Chapter 140 Whoever saves me, I will betroth my sister Wen Xingluo to him
Wen Xingluo calmly pulled out the golden butterfly hairpin and held it in her palm.
The bandits had united and were trying to break down the gate with their shoulders.
She didn't know how long those doors and windows could hold out, she only knew that she would never allow herself to be bullied.
The water is her first amulet.
If Yeshui couldn't take care of her during the fight, then this golden hairpin would be her second amulet. She would use this golden hairpin to bravely blind the bandits who attacked her.
She glared coldly at Wen Yueyin, "Your birth date is clear, yet you shamelessly call me sister and demand I give in to you in everything. You've read so many books, yet you don't even know how to write the word 'shame'."
Wen Yueyin's expression suddenly changed.
Xu Miaomiao was furious. "Wen Xingluo, what are you talking about?! Your elder brother told you to take care of your younger sister, and you just ignored it?!"
"And you, Xu Miaomiao," Wen Xingluo tied up her loose black hair with a ribbon, her almond-shaped eyes gleaming coldly, "What do you mean by scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans? Merchants are the lowest class. You look down on your parents who are merchants, but they raised you. Now you're betraying your parents for a man, giving away the property your parents worked so hard for their entire lives. Your parents might as well have given birth to a piece of barbecued pork."
"you--"
Xu Miaomiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Wen Xingluo ignored the two sisters-in-law and went straight up to the pavilion with her skirt rolled up.
After she left, Wen Ruyun slammed the incense table angrily, "She's so rebellious! I think it's those people in the Zhenbei Palace who spoiled her and made her so ignorant! No matter what, I'm going to marry her off tonight and temper her!"
When Wen Ruyun heard the sound of knocking on the door outside the Taoist temple, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He pulled out a folding fan from his sleeve, slowly waved it open, and smiled wickedly, "Why not just give her to those bandits? Firstly, we can ask them to teach her a lesson, and secondly, maybe if they're happy, they'll let us go!"
Wen Xingluo didn't know what Wen Ruyun was planning.
She went up to the pavilion, and the Taoists made more than a dozen Kongming lanterns one after another.
She picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and together with them, wrote a message for help on the lanterns. Then she opened the window on the sixth floor and released the Kongming lanterns one by one.
The mountain breeze blows on my face, and the dim bamboo sea in the distance is surging with mountain waves.
Cuicui said seriously, "The prince will definitely see Miss's Kongming lantern! The prince will definitely come in time to save Miss and everyone else!"
Wen Xingluo looked down at the sea of forests, her slender white fingertips tightly clasping the window frame.
She also believed that he would come.
Just like how he had appeared countless times when her life was on the line...
The Kongming lanterns soared up with the night wind, like stars lighting up the sky, and were particularly eye-catching in the long night.
Ten miles away.
Fushan sent someone to count the number of bandits killed and reported back, "Master, we killed 4,009 bandits today, and 133 of them escaped."
Xie Guanlan stood on his horse with his sword drawn, looking at the sky expressionlessly.
Fushan followed his gaze and frowned. "Kongming lanterns? Judging from their location, they seem to be heading towards Laojun Pavilion. Are those Taoists performing rituals in the middle of the night?"
As the master and servant were talking, a strong wind blew the Kongming lanterns, and one of them floated straight towards them like a lotus in a whirlpool.
Xie Guanlan stretched out his hand, "Bow and arrow."
He picked up the bow and arrow presented by the attendant and aimed the arrow at the Kongming lantern on horseback.
The arrow flew off the bowstring, shooting the Kongming lantern accurately to the ground.
Fushan picked it up and rode his horse back to Xie Guanlan, "Master."
Xie Guanlan took the Kongming lantern.
There are only a few words written on the lamp:
Bandits are causing chaos, Laojun Pavilion is in trouble, need help!
He was extremely familiar with this handwriting!
His face was as cold as frost, and he suddenly threw the Kongming lantern to the ground, "Go to Laojun Pavilion!"
The horse galloped away.
The iron cavalry followed closely behind, crossing mountains and wading through water, and surged towards Qingcheng Mountain in the night.
The lights in Laojun Pavilion are as bright as day.
Wen Ruyun leaned against the door and discussed with the bandits, "I am Wen Ruyun, the second son of the Wen family. Although my sister Wen Xingluo has a bad temper, she is a beautiful lady and a daughter of a royal family. If you let me go, I am willing to give her to you as your wife."
He thought he could control the bandits, but unexpectedly he heard their disdainful sneers from outside.
They shouted, "As long as we break into Laojun Pavilion, all the women inside will be ours. Why should we make a deal with you?!"
Wen Ruyun clenched his folding fan and sneered, "Anyone can say nice things, but if you have the guts, just charge in! These two doors are so heavy, how could you get in without my help?!"
The bandit was furious, "Are you provoking us?!"
Wen Ruyun continued to taunt, "You have no idea what a distinguished person you're besieging tonight. You're truly lucky to be my brother-in-law. You're such a fool with strong limbs and a simple mind, you deserve to be a bandit!"
"Asshole! Who are you calling an idiot?! Come out and say it to our faces if you have the guts!"
"I'm not stupid, why should I go out and tell others? Come in if you dare!"
"Come out!"
"Come in!"
“…”
Wen Ruyun's provocative behavior completely enraged the bandits.
As hundreds of people rushed in and banged on the gate of the Taoist temple, the two heavy doors finally made a strange noise.
Inside the palace, everyone sensed something was amiss and looked towards the door.
Wen Ruyun swallowed and stepped back subconsciously, his palms holding the folding fan covered in cold sweat.
The next moment, the two doors collapsed!
Dust filled the air.
There was a moment of silence, and then the shouts of the bandits resounded throughout Qingcheng Mountain!
Wen Ruyun was stunned.
Finally coming to his senses, he suddenly pushed a tea merchant out and ran upstairs.
He ran and screamed, "Help! Help! Whoever can save me, I will betroth my sister Wen Xingluo to him!"
Wen Yueyin and Xu Miaomiao ran after him, shouting the same words.
Their wide sleeves and long, complicated skirts made no one notice that they accidentally knocked over the candlesticks on the incense table when they ran away.
The candlelight ignited the curtains and quickly spread throughout the Taoist temple.
The top floor of Laojun Pavilion.
Wen Xingluo and others also heard their ghostly roars and screams.
Wen Xingluo pressed his forehead expressionlessly, feeling deeply speechless about this family.
Cuicui leaned over the window, looking down, and said anxiously, "Miss, it was the bandits who pushed down the gate and broke into the Taoist temple! Brother Yishui, we must protect Miss!"
Yeshui stood in front of the top floor, drew out his sword indifferently, and took a posture to defend against the enemy.
When Xie Guanlan rode over, he saw flames and thick smoke in the Taoist temple.
There were faint sounds of ghosts howling and screaming from inside:
"Help! Whoever saves me, I'll betroth my sister Wen Xingluo to him! My sister is so beautiful, whoever marries her will be blessed for eight lifetimes!"
The young generals behind Xie Guanlan also heard it.
Their eyes lit up, and they were immediately as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Without waiting for Xie Guanlan's order, they rushed into the Taoist temple with swords drawn.
"Brother, we are here!"
Xie Guanlan: “…”
Fushan smiled and said, "When we were suppressing the bandits during the day, they weren't so motivated."
