Chapter 8
Wang Er trembled his hands, not daring to slow down the carriage. Thinking of the tragedy of Liu Da being trampled to death by a horse just now after he fell, he couldn't help but feel terrified. His hand was flawless in white.

In the carriage, Mrs. Liu has been in a state of bewilderment since Li Ruan slipped in with one hand. She never imagined that the young lady who looked soft and weak in front of her would have such great strength, but she was more grateful in her heart. If she Still outside the edge of the car, she was either overturned by the car and trampled to death by a horse, or shot to death by the bandit's arrow. She dragged her daughter to kneel and kowtow.

"Thank you benefactor for another life-saving grace!"

"Get up, it's easy to do." Li Ru'an waved his hand, picked up the medical book again and read it.

"I've said it all, our lady is a kind-hearted person." Zi Yan stretched out her hand to pull the two of them together.

"Squeeze first." Seeing that Mrs. Liu thanked and thanked her, Xuegu hugged Alan and sat down. The small carriage was even more crowded. She pulled the quilt to cover Li Ruan's legs, and shouted to the front, "Wang Er , how long will it take to get to the resting place?"

"It's almost half an hour's journey." Wang Er heaved a sigh of relief, looked around for a while and replied, this section of the hillside road is not long, but it has been notorious in recent years because a group of bandits gathered on the nearby mountain, and the government suppressed them. A period of time will not help, so when the general caravan bodyguards pass by, they will go together, and the larger the team will be safe.

After experiencing the thrilling scene just now, the few people were silent and the atmosphere was dignified with lingering fears. Seeing the crowded carriage, Li Ruan took up half the space of the carriage with himself and the charcoal basin on the tea table in front of him. Thinking about the half way back, it's time to change to a bigger carriage.

At the place where the bandit died in the back, Xiao Huan used the tip of his sword to pry open the chest and skirt of a bandit, and saw a few inconspicuous black spots on the skin. When he cut the skin and observed carefully, he found needles that were as thin as hair and turned black all over the body. , the symptoms of several other people were basically the same, he couldn't help frowning, his expression trembled slightly.

The soldiers behind him were also surprised. Except for a civilian man who was trampled to death by a horse after being hit by an arrow, seven bandits and seven horses were scattered on the ground. There was no trace of blood on their bodies, but their deaths were extremely strange.

"General, these people's eyes are wide open, their mouths are wide open, their tongues protrude, their limbs are stiff and curled, but apart from a few red marks on their necks, there are no fatal injuries. They really died strangely, as if they were poisoned, but what? Can the poison knock down seven big men in an instant? Even the horses are not spared?" Yi Xing looked at several corpses with a surprised expression, could it be that the little girl has a poison master by her side?
Xiao Huan knew that the woman could protect herself, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful and ruthless. If he hadn't seen her use a long needle, he wouldn't have deliberately observed the almost invisible black spot on the chest of the corpse.

"Let's go." Xiao Huan turned on his horse and walked away. The horses' hooves of the group rang and the dust and smoke filled the air. Several hidden guards appeared and quickly cleared the road. The corpse wilderness, the cycle of karma, and the retribution is not good.

In less than half an hour, some scattered villages appeared along the road, and there were more pedestrians. Wang Eran heaved a sigh of relief, slowed down his speed a little, and arrived at a market in a short while.

"To change to a bigger carriage, it doesn't need to be gorgeous, just a durable one, and remember to keep the bedding cabinets and charcoal basins on the carriage."

In front of the gate of the inn, Xue Gu handed Wang Er a silver ingot and instructed.

Facing the window on the second floor, Li Ru'an glanced at Wang Er who had pulled up his horse and walked away. After finishing Liu Da, there was only this left. The journey back to Beijing would take ten or eight days. You can't let a woman and child drive a horse against the wind in front.

