Chapter 219
Everyone subconsciously wanted to flee to the direction of the capital, but was stopped by Lan Yuqin:
"It takes two hours for a horse-drawn carriage to travel from the manor to the gate of the capital, but it only takes half an hour for us to travel from the manor to this place. We are now walking on foot. If we go back to Beijing to ask for help, I am afraid it will take too much time. , is not a wise move."
It made sense for others to think about it, and quickly asked:
"Then what should we do?"
Lan Yuqin said:
"In my opinion, we might as well go back to the manor for help. The manor has fast horses, and the news can be sent back to the capital in half an hour. The convoy of Princess Tianlu and the guards of the regent's elite soldiers, together with the guards of the manor, can catch up first." Come to the rescue."
What she didn't say was that she felt that there was another reason for going to the manor to ask for help - she had an inexplicable trust in Lou Rongrong. This trust had no reason, and it was more like a strange intuition.
As soon as everyone heard that they were reasonable, they were about to nod their heads when they suddenly heard Yu Yizhu's exclamation from the tile house, followed by a deafening voice of shock and anger:
"Those girls ran away! Go after them!"
Everyone was startled, Lan Yuqin hurriedly said:
"Separate and run! It's not easy to be caught!"
Everyone hurriedly ran in different directions and fled desperately.
Unexpectedly, just at the time of sending a secret letter, all the little girls in the room ran out, and immediately became furious, and hurriedly ordered the bandits under him to arrest them.
How can the elegant and weak little girls on weekdays outrun a group of tall and strong men?Within a short time, almost all the girls who ran out were caught and their hands and feet were tied up.
One eye sullenly asked:
"Have you caught them all?"
A subordinate beside him counted the number, and said with some hesitation:
"It seems... a small one is missing."
One eye suddenly said angrily:
"Bastard! I can't even look down on the girls. Am I raising you for food?! The guests who will pick up this batch of goods will come soon, how do you want me to explain to them?!"
The subordinates hurriedly said:
"I'll let the brothers go out to chase her again! She won't run far, and the brothers are familiar with this area, and they will definitely be able to catch her back!"
At the same time, in a forest not far from here, a chubby girl with a round face surnamed Zhu woke up in the bushes with injuries all over her body.
It turned out that she ran into these forests on the way to escape, accidentally sprained her foot, rolled directly down the hillside, rolled and fell into a pile of overgrown bushes at the bottom of the slope, tilted her head, and lost consciousness.
The bandits who were chasing her looked around but didn't see her. They thought she had run away along the forest, so they hurried after her, but by some accident, they managed to escape her.
The shrubs have thorns, and the branches and leaves are sharp, which pricked the thorns all over Miss Zhu's body. When she woke up, she remembered that she was still fleeing. Regardless of the pain, she struggled to get up. Fled all the way in the direction of Feng's manor.
It was also her luck that the group of bandits searched for her all over the mountain, thinking that she had escaped from the forest, but unexpectedly she rolled directly down the hillside, and was still alive under the buffer of the bushes.
The group of bandits searched in vain, so they had no choice but to turn back. Miss Zhu ran until her lungs ached, and finally she saw the familiar manor. At this time, the servant at the gate of the manor also saw her and hurried up to meet her. I heard the little girl gasping in a hoarse voice:
"Take me... take me to see Princess Tianlu, the car... the convoy was met by bandits, sister Yu and the others... they were all taken away!"
The situation was serious, and the servant rushed to report it, and Miss Zhu, who had managed to catch her breath, was invited to the main hall. Lou Rongrong and her team rushed over after hearing the news, and even Xiao Yuer, who was displeased with Yizhu, There is no trace of frivolity.
Lou Rongrong heard that Miss Zhu's carriage was robbed, and she talked about the whole process of her escape until the end, her expression became more solemn, and when Miss Zhu finished speaking, she asked:
"When you were arrested, did you ever pay attention to how many people the other party had? How many were armed, and was there someone to respond?"
Miss Zhu looked bewildered, she stumbled and said:
"Probably... there are dozens of people, maybe hundreds? Weapons...response...I...I was too scared...I didn't pay attention..."
After the initial obsession with coming to the manor for help faded away, now that she realized it later, she couldn't help but her legs softened, and tears welled up in her eyes:
"I beg you, sister Yu and the others are still in the den of thieves, please go and save them!"
Lou Rongrong's expression was dignified. He dared to blatantly intercept and kidnap the children of high-ranking officials during the Wanhui period. If these bandits were not stupid enough to die, they were driven by sufficient interests.
She asked the steward to bring a pen and paper, wrote two letters on the spot, took out a stamped letter from her bosom, turned her head and said to the secret guard behind her:
"Take this letter, go back to Beijing quickly, and tell my brother the news. If you can't contact my brother, you can give my seal to Du Juan, and ask her to bring the Fengzi army to support, and let Chunhan bring the letter. The palace is for my brother."
The dark guard responded, Lou Rongrong stretched out his hand to Xiao Yu'er again, and spread his palm upwards, Xiao Yu'er understood, thought for a while, pulled off the hairpin that his father gave him two days ago, and put it in Lou Rongrong's palm.
Lou Rongrong handed another letter and hairpin to the dark guard, and ordered:
"Give this letter to General Xiao, the commander of the capital in front of the palace, and ask him to quickly send troops out of the city for rescue. In addition, please don't immediately notify the families whose children have been taken away. I have written the reasons for this in the letter."
Ren Mingzhao on the side suddenly said:
"And my dad, if things don't go well, you can ask my dad for help."
The dark guard glanced at her, didn't respond, but turned to look at Lou Rongrong, saw Lou Rongrong nodded, and then took the order to leave.
Next, Lou Rongrong looked at the manager of the manor and asked:
"I wonder if there are thugs and guards available in the village?"
The steward nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, yes! There are more than [-] thugs in the village, all of whom are strong, so you can rest assured!"
Lou Rongrong Road:
"Tell them to bring the guys who are in their hands. If there are horses in the village, they will bring them all. If the bandits are really like Miss Zhu said, they are not simply asking for money. The ladies are in a very critical situation at the moment. Maybe the sooner the help arrives, the sooner they can be saved from the fire and water."
The steward was busy getting ready, Lou Rongrong turned to look at Miss Zhu, seeing her staring at him in a daze, thinking that she hadn't recovered from the panic of being captured, deliberately slowed down her tone, and asked :
"Don't be afraid, let's save them right now, do you remember the way back there?"
Only then did Miss Zhu come back to her senses in a hurry, and blushed, she replied:
"Remember...remember! I'll take you back!"
So, after a while, except for a few others who don't know how to fight, everyone got on the horse, ready to go to rescue Yu Yizhu and his party.
