The road conditions seemed to be very bad, and the car was extremely bumpy. Xia Ruixi grabbed the edge of the couch and tried not to jump around like a popping bean. Rao was like this, she still felt that her intestines were shaken, twisted into a ball, twisted into a dead pimple, and the pain was to death.

She grabbed the edge of the couch with one hand and pressed her stomach tightly with the other, tentatively discussing with the strong man guarding them to see if she could make the carriage run a little slower, or stop for her to catch her breath.

The strong man glanced at her indifferently: "Impossible. I really can't stand it, let your girl come over to help you and help you sit more comfortably. ”

Xia Ruixi helplessly looked at Jin Xia and Xiaozhu who were huddled tightly in the corner of the carriage and didn't dare to come out. was scared like this, where can I take care of her? Not everyone has the calm wit of Chun'er, and the pungent and neat of Liang'er. What's more, these two girls don't have any affection for her.

A bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, and the thunder first sounded sullenly, and then tentatively released a little sound, but it was cut off, and after a long time of rumbling, it exploded viciously, deafening, and the heart shook up and shook two or three times.

A cool breeze blew, and the soybean-sized raindrops crackled and smashed down, smashing the roof of the carriage with a chaotic sound, and a strong earthy smell filled everyone's nostrils. After a while, the rain poured down, and the people outside the car became chickens, and some people complained that the carriage was too heavy, the horses were too tired, and they couldn't see the road clearly, and strongly asked the rain to stop before leaving.

Someone shouted, "Keep up!" Keep up! Even if it rains, you can't stop, so you have to walk this section early. There is a place to rest after passing through the pass in front, and the lord takes people to wait in front, and when he goes, he eats and drinks spicy food. Whoever stays behind is waiting to die, Liu Lizi likes to bury people alive the most. It was Li Yue's voice.

His words had a good effect, and the team stopped the commotion and moved forward in silence, only to slow down because of the heavy rain.

Xia Ruixi pressed his aching stomach and asked the strong man: "The rain is so heavy, all the torches have been extinguished, what should I do if I go down the road?" Why don't you stop and wait for the rain to stop before leaving? ”

"Now it's raining heavily, but the road surface is hard. If you take a break, the water will soak the road surface, and the carriage will be too heavy, and it will definitely be sunk, and it will definitely not be able to cross the pass in front. ”

"Where are we going? What is pulled in the carriage? Why can't I get through when the road is soft? Xia Ruixi saw that the strong man was willing to answer her question, and couldn't help but boldly take a step forward.

The strong man didn't say anything this time, and wiped the knife in his hand silently.

After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and the rain was a little lighter. "Sit still!" The brawny man jumped out of the car.

Not long after, the curtain of Xia Ruixi's carriage was lifted, and Zhao Mingtao said coldly: "Come down!" ”

Facing the firelight not far away, Xia Ruixi could see very clearly, Zhao Mingtao's handsome face had a few scars, he was not wearing a helmet, his hair was a little messy, and a few strands were wet and stuck to his face by the rain. The armor on his body was not removed, and some suspicious dark black marks were all over it, not his blood but other people's blood. All in all, he was embarrassed.

He must have been defeated, driven out of Xijing City, and had to flee for his life somewhere. Xia Ruixi wanted to laugh a little, but in the end she didn't laugh - he took her with him when he ran for his life, what would she do?

Jin Xia relieved herself, pushed Xiaozhu away, and stepped forward to help Xia Ruixi get out of the car. Zhao Mingtao's hand crossed over her head, grabbed Xia Ruixi's little arm, and half-dragged Xia Ruixi off the carriage.

Approaching him, a strong smell of sweat mixed with leather, and the smell of blood rushed into Xia Ruixi's nasal cavity, irritating her to sneeze loudly. She didn't care, and looked around looking for traces of Ou Xinshe and Cui Yuan. The most afraid is that people are tired to death, and they will kill these two people in their horns and throw their bodies into the wilderness, how can she explain to the Wu family?

No one was found, but she could see her surroundings clearly.

A ruined temple, a few dilapidated houses, surrounded by horse-drawn carriages and people. Everyone's faces were tense and the atmosphere was depressing. The carriage is full of big black boxes, and I don't know what to hold? Xia Ruixi subconsciously guessed that it was either gold or silver, and it was something valuable anyway. Maybe most of it is from their Xia family.

"Look at what? Hurry up, the rain is drenching your clothes. Zhao Mingtao snorted coldly.

"I'm looking at someone, I'm blind, I have to follow you." Before she finished speaking, Xia Ruixi felt the arms around her waist suddenly tighten, and she closed her mouth in recognition. Zhao Mingtao carried her in the crook of his arm, half-dragging and half-dragging into a small empty dilapidated house.

The small dilapidated house has no household goods, an old wooden table, three or four wooden stools, a jar of wine, two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks and a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

Xia Ruixi had just been pressed hard by Zhao Mingtao to sit on the wooden bench, and a sharp eye flying knife and a fierce scolding floated from the corner: "Phew! Shameless slut! An adulterer and an adulteress shall not die well! ”

When Xia Ruixi heard the prestige, there was a woman with her hands tied, her face pale, and her eyes sunken on the haystack in the corner, which was none other than Princess Rong.

Rong looked straight at Xia Ruixi: "I recognize which one you are!" You are Ou Qingjin's wife and the sister of the fox! Prostitute, the two sisters don't have a good thing! Shameless, if I were Ou Qingjin, I would definitely burn you to death to relieve my hatred! ”

Being scolded by a genuine wife for being an adulterer and adulteress, this taste is still a taste. Xia Ruixi touched his head, it was also a crime to be forcibly kidnapped? Although Rong was not jealous, but to vent his anger, these words were always too ugly.

