Roselle Peony

Yang Yuanzhen quietly left the window sill and searched around.It was getting late at this time, many carriages and horses had been parked at the entrance of the inn, there were six carriages at the east gate of the inn alone.Where are Xiaoqiu's chariots and horses as they said? He quietly approached the east gate and called out in a low voice, "Xiaoqiu, where are you?"

No one answered.He checked the carriages one by one, but there was no trace of Lu Shangqiu.

Just as he was hanging his head down, he suddenly heard a noise. When he looked up, he happened to see the window of the previous guest room open, and a black shadow flitted towards the back of the inn.He followed immediately.

A carriage was parked at the back door of the inn.Hei Ying handed over a stack of paperwork to the driver, and left with a few words of instructions.

This must be the carriage hiding Xiaoqiu, Yang Yuanzhen thought to himself.

Seeing that the coachman took the reins and was about to set off, Yang Yuanzhen looked around and saw that there was no one around, and rolled quickly on the spot, rolled under the carriage, and grabbed onto the shaft.

"Driving—" the wheels spun and drove to the outside of Bingzhou City.

Yang Yuanzhen listened quietly for a while, and made sure that there was no one else in the carriage. Seeing the opportunity, when the driver was not paying attention, he lifted the curtain and rolled into the carriage.

Lu Shangqiu lay on the soft seat.Yang Yuanzhen called out in a low voice: "Xiaoqiu?" Lu Shangqiu remained motionless and showed no response.Tested his breath, Xiaoqiu was still alive, he took the anesthetic given by the man in black earlier, but the effect of the medicine has not disappeared.He sat him up and shook him vigorously, but Xiaoqiu was still unconscious.

Yang Yuanzhen was thinking about how to escape safely from the fast-moving carriage with Xiaoqiu, who was about his age, in his arms.For the first time, he hated his age. If he was an adult, with his skill, it would not be difficult to escape with Lu Shangqiu on his shoulders. Unfortunately, Lu Shangqiu is now unconscious. The boy will suffer a loss if he confronts head-on.

Suddenly, the coachman heard a "wow -" and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.Yang Yuanzhen was startled, and hurriedly hid back to the bottom of the carriage the same way.

I only heard someone say "who is it?" and the coachman said: "I have been ordered by Governor Qian to go out of the city to do business."

It turned out that they had reached the city gate.Yang Yuanzhen usually doesn't care about trivial matters, but he is more thoughtful about major matters, not to mention the safety of his best friend Xiao Qiu.He was about to open his mouth to call for help, but then he thought about it, how could he know that the defenders of the city were not under Governor Qian's subordinates, if he called for help to the wrong person, their lives would be lost.If the guards belonged to Lu Suyuan, it is impossible that they did not get the news of Mr. Lu's disappearance, and they would definitely investigate all the vehicles and horses going out of the city thoroughly.

He guessed right. After reading the documents handed over by the coachman, the city gate guards didn't even ask who was in the carriage, but let it go immediately as if they had been notified in advance.

The carriage drove towards the rugged path.The car became bumpy, and the back of Yang Yuanzhen's head hit a protruding stone on the road, almost making him faint.

"I want to save Xiaoqiu." With strong perseverance, Yang Yuanzhen endured the pain in his back and tried to maintain a trace of sobriety.If he falls asleep, all previous efforts will be wasted, and Xiao Qiu will also fall into the hands of the thieves, and maybe he will never see Xiao Qiu again.

"It's all my fault. I came up with a bad idea and asked to go to the theater, but Xiaoqiu was kidnapped by thieves." Yang Yuanzhen murmured to himself.

What's the use of blaming yourself.Yang Yuanzhen decided to save himself.He freed up one hand, grabbed a big rock that was in his hand, and pressed the tip of the big rock hard on the ground every once in a while, rubbing out long lines, hoping that someone would see these marks in the future to rescue them, or even if they didn't People noticed that when they left, they could find the way they came back.

The night was dark and windy, and the carriage was galloping on the rugged mountain road.

It was estimated to last as much as an hour after being bumped like this, and the roadside gradually became brighter with fire.I only heard someone calling: "Xiao Si is back." It turned out that they had already arrived at Yang Mingxi's lair.This driver, Gong Si Nai, is the fourth person under Yang Mingxi's subordinates, and he is responsible for contacting the traitor, Governor Qian.

"Qi reported to the head of the family, under Qian Wuji's order, to bring Lu Suyuan's son Lu Shangqiu here."

A sharp voice came: "Is someone following you along the way?" The head of the family, Yang Mingxi, did not want to be followed by the government to the den of thieves he had secretly established.

"Reporting to the head of the family. No one under my subordinates is following me."

Yang Yuanzhen heard the curtain of the car above being lifted, and then it was lowered again.Yang Mingxi's male voice sounded: "Well done, well done, Governor Qian really impresses me, thank him for me in the future. Take him down, and greet Mr. Lu well."

The wheels started spinning again, and finally stopped in front of a stable.Yang Yuanzhen took the opportunity to hide in the stable.His clothes were scratched by stones all the way, and they were already dilapidated. New wounds piled up with old ones, and with the night wind blowing, it was even more unbearable.How could he care about these things at the moment, and watched helplessly as a group of minions dragged Lu Shangqiu out of the carriage and locked him in a place similar to a cellar.

