If Xiao Man remembers correctly, the last time she met Chu Yu, the carriage that the other party was riding in was also very low-key, and even the king mentioned this.

If Chu Yu had always been frugal, it would have been fine, but Chu Yu had good clothes and good taste, and even the tall guard who followed him had no ordinary clothes.

How could such a person ride in such an ordinary, even somewhat rudimentary carriage, and go out of the city frequently?

"That's right!" Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something, he said, "I remember that the prince's mansion and our mansion are very close, right?" ”

Pearl didn't know what the other party was going to say, but she still nodded and said, "This neighborhood is basically the mansions of courtiers and royal children, and few ordinary people live here. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Qi nodded and said solemnly: "Our carriage is equipped with this tree, so it is inconvenient to take the main road, but what about the prince?" His carriage was so small that even if the streets were crowded with people, his carriage could pass smoothly, but he was so inclined to squeeze the road with us that a conflict broke out in the back. ”

"Maybe it's a faster path?" Xiaoman guessed.

She has been in Bei'an City for a long time, but because she is busy with various things, except for going to see the lanterns and looking for jade with Lu Li before, and she knows a little about Bei'an, Xiaoman doesn't know anything about the other big roads and small roads.

So Xiao Qi quickly shook his head and denied Xiao Man's conjecture, he said: "On the contrary, it will be faster to take the big road, although there are few people on the small road, but the road is very narrow, and the road surface is also very uneven, no one will go to the small road in a hurry, because it will be more wasteful of time." ”

That carriage was so simple, even if it was in the middle of the city, no one would recognize it, and the path was such a waste of time, why did Chu Yu have to take the path?

Xiao Man was puzzled and couldn't figure out Chu Yu's thoughts.

"Madam, no matter what, we really appreciate you for your dedication to me and Xiao Qi just now." Qi Ming said, his eyes full of sincerity.

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi lowered his head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Madame offended the prince for us, and I don't know if that prince will embarrass Madame in the future, it is me and Qi Ming who have caused you trouble." ”

The other party is a prince anyway, and he is narrow-minded and has a big temper, I really don't know if that prince will do anything to harm Xiaoman after being taught a lesson by them today.

But after Xiao Man heard this, he just smiled and comforted: "It's nothing, I don't have a good relationship with that prince, besides, you didn't do anything wrong today, there's nothing to worry about." ”

"But... Hey, it's all our fault. Qi Ming drooped his head, looking listless.

Looking at Xiao Qi again, he also lost the spirit of the past, and hung his head with Qi Ming, if he didn't know, at first glance at this scene, he might think that Xiao Man was reprimanding the two.

"There's nothing wrong with you, after all, you're just here to bring this tree back." Saying that, Xiao Man shifted the topic to the tree and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you guys would really transport this tree down!" You must have spent a lot of time and effort, right? ”

As soon as he mentioned this tree, Xiao Qiden jumped up again, he patted the trunk of the tree on the side quite proudly, and said: "That's nature, I and the same name went up the mountain early in the morning, found this tree and dug it back." ”

Seeing that Xiao Qi was talking energetically, Qi Ming couldn't help but join, and began to describe how a group of them went up the mountain and dug trees, and the two of them were finally no longer as energetic as they were just now.

After telling them, Xiao Man knew that there were many such trees on this mountain, but they couldn't find them because of the fog last time.

They originally wanted to dig a few more trees down the mountain, but they were afraid that the tree would not grow if it was transported down the mountain, so they only followed Xiaoman's order and brought one back.

"That's right," Xiao Qi thought of another interesting thing, he said with a smile: "The master said, those rabbits raised in the suburbs have already given birth to another litter, and now there are more and more pheasants, rabbits and whatever, he is going to build a house near his wife's greenhouse, so that he can move over with those rabbits." ”

The house where Lu Li lives now is not big, and if it continues to breed at this rate, it will indeed not be enough for those rabbits and pheasants to move.

Xiao Man nodded, "That's fine, when the matter of the bandits is resolved, I can go back to the suburbs without distraction." ”

As soon as the words fell, a scream suddenly came from not far away, heart-rending and panicked, which sounded very frightening.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the scream, Xiao Man chuckled in her heart for no reason, she hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Qi, Qi Ming, go and see, what's going on over there?" ”

Looking in the direction, it seems to be near the courtyard of Wangshu.

"Yes!"

The two left together, and Xiao Man, with the support of Pearl, hurried in that direction.

The ground, the wall, and the kang were all splashed with blood, dazzling and bloody, Wang's eyes widened, her hands were tightly circled together, hugging a man who was wrapped in black, she gritted her teeth and dragged the other party with her breastfeeding strength.

