"Now, the concubine of the Marquis of Xichun is the only daughter, and she died in Longxing Villa, and the owner of the big village is afraid that it is already very difficult, right?" Zhao Rui laughed as he spoke, and after picking his nails, he leaned on the table with his elbow, and leaned into Fu Rushen: "To be honest, when this prince knew that the owner's wife was the old department of Dongchu, he was taken aback. ”

"This Dragon Walking Villa is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, mixed fish and dragons, and there are everyone in it."

The knuckles holding the armrest are slightly white. Fu Ru was silent and said heavily: "Sassa is just a poor person who was homeless in the Dongchu incident. At that time, except for the old department of Dongchu, no one could save her life, she just wanted to live, and she didn't think about being right with anyone, I don't think it was wrong. ”

"Hey, in this world, there are not so many reasons to distinguish clearly." Zhao Rui shook his head slowly, his tone regretful, "Sometimes, if you stand on the wrong position, that's a mistake, who can take a closer look at what she has done?" ”

After saying that, he smiled: "The big farmer, the mood of protecting his wife is understandable, but this son was ordered by his father to arrest the old department of Eastern Chu. The Father's command cannot be disobeyed, and you must understand it. ”

Fu Rushen closed his eyes.

"The prince said, how to punish, how to punish, Fu Mou to bear it."

"One to bear?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rui shook his head and said: "The owner of the big village has been a snake for a few years, so he can't help but think a little highly of himself. You can't afford this alone. ”

"After all, you see, the county lord of Xichun is dead, and it is we who are busy tracking down the whereabouts of the murderer, but you can't even provide any information. At the moment, she can be regarded as an important person, even if her identity in the old department of Dongchu may not be remarkable? But she's your owner's wife. Zhao Rui spread his hands, "Do you think I might let her go?" ”

Fu Rushen inhaled softly and was about to speak, but Zhao Rui didn't give him a chance at all.

As if he couldn't move when he pinched his identity, he then threw out an earth-shattering sentence: "Besides, the big farmer, you have also done things yourself, who do you think you can protect?" ”

Fu Rushen frowned, and was finally able to speak: "Fu doesn't know what he has done?" ”

Zhao Rui took a sip of tea.

He said slowly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, I am worried that the government will collude with the governor and bend the law for bribes, so I will allocate the disaster relief funds for digging the canals in Chongzhou and Hanzhou to the name of your Longxing Villa, and the operation of digging the canal will be started at the beginning of this year, but this son has found out that your account is not clean." ”

Fu Rushen was stunned, and asked him lightly: "Dare to ask how Fu's account is not clean?" 800,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of silver, Fu asked himself if he was not short of these silver coins, so why bother to use the disaster relief funds? ”

"Then the son of the world doesn't know." Zhao Rui shrugged, "Originally, I was no longer here when I came to Chudi, but who let Chudi be my father's fief?" I helped him check the disaster relief accounts, only to see that it was very interesting, the disaster relief funds were checked, there were 200,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver missing, the owner of the village asked me, I also want to ask you what's going on. ”

What Zhao Rui said was reasonable, but Fu Rushen had a bad premonition when he heard it.

Zhao Rui, who was obviously prepared, smiled, put down the teacup, and knocked the lid with his fingertips.

"I heard that the lady of the owner of your village is going to go out by carriage today? I'm afraid what kind of tricks is this world, or the account is that the owner's wife has done something and absconded for fear of crime, so a lockdown order has been issued to arrest your wife. ”

“……”

His face darkened in an instant, Fu Rushen pursed his lips tightly, and only asked after a while: "Shizi is forcing Fu?" ”

"It's not that the old department of Eastern Chu forced this son first." Zhao Rui replied to him casually, and then clapped his hands.

A servant walked into the hall from the outside, holding a splendid longbow in his hand.

"Great Zhuang Master, this son doesn't want to tear his face with Longxing Villa, and he doesn't want to bring down Longxing Villa, this is not good for me."

Zhao Rui said sincerely, while pulling the bowstring out of thin air, and turned his head to look at Fu Rushen with a smile: "So this son has a proposal." ”

"As long as the owner of the big village nods, and promises that he will not deal with the old department of Dongchu in the future, and don't do some things that kill himself, this son will protect you and Longxing Villa from responsibility, how about it?"

