Chapter 44 The gangster follows In the summer solstice, the weather is getting hotter and woman on the street is pretty, but the powder on her face is flowing down with sweat. From a distance, it looks like white rice juice flowing out.
Feng Xiaoer went to the market early in the morning, planning to buy some nourishing medicinal materials for Bai Ying.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to buy a precious medicine for a long time. I went to several pharmacies and they all said they didn't have it.
It's possible to make a reservation, but you have to wait ten days and a half to get in.
Feng Xiaoer couldn't wait. Since there was no one in the south of the city, he went to the east, north and west of the city to have a look.
She had never taken a carriage out of the Xiao Mansion. As for the horses, she did not dare to use the Xiao Mansion's horses casually.
If he kept walking with his legs, he might not be able to get back to Xiao Mansion until nightfall.
As a last resort, she went to the stable and rented a horse.
Xiaoyao was behind her and said with an embarrassed look: "Madam, do you really don't need Xiaoyao to accompany you? Why don't we rent a carriage? I'm really worried about you being alone."
Feng Xiaoer shook his head: "I ride a horse by myself, and the speed is very fast. Just wait for me here."
Xiaoyao pouted worriedly as he watched Madam soon, her mouth opened wide and her eyes became like stars: "Wow, madam, she is so beautiful, she looks like a heroine!"
Feng Xiaoer wore an elegant brocade satin dress, with colorful sleeves that were like a flying ribbon, fluttering in the wind.
She hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and the inner thighs were aching. However, she tried her best to feel the warmth of the horse and the strength of the bones, and rode with the horse on its back.
When we left the market, the horses were running like the looked into the distance, as if the entire road was slowly extending under her feet.
Huangtian paid off, and at , I bought the medicinal materials I wanted in a very secret but high-profile pharmacy in the north of the city.
It is indeed the closest market to the Emperor's feet. There are indeed more and better things here than on Zhuque Street.
Feng Xiaoer wanted to go back quickly, but when she walked out of the pharmacy, she suddenly found that the horse she rented was missing.
This beast should have been well trained so that he wouldn't suddenly go crazy and break free from the reins and run away.
She whistled several times, but no horse came as soon as I glanced at it, I saw a few horse tails hanging down on the ground.
Could it be that he was taken away by the butcher? The north of the city is closest to the imperial city, and the patrols and security here are the strictest. How could the butcher take the horse away without anyone noticing?
The deposit for this tall horse is quite Xiaoer didn't want to waste his money in vain, so he followed the traces of the left pony tail and chased it. After turning a few streets, he suddenly heard the sound of horses.
"What a beast, you actually came here by yourself. Do you know how much money I spent to get you to ride out? If you don't come back with me, my deposit will be gone!"
The horse seemed to be very restless, panting heavily in its nostrils and neighing Xiaoer wanted to step forward and touch its neck to comfort it, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
The horse's body smelled like animal fur, but Feng Xiaoer didn't smell it at all.
It's not that this horse doesn't have a peculiar smell, but it means that there is another fragrance around it that completely overwhelms the peculiar smell.
Qiong took a breath and smelled it carefully. The fragrance was indeed unique and not very as long as you listen carefully and smell carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish.
Something was indeed wrong, and she was about to turn around and he found that the road behind him was blocked by two big men.
After observing the surroundings, I realized that this was clearly a dead end, and no one lived here.
Oh, she was being plotted against. Not many people in the world dare to plot against the governor's wife.
He quickly locked onto a few characters in his mind, and then calmly looked at the two tiger-backed villains opposite.
The two people were dressed in disguise, and their mouths and noses were covered with black cloth. Maybe they didn't want Feng Xiaoer to see their faces clearly, or maybe they wanted to block out the fragrance.
Feng Xiaoer couldn't help but laugh at herself. This fragrance was all too familiar. The fragrance she used at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet was similar to the fragrance today.
She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, regretting that her veil had long since been blown away by the wind because she had been riding too fast.
"My lords, who sent you? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
She always wears a veil when she goes out. The fact that these people can accurately track her until now means that they have been following her a long time ago, at least since last night.
The man chuckled, and Feng Xiaoer obviously saw it, and he wanted to grab the knife on his back.
But today he was in disguise, so he didn't touch the knife, and the empty hand fell behind his back move is enough to show that they are not ordinary thieves.
"Miss Feng, don't you know who you have offended? You always have to pay back when you go out to fool around. You have been in the limelight enough. However, as a human being, you can't be too arrogant. Today, the brothers will greet each other properly. Greeting you!"
Feng Xiaoer raised his eyebrows.
Do you always have to pay back when you go out for fun?You can't be too arrogant? I haven't offended anyone recently. The only ones I want to offend are Feng Yun'er and Madam Feng Mansion.
Could it be that they were so angry that they hired a few thugs to teach them a lesson? "What does it have to do with you whether I am arrogant or not? Do you know what will happen if you mess with me?"
The man looked disdainfully. Even though he was wearing a veil, his eyebrows clearly read "murderer and silencer"! "Don't tell us anything about the governor and his wife. We ordinary people don't understand those official and family affairs. What we are going to do today is rape first and then kill. Do you understand?"
