married daughter

Chapter 324 Chapter 373~374

Jun Lanzhou was startled and covered in cold sweat. The knife was cut on him or Xiao Beishu, and they could bear it, but if it fell on Ruan Yunting... If Xiao Beishu hadn't reacted quickly just now Let's go all out, Ruan Yunting might already be covered in blood.

Jun Lanzhou originally pulled Ruan Yunting's soft hand, but she still felt that it was a bit irresistible, but now she simply put her arms around her slender waist and hugged her into her arms. Take good care of her.

However, although Jun Lanzhou knows kung fu, it is not extremely good. The purpose of practicing kung fu on weekdays is to strengthen the body. It is already difficult to deal with one or two opponents who are fighting for their lives, let alone protect Ruan Yun Ting?
Xiao Beishu's kung fu was much better than Jun Lanzhou's, but his two fists were no match for four hands, and his right arm was injured. In addition, the man in black on the roof would shoot an arrow when he was cold, the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Why, don't hand over the jade pendant yet!"

Xiao Beishu blushed with sweat, dodged a knife in the face, and said anxiously: "I really don't have the jade pendant you mentioned!"

"I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!" The man in black had already lost his patience, "If you don't hand over the jade pendant again, don't blame our ruthless subordinates, we will take your friend first!"

"Brother, they are protecting this chick, kill her first!" A person beside him suggested.

As soon as the words fell, the people on the roof pointed their arrows at them, and the rest of the men in black also changed directions, and they all attacked Ruan Yunting in Jun Lanzhou's arms.

Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou's heart trembled. After fighting for a long time, they were already exhausted, and their reactions were not as quick as they were at first. Moreover, these people all aimed at Ruan Yunting alone, and both of them were a little powerless.After a few moves, they were defeated by the cooperative attack of the four and the force of sporadic arrows. Ruan Yunting was snatched away by the leader of the men in black.The big knife was on her neck.

"Stop it all." The man in black said calmly.

"Ting'er!"

Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou exclaimed at the same time, and wanted to step forward, but the man tightened the knife in his hand. If they made any rash moves, Ruan Yunting's head would fall to the ground.

"By this time, you still haven't handed over Yu Pei?"

The man in black looked at Xiao Beishu coldly, and sent the knife in his hand.

While Ruan Yunting was terrified, she felt a chill on her neck, followed by a burning pain.The tender skin of the neck had been cut with a thin cut, and a drop of blood slid along the blade to the tip, and dropped to the ground from the tip.

"Ting'er! Let her go and tell me if you have anything to do. Don't you feel ashamed to use a weak woman as a threat!" Xiao Beishu's eyes turned red with anxiety.

On the other hand, Jun Lanzhou squinted his bright peach blossom eyes, clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, his whole body was tense, ready to go, and only waited for the opportunity to find a way to rescue him.

Ruan Yunting was conflicted, those people said they wanted the jade pendant, but who could guarantee that they would be safe and sound after handing over the jade pendant?Moreover, there is a mysterious power behind the jade pendant. When Han Su gave the jade pendant to her, she has not had any troubles. Does this mean that she is recognized as the owner of the jade pendant?If she handed over the jade pendant, would it not end well in the future?But if she doesn't teach, she will die soon.

"Shame?" The man in black sneered: "Those who make big things don't care about small things, if you don't want her to die, then hand over the jade pendant, otherwise..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden "plop" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him.

Under the restraint of that person, Ruan Yunting was unable to observe what happened behind her, but Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou could see clearly.

Just now, black shadows came rushing in, and the four archers were dealt with in the upper room, and the sound of the landing was the sound of the bodies of the four falling.

The people in black in the alley were startled, they never expected their own people to be killed silently in an instant. When they panicked, the people on the roof had already jumped down, and went straight to attack the four remaining men in black in the alley. Come, at the end of the alley, there are mixed footsteps from far to near, obviously a large number of people are coming.

Jun Lanzhou's spirit was shaken, the person who came to help him was very skilled in martial arts, so he didn't need to intervene at all.

