Several strong men in the forest in the distance clenched the swords in their hands and stood up immediately.
No one was following the carriage. No matter how arrogant it was, there were only a few people in the carriage.
Just as he was about to send the message back, there was the sound of horse hooves.
The strong man was stunned when he saw two people getting out of the carriage. They were dressed in brocade robes and looked very elegant. One was wearing a silver mask that was very cold, and the other was wearing a white fox cloak and was dignified and proud. They looked like they were no ordinary people.
Before any of them could react, the driver in front of them moved his palm very quickly, raised the knife in his hand, and directly stepped the two people beside him into the mud. He didn't even make a sound of begging for mercy, and he couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead.
"Brother, no!"
The strong man behind took action to stop the leader, with a fierce look on his face, "Someone powerful is coming, we can't go!"
After a while, the person in front gritted his teeth.
Just as they were about to retreat, they saw the man wearing a white fox cloak looking sideways, wondering if he had seen their position, and his lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.
It's like looking at a few bereaved dogs.
"withdraw!"
When Song Jinyin saw the man who had originally choked her being dragged out, she suddenly lost her breath and fell limply to the ground. Only then did her curled up body move.
The vision is already blurry, but crying makes it easier for people to regain their composure.
Song Jinyin wiped her eyes, suppressed the inexplicable grievance she felt just now because of being rescued, and once again forced herself to become calm.
The carriage moved again.
She raised her head warily, only to see the figure of the owner of the embroidery workshop.
"If you don't mind, girl, why not change to Dr. Shen's carriage first."
"Who is the owner?"
Song Jinyin's figure did not move. Except for the redness in her eyes that had not dissipated, there was no trace of timidity in her whole body.
But only she knew that she was extremely scared.
The hands hidden in her sleeves were still trembling slightly, but Song Jinyin met that gaze without giving in.
If the two of them were really malicious, there was no way she could escape.
But vaguely, Song Jinyin felt that the person in front of her was not malicious, but that he carried a secret, and maybe that secret was related to her.
"My boss and Dr. Shen have known each other for a long time. Except for the first day when I was sent to Bi Chun Tang by Cang Lin, every time Dr. Shen helped me after that, it was all because of my boss. But is that so?"
Zhou Yanan didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't until Shen Yuhe asked his attendants to send the two unconscious men to the government that he seemed to come back to his senses.
But he still just smiled, "It's not all because of me."
"Then my employer's embroidery workshop has been collecting my things at high prices, but is this done on purpose?"
"If you didn't have this ability, I wouldn't be like this either."
"Have my boss and I ever been old acquaintances?"
Song Jinyin asked three questions in succession, her eyes becoming clearer and clearer.
The curtains had already been raised, and the masked man stood outside the carriage, looking at her calmly and gently.
"If the girl doesn't change the carriage, she won't be able to reach the next village before dark."
Seeing that Song Jinyin had been curled up and unable to come out, Zhou Yanan sighed lightly, but he didn't want to trap anyone with the past, and he himself was no longer the young master of the Zhou family.
"Girl, you can rest assured. When you get down here, you have become the opponent of the heir apparent of the Pei family. He will never hurt the girl and put yourself in a position of embarrassment from all sides."
After a pause, Zhou Yan'an continued: "Don't you want to fight for the baby in your belly? It's a gamble everywhere, why not just bet that I will protect the girl."
When she heard about the fetus in her belly, Song Jinyin's eyes became a little softer.
She didn't respond to the man's words, but she had already lowered her head and was packing the baggage that had just been torn apart.
When changing carriages, he put the dagger on top in front of the two of them.
Shen Yuhe couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person sitting in the corner, his eyes red and swollen and pitifully tight, but his eyes were alert.
"Didn't the girl just buy some self-defense powder and poison from my shop yesterday? Even if the medicine was used on Miss Pei San and his party and Shicai, the girl should still have a lot left. If she is afraid of the two of us, If you have evil intentions, just turn around and tell them all."
"You sold her poison?"
Zhou Yanan frowned and took over the conversation, looked at the thin Song Jinyin, and finally set his eyes on Shen Yuhe.
With Song Jinyin's temperament, if she really encounters something that is difficult to escape, the poison will probably be used by her to kill them all.
"It's not poisonous. Is she waiting to be bullied by others?"
"That can't be..."
"Two gentlemen."
Song Jinyin gradually calmed down after listening to their words.
The carriage did not turn around, but continued to drive in the direction of the village.
"The two gentlemen are kind-hearted and have helped me a lot by coming here. I have nothing to repay, and I don't want to bring trouble to you two. I will say goodbye to you two after getting off the bus at the village ahead."
"It's just a way to give you a ride, there's no such thing as "injury". Besides, since I said I would protect you, I won't leave you halfway."
Zhou Yanan frowned. Although the silver mask blocked his eyebrows, it could not hide the heroic expression from his slightly raised eyebrows.
