17 I would like to be held hostage by you
"My master was not here this morning. I thought it was not a big deal to come to the temple to burn incense, so I didn't tell him. As a result, when the master heard that I had come to Yinyue Temple, he immediately sent a bodyguard here. If you want us to stay in the house, it's better not to go out. Mrs. County Cheng often comes into contact with those important criminals. Once some busy people have no reason, they can do everything.
The second lady still hung the stone in her heart again and sighed, "It's really a disaster." Looking at the maid clothes worn by Mrs. Xiancheng, it was really awkward, but she didn't dare to say much. She just said, "But how can this Yinyue Temple allow those villains to come?"
"That's right. I still don't believe it. So many monks can't beat those few villains. Mrs. County Cheng obviously had thick makeup on her cheeks, but she wore a cloth shirt, and she unconsciously showed a sharp look, which really made people want to laugh but dare not laugh.
The sudden knock on the door pulled back the empty thoughts of the two.
Miaozhu came forward and opened the door and saw the driver standing at the door in a monk's gray robe. "Tell your wife that the fast hall is ready to eat." After saying that, he walked away.
The two people in the room also heard it. Mrs. Xiancheng couldn't help touching her stomach and said with a bitter face, "After tossing around for most of the day, I'm really a little hungry." I was going to take the second lady's hand, but I found that she was just wearing blasphemy clothes. "How do you go out to eat like this?"
The second lady quickly turned her mind and stroked her forehead. "Sister, let's go first. I'm a little sick and I don't want to eat for the time being.
Mrs. Xiancheng was not suspicious, so she patted her on the shoulder, "If you are hungry, just let Miaozhu bring the food. I will order the vegetarian hall to prepare meals from time to time.
When the second lady watched Mrs. Xiancheng leave, she softened herself and half leaned back to ** again. After a long time, she didn't see Mu Nianqing come back, so she ordered Miaozhu to look for it. Alone, I endured hunger and began to regret today's trip to Yinyue Temple.
In the opposite guest room, Mu Xiran was awakened by a thunder outside. He rubbed his eyes and turned around and saw Nanshi sitting at the round table holding his head to make beans. His sleepy appearance was really interesting.
However, Nan Xiao heard the sound of ** and quickly came over, "Miss woke up. It happened that the vegetarian meal in the hall was also ready, and the maidservant went to bring some vegetarian food.
"No, let's go together." Mu Xi turned over and got out of bed and tidied up his dress.
At this time, Nanshi also suddenly woke up and followed Mu Xi'an out of the house in a daze.
The three came to the Zhai Hall, but found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere inside. Then they found that several men sitting in a corner were all fierce. One of the men saw Mu Xiran who had just come in with sharp eyes and hurriedly hit the arm of the man next to him with his elbow. Therefore, the men looked at this side one after another. There was a oozing smile on the corners of his mouth.
Mu Xijian had to look cold and sit in the farthest corner.
Nan Xiao came over with the food and said helplessly, "Miss, these meals... let's make do with it."
Mu Xilan didn't care. He picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of tofu in his mouth, and chewed it with relish. "Actually, these are much more delicious than those in our Xiaoxiangyuan. You can also try them."
As soon as she heard that it was better than her yard, Nanshi couldn't wait to eat it. As a result, her mouth was full, and she nodded repeatedly.
The rain outside is continuous, and the people on every table inside have their own thoughts.
After eating, Mu Xilan went out of the hall and returned to the corridor in front of his house and told Nan Xiao, "You go and secretly find out what those strange men do?"
"Second sister, don't inquire." The deep smile of Mu Nianqing's mouth from the front yard was particularly obvious, "Those people are the robbers the county magistrate has been looking for for a long time. Those robbers have been evil between Xiangcheng and Lingcheng for a long time. Coincidentally, they, like us, had to come to Yinyue Temple to shelter from the rain.
Mu Xilan was not surprised by the identity of those people, but felt that it was no accident that Qin Yu also appeared here. When Mu Xian came to his senses, he found that the robe on Mu Nianqing was clearly worn by the nun.
Perhaps when he saw Mu Xi'an's joking eyes, Mu Nianqing turned away awkwardly, "For a moment, it's okay to wear it. On the contrary, second sister, it is not a smart way to keep the best for yourself in times of crisis.
"What the third sister said is certainly right. But I just deliberately want to see you at a loss. This heavy rain is really gratifying. Mu Xiran raised the corners of his mouth happily, turned into the room regardless of Mu Nian's pale face.
