Section 116 Chapter 116 After the Escape

It is said that Lu Xiang'er slowly opened her eyes in a bumpy. Thinking that she was knocked unconscious by the man in black, Lu Xiang'er immediately understood that they were going to be unfavorable to her. And the most likely thing to happen is to take yourself somewhere and kill quietly.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er twisted vigorously, trying to push the wooden board above her head open. But she didn't expect that she didn't know what was put on top of the board, so she didn't move at all. Even the large wooden barrel did not move under her violent movements. Finding this, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but get anxious.

Feeling the fine sweat on her forehead, Lu Xiang'er tried to calm herself down and think of a way. Finally, she saw her hands tied in front of her, and thought that because she was very honest, those men in black didn't embarrass her too much. All along, Lu Xiang'er's hands were tied in front of her, or only her wrists.

Lu Xiang'er, who was in a small space, tried to reach out and pull out the knife hanging on her neck. Lu Xiang'er bit the handle of the knife with her mouth, pulled out the scabbard and cut the rope on her hands. After that, there is the cloth on the mouth and the rope on the feet.

After finishing this, Lu Xiang'er took a knife and drew a square on the big wooden barrel. The wooden block was gently pushed by Lu Xiang'er and thrown down. Just as Lu Xiang'er wanted to see where she was now, she heard an unfamiliar voice shouting: "Don't let go, stop the carriage-"

Lu Xiang'er didn't know who this person was, but when she heard that sentence, she understood that she hadn't left the city yet, and was at the gate of the city at this time. When Lu Xiang'er thought of this, she shouted: "Help, help—"

The two people sitting in the carriage were already about to force their way out of the city gate, but as soon as they heard this voice, their faces changed. Steward Zhang didn't think about it, so he jumped out of the carriage and said at the same time: "You rush out, I will entangle them, and I must not let them rescue Lu Xiang'er." ”

"I understand, be careful." When the chariot driver saw that some of the guards at the gate were coming towards him, he raised his whip and struck it vigorously on the horse's buttocks. The horse was inexplicably whipped so hard that naturally it let out a long neighing and ran forward.

A frightened horse is the most difficult to control when running. The guards who ran over, where did they dare to stop, and flashed to both sides. Lu Xiang'er, who was in the big wooden barrel in the carriage, made this powerful bump and almost vomited. But compared to her own life, Lu Xianger still shouted 'help' loudly.

Hu Buyi, who was behind, had already heard Lu Xiang'er's voice and tried his best to run this way, but he was intercepted by Manager Zhang. The martial arts of this steward are really high, and he actually entangled Hu Buyi and him with four people with the strength of one person. And Captain Li, who was standing behind, was obviously confused by this scene, and he was stunned for a long time before he understood what he was doing and rushed forward with his sword. But he was slapped by Steward Zhang and spit blood, and fell back to the ground again and again, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

At this moment, Huo Qingsong rode a horse and rushed over like the wind. He didn't pay attention to Hu Buyi, but went directly to the carriage that was about to rush out of the city gate. The soldiers who followed Huo Qingsong quickly divided into two parts, went to besiege Steward Zhang and continued to follow Huo Qingsong to chase the carriage.

Lu Xiang'er, who was in a small space, kept colliding with the big wooden barrel, which made her uncomfortable and painful. Feeling that she was about to be taken out of Jiangling Mansion, Lu Xiang'er's heart slowly sank. But when she saw Huo Qingsong, whose face was calm and coming quickly, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but leave tears.

Tears blurred Lu Xiang'er's eyes, but it did not prevent her from seeing that Huo Qingsong had already set up a bow and shot arrows and was trying to save herself. Maybe it's because I've been captive for so long, and I've finally seen someone familiar. Perhaps in the contact with Huo Qingsong, he has already remembered him little by little. The thing Lu Xiang'er wanted to do most at this time was to cry in Huo Qingsong's arms.

Feeling her own feelings, Lu Xiang'er's heart beat suddenly. In an instant, she understood something, and she had forgotten about her situation at this time. At that moment, Lu Xiang'er couldn't hear or see anything, but she understood that her heart was beating fast. It wasn't until a long hissing sound that Lu Xiang'er followed the big wooden barrel and fainted that she completely calmed down.

When Huo Qingsong saw this scene at the city gate, he had a plan in his heart. In order to prevent Lu Xiang'er from being taken out of the city, he could only shoot the horse to death. Seeing the rice scattered on the ground by four large wooden barrels rolling down from the carriage, Huo Qingsong's heart also lifted. Finding the big wooden barrel containing Lu Xiang'er, Huo Qingsong didn't pay attention to the person who set up the car, and didn't wait for his mount to stop, so he jumped off the horse and ran towards Lu Xiang'er.

At this time, Lu Xiang'er was already lying quietly on the ground, and all around her were fragments of wooden barrels. Fortunately, Lu Xiang'er was rolling and protected her face from the appearance of a blue nose and swollen face. But the messiness of her hair and the embarrassment on her body still made Huo Qingsong purse her lips tightly.

However, Huo Qingsong picked up Lu Xiang'er without stopping, got on the horse again and left quickly. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Hu Buyi, didn't pay attention to the two people, and didn't say a word. Hu Buyi knew that Huo Qingsong was very angry and angry now.

