Chapter 121: Becoming a Target
Inside the palace.
The lord of Ceylon practiced whipping in the courtyard with a cold face, and the thick and long horse whip was waved in the air with a "crackling" sound.
With a bang, the whip shook off the weapon rack and split it in half.
The Lord of Ceylon sneered, took his horsewhip and went back to the house to sit down.
The maid hurriedly wiped her sweat and hands on the hot cloth on the ground.
"The county lord is really powerful, looking at the entire Chu country, who uses the whip better than the county lord?" Whispering is the maid of the county lord of Ceylon from the fiefdom to the capital, and she can follow her for the longest time.
The lord of Ceylon took a sip of tea. "Of course, the women in this capital are all powerless wastes, not enough for the county lord to whip."
Whispering's eyes flashed slightly, and after putting the pastry on the table, he smiled and frowned slightly: "It's just that some people who don't know what to do actually dare to show the county lord's face, the county lord doesn't know that after the slave heard that the emperor gave Su Muge and the second prince a marriage, Su Muge was even more unfocused, and said that the county lord is ......."
The Lord of Ceylon's face sank. "What's it!?"
Whispering, pursed his lips and gritted his teeth: "Say, saying that the county lord is a paper-folded tiger, it is useless, and there is no way to take her!" ”
"That's what this slut said!?" The Lord of Ceylon's face was full of anger.
"Yes, many people know it, the county lord, she is inevitably too rampant, she hurt you on the street before, you don't care, she still dares to provoke the county lord, it's unforgivable!"
"Su Muge, you are looking for death!"
The lord of Ceylon was angry and was about to go out, but the whisper stopped her. "The county lord is angry, then Su Muge must be shrinking in the Su Mansion now and dare not show up, you just passed like this, things are easy to make a big fuss, if the prince knows, I am afraid that he will be blamed...... It's not easy for the emperor to explain. "After all, Su Muge is now a quasi-imperial concubine.
"How can the lord of this county be such a fearful person!"
"The slave knows that the county lord is not afraid, but he ...... After all, this is the capital, and the slave maid heard that Su Muge bought a group of people outside......"
The Lord of Ceylon calmed down and looked at her. "Clear."
Whispering, with a dark look in his eyes, leaned into her ear and whispered.
After a moment, the Lord of Ceylon sneered. "Good, very good."
Following.
The lord of Ceylon County, dressed in riding clothes, galloped down the street all the way to a relatively remote alley in Beijing.
The guard behind her stepped forward and said, "County Lord, the person is at the back of this alley and takes out the house." ”
A grim smile appeared on the face of the county lord of Ceylon, and he ran in as soon as he grabbed the horse's belly.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I could hear Lang Lang's reading sound inside.
"Knock the door open to the lord of the county."
"Yes."
"Bang Bang Bang"
Cheng Ran, who was tidying up things in the yard, heard the noise, put down the work in his hand and walked towards the door.
"Who, who's out there?"
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, and the entire courtyard door was smashed to the ground.
Cheng Ran's face sank, and his angry eyes glared at the lord of Ceylon who came in on horseback.
The children who were attending classes in the house were also startled by the movement outside and stood at the door.
The county lord of Ceylon glanced at the children, and the smile on his face became more and more cold.
"Who the hell are you!?" Cheng Ran snorted coldly.
The county lord of Ceylon held his head high, and looked at Cheng Ran like an ant that could be crushed to death by himself at any time. "Su Muge, is it your master?"
Cheng Ran's face changed slightly. "Who the hell are you?!"
"It seems to be true, everyone has been arrested by the county lord!."
"Yes!"
More than a dozen guards rushed forward to grab the children in the house.
"Ah......h
"You're so bold."
Cheng Ran picked up the stick in the yard and resisted with the guards, but he was weak and was no match for these guards at all, but he was knocked to the ground and restrained by a guard in a few moves.
"I, I was invited to teach, I don't know anything, I don't know anything......"
Mr. Teaching was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and was so frightened that he almost cried.
A dozen children, all of whom were caught in a few moments, were thrown into the yard and tied up with ropes.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Help......
"It's noisy, and I've blocked my mouth to the county lord!"
"Yes!"
"You, what the hell do you want to do!" Cheng Ran was beaten so that the corners of his lips were bleeding, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"What do I want to do? The reason why you have today's fate is not to blame others, but to blame your master, Su Muge! Take them all with me! ”
……
"Miss, no, it's not good, it's not good!" Xin Che ran into the house with a pale face.
Su Muge put down his chopsticks. "What's wrong?"
"Cheng Cheng said that Cheng Ran and the children were arrested."
"What? What about Cheng Cheng? ”
"Wait in the back room."
Su Muge stood up. "Let's go."
When Su Muge arrived at the side room, Cheng Cheng shrank on the chair with a frightened face, and his eyes immediately turned red when he saw Su Muge coming in.
"Miss, you, you must save my brother and Dabao...... ......"I don't know if I saw it, Cheng Cheng finally couldn't help crying.
