Chapter 7 Who Are You?
The gongs and drums are noisy, and the red makeup is added.
When I was a child, the foreign house was not in the night, the bright lights were hung high, and there was a drama of "babbling" everywhere, and I was tied to the sedan chair, swaying and not knowing where to go.
I was bound hand and foot, unable to move, so I had to turn my head and look through the gap under the curtain to see with difficulty.
Wherever the sedan chair passes, lanterns are hung high like a guide, and the road is red, which is extremely weird.
I struggled uneasily, but the squire who tied the rope had a dead hand, and I had no chance of breaking free.
What to do, what should I do.
I shouted Liu Yuanwan's name in my heart, and tears almost fell.
He's going to come to my rescue.
I can only comfort myself like this, and there is nothing else I can do at this time.
Just as he was thinking, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
My heart trembled, and the curtain of the sedan in front of me was lifted, revealing the squire's face, who untied the ropes from my feet, and dragged me out of the car, and before I could stand firm, he drove me forward.
Before I could recover my sore legs, I was shoved and stumbled, and when the people behind me left, I found myself in a room with only one candle lit.
The candle flame flickered, and I turned around in a panic, only to see the squire's smiling expression behind the door.
The door was locked, and the room was eerily quiet, and I stood still, not daring to move.
Because of this, I had no intention of catching a glimpse of a person sitting next to the candle flame.
It's just that the room is dim, and I can't see his face clearly.
But I knew in my heart that this was the ...... The king is out.
With a chill down my spine, we confronted each other in such a vague manner that I turned around sharply and opened my eyes wide in horror the next second.
By the light of the candle, I saw a very strange scene.
The man in the wedding dress got up slowly, his coat slipping off, he moved, stretched out his dry hand and pulled it, and then staggered towards me, with a strange smile on his face, and his cloudy eyes rolled, and his gaze was always on me.
I looked at his sleazed sallow cheeks and retreated with trembling steps.
What kind of man is this...... This is clearly a puppet!
At first glance, he approached me step by step with grinning eyes as if he had just crawled out of a coffin.
Oh my God!
I couldn't help but scream, but there was no way back.
Why do they still scramble for people who look like this, and come to serve?
Seeing that his dry fingers were about to touch my cheek, I closed my eyes in resignation, but the door behind me was suddenly opened, and my body clinging to the door was unstable, and I fell into the arms of the comer.
The moment the sword pierced into the outer chest of the king, a broad palm gently covered my eyes.
"Don't be afraid."
It's Liu Yuanwan.
I shuddered, tears streaming down my cheeks, and looked up to meet a pair of red-eyed eyes.
He gasped for breath, as if he had just arrived.
The big stone in my heart fell, and I pulled his sleeve and breathed a long sigh of relief.
You're here, you're finally here.
There was a commotion in my ears, and I turned my head, just in time to see Yang Yi appear with a sword.
He frowned tightly and said quickly: "Lord Wang, someone is coming, go quickly." ”
Liu Yuanwan nodded, wanting to take my hand, but after finding that my palm was cold, he paused, and said comfortingly:
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
With tears in my eyes, I watched him say nothing, and let him walk out quickly.
Suddenly remembering something, I looked back at the corpse of Wang Yuanwai lying in a pool of blood behind me, frowned and worried:
"They also tied up a lot of young women."
If the women who were tied to the wooden frame could not be rescued in time, I am afraid that it would not be long before they would lose their blood and die.
How cruel it is, and how innocent they are.
"It's okay, wait a moment, someone will help them out," he paused, "and the first thing to do is to get you out safely first." “
I looked at his tense face, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw that there were many attendants not far away.
I was shocked, and before I could react, I was protected by Liu Yuan. Watching him follow Yang Yi's sword to meet him, I stood in place, anxious, but there was nothing I could do.
Fortunately, the two of them were strong in martial arts, and within a moment, they broke through the encirclement.
Liu Yuanwan stepped forward and wanted to reach out to pull me, but he caught a glimpse of the blood stains on his hands, and he paused, as if he was afraid that I would dislike it, and when he hesitated to take it back, I hurriedly took his hand and smiled at him.
Liu Yuan's eyebrows drooped slightly.
Before he could take a step, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, as if a lot of people were rushing in.
I subconsciously looked at Liu Yuanwan and saw him holding a sword, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was extremely tired. I subconsciously stepped forward and stood in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the people who came turned out to be a group of fast catchers.
After a leader recognized Liu Yuanwan, he put away his sword, and then stepped forward and saluted:
"Lord Wang."
After saluting, the catchers dispersed around us under the orders of the chief, and within a few moments they occupied the entire Yuanwai Mansion.
I was wondering when I looked up and saw a man in official attire walking out of the line at the end of the line.
