Xuan took off her armor, then briefly talked about the battle in Nanguan, and then returned to Hei Lian's house. Before her buttocks were warm, Jiazi and the others brought three meat buns and threw them into her arms one by one.
Ning Ping said coquettishly:
"Mom, Xiaoqi misses you, doesn't she?"
Hyun asked:
"What do you think?"
"I think about it when I'm eating, I think about it when I'm dreaming, and I still think about it when I'm crazy on the streets."
Ning clicked his tongue:
"Mom, don't listen to her. She only misses her when she's hungry or wants to eat the food she cooked."
Hyun stretched out his arms and hugged all three meat buns:
"Want to eat the food cooked by mom? Can mom cook it for you today?"
Just as Ning Ping was about to say yes, Ning Cheng glared back. Ning Cheng said:
"Mom just came back today, so you should have a good rest. I heard from dad that the rebel armies may be coming in the next few days. Mom should recharge her batteries. After all these are settled, she can prepare delicious food for us. .”
Hyun felt warm in her heart and kissed Ning Cheng loudly:
"Oh, my precious son, you will definitely be a warm-hearted man in the future. Your mother won't be willing to give you up to another woman. You should be your little lover."
Ning Cheng's face turned red due to the fuss, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Ning Jing held Xuan's face in her hands and said with a pout:
"Xiao Qi also wants to ring."
Hyun also kissed Ning Ping's pink lips loudly, and turned to look at Ning Meng. Ning Meng immediately blushed and wanted to run away. Hyun grabbed him, kissed him forcefully, and then followed the three little meat buns. They were playing around, and then Huami picked up Yao'er, who was still unsteady in walking, and the five of them rolled into a ball until Huami came and called for dinner.
Before Ye Yao and his troops arrived, the good news about Nanguan had already spread all over the sky. Ye Yao and the others were shocked. They didn't expect that even the powerful Zhao State was no match for Kun Yu State. Shi Hu also sent a message from the other side. He wrote a letter, accusing them of not being trustworthy, tricking him into sending troops, and confiscating all the shops owned by Hua Da in Zhao State. The losses this time were greater than the losses of Ning Sheng and others in confiscating land and people. Hua Da people were full of bitterness.
But now everyone is riding on the tiger's back and can't get off even if they want to. Ning Fang has also ordered the arrest of the rebellious nobles. Every day, the Imperial Army can be seen running back and forth on the streets.
Ye Yao and the others were also ready to escape, but Teng Yan's two sons were still in the prison and ran to play for Ye Yao.
Ye Yao was now a clay Buddha crossing the river and could not save himself. He had no time to pay attention to Teng Qi and Teng Fu. However, he also had a mentality of "you will not live well even if I die", which prompted him to comfort Teng Yan and told him to join the army outside the city. , let’s attack the capital together, they talk so much, as if attacking the capital of a country is very easy.
Teng Yan was eager to save his son, but he didn't think much about it. He felt that this was the only way to save his son, so he readily agreed.
Lu Tong saw that Ning Feng was so busy these days that he rarely came back from the house, and even neglected to take care of his three children, so his mind became active again.
After what happened last time, Lu Tong became smarter. Not only did he pretend to be docile in front of others, but he also kept his eyebrows low and submissive, and he also carefully observed the secret guards around the three bastards day and night.
As the saying goes, a wise man will always make mistakes. It is also said that if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being missed. The secret guard is also a human being, and cannot be like a machine with its strings tightened all the time. There will always be naps, negligence, and being caught. Lu Tong's disguise was paralyzing, so while Jiazi and the others were sleeping and the secret guards were napping, Lu Tong sneaked into the children's room and stole the three children out of the house.
In the middle of the night, Teng Yan was woken up from his sleep and asked in a panic:
"What happened?!"
The servant said:
"There was a woman at the back door who said she wanted to meet Mr. Teng."
Teng Yan was puzzled that a woman came to him at such a late hour. He thought about it a few times in his mind and decided to go out to meet her. He called some nurses to go with him.
When I got to the back door, I saw a woman in a cloak. Her face was covered by a hat, so I couldn't tell who she was. She was standing in the shadows, which really didn't feel good.
When the woman saw him coming out, she went up to him, took off her cloak and hat and said:
"Master Teng, I am Lu Tong."
Teng Yan felt a chill all over his body:
What do Ning Yu’s people want from me now?!
Lu Tong saw his nervousness and smiled:
"Master Teng, don't be nervous. I am here to give you a gift for Master Teng."
As he spoke, he pulled out a bag from the shadow beside him and opened it to reveal Ning Ping's face full of tears.
Teng Yan looked at Ning Ping who was bound and gagged in surprise, and looked up at Lu Tong's pretty face:
"You, what do you mean?"
Lu Tong said while tying the mouth of the bag:
"I have long heard that King Yi is not at odds with Master Teng and is suppressing Master Teng everywhere. Now the emperor has arrested Master Teng's two sons. I want to help Master Teng. These three sons are enough to exchange for Master Teng's two sons. .”
After hearing this, Teng Yan's shock had dissipated and he said calmly:
"You wouldn't give me such a big gift in vain, would you? Tell me what you want."
Lu Tong laughed:
"As expected of Master Teng, I'll just tell you straight away. I want to ask Master Teng to help me leave the capital. All I need to do is leave the capital."
