Lai Yue, who was following aside, frowned when he turned around, he shook the reins in his hand and leaned against He Changdi's side, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, it's Brother Zhang. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. ”

Of course, He Changdi knew that the big brother Zhang in Laiyue's mouth was Zhang Mai.

His face changed slightly, and he ordered Lai Yue to take the guards to guard the convoy well, he drove to the side of the carriage and said a word, and then greeted him in the direction of Zhang Mai.

Chu Lian was chatting with Mrs. Jing Anbo in the carriage when he heard what He Changdi said.

Mrs. Jing Anbo frowned, "Why is San Lang still in trouble at this time?"

Chu Lian not only didn't get angry, but also comforted Mrs. Jing Anbo with a smile, "Mother doesn't know, it's been a lot of trouble recently, and my husband is very busy, let him go and have a look, since it's Brother Zhang Mai who is here in person, it must be something urgent." ”

Mrs. Jing Anbo sighed, thought of the past, and sighed: "Our mother and mother really have the same disease, when I was pregnant with Erlang and Sanlang, your father was also very busy all day long, and he was rarely around. ”

However, the third daughter-in-law is still luckier than her, she was pregnant at the time, Jing Anbo has returned to Mingzhou, and now, even if He Changdi is busy with business all day, at least he is still by his side, and he can often 'time' to accompany Chu Lian.

Chu Lian's smile was brighter again, but in fact, she was not as calm as she showed on her face.

After a while, the sound of coming and talking sounded outside the carriage.

"Madame, three 'milk' and 'milk'. ”

"What?"

"Three's 'milk' and 'milk', the third young master was temporarily called away by Brother Zhang Mai's temporary emergency, so that the little one would be informed. ”

"Got it, let's keep going. ”

Mrs. Jing Anbo naturally listened to the conversation between Lai Yue and Chu Lian clearly.

"San Lang's daughter-in-law, San Lang has something to leave in a hurry, otherwise we should go back first and go another day. "Without He Changdi here, Mrs. Jing Anbo and her daughter-in-law with a big belly are always uneasy, and the family is full of expectations for Chu Lian's belly, so they must be cautious and cautious.

Chu Lian shook her head and comforted her mother-in-law, "Mother, no, the guards were all selected early in the morning, and there were two generals to follow, but the husband didn't follow him, there are so many of us, where is it so easy to have an accident, besides, my stomach is not easy to delay, I have to go back today, and I don't know when I will go out again." ”

Mrs. Jing Anbo was finally persuaded by Chu Lian.

A group of men and horses marched towards Da'an Temple according to the original plan.

After more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the foot of Lanxiang Mountain.

Originally, it shouldn't have taken so long, but Chu Lian was pregnant, and the carriage was slow, so the time it 'spent' along the way was doubled.

At the foot of Lanxiang Mountain, there is a special 'door' path for nobles to go up the mountain, and He Changdi has already arranged for his subordinates to pick them up.

Wen Qing and Mu Xiang got out of the carriage behind them and came to the carriage where Chu Lian and Mrs. Jing Anbo were riding.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Mrs. Jing Anbo got out of the carriage first, and then Mu Xiang took the first step to help Chu Lian out of the carriage.

Wen Qing could only stand aside.

Lai Yue came over with two guards.

"Madam, three 'milk' and 'milk', the sedan chair for going up the mountain is ready. ”

Although Lanxiang Mountain is not high, the road is not as easy to walk as the official road, even if it is a mountain road opened up for the nobles to walk, it is not as flat as the official road.

Neither horses nor carriages are easy to walk.

The mountain can only rely on manpower, and it is precisely because of this that there are many sedan chairmen who make money to support their families at the foot of Lanxiang Mountain.

Chu Lian held his stomach because he didn't have the strength to climb the mountain, so he was helped by Wen Qing and Mu Xiang to sit down on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair carried by these two people is made of rattan, and the two ends are where people carry them, and in the middle is a rattan chair with a sun-shading roof tied to the top. Although it is simple, it is lightweight, several times lighter than the general sedan car, and it is suitable for going up the mountain.

Wait until Chu Lian and Mrs. Jing Anbo got into the sedan chair, and then came to Yue and ordered to go up the mountain.

Mu Xiang followed Chu Lian's sedan chair, and she asked Qing beside her: "Ask Qing, you go and take care of Mrs., the three 'milk' and 'milk' are here and I will be." ”

The eldest maid brought by Mrs. Jing Anbo twisted her ankle when she got off the carriage, and was left at the foot of the mountain with the carriage and horses, with only an elderly grandmother by her side for the time being.

Wen Qing paused, nodded, and walked to Mrs. Jing Anbo's sedan chair in three or two steps.

The weather was hot, the team walked for a quarter of an hour, everyone was sweating profusely, in the middle of the mountain forest, surrounded by green trees blocking the wind, but the trees on both sides of the road were cut down, and the sun was shining down, becoming more and more hot.

Chu Lian shook the fan in his hand, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, 'touched' a white porcelain bottle from his waist, and poured out a brown 'colored' 'medicine' pill and took it.

Mu Xiang, who was following her, had been paying attention to her movements, and when she saw that she had taken the 'medicine' pill, her brows frowned, and she pretended to be worried: "Three 'milk' and 'milk', Doctor Miao said that people who are pregnant can't 'take medicine' 'indiscriminately'. ”

Chu Lian turned his head to look at her, and suddenly smiled slyly.

Under the sun, her smile was so dazzling in Mu Xiang's eyes.

