I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 69 Encountering Bandits

Li Yanran said with a sad expression: "When I go to Yangzhou, besides taking the women's science exam, the most important thing is to invite Mr. Bai Gongwang, a master of painting in the south of the Yangtze River, to see if he can unlock the secrets in the paintings."

Xu Le nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Li doesn't think that I can unlock the secrets contained in this painting, does she?"

"My lord is a man of great talent, and his attainments in poetry and melody are unfathomable, and the way of painting must have been further studied, so..." Li Yanran blinked, and looked at Xu Le expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

Xu Le shook his head and said: "Ms. Li is disappointed. I don't know anything about painting. It's okay for me to appreciate the pictures of erotic palaces. I really can't appreciate the pictures of dressing up."

After Xu Le finished speaking, both Li Yanran and Qiaoer blushed.

"Bah, shameless." Qiao'er spat, covered her hot cheeks and looked at Xu Le contemptuously.

Li Yanran's face was also blushing, she was extremely embarrassed, she never expected that Xu Le would be so vulgar, she had no scruples about saying erotic pictures in front of her two girls.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Xu Le rolled up the painting again and handed it back to Li Yanran.

Li Yanran nodded and said, "Young master, please go ahead."

Xu Le turned around and got off the carriage.

Qiaoer spat again at Xu Le's back, then turned to Li Yanran and said, "Miss, let me just say, he is a big gangster, a disciple, you still don't believe me."

"No, he definitely saw something in "Mirror Dressing Picture" just now." Li Yanran shook her head as she recalled Xu Le's reaction when she saw the contents of the painting just now.

Qiao'er opened her mouth wide, and said in disbelief, "Just him?"

"Qiao'er, that Xu Le is a man of great talent. You and I will walk with him all the way, and you must be polite to him, otherwise, I will not spare you." Li Yanran glanced at her, showing the air of a young lady, Seriously.

"Got it." Qiao'er pursed her mouth, sullenly.

Seeing Xu Le getting off the Li family's carriage, Liu Qingqing also got out of the carriage, came to Xu Le's side and asked, "My lord, that Miss Li called you, but what's the matter?"

Xu Le glanced at her and said with a smile, "Why do you suddenly care about this?"

Liu Qingqing shook her head, frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel restless, as if something unexpected is about to happen."

"Oh? How do you say?" Xu Le asked.

"Young master, please take a look."

Liu Qingqing took out a map, pointed to a road in the picture, and said to Xu Le: "This is the official road we are taking, we will go forward for about two hours, and we will arrive here."

Xu Le's expression became serious, and he looked at the place Liu Qingqing was pointing at.

It was a mountain depression with dense jungles on both sides, which was very suitable for ambushes.

"If we go any further, we will definitely have to pass through that mountain depression. If someone plots to do something wrong and arranges an ambush, we will be like turtles in a urn, with almost nowhere to escape."

As she spoke, Liu Qingqing turned her head to look at Xu Le, but unexpectedly the two were too close, her lips instantly made zero-distance contact with Xu Le's cheek.

Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and Xu Le was also stunned.

An awkward atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

"Well, cough." After all, Xu Le has a thick skin, coughed dryly, pretended nothing happened, nodded and said: "You are right, so in your opinion, what should I do?"

Liu Qingqing stuck out her pink tongue, licked her lips, looked at Xu Le and smiled, "Master, we have only two choices now, either detour or walk over."

"Detour?"

Xu Le didn't dare to look at Liu Qingqing's enchanting smile, but just stared at the map in front of him, and asked, "You mean, go to this mountain road ahead?"

"Yes, and, son, have you noticed? This is a shortcut. If we take the official road, it will take us at least seven or eight days to reach Yangzhou, but if we take this mountain road, it can save us at least three days."

Liu Qingqing kept staring at Xu Le, seeing that Xu Le still dared not look at her, she smiled even more seductively.

"The mountain road is rugged and densely covered with forests, making it even more dangerous." Xu Le suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, shook his head and said, "Let's take the official road first."

"Okay." Liu Qingqing nodded, put away the map, brushed Xu Le's chest with a slender hand as if inadvertently, turned and walked back to the carriage.

Xu Le shook his body, and couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. This goblin is really good at teasing people.

The sky was getting darker.

There were no more pedestrians on the road, and Xu Le and his party finally arrived at the col that Liu Qingqing had mentioned.

The forests on both sides of the official road are dense and silent, only the bright moon in the sky sprinkles the white moonlight, and the surrounding environment can barely be seen.

"stop."

Xu Le, who was walking in the front, suddenly reined in the horse and stopped.

As soon as the team stopped, Qiao'er in the carriage poked her head out and asked suspiciously, "Hey, why did you stop suddenly?"

Liu Qingqing and Chang Wei also came over and looked at Xu Le suspiciously.

"Qingqing, you are right." Xu Le licked his lips and sneered.

Liu Qingqing frowned: "Master...you mean?"

"That's right." As he spoke, Xu Le looked at Chang Wei and said solemnly, "Brother Chang, protect your young lady."

"Master Xu? What happened?" Chang Wei asked in confusion.

Xu Le mouthed an ambush towards him.

Chang Wei's complexion changed. Although he didn't know how Xu Le knew, but out of caution, he still patted his chest and said in a deep voice, "It's no problem, you guys should be careful too."

As he said that, he immediately rushed to the carriage where Li Yanran was, and became extremely vigilant.

Xu Le and Liu Qingqing looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Come out, the cat is in the woods, don't you feel bored?" Xu Le said suddenly, his voice was very clear in the silent night.

As soon as the voice fell, seven No. 80 people rushed out of the forest on both sides of the official road at the same time, surrounded Xu Le and others from four directions, front, back, left, and right, like an iron bucket, hard to fly with wings!

The costumes of this group of people are different, and the weapons they use are also different.

There are those with knives, swords, spears, axes, and even two kitchen knives in their hands.

But without exception, the faces of this group of people were full of murderous aura, and they looked at Xu Le and the others greedily, as if they were looking at fat sheep.

Bandit!

Xu Le and Liu Qingqing looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.

"Hey, that kid, leave everything on you, the woman next to you, by the way, and the two women in the carriage, you two men can go away."

Among a group of thieves, a guy who looked like the leader of the thieves walked out, looking at Xu Le with a grin on his face, he grinned his big yellow teeth, and his pair of thief eyes kept cruising back and forth on Liu Qingqing's body, his eyes shining lewdly .

Xu Le heard that, but his expression turned cold: "How do you know that there are two women in that carriage?"

"This... this..."

The bandit leader was taken aback for a moment, as if he couldn't think of any suitable reason, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and waved his hand: "You don't care how I know, since you insist on courting death, I will fulfill you, brothers, kill all the men, and kill all the women." Stay, I want a bridal chamber tonight!"

"kill!"

A group of bandits screamed and brandished various weapons to kill them.
