....................

A few fast horses galloped along the official road, and from time to time there were a few coquettish cries from the smoke and dust from the horses' hooves, and the horses were in pain, and they ran faster.

"County ..... Lord, we have traveled for a day and a night, and our mounts are tired, so why don't we rest here! A burly knight shouted panting.

"Okay, let's take a break here!" The woman also gasped for breath, and with great difficulty reined in the reins of the horse, and stopped the galloping horse, which snorted and kept spinning in place, foaming at the mouth and looking extremely tired.

The woman dismounted, gently stroked the horse's mane, and her tired eyes were full of love, maybe for the horse, maybe for the human.......

This woman is none other than Xu Wan, the granddaughter of Xu Guogong, the Nanjing garrison.

More than a month ago, after Xu Guogong finished his errand to inspect Haiwei, Xu Wan returned to Nanjing City with his grandfather.

Who thought that after Nanjing, Xu Guogong, in view of Xu Wan's character of causing trouble, adhered to the educational concept of strict management, and implemented the 'most severe ban in history' on Xu Wan of the Guogong Mansion, ordering the Guogong Mansion to be strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to intercede for her, let alone let her step half a step out of the Guogong Mansion.

Xu Wan urged sadly, 'ADHD' has penetrated into her bone marrow, how can she stand the confinement like a canary in a cage, pestering her grandfather every day to go out to play, how can Guogong agree? After criticizing her a few times, the order to watch her up and down tightened.

Xu Wan learned from experience and thought that the reason why her grandfather didn't let her go out was nothing more than that her unreasonable personality was too prominent. Therefore, during the lockdown period of the Guogong Mansion, she behaved very well-behaved, changed her rude and willful appearance, became humble and polite, and had a solemn demeanor, and had a beautiful trend of infinite development in the direction of 'knowledgeable and reasonable, three from four virtues'.

When the truth is false, it is also true, and when it is false, it is also false.

In just a few days, the Guogong Mansion fell into the situation of 'double rabbits walking low, and An can distinguish that I am male and female', completely falling under the illusion of the little witch comrade, countless domestic servants, nurses, and sergeants were shocked, all of them looked up to the sky with tears and wished the emperor mercy, and then the little witch rose to the stage of sincere support, which was really praised by everyone, and applauded.

As a result, countless 'pillow winds' blew towards Xu Guogong's soft ears day and night, and his old man gradually changed from his initial suspicion to really thinking that this tricky and eccentric granddaughter had changed her appearance, so he relaxed his vigilance and completely gave up the grounding of her...... Xu Wan, who succeeded in his treacherous scheme.......... So on a day when he was no longer defended, he sneaked out of the Guogong Mansion with a few henchmen who had sworn allegiance to him, and rushed straight to Guanhaiwei.

Why go to Hai Minist? Even she couldn't tell, but she secretly felt that there were interesting places there, and maybe there were interesting people.

Xu Wan got off the horse, ran out of the guards' sight, and came to a closed place, leaning against a big tree, quietly thinking about her thoughts.......

To be honest, this is the first time she has slipped away from the Guogong Mansion, or maybe it is a man's smuggling. Xu Wan pursed her lips tightly, her heart was still pounding, the shadows in the woods covered her red cheeks, but a pair of wonderful eyes were shining in the darkness, and the anger and shame in the eyes were intertwined, making her eyes appear a little inexplicable.

"Humph! Big pervert, Zhang Mingyuan, don't think that I won't be able to find it when I hide in Guanhaiwei, hum! Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you will never escape from my clutches. Xu Wanfen clenched her fists tightly and swore secretly.

After a moment of silence, a drunken smile appeared on her face, and her tone loosened a lot: "....... Of course, I'm not trying to torture him............."

The tone gradually deepened, and finally turned into a murmuring mosquito.

Ever since she didn't know Zhang Mingyuan in Cixi, Xu Wan's heart was filled with this nasty guy, and she couldn't wave it, she didn't understand what it meant? I always feel very uncomfortable missing this thing, I think about him every day, and he is the one who thinks about him every day, in short, I think about him all the time.

