married daughter

Chapter 254 Chapter 276~277

Ruan Yunting nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Our team has set off, what should we do about the cold and fever in Yuquan City?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was Shui Qiuxin, but Jun Lanzhou was locked up. Can inquire so sideways.

Xu Chengfeng only thought that she cared about the people in the city, and said, "I'm worried about my health now, and I'm worried about what others will do."

Xiao Beishu said: "The medical servants beside Lan Zhou stayed in Yuquan City, and there were two accompanying imperial physicians, Mr. Mo only left one imperial physician to take care of the team."

"I see." Shui Qiuxin really stayed in Yuquan City.

Now that the affairs of Yuquan City are settled, he can live according to his own wishes.But Lan Zhou...

Ruan Yunting lifted the curtain of the car again and looked at the queen. Because of the angle, the carriage blocked the view, and only the frame of the prison car could be seen, and a figure in a coarse blue cloth was leaning on the prison car.

The weather was getting colder and colder, the cold wind was blowing, the endless grass was rustling, and the long hair on Ruan Yunting's temples was also blown behind her shoulders.

It was so cold, Lan Zhou didn't know if the clothes on his body were warm enough while staying in the prison car.

"Okay, you are not in good shape, and you still need to blow cold wind, don't you think about it?" Xu Chengfeng couldn't bear her self-torture, so he pulled her back into the car and covered the curtains.

"Cousin, Lan Zhou..."

"Lord Mo hasn't calmed down yet, it's his good fortune to be able to take him on the road before killing him." Xu Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "You too, you can't even protect yourself at a critical moment, and you still want to protect others? Jun Although the young master has merit in treating the cold and fever, but he is making fun of Mr. Mo by relying on his credit, which is also a serious crime."

Ruan Yunting nodded, Jun Lanzhou was a little reckless.It is understandable from the emperor's point of view that the emperor wants to kill him, but Lan Zhou is her friend after all, and she can't watch him die.People are greedy. She was worried that the emperor would kill Lan Zhou, but now that she didn't, she began to worry that Lan Zhou would be cold and hungry.

"Cousin, I understand. Don't worry, I won't act recklessly again." Even if she wanted to take care of Lan Zhou, she didn't have to do it with great fanfare, she could go quietly.

Ruan Yunting wore a new goose-yellow pair of lapels, and her long black hair was scattered behind her head, making her thinner face even paler.When she spoke, her bright eyes flickered, and her expression was very cute and serious, which made the original anger in Xu Chengfeng's heart disappear, and all that was left was his distress for her.He raised his big hand and rubbed her hair, and said dotingly: "It's good to know, grandma told me to take care of you, if something happens to you, grandma won't scold me to death."

Ruan Yunting laughed when she heard the words, and said: "If you want to harm you, as long as I abuse and abuse myself now, I will go back and complain to my ancestors."

Xu Chengfeng looked at her with white eyes, as if scolding her for being childish.Ruan Yunting saw such an expression on Xu Chengfeng's long face, and thought of the gray donkey "Eeyore" in Winnie the Pooh for no reason, and said that if Xu Chengfeng knew that she thought he looked like a donkey in her heart, she would definitely be furious.Thinking of this, she also burst out laughing, in a good mood.

Although I don't know why she suddenly became cheerful, but it's better for her to be so cheerful than lying there dead and sick.Xu Chengfeng also laughed.

Xiao Beishu looked at the two cousins ​​with envy in his heart.Although there are cousins ​​in his family, none of them are close to him, not as good as Jun Lanzhou.

Xu Chengfeng asked Ruan Yunting a few more words, turned around and told "Gao Yi" to take care of her, and then lifted the curtain of the car and jumped.Ruan Yunting raised the curtains and looked out, just in time to see Xu Chengfeng landed on the back of the black horse that had been trotting along with the carriage, pulled the reins, turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the team.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the team stopped and chose a location with a water source to set up camp.Ruan Yunting lay in the car for a while, and when everything was settled, Xiao Beishu came to pick her up.

