Chapter 11 I can’t ride a horse!

Early the next morning, Chen Wenjie, the Minister of Rites, went up the mountain alone, took the prepared documents and ransom, and came early to redeem the person and Zhao'an.

"This is the ransom, this is the imperial edict document. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, let him go!"

"Zhao'an's notice was distributed directly to various cities and counties, and the soldiers at the foot of the mountain have also retreated, leaving only the craftsmen preparing to build the village. If you don't believe it, you can check it out."

Huya Village is not far from the capital, and can be reached in one day's round trip. The ransom and documents were the result of Chen Wenjie's three hundred miles haste to report to the emperor, and then the result of discussions with the prince Xie Qian.

Since Huya Village has Zhao'an's intention, then just follow them.

Otherwise, the official road in the village is so close, firstly, it will have a bad impact, and secondly, we are afraid that one day they will cooperate with the enemy, and they will just come in and set fire to plunder.

Yan Dongze took the document and signaled with his eyes that Ma Qi immediately sent people to the foot of the mountain to check the situation. If the imperial edict was successful this time, their village would be able to settle down.

After a while, his subordinates whispered a few words in Ma Qi's ear. Ma Qi looked at Yan Dongze and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

"In that case, let him go!"

Yan Dongze waved his hand and Xie Si and Su Chenxu were escorted up.

"Master Chen!"

After Su Chenxu was untied, he nodded lightly to Chen Wenjie. After looking around, he discovered that on such an important occasion today, the puppet master was not there!

"Where's your boss?"

Xie Si also discovered this problem and immediately shouted at Yan Dongze.

The little guy could see that he was not used to being so arrogant about a hostage, so he kicked him away.

"No!"

Yan Dongze stopped him. Now that they were friends, it was no longer appropriate to attack them, otherwise it would appear to be insincere.

"Humph!"

The minion spat and looked at the three people surrounded by them fiercely.

"Our leader suddenly suffered from an old illness yesterday and passed away..."

Yan Dongze said it sadly, but the boss died, and there was no trace of a funeral in this village.

Su Chenxu understood immediately that the woman was probably silenced after she told him what she said last night!
Pity……

"Okay, it's time for you to go down the mountain!"

Yan Dongze saw that some of them had also let go, but they were still lingering here and refused to leave, so he urged them directly.

"No! That woman drugged me. Three days have passed and the antidote hasn't been given to me yet!!!"

Without getting the antidote, Xie Si refused to leave. It was clear that the imperial doctor would be there as soon as he went down the mountain, but Xie Si inexplicably wanted to see this woman again.

She disappeared too suddenly...

"The third prince is talking about heartbroken soul? Three days have passed. Didn't the third prince realize that he is not poisonous at all?"

Yan Dongze also laughed at Xie Si's reaction. This Lu Manman is really good at bluffing people!
Xie Si touched his belly in confusion. It seemed that he really didn't feel any discomfort at all. Instead, he had been on tenterhooks these past few days, had no appetite to eat, and had lost a lot of weight.

"I was actually tricked by a woman!!!"

Xie Si gritted his teeth and wanted to hit someone, but Su Chenxu stopped him.

Su Chenxu shook his head gently at Xie Si. They were still in other people's territory and it was not appropriate to take action. Moreover, the woman was already dead. What she did was out of necessity...

"Third Prince, let's go down the mountain first!"

Su Chenxu pulled the impulsive Xie Si over, glanced at Chen Wenjie, and the three of them turned and left under the watch of the bandits.

"I don't know how our daughter is doing..."

When Ma Qi saw that everyone was gone, he spoke with a lingering look in his eyes. Lu Manman left this morning. Yan Dongze said that she should return to her own place.

Yes, she was a kidnapped woman, and this Huya Village was not the place she should stay.

Fortunately, Lu Manman said that she, Lu Manman, would always regard Ma Qi as her father and would come back to see them in the future. "She! She's so good!"

When Yan Dongze thought of the scene of bidding farewell to Lu Manman this morning, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, he shook his head helplessly, waved his hands, and finally left the lobby.

…………

"Yan Dongze! What are you doing?"

Lu Manman looked warily at Yan Dongze who suddenly called her out of the cottage. It was not yet dawn yet, and Yan Dongze dragged her out.

"In a place called Hehuan Pavilion in the capital, there is 30% of your ransom, a total of 750 taels of gold. This is the voucher. You must keep it."

Yan Dongze pulled Lu Manman who was still awake, took out a gold hairpin from his sleeve, and slowly helped Lu Manman put it on.

Lu Manman looked at this man suspiciously, what was he doing today?

He asked her to get up early again, asked her to change back into her original clothes, and now gave her back the jewelry that had been robbed before.

Although there was only one gold hairpin, Yan Dongze actually brought it for himself!
Is she awake? Is she dreaming?
Why is he so good today?

and many more……

What did she just hear...

"Seven hundred and fifty taels of gold?"

Lu Manman woke up from her drowsiness. Oh my God, she had never dreamed of having so much money! And it’s gold! Gold!

In modern times, she would be a rich young woman!
"Yes! I will give you the 30% ransom you want, but..."

Yan Dongze's eyes narrowed slightly, and Lu Manman immediately realized the danger and quickly stepped back to help Yan Dongze make up for it.

"Don't worry, I know what to do! I took the money and took care of the matter. Remember to give me the antidote!"

but……

But go back and shut your mouth! Investigate what needs to be investigated, do what needs to be done, or wait for death! ! !
Lu Manman knew what Yan Dongze, a sinister man, wanted to say without even thinking about it.

Otherwise, would he be so kind as to give him money?
"As long as you know, someone will give you the antidote after you return to Beijing!"

Yan Dongze saw that Lu Manman was so sensible and didn't talk nonsense to her. He just pulled her with one hand and threw her onto the horse.

He slapped the horse on the butt and started running away without waiting for Lu Manman to sit down.

"Yan! Yan Dongze, I don't know how to ride a horse!!!"

Lu Manman shouted, but Yan Dongze behind him gradually moved away. Lu Manman lay helplessly on the horse and cried bitterly, scolding all eighteen generations of Yan Dongze's ancestors.

This horse seemed to have been trained for a long time. It took Lu Manman all the way down the mountain and straight to the army that was about to leave.

"who?"

The soldiers looked warily at the horses charging towards them, drew their swords, and prepared to fight.

"It seems to be a woman?"

When the horses approached, everyone saw a woman being carried by the horses.

As soon as the horse stopped, Lu Manman was brought down by the force of inertia and fell hard to the ground.

Before Lu Manman could stand up, he started to vomit while holding the horse.

It killed her!

"who are you?"

"I am Lu Manman, the daughter of the current imperial concubine. I am looking for Mr. Chen, the Minister of Etiquette! Chen Wenjie!!!"

After Lu Manman weakly shouted these words, his vision went dark and he fainted.