Before Xuegu went upstairs, Liu followed Xuegu's way and waited for Li Ru'an to clean her hands, admiring the pair of onion-cutting jade hands against the elegant embroidered handkerchief, which made her skin look better than snow, and looked at the girl's tranquility , the elegant posture is like a fairy walking out of the painting, Liu marveled in her heart, this charming girl has both talents and skills, extraordinary skills, and I heard Xuegu said that she can make medicine, she is really perfect, like that The Bodhisattva has come to this world.

And this scene also fell into the eyes of the three men in the opposite seat. After staring in a daze, their eyes met, and their lustful light flowed.

After dinner and a cup of tea, Wang Er came back with a carriage, his steps were heavy, and he looked complicatedly at the second floor from time to time.

The carriage is half-new and not old, it looks very grand, the space in the carriage is more than half larger, several people got on the carriage, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, Xuegu put the snacks and dry food she bought just now into the dark cabinet, and added more to the small charcoal stove Two pieces of fine carbon were placed in a bronze pot with a round belly and sharp mouth, and after a while, hot mist rolled out.

Li Ru'an stared thoughtfully at Wang Er who was putting away the footstool, it seemed that after Liu Da's death, he had noticed something, the strange thing was that he had noticed but didn't run away just now.

When the carriage set off, Li Ru'an glanced at the tail not far behind the carriage, and stretched his legs leisurely. This opportunity will come soon. The night will be long and dreamy, and the battle will be resolved quickly. At worst, we will find another coachman.

After walking for another half an hour, I entered a rather narrow path, with dense forests on both sides, sparsely populated, and there was no car in front or behind. The three horses following from a distance were getting closer, and even the voices of the three were faint It reached Li Ru'an's ears.

"Brother, you are not kind, how can those two little girls compare with that beauty? Don't eat alone!"

"What are you talking about, are you afraid that you won't have your share? Haha, I'm really lucky to go out today. I have kidnapped and sold many girls from good families, but compared with this beauty, they are all vulgar fans! Okay, let's get rid of those girls first." The two little girls are sold, beauties, we’ll sell them after we’ve had enough fun, but I want the first one, haha!”

"Okay! You are the big brother, you go first, hehe!"

Li Ru'an picked out her ears. She had heard these foul language a lot when she was doing missions in modern times. At first she still cared about it, but the master said, this is not a weapon. The harmless appearance will greatly reduce the vigilance of the enemy. So she got used to it, but usually when she met this kind of person, she would make the other person's death not so straightforward.

"It's a remote place, so it's a good opportunity to strike, brothers, come on!"

"Huh! What are you doing!" Wang Er saw the three people who suddenly stopped in front of the horse, grabbed the reins and shouted loudly.

The leading man drew out his knife with a swipe, pointed at Wang Er, "If you want to live, go away!" He could see clearly on the road, just a few girls and a bad driver, there is no threat, and there is no need to kill.

"Come out obediently, I won't kill anyone! Hey, my brothers will treat you well."

"Yes! Beauties, don't be afraid, brother will take you to eat and drink spicy food! Haha!"

Li Ru'an rubbed his forehead, he still thinks highly of these guys, if he doesn't do it directly, he will talk nonsense.

"Don't come out!" Wang Er pulled out the sword he just bought from under the girder of the car, jumped off the car and waved it to confront the three of them.

"If you seek your own death, then I will fulfill you!"

The weapons clashed and clanged outside, and Li Ru'an calmly knocked on the window sill to see how long Wang Er's superficial kung fu could last.

"Miss, you can't go out, I, I will fight with them! Aunt Ziyan Liu, after I go down later, you all climb to the front, just ride your horse forward, don't stop, you must protect the lady, you know?" Xue Gu suppressed her panic, took out a dagger from under the quilt and clenched it in her hand, she was about to step out after speaking in a trembling whisper.

"Nurse, did you forget my medicine powder? It's enough to deal with these people." Li Ru'an stopped her, raised the box in her hand, and smiled.

