Chapter 608: Tired Luo Lan
This question silenced everyone present, and no one could guess who this masked man was.
At this moment, Fan Tiancheng and the eldest girl came to Leng Yu and Luo Lan with silver in their hands.
"Lord Yu, Princess Yu, this is the silver that the man in black gave us, we have spent some in the past few days, and there are seventy-five taels left, and now all of them will be handed over to you, please be merciful, don't treat us for our crimes, we don't know that An An is a person from Yu Wangfu, if we know, we won't dare to leave her at home."
Although the eldest girl feels sorry for these silvers, she also knows that life is more important than silver.
She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice:
"We ...... We didn't treat the second miss badly, my mother was old, and she couldn't stand the second miss, so she let her run away, by the way, she also gave the second miss a copper plate, this thing... Ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu to spare their lives and let go of our sin of ignorance. ”
"Ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu to spare their lives......"
Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan, and saw her looking at them expressionlessly, with empty eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, he replied directly in a cold voice:
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and you can't be blamed for this, you can take the money yourself!"
Leaving only these simple words, he grabbed Luo Lan's shoulders and comforted him softly:
"Lan'er, as long as An An is alive, we can find her, let's go!"
Luo Lan leaned into his arms, nodded weakly, and muttered in his mouth,
"It's getting dark, she's so young, what is she going to do if she can't find a place to live? Will she freeze, will she be hungry? Will...... Will there be any more bad guys? ”
At this time, she was already crying, Leng Yu held her tightly with one hand, took her on the horse, and after sitting down with Luo Lan, he turned around and instructed Zhang Yuan and the others:
"Without further ado, let's go straight to Yancheng and join Ah Yu and Ah Hou."
"Yes, lord."
After Xiao Lingzi and the others responded, they got on their horses like smoke, ready to follow Leng Yu at any time.
Leng Yu looked ahead, his eyes sank slightly, one hand wrapped around Luo Lan's waist, the other hand tightened the reins of the horse, and with a loud shout of 'ride' in his mouth, the horse raised its front hooves and galloped out quickly in the direction of Yancheng.
With the dust and fatigue along the way, they arrived in Yancheng an hour later, and when they met Ah Yu and Ah Hou, it was already completely dark, and Ah Yu and Ah Hou, together with Yancheng officials, were waiting at the city gate to welcome the arrival of Prince Yu and Princess Yu.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Luo Lan couldn't wait to step forward and ask:
"Is there any news from An An?"
Ah Yu shook his head,
"When we came, it was already late, and Lord Zhang sent officials to search the streets in the city, but we didn't find An An, we wondered if she had already found a place to stay, and we would continue to search early tomorrow morning."
Listening to Ah Yu's words, although Luo Lan's hand was held by Leng Yu, his body trembled unconsciously.
Leng Yu saw that her emotions were a little excited, and hurriedly comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, lady, let's know where she is going, it's much easier to find than looking for a needle in a haystack before, let Ah Hong and Ah Cai take you to the post house to rest first, I will discuss with Master Zhang about tomorrow's plan to find someone, and then go to the street to find it."
"Good ......"
During this time, Luo Lan already felt weak, and with the fact that she got up early today and had been on the road for another day, she really wanted to rest for a while.
Ah Cai and Ah Hong helped Luo Lan into the carriage, and under the guidance of the Yancheng officials, they walked towards the post house that had been arranged long ago.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, the girl who had been waiting here hurriedly bowed down and asked:
"Princess, the bath water is boiled, you can take a bath before you go to bed."
"Hmm."
After Luo Lan nodded, he was supported by Ah Cai and Ah Hong and walked upstairs.
Yancheng Post House, is a place in Yancheng to receive the capital and officials, today I learned that Prince Yu and Princess Yu are coming, Lord Zhang ordered everyone to be dismissed, so it is very quiet here.
The bath water was quickly put away, and after Ah Cai and Ah Hong served Luo Lan to change her clothes, they withdrew.
Sitting in the bathtub, feeling the pleasant feeling of the warm water lapping on her body, Luo Lan closed her eyes tiredly, breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly thought about the past......
But as long as she closes her eyes, her mind is An An, either An An is dressed in rags and shreds, shivering in the corner of the wall, or An An is being chased and beaten by bad people and running around, or she is torn by wild beasts and covered in blood......
She ran her fingers in the water a few times before she suddenly opened her eyes......
It turned out that she had just fallen asleep, and all the terrible sights had happened in a dream.
She raised her jade hand lightly, wiping away the sweat stains on her forehead and the tears pouring down.
An An's child was born with a hard life, and now she doesn't know where she is, she folded her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and silently recited,
"God, please bless me to come back to me safely, I am really worried about her, I don't know where she is now, whether she has eaten, whether she has a place to sleep, whether her face is dirty, whether her hair has been combed, whether her clothes have been washed, or whether the shoes on her feet are still ......"
When she said this, she covered her face with her hands and sobbed......
Yuhongyuan.
This seems to be the standard building that every city will have.
Although it was midnight, it was still bustling with men, either single or in pairs, and when they came to the door, they would be pulled into the house by the women waiting at the door, and when they came out empty, they would have a satisfied expression.
Sister Hong was busy back and forth in the main hall, looking at the men coming in and out, ushering in the send-off, her tone was ambiguous and full of joy.
At this moment, a girl came in a hurry and whispered in her ear,
"Sister Hong, that girl wanted to jump out of the window, but she was stopped, and now she keeps crying, what should I do?"
Sister Hong rolled her eyes, shook her handkerchief and snorted coldly,
"Humph! Entered the door of my entertainment red courtyard and still want to escape? It's a dream, go, go see. ”
After speaking, she shook the handkerchief in her hand, greeted the passing men with a smile, and twisted her graceful figure and walked upstairs.
At this time, An An curled up in the corner of a dark room, staring at the door with a look of fear.
The torture of these ten days has made this originally eccentric little girl become cautious.
Thinking of the scene of stepping into the back door of Yuhong Courtyard, she was terrified......
"Sister Hong, where is this? How can there be so many people here? ”
An An timidly looked at the women who were brightly dressed and wore heavy makeup, and a feeling of fear welled up in her heart.
Sister Hong rolled her eyes, and while signaling the person behind her to close the door, she comforted her,
"This is a dance hall, these sisters are learning to dance, you can also learn with them, and you can grow into a big beauty in the future."
