Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Qiuyun hugged the young man's body, and shrank in a corner: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

She seemed to have thought of something, and shouted excitedly: "If you want money, just take it! As long as it doesn't hurt the lives of our mother and son!"

The leading man squinted his eyes, and a strange light shot out from these small eyes: "We are not here for money."

The man smiled, his eyes fell from Qiuyun's body to the boy's face.

"Do you know who my father is!" The young man sneered with anger on his face so fat that only one pair of eyes remained, "My father is an official in the court! If you are sensible, you'd better let me go!"

"Of course I know your father's name." The man smiled connotatively, "Your name is Qiu Yun, and your name is Gu Hengjin. You are the wife and child of Taishi Ling Gu Zhiyuan."

Gu Hengjin didn't have the sense of crisis that a catastrophe was imminent, he stared at the man firmly, and said arrogantly: "Since you know who my father is, why don't you let us go quickly! If not, my father will definitely want you to look good!"

Hearing this, the man laughed loudly, and the men beside him also laughed very loudly.

The laughter was especially eerie on the edge of this deserted cliff.

After all, Gu Hengjin was only a 13-year-old boy. Even though Qiuyun pampered him in every possible way, after seeing this weird scene, he subconsciously hid in his mother's arms.

Qiu Yun is a smart woman, otherwise she would not have lived until now. When she heard a man mention Gu Zhiyuan, the panic in her heart spread inch by inch, reaching the peak.

She tremblingly asked the question that disturbed her the most: "Our mother and son have always lived in peace and contentment, and have never offended anyone. Who ordered you? Why..."

"Tut tsk tsk." The man shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't you understand it now?"

Qiu Yun's face was pale: "Even if I die, I have to be a fool! Who sent you here? Is it the princess?"

Hearing this, the man laughed even more heartily: "We are all rough people with blood on their blades. How can we recognize such a noble princess? It's your good husband!"

He smiled and smiled, his eyes changed, and he said in the ears of the two menacingly: "Master Gu asked us to send you mother and son on the road!"

Qiu Yun's expression changed drastically: "This is impossible!"

But the man no longer gave her a chance to struggle, he raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed at the top of Qiuyun's head neatly.

Qiu Yun's words for help were stuck in her throat, she watched the big knife fall tremblingly, she subconsciously closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not appear.

There was only a crisp sound of "bang", and the big knife in the man's hand had been broken into several pieces.

His expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated out of the carriage, while a man in blue was standing lightly on the roof of the carriage, holding a long sword with a cold light in his hand.

"go!"

The sword strike just now had already let the man know that this person's martial arts is very strong, he didn't want to be head-on, so he immediately led his men to hide in the dense forest on the right.

After narrowly escaping from the dead, Qiuyun's eyes welled up with tears.

"Thank you benefactor for saving me!" She cried bitterly and prostrated herself in front of the man, "Your great kindness, Yunniang will never forget it!"

Qiuyun has been carefully maintained for many years, and her face in her forties is still as young as in her early thirties. The years have left marks on her face, but it has also added a bit of charm to her.

A beautiful woman burst into tears, which is very pitiful.

But the blue-robed swordsman only glanced at her lightly, then retracted his long sword into its scabbard, and walked forward.

Seeing this, Qiuyun's face changed greatly: "Benefactor, please stay!"

She didn't forget what the man said just now, it was Gu Zhiyuan who wanted to kill her and her son!She didn't want to believe it, and she didn't dare to believe it, but the person who was chasing and killing their mother and child was behind her, so she didn't dare to stay in Yuezhou anymore.

The blue-robed man in front of him can scare off those killers with just one sword strike. If he can protect him...

Qiu Yun's heart was burning, and she looked at the blue-robed man with burning eyes: "Benefactor, if you can send our mother and child to the capital, I would like to use a hundred taels of gold as a reward!"

However, the indifferent face of the blue-robed man did not fluctuate in any way because of this large reward. He glanced at Qiu Yun expressionlessly: "I didn't save you for money."

Hearing this, Qiuyun smiled coyly, and quickly complimented: "I know that my benefactor is a knight, so I drew my sword to help when I saw injustice."

"But we are a land of orphans and widows, and if we want to go to the capital to find relatives, if those killers are after us..." Qiu Yun looked embarrassed, "You are chivalrous, and you will never watch us go to die!"

When she spoke, her eyes remained on the face of the blue-robed man.

Just as she thought in her heart, the blue-robed man agreed to her after hesitating for a moment: "I happen to be going to the capital too, so I can escort you all the way."

Qiuyun's heart finally let go.

She bowed to the blue-robed man again and again, and asked excitedly, "What's your benefactor's name?"

"My surname is Pei." The man said lightly.

Qiuyun nodded again and again: "It's such a nice surname! Mr. Pei, we mother and son will have to trouble you on this journey!"

As she spoke, she reluctantly stuffed the bank notes she was carrying into Mr. Pei's hands, and took Gu Hengjin back to the carriage.

Gu Hengjin watched Qiu Yun give the 1000 taels of silver note to Mr. Pei, his face trembled, and he said dissatisfiedly, "How can I use so much silver to go to the capital?"

It was the first time that Qiuyun didn't obey him, and scolded: "Our lives were hanging by a thread just now, and it was Mr. Pei who came to the rescue! Those killers are still hiding in the dark, and this is the money for our two lives! Do you think it's worth 1000 taels of silver?" ?”

"Why is mother still going to the capital?" Gu Hengjin gritted his teeth when he mentioned this, and said in a bitter voice, "He's going to send someone to kill us!"

Hearing this, Qiuyun's face was extremely pale.

"No." Qiu Yun said in a low voice, "If your father wanted to get rid of us, he would have done it more than ten years ago, why would he do it now? Someone must be sowing discord!"

