102 Friend or Foe
Zhu Mingyu was pulled by the man and ran, shuttling in the alley, the noise behind him gradually became smaller, Zhu Mingyu ran a little out of breath, his heartbeat was so strong that he couldn't hold on, and he was reluctant to go by holding on to a tree on the side of the road.
Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, the man also stopped, and Zhu Mingyu suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and pointed it at him, and asked, "You, who are you!" Although she hasn't rested yet, there is no one in these four hits, and she has to strike first.
Zhu Mingyu looked at this person, he must be a practitioner. He looked to be in his twenties, of medium height, with dark skin, a tough appearance, and although his clothes were ordinary, he did not look like a person in the rivers and lakes.
"This is Mo Ming, how can it be in the girl's hands?" The man was a little surprised, but he didn't continue to approach Zhu Mingyu, but stood at a safe distance, and said, "Go down Li Yuanji again, just passing by, the girl doesn't need to panic." ”
Zhu Mingyu didn't speak, still looking at him vigilantly, is it such a coincidence? How can a passerby risk step forward and save himself in that situation?
Li Yuanji continued to say sincerely: "It is indeed passing by. He looked like he didn't take Zhu Mingyu's suspicions to heart.
Seeing that Zhu Mingyu was still holding the dagger at him, Li Yuanji took two steps forward and easily snatched the dagger down, but before Zhu Mingyu could react, the dagger had already arrived in his hand.
Li Yuanji turned the dagger around again, handed it back to Zhu Mingyu, and said, "Girl, if I have the intention to harm you, I can't save you, and besides, you are not my opponent at all." He said this with confidence.
It's just that I was saved that the problem!
There were so many people, but they rescued her. How suspicious you think. Zhu Mingyu took the dagger, since he was not ready to kill himself, his life was worry-free. Then let's see the trick and see what his purpose is.
"I'm going back and see." Zhu Mingyu was very worried about Zhu Mingyao and them, only he was rescued, and hoped that those killers were aimed at him and not to kill innocents indiscriminately.
Li Yuanji said: "It's better not to go back now, I saw that most of those people's arrows were aimed at the car you were in." ”
Zhu Mingyu was hurriedly dragged out by him and didn't pay attention to the situation at the time, and when he said this, he was even more sure that those people were coming for him: "My sister, they are still there." ”
"When I opened the car door, I saw you alone." Li Yuanji said a little suffocatingly. "Just bring her out with you."
Zhu Mingyu was a little puzzled, did he really not see kapok?
Li Yuanji said: "I'll send you home first, and then make plans." ”
"It's not far from my house. Thank you Childe for saving your life. Zhu Mingyu also paid attention to the direction when she ran with him, and she had more than ten years of memories of the capital, so she would not get lost.
Li Yuanji said uneasily: "I'll send you back, it's late at night now." In case there is any danger along the way, I can also take care of one or two. ”
Zhu Mingyu wanted to refuse. After thinking about it, he said, "Then there will be labor." Stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, and he saved himself, although Zhu Mingyu had some suspicions that this matter had something to do with him, and if he was too suspicious and wrong, wouldn't it be too ungrateful.
Thinking of Zhu Mingyao and them, Zhu Mingyu was a little uneasy. Li Yuanji didn't feel Zhu Mingyu's soul at all. After asking where Zhu Mingyu lived, he went on the road. Zhu Mingyu did not say that he lived in the Hengwang Mansion on the royal street. And said that he lived in the Luyuan Hutong a few streets away from Hengwangfu.
Li Yuanji seemed to be very familiar with the capital, and when he heard Luyuan Hutong, he said: "I remember that there is a very delicious restaurant there, but I don't know if it's still there." ”
"Listening to Li Gongzi's accent, it doesn't look like a northerner, is he here to catch the exam?" Zhu Mingyu remembers that next year is the year of the big exam, and many candidates will come in advance.
"I'm from Fuzhou, and I'm really here for reference, but I also lived in the capital for a while when I was a child," Li Yuanji didn't need Zhu Mingyu to inquire at all, so he reported to his home, and said very worriedly, "I didn't expect that after so many years, the security in the capital has become so poor." ”
Zhu Mingyu echoed: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. ”
Li Yuanji thought so, nodded and said: "The city defense is not satisfactory, the security check is too lax, I saw a few sneaky people at the city gate, and they escaped the inspection by stuffing money to the guards." ”
"There are so many people entering the city every day, and there are only a few gates to enter the city, if everyone checks carefully, I'm afraid there will be a long queue outside the city gate."
