Lei Yue Longmen
Chapter 260
"Which Master Cen?" The officers and soldiers headed by that took a step forward and opened the car curtain, and were immediately overwhelmed by the "beautiful" scene in front of them, unable to move their eyes for a long time.Cen Zhuo pretended to be an adulterer|love? When he was discovered, he hurriedly put his outer shirt on Li Jingzhu's back, and said angrily, "Bold, who are you? How dare you block my sedan chair!"
Another officer and soldier whispered: "I recognize her. She is Cen Zhuo, the former left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A person from Cheng Wang's mansion, after taking office, that person has also been dismissed from his post now." Because of the parade, there are very few men, women and children in this capital? They don't know her.Hearing what the other party said, she felt a little settled, and things were going in the direction she expected.
"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Cen Zhuangyuan! It is said that Cen Zhuangyuan's temperament is romantic, and he really deserves his reputation." Then the officers and soldiers laughed? .Apparently, the fleeting scene just now burned his eyes and eyes, and he thought to himself that this surnamed Cen was really lucky, and he could actually endure such a beauty.
"Know it and don't get out of the way! Dare to block my way and seek death?"
Cen Zhu behaved like a scandal? A womanizer who had been exposed and became angry. He did not hesitate to stand up and pull the opened car curtain to cover her "ugliness" again.She gambled all of her reputation just to have a reason at this moment to close the curtain "rightly", and bury Li Jingchen's face in her arms openly, so that no one would see her flaws.
But the officers and soldiers opened the curtain again without giving up, "I don't know where the champion's sedan chair is going?"
Cen Zhu suppressed his anger: "Naturally, he went to the foot of the mountain to handle errands?"
"Oh? What are you going to do? Why don't you tell the brothers, let's help you get things done?" The officer and soldier greedily touched his chin, and suddenly stretched out his dirty hand to touch Li Jing's neck. Take the opportunity to take advantage of it.Cen Zhu was furious, "Presumptuous! Which yamen do you belong to? Report your name on the peak!"
Seeing that she was annoyed, the officers and soldiers didn't pay attention to her at all. Instead, they laughed with everyone.
After that, another toothache and joking expression?, aiming at Cen Zhu's neck.That? Eye? Look...
Cen Zhu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had discovered something.
"Tsk tsk, my lady's teeth are really strong. Master Cen, don't do it? It's too much, be careful? The little lady will not be able to bear it. Hahahaha!"
Sure enough, she shouldn't have any doubts about his IQ.
There is a tooth mark on her neck, which was bitten out by Li Jingchen in the cave, and it still hasn't disappeared.At this moment, it became one of her "criminal evidence".While feeling rejoiced in my heart, I couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment.
Those subordinates were afraid that the officers and soldiers would be molested too much, so they hurriedly whispered in his ear: "This Cen Zhu is a celebrity in front of you today, and I'm afraid that the official may be restored to his post in the future, so we can easily offend him." Sorry."
Those officers and soldiers had a bit of disdain in their eyes.But? He didn't make jokes anymore.In Yurui, although civil and military are relatively light, but the official rank is overwhelming, don't watch him move? Hands? Feet before, after calming down, I really dare not do anything to Cen Zhuo.
Then the subordinate smiled and said: "Master Cen, don't blame us. We didn't know that this was Lord Cen's sedan chair beforehand. What a crime. I hope Lord Cen will not take it to heart."
Cen Zhu pulled over the curtain and covered the sedan chair heavily, as if his anger still persisted.
He took another step forward and said politely to the curtain: "Master Cen? I don't know. Recently, a group of thieves came to this mountain, burning, killing and looting everywhere. We are here to suppress the thieves under the order of Shangfeng. This Qixia Mountain is currently under martial law, Master Cen had better come down the mountain later, otherwise, he will be easily regarded as a thief and suppressed."
Cen Zhu thought to himself: I didn't expect this group of people to come so fast. I'm afraid it's true that they are suppressing thieves or using the name of suppressing thieves.But in the words, he pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Is there any more? The king's law, and the mountain is closed casually. Even if it is the East Palace, there is no reason to keep people from going down the mountain."
"This is out of our control." Then? The subordinates are not angry, "We are following orders? Please cooperate with Lord Cen."