If people who don't know hear it, they will definitely think that she is not serious and has a leg with Zhao Mingtao. If Ou Qingjin heard it, would he be angry? Xia Ruixi felt that he was quite optimistic, and he could still consider the issue of reputation at this time.

Seeing that Xia Ruixi ignored it, Rong Shi came out with another long list of curses. Zhao Mingtao frowned, casually picked up a broken stool next to him and smashed it at Rong's head, Rong's hurriedly turned his head over, and the broken stool smashed on the earthen wall, smashing down a few lumps and pieces, and pounced on her face full of ash.

Hearing the noise, someone immediately came in and randomly found something and stuffed it into Rong's mouth.

Rong snorted, kicked his legs wildly, and stared at Zhao Mingtao and Xia Ruixi with self-hatred, his expression as if they were a pair of dog men and women, who were seen when they hooked up, and were killing people to ensure that adultery would not leak out.

Rong's strength is not small, and he kicked out with one kick, and actually kicked people into a ghost.

Zhao Mingtao became impatient: "If she wants to get drenched in the rain, she will be dragged out and stuffed under the eaves!" It's annoying to look at! She's going to be dishonest and break her hamstrings! ”

Rong immediately stopped making trouble.

The strong woman who was kicked and screamed by the Rong family just now had a chance to take revenge. Grabbing Rong's hands tied behind him, he dragged her out like that, leaving a mess on the dusty ground.

Rong's arm was stretched painfully, tears of humiliation fell down, his eyes widened, he glared at Zhao Mingtao and Xia Ruixi viciously, and slashed the two of them by 3,300 knives with his gaze.

One by one, I couldn't help but sigh, thanks to the fact that she was not a real adulteress, otherwise she would really be unable to get over her conscience if she was stared at like this by other people's wives. If she guessed correctly, the reason why the Rong family was brought here may be a talisman or a bargaining chip for Zhao Mingtao.

Looking at her status, Rong is not a concubine, she is not favored, her life and death are only in the thoughts of men, and her most likely outcome is to become a miserable victim and be ignored by gorgeous beauty, and then sacrificed.

Xia Ruixi thought that if she was in Rong's point of view, she would definitely not anger Zhao Mingtao at this time. It's better to die than to live, even if you try to find a way to keep your head down. Misfortune is not an excuse for self-defeat, and even if you can't fight your fate, you can try to make the process gentle.

Princess Ranrong's bones are obviously extremely hard, and they have reached this point, and she can still fight against Zhao Mingtao so self-improvement and fight to the end. It's not her fault that she's brave, but she shouldn't climb and bite people indiscriminately, so Xia Ruixi is exempted from the formalities of interceding for her.

Jin Xia and Xiaozhu cowered at the door, wanting to follow up but not daring to come in, wanting to find a random place to squat outside, they were even more afraid. Just now, it was only a few dozen steps from the car to the house, and her and Xiaozhu's faces had been touched no less than ten times.

"Come in." Xia Ruixi didn't look at Zhao Mingtao's face, opened the lotus leaf casually, unceremoniously tore off half of the roast chicken, walked up to the two, handed it to Jin Xia, and pointed to the haystack where the Rong family had just stayed, "Just rest there." ”

Jin Xia took the roast chicken and said softly: "The slave maid just saw the eldest young master and Steward Cui being escorted and squatting in the rain in the field. She always remembered Ou Xinshe's goodness, thinking that she had food and a place to hide from the rain, so she wanted Xia Ruixi to stretch out her hand, bend over, and ask for some benefits for Ou Xinshe.

Xia Ruixi didn't squeak. What's the point of being hungry in a little rain? It's best to be alive. Do you want to intercede with Zhao Mingtao? There's no need to waste that spirit. His own people are still raining outside, will he be willing to let the men of the Ou family come in and enjoy the blessings? It doesn't make sense.

"If you scream again, let them get out!" Zhao Mingtao slapped the mud of the wine jar with a calm face, poured wine into the two bowls, and shouted to Xia Ruixi: "Come and drink." ”

Jin Xia's face suddenly turned pale, and she silently pulled Xiaozhu into the corner, not daring to squeak again.

Xia Ruixi shook his head: "I have a stomachache and I don't want to drink." ”

Zhao Mingtao glanced at her suspiciously, and asked slowly, "Where do you hurt?" I see you're in good spirits. ”

Xia Ruixi took out a handkerchief and sighed while wiping his hands: "It's not my coachman who drives the car, and it's not that the pain is dying, so naturally you have to endure it." The carriage was so bumpy that probably the intestines were knotted. ”

It's about her analogy that is too funny, Zhao Mingtao's gloomy face showed a faint smile, he drank the wine in the bowl himself, and tore the chicken with his hands: "Don't you eat it?" In the past, there was only dry food and water for dozens of miles. ”

"Where is this going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"It's also a burden to take them, why don't you let them go?"

"Throw them here to feed the wolves? Good idea! ”

"Let's leave Ou Xinshe and Cui Yuan behind, anyway, your matter has been revealed, and it's useless to take them with you. It is not cost-effective to waste your wagons and food, and to distract yourself from looking after them. ”

Zhao Mingtao sneered: "When it's time to put it, I'll naturally release it!" Do you eat or not? If I don't eat it, I'll eat it all. ”

Xia Ruixi hurriedly snatched a chicken thigh from his hand. If you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost.

Zhao Mingtao snatched the silk handkerchief from her hand, wiped his hands, and walked out slowly. Xia Ruixi pricked up his ears and heard him ask Li Yue outside: "Are people here?" ”
