Vowing to marry (3)
City Shou Yuan Wenling did not hide his helplessness, spread his hands, and said: "How is this good? Is matchmaking available to everyone? I am afraid that the matchmaker will not do well, and if he is not careful, he will become an enemy and be spurned by the other party. In this matter, the four princes should ask for another master, it is really difficult to be competent. However, I still have to persuade the prince that everything should not be forced, today is a lesson from the past, and it is better not to take risks again. They don't know the identity of the prince, and even if they hurt you, they have nowhere to reason. ”
"The woman I fancy has not been able to get it. With you, I see who of them dares to do it. Yan Lingyu raised his hands and straightened his clothes, turned his head slightly, glanced at Yuan Wenling, and did not take Yuan Wenling's words seriously.
Yuan Wenling saw that Yan Lingling was injured by the unconscious action just now, and his brows were tightly twisted in pain, and his mouth was embarrassed. He took the opportunity to hurriedly beckoned to the servant waiting at the door: "Come on, let's help the fourth prince see the injury first." It's never too late to talk about the rest. ”
Yan Lingyu covered his right shoulder with his hand, and saw through Yuan Wenling's thoughts at a glance, and looked at Yuan Wenling's hand that was still hanging in the air, and his tone was full of scoundrel atmosphere: "You don't interrupt, you have to help me do this." ”
"Okay, I'll try." Yuan Wenling hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
This Yuan Wenling is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he wants to favor his own people. However, he can't snub this neighboring prince, it's useless to dissuade him, and there's no need to bother with words, although he can't get used to Yan Ling's consistent style, but he still has to reluctantly respond to it now. He just hopes to send this big Buddha away as soon as possible, and it is fortunate not to look at other girls again.
The news of Yanling being beaten out of Jiangfu spread in Qiantang City in just one day, but he, the person concerned, is now only thinking about how to hold the beauty, and he quickly left behind his ugly matter. After a night's rest and recuperation, several injuries on his body seemed to be less painful than yesterday, and he was full of energy when he thought of today's events.
Early in the morning, Yang just showed half of his face from the top of the mountain, and Yuan Wenling, who was the city guard, was invited out of the house by Yanling Wang, and a group of eight or nine people walked through the street, in addition to Yanling and Yuan Wenling, behind him were the slaves who carried the dowry yesterday and the attendant of Yanling Wang. Originally, Yan Lingling wanted Yuan Wenling to send a team of men and horses to follow behind, but Yuan Wenling politely refused. They are there to ask for marriage, not to rob relatives, what is the appearance of leading a team of officers and soldiers, what is the difference between it and a bully who bullies men and women.
"Look, this man is going to ask for a kiss again."
"Yes, I'm afraid that the beating I received yesterday was not enough, and I didn't enjoy it?"
"My face has been thrown into the Yellow Spring, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to go out."
"After living in Qiantang for so many years, it's the first time I've seen Jiangfu use force against people in public, it's strange."
"Who says it's not, Jiang Fu has always been friendly to people. Presumably, this person is not a good person, with a human face and a beast's heart. ”
"Our city guard is also there, how can you say that the city guard can help such a person?"
"Is this going to be forcibly married?"
……
The road ahead has not gone far, and the lively passers-by have already circled around them in a thick half circle, following them, pointing and pointing for a while, gossiping and talking, mocking laughter rippling on unfamiliar faces, and the place where they pass is lively and vigorous.
Yan Ling turned his head and swept the onlookers in front and back, and saw Yuan Wenling beside him with a calm face, with his hands behind his back and his steps leisurely. With anger in his heart, Chong Yuan Wenling complained: "Listen, what did these Diao people say?!" If you bring some officers and soldiers, why not? Are you people of Nanzhuan so bold as this? How could this have taken you, the city guard, into account? And dare to talk about this son like this! ”
"They are just good-looking and lively, and they didn't kill people and set fires, rob houses, why do they need officers and soldiers to suppress and drive them away, after watching the excitement, they will naturally leave." The corners of Yuan Wenling's lips were slightly raised, and he raised his eyes to look at the morning light that was shining with blurred colors, and his tone was calm, looking as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Gu Minluo was standing by the window in a private room in the teahouse, and the brilliant light of Lian spilled from the top of the mountain in the distance, falling all over his body. He calmly looked downstairs, looking at the vast crowd that was passing by, he focused his gaze on Yan Lingyu, and the words floated out of his mouth without being salty: "Can this person's identity be found out?" ”
"Back to the young master, this person is Yanling, the fourth prince of the Central Plains Kingdom." The man standing behind Gu Minluo was still dressed in the same tight brown coat and spoke respectfully.
Gu Minluo bowed slightly: "I'll just say, who has such the ability to mobilize the officers and soldiers of Qiantang City." In this way, it is not easy to do. ”
"Young master, are we going to ......" the man made a gesture to wipe his neck, and the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Minluo retracted his gaze, turned away from the window, and waved his hand slightly: "Don't provoke the royal family first, it's not good for us." ”
"Yes."
"But it doesn't hurt to move him." Gu Minluo stared at the picture of the sunset mountains and rivers between the walls, thought for a moment in his head, and then whispered a few words in the ear of the man in brown.
