Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Barren Mountains and Wild Bandits Are Difficult to Walk
Lin Mei was not entangled in her heart, Liu Yufei was also full of depression, and finally hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed to go on the road with Xiao Zihuan.
Xiahou Linlang didn't know who Xiao Zihuan was, so it was very strange why Lin Mei and they looked melancholy as soon as they got into the car, and from time to time they flicked the curtain to look at Xiao Zihuan, who was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses outside the car, and whispered strangely.
"Lin Mei, Xiao Gongzi shouldn't know us, as long as we arrive in Beijing safely, let's quickly separate from him." Liu Yufei was looking out of the car window, and suddenly saw Xiao Zihuan riding on the horse and glanced back at her as if he was conscious, and then smiled like a spring breeze.
Liu Yufei hurriedly put down the curtain in his hand, and for some reason he was a little flustered.
Lin Mei saw that there were no outsiders at this time, so she quickly took off the cone hat, although it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival now, but the climate on the road was still hot, and she only wore the cone hat for a while, she felt itchy on her face, and now the injury on her face is not good, if she covers the prickly heat again, it will really outweigh the loss.
"My mother said that she lives with an old friend in the capital, and I will go directly to her when the time comes."
"Hmm...... Which family is it, I will let Steward Zhang send you down by the way. Liu Yufei didn't dare to look at the scenery outside the car window, so he simply pulled the curtain and whispered to Lin Mei.
Lin Mei poured several mouthfuls of water, and then said, "It seems to be Changmen Street in the east of the city, the wife of that family used to know my mother, and my mother has to go there to live there for a period of time every year." ”
"Nagato Street?" Xiahou Linlang looked back at Lin Mei in surprise, and Liu Yufei's eyes couldn't help but widen, "Changmen Street...... It has always been known as the first long street in the capital, the people who live there are either rich or noble, the title is hereditary for three generations, and then the house is built bigger and bigger, and the long gate street will be expanded every year, at a glance, the street is not at all endless. ”
Lin Mei obviously heard about this for the first time, frowning and muttering, "How can my mother have a relationship with the people who live there?" ”
At this time, the carriage suddenly jolted, and Lin Mei hit the top of the carriage as soon as she finished speaking, and she was so painful that she touched her head miserably and tears came out.
Liu Yufei immediately supported Lin Mei and asked in a panic, "Lin Mei, are you okay......
Xiao Zihuan didn't know when he had retreated to the side of the carriage window, his face was also heavy, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and said to Lin Mei and the others, "Miss Liu, there is a little trouble ahead, Xiaosheng will solve it immediately, I am really sorry for making you frightened." ”
Minor troubles...... Could it be a bandit?!
Liu Yufei and Lin Mei glanced at each other, and the three of them turned pale with shock, and finally Liu Yufei suppressed the fear and smiled reluctantly, "It's bothering Xiao Gongzi." ”
Xiao Zihuan smiled back at Liu Yufei, then put down the curtain and rode to the front.
And here, Shu Wangjin and Shu Zhou traveled day and night, and they had already arrived in the capital Shufu.
Shu Mansion is located in the east of the capital city of Changmen Street, prosperous, the area of the house is also one of the best vast, among which the pavilions and water pavilions stand in a forest, quite the elegant style of the Jiangnan water town building, all kinds of rare flowers and trees are coveted by the eldest princess of the queen's descendants, and it is worthy of the name of the rich rival country.
"The young master is back......"
Shu Wangjin had just gotten out of the car at the gate, and the concierge had already reported the news of his return to the house to Mrs. Shu, the old man in the house, but as soon as she heard that Shu Wangjin came back alone, Mrs. Shu said that she was dizzy and wanted to rest well.
Shu Zhou sighed secretly in his heart, if it weren't for his young master, how could the lord and his wife live so leisurely?
"Shu Zhou, go and call the shopkeeper of Qiaoyan Pavilion to come and see me." Shu Wangjin didn't care how unscrupulous his father and mother were, he cleaned his face and rinsed his mouth under the service of the maid, took a sip with a cup of Wuling rock tea in his hand, and commanded expressionlessly.
In the past, he didn't know about peach makeup, but now that he has returned to the capital, it is time for the queen to ask for guilt.
As soon as Shu Zhou saw his young master's appearance, he knew that he must be in an extremely unhappy mood now, but he was afraid that the shopkeeper of Qiaoyan Pavilion and those incense powder masters would not be able to mix in the capital.
