Chapter 84: Hostage Kidnapping

Today is Li Li's Qingyue Poetry Society's gathering, Qingyue Poetry Society is a poetry society spontaneously formed by the children of more than a dozen official eunuchs, holding regular gatherings, this morning they went to the outing outside the city to write poems, by the way invited a few young women to go together, Cui Yiyun, the daughter of Cui Jiao, and Cui Qiao's daughter Cui Yanyan and Cui Liuliu, and then there are Dugu sisters, Changsun Yun, the daughter of Changsun Quanxu, and Li Siqi, the sister of Li Jiao and the county lord Li Siqi, but on the way back, they encountered the Tang Army arresting human traffickers.

The women sat in two carriages, Dugu Mingyue and the three sisters of the Cui family sat in the carriage in front, and Dugu Mingzhu, Shangguan Yun and Li Siqi sat in the latter carriage.

The sudden change stunned everyone, and for a moment, there was a big chaos, and Dugu Mingyue on the other carriage saw that her sister was arrested, she was so anxious that she wanted to rush out of the carriage, but she was caught by the three sisters of the Cui family.

Li Jiao was furious, pointed at the bearded man and shouted, "You let her go!" ”

"Who are you?" Hu Shang asked with a roll of his eyes.

Li Qingan immediately shouted: "Who has nothing to do with you, let her go, I'll let you go!" ”

Unexpectedly, several officials and eunuchs didn't react, and they scolded one after another: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is His Royal Highness the King of Guangping, the eldest grandson of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Li Qingan couldn't help but sigh secretly, why don't these people understand? Sure enough, the Hu man smirked, "It turned out to be a royal nobleman, that's great." ”

He suddenly used the dagger hard, and Dugu Mingzhu's chest suddenly oozed blood, and he stared at Li Qingan with blood-red eyes and yelled: "Dog officers and soldiers, get out of me!" I don't hear it. ”

Everyone exclaimed, Li Jiao was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted to Li Qingan: "General Li, you guys go quickly!" If you don't leave, you will die. ”

Li Qingan turned around and gave his subordinates a look, and ordered, "You go back first!" ”

The soldiers turned their horses and galloped back, but Li Qingan stood far away, but did not leave.

Li Jiao hurriedly said again: "They have already left, you are about to let the people go." ”

"Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Hu Ren smiled and said, "It's okay to release these women, you come over and take me hostage, and I will release them immediately." ”

"This ......" Li Jiao's face was embarrassed, how could this be?

His guards also scolded, "Dare to be a thief, dare to bully my prince, are you impatient?" ”

"You let my sister go, and I'll be your hostage."

Dugu Mingyue finally broke free from the hands of the Cui sisters, rushed over, and begged: "You let my sister go!" I'm willing to be your hostage. ”

Dugu Mingzhu screamed, "Sister, don't!" Go back quickly. ”

Li Jiao's lips moved, he didn't say anything in the end, the Hu man glanced at Lonely Mingyue, saw that she had a noble temperament and was as beautiful as a flower, guessing that it was a princess or a princess, and he was about to agree, when suddenly he saw Li Qing'an coming over again, so he yelled: "Dog officer!" Why don't you roll yet? ”

Li Qingan jumped off the horse, slowly stepped forward and said with a smile: "If I leave, how can you leave Guanzhong, so be it!" I'll be your hostage, let go of the little lady in my hand, and I'll send you out of Fengxiang, how about it? ”

Dugu Mingyue glanced at Li Qing'an gratefully, she didn't expect Li Qing'an to come forward, the Hu man snorted and said, "Why can you send me out of Fengxiang?" ”

Li Qingan smiled faintly, "I am the new Nine Gate Inspector, and I have the right to release you from Fengxiang." ”

"You're the new Nine Gate Inspector?" Hu Ren asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's down, let go of the little lady, I'll send you out of Fengxiang."

