, then you can kill that kid." ”

The man in black frowned, obviously a little unhappy about this unplanned figure, "That kid is the apprentice of the Lord of Star City, the righteous son of Shang Rong, it will definitely not be easy to follow us here." I'm afraid I'll get in trouble if I take it with me. Nangong Huai said lightly: "Take care of that little girl, and by the way, tell that kid that he had better be secretive if he wants to do his tricks." I found it once, and I stabbed the little girl in the face. ”

The man in black glanced at Nangong Huai with a somewhat strange expression. It's understandable that these killers are ruthless, after all, they have nothing to do with that little girl. But Nangong Huai is the little girl's maternal grandfather, is it really okay to be so ruthless? Nangong Huai naturally didn't see his expression, but just lowered his eyes and said: "Although we have caught that little girl now, if we want to send people to the palace master, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Not to mention that the vicinity of Chenzhou must be heavily guarded, even if they go out, Nangong Mo can't block them in Chenzhou, so they will naturally wait on their way back. It's just that he is still a three-year-old child, and he is very fragile if he doesn't say anything, and if he accidentally gets sick or something, his plan will fall short.

The man in black said indifferently: "Isn't this the reason why the pavilion master asked the Duke of Chu to make a move?" The power of the Water Pavilion is at the disposal of the Duke of Chu, as long as the child is safely delivered to the Pavilion Master. ”

Nangong Huai was a little impatient, and said, "I don't understand, what is the use of this little girl in the palace pavilion?" If you want to threaten Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, you want that boy to be more useful, right? Or is it Princess Changping? "In fact, in Nangong Huai's opinion, if you want to threaten Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, it is useless to arrest anyone. Because if he was Nangong Mo and the others, it would be absolutely impossible to be at the mercy of others because of a child or Princess Changping. Sons and daughters can be reborn, although the mother is important, but can she have her own weight?

The man in black said: "It's naturally best to catch two children, but instead of dividing the two ways, maybe you will end up empty, and it will be a very good result to have one." As for the girl, the pavilion owner felt that the girl was more pleasing to the eye, and he would not be able to help but pinch him to death. "Even if he captures the hostages, the pavilion master obviously doesn't want to face a child who may look like Wei Gongzi. However, at a glance before, these two children actually looked exactly the same, not exactly like Nangong Mo or Wei Junmo, but like the advantages of the two people were fused together.

"Forget it." Nangong Huai also knew that he was now under the fence, and there was not so much room for criticism, so he said in a deep voice: "Nangong Mo must have been in the hands of the Water Pavilion in Chenzhou now, fortunately, we evacuated most of the people in advance." Next, I will have people attack several important county towns in Chenzhou and cause chaos. ”

The man in black frowned and said, "Our manpower, attacking the city garrisoned by the Chenzhou army?" "Even if the martial arts of the people in the Water Pavilion are better than the ordinary Chenzhou army, the difference in numbers is definitely something that cannot be returned. Nangong Huai disagreed, and said lightly: "If you want to go out, you naturally have to sacrifice." I know what you Water Pavilion does, but don't forget that the people in Zixiao Hall are the same as you. They may not be unthinkable of the routes and habits you can think of. As long as you follow the line, it won't be much of a problem to take a county seat close to Chenzhou by surprise. "Unless a county town is where the military camp is located, there are usually only a few hundred soldiers and horses stationed there, and at most there are only a thousand people. It's not hard to take it off by surprise. They just want to cause chaos and don't need to be there. If you can't beat it, you just need to run.

The man in black pondered for a moment before he nodded and said, "The pavilion master said that if you listen to you, you will do as you say." ”

Nangong Huai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, I will let people attract Nangong Mo's attention when the time comes." And it just so happens that I know a road that others don't know, and from there I should be able to leave Chenzhou smoothly. ”

The man in black was a little surprised, in order to capture the hostages, the matter they investigated in Chenzhou was definitely not short. Is there any route that they don't know but Nangong Huai knows?

Nangong Mo sneered and said, "When the old man led the troops to fight the world, you didn't know where they were. There are places you will never set foot in your life. The man in black nodded, and glanced at the man in front of him who described a thin and gloomy expression, indeed, although they are killers, they will not drill into the deep mountains and old forests unless they have a mission goal. Nangong Huai followed the first emperor to conquer the world back then, and it is not surprising that he would know some off-the-beaten-path routes.

"Then there is Lao Chu Guogong, Wei Gongzi is only afraid that he is about to return to Chenzhou, and he will have to rely on Your Excellency. The meaning of the pavilion master is that he can stay with the prince for as long as he wants. ”

Nangong Huai nodded gloomily and did not speak again.

