Chapter 49 Distress
After coming down from Fengming Spring, Wang Yanqing rode back to the city first.

Chang Luoyun took Biyan and Wu Ma back slowly in the carriage, and they could go for an outing by the way.

Spring is deep and summer is shallow, flowers bloom on Moshang, and even the grass on the roadside is eye-catching green.

Biyan looked at all kinds of unknown wild flowers on the green lawn, and her heart was eager to move. If she could take a handful of them home and put them in a rough pottery bottle in the study, it would have a wild charm.

Just thinking about it, Uncle Uncle had already stopped the carriage, "Girl, there is a tea shed in front, you should stop for a while."

At the end of the empty grassland, there is a row of thatched pergola.Before the Ching Ming Festival, there were not many people leaving the city. From a distance, there were not many people in the arbor.

Chang Luoyun got off the carriage.Since returning to Qingzhou, he hasn't been out of the city yet.In the past, when my grandmother and A Niang were here, they would take their sisters for an outing every March.

A few girls were fighting flowers and plants outside, and went to the tea shed to drink tea when it was hot. It was just an ordinary day at that time, but now it has become a past that cannot be returned.

As soon as Bi Yan stepped on the soft grass, she couldn't help but ran to the depths of the meadow, "Girl, I'm going to pick some flowers and put them back in a bottle."

Chang Luoyun greeted Wu Ma with a smile, "Let's go to the tea shed to drink tea, and she will come back sweating profusely and ask for tea."

Chang Luoyun and Wu Ma arrived at the tea shed, Uncle Fu drove the carriage to a shaded place and waited.

Besides the mother-in-law who sells tea, there are two young people in the tea shed.

Chang Luoyun found a quieter place and just sat down when the tea seller made a pot of tea and brought some peanuts and melon seeds over.

"Girl, there are cold noodles and other food here, see if you want some."

Chang Luoyun ordered a cold stew and a pot of tea to send to Uncle Fu, and then he and Wu Ma slowly drank tea and ate melon seeds.

Although it is spring, the weather at noon is still hot after all, the pergola is well ventilated, and the gentle breeze blowing by makes the Lingtai clear and bright, which is very pleasant.

After sitting for a while, two men came outside, maybe it was too hot to leave, the leader rolled up his sleeves all the way to his arms, and the other had more or less white eyes.

They sat near the door and said harshly, "Shopkeeper, serve a pot of tea and two catties of cold brine."

The two lowered their heads, but their eyes swept randomly.

Chang Luoyun suddenly had a bad premonition, she pretended to drink the tea unintentionally, stood up, and said softly, "Mother Wu, go and ask Bi Yan to come back, let's go."

Wu Ma understood, and immediately got up and went out as if nothing had happened. Chang Luoyun put on the veiled hat and left the tea shed.

The sun was dazzling outside, and as soon as Chang Luoyun arrived in the carriage, Wu Ma and Bi Yan walked over.

Bi Yan was holding a large bouquet of wild flowers, her bangs were soaked in sweat and stuck to her forehead, she wiped the sweat with the back of her hand, and whispered: "Girl, do you want me to go to the tea shed to stabilize them first?"

"No," Chang Luoyun said, "I just think they have a problem, but it's also possible that I'm worrying too much."

The three got into the carriage, and Uncle Fu drove the carriage to the city.After walking for a while, sure enough, someone on a horse chased him up.

Chang Luoyun opened the curtain and saw that it was the two people who were in the tea shed just now.

When they were about to catch up with the carriage, the two of them slowed down obviously, and followed behind the carriage on horseback without any haste.

There is a fork ahead, one leads to Qingzhou, and the other leads to Cangzhou.

There was no one on the road, and the two men on horseback began to outflank and block the carriage.

Chang Luoyun winked at Biyan, pulled out a silver hairpin from his head, and held it tightly in his hand.

This silver hairpin is smaller and sharper than ordinary hairpins.

Bi Yan rolled up the curtain, poked her head out and said, "We are just ordinary people, what do you mean by stopping our carriage?"

