Chapter 66: The sky makes people fall into the hands of bandits
Hearing the guard's report, the hall suddenly became chaotic.
Han Yue was tightly grasped by Sikong Yanfei's wrist and pulled to her side, avoiding the handmaidens and subordinates around her.
"Wing." Mrs. Ziqing put down the wine bottle in her hand and called.
"The subordinates are here."
Lady Ziqing took off the jade pendant representing her identity from her waist and handed it to Yi, "Pass my order...... The city gate is forbidden to enter and exit, and the soldiers who protect the city are mobilized! ”
"Yes." Tsubasa knelt on one knee and respectfully took the jade pendant with both hands.
"Where is Ah Yue?" Mrs. Ziqing asked loudly.
"In!" Han Yue hurriedly broke away from Sikong Yan's hand and came to Mrs. Ziqing.
"Is the iron arrow you oversaw in place?"
Han Yue gathered her mind and said, "Time is in a hurry, but more than eight hundred have been produced. ”
Mrs. Ziqing nodded, "I'll send someone to fetch all of them with you." ”
"Yes."
Mrs. Ziqing summoned four guards and accompanied Han Yue out of the main hall.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear Sikong Yanfei calling her, but at this time the hall was already in chaos, and the guests who came to the banquet heard that bandits had been found outside the city, and they all said goodbye and left.
Inside and outside the hall were all in a panic, and everyone was in a hurry.
Han Yue glanced back and saw nothing.
When I came to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, the night wind blew, carrying the smell of thick smoke.
"On fire?" Han Yue looked up and saw billowing pillars of smoke coming out of several locations in the city, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Bandits have snuck into the city." The guard explained, "Ah Yue, go quickly! ”
Hanyue didn't dare to stay, got into the carriage, and went to the blacksmith shop under the protection of the guards.
Mrs. Ziqing then sent a carriage over and carried away all the 800 iron arrows.
There were fires in several places in the city, and one of them looked like it was a little close to where Hanyue lived.
She became more and more worried about Chidi and Ah Chun.
Seeing that all the iron arrows had been carried away, Hanyue hurried back.
Halfway through the carriage, he heard a woman's screams coming from the street in front of him.
"The bandit was found in front and is being arrested, Ah Yue will change his route." The escort road of the ambulance.
Hanyue nodded.
The diversion was bound to go far, but in this chaotic time, she didn't want to take any risks.
The carriage drove into the narrow street, followed by another carriage from behind.
"Ah Yue!" Ming Lu leaned out from behind the curtain and shouted urgently.
Han Yue was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
"There are bandits who have come into the city, and I heard that they are near your residence, so you should not go back."
Han Yue "chuckled" in her heart, but she soon thought that Chi Di was also at home, and her nervousness dissipated a little.
"Ah Yue can't go back, you avoid it first, and it's not too late to leave after the city is calmed!" Minglu persuaded, "My residence is quite safe, if Ah Yue doesn't dislike it, please come with me, I will send someone to your residence to investigate......"
As Ming Lu spoke, there was another fight on the side of the street, and although it was impossible to see who was on both sides, the screams that came from time to time at that time made people feel chills in their backs.
Han Yue hesitated, and the four guards of the escort said, "It's better to avoid it." ”
They were ordered by Mrs. Ziqing to protect her, and they didn't want to make any more mistakes at this time.
Han Yue secretly thought in her heart: There were people from Mrs. Ziqing by her side, and she didn't dare to do anything to her.
So he nodded.
The two carriages headed towards Minglu's residence.
The door was closed, but it couldn't stop the noise that came from time to time outside the door.
From time to time, the soldiers defending the city walked through the streets, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts was all mixed together.
Han Yue stepped into the courtyard.
All the people in Minglu were guarded in the courtyard, so there was no one in the backyard, and even the servants didn't know where to hide.
She heard Ming Lu outside ordering his subordinates to find an opportunity to go out to find out the news of Chidi and the others.
She stood quietly for a while, and in a trance, she seemed to be back in her previous life, with chaos and disputes among the princes.
In this troubled world, there is no place for people like her to live.
Hoping that the mistakes of the past would not be repeated in this life, she secretly prayed.
Suddenly, she heard someone outside the door shouting, "What man! ”
There was the sound of footsteps behind her, and she turned back to see a figure attacking.
She felt a sharp pain in her neck, and then she fainted.
The shimmer of the morning shone down and fell on Hanyue's eyelashes.
She slowly opened her eyes, avoiding the glare of the morning light.
The neighing of horses could be heard all around, and the air was filled with the smell of burning firewood, which was somewhat choking.
She wanted to pretend to be asleep and take the opportunity to look around, but she didn't expect someone to sit next to her.
"Lingxin woke up?"
She shuddered slightly, opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes were full of confusion, like a small beast caught by a hunter, and her pitiful appearance would pity anyone who saw it.
The man laughed, "Gu Lingxin, when did your guts become so small." ”
Han Yue looked at the person sitting beside her in confusion.
The man was leaning against the unloaded harness, playing with the dagger in his hand, and looked at his face...... Han Yue was completely stunned.
This face is no stranger to her.
She had also seen this person at Mrs. Ziqing's banquet.
"Chengwu?"
The corners of Cheng Wu's mouth raised, revealing a big smile, "Gu Lingxin, we meet again." ”
Han Yue looked left and right, "You...... Are you talking to me? ”
"Or what do you think?" Cheng Wu sneered, but his eyes fell on her face without blinking.
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Hanyue sat up, "I'm Hanyue." ”
But...... The name Lingxin seems somewhat familiar.
Where had she heard it?
Cheng Wu looked her up and down, "Gu Lingxin, do you really think that if you let out the news that you are dead, others will believe it?" ”
Han Yue tilted her head and looked at Cheng Wu aggrievedly, "I'm really not the person you said, I'm Han Yue, and I used to be the maid of the Yichang Marquis Mansion...... I don't know what you're talking about...... Did you capture me to kill me...... "As he spoke, he hid his face and began to weep.
This time it was Cheng Wu's turn to be stunned.
He looked at her warily, as if trying to see a flaw in her.
But Hanyue's tears are real.
This skill of crying is her strong point.
The more she cried, the louder she became, only frowning at Cheng Wu's crying.
"Enough!"
Hanyue didn't listen to him, and then cried.
A man's laughter could be heard not far away.
"Head...... There are so many beauties in Qingcheng, what are you doing so hard just to catch such a crybaby? ”
"Shut up!" Cheng Wu scolded.
There was another burst of laughter in the distance.
Hanyue was crying, but she was looking around with the corner of her eyes.
If her guess is right, now that she has left Qingcheng and become a martial artist, these people are the bandits in the mouth of Mrs. Ziqing.
Unexpectedly, the leader of these bandits turned out to be Cheng Wu, and he even went to the City Lord's Mansion in a grand manner.
Now that she has seen Chengwu's true face, the chance of returning to Qingcheng alive can be called very small.
It's really a fool of the sky, she just had hope of getting rid of that lowly identity, and fell into the hands of bandits.