As she spoke with low confidence, Gu Hengjin pouted at the side: "That might be."

Since his birth, Gu Hengjin had never met Gu Zhiyuan, and he had no feelings for this nominal father at all. The only connection was the batch of silver that Gu Zhiyuan sent every year.

Seeing his eyes, Qiuyun knew what was on his mind.

"Little Treasure, you can't think of your father that way!" Qiu Yun comforted, "Let's go to the capital to find out the news first, if he is really so ruthless... I will never let him have a good time!"

In the eyes of this weak woman, there is a firmness that is completely different from her appearance.

Outside the carriage, Mr. Pei's eyes shifted slightly, and he landed on the place where the killers escaped.

Behind a tree, a figure flashed, and the woods became calm again.

……

On the wide campsite, several bonfires were blazing, and sparks were flying, and from time to time, a woman's coquettish laughter sounded.

The acquaintances of the noble ladies gathered together and were discussing the interesting things of the past few days, and the ministers were in groups of three or four, talking loudly.

As soon as Old General Pei took a sip of wine, he saw his old wife showing displeasure on her face, and her eyes fell on his hand holding the wine glass.

In an instant, Old General Pei put down his wine glass, pretended to be nonchalant, and looked around.

Seeing Gu Ning, he quickly waved to Gu Ning: "Ning'er, come to grandfather!"

Gu Ning was beside the queen, and his smile was almost engraved on his face. Hearing the old general Pei's voice, he immediately smiled at the queen: "Empress, I want to go out."

She smiled cutely, and her attitude towards the queen was also very submissive. There was nothing wrong with her. The queen felt even more regretful, but she could only nod her head: "Old General Pei called you, there must be something urgent, you Go quickly."

Gu Ning nodded again and again, and ran towards Old General Pei with the hem of his skirt.

"Grandfather." Gu Ning trotted to Old General Pei, stretched his neck and looked nearby.

Old General Pei coughed lightly: "Why don't you talk to your grandmother today? Could it be that you dislike her for being old and can't talk to you?"

Gu Ning blinked, her pretty face was full of doubts: "What are you talking about?"

"Don't listen to his drunken nonsense!" The eldest princess walked towards Gu Ning quickly, separated the two of them, and glared at the old general Pei, "You scare Ning'er just for a few sips of wine!"

Hearing this, Old General Pei coughed a few times: "I just took a sip..."

"Not even one bite!" The eldest princess said coldly, "Could it be that you forgot Dr. Zhou's doctor's order?"

"Okay!" Gu Ning immediately unified the battle line with the eldest princess, and whispered, "Doctor Zhou said that you have a lot of hidden injuries, if you drink again, your body will not be able to bear it."

Old General Pei originally wanted to find Gu Ning as a shield, but she unexpectedly blamed herself with the Eldest Princess, and poured all the wine on the ground with a sigh: "Are you satisfied now?"

Master Tang, who had just come here, stopped, blowing his beard and staring at Old General Pei: "This is wine bestowed by the emperor, how can you..."

His face was ugly, as if he wanted to impeach Old General Pei immediately.

Old General Pei looked away guiltily, and said in a muffled voice, "It was just a moment of carelessness, the jug fell on the ground, Mr. Tang is getting old, and his eyesight is not good."

Mr. Tang was so angry that his cheeks were flushed. He had a lot of truths in his stomach. Just when he was about to talk to Old General Pei, Mrs. Tang who was beside him secretly tugged at his sleeve: "My lord, don't forget about the business!"

Hearing this, Master Tang's face froze, and when he reached the point of his mouth to preach, he changed into another sentence: "The officials and their daughters come to plead guilty to General Pei!"

Opposite him, Old General Pei looked at him in astonishment, with the look of "Your kid took the wrong medicine".

Mrs. Tang stepped forward at this time, and said in a low voice: "The little girl made a slip of the tongue before and damaged the reputation of the Pei family. It was really wrong. Fortunately, the eldest princess and the head of Changning County are magnanimous and forgave the little girl's sin."

"But the little girl's unrestrained speech has damaged the reputation of the Pei family and yours. She should not have done it, so I specially chose today to apologize to you."

Both the Tang family and the Pei family are well-known families in Beijing, especially the Pei family, every word and action will be magnified, and their movements have long attracted the attention of the surroundings.

Old General Pei restrained his expression, and his majestic eyes fell on Tang Rulan who was hiding behind Mr. Tang.

After a while, he sneered, looked around, and deliberately raised his voice: "Our Pei family is doing well. If Miss Tang has evidence of the Pei family's collusion with the Huns, she can present it to the emperor."

"In the future, if Ms. Tang still slanders the Pei family behind her back and pours dirty water on the Pei family, we won't be as gentle as this time!"

As early as the moment Tang Rulan was stared at by Old General Pei, her psychological defense was defeated. She shook her head quickly, and tears fell down her cheeks one by one like broken beads.

She cried until her make-up was all over her face: "This junior knows his mistake! Old General Pei will be beaten and punished, and this junior will never say anything else!"

Old General Pei snorted coldly: "If you are the first offender, you will be spared the punishment this time!"

Tang Rulan choked up a few times, knelt down and thanked Old General Pei with tears of gratitude.

Before she got up, she saw the nine-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the robe of the person beside her from the corner of her eye. She only felt that her mind was blank, and it was Gu Ning who gave her a hand to bring her back to her senses.

The emperor came over at some point and was talking to Old General Pei. He acted like a junior in front of Old General Pei.

Tang Rulan's fingers trembled, only then did she realize what kind of disaster she had almost caused.

The emperor had great respect for General Pei, and with the Tang family's personal apology, the rumors of collusion between the Pei family and the Xiongnu were self-defeating.
