Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

It takes nearly an hour to go back and forth to Lin'an Temple.Xiang Wanchun was afraid of being delayed, so he trotted along the road.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" The speaker was none other than the deputy village master who was pulling the horse over. It seemed that he was going out too.

"Buy something, the door will be closed later." I don't know if I was anxious, but Xiang Wanchun's lie was easily prevaricated and there was no flaw at all.

Seeing Xiang Wanchun looking anxious, the deputy village chief scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Would you like to come with me? I'm going to the county."

The small calculation in his heart started, and Xiang Wanchun nodded in agreement.It was indeed a good opportunity. She didn't need to worry about being intercepted at the door. It was much easier for her to go out this time.As for where to get off the horse and part, Xiang Wanchun casually mentioned a place, and when the people did leave, she walked around the path towards Lin'an Temple on the outskirts of the city.

The gate of the temple was already closed, and it took Xiang Wanchun some time to deliver the Buddhist beads in his hand to the abbot.At that time, the abbot had just returned from being tired outside, but when the person saw the beads in her hand, his anxiety disappeared, and he couldn't help but hurriedly asked where the owner of the string of beads was at this time.After Xiang Wanchun told him the specific location and told him that he must move quickly, or he might lose his life, she hurried back. Although she wanted to help, she couldn't let the people in the camp suspect that she had tipped off the news.

In fact, Xiang Wanchun had no idea, not to mention that the elder sister asked her to find someone instead of reporting the crime, and she was looking for the abbot, not the county magistrate.Even if you know that the local magistrate is incompetent and dismissive of such trivial things as robbery and robbery, it is not very useful to find them, but after all, the imperial court officials have soldiers in their hands, which is much more capable than a monk in a temple.

As soon as I went back to Xiangwanchun, I felt something was wrong. Why was the whole camp suddenly immersed in an unusually lively atmosphere.With his heart tightened, Xiang Wanchun quickly ran to the old thatched hut without much thought.There was no one guarding the front of the house, and the door lock was unlocked. With a push, the empty house made Xiang Wanchun's face change drastically.

People were taken away?

They caught people and asked her whereabouts. When Xiang Wanchun came to the hall, the woman was pressed on the tiger-skin seat, and the burly man was tearing off her thin outer clothes.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiangwan Chunyi paused involuntarily, stepping up to disturb her at this moment would definitely be fruitless, but he couldn't bear to see the pitiful appearance of the woman struggling to escape, the dilemma made Xiang Wanchun extremely embarrassed.Her mind was in a mess, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of the playful eyes of the people around her leaning inward, watching the show.A wave of anger approached her heart, and she took two steps forward, Xiang Wanchun said: "Wait a while!" After the voice fell, she was also stunned.

The village owner's face sank when his interest was interrupted, and he glanced at Xiang Wanchun with gloomy eyes, making her scalp numb, her legs trembling, and she almost retreated spinelessly.Then seeing the woman's face with half of her clothes removed was pale and desolate, Xiang Wanchun lamented that she came just in time.

"I haven't bathed my sister yet!" Xiang Wanchun stood upright, with a well-founded look, "The village owner is used to this, isn't he?"

Realizing that the other party was clearly here to spoil his good deeds, and remembering what Xiang Wanchun had done before, the village master's voice became a little colder: "Get out!"

Being yelled at severely, Xiang Wanchun was stunned on the spot.She has a bad heart, and if she annoys the village master, she must be too tired to walk around.Just seeing the woman's eyes that seemed to bear the grievance, Xiang Wanchun's heart was full of suffocation, and he panicked.Chat casually with others: "What's wrong with the village master today? In the past, people weren't always so impatient."

Others winked at her and kept silent, letting Xiang Wanchun talk to himself, as if mocking her meddling.

Xiang Wanchun secretly gouged out his eyes, and his heart hung up. It's hard to be alone.But now that the scene has started, people have to leave in such a disgraceful way, she pretended to be annoyed and said, "It's agreed that everyone will have a sweet treat tonight, so why am I the only one who has to watch over me? I am also a member of the camp, what do you mean by that?"

"Listen, do you want to taste this taste too?" The village master sat up with a smile on his face, and Xiang Wanchun's heart was in his throat when he heard the words.

The hot pain from the last whipping is still fresh in my memory, and Xiang Wanchun's back is already covered with cold sweat.She didn't know whether she was too frightened to move or she had made up her mind, but her expression was particularly calm, even though the meaning in the other party's words was obvious.The village owner was gradually approaching, Xiang Wanchun felt his heart beating fast, several times he wanted to just give in and beg for mercy.However, at this time, she was stubborn and refused to compromise. She just said: "Everyone says that the village master values ​​love and righteousness. I don't believe that the village master will treat me badly."

Everyone knows the consequences of doing things with loyalty. The slap from the village master fell heavily on her shoulders.Normally, looking at this village owner, he is quite easy to talk to, but when his temper comes up, people can't help feeling flustered.Obviously she shouldn't be sympathetic to anger her own boss for a woman, but it's just that things have come to this point, and she can't even think about retreating unscathed.

The shoulder blades were pressed tightly, and Xiang Wanchun couldn't look directly into the other's eyes with ulterior motives. Xiang Wanchun's heart was cold and cold, and he kept annoyed himself that this is not a clever way to let people see through it at a glance.

The village master sneered, leaned over and murmured in her ear: "If you want to use this little trick to dazzle me, I'll be able to stand you!"

