Chapter 272: Apologies

Lu Qingzi was robbed of his dagger and tied to a firewood house.

This firewood room was gloomy and dark, exuding a pungent smell, but it was worse than that in the Baifanghua Mansion of Qi State at that time.

When the woman finally went out, there was a sound of heavy locking outside the door, and the corners of Lu Qingzi's mouth hooked up a smile, and she glanced at the crying Wanru beside her: "Do you remember me?" ”

Zhao Wanru rubbed her red eyes with her bound hands, stared at Lu Qingzi for a while, and then nodded and tentatively called Lu Qingzi's name.

"Can you help my sister take off the hairpin on her head?" Lu Qingzi looked at Zhao Wanru, leaned close to her ear and said in a very soft voice.

Wanru is still young, and she is alone in this room at the moment, only with her hands tied in front of her, not her feet.

Hearing Lu Qingzi's words at this moment, Wanru nodded, stood up cautiously and pulled out the hairpin on Lu Qingzi's head with her hand, and put it in Lu Qingzi's palm that was tied behind her back.

It was a crested wooden hairpin, which looked ordinary, but when Lu Qingzi's fingers moved, the original hairpin head had been separated from the hairpin body, revealing the sharp blade hidden inside.

Lu Qingzi originally thought that this thing would not be used, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Carefully cut the rope that helped him, and Lu Qingzi immediately untied the rope on his feet.

She moved her muscles and bones, loosened the tie for Zhao Wanru, and re-tied the hairpin with black green silk.

"Sister will take you out." As soon as Lu Qingzi's words fell, there were several screams outside.

Zhao Wanru was frightened here, and when she heard these shouts, she immediately trembled with fright.

Lu Qingzi protected her in his arms and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sister is here." ”

Zhao Wanru wept softly in Lu Qingzi's arms, and after a cup of tea, the sound of unlocking sounded at the door of the firewood room where Lu Qingzi was.

Lu Qingzi's hand subconsciously touched the hairpin hidden sword on his head, but when the door opened, Lu Qingzi saw the face of the guard standing outside the door.

She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Zhao Wanru and came to the door, "Let's go!" ”

The guard nodded and made way for Lu Qingzi.

There were a few people lying in the courtyard, and Lu Qingzi suddenly stopped and asked, "Are they all dead?" ”

The guard shook his head, "It's just that I'm fainting from my injuries." ”

Lu Qingzi didn't speak, and stood in place for a while, as if he had forgotten something.

The guards followed Lu Qingzi, and when they saw that she was holding Zhao Wanru and didn't move, they couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Don't you go back?" ”

Lu Qingzi hesitated and followed the guard to the door, suddenly stopped, looked at the guard and asked, "Have you seen a little girl, young and about the same age as Wanru." ”

"No, my subordinates didn't see it." The guard answered, and Zhao Wanru suddenly burst into tears.

Before Lu Qingzi could ask, she heard Zhao Wanru choke up and said, "Brother Huzi was taken away by them, woo!" ”

Lu Qingzi glanced at a few people on the ground, thought for a while and said to the guard: "I'll take Wanru back first, you ask about the whereabouts of Huzi, and come directly to the inn to find me." If you find that girl, bring her back to me. ”

The guard looked at Lu Qingzi with some anxiety and said, "Is it okay for Miss to go back alone?" ”

Lu Qingzi nodded, "It's okay." ”

Lu Qingzi's eyes were firm, and after saying that, he walked out quickly with Wanru in his arms.

The guard had no choice but to stay in this courtyard, preparing to wait for Lu Qingzi to walk away, and then wake up a person and interrogate him slowly.

Lu Qingzi returned to the inn all the way, turned the door and walked some people to and fro, and it was difficult to distinguish the main road.

She had never felt that the road back to the inn was so long, and even fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

When he arrived at the inn, Lu Qingzi only felt that he could finally relax his spirits.

The shopkeeper and the woman were still standing in front of the cabinet, and when they saw Lu Qingzi coming back with Zhao Wanru, surprise appeared on their faces.

"Wanru!"

The two came to Zhao Wanru in a few steps, and Mrs. Zhao picked up Zhao Wanru.

Zhao Wanru hugged Mrs. Zhao's neck tightly and whimpered: "Mother, I'm so scared." ”

"Wanru is back, don't be afraid anymore, my mother is here!" Mrs. Zhao's eyes were full of tears, and Lu Qingzi looked at Shopkeeper Zhao, "You still have to be vigilant in the future, this kind of thing, next time you won't be so lucky." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said yes again and again, and his eyes fell on Lu Qingzi's red and swollen cheeks, as well as the red wrists that were tied, "The girl is injured?" I have medicine for swelling there, I'm going to give it to the girl. ”

When Zhao Wanru heard her father's words, she looked up at her father and said, "My sister rescued me, and those people beat my sister." ”

Mrs. Zhao patronized the joy of Zhao Wanru's return, but forgot about Lu Qingzi for a while.

At this time, Fang noticed that Lu Qingzi was injured and her clothes were dirty, so the woman stood up and hurriedly said, "The girl is very kind, we all remember, I'll go and get medicine for the girl." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao also said: "The girl doesn't have to give the money for the past few days, the girl lives with peace of mind." ”

Lu Qingzi heard that they were so grateful, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"It's okay, it's not a serious injury, just go back and apply a hot towel."

Lu Qingzi was about to go upstairs as she spoke, but Mrs. Zhao stopped her and said, "Then how can it be done, you wait here, I'll go get medicine for the girl." ”

After saying this, he pulled Zhao Wanru upstairs, and Lu Qingzi had no choice but to wait downstairs.

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Lu Qingzi, and stopped talking a little.

Not long ago, when Lu Qingzi came to this inn for the first time, he asked people to stare at Lu Qingzi, for fear that she was a bad person.

It's just that he didn't expect that today it was Lu Qingzi who helped him find his child before the official mansion.

"Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Zhao?"

Lu Qingzi was a little uncomfortable by Zhao's shopkeeper, and couldn't help but ask.

"The girl was covered with blood before, and Zhao still guessed the girl in his heart, but now that I think about it, Zhao really spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Hearing Lu Qingzi ask, the shopkeeper Zhao bowed to Lu Qingzi embarrassedly: "Please don't worry about the girl with you, it's offended." ”

Lu Qingzi showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Shopkeeper Zhao: "When you open a store to do business, you have to be careful when people come and go, and it is good for the shopkeeper to be careful." I don't care, Shopkeeper Zhao is polite. ”

Seeing that Lu Qingzi's answer was so down-to-earth and generous, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but have a little more affection for Lu Qingzi.

Nowadays, there are not many people who can have such a bearing, not to mention that the person in front of him is still a woman.