I got out of the car on a red-painted wooden stool, and after lying down for a day, my body was sore and weak, my legs seemed unable to support my weight, and I was out of breath after walking a few steps.

Xiao Beishu followed Ruan Yunting, wanted to help her but couldn't, so he could only worry.Fortunately, Ruan Yunting's camp was not far away, and he arrived at the tent in a short time.

Ruan Yunting sat down on the temporary wooden bed and took a breath. She felt more comfortable and washed with the hot water just delivered.He pulled her long hair up again, and after everything was settled, she opened her bag.

The beanie she was wearing was not brought by her, it was presumably newly purchased.Wrapped the cotton coat and cotton cloak she brought when she came, took the steamed buns on the table, poured a pot of hot water, took the clay bowl, and went out.

Originally in the tent, she could see someone standing guard in front of the door, and thought it was Xiao Beishu.

Unexpectedly, after he came out, he found that standing in front of the door was a strange-looking Hu Jun, wearing the same soft armor as Xiao Beishu.

Seeing Ruan Yunting coming out, the man cupped his hands and saluted, "Miss."

Ruan Yunting nodded and said, "Where is Gao Yi?"

"Guard Xu ordered him to do other things and send a villain to protect the girl."

"Well. Do you know where Mr. Jun is being held?"

The man went straight to the back of the tent, and said: "Mr. Jun's prison car is over there, and the villain will guide the young lady."

"No need, you stay here."

It wasn't Xiao Beishu, she couldn't believe it, and besides, she was in the camp now, and nothing would happen.

The man wanted to follow again, but the man in front of him had a tough attitude, and he couldn't refute the order, so he could only salute and watch Ruan Yunting walk towards the back of the tent with the bag and the water bottle.

With a team of more than 500 people, the camp area is not small.Ruan Yunting walked all the way and rested twice before seeing the prison car at the edge of the camp near the woods.

The prison cart was tied to a tree trunk, and the horses were taken away. Jun Lanzhou did not stay in the cart, but tied his hands and feet with shackles.There is a chain around his waist, and the wheel of a prison cart is tied to the other end.Jun Lanzhou has disheveled hair and a dusty handsome face. He is wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and black cloth shoes. He is sitting cross-legged on a hay mat, leaning against the wheels and resting his eyes with his eyes closed.As dusk fell, the cold wind blew his sideburns and the long hair at the back of his head flutteringly. The man who should have been shivering from the cold had a calm expression, as if he was not locked beside the prison car, but stayed comfortably in the tea room.

This scene seemed to make Ruan Yunting extremely sad.He stood there for a long while without stepping forward.

One stood silently, the other sat cross-legged, and the people walking around and the guards who were busy setting up camp became the background beside them.

The heat from the kettle in Ruan Yunting's hand dissipated with the wind, gradually stirring the frozen air.

Jun Lanzhou seemed to feel that someone was watching.Opening his eyes, those crystal-like peach eyes were instantly filled with starlight, he grinned, and said, "Are you awake? Are you feeling better?"

Ruan Yunting smiled back, walked slowly to him and knelt down, put the Yunjin jacket inlaid with rabbit fur over his shoulders, and took the cloak to cover his legs.

"Zhiqian reminded me to bring it when I set off, but I didn't expect it to get cold so quickly here. It's better than nothing. You should wear it first to avoid freezing."

Hearing the word Zhiqian, Jun Lanzhou's eyes flashed.

Ruan Yunting didn't notice it, stepped back, poured a bowl of hot water for him: "That man didn't torture you, did he?"

Jun Lanzhou took the hot water and held it, but didn't drink it. Looking at Ruan Yunting who was squatting in front of her, she smiled warmly: "No, there is no torture or embarrassment."

