Chapter 372: The Word Faithful
I only heard a whistle from a distance, and the princess, who had been a lazy look, suddenly made a clever move, quickly retracted the hind legs that were on the tree, and stretched out her nose to sniff in the air. And the white hair on its back also stood up instantly.
Sima Rulan had never seen a princess like this, and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
The princess barked a few times, and in response, her nostrils twitched, and she continued to sniff in the air, and suddenly she kicked her feet on all fours, and she had jumped out and ran straight down the street.
Sima Rulan hurriedly shouted: "Hey, where are you going, come back quickly!"
This big white dog was usually very obedient to the words of the hostess, but at this moment, for some reason, as if he hadn't heard Sima Rulan's cry at all, he spread his legs and ran along the side of the street, and his speed was a little faster.
Seeing this, Sima Rulan didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly quickened her pace and chased after the big white dog.
The princess ran and barked, and ran more than twenty feet away, and when she came to the corner of a street, she rushed without pause. Sima Rulan, who was following behind, saw the big white dog disappear after the corner, but suddenly heard a wail of "whoosh", and there was no sound again.
Sima Rulan was shocked in her heart, and immediately used her light skills to rush up, and she had already swept out a few feet in a vertical leap, and then walked a few steps closer to the corner in front of the street. Turning the corner, she could no longer find the shadow of the princess, but she happened to see a second-driver black lacquered carriage closing the back door with a "bang" more than ten feet away, and speeding forward.
Although she didn't see the person in the carriage clearly, she saw a hemp cloth bag in the carriage, and something was moving in it.
Apparently an ambush had been set up at the corner of the street, and when the princess rushed over, it was put in a sack, and then carried into a carriage and robbed.
"You are so bold, stop quickly!" Sima Rulan shouted, but the driver of the carriage did not care what she shouted, the long whip was swung out, and it was whipped on the back of the animal pulling the cart, and the two horses galloped in pain, pulling the carriage and speeding away along the street.
Seeing that the dog was taken away, of course Sima Rulan refused to give up, and immediately performed light skills and chased down!
A car and a person rushed forward and backward on the road, and chased hundreds of zhang away in a blink of an eye. The carriage had already left Orchid Avenue and drove onto another street, also far away from the City Lord's Mansion.
The carriage of this black-lacquered carriage was a very light one, and the two horses pulling it were also good horses, and they were much faster than ordinary carriages. However, if it is to compare the speed of running, no matter how fast the carriage is, it cannot match the light skill of the Shaolin school's "eight steps to catch cicadas".
Sima Rulan exerted all her light skills, chasing closer and closer, and seeing that in a few moments, she was about to catch up with the carriage that hijacked the princess, but the black painted carriage suddenly made a sharp turn and drove into an alley next to the street.
Sima Rulan grew up in Okura City since she was a child, and she knows all the streets and alleys in the city. Seeing the carriage turn into the narrow alley, she knew that the other party would not be able to escape. Because she knew very well that although the alley was seven or eight feet deep, it was surrounded by stone walls on both sides, there were no portals, and there were high walls in front of it, and there was only an entrance and no exit.
It was actually an impassable cul-de-sac.
Who is so hateful that he dares to openly kidnap the princess, how can it be reasonable! Now that the other party is blocked in the alley, we must settle accounts with him!
With this in mind, Sima Rulan flew to the entrance of the alley, and the superior light skills of the Shaolin faction were displayed, and her feet did not make a sound when they landed. Her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide open, her hands were clenched into fists, and she walked into the alley.
The black-lacquered carriage was parked in the alley, the door was closed, the driver of the carriage was sitting on the wheel in front, Sima Rulan stared, but it was a sturdy young man.
"Who are you, what do you want to do when you take the princess!" Sima Rulan shouted, and in one step, she swept close to the carriage and stretched out her hand to push it towards the door.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open by Sima Rulan, but I saw a young man in white in his twenties sitting in the middle of the carriage, with a smile on his face, isn't it the "evil dog boy" Hua Bushi I saw yesterday!
And Hua Bushi was still holding a knife in his hand, but the blade was against the neck of the big white dog lying horizontally. The princess fell to the ground on all fours in the carriage, and only her eyes could move, but the dog remained motionless, and did not open its mouth to bark, nor did she know what method had been used.
When Hua Bushi saw Sima Rulan, his face smacked slightly, and he said, "Miss Lan'er, we just separated yesterday, and we met again today, it seems that you and I are quite fateful!"
Sima Rulan was so angry that her pretty face changed color, and she shouted: "It turns out that you are a villain again! What do you want to do when you take the princess, hurry up and let her go!"
Sima Rulan could see that the knife Hua Bushi was holding in his hand was actually very sharp, and the tip of the knife was against the vital point between the princess's neck, as long as his hand moved, he could seriously injure the big white dog. This evil young master can be said to be very bad, and this kind of bastard method of using dogs as hostages to threaten has also come out!
