41. Selfish and cold
As soon as Fu Ming heard this, he immediately understood that the identity of this person was not only a little not simple, I am afraid that he was a person from the capital, and it was not too simple for such a person to deal with him as the richest man in a small town! So he suddenly became honest, and he didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything he knew.
It turned out that he had long known that a group of thieves were eyeing him, as for the reason, he vaguely said that it was because of his own business problems, once he collided with the other party, and the other party threatened to make him look good, and then he strengthened his vigilance when he returned home, but his daughter didn't like to follow a group of people on the street, he loved his daughter very much, so he found a bodyguard who was said to be very powerful in martial arts to protect her secretly, but who would have thought that this person was so useless, his daughter's kung fu on the street was taken away, and even the bodyguard didn't know where to go at this time.
For the part that Fu Ming deliberately blurred, Huo Jinyan did not pursue it for the time being, and now the most important thing is to rescue Tang Xi, and other things can be left aside for the time being, so he put down the long sword in his hand, "Do you know the whereabouts of that gang of bandits?" ”
"Of course I know, but this ...... This son, that gang of bandits is very famous in this area, and they are stationed on Eagle's Beak Mountain, where the terrain is dangerous, and there are many of them, so the local officials have always been unable to ...... them," he said with a fierce sigh and a sad face, "So if you want to forcibly save people, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
Huo Jinyan's eyes sank, and after a while, he instructed Lord Zhao, "Send someone to inform the prefect immediately and ask him to send someone to support, I will attack Eagle's Beak Mountain." ”
"Master......" Ying wanted to speak and stopped, if he alarmed Lord Zhao, he could hide it, if he alarmed the prefect again, the whereabouts of their group would be completely exposed, then if the purpose of this visit was to be completed, I am afraid it would take a lot of effort.
Huo Jinyan glanced at Ying Yi and didn't speak, but only added another sentence to Lord Zhao, "Let them come as quickly as possible, if something goes wrong with the person I want to save, you have no one to take care of." The last sentence was that he deliberately led them to think that Tang Xi's identity was not simple, if not, I am afraid they would not do their best.
Sure enough, Lord Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't the identity of this kidnapped woman simple? Could it be that he is a relative of the emperor? Thinking about it like this, he was even more worried, so without saying a word, he immediately repaired the book and sent it to the prefect Yin's house.
And Tang Xi's side, when she woke up in a daze, it was already dark outside, she looked at the completely unfamiliar environment and was slightly stunned for a moment, and then the memory returned, and she remembered that she was saving people but put herself in.
She moved her hands and feet, and found that she was tied tightly, and the place she was in looked like it should be a firewood room, and she tried to move the angle, and saw the young lady behind her who had woken up, and her maid and the boy were also tied and thrown next to the two, but they hadn't woken up yet.
The woman heard the sound and looked up and found that Tang Xi had woken up, so she squeezed out a smile, "You're awake." ”
Tang Xi nodded, "I don't know who the girl is?" Why did the other party arrest you? ”
The woman shook her head sadly when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "I don't know who they are, and I don't know why they arrested me, I was here when I woke up, and only someone brought food over just now, but that person had a very fierce attitude and didn't answer my question at all." Her lips were a little pale, and she looked very scared, so she paused and asked Tang Xi, "What about you, girl?" And why was he arrested? ”
Tang Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "At that time, I wanted to save you when I heard your cry for help, but I didn't want to be arrested together." ”
The woman looked stunned when she heard this, and then said apologetically, "I didn't expect me to burden you, I'm really sorry." ”
Tang Xi shook his head and smiled at her soothingly, "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to work together to save ourselves." As she spoke, she introduced herself, "My name is Tang Xi, what about you?" What do you call it? ”
"My name is Fu Jinglan."
The two were introducing themselves, and the young man on the side suddenly snorted, and then opened his eyes blankly.
Because of his position, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Tang Xi, and he frowned, "It's you?" As he spoke, he wanted to get up, but when he moved, he fell back because of his unbalanced body, and he screamed out, and then he found that he was tied up like a dumpling......
"What's going on?" He asked, surprised.
Facing this young man, Tang Xi was a little weak-hearted, after all, it was she who made a mistake in the situation and the two of them were caught here together, so she showed him a friendly smile, "You finally woke up, hehe, what, we seem to have been tied up by someone together......"
"Tied up?" The young man screamed in surprise, and then saw Fu Jinglan who had not spoken on the side, so he said in a daze, "Beauty, you are also tied up?" After saying that, he couldn't help frowning, and gritted his teeth casually, "Damn!" Master is actually planted on such a simple task! As he spoke, he struggled to remember why he had fainted......