Xiang Wanchun only felt the pain in his shoulder that seemed to be crushed, and couldn't bear to take a deep breath.She also knows the temper of the village master, and she hates him the most.So Xiang Wanchun was fully aware of the end of her bravery as a hero, her face turned pale, and she couldn't help taking half a step back.

Satisfied with the astonishment on the opponent's face, the village master pushed him away, and Xiang Wanchun staggered back a few steps.After finally waiting for her to recover, the owner of the village had already turned back.

The calm and self-possessed woman could no longer hide the panic on her face, Xiang Wanchun could only turn a blind eye and leave cruelly.The back view was a little hurried, and she seemed to be blaming herself.In fact, there is no need to worry about others to such an extent, but Xiang Wanchun is unwilling. He either helps people to the end, or refuses before, and runs away after only doing half of the job. Regardless of what is going on?

Hearing the cries for help from behind made me feel uncomfortable. Although the journey was not long, Xiang Wanchun had a particularly hard time walking.Several times I couldn't help but want to turn around, but my thoughts were all suppressed.

"Why did the deputy village master go out for so long?" Xiang Wanchun was so anxious that he couldn't find a reliable helper.

At this moment, a person hurriedly walked towards the hall with a dignified expression, even if he knocked down Xiang Wanchun, it was too late to help the person who fell to the ground.Xiang Wanchun fell inexplicably this somersault, but when he raised his eyes to look for someone, he couldn't see half of them.The man also didn't care whether the village master was in a good night or spring at this time, Zhang Huang said: "Village master, something is wrong! Our camp is surrounded by officers and soldiers."

Before he took off his pants, the village owner hurriedly picked up his clothes and put them on, frowning and asking, "What's going on here?"

"I don't know, a few brothers who resisted have been arrested." The man was also anxious, waiting for him to come up with a perfect idea.

"Take me to have a look!" The head of the village ignored the people on the chair and strode out.

Upon receiving the news of the commotion outside, Xiang Wanchun rushed into the house while everyone was away.Seeing that most of the woman's clothes had been taken off, and her complexion was extremely bad, Xiang Wanchun put on the clothes neatly for the woman, and at the same time whispered in the woman's ear: "There are few people caught at the moment, sister, you hurry up and go."

The woman was unmoved, but looked up at her: "But you delivered the things?" Xiang Wanchun nodded, and the woman smiled in relief.She also heard the words just now, and she was not convinced at first, but now she finally felt relieved.

Xiang Wanchun suddenly realized: "Could it be that the people outside are all sister's people?"

The woman had a good time: "I should be here later."

Sure enough, after a while, the guards in armor were waiting in front of the door.Dressed up and looking imposing, Xiang Wanchun who was behind the woman was shocked.What kind of identity is this sister?Why are you so pompous?

Before he could think about it, a young girl in pink squeezed out from the crowd, and she said to the woman with tears in her eyes: "Thank God, it's great that you are fine, ma'am. Thanks to Master Wukong who told the place where the slave is, otherwise the slave would be here now." Haven't got a clue yet."

... Your Majesty?Xiang Wanchun couldn't turn the corner, but saw a man dressed slightly differently from others leading the way and knelt down on one knee in front of the woman: "I'm late, I hope Zhuang Concubine forgive me."

"It's good if you come." The woman's expression has returned to normal, and her demeanor is no longer as panic-stricken as before.

"I don't know how the empress will deal with them?" As he said that, the man stepped aside, and the village master and a few brothers who were quite prestigious in the camp were escorted up like this.At this time, how can the disgraced village master still have the momentum just now?The village owner still glared at the woman unwillingly, and when he glanced at Xiang Wanchun beside him, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and Xiang Wanchun hid behind the woman fearfully.

The woman seemed to notice it, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "This bandit camp has done a lot of evil and robbed and prostituted the common people. If there is a remnant of the party, it is inevitable that others will not be harmed."

"Subordinates understand," the man instructed, turned around and waved at them, "Take everyone away."

Before Xiang Wanchun realized it, someone jumped out of nowhere and grabbed her with his backhand.Shocked, Xiang Wanchun struggled in vain: "What are you doing?" It's just that her strength alone is no match for human beings, Xiang Wanchun couldn't move and was pushed forward.

The woman finally looked this way, and said softly: "Let her go."

The man let go of his hand when he got the order, but Xiang Wanchun's arm was twisted and numb, and he would not be able to relieve it for a while.

Xiang Wanchun still couldn't believe the sudden incident before him, thinking that the place that was still noisy and lively before was suddenly deserted, only the night wind whistling and whistling in his ears.Originally, he just took it for granted to save the woman, but Xiangwan couldn't digest the result.Did she do it right or wrong?Xiang Wanchun didn't know that regaining her freedom was not a good thing for her. She was alone without father, mother, and support. She even felt that she didn't know where to make a living other than living in a brothel.

Seeing people go farther and farther, Xiang Wanchun's heart sinks a little bit, what should she do?Anxiety and worry gathered in his heart, Xiang Wanchun rubbed his hands at this moment and felt a chill everywhere.

Just when Xiang Wanchun was almost hopeless, the woman suddenly stopped and looked back at her, and asked in a soft voice: "Would you like to go back with me?" sounds of nature.Thinking that the woman is so understanding and approachable, the fear that surged in my heart gradually dissipated.When someone was most helpless, someone was willing to reach out to help, and Xiang Wanchun nodded in agreement before he could think about it.
