Chapter 159: Encounter with Bandits
Miaoyu said: "Madame, don't scare yourself, didn't Miss tell her fortune when she was born?" She's a rich and noble life, and she'll be fine. But Mrs., since the young lady left, you have not had a good bed and meal, and the person is also haggard, when you arrive in Liuzhou, if the young lady sees the lady like this, she will definitely be sad and distressed. ”
Mrs. Chen sighed, "This makes me not worried, my lord and I have spoiled the green girl for eighteen years, and I haven't let her suffer a little, and now I haven't seen her for so long, the green girl doesn't know what the situation is, if something happens to the green girl, then I can't live." As she spoke, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but shed tears.
Miaoyu hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madame, don't be sad, wait here, there is Liuzhou City in front of you, if it's not too early today, Madame might as well rest first, and you can see Miss tomorrow morning." ”
Mrs. Chen was sad for a while before finally resting.
The next day, before dawn, Wang Shouming practiced his sword in the courtyard as usual.
Although his father was a civil official in the past, he also attached great importance to his martial arts, he was talented and willing to endure hardships, after so many years of training, although he was not as strong as Cen Zhaohou's martial arts generals, he was much stronger than ordinary martial arts practitioners.
Usually he has to wait for him to practice for more than an hour, Wang Yuan lazily got up to deal with official business, today Wang Shouming only practiced for a while, and then saw Wang Yuan come out of the room in a hurry, and saw him say hello to him.
Wang Shouming asked, "What are you going to see in such a hurry?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "Yesterday, a common man came to report to the official, saying that a group of bandits from other places came to the north of the city, and when I went over yesterday, I asked those bandits to start attacking passing cars and horses in the early morning, so I thought that I would bring someone over early this morning and catch the person, so as not to harm the people passing by." ”
Wang Shouming asked, "Do you know how many of those bandits there are?" Do you have martial arts? ”
Wang Yuan said: "There are about a dozen people, and there are not many people, who fled from other places, thinking that the emperor of Liuzhou Tiangao is far away and the place is small, so they want to wreak havoc here." I don't know if there is kung fu or not, but the people who were robbed were rich families or scholars who were powerless. ”
Wang Shouming put away his sword, "Then I'll go over with you to take a look, you are a powerless scholar, lest you be robbed by them." ”
Wang Yuan was not annoyed when he heard him say this, "That relationship is good, Brother Shouming, you are strong in martial arts, if the hero saves the beauty and saves a little girl, people may still fall in love with you." ”
Wang Shouming scolded him with a smile, and then followed Wang Yuan out, those yamen guards were already leading their horses and waiting at the door, Wang Shouming suddenly thought of something, walked to the door and called the subordinates, and told them that if they drank green, they would tell her that they would go to the north of the city to deal with official business, and let her have breakfast by herself.
After saying that, he mounted his horse and ran towards the north of the city.
Mrs. Chen's carriage was also about to reach the north of Liuzhou City at this time.
Mrs. Chen was worried, and the carriage was very bumpy, and she did not sleep well last night, and woke up early in the morning.
I opened the curtain and looked, but I saw that it was early in the morning, and only a little light was revealed in the sky.
Miaoyu also woke up, so she asked Mrs. Chen, "Madame can use some dry food." ”
Madame Chen shook her head, her heart was now full of urgency to see the green.
As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight outside.
Miaoyu hurriedly opened the curtain and looked at it, her face was very anxious, "Madam, it's not good, we may have met bandits." "Huh?" Mrs. Chen was horrified, "Are there many of them?" Can we deal with the family we brought? ”
They brought with them four competent servants and a coachman, so as not to attract the attention of others.
Miaoyu shook her head, "I don't know, it seems that there are a few people, madam, what should I do." Miaoyu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Mrs. Chen was also at a loss, and suddenly, the sound of fighting outside stopped.
Mrs. Chen and Miaoyu looked at each other, Miaoyu trembled and pulled away the silver, but saw a bright big knife stretched out in front of them, which frightened the two people in the car almost fainted.
The bandits with knives and faces told them to get out of the car quickly, and Mrs. Chen and Miaoyu could only get out of the car with knives pointed at them.
But I saw more than a dozen bandits outside the car, and the family and coachman they brought had been killed by them.
Mrs. Chen looked at the dead corpse on the ground and exclaimed, but the bandit held a knife to her back, "Don't make any noise. ”
A man who looked like a bandit leader next to him walked over and looked at them, "It's expensive to wear." After saying that, he gave a look to the bandit standing next to him, and the bandit immediately said to them, "Take out all the money on your body!" ”
Mrs. Chen hurriedly said to Miaoyu: "Miaoyu, go quickly and take out all the silver we are carrying." ”
Miaoyu hurriedly took out a bulging brocade bag from her body and handed it to the bandit with trembling hands.
