Chapter Seventy-Four: A False Alarm

The prefectural lord immediately ordered someone to inform the kitchen to prepare wine and food.

In a short time the maidservants came into the room with all kinds of dishes and wines, and after they had put them on the wooden table, they all slowly withdrew.

The county lord then said to Wanqing:

"Young Master Wan, please, it's not a tribute for the official to prepare a little wine and food, and I ask you to eat some of it."

Wan Qing got up and walked to the wooden table and sat down, looking at the wine and food on this table, he said with a happy face:

"Don't say too much about the polite words of the county lord, come, let's have a few drinks together."

The county lord then also walked to the wooden table and sat down, he picked up the wine jug and poured some wine into the wine glass in front of Wan Qing's table, and then poured some wine into his own wine glass.

The county lord put down the wine jug, picked up the wine glass and toasted to Wanqing:

"Come, Young Master Wan, please cheers."

Wan Qing immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and said:

"."

The two of them then brought the wine glass to their lips and drank it all.

Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng followed the two guards under the county lord to an inn in the nearby neighborhood.

The two guards settled the room for Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng, and then went back to the house.

Qin Meiniang sat in the room of the inn and said to Liu Feng, who was standing on the side:

"Liu Feng, you say, what does Wan Qing mean by the sudden visit to the county lord's mansion at this juncture?"

Liu Feng couldn't help but be stunned, full of puzzlement:

"This, I can't say it, this Wan Qing is insidious and cunning, it is estimated that his sudden visit to the county lord's mansion is definitely not for any good thing, it is estimated that it has something to do with you."

Qin Meiniang pondered for a moment and said:

"This Wan Qing has obviously agreed to the request of the county lord, and he suddenly came to visit the county lord at this time, I am afraid that he will suddenly change his hexagram, then the entire plan we carefully designed will be all in vain, this is really urgent."

Liu Feng said seriously:

"Well, there is this possibility, if Wan Qing suddenly comes to the county lord, and he suddenly changes his mind, then it will be troublesome, and the whole strategy will be disrupted."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but be entangled, "This Wanqing is really difficult to deal with!" That's a lot of ideas! ”

Liu Feng then said:

"Mei Niang, otherwise, let's leave now, hurry to the inn on the outskirts of the city, we will leave Kyoto with our family when we get there, we can't play Wanqing, and we can't hide!"

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but be stunned, a little embarrassed, and said:

"However, things have come to this juncture, besides, we are not very clear and conclude that Wan Qing has really changed his mind, if he leaves quietly without permission, this is a little inappropriate."

Liu Feng said anxiously:

"It is precisely because the situation has changed now that I can't watch you fall into an unfavorable situation, in case that Wan Qing really changes, then it will be meaningless for us to stay, and the more we stay, the greater the danger, in my opinion, let's leave now, there is nothing wrong with this, we are also benevolent and righteous to the county lord, after all, if he doesn't send someone to arrest you, then these things won't happen, and the current situation is becoming more and more critical, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to leave later."

Qin Meiniang gasped and said calmly:

"No, now Wan Qing has really changed his mind, we still don't know anything about this, we can't just leave quietly, even if we really want to leave, then we have to wait for the accurate news, let's go, if we leave without permission now, this is really disrespectful, after all, the county adults are still good to us, and they didn't directly take me to Wan Qing to exchange for his wife and children, so, I won't leave now, and I'll make plans after the matter is clear, Liu Feng, I know you will support my opinion, Right? ”

Liu Feng looked at Qin Meiniang, although he was very entangled in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey her wishes, he let out a long breath and said:

"Alright! Since you said that it was a little inappropriate for us to leave now, then I will listen to you, in fact, I am only worried about you, so I thought that I could take you out of this dangerous place as soon as possible. ”

Qin Meiniang smiled at Liu Feng and said:

"I know, I know you're for my good, but it's really inappropriate for us to leave quietly now, we still have to be reasonable when we live, if we get accurate information, Wan Qing won't go to the woods on the outskirts of the city tomorrow to make a deal, then let's say goodbye to the county adults and leave immediately, and never stay longer."

Liu Feng nodded and said:

"Okay, then let's wait for the news, maybe we think too much, maybe someone from the county lord will come to tell us in a while that Wan Qing just happened to pass by the county lord's mansion and went into the mansion to sit down."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but smile slightly, "It's not bad that you can think like this." ”

Liu Feng said seriously:

"Now we can only think about it like this, if it comes true, it will be good for us."

The sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that it was almost night.

Wan Qing saw that the guards under the county lord had not yet come to report the news that Qin Meiniang had been brought back to the house, and he couldn't sit still.

The oil lamp on the wooden table on one side was burning vigorously, emitting bursts of fire.

