Chapter 32: Acquaintance
However, Liu County received the news as early as last night, less than an hour after the death of the two officers and soldiers, and his expression immediately changed, and he did not dare to slack off, and flew to Yecheng overnight.
When Miao Yufei came in again, he saw that Dong Ru was still the same as when he left, and the rice porridge was already cold and had not moved.
His expression didn't change much, and he looked at Dong Ru indifferently when he saw that he didn't eat.
Standing on the edge of the bed and looking at her for a while, he suddenly said: "I didn't expect that there would be an unusual woman like you in the little countryside, and at this time, she didn't faint in fright, and she held on." ”
Dong Ru didn't speak, but his body tensed up, guarding against him.
Miao Yufei didn't think about it, his expression remained unchanged, but the ferocity in his eyes suddenly faded a lot, watching her body move, she suddenly sat on the edge of the bed, frightened Dong Ru's body shrunk, and thought he was going to do something, so he suddenly raised his head, looking at him without fear of life and death, and he dared to mistreat her, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Miao Yufei felt the change in the woman, and was shocked in his heart, he was a little impressed by this weak woman, although he was afraid of him, he was not afraid of life and death.
With a relaxed expression, he picked up the porridge bowl next to the bed and said, "I didn't expect to be a strong man." But ......" he said, his arm raised, and he suddenly exerted force, and pulled Dong Ru to him in a flash of lightning, and at the same time clamped her head, pried open her mouth, forcibly poured rice porridge into it, and said: "You can only be useful to me if you have a full stomach." ”
The cold rice porridge went down to the stomach, choking Dong Ru's face turned red, and she coughed suddenly, Miao Yufei looked at her like this and had no intention of helping, but the rice porridge went down to her stomach, although it was cold, it relieved Dong Ru's hungry stomach, and she also had a trace of strength in her body.
Miao Yufei let go of her, Dong Ru quickly stayed away from him, but he also raised his head to look at him, gasped for a long time before suppressing his cough, and asked him, "What are you doing with me?" ”
Miao Yufei was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and asked condescendingly, "You don't know who I am?" ”
"Who you are, and what do you have to do with me? I don't know you, you're a bandit! Dong Ru shook his head and glared at him and said.
She was caught here for no apparent reason, she was safe and stable since she was a child, and she never provoked anyone, except for bandits, she really couldn't think of anywhere else.
But Miao Yufei was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was faintly self-deprecating and bitter, and said: "Yes, I am a bandit, and I arrested you to ask your husband to save you and pay the ransom, otherwise I will kill you and tear up the ticket." ”
"My Xiangguild is here to save me, even if he doesn't come, I won't let you succeed!" Dong Ru protected his stomach with one hand and his collar with the other, gritted his teeth and said.
Dong Ru's mood gradually calmed down as she spoke, and her face was no longer in deep despair like before, but calm and serene. She had already made up her mind that if she couldn't save herself, then she wouldn't survive in the world. is innocent and humiliated, only one death can be expressed, and I only hope to renew the relationship with Wei Qilang in the next life.
It's just that her actions are no different from the weak mantis arm as a car in Miao Yufei's eyes, what does he want to do, Dong Ru, a weak woman, can't stop it.
smiled indifferently at the moment and said, "I'm not interested in you, I'm only interested in money." With that, he turned and walked out.
******
Another day passed, Dong Ru still had no news, Dong's father squatted on the threshold and didn't speak, only buried himself in the shadows, but Dong's mother didn't stop crying, just looked at the door of the house, hoping that a miracle would appear, and his daughter would come back intact, Dong Yun snuggled next to his mother and looked at it like this.
At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and the two elders stood up in surprise and looked at the door, only to see that it was the son-in-law Wei Qilang's body shaking, and in the strange eyes of the people outside, he strode into the door.
His eyes were dark and faint at the moment, and there was an unknown blood-red ferocity in the depths, his face was gloomy, and when he entered the door, he saw that the two elders of the Dong family and Dong Yun were safe and sound, and he was a little relieved in his heart.
didn't speak, went directly to the west room where he and Dong Ru lived, walked straight to the bed in the inner room, squatted down and lifted the thick curtain, revealing the bed wall underneath, stretched out his hand and patted it, and the bed wall was suddenly torn apart by him, revealing a dark grid inside.
When the dark grid was revealed, his face was a little hesitant, and his lips were pursed, but when he thought of Dong Ru, the ferocity in his eyes was even heavier, he closed his eyes slightly, sighed knowingly, and then reached in without hesitation and took out a bow.
This bow is made of black willow wood, and the arrow basket is filled with arrow feathers of the same color, both in shape and line, all exude a domineering and arrogant momentum, with a red spike tied at each end, and the bowstring is tight and powerful, and the elasticity is excellent.
