Chapter 37: Tying Up the Beauty (I)

After about a quarter of an hour, the side door of Cui's mansion finally opened, and the bright Miss Cui Ning slowly walked out under the escort of the two twin maids, and she bowed slightly to Chu Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Let Chu Gongzi wait for a long time." ”

"Where! Where! Smelling the fragrance on the beauty, Chu Gongzi's heart was almost drunk, and he couldn't help but say: "Even if I wait for Miss for a hundred years, I am willing!" ”

A thick love sentence came out, but Cui Ning didn't seem to hear it, her eyes were still calm like water, but there was no expression on her face, but the maid next to her couldn't help muttering, "Boring!" ”

Although the voice was low, it still clearly penetrated into Chu Wei's ears, he was like a stick on the head, his face became pale, at this time, the carriage that stopped on the opposite side slowly stepped forward and stopped in front of Cui Ning, Chu Wei forced a happy face, he personally opened the car door, put on an elegant posture and said: "Miss, please get in the car!" ”

Cui Ning gently picked up her long skirt and was about to get into the carriage, when suddenly, a big black hand suddenly stretched out from the carriage and grabbed Cui Ning's arm, and in her exclamation, Cui Ning was forcibly pulled into the carriage.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, Chu Wei saw that it was a man's hand that grabbed Cui Ning, he was furious in his heart, he climbed the car door and rushed up, only halfway through, but he saw a cold knife at a glance, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help stopping at the door, and without waiting for him to retreat, a thick-soled boot flew out of the carriage and kicked him out of the car.

The two twin maids obviously had martial arts, they shouted angrily, rubbed their bodies and were about to pounce, but suddenly froze, only to see a snowy steel knife in the carriage on the neck of the young lady, at this time, a deep voice came from behind the young lady, "If you dare to move half a step, her neck will be broken." ”

The two maids were furious, and both of them shouted at the same time: "Bold fanatic, do you know who Miss is? ”

"Of course I know, Cui Xiangguo's only daughter, Cui Ning!"

Zhang Huan slowly showed half of his face, and he said coldly to everyone: "Please tell Xiangguo, I am Hedong Zhang Huan, if Cui Xiong captures the woman in the morning, then I will deal with his daughter in the same way, tell him, send the woman captured by Cui Xiong to Chunming Gate within an hour, otherwise, I will cut off one of his daughter's hands first!" ”

"Someone! Snatch the young lady back for me. Chu Wei, who had just gotten up from the ground, was so angry that he retreated and ordered his subordinates to rush forward with all his might.

"Do as he says!"

Cui Ning, who was controlled by Zhang Huan, suddenly spoke, her voice was still soft, but her tone could not be disobeyed, she saw that Chu Wei had lost her mind a little, and ordered again: "Master Chu, did you hear it, do what he said!" ”

Chu Wei was stunned, and after a while, he turned around and yelled at the housekeeper who ran out: "Don't go and report to Xiangguo soon!" ”

The matter has been explained, Zhang Huan smashed the front baffle with a backhand, and slapped the driver in the back with the back of the knife, "Drive me and go to Chunmingmen!" The coachman was in pain, he raised his hand and whipped it, and the carriage started and galloped towards the direction of Chunming Gate.

After walking for about two miles, Cui Ning suddenly whispered, "You let go of me!" ”

Zhang Huan stretched out his hand and locked the doors on both sides, then let go of her, he didn't say a word, only stared coldly at her every move, Cui Ning gently pulled up the somewhat messy clothes, pulled his hair back, put his hands on his knees, and didn't move.

The carriage was running on Chunming Street, the carriage was dark and silent, and the front curtain was blown up by the wind from time to time, penetrating a ray of light, reflecting on the bodies and faces of the two, Cui Ning secretly glanced at Zhang Huan from the corner of her eye, and she asked in a low voice: "Did you kidnap me because Cui Xiong captured your wife?" ”

Zhang Huan heard her gentle tone, so he smiled faintly and said, "He arrested my friend's wife!" I was worried that he would do evil, so I had no choice but to ask the young lady to get in the car, and if you cooperate with me, I will not hurt you. ”

Cui Ning was silent, and after a long time, she said softly: "I'm sorry! ”

Zhang Huan glanced at her, and suddenly said coldly: "You don't have to say I'm sorry, if Cui Xiong does evil, I will not let you go either, I, Zhang Huan, will do what I say, whether you are a princess or a young lady of the family!" ”

Cui Ning's face turned pale, she lowered her head, twisting her fingers uneasily, at this time the carriage had already left the Chunming Gate, Zhang Huan looked out, and immediately ordered the coachman: "The carriage stops on the side of the road!" ”

The carriage slowly stopped, Zhang Huan patiently waited for the news, he believed that Cui Yuan would arrive soon, and sure enough, in less than half an hour, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"It's coming!" Zhang Huan grabbed Cui Ning's arm and pulled her off the carriage, only to see that at the Chunming Gate, two cavalry rushed like two wild dragons, rushing past him in an instant, stirring up dust in the sky, Zhang Huan didn't move, the knife was on Cui Ning's neck, and the cavalry surrounded Zhang Huan, and the swords, bows and crossbows pointed at him together.

