"Xin'er?"

At this time, someone called out to her, and when the three of them heard it, it turned out to be Gao Xu.

"You make it easy for this king to find." As he spoke, he took Shen Lanxin's hand.

Shen Lan looked at him incredulously.

Gao Qian saw the two holding hands, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart.

Su He was also surprised, she didn't expect Shen Lanxin to be with King Qing, but this was exactly what she wanted, and Gao Qian broke off his thoughts about her.

Gao Xu said lightly: "I just heard that the third brother and the third sister-in-law want to be a matchmaker for Xin'er, this king thanks the third brother and the third sister-in-law for their kindness, but Xin'er's lifelong events are not your turn to worry about." ”

Su He smiled slightly: "Fifth brother, this palace is also kind, if this palace knows about your relationship with Lan Xin, how can this palace be so idle?" If the palace has that idleness, it is better to raise the fetus with peace of mind. ”

Gao Xu's expression was calm and he smiled: "What the third sister-in-law said is very true, since you now know the relationship between this king and Xin'er, then please don't have any ideas on Xin'er in the future?" ”

Soho smiled lightly, "That's natural, and this palace also hopes to be able to drink the fifth brother's wedding wine as soon as possible." ”

Gao Xu said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law has been radiant recently, this pregnant person is different, the third brother, the third sister-in-law is pregnant with royal blood, what this pregnant woman needs most is the companionship and care of her husband." After speaking, he glanced at Gao Qian.

Gao Xu's words were meaningful.

Gao Qian's expression was faint, and he said indifferently: "Don't worry about this fifth brother, let's go." After saying that, he helped Soho and left from Gao Xu's side.

After Gao Xu saw the two of them leaving, he snorted lightly: "Pretend," after speaking, he looked at Shen Lanxin again, and said with a concerned face: "Are you okay?" ”

Shen Lan smiled wryly, "It's okay." He withdrew his hand from his hand as he spoke.

Gao Xu smiled at him and didn't say anything more.

The two looked at each other, just looked at each other, and finally Shen Lan couldn't stand it a little, so he lowered his head, I don't know when his eyes became so burning, she suddenly blushed, and she felt that the atmosphere was ten times more embarrassing than just now.

Thinking to himself, I have to go back to pack up my things and prepare to go to Tanzhou tomorrow, I can't delay time here anymore, Lan Xin cleared his throat and didn't dare to look up: "That, I still have something to do, I'll go first." After saying that, she hurriedly left, and as she walked, she trotted up, covering her face as she ran, and muttered to herself, "What's the matter?" How could it be so embarrassing! ”

Gao Xu turned to look at her and smiled faintly.

Before dawn, Shen Lan went on the road alone with a burden on her back, originally she wanted to hire a carriage, but she thought that with such a silver ticket on her body, the carriage was too public, in case she ran into robbers, wouldn't it be very dangerous! That's why I chose to walk to Tanzhou, if you don't rest, you can get to Tanzhou in less than a child.

She quickened her pace, and it soon got dark, and she had already entered the boundary of Tanzhou at this time, and at this time, there was an old man driving a donkey cart "Da Da Da" driving over.

Shen Lanxin saw it, so he stopped the old man and said, "Uncle, are you going to Tanzhou?" ”

The old man "shouted" and took the reins.

"yes."

When Shen Lan heard this, he was overjoyed!

"Uncle, can you give me a ride? I'll give you the money! ”

The old man smiled: "The little girl is polite, it's just a matter of stopping by, come up quickly." ”

Shen Lanxin hurriedly got into the donkey cart, no matter how fast she walked, it would take less than two and a half hours to get to Tanzhou City.

She sat on the donkey cart and fell asleep like this, and it was already dark in Tanzhou.

"Girl, girl?" The old man patted her.

Shen Lanxin rubbed his eyes and woke up.

"Tanzhou has arrived." Old Uncle Dao.

"Ah, here?" Shen Lanxin hurriedly got off the donkey cart, thanked the old man and found an inn to live in.

The next day, Shen Lanxin came to Fu's firm, and as soon as he entered the door, Shen Lanxin recognized Boss Fu.

"Uncle Fu." Shen Lanxin shouted with a smile.

Boss Du looked up, saw that it was Shen Lanxin, hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and stepped forward to greet him: "Yo, it's Lanxin, why are you here?" Didn't your dad come with you? He said this and looked behind her.