Cen Zhu shrank his pupils and observed these officers and soldiers from the gap in the curtain. Although there were a large number of them, their clothing was not of high quality.It's easier to bluff them.The difficulty lies in that? Although the two "mountain people" did not say a word from the beginning to the end, but? That? Falcon-like precise eyes were always staring at them, and it was obviously the most difficult to get away with it.
"What if I don't? What can you guys do with me? Do you still want to arrest me?"
"Let you fight back and forth, where can you get it? So much nonsense!" The officer and soldier in charge was impatient and obviously impatient.But that subordinate was tactful, he hurriedly held him down, and winked at him desperately.
"Your Excellency insists on this, but we can make an exception. It's just that there are other brother teams under the mountain. I'm afraid they are not as easy to talk to as our brothers. Sir, please!"
Cen Zhu stopped talking nonsense to them, and said coldly, "Forget you? Let's get on the sedan chair!"
Just as the sedan chair was lifted up, it suddenly fell to the ground with a bang.Cen Zhu was jolted, his heart almost burst out of his throat and eyes.Looking at the foot stretched into the car and stepped on it, the whole person was about to suffocate.
The curtain that had just been drawn was suddenly thrown open again.
This time it was the very familiar mountain folk who lifted the curtain.He bowed his waist and glanced? Cen Zhu glanced again? The person who was lying on her shoulder all the time, his gaze was like a cold iron hook, "Master Cen has already gone down the mountain an hour ago, why is he still lingering on the mountain now?" ?”
Cen Zhu was shocked in his heart, how did he know that he was going down the mountain an hour ago?Wait, where does this "Mountain Man" seem to be? Have you seen it?Who is it?Several faces flashed through her mind, familiar and unfamiliar.Suddenly, as if the Lingtai had been hit, the image of that man emerged.Slowly merge with the person in front of you into one.
She remembered, it was... that salesman.
So it turns out, Cen Zhu now understands everything, they really are in the same group!
She tightened her masseter muscles to avoid unconsciously making an unnatural trill when she spoke: "There was a strong wind an hour ago, you? It's not that you don't know. We were worried? It was delayed by rain for some hours. Let's talk about you? This Didn’t the salesman also not go down the mountain? Why is he not selling goods now, but dealing with officers and soldiers instead?”
He hooked the corner of his mouth, "Lord Cen really has good eyesight. It's just that this little lady has been silent?"
Just as he was about to touch Li Jingzhu's shoulder with his hand, Cen Zhu clenched his teeth tightly, his left hand had already quietly touched under the cushion, his five fingers were crossed on the hilt of the short sword, and he slowly unsheathed it.
At this time, someone among the officers and soldiers suddenly shouted, "Where are you? Hurry up!"
The man quickly pulled out and came out, glanced at the direction of the top of the mountain, immediately dropped the car curtain, and ran wildly.A group of people also hurriedly left them and went up the mountain.Cen Zhu's palms were covered with wet and slippery cold sweat, and he almost collapsed on the seat while holding Li Jingzhu. Without thinking about looking back, he quickly raised his foot and kicked the car, "Don't be dawdling, quickly lift the sedan chair down the mountain .”
The bearers were all frightened. Hearing this, they quickly picked up the sedan chair and ran down the mountain.
He ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath.
It wasn't until he got far away from those people that Cen Zhu's heart was beating up and down.Panting heavily, "It's okay? It's okay? It's okay, get rid of them!"
It was the first time that she was fortunate that she still had such a "hostile" relationship with Li Jingchen. Outsiders would never have imagined that she would harbor Li Jingchen, otherwise they would not have been able to get away with it so easily.
While helping Li Jingchen tidy up his clothes, he poked his head out of the car window, "What happened just now? Why did those people run away?"
A bearer behind panted and said, "I didn't see it clearly, it seemed that there was a black shadow on the mountain, so that group of officers and soldiers went after the shadow."
Another bearer wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is that dark shadow? It's clearly a person."
Cen Zhu was surprised: "Human? What kind of person?"
"It's a person wearing a black cloak. Seeing her running, she looks like a woman."
Cen Zhu felt struck by lightning for an instant, his mind went blank, a woman in a black cloak?Could it be...
how come?Will not.She had already let her hide, and it certainly wouldn't be her!
