Chapter 953 How Do You Know There Are Bandits Ambushing

Halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Xia Hongmo frowned, raised his head over the curtain, and asked Dequan what happened.

It was almost at this time that Gong Yufei stretched out his hand, motioning for Xia Baoer to hand it over to him.

The little girl's pink face was full of surprise.

Xia Baoer shook her head and refused, and her little finger pointed at Xia Hongmo who was unaware.

Daddy is still here, brother Afei, what is he trying to do!

Gong Yufei raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint smile in his black and thin eyebrows.

He leaned forward slightly, holding Xia Baoer's hand in his palm.

Gong Yufei gently squeezed her fingertips.

After Xia Hongmo and Dequan finished speaking, they sat back in their original seats.

The moment he turned his head, he seemed to see Xia Baoer retracting his hand quickly.

The little girl's white fingertips were pink and tender, and she had black eyelashes hanging down, and she shaved her hair behind her ears.

Gong Yufei sat quietly in his original position, with a faint look in his downcast eyes.

It's as if nothing happened.

Xia Baoer asked with a guilty conscience: "Daddy, why did you stop all of a sudden?"

Xia Hongmo didn't think too much, just said: "I don't know what's wrong with the third child. He said that there are few pedestrians ahead, and there may be bandits ambushing him."

After finishing speaking, it seemed that she was afraid that her daughter would be shocked.

Xia Hongmo comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, Bao'er, Daddy has already arranged for the imperial guards to go ahead to investigate the situation."

Xia Baoer felt puzzled in her heart.

She nodded slightly.

After a while, there was a clatter of horseshoes outside the carriage.

"Report to the emperor, a total of six bandits were found in ambush ahead."

It was General Xiang Wei's voice.

Dequan continued: "The servants have just arranged for torture. The bandits confessed that they have been entrenched on this mountain road. They didn't know that His Majesty was going to pass by today. If they knew, they would not dare to ambush them."

Xia Hongmo was surprised: "Is it true that the third child is sure?"

Xia Bao'er felt an indescribable strangeness.

In the end, Xia Hongmo ordered the imperial guards to deal with the bandits on the spot.

And the third prince was also summoned by Xia Hongmo to the carriage.

"Old man, how did you know this time that bandits were ambushing nearby to avoid danger?"

Through the slightly shaking car curtain, Xia Baoer vaguely saw a man with an ordinary face and a frail figure.

This is her third brother?
The third prince Xia Yuancheng replied neither humble nor overbearing: "This road up the mountain is relatively remote, but it is the widest and most stable road within the radius, along the way, but few people pass by, I feel a little strange.

So I guessed that the local woodcutters and common people usually know which way to go up the mountain is safe.If they don't go from here, there is obviously a problem. "

Xia Baoer listened quietly, her doubts deepened.

Based on this observation alone, can it be directly concluded that there are bandits?
It seems to be more powerful than Brother Afei's divination.

Xia Hongmo was silent, his eyes were unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Outside the carriage, the third prince was even more humble: "I have also considered that I might be punished for guessing wrong, but for the safety of my father and sister, I have no choice but to speak out."

When Xia Hongmo heard it, he also felt that it made some sense.

There is nothing to be afraid of a few bandits in the district, but they are afraid that if they attack the convoy without thinking, they will scare his Bao'er.

It seems that the third prince's prudence has merit.

What people didn't expect was that suddenly, the third prince said again: "Please don't blame elder brother for being negligent because of this. My son privately thinks that elder brother is busy with affairs, so mistakes are inevitable."

This time, Xia Baoer's willow eyebrows furrowed deeply.