Hua Bushi looked calm, not ashamed at all, and said leisurely: "What do I want to do when I catch the princess, can't Miss Lan'er guess it?"
Sima Rulan gritted her teeth and said: "If you want me to help you do evil, that's a fantasy! If you dare to hurt the princess, I will definitely not let you go!"
Hua Bushi stared at Sima Rulan's eyes, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Lan'er misunderstood, Hua Bushi will not force Miss to do what she doesn't want to do, I just want to invite you to meet the two of you and listen to them say a few words." As long as Miss Lan'er listens to what they say, I will let the princess go, and I will never hurt her by any means. ”
Sima Rulan frowned slightly, and said, "Who do you want me to see?"
Hua Bushi said: "They are not villains, Miss Lan'er went with me, and you will know when you see them." ”
Although I don't know what tricks this evil young master is playing, but now that the princess is in his hands, Sima Rulan has no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go with you to meet them." ”
Hua Bushi said: "This is very good, please Miss Lan'er get in the car!"
Sima Rulan did not hesitate, and jumped into the carriage with a slight jump. The door closed, and the boy whipping the horse, turning the carriage around in the alley and heading out into the street.
The carriage of such a light carriage was quite narrow, and Sima Rulan got on the carriage and sat down, only a few feet away from Hua Bushi. She knew that the "evil dog boy" didn't know martial arts, and if she suddenly shot at his acupoint and restrained this bad guy, she might be able to save the princess from his hands.
Just as Sima Rulan was thinking about whether to make a move immediately, Hua Bushi had already taken the knife in his hand away from the neck of the big white dog and said, "If Miss Lan'er wants to raid Hua Bushi to save the princess, it is not necessary, I will give it to Miss." ”
Sima Rulan was a little surprised, and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you give me the princess, I won't go with you to see those two people?"
Hua Bushi said: "I believe that Miss Lan'er is a person who believes in her word, and if she agrees to Hua Bushi to see them, she will definitely not regret it." ”
No matter what the intentions of this evil young master were, since he took the initiative to hand over the princess, of course Sima Rulan would not be polite. She stretched out her hand to hug the princess, but saw that although the big white dog had its eyes open, it was paralyzed and could not move, and immediately asked, "What have you done to the princess, why can't she move?"
Hua Bushi smiled: "What else can I do to the princess? It is just hit by the 'Ten Spiced Soft Tendons' below, and it will return to normal in a few hours." ”
Just listening to the name "Ten Spices Soft Tendon San", you will know that it is not a medicine that any righteous person will use, and this "evil dog boy" is really not a good type.
Sima Rulan said: "You didn't deceive anyone, if the princess has something, I will not spare you!"
Hua Bushi said: "Even if you have a bad reputation, you have always been honest in your speech, Miss Lan'er can rest assured." ”
This guy lied to her with nonsense yesterday, saying that he himself was a businessman, and today he dares to claim to be honest! Sima Rulan muttered to herself in her heart, but she didn't say it.
Hua Bushi seemed to see through what she was thinking, and said: "Actually, Hua Bushi has indeed run a lot of business in Wuyang City, Xiangjing, and it is okay to say that I am a businessman. And this time I went to sea by boat, and I really came to make a deal, but unfortunately something happened, and instead of achieving my goal, I drifted to this island in a storm. Although Xiao Ke did not reveal his identity to Miss yesterday, what he said was all true, and there was no falsehood. ”
Sima Rulan looked at the eldest young master, but saw that he was putting on a sincere and honest appearance, as if he was not lying, and said immediately: "What are you doing, who has nothing to do with me in the first place, you don't have to bother to explain." ”
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Zi said: 'If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not prestigious; The Lord is faithful. Those who have no friends are not as good as themselves. Although he did not dare to call himself a gentleman, he still attached great importance to the word 'faithful'. And you and I are already friends, if I don't explain, how can I get your understanding?"
Sima Rulan chirped: "Who is your friend? You even want to bully the princess, what kind of gentleman do you want to be!"
Although she said this, she was a little surprised in her heart that Hua Bushi, the evil young master, could still quote scriptures and say the words of Sage Kong.
Sima Rulan was born smart, and her father, Sima Zhufeng, not only doted on his daughter very much, but also had high hopes for her, hoping to inherit the position of the lord of Okura Castle in the future. It was Sima Zhufeng who not only taught his daughter the superior martial arts of the Shaolin School since she was a child, but also specially invited Mr. Private School to teach her to practice Chinese hyphenation, just so that she could be all-round in civil and military affairs.
Sima Rulan is already familiar with the books of the Four Books and the Five Classics, which are now studied by today's scholars in order to gain fame, so that she can immediately hear that the words quoted by Hua Bushi come from the "Analects of Linguistics".
