As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, there was an echo in the alley, and a familiar female voice suddenly came from somewhere: "Sister Xiaoman!" ”

There were only three words, as if the voice appeared and disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace, and the speed of speech was very fast, so fast that before Lu Li could figure out where the voice came from, the female voice disappeared.

However, Xiao Man still heard it instantly, this is Wang Youhe's voice!

She was a little overwhelmed with excitement, and couldn't help shouting: "Young lotus! Where are you? Wang Youhe?! ”

But this time, there was still only her echo floating in the alley, and she didn't wait for the other party's echo for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Li sighed and comforted Xiao Man softly: "It seems that they keep their promises, otherwise they won't bring people here, Xiao Man, don't worry, Wangshu and they will definitely be able to come back safely." ”

Even if Xiao Man was uneasy in his heart, he could only nod at this time, not only to calm himself down, so that Lu Li could feel at ease, but also to give himself a hint in his heart, so that he would no longer be so restless.

Seeing Xiao Man regain his composure, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head and shouted in a deep voice: "It's not too early, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be pedestrians passing by, and it will be difficult to trade at that time." ”

Saying that, Lu Li slowly squatted down, put the package containing the money in his hand on the ground, but his hand was still tightly clenched, he said: "The money is here, according to your martial arts, you can take it at any time, what about that person?" You should bring it out for us to meet, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "bang" in front of the two, and a bright light flashed, and then, a large puff of white smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air in the narrow and slightly gloomy alley, completely covering the sight of the two.

Because he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, Xiao Man nervously hugged Lu Li, while the man tensed his muscles and looked around vigilantly in case something unexpected.

But the surroundings remained quiet until the whites of the eyes completely dissipated.

The cloth bag that Lu Li put on the ground had disappeared, and three figures appeared at the end of the gloomy alley, two tall and one short, slowly walking towards Xiao Man and the others, Lu Li fixed his eyes and saw that this was Hua Li, Wang Youhe and Wang Shu!

All three of them had a black strip of cloth over their eyes, and because they couldn't see and were not familiar with the terrain, the three of them walked cautiously forward, looking rather cautious.

"Holley!" Lu Li shouted.

The three people not far away suddenly became excited, and the steps under their feet were faster, and Xiao Man, who had just opened his eyes, was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was about to run in the direction of the three of them.

But before Xiaoman could lift his feet, Lu Li grabbed the person and reminded in a low voice: "This alley is too narrow, don't rush over first, after I'm sure there is no danger around, we will save people in the past." ”

Xiao Man nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." ”

When Lu Li observed whether there was anything unusual around him, Xiao Man always looked at the three people who were walking slowly towards him, from the outside, except for Hua Li and Wangshu's clothes were a little dirty, and Wang Youhe's hair was a little messy, there was no other damage.

Although the three of them walked a little slowly, their posture was very normal, and it could be seen that they were not injured.

Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought: As long as the three of them can come back safely, the 600,000 taels of silver are nothing.

Just thinking about it, Lu Li took Xiao Man's hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go." ”

The two walked smoothly in front of the three of them, helped Hua Li and the others take off their blindfolds, Xiao Man squatted down and hugged Wangshu, looking at the faint red marks on the child's delicate little face somehow, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

"Miss Wang, has the poison in your body been cured?" At this time, Lu Li still did not forget his business.

Wang Youhe nodded, "The thief has given me the antidote just now, I think it's much better than before, it should have been detoxified." ”

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, let's go first, and we'll talk about the old days when we get back to the house." ”

As she spoke, Xiao Man suddenly remembered something, she raised her head and looked at Wang Youhe, "What about the rest of your team?" Didn't the bandits let you go? Or ......"

Hua Li, who was arranging his clothes, coughed lightly, and his voice could not hide his tiredness, and said: "We were brought down from the mountain by the bandits this morning, and they brought us strips of cloth before we arrived in the city. ”

Lu Li said: "Now is not the time to speak, go back to the house first, I will go outside the city gate to see, if the rest of the people are there, I will definitely bring them back safely." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man hurriedly picked up Wangshu and went back to the house with Huali, Wang Youhe and others.

Back in the mansion, Pearl, Jade, He Miao, and Fuliu, who was not at ease sent by the king, everyone was anxiously waiting at the door, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw a few people returning safely.

As soon as he entered the door, before he entered the house, Lu Li hurriedly ordered: "Pearl, go find a doctor nearby, so that I can help Miss Wang diagnose her pulse and see if this poison has been cured." ”

"Huh?" Pearl grew her mouth in surprise, took Wang Youhe's hand and looked left and right, frowning worriedly: "This... Hasn't this ransom already been paid? Didn't the thief give Miss Wang an antidote? ”

"They gave me the pill and it's much better than before." Wang Youhe hurriedly explained.

