Chapter 36: Waiting for the Rescue
Ruan Mianmian leaned back in the thatch and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head: "Wait, I seem to remember something." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they all gathered around and listened to Ruan Mianmian. "I don't know if you noticed the girl next to me today, I felt familiar when I saw her today, but I didn't recognize the dress, I thought about it carefully just now, it may be an orphan here in the past, called Xiao Jiu, who is fifteen years old this year, I'm afraid that he was taken captive by this horse member to be a concubine."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes were a little melancholy, she didn't expect that the cheerful girl who used to wear the same tattered clothes but often laughed happily was now dressed as a woman, and she was submissive to the old and greasy middle-aged man.
"It's really shameless, that horse member has a fat head and big ears, and he looks like he has to be fifty years old, and his hair is half white, and he even touches the little girl who hasn't reached the end of his life, phew." Jiang Xinyue took a big gulp on the ground.
"I'm afraid that the horseman usually spoils this girl, and he really wronged her." Uncle Hua said regretfully.
"Alas, it's all fate." Ruan Mianmian sighed, shrunk back to Fang Cannon's shoulder, and stopped talking.
This night is very long for the people of Yipinxiang, although Yipinxiang is not a wealthy gentleman, but the family background is also solid, Mu Ruqing treats them as family again, and their life is better than that of ordinary rich and noble families. This suddenly fell to this point, there was not even a light or anything to keep warm, and I stayed up all night, and I barely fell asleep.
When the sky was bright, there was a noisy sound outside the courtyard gate, it seemed that the vicious old woman from yesterday had brought some people into this room.
Yipinxiang and the others were like a great enemy, and they hurriedly stood up to protect Ruan Mianmian, they had already guessed what these people were here to do, and they must not let them take Ruan Mianmian away like this.
The mother-in-law said something to the nursing home at the door, and the door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and the mother-in-law led a few women dressed as peasant women in, looked at Ruan Mianmian and said, "Hold her down, put a hijab on her and take her away." ”
The mothers-in-law walked over with the fiery dragon and phoenix hijab. Jiang Xinyue, how could they let these people succeed, they had already held the things that could be used in their hands, Jiang Xinyue was holding her own sword, Mu Ruqing took a wooden stick, and Jiang Xinyue was a dagger for self-defense. As soon as the mothers-in-law came in, Jiang Xinyue kicked out, and the woman walking in front flew out of the air for a meter, fell to the ground in response, and was directly kicked out of the door by Jiang Xinyue.
The remaining mothers-in-law paused, and were also driven out by Mu Ruqing and Liu Xin'er half-beaten and half-intimidated, and Yipinxiang and the others protected Ruan Mianmian in the middle, and took the opportunity to leave the room and go to the courtyard.
The guards outside the yard have already surrounded them, and there are twenty or thirty people at a rough glance, and I don't know if there are helpers outside the yard, if this group of old and young wants to break out, it is really not easy, their current strategy is to delay, pinning their hopes on Xiaoliu, if his thing is done, then everyone will be able to get out intact.
Last night, Mu Ruqing's method was to let Xiaoliu go out from behind, go to the plum garden on the outskirts of Beijing to see the king of England, and ask the king for help, the reason why he was not looking for the Marquis of Anyang, because the city gate was closed after dark, and Xiaoliu couldn't enter the inner city at all, even if he went in, it was not easy to find a Hou Mansion, unlike the famous plum garden of the king of England, but anyone who lived near the capital did not know the approximate location of the garden, and he secretly stuffed the jade pendant on his body to Xiaoliu, and the king of England naturally knew that it was true when he saw the jade pendant.
It's just that this night has passed, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts, in case something goes wrong on Xiaoliu's side and stumbles on the way, or the king is not in the plum garden at all, it will be a failure, and he can only fight to the death.
Seeing that those mothers-in-law were temporarily repulsed, but these nurses were still eyeing each other, Ruan Mianmian said to Jiang Xinyue with some despair: "Sister Yue, why don't you run away with Brother Mu and the others first, they can't do anything to me for the time being, and then find someone to save me immediately after I go out, otherwise everyone is trapped here." ”
Jiang Xinyue raised her sword, stared at those guards, and said: "Stinky girl, what nonsense, you and Brother Mu will not leave you here, and you don't want to think about what if you have a bad day, what will happen to the cannons, and what will we do." ”
The two groups of people were in a stalemate for a while, and the woman shouted in the back a little noisyly: "Hurry up and grab that girl, and when the adults come back and don't see anyone, we all want to eat the board!" ”
When the leading nurse heard this, his eyes were crossed, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and with a wave of the long knife in his hand, the rest of the courtyard surrounded him, and the encirclement slowly tightened, and he raised the knife or wooden stick in his hand and walked towards them. Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue also responded to the call, rushed out left and right, and shouted sharply: "I see who dares to come over!" ”
Jiang Xinyue rose to his feet, and in an instant, he used his sword to pick off several weapons in the hands of the guards, and when he pulled the arms of a guard, he wailed, his right hand was dislocated, and he couldn't get up on the ground.
