Chapter 174 Arriving in Lin'an
Su Junning didn't care about wiping the unknown liquid on her face, and quickly squatted down.

This is to guard against those water bandits who are chasing after her, jumping over the wall and shooting arrows at her.

At the same time, she also observed that a small boat was thrown from the official ship, and several officers and soldiers were rowing towards her direction, but the official ship did not stop, and continued to sail in the direction of the Su family's big ship. , It should be preparing to go there to suppress bandits.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the water bandits who came after them didn't want to fight, so they turned around and evacuated.

When the boat that came to pick him up approached, the young man who was the head of the boat was very surprised when he saw Su Junning.

"Miss Four?!"

"You know me?" Su Junning swallowed nervously, and sat up straight while leaning on the side of the boat.

Zheng Han hurriedly introduced himself.

"Miss Si, don't be afraid. You don't know me, but I do know you. Master Shen is our leader. I have met you."

When she heard that she was Shen Qianwei's subordinate, Su Junning finally let go of her heart.

It's easy to ask her how to tell the difference.

Because Shen He is called General Shen in the court, Shen Qianwei basically calls him Lord Shen, and even more politely calls him Little General Shen.

Su Junning breathed a sigh of relief before asking in a low voice.

"Then, is Mr. Shen also on your boat?"

"Not here." Zheng Han shook his head, "We went to Mingzhou to hunt down fugitives this time, and one of the principal criminals ran away with a team, presumably in the area of ​​Lin'an. Let's escort the other fugitives back to Beijing first. People went to Lin'an to continue the hunt."

Upon hearing this, Su Junning's expression changed.

"So Lin'an is not safe anymore?"

"It's not unsafe. The group of people instigated the remnants of the bandits, and they can't make any waves. The boss must be able to catch them in a few days." Zheng Han said.

Su Junning breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"That's right, he's very capable. Speaking of which, I'm going to Lin'an this time to attend the wedding banquet of relatives and friends. I never expected to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, you came to the rescue. Thank you very much. Well, I will repay you in the future!"

Zheng Han hurriedly smiled and waved his hands while helping her up.

"Miss Si, please be polite, this is our duty."

Because the boat where Su Junning was sitting was stained with blood, it was not good to let their mother and daughter continue to sit, so Zheng Han ordered someone to move the fainted Cui to his boat, and then helped Su Junning come over, and a group of people went to the Su family. The big ship goes.

This official ship was originally going to hunt down fugitives, and it was equipped with a full range of troops, horses and weapons, so the group of water bandits was quickly caught.

It's a pity that Zhao Sanping, the leader, ran away, but he also captured and wiped out many people.

Seeing the mess on the boat, Su Junning felt flustered and weak.

But this was not the time to be afraid, so he quickly followed Zheng Han on board, and went to find Luo's mother and Nan Xu and the others.

Fortunately, because the gifts were placed in the bilge, the water bandits were not in a hurry to attack the second floor after boarding the boat. Mother Luo took the maids to collect materials locally, took the self-defense guy, and closed the door. Blocked the stairs and hid in the room on the second floor, nothing happened.

It's just that most of the guards on the first floor, as well as the boatman, were killed or injured, and a small part of the things in the bilge should have been taken away.

Su Junning looked at the corpse lying on the deck, dripping with blood, and almost retched for a while.

Zheng Han immediately called his subordinates to help clean up.

Su Junning, who was at the side for a while, came up to talk to him at this moment.

"Master Zheng, may I ask if there is a wharf near here that can be docked? My mother fainted and I don't know how she is. Besides, I want to ask someone to clean up the corpses of these servants, transport them back to Bianjing, and return them to them." family."

They were all sacrificed to protect them, Su Junning couldn't bear to let these people expose their corpses to the wilderness.

Those who fell into the canal could not be retrieved, but the corpses were still there, and she still wanted to put them in a good place, and a generous pension would be considered her apology.

After all, no one expected to meet water bandits on the way to Lin'an.

Zheng Han thought for a while, then said, "Not long ahead, it's the wharf of Linhe County. You should be able to find people there. Let me take a few people to go with Fourth Miss. It's safer that way."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zheng." Su Junning bowed slightly.

Zheng Han hurriedly avoided her ceremony, saying it was all right, and went out to make arrangements.

About half an hour later, the Su family's boat docked at the wharf in Linhe County.

Even in the middle of the night, I couldn't find anyone to help.

Su Junning said that she can wait here until dawn, and Zheng Han has official business, so he can't delay any longer, so he doesn't need to stay here anymore.

Zheng Han thought for a while, left a dozen officers and soldiers guarding him, and left first.

Of course, I didn't forget to send someone to Lin'an to send a letter to Shen Qianwei about what happened tonight.

Su Junning's side was really frightened by the water bandits, as were the maids on the boat.

So even though someone was guarding her, Su Junning didn't fall asleep all night. Fortunately, Cui Shi woke up when it was dawn, and she got some comfort in her heart.

After dawn, while ordering people to find the doctor, he went to invite a new boatman and someone who could collect the corpse.

He stayed in Linhe County until noon, and after lunch, he went on the road again.

Although in danger, Lin'an had to go.

It's just that during the next two days' journey, the spirit on the boat was tense, and Su Junning's heart was not completely relieved until she arrived in Lin'an and saw her uncle's family who came to pick her up.

"Sister-in-law, Ning'er." Su Hua personally brought someone to pick her up, and immediately came forward to take care of her, "I heard that there was a water bandit on the road, are you all right?"

When such a big event happened, it was natural to spread the news.

Cui supported Su Junning's hand and shook her head.

"Don't worry, we happened to meet an official ship, we were saved, and we were not injured, but it scared you."

"It's a small matter to scare us, but the safety of my sister-in-law and Ning'er is the big one." Aunt Liu also came forward at this moment, her face full of concern. Let a doctor come and take a good look."

With that said, the whole family surrounded Cui Shi and Su Junning, mother and daughter, and boarded the carriage.

Cui and Liu share a car, Su Hua and his son Su Yuren share a car, and Su Junning and her cousin Su Wanyin share a car.

The two sisters really have a good relationship, and they held hands as soon as they got in the car.

"Ning'er, you don't know how worried I am. I heard someone report that you have encountered water bandits. I almost died of fright. I immediately went to the small Buddhist hall to kowtow to the Bodhisattva. I thank the Bodhisattva for your protection. Fortunately, you are fine." Su Wanyin's eyes are full of concern.

Su Junning patted her hand and comforted her softly.

"Fortunately, I was lucky to meet the official ship that escorted the prisoner back to Beijing overnight. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster. You don't know, there was still blood sprayed on my face that day, really."

Su Junning didn't know how to describe that feeling, so she could only pursed her lips with an indescribable expression.

Su Wanyin felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard it, and hurriedly swayed her body.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, it's scary, I still have something to ask you, is sister Zhiyi really married to King Jin? And you, are you really engaged?"
