Chapter 022: Mo Xiaoxue and Jiang Chen

Back at the inn, the two of them ate some coarse food served by the inn, and Anmu went back to the house to sleep. Jiang Chen couldn't sleep a little, he was a little aware of the bed, and he hadn't slept well in the past few days, so he wanted to go out and walk around. Continuing to walk through the small night market, he thought in his heart that the capital was a big place, different from that small village, it was so lively all the time, and before he knew it, he had walked a long way.

Jiang Chen looked at the brightly lit capital as he walked, feeling a little desolate in his heart, and thinking of the Yue prince that those people said today, he was born as a royal prince and nobleman, and he had no worries about food and clothing all his life. Thinking about it, I naturally don't know the pain of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but I have no way out except for fame.

As I walked, I looked up and saw a deep house compound in front of me, with two big characters written on the plaque: 'Xiangfu'. Jiang Chen thought of the young lady he saw during the day, the vendor seemed to have said that she was a young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he couldn't help but stop for a moment when he thought of this.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the wall, fortunately, the surrounding area was illuminated by the street lamp, Jiang Chen vaguely saw that the man was dressed in black, masked, vaguely a man. The man in black was also carrying a sack on his shoulder, and the shape looked like a person.

Jiang Chen was startled, and hurriedly hid himself and looked carefully. The man in black walked up the wall with a sack on his back, and Jiang Chen thought in his heart that saving someone's life would be better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, so he quietly followed.

Jiang Chen ran almost lifelessly, and it was easy to keep up with the man, until he chased a deserted mansion, and the man in black disappeared with a flash.

Jiang Chen looked around at the door, and saw that the door was locked, and there was a pile of stones under the left wall, so he piled up those stones and stepped on them to look inside. This deserted house is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few people around, so the surrounding area is pitch black, and only a faint moonlight can only faintly see that there seem to be figures flickering back and forth in the house.

Thinking that since that person can fly the eaves and walk the wall, he must be an unintentional and strong person, Jiang Chen didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only squat in the corner not far away, staring quietly. As soon as the man came out of it, he had a chance to save the man in the sack.

It wasn't until dawn that the black-clothed man climbed over the wall and went out, Jiang Chen didn't sleep all night, and his expression was already a little trance-like. Seeing that the man was far away, he patted his face and cheered up. Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped on the stones piled up in the corner of the wall last night and climbed in.

Jiang Chen jumped down from the wall and saw clearly, this place should have been abandoned for a long time, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. He crept into the house, which was already dilapidated, with a haystack in the corner, and the sack lying on it.

Jiang Chen carefully untied the sack and revealed a small foot. Jiang Chen said in his heart: It is really a person inside.

He hurriedly lifted the sack, and only then did Jiang Chen see clearly, this ...... Isn't this the Miss Mo from the Prime Minister's Mansion that I saw on the street yesterday? Such a beautiful woman will be remembered when she sees her, and Jiang Chen will never admit her mistake.

As soon as Mo Xiaoxue saw this person, she struggled desperately, and Jiang Chen said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you, don't shout, I'll let you go." ”

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoxue calmed down a little, and saw that this person was a kind-hearted person, so she believed his words.

Jiang Chen took out the handkerchief she was stuffing in her mouth, and went around behind her to untie the rope for her.

Mo Xiaoxue's hands and feet were free, and then she cried and said, "Who are you?" Why did you come to save me? ”

Jiang Chen helped her up and said, "Let's go out first." ”

Jiang Chen led her out of the house and came to the side. first picked her up, told her to go out, and then jumped on the wall himself, and when the two of them got out of the deserted house, Jiang Chen pulled her and ran in a hurry. Running to a crowded place, Jiang Chen was relieved, and the sound of Yangchun noodles was heard in his ears, Jiang Chen was already hungry, and said, "Do you want to eat a bowl of noodles, I'll send you back later." ”

Mo Xiaoxue had never eaten alone with a man, let alone eaten at such a small stall, so she was a little embarrassed, so she was silent and did not speak.