How is it?

Fu Rushen sneered: "King Huai'an has never set foot in Chu Land over the years, but the things that should be arranged have never been left behind." ”

Zhao Rui lowered his eyes, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that the master of the big village is both civil and military, and all kinds of weapons are used, but I don't know how much of the favorite bow and arrow you can use?" ”

After asking him, he stood up, put a bow and arrow on his back and said, "The master of the big village is here, give this son a guarantee." ”

Resisting the urge to tear this person apart, Fu Rushen followed Zhao Rui out of Longxing Villa.

When he got on the horse, he glanced sideways at the magnificent gate of the villa, and the subordinates who didn't know what was going on, but were still guarding the door with their heads held high, Fu Rushen sighed lowly.

It's been less than two hours. Xu Sa couldn't imagine what he had been through.

Arrived at the port with Gu Yuankun and the dart masters, she and Gu Yuankun saw that there were many more officers and soldiers with knives on the dock, and they felt strange and asked a few more questions, how did they know that when Xinyu and the dart master carried things on the passenger ship together, those officers and soldiers with knives suddenly wanted to arrest her? also shouted, "It's her, don't let her run!" ”

There were two woods next to the wharf, and Xu Sa shouted, "I am the wife of the owner of Longhang Villa", and he was still chased and killed by officers and soldiers with knives for a long time, and he had to plunge into the woods like before.

"What are these people coming from, and why are they arresting you?" Gu Yuankun ran beside her and asked.

Xu Sa didn't have time to shake his head, so he could only deny it: "I don't know either, but the clothes are from the government...... I didn't mess with the government! ”

She just wanted to ask, why did there be so many more officers and soldiers on the dock out of thin air, and why did they become people who were chased and killed by officers and soldiers?

The two have been chasing and running for a long time. In fact, this is not the first time that such a scene has occurred. It's like Xu Sa taking someone to find Fu Rushen, and when it's far away, she and Gu Yuankun have encountered things all the way. But this time, Xu Sa was a little powerless when he ran, and his legs were weak and he was about to throw himself on the ground.

"What's the matter with you!" Gu Yuankun quickly grabbed her, "Back pain?" ”

Xu Sa looked at him with a smile, sweat on his forehead: "What is this when your back hurts?" I don't know what's wrong, I'm a little uncomfortable today. ”

In the past, she could run happier than Gu Yuankun!

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had already caught up. Gu Yuankun turned around neatly and pulled out his broadsword to block in front of her.

"Why are you chasing her?" He asked coldly.

The leader of the officers and soldiers snorted and said, "The prince sent me and others to arrest the escaped criminals from the old department of Eastern Chu, regardless of identity!" Even if this is the wife of the owner of Longxing Villa, I will only be rude! ”

Gu Yuankun frowned, but Xu Sa was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground.

Her identity was also leaked?

There were many officers and soldiers, and when they saw that they were not moving, they tacitly began to outflank them. Seeing this, Gu Yuankun took out several wooden darts from his arms with his left hand and threw them out, although he didn't hurt anyone, he still stopped them from moving forward.

"I'll take cover, you keep escaping, out of the woods and into a crowded place." Gu Yuankun lowered his voice and said to Xu Sa quickly.

Xu Sa worried: "Then how can I get along with you?" ”

Gu Yuankun sneered coldly.

"Let you escape, you will flee first."

Without giving Xu Sa a chance to ask more questions, Gu Yuankun rushed into the crowd with a broad sword. Seeing this, Xu Sa pulled out a short dagger from the side of her boot, followed and took two steps forward, and just when the officers and soldiers thought that she was going to fight, she turned around sharply and continued to flee backwards!

The officers and soldiers were stunned: "She ran away!" ”

But Gu Yuankun didn't say a word, but he used his moves extremely sharply, fighting with a group of officers and soldiers, and not giving them a chance to catch up at all. Even though there were many more openings in his arms and shoulders, he didn't even say a word.

"If you can't do it, you must kill people!" The head of the officers and soldiers was in a hurry.

"Zheng—"

The clashing of weapons was piercing. Gu Yuankun jumped back and said coldly: "If you want to make a dead hand, I won't be polite." ”

"The stinky boy can talk big!" The leader of the officers and soldiers shouted angrily, "Go straight and kill him!" ”

Gu Yuankun sneered, lifted the broadsword, and was not afraid at all.

