After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 10 Conspiracy (2)

Qingshuang was startled immediately, thinking to herself, could it be that the miss really hit the mark?
Refugees turned into mobs?
She turned her head and looked, and she really saw a large number of refugees rushing in front of her like a wave.They looked crazy and rushed here, as if there were countless gold and silver treasures waiting for them in front of them.

This scene reminded her of the "locust plague" she heard from the elders in her hometown when she was young.

Qingshuang hurriedly said: "Go around quickly, don't let them chase after you! By the way, where is Zhou Yang? Tell him to come here!"

Zhou Yang was personally ordered by Master Ban to escort the young lady to the capital.He has excellent martial arts skills, and he followed Ban Zhao to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He has been loyal to the Ban family for so many years and has ideas. Master Ban trusts him very much.

"I already know about the refugees." Said everyone.Zhou Yang rode his horse and came from the front, commanding concisely: "Here, I will lead a group of guards to stop the refugees, and your followers will quickly divert to escort the young lady into Ling County."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Afterwards, [-]% of the Ban family's guards left behind to deal with the rioting refugees, and the rest of the servants and maids took the Ban family's dowry and walked along the small path with Lou Xiyue.

Although it is a small road, it is more than enough to accommodate the wedding team.It's just not wider than the official road, so it's relatively slow to walk.Moreover, being disturbed by the refugees and taking a long detour, it was impossible to reach Ling County at dusk.

Qingshuang blamed herself a little, thinking, if she had listened to the young lady earlier, bypassed the refugees in advance, or drove those people away, wouldn't they have already lodged in the post house in Ling County at this moment.

Lou Xiyue saw that she was in a bad mood, but she wasn't very good at comforting others, so she just said: "It's useless to regret, now you need to find a place to stay as soon as possible - you ask your servants to explore the way first, it's best to find an inn to reserve a room .”

"I think so too." Qingshuang cheered up and said: "Miss, don't worry, when it gets dark, we will definitely have a place to stay!"

Fortunately, they were lucky enough. Not long after, the servant who went to explore the way came back with good news:

"Reporting to miss, there happens to be an inn twenty miles ahead, and the little one has already booked a room, just wait for miss to come over!"

Lou Xiyue ordered: "Then you will lead the way ahead, and everyone will follow you. Also, the two of you quickly return along the original road and tell Zhou Yang and others to meet us at the front inn."

"Yes, the villain will do it now." Several people took the order to retreat and divided into two groups, each going in the opposite direction.

Under Lou Xiyue's order, the Ban family's wedding team moved a lot faster. About half an hour later, everyone found an inn outside Ling County.

Although this place is not the county seat of Ling County, it is not too far from Ling County. In addition, there is a wide river at the foot of the mountain, and the boats stop at the ferry. People from villages and towns gather here.

The Ban family's wedding team was very powerful, when they entered the village, they attracted the attention of many people around.Lou Xiyue didn't care about other people's stares, and walked straight out of the car.

She put on a veil when she got off the carriage, and walked quickly into the inn under the escort of Qingshuang.

Because she had negotiated with the innkeeper beforehand, Qingshuang made up the prepaid money and took over the entire inn, and then the waiter took her and Lou Xiyue to the private room.

For safety reasons, two guest rooms on the left and right of Lou Xiyue's house were reserved for the Ban family's guards to stay.If there is an accident at night, or if you encounter a thief, it is good to have a care.

As for the other attendants, there are three to five people in a room, responsible for guarding the dowry.

When night fell, Zhou Yang and other guards finally rushed to the inn to join the crowd.Zhou Yang asked Qingshuang to send a message to Lou Xiyue on his behalf, saying:

"Those refugees seem to have come prepared, and they came here to block us. If we hadn't divided into two groups and left, we would have been trapped by the refugees at this moment, and we couldn't get out. As for the later... the refugees saw that the Ban's guards were very angry. With some ability, I left without much entanglement."

Qingshuang said while frowning: "Miss, tell me, why did those refugees block our Ban family's delivery team? The Ban family has never had any enmity with them..."

Lou Xiyue was eating dinner, lowering her head in thought.

She thought to herself that the origin of the refugees on the official road might not be simple, but she didn't know who was behind it.

The Ban family, the sending team, the refugees, the marriage contract...

Lou Xiyue secretly guessed, could it be related to the marriage between the Ban family and King Xuanping?Someone wants to stop her from going to Beijing and ruin this engagement?

Her side is dual-purpose, Qingshuang's side is full of worries.

"Miss, I always have an ominous premonition. It seems that our going to Beijing will not be as smooth as imagined. First the refugees, and then the robbers, I am worried that there will be accidents." Qingshuang said:

"You said that this King Xuan Ping is true, did he not consider your safety, miss, and send a few guards to protect you!"

Compared with Xuan Ping Wang Fu Guan, Lou Xiyue is more concerned about another matter.She put down her chopsticks and asked, "A robber? What robber?"

Qingshuang: "Ah, yes, the robber." She knocked on the head and quickly explained:

"I was going to talk to Miss—just now when I went downstairs to look for Xiaoer to get food, I heard from the guests in the lobby that there was a bandit disaster in Ling County recently. Several villages around were looted by robbers. The government is busy suppressing the bandits."

Lou Xiyue: "You are afraid that robbers will come to this village." She analyzed:
"If it is an ordinary robber, I think it is unlikely that the robbers will come here. On the one hand, this village is mostly a market, and the farmers do not live here often. Even if the robbers come, they will not be able to plunder much crops;
"As for the money--the small traders go back to their residences after collecting their stalls, and don't stay on the farm. Therefore, even if they come, they can't grab much money. No matter how stupid the robbers are, they won't do such a waste of effort thing."

Unless the gang of robbers is not for money and crops, but for something else.

Thinking of the refugees she met not long ago, Lou Xiyue kept her mind on it.She told Qingshuang: "You tell Zhou Yang and other guards to pay more attention later, step up patrols tonight, don't let the little thief take advantage of the loopholes."

Qingshuang also had this plan, so she nodded and immediately went down to take care of it.

into the night.

There was silence inside and outside the inn, Lou Xiyue lay down on the bed after washing, and after turning off the lights, Qingshuang guarded the outside room to rest.

Just when everything was silent, suddenly, there was a soft "da da" in the courtyard outside the guest room.

Lou Xiyue suddenly opened her eyes——

She immediately turned over and sat up, touched the pillow with her hand, and immediately used the dagger.She put on her coat neatly, and quietly came to the window, her beautiful eyes were full of vigilance.At the same time, the shouts of the Ban family guards spread in the courtyard:

"There are thieves, there are thieves! Catch the thieves!—"
