Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 248: The house is full of wind and rain (2)
Seemingly seeing through Lu Ning's thoughts, Hu Qi said calmly from the side: "Some people have to go through some pain in order to grow up. Aren't you and I like that? There is nothing we can do about it."
Lu Ning turned his eyes and stared at him deeply.
At this time, the colorful glow spread across his face, making him look particularly calm and mature, which was very different from before.
Lu Ning couldn't help but secretly speculate on what he blurted out.
Could a young man like him, who had no worries about food and clothing, experience painful experiences?
"The day after I heard that Ma Sanbao passed away, Ma Huilan and Ye Guming parted ways. She originally wanted to take Qingfeng with her, but Qingfeng took the initiative to stay and take care of her father and help take care of the affairs of the gang." Hu Qi's words started.
Put an end to Lu Ning's random thoughts.
"Qingfeng is a kind and upright good boy! It's a pity that he has gone through so many things. I'm afraid he will never be able to be with his parents again in the future."
"That Ye Guming is too dull and stubborn, and Ma Huilan is too frivolous and ruthless! They caused the trouble themselves, but they have a child to bear all the damage!" For some reason, Hu Qi suddenly became angry, and her fingers tightened on the reins.
Trembling slightly.
Before Lu Ning had time to ask in detail, the two of them had already walked up to Ye Qingfeng.
They jumped off their horses one after another, led their horses and looked at Ye Qingfeng, speechless.
Ye Qingfeng held up his hands to Lu Ning and said in a deep voice: "Qingfeng wants to talk to the young gang leader privately about something. I wonder if I can lend him a step to talk."
Lu Ning knew why he came here, and he didn't want to get involved.
It could be seen that his eyes were slightly red, but he couldn't bear to refuse directly, so he said softly: "Okay, let's go to your room to talk."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, turned around and walked through the door.
Ye Qingfeng looked lonely and did not bother to chat with Hu Qi. He just followed Lu Ning and walked through the door.
The two came to Ye Qingfeng's room. Lu Ning looked at Ye Qingfeng who was hesitant to speak, and sighed: "If you have any questions, just ask!"
Ye Qingfeng was panic-stricken at this time. After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Why did my mother and father separate? They refused to tell me. Does the young gang leader know the reason?"
Lu Ning felt suffocated: As expected, he came just for this matter.jj.br
"How can outsiders explain things clearly between husband and wife? If they don't want to talk about it, you better not ask!" Lu Ning struggled for a long time, but still couldn't tell her about those embarrassing things about Ma Huilan.
Ye Qingfeng finally lost his temper: "That day when the young gang leader and Hu Qi came back, they had an argument with my parents at the door. I heard everything they talked about in the house after they came back! Is what they said... really?"
Lu Ning was horrified when she heard this: she remembered that day in front of the door, she and Hu Qi told all the scandals about Ma Huilan in order to force Ma Sanbao out.
I originally thought that Ye Qingfeng was not at the scene, so I said it boldly.
Unexpectedly, he finally heard it!
Her eyes flashed and she was so confused that she could only continue to pretend to be stupid: "How can I know about the conversation between husband and wife? Besides, when a husband and wife quarrel, they can say anything. Those are angry words, you
Don’t take it seriously.”
Ye Qingfeng couldn't bear it any longer and slapped his palm on the table beside him, causing the table to split in two immediately.
"Young Gang Leader, are you even unwilling to tell me the truth? I trust you so much!"
Lu Ning stood up in surprise, became furious for a moment, and shouted coldly: "If your parents refuse to tell you, are you going to come and question me? Is the truth so important? They are doing this just to protect you from harm. Don't you think so?"
Can’t you see? You have to make trouble until the end, when they can no longer face you and they all stay away from you, are you satisfied!”
Ye Qingfeng's expression changed immediately after he yelled and scolded him. He was stunned for a while and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you. I just can't understand why things turned out like this overnight!"
When he said this, his voice was trembling, his eyes were moist, and he was on the verge of tears.
Lu Ning looked ashamed, feeling that Ye Qingfeng was the most innocent person and that he should not have scolded him.
she
With a long sigh, he softly comforted: "Qingfeng, it is natural that they have to separate. You don't have to strive for a consummation. I understand your feelings very well, but sometimes the truth is more cruel, it is better not to know!"
When she said this, her clear eyes were staring into the distance, her starry eyes were like waves, and she looked a little sad.
Ye Qingfeng looked dejected, with his head lowered, standing blankly, silent, but he obviously did not give up.
While the two of them were looking at each other in silence, they heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
Then there were fierce yells: "We have been ordered by the imperial court to capture the rebels from the caravan! I have surrounded everyone in the front and backyard, don't let the rebels escape!"
The two people in the hall looked at each other, opened the window and looked out, only to see a group of soldiers and horses with weapons in hand, surrounding the caravan's yard. The leading officer's eyes were stern, and the whole place was shouting.
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Lu Ning scolded, and with a flash of silver light, he had the nine-section whip in his hand.
She turned around, opened the door, and rushed out.
Ye Qingfeng took the big knife and followed closely.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Ye Guming carrying a single sword and rushing over with a group of strong men, standing majestically at the head.
The leading military attaché has a black-purple complexion, broad shoulders and round shoulders.
He approached on horseback, glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Guming: "Are you the person in charge here?"
Ye Guming stood alone and shouted: "Ye Guming, the general manager of Lingzhou, the caravan, is here! What are you doing?"
The military attache smiled coldly and shouted: "Okay, since you are the steward, come with me to see the officer now. Capture everyone in this courtyard for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers swarmed forward and surrounded the people in front of the door.
