Chapter Ninety-Three: I'm True
Seeing this, Lu Yuancheng's face became even darker, and he chased after him with his legs between the horse's belly, and shouted angrily: "You don't want that fifty guan anymore." ”
Fifty runs!
Wait a minute! Why do the mountain bandits know about fifty runs?
"Phew." In the next moment, Wen Shu slowed down his horse slightly, and a ridiculous thought came to his mind.
No way!
She turned her head in astonishment, and saw a man and a horse galloping behind her. Although the sky was dark and I couldn't see the face clearly, I knew who it was just by looking at the momentum and the tone of voice that I always spoke.
She was slightly stunned, and then shouted weakly, "Big, ..... adults"
Lu Yuancheng rushed forward, and as soon as he looked at his face, he scolded with his head covered his face: "I asked you to stop, why don't you stop!" ”
Wen Shu looked up at him, with a little grievance in his words, "How do I know it's you, it's just a thief chasing you in the middle of the night, can you not run." ”
Lu Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and then reprimanded: "Then you can't hear my voice." ”
"Running for your life, who still pays attention to the sound."
"Then why did you stop again?"
Speaking of this, Wen Shu immediately straightened his waist, "It's not that the fifty guan shouted well, you say, if you shouted the fifty guan earlier, I wouldn't have stopped earlier." ”
Lu Yuancheng was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was about to speak, but Lu Xingwan, who was bumped up in the carriage, finally came back to his senses, struggled to poke his head out of the curtain, and shouted weakly: "Brother." ”
Under the bright white light, the large black and red mark on her left face startled Lu Yuancheng, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, and while helping Lu Xingwan, he turned his head and asked Wen Shu: "What's wrong with her face?" ”
"It's okay, in order to prevent the thieves from seeing the color and trying to be unfavorable to the big girl, I specially painted it before getting out of the car."
Hearing that it was fake, Lu Yuancheng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the blood marks on Wen Shu's face, and asked, "Then your face is also fake." ”
Speaking of this, Wen Shu rolled his eyes angrily: "I'm real!" ”
Lu Yuancheng, who originally wanted to reprimand her for two sentences, swallowed back the words when he heard this, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not for the sake of picking this." Wen Shu casually pointed to the misty valley branch on the side.
Lu Yuancheng took the opportunity to look over, only to find that the thing that had been shining in front of the car turned out to be a few branches, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"What is this? Where did it come from? ”
"Picked from the mountains." Wen Shu replied casually, then looked at the darkness behind him and said, "My lord, you just came from behind, can you see Steward Liu and those guards?" Are they okay? ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yuancheng's brows furrowed a little more, "More than a dozen people have been injured, but the mountain bandits have all been captured, what is going on, you can tell me carefully." ”
Hearing this, Wen Shu did not answer immediately, but asked him instead: "Then are we still in a hurry?" ”
Lu Yuancheng didn't understand what she meant, but he still replied: "There is a plain ten miles ahead, and when the people behind catch up, I will go there to rest for one night, and then continue to hurry after dawn." ”
"Oh." Wen Shu responded, didn't speak again, but took off the cloak on his body and put it back on the pale Lu Xingwan, and then told the story of the matter.
Lu Yuancheng listened, his eyes looked at the ill-fitting clothes on her body, and after Wen Shu finished speaking, he interjected: "Why are you wearing silver and red clothes, your own clothes?" ”
When he asked, a little worry flashed in his heart, for fear that this girl would be bullied by thieves.
"Oh, I accidentally got wet and took it off while exploring the path, and it was a little cold." At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew, and she shivered excitedly, and then shrunk her neck and said, "My lord, that.... Can you let me into the carriage and report to you, it's really cold. ”
Lu Yuancheng nodded indifferently.
Wen Shu was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and climbed into the car, and Yinhong and Luliu hurriedly moved back to make room for her.
After entering the carriage, the mountain wind was blocked a lot, Wen Shu's body was much warmer, and when Lord Lu came, the burden on her body was also lifted, so she was in a good mood and said the second half.
After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps behind me. Wen Shu turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Steward Liu and a group of guards escorting the mountain bandits over, and to her surprise, some people still carried wild boars in their hands.
Several of the guards even discussed in a loud voice who would kill the pig and who would roast it.
She looked at Lu Yuancheng in a daze, as if asking what was going on.
But Lord Lu obviously didn't have this interest, and when he saw that everyone was coming, he immediately asked Lu Xingwan to sit down, and then turned over and got on the horse by himself, looking like he was going to leave.
Seeing this, Wen Shu was anxious, and hurriedly called out to him: "My lord, we still lack a car driver." ”
She has returned the cloak to Miss Lu, she can't come back, and Miss Lu is also cold.
Lu Yuancheng was slightly stunned, then turned his head and nodded a guard who could catch the car to step forward to catch the car.
The dark night is no longer deserted because of this lively group.
The sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, talking, and pigs are so powerful that even the beasts on the mountain will have to retreat when they hear it.
The bandits had their hands cut off behind their backs, tied with a long rope, and dragged forward like sold sheep. Two guards on horseback rushed to the front to be parallel to Lu Yuancheng, and told what they had seen on the mountain.
When he heard that the work that the bandits had asked these guards to help with was private mining, Lu Yuancheng's brows furrowed.
Although Wen Shu had also said before that the bandits asked the guards to help with the work, she didn't know what it was because she hadn't seen Tie Kuang.
"It is said that it was ordered by a man named Peng Ye, this Peng Ye will come here every once in a while to check the amount of iron, if he does not hand over enough according to the regulations, Peng Ye will kill people, how much worse, how much he kills."
Lu Yuancheng pondered for a moment and said, "According to what you said, the mountain bandits arrested you up the mountain just to help them work." ”
"No, it's more than that." Wen Shu listened from behind, and hurriedly interjected: "I once heard Boss Shan say with my own ears that he arrested us because of Peng Ye's instructions, and he also said that if he wants to move us, Peng Ye must see it first." But Master Peng is not on the mountain, so how did he know that our group would pass by, and let people ambush it in advance? ”
"Before that, the guards were poisoned, and all kinds of signs show that these things were premeditated, and our whereabouts, this Peng Ye knew it early on. He must also know the identity of the eldest girl, but he may not have told these thieves the truth, so these thieves just regarded them as ordinary rich businessmen, thinking about looting some property and taking some people to work by the way. ”
She had thought about these things on the mountain, but there were still a few things she didn't understand at the time, and now she listened to the guards' additions to make the whole line clear.
Lu Yuancheng glanced back at her, looking a little surprised, as if he didn't expect her to say this, but listening to the two sentences she added later, this analysis is not impossible.
Originally, he was suspicious of Wan'er's abduction, if things were really as she said, that Peng Ye was the mastermind behind the scenes, so why should he not get along with the Hou Mansion and Wan'er?
What was his purpose in letting people kidnap his late son? Or maybe he's not really behind it, but someone else...........
