Chapter 70: The Ferry Turmoil
There was the sound of the wind, and the sound of the wheels turning......
Where is this?
Qin Huai's consciousness gradually cleared up, but his body couldn't move. She only felt that her body was soft, and she was afraid that she had been drugged, and the effect of the medicine had not completely dissipated.
She didn't even see who had kidnapped her, and she didn't know how she had passed out.
Qin Huai was about to struggle, but with a slight movement of his head, he touched the surrounding occlusion. In such a small space where he couldn't see his fingers, fear spread all over his body, Qin Huai couldn't help but tremble, and his teeth were chattering.
What exactly was the purpose of these people who tied her, and who sent them?
Although there was no light here, she had not lost her sense of smell, Qin Huai smelled a smell of wood soaking in water and rotting, and even a trace of grass, mixed with strange and unpleasant smells.
"Big brother, this is just a girl, killing chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, why bother to invite a few of our brothers to come out of the nest to do this little thing."
A rough voice sounded outside the wooden box, and it also gave Qin Huai some hints.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, this letter is clearly written, this woman should not be underestimated."
Another faint voice was coming from the other side, apparently the mastermind of the whole thing.
It took her a moment to react, and she felt that she was being dragged along by something that I didn't know whether it was a donkey cart or a horse-drawn cart, and the road was very bumpy, and it seemed that it was not an ordinary avenue, but a remote path.
In the face of all the unknowns, Qin Huai didn't know what she should do to save herself at this moment, in case she really couldn't escape, how much self-blame Gu Baixiu would have......
In the wooden box, every uphill and downward trip would make her scratch around in this hard, wet box. She forced herself to calm down and tried to convince herself that Gu Baixiu would definitely come to save her.
Time was so hard for her that she didn't realize she was crying until a drop of water slipped to her lips.
This kind of suffering is the first time Qin Huai has eaten it, she didn't know that the people really had this kind of prevention of killing people and selling goods, and this kind of organization even found her head one day. I'm afraid that the princess will do this job, and she will be regarded as the first person in ancient and modern times.
I hope Gu Baixiu can find himself sooner......
It's all his fault, why didn't he leave an inch of himself, but he was deceived by a small sound, if Liu Yanxin came back, she must sue fiercely and let Liu Yanxin beat him up!
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, as if someone had flipped over and was opening her box again.
What is this going for? Isn't this going to send her on her way......
There is no light in this place, and you can only see two or three points with the help of the moonlight. A scarred hand pulled her out of the box, and the next threw her to the ground.
"I ......"
After falling out of the box, this violent impact made Qin Huai unable to help herself, because she was tied hand and foot, she couldn't even do a good job of rough protection, as if her bones were about to break.
But Qin Huai knew that this was just the beginning, she endured the pain in her waist and curled up, looking at the few burly men in front of her with concern.
Gradually becoming familiar with such a dim night, Qin Huai could hear the sound of the water, here...... It's a ferry. What did they bring themselves here for!
These people looked to be almost thirty years old, with dark skin and a sturdy body. The person who threw her still had a sincere smile, but when she moved her hands, it didn't match her appearance.
"It's a pity that this face is alluring to the country and the city, if it is sold to the bustard's mother in the drunken flower building, this is a good product that I refuse to sell for eight hundred taels of silver tickets."
The man who spoke was bare-chested, with fat on his stomach, staring at Qin Huai with squinting eyes.
"What nonsense? The king of Hades wants her to die in the third watch, how can it be delayed until the fifth watch. Hurry up and start Shenjiang, wait until you can't bubble and go back, Yunzhou City has been under martial law recently. ”
It's still the one who gives orders, like their big brother, but as soon as he speaks, no one around him dares to squeak anymore.
But Shen Jiang ...... Who hated her so much that he wanted her to drown?
Summoning up his courage, Qin Huai asked tremblingly: "Who are you...... Let me go! ”
"I said, girl, someone pays a lot of money for your life, and our brothers can only offend."
Spend money to buy life, money ...... Isn't it just money! As long as these people are trying to make money, then she still has a chance to live!
"Who made you do this? He...... How much did he pay? I'm out double! No, five times! ”
Qin Huai's words were almost shouted.
"This ......"
Some people were moved, but they were quickly stopped by the swarthy man who led them.
"The brothers are all mixed up on the road, and doing business depends on integrity, I can only say that you are unlucky, girl, and you met a few of us. For now, you should pray for a good birth in your next life. ”
What do you mean.
It's ridiculous to cast a good baby.
Isn't the life of a princess in this world, who is full of thousands of honors and favors, be considered a good fetus?
The hand of one of the scarred people was about to pinch Qin Huai's face, Qin Huai hurriedly curled up and retreated, but he really couldn't match the speed of the man's bullying.
But before his hand could pinch Qin Huai's face, he was kicked far away, and his body struggled a few times and he couldn't get up.
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the saber at his waist, looking vigilantly at the man in white who appeared out of nowhere.
"Gu Baixiu! Gu Baixiu! Save me, save me! ”
Seeing Gu Baixiu's appearance, Qin Huai's whole person was like grasping a life-saving straw, and she quickly struggled to move towards Gu Baixiu's side.
