Chapter 247
The sky was dark and the wind was bleak.
It had been raining heavily for several days, and the entire mountain path was covered with mud. Finally, the rain stopped, but the sky was still gray and cold.
The contiguous mountains and gullies are winding and precipitous, stretching to the end of the sky. Looking at it in the blink of an eye, there are decaying grass everywhere on the hillside.The autumn wind swept past, and among the rippling waves of decaying grass, black tips appeared from the tops of the heads.
"Brother, we haven't opened for many days. It's not possible. Today, we're going to stay in vain, right? If this goes on, I'm afraid that in a few days, the brothers will have gruel."
"spit,"
He spat out a piece of straw, and the voice was a bit annoyed: "It would be nice to have some porridge for you to drink, what are you doing talking about, do you think I want to do this? There are all disaster victims on this road, you let What should I do? Is it useful to rob people of a few pieces of dry food?"
"How about, brother, let's go too. The big households in the surrounding towns have almost escaped. Everyone has gone to Qizhou City. It is useless for us to guard here."
"Go, where can I go, Qizhou City has been closed, the Weihe River has flooded three mountains and five counties, countless dead people, and victims of disasters everywhere, and, haven't you heard the news that there is an epidemic in Fengzhou, I heard that many people have died, now flee, do you want the brothers to die?"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do..."
"What else can I do, just..."
"Big brother... big brother, come... come,..."
While the two were talking, a figure rushed over from the grass alley: "Come... come, come..."
"What's going on, you kid, don't sum it up, and if you have something to say, explain it to me slowly."
"Yes, yes, yes... in front, there is a car, a car, a convoy, here, here, I checked, that is, it is a funeral procession, the procession, look, it looks like, yes, it is from a rich family .. still... still... still..."
"Damn it, it's hard listening to you. You mean there's a fat sheep coming up, the funeral caravan?"
"Yes, yes, no, but..."
"Brother, since it is a funeral convoy, there will definitely be a lot of funerary objects. This is a good opportunity, please hurry up and order, let's make a good deal."
"..."
The voice paused for a moment, "Okay, hurry up, let's gather the brothers in the past, there is a fat sheep coming, how can we miss this opportunity."
"Yes."
"Brother, big brother, wait, wait, I haven't said anything yet, I'm done talking..." The stammering shout was drowned in the wind, the two quickly finished their discussion and walked away long ago, but they didn't know what to say. I didn't hear it.
At the end of the winding official road, a group of carriages approached slowly.
"Left guard, where is this place?" In the carriage, Luo Ling'er in a plain skirt poked her head out, with a smile on her delicate face, and asked in a playful voice.
Zuo Ming, dressed in a mighty royal guard uniform, replied on a tall horse: "Princess, we have already entered the border of Shonan County, and the front is Tingyun Mountain. If you go further, there will be a small town. After passing the small town, In another three days' journey, we will arrive at Qizhou City, after passing Qizhou, we will reach Tongzhou, Qingzhou and Tongzhou are at the junction, so we still have about half a month to go."
It has been more than a month before and after, and I have just arrived here, and I have only traveled half of the distance.
It's really bad enough. After traveling for ten days, they received a secret report that the upper reaches of the Weihe River had been pouring downpours for more than a month, and a flood that had never happened in a century broke out. The harm caused them to have to take a detour. have been severely affected.
Since entering Shonan County, I have seen countless fleeing victims.
They stopped and went, which delayed a lot of time.
Luo Ling'er thought for a while, and said: "Does the guard on the left feel that there is something wrong? Ling'er has inquired about the victims. There are bandits in and out near Tingyun Mountain. Now we are going further and further away, and we rarely see them on the road. To passers-by. It’s also unbelievably quiet here. Although I haven’t reached Tingyun Mountain yet, Ling’er is worried...”
Xu Shi grew up in a sect, Luo Ling'er didn't always call herself the princess, Miss Ben, like Luo Xian'er, on the contrary, she had a kind of affinity, plus that delicate appearance and eloquent mouth.
It has long won the hearts of the entire team to win over.
On the entire official road, there is no pedestrian, no refugee fleeing, and even the sound of birds and animals cannot be heard, which is really abnormal.
Moreover, the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and the official road is in a narrow pass. If someone sets up an ambush here, they may have no way to advance or retreat, and they will not even be able to escape.
"The princess doesn't have to worry. His subordinates have already sent people to investigate, and he should return..." Zuo Ming also frowned. Seeing the girl's sad face, Zuo Ming comforted him. exit.
Between the mountain streams, there were bursts of rumbling loud noises.
Countless rocks rolled down the hillside, the horses neighed, the crowd screamed and scattered to avoid, and the originally neat formation of the convoy was broken up.Boulders fell from the two wings, trapping the entire convoy in the lane.It really reflected Luo Ling'er's words.
There is no way out.
"Don't mess around, protect the coffin and ladies." Zuo Ming shouted, drew out the saber from his waist, and the handsome man stood in front of the coffin and the carriage.
"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy roads, people in front, do you hear me, quickly move all your belongings to the Lord, and the Lord will let you go. Otherwise , then leave me with your lives!"
The roar shook the sky, and the rocks stopped rolling down. Countless bandits flew from the hillside and landed on the muddy road. They surrounded the entire convoy like soldiers from heaven.
