Chapter 37: Escape
The next day, Lin Yufu woke up with a deafening knock on the door, and after she opened her eyes, she immediately sat up and looked at the bed next door, Zhao Yuru didn't come back last night!
She stepped forward and opened the door, and it was Doroku who knocked on the door!
"Where's our young lady?" As soon as Taole entered the door, he looked around for Zhao Yuru.
"I don't know, she didn't come back before I went to bed last night!" Lin Yufu put on a coat and looked at Doro's anxious gaze, feeling that something was wrong.
"Our lady lives in the same room with you, and you don't know if you haven't come back all night?" Dole was so angry that her face was flushed, and she pointed at Lin Yufu's nose and blamed her.
Lin Yufu didn't bother to bother with her, and walked out of the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Girl!" At this time, Yin Dong and Xincha also ran over, and they pointed to the opposite wing room and said, "There is an accident in Jinxiufang!" ”
Lin Yufu frowned, and hurriedly followed everyone over.
Many novices surrounded there, and a few personal soldiers brought by Zhao Yuru were also guarding the door. Master Wu, the presiding officer of the Reclining Buddha Temple, frowned, looked at Lin Yufu coming over, and hurriedly recited "Amitabha".
"Master, what's wrong?" Lin Yufu asked anxiously.
"It seems that the mountain bandits invaded and kidnapped Mrs. Hou. The people of Fairview have been strangled! Master Wu sighed, shook his head and said, "What a sin! ”
"Buddhism dares to kill in the pure land, and is not afraid of retaliation?" Lin Yufu frowned, a sturdy soldier walked out of the room, he glanced at Lin Yufu, turned his head to Taole and said, "What about the head coach?" ”
Dole was already so anxious that she was about to cry, she pointed at Lin Yufu and said, "She said that Miss didn't go back last night!" ”
"I guess they were taken captive together!" Lin Yufu was a little calm, looked up at the soldier who had just come out of the house and asked, "Zhou Jun, what do you find in the room?" ”
The soldier froze, wondering how she knew her name.
"I'm asking you!"
That Zhou Jun smiled disdainfully, who does this Lin Yufu think he is? Call the shots on yourself here. What is she?
Seeing that Zhou Jun didn't pay attention to himself, Lin Yufu sighed, forget it, now he won't listen to the words of a woman in a green building. So she walked into the room by herself with the new tea.
There were no signs of a fight in the room, only two overturned teacups. Lin Yufu stepped forward and sniffed the teacup, the tea inside had dried up and couldn't smell anything.
She looked at the empty teapot again, and there was still a little residual tea in it. She reached out and dipped some into her mouth.
When Zhou Jun entered the door and saw this scene, he immediately rushed forward and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm thinking of saving your head of the sect!" Lin Yufu glared at Zhou Jun, Zhou Jun was stunned, this look was very similar to the appearance of Chief Coach Zhao when he was reprimanding himself.
Lin Yufu took the handkerchief handed by Xincha and wiped her hands and said, "There is a slight drug in the tea, if it is not for the cold tea, you can't taste it." If you just drink a few cups of tea, at most you will fall asleep and not fall into a coma so quickly. She muttered to herself.
Zhou Jun said with some dissatisfaction: "I also found out this!" ”
"Is there anything missing from Mrs. Hou?" Lin Yufu raised her head and asked.
Zhou Jun didn't want to answer, but in the face of her eyes, he couldn't speak for a while.
"Zhou Jun, are you dumb?"
"Nope!" Zhou Jun subconsciously stood up straight, shook his head and said, "I have checked, Mrs. Hou's gold and silver are not lost!" ”
Lin Yufu glanced at him, walked out of the door, and asked his own soldiers, "Are all the people brought by the Splendid Workshop dead?" ”
"Yes, all strangled!" The answer was yes.
"Thin monkey, you have good horseback riding skills, immediately ride a fast horse back to the city to report to the official, follow me, no, tell Lord Zhao, and let them send the soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing over."
The man named Thin Monkey was also a little surprised, how did Lin Yufu know his nickname?
"Also, go and ask the owner of the Splendid Workshop if you have any enemies. It's the first time I've seen a mountain bandit who used drugs. It's not for money, it should be for Mrs. Hou. Mr. Zhao was there yesterday and they were on the road together! ”
Lin Yufu took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, something was wrong.
If Zhao Yuru hadn't gone to find Mrs. Hou, no one would have drunk tea at night. The weight of this drug, calculated just right, can not only make people not notice, but also just stun two people.
"Are all the people in Fairview here?" She looked at Master Wu and said, "Is there anything missing?" ”
"Mrs. Hou's personal maid has not been found yet, I don't know if they were taken away together, or if they were ······" Master Wu shook his head and didn't continue.
