"Who would appear on such a silent mountain road so late?"
Hua Rujin felt suspicious in her heart, and quickly found a big hidden tree and hid it behind her back.
Not long after, a big black horse came into sight.
With the torch held high, she immediately saw the figure on the horse clearly. It was none other than Sun Tian, who had plotted against the Li family.
Behind him were four boys.
Sun Tian raised his eyes and looked around, and asked hesitantly: "Didn't you say that the girl from the Hua family went to the riverside in the south of the city alone? Where are the people?"
"I saw her wandering alone by the river for a long time today, and it didn't take long. She shouldn't have returned to the city so soon."
A boy replied hesitantly: "Could it be that he was harmed by the evil spirits in the river?"
"Fuck your mother's shit."
Sun Tian cursed angrily: "I will search carefully for any evil spirits. Then there is nothing I can do about Miss He. How can I not deal with a little widow?"
The four people immediately dispersed and started searching around with torches.
Hua Rujin heard the reason, she was afraid that this guy had lost his wife and lost his troops because he didn't want to please He Shiyin, so he wanted to take it out on himself.
Then you really have found the right person.
She simply stood up and smiled charmingly at Sun Tian who was riding on the horse: "Is Mr. Sun looking for this young lady?"
"Oh, you even took the initiative to deliver it to your door."
Sun Tian happily called back a few servants and shouted with great satisfaction: "I was too blind to realize that Miss Hua is a natural beauty. Take her and take her back to the house to be a beautiful concubine."
"That depends on whether you have the ability."
Before the four of them could take action, Hua Rujin jumped onto the horse and pulled Sun Tian down, then stepped on him severely.
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, Miss Hua, please spare my life."
Sun Tian originally thought he had met someone weak and could be bullied, but he never expected that he would meet someone more powerful than the female envoy next to He Shiyin. He was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.
When the four boys saw this, they were all so cowardly that no one dared to step forward.
"Are you asking for mercy? Why don't you arrest me and make me your concubine?"
Hua Rujin picked up a dead branch and whipped him hard.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."
Sun Tian was sore all over from being beaten by her.
Just at this moment, a light sound of horse hooves sounded in the woods.
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see a tall figure appear in the forest.
Sun Tian's sharp eyes immediately recognized him as Ye Chengguan, the county magistrate. With a bitter look on his face as he cried for his father and mother, he quickly shouted: "Sir Ye, please help the common people. The common people are unjustly accused."
Ye Chengguan reined in the horse, glanced at Hua Rujin coldly, and showed a look of helplessness:
"Miss Hua is really elegant."
I searched for her everywhere, fearing that something might happen to her, that she would have the leisure to tease a man here.
"It's not what you think."
Hua Rujin lowered her head and glanced at Sun Tian who was being stepped on, and quickly released her foot.
Sun Tian panicked and crawled to Ye Chenggui's horse's hooves, begging bitterly: "Master Ye, the common people have been wronged, you must make the decision for the common people."
"You are so sneaky in the middle of the night and you dare to complain about injustice."
Ye Chengguan also saw the situation clearly, and he was afraid that Sun Tian was angry and thought he could use a soft persimmon to vent his anger.
Little did they know that the person in front of them was someone they couldn't mess with.
Slowly raising the riding crop and pointing it at Sun Tian, Ye Chengguan said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "You are a bunch of shameful people, if you don't go back to your hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if you show up to this county next time, you will be put in jail in Jiang'an County."
.”
Sun Tian didn't get any favors from either place, so he quickly climbed on his horse and fled with the boys with a bitter look on his face.
After waiting for the group of people to disappear completely, Ye Chengguan jumped off his horse, held up a torch and kept looking at her until he confirmed that she was not missing any arms or legs, and finally felt a lot more at ease.
"Why are you here?"
Thinking of the old beggar's words, Hua Rujin's tone of voice when she spoke to him suddenly became much gentler.
"Get on your horse."
Ye Chengguan directly ignored her question and gave cold instructions.
Seeing his lukewarm attitude, Hua Rujin didn't want to accept this love at all.
Ye Chengguan guessed that she must still be angry because of what happened during the day, but this barren mountain was not a place where she could stay for a long time. He silently picked her up and threw her directly onto the horse, then jumped on the horse and hurried towards the city.
go.
"Hey, Ye Chengguan, I don't want to go back to the inn."
It was the first time that Hua Rujin saw him being so rude. She struggled on the horse, but the horse's hooves galloped all the way and she couldn't breathe at all.
"I'll ask Ting An to take you back to Jiangling City tomorrow."
Ye Chengguan now wishes she could leave here as soon as possible.
"Who said I want to go back to Jiangling City."
Hua Rujin grabbed the reins of the horse tightly with one hand, used her strength to jump upright, and kicked Ye Chengwei hard, trying to seize the horse.
"This matter is not negotiable."
Ye Chengguan also held on to the horse's rein with all his strength, leaned back, and cleverly avoided her kick.
"You are not related to me, so why should you be my master?"
When Hua Rujin saw this, she just took back her left foot and stepped on the horse's back to stabilize her center of gravity, and then kicked up quickly with the other foot.
"I am an official and you are a citizen. I don't need to discuss it with you."
Ye Cheng seemed overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to throw away the torch in his hand, tighten the reins of his horse and stand up quickly, while using his free hand to block her next attack.
Under the dim moonlight, he grabbed the embroidered shoes on Hua Rujin's feet. Hua Rujin felt her feet loosen, and when she took her feet back and stepped on the horse's back, the whole sole of her feet felt cool.
"You are shameless, please return the shoes to me."
Hua Rujin cursed angrily.
Ye Chengguan was slightly startled when he touched the soft upper of the shoe, and then he realized that what he was holding in his hand was her embroidered shoe.
But before he had time to react, the horse's reins, which were pulled straight into a triangle by the two men, had choked the horse under his feet so that he couldn't breathe.
The horses struggled to free themselves and kept neighing, and finally broke their reins and galloped forward wildly.
At the moment when the horse's rein broke, Ye Chengwei subconsciously grabbed Hua Rujin, jumped up and rolled to the ground together.
Hua Rujin felt her eyes go dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she was a little confused.
With the moonlight shining in the forest, she looked around. When she lowered her gaze, she saw a pair of dark almond-shaped eyes staring at her, blinking gently.
"mean."
She quickly sat up and suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from under her butt.
Ye Chengkui endured the pain in his waist, tremblingly raised his arm and waved it, motioning for her to get out of the way.
Hua Rujin suddenly felt something bad and lowered her eyes to look, only to find that she was sitting on his waist. She hurriedly got up to help her, but Ye Chengguan stopped her with one hand and said stubbornly and painfully: "No, I can do it.
"
A dead duck has a tough mouth.
Hua Rujin took back the embroidered shoes and put them back on her feet, then forcefully pulled him on her back and carried him forward.
"Please bear with me for now, I'll find a farmhouse nearby to stay for one night."
Many strange things have happened in Jiang'an County recently. At this time, the city may have already been under curfew.
Without the horses, I don’t know how long it will take to get back to the city.
"What a arrogant and domineering woman."
Ye Chengkui had never been treated like this in his life, and he felt aggrieved for a while.
Thinking of how she had ruined the life of the second young master of the Dou family, and then thinking of her current situation, cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.