Cen Zhu grabbed his skirt, forced his heartbeat that was about to burst, and reminded himself to stay calm.
But she couldn't do it, if that person is really Yingrou, then she did it on purpose to distract the pursuers.Those people will definitely not let her go.
what to do?She wanted to jump out of the sedan chair to find out.But Li Jingchen is not out of danger yet, once she leaves and encounters those lunatics again, she will surely die as well.
Probably the bearers were tired from running, and the sedan chair began to bump up and down.Cen Zhu felt a little dizzy in his mind, and even wanted to vomit.The sedan chairs in all directions are like iron walls, firmly imprisoning her body that cannot be separated.Her body was about to be unable to bear this kind of torment, and her soul was desperately struggling, suffering, and twisting in her body, clenching her fists, in a dilemma.
Why...why did she have to face such a dilemma again?
Such a beautiful and kind woman should not be a victim of their escape.
At this time, the sedan chair suddenly fell down with a "bang".
"Why don't you leave? Hurry up!" Cen Zhu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.They haven't escaped danger yet, staying here? It's tantamount to dying.
"My lord, your errand? It's really hard to handle. Brothers are going to lose their legs! You have to rest your feet!" Cen Zhu was anxious, "What are you going to do? I will give you ten times your money, my lord. Is it for you to rest your feet? Go now!"
Hearing what she said, Li Jingchen was taken aback for a moment.
"My lord, if you want to say this, then? This job? Brothers really can't do it! You can't risk the lives of your brothers for that little money! You'd better hire someone else!"
"You? You want to blackmail me, don't you?"
Cen Zhu gritted his teeth in hatred, and rummaged through his pockets up and down, left and right, not knowing what he was looking for.Li Jingchen took out a white jade pendant from his coat and gave it to her. Cen Zhuo took it and threw it out, "Here, it's enough for you guys to gamble. Let's go now!"
There was no movement or silence outside the sedan chair for a long time. After a while, there was the sound of picking up things.The sedan chair was lifted up unsteadily again.Li Jingzhu stared at her for a long while with complicated eyes, then suddenly patted the sedan chair vigorously, "Stop the sedan chair!" The sedan chair slowly came down again, "You? Let's go!" Cen Zhu looked at her in surprise. she.
Li Jingchen didn't? Looking at her, her voice was extremely calm and cold, "If you don't save her, maybe you will live forever? It's a pity."
Cen Zhu subconsciously shuddered when he heard the four words, and then thought of something. His heart became more and more uneasy, and he tried to remedy it: "I... I may have said something wrong just now. What I thought in my heart has always been It's you?."
"I know." She didn't give Cen Zhu another chance to explain, "You? It's useless to stay now? Go, it's really too late."
"how about you?"
"I've reached the bottom of the mountain. I can find a place to hide and wait for rescue."
Cen Zhu clenched his fists, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes again, the Lingtai was more clear than ever before, "You? You're right, I can't let myself live forever? I'm sorry!" After finishing speaking, he kissed hard Then her forehead protruded out of the car curtain like an arrow leaving the string.
Li Jingchen twitched the corners of his mouth dismally, and the accumulated sorrow and sorrow caught off the corners of his eyes, and it was almost difficult to stop.But? She didn't have extra time to contemplate this expected result.Her crisis has not been resolved, and now she can only rely on herself.
Open the car curtain and prepare to observe the terrain in order to make the next judgment.
At this moment, she heard several familiar, very long screams in succession.It bounced out from the side of the sedan chair like a cannonball, causing a dull pain in her chest.
In the blurred vision, the figure who thought she had returned to the mountain was running wildly in the opposite direction from what she expected.Run and wave your hands up in the air.
"Hey-stop! Hey-!!! Stop!!!"
And at the end of her run, a carriage was speeding along the road at the foot of the mountain.Wherever it passed, it raised dust all over the sky.
After chasing him for about a mile, Cen Zhu was almost hoarse, so the carriage never stopped.
"Damn it, can't you run?!"
She was so tired that she was out of breath, and her eyes were as white as snowflakes, so she had to stop to hold her knees and take a rest.
Sweat rolled down the nostrils drop by drop, hitting the rutted loess ground, condensing into small fuzzy dots.Half of her face was the despair of physical exhaustion, and half was a wry smile of hopelessness.