Zuo Ming looked stern, looking at the many bandits, there were hundreds of them, and they all seemed to be very skilled.
Heart sighed.
This turn, I'm afraid a fierce battle is inevitable.
"Miss, what should we do now? There are too many bandits, and while they are fighting with the guards, the servants should cover the lady and escape first?"
In the carriage, Hongjin opened the curtain to look at the black robbers holding weapons outside, her voice trembling violently, she pulled out the dagger Luo Wuyou gave her with a swipe and shielded it in front of Luo Wuyou.
The situation in front of him is not optimistic. If he does not escape, he may not be able to leave in a while.
"Where can I go, chariots and horses are impassable. The terrain is steep, and the roads in front, back, left, and right are blocked. If you want to escape, you must grow wings and fly into the sky like a bird."
Luo Wuyou took a panoramic view of the terrain in front of him, frowned and said: "Besides, Mother's coffin is still here, where do you want me to escape, is it possible that you want to leave Mother's coffin and escape by yourself?"
While Luo Wuyou and the others were discussing countermeasures, Zuo Ming's voice came from outside.
"You are presumptuous, we are the personal guards of Princess Yongzhao of the court, and we are ordered to escort the coffin back home. If you dare to intercept the convoy of the imperial court, are you not afraid that the emperor will send troops to eradicate you all?"
Zuo Ming drank again and said: "You all just want to ask for money, why bother to fight against the court, I have 500 taels of silver here, even if I pay homage to the heads of the family here, please do me a favor. Let us go there, I don't know if the head of the family can sell me face."
You Ming turned the words back, playing both hard and soft, as he spoke, he took out a bulging money bag from his waist, stretched out his hand and threw it, and the sound of the silver slaps clearly entered the ears of every bandit.
But the bandit leader frowned: "How could it be officers and soldiers? How did you inquire about information? You didn't even know where the fat sheep came from."
His voice was low and a little annoyed.
The man who was stared at was aggrieved, and stammered: "Big brother, I, I didn't finish my sentence, yes yes yes, you guys, go, go, go too fast."
"I... really want to kill you bastard."
After listening to him, after listening to him, I'm afraid that the fat sheep will run away early and disappear.The bandit leader raised his slap, and slapped the stuttering man on the head with one slap.
The stuttering man covered his head and didn't dare to call out.
Another man holding a big knife persuaded: "Brother, it's no use blaming the skinny man. At this point, I have done everything anyway. Is it possible that you still want to take the 500 taels back? 500 taels of silver, What can we buy, how can we feed our brothers? What’s wrong with the officers and soldiers, anyway, the brothers are almost out of food, and instead of being starved to death, it’s not enough to go all out and rob them, let’s have a full meal first.”
"Being a hungry ghost is better than being a hungry ghost."
"What the big boss and the second boss said is that they have so many supplies in this convoy, there must be some valuable things, and they want to send us away for only 500 taels. Does this mean that they treat us as beggars?"
"That's right, the head of the family, give the order, and the brothers will obey you."
"This..." The bandit leader looked at a group of excited brothers, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this time, let's make an exception, brothers, let me take them all down, and then give the things to me." The owner of the family snatched it."
"Yes, oh Huo..." The bandits shouted frantically.
Seeing this, Zuo Ming was even more angry: "Everyone is on guard, and we will protect you ladies to the death."
"Yes."
Bang and clang, the sound of swords colliding echoed in the air above the entire lane, the two sides quickly fought together, the bandits were all extremely tough, and the guards sent by Luo Bingshu suffered horrific casualties.
The sound of swords and wailing was mixed together.
Like a death movement played by the god of death, the accompanying ladies, maids and wives all curled up and hugged each other, trembling with fright, and dared not get out of the carriage.
"Ling'er, what should we do now? No, there are too many bandits, Zuo Ming can't hold on for long, let's run away, take me and run away, Linger..."
Luo Xian'er was so frightened that she grabbed Luo Ling'er's arm. She was pampered since she was a child, and she had never experienced such a scene. She was so frightened that she was trembling all over at this moment, and begged Luo Ling'er to take her away.
"Sister, don't be afraid. Let's take a look first. Don't worry, my sister is here, and Zuo Ming is here. Besides, isn't there a master at the big sister's side? It'll be fine!"
Luo Ling'er said, but her eyes were tightly locked outside, and there was a trace of solemnity on her delicate face. These rogues were much more powerful than she imagined, and all of them were vigorous, especially the two leaders.
First-class martial arts, no matter how you look at it, you should not be an unknown person.But why did he become a robber in this Tingyun Mountain?Surrounded on all sides, she was fine alone.
How can you escape with someone who doesn't know martial arts and who is out of breath after walking a few steps?
Luo Xian'er held on to Luo Ling'er's sleeves tightly, as if she was afraid that Luo Ling'er would leave her behind, of course she, Luo Ling'er, would not be afraid, she knew martial arts, although she didn't know how martial arts were, but Looking at the hand she showed at the birthday banquet, it would not be too low, even if something happened, she could still protect herself.
But she is delicate and weak, if she really falls into the hands of this hateful bandit, wouldn't she just be slaughtered?
"If you want to go, I can take you away now."
On the other side, in Luo Wuyou's carriage, Qingluan, who had been keeping her eyes closed all the time, suddenly opened her eyes, "These people are good at martial arts, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave if you want to."