As soon as Hu Ren thought about it, he nodded and said, "Okay!" You can be my hostage. ”

Li Qingan was about to step forward, when Hu Ren shouted: "Throw away your weapons and take off your clothes!" ”

"Huh! You're pretty smart. ”

Li Qingan laughed and chatted with him about family life, while taking off his shirt, throwing away all his weapons, and naked, he smiled again: "There are women here, so don't take off your pants!" ”

He raised his hand and walked up, Hu Ren glanced at him vigilantly, and moved the dagger to Dugu Mingzhu's neck, "You stay away from me, don't move, otherwise, I will kill her!" ”

Li Qingan got into the carriage and said with a smile: "Now you can release people!" ”

Hu Ren snorted, "One can only be replaced by one, there are three on my side, you can choose one!" ”

Without waiting for Li Qing'an to speak, Li Jiao suddenly shouted: "Put the yellow dress!" General Li, put the little lady in the yellow dress first. ”

Dugu Mingyue looked at Li Jiao angrily, how could he be so selfish?

Li Qingan glanced inside the carriage, and saw that there were two little ladies crowded in the corner behind Hu Shang, both of whom were trembling with fright, one was the eldest Sun Yun in a red dress, he had seen it, and the other was a little lady in a yellow dress, but he had never seen it, he shook his head, "No!" Put the little lady in your hand first. ”

Hu Ren looked at the dead bodies of his companions on the ground, and was very afraid of Li Qing'an in his heart, where did he dare to let go of Dugu Mingzhu, so he shouted: "Little lady in a yellow dress, you can go!" ”

The little lady in the yellow dress is Li Li's sister, Li Siqi, the county lord of Hezheng, she trembled, slowly climbed out of the carriage, walked softly for more than a dozen steps, fainted all of a sudden, and several guards grabbed her and rescued her.

At this time, Dugu Mingyue bit her lip and said, "You let my sister go, and I will be your hostage." ”

"No way!" Hu Ren glanced at Qing'an who was careless, shook his head resolutely, and said, "I can't let your sister go, you can only change to another little lady." ”

"Oh well! You let her go, and I'll be your hostage. ”

Soon, Changguan Yun also trembled and climbed out of the carriage, Dugu Mingyue didn't say a word, got into the carriage, she held her sister's hand tightly, and glanced at Li Qingan gratefully.

Li Qingan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hu, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Drive! Go to Fengxiang. ”

Li Jiao gave the coachman a look, and the coachman had no choice but to drive west, at this time, Li Jiao's chief guard hurriedly said: "Little prince, we can take a detour to inform the Xianyang garrison to intercept them." ”

"Nope! Why intercept? ”

Li Jiao watched the carriage go farther and farther away with his hands behind his back, and gradually turned into a small black dot, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't he very competent? Just let him take care of it himself. ”

........

"Brother Hu, you let the little lady go first, let her sister bandage the wound, it will kill if it flows so much."

Li Qingan always put his hand on the top of his head, he smiled with a lovely smile and said softly: "Actually, you and I have no enmity, and your human trafficking is not a capital crime, what about me!" I'm just doing a routine, even if I let you go, I won't be guilty, Brother Hu, let's make a deal, let go of their sisters, and I promise to let you leave Guanzhong safely. ”

Hu Ren shook his head and said, "You Han people, all of you are duplicitous, I won't believe you." ”

Having said that, he also slowly let go of Dugu Mingzhu and let her sister carry her over, but the dagger was always on her body.

The blood on Dugu Mingzhu's chest had already coagulated, but blood beads oozed from her neck, Mingyue hurriedly took out a hand towel and carefully bandaged her sister.

Dugu Mingzhu's face was pale, weak and weak, and he stared at Li Qing'an blankly.

Li Qing'an's eyes flashed on the dagger in Hu Ren's hand, and he smiled again: "In the next thousand Niu Wei Zhonglang will be Li Qilang, may I ask Brother Hu's surname, and I will also call it." ”

"You can call me Bamur."

