Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 267 Preparation (8)
Zheng Jinxiao let out a long sigh, "It's not that I thought too much about it. It's just that Brother Li meant to move to Sichuan. Half of the aristocratic families in Phoenix City migrated with us. Those who ate and slept on the road also died. Many people have come here, but they still don't see Brother Li, which will inevitably make people feel uneasy. You know, if Brother Li didn't come, what would we do with this group of people? Are we all going to die here? Can't do it in the wild?" He paused, and then said, "There are already many people who are dissatisfied, and you have seen it..." He pointed to the place where Zheng's father talked with several elders, "A few days ago, we all I’m still being polite, but now I’ve started pointing fingers and even complaining directly. Dad and I can’t stop it. Sigh, I don’t know what’s going on with brother Li? Can you come here?”

Although Zheng Ruo was worried, but because of her experience in her previous life, she smiled and comforted her: "Brother, don't worry, this Shu land will definitely belong to Brother Li in the future."

Zheng Jinxiao gave her a strange look, "Little sister, why are you so sure?"

Zheng Ruo smiled, but did not answer.

After eating and resting for two hours, the team started to move forward again.However, complaints can be heard everywhere.

Lin Sanniang also asked with some concern: "Little sister, what should we do if General Li really can't join us?" Her face was blank, and she had an instinctive fear of the unknown future.

Zheng Ruo smiled and said: "Sister, let alone whether what you worry about will be realized. In this situation, there is no way out. No matter what, we have to go forward, even if we wait in Shuzhong, we have to wait until Brother Li arrival."

In a word, Lin Sanniang's eyes lit up when she said it, as if she could see the blue sky through the clouds and mists.

"What my little sister said is true. Since the moment we left Phoenix City and came to Sichuan, we have no way out. We can only believe that General Li will come to Sichuan as he said before."

"Sister, don't worry, I swear to God here, Brother Li will come no matter what."

Lin Sanniang said narrowly, "That's true. General Li is your fiancé-in-law, so you naturally think so."

Zheng Ruo's face became a little unnatural, "Don't talk nonsense, sister, the relationship between me and him is not what you think."

"Which one is it?" Lin Sanniang joked.

Seeing this, Liu Xu immediately stepped forward and interrupted, asking, "Girl, are you thirsty? Would you like some tea?"

Zheng Ruo looked at her gratefully, and nodded hurriedly.Lin Sanniang thought she was thin-skinned, so she stopped teasing her, took the tea from Liu Xu's hand and drank it slowly.Although fleeing, these gentry are still very particular, and the skill of making tea with catkins has not fallen much.

Talking and laughing along the way, after walking for about three hours, Zheng Jinxiao came over and said that she would rest here tonight.

Zheng Ruo, Lin Sanniang and Liu Xu got out of the carriage together.This is a mountain depression that can block the increasingly cold night wind.The servants were already busy coming and going, those who lit the fire, those who fetched water, those who prepared food, all in a hurry.

By the time I had dinner and could go to sleep, the moon was already in the sky.Tired for a day, and walked the mountain road for more than [-] days, this group of gentry no longer had the initial interest, and they wanted to hold a banquet outside the mountains.They went to bed early.

In the wild, there will be the howling of wolves from far and near, and there are also unknown bugs cheering around.

Tonight, Zheng Ruo couldn't sleep for some reason.

In the middle of the night, she felt drowsy and drowsy, but heard a noisy sound intermittently.Like the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, she woke up suddenly, and turned over and sat up in a jerk.But seeing Liu Xu was still asleep, when she suspected that she was worrying too much.A voice whispered outside: "Girl, we may have encountered bandits. Listening to the voice, there are quite a few of them. Later, you can stay in the carriage and don't come out no matter what."

Zheng Ruo recognized this voice, it was one of Li Yun's lieutenants, and he led the team of five hundred elite soldiers.

"Why, is it more difficult this time than before?" She asked in a low voice.

The man outside pondered for a moment, then said, "Listen to the voice, they have many horses."

Zheng Ruo knew that horses were a rarity. Since the other party had many horses, it was most likely that the barbarians came after them.When she thought about it, the expression on her face immediately became serious.I heard the deputy general outside say: "Girl, don't worry too much. Although they have a lot of horses, there are more rugged mountain roads here, and here is a mountain depression, which is not good for horse riders. Let's deal with it carefully. It may not be possible to drive them away."

"Then you must be careful."

"Thank you girl for caring."

The lieutenant left after speaking.

Zheng Ru was completely out of sleep at this time, and everyone who was resting in the mountain depression was awakened. Hearing that perhaps it was the barbarians who were chasing them, they dared not show their spirits.Lin Sanniang also came to Zheng Ruo's side, holding a long sword in her hand.Zheng Ruo also dug out the iron-cut dagger from the treasure chest and held it tightly in his hand.It was Liu Xu who also held a hairpin in his hand and looked outside vigilantly.

Zheng Ruo has never been like this for a moment, feeling that the time is so hard to bear, and the long time seems to have no end.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance, and I could still see little lights flickering in the forest.Zheng Ruo panicked when he saw it.The number of visitors seems to be quite large, so is life going to be buried here tonight?
After a while, the fires became brighter and brighter, and stopped at the mouth of the mountain.At first I heard the sound of fighting, but it was only for a moment, and then there was no sound.

Zheng Ruo was a little desperate, the opponent was so powerful, the lieutenant was captured after only resisting for a while?

When I was worried in my heart, I heard footsteps coming from outside.The curtain of the car was lifted with a bang, and the flames shone in, illuminating Zheng Ruo's eyebrows and eyes.She couldn't adapt to the sudden light, and her eyes closed involuntarily.

"Ah Ruo...Ah Ruo, Brother Li is here, Brother Li is here!" Zheng Jinxiao's face was filled with joy, "Ah Ruo, come out quickly, come out quickly. General Li is finally here!"