God knows how excited she felt when she heard the sound of the wheels in the sedan chair.But now, she looked back at the sedan chair that was still in place, unwilling to bring her disappointment back, but she had to turn back.Li Jingchen not yet? Out of danger, she can't leave the sedan chair too far!
Just as she was walking back step by step, dragging her lead-filled legs, the sound of the wheels stopped, she turned around suddenly, and sped towards their direction.
Cen Zhu suddenly sat down on the ground in joy, the water on her face seeped into her mouth whether it was sweat or tears? The taste was salty and astringent, but it was the most bitter taste she had ever tasted in her life.
The four bearers and the carriage arrived in front of Cen Zhu almost at the same time, and the two sides raised the curtain to look at each other, both of them were surprised.
It turned out that the person sitting in the carriage was none other than the wife of Zhou Hanshan's family in Northwest China.
And that? It was her pair of sons and daughters, Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaoshan, who followed on horseback.Since the two siblings look too similar and both wear men's clothes, Cen Zhu can't tell who is who.Judging from the actions of the two of them, the one following the carriage closely should be Zhou Xiaochuan.And that young man who dragged behind him slowly and finally stopped halfway and looked at the scenery absent-mindedly should be Zhou Xiaoshan.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Cen Zhu, she immediately jumped out of the car.Zhou Xiaochuan immediately dismounted and followed closely behind.
"Master Cen, what happened? How did you make it so embarrassing?"
Cen Zhu was a little surprised and puzzled, but right now he had no choice, so he stood up and said, "It's hard to explain. We were robbed on the mountain, and luckily met my wife. I don't know where my wife and Young Master Ling are going? "
There was a trace of embarrassment and unnaturalness on Mrs. Zhou's face, she quickly passed it, and said with a smile: "We came to Qixia Mountain to pay a visit to an old friend. On the way back, I heard someone screaming, and I thought it was an illusion. ? Xiaochuan has good hearing."
Cen Zhu thought to himself, old friend?There is only one main road at the foot of Qixia Mountain. The direction they are coming from is the back mountain. There are many peaks in the back mountain. Although there are occasional villages, they seem to have nothing to do with the wife of this frontier official.
"Since we have encountered robbers, let's invite Mr. Cen to get in the car. Although we don't have many people, it is our duty to keep Mr. Cen safe." Mrs. Zhou has always been warm-hearted. Her impression of Cen Zhuo He has always been very good, and the last time he was shot by Li Jingxi, he was more or less implicated by the Zhou family, so he felt quite indebted, so he made this decision without hesitation.
"Madam Zhou, wait a moment."
Cen Zhu agreed without haste, went back to the sedan chair and opened the curtain to enter the sedan chair, looked at the occupant of the sedan chair, and saw two lines of very thin water trails hanging from the corners of her eyes.With a sore heart, he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Afraid I'd leave you and run away?" Li Jingchen turned away his face and wiped it off with his sleeve. Leaning her waist, he leaned into her ear and said, "Mrs. Zhou is outside, I put you in her car, it should be safe." " Li Jingchen hugged her neck subconsciously and was carried out. He bit her collar, refusing to let go.
Cen Zhu caressed her temples naturally, as if conveying some kind of comfort.Coming to Mrs. Zhou, "Mrs. Zhou, I entrust your Highness's safety to you. Please escort her back to the city. If there is any pressure in the future, this junior will definitely die."
Mrs. Zhou stood there dumbstruck, and she didn't come back to herself for a while.
Not only because she and Li Jingzhu appeared together, but also because of their intimate relationship at the moment.
Is that weak and pitiful person nestled in Cen Zhu's arms, the empress dowager who is about to take over the power of the world?They are by no means pure political enemies as they are said in the legend.
No matter how dull Mrs. Zhou is, she understands now.Never thought it would be like this.She thought that Cen Zhuo and her unmarried daughter-in-law were the ones... Madam Zhou couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy at the moment, she just thought that the rumors in the capital were really ridiculous, but the truth had always been hidden in these confusing lies Among them, although the result is surprising, it is more true and appropriate than any lie.
No wonder, there will be? There are rumors that Cen Zhu is quite caring for Princess Kant.Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the care is true, but it's because of the Empress Dowager.
