Chapter 422: Meeting
Lin Yingxin and his wife turned their heads at the same time when they heard the voice, and saw a group of officers and soldiers walking menacingly towards the dock, and as they walked, they were looking for someone.
Regardless of whether these officers and soldiers were coming for them or not, Lin Yingxin and his wife were already frightened birds, and when they saw the officers and soldiers, they were so flustered that they wanted to find a place to hide.
But the docks are in such chaos now, where can they hide?
Just when Lin Yingxin and his wife were in chaos, a man suddenly pushed aside the crowd, walked to them like the wind, and pulled people into a cargo ship before they could react.
"You are?" Lin Yingxin and his wife looked at the ordinary-looking man in front of them with a look of confusion.
The 'shhh' man didn't immediately answer Lin Yingxin's and his wife's doubts, but made a boo gesture and said, "Now is not the time to talk, I'll explain it to the two of you in detail later." ”
At present, the officers and soldiers are searching outside, and Lin Yingxin and his wife are really not in the mood to worry too much about other issues.
The three of them hid in the cabin with their children, nervously listening to the movement outside.
It seemed to have searched their vicinity, and several people heard footsteps getting closer, "Is there anyone else here?" ”
A voice came from outside the cabin, Lin Yingxin was so nervous that he immediately pinched Murong Jing beside him, Murong Jing's face turned purple, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"This is a cargo ship, the hold is full of goods, and people are moving goods on it, so there should be no one inside." A respectful voice came from above, and it sounded like the owner of the ship was answering.
The officer seemed to believe what the owner had said, and went up after turning outside, but did not come inside.
"Come, everybody, keep working!" After a while, the noise was back to what it had been.
It seems that the officers and soldiers are gone. Lin Yingxin breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with relief.
And Murong Jing on the side was also relieved, rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arm, only to see that the place that had been pinched by Lin Yingxin had already been bruised, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Hui'er, who had been nesting quietly in Murong Jing's arms, hurriedly pulled her father's arm and blew it with distress on her face.
But the same thing as Murong Jing is that although the two father and daughter have a look of grief on their faces, they are afraid of Lin Yingxin's might, and they dare not speak out.
"Let's go." Seeing that the outside was calm, Lu Ming whispered to the couple.
The two nodded, and followed Lu Ming out cautiously.
After walking all the way to safety, Lu Ming stopped and saluted the two, "Subordinate Lu Ming, I have seen the prince and princess." ”
Seeing that Lu Ming recognized the identities of the two of them, both of them were shocked, Murong Jing hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out a hand to help Lu Ming, "No need to be polite, Meng Yi is now cleaning up the forces related to Ah Jun in the whole city." ”
"We are no longer princes and princesses now, we are just an ordinary family of three looking for a place of refuge."
When Murong Jing said this, his face was full of bitterness.
However, Lin Yingxin looked very calm from beginning to end, "Are you the guard next to Ah Jun?" Where are Jun and Yingxue now? And how did you recognize us? ”
Lin Yingxin asked several questions in a row, and Lu Ming lowered his head and replied respectfully: "This matter is a long story, so my subordinates should take the two of them to find a place to sit down and talk about it." ”
According to Lu Ming, he was Murong Jun's secret guard when he was in the imperial city, and he was always responsible for collecting intelligence in the imperial city, so he knew Murong Jing and Lin Yingxin well, but the two of them didn't necessarily recognize him.
When he was moving goods at the dock just now, he immediately recognized the two of them the moment he saw them, so he was able to take the two of them into hiding in time before the officers and soldiers found out.
“…… As for the fifth girl Lin has not been with her master for a long time, the master risked his life to put down all the people and things in his hand before, and traveled thousands of miles to southern Xinjiang to find the fifth girl,"
"But unexpectedly, the five girls were already with the king of Nanjiang, so we went all the way back, but we didn't think that the king of Nanjiang had already bought the master's allies, and when the master was away, that person took the northwest with the power of the king of Nanjiang......"
Xu touched the hidden wound in his heart, Lu Ming clenched his fists when he said this, and a clear killing intent appeared on his dark face.
"So, how is A-Jun now?" Murong Jing asked anxiously.
They were closed to news in the imperial city, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, so they naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the things outside, but they didn't expect Murong Jun's situation to be even more miserable than them.
They originally thought that as long as they could find Murong Jun, their family of three would be safe for the time being, but now it seems that everything is just a fantasy for them.
"I can take the two of you to see the master, but the master's current situation is not very good, and the two of them have to have a bottom in their hearts first." Lu Ming confessed a little heavily.
When Lin Yingxin and his wife heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other - even if a person like Murong Jun was hit, how could he be depressed?