"Brother Qiao."

Under a big tree, he sat in Shang Qiao's arms and whispered. The big bright eyes were full of fear and grievances at this time. Shang Qiao raised his hand and gently rubbed the hair on the top of her head, and said softly, "What's wrong?" Hungry? Xiao Xiao shook his head, "I miss my mother, my father, my brother and my grandmother." ”

Shang Qiao patted her vest, "Well, Brother Ah Qiao also misses Master them." Don't be afraid, we'll be back soon. What about Feifei? ”

Xiao Xiao showed a hint of grace, "Aunt Liu was poisoned, I asked Feifei to save Aunt Liu." ”

Shang Qiao sighed, if Feifei was by his side, maybe Shigong's Xiaobai could find them. Now there is no way, they don't know where they are, with Shang Qiao's injured appearance now, maybe they can escape, but it is obviously impossible to escape with a three-year-old child to escape from the killer of the Water Pavilion. And it is naturally not possible to let Shang Qiao leave his children and go back to report the news, no matter what, he can't leave a three-year-old child in the hands of a group of bad people.

"Brother Qiao, will my father and mother come to save us?"

Shang Qiao smiled, "Of course it will." Master and Master are very powerful, they will come soon, don't be afraid. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xiao nodded obediently, slowly yawned and fell asleep in Shang Qiao's arms.

In the Chenzhou camp at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, after receiving the news from Nangong Mo's order, Lin Changfeng and the others had a hard time looking at each other. King Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Someone caught him? Who is so bold as to catch that little girl, isn't they afraid of being annoyed to death by her? Although he said this, His Royal Highness King Ning's expression was a little unkind.

Lin Changfeng couldn't help but glance at someone, when did he still have a poor mouth? Standing up, Lin Changfeng said: "His Royal Highness King Ning, my subordinates want to go back to Chenzhou." ”

"I'll go too!" Xiao Qianjiong said loudly.

King Ning touched his chin and thought about it, "It's okay, there is this king here." You sue the county lord of Xingcheng, with this king here, I guarantee that a fly in the Water Pavilion will not want to fly over Qingyun Mountain. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness King Ning." Lin Changfeng said in a deep voice.

King Ning waved his hand and sighed, "That little girl is a little beauty, although she always has to call this king uncle." ”

Lin Changfeng was about to turn around and go out, when the guards outside the door hurriedly came to say, "Lord Qi, the enemy army suddenly began to break through in a big way and rushed down the mountain. The front can't resist, so please send troops to support immediately. King Ning was stunned, "Oh? Yuan Chun couldn't bear it so soon? ”

Lin Changfeng said coldly: "I'm afraid that it may not be, this time is too coincidental." ”

King Ning also understood this truth, stood up and said, "Don't dare to be so much, since Yuan Chun can't wait, let's fight." This king is also very curious, who is more powerful between this king's Taining Wei and a generation of famous generals E Guogong! All the army is attacking! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Soon, the sound of anxious soldiers and horses sounded outside the barracks. The gloomy canopy of the sky and the rapidly assembled soldiers give people a sense of slaughter that is about to come.

Late at night, in the study of Chenzhou Mansion. Nangong Mo sat behind the bookcase with his eyes down, looking at the candle flame in front of him.

Zhishu came in with a bowl of ginseng tea, and looked at Nangong Mo, who was sitting in a daze, and sighed secretly.

"Miss."

Nangong Mo raised his head and looked at Zhishu, and said with a faint smile: "It's you." ”

Zhishu put the ginseng tea on the table and gently persuaded, "It's time for you to rest." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "I can't sleep." As long as he thinks of his daughter and Ah Qiao, who are missing, Qu Lianxing, who is seriously injured and dying, and Liu Han, who is still lying in the side courtyard and has just been buried, Nangong Mo can't sleep anyway. Zhishu said: "The little lady is a blessed person, and she will definitely be fine." If the county lord is too tired and hurts his body, how can he find the little lady. ”

Nangong Mo tugged at the corners of his lips, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "People who practice martial arts won't get tired so easily." Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Zhishu sighed in his heart and stopped persuading her.

