General Zhou and the man had been arguing for a while.
Xiao Xincheng was young and was confused about what he heard, but he probably understood that they, a group of bad guys, were going to take advantage of the excitement of her grandmother's birthday to kidnap her mother, Shen Dingzhu.
Naihe didn't know why, but her mother suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. The guards guarding her suddenly became vigilant. These bad guys were even more unable to succeed, so they captured her and wanted to wait for an opportunity to threaten her parents!
Xiao Xincheng was five years old and understood some principles. She closed her eyes tightly and kept her little hands behind her back, waiting for the old general Zhou who was speaking to pick her up. The little guy pretended to be weak and leaned on his shoulder.
The man stepped forward to stop her: "You can't take her away. I said, I want to exchange her for my second brother."
General Zhou held the child in one hand and raised the other hand to block the man's attempt to snatch the child: "Young Master, just listen to me. If you don't send the child back this time, we won't be able to go out tomorrow. In the capital city, I don’t know who kidnapped the child before she woke up, so send her back quickly.”
"Absolutely impossible!" The man was completely angry. He pulled out his long sword with a "clop" sound and pressed it against the neck of General Zhou. "My father asked you to help me because I want you to obey my orders. Don't let me say anything else." The second time, put the child down."
The men brought by the man were all at war with each other. Three secret guards of General Zhou broke in from the outside, and the two sides confronted each other, waking up Fu Yunqiu who was huddled in the corner and sleeping.
She looked at General Zhou in horror. She didn't expect that Xing Zuo, who had close contact with the people of Beiliang, was actually him!
General Zhou's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. It wasn't that he couldn't take action, but that now that the matter had come to this, he had chosen this path, and he had to go on it!
So, he looked at the man for a long time and then said slowly: "Even if I don't let her go, I can't let her sleep in this environment. Young Master, the child is innocent. Let me send her to the clean thatched house next door. She is just a child, there are so many people here, she can’t escape even if she wants to.”
The man pursed his thin lips and looked sharply. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xincheng, who was lying on the shoulder of General Zhou. She was the only daughter of Xiao Langyan, the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and she was worth a lot of money.
The child was wearing brocade clothes, and his small figure looked a little thin. The man withdrew his long sword and said coldly to General Zhou: "I know you have an old relationship with the Shen family, but now the national situation in Beiliang is serious. We came with a goal. Faced with such a choice, I advise you, old general, to act with caution."
After he finished speaking, General Zhou nodded slowly and sent the child to the makeshift thatched hut next to the ruined temple.
It was said to be a thatched hut, but in fact it was just a temporary stable. It was originally used for a simple rest. But now, he sent the child inside, and the surroundings were hollow. Even if he stood in the ruined temple, he could observe the child's movements.
After Xiao Xincheng was put down, General Zhou returned to the ruined temple. He heard the man say to his subordinates: "Send the anonymous letter to the court. If Xiao Langyan does not let the second brother go in two days, he will kill the child directly."
General Zhou's eyes were deep and complicated, and at this moment, the sound of chains shaking came from the corner. A group of people looked with sharp eyes, and it was Fu Yunqiu who struggled to stand up.
Because she voluntarily gave up the patrol direction of the imperial army in the capital and the palace, she was not strictly detained, but her wrists were only tied with ropes.
Fu Yunqiu said to the man: "Sir, I, I want to go to the toilet..."
Seeing her shyness, the man had a cold expression on his face. He felt that the woman was in great trouble: "You can go outside by yourself. Remember, if you dare to run away, I will shoot you in the head with an arrow."
Fu Yunqiu's face turned pale, he lowered his head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I don't dare to leave, I will die if I go back. Xiao Langyan is so cruel, why should I follow him?"
Afterwards, she walked out of the ruined temple, and the man called General Zhou over to discuss the deployment for the next few days. Suddenly, Fu Yunqiu's scream came from outside.
"Run away! Shen Dingzhu's daughter ran away!"