Jiang Chen saw that she didn't answer, so she acquiesced, pulled her to the noodle stall and sat down, and shouted to the boss: "Come on two bowls of Yangchun noodles." ”

"Okay, two bowls of Yangchun noodles." The boss laughed.

This time was empty, Mo Xiaoxue lowered her head and said shyly: "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Chen said: "I'm just a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and I happened to see a man in black carrying a sack coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion when I was walking last night. I waited at the door until dawn to see the man in black walk away before I dared to go in and save you. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Mo Xiaoxue sighed in her heart that this person was really righteous, and he was willing to help even if he was an irrelevant person.

After a while, the noodles came up, Jiang Chen pushed a bowl in front of her, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and said, "An eldest lady like you, you shouldn't have eaten this kind of small stall, it's delicious, you can taste it." ”

Mo Xiaoxue took the chopsticks and said, "How do you know that I am ......?"

The man had already eaten a large mouthful of noodles, and his mouth was stuffed slowly, and after swallowing all the noodles in his mouth for a while, he said, "Oh, I saw the young lady traveling in a sedan chair on the street yesterday." ”

Mo Xiaoxue had indeed been to the Yue Wangfu yesterday, and since she heard that Hua Ning had disappeared, she was also very worried. She even wondered if it was because she said those words to Hua Ning that day that made Hua Ning leave sadly, and she felt guilty in her heart. And because she heard from the third brother that Brother Xian Key's temperament has changed greatly since Hua Ning left, and she has become moody, she is also worried and wants to see him.

Who knew that when she arrived at the palace, Brother Xian Jian didn't see her at all, she waited in the front hall for a long time, and finally returned to the house without even seeing her. But after dinner that night, the maid had finished her meal, and she saw a dark shadow flashing by, and then she fainted, and when she woke up, she found that she was gagged, and her hands and feet were tied.

Jiang Chen saw that she was in a daze, and said, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when the noodles are lumpy later." ”

Mo Xiaoxue came back to her senses and ate the noodles slowly, this noodles were really delicious, and her small kitchen at home didn't make as good as this noodles.

Jiang Chen saw that she was eating quite gently, and remembered that when Hua Ning ate, she gobbled it up every time, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

When Mo Xiaoxue saw him smiling at himself, he thought that he had something on his face, and his face was a little ruddy, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "It's really rude, did I get the soup?" ”

"No, no, I just remembered it suddenly...... A friend, she is in a hurry every time she eats, and the amount of food is very large. ”

I don't know why I heard him say this, Mo Xiaoxue remembered the scene when Hua Ning ate lotus cake in her house that day, Hua Ning was also very anxious to eat like that, and Mo Xiaoxue couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.

After eating noodles, Jiang Chen sent Mo Xiaoxue to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they separated, he also instructed: "Remember to go back and ask the family to send more people to protect you, in case you are taken away again, you will not have such good luck next time." ”

Mo Xiaoxue thanked her again and again, Jiang Chen waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Mo Xiaoxue felt that he was really a good person, and felt that he would not have the opportunity to meet again in the future, so he shook his head and entered the mansion.

Jiang Chen returned to the small inn, An Mu was looking for him everywhere in a hurry, and when he saw him come back, he said, "Where have you been?" Why didn't you come back all night, I thought you were captured by a youkai. ”

Jiang Chen smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, in broad daylight, where did the monster come from?" ”

An Mu pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Hurry up, you shouldn't have secretly gone to the restaurant last night, right?" ”

This guy's thoughts are really dirty, Jiang Chen was a little angry when he said it, so he gave him a punch in the chest and said, "I won't go to that kind of nasty place." ”

Who knew that Anmu also laughed and said, "Where is it obscene?" That's Merry, you incomprehensible nerd. ”

Jiang Chen couldn't bear to be bothered, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he fell on the bed and said, "No matter whether it's romantic or obscene, I'm almost sleepy, I just want to sleep now, don't bother me." ”

After not returning to such fatigue overnight, the more Anmu thought about it, the more he felt that he had gone to the restaurant, and what was even more odious was that he didn't take him with him and went by himself.

