Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Captives (Three Watches)
I didn't expect to have such an opportunity, Qiao Ran sighed with emotion, although I don't know whether Pei Xizhi's invitation was for Zhang Jie's face or her own face, but I had the opportunity to see the most famous painter of this era up close, and no one would refuse if I wanted to come. After sending Pei Xizhi away, Hongdou excitedly returned to the house with a painting worth a thousand gold, such a treasure can't be put away at will, it must be put away.
"Qiao Ran!"
Not long after sending Pei Xizhi away, someone called her outside the hospital.
Inside and outside the entire Xuanzhen Temple, there was no one who would call her by her name, Qiao Ran sighed helplessly, she had already heard the person coming, so she had to walk out.
Outside the hospital, Mrs. Fang was knocking on the door, and when she saw her coming, she said, "My family Xiuting ......."
"Second Madam Fang, I have already brought a message to the Pei family, Zhang Xie has not come back yet...... "Since it is very likely that Old Madam Qiao ate the hundred-year-old ginseng stained with her blood, and finally died, it can be seen that if her blood is not used correctly, she will still want human life."
At first, I thought that I was a panacea for all diseases, but now it seems that this indiscriminate bloodletting is not only a loss for itself, but also more likely to harm people's lives, so Qiao Ran naturally will not let bloodletting happen at will. If you are not sure, don't do it randomly, after all, life is at stake, and you can't joke.
"I'm back, I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on the city gate!" Second Lady Fang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her and walked out, ignoring Hongdou's exclamation, "You go with me, go see that Zhang Tianshi to save your life!" ”
This...... She couldn't shirk it any longer, Qiao Ran shook her head at the red bean who wanted to follow, and followed Second Lady Fang down the mountain.
"From which door?" In the carriage, Qiao Ran asked Second Lady Fang.
"West Gate." Second Mrs. Fang wiped the sweat from her face and anxiously urged the coachman who was hurrying: "Hurry up!" If it's delayed, I'll ask you. ”
The driver of the car shook his hand and threw up his whip as if he were dead.
Since the accident of the second lady, Mrs. is like crazy, and there are not hundreds of people who have been killed, but there are dozens, if he doesn't play with his life, I'm afraid that he will be the next one to be killed.
When he rushed all the way to the West City Gate, Qiao Ran boasted that he was not a pampered person, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was lying on the side of the car window gasping for breath.
Second Madam Fang didn't realize it, and poked her head out to ask the slave guarding the city gate: "Where did Zhang Tianshi and his party go?" ”
The servant pointed out and said, "It's out of the city again." ”
"It's really interesting, going in and out of the city is like having fun." Second Madam Fang gritted her teeth and shouted, "Chase me!" ”
"It's useless," Qiao Ran grabbed the window of the car, and hurriedly turned to the second lady and said, "Their horses are all good horses that travel thousands of miles every day, and you can't catch up at all." "It's not that she belittles the Fang family's things, but except for people like Master Qiao, who pay attention to travel and have so much money that they are scattered, the horses used in ordinary people's carriages are best just high-quality horses, and it is simply a fool's dream to compare their strength with such good horses who travel thousands of miles a day!
"I don't care, chase me!" Second Madam Fang kicked the coachman, "If you can't catch up with Zhang Tianshi today, don't blame me for selling your mother-in-law and boy's family!" ”
The coachman's face changed greatly, and he didn't care if the horse could stand it, so the whip in his hand hit it like crazy.
At this time, the horse was no different from being frightened, and with a neighing he broke through the city gate, provoking the guards guarding the gate behind him to rush over.
A carriage ran in front, and the guards chased behind. Qiao Ran frowned, even though she knew that Second Madam Fang wouldn't listen, she still couldn't help but say, "Second Madam Fang, do you know that you have caused a big disaster today?" ”
"It's a big deal to go in and eat a few days in prison!" Second Mrs. Fang didn't care, her eyes were full of madness, "I want Xiuting to live!" ”
Qiao Ran was silent for a while, watching the guards guarding the city gate getting farther and farther away from them, and couldn't help but sigh.
If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and the guards don't dare to chase people like crazy, the logo of the Fang family is engraved on the carriage, and those guards should have recognized it. Today, not to mention whether you can catch up with Zhang Jie, that is, if you catch up with Zhang Jie, when you return to the city, you will have to give an explanation to the government office.
There was not even a figure on the official road ahead, Qiao Ran sighed and shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" ”
"I don't care, you chase me!" Second Mrs. Fang kicked the coachman, and in a hurry, she lifted the curtain and sat outside, snatched the whip from the coachman's hand, and whipped the horse even more wildly.
"Second Lady Fang......" The wind rustled in her ears all the way, and Qiao Ran's voice in the carriage came.
Second Lady Fang shook her horsewhip and said angrily: "Of course you are not in a hurry, you and Xiuting will not deal with each other!" "She is the only one who is anxious, and she doesn't even care about the pretense of being a father for a while. People say that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, but I didn't expect this to be the same father. The treasure she gave birth to in October was pregnant with her own womb, and only she hurt herself, the more Mrs. Fang thought about it, the more sad she became, and the horsewhip in her hand was like a flower.
"Stop!" Qiao Ran shouted.
Second Lady Fang snorted coldly: "I won't listen to you this time!" ”
I don't know if it's because the carriage is a little old, Qiao Ran grabbed the somewhat loose window, and a bad feeling arose, and when the corner of his eyes flickered, his face changed greatly.
"There's an ambush!"
Two cold rays of light came against the carriage, and there was a violent collision with the wall of the carriage, and sparks splashed everywhere.
The second lady Fang and the coachman who were sitting outside obviously faced this ambush, and their faces were already frightened, and the carriage stopped suddenly, Qiao Ran only felt that her hand was loosened, and with a "click", the loose window was completely separated from the carriage, and she also fell backwards because of the force of this emergency stop.
Then the back was empty, and the whole person rolled off the carriage with the loose trunk board of the car.
There was a hot pain on the arms and legs on the body, the ground was not flat, I thought it was a bruise, although this body was disease-free, but it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a "weak woman".
But it's a good thing to feel the hot pain, at least it's just a flesh injury, and none of them broke their legs or feet.
When Qiao Ran endured the pain and got up from the ground, he saw several masked people flying up the mountain and walking against the wall, and then kicked down the frightened coachman, dragged the second lady Fang who was sitting in front of the carriage and flew away from the wall again.
Qiao Ran was dumbfounded, and even forgot about the pain for a while, and when he reacted, he limped onto the carriage with no left on all sides and said to the coachman who was already stunned: "Did your wife offend someone?" ”
How could there be such a person who seemed to be not weak in martial arts to rob Second Lady Fang?
The coachman first shook his head, then nodded, and said: "Because of the second lady's matter, Mrs. has offended a lot of people, like the medical hall has been smashed several times, this morning a few women on the street were saying that my young lady is not good, and Mrs. was angry and arrested those women and beat them, and ...... "In short, the people who have offended Second Mrs. Fang these days have gone to the sea, who knows which one did it?"
"Where can those people hire such masters?" Qiao Ran hurriedly raised her hand to stop the coachman's verbosity, "Catch up and take a look!" ”
The coachman was also anxious, so he immediately flicked his horsewhip and followed: he took the second lady out, if he went back alone and lost the second lady, let alone him, even his mother-in-law and children would be sent to the official together.
