The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 260 Eight: Falling from the Sky

At first, the wind became stronger, and the wind direction was no longer from south to north. When Mu Lan realized that something was wrong, there was already thunder and lightning above her head. The lightning pierced the night sky from time to time, and sometimes it seemed to flash past them.After a while, the pouring rain poured down.

"Everyone be careful! Hurry up and don't let go..." In the midst of the crisis, Xi Feng reminded loudly.Just in case, he held the basket with one hand and freed his other hand to hold Mulan tightly.Seeing this, Mu Lan hurriedly put her other hand tightly around Qing Wu beside her.

In the precarious wind and rain, the three of them felt as if they were in a stormy sea. They could only cling to the edge of the basket desperately and try to maintain their balance, but they were still blown to this side. The hot air balloon was not made properly. There was no defensive measure at all, and the fire was quickly turned off.Before Mulan could come up with a countermeasure, the three of them fell to the ground following the force of gravity.

"Ah..." Mu Lan and Qing Wu could not help exclaiming from the feeling of weightlessness, the dark night sky was like a bottomless abyss, waiting to meet their broken bodies. [

Fortunately, there is Xifeng who is not chaotic in the face of danger. Although it is a dark rainy night, his eyesight is much stronger than ordinary people. With the light of lightning, when he is about to land on the ground, he throws the hook line specially prepared for landing. Hooked to a big tree branch.

Thanks to the rope, it gave them a bit of buffer space and reduced the force of their fall.But I still heard the sound of crackling branches being broken.The basket almost floated past several clumps of trees, and finally stopped under the tension of the hook cable, hanging them less than one meter from the ground.

"What sound?" In the darkness, there was such a shout from somewhere.

"Quick, go and have a look." Someone answered immediately, and after a while, lights lit up all around, and more than a dozen people with lanterns and umbrellas surrounded them.

Mu Lan was still in a state of shock. Seeing this posture, she immediately exclaimed that it was terrible. It seemed that they were extremely unlucky and fell into someone else's courtyard.

Under the light of the lanterns, everyone could see clearly the strange scene in front of them: a large bamboo basket containing three people who were drenched like chickens was hung on the tree trunk in the courtyard.The three of them were all white as paper due to the rain, but it was difficult to distinguish their gender for a while, only one of them had cold eyes, and he quietly protected the other two behind him.

Strange as it is, one of the middle-aged men who looked like housekeepers still asked in a rough voice: "Who are you? Why did you break into the yard outside our staff? Could it be that you want to steal?"

Speaking of this, everyone put on a guarded posture, but since they were forced to hold a lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, they were not too threatening.

"We're just passing by." Xi Feng replied calmly, obviously seeing that these people's skills are not very good.

"Passing by?" The middle-aged man sneered like "you're an idiot", "I don't see you as a good person. This is the mansion outside Li Yuanwai. You're all in the mansion, why not?" Said he was just passing by? Do you want to take another sheep and rob him of money?"

There are still people who think that Xi Feng is not a good person at first glance?Mu Lan was not happy anymore, she stood up from behind Xi Feng and said, "Uncle, he didn't lie to you, we were really just passing by, didn't you see that some of us fell from above?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then sized them up again, and said, "Oh, you are burglars, right? Hurry up, everyone, surround them and arrest them all before the officials."

"Hey, can you explain some reasoning?" Mu Lan was still a little nervous when she heard that she was going to see the officer, and hurriedly said, "We were brought here by the strong wind. Have you ever seen thieves in such a mess like us?"

"Hmph, you brought such a big basket here, and you're still not a thief?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe her, waved his hand, and said, "Take it down first."

Those people rushed forward immediately, and before they got close, Xi Feng jumped out of the basket, and beat several of the rushing servants to the ground in twos and threes.When the others saw this, they were a little apprehensive for a while, and they didn't dare to step forward rashly.

"What happened?" During the stalemate, another man's voice came, and someone approached here with a lantern.

The middle-aged man was loyal. Hearing the man's voice, he hurriedly said, "Master, a thief has broken into our yard. This old slave is leading someone to catch the thief. This thief is very fierce. Master, hurry up." Go back to the house."

The so-called young master is not a cowardly master, he didn't stop when he heard the words, instead he quickened his pace and rushed over, saying: "What kind of thief is so bold, dare to come to our house to act wildly, I have to take a good look at it!" Look."

As he approached, Mu Lan could also see clearly that the other party was only about 20 years old, and he was pretty, with the appearance of a scholar in a gentle manner. [

After the young master sized up Mu Lan and the others, he frowned suspiciously, and said to the housekeeper, "Looking at their appearance, they don't look like vicious people."

When Mu Lan heard this, she couldn't help but praised: "Mr. Li is indeed a sensible person. We are indeed not thieves, but we just accidentally fell into your yard."

/>

Mr. Li was suddenly surprised, "Hey, you know me?"

Mu Lan smiled and said: "Just now this uncle said that this is Li Yuanwai's mansion, and he also called you Young Master, so you are naturally Mr. Li."

"Oh." Mr. Li suddenly realized, and then took the lantern in his hand to shine on her, and said: "From your voice, it seems...is a girl?"

Mu Lan nodded, pulled Qing Wu who was beside her, and said, "This is my sister, and the one below is my brother. As for why we will appear here, it is really hard to say. However, there are no thieves in this kind of weather. You brought two women with the power to bind chickens out to steal things, don't you think?"

Before Mr. Li answered, the butler next to him reminded: "Master, these people came here strangely and their identities are unknown. You can't be fooled by her just a few words."

Mu Lan didn't try to defend herself, knowing that at least among the people present, the young master had the final say, so she just looked at him and waited for his answer.

Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This girl is right, Uncle Zhong, I don't think they look like bad people, maybe there is some misunderstanding. It's raining so hard now, let them go to the front hall to take shelter for a while Avoid talking again."

The young master gave orders, and this middle-aged man called Uncle Loyalty couldn't disobey the order, so he could only say: "You are lucky to meet such a kind person as our young master, I can warn you, don't play tricks." , Come in with me."

Mu Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li." Mang and Qing Wu jumped out of the basket, and the three of them wetly followed behind the loyal uncle and entered the front hall.

The front hall was brightly lit, and under the light, Mu Lan realized that the three of them were just like water ghosts who had just crawled out of the water, with disheveled hair and soaked clothes, clinging to their bodies from head to toe. They are all dripping.

Mr. Li glanced over the three of them in a hurry, his face turned red, he hurriedly turned around, and said: "The three of you should go to the inner room to change into clean clothes first, but there are no female relatives in the house, only maids." clothes, if the two girls don’t mind, I’ll ask someone to find two sets for you.”
