[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Aman was very embarrassed, and his face was turning into a liver color.

Liu Xianglian is Uncle Liu, but what should I call Bao Cong?

According to Bao Cong's relationship with his father, he naturally wants to be called third uncle.But now, Bao Cong is his fiancée's elder brother. If he is called third uncle, he will be a generation lower than the princess. For a lifetime?

In a dilemma, Bogda Aman didn't call out Bao Cong's address.

Bao Cong didn't care at all, he was thinking about other more important things.

Although he guessed that the person in the carriage was not Tanchun, he didn't say anything. Instead, he secretly figured out Jiang Che, Nanny Zhu, the maid pretending to be Tanchun, and other suspicious characters.

Whose conspiracy is this, or is it their conspiracy?

But these are not important for the time being, the top priority is to get Tanchun back as soon as possible.Although they disappeared for only a few hours, who knows if they are still alive, or were kidnapped by horse bandits, or...

Tanchun is still useful to horse bandits, but are Yuanyang and Shishu still...alive?

When asked about Yuanyang and Shishu, Jiang Che said casually: "Perhaps the two girls were afraid of death, so they left the princess and fled privately. Maybe they were afraid that the princess would blame them. They haven't come back yet. The official sent a The squad guards searched, but there is no news..."

"Such a large area of ​​mountains and fields, only a small team of soldiers and guards are sent to search?" Bao Cong stared at Jiang Che coldly, "The servant and the princess grew up together, and they are like sisters, and the mandarin duck is my righteous sister to the princess. , how could you leave the Princess and run for your own life?"

Fuck him and run for your own life!

"This, this official doesn't know..."

Jiang Che didn't expect Bao Cong to be so angry, but it's just two girls!

Although Baocong calls Yuanyang a righteous sister, Jiang Che knows that Yuanyang was just a girl who served Jiamu in the past.After all, he is also the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and now he is sending off an imperial envoy in a dignified way. Bao Cong actually got angry at him because of the two girls?

Jiang Che's face turned ugly, and he could only hold back his anger and said: "The horse bandits are coming, and I naturally have to put the princess's safety first! Although the Marquis of Zhenyuan came in time and drove away the horse bandits together with this officer, but It is uncertain whether they will come back. If all the soldiers and guards go out to find those two girls, who will protect the princess?"

Protect the princess?

Bao Cong was so angry that his face was distorted!

I really want to question Jiang Che loudly and ask him if he knows that the "princess" in the carriage is a fake!The real Tanchun has disappeared!

But, no.

Rationally speaking, if this matter is known, it will only damage Tanchun's reputation.No matter what the purpose of pretending to be Tanchun is, it is the best choice to follow the plan.

Taking a deep breath, Bao Cong quickly said: "Master Jiang is right. Although the horse bandits have been driven away, they may come back. It is not safe for the convoy to camp here. Master Jiang should arrange the convoy to leave as soon as possible and arrive at the post station. Or it would be better to settle in the town!"

Before Jiang Che could answer, Bao Cong quickly cupped his hands at O'Man and said, "The princess is entrusted to you. She was frightened and needs to rest well. When you arrive at the resettlement place, please send more people from Marquis Zhenyuan." Take care of the Princess, please don't let anyone disturb her rest."

Aman, who was struggling, was still a little stunned. He only responded, but didn't react. He didn't catch up until he saw Bao Cong and Liu Xianglian ordering two teams of soldiers to leave, and asked, "Where are the two uncles going? Why are you different from us?" Go together?"

Baocong replied as he walked: "The mandarin duck and the servant book must be found. Brother Liu and I will look for them, and you will go first." Then he ordered Dongming: "You stay and help Lord Hou take care of the princess." Added in a low voice: "Keep an eye on people, don't leave anyone behind."

Dongming stared and was stunned.

marking?Who are you staring at?Don't leave any one behind?How many people does he have to watch?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dong Ming couldn't ask in detail, so he could only watch Bao Cong leave, while he quickly looked around, scanning the figures in the darkness one after another, trying to figure out which one to focus on...

The guards searched the mountains aimlessly, but found nothing.

Liu Xianglian knew that Bao Cong was anxious, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only focus on the messy ruts and footprints on the ground, trying to find the traces of Yuanyang and the others leaving.

Bao Cong stood on the horseback, held the torch, and tried to look at the dark night in the distance.

There was a light rain falling from the sky, Liu Xianglian looked up and said to herself, "Not good!"

Several hours had already passed, and now it was night again. It was already extremely difficult to find the traces of Yuanyang and the others leaving, but if the rain washed away and the traces disappeared, it would be almost impossible to find people!