Tang Xi saw that he was frowning his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something, his brows jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly interrupted, "Cough, it's fate that we are locked up together, just now the two of us have introduced ourselves, my name is Tang Xi, and her name is ......."
"Fu Jinglan." The young man rolled his eyes and picked up the conversation, and then coolly threw out three words, "Shangguan Yu." ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was introducing himself, and then Fu Jinglan frowned and looked at Shangguan Yu vigilantly and asked, "How do you know my name?" ”
Seeing her like this, Shangguan Yu suddenly lost his breath and said, "You still ask me how I know?" It wasn't your father who sent me to protect you! ”
Tang Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered the sentence he just said, "planted on such a simple task", so he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" Do you know something? ”
Shangguan Yu had already struggled to sit up at this time, and said impatiently when he heard Tang Xi's question, "What else can happen?" It's Fu Jinglan and her father Fu Ming knows that there may be people who are not good for his family recently, but this Miss Fu usually doesn't like too many people to follow, let's say it, her father is afraid of scaring her, so he asked me to protect her in secret. ”
Speaking of this, Shangguan Yu thought of his current situation again, so he scolded in a low voice, "Who would have thought that my master, my famous name, would be planted in such a place where birds don't!" ”
Thinking about him, he said to Tang Xi angrily, "Hey, did you see how I fainted?" ”
Tang Xi felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly straightened his waist and said sincerely, "No, I was stunned at about the same time as you, where did I get from and see clearly?" ”
"Really?" Shangguan Yu glanced at her suspiciously, but thinking that everyone was in the same situation now, she shouldn't have to lie to herself, so he turned his head to face Jinglan again, "What about you?" Do you see anything? ”
Although there was still a hint of displeasure in his tone, it was much better than his attitude towards Tang Xi, Tang Xi was a little unconvinced, "Why are you so fierce to me?" I didn't ...... Ahem, I didn't offend you. Speaking of the second half of the sentence, she was a little weak-hearted, but when she thought about what happened at that time, the two of them were present, and he shouldn't know the truth, so her tone hardened again.
Shangguan Yu listened to her words and rolled his eyes at him, "She is a delicate beauty, and I naturally have a better attitude towards beauties, as for you...... Hehe......"
"......" Tang Xi felt that the last sentence was full of countless sarcasms, but obviously now was not the time to quarrel, so she chose to ignore it, and only lowered her voice and said, "Hey, aren't your martial arts not bad?" ”
Shangguan Yu raised his neck arrogantly when he heard this, "That's natural, the master's martial arts are superb, and naturally it is not comparable to you little fish and shrimp." ”
Tang Xi selectively ignored his behavior of praising himself for stepping on her feet, and hurriedly asked, "Then can you take the three of us to leave this ghost place together?" ”
"......" Shangguan Yu's face suddenly flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and he coughed lightly and said, "Well, if it's an ordinary place, it's naturally no problem, but you don't know yet, I've already checked, then Fu Ming offended the thieves on Eagle Beak Mountain, I'm afraid this is their old nest Black Eagle Village!" There are at least eight hundred bandits in this place, and it would be good if I could escape alone, so don't even think about taking you with me. ”
"Huh." Tang Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, he was bragging just now? Thinking of what Shangguan Yu said, she sighed in her heart, she was actually caught in the bandit's den, and the matter was even more complicated than she thought.
"Hey, what's that look on your face?" Shangguan Yu looked at Tang Xi's face full of disgust, and immediately stopped doing it.
"Okay, okay, what is a big man doing in a panic? Hey, let me ask you, what kind of place is this Black Eagle Village? ”
This time, without waiting for Shangguan Yu to speak, Fu Jinglan took over the conversation first, her eyebrows were full of worries that could not be dissolved, "Black Eagle Village is the most famous bandit nest in this area, due to the dangerous terrain of Eagle Beak Mountain, those bandits are extremely brave, the imperial court has failed to send people to encircle and suppress it several times, and finally simply turned a blind eye, fortunately, this Black Eagle Village has never touched any ordinary people, only interested in some rich businessmen or corrupt officials." ”
"Heh, you're still a robber of the rich and helping the poor?" Tang Xi laughed, and looked down on the other party's behavior in his heart, robbing the rich and helping the poor sounded good, but it was not the same as a robber? What's more, this time she also attacked an innocent woman in Jinglan, she felt that the other party would never be a good person.
