Chapter 42: Saving the Soft Heart
Three days later, Gongzi Jin left the Jinling Library in a carriage. He decided to go back to the capital first and then make plans.
Feng Yan has never been able to figure out a question. That is, since those men in black have already caught Xu Lao, they don't look for treasures, but have to provoke their own sons.
Feng Yan expressed his doubts during the break. Gongzi Jinqian told him that although Xu Lao was old, he was a man who would rather bend than bend. He would never tell the secret on the bamboo.
I see! Rouxin's thoughts are the same as those of Feng Yan. Unexpectedly, Gongzi Jinqian had long expected that these killers would appear again. So he transcribed the secret of the treasure to Gongzi Qingqian, was he also afraid that if he was defeated, he would die, so that Gongzi Qingqian would track it down on his behalf? Rouxin is not bad at all!
Gongzi Qingqian put aside all grievances to save Gongzi Jin, precisely because he saw that Gongzi Jinqian wanted to investigate this group of people, and even risked his own life.
Gongzi Jinyan has already ordered in the car to use all manpower to thoroughly investigate this underworld force!
Gongzi Qingqian used the eyeliner and secret reports of the imperial court. And Gongzi Jinqian used the power of the rivers and lakes. The forces of the rivers and lakes are everywhere!
Gongzi Jinqian knew that the road back to Beijing would not be smooth, but he never expected that these men in black would attack the tenderness beside him.
Rouxin was robbed in the inn where they were resting. When Feng Yan took the wooden cards left by those killers and gave them to Gongzi Jin, Gongzi Jinqian knew about the robbery of Rouxin.
The wooden plaque is carved with a mountain. Childe Jin opened the sketch and looked for it. At this time, Feng Yan put another silk scroll in front of Gongzi Jinyan.
"Yao Tong sent it!"
Gongzi Jin opened it and looked at it, and it read: Go east!
Gongzi Jin's heart settled down a little. Childe Qingqian must have found that someone had robbed Rouxin and followed him.
The inn where Childe Qingqian lives is diagonally opposite. He had been sitting in front of the window drinking tea. So when he saw someone sneaking into the inn at night, he stared at the inn's door.
After a while, he saw three people come out of the wall. One of them was carrying a cloth bag.
A person who can be carried over a wall, the person in the bag must not be too heavy.
Childe Qingqian thought of Rouxin, so he quickly wrote four words on the silk scroll, and then jumped down the window and chased away.
The three black-clad and masked men had no idea that someone would follow them in the middle of the night. So, Childe Qingqian found one of their dens.
According to the environment and furnishings here, Childe Qingqian already knows that this is the backyard of a rice shop.
"You carry those sacks of rice to the bullock cart!" And when the chief had given the order, he went into the house with the other man. After killing the masked man in black who was carrying rice, Childe Qingqian threw his body into the well.
Childe Qingqian changed into a night clothes, covered with a scarf, and carried the rice bag onto the ox cart.
He was about to untie the bag on the ground when the other two masked men came out. One of them stuffed a green onion cake roll for Childe Qingqian. Childe Qingqian took two bites and threw it away.
The son who never eats raw green onions has to endure the smell of green onions!
The two men in black loaded the sack with their soft hearts into the car. The two of them sat in front of the ox-cart.
Childe Qingqian sat beside Rouxin. He probed it with his hand, and his soft breathing was still there. His heart relaxed.
It stands to reason that it is very simple for him to save Rouxin. But in order to find the foothold of these people, he could only temporarily grieve and be soft.
The ox cart has been following a path to the east. At ten o'clock in the middle of the day, they came to a mountain.
The man in black at the head of them set off a cigarette bomb. After a while, two people came down from the mountain. Each of them had a sack of rice. Childe Qingqian hurriedly carried the soft heart on his shoulder.
"Huh! At first glance, it's a chick! Never seen a woman! ”
"But this girl is pretty too!" The black-clothed man at the head also took a bag of rice and walked towards the mountain.
Childe Qingqian deliberately walked slowly. He took advantage of the inattention of the people in front of him to release his soft heart.
"It's me!" Childe whispered softly in Rouxin's ear.
Rouxin rubbed her numb arm that was trapped, and just as she wanted to stand up, she was thrown on the lawn by Childe Qingqian.
"Huh! What a shame! Hurry up! The leader saw that there were no footsteps behind him, and came to check. When he saw Childe pounced on Rouxin's body, he thought he was doing that dirty thing.
Childe Qingqian heard the footsteps go away, so he got up and pulled up the soft heart. Rouxin felt her face heat up.
"Pick up the stones!" Childe Qingqian put the stones under his feet into his pocket.
Childe Qingqian bowed his head and instructed Rouxin to make a mark on the passing tree.
Rouxin walks through the woods. Childe Qingqian walked on the mountain path with a stone on his shoulder.
Stone is much heavier than softheart. But Childe Qingqian didn't feel tired. From time to time, he looked at the soft heart in the woods. Rouxin also smiled back.
A cave appeared. The two men in black were waiting for Gongzi Qingqian at the entrance of the cave.
"If the good deeds you kid has done are known to the cave master, you will look good!" The little man pointed at Gongzi Qingqian and scolded.
Gongzi Qingqian arched his hand at him, and followed the two into the cave.
He gestured to Rouxin, who poked her head out from behind the tree, to wait outside.
Rouxin knew that he must have informed Gongzi Jinyan. So she had to continue to hide in the woods and wait.
After Gongzi Jinyan saw the silk scroll sent by Yao Tong, he took Feng Yan to the east. There was only one road leading out of the city.
Gongzi Jinyan and Feng Yan chased for a long time and came to an intersection.
"Childe! How can there be so many grains of rice on the ground! Feng Yan squatted down and picked up a few.
"It's a rut mark of an ox cart! Let's go this way! Gongzi Jinyan and Feng Yan walked all the way to the front of the mountain. They saw an ox cart in front of the mountain, but they didn't find a bag of rice.
"They must have gone up the mountain!" Feng Yan noticed a triangular mark on the tree on the side of the mountain road.
Gongzi Jinyan and Feng Yan came to the outside of the cave. Rouxin suddenly appeared, causing a rare smile to appear on Gongzi Jin's face.
It turns out that he can laugh too! Rouxin thought happily. As soon as Feng Yan wanted to enter the cave, he was stopped by Gongzi Jinyan.
"Wait!"
Feng Yan came to Gongzi Jin's side. Gongzi Jinyan commanded a few words in his ear.
Feng Yan picked up a large number of branches and piled them at the entrance of the cave. Rouxin looked at Gongzi Jinqian inexplicably.
"If we don't get a stick of incense! You will set the firewood on fire! Gongzi Jinqian handed Rouxin a fire fold.
"You won't ......," Rouxin's eyes were full of worry.
"Nope! There must be other exits out there! After Gongzi Jinqi finished speaking, he went into the cave with Feng Yan. They heard the sound of the fight and quickened their pace.
It turned out that Childe Qingqian carried a bag of stones not long after he went in. The lord of the cave, who was sitting on the throne of the cave, commanded him to open his pocket.
Childe Qingqian deliberately pulled the wrong knot and made it a dead knot. The purpose is to stall for time. The leader next to him thought he had done that, and he drew his sword and cut the rope.
The stone rolled out of the bag. Everyone in the cave was stunned.
"Say! Where are the people? The cave master's face became gloomy.
