Qin Hui was miserable. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. He was living an ignoble existence, even though he was afraid that he would die if he told him. When he was about to struggle for the last time, Zhang Xian's palm grabbed the aorta of his neck. Immediately, there was a burst of heart-gnawing and bone-gnawing pain. Pain penetrated into the bottom of my heart, and a large amount of sweat rolled out on my forehead.
Yue Pengju said in a deep voice: "If you find Hua Rong, you still have a way to survive. If you can't find her, you will die..."
Qin Hui's breath was dying: "Is there still... a way to survive?"
"I don't want to be held accountable by the court. Anyway, you are also the Fourth Prince's spy. You and I know it very well!"
Qin Hui knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, he would really have a dead end. All the glory and wealth would be just a dream, so he might as well just deal with it for a while, stalling for time and see if anything could turn around.
"Quickly tell me, where is it?"
"Thirty miles to the southeast..."
Zhang Xian glanced at Yue Pengju, who nodded.
Kidnapping Qin Hui was not a trivial matter, so Yue Pengju and Zhang Xian broke in alone without even bringing the elite soldiers. He was afraid that Qin Hui's identity would be exposed, so Zhang Xian was already prepared, gagged his mouth tightly and took a The big sack threw Qin Hui in, covering his head and face, and tied him behind his back. Then he hit the horse and the two of them ran forward quickly.
On the hill in front, eighteen guards were waiting. In the dark night, Zhang Xian was carrying a large sack on his back. He didn't know what it was, let alone asked. Yue Pengju gave an order, and everyone ran towards the southeast.
The fast horse was galloping. At the big intersection ahead, the horse's hooves suddenly lifted up, and a gentle voice sounded like a low sigh, so sad and sad: "Pengju, Pengju..."
There was a "buzzing" sound in his head, and he pressed the horse's head, and his heart boiled like a tide. It was his wife, it was his wife who was in danger. He had been with her for more than ten years, and every time she was in danger, he would be like this. It feels as if someone is holding a knife and striking hard on my heart to remind me.
"Sister Seventeen...Sister..."
He didn't know whether his voice came from his heart or his mouth. He just grabbed the horse's mane fiercely, raised his whip and ran forward as hard as he could.
Outside the town.
After several consecutive snowfalls, the sky in the South has become covered with silver, which is particularly enchanting. This is a magnificent manor, with red bricks and green tiles, and beautiful cornices. It brings together the most outstanding architectural masterpieces of the Southern Dynasty. The bright glazed tiles are beautiful The door is magnificent, with exquisite carvings decorating it, especially a pair of jade unicorns carved in imposing navy blue on the two-foot-tall door. Outside the door, there is a pair of jade unicorns commonly seen in traditional wealthy homes. lion.
There is a very elegant couplet written on the door:
Spring is full of peach blossoms
I don’t know where to find the source of immortality
These are two sentences from a poem written by Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty when he was 19 years old. However, the style of the house is somewhat inconsistent with the quiet atmosphere of Taoyuan seclusion in these two sentences. Like the style of many wealthy families, the doorway The guarded servants were all dressed cheerfully and looked rich and noble. They looked harmonious on the outside. No one knew that in the dark, some heavily armed plainclothes guards had already monitored the surroundings.
Quiet.
There was silence in the air, and only the sunlight filtered in through the silk flower window paper, mottled like a freehand painting.
At this moment, Jin Wushu's hand was violently pushed forward, and the tip of the sword was moved forward. He only heard a scream, and Hua Rong fell back.
Blood dripped down the tip of the sword drop by drop, falling on the snow-white carpet on the ground, as if a beautiful flower had bloomed. On Hua Rong's neck, the new wound had completely covered the old one, but that scar It's so obvious, but it still stands out, as if it's angry, so uneven.
But her body was completely limp on the big chair, her eyes were closed, and she had already collapsed.
Jin Wushu's eyes fell on Hua Rong, but he didn't dare to take another look. The long sword in his hand slowly trembled. Dead? Is this woman dead after all? Or did he die by his own hands
Such bloody redness completely stimulated Wang Junhua. She screamed, but immediately remained calm. The woman was not dead yet. She was so flustered that she used improper force and failed to control the sword. The stab missed and only scratched Hua Rong's neck. She saw the Fourth Prince in a daze and became excited, but she did not dare to restrain the sword in the Fourth Prince's hand. She has always been a person who is good at seizing opportunities, so she simply did nothing to get rid of this serious problem.
She made an extremely bold move at this time. She suddenly squatted down and picked up the big knife on the ground. It was the same knife that Hua Rong threw at her just now and was knocked down by Jin Wushu. While the fourth prince was in a daze, he quietly Then he cut it towards Hua Rong.
With a "dang" sound, the big knife was knocked to the ground, and she was slapped hard on the face: "How dare you make your own decisions!"
She covered her face in disbelief and was about to cry, but when she came into contact with the fourth prince's terrifying and ferocious gaze, she couldn't even cry and just kept backing away.
Jin Wushu's eyes became extremely scary, and the long sword in his hand suddenly changed direction. An angry emotion spread, this woman actually dared to push her even further, step by step, she was so pampered!
But, God knows, I already feel sick looking at her body.
It was the first time that Wang Junhua saw his eyes like this, and an extremely terrifying feeling surged in his heart. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he was trembling. His consciousness was so clear: The fourth prince wants to kill him!