Wang's clothes had been stained red with blood, and he couldn't tell the original color of his clothes at all, and he couldn't even see where the wounds that kept bleeding out were.

However, even so, she did not spare one hand to cover her wounds, but hugged the legs of the man in black with both hands, looking like she was going to fight to the death with the other party.

When Xiao Qi and Qi Ming arrived, they saw such a scene.

When the man in black saw someone coming, he became more and more anxious to leave, but Wang's strength was amazing, and he couldn't move for half a minute, so he had to watch the door be opened, and two young men walked towards him.

Before Xiao Qi and Qi Ming made a move, the man in black begged for mercy first: "Two heroes, two heroes, let me go!" I-ah! ”

Before the man in black finished speaking, Xiao Qi directly stepped forward and slapped the other party hard to knock him unconscious, and the man in black only screamed, and then his eyes were closed and he fainted.

"Go and call someone, hurry up and rescue this lady." Command with the same name.

"Yes!"

Xiao Qi hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out, but he didn't want to just arrive in the courtyard, and before he could go out, he heard a familiar cry for help from a house not far away.

He was immediately shocked, this voice - it was Jade!

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Qi was struggling whether to go out and call someone to save the lady or go to see the jade first, when Xiao Man and Pearl also arrived.

Xiao Qi was amnesty, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Madam, there is a lady in the house who is seriously injured, I will go find someone to save her first, you go and see the jade in that house, she seems to have an accident!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go!"

Jadeite's side is not as serious as Wang's side, it's just a mess on the ground, Jade fell by the window, and was slapping the window with her hand, occasionally making a cry for help.

Her sideburns were scattered, her hairpin rings fell to the ground, her clothes were a little messy, her shoes were not worn, she was lying on the ground barefoot, looking extremely pitiful.

"Emerald!" Pearl rushed over and hurriedly helped the man up.

Xiao Man leaned against the wall, moved in front of the other party little by little, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Emerald, you... Didn't I give you a few maids to serve? Why is this house still so messy? ”

Jade was saved, clasping Pearl's arm with both hands, breathing heavily, and speaking one after another, "It's a... A bandit, he, he wants... Ahem ahem - tried to kill me, but okay... Fortunately, Aunt Wang is here....."

She spoke intermittently, her voice was high and low, Xiao Man frowned and pondered for a long time, stunned not to understand what the other party wanted to say.

However, Xiao Man vaguely heard Jade mention Wang's family, and couldn't help but glance out the window.

The house where the Wang family lived was on the opposite side of the jade, and from the surface, there was nothing unusual at all.

"Pearl, you take Jade to my bedroom first, find a doctor to show her, and I'll go outside to see Aunt Wang." As he spoke, Xiao Man limped out by himself holding on to the wall.

Pearl tried to get in the way, but Jade held it down with one hand, then shook her head and motioned for her not to do it.

She didn't know why, but looking at Jadeite like this, she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly followed Xiaoman's instructions and went out to find a doctor with Jadeite.

And Xiaoman walked to the door of Wang's house little by little, and as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Looking at the blood stains on the ground, on the wall, and on the bed, Xiao Man was stunned at the door, his brain was blank for a while, his ears were buzzing, his feet were so heavy that he didn't even have the strength to cross the threshold under his feet.

How did it come to this?

Xiao Qi, who went out to look for someone, came back and saw Xiao Man standing at the door, he couldn't help asking, "Madam?" Why are you here?! ”

Xiao Man bit her lips, her fingers clenched the door frame, and her wide eyes looked at Wang who collapsed on the ground, only to feel a chill burrowing into her bones, making her tremble uncontrollably.

I don't know how much strength and determination it took before she opened her mouth and asked, "In the house... What's going on? ”

"Ma'am, I... I don't know! Let's let the doctor in first! Xiao Qi hurriedly lifted the curtain, said a few words, and then took the doctor in.

After all, it is important to save people, where can he take care of Xiaoman at this time.

Xiao Man was still in a stunned state, only watching Xiao Qi take people in, while she herself had been standing at the door, and her eyes never took off the Wang family lying on the ground.

There was still a buzzing sound in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything.

It wasn't until he saw the doctor shaking his head helplessly, seeing Qi Ming covering Wang's eyes, and watching Wang being covered by Xiao Qi with a white cloth, that Xiao Man seemed to suddenly have consciousness.

The pungent smell of blood surrounded her, and Xiao Man suddenly felt a hot fishy sweetness surging up in his throat.