"Eighty percent of them are enemies seeking revenge! With this maid here, Mrs. Hou will definitely be taken captive. Lin Yufu thought to herself, there is a debtor and a debtor, and Zhao Yuru should not be in great danger.
"What else are you watching me do?" Lin Yufu turned her head, but saw that all the soldiers looked at her and didn't speak, including Taole.
Lin ······ Miss Lin, what are we going to do now? Doraku asked after a moment's pause.
"The thin monkey goes back to report the news, Zhou Jun, you take ten people to look around and see if you can find anything. The rest of the people are guarding the temple, and if it is a mountain bandit, we will not be served in a pot! ”
"Yes!" Those people answered without thinking.
"Don't go yet!" Lin Yufu snorted, and they got busy.
"Master!" Lin Yufu walked in front of Master Wu, saluted and said, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what did Mrs. Hou ask for when she came to the temple?" ”
"Ask for a son, ask for peace!"
"It's not for the prosperity of the Splendid Workshop, it seems that it has indeed offended people!" Lin Yufu chuckled, now she can't do anything, she can only hope that Zhao Yuru can be smart and don't fold in the thief's den.
Zhao Yuru woke up in a daze and found that he seemed to be in a cave. There were people muttering around them.
"How did you tie this person up?"
"There's no way, she's in the same room as that girl, so she can only be tied up like this!"
"You're really not enough to accomplish and more than to lose! Any idea who this person is? He is the head of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing! ”
"Huh? This is the one, Zhao Yuru? ”
Her kidnappers were visibly panicked.
"Then big brother, what should I do? Can you kill it? ”
"Are you stupid? Kill Zhao Yuru and wait for Zhao Guanming to arrest us? Throw her out and we'll get what we want! ”
"Good!"
After saying that, one of them came in and carried him.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuru breathed a sigh of relief. Just keep playing dead. Wait until you're thrown out and ask for help!
At this moment, another little brother ran in in a panic and said, "Big brother, it's not good, that woman is looking for death and life!" ”
"Damn, wouldn't it be good for her to go back with me? What are you crying about? Anyway, Lao Tzu has also played, if you cry again, you will be hanged! ”
"Okay!"
Zhao Yuru sighed in her heart, is it Mrs. Hou?
She turned her wrist and saw that the rope wasn't very tightly tied. Or that they underestimated Zhao Yuru's arm strength, so she was able to break free easily.
But should she go to the rescue of Mrs. Hou?
Zhao Yu was a little entangled in his heart when he was like this. She has no ability now, just relying on this brute force, she doesn't know how many people on the other party are. If you want to save Mrs. Hou, it's a fool's dream!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuru closed her eyes, she was a selfish person, in Qinyunju before, she met a disobedient chick several times and was beaten half to death by her mother, she also raised her eyelids and left. This Mrs. Hou and herself are just meeting in Pingshui, it's just that, I don't know!
"I'll help you with the handle, this woman is heavy enough!" Another person came over to help carry Zhao Yuru together.
"Boss, that woman, are you really going to hang yourself?"
"Otherwise, crying makes my head hurt! But don't worry, before you die, I'll call you over to enjoy it together! ”
"Haha, I knew you were going to think about my brother!"
"Don't say it, this woman in Beijing is different, with fine skin and tender meat, not to mention more energetic!"
"Really? I'll ······ later."
"Are you guys enough?" The more they spoke, the more unbearable they became, and even Zhao Yuru, a woman who was not taboo in meat and vegetarians, couldn't listen to it anymore. She gritted her teeth and struggled to break free from the rope in her hand, then kicked her feet aside, as the person carrying her foot was kicked to the side unexpectedly.
"Yikes! This mother-in-law is awake! As soon as the other person's hand was released, Zhao Yuru fell to the ground violently. He turned around and wanted to run back and tell his boss about it. Where will Zhao Yuru give him a chance, he wants to catch him when he steps forward. But she forgot that her feet were tied, and as soon as she took a step forward, she fell straight forward, but before she fell, she did not forget to hold the bandit's legs, and the two fell to the ground together.
Zhao Yuru's weight attack once again took its advantage, and the man fell to the ground, temporarily unable to move. The other person was also kicked to the ground by her, presumably hitting something, moaning there.
Taking advantage of this gap, she quickly untied the rope from her feet, and then quickly tied the hands of the two people.
It's incredible that everything went well.
"Tell me, where is Mrs. Hou?" After all this was done, she pulled out the saber from their waist and asked viciously.
"Mrs. Hou? What Mrs. Hou? "One of them was tied like this, and it really looked like grasshoppers on a rope.
"It's the woman I took captive with!"
"Taken captive with you?" One was a little puzzled, but the other immediately kicked him and said, "I know, I'll take you!" ”
"Don't play tricks on me! You know who I am! Zhao Yuru patted their heads and said, "What kind of village are you from?" How many people are there? ”
One of them was stunned and looked at his companion next to him.
