Chapter 35: Wounded and Rescued
On the other side, Du Miaoyi drove the carriage into the forest, she was afraid that the man in black would catch up, so she asked Fang Mojiao to flee in the opposite direction with the two children, and she drove the carriage to lead the pursuers.
Fang Mojiao refused, and wanted to use herself as bait, but was rejected by Du Miaoyi.
"Ah Fei, this matter started because of my mother and son, you and Ning'er are both implicated by us, I can't let you sacrifice your life again." She glanced at her son, "Help me take care of the king, if our mother and son are unfortunately killed, it will be the will of God." I only hope that your aunt and nephew will escape this fate! ”
King Cheng seemed to sense something, and whispered to his mother. Du Miaoyi touched his head, "Wang Er obediently listens to Aunt Afei's words, and the concubine will come to pick you up before dark." ”
King Cheng nodded his little head obediently.
Fang Mojiao ran to the depths of the forest with her two children, and Du Miaoyi stayed where she was for a while, moved a few big stones and put them in the carriage, and then drove in another direction.
The man in black who caught up was really fooled, and chased after him along the rut mark, giving Fang Mojiao time to escape.
Even so, Fang Mojiao, a powerless girl, couldn't run fast, let alone bring two three-year-old children. She held one in one hand, and her mind kept thinking about how to get out of danger.
Fang Ning and King Cheng were pulled by her and stumbled and ran, their little faces flushed with tiredness. Fang Mojiao felt that there was no way to go on like this, and looked around to find a place to hide. But the forest was like there was no boundary, and it was still spinning in it after running for a long time.
"Little Wangye, Ning'er, hold on a little longer, and you'll be fine soon." She squatted down to comfort the two children, who were also very sensible, and although they were too tired to run, they still didn't say a word.
Fang Mojiao was very distressed, but she couldn't stop to rest. She thought of a way to tie King Cheng with a belt on her back, and her nephew Fang Ning was held in her arms, which gave the two children a chance to breathe.
There were burdens in front and back, and Fang Mojiao's running speed slowed down significantly, but fortunately, it didn't take long to see the boundary of the forest. Her eyes lit up and she hurried towards the border. There was a temple not far from the forest, and Fang Mojiao planned to go to the temple for help.
After entering the temple, I found that this was a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for a long time. Except for the main hall for Buddha statues in the temple, which is relatively complete, the rest of the places have basically collapsed, which makes her a little more desperate when she just saw hope.
Fang Mojiao put down the two children, searched around the main hall, and found that the hole behind the Buddha statue could accommodate a person to hide. She hid King Cheng and Fang Ning inside.
"Little prince, Ning'er, you just hide here, no matter what happens, don't make a sound, so that the bad guys can't find you." As she spoke, she took off the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, "You can hold this, I hope it can keep you safe." ”
Fang Ning looked at Fang Mojiao with wide eyes, "Auntie, aren't you coming with us?" ”
King Cheng also took her hand and said, "Aunt Afei, I'm afraid. ”
Fang Mojiao touched their heads and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, the Bodhisattva will bless you." There are still bad people outside, my aunt goes out to lure away the bad guys, and comes to pick you up before dark, okay? ”
The two children nodded obediently.
Fang Mojiao was also not worried about leaving the two children here, but the danger was not over, and she couldn't take them on the risk. She glanced at the two children and suddenly had an idea.
She took off their robes and sealed the hole with straw. Then he stuffed the discarded straw from the main hall into the robes of the two children and made two dummies. As before, one with his back behind his back and the other in his arms.
The man in black who was chasing Du Miaoyi noticed that something was wrong, and immediately divided into two ways, continuing to chase the carriage all the way, and returning all the way to the opposite direction. Fang Mojiao rested for a while on the main hall of the broken temple, and saw the birds in the woods being frightened, guessing that the pursuers had rushed over.
She panicked, glanced at the Buddha statue, turned around and ran wildly.
A man in black saw her figure and shouted, "People are running up the mountain, chase after them!" ”
Fang Mojiao was extremely scared, as a pampered daughter in the boudoir, the most outrageous thing she had ever done was to kick Qi Yunzhi into the lake and slash the guards of the Yunyang Palace. She clearly knew that these black-clothed people were different from Qi Yunzhi and the guards of the Yunyang Palace, and they would really kill people.
