Chapter 22: Returning Home

Just as Liu Jing was holding the box of lost gold, looking at him with blank eyes, imagining if he could let him go, the young leader strode towards his mount and ordered: "Liu Wenjing's whereabouts are suspicious, and she is carrying gold of unknown origin, lock her up!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, a knight immediately answered with a clear voice, 'Yes!' He strode up to Liu Jing, flicked the chain in his hand, and put Liu Jing on a strong one.

The chain was so heavy, and with this sudden set, Liu Jing's whole person was taken forward and almost fell to the ground.

Hearing the noise behind him, the young leader turned his head.

Looking at the slender and exquisite Liu Jing under the firelight, under the black and thick chains, the white and almost transparent face, and the trembling and desperate little eyes, he pursed his lips and said, "No need to lock it." ”

The knight replied dryly, "Yes." He glanced at Liu Jing's small body and thought secretly: The boss is really, this thing is obviously used to deal with those tough thugs. Now it's actually used to scare this little Confucian student.

At the moment when the chain was on the body, Liu Jing's face was as white as paper, as a girl who had been in her duty for more than ten years, her mind was blank at that time, and there was only one thought: I'm finished, I'm going to prison......

The chains of this official family, in the hearts of ordinary people like her, belong to felons. In her life, she never thought that she would one day wear such a thing.

Because of excessive fear, until the chain was taken down again, Liu Jing did not come back to her senses.

The young leader was already sitting on the horse, he saw Liu Jing's unsteady appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly, he saw him sitting on the horse, hooked his hand at her, and called, "Come here." ”

Liu Jing, who was still in a panic, walked over honestly.

The young leader stared at her condescendingly, his eyes unusually bright in the firelight. He leaned over slightly and said softly to Liu Jing, "You really committed a crime this time." He met her dark and watery eyes, and said softly: "Well, give you two choices, are you chained and taken back to the yamen, or get on my horse and go back to the yamen with me?" ”

Is there still a choice?

Liu Jing's lips trembled, and she said in a low voice: "Get on your horse......"

"So?" The young leader squinted slightly, his figure on horseback shifted back, and said softly, "Then you climb up yourself." ”

"Yes." Liu Jing at this moment is simply very honest. She carefully hugged the horse's neck, and as soon as her legs were raised, she wanted to step on something and turn onto the horse's back. But where else can we borrow from him but his feet? What's more, she has been so frightened by him that her legs are limp and she has no strength?

Seeing that she had used her strength for a long time, she only kicked three inches above the ground, let alone turned over and got on the horse, and that height was not as long as a horse's hooves. The young leader's lips twitched. A few knights on one side had turned their heads and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Jing jumped a few times, but she didn't jump up, she raised her face, which was flushed with exercise, and looked at him with dark eyes. She wanted to beg him, but she couldn't say it, she didn't even dare to look at him more, for fear that he would say the last sentence, "Can't you come up?" You'd better put on your chains and go. ”

Seeing Liu Jing jumping around there, jumping back and forth and standing still, the knights couldn't help but laugh.

The corners of the young leader's mouth were also slightly raised, and his eyes were bright because of the smile. Facing the embarrassed Liu Jing, he bent down and lifted her arm, and lifted her on horseback like this, placing it in front of him.

Liu Jing got on the horse, feeling the warmth of the arm behind her, and the man's breath above her head, her ground turned red, and the whole person was so stiff that she didn't dare to move.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a knight rushed to the northwest corner, and the man was still far away, so the knight said loudly: "Chief, the surname Xia Di has run early." ”

"Ran early?" The young leader frowned.

The knight rushed to the front, and he saw Liu Jing who was placed in front of him by the young leader at a glance, and at that moment, you said 'ho', and he said haly: "Boss, what's going on?" Do you really like this little white-faced Confucian? Tsk tsk, today I learned that Lu Dao Tou turned out to be really a man who likes men. ”

The young leader's body stiffened, and above Liu Jing's head, his indifferent voice came, "Who said I fell in love with her?" ”

The knight cried out, "Don't admit it, chief, you didn't expect him to hold him so carefully in front of you?" ”

These words obviously angered the young leader, and he said gloomily: "This boy is a criminal! As soon as he said that, he looked at the knights around him who wanted to smile or not. In the blink of an eye, he thought: Yes, how could anyone put the criminal in his arms like this?