***

"Wow--" Lu Shangqiu finally woke up slowly after being splashed with a basin of bone-chilling water.Both arms were sore and numb. It turned out that his hands were tied behind his back.Looking around, there are some people in bandit costumes standing in the house, and strange instruments of torture are placed on the shelves on the wall.

"It's you!" Mr. Lu saw through the light of the fire that the person in front of him was the traitor Yang Mingxi who had been wanted all along.At this moment, he couldn't help but regret that he took the risk of leaving his family behind and went to the theater secretly. Now that he was caught here, his father must be very anxious.In addition, I don't know if Yang Yuanzhen has been implicated, and if he will also be arrested.

"It's me, welcome Mr. Lu to my house as a guest." Yang Mingxi laughed wildly.

"Bah, you thief, you only know how to do dirty tricks, what kind of a man is you to kidnap other people's sons with drugs, if you have the guts, you can challenge my father to one-on-one." Lu Shangqiu provoked him.

Yang Mingxi didn't like this: "Since I'm a thief, I only like low tricks. Even if you are Lu Suyuan's son, how can you treat me?" He laughed sinisterly, and looked up into the distance, " Even if you are Lu Suyuan, I took your most precious young master today, what can you do to me?"

"My father will definitely tear you to pieces." Lu Shangqiu spat at him bitterly.

"Ahahaha..." Yang Mingxi raised his head and laughed, and then took a whip as thick as a child's wrist from the wall.He picked up Lu Shangqiu's face with the end of the whip, and said viciously, "You want to cut me into pieces, don't you? Let's see, in the end, is it your father who will cut me into pieces, or I will kill you?" You are in pieces!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted the whip from his hand and slammed it on his back with a "slap", and Lu Shangqiu said "ah", and there was a bloodstain on his snow-white clothes.He is the son of his parents, the official's master, how could he have endured such abuse, and he fainted.

"Wow--" Another basin of ice water was poured down, and another whip was whipped down.Lu Shangqiu learned to be smart this time. He gritted his teeth and let Yang Mingxi whip him. Without saying a word, he passed out from the pain again.

Yang Mingxi whipped his whip a few times, and when he saw Lu Shangqiu looking like he was about to die, he lost interest: "Cut, I really can't help beating this thin-skinned and tender official son. Xu Lao Liu, this little boy Leave it to you, take good care of me, and be careful not to toss him to death again. I will take his head as a memorial to the head of the family tomorrow." Then he glanced at the boy on the ground with ill intentions.

The man named Xu Laoliu quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.

Respectfully sent away the head of the family, only Xu Lao Liu was left in the execution room.He rubbed his hands together treacherously, and walked towards Lu Shangqiu who was lying half dead on the ground.

There is no shortage of anything in the den of thieves, but women are missing, and some thieves put their minds on men who are good-looking and look like women.This Xu Lao Liu is Yang Mingxi's right-hand man, and his hobbies are different from others. He loves to attack young boys, and any good-looking boys caught in the village will be given to him for his enjoyment. I don't know how many good people have been destroyed. child.

The boy caught this time has tender skin, red lips and white teeth. He has been coveting for a long time. The difference is that this time he is the son of his parents, the grand master of the state government. He can only play for one night, and he can't play him to death.He had to seize the moment and enjoy it.

He took off the belt of Lu Shangqiu's clothes, and peeled off the tattered clothes on his body. A pair of thieves' hands stroked Mr. Lu's jade-like skin. Set up a tent.

Lu Shangqiu gradually came to his senses, seeing Xu Lao Liu being so contemptuous of him, struggling with his hands bound, he cursed: "You thief, you dare to touch my son, you, you, you - the sky is struck by lightning, you will die! "

Xu Lao Liu laughed and said: "It's hard to say whether I will die or not, Mr. Lu is dying, so it is better to cherish this good time, we two are happy, and we will send Mr. Lu on the road tomorrow. I, Mr. Xu First class, I guarantee that you will not live this life in vain." After finishing speaking, he put his big hands on the young man's chest, pinched a pair of red cherry blossoms with his fingernails, pinched and pinched, humiliation, pain and a faint trace of joy tortured Mr. Lu indifferently from death to life Come.

Lu Shangqiu listened to Xu Laoliu explaining that tomorrow was his death day, so he didn't struggle any more. His heart was filled with despair, his expression was desolate, his eyes seemed to be ashes, and he let Xu Laoliu play around with him.Seeing that the young man under him became very obedient, Xu Laoliu went further and intensified, stretching out his hand to his back and kneading his whip wounds, until Lu Shangqiu groaned in pain.

Xu Laoliu turned the boy's face to him, seeing the boy's eyes filled with tears, he was very pitiful, and couldn't help kissing the boy's thin pale pink lips.Lu Shangqiu gritted his teeth and shook his head to dodge, but was slapped on the face by Xu Laoliu: "Bitch, I told you to open your mouth." Lu Shangqiu wanted to hide, but with a "click", Xu Laoliu removed his jawbone.The thief's stinky tongue got into his mouth, making him gag with nausea.

Lu Shangqiu turned his head away from looking at Xu Laoliu's face.This kind of scene reminded him of the content in "Hua Jian Zi Ji".A few days ago, he had fantasized about being bound and bullied by others, but now it has come true, but it was when he was about to die, and the person who bound and bullied him was the bandit his father hated the most.If I die like this, it is really pitiful and pathetic.
