Chasing brother for thousands of miles
Chapter 21 Confrontation
-----
The place chosen by the kidnappers is remote, but today it seems that many people passed by this path. Cui Youde passed a farmer carrying firewood and a hunter carrying a leather bag, and couldn't help but look back suspiciously.
Who knows if the thief is one of them?Especially that Orion, with his face full of flesh, is not a good match at first glance.
He felt uneasy, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace. After walking for a while, he heard the sound of horseshoes and rolling wheels behind him.
Knowing that there was a carriage passing by, Cui Youde avoided the side and continued walking, waved his sleeves casually to disperse the dust raised by the galloping horses and wheels.
The carriage slowed down as it passed him, and the coachman held the rein, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and greeted him.
"Uncle Cui."
Cui Youde turned his head to look, relaxed his body slightly, and asked casually, "Is it Lao Geng, are there any guests in the car or are you coming back after sending them off?"
The driver was an acquaintance, the handlebar style of the Chen Ji carriage shop under the name of the Chen family. He was a bit old and his driving skills were well-known, but he was too honest and not very clever.
"I just came back from seeing you off, and the car is empty. Uncle Cui, come up and sit?" The coachman moved his body to one side, patted the curtain, nodded and bowed with a smile on his face.
"That's okay, the car is quite expensive." Cui Youde didn't hesitate much, and asked someone to help him into the car.
Although he is still a servant in the end, he can be regarded as a master in the courtyard as the chief housekeeper of the Chen residence. He usually does not do this kind of hard work, and when he comes in and out, he is always ready with servants, children, carriages and horses.
I was already tired from doing this today, and even scared myself with suspicion, and my legs were a little weak. I always felt that the carriage was safer, and I would not refuse it.
Cui Youde sat in the car, so he was safe. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Old Geng, you just came over from there. Can you tell if there is anyone beside the old locust tree?"
The coachman was stunned for a moment, and then realized where the old pagoda tree was referring to. After thinking about it for a while, he said hesitantly: "It seems that there is no one. Is Uncle Cui looking for someone?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing."
The people in the car didn't know whether they were disappointed or relieved, but their mood was very subtle.He wanted to catch the thief when he came, but he was also afraid that those two gangsters would not do anything, and put the young master in danger instead.
His side was quiet, but the coachman who was driving the horse had a troubled expression on his face, and looked back at the big housekeeper of the Chen family from time to time, hesitating to say something, but he didn't dare to speak.
Who is Cui Youde?Observing words and demeanor is the most basic thing. Seeing him turn around a few times, I wanted to ignore him, but finally said: "What?"
The coachman looked at his face, and finally asked cautiously: "Master Cui, do you have any news, the young master, the news in the city is one sentence, I, uh, I am very worried."
Hearing about his young master, Cui Youde originally looked worried, but after hearing that, his expression eased.
"I forgot, you and the young master are also predestined, the young master often rides in your car. Don't listen to that villain talking nonsense, the young master is lucky, he must be fine - just there is no news for the time being."
"Hey, hey, that's what you said."
Both of them stopped talking, the carriage came all the way to Chen's house, Cui Youde threw a few coins into the driver's hand, got off the carriage and went back to see the master.
Chen Hongwei was persuading his wife who was crying and wiping away tears. He said a lot of good things, and with Chen Yingrui helping him, Mrs. Chen finally felt better.
Seeing Cui Youde coming back, several people rushed to meet him, "How is it?"
"Reporting to Master and Madam, the things have already been put away. The two heroes are waiting there. As long as the thief shows up to take the box, he will definitely be able to catch it back."

Wen Nianyuan raised his head to look at the sky, looked at the still empty locust tree from a distance, and looked back at Qixian who was calm and composed. He always felt that something was not right, so the sound transmission asked in that person's ear: "Are you sure?" Do you think someone will come?"
Qi Xian didn't raise her head, she seemed to be in a daze looking at her hands, when she heard the voice, she chuckled and replied casually: "No."
"En." Wen Nianyuan also felt that the so-called method of leading the snake out of the hole or waiting for the rabbit was a bit too simple, and it really didn't look like Qixian's style.
Now I heard him say with certainty that no one will come, but I feel normal. Anyway, in front of this man, the so-called normal and abnormal standards of the world never apply.
Unable to hear Wen Nianyuan's questioning voice, Qi Xian raised his head and glanced at him, seemingly unintentionally said: "I just want to confirm something."
"En." Wen Nianyuan nodded, stopped talking, and stood quietly aside.
Qi Xian didn't even notice a strange color passing between her brows, and then looked at the people around her, Wen Nianyuan was...a bit abnormal today.
He didn't know if he had become smarter and had figured out his intentions, so he kept silent, or he was tired of saying no more, and what made him even more inexplicable was that there seemed to be a little hesitation in his heart because of this.
Stretching out her hand to brush away a fallen leaf that fell on her shoulder, Qi Xian was about to say something, but she paused, raised her eyes and glanced behind Wen Nianyuan, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that the scenery here is unique. It's just boring to cover up your Excellency. It's better to be alone than to be happy. Come out."
His voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, as if carrying a kind of magical power, tempting people's hearts and minds, condensing into a line and spreading to the southwest.
Following his meaningful invitation, Wen Nianyuan was about to turn around, but Qi Xian slightly raised his hand to stop him, "Don't move."
Turning a blind eye to the slightly doubtful look cast by the other party, he suddenly waved his sleeves and pushed the person aside, a slender black shadow shot diagonally from behind Wen Nianyuan, and swept towards their direction.
Qixian's face remained unchanged, she still smiled and dodged calmly, taking advantage of the opponent's power, she took the black shadow in her hand, and glanced at it, but it was a whip.
A wave of internal force was secretly sent from the tip of the whip, and Qixian tried to snatch the soft and cold weapon like a snake, but encountered resistance.Another weird internal force suddenly surged from the other end of the whip, and he couldn't stand against it.
In mid-air, there was a rustling of clothes, someone leaped out, threw the handle of the whip in one hand, and his whole body was like an arrow flying off the string, under the hood of Qixian, with awe-inspiring killing intent.
When Wen Nianyuan moved his feet, he immediately received a hinted warning glance from Qi Xian, so he had to stop and stand there, watching the confrontation between the two intently.
But Qi Xian suddenly let go, the whip body lost its stalemate strength, roared and bounced towards its master, and was resolved by the trend, the whip shadow sleeves were intertwined, not like a fight, but like a music and dance belonging to a man, light and agile With momentum like a rainbow.
"It's you."
"it's me."
The whip holder is Ning Xiumao.
The four looked at each other, smelling the dangerous aura coming from each other, the fight obviously didn't mean to stop, and it even made people subconsciously excited.
The whip was originally a feminine weapon, but Ning Xiumao used it to open up and close the Yangtze River to the east and the waves to empty the air; in contrast, the empty-handed Qixian seemed to be at a disadvantage, even though he was There are countless whip shadows with ease, but it always makes others feel that there is a lot of danger.
But he is calm and composed, like a prince and grandson on a spring day, enjoying an outing in the green when the countryside is full of greenery.
"I wanted to experience the piano sound of the famous Mr. Qixian, but it seems that I still can't catch your eyes." Ning Xiumao laughed and sighed, but his subordinates became more and more fierce.
Wen Nianyuan suddenly tightened his five fingers, watched the nine-section whip sweeping across the seven-string arm, wondering if it was injured, and immediately glared at Ning Xiumao, wishing he could kick him away.
But... Obviously, Qixian didn't want him to interfere.
When heaven and man were fighting in their minds, there was already a ghost appearing between the two fighting, Qingtong stood in front of Qixian, quietly watching Ning Xiumao without any movement, but forced the other party to whip Withdrawing his momentum, he tilted to one side and slammed the ground violently, kicking up dust all over the ground.
Several people in the dust had different expressions and stopped moving.
Only Wen Nianyuan came to Qixian's side in three steps at a time, took his hand, rolled up his sleeves and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look. Qixian frowned and wanted to take it back, but he firmly refused.
It was probably the first time he persisted like this, Qi Xian could only let him look at it intently, if there was any substance in that gaze fell on the skin of his arm, I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt a little hot.
The two people over there did not have such a charming scene.
"You ruined the son's plan." Qingtong looked at Ning Xiumao and said, his voice was still stagnant and rusty.
Ning Xiumao smiled indifferently, and put the whip back around his waist, "No, he should already know what he wants to know."
Qixian looked at Qingtong, unless he ordered, otherwise Qingtong would never show up, it has been like this for many years.This was the first time that Qingtong appeared in front of people without his order.
What surprised him wasn't Qingtong's unauthorized actions—in fact, he had never treated Qingtong as a servant over the years, let alone restricted his freedom.
It's just that Qingtong himself has lost interest in everything and everyone, and has made himself a prison.
But now... His eyes fell on Ning Xiumao, thoughtful, he knew that this person was not a good stubble, now it seems that he was a little underestimated.
"I don't have any malicious intentions." Ning Xiumao said to Qingtong, then turned to Qixian, his eyes swept over the two people who were like holding hands, and continued calmly: "My purpose is different from that of the others. It's no different, but I'm a little interested in the Chen family's affairs."
"Oh? How do I remember that Your Excellency once sent Qingtong to tell me that the affairs of the Chen family are as far away as possible? Why is it that Your Excellency is not far away?"
Ning Xiumao didn't feel guilty, "It seems that the young master doesn't want to withdraw, so please listen to the next sentence and be careful."
As he spoke, he swaggered to leave, and before he left, he reached out to pat Qingtong on the shoulder, but the other party disappeared in a flash.
He touched his nose helplessly, and when he passed by Qixian, he completely ignored Wen Nianyuan's almost devouring eyes, and whispered in Qixian's ear: "The ghost walk across the river is well known by everyone in the Jianghu, it is the unique lightness kung fu of the Liu family. "
Qi Xian didn't change his face, "The members of the Liu family are all dead."
The place chosen by the kidnappers is remote, but today it seems that many people passed by this path. Cui Youde passed a farmer carrying firewood and a hunter carrying a leather bag, and couldn't help but look back suspiciously.