Xu Wan grew older, and in a hazy way, she realized that she seemed to have fallen into love, but the girl's shy psychology prompted her to try not to classify this unspeakable thing as a love affair, and she hesitated and couldn't make a decision, and finally made up her mind to come to Guanhaiwei to meet him to relieve the grievances in her heart.

After a long time, she whispered again: "Happy fun, parting bitter, among them are even more infatuated children." You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to? ”

Her pretty eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her face was quite dusty, showing that she was tired from running around; Shaohua is like a flower, just in the year of joy and worry-free, but there is a faint sense of regret in the complexion, as if it is sad and sad, and there is no way to avoid it.

There was the sound of squirming footsteps behind her, Xu Wan was indifferent, for her, it was just a signal for the guards to urge her to get on the road.

Suddenly, the neck was cold, and a knife was silently placed on Xu Wan's neck, and the white and tender skin could almost see the thin blood veins under the mirror reflection of the steel knife.

Xu Wan was shocked, frightened, and didn't dare to move again.

......................

Behind the big tree, two treacherous lewd laughs came, and then two strangely dressed strangers with a stinking smell rushed out like ghosts, looking at the frightened prey, the two laughed very happily, one of them spoke half-baked Chinese and smiled very presumptuously: "Hehe, the woman is very beautiful, very appetizing." After speaking, he didn't forget to touch Xu Wan's face wantonly.

Another was shocked: "Stop, this is the young master's prey, you don't want to live?" ”

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? Just touch a handful, hehe. ”

The other said no more, but dragged the two away with all his might, because the nearby guards would notice the anomaly at any time.

...............

Caught in a desperate situation, feeling the strangeness of the two, Xu Wan finally realized that she had been kidnapped by the Japanese Invaders, and knew that it was impossible to escape her innocence under the claws of the Wolves, who were inferior to the beasts, and she felt that all thoughts were lost, her miserable face was full of tears, and she regretted that she did not listen to her grandfather's words........ Damn Zhang Mingyuan, where are you?

The knife on the neck is very stable, just right to keep a distance from the neck, a trace of blood is splashed on the spot, and the two widows are also afraid that the prey will not be able to think of suicide, so while maintaining the distance between the steel knife and the neck, the other hand is holding her head, so that she can not have even the slightest movement, Xu Wan can even feel the metal cold from her neck.

Xu Wan was very scared, she grew so big, she had always been the heart of the Duke of the Dynasty, she had always said the same thing in the Guogong Mansion, and she had never been coerced by someone with a knife and neck.

Knowing that it would be impossible to escape today, Xu Wan quickly calculated in her heart, as the granddaughter of the princess, at best, it represents the majesty of the royal family; As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, at least it also represents the backbone of the royal family. How can the lord of the county be bullied by these beasts? It is absolutely impossible to let them let themselves go, but how can the aristocratic temperament flowing in the blood be insulted by these beasts at will? It's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and he sacrifices his life for righteousness.

After her mind was firm, Xu Wan calmed down, but the fear of facing death still came to her, and the tears couldn't stop flowing again......... The more I think about it, the more messy it becomes, I simply don't want to think about it, life and death are rich and noble...........

.................

A fast horse came galloping, the knight on horseback had been galloping for a day and a night, Wuzi was still energetic, not tired, but the horse was a little unbearable, and his mouth gradually spat out thick white foam.

The knight is Zhang Mingyuan, he was very sad at this time, he ran around for a day and a night, not to mention finding Xu Wan, he couldn't even find a single person, and when he was in a panic, he didn't know when the corners of his eyes were full of tears, blurring his vision. After a brief rub, the force of urging the horse forward is getting stronger and stronger......... If the little witch has a mistake, he thinks that he will definitely be uneasy in this life, and maybe he will apologize with death.

There was a faint neighing sound of horses in front of him, Zhang Mingyuan was in good spirits, and finally met the crowds, and the hard pursuit of a day and a night was finally not in vain, and he couldn't help but pat the horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, and the speed of progress was faster........... I hope that God will live up to his heart and meet Xu Wan and his party.

