The city gate slowly opened, and several riders rode out one after another, but soon disappeared.

The city gatekeeper signaled his subordinates to close the city gate again while discussing with the people around him.

"I wonder if other than the Seventh Young Master, which family in the city will be holding a wedding tonight? It's really unlucky that the bride was snatched away right now."

"In my opinion, those people just now are not simple..."

"Do you still need to look at it?" He raised the token in his hand and said, "With this, how can he be a simple person?"

"That's why I'm curious about the bride's appearance. Such an identity depends on robbing..."

"That's true..."

The two of them were laughing and joking, when they saw a sudden commotion in the distance. Pedestrians avoided and people turned their backs on their shoulders.

Just as he was about to send someone to check it out, another group of people rushed over.

When I got closer, I saw that they were all uniformly dressed and turned out to be soldiers from the governor's office.

Before the two of them could speak, the leader took the lead and asked: "Is there anyone leaving the city just now?!"

The city gatekeeper was stunned for a moment: "There are indeed a few..."

Afraid of being held responsible for dereliction of duty, he quickly took out the token and said, "They are holding this, and we will let them go according to the order."

The soldiers saw the object clearly and secretly said, "Open the city gate quickly!"

The city gatekeeper asked him if he also had an order. When he heard that he didn't, he refused.

Although these people looked solemn and looked like something big was going on, their responsibilities lay in the fact that anyone leaving the city at night must have a token from the governor's office or a handwriting.

The soldiers were furious and pointed their riding whip at him: "We are going to chase the robbers. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?!"

The city gatekeeper was confused: "A group of people came to snatch the bride in the middle of the night. Where are the robbers?"

I still feel a little unhappy. Doesn't this imply that they are unable to defend the city well?

The soldiers of the government were almost furious: "They robbed the governor's wife! The one who was kidnapped was the bride of the Seventh Young Master!"

"What?!" The city gatekeeper was shocked.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and open the city gate!!!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The city gatekeeper came to his senses and knew that he had caused a big disaster.

With trembling legs, he rolled and crawled, shouting loudly: "Open the city gate quickly! Chase the robbers!!!"

-

The soldiers of Hujiafu summoned soldiers to patrol the city, and they followed closely and slowly, looking for traces. They were about to catch up, but they were blocked by the Hutuo River that ran through it.

The gangster they mentioned had already boarded a walking boat, which was floating in the middle of the river, far away from the shooting range.

The leading soldiers looked around, but it was still late at night, where could they find a second boat?

I can only beat my hands in anger, but there is nothing I can do.

"Sir, what are we waiting for?"

In order to be on the safe side, Scarface's entourage arranged several groups of people in Huatong City, all pretending to be Jie's relatives, and when they left the Hu's mansion, they went to several other city gates.

The purpose is to distract attention and firepower, so that even if the Hu family pursues their troops, it won't be too difficult to deal with them.

The Hutuo River has already arranged a boat to meet you, so as long as you get on the boat, you will have no worries.

Fortunately for the young master, he suddenly asked the boatman to stop halfway through the boat, as if he was waiting for the Hu family to catch up.

Xiao Yuandu didn't answer him, and ordered someone to fetch a crossbow, pull the bow string with his hand, and when the bow string was fully stretched, he placed the arrow in the arrow path.

Scarface's attendant noticed something like a letter and silk tied to the tail of the arrow, "Mr...."

Before he could express his doubts, the young master had already pulled the hanging knife.

The bow and arrow left the string and were shot out with great force.

The leading soldier saw the arrow coming straight towards him and was about to dodge. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of taking his life, and the arrow hit the ground.

The subordinate noticed the letter and got off his horse to show it to him.

"The bride of the Hu family belongs to me. If you are not convinced, come to Jiyuan to find Xiao Yuandu."

This young man is so bold!

"Let's go back and report to the lord!"

After learning what was written in the book, Scarface felt like he was struck by lightning.

He was really puzzled: "Since you have already snatched the man, why would you say such cruel words?!" He also gave his name.

So what were they trying to do with all the disguises they made before?

The captain started the boat again. Xiao Yuandu threw the crossbow to him, leaned into the cabin, and found an empty place to lie down.

A step away from him, lying was the snatched bride.

Annoyed by the question, he said: "Are you done yet?"

The steward of the Hu Mansion and the soldiers who were welcoming the bride had seen their faces, and they were masked to avoid complications. If the robbery failed, they could escape in time without leaving any further trouble.

As for reporting his family status, people have already grabbed it. If he doesn't report it, he won't be able to hide it for long, not to mention that he had no intention of hiding it in the first place.

This is what is most puzzling about Scarface.

"If the young master really loves this daughter-in-law of the Hu family, he would have had the opportunity to take her away before crossing the Su River. Why would he go to such trouble?"

Xiao Yuandu rested his arm on his head and turned over, "What I lack is not a woman."

It took Scarface a long time to figure out what he meant, and his eyes widened instantly.

Young Master, if someone is kidnapped before crossing the Si River, then Jiang Nu will be a concubine at best and will never see the light of day for the rest of her life.

But things are different now. The Hu family was robbed at their wedding banquet, and they were involved in a wedding robbery in Beidi... The master wants to marry Jiang Nu?!

"Master! Are you serious?"

Scarface felt his jaw dropped in shock.

When did the young master become so deeply in love with that Jiang girl?

Haven't you always been interested in the girl from the Fan family and won't give up until you find her?

Moreover, the daughter-in-law that the lord prefers is a girl from the Zhong family!

Xiao Yuandu snorted, picked up the hat next to him, covered his face and stopped talking.

I left Scarface behind and stood in the middle of the aisle, looking at the unconscious bride on the left, then at the sleepy young man on the right, and then at the dark river outside. I really wanted to dive in.

When Jiang Fusang woke up, the lights in the room were dim.

She didn't know how many days had passed, but she knew that this was not the night she was robbed.

Because she woke up briefly in the middle, but it was only short-lived, and then fell asleep all the way to this day.

He sat up quickly and looked at himself. His clothes were in good condition.

Standing up and looking around, I could tell from the interior layout that it was no ordinary home.

When I tried to open the door, I found that the door was locked and the windows were nailed shut so that not even a fly could escape.

Perhaps it was because he was hungry, but after taking only a few steps, Jiang Fusang felt weak all over, and his head and eyes were a little dull.

"Come here! Is there anyone?" The voice was weak.

After shouting several times, the door finally opened.

Two tall and strong servant women came in. One of them stepped out when she saw that she was awake, whether to reply or something.

Jiang Fusang asked the remaining one: "Where is this? Where are the people who came to rob me?"

The servant girl seemed to be deaf.

Jiang Fusang knew that he couldn't get anything out of the question, so he weighed the difference between the two of them, and felt that he couldn't beat her even if he tried hard, so he simply gave up his thoughts.

"Is there any food? I'm hungry."

The servant's deafness healed immediately without any medicine: "Madam, please wait a moment."

After that, he left.

Madam? What kind of lady is she called?

Jiang Fusang was puzzled, but the food was quickly delivered.

There are soup cakes, meat soup, washing water and utensils.

After Jiang Fusang washed up, he knelt down behind the desk and ate quietly.

The two servant girls were a little surprised when they saw that she didn't cry or make trouble.

After the meal, Jiang Fusang tried to chat while the two of them were putting away the tableware.