The man in black who held Ruan Yunting hostage drove her back with a knife, and Jun Lanzhou flew over to block his way to prevent him from escaping. He wanted to exchange a look with Xiao Beishu, but when he turned around, he found Xiao Beishu looking at the ground. The eyes of those who were fighting were a little astonished.

Jun Lanzhou and Xiao Beishu have known each other for many years, and he almost knows what every expression and movement of his represents.Why did you show such an expression when you should be feeling happy?

Xiao Beishu's astonishment was only for a moment, as if he felt Jun Lanzhou's gaze, and when he looked over, he was already full of joy.

Jun Lanzhou was full of doubts, and he suspected that he had lost his eyes in the night. When he turned around, he found that the other three men in black had been taken down, and only the one holding Ruan Yunting was left leaning against the wall, with the blade tightly pressed against the wall. around her neck.

At this time, a group of people quickly arrived in front of them. More than a dozen men in the uniforms of the Xiwu Kingdom surrounded the men in black. Come, came to Jun Lanzhou and said, "Are you all right?"

Jun Lanzhou smiled gratefully: "I'm fine, thank you adoptive father." She looked worriedly at Ruan Yunting who was being held hostage in the circle: "Father foster, please try to rescue him."

Jun Lanzhou knew that with Prince Duan's character, he would definitely make a fuss about being assassinated on the territory of Daliang Kingdom as the Minister of Rites of Xiwu Kingdom today, but it might not be true because he was his righteous man. son.Ruan Yunting is just a little girl in Daliang country, Prince Duan may have seen the people of Liang country killing each other, Ruan Yunting's life and death has nothing to do with him.

How can others know about Prince Duan's thoughts?Hearing Jun Lanzhou's words, Prince Duan secretly felt comforted. It was indeed right to choose Jun Lanzhou to protect his daughter.

But it is inconvenient to reveal Ruan Yunting's identity now, Prince Duan has to do enough drama for others to watch.He walked outside the encirclement with his hands behind his back, and said to the man in black: "Let her go, tell me who sent you here, and you will not die."

"Joke! I, I will be afraid of you, a barbarian from Xiwu Kingdom!" The man in black tightened his arms holding Ruan Yunting: "Stand back, let my people go! Otherwise, I will kill her !"

Ruan Yunting was strangled almost out of breath, and was forced to raise her neck to avoid the blade.

Seeing her painful expression, both Jun Lanzhou and Xiao Beishu were anxious: "Let her go, otherwise you will definitely die today!"

When Prince Duan saw the bloodstain on Ruan Yunting's neck, his eyebrows moved, but he didn't show any anxiety, and said nonchalantly, "Okay, you can just kill her if you want to, what has it to do with me?! Without her, it’s just missing a Liang countryman!”

Prince Duan's indifferent attitude made the man in black feel confused. Is it really impossible to use Ruan Yunting as a threat?
Jun Lanzhou took a step forward and pleaded: "Father, please help her, she is innocent!"

"Back off." Prince Duan repelled Jun Lanzhou with a sullen face, separated from the crowd, walked into the encirclement, and looked directly at the person: "Why are you dawdling? If you want her, just kill her as soon as possible, so as not to get in the way Yes, make my people unable to move to catch you!"

Prince Duan meant that he didn't want to stir up disputes between Xiwu and Daliang, so his subordinates couldn't hurt Ruan Yunting.But if Ruan Yunting died in the hands of Daliang people, it would not be their Xiwu people's fault.

The man in black swallowed his saliva, and the sword in his hand trembled a little.

"You, don't think I won't kill her!"

"You kill, hurry up, this king doesn't have that much patience!"

"Father, Ting'er can't die, you can't let her go!"

……

The scene was chaotic, and Ruan Yunting was having difficulty breathing because of the unconsciously tightened arm of the person behind her. Could it be that she was really going to die here today?Of course, Xiwu people don't care about her life or death. What they want is to maximize their interests. Obviously, the assassination of Jun Lanzhou can already make a big fuss.

At this time, it is no longer a question of whether to hand over the jade pendant, but a question of how to survive.

Ruan Yunting was flustered, and her fear expanded, but in the face of absolute force, she really couldn't think of a way to save herself for a while.