Shen Lan said with a smile: "My father can't come because of something temporary." ”

Boss Fu smiled: "What's the big deal, I don't have time to drink with my brother?" ”

Sheng Lanxin stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My father was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to see the queen mother, so he let me come." ”

When Boss Fu heard this, "Yo, it's really a big deal." ”

Shen Lanxin joked: "How good is this, you saved a meal of wine!" ”

Boss Fu laughed.

"Do you think Uncle Fu looks like a stingy person? I also heard in Tanzhou, the emperor gave you a gold medal plaque for the Shen family, how about the business of the medical hall is not bad, right? ”

Shen Lanxin nodded, "Well, since the emperor gave the plaque, there have indeed been a lot more people in the medical hall." ”

Boss Du smiled and nodded, "That's good, I've prepared the medicinal materials for you, and I'm ready to go at any time."

"Thank you, Uncle Fu, this is the payment, you click on it." Shen Lanxin gave the silver ticket to Boss Fu.

Boss Fu took the silver ticket and roughly counted it, "That's right, it's just right, so when are you going to ask for it?" ”

Shen Lan said in his heart: "Right now, the sooner the better." ”

Boss Fu said: "Okay, no problem, I'll tell them to leave immediately." ”

Shen Lanxin said goodbye to Boss Fu and went to Qian's firm and Baicaotang respectively, and after paying for the goods, she went shopping for the rest of the time, she planned to play here for a day and go back early tomorrow morning.

Shen Lanxin came to the street and bought some rouge gouache and some local specialty snacks.

After an afternoon of wandering, she was hungry, so she went back to the inn, asked for two plates of side dishes, and ate there.

As he ate, he heard two men chatting next to him.

Male A: "Have you heard?" The Gap has been infested with bandits recently? ”

Male B: "Bandits? ”

When Shen Lan heard this, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this gorge was not another place, it was the place she had to pass through to go back.

Male A: "Yes, a lot of people have been robbed. I heard that they committed adultery and plundered everything! ”

Male B: "These bandits are really bold, didn't the government send someone to arrest them?" ”

Male A: "Hey, I heard that those bandits often fight guerrilla warfare with the government, but they can't be caught at all?" ”

Male B: "It seems that you must be more careful when you go out in the future!" ”

Shen Lan thought to himself, those bandits can do anything, in case they are robbed by the bandits, then they will ...... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be a little scared, it seems that it would be better to hurry early tomorrow.

Early the next day, Shen Lan hurriedly went on the road with her burden, she walked all over the sweat, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, it was noon, she stopped, there was still more than an hour from the gorge, she wiped her sweat, took a breath and continued to hurry.

There is a gorge in front of her, Shen Lan walked with trepidation, the breeze rustled the leaves on both sides, Lan Xin's heart was in a tense state, she swept her eyes around, for fear that the bandits would come out at this time, but after walking for a long time, they were fine.

Seeing that she was about to walk out of the gorge, just as she was rejoicing, suddenly four big men rushed out of the woods with big knives and surrounded her.

was so frightened that Shen Lan's heart turned over.

"Who are you? What are you going to do? Shen Lanxin's voice trembled a little.

At this moment, a man behind her immediately knocked her unconscious, picked her up and walked towards a stockade five miles away.

In the room.

A man about thirty-five years old, wearing a cloak, with a burly figure and a rough appearance, sat in the middle of the stockade with a black face, looking very angry, this person was the leader of the bandits, Qiao Yilong.

In front of him, there were the four people who stood next to him and grabbed Shen Lanxin.

Qiao Yilong reprimanded: "You stupid people, what are you doing when you catch a girl and come back?" ”

"Boss, we thought she had money on her, but we didn't know that this burden was full of things for women." The one who spoke was a dwarf, called a dwarf.

Qiao Yilong frowned and looked at the burden in his hand, and said, "Take it." ”

The low cannon stepped forward and put the burden next to him, Qiao Yilong saw that it was either rouge gouache or dried fruit preserves, and then a piece of clothing, he flipped through it, and accidentally saw a bill, he opened it and saw that it was a bill for the purchase of medicinal materials, and the signature at the beginning was Shen Huaifu.

"Shen Huaifu?" Qiao Yilong muttered to himself.