Teng Yan thought about it and felt that this was a business that was sure to make a profit, and Lu Tong threw himself into a trap and kept this woman, maybe she would be of some use in the future.
After agreeing to her, he let her into the Taishi Mansion and arranged a room for her to rest, but she insisted on staying with the children. Teng Yan snorted secretly and didn't care much.
After the arrangements were made, he quickly went to see the things he had packed and picked them up. He only brought some valuable treasures and a change of clothes, and nothing else. He hid them in the house because he now had to bring four more. If a person with a very sensitive identity runs away, you should pay as little attention as possible.
When everything was almost done, Teng Juan was called up and drove two carriages towards the city gate without any servants.
As soon as the city gate opened, two carriages arrived at the city gate. The gatekeepers did not receive the order not to allow Teng Yan to leave the city, so they greeted him politely and let the two carriages out of the city. After walking out of the sight of the city guards, two carriages The carriage ran like crazy.
Teng Juan held on to the hood frame of the car, trying to stabilize his body as much as possible, and asked reproachfully:
"Father, what's going on?"
Teng Yan ignored her and looked at the road outside with a frown.
After running like this for about two hours, Teng Yan called to stop. Without saying a word, he jumped out of the carriage. Teng Juan complained and rubbed his sore arms.
Soon Teng Yan came back and threw three bags in. Before Teng Juan could ask what was going on, Teng Yan gave the coachman a look, and the coachman started running wildly again. He didn't stop running, and Teng Juan was jolted. All the internal organs are coming out.
While she was slandering in her mind, the car bumped, and a bag hit the seat. A slight grunting sound came from inside. Teng Juan was shocked. She stared back and forth at the three pockets with her eyes rounded. She always thought that there were three pockets in them. They pretend to be things, but they don’t want to be people!
After calming down, he knelt on the ground and opened one of the bags. When he saw Ning Meng inside, his eyes could pop out. He instantly understood what Teng Yan was going to do and why he was running like this. He was running away. ah!
Teng Juan's bottom line is not to touch the children. This idea is naive in the harem, back house, and officialdom, but she just can't bear to do it to the children. They are all soft and cute, so cute. How could she do this? hand.
After sorting out Teng Yan's thoughts, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and quickly opened the other two bags. Sure enough, it was Ning Cheng and Ning Jing.
Teng Juan ignored Ning Cheng's glare and collapsed on the ground:
"Father is crazy! Father must be crazy!" He looked back and forth at the three children, then immediately sat up and grabbed them and said, "You are in danger now. Don't make trouble. Be obedient. Father must want to replace your brother with you." And my brother, so I won’t do anything to you, but if you don’t follow him, your father is very likely to do something to hurt you.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the three children nervously. These three were all human beings. Although they were still young, they would definitely understand what she said.
Ning Ping and Ning Meng looked at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng thought for a moment and nodded to express his understanding.
Teng Juan breathed a sigh of relief:
"I will untie you now, and then you must follow me. Don't think about confronting father, let alone trying to escape. Father must have guards around him. I know you are all smart, but you must also understand that you are just a child. ,In terms of physical strength and other aspects, you will never be able to compare with us."
After saying that, she squeezed Ning Cheng's arm hard to make him understand that even if she was a woman, he wouldn't be able to do it if she really made a move.
Ning Cheng looked at Teng Juan, then at his younger siblings. Although his father told them to be more careful about Teng Juan when they were in the palace, now he felt that Teng Juan was not as bad as his father thought.
However, throw this thought out of your mind right away:
Whether Teng Juan is a good person or not will be judged later. Now we have to put her in the enemy's position and we cannot take her lightly.
After making a decision in his mind, he nodded to Teng Juan in agreement.
Teng Juan let them go and took out some food from the package, and the three of them wolfed it down.
Ning Cheng hugged Ning Ping and Ning Meng and sat across from Teng Juan. He was very wary of her. But Teng Juan had no time to pay attention to their mood. She was thinking about how to inform Ning Yan that Teng Yan dared to move. The child has definitely touched Ning Yan's side. Now the Teng family can't even think about it anymore. She has to find a way to save it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Ping's bracelet. It was very unique. Teng Juan's mind suddenly flashed and he immediately rushed over to pick off Ning Ping's bracelet. Ning Ping was so frightened that she cried. Ning Cheng and Ning Meng rushed forward to push Teng Juan away.
Teng Juan waved the two of them away impatiently and lowered his voice and said:
"Is there something special about you that people can tell is yours at a glance?"
Ning Meng pounced on Teng Juan again and tried to push her away:
"No, what on earth do you, a woman, want to do?!"
Ning Cheng held him down:
"Do as she says."
Although Ning Ping and Ning Meng didn't believe in Teng Juan, they believed in Ning Cheng. Ning Ping took off her bracelet obediently. Ning Meng touched around her body and touched the jade pendant around her neck. Ning Cheng touched Ning Ming's hand. His ring was still a little big for the ring he was wearing, so he hung it around his neck, and the three of them handed the things to Teng Juan.
Teng Juan said with a bitter face:
"Is that all?"
He looked up at the three children. They were all snatched away by Lu Tong in their sleep. They didn't even have shoes. They were able to find three accessories. It was considered a blessing among misfortunes. He sighed and tore them off from his underwear. Three pieces of cloth were taken down, three items were wrapped, and one was thrown out at some distance.
Ning Ping wanted to ask, but was stopped by Ning Cheng's eyes. (To be continued)
