Chapter 331: Encounter with a Bandit
"No, I know you're doing it for my good, but I want to advance and retreat with you" Huang Fuxue looked serious, serious with unquestionable persistence. Looking at her like this, An Mingchen felt that something crossed the bottom of his heart, warm and nostalgic. If An Mingchen was allowed to choose, he would definitely let Huangfuxue stay in the villa until it was calm outside, but he couldn't give her a deadline, let alone let her stay on the mountain and be afraid.
He really wanted to protect her, but only if she was willing, if she didn't, he would respect her thoughts, and it would be a little more dangerous, but he would definitely be able to take care of her.
After thinking about it, An Mingchen was no longer entangled, and stopped the person in his arms again with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you back in a few days." When the time comes, we will advance and retreat together. ”
An Mingchen didn't stay here for long before going back, the night was getting thicker, but Huangfu Xue didn't feel sleepy, although he didn't say it, she also saw it, King Hong was afraid that his actions were not small, otherwise, he wouldn't be so urgent, I hope this plan will go smoothly, otherwise, in the end, it will be these innocent people who will suffer.
Early the next morning, An Mingchen heard that Xie Wuji had come to the door in person, and bluntly said that he wanted to see him, and after being slightly stunned, he went to the lobby with a smile, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart about the purpose of Xie Wuyi's visit. When he entered the door, Xie Wuyi was drinking tea, and when he saw him come in, his face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly and opened his mouth, "This official has always said the same, and his words are counted, but Lord An really impressed this official." ”
An Mingchen seemed to have expected him to have such an attitude, and walked over to him and sat down, "Why did Lord Xie say this?" Quietly waiting for him to throw out his intentions. Xie Wuyi was obviously extremely dissatisfied with his attitude, and his tone of voice was a little colder than just now, "The old man has already agreed to the conditions you proposed, what about Yun'er, when does Lord An plan to send my son back." ”
"Master Xie seems to have a bad memory, and the official said before that after the matter is completed, Gongzi Xie will definitely send it back safely. Now, Lord Xie has not done anything, how can the lower officials understand the sincerity of the adult. A little embarrassed, he put down the teacup, "Lord Xie, you have been an official for several years, and the lower officials are just acting cautiously." Please don't be angry. As long as Master Xie does what the lower official says, the lower official will definitely keep his promise. ”
Xie Wuji can take the initiative to come to the door, which means that his people did not find Xie Yun, in this way, it is his best opportunity, yesterday the emperor got a secret report, King Hong has begun to recruit troops, Xie Wuji is the most trusted person of King Hong, this matter is very important, Xie Wuji will definitely be entrusted with a heavy task by King Hong, as long as Xie Wuji surrenders, it will be of great benefit to them.
"King Hong is suspicious by nature, and this official can only do his best. As for the other ......, "Xie Wuyi is an old fox, and he doesn't forget to leave a way back for himself now, but unfortunately, An Mingchen is not so easy to speak, "Lord Xie doesn't seem to be so worried about Gongzi Xie, since it's so ......"
"Okay, I know what to do." Xie Wuyi stood up, glared at An Mingchen and was about to leave. An Mingchen stared at his back with a smile, and suddenly didn't hide it, "Lord Xie helped King Hong to help him abuse, didn't he think about karma?" Xie Wuyi stopped but didn't look back, his body paused slightly, obviously thinking of something, and slowly spoke for a long time, "What do you mean by this." ”
"The poison on Gongzi Xie's body...... Lord Xie has put so much thought into it over the years, but there is still no way, isn't this retribution? Lord Xie thinks about it carefully, there are only two ways in front of you now, one is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the other is to continue to follow King Hong's help, but in the end...... Xia Guan heard that you love Gongzi Xie very much. You say, if you help King Hong fail to rebel, what will happen to you, what will happen to Gongzi Xie? ”
Xie Wuji has never been afraid of these, or he has never thought of this kind of eventuality, King Hong is ambitious, powerful, and he is very smart, as long as they join forces, they will definitely be able to bring down the emperor and win the world, but at this time, An Mingchen's words reminded him that even if he does not rebel against King Hong, he is still a cabinet scholar admired by everyone, and Yun'er is still the son of Xie Mansion, but once he fails...... Xie Wuyi frowned, and suddenly woke up, yes, why did he do all this, it was extremely risky, and it also made Yun'er frightened, and now he was still affected by her, and the more he thought about it, the more guilty he became. I'm old, I'm confused, and I'm going to have a good life, but I want to be contaminated with these rights and wrongs.
has followed King Hong for many years, Xie Wuyi doesn't know that King Hong is a bad person to serve, it's okay to be obedient in everything, once he is disobedient...... After figuring it out, Xie Wuyi strode forward, his figure unchanged, but it was obvious that his steps were much brisker.
