Chapter 353: Rescue
In an inn in Ningcheng, Shen Ruogu was discussing strategies with his own people, this trip was a matter of life and safety, and Shen Ruogu specially ordered to travel in a low-key manner.
But the temperament of a group of Mobei men is there, and it is difficult for people to ignore it.
Xiao Er rubbed the table on the counter tremblingly, his eyes glancing at him from time to time.
"The shopkeeper is in charge..."Xiao Er said to a person beside him: "What do you say these people are coming from?" β
The middle-aged man was counting the accounts at the counter, and when he heard this, he glanced at him disapprovingly, stroked his little beard and said, "Who do you care about them, those who give money are nobles!" β
"Yes, yes." Xiao Er hurriedly nodded in response.
Shen Ruogu traveled this time, in order to prevent foreign thieves, he cleared this inn, and the expenses of these tables were comparable to two and a half months' wages.
The shopkeeper pouted and continued to wipe his table.
"Little two! Fill up the tea! The Great Khan turned and shouted this way.
The shopkeeper was excited: "Hey! Okay, okay, here's it! β
At this moment, there was a messy sound of horses' hooves in the street outside the inn.
A man strode towards Chen Ruogu's table.
"Miss!" There was a hint of joy on the man's face.
"What?" Shen Ruogu put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes and asked.
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the door and said, "General Rong Xiaorong is here!" β
When the words fell, there was a lively scene outside the door.
"Phewβ"
Rong Xiao led a group of subordinates and dismounted and walked this way.
"Miss Shen!" The man clenched his fists and arched his hands.
Shen Ruogu also stood up at this time, a little surprised: "Why is General Rong here too?" β
Rong Xiao looked solemn when he heard this: "I heard that Miss Shen's mentor was obtained by Liu Zhong, and the emperor specially ordered me to come here to help Miss Shen, and by the way, Liu Zhong and other rebels and traitors were taken down." β
Shen Ruogu was stunned, the emperor's will?
But this is not the time to think too much.
She immediately said: "Then thank you General Rong, and ask General Rong to thank the emperor for me." β
Rong Xiao nodded: "Then let's set off together." After the words fell, he looked around at Shen Ruogu's group of people, his brows furrowed slightly.
Of course, Shen Ruogu knew what he was thinking, and smiled: "There are too many people who are easy to attract attention, so I ordered them to settle elsewhere." β
Rong Xiao nodded: "I see, but Miss Shen is thoughtful." β
"Miss, shall I tell them to follow us later?" A man stepped forward and asked.
"Okay." Shen Ruogu responded: "General Rong and I set off first." β
As soon as the words fell, the men under him turned into an afterimage and left outward.
β¦β¦
In the bamboo forest in the wild, Shen Ruogu stopped suddenly, and the horse let out a long chirping.
Behind him, a group of people followed, and stopped.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"What's out of the ordinary?"
The men were puzzled.
Rong Xiao stopped the horse beside her, and was a little puzzled for a while: "Is there an abnormality ahead?" β
"It's not." Shen Ruogu smiled, the golden hairpin on his head shimmered in the sun, and his eyes were extremely bright: "Why don't I find someone separately from General Rong?" This gives you a better chance of finding it. β
Rong Xiao glanced at the woman in front of him, he didn't know what to think, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he said, "Okay, I'll meet Miss Shen again when the time comes." β
Shen Ruogu nodded, and waited for the other party to leave with a group of people before moving forward.
Liu Zhong on the other end was discussing countermeasures with a group of his loyal people, and news came from the other end.
"Rong Xiao and Shen Ruogu's two groups of men and horses acted separately?" Liu Zhong looked at the person in front of him and asked.
"Yes! My subordinates saw it with their own eyes in the dark, and only then did they come back to report to you. β
After the words fell, Liu Zhong stood up, took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and then turned back without knowing what he thought, and so repeatedly, his subordinates couldn't help it.
"Lord!" A man in green clothes stood up, with a little eagerness on his face: "This is a great opportunity for us to get rid of Shen Ruogu!" β
"Yes, my lord! Now Rong Xiao is acting separately from her, and he won't be able to come back for a while, this is a great time! β
For a while, all the people under his command nodded in agreement.
Liu Zhong slowly stopped, his slender eyebrows narrowed slightly, as if he had made up his mind: "Okay!" If you bring more people, you will definitely solve Shen Ruogu, or you will have trouble! β
"Yes!"
I have to say that Liu Zhong's subordinates moved really fast, Shen Ruogu and the others at this end didn't go far, and a group of people appeared in the forest.
All of them were dressed in uniform clothes, full of murderous aura, and the swords in their hands glowed with a cold cold light.
"Phewβ" The horse was frightened and forced to stop.
"Miss Protection!"
Everyone hurriedly surrounded Shen Ruogu in the circle and started a fight with the gangsters in front of them.
Shen Ruogu avoided a hidden weapon that attacked her with a cold face.
These people don't fight too much with others at all, and the only purpose is her!
Shen Ruogu swung her sword to block the blade of the person in front of her, she looked into his eyes and said coldly: "Call Liu Zhong out!" β
The person in front of him was wearing a mask, only a pair of eyes were exposed, he seemed to be stunned, and then smiled gloomily, and his eyes seemed to be oozing with poison.
"It's a bit of an eye, but you don't have a chance, today is your death!"
When the words fell, the man pulled the knife away violently, and the hidden weapon flew over his sleeve, Shen Ruogu turned over and dismounted, and the hidden weapon fell into the bamboo.
The man obviously didn't intend to let her go, and stepped forward with a knife swing without a moment's pause.
"Miss!" The people under his command were able to escape the catastrophe, and when they saw such a scene, their eyes widened.
Shen Ruogu countered the sword of the person in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Say!" Where is Liu Zhong! If you don't let my master and his subordinates go, I will make you look good! β
The man laughed, and his eyes were red when he saw that the big knife was about to cut her in two.
"You don't look at the current situation, when you die, your master and his subordinates will definitely accompany you, what are you anxious about?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruogu heard this, but he didn't say anything, just looked around, and suddenly the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
The man was stunned, faintly had a bad premonition, and wanted to withdraw in time, but it was too late.
"Poof..."
Rong Xiao's sword pierced into his chest, and before he could come back to his senses, the long sword was drawn without a moment's pause.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, and when he turned back, his men were dead, and a few were captured.
"No... No way! The man's eyes widened, and before he could finish his sentence, he fell straight to the ground, and his eyes did not close for a long time, and he died.
"Miss Shen is okay, right?" Rong Xiao withdrew the sword in his hand and asked.
Shen Ruogu shook his head: "Thanks to the timely arrival of the general. β
Rong Xiao laughed, he looked at the victorious scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little high-spirited: "I didn't expect Liu Zhong to act separately, acting separately is just a disguise, Miss Shen's trick is wonderful!" β
