Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tied Up

Han Lingcheng's face was extremely calm.

It's just that he didn't hide his appreciation for Sun Qingqing in his eyes, and he also had a polite smile on his lips.

Sun Qingqing smiled slightly and said politely: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Han Lingcheng looked at her hair hanging down next to her cheeks, and only felt itchy.

The strand of jet-black hair was extremely beautiful, and it seemed to tug at his heartstrings.

His eyes flickered for a few moments, and then he spoke gently: "Since the last time I saw him, I have always felt that the princess is a person worthy of being a friend, I wonder if the princess can give you this opportunity?" ”

Sun Qingqing thought about it and agreed: "The prince said that he was laughing." The prince wanted to be friends with the concubine, and the concubine was naturally overjoyed. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Sun Qingqing's decision was made after thinking about it.

Although I don't know what Han Lingcheng's purpose is now, on the surface, it's still okay to make friends, and having one more friend is not a bad thing.

Han Lingcheng didn't stay in the palace for long, and he didn't say a few words to Sun Qingqing, so he got up and said goodbye.

He didn't bother with going to see Li Shengshu at all.

It was as if this was not the real purpose of his visit.

On the contrary...... She.

She is the true purpose of Han Ling City.

Sun Qingqing was a little helpless about this strange thought in her heart, and immediately shook her head and threw these things out.

Three days later.

Sun Qingqing was originally staying in the mansion, but at this time she received a message from Zheng Qing.

What the letter says, however, is a big deal.

The cloth shop recently bought a new batch of new goods, which was Shu brocade from Shudi, but when it was transported to Kyoto, it was robbed by a group of robbers.

Zheng Qing was helpless and sent someone to look for it, but in the end they all returned in vain, and instead brought back the news.

The robber said that if Princess Rui went to get it in person, they would hand over the Shu brocade.

Sun Qingqing was also a little surprised when she heard the news.

After a brief moment of surprise, she understood.

It seems that this is what was written on the note she received before, and it turned out that she was planning the shop, but did she start from this aspect?

Ah Ling was a little worried on the side: "Miss, I'm afraid there is fraud in this matter, otherwise we won't go and get it, it's very dangerous." ”

"No, go get it." Sun Qingqing rejected her proposal.

This batch of Shu brocade has a relatively large amount of goods, and Shu brocade has always been rare, and now I have missed this batch, and I don't know when the next batch will have to wait.

Moreover, at this time, there were already many people in Zheng Qing's cloth shop who had placed orders for Shu brocade.

If this business fails, it is estimated that the reputation of the cloth store will be ruined in the future.

It's not a good deal.

Even though Ah Ling was worried, she also knew that Sun Qingqing's decision could not change her mind, so she could only tell Lixia the news in the end.

And after Lixia learned the news, he immediately informed Li Shengshu.

So, before Sun Qingqing set off, Li Shengshu was already pushed over.

"The princess is going to go far away?" Li Shengshu asked.

Sun Qingqing immediately glanced at Lixia next to him, and instantly understood, so he admitted: "Yes, in fact, it's not that far, it's just ten miles away in the suburbs." ”

"Does the princess have to go?" Li Shengshu asked gently.

His tone was extraordinarily gentle today.

When she said these words, Sun Qingqing was a little surprised.

She answered, "Yes." ”

"Okay." Li Shengshu only said one word.

Sun Qingqing became more and more surprised.

She originally thought that Li Shengshu should be opposed to this matter and would not allow her to go out.

But he didn't stand in the way.

Li Shengshu pondered for a while, and said: "It's very dangerous outside, the princess can go, but you have to bring Zhao De and Lixia." ”

Sun Qingqing quickly agreed to this condition.

Take these two people with strong martial arts, and then go to pick up the goods, and the safety is more guaranteed.

After listening to this, Sun Qingqing saluted again: "Does the prince have any other orders?" ”

She was answered by the sound of a wheelchair rolling.

Li Shengshu came over, and he took Sun Qingqing's hand before she could react.

He forcibly crossed his fingers with her, but his voice was extremely gentle: "The princess must come back early, otherwise, this king will be worried." ”

Sun Qingqing looked down at the two of them clasping hands, and her heart trembled.

She withdrew her hand, her ears were red, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine knows, the prince is not feeling well, so let's go back early." ”

Sun Qingqing didn't even know what he was doing.

She only remembered that she hurriedly let go of Li Shengshu's hand and walked out of the courtyard, and when she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in the carriage.

Sun Qingqing took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and opened the curtain to look outside.

I saw that the carriage was already speeding out on the road.

Sun Qingqing's eyes were deep, and then she asked the two people sitting at the front of the carriage: "Lixia, how long will it take for us to arrive?" ”

"If you go back to the princess, it will take about half an hour."

Half an hour, that is, an hour.

It's not long, but it's not short.

Sun Qingqing closed her eyes, leaned on the inner wall of the carriage next to her, and began to recuperate.

Now it's time to take a break and conserve your stamina is the next thing you should do.

It's just that she hasn't rested long before she notices that something is wrong.

The carriage was now out of the city gates, but it was a little scary quiet.

With his natural intuition and keen sense, Sun Qingqing immediately got out of the carriage and whispered to the two people in front of him: "Be careful, there may be an ambush around." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of breaking the air around them.

Immediately, countless arrows came towards them.

"Be careful!"