His appearance was white and pure, his expression was peaceful, his eyes swept over my body, and finally stopped at Liu Yuanwan's body, he paused, and said:
"The lower official is late, please don't blame the prince."
Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "Brother Song is serious. ”
Brother Song?
I looked at Liu Yuanwan suspiciously, but saw him smile and said, "If Brother Song hadn't arrived in time, I might have died under the knife of those men in black." “
As he spoke, he pulled me up.
"The rest will be handed over to Brother Song. My wife was frightened, so I quit first. ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Song Kexing's mouth, making a gesture to say goodbye.
Liu Yuanwan stopped talking nonsense, threw the sword to Yang Yi, and pulled me out after bowing his head.
When I turned around, I saw that he had stopped stopping, and had taken a step towards the depths of the Yuanwai Mansion.
"Liu Yuanwan, what's going on with all this?"
He took my palm tightly, was silent for a moment, and then stopped hiding it.
"After I saw the note, I rushed to the inn according to the above guidance, and before I entered the door, I realized that something was wrong, and then I and Yang Yi decided to abandon the main entrance, and sneaked in through the window of the guest room under the cover of night."
"This inn is really unusual. We found the trapped woman, promised to save her, and decided to go back to the house first, find reinforcements, and then return to the inn to save people. But when we got back to the carriage, we didn't see you, and I didn't think well, that you must have followed us into the inn. ”
Don't see me? So he knows...... I went too?
"I asked Yang Yi to go to Song ...... first."
I pursed my lips and interrupted him, "So you, know I'm in the carriage, right?"
Liu Yuan paused, nodded and admitted, "Yes." ”
He knows! So why is he still ......?
I froze for a moment.
yes, I should have thought of it.
It was clear that the carriage was empty, but he sat outside uncharacteristically. So at that time, his cheek was turned away, not accidentally, but sensed my gaze, and looked at me quietly with his peripheral vision.
I raised my eyes to meet his complicated expression.
My heart moved, and I was about to say something, but I caught a glimpse of a group of familiar figures suddenly surging around the corner.
I stared at it, my eyes widening.
It's the men in black in the inn!
Why are they again, why are they so haunted?
Yang Yi's voice came from his ears: "Quick!" Get on the carriage! ”
I didn't have time to think about it, and I was pulled into the carriage parked in front of me by Liu Yuan.
"Sit down! Drive! “
Yang Yi's voice came, and in the next second, the horse let out a long roar, and the carriage rushed towards the men in black at an extremely fast speed.
They didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and subconsciously scattered.
It all happened so fast that I sat down and realized that there was someone else in the carriage.
It's a woman in blue.
She was emaciated, her face haggard, and she had a beautiful face, and she looked gray, tugging at her sleeves, and met my gaze with anxiety.
"Thank you."
A familiar voice sounded in my ears, and I knew that she was the woman in the inn.
"I'll say thank you later." I lifted the curtain, glanced at the man in black who had caught up again behind the carriage, and said with sorrow:
"Find a way to get rid of those monsters first."
They were extremely fast, ghostly and sometimes hidden in the night, always following the carriage not far behind.
"So what's going on with this Wang Yuanwai?" I couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yuanwan didn't say a word, only heard Yang Yi's voice coming.
"That royal officer is old and decrepit, frail and sickly, but he is still greedy for beauty and lascivious. It is rumored that he listened to the Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes, kidnapped many young women, and used their blood to make medicines, hoping to ensure his immortality. Song Shilang has always wanted to arrest him, but because there is no evidence, and he has the support of high-ranking officials behind him, he can only find his flaws, but to no avail. And the abduction of Mrs. Song this time gave Song Shilang a great opportunity. ”
I see.
"Not good."
Liu Yuanwan, who had not spoken all the time, said in a low voice, I hurriedly opened the curtain and looked, but I didn't see them.
"What about people?" I wondered.
"They're catching up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Yang Yi's low voice came from outside the car: "Lord Wang, there is no road." “
Suddenly the mountain wind blew up, the curtain was blown up, and by the moonlight, I could see clearly ahead - it was a cliff.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the carriage, and I knew that we had no way to escape.
"What should I do now?" Yang Yi asked.
Liu Yuan held his sword and was silent, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"They're going to arrest me." The woman beside her suddenly trembled, "Hand me over, and they won't hurt you." ”
As she spoke, she got up and wanted to get out of the car, but was stopped by Yang Yi outside the carriage.
"Girl......"
She smiled slightly, brushing away his blocking hand, but I pulled at the sleeve of her shirt and left behind.
I hurriedly said, "Do you know what will happen if you are caught?" ”
Those are all inhumane animals, without a king, there will be Li Yuanwai'Zhang Yuanwai, if she is captured by them today, there is no doubt, it will be a death.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
Liu Yuan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Their purpose is not just you, but all of us."
He paused, raised his eyes to look at her for a while, squinted and said:
"Who the hell are you?"
