In the evening, Dwarf Bean swaggered back to the stockade.

"Big brother, the dwarf cannon is back." Qiao Yihu and the low cannon walked in at the same time.

Qiao Yilong glanced at him and said, "The letter has been delivered?" ”

The low cannon smiled: "Don't worry, big brother, it's been delivered to her family." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, his face was immediately full of smiles, "That's good, come on, serve wine, let's have a few drinks tonight." ”

After a while, the four of them sat down at the table and began to drink.

Shen Lanxin sat in the corner and watched a few people drinking there.

"Drink, drink more, drink unconscious." Shen Lanxin sat in the corner and muttered.

"You, come and pour us wine." At this time, Qiao Yilong pointed at Shen Lanxin and motioned for her to come over.

Shen Lan's heart fluttered. "Let me pour you wine?"

Qiao Yilong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What?" Isn't it possible? ”

Shen Lanxin immediately smiled: "Okay, there's nothing that can't be done, it's just that you tied me up, how can I get over?" ”

Qiao Yilong signaled, Fang Si came over to loosen Shen Lanxin's tie, she rubbed her wrist and came to the table.

She smiled and said flatteringly: "Brother Long, in fact, I don't think you need to tie me up, there are so many people watching, and I won't run." ”

Qiao Yilong said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pour the wine." ”

"Oh." Shen Lan pouted in his heart, holding the wine jar and pouring wine one after another.

After a few people drank for a long time, Qiao Yilong clicked his lips and said, "It's not interesting to drink without vegetables, alas, you go and let the brother fry a few side dishes." ”

"Okay." As soon as the low cannon was about to get up, Shen Lan hurriedly said: "Brother Long, what are you bothering the brothers about stir-frying, I will." ”

Qiao Yilong looked at her with suspicious eyes, "Will you?" Look at the way you lose weight, do you know how to cook? ”

Shen Lanxin smiled. "You can't say that, you can't look at people on the surface, as the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight."

Qiao Yilong listened, "Fang Si, take her to the kitchen." ”

Fang Si brought Shen Lanxin to the kitchen.

Shen Lanxin asked Fang Si, "Fang Si, what kind of food does Brother Long like to eat?" ”

She thought that she would do her best to please that Qiao Yilong, maybe he would let himself go as soon as he was happy after drinking.

Fang Si thought for a moment, "Hmm...... The eldest brother likes to eat spicy food, no spicy food. ”

Shen Lanxin looked around, and there was nothing to do in the kitchen, so she thought about it.

"There it is."

Shen Lanxin found all the things that could be eaten in the kitchen, washed and cut them, and after a while, a spicy and fragrant dish came out of the pot.

Shen Lanxin brought a full pot of vegetables to the table.

Qiao Yilong stared at the dish covered with a layer of red peppers and wondered.

"What kind of dish is this?"

Shen Lanxin smiled: "You don't have anything in the kitchen, this is still a dish that I just made up from all over the place, self-created, try it." ”

"Hey, you don't have an appetite when you look at it?" The cannon had a look of disgust.

Qiao Yihu smiled and said, "They don't eat me." ”

Shen Lan laughed dryly.

"Brother Long, it's useless to look at it, whether it's delicious or not, you'll know when you eat it."

Qiao Yilong put aside the layer of chili peppers on top, sandwiched a slice of green vegetables, and ate it.

Hurriedly nodded, "It's numb and spicy, fragrant and delicious." After saying that, he took another bite and ate it.

Seeing that Qiao Yilong was eating with relish, the low cannon also took a bite with a skeptical attitude.

"Sure enough, it's spicy and fragrant."

Qiao Yihu and Fang Si also ate it, and they both said that it was delicious.

"It's been a long time since I've had such an appetizing dish." Qiao Yilong was sweating from the chili peppers.

While eating, he said to Shen Lanxin: "In this way, all our food will be yours in the future." ”

"To me?" Shen Lanxin glared incredulously.

Qiao Yilong said lightly: "Every day's pig food, Lao Tzu has enough to eat, from today on, the food of our Dragon and Tiger Gang will be handed over to you." ”

"When your family takes money to ransom you, when do you leave."

Shen Lanxin originally wanted to cook a dish to please him, but he didn't expect him to let her be in charge of everyone's food, which was really finding something for himself.

She regretted it a little, why didn't she carry some sweat medicine with her, and stunned you all one by one.

