Chapter 265: A Visit
If something like this happened, the four soldiers guarding Yanping Gate were supposed to be severely punished, but fortunately, Wang Xiang interceded for them to keep the errand, and if Wang Xiang hadn't helped them in Yanping Gate, they might have been poisoned by Ergou, and Wang Xiang was naturally very grateful.
The reason why Wang Xiang interceded with them was because they finally dragged Ergou at the last moment, otherwise it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if they wanted to rescue Ning Xiang when the carriage left the city.
As for their failure to recognize Ergou's charge of dereliction of duty, Wang Xiang also felt that they were quite wronged, and he could recognize Ergou at a glance because he had seen Ergou in Xishui Village. It's really too difficult to connect with a real person just by looking at the avatar on the wanted portrait, in fact, Ergou doesn't have to be so careful at all, even if he doesn't stick a fake beard or makeup, as long as he hasn't seen his real person, it's impossible to recognize him through the wanted portrait.
Hearing the news of Ergou, Li Er was furious, and when he thought of Li Chengqian's leg injury, he couldn't break Ergou's body into ten thousand pieces to vent his anger, and immediately ordered to pursue Ergou and several of his subordinates with all his might.
In order not to appear speechless that Ergou walked in front of him and couldn't recognize it, Wang Xiang also specially drew a sketch portrait of Ergou with his impression, although there are some differences with the real person, but it is much better than the wanted portrait posted in Chang'an City, at least seven or eight points similar to the real person.
After today's incident, Ergou shouldn't have dared to enter the city recently, so he didn't have much hope, but he also began to think about the safety of Ning Xiang and the others.
Ding Xiaoshen was blessed by misfortune, and when he woke up from his coma, he got a job he never dreamed of - a guard at the Yipin Theater.
According to Ning Xiang, Ding Xiaoshen can fight with the strong men under Ergou for a long time, and being able to stand up at a critical moment shows that his character is not bad. And Wang Xiang is just planning to recruit a group of guards for the Yipin Theater. So Ding Xiaoshen was hired first. He also became the captain of the guard.
In addition to the Yipin Theater, the safety of Ning Xiang's house was also handed over to Ding Xiaoshen, these guards are their full-time bodyguards, for this reason, Wang Xiang also specially bought a house nearby at a high price for the guards of the Yipin Theater to live, of course, now there is only Ding Xiaoshen alone, and the other guards have not been recruited.
The salary of ten times a month is several times more than what Ding Xiaoshen used to earn. The most important thing is that he can see the performance of Yipin Cinema every day in the future, and he doesn't have to spend money to buy tickets, there is nothing more satisfying for him, and he is willing to do such a thing without paying him.
With the current fame of the four of Ning Xiang, it is no better than those first-line superstars in later generations, and it is normal to hire full-time bodyguards, so Wang Xiang doesn't feel that there is anything wrong. However, such a high-standard treatment made Ning Xiang and Xiaoyun feel flattered, and they couldn't help but think of the sentence "my people" that Wang Xiang said.
Xiaocui has not been in a good mood since she came back, Ning Xiang asked her what was going on, she didn't say anything, and she couldn't help but shed tears if she asked too much, so everyone had to stop asking her.
Three days have passed, and sure enough, there is no news of Ergou. But Xiaocui's father and mother came to the door again, and Xiaocui did not show joy when her father and mother came. Instead, he hid behind Ning Xiang with some fear, which made Ning Xiang feel very confused.
"Miss Ning Xiang, we're here to pick up Xiaocui back."
As soon as Xiaocui's mother's words came out, Qing'er was filled with righteous indignation: "Xiaocui was arrested by the bad guys a few days ago, do you know!" How did you become a daddy! ”
She always felt that Xiaocui's father and mother were not very pleasing to the eye, and at first she thought it was because she was jealous of Xiaocui's good life, but now that she thinks about it, these two people are already hypocritical and treacherous, but because they are Xiaocui's parents, she is not easy to show too obviously. This time, Xiao Cui almost suffered from the accident, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it, and when I see them taking Xiao Cui as a matter of course, I can't help it, and I don't speak politely at all.
Xiaocui's father and mother seemed a little embarrassed when they heard Qing'er's words, and quickly nodded and said, "It's our negligence, we will definitely pay attention next time." ”
Although she was still unhappy in her heart, after all, she was Xiaocui's father, and Qing'er didn't have much to say, so she had to snort angrily.
"Xiaocui, come home with us."
Xiao Cui's mother said to Xiao Cui with a smile on her face, Xiao Cui's body that was hiding behind Ning Xiang trembled slightly, and she grabbed Ning Xiang's clothes tightly.
Ning Xiang glanced back at Xiao Cui suspiciously, what she saw from her eyes was sadness and panic, and she immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong Xiao Cui?" ”
Since Xiaocui was sold to Yicui Lou when she was young, she has been following Ningxiang, although the two are masters and servants, they are actually sisters and have a good relationship, so Ningxiang cares about Xiaocui's affairs very much.
Listening to Ning Xiang's questioning, Xiao Cui glanced at her father and mother as if she was afraid, and whispered, "I don't want to go back with them, I'm ...... I escaped on my own. ”
Escaped? Ning Xiang frowned, she felt strange before, since Xiao Cui followed her father and mother home, how could she suddenly appear in Chang'an and be kidnapped, and now when she heard her say this, she knew that Xiao Cui had escaped by herself, but why did she escape?
"Are they treating you badly?"
Xiao Cui shook her head and sobbed, "...... them They're going to marry me to a man who is dying, miss, I don't want to get married, I'm ...... I still want to follow you and serve you. As he spoke, he couldn't help crying.
Xiao Cuiniang's face sank when she heard Xiao Cui's words, and said: "What kind of person is about to die, that is the son of Zhang Yuanwai's family, Zhang Yuanwai is the richest family in our town, it is your blessing to be able to marry into their house, don't make a fuss, come back with me." ”
After speaking, she wanted to step forward to pull Xiaocui, how could Ning Xiang be willing to let her pull people, stretched out her hand to block Xiaocui, and said coldly: "Let's make things clear first." ”
The woman was suddenly unhappy, and said sharply: "Miss Ning Xiang, Xiaocui is my daughter, you don't have to worry about our family's affairs." ”
Ning Xiang said coldly: "Xiaocui is also my maid, and I naturally have to take care of her affairs." ”
"That was before, but I asked, Xiaocui is now a free body, not some of your maids."
"You...... As a parent, he married his daughter to a man who was about to die! ”
The woman said aggressively: "The matter of marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, what qualifications do others have to say more, and it is also such a reason when you go to the government, hurry up and go back with me." After speaking, he had to reach out again to pull Xiao Cui, who was hiding behind Ning Xiang.
"Parents' order, hum, I think you are probably not Xiaocui's parents at all!" (To be continued.) )