"Oh! Brother Bamur, in fact, you are shrewd and capable, very quick-witted, and a good talent, so why should you be a human trafficker, what a pity! ”

"What kind of human trafficker, I was originally an officer in Kangguo, the army was defeated by the big cannibals, so I became a merchant, specializing in buying and selling silver and silk, I just can't get used to seeing the girls in Kangguo go to the Tang Dynasty, so I caught some Chang'an women to go to Kangguo to sell wine."

Dugu Mingyue next to her said angrily: "You Hu people are so unreasonable, Hu Niang came to the east of their own free will, but you arrested Chang'an women to a foreign country, separated them from their parents, and lived a desolate life, don't you have a daughter?" ”

"My daughter was also abducted to Datang, and her whereabouts are still unknown." Bamur said gloomily.

Dugu Mingyue was stunned for a while, and after a while, she sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry!" ”

"Brother Bamur, tell me your daughter's name, and I'll have the brothers find her for you."

"Forget it! It's been fifteen years, where do you go to check, it is estimated that she is already married. ”

"How old is Brother Bamur?"

.........

The carriage walked unhurriedly on the official road, the atmosphere inside the carriage was no longer the initial tension and hostility, Bamur's dagger had deviated a foot away from Mingzhu's neck, and he seemed to have forgotten that the three of them were his hostages.

At this moment, the carriage rested on a big rock, the carriage jolted violently, the four people in the carriage were upside down, and Dugu Mingzhu had a pain in his chest and groaned in pain.

"Mingzhu, it doesn't matter to you!"

Li Qing'an hurriedly stepped forward to visit, and at this moment of lightning, he threw Bamur down on one side, grabbed his wrist holding the dagger tightly with his left hand, and then grabbed his neck with his right hand, pressing him under him, and he grabbed his neck with his big hand like iron tongs, tightening it tighter and tighter.

The sudden change stunned the Dugu sisters, and it took them a long time to react, Dugu Mingyue screamed, and was so frightened that she hugged her sister and hid tightly by the door.

Bamur was struggling desperately, the ** of survival made his strength extremely strong, he was like a beast, roaring in a low voice, his left hand tried his best to break Li Qing'an's iron tongs, and his dagger was raised inch by inch.

Beads of sweat came out of Li Qing'an's face, and the barrier of the seat prevented him from using all his strength, and he shouted, "Jump off the carriage!" ”

Dugu Mingyue bit her lip tightly, she pushed open the car door suddenly, rolled out of the carriage with her sister in her arms, the hostage's escape made Bamur extremely angry, he roared, and tried his best to stab Li Qing'an's face, but the power on his wrist suddenly disappeared, his wrist was pulled by Li Qing'an's hand and stabbed into his chest, with a scream, the cold dagger was slammed into Bamur's chest.

Bamur stiffened, his strength quickly disappeared, his eyes stared blankly at the roof of the carriage, the hand holding the dagger loosened, and Li Qingan slowly let go of his hand.

At this moment, the fierce hooves of the cavalry sounded in the distance.

..........

At dusk, Li Qing'an escorted the Dugu sisters back to the house, due to blood loss, Mingzhu's face was pale and she had no strength to speak.

Dugu Mingyue didn't speak all the way, but when Li Qingan was about to say goodbye, she bit her lip lightly and said in a low voice: "General Li..... Thank you! ”

Li Qingan arched his hand and smiled: "I am the Nine Gate Patrol Envoy, no matter who it is, I will save it, this is my duty, Miss Mingyue, please don't take it to heart." ”

He turned over on his horse, waved his hand at Mingzhu and smiled: "Mingzhu, rest well and recuperate, I'll come to see your blood smudge makeup in a few days." ”

"Brother Li, you must come to see me."

"I will!"

Li Qingan smiled at Mingyue again, urged the horse to leave, and soon disappeared into the distance.

"Sister, he's good, right?" Mingzhu saw that Li Qingan was walking away, so he asked with a quiet smile.

Dugu Mingyue glanced at Li Qing'an's back and sighed softly.