Looking back at the two people who were still trying to escape, Hu Buyi also lost his temper and shouted: "Give it all to me, life and death ...... it"

What happened at the north gate of Gangneung Mansion was transmitted at a very fast speed. Within half a day, the entire Jiangling Mansion already knew that Liao Wenbo, the eldest son of the Liao family, was one of the 'Chen Wangyu Dang', and 'Zhuo Ji Rice Vinegar' was the den of the 'Chen Wangyu Dang' in Jiangling Mansion.

After Liao Wenzhuo was taken away from the Liao family, Liao Nanguo, the head of the Liao family, announced that Liao Wenzhuo would be expelled from the Liao family. At the same time, Liao Nanguo also held a clan meeting in the ancestral hall of the Liao family and personally erased Liao Wenzhuo's name from the family tree. Since then, Liao Nanguo has only one son, Liao Wenbo. For this reason, Liao Wenzhuo's biological mother, Liao Nanguo's wife, fainted in the ancestral hall and woke up with dementia.

I don't know if Liao Wenzhuo wants to retaliate against something, or if he is really scared. In short, after arriving at Zhichong Mansion, Liao Wenzhuo told everything he knew without waiting for interrogation. After that, he didn't say a word, and his expression was dumbfounded.

With Liao Wenzhuo's confession, the 'Chen Wangyu Dang' in Gangneung Mansion was either killed or wounded. After interrogation, the people who couldn't stand the torture recruited their leader to be Shi Jun. From Jiangbei to Jiangnan, Shi Jun is the leader, and everything they do is planned and arranged by Shi Jun. In the face of these confessions, Shi Jun never spoke. No matter how heavy the punishment was, his expression was faint and had not changed.

After Chaoxia heard the name Shi Jun, she deliberately went to the prison of Zhichong Mansion. After she came back, she no longer let Fang Zhe torture. Because she knew this Shi Jun, he was a personal guard raised by King Chen himself, and he was brutally trained. As long as he didn't want to speak, no punishment would be of any use to him.

After a four-day lockdown, Gangneung finally lifted the ban on the fifth day and resumed normal access. In the four days, the wind and clouds have changed, and the people of Zhichong Mansion have never slept peacefully, and Huo Qingsong is even more so. However, the arrest of all the 'Chen Wangyu Dang' can also make him breathe a sigh of relief.

After handling the last official duties, Huo Qingsong raised his head and looked at the sky, it was almost noon. Thinking that after lunch, Lu Xiang'er, who was recuperating in Zhichong Mansion, was about to go home, Huo Qingsong's relaxed face turned cold again. After thinking about it quietly, Huo Qingsong got up and went to the back house of Zhechong Mansion.

Although Lu Xiang'er was not harmed by the 'Chen Wangyu Dang', the injury she suffered in the big wooden barrel that day still made her lie down for two days. Lu Xiang'er didn't feel anything at the time, but when she woke up in Zhichong Mansion, she felt that her body didn't look like hers anymore. In addition to her face, her body was covered in scars. When I gave Lu Xiang'er the medicine, Chaoxia, who had never had too many expressions, turned out to have some moist eyes. If it weren't for Lu Xiang'er immediately laughing a few words and easing the atmosphere, Chaoxia might have shed tears.

Lu Hong only learned the news the day after Lu Xiang'er returned. This is still Chaoxia said that she missed her mouth, and Lu Hong asked after it. Knowing that Lu Xiang'er was in Zhichong Mansion, Lu Hong said that he would go to see her. Chaoxia couldn't, so she only begged two government soldiers to help Lu Hong go to see Lu Xiang'er.

The brother and sister met this time, and it was a warm and touching scene. But when the two siblings calmed down, they thought about going home to recuperate. Anyway, the 'Chen Wangyu Party' has all been caught, and Lu Xiang'er doesn't have to hide. After all, Zhechong Mansion is the land of the official family, and it is not good for them ordinary people to stay here all the time.

Chaoxia also agreed with Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er's opinions, so she took the initiative to talk to Huo Qingsong. Huo Qingsong was silent for a long time before nodding in Chaoxia's surprised eyes. However, he wanted to invite Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er brothers and sisters, and Chaoxia to lunch. Chaoxia felt that there was nothing to refuse, so she agreed to Huo Qingsong's invitation.

Unexpectedly, when Chaoxia came back to talk to Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, Lu Xiang'er immediately said: "Sister Chaoxia, my brother's injury has not fully healed, so don't drink." Let's not stay here for lunch. ”

"Xiang'er, General Huo didn't say drinking, he just said having a light meal." Chaoxia looked at Lu Xiang'er, a little strange. Lu Hong did the same, and asked, "Xiang'er, your reaction is too big." Are you ......"

Without waiting for Lu Hong to ask, Lu Xiang'er grabbed again: "Brother, Sister Chaoxia, I just want to eat the dishes made by Aunt Zheng, and I don't mean anything else." Since you've all agreed, we'll have lunch and go home. After speaking, Lu Xiang'er used the excuse of being tired and lay down to rest again. And Chaoxia and Lu Hong looked at each other, and looked at Lu Xiang'er suspiciously.

Since Lu Xiang'er woke up, she has been a little weird. She seemed to be very afraid of seeing Huo Qingsong, and always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be because Huo Qingsong carried Lu Xiang'er back to Zhichong Mansion, Chaoxia helped Lu Hong out of Lu Xiang'er's room, thinking that this was the case.