"Big brother, why don't you let her go?" One of the men said.

"Put? You've got water in your head, right? "This is Qiao Yilong's younger brother Qiao Yihu, with dark skin and a slightly thin figure.

Qiao Yilong slapped the table and said angrily: "Fart, can you still put it when you catch it?" ”

That man's name was Fang Si, and he joined in later, Qiao Yilong had a life-saving grace for him, and then stayed by his side.

As soon as Fang Si heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Qiao Yilong got up and came to the place where Shen Lan's heart was closed.

Shen Lanxin's hands and feet were tied, and he fell on the edge of the wall before he woke up.

Qiao Yilong, Qiao Yihu, and the low cannon were pulling their necks and staring intently at Shen Lanxin.

"Big brother, why isn't she awake yet?" The bomb asked.

"Did I shoot too hard and kill her?" Saying that, Qiao Yihu probed her snort, "It's okay, there's still gas." ”

At this time, Shen Lan's heart woke up, she hissed, and felt a little pain in the back of her neck.

"Wake up, wake up." The cannon muttered.

Shen Lanxin opened her eyes when she heard someone speak, this time it was better not to open it, and she was immediately frightened, and three big men with unshaven beards stared at her.

Shen Lan instinctively wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide behind the wall, and then he found that he was tied up.

"You ...... Who are you? Shen Lan knew that they were bandits, but he couldn't help but ask.

"We? We are bandits! Bandits who specialize in robbing money, hum, I'm afraid! "The cannon scared her.

It's really a bandit, she really met a bandit, how can her luck be so good. Shen Lan's heart suddenly panicked.

"Big brothers, it's useless for you to arrest me, I don't have any money on me."

At this time, Qiao Yilong smiled and said, "I know you don't have any money." ”

Shen Lan laughed dryly. "It's still this big brother who understands things, I'm just an ordinary person, if I had money, I would have taken the carriage a long time ago, so why walk."

Qiao Yilong's smile remained unchanged, "Then what is this?" Saying that, Qiao Yilong took out the bill she purchased, which clearly said Shen Huaifu.

Shen Lan's expression froze, he suffered, how could he still see the bill, he knew that it was good to hide it in his shoes.

Shen Lanxin consciously helped out, so he pushed the boat down the river, that's right, I am from the Shen Family Medical Center, but I am doing chores there.

Qiao Yilong suddenly got up and picked up the big knife behind him and rested it on her neck, and said in a raised voice: "Don't tell the truth, do you?" ”

The cold knife against her neck instantly made her break out in a cold sweat.

Busy said: "Don't don't, I said, I said." ”

"Say it quickly, don't talk about stripping you naked." Qiao Yihu frightened.

Shen Lanxin was frightened into a cold sweat, "Don't be, in fact, Shen Huaifu and his wife are my adoptive parents, and I am not their biological parents." ”

When Qiao Yilong heard this, he hurriedly asked Qiao Yihu to write a blackmail letter, and Qiao Yihu handed it over to Qiao Yilong after writing it.

"Big brother, you have a look."

Qiao Yilong read it out: "Your daughter was arrested by our Dragon and Tiger Gang, quickly bring 5,000 taels of silver to save people, and you are not allowed to report to the official, otherwise you will wait to collect the body." ”

Shen Lan heard it in his heart, five thousand taels? I couldn't help but feel a beat in my heart, these bandits were really robbing, and hurriedly said: "This eldest brother, I don't have a good relationship with my adoptive parents, they won't take so much money to save me, I don't think there is any need to write this letter." ”

Qiao Yilong scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, how do you know if he won't come to save you if you don't write?" With that, he took off her sachet and put it in an envelope.

"Low cannon, you go to deliver the letter, and you must hand it over to her family."

"Yes, I'll go." After saying that, the low cannon took the letter and left.

Qiao Yilong put away the big knife, squatted in front of her again, patted her little face and said, "You just stay here obediently, don't think about escaping, my dozens of brothers haven't opened meat for months." ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he naturally knew what he meant, so he nodded again and again in fright.

Qiao Yilong got up and walked towards your own room, shouting as he walked: "Show her to me, don't let her run away." ”

In the evening, Qiao Yihu came to Qiao Yilong's room.

