Tibet

Chapter 432

The wedding date was finally set, on August [-]th, this auspicious day, the two families coincidentally decided on it at the same time, there are still two months to go, and the two families are busy preparing.

When Dugu Xinyue heard that the wedding date had been set, she knew that Li Ye must have news.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, which did not prevent young men and women who were engaged to meet, but according to the custom, after the wedding date was set, the two parties could not meet each other again.

Although Dugu Xinyue knew this rule, she still couldn't help but wrote a note and sent her personal maid Aqiu to Li's house to hand it to Pei Sanniang.

An hour later, Ah Qiu came back and handed Dugu Xinyue a note. Xinyue opened the note, and there were only two words on it, "Come quickly!"

Since it's my future mother-in-law calling, it's not considered breaking the rules.

"Aqiu, go and tell the butler that I'm going out and ask him to arrange a carriage for me!"

The maid ran away, and Dugu Xinyue sat in front of the mirror, dressing up a little bit, Pei Sanniang didn't like women who were dressed up enchantingly, so she also did what she liked, tried not to wear makeup, combed her hair neatly, and changed into a crimson pleated skirt , Wear a jacket.

At this time, the maid ran back with a dejected face and said, "The butler said, the master has orders not to let the girl go out!"

Dugu Xinyue was suddenly unhappy and said, "Did you tell him that my future mother-in-law called me over?"

"I did not say!"

"Then go and tell him, I'm in a hurry to go out."

The maid Aqiu ran away again, and came back after a while and said, "The butler agreed, let the girl go and come back early!"

"Where's the carriage?"

"It's arranged, it's at the gate!"

Dugu Xinyue carried a handbag and went out in a carriage.

But what Dugu Xinyue didn't expect was that as soon as her carriage left the gate of the house, several riders followed her carriage silently.

"Aqiu, go to the back window and see if the housekeeper has sent someone to follow us?"

Ah Qiu hurriedly went to the back row to check. After a while, she said nervously: "Girl, there are really a few people riding behind us on horseback!"

"Is it a samurai from our house?"

"The clothes are not, some of them wear green clothes, some of them wear black clothes!"

The warriors in the Dugu Mansion are all in red and black samurai uniforms, which are highly recognizable. Suzaku felt something was wrong. She immediately pulled out a sword and a pair of bows and arrows from the hidden compartment in the front seat, which are hidden in the carriages of many dignitaries. weapon.

"Aqiu, get out of the way."

Dugu Xinyue looked closely at the rear window. There were four riders, two on the left and two on each side. They all kept a very even speed. They were obviously following the carriage. They all stared at the carriage viciously. They were definitely not from the Dugu Mansion.

Could it be that Pei Sanniang sent her to protect herself?It's also unlikely, Li's mansion doesn't have warriors, even if they find someone to protect them, they will tell themselves in advance.

Dugu Xinyue vaguely guessed that in all likelihood, it was An Qingxu who sent him, and he still refused to let her go.

"Aqiu, lie on the ground!"

Aqiu was so frightened that she lay on the carpet with her head in her arms. Dugu Xinyue kicked off the rear window, knelt down on one knee, drew out an arrow, drew the bow like a full moon, aimed at the horse of the man in Tsing Yi on the left and shot it.

The arrow was like lightning, and it hit the horse of the man in Tsing Yi on the left. Dugu Xinyue naturally wouldn't kill people in the street, and she never killed anyone before. She shot the other party's horse and gave them a warning.

The war horse was shot in the chest by an arrow and fell to the ground with a neighing sound. The other three people reined in one after another and dismounted to help.

The driver also felt something was wrong, so he immediately accelerated his speed and turned a corner. Dugu Xinyue shouted: "Stop!"

The carriage stopped slowly, and Dugu Xinyue said to Xiaoqiu: "Go to Li's Mansion and tell Madam, if you encounter a situation on the way, I will check it out and come over right away!"

Aqiu nodded in fright, Dugu Xinyue opened the car door, jumped out, and the carriage continued on its way to Xuanpingfang.

Dugu Xinyue was not so reckless, she jumped up, climbed a big tree, jumped into the Yongle Square with ease, and ran along the wall of the square, after a while, she ran to the place where the man in Tsing Yi fell, and then climbed up a big tree Tree, standing on the big tree and looking out to the street.

I saw a few hard laborers lifting their horses and preparing to lift them onto a flatbed cart, but the knights following him had disappeared.

Dugu Xinyue jumped out, and landed lightly like a flying swallow. The people watching the excitement around were startled and stepped aside one after another.

Dugu Xinyue stepped forward with her sword in hand and asked, "Where is the owner of this horse?"

The leading slave pointed to the distance and said, "They are going over there, give us some money, and let us dispose of this dead horse."

"Where are you going to send them?"

"Send it outside the city and bury it!"

The eyes of the head of the convicts flickered, they were actually going to be sold at the butcher shop.

Dugu Xinyue walked around the horse, the pouch and saddle were gone, and there was no sign, she suddenly thought of something, raised a horseshoe, and saw the horseshoe below, the very edge of the horseshoe was clearly engraved With a word 'Swallow'.

This is the proof, the horses are the war horses of Fan Yang's army. She heard from her father that there are marks on the horseshoes of the war horses of each Jiedu Prefecture. ', the Hedong Army is 'Bing', and the Fan Yang Army is 'Yan'.

She took out a small gold bar from her carry bag, "I'll give you a tael of gold and drag this horse to the Dugu Mansion!"

Pei Sanniang is still waiting for Dugu Xinyue to come and chat with her!After waiting for a while, I saw the maid Aqiu rushing over.

"Ma'am, something happened!"

Pei Sanniang was startled, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Ah Qiu then told about being followed on the road, Pei Sanniang was in a hurry, went back to the house and took out her sword and ran out. Although Xinyue knew martial arts, but the opponents were four men, in case they were all people with high martial arts skills , what should I do if I take her away?
Just as Pei Sanniang ran to the door, she saw Dugu Xinyue walking back.

She hurriedly took Dugu Xinyue's hand and asked, "Xinyue, are you alright?"

"Auntie, I'm fine! Those guys ran away."

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come here." Pei Sanniang blamed herself.

Dugu Xinyue patted Pei Sanniang's hand to comfort her: "It has nothing to do with auntie, who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Ordinary visits will be followed by people, it's simply too scary."

"Who is such a bastard, he is so audacious!"

"There is a mark on the horse, it should be from An Lushan."

Pei Sanniang immediately realized, "Could it be An Qingxu, he still doesn't give up?"

"It should be him. My father will look for them. Auntie, is there any news about Ah Ye?"

Pei Sanniang took her hand and said, "Let's go into the house and tell him that he wrote a letter, which was sent from Ganzhou, by the end of this month."

Knowing that his daughter was being followed by An Qingxu's men, Dugu Lie's face was very gloomy. There was a dead horse on the ground in the vestibule, and a craftsman from the Military Supervision was carefully identifying the horseshoes. Lie said: "I'm sure it's real, not fake!"

Dugulie gritted his teeth and said, "It's just too deceiving!"

Of course he would not blame his daughter for running away. It is necessary and important for her daughter to be invited by her future mother-in-law to drink tea and chat. It is conducive to cultivating the relationship between her daughter and her future mother-in-law. Take it easy.

The key is this An Qingxu, who has a despicable character and a dirty mind. If he can't get something, he wants to take it or destroy it. He wants to destroy his daughter.

Dugu immediately ordered: "Prepare an ox cart, take this horse corpse with us, let's go to Anfu, let Anfu give me an explanation!"
