Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 472 Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Aqiao. (4)
indoor
Liu Qiao was still sitting on the ground, tears flooding, and since that year, she has not cried again, because crying means that she is weak, and weakness will destroy her and make her unable to support herself.

But tonight...

Jun Shixuan!
Damn you!
She shouldn't have shown mercy back then, and she shouldn't have remembered his so-called kindness!

You wait!

I will definitely settle this account with you!

This night, Liu Qiao stayed up all night and indulged all night, allowing the suppressed sadness in her heart to drown her like a tide, and the result of doing so was that she was in a trance the next day and her face was very pale.

"Boss, why don't we rest for two days before we go on our way?" Li Bo worried.

Liu Qiao shook his head, "No need, I'm in a carriage, so I can rest."

Uncle Li had been by her side for many years, and seeing her expression, he knew that she would not change her mind, so he had to continue on the journey. Taizhou's land route was still safe, as long as no pirates came ashore, there would be almost no bandits.

A few years ago, the imperial court set up a military camp in Taizhou to defend against pirates. However, the coast of Taizhou is vast, and often the pirates came ashore and ran away after looting before the army came. The warships in naval battles did not dare to pursue them. Even when they went down the river to intercept and kill water bandits, they were repeatedly defeated. Perhaps in order not to make the court feel that they were useless, they used their killing power on land bandits. After coming down, the bandits on all the hills in Taizhou were wiped out, but they also did their part for the locality.

Therefore, as long as no pirates come ashore, it is considered safe to come to Taizhou.

However, because the official roads in Taizhou are not easy and time-consuming, most of the caravans travel by water, and generally they can still be safe as long as they manage along the way and have some guards.

And those who don't have money to manage or maintain guards along the way will obediently follow the official path.

Just like Liuqiao and his party.

Although the land route is slightly safer, the group of people still walked very cautiously along the way, and since that person broke into the house that night, Liu Qiao did not refuse to let people watch the night, but he did not let Bai Yi alone, but followed the pedestrians. The bodyguards discussed with each other, and the two of them took turns every night.

He didn't know whether it was because someone kept watch at night, or because Liu Qiao saw through it, and that person never appeared again. During this period, Liu Qiao found an excuse to ask Uncle Li to inquire about that person, but he didn't find out.

Xu did not follow.

And as Yinghai approached, Liuqiao also put aside this matter and studied the books. When they arrived in Yinghai, they did not stay in an inn, but lived in a small house under the arrangement of the bodyguard.

After a short rest, Liu Qiao started to go out early and return late. Of course, besides Li Bo and Bai Yi, he also took two bodyguards with him when he went out.

Although Yinghai is a county, it is somewhat different from other counties in Dazhou. The county seat of Yinghai County is very large. If a circle is used to describe Yinghai County, then the county seat is that the circle is missing a few corners. One corner is the villages under the county seat, all of which are fishing villages, close to the sea.

For ten days, Liu Qiao traveled almost all over the county, but he couldn't find what he was looking for.

Until No. 11 days, I finally got some news from the old shopkeeper of a business. The old shopkeeper said that he seemed to have seen the things she described, but they were not for eating, but for viewing. It is very beautiful, it was brought back by an overseas caravan.

Liu Qiao hurriedly asked where the caravan was.

The old shopkeeper said that he had gone to sea and hadn't come back yet.

Liu Qiao asked again, is that thing still there?

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said he didn't know.

Liu Qiao could only ask about the situation of the caravan in detail, and then went to inquire, and learned that the caravan would return in a few days, so he had to wait patiently.

However, on the night before the caravan returned, flames appeared in the county town.

"Master!" Uncle Li knocked on the door anxiously.

Liu Qiao opened the door, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, someone set fire to the county town!" Li Bo said, "Maybe it's a pirate?"

Liu Qiao's heart sank.

"Boss An and the others are in the hall, let the villain come and invite the master over!" Li Bo continued.

Liu Qiao nodded, "Okay." Then she started to walk towards the hall, and when she arrived at the hall, she saw all the people from the bodyguard bureau. She looked at a middle-aged man with a round face, "Boss An, how is the situation?"

An Escort stood up, "Dong Liu's family, I have asked my brother to go out to investigate the situation, now that the city gate is closed, we can't leave the city, if the situation is not serious, we will rush to the yamen, if it is serious, we will stick to this place! "

"Defend to death?" Liu Qiao frowned, "Is it feasible?"

"If the yamen is not safe, then we can only stay where we are!" Biaotou An said, "Don't worry, Liu Dong's family, our brothers will do everything in their power to protect you!"

Liu Qiao pondered for a while, "Okay, then I'll leave everything to the security guard!"

The navy camp of the imperial court is in Yinghai, even if the pirates really come, the situation should not be so bad that they will stick to it!

However, the development of things shattered her hopes.

The flames outside were soaring into the sky, and the sound of killing became louder and louder, as if it was just outside the door.

The person sent by Security Guard to inquire about the news came back half an hour later, the weapon in his hand was stained with blood, "how is it?"

"Boss, the situation is very bad. These people should have ambushed in the city a long time ago, and they are waiting to cooperate with each other tonight. Now the yamen has been trapped and the city gate has been occupied. It is estimated that the pirates have opened their doors now." The city gate lets in the outsiders!"

"These days are the days when the major overseas fleets return, and they have been staring at these goods for a long time!"

"Boss, we can't get out!"

Head of Escort An looked extremely dignified, "Except for the 11th year of Taiping, there has never been such a big movement of pirates. There are overseas caravans returning every month. Just a few caravans of goods will make them so rampant? What if It’s for the goods of the caravan, wouldn’t it be better to do it directly at sea?”

"What does Escort An mean?" Liu Qiao narrowed his eyes.

Chief An didn't dare to say anything, "Now I can only hope that the navy barracks will come! Liu Dong's family, you sit down first, and I will arrange for brothers to guard the house to the death! The navy barracks is not far from the county town, we should be able to support it until The army is here, and this house is in a civilian area, so the pirates shouldn't attack here so quickly!"

"Escort An arranges it anyway." Liu Qiao nodded and said.

Escort An nodded, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Liu Qiao sat with his head down and clenched his fists, silent.

"My master, don't be afraid, Bai Yi swears to protect his family to the death!" Bai Yi rarely took the initiative to speak.

Liu Qiao raised his head, looked at Uncle Li and Bai Yi in front of him, and smiled wryly, "It's my waywardness that hurt you."
