After turning around, there seemed to be no one around, Zhu Jingyan did not dismount, and his eyes were sinking around.
"This way!" A whistle came from the dark night, and when he looked at it, a figure was moving swiftly in the direction of the mountain, not slow, but not fast, just enough to keep Zhu Jingyan from getting lost, but he couldn't catch up.
Xiaotang Mountain is not high, and most of the mountains are the homes of the powerful in Beijing, and even the royal hot spring palaces or annexes. It's just that this time is very well chosen, during the national funeral, and it has just entered autumn, the courtyard on this small soup mountain is mostly vacant, and only a few people are left in each courtyard to guard, and the courtyard door is closed, in this dark night, it is like an empty mountain.
Zhu Jingyu followed the man on his horse, until he could no longer move in front of him, so he jumped off the horse, followed the man, and continued to walk forward.
But it is getting further and further apathetic, but the road is gradually smoothing down from the top. Until there is a mountain cliff in front of you, you can faintly hear the sound of water.
The cliff is not high, but it is also a cliff.
What's more, there was a torch burning on the edge of the cliff, and a woman was tied hand and foot, hanging on a tree with a crooked neck on the edge of the cliff, hanging in the air under her feet, and there was a mountain stream dozens of meters high below.
Zhu Jingyan frowned, and subconsciously walked towards the figure. Even in this dark night, at a distance, the woman still had a cloth cover on her head, and she couldn't tell whether it was Gu Huan or not. In fact, after not seeing her for many years, even if Gu Huan was in front of him at this time, the eighteenth change of the female university, he might not be able to recognize her at a glance just from her figure, right?
In an instant, Zhu Jingyan's heart jumped twice rapidly, even if there was no clue on his face, but the eagerness between his steps still betrayed him.
"Don't worry, the third son!" At this moment, a bright steel knife was raised, pointing at the rope that hung the woman from the tree, and those who were also standing on the edge of the cliff, surrounded the woman, and the kidnappers with black scarves on their faces stared at Zhu Jingyun with bright eyes.
Zhu Jingyan walked in a moment, his eyes were still fixed on the woman, his eyebrows wrinkled a deep fold, and he turned his hand and took out a cloth bag from the placket of his clothes and spoke to him, obviously the one who led the group and threw it away, "The silver you want!" ”
The man took the cloth bag, took out the silver ticket inside, lit it by the light of the torch, and his eyes flashed with two points of satisfaction, "The third prince is true and true, and the number is right!" ”
Zhu Jingyan's eyes were still firmly glued to the woman who was gently kicking her feet and screaming vaguely in her mouth, and when she looked at these people, her face was idle, and there was two points of impatience on her face, "Since you have already experienced what you want, you still don't let people go?" ”
"The third prince is so happy, we naturally don't want to procrastinate! Little ones, let them go! As he spoke, the man unceremoniously tucked the bag back to his chest.
His subordinates were obedient, neatly pulled out the blade, and cut the rope, the other person had already pulled the rope, and caught the woman with a skill, and when the hand was around the woman's waist, he smiled and touched it, without seeing Zhu Jingyan's dark face for a moment, "Come on!" Third son, the person gave it to you, and then! The words fell, but they threw the person directly over.
All kinds of dark light flashed under Zhu Jingyu's eyes, and between the lightning and flint, he still stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and caught the person.
Just before he could take off the cloth bag covering his head and take a look, he heard the leader laugh and say, "The silver and goods are in good hands, and we have made this deal." Although the third son is a cheerful person, but our brother is very unlucky, and he just took over the next business, all to support his family, only sorry, the third son! ”
The voice that came from behind the man's face was obviously smiling, but it didn't make people feel half of the warmth, and between the words, he and his subordinates had already shown the blades in their hands, and under the light of the torches, the tips and blades were glowing with snowy light, stained with a little rain, revealing the coldness of the forest.
"Little ones, come on! Send the third son on the road! As the words fell, those swords and swords slashed towards Zhu Jingyan at the same time. Zhu Jingyan hugged the person in his arms, took two steps back, and at the same time, several black shadows shot out from behind him, and in a blink of an eye, he fought with those kidnappers.
Those kidnappers didn't expect that Zhu Jingyan didn't come alone, although they didn't figure it out, they had repeatedly confirmed that there was no tail behind him, how these people kept up, but they couldn't care about it now. The people brought by Zhu Jingyan are all masters, but if they were a group of outlaws, they would not have taken over this business in the first place, and the two sides fought together, and for a while, the fight was inseparable.
Zhu Jingyu finally had time to uncover the cloth bag on the woman's head at this time, the bag was removed, and in the drizzle, a woman's face was reflected in the faint firelight, and he squinted slightly....... The light under his eyes faded little by little.
"Childe!" I don't know how long it took, the sound of the handover of swords and soldiers gradually weakened, and Fang Nan's voice sounded on the side, Zhu Jingyan raised his head, looked coldly at the few figures who were looking at the gaps, and fled to the dark night, with a wisp of blade-like coldness in his thin lips, and said coldly, "Quietly catch up!" ”
Fang Nan answered the order, and led people to chase after him.
Zhu Jingyan had already pushed the woman in his arms away, stood up, and gently flicked the placket and cuffs, Rong Feng was already holding an umbrella very eye-catchingly, covering the top of Zhu Jingyan's head.
Zhu Jingyan was condescending, glanced down at the woman who fell to the ground, and said without warmth, "Bring people back, I want to ask!" Then, he took a step forward with the people.
However, after only two steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he stopped, the two secret guards in front of him hurriedly shouted "Childe be careful", and several sounds of breaking the air were already coming from the front, and the two secret guards in front of him fell to the ground in response.
The rest of the remaining guards immediately drew their blades, and a few rushed out, while others surrounded him.
In autumn, the night has been growing day by day, and I don't know how long it has been, but this night still seems to have no end. Acacia was lying on the couch, tossing and turning, but there was no sleep. Listening to the rain outside at night, hitting the leaves, she became more and more conscious, and she couldn't sleep left and right, so she simply got up in her clothes, and bent her knees and hugged herself on the bed for a while.
The ticking sound of the Western clock hanging on the wall reminded her spirit, and she turned her head to look at the clock, thinking that the hour was almost up, so she simply got up and lit the lamp.
The maid who was keeping vigil outside was awakened, and hurriedly got up and looked, "Does the girl have any orders?" ”
"It's nothing, Ye should be back soon, I'll get up and go to meet him."
The maid turned her head to look at the dark night outside the window, which was so thick that there was no end in sight, she muttered in her heart, but turned her head to see that the lovesickness did not seem to be laughing, and when she was stunned, she had already dressed herself, and was busy cheering up, quietly hiding a yawn, and stepped forward to help.