The man I love the most wants to kill me!
Why should he kill himself? Just because of that woman
Jin Wushu took another step forward, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and a guard came in hurriedly: "Oh no, someone is coming here to kill..."
Jin Wushu sobered up slightly: "Who is it?"
"Everyone coming here is wearing black clothes and covering their faces. I don't know who they are."
In broad daylight, he was still wearing black clothes and his face was covered. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
His expression changed drastically: "Let's go quickly. Everyone retreats immediately."
"yes."
Wang Junhua breathed a sigh of relief and finally cried: "Master, what should I do with the slave family?"
He said sternly: "You go out through the back door, and you must not reveal your whereabouts at all. When you get back, I will naturally tell you what to do."
"yes."
She was still thinking about the unconscious Hua Rong and said hurriedly: "Kill her quickly. It would be bad if Yue Pengju comes after her..."
In the blink of an eye, he saw that this woman still dared to think about this matter!
"Fourth Prince, kill her quickly. For your safety, the person coming must be Yue Pengju... Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous... Hurry up... If you can't do it, I will help you..."
When Jin Wushu saw her entangled with herself, the tip of his sword suddenly turned in a different direction: "Are you leaving?"
Wang Junhua didn't dare to say anything anymore, turned around and ran away.
Outside, the sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid, and Jin Wushu didn't know who it was. However, if he could find his identity here, his plans would be greatly affected. Especially, if it was Yue Pengju, I really don't know what would happen. Terrible twists and turns.
Without hesitation, he reached out to hug the unconscious Hua Rong and got into the carriage that had been prepared outside. Two well-trained grooms immediately drove their horses to the third side door.
Behind them were more than ten carefully selected guards in civilian clothes. The situation was urgent at this time, and more than ten fast horses protected the carriage and ran forward in a hurry.
The carriage was driven by a four-horse, the driver was very skilled, and there were only two people in the carriage. The fast horse started running, as if it was galloping, and soon the sound of the carriage behind it was far away...
Yue Peng took the lead with his horse and ran at the front. The morning sun shone on the horse's back, and the horse's dark mane emitted a jet-black light.
In the distance, the door was closed tightly, and two or three servants guarding it, holding long guns in their hands, yelled as usual: "Who is coming?"
"Open the door quickly and ask your master to come out..."
When the servants saw that the visitor was not good, they were beaten to the ground in two or three moves. One of the servants was clever and immediately opened the door and ran inside crying: "Master, it's not good, there are thieves coming to rob..."
A trembling old man was supported by two little maids and came out with a cane. His teeth and hair were all bald: "Who dares to be so bold in broad daylight? I don't even know where this place is. I am so impatient." ?”
When Yue Pengju saw the old man's attire, he knew something was strange, so he immediately turned his horse's head. At this time, from the left, a guard rode over and whispered: "We found a woman going out..."
"Get her!"
"Already got it."
Yue Pengju didn't say much and immediately chased to the left.
This very rich and noble courtyard has a very wide area. There are no other people's houses along the way, so it seems a bit remote. Yue Pengju rode his horse over, and in a secluded place in the forest, he saw that the guards had escorted a woman forward. The woman looked down. The woman with disheveled hair, swollen cheeks, and obvious dried blood stains on her face was none other than Wang Junhua. She was escorted by several guards and escaped. However, when she came out of the side door, she was intercepted by several guards who were scattered by Yue Pengju to search. There was a fierce fight. Catch her.
Although Hua Rong had seen Wang Junhua many times, Yue Pengju had never seen her before and did not know her. However, seeing how strange this woman was, he shouted, "Wang Junhua, what are you doing here?"
When Wang Junhua heard him say his name in one gulp, and saw that he was masked, he was obviously an "acquaintance" of his, but he didn't know that he actually didn't know him. He panicked, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life..." "
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"The slave family is visiting relatives and friends..."
"Why would you end up with a bruised nose and face while visiting relatives and friends? It's obvious that you have a guilty conscience..."
"The slave family encountered danger and fell down..."
Yue Pengju took a closer look at her face. There was a fresh scar on one side from her forehead to her face. It was obviously an injury. How could she be so embarrassed if she was visiting relatives and friends? Apparently there was a fight. He was worried about his wife's safety. Seeing Wang Junhua acting like this, he was even more suspicious that Hua Rong had fallen into her hands.
Now that he was sure it was Wang Junhua, Yue Pengju was not polite, jumped off the horse and grabbed her, shouting: "Where is Hua Rong?"
"I don't know the Nu family... Who is Hua Rong?" Wang Junhua burst into tears and said pitifully: "The Nu family is a relative... "
This bitch actually had the same reaction as Qin Hui, she was indeed a family.
"Relatives, who are your relatives in this family?"
"This is a distant relative of the Nu family, a cousin of the Chai family... If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate..."
Yue Pengju's heart sank when he heard this. After this dynasty established its own world, Taizu took over the kingdom from the Chai Shizong family of the Later Zhou Dynasty, so he secretly ordered to treat the descendants of the Chai family well and preserve the wealth of the Chai family. The Chai family has lived in the north for a long time. Thinking that there are branches in Jiangnan? If it weren't for the Chai family, who else could be so wealthy? But, what is the relationship between the Chai family and Wang Junhua? He was glad that he retreated quickly before and did not encounter the Chai people.
