Chapter 280: Chance Encounter

Seeing that the entire carriage was out of position, Xia Qingtong also began to fall backwards,

"Girl, be careful."

Red Sakura quickly grabbed Xia Qingtong's hand, and grabbed the window edge of the carriage with the other hand. Follow your body in the direction of the front of the car.

The coachman outside, as he experienced the initial chaos, also came into play.

The out-of-control horse was calmed down, the hooves fell, and the carriage finally stabilized after a few shakes.

When Xia Qingtong lost control just now, he thought he would fly out of the carriage.

In this weather, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her back.

This will settle down, and she clutches the carriage tightly, not daring to let go.

"Girl, are you alright?"

Xia Qingtong shook his head and looked outside at the concern in Shang Hongying's eyes.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Don't worry, girl, I'll take a look."

Red Sakura poked her head out,

A little lady fell on the side of the carriage. The little lady must have been frightened, and half of her body was lying on the ground.

There seemed to be footsteps behind her, and the little lady's face was pale and frightened. She struggled to get up, but had just broken her foot to avoid the horse's hooves and fell back to the ground.

The pain made the little lady's face turn white with fright, and what scared her even more was the footsteps behind her.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, and was about to avoid the small alley on the side, when she happened to meet Xia Qingtong, who opened the carriage and also wanted to see what was going on.

"Huh? It's you? ”

With just one glance, Xia Qingtong recognized the other party.

When Liu Mulan saw the people behind her getting closer and closer, her pale face had become desperate.

But when she saw Xia Qingtong, her eyes suddenly lit up again.

"Girl, save me."

Xia Qingtong didn't know what was going on, but she still remembered the scene when she bought that painting from Liu Mulan last time.

Without thinking about reaching out, she glanced at Red Sakura.

"Quick, let her get in the car."

Red Sakura pulled up Liu Mulan and let her get into the car. Liu Mulan had no strength, and her feet were broken again. I didn't expect that the servant girl didn't look obvious, but her strength was really big.

She was pulled by her, and all of a sudden, the person was already in the car.

As soon as Liu Mulan sat down, the footsteps behind him were near.

A group of people dressed in household costumes chased them to the side of the carriage.

"What about people?" The leader looked at his subordinates: "Didn't you run in this direction just now?" ”

"Maybe it's hiding in this alley."

"Chase."

With a wave of his hand, the leader took those family members and was about to chase them into the alley.

One person behind him sighed: "Brother Li, do you think that little lady will hide in the carriage?" ”

The leader looked at the carriage on the side. The coachman will have a bad face.

The man stepped forward: "Excuse me, please open the carriage and let us check." ”

Xia Qingtong, who was sitting in the car, frowned slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Liu Mulan. With tears in her eyes, she was shaking her head at her, her face full of fear.

Help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west.

Xia Qingtong motioned for Liu Mulan to hide in her direction, she glanced at the red cherry, the red cherry tree understood, poked her head out and looked coldly at the family outside.

"You have to check our wagons."

The leader of the family had a strong attitude: "Yes." I hope the girl will be convenient. ”

"It's inconvenient." Sakura glared at the man, "You want to check my carriage, do you have a search warrant from the government?" ”

"Well, no."

"Then you're an official?" If it is an official errand, it is natural to wear an official uniform.

These people, dressed in ordinary domestic clothes, want to check their carriages?

"This girl, we are the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today a slave stole his master's things and ran away. We just came out to get her back and be punished. ”

Prime Minister's Mansion?

Hearing the identity of the other party, Xia Qingtong's face was not very good-looking. She went to see Liu Mulan again, how could she get into trouble with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

House slaves?

Liu Mulan's eyes widened, and her hands kept swaying.

I'm not—

Looking at Liu Mulan's mouth shape, thinking of the last time she sold paintings, she naturally knew that what she said was true.

"Sitting in the carriage is my girl. My girl is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, how can you people see and check it? Get out of the way yet! ”

"What about the Hou Mansion? It's hard to stop us from looking for someone, right? ”

Xia Qingtong patted Liu Mulan's hand and made her shrink her body into the corner of the carriage, and instead of Hong Sakura, she poked her head out to look at the leading family.

The smile on the corner of her mouth was very faint, but her eyes were quite sharp.

"Early this morning, the Prime Minister's Office just issued a document saying that it would restrain people. In the blink of an eye, the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion were so lawless that they privately ordered to search the carriage of the ladies of the Hou Mansion. I don't know if I make a big deal about it, will the people of the world stand on the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or on the side of our Hou Mansion? ”

The head of the family thought of the prime minister's words when he came out before, and his face changed.

"Stand back, there is no way there will be a slave in my carriage as you say. However, I have just contracted a cold and feel unwell in the past few days, and I am going to seek medical treatment. If you stop me again, don't blame me for telling my grandfather, and let my grandfather visit your grandfather in the court. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Qingtong suddenly smiled: "My grandfather just returned triumphantly from the border pass. I believe that Your Majesty, for the sake of my grandfather's merits, will still be willing to take this lead for the Hou Mansion. ”

That guy's face was completely white. A family member behind him spoke at the right time.

"Brother Li, as I said just now, I saw people running down the alley. Let's chase it. ”

"Everything was a misunderstanding. Excuse me. Brother Li quickly saluted and chased the others in the direction of the alley.

Xia Qingtong breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as she put down the curtain and sat down, she saw Liu Mulan kneeling in front of her.

"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the girl, and the great kindness cannot be repaid. Please bow down to the little woman. ”

"Hurry up." Xia Qingtong hurriedly helped Liu Mulan up: "It's really tormenting me." You don't have to. ”

Liu Mulan shook her head: "If there is no girl, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to get out today." The girl saved me last time, and today she saved my life. I really don't know how to repay the girl. ”

"It's all said to be a gesture. Besides, not to mention the last time. ”

Xia Qingtong took Liu Mulan's hand and asked her to sit down beside her.

The carriage settled down and went on again. There was no one else in the car, Xia Qingtong turned her face to look at her, still dressed in extremely simple clothes, and her hair was a little messy. It can be seen that she ran all the way just now.

After all, there was dust under the hem of the clothes, and the dust from the fall.

"May I ask, why are the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion chasing you?"

Liu Mulan's expression was stunned, and her face was full of gratitude just now, which would be a little tangled, and there would be a little hidden defense.

"If Miss Liu is inconvenient to say, there is no need to say it." Take a look at the latest chapter of "I Was an Internet Celebrity Paw Book House in Ancient Times" to read for free for the first time.