On the other side, Fu Rushen and Zhao Rui rode on horseback and soon arrived at the dock.

Although he was unwilling, with Zhao Rui leading the way, he still had to follow, and rushed from the dock to the direction of Xu Sa's escape.

Zhao Rui grabbed the reins and smiled: "Your lady is also powerful, not like a soft girl at all, and you still know how to escape?" It's more interesting than going straight to the law. ”

"Why should the son of the world be so embarrassed by a woman?" Fu Rushen couldn't help but ask, "No matter how bad Sasa is, it's my wife, you are so ......"

"Great lord, you can't say that she is your lady anymore. Otherwise, with the Huai'an Palace, oh no, against the imperial court, do you want your Longxing Villa? ”

Zhao Rui quickly interrupted him, and there was still a little smug on his face: "The Holy Lord can't tolerate the old department of Eastern Chu, you know." This Shizi still looks at Sister Ling's face, so he gives you such a chance. Don't forget to say a few kind words to this prince in front of Sister Ling, this son intends to marry her as a concubine. ”

"......" Some words almost blurted out, Fu Rushen's face tightened, and the hand holding the reins was trembling a little.

Fifteen years ago, the war in Eastern Chu was raging, and the wolf smoke was billowing out, he had seen it.

The Xu family died unexpectedly, and many family members of the maids were crying at the gate of the ruins of the Xu house, and he had also seen it.

The lives of hundreds of people in Longhang Villa......

Did he do something wrong when he recommended himself to become the owner of the big farm? He thought that the busyness at that time was a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he never imagined that one day, he would be so tired.

"It seems to be in this forest, let's look for it separately." After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Big Boss, if you go this way, find the escapee before me, maybe it will make you feel two points less sad." ”

So saying, he rode his horse in the other direction.

Fu Rushen closed his eyes and walked towards the direction pointed by Zhao Rui.

The woods are deep and inhabited by a variety of trees and shrubs. He wanted to call her name, but if someone found out......

The heart is like being weighed down by a thousand pounds, and you can even hear the suppressed roar of the beast in your heart. Fu Rushen panted and shuttled through the forest, and finally there was a sound of passing through the bushes.

When he looked sideways, Xu Sa's overjoyed voice had already come: "Big Owner!?" ”

Xu Sa is really tired of running, but this forest is twisting and turning, and it is so difficult to find a way out. ran out of breath, her stomach hurt, she finally saw Fu Rushen, and thought it was a hallucination.

But even if it was an illusion, she was so happy that tears fell from her excitement: "Big farmer, are you here to save me?" ”

"Don't come here, let's go!" Fu Rushen pointed behind Xu Sa and finished speaking to her, and directly turned the horse's head and ran in another direction.

Xu Sa was stunned for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and saw that the back was clearly familiar to her, she frowned, and pulled her legs to catch up: "Big boss!" Wait for me! ”

Fu Rushen restrained the horse under him, and was about to open his mouth to be lucky, but he heard the voice he didn't want to hear.

"Yo, you found it first?"

Zhao Ruile came over, smiling meaningfully, as if he was a little regretful: "Big owner, you can't help but cherish the opportunity." ”

Xu Sa stopped when he saw Zhao Rui.

Looking at the two people in front of her vigilantly, she wanted to think rationally, but she didn't know if it was because she was too tired from running, or because the uneasiness in her heart was too strong, it made her brain feel hot and congested for a while, and she didn't dare to think about what happened at all.

Fu Rushen looked at Zhao Rui coldly.

"What does the son want?"

Zhao Rui smiled and pointed in a direction: "The owner of the big village doesn't know, this son saw a young man over there, entangled with five or six people from our official mansion, and he was injured all over. ”

Fu Rushen still looked indifferent.

Zhao Rui looked at him and smiled even more happily: "That young man is not your escort for Mrs. Ling, right?" My wife is protected by other men like this, and I don't see the taste, the big farmer, don't you have deep feelings for her. ”

Fu Rushen and Zhao Rui faced each other, with their backs to Xu Sa.

Even if he couldn't see it, he thought that Xu Sa must not have left yet.

