By the time the battlefield was cleaned up, the sky was already turning pale. When the wind blew, the air was filled with the smell of blood and rusty weapons. Many bandits were desperate to escape through the river behind the mountain. The ice on the river was not frozen tightly, and many people fell into the ice due to holes. Su Rong discussed with Tang Ru'an and decided not to rescue the people, so they led the team back to Chengde.
When Lord Jin came, he was still very majestic, but when he went back, he was carried on a stretcher and looked dying. When he returned to the city, the patrolling imperial censor was shocked and hurried downstairs to ask what was going on, but as soon as he came down, he was tied up by Chen Dong's men.
When the Jinyiwei, who was thought to be doomed to die, appeared, the city patroller fainted with his eyes rolled back.
Su Rong was not moved at all. He coldly left a team of trustworthy people to guard the city gate before leading the team into the city.
Master Su San hadn't slept all night. The experience of the previous night was almost the most difficult thing he had ever experienced in his life. He was already a little exhausted, but even though he was groggy, he still hurriedly dragged Su Rong who was about to leave, and said in panic: "Rong brother, Yaoyao is missing!"
He had wanted to tell Su Rong a long time ago, but the scene last night was too chaotic, and Su Rong was so busy that he had no time to spare, so he didn't have the chance at all.
By now, he was a little choked up: "If something happens to Yaoyao, I won't be able to go back!"
I'm afraid that Mrs. Su and Mrs. He will eat him alive.
I don't know why, there are still many things that have not been dealt with, but seeing the aggrieved look of Master Su San, Su Rong couldn't help laughing. He smiled and shook his head: "Uncle San, if Yaoyao is in trouble, do you think I will still stand here?"
Master Su San had been busy all night and his throat was sore. Hearing Su Rong say this, he felt relieved, but he was still nervous: "But who is she with?"
Su Yao did not tell him all the plans, but just reminded him of what he should do. So even though he guessed in his heart that Su Yao should be prepared and was not really kidnapped, he still couldn't help but worry.
After asking once, he didn't wait for Su Rong to answer, and asked again belatedly: "Why did you appear there? Did you know that Jin Dong would kill us in the name of suppressing bandits to silence us at night? Then... then did Yaoyao know that too?"
Before Su Rong could reply, Li Rui rushed in: "Third Master, Uncle, Taoist Qingyuan is back with our fourth girl!"
Taoist Priest Qingyuan
Master Su San uttered a cry, and his frozen feet became numb from standing up, and he fell back onto his seat. But he did not care about anything else and could not help but recite the Buddha's name first.
No matter what, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back alive.
He held Li Rui's hand and limped out with Su Rong. When they reached the gate of the yard, they saw a small carriage parked at the gate. Taoist Qingyuan was standing not far from the carriage, talking to Tang Ru'an and Prince Consort Tang.
It’s really Taoist Master Qingyuan!
Master Su San was a little excited. When he saw Su Yao coming down, he hurriedly called out "Yaoyao".
Su Yao was being helped down the carriage by Yan Cao. Seeing Master Su San's appearance, he was slightly startled. He stepped forward and bowed, then asked softly, "What's wrong with your leg?"
Master Su San was a little embarrassed and waved his hands hastily: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just stepped on by that bandit leader... Rong Ge has already checked it for me, he said it was just a flesh wound, it will heal soon."
He was attentive and enthusiastic, and there was a hint of uneasy flattery in his eyes as he looked at her.
Su Yao's mood suddenly became complicated.
In the previous life, no matter how much I hoped, I could not get even a caring look from him. But in this life, what I could not hope for before, I finally got it so easily.
She gathered her thoughts and said, "Master Qingyuan is also proficient in medicine. Let him take a look at you later. Third Master has been tired all night. Go wash up and rest for a while."
The smile on Master Su San's face slowly faded. It was not until today that he realized that Su Yao had never called him and Madam Su San father or mother, but always called them Third Master and Third Madam.
There was a sense of distance in the politeness.
He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he just asked awkwardly: "Are you okay? Where did you go all night..."
As they were talking, Ruan Xiaojiu, Yu Dong and Hu Ying came in. They walked over to greet Su Rong and the others first, then came over to pay their respects to Master Su San, and asked Su Yao, "Miss, that man still refused to say anything, and he had a poison sac in his mouth, and he was about to bite it open and commit suicide, but Uncle Hu dug it out."
That person? Master Su San was stunned and curious when he saw He Jian and Qing Kun dragging a person in. He couldn't help but ask with wide eyes: "Isn't this the person I met at the posthouse before?! He... .."
He Jian had already thrown the man to the ground coldly, and said expressionlessly: "He is the one who set up an ambush on the mountain to assassinate Master Bo!"
It's him!
Master Su San suddenly realized, that means, it was him who kidnapped Su Yao last night? He couldn't help but sweat.
Su Rong pointed at the sixth brother lying on the ground and asked Tang Yuan, "Does Prince Consort Tang know the details of this man?"
Tang Yuan stared at him carefully for a while and shook his head: "I don't know him... This person wants to assassinate Master Bo, so he must be an important person. Jin Dong must know him."
Su Rong said meaningfully, "Yes, I'm sure Lord Jin must know him. I wonder if Prince Consort Tang and Commander Tang are interested in asking him?"
Tang Ru'an and Tang Yuan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Since it concerns them, of course they are interested.
Su Rong waved his hand, signaling He Jian to drag Lao Liu out first, and then he came over to look at Su Yao, and finally there was a smile on his face: "Little girl, are you scared this time?"
Yan Cao's face was still a little pale. They had really experienced everything last night. First, a bandit sneaked in, and then he was beaten to death by several other people whose origins were unknown. Those people were about to attack them, but fortunately Taoist Zhang had already ambushed them, so nothing happened.
Her legs are still weak.
Su Yao smiled and said, "Yan Cao is frightened, but I know that the Taoist priest has been following me and protecting me secretly, so I am not very scared. But you, big brother, have been hiding among the bandits these days. It must be very stressful, right?"
"Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The hard work was worth it." Su Rong touched her head and asked her, "Did you find the silver?"
"Time is short, and what they are escorting is all cash. They can't transport it out, and they are worried about it even if they do, so they hid it in the tavern owned by the wife of the prefect. There are hundreds of wine jars, all filled with silver." Su Yao said with some sarcasm: "Master Jin has a really big appetite."