As soon as Gu Baixiu's scabbard opened and closed, the rope that bound Qin Huai's hands and feet was untied.
"Don't be afraid, princess, I'm late."
Not too late, not too late.
The crisis has not yet been resolved, this is the first time Qin Huai has seen Bai Xiu draw his sword to face the enemy, he is as tall as a pine, blocking in front of Qin Huai to prevent others from approaching.
His sword moves are powerful, majestic, and powerful enough to shock people's hearts.
Gu Baixiu's face was always so pure and indifferent, even if he hurt someone, he was not ruthless, and the sharp blade pierced the arms and calves of those strong men.
Some of them were injured and collapsed to the ground, some were so frightened that they were urinating, but one of them quietly walked around behind Qin Huai and pressed a dagger glowing with cold light against Qin Huai's neck.
"Stop! Stop it! Are you deaf! Hear no! ”
Qin Huai was held against him and didn't dare to move, and when he really thought about what Gu Bai Xiu would do, he saw that the man in white not far away raised his eyes slightly, but slowly approached, without any hint of being threatened at all.
Watching his sword-holding hand lift, he suddenly turned sideways and flashed a cold light.
After Gu Baixiu made a move, the long sword pointed directly at the throat of the person in charge, and at that moment, the seven or eight people all fell silent.
The entire ferry could even hear the sound of branches and leaves falling to the ground, and Qin Huai even heard someone's low inhalation, and they all looked at Gu Baixiu with wide eyes. There were even people blinking vigorously, as if they couldn't believe that the man in front of them could unleash his sword so fast.
These people were not Gu Baixiu's opponents at all, but they were defeated in a few moves, and they fell to the ground on all fours.
"Who are you...... No, you're not human at all. ”
The fat pig who wanted to sell Qin Huai into the kiln before couldn't swallow this breath, and pointed at Gu Baixiu drunk and scolded.
But Gu Baixiu ignored them, walked straight to Qin Huai, and helped her to protect her into his arms.
Qin Huai was covered by Gu Baixiu's warmth for a while, threw himself into his arms and hugged him tighter, tears like sliding pearls, and he couldn't stop.
As long as she cried, Gu Baixiu hugged him for as long as she could, and it wasn't until Qin Huai stopped whimpering that Gu Baixiu asked in a low voice, "Who sent you?" ”
These people knew that Gu Baixiu was not easy to mess with, and they only dared to tell the truth, and they never dared to prevaricate.
"Woman, it's a woman! She said that as long as she sank this woman into the river, she would be able to get a hundred taels of gold when she brought a piece of clothing back to the business. ”
One hundred taels of gold is not a small amount in Yunzhou, and it is definitely not an ordinary person who can come up with such a large price.
Besides, now that Cao Yingying has left Yunzhou, it will definitely not be her to explain. Then who else can there be besides makeup.
"When and where!"
Qin Huai had a plan in his heart, this person who wanted to take her life must not be spared, it is better to plan it! She was lying on Gu Baixiu's chest, and I questioned with both hands.
"Tomorrow! Inside the Guanyang Inn! ”
After hearing this, Qin Huai tore the corners of the dress on his body, handed it to Gu Baixiu, and motioned for him to take it to the man.
"Today I will spare your lives, and tomorrow I will pass on time, and I will say that the matter has been done, take the one hundred taels of gold and wash my hands and leave Yunzhou, otherwise I want you to regret meeting me in your life!"
From beginning to end, Qin Huai's eyes never stopped at those people, because she was afraid of seeing blood, so she only dared to fake the tiger in Gu Baixiu's arms.
When those people saw that Qin Huai had given them such a good errand, they couldn't believe it, but they were the first one to react quickly and begged first.
"Yes, Grandma! Thank you for your kindness! ”
Gu Baixiu also discovered Qin Huai's fear of this meeting, he saw that the matter had been dealt with, so he left with Qin Huai in his arms, and the two of them swept across this ferry, under their feet was a green bamboo forest, and occasionally birds and birds passed by, but Qin Huai had no intention of appreciating it.
The breeze blew through Qin Huai's earlobe, she felt a little chilly, and unconsciously shrank into Gu Baixiu's arms.
Gu Baixiu noticed her movements, covered her cheeks with his robe, and apologized in a deep voice.
"Princess, I didn't protect the princess well and let the princess put her in danger. Gu Baixiu is sorry princess. ”
Qin Huai wasn't really angry, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid she wouldn't really be able to go back today.
"Don't say that, you saved me."
"...... now"
Now that she has ordered those people to go on an errand, Yan Xiangcheng must think that she has been buried at the bottom of the lake, and there will be a good show to watch tomorrow.
"We all know who the person who wants me to die is, and now going back to the Yan family is the safest choice, I will let Mingyue find someone to keep an eye on the Guanyang Inn, and I will definitely be able to take those people down in one fell swoop when the time comes."
Back in the yard, Mingyue seemed to have cried, hugging Qin Huai for a long time and never letting go, Qin Huai comforted her for a while before this girl was willing to go back to the house to sleep.
Qin Huai remembered the previous request, picked up the damaged rabbit lamp on the stone table, and then recalled tonight's episode, thinking that Gu Baixiu had also hugged her for a long time.