At this moment, the man in black looked around for a week, looked at the other three men in black who had been pinned down by the Xiwu guards, and looked at Xiao Beishu unwillingly, then gritted his teeth, and a dark red blood flowed from the The words flowed out of his mouth, and landed on Ruan Yunting's body. The steel knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the man also took two steps back, and fell down against the wall.

The strong restraint behind her disappeared in an instant, and Ruan Yunting almost fell down.The guards beside Prince Duan immediately stepped forward and pulled Ruan Yunting out of the encirclement.Jun Lanzhou hurriedly pulled Ruan Yunting's wrist to protect her behind her.

At the same time, the other three men in black, like the man in black, were bleeding from the corners of their mouths and collapsed to the ground.Apparently, it was poisonous that would kill you if you swallowed it.

Ruan Yunting was still in shock, and tried to calm herself down, the pain in her neck kept reminding her of the fact that she was held and almost died just now.But no matter what, she is out of danger now, and she can't show her weak side, making people laugh.

Thinking this way in her heart, Ruan Yunting's expression gradually calmed down, and she behaved as usual, saluting Prince Duan, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me." I'm severing myself here, but at any rate, it can be regarded as helping them out of the crisis.If he hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how things would have developed.

Prince Duan looked at his daughter's face unobtrusively, and saw that she was really fine, and she did not lose control of her emotions like an ordinary daughter's family when encountering such a big event, she was still as calm as before, with the demeanor of a general, and felt in a good mood right now, and loved Ruan Yunting And love is also more.

Perfectly hiding all emotions, Prince Duan said "hmm" and looked at Jun Lanzhou: "Zhou'er, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you foster father for the timely rescue." Jun Lanzhou withdrew his eyes from Ruan Yunting, and also hid his distressed emotions.Ruan Yunting must have been terrified, this kind of danger still happened under his nose, he felt guilty besides guilt.

Prince Duan patted Jun Lanzhou on the shoulder kindly, and raised his voice to order everyone, "Bring the corpses of these people back to the Huitong Hall, and also, immediately order someone to inform the Daliang people about the assassination of our Xiwu envoy, and let them give it to you." come up with a statement."

"As ordered!"

The entourage responded, and Prince Duan looked at Ruan Yunting and Xiao Beishu again, "You guys experienced today's incident together, which can be regarded as a witness, so follow me to the same hall, and I will see your senior officials later. It's good to have an explanation." The tone paused, looking at Ruan Yunting's neck, "Your injuries also need to be healed."

Ruan Yunting knew that this was an inevitable procedure, so she nodded, and turned back to look worriedly at Xiao Beishu, who was covering his arms. The blood had already wet half of his sleeve, and was still flowing from his fingers. .

"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Ruan Yunting ran to him and supported him worriedly.If it wasn't for her, with his martial arts, why would he suffer such a serious injury.

Xiao Beishu's heart felt warm, and he suppressed the pain and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound."

Prince Duan knew that Xiao Beishu's injury was probably because of Ruan Yunting, so he had a good impression of him, and immediately ordered someone to quickly invite the doctor to the Huitong Hall.On the other hand, he ordered someone to prepare the car, and asked Ruan Yunting, Xiao Beishu and Jun Lanzhou to get in the car.

The officials of Daliang State were very efficient in handling affairs. When Prince Duan led the crowd back to the Huitong Hall, he saw Prince Yu and Han Su get off their respective carriages.

Seeing Prince Duan, Prince Yu stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Prince Duan, I heard that the envoy of Xiwu Kingdom was assassinated, is your lord safe?"

"Thanks to Lord Yu, I'm fine, but my adopted son was frightened, and his two friends were also injured."

Prince Yu's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he looked worriedly at Jun Lanzhou who was helping Xiao Beishu out of the car.Immediately he said angrily: "There is such a thing?! Dare to act wildly in the capital of Liang Kingdom and attack your country's envoys. The gangsters are nothing more than provoking relations between our two countries, and their hearts are to be punished!"

"Prince Yu is right, but you still have to ask about the situation before you know. Both Mr. Xiao and Miss Ruan in your country have been injured to varying degrees. Let the doctor show them first, and we will find out after asking. "

"What Prince Duan said is, please come inside."