Besides, this land is under the control of the imperial court, so what if they rob the rich and help the poor? In this way, it will only make the local law and order more corrupt, and there will only be more bad people to take advantage of the loopholes! Since ancient times, officials and bandits have been incompatible, not to mention that she was once the king of a country? It's weird to have a good impression of this place!
Hearing the disdain in Tang Xi's tone, Shangguan Yu frowned, "You look down on them very much?" ”
Tang Xi glanced at him, "Could it be that their behavior is very contemptible?" ”
Shangguan Yu pouted, "Even if you don't know how ugly you are, you must know that Cheng Nan, the owner of this Black Eagle Village, is very respected in the rivers and lakes, if I wasn't in a hurry to use money this time, coupled with Fu Jinglan's beauty, I would never have taken on the task of the Fu family!" ”
"......" said for the first time that he was greedy for money and lustful so righteously, Tang Xi felt that this Shangguan Yu was not very good, so he didn't say more to him about this issue, but only asked, "Then you say, what should I do in this situation now?" ”
Shangguan Yu choked for a moment, and then leaned on the pyre behind him, "Wait, with my understanding of Black Eagle Village, they shouldn't do anything to us." ”
"......" is done, you can be happy.
To be honest, Tang Xi doesn't have any ideas now, as Shangguan Yu said, it doesn't hurt to wait and see what happens, they are now passive, even if they want to make a move, they have to see the other party's purpose clearly first.
However, this wait was a whole night, during which Fu Jinglan's maid Tao'er woke up and cried in fright, or Fu Jinglan comforted her for a long time before she finally coaxed it, but Tang Xi was crying all night and didn't close her eyes.
"They...... Will it forget about us? Fu Jinglan was the first one who couldn't sit still, she didn't move all night, and no one came to bring them food in the morning, so she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Your father is the richest man here, such a big fat sheep, no one can forget you." Shangguan Yu threw a wink at Fu Jinglan in a ruffian.
Fu Jinglan frowned with some disgust, turned her head away from him, she had a very bad impression of this Shangguan Yu from the beginning, her demeanor was too frivolous, and her words were frivolous, she didn't look like a good person, and she didn't know what her father thought, so he sent such a person to protect her.
Tang Xi's impression of Shangguan Yu is not so bad, although he behaves frivolously, but there is no lust in his eyes, even if he is flattering, his eyes are very clear, how to say it, Tang Xi felt that he was a pure appreciation of beauty, so she faintly felt that this Shangguan Yu probably didn't look like a bad person.
However, Fu Jinglan, as the object of Shangguan Yukou's flowers, is naturally not as clear as Tang Xi, a bystander, so it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings about him, but Tang Xi didn't think about reconciling their relationship.
Just looking at Fu Jinglan looking at her with burning eyes, she could only squeeze out a smile to comfort her, "Shangguan Yu is right, the other party has worked hard to bring you back, and he will definitely not forget about us so easily." ”
After listening to Tang Xi's words, Fu Jinglan's face softened a little, smiled gratefully and didn't say anything more.
I waited for a long time, until the sun was almost overhead, and there was finally movement outside.
"The second is in charge, and the people are locked in."
At the same time, the four people in the room suddenly opened their eyes, looked at each other, and didn't say anything, just looked at the door with their eyes brushed.
"Huh!" The door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and mighty man with a beard on his face was the first to enter, followed by the four men who had taken them back the previous day.
The man who was called the second master fixed his eyes and saw that four people were tied there, and he couldn't help frowning, "How can there be four people?" ”
"Back to the second master, the woman in blue is Fu Jinglan, and the one next to her is her maid, we were bumped into by two other people when we arrested people yesterday, and we were afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so we fainted and brought them back."
The second master nodded, "I see." After speaking, a pair of tiger eyes looked at Fu Jinglan carefully up and down, and finally sighed, "It's indeed a beauty, it's not in vain that we tried our best to catch people back." After speaking, a pair of big hands slapped on the shoulder of the person who had just spoken, and laughed, "Huzi, the four of you have made a great contribution this time, and I will be rewarded when I turn back!" ”
"Thank you, second master!" Huzi smiled, and then asked, "Then the second master, do we have to send a letter to Fu Ming's grandson?" ”
"Eh, there's no hurry." The old god of the second boss waved his hand, touched his chin and said, "Our big boss was seriously injured this time, and it's time for him to chong chongxi to go to bad luck, it's rare to meet a beauty, it's better to be the wife of the big boss, women can serve men more finely, maybe the big boss's injuries can be healed faster, hahahaha!" ”
When the four of Huzi heard this, they couldn't help but show a lewd smile on their faces, "Hey, hey, hey, it's still thoughtful to the second master, in this way, our big boss has become the son-in-law of Fu Ming's grandson, are you afraid that you won't come to the silver?" Hahahahaha! ”
"Smack!" Huzi was laughing hard, his head was coldly beaten, and he looked up aggrievedly and saw the second master staring at him, "Bastard!" Fu Ming is about to become our boss, how dare you call him grandson? Tired of being crooked, isn't it? ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare to be the second master anymore!" Huzi hugged his head and begged for mercy.