Running and running, she quickly ran out of strength. The men in black behind her were getting closer and closer to her, and she seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood on them. In the moment of her shock, she was surrounded by the men in black.
"Second Miss Fang, stop struggling uselessly, if you hand over King Cheng, I will spare you and your nephew." The man in black in the lead spoke.
Fang Mojiao looked at them defensively, "Since you know our identity, why do you still chase after us?" ”
"As long as we become kings, we will not kill innocents indiscriminately." The man in black spoke again.
Fang Mojiao smiled, "King Cheng is a three-year-old child, you just want his life, isn't this indiscriminate killing of innocents?" She said with a cold face: "Even if you kill me, I won't hand people over to you." ”
The man in black was a little annoyed, "In that case, don't blame us for being ruthless. ”
At his signal, the black-clothed man surrounding Fang Mojiao slowly approached. Fang Mojiao struggled to suppress the fear in her heart, clenched the hairpin that had been plucked from her head earlier, and just as a man in black was about to touch the dummy behind her, she stabbed the man fiercely.
At the same time, the man in black behind her subconsciously swung his knife and slashed at her back. Suddenly, she felt a strong dull pain in her back, and her body fell backwards uncontrollably, the smell of straw and blood scattered on the tip of her nose.
"I've been deceived." The black-clothed man in the lead found that it was a pile of straw wrapped in King Cheng's robe, he glanced at Fang Mojiao who fell to the ground, and said to his subordinates who were stabbed by hairpins: "Solve her, be careful not to let people see the traces." ”
Fang Mojiao thought that she was going to die here, and she was worried about the safety of her two children, in order to delay time, she endured the pain and said: "Niangniang had long expected that you would act separately, so I took the little prince and Ning Er and fled by car, I was just a bait to lure you to turn around." Presumably, at this time, Niangniang has returned to Chengwangfu with her two children, and your mission has failed, and you will definitely be punished when you go back. ”
Her words did hit the sore spot of the leader of the man in black, and he pulled out his saber from his side and slashed at Fang Mojiao in anger, who hurriedly closed her eyes. At that moment, a sharp whistle broke the silence, and then the man in black was hit by a stone on the wrist, and the saber fell.
Fang Mojiao was overjoyed, it seemed that the reinforcements from the Chengwang Mansion had arrived.
The leader of the men in black immediately put all the men in black on guard, and they quickly surrounded the city, leaving their backs to their companions. At this time, the silence in the forest was restored, as if the previous whistle and stones were all illusions.
After another moment, a flock of birds suddenly flew over the forest, and then a dense array of sharp arrows struck at the black-clothed people. The man in black hurriedly picked up a knife to cut the arrow to protect himself, but he couldn't win the speed of the arrow, many of the men in black were hit by the arrow and fell, and even the leader of the man in black was injured.
Seeing that the man in black had collapsed, the sharp arrow stopped, and a guard wearing dark clothes appeared in the forest. Fang Mojiao recognized it at a glance as someone from the Xuanyi Hall of the Chengwang Mansion.
The leader of the Xuanyi Hall wore half a silver mask and held a bow in his hand, and ordered his subordinates to tie up all the living black-clothed people, and crushed their jaws to prevent them from committing suicide.
After dealing with the man in black, he could only take care of the injured Fang Mojiao, and casually pointed to a person, "Xuan San, you send Second Miss Fang back." ”
What a familiar sound.
Fang Mojiao didn't care about the pain, and looked at the leader who was wearing the mask, only to see that he was covered by the mask on the upper part of his face, leaving only the part below the mouth and nose outside.
Even if she couldn't see his full picture, she could feel the familiar aura from him.
Xuansan squatted down and was about to hug Fang Mojiao, but Fang Mojiao grabbed the leader's sleeve, "Yan...... Cousin Yan, is that you? ”
The man immediately brushed her hand away, "The girl has the wrong person." ”
Fang Mojiao was extremely disappointed, and at this time a feeling of dizziness came, and she hurriedly said to the man: "Save the children, they are behind the Buddha statue in the broken temple." After saying that, he couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.
