Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 50 Self-help
Madam Zheng had never seen Xie Zhijun change his face.

She is always calm, dignified and self-possessed, even the smile on her face is just right, as if nothing in the world can make her mood fluctuate.

But at this moment, she saw that Xie Zhiyun's face was obviously darkened.

"Young Madam, why..."

But before Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, she heard the chaos outside the carriage, and she roared: "There are wild wolves, protect the food."

Xie Zhiyun's complexion became more and more ugly.

As soon as she opened the curtain of the car, she looked outside, and saw that the food transport team not far away encountered a pack of wolves coming from nowhere.

From the south of Yezhou City to Yongfeng County is an endless plain, most of the villages are scattered on both sides of the main official road, and there are farmlands rising and falling between the villages.

In the distance, there are the rolling hills of Nanlu Mountain.

Under such terrain, there had never been a large-scale wolf pack in Yezhou.

Wolves generally don't gather in densely populated places. Even in the low mountains of Nanlu Mountain, no one has ever seen a wolf pack. How could this pack of wolves suddenly appear?

However, even though the soldiers were well-trained, the horses pulling the carriage panicked at the wolves. When the first carriage began to lose control, all the other horses could no longer hold on and struggled and neighed.

When the horses barked, the wolves became restless.

But the leader wolf is hidden in the wolf pack, and the wolf pack will not dare to move unless it gives an order.

At this time, the grain team was in front, and Wang Dusi and Liu Zhaohui were guarding the grain team. This batch of grain was not too much, only five thousand catties, and it was only half an hour's journey from Yongfeng warehouse to Yezhou city. , so no matter how cautious the guards are, they can only send about a hundred troops at most.

Although there are only 100 people, they are all elite soldiers. Facing dozens of wild wolves staring at them at this moment, although the soldiers are very nervous, they are not afraid.

No matter how powerful the wolves are, they cannot compare to the long knives and long swords in their hands.

The glance just now was just a short breath, Xie Zhijun was about to speak when he heard Liu Zhaohui in front of him order: "The wolves are attacking, protect the food!"

At some point, the alpha wolf gave an order to the wolves.

Ferocious wolves rushed from all directions, all heading towards the rear of the food team.

This location is too close to Xie Zhiyun's carriage.

Liu Zhaohui slashed at a wild wolf and was sprayed all over his face with wolf blood. He turned his head and said sharply, "Protect Young Madam, evacuate to Yongfeng warehouse."

More than a dozen soldiers turned around directly, and the driver who controlled the carriage also turned around quickly, wanting to pull the carriage to Yongfeng warehouse to avoid danger.

It was the first time for Xie Zhiyun to face such a dangerous situation. She was a little overwhelmed for a while and couldn't react at all. By the time she came to her senses, it was too late.

At this moment, the government soldiers were turning around and heading back, and the dozen or so soldiers successfully broke through and followed the carriage that had already turned around.

The carriage has completely separated from the main force.

The crisis happened in an instant.

There was only a muffled sound in the sky, and a cluster of cold arrows flew in the air, directly shooting and killing the soldier closest to the carriage.

Xie Zhijun heard a muffled groan, and immediately after that, he heard the loud noise of a soldier falling to the ground.

Xie Zhiyun's heart beat wildly.

In the carriage, Zhao Yu and Mrs. Zheng were so frightened that they were trembling all over and couldn't speak a word.

Xie Zhijun tried her best to catch her breath and calm herself down. She held the edge of the couch tightly with one hand so that she would not fall with the bumping carriage, and opened the corner of the curtain with the other hand to look outside.

With this glance, Xie Zhiyun fell into the ice cellar.

At some point, the carriage had already reached a pile of rocks.

This place is just an inconspicuous scenery above the official road. Occasionally, people passing by would rest their feet here and shade from the sun. Because of the chaotic rocks, it is difficult to remove, so they have been standing here quietly.

But at this moment, the rocks became an excellent hiding spot.

Xie Zhiyun suddenly understood why those people didn't move the granary. They didn't act immediately after she went to the granary to exchange the dropped grain, but waited until today.

There are hundreds of officers and soldiers stationed in the granary, no matter what they do, there will be loopholes, and it will definitely not succeed. The only chance is the road from Yongfeng warehouse to Yezhou City.

And if they want to replace the food, or take the opportunity to destroy the evidence, the best way is to directly set fire to the food, or take her away.

Xie Zhiyun closed his eyes.

It seems that the other party is reluctant to part with the food, and it is better to rob her a weak woman who has no strength to restrain the chicken.

There are only more than 30 guards around her, and they can easily rob her without even killing them all.

Xie Zhijun clearly felt that the carriage was driving in another direction. The speed of the carriage was very fast, and it easily bypassed all the roadblocks placed on the road, all the way to the depths of the rocks.

Feng Fang led all the soldiers to chase desperately, but it was hard to guard against cold arrows, and the spurs under the horse's hoof also made it difficult for the horse to move. For a while, they could only stay where they were, watching the carriage disappear into the rocks all the way.

Feng Fang's face was pale, but he recovered quickly, and said sharply: "If you catch the killer, you must keep him alive."

If the carriage couldn't catch up, they went to catch the killer who shot cold arrows. They could always leave clues.

At this time, Xie Zhijun didn't know what to do next, the carriage went all the way, stumbled and galloped towards Nanlu Mountain.

Xie Zhijun reached out to push the car door and found that the door was locked from the outside and could not be opened at all.

The cabin of the carriage was so small that the three of them couldn't even stand up. After all the tossing, everyone showed panic and didn't have time to react.

It was only Xie Zhijun who reacted quickly and boldly, and quickly recovered from the panic. At this moment, she has begun to regain her composure.

The carriage was still driving, and it was unknown where it was going.

Xie Zhiyun stopped pushing the door, she lifted the curtain and looked outside.

At some point, they had already driven into a dense forest, surrounded by new trees that had just emerged from the cold winter. There were many types of trees in the dense forest, and there were no less than a dozen species at a glance.

Mrs. Zheng finally recovered from her panic. She asked Xie Zhiyun in a trembling voice, "Young Madam, where is the carriage going?"

Xie Zhiyun didn't speak, she just glanced at the car door, and then at Mrs. Zheng.

Madam Zheng's complexion was pale, it was early spring, but her temples were covered with cold sweat.

Her lips were pale and she was trembling so hard that Xie Zhiyun could even hear her teeth chattering.

"The coachman," Madam Zheng said in a very dry voice, "the coachman is an old man in the house."

Xie Zhiyun closed his eyes.

Old people are not necessarily loyal, and old people will also deceive and betray. Once their own interests are involved, they will choose themselves mercilessly, just like...

Xie Zhiyun thought of this, but her mind went blank. She only felt a tingling pain in her head. Something prevented her from recalling the past hidden deep in her memory.

"They probably won't kill us."

Xie Zhiyun heard himself speak.