"Big brother, I think that girl is very good-looking, can you ...... Before he finished speaking, he exhaled with a big mouth with a "pop".

Qiao Yihu's eyes suddenly burst into stars, and he turned around in place several times.

Qiao Yilong said sharply: "There is also a way to steal, we want money, let me tell you, don't break the gang rules, when you get the money, you can play how you like to go to Qinglou, I won't care about you." ”

Qiao Yihu rubbed half of his face.

said with a look of grievance: "Big brother, you misunderstood, I mean, can you mention it to that girl, I want to marry her as a wife." ”

"Be a wife?" Qiao Yilong said incredulously.

Qiao Yihu grinned, forgetting the pain for a while, "Yes, the kind that Ming Media is marrying." ”

"Ming Media is getting married?" Qiao Yilong muttered to himself.

He paced back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'm the person who loves adult beauty the most, if she wants to marry you, the eldest brother has no opinion, but I'm sleepy now, let's talk about this tomorrow, you go back first." ”

When Qiao Yihu heard this, he was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xie." ”

In the middle of the night, when the brothers were all sleeping, only a few bandits were guarding outside, when a gentle footstep walked towards Shen Lanxin.

Shen Lanxin leaned against the wall, and she didn't sleep, and she couldn't sleep in this case, in case the thieves caught her on a whim and was the lady of the village, then she would have the heart to die.

"Girl." Someone called her softly.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the person in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she had seen it somewhere.

"What are you going to do?" She couldn't help but be vigilant.

Fang Si said softly, "The girl doesn't know me anymore? ”

"...... you?" Although Shen Lanxin felt familiar, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Fang Si said with a smile: "Girl, I forgot, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, you once gave a beggar a few buns, but do you still have an impression?" ”

When he mentioned this, Shen Lanxin suddenly remembered, it was really him, no wonder he felt so familiar.

She was slightly surprised, "Why did you become a bandit?" ”

Fang Si sighed lightly: "If there is a way out, who will be a bandit?" ”

"Actually, I recognized you when they arrested you back, but don't be afraid, girl, although this Dragon and Tiger Gang is a den of thieves, but never do anything to insult women, they are actually righteous people, they give most of the money they robbed to those poor people, this boss is very upright, but he is short-tempered, they are just for money, as long as they receive the silver, they will let you go, so as long as you don't anger him, you will be fine."

Hearing him say this, Shen Lan's tense heart also relaxed a lot.

Early the next morning, Qiao Yilong ordered someone to take Shen Lanxin to his room and untie her.

Qiao Yilong sat on the chair, one leg on the chair, and one hand on his leg.

There was another person standing in the room, Qiao Yihu.

Shen Lan was very puzzled when he saw Qiao Yihu smiling at her happily.

Qiao Yilong looked her up and down and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the eldest brother, my name is Shen Lanxin." She remembered Fang Si's advice, be humble and polite, and try not to anger him.

Qiao Yilong said: "Miss Shen Lanxin, I called you here today because I want to ask for your opinion!" ”

Shen Lan was puzzled in his heart, thinking that there was anything that needed to be asked for her opinion? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "What does the eldest brother want to ask?" But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

At this time, Qiao Yilong stood up, took his hands, came to her and said, "That's the case, my younger brother Qiao Yihu has taken a fancy to you, and wants Ming Media to marry you as his wife, are you willing?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lan's heart almost squirted another mouthful of old blood.

You toad wants to eat swan meat, and you don't pee according to your own virtues! It's really a shame. ”

Of course, these words were from her heart, and she did not say them.

But just such a direct refusal, wouldn't it hurt people's face, in the end he said that Ming Media is marrying four words, which is still a bit of face, but if he is annoyed and angry, he can't eat and walk around.

She held back for a long time, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Thank you Brother Yihu for appreciation, it's just that I already have a sweetheart, we have a very good relationship since childhood, and we will get married soon, so the little woman has lived up to your good intentions."

After Shen Lanxin finished speaking, he stared at the expressions of Qiao Yilong and Qiao Yihu, for fear that the two of them would be angry.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yilong didn't have any expression, but Qiao Yihu suddenly felt like he was going to cry.

Qiao Yilong scratched his temples a few times, feeling a little embarrassed, so he sighed lightly: "Since you already have a sweetheart, just say nothing about me." He turned around and looked at Qiao Yihu again.