Did she hear me? She can't hear?

Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows and untied the longbow on his body, and reached out to hand it to Fu Rushen.

"Whether you can satisfy this son of the world, let her live, and let Longxing Villa go, it's up to you, the owner of the village."

He said: "This son of the world knows that you still have some affection for her. It's just that Longxing Villa wants to stand innocently in Chu, so it can't be involved with the people of the old department of Eastern Chu, and the owner of the big village should understand this matter. ”

Fu Rushen raised his eyes, and his cold eyes swept over Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui was surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

Behind him, there is the king of Huai'an......

Finally, Fu Rushen took the longbow and feather arrows.

Zhao Rui may not know that Sassa is a descendant of the Xu family, right? If he knew, he wouldn't have spared her life......

Closing his eyes, he turned the horse's head again and faced Xu Sa.

Xu Sa looked at him in a daze, didn't speak, just kept staring blankly, which was her unique appearance when she was afraid and sad.

With a tense pain in his heart, Fu Ru's deep throat moved, raised his bow and arrows, and aimed at Xu Sa.

"Big Boss......" Xu Sa murmured with empty eyes.

Fu Rushen blinked, and the cold in his deep eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.

He said: "You go, Longxing Villa will no longer tolerate you in the future." ”

The words of the indifferent voice were like needles, piercing Xu Sa's heart fiercely. She didn't cry, just looked at him blankly and asked, "What happened?" ”

"I'll let you go." Fu Rushen warned in a deep voice.

"I ......" Xu Sa shook his head, "You at least tell me, the owner of the big village ......"

"Three,"

"Ah Shen?" Xu Sa choked with a crying voice.

Fu Rushen sighed: "Two,"

Suddenly as if he had been woken up by a stick, Xu Sa's eyes were shaking, and he turned around and ran.

Zhao Rui raised the corners of his mouth.

Fu Ru, who only listened to the side, said lightly: "One." ”

"Whoosh-"

The feather arrow broke off the string and nailed it into Xu Sa's left shoulder socket from behind, and the ferocious force stumbled her and fell to the ground.

Fu Rushen put down his longbow, looked at the sky and blinked, and gasped lowly.

It was clearly the shoulder that hurt, but it was the heart that made her tremble in pain. Xu Sa didn't dare to look back, struggled to get up, hesitated for a moment, and continued to drag the injury on his shoulder forward.

At least this time, there are no strange people to pull out the arrows. She ran and ran, grinning suddenly, salty tears falling on her lips, and she kept running forward.

It wasn't until the unconscious strike of her legs knocked her down that Xu Sa curled up in pain.

The breeze is blowing, and the green shade that has been already in the sky is still calling "sass".

"Why...... she murmured distractedly, "why...... What went wrong? ”

The mental exhaustion was so exhaustive that it made her a little sleepy at this juncture. Xu Sa wanted to get up, but failed after several attempts.

She couldn't crawl anymore. Leg pain, shoulder pain, stomach pain, especially heart twitching all the time...... Xu Sa, who was in a trance, closed his eyes.

"I can't run," she snorted softly, "I'm sorry, I can't go any further......"

There was a blackness in front of her eyes, gradually robbing her consciousness. The last light in his brain was Fu Rushen's appearance of smiling at her with his hands behind his back on a certain afternoon.

Xu Sa bent his lips and closed his eyes with wet cheeks.

……

She thought that this time she would close her eyes and never open them again.

In other words, it may be better to never open it again than for her to keep running away and falling in nightmares.

This time, she had expectations, but the expectants never reached out to her again. She couldn't see the light, so she kept running forward, trying to shake off the flood beast behind her.

Who can kill her? Who's going to kill her!? She's tired of running, she can't run anymore, and she's ...... Never see the light again?

Suddenly feeling an itch on his face, Xu Sa trembled, opened his eyes suddenly, and it took a long time to ease his consciousness and move his eyes.

"Awake?"

A cold voice mixed with exhaustion came from above her head, but it was Gu Yuankun sitting against a tree, half-lowering his eyes, staring at her with his dark eyes.

After a moment of chaos in his mind, Xu Sa slowly got up from the ground, and was pulled by the pain in his shoulder.

