Lanling City, formerly known as Anxi, is the largest and most prosperous city in the western part of Daqi, and is also a traffic artery connecting the east, west, north and south. Since the Xiao family of Lanling moved here three hundred years ago, it was renamed Lanling.

A month later, an inconspicuous caravan left Lanling Castle from the east gate and headed for Kyoto.

Inside the carriage, several women were talking.

"County Lord, you have already left Lanling City, why are you still so worried?" Chunxia asked while fanning her fan.

This caravan was pretended by Xiao Wenjun and others, Xiao Wenjun took the spring, summer, autumn and winter to ride a carriage, Wang Jiuyuan took He Hong and others to ride a horse, and several guards dressed as horsemen and coolies.

He Hong is extremely efficient, he has taken care of all the assets under Xiao Wenjun's name in a short period of time, and he has also developed a lot of contacts in Lanling, and he has already taken the prototype of the Shadow Pavilion.

Xiao Mansion is also under the management of Mama Zhao and Xiao Tao, open source and reduce expenditure, and the affairs of the warehouse have been completed.

Everything has been arranged, it's time to go to Kyoto and get married!

"Wenjun, how about coming out and riding a horse?" Wang Jiuyuan leaned over to the carriage and asked with concern.

In the past month, Wang Jiuyuan has seen that the already thin woman has lost a few points, and there is always a faint sadness on his face. Since the death of the old lady, she has been busy so far and has not taken a good breath.

"Okay." Xiao Wenjun's eyes at Wang Jiuyuan swallowed the words that he originally refused.

"Wenjun, the affairs of Lanling have been dealt with, you should take a good breath, don't be tired." Wang Jiuyuan turned over and dismounted, took the reins handed over by Ming Xiu, and arranged the saddle for the girl.

"You don't have to do these things yourself." Xiao Wenjun took the reins and also turned over on the horse.

"It's you, I do!" Wang Jiuyuan's eyes were clear and he smiled.

The girl was dazzled by this bright smile, and smiled slightly.

The two rode side by side in front, one red and one white, one with a peerless elegance and the other with a heroic posture.

Seeing that the girl's mood was a little better, Wang Jiuyuan continued: "Wenjun, this trip is far away, and it is very boring, how about our horse race? ”

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested.

"There is a post station a hundred miles ahead, who will we get there first?" Wang Jiuyuan raised his horsewhip and pointed forward.

"What's the jackpot?" The girl seems to have a chance to win.

"If you win, this bloody horse is yours. If I win...... Wang Jiuyuan's eyebrows were also dyed with a smile, and he said freely.

"I'll talk about it when you win......," the girl didn't finish, and when she flicked her whip, the horse was in pain, and galloped away, bringing up the dust.

Wang Jiuyuan shook his head with a smile: "This girl, it's really ......" After speaking, she also grabbed the horse's belly and chased after her.

Mingyuan looked at the loess in the sky and frowned slightly: "The master is too far away, will it be dangerous?" ”

"Don't worry, this road leads to the Divine Capital, and it is an official road all the way, what can go wrong?"

The young heroes are singing horses, and the fighting spirit is sprinkled with the stars!

More than half an hour later, Xiao Wenjun was already sitting in the tea room drinking tea, and this time he galloped on his horse, but he swept away the depression in his chest, and his heart was a lot happier.

In the scorching summer, a bowl of boiled water can quench thirst and fatigue.

The tea house is five miles away from the post station, the layout is simple, only a shed is supported with bamboo poles, and a few seats are placed to usher in the delivery. It should be because the weather is too hot, and there is only one guest in the tea house.

When Wang Jiuyuan arrived at the tea house, he felt that there was something strange here, and when he came to this time for a few months, he had never seen this tea house, was it because of the hot weather, and he only did some temporary business.

"Didn't you say that it was better to go to the front station?" Wang Jiuyuan also turned over and dismounted, looked at the surrounding environment, and walked straight towards Xiao Wenjun.