Lixia was just about to come over to rescue Sun Qingqing, but his body was stunned.

Because Sun Qingqing doesn't have any disadvantages at all.

She moved quickly, and was able to see exactly where the arrows had landed, and with a slight movement of her steps, she easily dodged.

Seeing Sun Qingqing like this, Lixia was stunned, then came back to her senses and quickly began to deal with the people on her side.

In this way, the division of labor between several people is also clear.

For a moment, the three of them were almost surrounded by arrows.

But it didn't hurt at all.

The mountain bandits hiding behind some grass piles and small hills were extremely surprised when they saw this scene, and immediately rushed over with a long knife: "Kill! ”

Forty or fifty bandits attacked the three of them almost simultaneously.

The carriage must not be wanted.

The three of them looked at each other silently, and even though they understood what they meant.

Taking care of oneself is the best explanation for their fellow people.

A few people started fighting.

There are many people on the other side, not to mention that there is still a weapon in his hand, and the killing machine is surging.

But none of them showed any disadvantage.

In the strategy of fighting while retreating, the three of them were back to back, and almost all of these forty or fifty people were solved.

Zhao De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Sun Qingqing has not relaxed her vigilance yet, she always feels that it is impossible to send such a group of people whose force value is not high.

Then, Sun Qingqing subconsciously began to observe the terrain.

In an instant, a touch of coldness appeared in her eyes: "It's not good, we have been tricked!" ”

However, it was too late.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone rushed out of the shadows.

They are strong in martial arts, have a firm vision, and are obviously all practiced, and their goals are very clear.

These people are coming for them.

These more than 20 people were strong in martial arts and surrounded them from all directions.

Just now, on the way to fight while retreating, they had unconsciously retreated to this low-lying place.

This place, obviously, is not in their favor.

Now, they have no way out. There is almost no other way than to catch up.

Sun Qingqing and the others gritted their teeth and fought again.

It's just that the attack of more than fifty people just now has almost exhausted the physical strength of several people, and now these more than twenty people with strong martial arts have exhausted them.

Several of them were a little exhausted.

The one with the fastest physical exertion is Sun Qingqing.

But she gritted her teeth and continued to persevere.

Even so, no matter how good the martial arts of the three people were, they were invincible with two fists and four hands, and after eliminating more than a dozen people, they were still caught.

"Hmph." The mountain bandit led by him sneered: "I can be regarded as catching you." ”

He instructed his men to tie the three of them tightly with ropes, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, rest for a while." ”

The remaining dozen or so sat down to rest.

They seem really defenseless.

After catching the three of them, several of them were visibly happy, and now their expressions were relaxed.

And the leader of the mountain bandit was still boasting loudly: "Originally, when I received this task before, I thought how difficult this task was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that!" ”

Sun Qingqing sat on the side, seemingly not speaking, but her eyelashes were slightly lowered, and her gaze fell on Zhao De's bound hands.

Zhao De's hands were moving slightly, and he was holding a small firework in his hand.

When Sun Qingqing saw this thing, she had a small premonition.

This should be for the messenger.

As long as they can get the word and get help, they don't have to be afraid.

Thinking like this, Lixia also saw Zhao De's small movements, and all of them were silent.

But at this moment, the leader of the mountain bandits, who had been boasting beside him before, walked over as if he noticed something: "Hey, why don't you talk anymore?" ”

"Isn't it a small move?"

He strode over, too fast.

Everyone didn't expect him to come so quickly, and without paying attention, the firework in Zhao De's hand was taken away.

"Okay, so you want to use this ventilation to send a message?" The leader of the mountain bandits looked at him sharply and threw the firework in his hand on the ground: "I tell you, no way!" ”

Immediately afterward, the fireworks were thrown to the ground and trampled severely.

By the way, the leader of the mountain bandits also knocked Zhao De unconscious.

Seeing that Zhao De had fainted, Lixia suddenly felt a little excited, and was about to stand up and reason with the leader of the mountain bandits.

"Rixia." Sun Qingqing called.

Lixia sat back down, but his face was extremely unwilling.

"That's right, those who know the times are Junjie!"

The leader of the mountain bandits was extremely satisfied, and finally did not forget to warn: "I tell you, it's best not to think about escaping, and don't think about fighting Xiao Jiujiu!" ”

It didn't take long for the bandits to continue escorting them forward.

It's just that Sun Qingqing seems to obey the orders of the mountain bandits, but he is thinking calmly in his heart.

Now it is definitely not easy for them to escape from here. There are so many people on the bandits' side, and there are only three people on their side, so they will definitely not be able to beat them again.

Now we can only see if there is any way to get them to escape quietly.

Sun Qingqing thought so, the mountain bandits over there were tired again.

They sat down to rest by a bush.

Among them, the leader of the mountain bandits even ordered: "Lao Tzu is hungry, quickly, go and find out if there is anything to eat!" ”

Several of the bandits left under such orders.

Maybe this is the opportunity!

Sun Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, and just as he wanted to make a move, he felt that someone was untying the rope on his wrist behind him.

Who is it!

She tilted her head slightly, and saw a familiar face.

Fang Fei! It's her!

Sun Qingqing hadn't seen her for a long time.

Fang Fei hid in the bushes, and quickly untied the ropes on the wrists and legs of the three of them by taking advantage of the blind spot of the mountain bandits over there.

"Wait for me to lure them away, and you guys will go." Fang Fei said in a low voice.