"It's not easy to stop bleeding, don't waste medicine." Gu Yuankun looked at her expressionlessly and said.

This pain made her sober up a bit. Xu Sa carefully held his left arm, and found that the feather arrow on it was gone, and it was still tied with a strip of cloth......

"Who pulled out the arrow for me?" She asked quietly with her eyebrows down.

Gu Yuankun said with a dark face: "It's me." ”

The sky is orange, and the canopy above the head is very lush. It took Xu Sa a long time to see the surrounding affairs clearly, and found that this seemed to be the place where she fell.

Looking at Gu Yuankun again, he was only wearing a white undershirt, but the white undershirt was almost stained red with blood. Seeing her heart beating: "Yuan Kun, you have shed a lot of blood!" ”

"It's not all mine." Gu Yuankun replied lightly, and said, "And it's also solidified." ”

After saying that, he raised his hand, and inside was a small medicine bottle: "You are weak, take good care of it, if the wound is bleeding again, use it." There is still half a bottle, and there is some left. ”

Xu Sa doesn't remember when Gu Yuankun likes to carry bottles of hemostatic medicine on his body. It can be seen that almost all of his tattered undershirt is glued to his body, the strip of cloth that bandaged her is the corner of his robe, and the remaining tattered robe is also draped on her body......

Xu Sa frowned: "You're injured like this, you don't use any medicine?" ”

"Give it to me, it's not enough. For you, twice enough. Gu Yuankun gave her a standard answer.

Xu Sa couldn't cry or laugh, she raised her hand to hit him, it could be seen that he was extremely tired, and she sighed.

"I've been in a coma all afternoon?"

Gu Yuankun sneered.

"Silly, it's the second day."

Xu Sa: "......"

Sighing and rubbing the corners of his forehead, Xu Sa was a little speechless for a while. Finally finding out the topic, she asked, "Yuan Kun, how did you find me?" ”

As far as he is an idiot, if he said that he hit by mistake, then she is too close to him.

Gu Yuankun glanced at her indifferently, and then picked up the broad sword at his feet and stood up.

"Can you still go?" He asked.

Xu Sa blinked, stood up on one knee with one hand, stumbled a little at first, but after a while it got much better.

"I can go." She said.

Gu Yuankun pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and said, "Then come here." ”

Xu Sa was slightly stunned, followed to look, and found an arrow drawn on the ground.

This arrowhead, connected to a deep ravine, leads into the distance.

"This ......" Xu Sa didn't understand, "Yuan Kun, what kind of mark did you make here?" ”

Gu Yuankun didn't answer, he only inserted the blade of the sword into the ravine, and then dragged the sword along the ravine, walking forward little by little.

"When I was looking for you, I saw a way out of the woods." Walking along the ravine, Gu Yuankun said.

Xu Sa followed him forward little by little, pouting and asking, "Then why don't you go out directly?" ”

Gu Yuankun glanced at her.

"I don't think you're going to come out of this wood."

After a pause, Xu Sa grinned: "Really?" You're pretty smart. ”

Gu Yuankun stopped talking again.

followed him all the time, walking along the ravine, at first Xu Sa felt that the twists and turns were strange. But it wasn't until she found that this ravine went back and forth, and it didn't even cross, but it seemed like a mark left by her when she was looking for it, in order to avoid walking back to the original place......

At last, her heart fluttered when she saw the ravine, which had deliberately stretched out of the woods and turned back.

I couldn't feel the heartache that was numb, but my eyes were sour because of a warmth. Xu Sa watched Gu Yuankun hold his weapon on the edge of the woods and gasp, walked over, raised his hand at him, paused and put it down.

She was afraid that if she poked at random, this guy would fall.

"Gu Yuankun, are you a fool?" Xu Sa wiped his tears and asked him, "I have been so seriously injured, and I have to find me desperately, tell me, how much effort did you spend on this ravine?" You've come so far, you're dying! ”

"No, I'm not sure I'll find you." Gu Yuankun replied to her lightly.

Crying and laughing, Xu Sa was so angry: "What do you have to do with me?" Besides, are you sure you can find me? You're not afraid of dying on the road! ”

Gu Yuankun was unmoved, but his tone was full of course: "Death must also be a peaceful death." ”

After a pause, he added, "Or, die on the way to peace of mind." ”
