Although Wei Ninghe successfully escaped, this did not mean that their troubles were over.
Tao Qian was originally greedy for life and afraid of death. He had a feud with a Jianghu man in the past, and he and Shangguan embezzled a lot of money from the court. He was afraid that he would be killed one day, so he hired a master to protect him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruqing and Weining were so unlucky that they chose his family to attack. So this time they "robbed the rich and gave to the poor" encountered a problem. The master Tao Qian invited was not just a person in the world of martial arts, but a real person. With real information, Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing bumped into someone else's wooden warehouse and were beaten and seriously injured. They stole the chicken but lost the rice.
Tao Qian learned that someone had actually broken into his home at night, and it was his study that was robbed, so he immediately thought more. After all, he was worried about ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Tao Qian mistakenly believed that Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing were sent by him or Shangguan's political opponents, and sneaked into his study to steal intelligence and the evidence of the crime he left behind - because he had embezzled big money with Shangguan during the Yucheng flood last year. Part of the relief money was for fear that he would be thrown out as a scapegoat by Shangguan, but he left a lot of evidence.
Unexpectedly, these evidences would now become a hot potato. Although he came to check as soon as he knew the study was stolen and did not find that the fatal evidences he had kept had been taken away, he could not guarantee that the two thieves I have not seen or copied any of this evidence.
For the sake of his own life and that of his family, he did not dare to take this matter lightly, so he insisted on catching Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing who broke into his study at night. After all, this was a slightly careless incident. If exposed, it will be the fate of the nine implicated clans.
So Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing got themselves into big trouble without knowing it.
The two of them were wanted, a man and a woman. They were called male and female robbers. Their body shape, age, and approximate appearance were all described. Portraits were drawn and posted and circulated at the city gate and on the streets. They must be caught. .
In addition, Tao Qian and his superiors colluded with each other and sent people to search everywhere. Life for Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing suddenly became difficult. While hiding in XZ, they were still frightened and lived a miserable life.
And they were still injured, and they couldn't get good treatment or buy good medicine. After a long time, they were delayed and became chronic diseases, especially Weining. His old injury was not healed, and he was invited by Tao Qian. The master was seriously injured, and his physical condition became worse and worse. In the end, his foundation was gradually damaged. He was destined not to go far in martial arts training. At best, he could only become a second- or third-rate master. If he wanted to be like in the original world plot Becoming a first-class master is impossible.
They hid in the east of the capital and almost lost half their lives before escaping from this place that made them stumble. After escaping from the capital, they wandered for more than a month before returning to Wanqu Villa.
Wei Ning didn't want to come back in such a dejected manner, because not only had he not made any reputation in the world in the past six months, but he had carried a wanted order from the court and escaped back in embarrassment with injuries all over his body, which embarrassed him. Big loss.
However, he had to come back because they really had no money. They had spent all the banknotes they had stolen from the Tao family, and their wanted orders were spread everywhere. They had to be careful to escape at all times even if they were seriously injured. If they don't return to Wanqu Villa while the court is chasing them, they might even lose their lives.
Therefore, being embarrassed is less important than losing one's life.
When Wei Ning returned from injury, the most unbelievable thing was his mother Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei saw that her son, who was a talented and radiant young man when he left home more than half a year ago, now came back and turned into a pale, The sick and injured personnel, who were thin and even a little rickety, could not believe their eyes.
"How did you become like this?" Zhou Wei was shocked and checked her son's body all over, and found that his whole body was covered with injuries. She was so distressed that she burst into tears.
After Wei Ning explained his experience in detail, and after hearing that he and Xiao Ruqing went to the Tao family to rob the rich and help the poor, but unfortunately encountered a master and were injured even more, Zhou Wei immediately found a way to vent himself The channel for resentment and unwillingness is to turn anger on Xiao Ruqing.
She didn't care that Xiao Ruqing was her son's savior. She only knew that her son was doing something "robbing the rich and giving to the poor" under her thumb, which resulted in more injuries. Therefore, she did not hesitate to vent her anger on Xiao Ruqing. What acrimony. She said harsh words to Xiao Ruqing, and even warned her unceremoniously not to have any ideas about her son...
This time without the cannon fodder Jin Shichu blocking the way, Xiao Ruqing had to face Zhou Wei's fire.
Although Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing did not fall in love for a long time when they were together in the world as in the original world plot, they actually developed a relationship between men and women while living and dying together and escaping from the court. When they went to Wanqu Villa, they had already revealed their feelings to each other and had a mutual understanding, otherwise Xiao Ruqing would not have followed Weining back to Wanqu Villa.
Therefore, when Zhou Wei made things difficult for Xiao Ruqing, Wei Ning was not happy. He tried his best to defend Xiao Ruqing and persuaded Zhou Wei to accept Xiao Ruqing and not to embarrass her.
However, Zhou Wei felt that he had been deceived by this rude and savage woman, and that he no longer respected himself as a mother, so he became even more disgusted with Xiao Ruqing and dealt with her even harder.
Xiao Ruqing was not a submissive woman originally. After enduring it for a while, she found that Zhou Weishi not only did not restrain herself, but became even more unruly, so she no longer tolerated it and started to confront Zhou Weishi...
Weining was caught between his beloved woman and his mother, suffering terribly. He was worried all day long trying to reconcile their conflicts, so naturally he could not rest in peace and recuperate. His body could not recover for a long time, let alone practice martial arts. This made his father very dissatisfied. I felt that he was indifferent to seriousness, gentle and decisive, and did not have the resolute and decisive spirit of the Jianghu knights. I also began to question whether he could shoulder the responsibility of carrying forward Wanqu Villa.
The drama between the male and female protagonists did not affect Jin Shichu at all. She had long forgotten these two people. Although when she saw the wanted posters all over the street, she looked at the man and the woman in the portrait. , for a moment I doubted whether it was Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing.
But then she thought about it, whether it was true or not was none of her business. If it was really Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing, then she felt that she could gloat about it.
She never expected that just by saving Jin Xiangrong's life, the fate of Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing would change so much.
