Today, Han Yuxi was instructed by Han Lizheng to fill a gourd with the first batch of fruit wine brewed by the Han Village and send it to Chang 'an for the young master and young lady to taste. It was not easy to have a chance to enter the city, so naturally, Iron Egg went with them. He even put a big grasshopper he caught recently into a bamboo tube and planned to give it to his sister Lan 'er.
Ever since Li Zexuan left the Han Village, the scene of them escaping from the tiger's mouth in the mountains kept flashing in Han Yuxi's mind. She could not forget it.
Thinking that she would be able to see the young master today, Han Yuxi got up early in the morning to dress up. She put on a relatively new pink dress and took out a silver hairpin from an exquisite wooden box at the head of the bed She pinned it on her beautiful hair. This silver hairpin was left to her by her mother.
Han Yuxi, who was already fresh and refined, became even more beautiful. She was like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She was so radiant that she attracted the attention of passers-by along the way. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was still relatively clean. Generally, no one dared to kidnap women in public.
The siblings entered the city from the Yanxing Gate in the east of Chang 'an.
Looking at the neat streets and magnificent buildings, Iron Egg did not know where to put his eyes. He looked around randomly, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.
They did not know that from the moment they entered the city, a pair of eyes had been watching them. To be more precise, they were watching Han Yuxi.
A man with a face full of pockmarks and dressed like a scholar carefully followed behind Han Yuxi with two servants. The scholar with a face full of pockmarks stared at Han Yuxi's figure from behind and drooled as he looked at her.
"Young master, if the old master knows about this when we go back, he will break our legs."
The short servant next to him saw his young master's lustful face and knew that his young master did not have good intentions towards the girl. He could not help but persuade him with a bitter face.
The pockmarked young master was lustful at this time. How could he listen to him? He said impatiently,
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see that these two came from a village outside the city? Later, when we enter the alley in front, the two of you go up and knock them out. Carry the older one to my house outside the city, and throw the younger one to a random place outside the city to bury them. No one will know, hehe. "
After he finished speaking, he licked his lips and sneered wickedly, "Tsk tsk, this little lady is really charming. She's even prettier than the courtesans of the Emerald Smoke House. This young master has traversed the fields of flowers for so many years, but I've never seen such a stunning beauty."
When the two servants saw their young master like this, they guessed that they wouldn't be able to persuade him otherwise. Their faces were bitter. In the past, the Young Master had done this kind of thing many times. However, after being discovered by the Old Master, the ones who were punished were always the servants. This time, they could only pray that things would go smoothly and not be discovered by others.
When Han Yuxi and Iron Egg walked into the alley between Xuan Ping Square and Sheng Ping Square, they felt that there were a few people following behind them.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look. Han Yuxi saw a wretched man with a face full of pockmarks staring at her lecherously. She immediately felt angry and flustered.
However, when she looked up and saw that there were no pedestrians around. This alley was remote and narrow. Han Yuxi was very anxious at this moment.
"Little lady, how about coming home with me? How about I take you in as my eighth concubine?"
The pockmarked man chuckled and said. As he spoke, he wanted to go forward and touch her. As for the little brat beside him, he didn't care about him from the beginning.
"Get lost, don't touch my sister!"
Iron Egg picked up a stone in the corner and stood in front of Han Yuxi. He raised the stone in his hand to deter the three people in front of him. At the same time, he whispered to Han Yuxi behind him, "sister, take the opportunity to find the young master later. They can't catch up with me."
Han Yuxi quickly shook her head. "How can I do that? If they catch you, they will beat you."
Iron Egg said anxiously, "sister, what time is it now? If I am caught, I will at most be beaten up. Iron Egg has thick skin and is not afraid of being beaten. But if you are caught, sister, it will be different …"
Children from poor families took charge of the family early. Although Iron Egg was young, he still knew a little about the dirty dealings of these rich young masters. He understood that if his sister fell into the hands of this scum, she would definitely suffer a fate worse than death. He might as well go up and be beaten up. Anyway, he had thick skin.
Han Yuxi's face turned pale when she heard this. After struggling for a while, she said, "Iron Egg, you must be careful. Sister will go and find the young master for help."
"Hmph, want to leave? None of you can leave. "The pockmarked man snorted coldly. Two servants blocked their way, one in front and one behind.
At this time, Iron Egg suddenly exploded. He threw the stone in his hand at the servant blocking the way in front and shouted, "sister, quickly leave from here. I will stop them!"
Although Iron Egg was young, he usually did a lot of farm work and was not weak at all. His stone hit the servant's forehead directly and smashed him to the ground.
The pockmarked man was shocked. He didn't think that this little brat, whom he had always looked down upon, would have such great strength and speed. Seeing that one of his lackeys had fallen, he hurriedly joined forces with another tall servant to close in on this side.
At this time, Iron Egg quickly picked up a wooden stick next to him and stopped the two people who wanted to chase after Han Yuxi.
Han Yuxi shed tears and cried, "Iron Egg, sister will go and find the young master to save you."
After saying that, she immediately turned and ran out of the alley. She knew that she could not help here. She could only hope that Iron Egg could hold on until she found the young master to save him.
…
Li Zexuan brought Lan 'er, Li Chengqian, and Steward Wang to the East Market. The East Market was very close to the Li family, so they did not choose to take a carriage and walked directly.
They talked and laughed along the way. When they walked to Yong Ning Lane, they heard Lan 'er cry out in surprise, "brother, brother, look, isn't that sister Yuxi?"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked in the direction Lan 'er was pointing. He saw a beautiful girl in a pink dress with a fairy-like face, but she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She was wiping her tears as she ran. This girl was Han Yuxi.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan hurriedly exerted his strength and ran in front of Han Yuxi. Han Yuxi was thinking about her brother's safety and only knew to run forward without caring about anything else. She did not notice him at all and bumped into his arms. She immediately woke up with an "ah".
Looking up and seeing that it was Li Zexuan, Han Yuxi was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly pulled his arm and cried, "young master, quickly go and save Iron Egg. A few scoundrels are beating him up in front."
Li Zexuan's heart ached when he saw Han Yuxi crying. When he heard her words, he instantly guessed the situation in his mind. He could not help but be furious. He did not have time to ask her why she entered the city today and directly said, "Yuxi, you lead the way. Quickly bring me there."
He then shouted at the three people who were following behind, "Yuxi and I will go and save Iron Egg first. Lan 'er, Gao Ming, you guys follow later."
After saying that, he directly took Han Yuxi and used the Cloud Piercing Steps. He ran in the direction Han Yuxi pointed.
He did not deliberately take advantage of Han Yuxi. The situation was urgent and did not allow him to hesitate.