Lin Mei and the others couldn't help but shrink when they heard the sound of fighting outside, they had lived peacefully for more than ten years, how could they have encountered such a murderous thing?
Linshan County is located in a remote area, and life is not very wealthy, so there are no major cases at all except for some petty theft cases on weekdays, and it is no wonder that Lin Mei and Liu Yufei are both worried, and Xiahou Linlang used to live in a powerful place like the capital, and of course there is no need to talk about public security.
"Yufei, do you think Xiao Zihuan will leave us and run away by himself......" Lin Mei said and went to lift the car curtain, and it happened that a splash of blood splashed on the car curtain, so frightened that she screamed and hurriedly took a few steps back, never daring to look at the situation outside.
Liu Yufei held Lin Mei's right hand, his body trembled a little, but he still forced his composure, "Xiao Gongzi shouldn't be that kind of person......"
Lin Mei sat down next to her and pouted, "Who knows......"
"This place is so close to the capital, why didn't the imperial court send people to encircle and suppress this group of bandits and bandits?" Xiahou Linlang pulled Lin Mei, she hadn't been back to the capital for several years, so naturally she didn't know when there were more bandits here.
"You ask me, who do I ask......" Lin Mei frowned, feeling that Xiahou Linlang's hands were full of coldness, so she stretched out her hands and covered her hands, "Don't be afraid, look at your cold hands......"
Although Lin Mei didn't like Xiahou Linlang, she couldn't help but comfort her when she saw her cold hand, "That Xiao Zihuan is the young master of the Jiangnan clan, and the dart master invited should not be much worse, although he is not very kind, but he should not abandon us on this road." ”
Liu Yufei turned his head and looked at Lin Mei and shook into chaff, but he still had the courage to comfort Xiahou Linlang and felt funny, some time ago, I don't know who pretended to be a ghost in the middle of the night and scared Xiahou Linlang half to death, and sure enough, as soon as Shu Wangjin left, the relationship between the two eased.
The three of them only heard the sound of fighting outside the carriage, and after two or three pillars of incense, the sound of shouting and roaring gradually subsided, Lin Mei was about to lift the curtain of the carriage to look out, but saw a pale and slender hand caressing the curtain of the carriage, and the handsome face like jade was full of red blood spots, which looked extremely hideous for a while.
"Ahh Lin Mei fell on Liu Yufei's body as soon as she fell, and when she looked closely, she found that the person with a bloody face like a ghost crawling out of hell was actually Xiao Zihuan.
"Xiao Gongzi...... You're hurt? Liu Yufei helped Lin Mei, and saw that Xiao Zihuan's plain white clothes were also stained with blood, so he couldn't help frowning.
Xiao Zihuan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wanted to wipe his face, but the brocade was also stained with blood, he tightened his eyebrows in disgust, threw the brocade pap to the wasteland with a shake of his hand, and said slowly, "The three young ladies were frightened, and Xiaosheng was not injured." ”
Liu Yufei couldn't bear to see him look so handsome before, but now he has become as hideous as a ghost, so he took out a plain lotus silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him to wipe his face, out of caution, she deliberately took a plain handkerchief that was not embroidered with her maiden name, after all, this Xiao Zihuan is a person with a criminal record, and she doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Miss Wang.
Lin Mei was stunned from the sidelines, and said straight in her heart What happened to Yufei today, she actually went to talk to Xiao Zihuan, didn't Yufei still hide when Xiao Zihuan married that day?
Xiao Zihuan received Liu Yufei's kindness, wiped his face slightly, and then looked solemn, and instructed those dart coachmen, "Keep going, be sure to reach the town ahead before sunset." ”
Steward Zhang saw Xiao Zihuan leaving, so he leaned under the car window and asked in a low voice, "Miss Biao, are you okay?" ”
Liu Yufei shook his head and asked how the situation was now, whether there were any casualties or anything like that.
Steward Zhang stretched the look on his face at this time, and said in surprise, "That Xiao family son actually knows martial arts, there was a thief who wanted to sneak attack Miss Biao's carriage before, Xiao Gongzi cut off his head with a wave of his shuriken, you should also see the blood stains on Xiao Gongzi's face, that is what splashed on him when he killed the bandits." ”
Lin Mei pursed her lips, what about martial arts, it still can't change the fact that he is Sven scum.