Early in the morning on the Prime Minister's side, the rough maid in the kitchen didn't see Ruyi, the maid in the young lady's house, come to fetch food, so she thought that Ruyi had overslept. I didn't dare to delay the young lady's meal, so I asked someone from the kitchen to send it over.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ruyi lying on the ground, and the rough maid hurriedly woke Ruyi up and asked, "Why are you lying on the ground, where has the young lady gone?" ”

Ruyi remembered that when she sent the young lady back to the house last night, she felt a pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness. Ruyi said: "Oh no, Miss is afraid that she has not been taken away, hurry, go and inform the people in the house and look for it." ”

searched up and down the house, but Mo Xiaoxue was not found, so Ruyi went to report the matter to Xiangye and his wife. Madame almost fainted when she heard this, and Xiangye hurriedly called someone to call Mo Xiaoyan and Mo Xiaohan to see if there were any clues.

Mo Xiaoyan and Mo Xiaohan had just arrived in the front hall, and when the family was in a hurry, the little maid came to the legend: "Miss is back." After a while, Mo Xiaoxue came to the front hall.

Father, mother, brother, a group of people rushed up to check if she was hurt. Mo Xiaohan said: "You dead girl, where did you go early in the morning?" Worry your family. ”

Mo Xiaoxue told the story of what happened last night and this morning one by one, and the family was dumbfounded, they were really taken away, and even more coincidentally, they were rescued.

Mrs. Mo hurriedly asked, "What about the son who saved you?" ”

"He sent me back and left." Mo Xiaoxue said lightly.

Mrs. Mo sighed, poked Xiao Xue's head, and said, "You kid, people have saved your life, this is a great grace to save your life." In any case, you should thank them well, and why do you just ask them to go back. ”

Mo Xiaoxue had no experience in being kidnapped, where did she want to get this, she just pouted and didn't speak.

Xiangye Mo Junyan stroked his beard and said, "Anyway, it's good to come back safely." After speaking, he instructed the little servant to send more guards to guard the Prime Minister's Mansion firmly, and no such thing would happen in the future.

Mo Xiaohan's expression was a little complicated, and he said: "It's really strange, you are a girl in the boudoir, and you don't show your head on weekdays, how can you provoke anyone." Even if our prime minister offends anyone, he shouldn't tie up a girl, it's really a bad thing. ”

Mo Junyan also felt that what his youngest son said was very reasonable, although he was an upright official, he was very good at being a man and rarely offended others, so he really couldn't figure out how he would attract resentment.

Suddenly remembering something, Mo Xiaohan grabbed Mo Xiaoxue's arm and said, "Have you done something recently?" Or where did you go? ”

Mo Xiaoxue lowered her head and said a little shyly: "I...... I went to the Yue Wangfu yesterday and wanted to see Brother Fiberkey. However, he didn't see me, and I just waited for some time at his house and then returned. ”

Mo Xiaohan let go of his hand and said in his heart: This makes sense, now the little sick seedling is completely against the third prince Shen Qiao, that Shen Qiao has always been insidious and cunning, and regards Xiao Xue as a confidant of the little sick seedling, and it is not impossible to catch her and threaten the little sick seedling.

Thinking about it, the little sick seedling also thought of this, so he avoided her.

Maybe the little sick seedling didn't expect it, even if he avoided it, Xiao Xue was still waiting for him in the house. Shen Qiao, a despicable villain, really deserves to be cut with a thousand knives, Mo Xiaohan thought viciously.

Mo Junyan naturally knew a thing or two, so he said: "Xiao Xue, from today onwards, you will stay in the mansion and are not allowed to go out." ”

"But, Dad, I ......" What is the difference between this and being under house arrest?

"Obedient." Mo Jun's tone of speech was resolute and could not be refused.

Mo Xiaoxue had no choice but to whisper: "I know." ”

"Send the young lady back into the house and watch it well." Mo Junyan commanded.
