Chapter 494: The Line Between Life and Death
The man was about to answer, when he saw that those men were carrying knives, he was afraid of three points in his heart, and he originally wanted to say that Lan Qingxuan was the one they had just met, but he nodded unconsciously.
The men looked at a few more people, their eyes swept over Lan Qingxuan and Jin Niang, and one of the men said: "Don't look at it, it's just some ordinary people, not the person we are looking for, the person we are looking for has a noble status, how has he ever suffered like this, I'm afraid I can't wear such clothes." ”
Several of the other men nodded in agreement, and several were about to ride away.
The man at the head said, "Wait a minute." ”
The other men were stunned for a moment, then restrained Ma again, and the man in charge looked at Lan Qingxuan and said, "Where did this lady come from?" ”
Although Lan Qingxuan's face was black, her hair was scattered, and her clothes were extremely ordinary, her temperament was different from that of others after all, and the man at the head found out about this, so he still asked questions after looking at her twice.
Lan Qingxuan's heart tightened slightly, but she spoke a dialect in Nandi: "The slave family's hometown is from Nantan, and I met these big brothers halfway, so I came with them. ”
The taste of the south is too strong, and those Nanzi are all northerners, so they don't understand her words very well.
The man at the head frowned slightly, turned his head and rode away first.
Lan Qingxuan said anxiously: "This big brother, you haven't answered my question yet!" Don't be in a hurry! ”
Before she could finish her words, the men had already walked away.
The man Lan Qingxuan met before frowned and said, "These people look so fierce, they all have a knife pinned to their bodies, they are really scared to death." ”
Jin Niang's palms were already sweating at this time, but fortunately, Lan Qingxuan was shrewd and could speak the southern dialect to escape this catastrophe, otherwise she was afraid that the consequences would be unpredictable.
She turned her head and glanced at Lan Qingxuan, seeing that her face was calm and natural, she secretly felt that although she was a few years older than Lan Qingxuan, she was still not as calm as Lan Qingxuan, and she felt from the bottom of her heart that Jian Yu's vision was good, and she could find a woman like Lan Qingxuan as a princess in Qianyuan City.
Because of this little episode, Lan Qingxuan and those people also got closer, and everyone made an appointment to go to Zhongjiang County together.
Here is still half a day's journey from Zhongjiang County, at this time it is late, it is not suitable to hurry, a few people found a house that no one lives in for a night, the original owner of this house is obviously in a hurry, the things in it are almost not cleaned up, there is still rice in the rice tank, the water in the water tank looks fresh, the kitchen cabinet also turned out some vegetables, but those dishes have been yellow, a few potatoes in the corner of the side look still edible.
Several people came all the way to the dust, and they all suffered a lot, and they were not picky about these, and several people worked together and began to cook.
Jin Niang was afraid that Lan Qingxuan would be tired, so she let her rest, and then snatched all the work assigned to Lan Qingxuan, Lan Qingxuan felt that she couldn't just sit there at this time, so she peeled potatoes on the small stool in the kitchen.
The middle-aged woman named Sister-in-law Zhang who came with them was lighting a fire in the kitchen, and when Lan Qingxuan thought that she would be able to see Jian Yu tomorrow, she was worried and nervous, and now she just hoped that she had calculated everything properly, and he had not yet developed a disease.
When she was distracted, there were tears in her eyes, but she didn't want to be seen by Jin Niang and worry about her, so she twisted her head slightly, but when she turned her head, she saw that there was a hard object bulging from Sister-in-law Zhang's waist.
Lan Qingxuan has been a human being in two lives, and she has experienced countless murders in this life, just one glance, she can see that the hard object on Sister-in-law Zhang's waist is a knife, because the position of the knife is extremely secret, if you don't bend down, you can't see it at all.
Now that the plague is rampant, and several counties in the south are in chaos, it is extremely normal to use a knife to defend yourself.
It's just that Lan Qingxuan quickly saw the abnormality, because of tiredness before, the appearance of several people was extremely simple, so she didn't pay attention to it, and at this time, she sat there like this and found that Sister-in-law Zhang walked extremely lightly, only people who have studied martial arts have that kind of pace, and it is a little strange for a village woman in the countryside to learn martial arts.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Qingxuan watched Sister-in-law Zhang take down a pot on the stove, Lan Qingxuan and Jin Niang were the first to go to the kitchen, at that time, Lan Qingxuan carried the pot, the pot was so heavy that it was difficult for her to carry it with both hands, and at this time the pot was still filled with water, and Sister-in-law Zhang picked it up as if there was nothing.
Even if the peasant women were to do farm work, they would have more strength in their hands, but it would not be so outrageous.
This discovery made Lan Qingxuan secretly concerned, and soon she found that the men she and Jin Niang met were all agile, even though they wanted to hide the fact that they knew martial arts, but some small actions still betrayed her.