It was not until this moment that Song Jinyin finally saw a look similar to that of her old friend. Although it was fleeting, it was enough to make her heart feel like thunder.
She opened her lips, but she felt her throat was dry and she couldn't utter a single word.
impossible.
That chivalrous and courageous young man no longer exists in this world, there is no way it could be him.
"Girl, you might as well drink some tea and moisturize yourself."
Shen Yuhe handed over the cup, and Song Jinyin took it, but did not drink it.
The carriage moved very fast, but it did not cause any discomfort. When they arrived at the village, Song Jinyin came back to her senses and was surprised to find that it was so smooth.
"There is an inn at the entrance of the village. It was built in the early years to earn money from travelers. It is a bit crude. The girl will rest here for one night. When we arrive at the next place to stay tomorrow, I will find a comfortable place for the girl."
"My boss shouldn't be like this."
Song Jinyin finally woke up from the shock and her thoughts became calm.
She couldn't afford to repay such kindness.
"At dawn tomorrow, the two of you and I should say goodbye here."
"Girl just takes it as a ride. Now that we have reached this point, what she should worry about is her own coming and going, and there is no need to worry about the rest. And if the two of us really wanted to harm the girl, we would never wait until today."
"I know you two will not harm me."
Song Jinyin's hand holding the baggage tightened, her eyes moved away from the silver mask and fell on the empty and deserted path ahead.
"It's just that you two should have guessed the reason for my trip. If we continue to travel together, it may be detrimental to you, or to your shop in Kyoto City."
Song Jinyin spoke clearly.
With Pei Yanzhou's temperament, if he knew that the two of them had helped her and escorted her, he would definitely not show mercy.
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Yuhe spoke first, then turned around and walked into the inn, "What I value is my medical skills, not just a Bi Chun Tang. As for this boss... He has a tough life, and he is probably the eldest son of the Pei family. He has the same temperament."
The evening breeze was even more chilly, making people feel cold all over. Song Jinyin looked at Shen Yuhe's back, and finally walked into the inn in Zhou Yanan's sight.
The waiter, who had not seen the noble and unfamiliar guest for a long time, came up to us, led the way, and actively made people unable to interrupt.
"Four guest rooms, and prepare some food."
Shen Yuhe threw out the silver and seemed to think of something before going upstairs. He stopped and pointed at Song Jinyin: "The hot water in her room cannot be turned off."
...
As soon as Pei Musheng and the others woke up, the secret letter had already been sent back to Kyoto City at high speed.
When Pei Yanzhou saw the letter, his eyes filled with cold stars, his face showed a violence that he hadn't seen in a long time, and his whole person was extremely sinister.
The handwriting on the letter was not familiar, it should be the person who had sent him the news for the first time, but the story of Song Jinyin's departure was clearly written on it.
Pei Yanzhou felt ridiculous.
How could Song Jinyin do such things as drugging everyone to stun them and escaping alone?
The topographic map on the small case was no longer clear, and Pei Yanzhou suddenly remembered that night, Song Jinyin sat obediently in his arms and asked him about his arrangements for leaving the house.
That's how it is, that's how it is.
She never thought of staying for a moment, even if he promised to give her a status and protect her, she never planned to stay.
It's really good.
"Who followed her out of the city?"
The letter in his hand was crumpled into a ball by Pei Yanzhou.
He raised his eyes, his whole body was cold and stern, and he asked questions word by word, making the people next to him lower their heads.
There was no obvious anger, but such gloominess made people even more frightened.
"Hui Shizi, only Biyu followed, and the three girls were also there, but none of them set up defenses against Miss Jinyin, so..."
"I just want to know where she went."
Xuan Yi's heart sank.
He just received the news.
The dose of the drug was not ordinary. It was probably half a day when the others woke up. Even if the person who sent the letter woke up early, it took some time for the letter to be delivered. Now it will be even harder to find the person. .
And there is one more thing that Xuan Yi never dares to mention.
At this hour, he has not received any news from Biyu, which means that Biyu must have deliberately let people go.
If she didn't start chasing from Lushan Town, it would only be harder for them to search blindly without any clues.
"Hui Shizi, my subordinates have sent several teams out of the city to look for people, all based on the direction centered on Lushan Town. The rest have also sent a small team straight to Anyuan County."
"Anyuan County... I want to go back, how is it possible?"
As the words fell, the chill was chilling. Xuan Yi trembled in his heart and subconsciously looked at the master in front of him.
If Miss Jin Yin runs away, her life or death will be unpredictable.
"Don't just focus on Anyuan County. Send Cang Lin and Xuan Er's subordinates out, and bring her back to me at any cost! If she wants to leave, I want to see where she can go. ."
Pei Yanzhou's voice was full of coldness, and his hands were clenched into fists behind the desk. His finger bones were white, veins were bulging, and his black eyes seemed to be turbulent, filled with anger that was about to explode.
Want to run away from him? Unless he dies.