Su Muge pulled him into his arms and coaxed him softly, took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
"Good boy, don't be afraid, you tell me what happened first, what happened to my brother and Dabao?"
Su Muge's soft reassurance played a role, and Cheng Cheng gradually calmed down. "Yes, yes, just ......"
He gave a general account of what had happened.
"Because I suddenly had a stomachache, I went to the hut, and when I came back, I saw that they had been arrested, and I was afraid so I hid, and when they were gone, I came to the eldest lady."
After listening, the look on Su Muge's face sank.
"You did a good job, Cheng Cheng, you said that the leader was a woman, riding a horse and holding a horse whip in her hand?"
"Hmm."
She knows who it is!
Lord of Ceylon!
"Xinche, you take this child back to the Peach Blossom Courtyard to be appeased."
"Yes."
Xin Che stepped forward and took his still trembling little hand and coaxed him softly. "Don't be afraid, the eldest lady will definitely rescue your brothers."
"Thank you, Miss."
Yueru's face turned a little pale and followed behind Su Muge.
"Miss, yes, is it the lord of Ceylon?"
Su Muge nodded solemnly.
"Miss, what should I do?"
"You go and prepare, I'm going to the palace."
Yueru's face was full of worry. "It's too dangerous for the eldest lady to go alone, let the slave maid go with the young lady!"
Su Muge glanced at her helplessly. "You girl is worse than me, what are you going to do, wait in the house."
Su Muge returned to the house and put on the silver needle, poison powder and sleeve arrows before leaving the Su Mansion.
The lord of Ceylon arrested people with such fanfare, it must have been to let her find her.
The carriage stopped outside the palace, and as soon as Su Muge got out of the carriage, she saw the lord of Ceylon standing outside the palace looking at her with a smile.
"It's pretty fast."
Su Muge's eyes were cold. "Your purpose is me, let them go!"
The Lord of Ceylon smiled disdainfully. "Who do you think you are, let the county lord let it go?"
Su Muge took a deep breath in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want to do." ”
The Lord of Ceylon pointed to a dark red carriage parked outside the palace. "You'll know when you get in the carriage."
Su Muge's fingertips tightened slightly, and she had to do as she said.
When the lord of Ceylon saw her get into the carriage, he also turned on his horse and left the palace.
The carriage galloped quickly through the streets, large and small, until it exited the city gates.
It wasn't until the surrounding area became deserted that the carriage slowly stopped.
"Come down."
Su Muge lifted the curtain and saw the lord of Ceylon standing outside.
"What do you want to do?"
The Lord of Ceylon smiled triumphantly. "Yes, of course...... Let your life be worse than death. ”
If it weren't for being in the capital, Su Muge would have been better than dead, although the lord of Ceylon is a bastard, he still understands some of the stakes, there are too many pairs of surveillance eyes in the palace, otherwise she would not have bothered to take people out of the city.
"Go up the mountain."
Su Muge didn't move. "Tell me first, where is my man?"
"It's right up in the mountains."
Su Muge pursed his lips and walked towards the mountain.
Half an hour later, they stopped in the woods.
"Bring people to the lord of the county." The lord of Ceylon gave an order, and the people hiding in the woods escorted Cheng Ran and the children out.
Su Muge looked at Cheng Ran, who was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his pupils shrank.
"Miss......"
Su Muge looked at the Lord of Ceylon.
"Tell me, how are you going to let him go?"
"The county lord suddenly wants to practice archery, but there is no target, Su Muge, what do you say?"
Su Muge's eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness. "What does the county lord want?"
The Lord of Ceylon smiled viciously. "There are two choices, one, you make a target for me, and second, choose one of them to be a target for the lord of this county, what do you say?"
Su Muge glanced at the frightened children, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll make a target for you!"
"Let the future princess make an arrow target for the county lord, and the county lord must practice his head well, bring a bow."
"Yes."
"Su Muge, stand under that tree."
"No, don't be the eldest lady, let the little one be the target......" Cheng Ran shouted as he looked at Su Muge with red eyes.
The Lord of Ceylon frowned in displeasure. "It's too noisy."
The guard standing beside Cheng Ran raised his hand and punched him in front of the door.
"Hmm!" Cheng Ran fell to the ground softly.
"Cheng Ran!"
"If you know each other, shut up the lord of this county, otherwise this is your burial place."
The county lord of Ceylon held a bow in his hand, and gradually pulled the bow full and aimed it at Su Muge, who was standing ten meters away.
"Su Muge, where do you say this county lord should shoot this arrow? Your head, or your chest? ”
Before the words fell, there was a "boom" sound, and the arrow in the hand of the county lord of Ceylon immediately flew out and stabbed straight towards Su Muge's head.
Su Muge clenched his fists and stared at the arrow that was so fast that it was unreal to the naked eye.
There was a soft "snort", and a sharp arrow pierced her clothes......