When Lan Qingxuan saw her and them for the first time, they said that they also met by chance on the road and then came together, but at this time, watching them do things, they have a tacit understanding with each other, and this tacit understanding is impossible without getting along for months or even years.
After seeing these things clearly, Lan Qingxuan felt that she was only afraid that they would be in trouble.
Seeing that her face was not very good, Jin Niang came over and asked, "Madam, but you are not feeling well?" ”
Lan Qingxuan nodded and said, "It can be the reason why I've been in a hurry recently, I feel tired and panicked." ”
Along the way, Lan Qingxuan had never shouted a tired word, and at this time, she suddenly shouted tired and made Jin Niang nervous, and Jin Niang hurriedly said: "If Madam is uncomfortable, I will help you to rest in the room first." ”
Lan Qingxuan nodded lightly, and Sister-in-law Zhang smiled: "Your wife is really squeamish." ”
Lan Qingxuan smiled and didn't answer, Jin Niang only smiled slightly, and when she walked to the threshold, Lan Qingxuan whispered in her ear: "These people are not ordinary people, we have to be careful tonight." It's good that we know this in our hearts, and you must not show it for a while. ”
When Jin Niang heard this, her body was slightly stiff, so she had to look around.
Lan Qingxuan said again: "Don't look, at this time they don't know that we have found an anomaly, and now they don't know what they mean, so don't startle the snake for the time being." ”
Jin Niang was originally a calm character, although she was a little nervous at this time, she quickly calmed down after hearing Lan Qingxuan's words, those men were talking in the front hall at this time, and when they saw Jin Niang helping Lan Qingxuan over, they asked, "Is the meal ready?" ”
Jin Niang replied: "My wife suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I helped her to come and sit down." ”
The men smiled and said: "The little lady's body is weak at first glance, you have rested, and then call you to get up and eat after the meal is ready." ”
Lan Qingxuan smiled and thanked her, and then went in directly.
Jin Niang was not very worried that she was staying inside, but Lan Qingxuan motioned to let her out, she thought about it, Lan Qingxuan acted more thoughtfully and safely than her, she didn't know martial arts, if there was really something, she might not be able to take care of Lan Qingxuan, and she really couldn't startle the snake at this time, so she nodded, turned around and walked out.
About a quarter of an hour later, the meal was ready and served, and the dish was only shredded potatoes, and the group seemed to be very satisfied with these meals, so Jin Niang brought a meal to Lan Qingxuan to eat.
Jin Niang answered, picked up the food and sent it in, Lan Qingxuan didn't eat it, but took out the silver needle and tried the meal first, as soon as the silver needle touched the food, it immediately turned black, and Jin Niang's eyes suddenly widened.
These meals were pretended by her sister-in-law Zhang, they had already eaten them in front, and they all looked like they were all fine, but the meals given to Lan Qingxuan were poisonous!
Lan Qingxuan and Jin Niang glanced at each other, Jin Niang's body trembled, and asked softly, "Princess, what now?" ”
Jin Niang has always been calm, but she has never been so helpless.
On this warm spring night, Jin Niang only felt a cold sweat oozing from her back, which was not like a battle in the harem, but in a real desperate situation.
If Lan Qingxuan had good bones, she might be able to escape while they didn't find out, but now that Lan Qingxuan is pregnant, she can't run at all, and they can't escape at all.
Lan Qingxuan's eyes were slightly gloomy, and she said to Jin Niang: "You leave from the back door now, and go straight to Zhongjiang County to find the prince, if the prince is still well, he will definitely find a way to save me." ”
Jin Niang hurriedly said: "If I leave, what will the princess do?" ”
Lan Qingxuan's eyes deepened, and she said softly: "You don't have to worry about me, I can protect myself." ”
She said that Jin Niang would not believe it no matter what, in this situation, those people are strong in martial arts, this time the poisoning is just a temptation, and when they see that they are not poisoned, then they will definitely do it directly.
Lan Qingxuan has not recovered from a serious illness and is a little pregnant, how can she be the opponent of those people? Moreover, it takes almost two days to go back and forth from here to Zhongjiang County, and two days can have great changes, and when she comes back, I am afraid that Lan Qingxuan will be dead.
So Jin Niang felt that Lan Qingxuan had broken her apart at this time, just to save her life.
Jin Niang said softly: "I will never leave the princess, even if I want to die, I will die with the princess." ”
Lan Qingxuan saw Jin Niang's extremely firm face, and knew that Jin Niang didn't believe a word of what she said at this time, and she also knew that Jin Niang's temperament, if it was more serious, it would be more serious than anyone else.
Lan Qingxuan looked at her and said, "If you really don't want to leave, then let's face it together!" ”
Jin Niang nodded.
Lan Qingxuan whispered a few words in her ear, she nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
A few people outside the house were waiting outside, and after hearing that there was no movement in the house, they glanced at each other, and Sister-in-law Zhang said softly: "Lu Yi, will we recognize the wrong person?" It's not good to kill the wrong person. ”
