Naturally, in the face of Li Jingjue, a little ghost, Young Master Ruan would not admit it. He sneered, "Do you think that your sister is the best girl in the world, and all men in the world should like her?" ”

Li Jingjue shook her head and asked seriously, "Don't you like it?" ”

Ruan Mingyu instinctively wanted to refute, but the words came to his lips suddenly, and he finally couldn't speak. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the head again: "...... Little ghost, you know what it means to like, it's appreciation, appreciation! Do you understand? ”

Li Jingjue dodged and scratched her head, thought for a while, and said, "...... Oh, it seems to be too. ”

Ruan Mingyu suppressed Li Jingjue's whimsical thoughts, was satisfied, and added: "When I see your sister, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Got it. Are we ready? ”

"There's still a day to go." Ruan Mingyu looked out of the car window, and his mood became excited, "Your sister should have arrived in the capital and waited for us." ”

Ruan Mingyu returned to Beijing on July 2, and he arranged Li Jingjue in the courtyard where he lived, and went directly to the store—if Chang Yong and the others had already returned to Beijing, it would be safest to go to the store to find someone.

"Shopkeeper Chang is back?" He threw the reins of the horse to the guy at the door and asked directly.

"I came back yesterday. Now I'm reporting to the master in the side hall. ”

It's getting down to business. Ruan Mingyu turned his heels and decided to wait in the living room. As he walked, he instructed the man to serve a pot of tea, and then asked, "Where is the arrangement for the students who came back from the shopkeeper?" ”

"It's arranged in Cuizhuxuan, but the young master wants to pass him over?"

"Cuizhuxuan?" Ruan Mingyu waved his hand, "The girl I asked, is it arranged in 'Hanmei' or 'Youlan'?" ”

Tianqiao Hall is divided into two departments for male and female students, and the men are arranged in the east of the "Cuizhu Xuan" and "Songbai Xuan" two courtyards; The women are arranged in the west of the "Hanmei Garden" and "Youlan Garden", and the nearly ten acres of the main hall in the middle is the "Tianqiao Hall" workshop where the students practice daily.

The guy said, "Yesterday, I came back with the shopkeeper Chang, there was only one male disciple, but no female disciple." ”

Ruan Mingyu stopped, turned around and asked, "No female disciples?" Are you sure? ”

Seeing that the third young master's eyes were not good, the young man hurriedly lowered his head and said seriously, "It was arranged by the little one personally, there is only one male student, named Ye Qing." It was arranged in the No. 3 room of Cuizhuxuan Tianzi, and there were no new personnel in the rest. ”

Ruan Mingyu turned around and walked to the side hall where his father and Chang Yong were discussing. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't received a letter from Li Jingshan for nearly a month, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

The subordinates who were on an errand in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion rarely saw their leisurely posture of the Third Young Master, and there was even a moment when they were in a hurry.

Ruan Mingyu saw the door of the side hall open from a distance, and his heart was a little calmer, it didn't seem to be a big deal, maybe he was nervous.

He slowed down and walked to the small flower shop next to the side hall. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to wait there for Chang Yong to come out, so as to ask Li Jingshan's whereabouts. Until this time, he still only thought that Li Jingshan was delayed by something on the road, and he didn't know anything about the bandits they encountered on the road.

When he arrived at the door of Huaxuan, he just heard his father's slightly helpless tone: "...... Life is not as good as it should be, and it is often picked, nine, which is also providential. That girl's life should be like this, but it can't. Just send someone to appease his family, that's all. ”

Ruan Mingyu's mind buzzed, and there was a moment of blankness, and only then did he come back to his senses, and the person had already rushed into the side hall.

Ruan Jinghong and Chang Yong both turned their heads in surprise, and when they saw that it was him, Chang Yong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Ruan Jinghong also showed surprise, "It turned out to be Ah Yu, you are finally back!" Have you gone back to your ancestral home to see your mother and grandmother? ”

Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then he calmed down and said, "Not yet." Dad, Uncle Chang, what you just said, which girl's life should be like this? What's going on? ”

When Chang Yong heard this, he knew that Ruan Mingyu had not received the letter from him, and his heart was going to be bad.

Ruan Jinghong didn't notice his son's strange expression, nodded and said, "So you don't know yet." Uncle Chang and they encountered bandits on the road, and the girl in your store who went to Beijing to study was taken captive. Now I'm only afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious. It happens to be your subordinate, you should appease her family more, and don't treat others lightly. ”

Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a long time before asking, "What do you mean...... Everything points to disaster? ”

"Ah Yu, why are you ......" Ruan Jinghong frowned.

Chang Yong hurriedly said to the big owner, "I haven't had time to report this matter to the third young master yet, so it's better to let my subordinates explain it to him in detail before making a decision." ”

Ruan Jinghong's discussion was over, so he nodded and walked out of the side hall, leaving the hot potato to the right-hand man and his son to worry about.

Chang Yong told Ruan Mingyu in detail about their distress, and finally ruthlessly told the army about finding the body of the humiliated girl, and also said it carefully.

Ruan Mingyu listened in a daze, there was no expression on his face, only two thin lips were tightly pursed, and only a thin line remained.

After a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Fierce and auspicious...... Is that what Uncle Chang meant? ”

Chang Yong's low tone made Chang Yong frightened, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, you mourn." I know that Li Yatou is a good girl and a good seedling, but it's a pity...... also blames his subordinates for their poor protection, and his subordinates are willing to be punished. If I want to compensate the Li family, I am willing to do a little bit. But this is over, and you must ......"

