Chapter Twenty-Eight: Survival in Peril
The mountain behind Bodhi Temple is full of tall trees, and at this time, the autumn breeze is bleak and the leaves are flying, which is also a rare beauty.
Wen Jin and Yun Jin walked in front, and Zhu Ye and Zijuan followed behind.
In the depths of the maple forest, Wen Jin couldn't help but stop and watch. Yun Jin was puzzled, "Eldest sister, why don't you leave?" ”
Wen Jin smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't leave?" ”
Yun Jin was surprised, only to hear in the maple forest, the wind did not rise, and the branches of the trees rattled.
In the blink of an eye, several black-clothed people fell in front of Wen Jin and Yun Jin.
Yun Jin's pupils shrank, and he took a few steps back and almost fell, but fortunately, Zijuan helped him behind him.
On the other hand, Wen Jin only stood there quietly, and the bamboo leaves had already stepped forward to protect each other.
"Who's coming?" Wen Jin shouted loudly.
The leader of the men in black laughed and said, "The king of the mountain, you are Miss Xiangfu?" It's a bit of guts! It's better to go back to the mountain with your grandfather and be a lady of the village, and I will spare your life. The man in black said.
Wen Jin's face was already flushed with anger when he heard this, "Since you are the king of the mountain, you should only seek wealth and not trouble, how can you speak so wildly?" ”
"Whose command have you been given to take my life?"
The leader of the men in black didn't expect a boudoir lady to have the ability to think calmly in such a situation.
"I'm underestimating you, even if you guess, because you're going to die." As the man in black said this, the tone in his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only a fierce color.
Zhu Ye had already taken a few steps back with Wen Jin, and whispered, "Miss, you just run back, don't look back, the slave and maid will come to block them." ”
"There are so many of them that you won't be able to make a few moves." Wen Jin said sharply.
The men in black didn't wait for them to react, they all rushed over, and Wen Jin saw the situation and yelled at Yun Jin, "Run separately." ”
Yun Jin and Zijuan supported each other and stumbled to the side. Bamboo leaves fought with the man in black.
Wen Jin ran forward desperately, because only if she escaped, Zhuye could escape from the clutches of the man in black without distraction.
Those black-clothed people didn't chase after Yun Jin, and rushed to Wen Jin's side. Wen Jin took out a dagger from his cloth boots as he ran.
Zhu Ye was outnumbered, and soon a man in black came to Wen Jin. Seeing Wen Jin's appearance as a weak lady, the man in black relaxed his vigilance and said with a cohesive smile, "Beauty, I see where you are going." ”
The man in black approached step by step, Wen Jin clenched the dagger in his hand, and between the lightning and flint, the dagger hit the heart of the man in black.
Before the man in black could react, Wen Jin had already run out a few steps. The bushes under his feet were overgrown, and Wen Jin fell down at the moment of life and death.
Du Ruo's fragrance of flowers emerged, Wen Jin raised his eyes, and tears were in his eyes, "Yuan Xi ......"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." After Han Yuanxi comforted him, he joined the battle with the two little guys beside him.
A quarter of an hour later, the maple grove had regained its calm. The two servants held a man in black tightly for verification.
"Zhuye, you go to the third miss and lead the third miss to the carriage to meet." Wen Jin commanded.
"Yes." Bamboo leaves answered.
Wen Jin looked at Han Yuanxi again and smiled gratefully, "Brother Yuanxi, this time it's really thanks to you." ”
Han Yuanxi smiled worriedly, "Now that you have just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone wants to take your life, so how can I go to the southeast border with peace of mind." ”
"You're going to the southeast?"
"Well, it was supposed to be this month. But now I've changed my mind. ”
"When you settle down in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'll set off again! Otherwise, even if I go to the southeast, I won't be able to settle down. ”
"Yuan Xi ......"
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind."
The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion stopped at the foot of the mountain, and when Wen Jin was escorted down by Han Yuanxi, Yun Jin was already standing beside the carriage with an embarrassed face.
On the other hand, Yujin is well-dressed, and his eyes are full of unwillingness.
Han Yuanxi said softly, "This man in black was escorted to the Prime Minister's Mansion by me, so you can go back to the mansion with peace of mind." ”
This was said to Wen Jin, but it was Yu Jinying, "I'm impatient with Han Shizi, since the gangsters have been kidnapped, let's take them back by the Xiangfu guards!" ”
Wen Jin opened his mouth and said, "Sister's words are inappropriate, today it was Han Shizi who rescued me and the third sister, or Han Shizi escorted people back." ”
Yujin was still unwilling, "What my sister said is that my sister just doesn't want to bother Han Shizi." ”
Wen Jin said coldly, "My life and that of my third sister were saved by Han Shizi, so why should I care about this trouble now?" The gangsters are important, in order to ensure that it is appropriate, it is better to be sent by Han Shizi. ”
Wen Jin said and saluted Han Yuanxi politely, "Thank you Han Shizi for saving me, now I will have to work with Han Shizi." ”
Yun Jin also stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you Han Shizi for saving me." ”
Yujin also saluted and said, "There is the son of Lao Han." ”
"The three young ladies don't have to be polite, it's important to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible." Han Yuanxi said gently.
Yujin raised his eyes, and the unwillingness and anger in his eyes had turned into tenderness.
The vermilion door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was open, and Wen Jin was puzzled, not knowing what kind of guest the Prime Minister's Mansion was coming.
