Border Cook

Chapter 307 Inappropriate
Logically speaking, most of the tasks assigned in the army cannot be decided by oneself, but Lu Qiyan has never said much about the situation in the army. Anything he can say must be something that is 90% certain.

Could it be...

A terrible thought arose in Xia Mingyue's mind.

Although she felt that this matter might be a little absurd, and if it was true, the mastermind was too cunning, but to be on the safe side, Xia Mingyue felt that it would be better to confirm it again.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mingyue sniffed and lifted a corner of the curtain in front of the carriage, "Brother Shi, how far are we from here?"

"There's still some distance to go." Shi Yong answered patiently, "Madam Xia and Madam Zhuang, please wait patiently. We will try to drive the carriage as fast as possible."

"Thank you, Brother Shi." Xia Mingyue thanked him, her voice trembling with tears, "My husband was injured before, but it was not serious. Could it be that the previous arm injury was not healed and it affected the old injury?"

Old wounds?

He didn't know this...

Shi Yong was a little flustered, but when he saw Xia Mingyue asking, he rolled his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Commander Lu didn't recover from his old injuries well, and now he has new injuries, so his situation is very dangerous..."

"Madam Xia, please take your seat quickly. Let's drive the carriage faster. Otherwise, if we are late, it will be hard to say what will happen." Shi Yong quickly changed the subject.

"Okay..." Xia Mingyue replied with a sob and lowered the curtain.

After the curtain fell, Xia Mingyue's worried and crying look disappeared, and was replaced by a serious face.

Lu Qiyan had never suffered any arm injuries before, and Shi Yong obviously didn't know about it and was just following her words.

Moreover, Shi Yong seemed a little flustered when he spoke, and didn't want to discuss too much, so it was obvious that he had something to hide.

Lu Qiyan probably wasn't in any trouble, and Shi Yong wasn't a soldier either. He just wanted to lure her out and abduct her to another place!

Previously, Shi Yong sent things over twice in the name of Lu Qiyan, all he did was to increase Xia Mingyue's trust.

Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and clenched the hand of Zhuang Cui beside her.

It was a hot day, but Xia Mingyue's fingers were actually a little cold.

Zhuang Cui thought that Xia Mingyue was just too worried about Lu Qiyan, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, Commander Lu will be safe."

Xia Mingyue shook her head slightly, pointed forward, then pointed at herself and Zhuang Cui, put her finger on her lips, and her expression was solemn.

Zhuang Cui immediately became alert upon seeing this, and lowered her voice to Xia Mingyue's ear, "Madam, do you think those two people outside are inappropriate?"

"It's more than inappropriate." Xia Mingyue also spoke in a very low voice, "These two people might be bandits who want to kidnap us."

Shi Yong spent so much effort planning this, it is obvious that he has an extraordinary hatred for her.

Lu Qiyan had mentioned the suppression of bandits before, so the only ones who would deliberately seek revenge at this time would be the bandits who ruled the mountain and kidnapped her to vent their anger and also to threaten her.

Bandits?

Zhuang Cui was startled, and subconsciously tightened the dagger at her waist. "Then we need to escape as soon as possible. There are two people on the opposite side. Although I cannot guarantee that I can completely subdue them, I can at least delay them for a while, enough for my wife to run away."

"When the time comes, my lady, you must run back without hesitation. If you can find passers-by for help, that would be the best. If not, then look for a village or a forest first..."

As a bodyguard in the past, Zhuang Cui had some experience in dealing with these matters.

"We have to run, but we can't run alone. We need two people to run." Xia Mingyue said, "I have a weak constitution and don't exercise much on weekdays. I'm out of breath after every step. If you don't follow me, I'm not sure I can run away."

When Xia Mingyue said this, there was a hint of wit in her voice. Zhuang Cui raised her eyebrows.

It's already this late and my wife is still joking like this.

However, the lady was unwilling to let her take the brunt of the consequences, which was enough to prove that the lady treated her as a family member, not just an ordinary servant.

Zhuang Cui felt very warm in her heart. She took advantage of the fact that the people in front were not paying attention and lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage to check the surrounding situation and look for a suitable opportunity to escape.

Xia Mingyue, on the other hand, was still stroking the thing in her hand and discussing with Zhuang Cui in a low voice.

The carriage continued to gallop along.

The further they went, the more arrogant and presumptuous the expressions on Shi Yong and the driver beside him became, with wicked smiles on their faces.

Now he is more than ten miles away from the county town, and there is no village or shop nearby. If he walks a little further, someone will be able to pick him up. This man is now completely trapped.

The two of them had completely completed their mission and were just waiting to go back and get rewards and wine from their big brother.

Maybe one of the young girls imprisoned in the dungeon of the mountain stronghold could be rewarded to them.

Even though those little girls had been imprisoned for a long time and had been played with for a long time, they were still very pretty and usually out of their reach, so it was good to be able to have a taste of them.

The two were so happily thinking about taking credit that they didn't notice any other movements in the carriage, let alone the secret plan carried out by Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui.

The carriage was still speeding. Xia Mingyue lifted the curtain and urged anxiously, "Brother Shi, can you drive the carriage faster?"

"Okay." Shi Yong nodded, with a hint of mockery on his face.

She is really a fool. She doesn't know what she is about to face. It's ridiculous that she is still thinking about her injured husband.

After a while, Xia Mingyue urged again, "Brother Shi, can you hurry up a little? I'm really worried..."

"Got it!" Shi Yong curled his lips again.

It's true that my elder brother's method really works. It really tricked Xia into going around in circles.

Glancing at Shi Yong's smug look on his face, Xia Mingyue lowered her eyes.

As they passed a forest and saw smoke rising from a nearby kitchen, Xia Mingyue opened the curtain again and said, "Brother Shi, please stop for a moment."

"What?" Shi Yong was puzzled.

"We want to go to the bathroom." Xia Mingyue said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Shi, please stop the carriage. We will go to the small woods next to us and be back soon."

Women have so much to do!

Shi Yong complained in his heart, but still ordered the driver next to him to tighten the reins.

The carriage stopped, Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui got out and walked two steps towards the grove.

Then he stopped again, with a shy look on his face, "Brother Shi, can you drive the carriage forward a little bit?"

"It's okay, we won't look at it!" Shi Yong was a little annoyed, "Go quickly and come back quickly, don't waste time, otherwise you won't be able to get into the military camp before dark."

"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded, "Brother Shi, please wait for a moment..."
