Chapter 135: Encountering Mountain Bandits
"Say it again!" Tao Mingxi glared at the other party, how could the family heirlooms that he had brought with him since he was a child not be important? She gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely help you redeem the jade pendant, remember to take it with you at that time, and don't use it to do that kind of stupid thing of bartering again!" ”
Viciously admonished, after finishing speaking, he was still a little uneasy, and added threateningly: "If you dare to lose it again, I will throw away the hairpin!" ”
Zhu'er cared more about the hairpin than about the family heirloom, and quickly nodded when she heard this: "Yes." ”
……
At the same time, Huailing County.
After several days of hurrying, Xing Tianze finally arrived at his destination, looking at the county town where the victims were flooded, his face also changed slightly, and his handsome eyebrows skimmed slightly.
"Lord, there is a letter from the palace." He had just settled down in the inn, as if a guard had hurried in from outside, and got down on one knee with a letter in both hands.
Xing Tianze took it easily, and a bad premonition surged in his heart, could it be that something really happened in the palace?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, and opened the envelope in three or two clicks, Xing Tianze looked at the contents of it and his face sank completely: "Tao, Ming, Xi!" ”
How dare she flee without permission after she left the palace!
It seems that he underestimated her! was able to escape under the noses of dozens of guards, and by the way, he was taken away by the torture wind!
"Tao Mingxi, you're really bold!" With a low muttering in his mouth, a trace of fierceness flashed in Xing Tianze's eyes.
"King, Lord Wang......" Although the guards kneeling on the ground didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but tremble when they saw Xing Tianze's gloomy and terrifying appearance.
Xing Tianze went down to see him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Repair a book and send it to the palace!" Let them mobilize all their forces to find the princess! Remember to act in secret and not let the outside world know. ”
“…… Be. The guard nodded, then stood up and quickly retreated, he didn't dare to continue to stay in the same place as Xing Tianze, after all, that aura was inevitably too terrifying.
"Torture thunder." After the guard left, Xing Tianze shouted in a deep voice.
A black figure floated down from the beam of the room and saluted respectfully to Xing Tianze: "Lord Wang." ”
"You take a few people to check the whereabouts of the princess, and once you have a clue, you will come back and tell the king immediately!"
Xing Tianze slowly opened his mouth and commanded, his face was still gloomy and terrifying, it seemed that he was negligent, and he couldn't read Tao Mingxi at all with those books alone! In the future, she will have to tie someone to her to ensure that she has no chance of escaping!
“…… Be. The man answered, but hesitated, for the sake of a woman, was it really necessary to send them out to find her?
But come to think of it, the prince seems to have broken a lot of rules because of this woman! first gave her the punishment wind, and then sent them to find her.
Moreover, he hadn't seen the prince so angry for a long time! is a calm and calm temperament, plus he is wise and strategic, so basic things will not get out of his control......
……
Tao Mingxi hurried for four or five days, sitting in the carriage every day and being bumped by the rugged mountain road, and his internal organs were about to shift! She propped her forehead with one hand, leaning drowsilyly back in her chair, her eyes black.
I really feel more tired from riding in a carriage than when I was training at the police academy!
There was a sudden shaking in the carriage, Tao Mingxi leaned forward, and she quickly grabbed the handrail on the side so as not to fall into the mud.
"What's going on?" She walked forward, lifted the curtain and asked subconsciously.
The coachman in front hurriedly lowered the curtain again, and said in a calm voice: "Miss, don't come out!" ”
"Yo, there's a good-looking little girl in there! Hahaha...... Our lady has a fall. A rough male voice came from outside, and the words that came out were also very harsh.
Combined with the scene outside, and what the man said, Tao Mingxi could guess what was going on even if he was stupid!
They've met bandits!
"If you know each other, take out all the valuable things yourself, and leave the beauty in the carriage as well, and we may be able to be merciful and let you live!" A group of mountain bandits not far in front of them, riding on horses and carrying big knives in their hands, looked at them arrogantly and said.
There was more than one woman in the carriage, and the coachman didn't dare to risk running away directly, so he pretended to be calm and said: "A few chivalrous, we are fleeing from the capital and passing through here, and we don't know that we will inadvertently break into your territory, we can give you all the silver, can you please let my young lady go?" ”
At a time like this, the money is irrelevant, and if you can send them away with some money to save their lives, why not?
"Hahahaha...... You don't look at what kind of situation you are in now, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with us? The other party looked at him with disdain, obviously looking at the eyes of an idiot, and said.
The implication is that it doesn't work? Then it seems that you can only break through!
The coachman gritted his teeth and whispered to Tao Mingxi who was in the curtain: "Miss, sit tight!" ”
After saying that, he waved the reins in his hand, took the horsewhip from the side and whipped it hard on the horse's buttocks!
The horses in front neighed and rushed forward like a frenzy.
Seeing this, the mountain bandits in front of them dodged one after another, and one of them smiled disdainfully, "Hmph! Want to go? ”
He took the long whip in his hand and threw it forward, throwing the coachman off at once.
The horse was already galloping because of the stimulus, but now it has almost lost its mind, and with no one to control it, even the direction of running has changed.
"Hahahaha! Fast! Go and cut off the carriage! A loud laugh came from behind him, with a hint of triumph.
"Mother, what should I do now?" Zhu'er had never encountered such a thrilling scene, her face turned white with fright, she raised her head to look at Tao Mingxi, and asked.
Tao Mingxi gritted his teeth, walked outside and sat down at the place where he got off the car, controlled the direction of the horse with the reins, and dragged it to turn a corner.
After temporarily controlling the horse, Tao Mingxi turned his head to look at Xiao Ran and asked, "Do you know how to drive a carriage?" ”
"A little bit." Xiao Ran nodded and said, what didn't you do to survive when you were a child? He'd learned a little bit about driving a carriage or something.
"Come up, take them first!" Tao Mingxi turned his body aside a little and gave him the seat in the middle.
"Niang, where are you going?" Pearls interjected with a surprised look on her face.