Here Mu Ruqing also ran out, he is also a person who has practiced cooking skills for many years, he has great strength in his hands, holding the wooden stick and knocking it down on their heads, knocking out the two nurses in a blink of an eye. Liu Xin'er held the dagger and swung it indiscriminately, this dagger was extremely sharp, cutting the shoulder of a nurse who tried to rush up, and the people who were also shocked did not dare to approach too much.
It's just that after all, Jiang Xinyue is the only one who is good at kung fu, and after a short time, Mu Ruqing, Liu Xin'er, and Fang Dacang are already out of breath, and they are a little exhausted, and Jiang Xinyue, who is slightly better, is also sweating on her forehead.
I didn't sleep all night, and I just ate a few pieces of broken steamed buns, and everyone was already on the verge of bearing, but now they fought for a while, and they still couldn't support it.
When a new wave of nurses came over, several people retreated to Ruan Mianmian's side to rest, but those guards had already seen that they had reached the end of the crossbow, and refused to give them a chance to relax, so they rushed forward without pause.
Seeing that the fight was about to start again, Ruan Mianmian, who had been standing in the middle and did not move, suddenly shouted: "Stop fighting!" Let them go, I'll go with you! ”
Those guards really stopped, and the people who were a pint of incense also looked back at Ruan Mianmian in shock at the same time, Fang Cannon tightly grabbed Ruan Mianmian's hand to prevent her from moving, but Ruan Mianmian's eyes looked at death as if she were at home, which everyone had never seen before.
"Oh? Would you really like to come with us? The woman was fierce and shrewd: "Then you come by yourself, and we will release your accomplices." ”
"Can you do what you say?" Ruan Mianmian asked rhetorically.
"That's natural, you come here, we will definitely not stop them if they want to leave." The mother-in-law shook the red hijab in her hand.
Ruan Mianmian wanted to break free from Fang Cannon's hand, but he held it steadily, refusing to let go, his eyes were full of tears: "Mianmian, I will never allow you to go into danger." ”
Just when everyone was deadlocked, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and the woman with the hijab said proudly: "The people outside the horsemen are coming, and none of you want to run." “
The person who tasted incense was almost desperate, and big tears fell from Ruan Mianmian's eyes, leaning on Fang Dacang's arms.
The sound of the horses' hoofs was near, and when they reached the door, many people heard the sound of Suo dismounting, and saw many people rushing in suddenly, dressed in bright silver armor, shining in the morning light. The person who walked in front held a sword in his hand, the black and gold armor was extraordinary, the straight spine was straight and upright, and the person who was a pint of incense breathed a sigh of relief, and the person who came was the king of England.
He rushed in with people without saying a word, his eyes were as bloodthirsty and crazy as a light, and when he saw Ruan Mianmian in Fang Cannon's arms intact, he calmed his mind and ordered in a low voice: "These villains, catch them alive, listen to my fate." took another team of people and killed them in the outer mansion, leaving no survivors except for the female dependents. “
The guards around him left in response, the guards of the Marquis of Anyang were all well-trained, and the scene was turned over in an instant, those guards only relied on the large number of people to suppress the people who were not in a good state, and now the people who came to the King of England were almost immediately dispersed, and they were tied up with ropes by the guards of the King of England one by one and thrown to the ground, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.
The people of Yipinxiang were also carried to the side of the king, and sat on the ground, and they were all tired, and the king brought some food and water, and they all rested at once.
Liu Xin'er was already trying her best to relax at this time, and she couldn't support it, and she fainted in front of her, Jiang Xinyue hurriedly caught her, helped her to the side to rest, and the white guard behind the king saw that Liu Xin'er had fainted, and he didn't care about any rules, so he walked quickly to Liu Xin'er's side, his face was anxious.
Jiang Xinyue, how could she not understand, hooked the corner of her lower lip and handed Liu Xin'er's body to him, the guard took over Liu Xin'er's light body, and was a little at a loss for a while, hurriedly picked her up, her face was slightly red, and she sat down lightly with her hands and feet, let Liu Xin'er lean on herself, and took out the kettle to feed her water.
King Lu Gui, who was watching from the sidelines, also realized at this time, and walked to the side of Yipinxiang and everyone with a smile: "You guys rest and rest first, and then we will go to the Yuanwaifu and uproot it." “
Lu Gui squatted down, took out the turtle given by Ruan Mianmian from his cuff and put it aside, picked up a branch and gestured on the ground.
Everyone watched, he drew a messy turtle in a few clicks, as if it was painted compared to the turtle on the ground, but he really couldn't talk about painting skills, and everyone was messy.
Ruan Mianmian leaned on Fang Dacang's arms to drink water at this time, suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously to Lu: "Brother Lu, do you see a little boy delivering a letter?" Where is he now? “