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to hold Liu Jing, put her on the ground, and was just about to speak, when there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him. Everyone turned their heads at the same time, only to see that under the night, a mighty team appeared at the official road. And the direction in which the team was coming was the dock.

Looking at the team, the young leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face turned cold. And beside him, another knight sneered: "These eunuchs! ”

The young leader stretched out his hand to stop his words, turned his head and glanced at Liu Jing, and said impatiently: "Go back from the west side of the dock!" The tone was extremely harsh.

Liu Jing quickly looked up at him, and after making sure that he really said this to herself, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a random salute, turned around and ran towards the west. While running, Liu Jing thought to herself: It seems that those eunuchs are at odds with this person. From her father's words and the records of the historical books of the past dynasties, she felt that those eunuchs had always acted in a weird way, and they were good at tricks that could not see the light. This time, the young leader had told her to leave from the west, avoiding the eunuchs, which was a real kindness.

The knights looked at Liu Jing's distant figure, one by one smiled, and one of the knights even said: "Boss, your attitude just now is really not good, you have fallen in love with someone, how can you ask him to get out so rudely?" ”

The other knight also laughed, "That's it, it's really not okay to do this, the chief." ”

The young leader was not happy, he had a dark face, and said coldly: "All nonsense! That guy is extremely hateful, I have a deep enmity with him for a long time, but I just play tricks on him, how can I look down on him? At this point, he didn't know what he thought, and he was already gritting his teeth. At that moment, he turned to the knights, looked at them earnestly, and said, "Don't say that kind of thing again." ”

Liu Jing pulled her legs and ran wildly, she was already scared and her legs were weak, but when the young leader told her to 'get out', her strength immediately recovered. At this moment, her only thought was: get out of here, get out of this place right away!

Running wildly, she was so tired that she could only open her mouth and gasp for breath when she ran out of the docks.

From here to Liufu, there is still a distance for the boss, and it is impossible for Liu Jing to find her own ox cart at this time, so she has to walk back to her home one foot deeper and one foot shallow.

Originally, Liu Jing was still worried that it would be unsafe to walk at night like this, where did she know the road, and if she walked down the road, she could meet knights riding horses and galloping from time to time. This night's Wujun City was destined to be uneasy, until an hour later, Liu Jing returned to her door, and a knight galloped past her.

In front of the house, in the dim light, you can see a few people standing there in the distance. As soon as Liu Jing appeared in the light, those people ran towards her, and Liu's mother called out even more worriedly: "Child, is it you?" In Liu's mother's arms, Liu Xuan called out in a milky voice: "Big brother, big brother." Big brother is back......"

Liu Jing hurriedly sped up, rushed to the front of several people, and saw Liu Mu and others who were crying with joy, and the coachman who was standing behind and grinning happily, she said with a bright smile: "What are you worried about?" Isn't that okay with me? ”

The coachman took a few steps forward and said happily: "Da Lang, you don't know what to do, after the villain waited outside for a while, there was a sudden chaos on the dock, and then those swingers on the dock drove us away. When leaving, the villain heard the roar of Na Xia Jun, and his heart was terrified. Luckily, Da Lang is back, fortunately he is back. ”

Mother Liu also said: "Child, if you don't come back, we will go to find you...... This night, those heroes always come and go, which is really worrying. ”

Liu Jing stretched out her hand to hug her little sister, and while walking inside with her mother, she smiled and comforted, "Mother, the child is really fine." When she entered the house, she put the one hundred taels of gold in front of her mother, and said with a smile, "Not only did the child have nothing to do, but he also earned a hundred taels of gold." Mother, now we don't have to worry about money for a while. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Liu's mother was already crying loudly. She choked up and said, "Child, it's really hard for you......" Her daughter, who has always been pampered, is now carrying such a big burden. One hundred gold, the last one hundred gold, it was spent before it took a month, my daughter got a hundred gold this time, I don't know how many risks and fears she had? She, an old woman in the world, panicked when she heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, but her daughter wanted to profit in the stormy waves.

Liu Jing walked to her mother who was crying, she slowly knelt down, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around her mother, Liu Jing put her face on her mother's shoulder, and said in a dumb voice: "Mother, don't worry, isn't the child a good child?" After a pause, she comforted again: "Mother, with this one hundred taels of gold, the child will be able to slowly figure it out for the future family, and it will no longer be tired and worry about the mother." ”