Shen Lan was reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't refuse on his face, and frowned: "It's okay to cook, can you stop tying me up, I have to cook three meals a day, you have to tie me up three times, untie me three times, you are not tired, I am still troublesome." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard her say this, he felt that it was too, anyway, with so many guards, she couldn't run.

After another two days, Qiao Yilong still didn't see anyone come to redeem Shen Lanxin, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, so he found the low cannon to confirm it, and the affirmative answer of the low cannon was indeed handed over to her family.

It stands to reason that it is impossible, is it really as she said, she has a bad relationship with her adoptive parents? Will you ransom her with money?

Qiao Yilong came to Shen Lanxin.

He said coldly: "Little girl, why didn't your family come to ransom you?" ”

Shen Lan glanced at him, "How do I know?" I've said I don't have a good relationship with them. ”

In fact, Shen Lanxin was also muttering, why no one came to redeem her for so many days.

"Then Lao Tzu didn't lose money in this transaction." Qiao Yilong was a little angry.

Lan Xin said disdainfully: "I said it at the beginning, but you don't believe me?" ”

Qiao Yilong snorted coldly: "Hmph, Lao Tzu never makes a loss-making business, since Lao Tzu can't get the silver, then you can do our laundry and cook here until I will let you out after a year." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, cooking was already very interesting, he actually had to inch in, let her wash the clothes of these bastards, she suddenly got angry, she let go, and shouted at him: "Hey, are you mistaken, I sold it to you?" You arrested me for illegal things, and asked me to do your laundry and cook, there is no door, my aunt and grandmother I don't do it, you want to kill or chop you up. ”

Qiao Yilong said angrily: "You eat my food and live in mine these days, why can't I let you do our laundry and cook for us?" Isn't food paid for? ”

Shen Lanxin was not to be outdone: "You are embarrassed to say, what did you let me eat, just a small bowl of rice, not even vegetables, you look at the place where I sleep, just a bunch of turf, as if I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, sleep on a high bed and soft pillows, I want to be embarrassed." ”

Qiao Yilong's face turned red: "Isn't rice money?" If you dare not do it, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will divide you among the brothers. ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily and glared at him viciously, looking very unconvinced.

Qiao Yilong said angrily: "What are you staring at me for? As he spoke, he drew the big knife behind him and shouted at her, "Hurry up and cook!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will chop you. ”

Shen Lanxin was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged away, "You have a kind, can't I do it?" ”

Shen Lanxin was most afraid of his knife, which was shiny and extremely sharp, for fear that he would accidentally slash her.

Shen Lanxin returned to the kitchen, chopping onions with tears in his eyes, not knowing whether he was choking on onions or worried that he would really stay here for a year.

However, it's strange to say, since my mother received the letter, why didn't she move? Did she forget or did she not receive the letter, but didn't the dwarf cannon say that it was personally handed over to my family, even if it was handed over to Fa Cai, Fa Cai would definitely be transferred to her mother, why didn't anyone come to ransom her for so many days?

Shen Lan thought about it, wouldn't it be that my mother really didn't care about me? No, my mother will definitely not ignore me, there must be some fork in the middle.

However, she didn't know that Luo was anxiously waiting for Shen Lanxin to come back at home, it had been several days, the medicinal materials had been received, and Shen Lanxin had not come back, Luo couldn't help but worry, I don't know if this girl was crazy and forgot to come back or something happened, Shen Huaifu was still in the palace and didn't come back, she was alone at home, she really didn't know what to do, at this time, she remembered to be alone, and had no choice but to trouble him again, so she called Cuicui to come to Qingwangfu with her.

By this time, it was already late at night.

I don't know if His Royal Highness King Qing has rested, she really doesn't want to disturb him, but if something happens to Lan Xin, this more moment will be more dangerous.

Roche came to the gate of the palace, and two guards were on duty.

"Stop, the palace is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to approach." She was stopped by the guards.

Luo Shi hurriedly said: "I'm here to find His Royal Highness King Qing!" ”

The guard said, "His Royal Highness King Qing has already rested, come back tomorrow." ”

Luo was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qing, His Royal Highness King Qing." ”

"Bold woman, dare to disturb the prince's rest." As he spoke, the two guards were about to blast her away.

Cuicui hurriedly helped Roche.