"Isn't that embarrassing? In such a cold day, you don't even give me a tent." Ruan Yunting was angry. No matter how naughty Jun Lanzhou was, he was still the emperor's nephew. Couldn't the emperor look at Prince Yu's face? Is it just a child's prank?She didn't believe that so many princes and grandchildren didn't play tricks.

Jun Lanzhou smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me. Since he didn't kill me and took me on the road, he won't kill me for the time being. And there is only one imperial doctor accompanying him. He is also afraid of repeated cold and fever, so he keeps me Still useful."

"It's true." Ruan Yunting handed him the steamed bun, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to ask Mr. Mo to intercede for you and let you go earlier."

Jun Lanzhou took the steamed buns and ate them in big mouthfuls, with his mouth full, and nodded.

Ruan Yunting saw him gobbling it up, and felt very sore in her heart. After he drank the hot water and ate all the steamed buns, she frowned and asked, "Did you get something to eat during the day?"

Jun Lanzhou shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm a prisoner now, and one meal a day is already good. Don't worry, I can't stand being hungry."

Ruan Yunting recalled his experience of begging since he was a child. If it was not time to eat, he would be hungry. I think this patience was also practiced at that time.What is the difference between the emperor tying him up like this and the wolf dogs in Shuan Daying?What he wanted to torture was not only Jun Lanzhou's body, but also Jun Lanzhou's dignity.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting had tears in her eyes.

Jun Lanzhou couldn't see her like this, and seeing the night wind blowing again, he said, "Go back quickly. It's time to take the medicine for the night. Brother Bei, I told him the prescription, and the medicine must be taken on time."

"Okay. Then I'll come and see you tomorrow morning."

"Don't come. If you take care of me like this, that person will definitely get angry. You are still sick and can't bear to make troubles. Don't give him a chance to find fault with you."

"Don't worry, since he keeps you, he doesn't want you to suffer from the cold. I have a sense of proportion." Ruan Yunting left the water bottle for Jun Lanzhou, got up and waved her hands, and walked along the road by the woods towards her tent .

Jun Lanzhou watched her slender back go away, then smiled slightly, tightened the jacket with a faint fragrance, closed her eyes and continued to rest.

After walking for a while, Ruan Yunting felt refreshed.Looking at the busy guards and piles of bonfires in the camp along the way, I felt a touch of tranquility.

As he was walking, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.Ruan Yunting was taken aback, looked at the camp, it seemed that no one had noticed, then looked to the woods on the right, but saw a familiar figure walking quickly towards the depths of the woods, and looked back occasionally, as if afraid of being caught by someone. track.

Isn't that Gao Yi made up by Xiao Beishu?What is he doing ghostly?
Ruan Yunting originally had many doubts about Xiao Beishu's ability to follow her on this trip.

When the emperor travels, the guards who are willing to take with him must be trustworthy elites.In such a team, how could someone be easily allowed to mix in?How did Xiao Beishu convince the real Gao Yi?Could it be that Xiao Beishu killed the real Gao Yi in order to sneak into the team?If you don't kill them, how can you be able to sneak around so that they are not reported or discovered?Although she was moved when she thought of Xiao Beishu taking the risk to sneak into the team in order to protect her, she still keenly felt that the matter was questionable. Closely monitor Xiao Beishu.If he was simply a champion and a teacher, why would anyone watch him?Could it be that Xiao Beishu didn't just come here to protect her during this trip, but also had other things to do while in the team?
There were all kinds of doubts in my heart, and when I came back to my senses, the man had already followed.The woods were overgrown with weeds, and Ruan Yunting was weak, so she followed carefully with her skirt up for fear of being discovered, so she was thrown away by Xiao Beishu for a while.About the time it took for a stick of incense to pass, a faint light of fire was seen in front of her. Ruan Yunting quietly stepped forward, hiding behind a big tree, and saw more than 30 people wearing the same military uniform as Xiao Beishu from a distance. Sit or stand around the campfire.