At this time, the cavalry dodged a road, a carriage drove in, only to see Xiangguo Cui Yuan get down from the carriage, he glanced at Zhang Huan coldly, and with a wave of his hand, two personal guards put Lin Qiaoqiao, who was full of horror, off the carriage.

Cui Yuan took a step forward and glanced at the henchman beside him slightly, and he said to Zhang Huan: "I brought the woman you wanted, she is intact, we will exchange it now!" ”

Zhang Huan saw that the soldiers next to him had faint signs of moving, he stopped his waist and hugged Cui Ning tightly, the knife in his hand was slightly forced, and a red mark immediately appeared on Cui Ning's snow-white neck, Zhang Huan said calmly: "You let the person go first, otherwise I will die with her!" ”

"Young man, please don't be afraid."

Cui Yuan smiled lightly, and he said in a very gentle tone: "Benxiang knows that it was Cui Xiong who kidnapped people first, and he has violated my Tang Dynasty law, and you are a famous disciple, and Benxiang will not embarrass you for the sake of Zhang Shangshu's face, let my daughter go, and I will treat this incident as if it never happened." ”

The vigilance on Zhang Huan's face began to fade away, revealing a very embarrassed expression.

"This ....."

He hesitated for a long time before stammering and asking, "Xiangguo, you are the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, can you make a promise?" ”

Cui Yuan's smile was even more amiable, he waved his hand, and said very sincerely: "Young man, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and he has a lot of opportunities, will he take this little thing of yours to heart?" ”

Zhang Huan nodded slowly, and after a long time, he finally said categorically: "Ji Bu has no promise, Hou Huan is heavy!" I believe you, you let the people go first, and I immediately let the young lady go. ”

Cui Yuan looked at Zhang Huan's every subtle look and face in his eyes, he was secretly proud, turned around and gave a look, the two guards immediately let Lin Qiaoqiao go, and when Lin Qiaoqiao ran behind him, Zhang Huan asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Qiaoqiao nodded with trepidation, "That beast was about to be rude to me, when they suddenly came and brought me here." ”

At this time, Cui Yuan smiled and said, "Zhang Huan! I have already released the people according to the agreement, and you can release my daughter too! ”

Zhang Huan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Xiangguo! If you were me, would you put it? ”

"How dare you play tricks on the old man?"

Cui Yuan's face changed greatly, and he said anxiously and annoyedly: "Then what do you have to do to let my daughter go!" ”

Zhang Huan dragged Cui Ning back and said loudly: "You go back now, I will release Miss tomorrow and never break my word!" ”

"You—"

Cui Yuan was furious, he stared at Zhang Huan and said coldly: "What if I don't agree?" ”

Zhang Huan's eyes were indifferent, his knife tightened more and more, blood beads appeared on Cui Ning's neck, her words could no longer be spoken, she could only cast a pleading glance at her father, Cui Yuan's heart was like a knife, he hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, count you ruthless!" ”

He got into the carriage and whispered a command, and the carriage turned away, and the cavalry followed, and in a moment all the men were gone, and there was not a single one left.

waited until the sound of their horses' hooves went away, Zhang Huan's knife slowly loosened, but Cui Ning's body was weak and he fainted.

......

"Eighteen Lang, thanks to you this time......" Lin Qiaoqiao thanked in a low voice, she didn't know the risk Zhang Huan took to save Zhao Lang and herself, her lips moved, but she couldn't say it anymore, how could this kind of great favor be repaid with a thank you.

Zhang Huan saw it in his eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Qiaoqiao doesn't need to take it to heart, speaking of which, these troubles are still caused by me, if I hadn't gone to burn back the food of the Su people, how could it cause so many incidents, and I can rescue you, I am also at ease." ”

Qiaoqiao shook her head, she sighed softly, and carefully handled the blood stains on Cui Ning's neck, at this time Cui Ning had already woken up, her head twisted to the side, and she didn't say a word, just kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Zhang Huan didn't continue, he looked out of the car window silently, a wry smile appeared on his lips, from last night to now, in just one day and one night, he has done two shocking things, so that the right side of the hall suffers two big losses, Cui Yuan is estimated to have hated so much that he wants to peel his skin.

His future road will become extremely difficult, Cui Yuan will not let him go, and his imperial examination will most likely end here, but if he is asked to choose again, he will still not hesitate to do so.

Lin Qiaoqiao was rescued and kept his innocence, as well as Zhao Yan and Zheng Qingming, they were also safe and sound, their promises to the master and the master were fulfilled, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was quietly unloaded, at this moment, Zhang Huan felt extremely relaxed.

......

He had seen the gate of the manor from a distance, he quietly pulled Lin Qiaoqiao, pointed to the gate of the manor, Lin Qiaoqiao understood, she firmly remembered this place, and went forward three miles of road, Zhang Huan saw that there was a carriage to be hired on the side of the road, so he ordered the coachman to stop, stuffed Lin Qiaoqiao with a handful of money, and saw her get into the carriage and go back to the road, so he ordered the carriage to continue to move forward.

I don't know how many roads I traveled, until in the afternoon, there was a fork in the road, one was the official road to Tongguan, and the other was to Baqiao, the coachman hesitated, and then asked tremblingly: "May I ask which road ahead?" ”

There was no reply for a long time, he couldn't help but look back at the carriage, and was stunned for a moment, the carriage was already empty.....
