Chapter 268: Distress
Qingluo nodded: "Yes, I have studied with my father for a few years, and I have also gone into the mountains to hunt." ”
"You're not a local?" Yuanning was surprised that there were no mountains in Tianqing County.
"Well," Qingluo nodded, "I was abducted when I was ten years old and sold into a dental shop. I haven't lost my ability since I was a child, I was unwilling, I escaped several times, and each time I was almost killed, and then I was scared of being beaten, so I didn't dare to escape. ”
"I see," Yuan Ning moved a little compassion, since ancient times, human traffickers are the most hateful and deserving of killing, "Then do you remember your hometown?" If possible, I'll discuss it with my lord and send you back. ”
Qingluo's eyes were red, "I am a child in the mountains, and I only know that our village is called Qianshan Pavilion, but I can't say ...... at all."
Yuan Ning sighed, "I have to inquire slowly." ”
The two of them talked as they quickly urged the donkey to hurry.
Suddenly there was a strange sound behind him, which seemed to be the sound of gold breaking through the air.
Qingluo's face changed greatly, and she shouted: "Get down!" Yuan Ning leaned on the donkey's back in response, turned her head to look back, and saw two carved arrows coming straight towards her and Qingluo, and she even felt the fluctuations in the air.
At this rate, they didn't have time to dodge at all, and even though they lay down to avoid the vital point, they would still poke two transparent holes in their bodies!
I can see it clearly, and I can react in my head, but if I want to dodge, my body can't keep up with the speed of my brain, and I don't have time to dodge anymore.
She watched the arrow enlarge little by little in front of her eyes, but she couldn't help it.
At the last moment, two stones flew out of the oblique thorn, and they hit the shaft of the arrow, two arrows
The castration is inexhaustible, and the oblique thorns are inserted into the ground, making two muffled sounds of "poof", stirring up dust.
Yuan Ning and Qingluo's faces were very ugly, and their hearts were beating hard.
Soon a person came out of the woods on the side of the road, and Yuan Ning recognized it at a glance, it was the middle-aged man who had been poisoned by the snake in Su Heting and had taken him in the past.
But since then, she hasn't seen this person again.
The middle-aged man arched his hand at Yuan Ning and said, "Please also ask my wife to find a safe place to take shelter for a while, and make sure that there is no danger here before hurrying." ”
Yuan Ning wanted to get off the donkey's back, but found that his hands and feet were a little disobedient.
It was Qingluo who came down first, helped her to the ground, and the two stumbled behind the tree to hide.
After a while, the sound of kicking and tapping horses' hooves sounded, and a tall and thin man riding a black horse slowly appeared in view.
The middle-aged man clasped his hands around his chest and said lightly: "I didn't expect that you would do such a dirty thing!" ”
Sai Qingzhu sneered: "I'm a killer, collecting money from people and killing people for people, what's so strange!" It's you, the famous scholar with a pen, who went to be a slave for others! ”
The scholar with the iron pen sneered: "Xia Worm is not enough to talk about ice, since the words are not speculative, let's do it!" ”
Sai Qingzhu's eyes wandered into the distance for a moment, but he didn't find Yuan Ning and Qingluo, and pursed his lips, "I never do things that I am not sure of." You'd better make sure you're there for them at all times, or they'll lose their lives sooner or later. It's not me, it's someone else. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.
The scholar with the iron pen had a gloomy face, and stood in place for a moment before inviting Yuan Ning to come out.
Yuan Ning had regained his composure at this moment, and he Qingluo came out from behind the tree, thanked the scholar with the iron pen first, and then asked, "Where does this person come from?" ”
The scholar with the iron pen bowed slightly, "Madam, the contemptible surname is Zheng." You can call me Lao Zheng. ”
"Mr. Zheng," Yuan Ning smiled and bowed to him, "I'm young, how can I be big." ”
A faint smile appeared on Zheng Yu's face, "These things can't be explained in a few words. ”
Yuan Ning immediately said: "Then let's go back and talk about it." ”
Zheng Yu escorted the master and servant all the way home, and only after making sure that they were safe did he go to find Su Heting.
Su Heting was originally handling official business in the yamen, and when he heard about this, he immediately left what he was doing and returned to the inner house, and looked at Yuan Ning from head to toe several times to make sure that she was safe and sound, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Ning comforted him in turn: "I was really scared at the time, but now it's over." You should think carefully about what that person is and how to deal with it.
"I'm a little woman, even if I do some business, I have a big family in Tianqing County, but it's not enough to look at it outside, so it's impossible for me to make any enemies. This man is coming for you.
"In the future, you must be more careful when you enter and exit. But if we want to prevent future troubles, we still have to investigate and deal with the root cause. ”
Su Heting nodded, this can't be the end, it can only be the beginning, and even making a move on Yuan Ning is just a temptation.
He is extremely glad now, Yuan Ning chose to ask his husband to teach a few children at home, otherwise his limited manpower would be scattered, "In the past few days, you have told your younger brothers and sisters not to go out as much as possible." I will also solve this matter as soon as possible. ”
Yuan Ning agreed, and then asked, "Do you have eyebrows?" ”
Su Heting sneered, "Why else are people rushing at me?" Left, but I touched the interests of others. Therefore, it must be someone involved in the Dongjiacun case. This isn't the first time I've been assassinated for this. ”
As soon as he arrived in Tianqing County, he began to suppress bandits, and he was assassinated, but at that time, there were mostly warning elements, and he didn't want to hurt his life, but now, he ...... According to Zheng Yu's description, if it weren't for Zheng Yu's action, Yuan Ning and Qingluo would not have come back alive.
The best thing that the green bamboo is best at is the arrow tree, which wears the poplar in a hundred steps, and the example is not in vain.
Yuan Ning was a little curious: "Who is that Sai Qingzhu?" ”
"He's a killer," Su Heting tried to calm himself down, "He is well-known in the rivers and lakes, but he is not a big traitor, he can only be said to be both good and evil." ”
Yuan Ning was puzzled: "I always feel that this person has shown mercy." ”
"Impossible!" Su Heting said categorically, he believed in Zheng Yu's judgment.
"Don't worry," Yuan Ning waved his hand, "listen to my explanation." On the way, Qingluo and I first saw a rabbit with an arrow wound, and if Qingluo hadn't seen the opportunity, the rabbit would have hit my donkey.
"Then after a while, this race green bamboo appeared, so I wondered, could it be that people deliberately warned us before? Actually, he didn't want to kill us in the first place? ”
Su Heting nodded slightly, "But it is not ruled out that there is another possibility, there was a third party present at that time, and Sai Qingzhu was discovered in advance, so he came to warn you." ”
Yuan Ning shook his head, "I can't say for sure." ”
"Then don't go out either, I'll check this matter as soon as possible," Su Heting hugged her lightly and dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead, "I've wronged you first." ”