Seeing this, the county lord immediately said:

"Young Master Wan, you see that it's getting late, otherwise, you can go back to the house first, Qin Meiniang has been caught by my guards, she can't escape, you can rest assured! After my guards bring Qin Meiniang back tonight, I will take her to the woods on the outskirts of the city early tomorrow morning to wait for you, and then ask Young Master Wan to bring my wife and children, and return them to me. ”

Wan Qing was stunned, got up and said:

"That's it! I've been waiting here in your house for so long, and I haven't seen Qin Meiniang back, and I don't bother to wait any longer, I have to rush back to the house, I'll go back to the house, but you have to remember that you must lock up Qin Meiniang, don't let her escape or let people rob her, if I can't see Qin Meiniang in the woods on the outskirts of the city tomorrow afternoon, then you will see with your own eyes how Young Master Ben bullied your wife and children. ”

The county lord immediately hugged his fists and said:

"Young Master Wan, you can rest assured, this official doesn't dare to be careless, he will definitely send Qin Meiniang to you at noon tomorrow."

Wan Qing nodded and said:

"Okay, since that's the case, then the young master will go back to the house."

The county lord also immediately stepped forward and said:

"Cheng, then the official will personally send Young Master Wan out of the mansion."

The county lord sent Wan Qing outside the mansion, and after watching Wan Qing get on the sedan chair and leave, his heart gradually calmed down.

The county lord immediately called the guards, and then went to the inn to find Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng, and asked the two of them to hurry back to the house.

The two guards immediately dressed up again and went to the inn where Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng were.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the inn, and Qin Meiniang and Liu Feng's faces suddenly became nervous.

Liu Feng then slowly approached the door, rushed out of the door and asked:

"Who's knocking on the door?"

One of the guards standing at the door then whispered:

"Liu Shaoxia, please open the door, we are our own people."

As soon as Liu Feng heard this, he slowly opened the door, and looked at the two disguised guards standing at the door, and then he said with confidence:

"It's you, please come in."

After finishing speaking, the two guards immediately walked into the room, and Liu Feng closed the door with his hand.

Qin Meiniang saw that it was the two guards who had sent her and Liu Feng to the inn in disguise, and she immediately asked:

"How? What's going on in the county lord's mansion now? Is Wan Qing gone now? ”

A guard then replied to Qin Meiniang:

"Miss Qin, Young Master Wan has already left, my lord specially ordered us to come to pick you and Liu Shaoxia, now it's okay, you two go back to the house with us, the lord said, it's not safe to live in the inn outside here."

Qin Meiniang then nodded and said:

"Okay, then we'll leave right away."

Qin Meiniang immediately said to Liu Feng:

"Liu Feng, then let's go back to the county lord's mansion."

Liu Feng was stunned, grabbed a guard, and forced:

"Did Wan Qing really leave the county lord's house, are the county lords and Wan Qing playing some tricks, so that the two of you come to trick us back, they can arrest the two of us, isn't it?"

The guard was also suddenly frightened and trembled:

"Liu Shaoxia is angry, please stop being angry! Young Master Wan has really left the Adult's Mansion, and the Adult sent us to pick you two back to the Mansion, and the Adult is worried that it will not be safe for you to live in this inn outside, so he specially sent us to pick you up. ”

Seeing this, Qin Meiniang immediately said to Liu Feng:

"Liu Feng, what are you doing! Didn't he make it clear! Wan Qing has already left, and it was the adults who asked them to pick us up, you let go, don't be rude. ”

Liu Feng was stunned, slowly let go of the guards he was holding, and said seriously:

"I'm sorry, this person who is out of the house, it's better to be careful, it's a lot of offense."

The guard said:

"It's okay, then let's go back to the house! It's getting late, so let's not delay. ”

After speaking, several people immediately opened the door and strode out.

After leaving the inn, several people walked quickly to the county lord's house.

Back at the county lord's house, Qin Meiniang immediately asked him:

"My lord, what's going on today? Why did Wan Qing suddenly come to the mansion, and what was the purpose of his coming to your mansion? Will it affect tomorrow's plans? ”

The county lord let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Oh, this Wan Qing came to my house today, in fact, he wanted to change his mind, he wanted to come to my house and wait for you to be arrested, and then, he took you back to his house overnight, he waited until ten minutes after dark, and never saw that he had not arrested you back, so he went back to his house full of despair, and it has no impact on our plans tomorrow, so you can rest assured, there will be no accidents."

Liu Feng then said:

"This Wan Qing really has a lot of ideas, I really can't imagine if he will play any tricks tomorrow."

The county lord said seriously:

"Liu Shaoxia, please rest assured, Wan Qing will definitely go to the woods on the outskirts of the city at noon tomorrow, he is infatuated with Miss Qin, isn't there an old saying, since ancient times, heroes have been sad and no one has passed, this Wan Qing is a man, naturally it will not be an exception, tomorrow, Wan Qing will definitely not end well."
