Qiao Yuan was awakened by this movement, and the worried voice of the coachman came from outside the curtain.

"Ma'am, something seems to have been chopped up ahead."

The coachman had palpitations.

The thunder just now struck an ancient tree on the side of the road in front of it, and there was smoke at the broken point, and a thick trunk fell sideways in the middle of the road.

The carriage was forced to stop, and Qiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, so he had to ask someone to move the fallen tree trunk first.

Trapped in the carriage and unable to do anything, Qiao Yuan was bored drinking the tea brewed by the green sleeves.

The rain outside had not stopped, and it was getting dark.

After drinking a cup of tea, Qiao Yuan saw that a few attendants had not come back yet, and was about to go down to have a look.

"Madame, wait."

Zhou Lian stood next to the car, seeing that she was going to get down, took off the cloak on her body, folded a few layers and spread it on the ground.

Due to the rain that has been falling for a long time, the road surface is waterlogged.

Xiao Qiao Meiren is a pampered person, no place on her body is not expensive, wearing Shu brocade embroidered soft-soled shoes, if you step on it like this, the whole shoe will be infiltrated by stagnant water.

Qiao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and carefully stepped on the cloak on the ground with his skirt.

A few attendants in front were still moving trees, and it seemed that they couldn't figure it out for a while.

Not only was it raining outside, but the wind was also strong, and a few strands of hair were blown down from Qiao Yuan's ears and stuck to his lips.

Zhou Lian looked away and respectfully asked his wife to go back to the carriage to rest.

As soon as the Duchess of Zhenguo was put in the car, Zhou Lian pulled the curtain so that the rain would not drift in, but when he turned around, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of horses' hooves was hurried, and a man rode into view on a black horse.

Zhou Lian only thought it was a passerby, but he didn't care, and turned his head after a glance.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Zhou Lian raised his head, but saw a man in a coat stop not far away, looking at him condescendingly.

Getting closer, Zhou Lian could see clearly the appearance of the man under the hat, he was rough and handsome that was rare in Shangjing, and his dark eyes were deep and bright, even if he was riding on a horse, he could see that he was in good shape.

The man didn't speak, but stared straight at him.

Zhou Lian grew up in a poor family, full of cold and warmth, he had never seen any kind of eyes, but in the face of this person's dark and bottomless gaze, Leng Buding was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and froze in place.

"Give her back to me."

The man's voice was cold and oozing in the dim rain, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"What?" Zhou Lian couldn't understand, seeing that he really didn't look like a good person, but like a vicious outlaw, cold sweat oozed from his back.

Today, Qiao Yuan came to visit Qiao's mother in simple clothes, but no matter how low-key he was, the sound of the horse's hooves was urgent, and a person riding a black horse came into view.

Zhou Lian only thought it was a passerby, but he didn't care, and turned his head after a glance.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Zhou Lian raised his head, but saw a man in a coat stop not far away, looking at him condescendingly.

Getting closer, Zhou Lian could see clearly the appearance of the man under the hat, he was rough and handsome that was rare in Shangjing, and his dark eyes were deep and bright, even if he was riding on a horse, he could see that he was in good shape.

Today, Qiao Yuan came to visit Qiao's mother in simple clothes, but no matter how low-key the background is, the carriage behind him is decorated with jewels, and there are still few people nearby.

"This strong man must have some misunderstanding, this is the car of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is parked here in the rain, and the attendants of our mansion are still in front."

Zhou Lian moved out of the Zhenguo Mansion and talked about the guards, wanting to shock the person in front of him.

Da Zhuang repeated: "Give her back to me." “

The heavy rain was like a note, Zhou Lian's hand holding the oil-paper umbrella almost had to use all his strength to hold it steadily, and the man was riding on the horse with a hat and a coat, and his tall body was not affected at all.

You won't run into a madman, will you? Zhou Lian smiled bitterly in his heart, even if this person didn't have a weapon in his hand, he didn't doubt that he could cut them as easily as killing a fish.

Even if he was worried in his heart, Zhou Lian didn't dare to relax on his face, and pretended to be calm and said: "Brother Tai, if you want money, just open your mouth and give all your belongings in the next wish." “

If it is only for money, it is the best solution, and I am most afraid that this person will have the intention of killing people and selling goods. Zhou Lian carefully looked at the man's face, and when he saw that he was unmoved, his heart tightened.

Da Zhuang hurriedly rode his horse all the way to catch up, anxious to see his wife, and at this moment saw that this weak man was still blocking in front of the carriage and saying something that he didn't know, and he became more and more impatient.

He remembered that he had just heard the two porters pull the lady and this young master together, and for a moment, jealousy did rise in his heart.

Even if this young master is very different from the door of the Zhenguo Mansion, at least his family is innocent, he is still a seedling of the imperial examination, and he is related to the Gongfu, at most he is ridiculed as a toad who wants to eat swan meat, but at least the names of him and his wife can appear in the mouths of outsiders in a dignified manner.

Even if Da Zhuang's closeness to his wife is far from being comparable to this young master, this alone is enough to make him crazy with jealousy.

Zhou Lian saw that this person's face was getting colder and colder, and sure enough, in the next second, he caught the killing intent in the man's eyes.

As if he was locked by a fierce beast for a moment, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his sensitivity to danger reminded him to run, but his body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move.

As if in slow motion, Zhou Lian saw the man slowly raise his hand--

In the carriage behind him, it seemed that the people in the carriage heard movement outside, and then the friction sound of the curtain being lifted sounded.

Zhou Lian's heart couldn't stop sinking, he was a scholar, and he died when he died, but if something happened to the Duchess of Zhenzhen here, it would not be as simple as dying a few people.

As a worse result, Zhou Lian's eyes flashed in front of his eyes, the talented beauty standing under the umbrella, the water vapor condensed on the crow's eyelashes, and the beautiful water eyes complemented each other.

Sure enough, when the gangster heard the noise, his eyes moved almost invisibly, and then he drove his horse slowly towards the carriage.

Zhou Lian was tense and stood in front of the carriage without moving.

"Big Strong."

A delicate, honey-like voice came from the carriage behind him.

At the same time, the man rode a horse and passed by Zhou Lian.

The dark gaze moved away from him, as if the pressure of dying had been reduced a lot, and Zhou Lian turned his head in shock.

The gangster who seemed to be going to break out and cut people at any time hid his murderous aura in a blink of an eye, and shouted Mrs. with low eyebrows.

The little beauty was troublesome to get out of the car, so she leaned out, and the clean smoke gauze skirt fell on the wheel, light as a cloud, and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you here?" “