It wasn't until the moment they saw Murong Jun that Lin Yingxin and his wife felt how wrong their thoughts were.
"There are people there, a total of one or two pieces of silver." Lu Ming led the two into an inn.
As soon as he saw Lu Ming, the shopkeeper in the inn came over and pointed to the side, quite impatiently.
Lu Ming didn't say much when he heard this, silently took out some broken silver from his waist, made up enough one or two, and handed it to the shopkeeper.
Xiao Er lowered his head and weighed it, and when he saw that the weight was correct, he turned around and went to other things.
During the whole process, the dialogue and movements of the two were so skillful, without a single word of nonsense, it was not the first time at a glance.
"Let's go." After paying the bill, Lu Ming took the couple and walked in the direction of Xiao Er's finger, only to see a man dressed in dirty clothes lying on the table, and before they got closer, the two of them had already smelled the strong smell of wine emanating from the man's body.
Is this person really Murong Jun? Before Lu Ming turned the person over, the couple was still questioning in their hearts, until they saw Murong Jun's unshaven beard and emaciated and unkempt face, and the doubts in their hearts subsided.
It's just that the two of them couldn't connect the depressed man in front of them, almost indistinguishable from the beggar outside, with the personable son in their impression.
It's no wonder that the deer underworld prepared them mentally before they came, and it's no wonder that a well-trained and martial arts secret guard in the Deer Hades Hall ended up being reduced to going to the dock to move goods to earn silver.
I'm afraid that all this is because of Murong Jun's decadence, and in order to afford Murong Jun's daily wine money, Lu Ming has to do this.
"Master." Lu Ming stepped forward and gently pushed Murong Jun, but the person lying on the table did not move.
"Let's go back to our room and sit down and talk slowly." Lu Ming frowned slightly, squatted down to carry Murong Jun on his shoulder, and led the two of them towards the room upstairs.
Lin Yingxin and his wife kept up with Lu Ming's pace with heavy faces. After the few people arrived at the upstairs room, Lu Ming first wet a towel and wiped Murong Jun's face with cold water, and then called Murong Jun a few times.
This time, Murong Jun finally woke up, "Master, King Jing and Princess Jing are here." Lu Ming whispered beside the bed.
"A-kun!" Murong Jing called out to Murong Jun with a complicated expression, but Murong Jun only glanced at the couple with empty eyes, and then closed his eyes again.
"This ......" Murong Jing thought that Murong Jun would have some reaction when he saw them, but he didn't expect the person on the bed to be so calm, calm and even a little cold.
"Since he came back from southern Xinjiang, the master has been in such a state." As if seeing through the doubts in Murong Jing's heart, Lu Ming spoke on the side.
"So that's ......" Murong Jing didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.
In the end, Lin Yingxin stood up and gently bumped into Murong Jing, and then took the child with wide eyes and a confused face from Murong Jing's arms, and motioned Murong Jing to step forward and say something with his eyes.
His wife had given orders, and even if Murong Jing couldn't think of what to say, he had to rush forward.
"A-kun." Murong Jing sat down on the edge of Murong Jun's bed, rubbed his clothes and said a little crampedly: "As the saying goes, there is no grass at the end of the world. Although Yingxue is a good girl, but the two of you have no fate, so don't be too persistent......"
When it comes to government affairs, Murong Jing may be able to say a few words, but he is really not good at this matter of children's affection, and such a short sentence has already been thought up by him.
It's a pity that the person on the bed still closed his eyes tightly after hearing this, and there was no movement at all.
If it weren't for the slightly heaving chest, I'm afraid others would have thought that there was a dead man lying on the bed......
"What should I do?" Seeing this embarrassing situation, Murong Jing couldn't help but turn his head and cast a look of help at Lin Yingxin.
"The master must be tired, so it's better for his subordinates to arrange a room for the two of them to live next door first." In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Lin Yingxin didn't open her mouth to respond, and Lu Ming on the side hurriedly spoke.
"Okay." Lin Yingxin nodded-looking at Murong Jun's appearance, I'm afraid she won't be able to cheer up for a while, she has to think of another way to let their family of three settle down.
After living next door, Lin Ying didn't say a word, and sat in the room with a sad look. Murong Jing coaxed the child to sleep, and then hurriedly came over and asked Lin Yingxin, "Madam, what are we going to do next?" ”
Originally, they wanted to defect to Murong Jun, but now Murong Jun's situation is even worse than theirs, and seeing that Murong Jun can't count on it, they should have other plans.
Hearing Murong Jing's question, Lin Yingxin seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said horizontally: "I see...... Why don't we let Ah Jun escort us to southern Xinjiang. ”