As soon as he landed on the carriage, someone from the house immediately greeted him.
Qiu Ju smiled, "The young ladies are back, what about the Gao family coming to give gifts?" ”
"Someone from the Gao family is here?" Yujin was the first to speak in surprise.
Qiu Ju nodded, noncommittal.
Wen Jin showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and instructed Qiu Ju, "Go back to the old lady, just say that I have something important to return, and Han Shizi is also here." ”
Qiu Ju saw that Wen Jin's face was serious, and she knew that there was something important, so she walked cautiously to the house.
Wen Jin asked people to lead Han Shizi and escort the gangsters to the mansion.
Yun Jinyun followed lightly, but Yu Jin was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Everyone went straight to the front hall, and when they arrived at the door of the front hall, Wen Jin signaled Han Yuanxi to take the gangsters outside.
Now that there are outsiders in the house, it is inevitable to lose the etiquette to rush people in.
In the hall, the three young ladies saluted in unison, "Meet grandmother, meet father." ”
Han Yuanxi also stepped forward and said, "Meet the old lady, meet the master." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "It turned out to be Han Shizi, why do you have time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to sit now?" ”
Han Yuanxi arched his hand and said, "The junior escorted Miss Xiangfu back from Bodhi Temple." ”
The old lady was still smiling, "Okay, good, good, Sister Wen, why don't you hurry up and lead your sisters to meet your cousin and cousin?" ”
Wen Jin hurriedly saluted and said, "Wen Jin will meet his cousin, and he will meet his cousin." He did not salute his cousin and aunt in time, and asked for forgiveness. ”
Yun Jin and Yu Jin also saluted their uncles and aunts of the Gao family in the same way.
Han Yuanxi still greeted him.
The uncle of the Gao family is the cousin of Gao Mingyue, the future stepwife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this time he came for the friendship between relatives.
But if the discord of the Prime Minister's Mansion is exposed now, I don't know what they will think? After all, the girls of their Gao family will live in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Jin still didn't speak hastily after all. After all, in the eyes of the old lady, she has always attached the most importance to "family ugliness should not be publicized".
Between a few words of greeting, a noisy voice sounded outside, "Be honest, if you dare to use your brains again, your legs will be broken!" ”
The old lady frowned and asked, "What's so noisy outside?" ”
Han Yuanxi hurriedly pleaded for sin, "Please forgive the old lady, it was the little guy brought by the younger generation who didn't know the etiquette, and he actually made a noise outside the hall." ”
The old lady asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" The old lady knew that the little guy in the Zhenguo Mansion should not be so rude.
Wen Jin hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Now my granddaughter doesn't hide it from my grandmother, I went to Bodhi Temple to incense today, and when I fetched spring water in the back mountain, my third sister and I were almost killed by gangsters, if it wasn't for Han Shizi's rescue, my granddaughter wouldn't have been able to come back alive." ”
Wen Jin said this, and actually choked up and cried. Yun Jin also cried with Boo.
Xiangye directly got angry and said, "Who dares to assassinate Miss Xiangfu?" ”
Han Yuanxi clenched his fists and said, "The younger generation left the gangster alive, and now he has let the little guy in, please review it." ”
"If it's not early today, the juniors will retire first."
Han Yuanxi advanced and retreated in a certain way, although he escorted the gangsters to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not interfere in the interrogation, but made the Xiang Ye look at him differently.
"Nephew Han, let's go back first! Another day, my uncle will prepare a gift and send someone to thank him. ”
"Xiangye is polite, Yuan Xi doesn't dare to be."
Xiangye waved his hand and said, "You saved the two daughters of my Prime Minister's Mansion, this great favor, my Prime Minister will never forget each other." It's not early, nephew go home first! ”
"Yes, Yuan Xi retired."
When Han Yuanxi left, he naturally took his little servant away. At this time, the gangster was being gagged and pressed outside the hall.
Xiangye didn't rush to interrogate, but said with a smile to the people of the Gao family, "Let my cousin laugh." ”
The people of the Gao family also knew how to be measured, and stood up casually, "It's been a long time, and my wife and I should also return home." Retirement. ”
When Xiang Ye heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to send him, and the old lady also ordered someone to send a lot of gifts.
Everything was dealt with, and Xiangye ordered someone to escort the gangster in. The old lady just watched coldly.
In fact, there is no need to interrogate, the old lady and Xiangye can also guess one or two. After all, Wen Jin's previous words were clear. The gangster only went towards Wen Jin and Yun Jin, without mentioning Yu Jin at all.
Xiang Ye did not interrogate in detail, but only sent someone to beat the gangster into a bloody blur before throwing him in the courtyard for trial.
Before the trial was tried, the gangster had already swallowed his breath.
Xiangye casually instructed the family to send the gangster to the yamen. The matter will not be mentioned here.
Wen Jin and Yun Jin looked at each other coldly, a little chilling, but they didn't say a word.
The old lady glanced at Wen Jin with distress on her face, and only let people reward Wen Jin and Yun Jin with a lot of things, and then returned to Chunrong Hall.
Nuan Wen Pavilion, Wen Jin leaned on the chaise longue and did not fall asleep early. She was waiting for the summons of the prime minister.
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, Xia He, the eldest girl beside Xiangye, came to talk back and forth, saying that Xiangye invited the eldest lady to go to the study.