Ashin heard the sound and walked out, "Who is making noise here, I don't know if the prince has already slept?" ”

The guard bowed his hand to Ashin and said, "Damn it, it's a woman who wants to forcibly break into the house, saying that she wants to see the prince." ”

Ashin took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mrs. Shen.

Puzzled: "Woman Shen? Are you looking for something to do with the prince so late? ”

Roche asked, "Your name is Ashin, right?" ”

"yes."

Luo said anxiously: "That's the case, Lan Xin went to Tanzhou seven days ago, and she hasn't come back until now, I'm afraid that something will happen to her, so I came to find the prince." ”

"Miss Shen is missing?" When Ashin heard this, he hurriedly took Roche to see Gao Xu.

When Gao Xu heard this, he was shocked.

"It's been so many days, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Roche's expression became anxious: "At first, I thought she was playful, who knew it would be like this?" ”

"Originally, she told me that she would come back after paying the payment, even if she was greedy for fun, it would be a day or two, but she didn't come back for so many days, I'm really afraid that she will encounter any danger?"

Ashin reminded at this time: "Childe, could it be that you have met a bandit?" ”

"Bandits?" Gao Xu looked at Ashin incredulously.

Ah Xin said: "Recently, I heard that there is a group of bandits haunting the area of the Gorge Ridge, I wonder if they were caught?" ”

When he heard that it was a bandit, Luo was scared.

"Oh my God, those bandits will do all kinds of bad things for rape and plunder, if Lan Xin is taken away by the bandits, I am afraid that there will be more evil and less luck." He cried as he spoke.

Gao Xu hurriedly comforted: "Mrs. Shen, don't cry yet, have you received a blackmail letter from the thieves recently?" ”

Roche shook his head and said, "No." ”

Gao Xu said thoughtfully: "The thieves are asking for money, if they kidnap Lan Xin, they will definitely send a ransom letter, since you haven't received it, it also means that Lan Xin should not have been captured by the bandits." ”

When Roche heard him analyze this, he seemed to be relieved.

"And where will she go?"

Gao Xu asked again: "Mrs. Shen, what kind of clothes did Shen Lanxin wear?" ”

Roche thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be purple." ”

Listening to what Roche said, Gao Xu knew it in his heart.

"Ashin, go and prepare a horse for this king."

"Yes," Ashin hurriedly went to the backyard stable and pulled out a brown horse.

"Ashin, send Mrs. Shen back, and this king will go to Lan Xin." After saying that, he hurriedly turned over, got on his horse, and galloped away.

When he arrived in Tanzhou, Gao Xu knew that Shen Lanxin would definitely choose a nearby inn to stay, so he inquired about the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen a woman who is about so tall, wearing a purple dress, and seems to have a purple hairpin on her head?"

When the shopkeeper heard his description, he immediately remembered.

"Remember, she stayed here for two nights about a few days ago."

Gao Xu's expression lit up: "Then do you know where she went?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know about this?" But she checked out early the next morning and left, as if she was in a hurry. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Gao Xu left the inn, she must have gone back if she got up early and left, so she must have had an accident on the way, could it be that she really fell into the hands of the bandits?

Gao Xu couldn't help but be shocked, quickly got on his horse, and ran towards the gorge.

When I came to the Gorge, there was nothing around, and I didn't know where the den of those bandits was?

Gao Xu rode his horse, and just turned around in a radius of several miles, two or three times, but still didn't find anything, and at this moment, a carriage drove towards here.

Gao Xu rode his horse and stopped in the center.

When the coachman saw it, he thought that Gao Xu was a thief, so he hurriedly grabbed the reins, got off the carriage, knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, don't arrest me, I'm just a coachman." ”

Gao Xu said: "You don't have to panic, I'm not a bandit. ”

When the coachman heard that he was not a bandit, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Childe, there are often bandits here, so you better leave quickly."

Gao Xu asked, "Do you know where those bandits live?" ”

The coachman said: "It is said to be at the foot of Xiashui Mountain ten miles away, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Thank you." After speaking, Gao Xu ran towards the foot of Xiashui Mountain.

The morning passed like this, Shen Lan was tired with a sore back, fell asleep on the turf, he was dreaming, and was suddenly woken up by Qiao Yilong holding a gong in her ear.

"Alright, stop knocking! Sick of it. Shen Lanxin hurriedly covered his ears.

"Hurry up and cook!" Qiao Yilong urged.