It was boring to stay in the house when it was raining like this, so Mu Xilan had to ask Nan Xiao to borrow some scriptures from the host in the temple. When Nanxiao took it back, he still looked a little bad.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xi'an's eyes are very sharp now.
"I don't know how the man walked. He bumped directly into the maidservant without looking at it, and left without saying a word." Nan Xiao rubbed his arm and put the scriptures on the table angrily.
Mu Xiran guessed who the man was in his heart. At first, he didn't think much about it. However, when he opened the scriptures, he saw a piece of paper pressed on the first page, and there were six big characters of dragons and phoenix dancing on the paper, "Don't come out at night." Holding a piece of paper with his fingers, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was very close to him today.
Nan Shi saw it and came over curiously, "Miss, what is this?"
Mu Xiyan subconsciously turned the piece of paper back, coughed twice, and solemnly ordered, "I'm afraid something big will happen tonight, so don't go out."
Nan Xiao and Nan Shi looked at each other and saw that the young lady's face was calm, so they didn't ask more questions.
However, things are often unexpected. Before dark, the sound of the rain suddenly sounded a scream.
Mu Xiran was so shocked that he sat up and said, "It's the voice of Mrs. County Cheng!" He walked to the window and opened a crack. Sure enough, in the dark sky, in the opposite corridor, a man put a dagger on Mrs. County's neck.
"Miss! There were a lot of people in the yard. Nan Xiao saw this scene for the first time, and his voice trembled a little.
Mu Xiran could still sit still, and his exquisite facial features walked out of the room with a little awe-inspiring.
The huge backyard is indeed full of many people. In the north corridor, several villains stood with long knives. The gangster who kidnapped the county magistrate was moving north, while in the west corridor, the second lady covered her mouth with a pale face, and Mu Nianqing looked calm.
And the guards standing in the south are approaching the gangster little by little, regardless of the heavy rain.
"stop, stop! If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill her!" The gangster's dagger flashed, and the county magistrate in her arms trembled again, and her face was white and transparent.
Qin Yu stood among the guards, waved his hand to signal them to stop, and for a short confrontation in the yard.
And everyone didn't expect that Mu Xilan would be the first to speak at this time. Mu Xilan took a few steps forward with a quiet face, "You let this woman go, and I would like to be held hostage by you." The words are clear and the tone is calm.
"Miss!" Nan Xiao and Nan Shi suddenly exclaimed.
Mu Xi ran his head and shook his head at them, and then walked a few more steps by himself, "What do you think?"
Obviously, several villains did not expect that someone would be willing to face the murder weapon in their hands, and also a beautiful girl like a flower. The leading villain still has some brains, "You think we will believe you."
"That woman is my mother. How can I, as a daughter, watch my mother suffer? Everyone, let me do my best to be filial. How about it?" The last two words were as heavy as mountains, and those three or two sentences shocked everyone present.
The villain was obviously not sure whether what the woman said was true, and one of the men suggested, "Brother, since that woman took the initiative to come, we will allow it." In this way, we can escape and enjoy..."
"Okay, then come here and I'll let her go when I get here." The leading elder brother pointed to the corridor around the corner and stared at the woman's movements.
A white skirt made Mu Xi'an Tsinghua noble, and the shallow smile on his exquisite facial features confused everyone in the courtyard. Mu Xiying walked to the corner and said surprisingly calmly, "Let her go."
The eldest brother signaled to the man next to him, and the man pushed the county magistrate's wife away, and the man standing closest to Mu Xiran quickly came over and grabbed her and put a long knife on her delicate neck.
"You don't want to see her die, do you? Get out of the way!" The eldest brother shouted coldly.
It made the people who were still immersed in surprise wake up one after another, especially Mrs. Xiancheng, who looked motionless at Mu Xiran, who replaced her. Even if she was paranoid, she didn't want such a delicate woman to suffer for herself.
So, Mrs. County looked at a man in the bodyguard, "Guangyan, you must save Miss Mu."
Fang Guangyan is the son of Mrs. County Cheng. He also came here in the heavy rain this afternoon. Seeing his mother's firm eyes, Fang Guangyan nodded.
"Let those guards retreat to the front yard and leave none of them. Otherwise, I will let you see the woman's body. The leading brother threatened again, and his face was slightly impatient.
Those bodyguards looked at Fang Guangyan hesitantly, but Fang Guangyan looked at Qin Yu. Qin Yu's indulgent eyes stared at the pure face for a moment and made a gesture to Fang Guangyan secretly. Fang Guangyan nodded and waved his hand, "Get out of here."