Liu Xianglian was about to remind the soldiers and guards to speed up the search, but Bao Cong jumped off the horse and shouted for the soldiers and guards.

"Let me ask you, did the convoy stay here when the bandits came?"

The head of the military guard nodded, "Go back to your lord, it's here!"

"Then where is the princess' car? Is it there too?" Bao Cong pointed to the place where the "princess" car was parked before.

The head of the military guard looked around and shook his head, "My lord, it's not. At that time, the horse bandits attacked, and the scene was very chaotic, but the villain vaguely remembered that the princess's car seemed to be parked in another place."

The soldier stretched out his hand, pointed to the distance in another direction, and rowed in the original direction, "When the Marquis of Zhenyuan didn't come, the princess's car was surrounded by horse bandits and blocked there. It was the Marquis of Zhenyuan who led people to The horse bandits who besieged the car were killed, and the princess' car got there."

After listening to Bao Cong and Bingwei's question and answer, Liu Xianglian immediately understood, "We're looking for the wrong one! We should look for it over there!"

Bao Cong nodded and rode on the horse, "That's right, according to Jiang Che's words, Yuanyang and Shishu disappeared as soon as the horse bandit arrived. It is very likely that the third sister and the others had already left the carriage by then."

Going back to the place where the car stopped at the beginning, Bao Cong found traces in the seabuckthorn bushes beside the road.

Seabuckthorn is a plant that always grows densely and closely together, and the branches are full of thorns.It was on the branches that Bao Cong found the lines of some dresses, and Liu Xianglian also found a path that had been trodden on.

After walking a few meters along the trail, Bao Cong and Liu Xianglian found a few small footprints, and they believed it to be Tan Chun and the others.

At first there were three people, and then it became four people, and then the footsteps became more and more messy, and there were several more men's footprints.

Someone is chasing them!

The deeper one went, the more critical the situation seemed, because there were many fragments of dresses on the seabuckthorn branches.They even pushed aside the seabuckthorn branches one by one, and it was too late to avoid the thorns...

Then, they found it.

A corpse in a veiled hood and a woman's cloak.

Turning the body over, both Bao Cong and Liu Xianglian recognized that it was Uncle Zhang, the driver for Tanchun.

He's dead, where are Tanchun and the others?

The rain gradually became heavier, and Bao Cong became more and more anxious.

"Brother Liu, we must have missed something!"

Liu Xianglian said: "They must have gone in another direction on the way, let's go back the same way to find them!"

Bao Cong wiped away the rainwater, and asked Bingwei to go back to look for it, "Be careful! They may have covered up their traces in order to escape!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xianglian patted Bao Cong's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, looking at Uncle Zhang's appearance, it should be to distract those people. They probably haven't been caught, maybe they are hiding somewhere now."

"I hope so." Bao Cong held his breath, still anxious.He looked at Uncle Zhang's body, and ordered two soldiers and guards to carry him to the official road, planning to bury him tomorrow.

Tanchun and their savior cannot let him expose his corpse to the wilderness like this.

"Found it!" The soldiers and guards in the distance yelled, and Bao Cong and Liu Xianglian hurried over.

Searching all the way, I walked several miles until I reached the edge of the mountain wall.Holding torches, everyone raised their heads and looked up. After searching for a while, they actually saw a slender figure in the depression of the mountain wall among the layers of vines.

"Yuanyang! Servant! Is it you?" Bao Cong shouted.

A small head poked out cautiously from the depression, saw Bao Cong's face by the light of the torch, immediately shed tears, and responded crying: "Third Master, it's us!"

It's the servant!

Bao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xianglian was overjoyed and said happily, "It's them! We found it!"

Bao Cong raised his voice and shouted again: "Are the three of you here? Are you injured?" The rain smeared his mouth, but he was happy in his heart, so happy that the taste of rain was sweet.

The servant poked his head out again and shouted, "The three of us are all here, the girl twisted her foot!"

Although the words were a bit strange, the soldiers and guards only thought that there were three maids on it, and the "girls" mentioned in the servants' book also thought they were mandarin ducks.

The question now is, how to get them down?

The girl's family, she usually looks so weak, how did she climb up to the height of more than ten meters?Could it be that running for their lives stimulated their potential?

But it was not easy for Bingwei to climb up the mountain wall with vines to a height of more than ten meters. Could the girls be better than Bingwei?

The head of the military guard looked up for a quarter of an hour, but gave up exploring how they climbed up, and instead considered how to get them down safely.

Let them grab the vines and jump directly, and the guards catch them?

No, no!

This is a technical job, it doesn't matter if they can do it or not, even if they do it, the guards may not be able to handle it!

The girls might as well smash the soldiers to death!