Suddenly, a woman from the back of the crowd shouted angrily: "Wait a minute! The young leader of the caravan is here!"
Everyone looked back and saw Lu Ning, wearing a mink fur coat and a bright red brocade robe, walking majestically through the crowd.
Seeing her imposing aura, everyone in the caravan took a step back to make way for her.
Lu Ning walked up to the military attaché, glanced at him, and said solemnly: "I am the young leader of the caravan, tell me if you have anything to say!"
The leading military attache was curious and couldn't help but look her up and down: He didn't expect that the dignified caravan would have such a young and beautiful girl as its leader. However, she was not tall, but she was powerful.
The military attache shouted: "Since you said you are the manager of the caravan, then take your people and come with us! Seeing as you are a woman, I won't be rough with you, Master!"
Lu Ning smiled coldly and shouted: "Wait a minute! If you want to arrest someone, you must first tell us what crime we have committed!"
The military attache scolded: "You dare to rebel against thieves. You are planning to rebel. How dare you come to ask me? I will only take the people as ordered. You can ask the great master for the rest!"
Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ha! What a big charge. Whose order did you come to arrest this person on?"
The military attaché immediately held his head high, raised his fists to the sky, and said loudly: "Of course I am following Magistrate Cai's order!"
Lu Ning laughed and said sternly: "Prefect Cai? Are you calling for a thief to catch a thief? Do you want to impose the charge of rebellion on our caravan?"
The military attache was startled and cursed angrily: "You boldly rebelled against the traitors. Your caravan colluded with the local garrison officer Ma Sanbao, recruited soldiers and horses, made weapons privately, and conspired against evil. This is already a capital crime! Now you dare to slander the imperial officials, which is an even higher crime.
!Come here, arrest me, anyone who resists arrest will be killed on the spot!"
"How dare you!" Lu Ning shouted, and whipped out his nine-section whip.
There was only a flash of silver flowers, and the officers and soldiers nearby screamed and retreated.
The military attache's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "It seems you want to resist arrest! Crossbowmen! Shoot them all to death!"
The hearts of everyone in the caravan trembled, and everyone was in danger. They raised their weapons and prepared to fight to the death.
But Lu Ning was heard yelling angrily: "They don't know about this, let them go, and I'll go with you!"
Hu Qi and Ye Qingfeng shouted in unison: "No!"
Lu Ning doesn't even have his head
Huidi yelled angrily: "Shut up, young gang leader is talking, you have no place to interrupt!"
Hu Qi and Ye Qingfeng were frightened for a moment and did not dare to argue again.
The military attache smiled coldly and shouted: "Okay! Bring this woman back to me!"
Lu Ning waved his hand and called him: "Wait a minute! I still have something to say!"
The military attache was a little impatient and shouted angrily: "Now that things have happened, do you still want to play tricks?"
Lu Ning walked up to him and said seriously: "Since I have decided to go to see the official with you, why do I need to play tricks! I just want to explain the affairs of the gang before leaving. Why, do you think your subordinates are incompetent?
Do you want to stop me from escaping?"
The military attache's face sank and he snorted coldly: "Okay, I will see today what tricks you are trying to play!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers surrounding Lu Ning immediately moved out of the way.
Lu Ning glanced at him, turned around, and pulled Hu Qi and Ye Qingfeng aside.
Hu Qi grabbed her arm and said hurriedly: "Xiaolu, don't go! That Magistrate Cai is extremely cunning and impossible to guard against! As soon as Mr.
Unexpected!"
Ye Qingfeng was very worried and shouted in a low voice: "Young gang leader! The worst we can do is fight with them! Why are you willing to let them control you? We members of the caravan are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Lu Ning frowned slightly and scolded: "Stop trying to persuade them! They are outnumbered, and even if we fight them head-on, there will be casualties. Which brother do you want to die in vain? There is no time, just listen.
I said!"
The two of them were startled, and quickly shut up, not daring to say anything more, and just listened carefully.
Lu Ning took a deep breath, thought quickly in his mind, and whispered: "Now that Mr. Xia has sent an urgent message to the capital, I believe that the emperor will soon send someone to deal with Magistrate Cai! I will first
Go meet Magistrate Cai and try every means to hold him back. During this period, Qingfeng and Manager Ye must move everyone away as soon as possible and find a place to hide first so that they won’t be found!”
Ye Qingfeng looked solemn and nodded solemnly.
Lu Ning looked at Hu Qi and said seriously: "Xiao Qi, your task is very difficult! You have to take good care of Toto. I don't care what kind of lies you tell him, you have to cover up this matter! Let him be safe.
You are waiting for me to come back, don’t be reckless!”
Hearing this, Hu Qi suddenly became embarrassed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from Toto for long! How long do you need?"
Lu Ning pondered for a moment and said: "It's limited to ten days. If I haven't come back after ten days, you can find a way to leave Lingzhou with Toto and find my adoptive father! You must not let him find me, understand.
?」
Hu Qi raised his eyebrows, stamped his feet and shouted: "Ten days? You have to go for that long? Besides, Tuotuo is very skilled in martial arts. If I can't stop him, what should I do?"
Lu Ning pondered for a long time, then took out a waist card and a small yellow paper bag and handed it to him: "Toto obeys my adoptive father's words the most. This is my adoptive father's waist card. As long as you take out this card, he will not dare not deny it."
From then on, if he still refuses to give up, mix the powder in this paper bag into the food he eats. Just a little bit at a time, and after taking it, his whole body will become limp and he will be unable to move for a day and a night."
Hu Qi took the two objects with trembling hands and raised her eyes to look at Lu Ning uneasily: "You...you must come back! Toto and I will always be waiting for you!"