He took the bow in his hand, put the arrow basket on his back, straightened up, and saw the stool that Dong Ru usually sat on, and there was a picture of mandarin ducks embroidered on the stool cover, he pursed his lips and looked at it for a while, and suddenly turned his head and walked out of the room.
The second elder of the Dong family waited for him to come out and immediately greeted him, Dong's mother couldn't cry anymore, only Dong's father stepped forward and said, "Qilang, Aru has ......" He said, his tone trembled but he couldn't speak, only sighed.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll get her back." Wei Qilang said, raised his head and glanced at Father Dong, and then turned around and went out with a bow on his back.
Father Dong was shocked there, and when Wei Qilang looked at him, he found that his eyes were not like the usual peace, but rather a deep calm, and there was nothing in his dark eyes, which made people have a bloodthirsty illusion in the depths of his heart.
There was already a middle-aged man waiting in the hidden place at the entrance of the town, wearing the uniform of the seven-grade county magistrate, who was waiting to the side with his head bowed and bowed.
When the master behind him saw the figure striding from the town, he stretched out his hand and stabbed the county commander's arm, and said in a low voice: "Master, the lord is here." ”
Liu Xianling's body shook when he heard it, and his legs trembled like sifting sugar, but he still stepped forward in three steps, bent over, and knelt straight where the person was going, and the master behind him did the same, kneeling down with Liu Xianling.
Wei Qilang stepped forward and saw the two kneeling people, and stopped and swept towards them with cold eyes.
Liu Xianling didn't dare to raise his head, only his bow was lower, more humble, knelt up, came to Wei Qilang's feet, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and pleaded guilty with a stack of sins: "My lord, the lower officials are not doing things effectively, resulting in Mrs. being kidnapped by gangsters, please surrender." ”
"Liu County Order, can you find out which direction the person went?" Wei Qilang thought of his wife's heart, and he had no intention of going on with Liu County's order, so he asked directly.
Liu Xianling hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, the lower official received the report the night before, so he sent people to check the traces of those people overnight, and finally lived up to the trust, and let the lower official find out that they went to a valley only fifty miles away from here, Dongliu Valley. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps above his head sounded, and in a few moments, he was already far away.
After a long time, Liu Xianxian straightened up his already bent waist, and his face was already covered with cold sweat, but he still knelt there, and when he looked up, the man had gone far, and there was only a small point left.
Behind him, the master also knelt down, and stepped forward to probe: "Master, what should we do?" This time I poked out such a big basket, and it was not enough for me to lose you. ”
Liu Xiancheng sighed, at a loss, his mind was in a mess, "You ask me, who do I ask?" You said it's true, who would have thought that such a big man would come to our remote place, it's good, if something happens, even the capital of Qingzhou above doesn't dare to care, I just hope that lady can be safe, otherwise we will wait for the head to move. ”
The master also sighed and was silent.
At this time, a hundred miles away from Jianglin Town, next to a Gobi path, there was a luxury carriage pulled by four sturdy tall horses, the curtain blocked the inside of the carriage tightly, and there was no trace of the interior scene, and there was a team of lightly armed guards around the carriage, holding sharp blades to protect the carriage in the center.
The wind was howling, and the wild sand on the Gobi was blown up, covering the sky and the sun, but those guards were upright and solemn, and they did not move in the face of the strong wind, and even the curtain of the carriage was not blown in the slightest in such a violent wind, and the inside of the carriage was still tightly covered.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, accompanied by the long neighing of the horses, and a vigorous figure turned over from the horse's back.
The figure was covered in black, revealing only a pair of small, dark eyes, from which the essence shone brightly.
He walked to a distance of a foot in front of the carriage, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the power of Zhongshu Ling is not as good as before, and your subordinates have learned the exact news, Your Highness, you can do it." ”
There was silence inside the carriage, and the figure kneeling on the ground did not speak, looking respectful and unfazed, as if he knew that the owner of the carriage would react in this way.
After a while, a young man's voice came, like the tinkling of water, and the slight rustling of verdant bamboo leaves, which came slowly from inside the carriage.
"How long have you been under Miao Yufei's hands? Jiang Jin. ”
The man was startled, a trace of caution quickly flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated for a long time before replying: "Back to Your Highness, your subordinates obey Your Highness's orders, and it has been three years since they sneaked into Miao Yufei's side. ”
"Since it has been so long, the power of Zhongshu Ling is not as good as before, what is the reason, have you found out?" The voices of the people in the carriage were still as shallow as water, like a pond without waves.
Jiang Jin was in a cold sweat, and he was already panicked and overwhelmed in his heart, completely lacking his previous calmness.
Only those who follow this master know how cold and cruel the owner of this voice is, seemingly calm but actually ruthless.
Secretly swallowing and spitting, Jiang Jin's eyes rolled sharply in order to save his life, and he thought of how to answer in a moment, but his head was lowered, his expression was more respectful, and he looked faintly, and his body was still trembling a little in the wind.