Ruan Yunting felt relieved, could it be that these people want to have fun and have a bonfire party?She was too suspicious.

Shaking her head and laughing, Ruan Yunting didn't want to disturb her, she turned around and was about to go back.Just took a step, but heard a man's voice from behind. Although the distance was far away, Ruan Yun Tingting could clearly understand the sensitive content.

"What the master means is to choose to attack tomorrow morning, when people are most sleepy and the defense in the camp is also the weakest."

"This time, we must kill the dog emperor!"

"Yes, kill the dog emperor!"

After the excitement, another person said:

"General Gao, the master sent a letter saying that he has sent more than two hundred brothers to ambush nearby."

Then came Xiao Beishu's voice: "Before in Yuquan City, we couldn't find a chance to make a move. Now is a good time. At that time, we will cooperate with each other."

……

Ruan Yunting covered her mouth, for fear that she would make a little noise to disturb these people.Surprised, his heart beat so fast that he couldn't count, and he couldn't feel the fatigue and soreness on his body.

They are all guards, why would someone call Gao Yi a general?It can be seen that this group of people secretly belonged to another organization, and Gao Yi was the "general" in that organization.Xiao Beishu pretended to be Gao Yi and came to meet these people. What does it mean?He is the emperor's man?Or is he a member of the organization?

Ruan Yunting's mind was in a mess, and her top priority was to return to the camp and her tent safely.These people must not find themselves aware of their plot.

However, under the tension, Ruan Yunting didn't realize that her skirt was hooked on the branch, and she raised her legs and walked quickly. There was a "tear" sound from her body, the skirt was scratched, and the branch was also broken.

"Who is it!" The guards were startled, more than a dozen people got up and rushed towards her, while the rest stood up and watched.

Ruan Yunting lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly into the forest.However, how could her speed match the well-trained guards?After a while, he was blocked in his way.

"It's a woman!"

Someone who knew Ruan Yunting pointed to Ruan Yunting and said, "It's the little lady next to Mo Jianbi!"

"She will tell the truth, kill her!" Someone had already pulled out his saber.

Someone even smacked their mouths and approached Ruan Yunting with an evil smile, "Wouldn't it be a pity to kill such a stunning beauty? It's better for our brothers to eat meat, and it's always delicious. The oirans in Baihualou don't have this flair!"

When one person's voice fell, most people followed suit.It has been more than a month since they came out with the team. Even in Yuquan City, these people stayed outside the city to camp and were not allowed to enter the city to disturb the people. The men who had been abstinent for a long time had evil thoughts in their hearts. Looking at Ruan Yunting, they seemed to see prey hungry wolf.

Ruan Yunting felt chills down her spine, she clutched her neckband and retreated helplessly. This group of people blocked the direction to the camp. The only way to retreat was the east and west sides. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't match her speed, so she would still be caught.She wanted to call for help, but now her throat was broken, and no one could hear the direction of the camp.At this time, her only hope is Xiao Beishu who is the closest to her.

However, Xiao Beishu's disguised Gao Yi was no different from that group of people, with lewd smiles on his face that were about to show off his animal desires.

Now that she had no other choice but to run away, Ruan Yunting's thoughts couldn't turn for a moment, she turned around, lifted her skirt and ran to the east desperately.

She had never run so fast before, and her heart was about to burst out of fear.In the previous two lives, she was caught off guard when she experienced death. Where did she get the chance to be afraid?But now, being chased by a dozen big men behind her, she knew that she would not be able to escape the bad luck of being molested and toyed with, her fear had expanded infinitely, and even when facing the emperor Longyan's fury, she didn't had this feeling.

However, even though she had the energy to do "strength work" in the trial court, her body was stronger than that of ordinary girls, but she was sick and exhausted, and even if she was not sick, it would be impossible to escape this Chased by grown men.But after a while, Ruan Yunting felt that someone behind her grabbed her arm and brought her into the arms of someone wearing soft armor.