"Please!"

The two princes were in front, each stretching out their hands as a gesture of invitation.

Han Su and Jun Lanzhou stood side by side.But their eyes looked at Ruan Yunting who was supporting Xiao Beishu behind him in unison.Her moon-white uniform was stained with blood, and it had now turned brown.Although it is not her blood, it still reminds people of the crisis scene at that time.

When he turned his head, Han Su looked at Jun Lanzhou with more reproach.If it wasn't for his poor protection, how could Ruan Yunting be injured!
Jun Lanzhou naturally knew what Han Su's look meant, and he didn't want to argue with him about the theory, and he blamed himself at first, so he restrained his mind and walked all the way to the courtyard of the Huitong Pavilion, which was exclusively for their envoys from the Xiwu Kingdom.

The doctor had arrived at this moment, and he cut off Xiao Beishu's robe sleeves neatly, and the dried blood stuck the inner garment to his arm. It took a lot of effort to treat the wound.

The wound on Ruan Yunting's neck was treated very well, and it was fine after just rubbing the medicine.It's just that her skin is fair and flawless, as if carved from a whole piece of high-quality suet white jade, but now there is an extra blemish, I don't know if it will leave a scar...

Han Su looked distressed.

Jun Lanzhou was even more guilty.Because no one knows the reason why Ruan Yunting didn't wear wide-sleeved skirts anymore, it was because of the scars on her wrists for him, and now the wound on her neck was also obtained under his nose, he sorry for her...

The doctor treated Xiao Beishu's deep and visible wound, and after bandaging it, ordered someone to decoct the medicine and push it down.At this time, only Prince Yu, Han Su, Prince Duan, Jun Lanzhou, Xiao Beishu and Ruan Yunting were left in the wing room.

Prince Yu said: "Prince Duan, please tell me about the scene at that time in detail."

Prince Duan looked at Jun Lanzhou: "Zhou'er, it's up to you."

"Yes." Jun Lanzhou stood up upon hearing the words, and replied respectfully.

The intimate "Zhou'er" made Prince Yu feel mixed. Seeing Jun Lanzhou and Prince Duan being so close, he wished that he was Prince Duan.But this stubborn child just refused to recognize him.Now he really wants to grab Jun Lanzhou's shoulder and ask him how he can forgive his father, but there are so many people present, and he has business to do, as a prince, he can't lose his composure in front of the people of Xiwu, what he can do, Just listen quietly and be patient.

"...The group of people have been asking Mr. Xiao to hand over the jade pendant. Mr. Xiao didn't have it, so they started fighting. Taking advantage of our loss, the group took Miss Ruan as a hostage and threatened Mr. Xiao to hand over the jade pendant." Jun Lan When Zhou said this, he backed away.

Both Prince Yu and Prince Duan had abnormal expressions on their faces.They looked at Xiao Beishu suspiciously.

Xiao Beishu's face was pale, and he smiled helplessly.

Han Su asked suspiciously: "Did the other party say what kind of jade pendant it is?"

Jun Lanzhou gestured with his hand: "It's such a big sapphire jade pendant with bat patterns."

As soon as the words were finished, Prince Duan, Prince Yu and Han Su all changed their expressions and became terrified.

Isn't that his token to Ruan Yunting?Han Su opened his mouth to prophesy, but Prince Yu secretly pulled the sleeve of his robe.Looking in astonishment, he saw that Lord Yu shook his head at him without a trace, and Han Su swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

However, both Prince Duan and Prince Yu are masters at playing tricks and have a strong ability to hide their emotions. Ruan Yunting can only see Han Su's surprise, Prince Duan and Prince Yu are very calm.Han Su should be surprised, because he recognized their token of Guiyun Pavilion.But Prince Duan is also so calm, which only shows the depth of his city.Because if she hadn't been injured in the academy and accidentally dropped the jade pendant and was seen by Prince Duan, where would she have "Xiuyan Pill" to take?Apart from her own death, wouldn't the Xu family have the chance to keep the remaining [-]% of the pills?
There is a tacit understanding. After mentioning the sapphire bat pattern jade pendant, Prince Duan and Prince Yu did not continue to investigate the matter. Those people in black on the left and right have all died in Huangquan, and there is no proof of death. It is not easy to track down.