After listening to Gu Minluo's words, a flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. However, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and responded: "Obey the order, and my subordinates will do it." ”
"Proceed with caution." Gu Minluo looked at the back of the hurried departure, and did not forget to remind him more.
Seeing that the mighty procession was about to march to the gate of Jiangfu, someone in the noisy crowd opened their throats in horror and shouted: "There are robbers!" ”
This voice made the surroundings quiet for an instant, and before Yanling and Yuan Wenling could react, more than 20 masked people who were robbers were armed with big swords, and they jumped down from the eaves on both sides together, and started to move without saying a word. The crowd of onlookers was so frightened that they lost their souls in an instant, and fled in all directions in panic, the scene was chaotic, a noise lingered in the whole street for a long time, and the small stalls on the side of the road were knocked down and fell, and a variety of goods rolled down all over the ground.
The streets were in a mess, and even if the officers and men learned that there was a disturbance here, they would probably be powerless to get through the noisy and congested crowd for a while. Yan Ling's attendants were quite difficult to deal with with one block of ten, and in the end, they had no time to take care of their masters, who were not skilled in martial arts, and left them to fend for themselves.
The slaves carrying the boxes had already fledgled into the chaotic crowd when the masked men landed, and the boxes of belongings naturally fell into the hands of the masked men, which was the purpose of their actions. However, after getting the property, they did not retreat immediately, but made a fist and kick to Yan Ling, and then hurried along the street, and finally a group of people disappeared around the corner of the street.
As soon as the masked man left, and the passers-by who were watching the excitement had already fled for their lives, only the four of them were left here, and the ground was in a mess, but fortunately there were no dead or injured people.
Yan Ling's injuries were a little severe, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground sprinkled with half of the sun. The attendant breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put away his sword, endured the injury on his arm, and helped up Yanling, who had a blue nose and swollen face, together with Yuan Wenling: "Childe, how is it?" ”
"Shhh Yan Lingyu gasped, the corners of his mouth were bloodstained, and he stood up straight.
Hearing this, the attendant immediately bowed down and looked at his feet: "Childe, please forgive your sins!" ”
"You are not to blame for this. This group of robbers is really empty! Although Yan Lingyu was angry, he would not indiscriminately push his mistakes on others.
Looking at Yan Ling's painful appearance, Yuan Wenling, who was blocked by the robbers, actually had an urge to laugh. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he arched his hand at Yanling: "Son, now that the dowry has been robbed, and you have been so seriously injured, it is better to change the route and go back to the house first, and think about it in the long run." ”
"Qiantang is so chaotic, the robbers have robbed you, the city guard. Yuan Wenling, are you derelict in your duties? That's why they are so presumptuous? Yan Ling glanced at Yuan Wenling weakly, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, if it weren't for this Yuan Wenling's lack of governance in Qiantang City, how could he suffer this crime.
When all the robbers appeared in front of Yuan Wenling, he was also quite surprised. This sudden starvation change made him unexpected, the dignified city guarded his own territory and was robbed in public, not only lost his property, but also lost his face, there is no place for an old face, even if Yan Lingyu did not mention it, he will investigate to the end and recover the stolen things. Without any further hesitation, he turned to his attendant and gave an order: "Quickly give orders to go down, strictly guard the gates, and never let go of a suspicious person." ”
Although Yuan Wenling knew martial arts, he was somewhat slightly injured, compared with Yanling's, it was only a drop in the bucket, and the main target of the robbers was Yanling.
"I warned you that you should send some officers and soldiers to accompany you. It's good to be ...... like this" Yan Lingyu said half of his words, and he didn't bother to speak again in the second half of the sentence, so he only spread his hands, but his body hurt violently again, and his mouth trembled.
Yuan Wenling saw that Yanling's steps became difficult, and took the initiative to hold Yanling's other arm, helped him move forward with difficulty, and said unhurriedly: "Gongzi must know that wealth is not exposed, these boxes of dowry are not a small amount, you have taken it several times to swagger through the market, and it is inevitable that you will be remembered by thieves." ”
"How did this become my fault?" Yan Ling paused, raised his bruised eyes to look at Yuan Wenling, and obviously did not accept Yuan Wenling's statement.
Yuan Wenling smiled calmly, shook his head and said, "Childe misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Just to remind Childe to be cautious. ”
After the fight, there were pedestrians on the street one after another, and the small vendors were busy tidying up their stalls, and no one paid attention to the miserable Yanling Ridge.
Gu Minluo tasted tea in the teahouse for half an hour, and when he saw the man in brown coming back, he asked lightly, "How are things going?" ”
"According to the young master's orders, several boxes of property have been robbed." The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and after the report, he paused, and then spoke: "By the way, I taught this prince a hard lesson." ”
"What?" Gu Minluo couldn't help but glance at the man, slightly surprised. Then he said: "Just fight it, just don't make trouble." ”
Gu Minluo was kind to his subordinates, so the man in brown dared to act like this. The two were silent for a moment, and the man smiled: "If you dare to rob a woman with the young master, you deserve to be killed." ”
