Chapter 241: close call

It was late at night, and there was not a single star in the sky, Xiao Lingchuan came out of the cell, and heard from the yamen servant that the result of the final election of Empress Baihua was announced.

It wasn't Xia Jixiang, the prefect's daughter, but Liu Xian'er, the number one beauty in Licheng.

He doesn't pay much attention to the Hundred Flowers Festival. His wife is interested, so he must accompany him. The Hundred Flowers Lady prays for blessings, which has a good meaning, and the couple can also get blessings if they join in the fun.

Xia Jixiang's carriage was parked at the door of the magistrate's back house. At this moment, the people on the street gradually dispersed, but the servants said that Aunt Lan didn't come back with her people.

"You mean, my wife and the others haven't returned yet?"

Xiao Lingchuan looked up at the sky, frowning.

My wife doesn't have the habit of returning home late, could it be that Zhang Ruyi took her to go shopping?

"Aunt Lan and her cousin are missing, and the coachman they sent was hit on the head with a brick and passed out in the stable."

Xia Jixiang almost cried, she just got the news that her father sent people to search for people throughout the city. The coachman has not yet woken up, and it is not clear what happened.

"The barn in Baixiangju has long been used to pile firewood. It was the boy who picked up things and found someone, so he reported it to the official."

Xia Jixiang was so anxious that she asked people to park the carriage at the gate of the back house, and she waited outside for news.

"Borrow a horse for use."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Lingchuan took the driver's collar and threw it to the ground. He untied the reins, jumped, sat on the horse's back, whipped the horse, and quickly disappeared on the street.

"Miss, this...isn't this too fast?"

The horses of the carriage were taken away, leaving only a carriage at the door, with four wheels underneath, like a moving wooden house.

The husband and wife had only been separated for a few hours, and something went wrong. Xiao Lingchuan couldn't describe his mood at this moment.

The horses were galloping on the street, and along the way, he met many policemen looking for someone, and he estimated the distance and chose the nearest suburb.

The final election of Empress Baihua has just ended, and the people have not yet dispersed. There are many cars on the street, and the robbers are smooth. There is only one way to go, and that way...

That road leads to a cliff in Licheng, and there is a raging sea below, if...he dare not think about it, so he can only flick his whip desperately.

At the same time, as expected, Zhang Ruyi and Zhang Ruyi got out of the carriage, and Boss Xu was smiling triumphantly.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Since they can't resist, they should obediently accept their fate, which can save the pain of flesh and blood.

"You think too much."

Li Haitang took a sip of tea, admiring her big heart, she took out the hairpin, leaned forward, and stuck the golden hairpin into the horse's buttocks just as Boss Xu was about to get into the carriage.

"hiss!"

The horse was frightened, and raised its front hooves, directly threw the boss Xu out, and kicked down the two young men by the way.

"See you!"

Li Haitang waved his hand in the carriage, and then the horse started galloping like a shadow, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Several minions chased after him fiercely, but they couldn't run faster with two legs than four legs. After chasing several hundred meters, they gave up.

"This **** is willing to kill herself, and we've saved some arsenic."

The little guy was lying on the grass, rolling around, they were not worried at all, there was a cliff not far away, and the carriages and horses fell off, and they would definitely die.

Inside the carriage, Li Haitang was humming a ditty, don't be afraid of getting lost, as long as you can get back sooner or later, just get rid of people.

Unfortunately, she guessed the beginning, but not the end.

In front, there is a large stone platform, the bottom is pitch black, it seems to be bottomless.

Cliffs!

Li Haitang dropped the teacup and put the rein on the broken porcelain pieces, but the rein connecting the chariot and horse was too strong and could not be cut at all.

The distance from the cliff was getting closer and closer. At this moment, when she jumped off the car, she would follow the inertia and be thrown out, or she would die tragically under the hooves of the mad horse.

In the nick of time, Li Haitang was almost desperate, and was struggling at the moment of life and death. This feeling was quite bad. She thought of a lot. Her savage husband, from acquaintance to being together, has a deep relationship, her greatest wish has not been fulfilled, and she has not yet given He bears children, she cannot die.

"Lady, jump out! Don't be afraid, I'll follow you!"

Not far away, a horse approached at a speed visible to the naked eye. The horse's speed reached its limit, but it could not compare with Crazy Horse. In order to speed up, Xiao Lingchuan had no choice but to stab the horse's ass, and his horse was also frightened.

The cliff is just over ten meters away, and it will be there in the blink of an eye. He estimates that the fastest speed is still a little bit short, and he can't bear the slightest error now.

A slight difference is a thousand miles away.

No matter how strong Xiao Lingchuan is, he can't shake the frightened horse and the speeding carriage, he dare not be conceited.

"Husband, you are finally here!"

Li Haitang only felt that there was a light in the darkness, passing through the thick fog, coming towards her.

That light, emitting heat, is where all her warmth lies.

Without any hesitation, Li Haitang opened the car window and flew out.

Flying in the air, surrounded by nowhere, only the sound of the wind in my ears. Li Haitang trembled, not daring to open his eyes.

In the next second, she smelled the fresh mint fragrance and entered into her stiff chest. Xiao Lingchuan hugged her, rolled on the ground a few times and slowed down.

"Husband."

Li Haitang's eyes were moist, and he choked up a cry, followed by a long silence.

Thousands of words, all in silence.

"Are you freaking out?"

Xiao Lingchuan hugged her tightly, and patted her on the back lightly, "Don't leave my sight from now on, there will be no danger."

"Even if there is, I will share it for you."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Am I too useless?"

Li Haitang was crying, her eyes were as clear as if washed with water, she raised her head in his arms, staring at his cheek.

She was greedy for life and afraid of death. For a moment, thinking that she would never see her wild husband again, Li Haitang was so desperate that she couldn't breathe.

That feeling is more terrifying than death.

"My lady, it's not your fault that others have evil intentions."

Xiao Lingchuan caressed his wife's soft long hair. He had too much dark knowledge in the world, so he was cold-hearted. Only her heart is a pure land.

He couldn't bear to let her see the filth of the world and the ugliness of the human heart, but there was nothing he could do. Because in this world, even if you ascend to the supreme position, you still cannot control people's hearts.

"Put this on."

Xiao Lingchuan took out a purse-shaped thing from his bosom, and when he opened it, it was a hollow bracelet.

"There is an organ on the bracelet, and there are short needles the size of a fingernail inside, which are poisoned."

There are only short needles inside, and there are more than a hundred of them, which are used to save lives at critical moments.

At a critical juncture like today, at least there is no need to take the risk of launching a hidden weapon.

"Where did it come from?"

Li Haitang felt like she had found a treasure, this thing was much more useful than her Mongolian sweat medicine.

"Ji Qiuna."

Xiao Lingchuan asked Ji Qiu for a drink, and when he saw the bracelet, he snatched it immediately. If there is something good, he wants to give it to his wife. The bracelet is not for nothing, he promised Ji Qiu to help find the whereabouts of Lan Yi.