"We are, Black Flag Village! There are hundreds of brothers, and you can't escape! ”
"Black Flag Village?" Zhao Yuru frowned, why hadn't she heard of it? And the stockade of hundreds of people has not been destroyed yet?
"You talk a lot!" Zhao Yuru casually found the hay in the hole and stuffed it into their mouths, then kicked them a few times hard to make them honest, and then effortlessly pulled the two of them up and said, "Take me quickly!" ”
Those two people knew that they couldn't beat Zhao Yuru, so they could only be led forward honestly by her.
While walking, Zhao Yuru observed the surroundings. This cave is winding and winding, and it is extremely easy to get lost.
"This is your stockade? Just a broken cave? Zhao Yuru felt strange in his heart, and along the way, he almost didn't meet a few people, what about the hundreds of people who said yes?
It felt like they were fugitives hiding here.
Soon they took Zhao Yuru to the place where the woman was. Zhao Yuru saw a woman lying there in rags, feeling that she was dying.
"Mrs. Hou!" Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up. But when I turned it over, I realized that this was not Mrs. Hou!
Just as she was distracted, the two men turned and ran away. Zhao Yuru wanted to chase after him, but was quickly thrown off by them.
"These two thieves!" She cursed hatefully, returned to the woman, wiped the blood from her face, and shook her body.
"Girl! Wake up! ”
After a while, the woman woke up leisurely. As soon as she saw Zhao Yuru, she screamed and retreated.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you! Don't be afraid! Zhao Yuru covered her mouth, for fear that she would attract those mountain bandits.
The woman looked at Zhao Yuru, gradually regained her senses, and then lay on her and whimpered.
"Don't cry, I'll find a way to take you out. Do you know who these people are? ”
The woman looked at Zhao Yuru and shook her head.
"Then you know that yesterday they took a woman captive, where did she put it?"
The woman shook her head.
"That's it, then you always know what your name is and where your home is, right?"
"My name is Xiao Ruyi, my home is in the east of the city, and my father and mother opened an ordinary pastry shop. A few days ago, we came to the Reclining Buddha Temple to offer incense, but I didn't expect ······" She thought of the sadness and began to cry again.
"Don't cry, it's not good to bring them in later!"
"Are you, Zhao Yuru, the head of Zhao?" Xiao Ruyi grabbed Zhao Yuru's sleeve and said, "I've seen you, you're here to save me, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, didn't I just say that? But now I have one more person to save! She said with a headache: "I don't know how many of them there are!" ”
"There aren't many people!" Xiao Ruyi said firmly: "They just tied my hands at the beginning, and they didn't even have a person to guard me!" The brute said to the people below, "When you're done, leave!" ”
"Not a bandit?" Zhao Yuru was stunned for a moment, could it be, the Northern Barbarians?
She opened her mouth wide, and now she was in trouble! Oh, why was he kidnapped, if only I hadn't gone to see Mrs. Hou that night! Or, Lin Yufu is good here!
She doesn't know how to get out now, and she has to carry two oil bottles.
Die here!
"You follow me, don't lose it. When the time comes, I will let you run, and you will run without looking back, do you hear? Zhao Yuru broke a wooden stick and handed half of it to her, while carrying it on his body for self-defense. Then she took out the fire fold that she had scavenged from the two of them, felt the torch on the wall, lit it, and then groped out with Xiao Ruyi, ready to find Fang Jingyu.
"I wonder if they'll be able to find it?" She sighed and resigned herself to fate!
Lin Yufu was also a little anxious, it had been more than half a day, and the thin monkey was riding alone, and he should have arrived in Beijing at this time. It's just that there are too few people brought this time, and the speed of searching the mountain is very slow, and now I can only wait for the support to come, and then go to the two of them together.
"Girl, let's eat!" Yin Dong brought a few plates of vegetarian dishes, Lin Yufu nodded, picked up a steamed bun and was about to eat.
"Do you still have the heart to eat?" Doroku stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly: "Also, our young lady is missing, and it has nothing to do with you!" ”
Lin Yufu raised her eyes and looked at Taole, calmly took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "Even if you don't eat or drink here, you won't be able to rescue your young lady." ”
"I'm not worried about our miss, I'm worried about those bandits, who have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and dare to kidnap our miss! Now our young lady may have come down the mountain with their heads! ”
Lin Yufu smiled slightly when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's better!" ”
"What do you mean? You don't know how powerful our young lady is! Forget it, I told you you don't understand either! Doroku stood up unhappily and walked out to wait for news.
In fact, it's not just Peach Luck, but also Yindong and New Tea. Zhao Yuru's identity is different, and some people dare to take them away, which shows that the other party is some outlaws.
"Girl, aren't you worried at all?" Shincha asked, looking at her.