Who was more shocked than Mrs. Zhou? Zhou Xiaochuan.She knew Cen Zhu's identity as a woman, and she and the Crown Princess definitely didn't look like a pure sisterhood.The tacit understanding between them cannot be developed overnight.
None of the Zhou family's mother and daughter thought that a decision they made impromptu would be the key to Li Jing's salvation.
Mrs. Zhou suddenly lowered her head and saw Li Jingzhu's leg, she was shocked, "Here, His Highness is injured? What happened?"
"It's probably an assassination." Zhou Xiaochuan has always had a keen sense of smell.
Mrs. Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately called the coachman, "Zhou Ying, quickly help His Highness and Lord Cen into the car! Let's go back to the city quickly!" She turned her head and shouted, "Where is Xiaoshan? Why is he still behind? Call him over quickly, he is always slowing down!"
Cen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down a bit, and hurriedly carried Li Jingzhu into the car.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaochuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked around vigilantly.
"Zhou Ying, quickly help mother into the car, you two go first!"
Another officer and soldier whispered: "I recognize her. She is Cen Zhuo, the former left deputy governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A person from Cheng Wang's mansion, after taking office, that person has also been dismissed from his post now." Because of the parade, there are very few men, women and children in this capital? They don't know her.Hearing what the other party said, she felt a little settled, and things were going in the direction she expected.
"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Cen Zhuangyuan! It is said that Cen Zhuangyuan's temperament is romantic, and he really deserves his reputation." Then the officers and soldiers laughed? .Apparently, the fleeting scene just now burned his eyes and eyes, and he thought to himself that this surnamed Cen was really lucky, and he could actually endure such a beauty.
"Know it and don't get out of the way! Dare to block my way and seek death?"
Cen Zhu behaved like a scandal? A womanizer who had been exposed and became angry. He did not hesitate to stand up and pull the opened car curtain to cover her "ugliness" again.She gambled all of her reputation just to have a reason at this moment to close the curtain "rightly", and bury Li Jingchen's face in her arms openly, so that no one would see her flaws.
But the officers and soldiers opened the curtain again without giving up, "I don't know where the champion's sedan chair is going?"
Cen Zhu suppressed his anger: "Naturally, he went to the foot of the mountain to handle errands?"
"Oh? What are you going to do? Why don't you tell the brothers, let's help you get things done?" The officer and soldier greedily touched his chin, and suddenly stretched out his dirty hand to touch Li Jing's neck. Take the opportunity to take advantage of it.Cen Zhu was furious, "Presumptuous! Which yamen do you belong to? Report your name on the peak!"
Seeing that she was annoyed, the officers and soldiers didn't pay attention to her at all. Instead, they laughed with everyone.
After that, another toothache and joking expression?, aiming at Cen Zhu's neck.That? Eye? Look...
Cen Zhu's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had discovered something.
"Tsk tsk, my lady's teeth are really strong. Master Cen, don't do it? It's too much, be careful? The little lady will not be able to bear it. Hahahaha!"
Sure enough, she shouldn't have any doubts about his IQ.
There is a tooth mark on her neck, which was bitten out by Li Jingchen in the cave, and it still hasn't disappeared.At this moment, it became one of her "criminal evidence".While feeling rejoiced in my heart, I couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment.
Those subordinates were afraid that the officers and soldiers would be molested too much, so they hurriedly whispered in his ear: "This Cen Zhu is a celebrity in front of you today, and I'm afraid that the official may be restored to his post in the future, so we can easily offend him." Sorry."

He didn't make jokes anymore.In Yurui, although civil and military are relatively light, but the official rank is overwhelming, don't watch him move? Hands? Feet before, after calming down, I really dare not do anything to Cen Zhuo.
Then the subordinate smiled and said: "Master Cen, don't blame us. We didn't know that this was Lord Cen's sedan chair beforehand. What a crime. I hope Lord Cen will not take it to heart."
Cen Zhu pulled over the curtain and covered the sedan chair heavily, as if his anger still persisted.
He took another step forward and said politely to the curtain: "Master Cen? I don't know. Recently, a group of thieves came to this mountain, burning, killing and looting everywhere. We are here to suppress the thieves under the order of Shangfeng. This Qixia Mountain is currently under martial law, Master Cen had better come down the mountain later, otherwise, he will be easily regarded as a thief and suppressed."