"Is there a Guogong Mansion in front of you? Zhang Mingyuan, deputy Qianhu of Longshan in Xiaguanhai, came to pick up the county lord and his party. ”

Before the person arrives, the voice comes first.

The county lord naturally recognized Zhang Mingyuan when he accompanied him, and he also heard about his heroic deeds in the Longshan Anti-Japanese Campaign, and he admired him very much. At that moment, several entourages stood up one after another and came to greet them happily, casually like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"Brothers, is the county lord here?" When he got closer, he recognized it as the entourage of the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Mingyuan was overjoyed, but his anxiety was still revealed.

An attendant laughed and said: "It's rare that Deputy Zhang Qianhu cares so much about my county lord, hehe, the county lord is resting in the forest, so I will send someone to report to the county lord." The voice is cordial and also contains ridicule, it seems that the relationship between Zhang Mingyuan and Xu Wan is well known.

After speaking, he gestured to the serving maid of the county lord beside him, and the maid understood, winked at Zhang Mingyuan, covered her mouth and ran away with a smile.

Zhang Mingyuan smiled and said nothing, but there was a faint flush on his shy face, the county lord found it, and his heart that had been hanging for a day finally fell.

As soon as he laughed with a few guards, an exclamation came, and it ruthlessly shattered Zhang Mingyuan's calm mood.

"Someone! The county lord is gone.......... County Lord, County Lord......." heart-rending shouts kept coming.

Before they could think about it, several people rushed towards the county lord's resting place..........

Listening carefully to the maid's grief-stricken narration and looking at the mess on the ground, Zhang Mingyuan's heart was raised again, there is no doubt that the county lord was taken hostage, and according to the situation, it should have been held hostage by the widows.

The guards also saw the fact that the county lord was held hostage by the Japanese invaders, and they were all trembling with fright, the county lord was lost in a small matter, and it was a big matter to be held hostage by the Japanese invaders..........

The situation is urgent, and it is necessary to make a decision immediately.

Feeling the trembling of the guards, Zhang Mingyuan raised his head suddenly, his sad eyes shot a fierce light, his face was full of cold light, and he said coldly: "A few big brothers, there should be officials and soldiers nearby to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders, and you will go separately to report the news, and then encircle and suppress in the direction where the county lord was held hostage." ”

After speaking, he rushed over the messy footprints that left in a hurry on the ground without looking back, and many years of special investigation experience showed great effectiveness at this time, Zhang Mingyuan tracked all the way, and the more he chased the terrain about desolate, he gradually found that the reason why this gang of would-be robbers was difficult to encircle and suppress must have established a hiding den somewhere in the depths of the dense forest, and Xu Wan might be hiding here.

The further he pursued, the more chaotic his heart became, judging from the time Xu Wan was held hostage provided by the guards, half an hour had passed, and the group of would-be robbers should have been wandering for a long time.........

Flustered, the speed of the pursuit under his feet became faster and faster, the branches and leaves that rushed to his face scratched his face, countless thorns cut and damaged his clothes, and scraped his body with pain, and after a while, he was covered in scars, Zhang Mingyuan didn't care, tried his best to maintain the posture of a 100-meter sprint, and did not forget to shout the name of 'Xu Wan' during the run, hoping to get her response in danger, even if it was the weakest answer, as long as she responded, it means that she is still alive............

After running for a long time, he was about to stop to check a suspicious spot, when suddenly, he stumbled under his feet, and then his legs tightened, and a slender and strong beast rope rose into the sky, and then his mind was dizzy, and his feet were hung up and down, and he dangled back and forth in the forest...........

Bad luck happens every day, and it has not been broken since the day of the crossing, and Zhang Mingyuan, who is so defenseless as today, and who claims to be the best special soldier, can't help but secretly regret his recklessness in his heart.

Crash!

After a few crisp swaying of the grass and trees, more than a dozen dwarf beasts in strange clothes and armed with swords popped out from behind the bushes...........

"Ahh

Another soprano voice was heard..........

Although his mind was very chaotic, and countless thoughts flashed in an instant, after Zhang Mingyuan heard the familiar soprano, his whole heart was completely put down, and the direction of pursuit was right, and he finally found the little witch without any suspense.

.................