Shen Lanxin was dissatisfied: "Eat and eat, you know how to eat, just like a pig, you can't eat a meal, can't you let me rest for a while?" The maid still has time to rest! ”

Qiao Yilong snorted coldly: "You owe me money now, and you are paying it back." ”

Shen Lan sneered: "Why don't you say that I still owe you my life, you just kill me." ”

After speaking, Shen Lanxin glared at him, got up and went to the kitchen.

After dinner, everyone was busy, and Shen Lanxin sat on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, she got up and came to Qiao Yilong's room and decided to negotiate with him, she couldn't just be passive all the time, she had to be anti-guest.

So she kicked open Qiao Yilong's door with a very imposing kick, and her action immediately startled Qiao Yilong, who was about to lie down and rest, but was so frightened that he jumped off the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Lanxin crossed his hands on his hips and said domineeringly: "I want to negotiate with you." ”

Qiao Yilong was puzzled: "Negotiation? What kind of judgment to talk about? ”

Shen Lanxin didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I'll just ask you, do you want people or money?" ”

Qiao Yilong said disdainfully: "Nonsense, of course it's money." ”

Shen Lan said in his heart: "Okay, you let me go, I'll go back and get it for you immediately." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, he sneered and said, "Let me let you go, you go back and get me the silver, what about you deceive a three-year-old child?" ”

Shen Lan's heart is serious. "I didn't lie to you, I can give you this note."

Qiao Yilong sneered: "Are you a fool when I Qiao Yilong is a fool?" ”

At this time, Gao Xu hijacked a thief into the village, Qiao Yihu found that someone broke in, so he pulled out the big knife behind him and shouted: "Who dares to break into my Dragon and Tiger Village?" ”

Saying that, the bandits in the stockade grabbed the big knives behind them one after another and surrounded Gao Xu.

"If you dare to come forward, I will let his head fall to the ground." Gao Xu held the dagger and pointed it at the thief's neck.

Qiao Yihu and the others did not dare to step forward.

Gao Xu asked, "Where is that girl?" ”

"Let my brother go, or I'll kill her right away." At this time, Qiao Yilong walked out of the room holding Shen Lanxin hostage.

"Gao Xu?" Shen Lan was surprised. "Why did he get here?"

Gao Xu saw that Lan Xin was really here.

"Xin'er, are you okay, did they hurt you?" At this moment, Gao Xu's face was full of worry.

"Am I alright?" Shen Lan said in his heart.

So Gao Xu pushed the bandit out. Immediately after that, several large knives were placed around his neck.

Seeing this, Shen Lan hurriedly said, "Don't hurt him." ”

Qiao Yilong shouted: "Hmph, you are not small, you dare to break into my Dragon and Tiger Village alone?" ”

Gao Xu's expression was indifferent, and he said disdainfully: "Don't say it's the Dragon and Tiger Village, even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I'll be right." ”

Qiao Yilong sneered: "It's quite a big tone!" Speaking of this, Qiao Yilong threw a pill at Gao Xu, "Eat it." ”

Gao Xu took it, glanced at it, and ate it without saying a word.

"Hey, don't eat it." Shen Lan didn't have time to stop it, and asked angrily: "Qiao Yilong, what did you give him?" ”

Qiao Yilong didn't respond to her, but said to Gao Xu: "Why don't you eat it without asking what it is?" ”

Gao Xu said lightly: "It's nothing more than poison, why bother asking." ”

Qiao Yilong snorted coldly: "Boy, you have the guts!" ”

Shen Lan asked again: "Let me ask you, what did you give him?" ”

Qiao Yilong looked at her and said, "You care about him so much, he must be the childhood sweetheart you said?" ”

Lan Xin: "......

Qiao Yilong laughed loudly.

"Don't worry, it's just a medicine that temporarily suppresses his internal strength, and he can't kill people." Speaking of this, he asked, "Have you brought the silver ticket?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Xu took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and threw them at him.

Qiao Yilong saw that there were only one thousand taels, and immediately said, "That's it?" It's obviously five thousand taels. ”

Gao Xu came out in a hurry and didn't bring that much money, so that's all there is to it.

Shen Lanxin was furious, "Qiao Yilong, don't go too far, a thousand taels is a lot, if you don't want it, you won't have a point." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, he was right, it was better than nothing, so he locked the two of them up first. ”

Both of them were tied hand and foot and locked in a dilapidated room, and Shen Lanxin couldn't help but blame him: "When did you become so stupid?" What if it's poison? ”

Gao Xu smiled: "Poison is not better, the person you hate the most died in front of you, you should be very happy." ”

Shen Lan saw that his expression was like there was no such thing, he didn't care at all, and he was immediately very angry.

