Chapter 237: Ordinary Bandits?

For the sake of difficulty, Xiao Man was the first to find out that something was wrong, Hongyu proposed to change clothes with them, so that they could be arrested instead, although Xia Wanrou disagreed, but there was no other way, so she could only quickly change clothes with her subordinates, and then jumped out of the car and hid.

It's a pity that the two of them have no martial arts, and they jumped off the galloping carriage, and both of them were injured to varying degrees. Xia Wanrou's forehead hit a stone, the corners of her forehead were still bleeding down, and Xiao Man broke her leg and couldn't walk in a short time. If Lin Le hadn't arrived in time, they would have fainted by this time.

Fortunately, the terrain here is complicated, and those people did not dig deeper, so they were able to escape.

"Those people will be very angry if they find out that they have caught the wrong person." Xiao Man sighed and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, "Brother Wei, I looked at those people as if they were going in the direction of the mountain, you brought so many people, go and save Hongyu and them." ”

Wei Xiuyuan paused for a moment, "You saw with your own eyes that those people took away the red jade and pearls?" ”

Xia Wanrou nodded firmly, "Yes, when they were taken away, Xiao Man and I hid in the grass on the side, and those people covered their faces and couldn't see their faces. ”

"They didn't take anyone else with them except Ruby and Pearl?" Wei Xiuyuan didn't dare to ask about the child directly, for fear that it would bring a bigger blow to the two who were unwell, so he could only inquire sideways.

But such an attitude made Xia Wanrou more and more suspicious, she tightened Wei Xiuyuan's cuffs, and tried her best to ask: "What happened, Xiuyuan, you have to tell me word for word." ”

Wei Xiuyuan touched his nose in embarrassment, and wrapped his hands around Xia Wanrou, "It's okay, I just asked casually." ”

"Do you want to talk about it?" Xia Wanrou's strength became more and more intense, and the small piece of fabric on Wei Xiuyuan's cuffs was almost ripped off by her.

Seeing this, Lin Le, who didn't know the situation, echoed: "Xiuyuan, say it quickly, what if there are any clues?" Let's talk about it, and save my sister-in-law from worrying. ”

Xiao Man, who had been silent for a long time, tightened her eyebrows, and always looked at Wei Xiuyuan, who was embarrassed, she bit her lip to death, and weighed silently in her heart: Lu Li is strong in martial arts, although he didn't come with them, there should be no accident, and he and Sister Wanrou are also safe for the time being, as for Hongyu and Pearl, Wei Xiuyuan has just learned that they were kidnapped, so the rest ......

"Brother Wei!" Xiao Manhu screamed, looking at him with a frightened face, "Is it a child, how is the child in the city, is there something wrong with the child?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Xia Wanrou panicked, she used her last strength to shake Wei Xiuyuan, and asked loudly: "Is it right, what Xiaoman said is right, Xiuyuan, you tell me!" ”

Wei Xiuyuan, who had been hiding for a long time, hugged Xia Wanrou, who was already on the verge of losing control, he was embarrassed in his heart, and Lu Li had only guessed before, he was not sure what was going on in the mansion. Say it's okay, but if something happens, he's not easy to explain.

But if it's really okay, and his appearance just now is too suspicious, what should he do, this .....

was struggling, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came not far away, and the group of people didn't care about interrogating Wei Xiuyuan, they all looked in the direction of the sound, and happened to see the scene where Lu Li came with the small team of people and horses before.

Xiao Man didn't care about the injury on her leg, she moved forward a little with her hands support, and then shouted in the direction of Lu Li: "Lu Li, how is the child?" ”

Under the gaze of everyone, a group of people finally arrived, and Lu Li took the lead in dismounting, "It's okay, there is nothing wrong in the city, everyone is relieved." ”

"Are you really okay?" Xiaoman asked.

Lu Li nodded, "It's okay, I took someone back to see it, the children are all staying at home, the grandmother takes care of them very carefully, and there are no less secret guards in the house, you can rest assured." ”

As he spoke, he walked in the direction of Xiao Man, until he got closer, only to find that Xiao Man's dress was stained with some blood, he frowned, looked around again, and asked, "What about the two girls?" And the coachman and Mr. Lin's people, why are they gone, and the carriage is gone, what have you experienced? ”

Xiao Man endured the pain and explained the matter of Fang Cai, and at the end, she said anxiously: "Lu Li, you quickly take people to the mountains to find Hongyu and Pearl, they were taken away." ”

Taken captive to the mountains?

Lu Li couldn't help but look in the direction of the mountain, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, how could those people who were also the eldest princess not be able to distinguish the difference between a master and a slave? Even if Xiaoman and the subordinates changed their dresses, it can be seen from the hairstyle and headgear that those two girls have never married at all.

