Chapter 457: A Thrilling Night
The Praetorian Army had stepped up patrols in the streets, where the flames of torches could be seen jumping in the darkness and the sound of soldiers could be heard.
Ye Biao is a clever person, and he decisively led the two of them to give up taking the big road and take the small road instead. The green lotus has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he is not familiar with the alleys of Shangdu; Autumn geese are even more unfamiliar. Although the child is young, he sleeps very deeply, and he has a weight of dozens of catties, and his physical strength has reached the limit for Qiu Yan and Lu He.
Ye Biao led them through the extremely simple alleys. But it's so late, and some people in this kind of place still have lanterns lit in front of their homes.
Green Lotus couldn't help but ask, "What kind of place is this?" ”
Ye Biao didn't answer: "Let's go, ask so much." ”
Green Lotus insisted on asking: "Don't say I'm not leaving." ”
Ye Biao persuaded: "Tired, right? I'll carry it for a while. Without saying anything, he untied the child's straps and carried them on his back. Jin'er was tossed uncomfortably, and after a few words, Qiu Yan immediately touched her back to comfort her and make her quiet.
Lu Lotus said again: "Is this Hualiu Lane?" The tone of affirmation was very unpleasant to hear.
Ye Biao lowered his voice and said: "The forbidden army is also a man, if they are strictly guarded here, after a long time, won't they cause trouble for themselves?" So the guards here should be the weakest. Rest assured, can you go now? ”
Qiu Yan played a round and said: "Green Lotus, let's take this road as a last resort, let's hurry up." Don't worry too much. ”
Lu He wanted to ask Ye Biao again why he was so familiar with the road here, but in the end he suppressed his anger and continued to follow Ye Biao.
I'm really afraid of something. After leaving Hualiu Lane, when I turned in the direction of the palace, I met people who patrolled the night watch, and several people couldn't dodge and collided head-on.
"Who! Come here! The beater said angrily.
Ye Biao held down Qiu Yan in the dark with one hand, but walked forward with the green lotus with the other hand, and scolded as he walked: "Zhang Mazi, what are you shouting, it's me." Ye Biao. Then he stopped in the shadows and hugged the green lotus tightly in front of him, blocking the harness.
"It's you kid again." Zhang Mazi raised the lantern and shook it, scolding: "Mom, take a woman out so late, beware of your green lotus castrating you." ”
Ye Biao said: "If you don't say it, she won't know." Let's have a drink together. ”
Zhang Mazi smiled: "You kid has a conscience." Let's go! Tonight's investigation is strict, and when you encounter the forbidden army, you won't be as good at talking as me. ”
Ye Biao said: "Got it." Thanks a lot! ”
When Zhang Mazi walked away, Lu He pinched a piece of meat on Ye Biao's arm and twisted it hard. The pain was so painful that Ye Biao shouted: "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!" Tap! ”
Qiu Yan was afraid that the two would make trouble and bring Zhang Mazi back, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Don't fight, it's important to hurry." ”
The green lotus was angry, and he increased his strength and twisted it for a while before letting go.
Ye Biao hurriedly took the business as a shield: "It's two streets away, let's go." ”
Qiu Yan saw that Lu Lotus began to wipe her tears one by one, knowing that her mood must be very uncomfortable, and she was still urging her to leave quickly, which was really impersonal.
Ye Biao hurriedly coaxed the green lotus: "Oh, don't worry, I have never brought any women out." How expensive is that! I don't have that spare money, do I? It's just nonsense when I usually drink and brag with them. Can't be taken seriously. If he wants to believe this kind of drunken words, I can't help it. ”
Green Lotus wiped her tears with her sleeve as if she were relieved of her hatred: "Madam, let's go quickly." ”
Qiu Yan walked past Ye Biao, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ye Biao with the corner of her eye, although it was very dark on the way, she always felt that Ye Biao looked at people with undisguised greed, hoping that there would be no accidents. She lifted the child with both hands, adjusted her posture, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.
Ye Biao really wanted to make a big profit in his heart, whether it was robbing money or sex, he was sure that Qiu Yan still had silver on her, and her appearance and figure were also passable. It's just that there is Green Lotus and two children, and he is really not sure that he will not make a sound. If it is still in normal times, no one will come out to save people in the middle of the night because they hear the call for help; But today there is a forbidden army patrolling, and the matter is not done but the forbidden army is attracted to it, and that is the big trouble.
Ye Biao did deliberately take a long detour, he also thought all the way, and finally decided to let the autumn geese go; And he thought that he could ask for a bounty, if he could still get in touch with the prince because of this, he would have a lot of money in the future, and it would be better than doing a deal.
Qingjiang Wangfu finally appeared in front of him.
Qiu Yan walked to a side door and began to knock. The crisp knock sounded particularly loud in the dark night. Qiu Yan was afraid that the porter would not hear it, and she was afraid of attracting the forbidden army.
After touching a cup of tea, there was movement inside, and Qiu Yan said continuously: "I am Qiu Yan!" I'm Qiu Yan! Open the door! Open the door! ”
"Mrs. Autumn!" The porter recognized the voice and immediately opened the door.
As soon as Qiu Yan stepped into the door, her spirit that had been tense all night was relaxed, and her physical exertion was already at the limit, so she fell to the ground with garlic under her feet.
The porter was startled, Ye Biao and Lu He hurriedly stepped into the threshold and helped Qiu Yan up, and the porter found that there were still two living people, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”
Qiu Yan explained with a strong spirit: "Send us back." ”
Ye Biao immediately laughed, turned around and let the porter see Jin'er on his back: "We are sending Mrs., Son, and Miss back to the house." ”
The porter closed the door, called his wife to take care of and settle several people, and then went to find the housekeeper Fengchang.
Feng Chang got the news, put on his shoes, picked up a piece of clothing and hurriedly walked through it, rushed to the room where Qiu Yan and the others were resting, and asked about the situation in the palace, and his brows were tightly squeezed together.
Ye Biao looked at everyone's expressions in the room, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qiu, Lord Housekeeper, the little one was on duty at the moat tonight, but I am afraid that I will be found by the steward to leave my duty without permission when I go back at this moment, and it is not easy to keep this bad fact, but the old mother of the small family is sick and does not have enough money......
Feng Chang understood and immediately said, "Wait a minute, the strong man." "Turn around and go to the account office to get the money.
Green Lotus secretly pinched Ye Biao again, and Ye Biao gritted his teeth and held back.
Qiu Yan was already safe, but she felt a little guilty in her heart, and took out two ingots of silver from her belt, one for Ye Biao and one for Green Lotus: "This is a little bit of my heart, don't dislike it." ”
Ye Biao happily accepted it, but Lu Lotus was shirking: "Madam, you just have such a little bit of silver, I can't accept it." ”
Ye Biao took the silver in Lu He's hand together: "This is Mrs. Qiu's kindness, we can't live up to it." ”
Lu He was about to blame him, but the housekeeper Feng Chang brought another bag of silver over and gave it to Ye Biao as a reward.
Ye Biao took the money and left the Qingjiang Mansion in the name of going back to guard the river in a hurry.
The green lotus remained. 166 Reading Network