"what!!"

Ruan Yunting struggled and screamed in disgust, but the man covered her mouth and scolded in her ear, "Run!"

As soon as the words fell, she was led to run half-hugged and half-hugged, much faster than running by herself just now.

It's Xiao Beishu!Ruan Yunting felt a little at ease, Xiao Beishu didn't save her just now, was it to dispel the suspicion of this group of people?
"General Gao, why are you helping that little girl!" shouted a guard behind him.

Xiao Beishu ran wildly with Ruan Yunting, and said: "The master wants to overthrow the dog emperor for the benefit of the common people. If we kill innocent people, what is the difference between us and the dog emperor's people!"

"She listened to our secret, she should die!"

"She's just a girl!"

"General Gao, if you don't let her go, don't blame the brothers for turning their heads and denying her!"

"impossible!"

Xiao Beishu didn't speak anymore, but the hand holding Ruan Yunting's arm was stronger, and the speed of his feet was also faster. Ruan Yunting was pulled, and couldn't keep up with his pace at all.

"Whoosh!" A feathered arrow sank into the bushes on the right front.

Ruan Yunting let out a soft cry in fright.Before waiting for a reaction, Xiao Beishu pulled her to turn around, and ran to the depths of the misty forest in front left.

The people behind seemed to be tired from chasing and running, and they untied the bows and arrows they carried with them one after another, and they no longer cared about "Gao Yi", and they wanted to shoot them to death with random arrows.

Ruan Yunting ran out of breath, her heart seemed to be jumping out of her mouth, and her legs were no longer her own.The arm held by Xiao Beishu was unbearably painful because of his too much force, and being dragged down by her like this, Xiao Beishu might also be buried with her.

"Brother Xiao." Ruan Yunting called out hoarsely.

Xiao Beishu hugged her hard, and the two of them turned around. At the same time, three feathered arrows were nailed to the big tree where they were just now.

"Go on your own, leave me alone." Ruan Yunting pushed Xiao Beishu feebly.They have already run some distance now, if it was Xiao Beishu himself, it should be easy to escape.

Xiao Beishu didn't say a word, but held her arm even harder.

Ruan Yunting was out of breath, and the cold air could ignite the fire in her chest and throat.Now every time I breathe, it hurts like a needle prick.

"I, I can't do it."

"Hold on."

As soon as Xiao Beishu finished speaking, several more feathered arrows sank into the spot where the two of them just ran.

Even though Xiao Beishu was holding her half in his arms, she still couldn't keep up with her steps, and fell forward staggeringly. When Ruan Yunting closed her eyes, the pain hit her, her wrists and knees ached. After falling, she fell His mind went blank for a moment, seeing Xiao Beishu also fell on top of him, he thought it must be the force of her fall that pulled him down.

At this moment, Xiao Beishu groaned.Then he grabbed her vigorously and ran to the forest on the left.

Ruan Yunting didn't touch the ground, and was carried by Xiao Beishu like a bag. When she turned around, she saw a feathered arrow stuck behind his left shoulder!
"Brother Xiao!" It turned out that he had blocked an arrow for her just now!
"Do not talk."

Blood quickly stained Xiao Beishu's soft armor red, and his speed also dropped significantly.Even so, he still did not let go of Ruan Yunting.

Tears welled up in Ruan Yunting's eyes, she was frightened, moved, and desperate.Are they going to be buried here together today?
The deeper you go into the dense forest, the darker it becomes, and the fog gets heavier.The visibility in front of him was no more than three paces, and the archer behind him lost his aim, but the voice of the people was getting closer.Not to mention whether the people behind can catch them, if they continue running like this, they will probably get lost in the woods.There are many wild beasts, and their danger is not eliminated by fleeing from those behind them.

Ruan Yunting knew this very well, and Xiao Beishu knew it even more.But there are chasing soldiers behind, and the future is uncertain. Their only choice is to move forward.