Lu Li turned around and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that the other party is a thief!" Let's ask a doctor to take a look, and by the way, we can also help Huali and Wangshu take a look, and we can feel more at ease. ”

Pearl answered, and hurriedly went out to ask for a doctor.

Because he remembered that a few people had just come down from the mountain, they must have been frightened a lot in the past few days, so Xiao Man blocked the people who came to visit the door, and only Fuliu, himself and Lu Li were left in the house, and a few servants were left.

Xiao Man squatted beside Wangshu, carefully rubbed the ointment on the other party's strangled face, and asked softly, "Wangshu, do you feel uncomfortable on your body?" ”

"No, don't worry, I hope everything is fine." Wangshu is very sensible, but he is still comforting Xiaoman, "They just locked me in a small black room and didn't abuse me, don't worry, mother." ”

That being said, Wangshu is only a four-year-old child after all, and it is inevitable that he will be frightened when he experiences such a thing inexplicably.

Xiao Man sighed, put away the ointment, gently blew the wound on Wangshu's face, then looked at the other party, and said, "Wait for the doctor to come, let the doctor check the pulse, and after making sure everything is fine, I'll take you to rest, okay?" ”

Wangshu nodded obediently, and then took the initiative to hold Xiao Man's hand, which was clenched tightly, full of attachment and reluctance.

Seeing this, Xiao Man became more and more distressed, and couldn't help but get up and hold Wangshu in her arms, she hugged the child tightly, and gently patted the other party's back with one hand, so as to dispel the fright that Wangshu had received in the past few days.

On the other side, Hua Li and Wang Youhe were talking to Lu Li about the ambush that the team encountered.

Their team was attacked at the foot of a relatively remote mountain near Bei'an City, and the situation was chaotic at that time, because several people with strong martial arts in the team fell first, and the whole team lost its backbone, plus Hua Li and Wang Youhe were captured, and the people below did not dare to move.

In this way, they did not even have a chance to ask for help, so they were taken captive, including the goods that had been transported thousands of miles away, and they were also moved to the mountains by the thieves in one fell swoop.

"You mean, these bandits were prepared?" Lu Li frowned and said.

Holley nodded firmly, "That's right! My caravan has been going back and forth for many years, and I have encountered many robberies and roadblocks, but I have never been so easily defeated as this time, especially since the opponent attacked several people with the highest martial arts skills as soon as they came up, which had to make me suspicious. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Youhe also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes!" It stands to reason that wouldn't the thieves be supposed to steal the goods or money directly? But they were different, as if they were coming for me and Lord Warley, and they were not in the slightest interested in the goods on the other carriages. ”

Hearing what they said, Lu Li became more and more puzzled, and he said, "Maybe you don't know that these bandits kidnapped you and destroyed all the vegetables in the greenhouse in the suburbs. If they kidnapped you for money, then why did they destroy so many vegetables? ”

"What?!" Hua Li and Wang Youhe exclaimed in unison and stood up in unison.

Lu Li nodded, waved his hand and motioned for the two to lower their voices, explaining: "Although it is not clear for the time being whether the people who destroyed the greenhouse and the kidnappers of you are the same people, but according to the current situation, it is very likely that those thieves did it, after all, Pearl, Jade and Wangshu were all stunned by Ecstasy Incense." ”

Hua Li, who originally thought that the bandits were just trying to make money, was also confused at this time, and couldn't help asking: "The county lord has only been in Bei'an City for a few months, and she has never had a grudge against anyone, why did those bandits target her?" Destroying the vegetables in the greenhouse will not do them any good! ”

Lu Li shook his head, frowned and did not speak.

The room was quiet, and only the voices of Xiaoman and Wangshu could be heard talking softly, but fortunately, this overly oppressive silence did not last long, because Pearl came back with the doctor.

"Let's show it to Youhe first." Xiao Man got up with Wangshu in his arms, walked to Wang Youhe's side, and said worriedly: "After all, you have been fed poison, although the thief said that he has fed you the antidote, but I still don't worry, let the doctor diagnose your pulse first." ”

Wang Youhe nodded, sat on the chair, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small piece of white and plump wrist, and then covered his wrist with a thin handkerchief, waiting for the doctor to check his pulse.

The doctor didn't have so much courtesy, so he stepped forward and put his hand on the other party's wrist, and hung his head for a long time.

The hearts of the people around him were hanging, and it wasn't until the doctor took his hand away that Xiaoman dared to speak: "Doctor, how is she?" There's no toxicity in the body, right? ”
