Chapter 222 Great Changes
"Sister-in-law." Sister-in-law's hands were cold.
"Ah Heng, what's the answer? Did Ah Jian give up?"
"The court is investigating spies. This time the incident has caused quite a stir, and many officials have been arrested. Don't worry, sister-in-law, Ajian is fine. If he really is, it wouldn't be as simple as surrounding our house." Shen Heng comforted her, hoping that her guess was correct.
"Yes." Nanny Feng said, "Madam Xia, just do what you should do as usual."
After hearing what Ah Heng and the nanny said, Xia felt relieved a lot, but she was still uneasy because she hadn't seen her brother-in-law.
In the evening, Liu Gang came back with another piece of news.
"I heard that this Lord Lu was betrayed by his students. Boss, could this Lord Lu be Lord Lu Ji'an?" Liu Gang asked.
Before Shen Heng could say anything, Xia Shi denied it: "Impossible. Lord Lu has been so kind to A Jian, how could he possibly betray him? A Jian is not that kind of person."
"Yes, how could Mr. Xie betray Mr. Lu?" Nanny Feng didn't believe it.
Chen Heng also didn't believe it. Since they were husband and wife, they still had to have trust: "Don't believe what outsiders say."
That night, no one had an appetite and only ate a few bites. After waiting in the hall until Xie Jian came back late at night, they all went back to their rooms.
Just as Shen Heng was pacing anxiously, the window and door suddenly opened. She was about to turn around when she felt a numbness on the back of her neck and lost consciousness.
When Chen Heng woke up, she found herself in a carriage, with something stuffed in her mouth and her hands and feet tied. The road was extremely bumpy, and she was going up as if she was in a mountain forest. She tried to get up several times, but the road was so bumpy that she couldn't even stand steadily.
I took the cloth out of my mouth with both hands and began to breathe more easily.
How could someone kidnap her at this time?
Chen Heng couldn't help but think that it must be Xie Jian's enemy, and he was doomed this time.
An unknown amount of time passed before the carriage stopped. When Shen Heng was trembling with fear, the curtain was lifted, and a familiar face, but now with a fierce look, appeared.
"Brother Gu Feng?"
Gu Feng didn't respond. He untied the rope on her legs and pulled her down roughly.
"Brother Gu Feng, what happened?" Shen Heng asked hurriedly.
Gu Feng pulled the rope in her hand and pulled her up the mountain.
"Brother Gu Feng?" Chen Heng's doubts grew, and she became increasingly panicked. Gu Feng had always been loyal to Lu Ji'an. With him like this, could it be that Xie Jian had really betrayed him? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Just as Shen Heng was thinking this, a voice suddenly came: "Lu Ji'an, surrender."
It was the voice of Lord Gong, the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
At the same time, Shen Heng was pushed out fiercely, and when the sword in Gu Feng's hand was against her neck, she also saw the scene in front of her clearly.
They were at the top of an unknown mountain. Lu Ji'an and Yu Wei stood at the edge of the cliff, their clothes fluttering in the breeze. Their faces were filled with grim sternness. Across from them stood a dozen people. Shen Heng's gaze fell on Xie Jian, who stood beside Lord Gong.
"Aheng?" Xie Jian saw his wife suddenly appear here and glared at Gu Feng: "Gu Feng, how dare you kidnap Aheng?"
"Xie Jian, the master has been so kind to you, yet you dared to frame him like this? Are you still human?" Gu Feng brought the sword in his hand close to Shen Heng's neck and said, "Release the master, and I will release Shen Heng."
Chen Heng looked at Xie Jian in disbelief, wanting to ask for clarification, but the sword on her neck was pressed against her.
"Let A'heng go." Xie Jian took the arrows from his men and aimed them at Gu Feng.