The bandit took it, turned it upside down, showed a greedy smile in his eyes, and immediately put on a fierce look and said to Mrs. Chen: "What about this money, how about calling Huazi?" ”
Mrs. Chen hurriedly shook her head, she felt that the knife on her back made her extremely painful, "A few strong men, we are here to visit relatives in Liuzhou, and we do have all this silver on our bodies." Mrs. Chen then said that she handed him the exquisite gold and jade bracelet she was carrying in her hand, "Strong man, this bracelet is worth 100 gold, please let a few strong men let us two go." ”
The bandit hurriedly took the bracelet from Mrs. Chen, looked at it, and felt that it was indeed exquisite, so the bandit said to the bandit leader: "Boss, what this woman gave is really good, should we let her go?" ”
The bandit leader's face was grim, "Fart, I haven't settled accounts with you about the woman you let go yesterday, what should we do if these sluts report to the official?" ”
Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "A few strong men, I promise that I will not report to the official, so you can let us go." ”
The bandit leader looked at her and Miaoyu, and Miaoyu showed a pleading look, "Please, please let us go." ”
The bandit leader pinched Miaoyu's chin, "This little girl is very delicate, so let's sell it to the Qinglou." ”
He turned to Mrs. Chen again, "It's a pity that you are really useless to us, and only dead people will not report to the official, so don't let us meet them in the next life." ”
After speaking, he picked up the knife and wanted to cut Mrs. Chen's neck.
Mrs. Chen closed her eyes tightly, tears flowed from her eyes, and Miaoyu next to her cried miserably, breaking free from the shackles and about to come over to block the knife for Mrs. Chen.
It was too late, and just as the bandit leader's knife was about to fall on Mrs. Chen, a stone flew over and hit the bandit leader's knife crookedly.
The bandit leader had an angry look on his face, "Who is it?" ”
When I looked up, it was a group of officers and soldiers coming towards them, "It's not good, it's from the Yamen." ”
The bandit leader was anxious, and he didn't care about Mrs. Chen and Miaoyu, so he turned around and ran away with his men.
As soon as Wang Shouming and Wang Yuan arrived in the north of the city, they saw that these bandits who were doing evil were about to attack a woman, and Wang Shouming immediately threw a stone over.
When the bandits saw them, they immediately began to flee.
Wang Yuan hurriedly ordered the guards in the yamen to chase them, and they must be arrested and brought to justice.
Seeing that the woman and the maid were still slumped to the ground, the two hurriedly went over and asked, "Madam, are you injured?" ”
Mrs. Chen escaped, and before she could recover at this time, Miaoyu saluted the two people in front of her, "Thank you two sons for rescuing, we were not injured." ”
Wang Shouming nodded, "It's good if you're not injured." ”
Wang Yuan saw the dead coachman next to him, so he said, "Madame and girl have suffered this calamity, if you don't dislike it, let the coachman in my house drive for you." ”
Mrs. Chen came to her senses and hurriedly thanked them, "In this way, I am so grateful to the two sons." ”
Wang Yuan asked again, "I don't know where Madame is going?" ”
Mrs. Chen replied, "We are going to find the county of Liuzhou." ”
Today, Wang Yuan and Wang Shouming are both dressed in civilian clothes, and Mrs. Chen did not go out often when she was in Beijing, and she did not see them.
Wang Yuan and Wang Shouming glanced at each other, and Wang Yuan said: "Below is Liuzhou County, I don't know what Mrs. is looking for me?" ”
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her eyes were full of excitement, and she grabbed Wang Yuan's sleeve and said, "Are you Liuzhou County?" Is my green girl okay? ”
Before Wang Yuan and Wang Shouming could react, Miaoyu explained: "My wife is the wife of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I heard that my young lady is in the county mansion of Liuzhou not long ago, so I immediately came to find it. ”
Only then did Wang Shouming understand, "It turned out to be Mrs. Chen, everything is fine with the green girl in the county mansion, please rest assured." ”
When Mrs. Chen heard him say this, she looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Who is this son?" ”
Wang Shouming replied: "It's Wang Shouming down there." ”
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she looked at him in surprise.
She originally thought that this Wang Shouming was doing things for the prime minister, even if she heard Yin Lu say that Wang Shouming was better-looking, her temperament must be insidious, but now she saw that Wang Shouming was so gentle and elegant, and she saved them, which made her quite surprised.
Wang Shouming saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was still worried about drinking green, "Madame, get in the carriage, and when you get to the county mansion, you can know that everything is fine with the green girl." ”
Mrs. Chen nodded, feeling that her legs were still a little weak, and staggered into the carriage with Miaoyu's support.
Wang Shouming and Wang Yuan also turned over and got on the horse.
Wang Shouming's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't say a word while riding a horse.
Wang Yuan looked at his expression sideways and asked, "Brother Shouming, this Mrs. Chen came to Liuzhou, do you want to take Yinlu away?" ”
Wang Shouming shook his head, "It shouldn't be, in this situation, drinking green is the safest in Liuzhou." ”
Wang Yuan sighed, and asked again: "If you really leave in the future, Brother Shouming, will you miss him?" ”
Wang Shouming frowned and did not answer his words.
Wang Yuan continued: "I still wish I could stay with the green, with her, the food is much more fragrant." ”
Wang Shouming said lightly: "You didn't see you when you ate before." ”
So saying, he rode on his horse and walked on his own.
