Chapter 711 Qin Jun's Help and Ran Qingxuan's Self-rescue
When Xiang Cheng's rough palm was about to grab her upper arm, she suddenly leaned back to protect her stomach, and her right hand finally got out of the noose.
The scalpel was extremely sharp. Ran Qingxuan grabbed the tail end of the scalpel and stabbed towards Xiang Cheng's neck without hesitation.
"court death!"
Xiang Cheng's reaction was terrifyingly fast. Just as the scalpel was about to touch his neck, his right hand, like an iron clamp, instantly grabbed Ran Qingxuan's wrist.
The other gauntleted fist suddenly tightened and smashed towards her face with a sound of wind.
"Bang!"
A sharp pain exploded from the bridge of his nose. Ran Qingxuan held his stomach and felt a burst of blood in front of his eyes.
The warm liquid flowed along her philtrum into the corners of her mouth. The salty and fishy smell filled her mouth, and the strong smell of blood made her vomit.
The punch knocked her backwards against the shaft of the cart, and the back of her head hit the iron-clad wooden frame hard.
When he reacted quickly and opened his eyes, he saw the glaring red color of his nose blood spurting out on the bluestone slabs.
The other Black Feather Guards reacted quickly and surrounded him, and the tip of the knife in Xiang Cheng's hand was against Ran Qingxuan's stomach again.
"I've heard that Madam Gu has the ability to disappear out of thin air. It's really hard to guard against..." Xiang Cheng grabbed her messy hair and pulled her face into the moonlight.
The leader of the Black Feather Guard had a scar on his left eye, and when he smiled he looked like a lame jackal.
"It's just that... His Highness specifically instructed that if you dare to have such thoughts, you will be punished..."
Ran Qingxuan's pupils constricted. The other party not only knew her space, but also accurately grasped her greatest weakness!
Xiang Cheng's bloody palm was already pressed on her bulging belly. Even through her clothes, she could feel the increasing force coming from his palm.
"This is just a warning. If Madam Gu dares to move again..."
Xiang Cheng leaned close to her bloody face, and his voice was as gentle as a lover's whisper: "I will let Gu Yanchen's seed turn into a pool of blood."
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help shaking all over, not knowing whether he was angry or afraid. He leaned against the shaft of the cart without saying a word.
Another drop of blood slid down her twisted nose and hit the back of Xiang Cheng's hand with a "pa".
Xiang Cheng looked at the blood on the back of his hand with disgust, his eyes gleaming coldly.
"take away!"
Xiang Cheng pushed Ran Qingxuan away in annoyance, as if he was throwing away a piece of unwanted rag.
When two Black Feather Guards lifted up Ran Qingxuan, she deliberately staggered, and then the blood in her nose began to drip and explode like petals.
When he was brought into the county magistrate's mansion and passed through a dark corridor, Ran Qingxuan quickly pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper palate to stop the bleeding.
Xiang Cheng walked in front, his armor making regular clicking sounds.
She quietly looked around and found that these people did not want to imprison her here, but wanted to transfer her through a hidden cellar.
The damp air was filled with the smell of herbs, and the torches on the wall illuminated several large boxes covered with black cloth.
"Don't bother remembering the way." Xiang Cheng suddenly turned around, and his scar looked like an ugly centipede in the firelight.
"Why don't I just tell you out of kindness that you will be taken to Huluguan this time...
After all, you and Gu Yanchen will definitely be reunited there in the end..."
He lifted the black cloth of the nearest box, revealing the cold and gleaming torture instruments inside.
"Of course, if General Gu disobeys the order..."
Ran Qingxuan suddenly laughed, blood foam splashed on Xiang Cheng's face: "Your Highness... ahem... is this all you can do?
Using a pregnant woman as a threat..."
Xiang Cheng grabbed her neck angrily, but let go at the last moment.
He wiped the blood off his hand and smiled at her sinisterly: "Mrs. Gu is smart, but she just wants to provoke me to kill you now..."
With a cold snort, Xiang Cheng turned to look at his men and said, "Give her the medicine to keep the baby safe. If the child dies, our General Gu will have nothing to worry about."
As the bitter medicine was forced down his throat, Ran Qingxuan struggled to smear the medicine on the car board that had been broken off long ago...
"Yan Chen... the child and I will be fine..."
The iron door of the cellar slammed shut, and Ran Qingxuan, who had been drugged, was transferred away again.
As the carriage swayed away from the county magistrate's mansion, Ran Qingxuan was pressed into the corner of the carriage by the Black Feather Guards.
The cold dagger was always pressed against her bulging belly. The blade trembled slightly with the bumps and made tiny tears in her clothes.
"Everyone, be alert!" Xiang Cheng's voice came from the shaft of the carriage, "This woman is more cunning than a fox..."
Before he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Ran Qingxuan's forehead hit the car wall, and a familiar and somewhat flattering voice came to his ears.
"Thank you for your hard work, my lord. I am the county magistrate and I am here to deliver the customs clearance document to you..."
Ran Qingxuan's pupils shrank slightly. The voice was Qin Jun!
She remembered that when the family was taken to Yongfeng Village, only Qin Jun was the most alert and did not make things difficult for them like the other officials did.
And most importantly, because of Xiao Wende's incident, Qin Jun obviously wanted to make friends with their family...
Just as he was thinking about this, angry shouts were heard outside the carriage.
"Get lost! When did the Black Feather Guards need a county document to do anything?"
The Black Feather Guard driving the car whipped Qin Jun, who immediately let out a cry of "ouch".
But despite this, Qin Jun still smiled and said: "General, calm down! It was really Lord Tang's order..."
Ran Qingxuan took the opportunity to curl up his body, and with his hands tied behind his back he quietly touched the wooden board soaked in medicine.
The wooden board was sent into the space, and she immediately wrote the three words "Huluguan" on it, while the dried template exuded a faint medicinal smell.
She thought about it, and the wooden board instantly disappeared in her palm.
"It's the dead of night, would you like some hot wine, sir?" Qin Jun was still circling outside the car, his voice coming closer and farther.
And she moved slightly, and the wooden board suddenly and precisely appeared on the bracket on the inside of the wheel.
Ran Qingxuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The Black Feather Guard's dagger had pierced through his innermost layer of clothes.
"You'd better not move, otherwise..." the Black Feather Guard beside him warned sinisterly.
"I know you can telekinetically retrieve objects, so don't even think about making any noise..."
Cold sweat slid down Ran Qingxuan's back. She pretended to nod weakly, but in fact she was paying attention to the movements outside.
The moment the wheel turned again, a "clang" sound was heard from the wheel position.
The subtle sound of the wooden board falling to the ground was drowned out by Qin Jun's suddenly raised voice: "Sir! Your saddle is loose, do you want me to help you..."
The Black Feather Guard who was driving the car jumped out cursing and whipped Qin Jun who was behind the car.
Through the gap in the rear door of the car, Ran Qingxuan saw Qin Jun kneeling on the ground, having been whipped several times, but his body had concealed the wooden board in the shadow without leaving any trace.
The moonlight shone on his lowered profile, and a hint of determination clearly flashed across his face.
"Get out of here, you ungrateful person!" Xiang Cheng shouted impatiently.
Qin Jun smiled and said, "Yes, I will leave right away..."