An Mingchen looked at his back, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, Li scolded and walked over, "Boss, what about your daughter-in-law, I have had an accident for so two days, why can't she, who is a daughter-in-law, not even show her face, who is the mother-in-law and who is the daughter-in-law, her current frame is more than my mother-in-law." ”
"Mother, the lady has something to do and has not been in the house for the past two days, and when she comes back, she will naturally go to see you." Li was frightened that day, and he had been resting in the courtyard for a few days when he returned home, and he had been safe and sound, why did he think of this stubble today, An Mingchen still had something to do, so he didn't continue to explain to Li, and sent someone to send Li back, and he took people out of the house.
Li came to look for him to talk about An Mingdong, she just received a letter saying that An Mingchen had an accident, she then remembered Huang Fuxue, who knew that she just wanted to complain, but she didn't expect the boss to leave like this. The eldest is gone, what is the fourth going to do. The more Li thought about it, the more anxious she became, she loved the fourth child the most on weekdays, where could she wait now, the boss couldn't count on him, so he thought of King Hong, and took someone to King Hong's mansion in a hurry, who knew that this time, she was directly rejected from the door, no matter what she said, the guards did not allow her to enter. 、
Seeing that it was getting late and late, Li became more and more anxious, looked at the gate of Hongwangfu, scolded a few words, turned around and got into the carriage, that's it, I can't count on you people who have no conscience, the old lady will count on herself, the old lady will go to Ningcheng to rescue the fourth child in person, and wait for the old lady to come back, see how the old lady cleans up your unfilial things. The carriage went straight out of the city, and Li scolded along the way. I didn't even know it was getting dark.
"Old lady, if it's getting late today, let's quickly find a place to stay, not far ahead is Dalong Mountain, I heard that there have been bandits there recently, don't be bumped into by them." The little guy reminded, but Li didn't think so, thinking that the little guy saw that it was not early, and wanted to be lazy, and he didn't want to scold back, "One by one, there is no conscience, the Huangfu family gave you so much silver, is it to make you lazy, don't hurry up, if you delay the old lady's big event, believe it or not, the old lady will sell you immediately." ”
The little girl is a child of the family, and when he heard this, he immediately panicked, although he was still reluctant in his heart, he didn't say anything more. endure the anxiety and hurry up. On the other side, Huangfu Xue finally got An Mingchen's permission, and this meeting is going forward. When the carriage passed by the official road, the magpie muttered, "Why does the carriage in front look so familiar, it seems to be the carriage of our Imperial Mansion." "After saying that, I feel that it is not right, it is so late, and no one in the house should go far away.
The magpie said casually, but Huangfu Xue was interested, not because she was curious, but mainly because she was worried about An Mingchen, and An Mingchen did not come to pick her up in person today, so she thought that something happened to An Mingchen and she couldn't get out of her body. "Follow along." Think about it and speak. The magpie was slightly stunned, then turned around and went outside.
The two carriages, one after the other, slowly approached Dalong Mountain, the two carriages were some distance away, when the Li family's carriage was targeted by the bandits, Huangfu Xue immediately got the news, the magpie heard this, and instantly panicked, "Miss, what are we going to do now, those people in front of us are thieves who kill people without blinking, if we fall into their hands...... magpie didn't dare to imagine it. If so, she would rather die. I don't want to suffer this humiliation.
"Don't worry, now go and let the coachman drive the carriage into the woods next to it." The magpie saw that Huangfu Xue was so calm, I don't know why, suddenly she didn't panic so much, nodded, and crawled to the door, not that she didn't want to go, but she was so scared that she was weak, and she didn't have any strength to leave. The coachman drove the carriage into the woods and stopped, and Huangfu Xue told the two of them to stay here and stay still, and prepare to go outside alone to check on the situation. The magpie tugged at her sleeve, obviously afraid, but pretended to be calm, "Miss, otherwise it's better to go as a slave, the slave maid's life is worthless, if something happens, it's a big deal to lose this little life, but Miss ......"
"What nonsense, in my heart, we are all the same, and no one can be fine." Huangfu Xue directly refused, "Don't worry, I will definitely be careful, you and the coachman will stay here honestly, and when I rescue them, we will go back to the city immediately." "If it's not early today, they must enter the city before closing the city gate, otherwise, I'm afraid that today will really be more auspicious.
On the other side, when An Mingchen returned home, he heard the maid say that the Li family was missing, asked around, and asked someone to find out that the Li family was out of the city.
The Li family and the little guy were surrounded by more than a dozen bandits, they came out in a hurry, they didn't bring much money, the bandits were dissatisfied, and they were discussing whether to solve them directly. Li had never seen such a battle, his legs were weak with fright, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks, trembling, and it took a long time to find his voice, "No, don't you just want money, my eldest daughter-in-law is rich, as long as you let me go, she can give you a lot of money." ”
"Daughter-in-law? Look at your dress, you don't look like the lord of the rich. Didn't you lie to us if you wanted to save your life? The big thief looked incredulous, and the Li family was most disgusted with others looking down on her, so when he heard this, he immediately quit, "How shabby am I dressed, old woman, compared to you, I am wearing very good." It's you, it's not okay to do something alone, but you were born to do these things that someone is afraid of, and you don't even let go of an old woman like me, it's really unconscionable, insidious and vicious. ”