"Did you find her body?" Ruan Mingyu suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"This ...... Never. Chang Yong responded, "It's just that Bifeng Ravine is mountainous and dangerous, and you can throw corpses at any location......"

"To live to see people, to die to see corpses." Ruan Mingyu stood up abruptly and walked out, "I'm going to find her!" ”

"Young Master, Third Young Master!" Chang Yong was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to him to stop him, "Not to mention that you are back home now, the old lady and the lady can't let you go to danger alone; Even if you really go, you can't find anyone in the mess between the two armies! ”

Ruan Mingyu was angry for a while, and now he was drunk by Chang Yong, stunned on the ground, and slowly calmed down, only to feel that the road ahead was blank, and he didn't know where to go.

He stood for a moment, wiped his face, and said to Chang Yong tiredly: "Thank you Uncle Chang, this matter...... Let me think about it. ”

Chang Yong knew that the three young masters acted calmly and thoroughly, and would never be impulsive, so he let go of half of his heart first; However, he also knows that he is decisive and decisive, and he will never look back on what he decides, and the other half of his heart is still hanging. I had to persuade in a roundabout way: "The third young master has been away from home for three years, and I haven't seen Mrs. Tai and Mrs. yet, so why don't you go back to the house first and have a look, it's not too late to make plans." ”

Ruan Mingyu hooked the corners of his mouth slightly sarcastically, he naturally knew the meaning of Chang Yong's words. With his mother's sticky and spicy nature, if he returned to the old mansion and wanted to find out, it would be the price of peeling off the skin—just as he had decided to go to Minzhou three years ago.

He shook his head and smiled, "I'm tired today, Uncle Lao Chang will go and tell my father, I will go back to see the second elder tomorrow morning, and say hello to the old lady." ”

Chang Yong sighed, had no choice but to give up, and when he looked up again, he saw that Ruan Mingyu had already walked out of the side hall and went straight back to his own courtyard.

Ruan Mingyu went back to the courtyard and went straight into the house to lock himself in the room. Now that he was alone in silence, the shocking news seemed to enter the center of his mind and became concrete. However, my heart became more and more empty.

He wanted to force himself to think calmly, but his mind was full of messy pictures, and for a while it was a letter written by Li Jingshan in Juanxiu font, as if she was sitting under the window and telling him about the scenery along the way, and for a while he was thinking about Chang Yong's fierce and auspicious and the corpse of the girl who was abused...... Then the girl's face suddenly became Li Jingshan's face!

He was so shocked that he knocked over the pen holder on the bookcase, and the snapping sound made him jump. He looked at the sandalwood pen holder scattered in several sections on the ground in distraction, and suddenly realized one thing: Li Jingshan may never come back.

This hindsight cognition was formed, and his heart immediately seemed to be stabbed, and the pain made him grasp the placket of his chest: such a fresh life, such a smart character, say no, is it gone......

The images before the separation are overwhelming: she says, "If you are an eagle, I will fly high with you; If you are a dragon, I will follow you into the sea";

She said, "I want to use my skills to help you and make you successful." and you only want to occupy me and imprison me";

She said, "The young master didn't come to deliver anything to me in person!"

Yes, he and she didn't even get a good goodbye!

The gambling books were consumed with the fragrance of tea, which was only common at that time.

Ruan Mingyu closed his eyes deeply, and the pain in his heart was even worse. When he opened his eyes again, there was a clear light in his eyes: he was going to find her. He's going to get her back, no matter what she becomes—

Li Jingshan has the courage to stand side by side with him and soar together; How could he not have the courage to greet her openly by his side?

Once he thought it through, Ruan Mingyu felt that his eyes suddenly brightened, and his heart was no longer hesitant. The three young men of the Ruan family, who were strategizing and clear and resolute, returned to him.

He opened the door and called for someone to come in and clean up the table, polish the pen, and lay out the plan in detail. When everything is arranged, the fourth watch has passed. However, he did not feel sleepy, stared at the starry sky outside the window, and remembered the bright aura of starlight in the girl's dark eyes.

Ruan Mingyu looked at the starlight, outlining the familiar outline in the dark blue sky, and there was only one strong thought in his heart: no matter what family rules and prohibitions he has, as long as she comes back safely, this girl will be decided!

The stars on Bifeng Mountain are also as bright as gems.

Everyone in the firewood room had already fallen asleep, but Li Jingshan leaned against the window and closed her eyes to recuperate, but her ears were propped up, always paying attention to the sound outside.

The army under the mountain has been besieging for more than half a month, but because this village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountain bandits have forced out a tyrannical and banditry spirit, and they are fierce and stubborn, so that they cannot attack it for a long time.

It is the recent frequent attacks under the mountain, and the bandits on the mountain are gradually unable to withstand it. After the attack, Li Jingshan and her sisters often saw from the small window that more and more of the wounded were carried into the stockade by the mountain bandits.

The delivery of meals is becoming more and more irregular, and the last time they have a serious meal was the night before yesterday. While the two people delivering the food came and went in a hurry, Li Jingshan heard their discussion.

"That Chu Tiankuo is getting more and more ruthless, and he is fighting tricky enough. If this continues, we will have to finish the game sooner or later. ”

"Do you think that General Zhenyuan's name fell from the sky? I heard that in the early years, he led 500 cavalry, so he dared to challenge Beirongsha Town. Shoot down the battle flag at the head of the city with one arrow! ”

The voice gradually faded away, "Then what should we do, let's talk ......"

Li Jingshan quickly drank the unpalatable wild vegetable porridge and collected half of the multigrain bun. Since then, she has been keeping an eye on what's going on outside.
