The two robbers quickly picked up their pants and ran to the back window to take a look, but there was no sign of anyone anywhere.
At this time, there was a banging on the front yard door.
The two of them were frightened, holding weapons in hand, and slowly moved to the door.
"Who is out there? Tell me your name!"
There was still no response, but the sound of knocking made a complete circle along the courtyard wall.
The two robbers could no longer keep their composure. The robber with a cruel face ordered the other one:
"You keep an eye on the goods. I'll go out and meet him to see if he's a human or a ghost!"
"Okay, brother, be careful!"
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, the young man hurriedly hid. The robber circled around the courtyard, but no one was there. He was so angry that he slashed at the wall with his knife.
"Whoever dares to mess with me again, don't blame me for not sparing anyone!"
He hurried back to the yard.
"We can't stay here any longer. Take the goods and let's go."
The two of them stuffed Xiaolian and Nanny Zheng back into the sacks, and each of them picked up one before moving.
Xiaolian and grandma were jolted for a while, and then they woke up slowly. When they opened their eyes, they found that they were in a sack and someone was holding them on their shoulders. They suddenly panicked.
"Woo woo, woo woo..."
Their mouths were gagged and they could only whimper.
Xiaolian remembered that before she fell into coma, she was on her way to General Chu's Mansion.
Madam Chu! Madam is giving birth, and the Crown Princess has asked her to take good care of Madam.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xiaolian was extremely anxious, but her little struggle was of no use.
"Damn, he's actually awake."
"Brother, let's just kill him! It's a burden."
"Are you stupid? We haven't got half of the money yet. Now we're going to break up the vote. If someone cheats and refuses to give us the money, we'll suffer a big loss!"
"Yes, yes, brother is still thoughtful."
The two of them walked to the courtyard gate and looked around, but no one was there. They didn't know where the ghost was hidden.
Just as he was about to move sneakily, the young man suddenly stood up on his own.
"Stop! I was ordered to pick up the goods. Where are you going with the goods?"
If he doesn't come out, he will really leave.
Hearing the boy's voice, Xiaolian stopped struggling and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
The two robbers took a look at the handsome young man in front of them. He was still dressed as a scholar.
But driven by money, they still stopped.
"Only you? Can you control two? Oh, I get it, you're here to watch us fight, right? No problem, bring the money, and we'll finish the job right now."
"Our master did not ask me to kill them. Our master wants to take them back for questioning. Come with me."
The young man turned around and pretended to lead the way. The kidnapper was completely angry.
"Do you think we are stupid? Who is your master? How much money did you set with us? Why did the contact person change? I think you are here to die, right?"
Not only was the young man not afraid, he turned back and sneered.
"I think you are just stupid. How can our master's identity be told to you, people from all walks of life? How much money you have ordered is none of my business. When you come to the master, someone will give you money. That joint you have seen
People who have done something wrong are already dead."
Dead? The kidnapper frowned, seeing that this kid was talking clearly and arrogantly. Is it true?
"Where is your master now?"
This actually stopped the young man from asking.
"Where did all this nonsense come from? Won't you know when you get here? Let me tell you, you can't afford to offend our master. If you are wise, you'd better not offend me!"
After hearing so much, Xiaolian was certain that the boy who talked to the kidnapper was none other than the eldest brother of the orphans in the academy, Wen Yang.
Who is the master in Wen Yang's words? Is it possible that Wen Yang betrayed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?
No, no, how could a young man as studious and positive as Wen Yang collude with bad people? No way.
Xiaolian was using her remaining rationality to analyze the current situation when she heard a kidnapper ask:
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Kill this kid, no matter what, we don't want half of the money!"
Xiaolian was startled. She wanted to tell Wen Yang to run away quickly, but her words came out as a whine.
Wen Yang actually ran away, shouting as he ran.
"Help, there are robbers, help!"
Although he shouted, he didn't have much hope in his heart. Most of the houses here were abandoned and there were few people. He just wanted to delay it for a while, hoping that a miracle would happen.
With sweat all over his face, he was carrying Xiao Lian and caught up with Wen Yang in just a few steps. He swung the big knife in his hand and was about to cut Wen Yang's back.
Wen Yang thought that he really had to confess here this time, and he could repay His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess for their kindness in saving their lives and taking in and educating their orphans.
It's a pity that his great ambition has not yet been rewarded.
But he saw a figure flying over his head. The next moment, the robber was kicked in the chin, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. The figure followed the other robber.
Wen Yang saw that the sack thrown by the robber was about to fall to the ground in pain. Without thinking much, he jumped to the ground and used it as a human cushion.
"Cough, cough, cough."
He took a break from the pain and raised his eyes to take a closer look. The person who came was actually the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Wenzhong.
Xiaolian in the sack thought she would be hit hard, but unexpectedly, she landed so softly.
Hearing Wen Yang's cough, she realized that she had landed on something and rolled around to the ground.
"Ahem."
As soon as Wen Yang got up, he coughed a few more times, but did not forget to untie the rope of the sack.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xiaolian's eyes were filled with tears. She really felt for Mrs. Chu and cried anxiously.
Wen Yang thought she was scared and comforted her with soft words.
"Aunt Xiaolian, don't be afraid. It's okay. Mr. Chu is here to save us. Those two robbers are no match for him."
As he spoke, he took away the rag from Xiaolian's mouth and loosened Xiaolian's clothes.
Xiaolian was free and did not bother to say thank you to her savior, so she hurriedly got up and ran to Aunt Zheng's sack.
Seeing that she was anxious, Wen Yang also came to help and released Nanny Zheng.
Xiaolian picked up Nanny Zheng and pushed her towards Chu Wenzhong's horse.
"Mother Zheng, get on your horse quickly!"
Wen Yang was stunned.
"Aunt Xiaolian, why don't you ask grandma if she knows how to ride a horse?"
The nuns who serve the nobles in the palace don't seem to know how to ride a horse. If they fall off the horse, someone will die.
Xiaolian didn't even look back. She had already climbed onto the horse.
"I can! Drive!"
Wen Yang's mouth was half-open, watching Xiaolian Juechen leave. He looked back at the eldest son of the Chu family who had beaten the two kidnappers into pig heads and tied them into rice dumplings.
There are words in the mouth.
"It's not unusual for a maid from the Chu family to come out. It's not unusual anymore."
Xiaolian brought Nanny Zheng to General Chu's Mansion as quickly as possible.
Grandma Zheng, who had never ridden a horse, was confused and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Before she could catch her breath, Xiaolian pulled her and ran towards the inner courtyard again.
"Mother Zheng, hurry up, life is at stake."
"ah--"
In the delivery room, Mrs. Chu's voice was hoarse, and General Chu was panting nervously. He went outside to ask Dr. Zhang again.