Could it be that those people are just ordinary bandits, who have done all this because they have the intention of seeing it, and they are not the people of the eldest princess?

But if it was just a bandit, there was no need to kill the coachman and Mr. Lin's people, and he made such a big game, and even spent so much effort to sneak into the hot spring pool, but he didn't do it at that time, all this is too strange.

"What about the guards who follow you? Are they gone? Lu Li asked.

According to his and Wei Xiuyuan's plan, half of the secret guards should stay in the mansion, and the remaining group of secret guards will be divided into two teams, one team will follow himself and Wei Xiuyuan, and the rest of the people will all follow Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou, they have just experienced so much, the movement cannot be small, and there is no reason why those dark guards should not appear.

Xiao Man shook his head, "Those secret guards are ghostly, and I don't know when they lost them, in short, when Sister Wanrou and I jumped out of the car, no one came out." ”

This is strange, if it is just an ordinary bandit, it is impossible to have such a high martial power to kill the secret guard given by the emperor, but if it is the person of the eldest princess, how can he not distinguish the difference between the master and the maid?

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. Right now, Xiaoman's leg is injured, Xia Wanrou's forehead is still bleeding, and they don't have time to dwell on these things anymore, and it is important to save people.

Therefore, Lu Li sighed, carefully hugged Xiaoman on the horse, and helped her treat the wound simply, while saying: "I know, you follow Mr. Lin and Xiuyuan back to see the doctor first, I will take people up the mountain, rest assured, I will definitely be able to save them." ”

"Okay, then you stay safe." Xiao Man reluctantly glanced at Lu Li, and said a few more words before going back with Wei Xiuyuan and the others.

Seeing that everyone was far away, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, immediately lifted his spirits, and quietly touched the mountain with the soldiers.

At this time, in the stockade on the mountain.

Ruby and Pearl were tied together and thrown haphazardly on the ground, and their headdresses and clothes were all messed up because they had been brought up recklessly. They originally thought that this was the person of the eldest princess that Wei Xiuyuan said, but judging from the style of these people, they were far from being the kind of scheming people.

They were also confused for a while, and all the rhetoric they had thought of could not be used, and the two of them were even more scared than when they were arrested.

Fortunately, there was no one in the house now, and the bold Hongyu took the lead in whispering, "Pearl, do you think this place looks like a bandit's den?" ”

If the people who capture them are just ordinary bandits, it is nothing more than a desire for money or sex, the former they can naturally be satisfied, but the latter ......

Pearl swallowed, carefully surveyed her surroundings, and whispered, "It's quite similar, but why are these bandits arresting us?" And when we were in the hot spring pool, there was a person with such a high level of martial arts following us, what the hell is going on, I'm going crazy. ”

Although they were ready to die for their masters at the moment they proposed to change their identities with Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou, when they were really arrested, at this moment, they were still a little panicked.

What's more, the surrounding environment is too weird, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of humiliation.

"Me too." Ruby let out a long sigh, her hands and feet were cold.

Pearl lowered her head, "Hongyu, is Lord Wei still hiding something from us?" How could we-"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the house creaked open, and the two of them shook and immediately fell silent.

A tall and strong, bearded man walked in, carrying a wide and long knife on his shoulder, he walked up to Pearl and Hongyu, and took the knife off his shoulder casually, and the heavy knife fell to the ground, making a "ding-" sound, which frightened Hongyu and the two of them trembling again.

The knife face was wide and long, Hongyu had the courage to glance at it, but she happened to see her own reflection on the knife face that was shining with cold light, she was so frightened that her scalp was numb, her body was shocked, and cold sweat continued to break out.

"Su Xiaoman, Xia Wanrou, is it the two of you?" The cheeky man asked in a thick voice.

Hongyu trembled, lowered her head, and stumbled and whispered, "Yes, dare... Dare to ask big brother, you, you catch us, do... Do what? ”

The cheeky man cleared his throat and suddenly smiled, "What are you doing?" Guess what I'm looking for you for. ”

"Are you asking for money?" Pearl raised his head boldly, "Big brother, if you want money, you say a price, we will definitely give it to you, big brother, just ask you to let us go, if we die, then you will absolutely-"

"I'm not going to make it to life, am I?" The big man sat on the chair and put the big knife on the ground casually, he leaned closer, "Little girl, look at me, do I look like a person who is short of money?" ”

Pearl lowered her head, her shoulders trembling, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Hongyu, on the other hand, leaned back, gritted her teeth, and plucked up her courage to say, "Big brother, since you know our identity, you must also know that she and I are not locals, and there are many people who have come with us, if we are gone, they will definitely find here." ”

"What about finding here? All I want is for them to come to me! The beard laughed, and the yellow teeth became more and more conspicuous.
