Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

When the carriage was about to reach the town, the He Feng brothers found a place where no one could see them and got off first, then followed the carriage not too far away.

As agreed, Liu Ming sent Liu Xu to Xifang City, half a mile away from the City God Temple. He could sense that someone had been secretly watching them since the carriage entered Xifang City, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Xu with concern:

"Miss, be careful, there are people watching in the dark."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ming. Brother He Lei and the others are here." Liu Xu whispered, and then said loudly: "Uncle Ming, just wait here for me, I will be out soon."

After saying that, he jumped off the carriage and walked towards the City God Temple alone. He Lei and He Feng followed closely behind.

When they were at home, the two of them changed into the old clothes they wore when they came to the Liu family. In order to hide more easily, they even tore some of the clothes. Then they disguised themselves and now looked like beggars on the street.

When Liu Xu arrived at the agreed place, as the rumors said, the City God Temple was already very old, with many beggars lying or sitting inside and outside. When these people saw Liu Xu, a well-dressed little girl, coming alone, many of them were eager to make a move, with unknown lights flashing in their eyes.

Just when those people were about to take action, a little beggar ran over and said, "Miss, someone said that if I give this to you, you will give me five cents."

Taking a piece of paper from the little beggar, Liu Xu looked at the child who seemed to be four or five years old. She couldn't help but touch his head and said softly, "Do you see the carriage over there? Tell me what the person who gave you the paper looks like, and I will ask the coachman to give you ten copper coins."

Liu Xu was not stupid. If she gave the little beggar money now, the beggars around would definitely rush over. She said this to warn those who were ready to make a move that she was not alone.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, most of the unknown gazes that had been on her were retracted.

"Miss, it's an uncle who looks a bit fierce. Well, he has a big scar on his face, which is very scary. Hu Zi was afraid that he would beat me, so he ran here to give it to you." The little beggar, that is, Hu Zi, shrank his neck with a look of fear.

"Okay, it's okay! Go find that uncle over there and tell him that Sister Xuer asked him to give you ten copper coins."

Liu Xu touched his little head and spoke gently.

"Okay, Sister Xuer, I'm leaving now." After saying that, she ran off to find Liu Ming.

Liu Xu frowned and opened the note: "The person is in the woods on the right side of the official road three miles outside the city gate. He is alone with the square to exchange, and the driver is left behind."

Sure enough, what Uncle Ming said was right, someone had been watching them. Fortunately, the He Feng brothers were still in the dark.

Liu Xu's heart sank, and he then returned to the carriage and told Liu Ming what had happened.

"Miss, I always feel that something is wrong. Why don't those people just take the prescription and let you go alone? I'm afraid there is something fishy going on!" Liu Ming said anxiously.

Liu Xu knew it, but she still wanted to go, not because of the Liu Dashan couple, but because she wanted to see who was behind the scenes. She always felt that it was not Liu Dongcheng and the Hu family who did it this time, or that they were not the masterminds. Only by following the clues to find the person behind the scenes and getting rid of him, could her family feel at ease.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ming, I will pay attention. Have you forgotten that there are Brother He Lei and the others?" Liu Xu comforted.

"But..." Liu Ming wanted to persuade him but was interrupted by Liu Xu.

"Uncle Ming, wait for me here. If I'm not back in an hour, go to Zuiyunxuan to find Uncle Chang."

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Ming's answer, he turned and walked out of the city gate.

The people in the dark saw it and followed quietly.

He Lei and He Feng looked at each other, pretended to fight for something and pushed it to each other, and then followed one after the other.

Liu Xu had short legs, so it took her a quarter of an hour to walk from the Chenghuang Temple to the agreed place. Looking at the forest mentioned on the note, Liu Xu frowned. There was indeed a forest on the right. There were not many plants in winter, but there were many trees. She couldn't see the situation inside clearly, and she felt a little uneasy.

Then he thought: I'm already here, all I need is the finishing touch, why hesitate? And the He Lei brothers are following in the dark.

So he took a deep breath and walked over.

On the other side, not long after He Lei and his brother left the city, they discovered the man watching from the dark. He Lei wanted to rush up and take the man down, but He Feng stopped him.

"Xiao Lei, something is wrong. That man has a very stable chassis and a murderous aura. He is definitely not an ordinary servant or guard." He Feng said with a frown.

"What should we do, brother? Isn't the lady in danger? Let's catch up quickly. We two brothers are afraid that we can't catch him!" He Lei said and rushed forward. He Feng grabbed his arm,

"Xiao Lei, go back and find Uncle Ming and ask him to go to Zuiyunxuan to find the third master Chang. I'm worried that there might be more than one person on the other side, so I'll follow them first and leave marks for you on the way. Go quickly!" Seeing that Liu Xu had already gone into the woods and the man in the dark had followed, He Feng ignored his brother after he finished speaking and quickly followed.

He Lei puffed out his cheeks and gritted his teeth, then stomped his feet and ran back quickly.