"Yihu, you should die too."

"Big brother? …… Qiao Yihu seemed unwilling.

Since people didn't agree, Qiao Yilong didn't want to say more, "Okay, a gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people." After speaking, he ordered someone to tie Shen Lanxin and take him back.

Qiao Yihu was very frustrated.

Qiao Yilong glanced at his wretched appearance, and he didn't get angry.

Waving his hand, as if chasing flies, "Look at your useless appearance, you, you, hurry out, I'm too lazy to look at you." ”

Qiao Yihu didn't know what to mutter, so he went out angrily.

At this time, the low cannon had just finished inquiring about the location of the Shen Family Medical Hall with the letter, and was heading there, when at this moment, he happened to accidentally bump into a person and knocked his letter off.

"I said you, are you blind, hit our young lady, if you are broken, be careful of your head." Dongmei had to scold the dwarf cannon with her head and face.

The dwarf cannon hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he crouched down and picked up the letter on the ground.

Su He saw that the sachet that fell out was Shen Lanxin's, and then looked at the unsightly low cannon in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get this sachet?" ”

"Why do you ask this? Do you know this sachet? The cannon looked at Soho.

Soho said with a cold expression: "This sachet is my sister's thing, I don't know how it is here with you?" ”

"Sister?" When the dwarf cannon heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Are you saying that the owner of this sachet is your sister, and Shen Huaifu of the Shen Family Medical Center is your father?" ”

His question blinded Soho, and she was about to open her mouth to say something, but she was interrupted by the cannon.

"Great, I've been entrusted with this letter." After saying that, Dwarf Bean handed the letter to Soho and ran away in a hurry.

Soho looked suspicious, and before she could stop him, the low cannon had already run away, and she opened the letter suspiciously.

"Your daughter was arrested by our Dragon and Tiger Gang, quickly bring five thousand taels of silver to save people, and you are not allowed to report to the official, otherwise you will wait to collect the body."

After reading it, Soho's expression changed.

This is a ransom letter, could it be that Lan Xin was caught by a thief? Soho couldn't help but feel shocked.

She looked at the letter, thoughtfully, and thought to herself, those bandits raped and plundered all kinds of evil, Shen Lan's heart fell into their hands, it must be more than lucky, even if she saved her life, her chastity would not be guaranteed, so wouldn't she become a ruined flower and a willow.

Su Ho calmed down, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, God really helped her, she didn't expect this letter to fall into her hands inexplicably.

Gao Qian, haven't you always had a soft spot for her? If she was ruined by those bandits, I don't think you would like her? Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness crossed Su Ho's eyes, and she quietly destroyed the letter, and threw Shen Lanxin's sachet into the river.

When it was time for dinner, everyone was eating, only Shen Lanxin was still hungry.

It's been a day when no one cares about her, her stomach is grunting with hunger, you are all eating there, no matter whether your aunt is alive or dead, let your aunt and grandmother go hungry, and your aunt and grandmother are hostages.

If you wait for your aunt and grandmother to escape, you have to bring someone to take you here, but it seems that she can't escape, she is a hostage, and eighty eyes are staring at her, and not even a mosquito can get out.

Shen Lanxin kept muttering.

At this time, Fang Si walked over with a bowl of rice, "Hurry up and eat." ”

Shen Lanxin took it with a smile, "Thank you, Fang Si, to be honest, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, why can't you choose to be a bandit." ”

Fang Si had a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and sighed lightly: "How can I want to be a bandit, it's just that the boss has a life-saving grace for me." ”

Shen Lan was surprised and said, "The grace of saving lives? Will bandits still save people? She couldn't believe it.

Fang Si chuckled and said: "There are also good people in the bandits, I was faint on the road that day, I happened to meet Qiao Yilong who came down the mountain and rescued me, and then brought me here, I thought to myself that there was nowhere to go anyway, so I stayed here." ”

Shen Lanxin asked while eating: "Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life, robbing money is illegal after all, don't you think about your future?" ”

Fang Si thought for a moment and didn't speak, then Qiao Yilong walked in.

"Hasn't the dwarf been back yet?"

When Fang Si saw Qiao Yilong coming, he walked over, shook his head and said, "Not yet?" It stands to reason that he should have been able to deliver the letter to her family early this morning.