At this moment, the two felt that their feet were empty, Ruan Yunting exclaimed, her body fell rapidly, and fell into the water almost instantly.The water was almost a battle deep, and Ruan Yunting couldn't react in time, so she drank several sips of water.Fortunately, she knows how to swim, so she floated to the surface together with Xiao Beishu.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Ting'er, are you okay!"

"I'm okay."

The two paddled the water and groped to find the four walls of the cave, only to find that the water in the middle was very deep, and the water became shallower as they went to one side.Xiao Beishu took Ruan Yunting's hand, barely reached a bump in the stone, and let her stand on it.Even so, the water still covered Ruan Yunting's calf, and Xiao Beishu's half body was in the water.

It was dark all around, and the damp and dark walls and water reflected a little bit of light from the hole.But he could only vaguely see the surrounding environment.This should be a natural cellar, with a diameter of about two feet at the bottom and a depth of four or five feet. The diameter becomes smaller as you go up, and the hole is only as big as the wellhead, and it is mostly covered by weeds.It was precisely because it was not easy to be found here in the dark that the two fell down unprepared.

"Brother Xiao, you..."

"Shh!"

Xiao Beishu covered Ruan Yunting's mouth.

At the same time, a distant and weak conversation sounded from above.

"What about people!"

"Impossible gone!"

"It's near here, search carefully! If we let her tell the truth, all of us will die!"

"Don't let go of any clues, and also, pay attention to the tree, they don't climb the tree!"

"Yes!"

……

There was the rustling of grass blades from above.Ruan Yunting was drenched against the wall and trembling, Xiao Beishu kept covering her mouth with his hand, both of them looked up at the movement above, not daring to make any sound.Ruan Yunting let out a sigh of relief until the voices of talking and searching gradually faded away, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Xiao, they're leaving."

"Yes, we are temporarily out of danger." Xiao Beishu's voice was a little weak.

Only then did Ruan Yunting see that the feathered arrow on his left shoulder was still stuck.

"Brother Xiao, what should I do, your shoulder."

"It's not in the way." Xiao Beishu Anwei smiled in the darkness, stretched out his right hand and moved the arrow body a little, making sure that no bones were hurt, and then he pulled it out forcefully.

With a pop, blood spurted out.Xiao Beishu snorted.

"Brother Xiao!"

Ruan Yunting grabbed the long skirt in a hurry, but both of them were already soaked, how could it be used to bandage and stop bleeding?In all three lifetimes, this was the bloodiest scene Ruan Yunting had ever seen. Holding a wet cloth, she didn't know how to help him.

"It's okay, give it to me." Xiao Beishu took the cloth strip, bit one end with his teeth, wrapped his right hand around the shoulder blade, thought about the direction of the large blood vessels in the shoulder, and strangled the cloth strip to stop the bleeding.

In the darkness, Ruan Yunting couldn't see whether Xiao Beishu's blood had stopped, so she could only reach out to touch it, but it was still warm and sticky.

"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped."

"Really?" Ruan Yunting trembled all over.

Xiao Beishu said: "Yes, it's just a skin injury, it's not a serious problem. But if this doesn't work, you'll get sick from the cold."

"I'm fine. Who is the person above?"

Xiao Beishu's thick brows were tightly frowned, hesitation appeared on his face, and he said after a while: "Since you've heard it all, I can't hide it from you. Those people should be members of some secret organization. I was in Liangcheng before, and I accidentally discovered Gao This trip was intended to assassinate the emperor. But because there is no evidence, he would not believe it when he told the emperor. It happened that I heard that you were also in the team. I was worried about your safety, and I didn't want the emperor to die suddenly. The world is in turmoil. I just tried to stun Gao Yi, handed it over to a friend, and asked a friend to help me change my appearance, sneak in, firstly, to protect you, and secondly, to observe their movements."