Nangong Mo thought for a while, then asked, "Zhishu, Mingqin still hasn't found it?" ”

A trace of worry flashed in Zhishu's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "There is no news yet." "It is said that Mingqin is just a girl, and the other party even threw a steward like Qu Lianxing, who was relied on by the county lord, half dead and left it there, how could he capture a girl. Nangong Mo thought for a while and said, "You and Mingqin have been following Mama Lan together since childhood, right?" ”

Zhishu nodded and said with a smile: "The slave maid and Mingqin entered the house at the same time, and they were always bullied when they were young, but fortunately they had a good life when they met Mama Lan." Nangong Mo smiled: "If I hadn't gone back suddenly, I was afraid that you would still be living a peaceful life in the garden with Mama Lan." In the past few years, I have been bumpy and displaced, and I can't stand you. ”

Zhishu shook his head, "Why did the county lord say that?" If it weren't for the county lord, Mingqin and I wouldn't have been chosen by Mama Lan. If it weren't for following the county lord all these years, maybe she would be just a little girl for the rest of her life, and she would be a little girl in the future and then be an old woman. Where can you see so much of the world? Can you choose the life you want to live?

Speaking of this, Zhishu glanced up at Nangong Mo. He hesitated for a while before he spoke: "County Lord Mingqin, do you suspect that this incident has something to do with Mingqin?" ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How do you think so? ”

Zhishu smiled bitterly, "By this time, Ming Qin will not see anyone alive or dead. In the afternoon, Qin Gongzi also had some vague inquiries with the slave and maid about Mingqin. The county lord, the slave maid and Mingqin grew up together since childhood, if not all the time together, but it is almost the same. The slave is willing to take her life as a guarantee, and Mingqin Mingqin will never betray the county lord. ”

Nangong Mo sighed and nodded, "I don't want to believe that Mingqin will betray me." ”

"Yes, Mingqin is about to get married." Zhishu said softly: "When she becomes a relative, she is also a lady of a thousand households, and the good days are still to come, how can she still hope for the county lord Mingjian." Nangong Mo said: "Don't worry, I will let Zixu find out, and I will never wronged Mingqin." Whether she's dead or alive, I'll get her back. ”

Outside the door of "Mother", An An's voice came, and a small head poked in from outside the door. An An looked at Nangong Mo standing at the door with a calm look in his eyes, Nangong Mo stretched out his hand, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" An An approached Nangong Mo's arms and said softly: "An An can't sleep." ”

"Worried about my sister?" Holding An An on his lap, Nangong Mo asked softly.

An An nodded, looked at her mother's melancholy eyes, hesitated for a moment before reaching out her little hand to hug Nangong Mo, "Mother, my sister is fine." ”

Nangong Mo touched his son's little head and said, "Mother knows, my sister will be fine." So, don't worry about An An, go back and rest first, okay? Children don't sleep because they don't grow tall. ”

An An frowned a little tangled, and said: "An An accompanies her mother, she won't grow taller if she doesn't sleep all night, An An is taller than her sister, you can wait for your sister." ”

"Silly boy, how can you wait for your sister if you are a boy? If you grow as tall as your sister in the future, who will protect you? Nangong Mo couldn't help but be amused by his son, whether it was as tall as An An or An An as tall as Xiao Xiao, it was not a good thing. Nangong Mo doesn't want her daughter to grow as tall as Wei Junmo one day, and she doesn't want her son to grow as tall as herself.

An An nodded, "I protect my sister." Thinking that her sister was taken away, An An was also a little disappointed, "An An can't protect her sister." ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Now that you are still young, of course it is your mother and father who protect you and your sister." When you grow up, it's up to you to protect your sister and your parents. ”

"Hmm." An An nodded firmly.

"Someone."

A guard appeared at the door, "County Lord." ”

Nangong Mo said: "Send An An back." ”

An An slid down from Nangong Mo's knees, "An An is back, don't worry, good night." ”

"Go ahead." Nangong Mo nodded with a smile.

Watching the guards pick up An An and turn around and go out, the smile on Nangong Mo's lips slowly faded, and he sighed slightly.

"County Lord!" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Qin Zixu appeared outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "County Lord, the people below just reported that there is news of Ah Qiao." ”

Nangong Mo's heart was shocked, and he stood up and said, "Bring people in!" ”

"Yes."

------Off topic------

Why, Liu Han died a lot of relatives and felt too sudden. There are also some relatives who are looking forward to Liu Han's cp who have disappointed you. Is this an emergency, the people of the Water Pavilion are not waste materials, and it is definitely not easy to think about it for so long. Liu Han took the young man with him, as well as Qu Lianxing, who was a waste of martial arts. If she had to run for her life, no one would have been able to kill her, but it would have been difficult for her to protect her. As for why the young child was still snatched away, roar roar...