"The old man in the tea house said that the post station in front has been abandoned, and there is no place to rest for twenty or thirty miles nearby, so he stopped to drink tea here." The girl smiled proudly, took the bowl again, poured the tea and put it on the table.

"A few months ago, I came from Kyoto, and there was no tea house here, so I always thought it was a little strange." Wang Jiuyuan saw that Xiao Wenjun had drunk two bowls in a row, and there was no big problem.

The old man who had been secretly observing this side tensed up instantly, and said with a quiet smile: "Childe doesn't know, my tea house has been open for many years, and it is only available in summer, so I can rest the thirsty guests at the intersection." ”

Wang Jiuyuan let down his guard at this time, and was a little flattered to take the tea poured by the girl and drank it all.

This road is an official road, and they will follow in the near future, and then they and Xiao Wenjun's martial arts are not weak, so there should not be too much of a problem.

However, this time it was he who was careless, and he almost regretted it for the rest of his life!

At this time, more than a dozen strong men came, and after making eye contact with the old man, they sat down, and several carriages were pulled behind them, piled with hay.

Wang Jiuyuan glanced at them and immediately realized that this group of people was not simple, so he whispered to Xiao Wenjun: "There is something wrong with this group of people!" ”

"This rut is so deep that there must be something heavy under the hay! And these people have a steady foot, they are all practitioners, and they must be careful......" Before Wang Jiuyuan finished speaking, he felt his eyelids sink and his head fell heavily on the table.

Looking at the two people who fell on the table, the old man patted them on the shoulder, and after confirming that they had both fainted from the drug, he glanced back.

Two strong men drew their long knives and stepped forward.

"Three masters, what is the way this man came from, he has been staring at our carriage, do you see anything? Do you want to kill him with a knife? ”

Uncle Chaliao is the third leader of this gang of bandits, and they have been secretly funded by Xiao Daocheng, using this place as a stronghold for hoarding weapons.

With the blessing of Second Master Xiao, the government has rarely come to trouble them for several years, and this time he received a secret order from Second Master Xiao to intercept and kill the county lord of Lanling who passed by!

"Never! Second Master Xiao has instructed that this person's identity is not simple, killing him will affect the second master's actions, just tie him to a tree quickly, and someone will save him. ”

"Then I'll slaughter this girl with a knife!" One man makes a gesture and raises his sword, and he will cut it down.

"Wait! This girl looks quite good, it's just right for my stupid son to be a daughter-in-law! The three masters smiled lewdly.

"Then what did Second Master Xiao say?"

"Let's just say that if you fall into the Yellow River, there are no bones!"

……

Hiding Xiao Wenjun in a haystack, the group quickly disappeared.

When Wang Jiuyuan was woken up by the cold water, he was groggy and had a splitting headache.

"Prince Wang, where did my county lord go?" Seeing Wang Jiuyuan open his eyes, Chunxia asked anxiously.

Wang Jiuyuan was clever, stood up, his eyes were instantly clear, looked around, and asked in a panic, "Wen Jun is gone?" ”

Hearing this, Chun Xia's face became even whiter. Ming Xiu has never seen his master lose his temper like this! Wang Jiuyuan's reaction confirmed the worst conjecture in their hearts, Xiao Wenjun was missing......

"What time is it?" Wang Jiuyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Just arrived at Shen." Ming Xiu said immediately.

Looking at the messy tea house, thinking of the group of suspicious strong men in his mind, Wang Jiuyuan's heart was cold: Xiao Wenjun has been abducted for almost an hour!

As soon as Wang Jiuyuan thought of this, he was going crazy......

"Have you ever seen any suspicious people?"

"Haven't met it."

"It must have been a trail!" Wang Jiuyuan recalled the situation in his mind, it had just rained heavily a few days ago, and the heavy car passing by would definitely leave traces.

Wang Jiuyuan slapped himself fiercely, turned over his horse, and galloped away.

"Hurry up and take the guards to protect the master!" Ming Xiu pushed Mingyuan onto the horse.
