Chapter 16: Robbery on the Road
The coachman was already trembling with fear, where else could he say anything.
Originally, in order not to attract attention, Duanmuqing specially instructed the coachman to take the sparsely populated road this day, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident.
Seeing this situation, he knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply helped Cai Wei's men get out of the carriage, feeling her trembling, Duanmu Qing gently patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
When she saw the woman's face, she couldn't help but exclaim, just because she recognized this woman, she was the concubine of one of Zhao Yufeng's staff in her previous life. Although she didn't meet many times, her cold temperament still caught her attention.
How did you meet her here in this life? Looking at the posture, it seems that he is still a practitioner.
"I don't know what the girl is called, so ......," he said, his eyes wandering around her before he spoke again, "What's the matter?" ”
Originally, I saw that the carriage belonged to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but I thought that the person in it must be a master, as long as he was intercepted, it would not be difficult to get some money.
It looks like she should be the young lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but she doesn't seem to be afraid of the sword in her hand at all, "Don't talk nonsense, let your people go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to report the news, and prepare a thousand taels of silver to ransom people." ”
It seems that it was kidnapped, and it was kidnapped for money, but this thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is not too much.
Smiling slightly, Duanmu Qing smiled: "Looking at the girl's appearance, she has never been doing this for a living, what can be solved with money in this world has never been a thing, if the girl can trust me, how about we make a deal?" ”
This woman is obviously not simple, she became the concubine of Zhao Yufeng's staff in her previous life, but she is afraid that she is also a chess piece, and the person who can make him look down on it must not be simple, but unfortunately, she doesn't know much about this woman, so she can only try it at this time and win her over.
"Why should I trust you?"
"It's very simple," Duanmu Qing smiled slightly, "Who is the Yongding Marquis Mansion, even if the girl doesn't understand, she won't know nothing!" Look at the girl's temperament really doesn't look like a person who robs the house, at this time you need this silver, probably there is a constraint, this time, you kidnapped me and got the silver, will the Yongding Marquis Mansion be so good? Isn't that another trouble? ”
Duanmuqing looked up and down for a long time, the woman in front of her was indeed only twelve or thirteen years old, but for some reason, it gave her a feeling of being twenty or thirty years old, and the look in her eyes had a kind of confidence that was difficult to doubt.
"Then what do you mean ......"
"I'll give you money, and I can even try to help you solve your problems."
"What do you want?" The woman in the yellow shirt is not ambiguous, there is no such thing as pies falling from the sky, and those who add blood to their knives understand this truth.
"I need someone like you."
Duanmu Qing's faint words made her immediately vigilant, "Who are you?" ”
"Miss Yongding Houfu. Since you have seen the markings on the carriage, how can you not guess who I am. Duanmu Qing smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I don't need you to sell your life to me, even if it's to make friends." ”
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no reason not to believe me, because I have no reason to lie to you, and I don't have the ability, people like you, if they want my life, they should ...... It's not hard! "How can someone who can make Zhao Yufeng look good?
Considering her situation at the moment, the woman in the yellow shirt was still vigilant, "Give me the silver first." ”
"No problem," Duanmu Qing smiled faintly, and instructed Cai Wei to go back to Lian Xia Pavilion to get the silver, "I'll wait here with you for Cai Wei to come back." ”
When the woman saw her at ease, she was inevitably a little nervous, did she let the maid go to the rescue?
"You don't have to worry, even if my maid goes back to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to rescue the soldiers, it will be similar to what you originally thought, you can choose to put the sword on my neck." Sitting leisurely on the wheel, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't like the autumn sunshine very much.
Seeing her attitude, the woman in the yellow shirt didn't really want to meet her, but she still got closer.
Cai Wei hurriedly brought Shui Sanniang over, and was relieved to see Duanmu Qing staying there well, "Miss, silver ticket." ”
Duanmuqing didn't answer, but raised her chin and asked her to give it directly to the woman.
Shui Sanniang's head was covered with sweat, and she felt that the sword in the woman's hand was very dazzling in the sun.
The woman in the yellow shirt did not take the silver, but looked at Duanmu Qing fixedly, as if she wanted to confirm whether she really wanted to give the silver to her like this.
But the other party's eyes were as clear as water, and there was really no trace of trickery.
For a while, the whole alley was silent, and Duanmuqing was not in a hurry, still sitting leisurely.