Cen Zhu thought to himself: I didn't expect this group of people to come so fast.

Just as the sedan chair was lifted up, it suddenly fell to the ground with a bang.Cen Zhu was jolted, his heart almost burst out of his throat and eyes.Looking at the foot stretched into the car and stepped on it, the whole person was about to suffocate.

At this time, someone among the officers and soldiers suddenly shouted, "Where are you? Hurry up!"
The man quickly pulled out and came out, glanced at the direction of the top of the mountain, immediately dropped the car curtain, and ran wildly.A group of people also hurriedly left them and went up the mountain.Cen Zhu's palms were covered with wet and slippery cold sweat, and he almost collapsed on the seat while holding Li Jingzhu. Without thinking about looking back, he quickly raised his foot and kicked the car, "Don't be dawdling, quickly lift the sedan chair down the mountain .”
The bearers were all frightened. Hearing this, they quickly picked up the sedan chair and ran down the mountain.

"You? You want to blackmail me, don't you?"
Cen Zhu gritted his teeth in hatred, and rummaged through his pockets up and down, left and right, not knowing what he was looking for.Li Jingchen took out a white jade pendant from his coat and gave it to her. Cen Zhuo took it and threw it out, "Here, it's enough for you guys to gamble. Let's go now!"
There was no movement or silence outside the sedan chair for a long time. After a while, there was the sound of picking up things.The sedan chair was lifted up unsteadily again.Li Jingzhu stared at her for a long while with complicated eyes, then suddenly patted the sedan chair vigorously, "Stop the sedan chair!" The sedan chair slowly came down again, "You? Let's go!" Cen Zhu looked at her in surprise. she.
Li Jingchen didn't? Looking at her, her voice was extremely calm and cold, "If you don't save her, maybe you will live forever? It's a pity."

I'm sorry!" After finishing speaking, he kissed hard Then her forehead protruded out of the car curtain like an arrow leaving the string.
Li Jingchen twitched the corners of his mouth dismally, and the accumulated sorrow and sorrow caught off the corners of his eyes, and it was almost difficult to stop.But? She didn't have extra time to contemplate this expected result.Her crisis has not been resolved, and now she can only rely on herself.
Open the car curtain and prepare to observe the terrain in order to make the next judgment.
At this moment, she heard several familiar, very long screams in succession.It bounced out from the side of the sedan chair like a cannonball, causing a dull pain in her chest.
In the blurred vision, the figure who thought she had returned to the mountain was running wildly in the opposite direction from what she expected.Run and wave your hands up in the air.
"Hey-stop! Hey-!!! Stop!!!"
And at the end of her run, a carriage was speeding along the road at the foot of the mountain.Wherever it passed, it raised dust all over the sky.
After chasing him for about a mile, Cen Zhu was almost hoarse, so the carriage never stopped.
"Damn it, can't you run?!"
She was so tired that she was out of breath, and her eyes were as white as snowflakes, so she had to stop to hold her knees and take a rest.
Sweat rolled down the nostrils drop by drop, hitting the rutted loess ground, condensing into small fuzzy dots.Half of her face was the despair of physical exhaustion, and half was a wry smile of hopelessness.
God knows how excited she felt when she heard the sound of the wheels in the sedan chair.But now, she looked back at the sedan chair that was still in place, unwilling to bring her disappointment back, but she had to turn back.Li Jingchen not yet? Out of danger, she can't leave the sedan chair too far!
Just as she was walking back step by step, dragging her lead-filled legs, the sound of the wheels stopped, she turned around suddenly, and sped towards their direction.
Cen Zhu suddenly sat down on the ground in joy, the water on her face seeped into her mouth whether it was sweat or tears? The taste was salty and astringent, but it was the most bitter taste she had ever tasted in her life.
The four bearers and the carriage arrived in front of Cen Zhu almost at the same time, and the two sides raised the curtain to look at each other, both of them were surprised.
It turned out that the person sitting in the carriage was none other than the wife of Zhou Hanshan's family in Northwest China.