With the sound of a sword falling to the ground and Wang Er's muffled groan, Li Ru'an got up and tidied up his dress.

"If you don't come out again, I will go in and arrest people! Haha!"

"Boss, don't scare the beauty. What if she doesn't get along with you later? Haha!"

"Miss!" The outsiders became more and more arrogant, and their mouths were dirty. Xuegu and the others were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they hugged Li Ru'an and did not let go.

"You are lawless! This is the official way, and there are officials on patrol! Don't come out!" Wang Er screamed loudly, clutching his wound on his chest, struggling to pick up his sword.

"Mind your own business! I'm impatient to waste time here, come on, brothers!" The man kicked over, brushed the blood off the knife, and was about to open the car door.

"No hurries."

The car door was pushed open from the inside, and a gust of fragrant wind rushed towards the face, only to see a woman with a slightly bent and slender waist stepping out, her face was more than snow, her hair was like a cloud, her peach blossom eyes were slightly rippling like a lake, under the willow eyebrows of distant mountains, Gao Tingqiong's red lips fluttered under her nose, her figure was slim and charming.

Too lazy to talk nonsense, Li Ru'an waved his bare hands at the three people who were staring blankly. A few wisps of dust lingered in the air, and he turned his gaze directly to Wang Er on the ground. Tsk, there are two wounds on his right chest and right arm. make.

"Since you already knew that I would kill you, why didn't you run when you changed the carriage? And you had a chance to run just now." Li Ru'an played with the long needle on his fingertips and asked the doubts in his heart.

Wang Er looked suspiciously at the three men who fell to the ground in an instant, and without caring about other things, he struggled to get up and knelt down, and kowtowed heavily.

"Miss, please spare the slave's life. The slave was forced to come here. The slave just entered the mansion not long ago, and it was just for the convenience of taking care of my mother and sister. But the madam knew that the slave was good at punching and kicking, so she used them to threaten and force the slave. Come here, in fact, what Madam wants is not only the life of the eldest lady, but also the mouths of everyone here, so she found the slave, who only signed the contract of living, and she wanted the slave to confess all the crimes after returning , Picked her clean before letting my mother and sister go!"

"It's useless to talk too much. You bought your sword and hid it. Do you think I'll let you go?" Li Ru'an looked up at the sky, and his patience gradually faded.

"No no! The slave bought the sword because of the gang of robbers in the morning. He was afraid that the road ahead would be dangerous. He definitely didn't want to deal with the eldest lady! Wang Er swears that he will never hurt the eldest lady!" Wang Er raised his head fiercely and stared wide. He closed his eyes and spoke in a hurry.

"You bastard!" Xue Gu couldn't help but rushed out of the carriage. She was startled by the three people who fell to the ground. You don't know what it is? Going back is a serious crime of beheading! Do you still want to protect your loved ones with your life? Delusion!"

"That's why I won't and dare not hurt the eldest lady. I still have to save my life to go back to save them. Madam, she chopped off my mother's finger and brought it to me. If I don't agree to drag it out for a day, I will add one more. My sister, she is dumb and can't speak, Madam wants to point her out to the 50-year-old Qian Guanshi as a concubine, she is only 16 years old!"

Wang Er clutched the wound on his chest, gritted his teeth and cried bitterly as he spoke.

"Mute? Is your sister Cuiyun from Fourth Young Lady's courtyard? Your mother is Yang's mother from the big kitchen?" Xuegu asked with her eyes wide open in surprise.

Wang Er raised his head fiercely, his dark face was full of tears, he nodded again and again, "Yes! It's the slave's mother and younger sister!"

Xuegu hesitated for a moment, and she could see that the young lady had murderous intentions. Although she was frightened, she also felt distressed. If it hadn't been for those experiences, why would the gentle young lady have changed so much? She looked at Li Ru'an calmly. Looking at Bo's face, he sighed and said, "Miss, Mama Yang is kind to our wife."