"Miss, please save the little girl's life." Suddenly, the woman in the yellow shirt fell to the ground, and the crisp voice surprised everyone.
The light in Duanmu Qing's eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "What's the matter, let's talk about it when you get in the car." ”
After saying that, he went straight into the carriage, leaving the others to look at each other.
Cai Wei followed and walked in, Shui Sanniang didn't know what was going on, but when she saw this sword light, she only felt trembling in her heart, and immediately followed her into the carriage.
Very surprised by Duanmu Qing's reaction, the woman in the yellow shirt suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, but now that she had come to this point, she gritted her teeth and walked in.
"Coachman, go back to Xiaju." Cai Wei's gentle voice sounded, and the coachman reacted from his stunned state, picked up the horsewhip and turned back.
No one spoke along the way, and because there were four people seated in the carriage, it seemed a little crowded, and they could smell each other's breath.
The woman in the yellow shirt pursed her mouth into a line, and her heart kept going up and down, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to follow this little girl like this.
Shui Sanniang's hands and feet are still spontaneously soft, although she has never seen such a blatant kidnapping in the end, and what is even more strange is that the kidnapper and the meat ticket finally sat in a carriage and followed the meat ticket.
Looking up at her partner again, she is still a young face, or a small person, but it is impossible to guess what she is thinking.
Back at Lian Xiaju, Duanmu Qing took someone upstairs directly, and didn't want Shui Sanniang to send someone to take care of it, so Cai Wei made tea, took a sip and moistened her throat, and then smiled: "Okay, what do you have to say, you can say it now." ”
Taking a deep breath, the woman in the yellow shirt knelt on the ground before she spoke: "My name is Huang Qi, and I am a person from Tingfeng Lou." ”
"Listening to the Wind Building," Duanmu Qing muttered to himself, and suddenly a thought flashed, "Gong Listening to the Wind Building?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Astragalus knew that the little girl in front of him was really not simple, how could the young lady who was raised in the boudoir know about the existence of Tingfeng Lou.
But in fact, Duanmu Qing remembered his previous life, among the forces that Zhao Yufeng secretly befriended, there was the existence of Tingfeng Tower, and he didn't let her participate in this matter, but he accidentally heard it once, and later found it himself, and he thought it was good at the time, and the family's deep hatred was revenged.
"Yes, Tingfeng Lou has always been in charge of the Gong family, and the single assassination mission is to kill people and get money." Astragalus's voice was already very calm, but there was a drum beating in her heart, this is a major event about her net worth, not to mention it this time, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities.
"Who are you? What happened to Tingfeng Building? Duanmu Qing's face was as usual, but he was already secretly thinking in his heart, he was really not sure if he could take this burden.
"Tingfeng Lou is divided into nine levels and eighteen levels, the more people go down, the weaker the ability, I am the third level, the old head of Tingfeng Lou was killed, the sect is chaotic, the deputy hall master and a group of dog thieves take advantage of the fact that everyone can't come back for the time being to assassinate the hall master, want to take the opportunity to seize the position, we desperately kill out of the pursuit range, run here, the hall master has been seriously injured, we really have no choice."
"What about him?" Hearing this, Duanmu Qing already understood the general situation, that is, a battle for the throne.
"In the mountain temple twenty miles away in the eastern suburbs."
After thinking about it, Duanmu Qing suddenly got up, took a white hosta from her head, squinted her eyes, and handed it to Cai Wei on the side, "Go find the second brother, let him take this hairpin to find someone, and then come here with him." ”
Cai Wei didn't understand this matter in her heart, but at this time, she didn't say a word and retreated quietly.
"Alright, get up!" Duanmu Qing picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, "Whether I can help you, I'm not sure, it depends on whether my brother has this ability, but I've tried my best, as for that person's injury, even if you get a thousand taels of silver, it may not be cured, I can let my master try to help you, if my master can't save him, then it is estimated that no one in the world can save him." ”
Hearing this, Astragalus's eyes lit up, and her excited look couldn't be concealed, "Miss's master is ......"
Shaking his head, Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "You will naturally know when the time comes, but I don't want others to know that I followed her to study medicine, and if I don't succeed, I will inevitably lose my teacher's reputation." ”
In this way, Astragalus didn't ask much, and followed Duanmu Qing to wait for news quietly and anxiously.
An hour passed, and I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and I was overjoyed, and before I could stand up, I saw a yellow shadow rushing towards the door.
