Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 139

It takes about an hour and a half to travel from Kyoto to the Qin family ancestral tombs, and the route is not entirely along the official road.

As they approached the mountain hollow where the Qin family ancestral tombs were located, the group passed through a very dense forest. The towering trees were dense and blocked out the sun.

Upon arriving here, Shen Lingjun had a strange, uneasy feeling. Perhaps it was because the surroundings were too dark and quiet, but it felt somewhat eerie.

The carriage carrying the twins caught up from behind.

Wang Jin lifted the car curtain and said to Shen Lingjun, "Mrs. Shen, I have a bad feeling. Let's be on high alert and get out of here as quickly as possible."

Even a master like Wang Jin sensed it, and Shen Lingjun became increasingly nervous: "Alright, driver, hurry up..."

Before she could finish her sentence, six or seven masked men wielding knives jumped out from the woods on both sides of the path!

The masked men swarmed towards Shen Lingjun's carriage as soon as they arrived.

Wang Jin's expression suddenly hardened. He leaped out of the carriage, drew his sword, and slashed at the masked men!

Her martial arts skills were very high, far superior to her opponents. In just a few moves, she had already cut down four or five of the burly men.

However, at that moment, Shen Lingjun saw four more men silently emerge from the woods and surround the carriage where Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi were sitting!

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

Shen Lingjun exclaimed in surprise: "Wang Jin! Yao'er and Xi'er!"

Wang Jin suddenly turned around and rushed towards the carriage, but he was too late. The four burly men had already dragged Qin Jianxi and Qin Chuyao out of the carriage!

The two children were only four years old. No matter how smart they were, their age and physique meant they had no ability to resist a group of adult men.

Today was a day for tomb sweeping, so Qin Jianxi didn't bring her two red dragon snakes, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, with her.

Wang Jin wanted to give chase, but two burly men were climbing onto Shen Lingjun's carriage. The coachman tried to resist, but they slashed him off the carriage, leaving blood everywhere.

Shen Lingjun shouted with all her might, "Don't worry about me! Go and get the child back!"

But Wang Jin couldn't really leave her there to face the two bandits. He turned back first, killed the two big men, and then chased after Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi in the direction they had been kidnapped.

This delay made it too late; the group had already vanished without a trace. Wang Jin chased them for two or three miles, initially able to determine their whereabouts based on footprints and other clues in the jungle, but after crossing a river, the tracks disappeared, and he completely lost them.

Wang Jin was worried about Shen Lingjun and Dou Niang, two frail women, in the woods, so he had to return first.

Shen Lingjun's face turned deathly pale: "Didn't catch up?"

Wang Jin lowered his head and said, "It's my fault... I'll escort Madam Shen to a safe place first, and then I'll go rescue the young master and young lady!"

The Grand Eunuch sent her to the Yongning Marquis's residence, supposedly to protect Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi, but Madam Shen was actually also within that scope, though the Grand Eunuch didn't mention it to her.

The bandits kidnapped the twins, but their purpose was clearly not to kill them immediately; a little time wouldn't make a difference.

Shen Lingjun was too preoccupied with her own affairs to think about how she and Dou Niang could drive back to the city themselves and let Wang Jin go ahead to rescue people. Just then, Qin Shaoze and Liu Manman's carriage turned around and came back not far ahead.