"I'm worried, I'm so worried!" Lin Yufu took a sip of gruel and felt warm in her abdomen. Of course she was worried, but she was more worried than anyone else. If Zhao Yuru died, she would never be able to go back!
"But there's nothing more important than filling your stomach, so eat some too, I don't know when we will hear from you this night!" She put another chopstick dish into her mouth, looked into the distance, and Zhou Jun, who led people to search the mountains, hurried back.
In the dark cave, Zhao Yuru walked with Xiao Ruyi for an unknown amount of time, and even she felt tired when she walked.
"Why doesn't there be an exit to this cave?" She was so angry that she sat on the ground, but she could also see that there was really no one here! Otherwise, they would have been caught and taken away by someone long ago for wandering around aimlessly.
"It's still Black Flag Village, and it's still a few hundred people, bluffing!" She said, taking a sip.
Xiao Ruyi probably hadn't eaten for too long, and she was too hungry to stand up. Just now, it was almost Zhao Yuru carrying her back.
"Sect Leader Zhao, I'm afraid I can't do it, you go, don't take me with you!" Xiao Ruyi said dyingly.
"Stop talking, keep your strength. This place is like a labyrinth, even if I don't take you with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out! ”
At this moment, Zhao Yuru, who had excellent ear skills, heard footsteps.
"You two useless guys, a woman can't stand it! Hurry up and find her for me! ”
"Humph! She is the head of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and you little minions want to catch her? A familiar voice sounded, it was actually Fang Jingyu.
"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll kill you first! ”
"If you want to kill, you kill, so much nonsense? You won't be able to escape anyway, maybe you're already surrounded outside! ”
"Don't talk much!" After speaking, Zhao Yuru heard a crisp slap.
"Lao Tzu is going to die, and I will pull you as a cushion first! And the mother-in-law surnamed Zhao also has to die! ”
Xiao Ruyi, who was still dying just now, heard this voice, and immediately trembled with fright and cried.
"Don't cry!" Zhao Yuru panicked and hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was too late, and the robber immediately discovered them!
"Oops!" Zhao Yuru ran two steps, and then went back to carry Xiao Ruyi and trotted all the way. But how could she run out of this twist and turn, and she encountered oncoming robbers around a corner.
Zhao Yuru fixed his eyes, deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, light-colored eyes, this is the Northern Barbarian!
"Zhao Yuru! Don't run! The Northern Barbarian rushed over with a knife, Zhao Yuru took a step back, picked up the wooden stick in his hand and pointed at the man, and pretended to be calm and said: "Put down the knife, let go of Mrs. Hou, I can spare your life." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
"Really?" He was not afraid at all, looked at Zhao Yuru and said: "I heard that the Zhao family's marksmanship is first-class, I want to see it!" ”
"My people have already found it, if you are smart, surrender obediently!" Zhao Yuru's mouth was still stiff, but her legs were already shaking.
"With you as a hostage, I'm still afraid of them?" After speaking, he slashed at him, and almost at the same time, Zhao Yuru dodged sideways, and the wooden stick in his hand unconsciously shot out, poking him in the eye.
The spikes on the stick cut a cut in his face, which neither of them expected.
"Yo he, yes, yes!" Zhao Yuru was happy in her heart, and finally stopped coercing at this time.
The northern barbarian touched the blood on his face, and an excited expression suddenly appeared in his eyes. He licked the blood and said, "Zhao Yuru, I'm going to torture you enough before killing!" ”
Seeing him slowly becoming crazy, Zhao Yuru began to panic.
She can't deal with a madman!
Before she could turn around and run away, the Northern Barbarian's big knife blocked her way, and Zhao Yu responded in embarrassment. He was almost fatal, how could she, a half-ass, parry it?
She couldn't help but feel sad, why did someone kill her one after another in the past two days, but this person was no easier to deal with than the fool yesterday. If she can survive this time, she must practice hard, otherwise she will have too many enemies!
In this distraction, her arm was slashed.
"Ahh Zhao Yuru screamed, she couldn't stand the pain the most, this knife went down, the skin opened and the flesh opened, and her face was so painful that her face was twisted.
"Hmph, what a head coach, a broken copper and iron!" The Northern Barbarian laughed at her, raised the knife in his hand and was about to slash again.
"Miss Zhao, let's go!" Suddenly, a woman rushed out and hugged the leg of the northern barbarian, urging Zhao Yuru to leave quickly.
"Mrs. Hou?" Zhao Yuru was stunned, Fang Jingyu was holding his leg at this time, completely ignoring his own safety.
"You seek your own death!" The Northern Barbarian let out a loud shout, knocked her unconscious, and then raised the knife in his hand to slash at Fang Jingyu.
At the last moment, a hairpin came in the air and hit him in the tiger's mouth. The strength was not great, but it made him feel painful.
Zhao Yuru turned around and saw Lin Yufu standing behind him, holding two swords!
