Chapter 42: Taken hostage

The rumor that Concubine Yun could not give birth to children was also known to the Queen Mother for a long time, but now that she heard Concubine Yun admit it to her face, she didn't feel good in her heart, there were many concubines in the emperor's harem, and what she liked and valued the most was Concubine Yun, but she couldn't have another child.

Because of the queen's trouble and Concubine Yun's inability to have children, the queen mother was depressed, so she let Lin Shuran and Concubine Yun go out first.

Out of Renshou Palace, Concubine Yun wanted Lin Shuran to sit in her Shuyun Palace, after all, it was rare for the two sisters to see each other, and she hadn't talked to her family for a long time.

Lin Shuran nodded and agreed, so the two sisters went to Concubine Yun's Shuyun Palace to talk about homely things, but Concubine Yun didn't stay with Lin Shuran for too long, she knew that today was the palace where Xu Junze and Lin Shuran entered together, and the queen must have gone to the emperor to make trouble, so Xu Junze couldn't stay with the emperor for too long, although she was reluctant, she still let Lin Shuran go.

"Sister, don't worry, everything is fine with my father and family, if I have the opportunity in the future, my sister will come to see you again!" Before leaving, Lin Shuran gently held the hand of his sister Concubine Yun and said.

Concubine Yun nodded tearfully, she couldn't help herself when she entered the palace, she couldn't do her filial piety in front of her parents in this life.

Gong E led Lin Shuran out of Shuyun Palace, and then changed to a eunuch on duty and led her all the way to see Xu Junze, who had been waiting for her for a long time, and then the husband and wife left the palace.

On the way out of the palace, Xu Junze didn't speak as he did when he came, and his steps were very slow, and Lin Shuran was just able to keep up with him.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Shuran secretly glanced at Xu Junze a few times, as if he didn't know whether to speak or not.

Seeing her embarrassed, Xu Junze took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

"What does the Queen Mother like?" After asking, Lin Shuran told Xu Junze what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace, thinking that he should still prepare a gift for the Empress Dowager.

"The Queen Mother likes to be quiet, and in her spare time, she will take care of some flowers and plants, and she doesn't have anything special to like." Xu Junze told Lin Shuran what he knew, the Queen Mother has always been kind, and Lin Shuran's temperament is what she likes.

Lin Shuran's face was happy, she usually loves to play with flowers and plants, in the three years that she came to this time and space, she built a small garden in the Grange, which is full of flowers and trees that she carefully cultivated, but now it is the harsh winter season, and the plum blossoms in the garden are camellias, pansies and crane orchids, and she went to the Grange to personally select the best one to send to the Queen Mother.

The carriage was walking in the downtown area, and suddenly there was a commotion in front of the crowd, and a man with a beard and a fierce face ran forward, and behind him were two officials in criminal uniforms who were chasing him.

The people on the street were frightened and fled around, and the carriage in the middle had to stop, Xu Junze frowned and opened the carriage curtain, and then one flew out and kicked the fleeing man to the ground, at this time the chasing official also came, one stepped forward to hold the man who wanted to run away, and the other walked to Xu Junze and saluted respectfully, and thanked: "Thank you for the help!" ”

"What's going on?" Xu Junze glanced at the man who was still struggling and glaring at him on the ground who was being pressed by the official messenger, and asked the official in front of him.

"This person is the head of the thief who specializes in stealing things in the city, and the lowly rank has been staring at him for several days, just now he noticed that he wanted to escape, so he chased after him, I didn't expect this person to be able to do some fist and foot kung fu, running faster than a rabbit, if it wasn't for the general's shot, he might have let him run!" The person who spoke happened to know Xu Junze and had always admired him, and this time he was also sincerely grateful to Xu Junze, this person was an important prisoner that Xiao Chen wanted to arrest, if they really ran away, they would definitely be punished when they went back.

A few people were talking, and the pedestrians on both sides dared to gather around to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, a petite figure got into the carriage at a very fast speed, and then took out a dagger and put it on Lin Shuran's neck.

Because the person who came moved too fast, in the blink of an eye, Lin Shuran became someone else's hostage, and was forced to get off the carriage by the knife rack neck.

"Let my eldest brother go, or I'll kill her!" The person holding Lin Shuran hostage was a thin man with a goatee and triangular eyes, his voice was long, his height was slightly taller than Lin Shuran, and his eyes were staring fiercely in the direction where Xu Junze was.

Seeing that this person was holding Lin Shuran hostage, the bearded man who was pressed to the ground showed a light of hope in his eyes, and struggled fiercely, and the two officials also became nervous, and the woman who could get out of Xu Junze's car, that eight or nine is not far from ten is the long-rumored young daughter of Taifu in the capital, and now the general's wife.

Xu Junze's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and the goatee man's body trembled, but he seemed to be ruthless, and put the dagger in his hand closer to Lin Shuran's neck, the sharp dagger had already cut through her delicate skin, and the blood was quickly revealed in the next second, which frightened many onlookers to exclaim.

"Let my eldest brother go, or I'll really do it!" The goatee man shouted at Xu Junze in a bit of anger, but in the next second, "whoosh-whoosh-" The two sounds of breaking the air quickly remembered, and the goatee man screamed miserably and fell down with his eyes wide open.

I saw that the wrist of the dagger was pierced by the wings of a bamboo dragonfly, and the wings of a bamboo dragonfly were also deeply pierced in the center of his eyebrows, which shows that the martial arts cultivation of the person who killed him is extremely high, and many people present saw with their own eyes that the wings of these two bamboo dragonflies were thrown out by Xu Junze.

At this moment, the bamboo dragonfly vendor who was standing next to Xu Junze was also stupid, he didn't know when the bamboo dragonfly inserted on the shelf was touched by Xu Junze, and now it is also used as a killing weapon, can his bamboo dragonfly still be sold in the future? !

Lin Shuran looked straight at Xu Junze with her eyes open, she was not very panicked, although she was hijacked, her brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to escape, but she didn't prevent Xu Junze from making such a quick and ruthless move, and killed people in a blink of an eye.

This is the first time she has seen Xu Junze killing, he is like doing a very usual, natural and habitual thing, there is no wave in his eyes, but it is the first time she has encountered someone who has been killed in front of her so suddenly, her brain was blank for a moment, and then her body wanted to soften so uncontrollably, but Xu Junze held her body firmly in the next moment.

He thought that she must have been frightened, by this scene, and by himself, and the next moment he took her in his arms and got into the carriage, and told the coachman to hurry back to the house.

The pain in her neck made Lin Shuran wake up quickly, although she was bleeding a lot at this time, but it did not hurt the artery, and at this time, Xu Junze was covering the wound on her neck with his warm big hands.

Lin Shuran wanted to get up from Xu Junze's arms, but was pushed back by Xu Junze's tough attitude, his face was calm, and his tone was a little stern, but it made her feel a little nervous, he stared at her with deep eyes and said, "Don't move, the wound will crack!" ”