Looking at the two people in front of her, Tang Xi sighed in her heart and looked at Fu Jinglan beside her, her face was pale at this time, her face was full of fear, and she seemed to have just found her voice for a while, "Two of you!" I don't want to do anything to crush the village lady! My father will give me the silver, and I hope you two will let us be safe! ”
Hearing this, the second master withdrew his hand to beat the tiger, and looked at Fu Jinglan with a sneer, "I'm bah! What kind of thing do you dare to bargain with me? Lao Tzu is already merciful to keep your family's life, otherwise it would be light to chop you up and feed the dogs with the things your father did! ”
Fu Jinglan's face turned pale, and her whole person trembled a little, but she still insisted on asking, "...... What did my dad do? After a pause, he said, "Did you have any misunderstanding?" My dad is an ordinary businessman, and he won't do anything harmful! ”
The second master was not interested in dealing with her, only smiled contemptuously, and then instructed Huzi, "Take a good look at these people, when Fu Jinglan marries the big boss, if the other two are not bad people, let go down the mountain." ”
After saying this time, the second master did not continue to stay in the house, turned around and left with a few people, and when the door was closed, the sound of locks outside could be heard.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate, because what the second master said just now made it very clear, as long as Tang Xi and Shangguan Yu didn't make trouble, they would be released directly, but Fu Jinglan would stay and be the wife of the village......
These two different results gradually made the four people in the room who originally wanted to escape together gradually have a rift in their hearts.
Fu Jinglan looked at Shangguan Yu and the two of them wanted to speak and stopped, but they didn't say anything, Tang Xi just couldn't see it, leaned on the pyre and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Shangguan Yu glanced at Tang Xi, thought about it and didn't say anything, he leaned over and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Fu Jinglan bit her lip, tears were about to drip out, but no one could see the two people with their eyes closed, but her maid cried out a little scared, "Miss, what should we do?" ”
Fu Jinglan ignored her, but plucked up the courage to call out to Tang Xi and them, "Miss Tang, Shangguan Gongzi," looking at the inquiring eyes of the two opposite, she pursed her lips and said firmly, "The two of you shouldn't die without help, right?" ”
Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Shangguan Yu laughed, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Shangguan Gongzi was originally sent by his father to protect me, didn't he? Aren't you people the most moral? In that case, Shangguan Gongzi shouldn't watch me being bullied and ignore me, right? Don't worry, if you save me this time, I will pay double the amount of money my father promised you. ”
Tang Xi lowered his eyes, and was a little disappointed in this Fu Jinglan in his heart, he thought she was a good lady, but now it seems that she is not enough.
And Shangguan Yu was even more sarcastic in his eyes, "I said Miss Fu, do you mean that if I don't save you, there is no morality?" Oh, twice the silver, you are generous, it seems that in the eyes of Miss Fu, my cheap life is worth so much silver? ”
Fu Jinglan's eyes sank, and she turned her head a little uncomfortably to avoid Shangguan Yu's eyes, but her tone was still tough, "Since Shangguan Gongzi prides himself on being a person in the rivers and lakes, he should abide by morality, I don't mean to force you, I'm just reminding you." ”
Shangguan Yu sneered and turned his head away from her, this was the first time he had such an attitude towards Jinglan, a beauty.
Fu Jinglan bit her lip, then looked at Tang Xi, her tone was much slower than that of Shangguan Yu, "Miss Tang, you must help me, you were originally involved to save me, didn't you?" I think it's come to this point, the girl won't give up halfway, and I hope the girl will help me, and I will definitely reward Miss Tang with a lot of money in the future! ”
Tang Xi's expression was faint, there is a good saying, adversity sees the truth, and only after experiencing disasters can you see a person's character, such as this Fu Jinglan, she is a cold and selfish person, she only thinks about herself, she wants them to save her, but she wants to find some high-sounding reasons, not so much begging them, but forcing them to save her, thinking that she is afraid that they will ask her for more after saving her.
Such a person seems to be rational, but he seems to be too cold.
But she didn't refuse, because Fu Jinglan was right, she was involved in it to save her, if she gave up halfway, she wouldn't be reconciled, but how to save it was a long-term discussion.