If Prince Duan didn't pursue it, Prince Yu was of course happy and relaxed. Seeing that there was nothing serious, it was convenient for Han Su to leave the Huitong Hall together.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

study.

Prince Yu was reclining in an armchair, lazily playing with the enamel and filigree teacup in his hand.Compared with his leisure, Han Su is like a young leopard full of vigor.

"Father, why didn't you let me tell about the jade pendant just now?"

Lord Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Han Su and said bluntly: "You can also hear that the jade pendant is the one you gave to Ruan Yunting?"

Han Sulue was taken aback, thinking that since Prince Yu knew that he was the master of Guiyun Pavilion, he naturally also knew that he had given Ruan Yunting jade pendant as a token back then.What's more, the sapphire bat-pattern jade pendant was originally something he had brought with him since he was a child. According to his mother and concubine, it was given to him by his father.This is also the reason why he hesitated a little when he handed the jade pendant to Ruan Yunting.But at that time, he thought that if he wanted to give it, he had to give Ruan Yunting the best, and what his father gave him was naturally the best, so he didn't hesitate to give it to Ruan Yunting.

Although he already has a concubine, thinking of Ruan Yunting, his heart still hurts, he straightened his expression, and said: "Yes, I can tell that it is the one I gave to her. Father, why did those people look for Xiao Xiao?" Master asks for the jade pendant? What is the origin of the jade pendant that makes people want to get it at all costs?"

Lord Yu looked at Han Su for a moment, and said, "You are too old, so there are some things that you don't need to hide from you. You probably don't know the origin of that jade pendant yet?"

"My child would like to hear about it."

Prince Yu said: "The Great Two Kingdoms have been passed down to your uncle's area, and it has been passed down to the fourth generation. When the great grandfather founded the country, the great grandfather's mother Xiuyan once left a treasure."

"Treasure?" Han Su is of royal blood, so he naturally knows more about the history of the royal family than ordinary people. From the perspective of ordinary people, the "clairvoyance" and "thundering thunder" recorded by Taizu when he founded the country are all It was something extremely mythical, but Han Su knew that there was indeed that kind of weapon at the time, but it was later taken back by the government, and it is unknown where it was transported.

"Father, are those treasures..."

"That's right, that's what the rumors say, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in the treasure. Empress Xiuyan handed over the treasure map and the key to Grandpa Taizu and General Fu Qing respectively. The key is The sapphire bat pattern jade pendant. Speaking of this, I have to say that the sapphire bat pattern jade pendant has appeared three times in history."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the sapphire bat-pattern jade pendant was in the hands of Fu Qing, the general of the Xiwu Kingdom. At that time, the war between the two countries was on the verge of breaking out. If it really fought, it would be a disaster. Emperor Taizu exchanged the sapphire bat-pattern jade pendant and promised Fu Qing From then on, General Qing supported the independence of Xiwu Kingdom, as long as he exchanged the jade pendant. General Fu Qing agreed, so the first time the jade pendant appeared, Xiwu Kingdom became independent. This matter has been passed around, and there are many rumors outside, you should also I've heard about one or two."

"Yes, my child has seen it from unofficial history, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Your father, what I said is the truth. This sapphire bat-pattern jade pendant is also so evil. It was stolen not long after returning to Liang State. After more than 70 years, two generations of emperors searched and visited, and finally found it on the body of a little beggar. Found it. This beggar is quite talented, a talent that can be created, and your grandfather valued talents very much and was easy to approach, so he took back the jade pendant and promoted this beggar."

"The beggar is really lucky." Han Su said with a smile.

"Hey, if he didn't have the good luck to get the sapphire bat pattern jade pendant, no matter how talented he is, he can only be a beggar. But it's such a coincidence in the world, otherwise there wouldn't be the current Jun family."

Han Su said in surprise, "Father, is that beggar the old man of the Jun family?"

"Exactly." Prince Yu took a sip of tea and said again: "However, the sapphire bat-pattern jade pendant was stolen again within a few years after returning to the palace."