"I'm not happy, who said I hate you anymore? It's all this time, and I'm still talking there about the wind and cold! ”

Gao Xu looked at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you always hate this king before?" ”

Shen Lan said disappreciatively: "You also said that it was before, and you beat me before!" Speaking of this, she lowered her head and bit her lip, "Actually, I was really worried about you just now. ”

"Really?" He asked softly.

Shen Lan was silent, just nodded.

Gao Xu was very happy and did not continue to say anything.

The two remained silent for a long time.

This black-faced god not only used the death-free gold medal to save her life, but today he actually didn't care about his own life in order to save her, in case she ate poison, wouldn't she have to feel guilty for the rest of her life, why did the damn black-faced god do this to her, causing her heart to boil.

After a while, Shen Lanxin spoke: "Actually, you can obviously choose to run, why do you have to stay?" ”

Gao Xu's expression was a little more gloomy, "Since I can't save you, it's good to stay here with you." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he suddenly looked at him, not knowing how to answer his words.

She suddenly lowered her head and said, "When did you become so stupid, you are a prince, I really don't deserve your life to risk your life to save me." ”

Gao Xu said lightly: "Whether it is worth it or not, this king knows very well in his heart." ”

Shen Lanxin didn't continue the topic, but asked in a different way: "Then how do you know that I was arrested by them?" Did my mother tell you? ”

Gao Xu said: "That's right. ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he smiled with relief. "I knew that my mother would not leave me alone, and she would definitely find a way to save me."

When Gao Xu heard this, he was immediately puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Lanxin was asked, "Didn't my mother tell you that I was caught by a thief and asked you to use money to ransom me?" ”

As soon as Shen Lanxin finished speaking, Gao Xu was even more confused. "You were caught by a bandit, and your mother didn't know about it."

Shen Lan didn't believe it.

"How so? They said that they handed over the letter to my family, and now the hospital is rich except for my mother. ”

Gao Xu looked suspicious, "But your mother said that she didn't receive the blackmail letter." ”

Shen Lanxin felt incredible, "Didn't receive it?" It's impossible, even if it's handed over to Fa Cai, Fa Cai will be handed over to my mother. ”

Gao Xu thought for a while: "Your mother, she doesn't need to lie to you. ”

Shen Lanxin said in a low voice: "Maybe it's really them who sent it wrong." ”

Shen Lanxin pondered for a moment, "Then how do you know that I was arrested by them?" ”

Gao Xu said: "This king went to Tanzhou to inquire in the inn where you lived, and they said that you left early in the morning, so this king concluded that you must have had an accident on the way back, and this king heard that there have been bandits in the area of the Gorge Ridge recently, so this king concluded that you must have been arrested by them." At this point, he looked at her, "Have they done anything to you these days?" ”

Shen Lanxin shook his head, "No, fortunately, there is a person I know here, I gave him a few buns that day, and he took care of him a little, I have a decent life, but I have to cook and wash clothes for them every day, otherwise, that Qiao Yilong will let me comfort his brothers, not only that, but also dangle his big knife in front of me all day long." ”

Gao Xu said angrily: "It really makes sense. ”

Shen Lanxin sighed, "Hey, it's okay now, both of us have been locked up." ”

Early the next morning, Shen Lanxin and Gao Xu were taken to Qiao Yilong's room.

Shen Lan saw in his heart that Qiao Yihu, the low cannon, and Fang Si were all here.

Qiao Yilong looked around Gao Xu and said, "Boy, you don't even want your life for the sake of your sweetheart, you can do it." ”

Gao Xu smiled faintly, looking proud.

Qiao Yilong looked at Shen Lanxin again and said, "You have a good eye." ”

"Cut, little white face." Qiao Yihu muttered.

Gao Xu glanced at Qiao Yihu and ignored him.

Shen Lan laughed dryly and didn't say anything.

Qiao Yilong kept walking back and forth in front of the two of them.

Shen Lanxin glanced at him, "Brother Long, didn't you say that you would let us go if you took the silver, you shouldn't be able to speak, right?" ”

Qiao Yilong smiled and said, "I will definitely count what I said, but ......." Halfway through his words, he stopped talking.

Shen Lan wondered, "But what?" ”