On the other side, Liu Xu entered the forest. The sky in winter was not very bright, and the forest was even darker. Liu Xu walked forward cautiously and soon saw a slightly open place.

There were two people standing there, one of them was very tall, and there seemed to be two sacks looming on the ground. Liu Xu walked forward a few steps, and when he could see the situation in front clearly, he stopped and said loudly: "I brought the recipe, how can I be sure that they are my grandparents!"

"Heh, you're quite cautious, little girl!" The tall man turned around, and Liu Xu realized that he was not only tall, but also had a black eye patch on his left eye. Although she didn't understand what evil spirits were, she could clearly sense that these two were definitely not ordinary servants and guards. Instead, they looked a bit like... the bandits she had seen in movies before...

Thinking of this, Liu Xu's hair stood up on her back. She said calmly, "You asked me to bring the prescription alone, and I brought it. What's wrong for a little girl like me to be cautious? You should at least let me make sure that my grandfather and the others are okay! Otherwise, I will never give you the prescription even if I die."

The tall man raised an eyebrow, then signaled to the other man, and the two of them retreated ten meters, "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise, ha!"

Liu Xu didn't say anything. Seeing the two retreat to the edge of the open space, she walked forward cautiously. When she got to the sacks, she saw that the two people didn't move. She patted the two sacks first. There was a humming sound coming from inside, probably because the mouth was blocked. It can still make sounds, so it should be fine. Liu Xu felt relieved and squatted down to untie the rope on the sacks. But she didn't notice that when she squatted down, another person appeared behind her.

Just as the sack was about to be opened, Liu Xu suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned his head sharply, but before he could see the figure clearly, he was knocked unconscious by the other party.

Until the moment she passed out, Liu Xu felt extremely regretful. Damn it, how could she forget that someone was watching her in the dark.

After the man knocked Liu Xu unconscious, the other two came over. The tall man took Liu Xu and said:

"Scar, I'll take the person away first, and you guys will clean up the mess!" The employer said in a letter that this girl's family has many servants who are good at fighting, so just in case, he took the person away first.

Scar and another man had already opened the sack. If Liu Xu was awake, she would definitely be even angrier, because there was no Liu Dashan or Zhang in the sack, but two short men.

"Yes, Third Master." The scarred man and his men responded. He Feng, who was in the dark, heard the conversation between them and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Sure enough, these people were the nearby bandits. Seeing Liu Xu being carried away by that man, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he was alone now. The third master and the scarred man were very stable, so they must be quite skilled, so he didn't show up rashly.

After that man left, the other four pulled a carriage out of the forest, and then the two men who came out of the sack drove the carriage along the official road in the opposite direction of Liu Xu and the others. The man with the scar and another man began to look around, erasing all traces in the forest, and then followed the direction of the third in command.

He Feng became even more cautious when he saw this. These people didn't seem to be ordinary bandits. They were tough guys, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried. But now he couldn't think too much, so he had to follow them and find their whereabouts first.

He Feng followed carefully all the way, afraid of being exposed, and did not forget to leave marks along the way.

On the other side, He Lei ran back to the City God Temple panting and told Liu Ming what happened. Liu Ming immediately took him to Zuiyunxuan.

When Shopkeeper Chang saw the two men's anxious faces, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly led them to the backyard.

"Brother Liu, what happened?"

"Manager Chang, something happened to the young lady!" Liu Ming said hurriedly. He then told them a series of events that happened after they received the letter, and He Lei added what happened afterwards.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Chang frowned and said angrily, "Why don't you come to Zuiyunxuan and ask first! The young master has arranged people to keep an eye on those two families. If they really did something to the old master and his people, how could we not know!"

Then he immediately arranged for someone to follow He Lei to chase him, and sent someone to the county town to inform Chang Yifei. Fortunately, Chang Yifei was busy with the affairs of Zhenxiu Pavilion recently and did not return to the city.

Liu Ming was kept by him. "Don't spread this matter first, after all, Xu girl is a girl. Go back and stabilize Madam Xu and the others first. The young master should be here soon, and leave the search to us. It's obvious that the other party has been planning for a long time, and there must be a follow-up. Remember, you must stabilize your family. Since the other party wants the prescription, now that Xu girl has been captured, they will definitely find Madam Xu and the others. As long as the prescription is not in hand, Xu girl will be safe."

Liu Ming agreed and immediately drove the carriage back.

After Manager Chang sent Liu Ming away, he sent someone to question the person who was monitoring Bazhenlou and the Hu family. However, he learned from that person that Liu Dashan and his wife had indeed come to the town today and were currently staying at the Chen family. It was said that Manager Chen had asked them to come and apologize for what happened to Chen Shuman before.

Upon hearing this, Manager Chang asked them to keep a close eye on that place, including the Hu family.

After everyone left, he paced around the room anxiously, waiting for Chang Yifei while sorting out the matter from the beginning.