When Li Yuanji heard this, he said to Zhu Mingyu in a serious tone: "The girl's words are bad, you can send more people, in case you let in any lawbreakers, it will be even more difficult to catch them after entering the city." ”
"It's not so easy to be a gate guard."
"That's right, many people can only give up because the threshold is too high, if the martial arts are opened, there will definitely be many aspiring men who come to apply for the exam."
Zhu Mingyu felt that arguing with him again would not lead to any results, so he admitted defeat and said: "Li Gongzi is reasonable, I don't often go out and don't pay attention to these." ”
Li Yuanji saw that Zhu Mingyu agreed with his opinion, so he was satisfied: "The girl has lived in the boudoir for a long time, so naturally she doesn't understand this, I won't laugh at you." ”
Zhu Mingyu was a little stuttered, if this person didn't pretend to be too good, he would really be a stunned young man.
"By the way, I forgot to ask the girl's surname." Li Yuanji introduced himself for a long time, and it seemed that he only remembered to ask this.
"My surname is Zhu."
"Miss Zhu, how old is I to you, I can't help but warn you, although today is the Yu Lan Festival, but after putting on the lights, you have to go back early, and if you encounter a robbery, spend money to buy peace." Speaking of this, Li Yuanji was a little puzzled and muttered, "Now the bandits' bows and arrows are better equipped than the guards, and I really don't know how the military department does things." ”
Zhu Mingyu didn't know how to pick up the stubble at all, she now believed most of it, he was indeed passing by, and he didn't notice anything at all.
Soon arrived at Luyuan Hutong, this time there was no situation, but Zhu Mingyu still clutched the dagger in his sleeve tightly.
"It's good that Childe is sent here." Zhu Mingyu stood at the mouth of the alley and thanked Li Yuanji, "If I hadn't met Gongzi today. I really don't know what to do. Now she only has one percent suspicion about Li Yuanji, that is, she wonders if he has a lack of tendons in his brain.
In such a dangerous situation, he dared to come forward to save people, for he had doubted his actions. Zhu Mingyu silently despised himself in his heart, it was really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who didn't know the hearts of good people.
Li Yuanji looked at the dark alley but said uneasily: "Then what's the matter, I'll send you in." ”
Zhu Mingyu couldn't refuse, so he could only tell the truth: "Actually, son, I don't live here." ”
Li Yuanji was stunned, but he didn't think about why Zhu Mingyu was lying. Instead, he asked, "So where do you live?" ”
"Heng Wang's Mansion." Seeing him so frank, Zhu Mingyu despised his villain even more.
Hearing this, Li Yuanji clapped his palms and said, "I know there." Let's go. ”
This time on the road, Zhu Mingyu was embarrassed to test Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji looked careless, and talked to Zhu Mingyu about something else. He talked about how he used to go to Yujie when he was a child. I haven't entered the Hengwang Mansion.
Seeing that Zhu Mingyu was a little sullen, Li Yuanji reacted and comforted: "I think your family must be fine, usually if something happens, the guards of the Gyeonggi Wei capital must arrive in two quarters of an hour, I think they have been saved." ”
"I've borrowed the good words of the child."
The two turned around the place where they had been attacked just now and walked towards the royal street, choosing a road with fewer people, but they were stopped by several soldiers as soon as they reached the intersection.
I saw Zhu Mingyu and Li Yuanji coming over. A tall and lanky guard immediately stopped them with a crossbow: "What man? You can't go here, take a detour. ”
Li Yuanji pulled Zhu Mingyu back. lest she be touched, she stepped forward and said to the guard: "This girl is from the Hengwang Palace. ”
The guard didn't believe it, and said with a straight face: "No one can go in, hurry up and go away, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”
Another chubby guard looked kind-hearted and said, "Girl, no matter which courtyard you are in Hengwang Mansion now, you can't enter it now, the young lady of the palace is lost, and now she is gathering forces to search and rescue." ”
I'm afraid it's her who is looking for her, Zhu Mingyu is also a little anxious, Princess Heng must be very worried about herself, so she said: "I am the person they are looking for." ”
The talkative guard sighed and said, "Girl, I kindly advise you, why do you lie to people? ”
There was also a young guard beside him and said: "I don't look at what I look like, I dare to pretend to be a member of the royal family." ”
Zhu Mingyu really didn't know what to say to prove his identity, but they weren't ready to listen, and waved their guns to let them leave.
Li Yuanji pulled Zhu Mingyu aside and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Only then did he remember to ask himself, Zhu Mingyu didn't have the heart to complain about him, and said honestly: "The princess is my aunt, and she must be looking for me in a hurry when she knows that I am gone." ”
Seeing that Zhu Mingyu was indeed very anxious, Li Yuanji said: "Okay, I believe you." ”
Li Yuanji asked Zhu Mingyu to wait for him in the same place, while he walked back.