The two glanced at each other, without saying a word, they rushed up on horseback holding long sticks.

"Forbe, drive."

As soon as Chang Luoyun finished speaking, Uncle Fu swung his leather whip and lashed at the horse vigorously.The horse was in pain, and it raised its hooves and ran.

At the same time, Chang Luoyun's expression darkened, and he raised his right hand, and the silver hairpin in his hand flew towards the man in front with the sound of the wind.

Those two people probably didn't expect that a carload of women and children would actually use hidden weapons to hurt people. They were completely unprepared, and the silver hairpin sank into the shoulder of the person in front with the sound of the wind, and the person in front fell off the horse clutching his shoulder.

Another man on horseback was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward with a stick, and knocked Fu Bo off the carriage with one stick.

Sure enough, it was a robber.Fu Bo was probably seriously injured, and he didn't get up for a long time.The man who was knocked off the horse by Chang Luoyun with a hairpin before sat on the ground with his hands covering his shoulders, and he didn't get on his horse for a long time.

Chang Luoyun aimed at his horse, shortly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the window of the carriage, grabbed the reins, and got on the horse.

The horse was frightened, raised its front body, raised its hooves and neighed, then took Chang Luoyun and Juechen away.

The robber probably didn't expect Chang Luoyun to have such agility.The two looked at each other, and the robber who was not injured rode after him.

The two galloped one after the other.

Chang Luoyun thought it over, this place is not far from the gate of Qingzhou City, as long as he runs to the gate, the guards guarding the city will definitely not sit idly by.

Maybe the robbers didn't dare to chase after the city gate, so she could escape smoothly.

If you can bring people to rescue Bi Yan and the others at this time, maybe there is still time.

The horse behind was getting closer and closer, Chang Luoyun hooked the stirrup with his feet, half-rolled his body and stretched out his hands to throw it back.The robbers had seen how powerful Chang Luoyun was, so naturally they didn't dare to be careless. They reined in the reins and ducked, and Chang Luoyun pulled a long distance away from him.

After continuing to run for a while, Chang Luoyun could faintly see the city gate.She mustered all her strength and galloped towards the gate of the city.

But he didn't expect that there were two people walking towards him on horseback, and by the time Chang Luoyun found out, it was too late.

Although she tightened the reins, she could only watch helplessly as the horse under her bumped into it head-on.

Chang Luoyun closed his eyes, but the imaginary scene did not appear.In a blink of an eye, she had fallen into a warm embrace, and a pair of powerful arms held her, spun around in the air, and landed firmly on the horse's back.

However, her horse staggered and fell to the ground, her eyes half-closed and panting heavily.

She raised her eyes slowly, and saw a slender neck in a black collar, and above that, a face with sharp lines and a handsome face.

His eyes were dark and deep, and Chang Luoyun met his gaze, as if being burned by fire, he quickly looked away.

Mu Jingyi bent his lips, "Liang Qi, ask who exactly ordered them."

His voice is low, but there is an irresistible force.

It was only then that Chang Luoyun saw clearly that the guard called Liang Qi tied a person behind his horse, and it was the robber who was injured by him.

The robber in front of him knew that he was no match, so he had no intention of resisting.Liang Qi also tied him up and carried him over.

"Pei Cheng is behind the scenes, mainly to prevent Miss Chang from going to Beijing." Liang Qi said.

Mu Jingyi frowned almost invisibly, and his tone was still flat, "Recently, there have been more silks shipped to the Xia Kingdom. Tell He Gui that all silks without official certificates will be treated privately, and those that should be confiscated will be confiscated. Destroy Destroy."

"Yes."

Is this helping her?Chang Luoyun was stunned.

Mu Jingyi didn't speak, and walked slowly into the city while holding the rein with both hands.

Chang Luoyun sat in front of him, smelling the refreshing pine and cypress breath on his body, his tense heartstrings slowly relaxed.Suddenly there was an inexplicable closeness to him in my heart.
