Chapter 436: Capture the thief first and capture the king first
The man hesitated, and finally took the initiative to say: "In fact, this silver was originally given by them to thank us. Think about it, they originally thought that giving us the silver was a reward, but if we return the silver like this, what will they think? Will they think that we think this little silver is not enough? Do you want more?"
Qiu Niang frowned slightly and shook her head: "How could that be? We are paying them back the money!"
The man then said, "Actually, after all, I just don't want to return the money!"
Qiu Niang disagreed: "Master, how can you do this!"
"Why can't I do this? We took them in for one night, but if it weren't for us, they and their family would have probably frozen to death outside that night! And, Qiu Niang, do you know that I can't earn this much money even if I risk my life all year round?"
Qiu Niang pursed her lips: "But this is too much, we can't be without conscience!"
"How much is conscience worth? I only know that with this money, I don't have to risk my life to make money. Haven't you always wanted to buy a small shop in the north to do some small business? With this money, we can buy the shop you like. In the future, we can have our own business and no longer have to depend on others to do things..."
To be honest, these words made Qiu Niang hesitate.
"But if I take so much money from others for nothing, I will feel really bad about it!"
"That's no big deal. We can just consider it as a loan! When we start our own business in the future, we can pay it back..."
The couple stood at the door for a long time, hesitating, and finally Qiu Niang was persuaded by the man and followed him back.
A Qiang frowned slightly and muttered in his heart, these two people are not buying anything, why are they standing at the door for so long!
After a few more days, Xie Jiaojiao's leg injury finally healed a little. She still walked with a limp, but at least the wound had started to scar. Cuizhu also returned from the clinic, and Lai Fu took care of her every day.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan looked at each other and knew that there must be something going on between them.
I thought that when the time comes, I will go back and get things done for them.
Xiaoxiao found another wet nurse. At first, she said she refused to drink milk, but after being hungry for two meals in a row, she started to drink milk. Once the milk came in, her face became fat again in a few days.
At the beginning, the group was worried that Nalande's men would catch up with them, but after they rested for several days at Du Liunian's place and saw no one coming to Mohe to inquire about them, they immediately felt relieved.
However, there has been no news about Jiang Ruonan, Li Yan'er, Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng, which makes them a little anxious.
I hope in my heart that nothing will happen to them!
On the other side, Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er jumped on the same horse and ran towards the snowy road, but Nalande's men were still chasing them from behind.
Finally, they were cornered. There was no road ahead, only steep slopes on all sides.
Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er got off their horses.
"Cousin, are you afraid?" This was one of the rare times that Jiang Ruonan called her cousin seriously.
Li Yan'er shook her head and said firmly: "I'm not afraid, but if you can't hold on later, you can kill me quickly. I would rather die in your hands than in theirs!"
Jiang Ruonan was slightly stunned. In his mind, Li Yan'er was always weak and fragile. She would make a fuss and cry when she was bitten by a mosquito at home.
"Did you hear that?"
Jiang Ruonan didn't answer her.
Second Uncle has only one daughter, but his parents have three children. Tian and Di are taken care of by his cousin and others, so they will be fine. He will not let Li Yan'er get hurt, and Li Yan'er cannot get hurt either!
"You'll run down the mountain later!"
Li Yan'er looked at him, frowned slightly, and disagreed: "I want to go with you."
Jiang Ruonan shook his head: "We can't escape together. You run down the mountain and I'll hold them. As long as we can survive, we'll survive!"
Li Yan'er refused with a firm look and held his hand: "No, we either die together or live together!"
Jiang Ruonan listened to her words, looked at her determined eyes, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go together!"
"What are you mumbling about? I'm telling you, none of you will survive today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruonan turned around and pulled Li Yan'er towards the steep slope at the foot of the mountain.
"Fuck, chase!"
Li Yan'er fell down, and Jiang Ruonan pulled her up. The two did not dare to look back and could only run forward.
The people behind are chasing relentlessly.
This hill is steep.
The people behind saw that they couldn't catch up and it was difficult to chase them, so they just threw the knives in their hands at them.
But fortunately, the two of them dodged and the knife fell in front of them.
Jiang Ruonan happened to have no weapon in his hand, so he picked it up and pulled Li Yan'er to continue running.
And Nalande on the mountain was waiting with an anxious look on his face.
The guards beside him didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that he would vent his anger on them.
It was unknown when Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng hid in the woods. When they saw that everyone was chasing Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er, they rushed over directly, took out the guards around Nalande in two moves, and put the knife on Nalande's neck.
Nalande then became frightened and his face was filled with horror.
"How dare you! I am Nalande! My aunt is the queen, and my cousin is the future emperor!"
Xu Shan stared at him coldly: "Do you think we are afraid of you?"
Nalande's legs trembled slightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Whatever you want, just tell me, I can give it to you!"
"We want your life!" Xu Shan said in his ear.
Then he slashed his throat with a knife.
Seeing him fall down, Zuo Cheng chopped off his head with a knife and held it in his hand.
"Let's go after the Master and the Miss!"
It wasn't that they didn't take action just now, but that they were outnumbered and knew that to catch a thief, they had to catch the leader first!
Only by completely dealing with Nalande can we truly solve the problem of pursuers!
At the foot of the mountain, Li Yan'er lost her balance and rolled down the mountain. Jiang Ruonan reached out to pull her, but she rolled down the mountain with him instead.
He held Li Yan'er in his arms and did not stop until their bodies hit a big rock.
Jiang Ruonan groaned in pain and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Yan'er was dizzy from the fall, but when she saw him vomiting blood, she panicked: "Ruonan, are you okay?"
Jiang Ruonan waved her hands, only to feel a piercing pain on her back!
He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Let's go!"
This tumble put a long distance between the two and the pursuers...
Jiang Ruonan stood up, pulled Li Yan'er and was about to run again. Only then did Li Yan'er notice that a branch had been stuck in his back at some point!
"Ruonan, your back?"
Jiang Ruonan turned around and tried to smile at her: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely take you out alive..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down.
This was a slope again, and he rolled down twice.
"Ruonan!" Li Yan'er shouted worriedly.