"Mu Xiang, thank you for your concern, this is the 'medicine' that Uncle Miao gave me. ”

Mu Xiang's face stiffened slightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and squeezed out a smile, "Since it was personally matched by Doctor Miao, then the slave maid doesn't have to worry." ”

After this little 'interlude', Chu Lian only sat on the sedan chair and had nothing to say to Mu Xiang all the way.

Halfway through, Mu Xiang noticed a sign somewhere, and suddenly made a covert gesture.

On both sides of the dreary road up the mountain, a small group of 'masked' men and horses suddenly rushed out, and they fought with the guards of the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion in an instant.

A strong man with a 'masked' face and short sleeves was about to stab Mrs. Jing Anbo next to him with a sword.

Wen Qing, who was about to leave to protect Chu Lian's safety, had to turn around and block the man's attack with the soft sword hidden at his waist.

The weapons were connected to each other, and the sound of ping-pong was heard.

Here, Mu Xiang shouted to protect Chu Lian, but Lai Yue and a few skilled guards were blocked halfway.

The sedan chair that Chu Lian was riding in was robbed by two gray-clothed men in a moment, and even Mu Xiang was gagged and taken away.

The gang seemed to have no intention of fighting, and after snatching people away, they quickly retreated with a gesture.

In just over a quarter of an hour, halfway up the Lanxiang Mountain, there were wounded people and stunned and frightened Mrs. Jing Anbo left behind.

After Mrs. Jing Anbo found out that Chu Lian had been robbed, she collapsed to the ground in fright, and she shouted angrily: "Chase quickly! No matter what the price is, we must get Sanlang's daughter-in-law back safely!"

She trembled and ordered Laiyue, "Quickly send someone to deliver the news to the Third Young Master, Uncle and Wei Wangfu!"

The general Huang Zhijian had already chased after him with someone, and he hurriedly ordered someone to report the news, but he himself did not dare to leave, Mrs. Jing Anbo was still here after all, and one of the 'female' masters in the house had already had an accident, and the other could not have an accident again.

Chu Lian was carried away while sitting on the sedan chair, and she didn't dare to 'mess' at all while holding her stomach.

It turned out that the two sedan chairmen who carried her had already been arranged by others.

She looked around at the surrounding path, but this was the mountain forest of Lanxiang Mountain, except for shrubs and trees, there was nothing to mark 'sex', she pursed her 'lips', and carefully shook the purse around her waist, and some debris fell.

In such an emergency, the light 'colored' powder that fell out of the purse would not have been noticed.

Chu Lian looked at Mu Xiang, who was tied to her shoulder next to her, she was covered with a cloth bag by this group of people, and she couldn't see her expression at this time.

It's just that what makes Chu Lian feel strange is that Mu Xiang struggled at the beginning, and when they were kidnapped and left the sight of Laiyue and the others, she seemed to have fainted, and she didn't move.

The two men carrying the sedan chair were running wildly, and Chu Lian held the sedan chair hard and didn't dare to move.

Finally, the group of bandits shook off the Hou Mansion guards who were chasing behind, circled around the mountains and forests again, and finally stopped in front of a thatched hut.

Chu Lian and Mu Xiang were pushed into the only thatched house.

There is a simple set of old tables and chairs with traces in the hut, there is a pile of hay in one corner, there is nothing beside it, and there is only a narrow 'door' when entering this hut, and there is no window, so the whole room looks 'dark' and 'damp'.

Chu Lian held on to the muddy wall to stabilize his body and leaned in the direction of the pile of hay.

The team of robbers and horses actually retreated after throwing Chu Lian and Mu Xiang in the thatched hut, and stayed more than ten meters away from the thatched hut.

Chu Lian's brows furrowed, and his eyes quickly fell on Mu Xiang, who was sitting on the ground and was 'covered'.

Mu Xiang, who thought that he had fallen asleep, suddenly moved, and in three or two clicks, he untied his hands and pulled down the cloth bag that 'covered' his head and face.

In a moment, her usually kind face was 'revealed'.

It's just completely different from the usual woody gentle and obedient appearance.

Her expression was stingy, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and her eyes were full of 'gloomy', as if she had completely changed a person, and there was still a little shadow of Muxiang.

Chu Lian's eyebrows tightened, and his red lips opened slightly, obviously still in shock.

She subconsciously swallowed, "You...... Who are you?"

Chu Lian's mind was spinning fast, this group of people kidnapped her, and only left her and Mu Xiang in the thatched hut, could it be that all this was arranged by Mu Xiang?

Otherwise, how to explain that this group of people only kidnapped her and Mu Xiang?

Mu Xiang stood up and took a few steps towards Chu Lian.

Now in front of Mu Xiang, where is there still a little shadow of the obedient maid, she is stepping, her chin is slightly raised, and her whole face is proud.

She stared at Chu Lian who was supporting the wall with the corners of her mouth curled, and then bent down slightly and got closer.

Mu Xiang was tall and tall, standing with Chu Lian, who was petite at this time, half a head taller than her, and this time again, Mu Xiang also experienced the taste of looking down at people.

She laughed strangely, and her tone was mocking with hatred, "Ha? Who am I? This sentence should be asked by me, Mrs. An Yuanhou! Who are you? Don't you feel a little ashamed of taking this body? You robbed other people's husbands and kept them for yourself, and you still hid the truth from him, don't you have a little bit of a weak heart? You monster, I want to see how long you will play today!"

Chu Lian: ......

Chu Lian was slightly startled in his heart, staring at the wood incense in front of him with wide eyes distorted because of anger.