Seeing that he was coming again, the oldest guard said impatiently: "Why is it here again, I can't understand the words, right?" ”
Li Yuanji hugged his fists and said, "Offended." ”
After saying that, he quickly punched the guard to the ground, and seeing that he suddenly moved, several other people hurriedly picked up their weapons and stepped forward, but Li Yuanji was not in a hurry, and he leveled the person with a few punches.
Zhu Mingyu stood not far away and looked a little stunned, but Li Yuanji beckoned to her and said, "Come here." ”
The two crossed this intersection, but there were obviously more people at the next intersection, and it seemed that these streets were blocked. Zhu Mingyu grabbed Li Yuanji, who wanted to continue to solve the guards by force, and said: "This is not a way, I think it is better to go back to the place where I was attacked, there must be someone there who knows me." ”
"Okay." Li Yuanji was also unambiguous, and responded, "No wonder they are well-armed, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time and are coming at you." ”
Big brother, do you understand......
Zhu Mingyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Because he knew Zhu Mingyu's identity and felt that those people were not dead, Li Yuanji no longer talked nonsense as easily as before this time, but took Zhu Mingyu back very cautiously.
When I arrived at the place of the incident, there were many more people, including soldiers and civilians, all of whom were residents of the neighborhood, some of whom were bold enough to open the door to see the excitement, and some who were timid were also looking at the door. Zhu Mingyu saw from a distance that there were many soldiers around, and she still couldn't get by.
At this time, the crowd was pushed out of the way, and a team of people rode out, and Zhu Mingyu saw that the leader she knew, it was Wang Yi.
didn't care about that, Zhu Mingyu squeezed out while calling Wang Yi's name.
Wang Yi heard someone call his name, and before he could find where the person was, he saw a person standing in the middle of the road, he was startled and hurriedly reined in. Li Yuanji was also shocked when he saw Zhu Mingyu rushing over, and hurriedly followed, pulling her back to the side of the road.
Wang Yi, who stopped the horse, wanted to teach this girl who didn't know whether to live or die a lesson, but when he looked at it, he was surprised: "Miss, it's you!" ”
"What about the others?" The first thing Zhu Mingyu did was to ask this.
Zhu Mingyao was not injured, her car didn't shoot a few arrows, but Kapok was shot while hiding in the car, the guards died a few, and Wang Cheng was also injured.
Now that the person has been found, the first thing he naturally does is to take her back, Wang Yi personally led a team of people to escort Zhu Mingyu back, but the other team of people was still looking for someone who ambushed Zhu Mingyu nearby.
Li Yuanji saw that Zhu Mingyu was fine, so he was about to leave. Zhu Mingyu stopped him and insisted on asking him to go back to Hengwang's Mansion together, she was worried that there was still a remnant of sin who had not left, and seeing Li Yuanji alone would be detrimental to him. Wang Yi felt that it was not a way to delay like this, so he also persuaded Li Yuanji together. Li Yuanji also had a cheerful temperament, so he responded.
This time, their group passed through several checkpoints unimpeded, and they were beaten by Li Yuanji, and they couldn't help but be very surprised to see Zhu Mingyu and Li Yuanji riding through under Wang Yi's escort.
In King Heng's mansion, Princess Heng couldn't sit still at all, she regretted it a little, she couldn't help Zhu Mingyu's pleading, and let her go out. Mama Wen comforted her on the side, saying that Zhu Mingyu would definitely be auspicious.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and Princess Heng hurriedly went out and saw Zhu Mingyu and a few people riding into the second gate. When Zhu Mingyu got off the horse, Princess Heng went over and hugged Zhu Mingyu.
"Auntie, I'm fine." Zhu Mingyu felt that Princess Heng's hand holding her trembled slightly, and her heart felt warm but also a little sour, if her family knew that she had encountered such a thing in her previous life, she would probably be frightened.
Princess Heng looked at Zhu Mingyu carefully, and after confirming that she was okay, she was finally relieved. Only then did Zhu Mingyu introduce her: "Auntie, this is Li Gongzi who saved me, thanks to him today." ”
Li Yuanji also stepped forward and said, "Li Yuanji sees the princess." ”
Hearing this name, Princess Heng was stunned and asked, "Who are you Li He, King of Hailing?" ”
Li Yuanji didn't expect Princess Heng to suddenly ask about this, and said truthfully: "It's my father." (To be continued......)