The man's expression changed, and he suddenly became cold. He picked up his bow and arrow and strode out of the ruined temple. General Zhou followed him out in panic.
On the hillside illuminated by the moonlight, Xiao Xincheng's little figure was seen running forward. The little guy was very smart and knew how to crawl into the woods on the hillside. As long as she hid herself, they would not be able to find her in the vast mountains!
The man's breath was sharp, and he immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming the sharp arrow at Xiao Xincheng's back vest.
"Don't kill her!" General Zhou quickly pressed the bow string with his big palm.
The man thought he was in the way and asked coldly: "If you are soft-hearted and let her go, will you avenge your son?"
General Zhou was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand.
The arrow was aimed at Xiao Xincheng again. The little guy was panting as she climbed the hillside, running wildly in the forest with her hands and feet. She had already used her fastest speed.
However, when the arrow came through the air and nailed her feet, the little guy still screamed and turned pale with fear.
Soon, the second arrow flew suddenly, and this time it nailed Xiao Xincheng's skirt. The fine silk was difficult to pull open. The little guy's face was pale, and he immediately took off his outer robe and continued to move up quickly. run.
General Zhou looked at her struggle and murmured sadly: "What a smart child, don't die here."
However, when the man saw that Xiao Xincheng was about to escape, his third arrow flew out with ruthlessness and cruelty, grazing Xiao Xincheng's face.
A bloodstain suddenly appeared, and the little guy screamed in pain, and then his feet became unsteady and he rolled down the hillside!
"Not good!" Upon seeing this, General Zhou ran over quickly, but the man grabbed his wrist.
The man's eyes were cold, and he obviously didn't believe him: "Old general, rest and let my people go."
After a while, the accompanying secret guard came back with the unconscious Xiao Xincheng in his arms. The little guy was covered in leaves, with a small cut on his cheek, and beads of blood on his white porcelain skin.
General Zhou looked sad and sad as he watched the man order his subordinates: "Lock her up and arrange for people to take turns guarding her. Don't let her escape again."
General Zhou was about to say something, but the man turned his head and stared at him with sharp, dark eyes: "Old General, if you don't want her to continue to suffer physical pain, you should be less soft-hearted. What we have to do cannot be done for a child." All lose."
Fu Yunqiu, who was on the side, saw Xiao Xincheng's cheeks were bloody, and he felt relieved. Shen Dingzhu occupied Xiao Langyan's heart, turning her into a homeless dog, and even the Fu family became Shen Dingzhu's stepping stone.
Then, seeing her daughter suffer would make Fu Yunqiu much happier!
At the same time, in the Shen family, Shen Dingzhu's courtyard was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
The maid brought out basin after basin of blood, accompanied by Shen Dingzhu's painful cry, as if she was trying to tear the night apart.
The medical ladies gathered around the foot of Shen Dingzhu's bed, and the ghost doctor was at the head of the bed, taking his pulse and prescribing new prescriptions. He had already given moxibustion twice.
Before burning the incense, Shen Dingzhu's second brother Shen You brought two experienced Wen Pos from Beijing. They were all sweating profusely.
Po Wen discussed with the ghost doctor: "Should we prescribe midwifery medicine, otherwise the baby will not be born and something will happen to the baby!"
The ghost doctor shook his head as hard as he could: "No! Her pregnancy is less than a month old, and she used strong medicine to save both the adults and the baby. You and I can't bear it!"
Shen Dingzhu's black hair stuck to the side of her fair face, her lips were bitten with bright red blood, and her eyes were bloodshot and red. She stared at the bed curtain, feeling the extreme pain like tearing!
This was her second child, but it was even more difficult than Chengcheng's, probably because the baby was less than a month old, so it was very dangerous.
In a daze, she grabbed the sleeve of the ghost doctor beside her: "Prescribe medicine! Uncle Jiang, prescribe midwifery medicine to... protect my child."
