Reborn as a farmhouse concubine, she raises a prince and is busy farming

Chapter 264 Torture
"Look, no one has sent a message here yet. Have you ever heard that no news is good news? So, this is a good thing. Peace of mind, Jiu'er, take a good rest."

Lin Chujiu knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless. The matter had been decided a long time ago and it should have been divided into two ways. It was also to protect his parents and family, so he was worried now, but there was no better way.

A few people rested for a while, cooked some simple meals, cleaned up the traces, and prepared to continue on their way.

After passing this mountain, we left the county completely and headed towards the capital.

"Master, I think we can take the water route for the first part of the journey. After all, it's backed by mountains and rivers. This way we won't leave footprints or ruts. It might be safer."

Ah Shui's suggestion did make sense, but Yuan Jing felt it was unnecessary.

Now that they are walking on a dirt road, the other party should have sent people to follow them. Since those people already know that they are going back to Beijing, no matter where they go, the other party will catch up.

Moreover, even if you take the water route, it will be even more dangerous if you are overtaken by that group of people and become isolated and helpless.

Lin Chujiu raised his head, looked at Yuan Jing's uncertain expression, and said, "I think it would be safer to take the waterway."

"Are you serious?" Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows. In this tense atmosphere, his expression was quite amusing to Lin Chujiu. "If you have been staring at a person, but he suddenly appears in your field of vision, disappears, what will you do?"

Hearing Yuan Jing ask this, Lin Chujiu was suddenly stunned. There was some truth in what he said. It reminded her that when she was staring at Zhang Buzheng before, she often worried that Zhang Buzheng would suddenly run away.

At that time, if Zhang Buzheng suddenly disappeared, she would definitely continue to investigate, and maybe she would tell Ouyang Jianxiu to send more manpower. Thinking of this, Lin Chujiu understood.

They are in the same situation now. They have been in the enemy's sight, but if they suddenly disappear, the other party will be nervous and will probably send more people, and may even behave in extreme ways.

"Understood?" Yuan Jing looked at Lin Chujiu's sudden realization and smiled, "So, it's better to let them follow us not far or close, so they know where we are, but they won't act easily. ”

Lin Chujiu felt that it made sense. Taking the waterway might anger those people, and the number of fights could be even greater.

Yuan Jing got on the carriage and sat next to Lin Chujiu. The two of them stopped talking and walked quietly, listening to the sounds outside. Suddenly, Yuan Jing's expression changed, he hugged Lin Chujiu and pressed him to his side.

At the same time, a sharp sword came in from behind and hit the exact spot where the two of them were. Lin Chujiu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Before she could react, Yuan Jing took her hand and jumped down. The carriage, dodging.

"Protect His Highness!"

The surrounding guards moved quickly and surrounded Yuan Jing and Lin Chujiu, but the group of men in black behind them were obviously coming for Yuan Jing and Lin Chujiu. Wherever they went, the men in black would target them. where.

They had bows and arrows in their hands, so Yuan Jing and the others had no choice but to avoid them.

The group of people seemed to be fully prepared and had weapons in their hands. Yuan Jing was sitting on the carriage, unarmed and unprepared. At this time, he could only randomly pick up a thick wooden stick from the forest and use it as a weapon.

These people are very powerful. They have obviously done enough homework in advance, and they obviously want to kill Yuan Jing and the others. This was really beyond Yuan Jing's expectation, because they didn't tell anyone about their trip to the capital, and the people in Chunfeng Tower only knew that they were leaving, but they didn't know where their destination was. Lin Chujiu frowned. She regretted it now. If she had known, she would have learned a lot when Yuan Jing taught Lin Yaoyuan martial arts. Now she can't help, so she can only secretly hold some medicine in her hand and prepare. Use force at critical moments.

She also felt that the arrival of this group of people was strange, but just when they were about to leave the city completely, the assassin suddenly came, and it was clear that they wanted to kill them.

Lin Chujiu guessed that there might be traitors and enemy spies among Yuan Jing's bodyguards, so that the assassins could know their whereabouts.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the people on the other side were obviously a group of desperate people. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, Lin Chujiu saw the right time and sprinkled something towards the group of black-clothed assassins.

However, those people seemed to have expected that Lin Chujiu would do this. They just backed away and covered their mouths and noses. They were not afraid at all, leaving Lin Chujiu no chance to attack them.

Lin Chujiu frowned. She didn't know why. This group of people seemed to know her very well. How could she fight?
Thinking of this, Lin Chujiu suddenly thought that when she came, Lin Yanyuan secretly stuffed something into her hand. Lin Chujiu didn't notice it at the time, but thought it was a little gift from the little girl.

At this moment, I suddenly felt it from my pocket. When I took it out, I saw that it was covered with small eyes. It seemed to be something carved out of wood. I don’t know what its purpose was. It looked like a special slingshot.

Lin Chujiu didn't have time to think about it. The slingshot looked like a weapon. She took it out and fired it like a slingshot. The feeling was simply shocking. With a slight pull of the thing, the thing fired was over a large area.

I don't know what was hidden in those small holes. The assassins who were shot seemed to have been shot and fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.

Those people fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and their bodies were still twitching. Even Lin Chujiu himself was shocked.

Yuan Jing was afraid that those people would recover, so he quickly stepped forward to subdue those people and tied them up with hemp ropes.

Lin Chujiu was completely confused. She didn't expect Lin Yaoyuan to create such a powerful little thing. When did this little girl become so powerful?

"Your Highness, in my opinion, these people should be arrested and tortured. How dare they?"

The men were so angry that this group of people took advantage of the danger and chose to assassinate Yuan Jing and Lin Chujiu on the road. The background of these people must be quite deep. But Yuan Jing felt that now was not the time.

In particular, Yuan Jing already knows who the boss behind this group of people is.

In this case, there is no need to keep these assassins. Taking them back to Beijing will bring many uncertainties and hidden dangers, so it is better to just...

"Ah Shui, you know what to do." Yuan Jing gave Ah Shui a look.

Ah Shui was busy dealing with the assassins.

This group of people had been tied up by Yuan Jing and the others. Ah Shui and his men looked through their clothes one by one, hoping to find their marks on their bodies and see who they belonged to.

However, most of them had no marks on their bodies, and only one of the assassins had a Higan flower pattern on his body.