And that? It was her pair of sons and daughters, Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaoshan, who followed on horseback.Since the two siblings look too similar and both wear men's clothes, Cen Zhu can't tell who is who.Judging from the actions of the two of them, the one following the carriage closely should be Zhou Xiaochuan.And that young man who dragged behind him slowly and finally stopped halfway and looked at the scenery absent-mindedly should be Zhou Xiaoshan.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Cen Zhu, she immediately jumped out of the car.Zhou Xiaochuan immediately dismounted and followed closely behind.
"Master Cen, what happened? How did you make it so embarrassing?"
Cen Zhu was a little surprised and puzzled, but right now he had no choice, so he stood up and said, "It's hard to explain. We were robbed on the mountain, and luckily met my wife. I don't know where my wife and Young Master Ling are going? "
There was a trace of embarrassment and unnaturalness on Mrs. Zhou's face, she quickly passed it, and said with a smile: "We came to Qixia Mountain to pay a visit to an old friend. On the way back, I heard someone screaming, and I thought it was an illusion. ? Xiaochuan has good hearing."
Cen Zhu thought to himself, old friend?There is only one main road at the foot of Qixia Mountain. The direction they are coming from is the back mountain. There are many peaks in the back mountain. Although there are occasional villages, they seem to have nothing to do with the wife of this frontier official.
"Since we have encountered robbers, let's invite Mr. Cen to get in the car. Although we don't have many people, it is our duty to keep Mr. Cen safe." Mrs. Zhou has always been warm-hearted. Her impression of Cen Zhuo He has always been very good, and the last time he was shot by Li Jingxi, he was more or less implicated by the Zhou family, so he felt quite indebted, so he made this decision without hesitation.
"Madam Zhou, wait a moment."
Cen Zhu agreed without haste, went back to the sedan chair and opened the curtain to enter the sedan chair, looked at the occupant of the sedan chair, and saw two lines of very thin water trails hanging from the corners of her eyes.With a sore heart, he smiled and said, "What's the matter? Afraid I'd leave you and run away?" Li Jingchen turned away his face and wiped it off with his sleeve. Leaning her waist, he leaned into her ear and said, "Mrs. Zhou is outside, I put you in her car, it should be safe." " Li Jingchen hugged her neck subconsciously and was carried out. He bit her collar, refusing to let go.
Cen Zhu caressed her temples naturally, as if conveying some kind of comfort.Coming to Mrs. Zhou, "Mrs. Zhou, I entrust your Highness's safety to you. Please escort her back to the city. If there is any pressure in the future, this junior will definitely die."
Mrs. Zhou stood there dumbstruck, and she didn't come back to herself for a while.
Not only because she and Li Jingzhu appeared together, but also because of their intimate relationship at the moment.
Is that weak and pitiful person nestled in Cen Zhu's arms, the empress dowager who is about to take over the power of the world?They are by no means pure political enemies as they are said in the legend.
No matter how dull Mrs. Zhou is, she understands now.Never thought it would be like this.She thought that Cen Zhuo and her unmarried daughter-in-law were the ones... Madam Zhou couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy at the moment, she just thought that the rumors in the capital were really ridiculous, but the truth had always been hidden in these confusing lies Among them, although the result is surprising, it is more true and appropriate than any lie.
No wonder, there will be? There are rumors that Cen Zhu is quite caring for Princess Kant.Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the care is true, but it's because of the Empress Dowager.
Who was more shocked than Mrs. Zhou? Zhou Xiaochuan.She knew Cen Zhu's identity as a woman, and she and the Crown Princess definitely didn't look like a pure sisterhood.The tacit understanding between them cannot be developed overnight.
None of the Zhou family's mother and daughter thought that a decision they made impromptu would be the key to Li Jing's salvation.
Mrs. Zhou suddenly lowered her head and saw Li Jingzhu's leg, she was shocked, "Here, His Highness is injured? What happened?"
"It's probably an assassination." Zhou Xiaochuan has always had a keen sense of smell.
Mrs. Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately called the coachman, "Zhou Ying, quickly help His Highness and Lord Cen into the car! Let's go back to the city quickly!" She turned her head and shouted, "Where is Xiaoshan? Why is he still behind? Call him over quickly, he is always slowing down!"
Cen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down a bit, and hurriedly carried Li Jingzhu into the car.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaochuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked around vigilantly.
"Zhou Ying, quickly help mother into the car, you two go first!"
