Chapter 134
Hearing Jiang Du's voice, Ban Xiyu's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and then his body went limp, and he almost lost his footing.She quickly supported the tree trunk next to her and asked:
"Didn't you leave the cottage with a group of young and old? Why did you come back?" Thinking of the gangsters she met just now, she asked, "Could it be that something happened to you too? They were kidnapped?"
Jiang Du didn't know what happened to her, but seeing the unconcealable embarrassment in her posture, he also guessed that she must have experienced some extraordinary danger just now.
He said: "No, no, we are all safe." Jiang Du explained: "I heard someone tell me that you are going down the mountain to Anning Town alone, and you are not going to Qianyuan Town with us. Why is that?"
Jiang Du persuaded her: "You are alone, and you don't have any martial arts. Isn't it dangerous on such a dark and stormy night? I was even worried, so I came here to look for you. I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, he actually met a terrified Ban Xiyu.
Jiang Du then asked her: "What happened, why are you so panicked? But Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang found that you were missing, so they sent someone to chase you?"
Ban Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "They are not from Xiaoyunzhai. I don't know who they are, but they must be people from outside. They are coming for Xiaoyunzhai. It seems that Like Shen Zhihang and Song Ranze, they are also rampant bandits."
She briefly summarized what happened just now, and said: "I originally wanted Chen County Magistrate and Xiaoyunzhai to fight, but now it seems that I was thinking too simply—"
Ban Xiyu collected herself, finally took a deep breath and said:
"Xiaoyunzhai has made too many enemies in Pingzhou. Perhaps among them are the deadly enemies of Song Ranze and others. He heard the rumors that rich family treasures are hidden in the village, so they also have the idea of dividing the spoils. They want to take the opportunity to destroy Xiaoyunzhai. Take the treasure for yourself."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Du could probably understand what Ban Xiyu was worried about right now.
The established plan is the most taboo variable.
The group of thieves who suddenly appeared tonight was the biggest variable.
Jiang Du thought for a while and said, "So now you're going to Anning Town to meet Wu Jinsan so we can discuss the next step?"
Ban Xiyu nodded: "I'm always a little worried, so it's better to see him as soon as possible."
Jiang Du: "Then I will go with you."
"But..." Ban Xiyu hesitated: "You still need escort—"
Jiang Du: "They have almost reached the foot of the mountain now, and they will be able to leave the boundary of Anning Town in a while. If they leave Anning Town, there is nothing to worry about."
He thought that Ban Xiyu's side was more worrying than the people evacuated from the cottage.At least there are a few young teenagers to rely on, but Ban Xiyu is weak.
And she had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, if she was left alone, then he would be worried.
With that said, Jiang Du took the initiative to take a step forward: "Time is running out, don't delay, let's go."
Seeing his insistence, Ban Xiyu could only compromise.
Ashamed to say, after what happened just now, she did feel a little scared.If he hadn't met Jiang Du at this moment, he would have been panicked and at a loss as to what to do.
"Okay. Thank you then."
Jiang Du smiled slightly: "It's my job to help each other with a little effort, so why bother to say thank you." He held up the lantern and looked ahead, and a path appeared under the light:
"Go wide this way."
The two hurried through the forest, and seeing that they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, the candles in the lanterns used for lighting also flickered.
The candles inside were about to burn out.
Jiang Du said: "Fortunately, three miles further ahead is Daijia Village. We can spend half the night in the village first, and then go to Anning Town after dawn."
After tossing around most of the night, Ban Xiyu was really exhausted.
Just as she was about to agree to Jiang Du's suggestion, she suddenly saw a group of people walking on the road outside the jungle.Those people held torches in their hands and were coming in their direction.
At the same time, she also found that behind that group of people, there were old and weak women and children who should have left Xiaoyunzhai!
They were bound hands and feet by the wicked, pushed and abused as they walked forward.
Jiang Du was stunned for a moment, and soon realized.
He turned pale with shock: "How, how could——!"
He obviously sent people down the mountain, how could he be caught? !
Ban Xiyu's eyes were sharp, and by the faint light of the fire, she saw that the group of people were wearing night clothes just like those who held her before, and even the swords in their hands had the same style.
With lessons learned from the past, Ban Xiyu had no choice but to make an association—she suspected that these people were in the same group as the few just now.
She thought so in her heart, then grabbed Jiang Du's sleeve and hid behind the bushes with him.The two lowered their bodies, and then blew out the candles in the lantern.
"The situation is very unfavorable to us. They kidnapped the people in the cottage, and it seems that they want to threaten Song Ranze and Shen Zhihang." Ban Xiyu calmly analyzed:
"The visitors are not good. We will split into two groups. I will deal with them, so you go to Anning Town to find Wujinsan, join him, and let him come to save people as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Jiang Du's eyes widened immediately: "That's impossible, how can I let you face this group of vicious people alone?"
Pushing a weak woman out of danger is simply not what a man would do!
Jiang Du couldn't do such a thing.
He said: "If you want to be the queen of the palace, it should be me. You go and meet Wu Jinsan, and I will find a way to escape." He urged: "You go, I will find a way to stop them."
Ban Xiyu did not agree: "You are someone Shen Zhihang trusts. If you are captured by them, it is equivalent to holding Xiaoyunzhai hostage again. Then you will face life and death danger."
Jiang Du didn't care about the so-called danger of life and death: "Everyone is mortal, but sooner or later. If I can save you, and the innocent people in the village, then I will die naturally, and I have nothing to fear."
Ban Xiyu continued: "But I'm different from you. I'm a spy identified by Shen Zhihang, and an enemy's enemy is a friend. If I fall into the hands of these villains, there may still be room for cooperation. So, let me go Empress Dowager, it will be a lot more cost-effective."
Jiang Du frowned when she heard her take her own life as a bargaining chip without changing her face, and felt both unbearable and dissatisfied: "Even so, that's not okay. How can I—"
Ban Xiyu didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Besides, I may not die. As long as you can inform Wu Jinsan in time, I will be safe and sound."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stopped hesitating and put the whistle hidden in her sleeve into Jiang Du's hand: "You can get in touch with Wu Jinsan after you take this, tell him everything, and he knows what to do."
Originally, she wanted to use this whistle to communicate with Wen Jisheng, but she had only used the whistle to contact him not long ago, and there was still some distance between Anning Town and Xiaoyunzhai, and the messenger bird had not had time to come back.
Right now, it can only be used as a token for the time being and handed over to Jiang Du for safekeeping.
Immediately afterwards, Ban Xiyu took a leap and rushed to the middle of the mountain road shining brightly.She pretended to be afraid, turned her head and ran away when she saw the man in black.
Her actions were too obvious, and the other party quickly spotted her, and quickly chased after her: "Who are you! Stop, don't run!"
