Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 115 Yongping Mountain

The speed of the carriage was much slower than expected by the driver. Jiang Wu ignored Li Chenghua, who was riding the horse, and just raised the warm curtain to look at the environment outside the window. Even though there was snow on the official road, the road was in order to welcome the holy driver. Still flat.Jiang Wu recalled the map she had studied when she went out, and she pointed to the forked road on the left in front with her plain hand, and said, "Let's go there instead of the official road."

Hearing this, Li Chenghua felt that the phrase "Only women and villains are difficult to raise" was true.

"Ma'am, the official road is safe and flat, suitable for traveling, besides, you are not in good health and cannot withstand the bumps..."

"I said take the path and go around Yongping Mountain, do you have an opinion?"

Jiang Wu spoke slowly and raised her eyebrows to look at him.

Li Chenghua only felt oppressed, as if disobeying Jiang Wu's orders was a great crime, but also felt that her deterrence and courage made him unable to say no, so he could only answer yes with a bitter face.

Jiang Wu put down the car curtain, lay down on the soft pillow, and asked in a low voice when she heard the rain: "Madam, why don't we follow the official path?"

Jiang Wu closed her eyes and said, "You don't want me to be caught and sent back to Kyoto, do you?"

Ting Yu's pretty face suddenly turned red.Quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "Madam is serious, how dare the servant girl!"

"You don't dare, but it doesn't mean you don't want to." Jiang Wu said slowly and lazily: "Ting Yu, although you and I have not been together for a long time, I understand your heart and trust you. So there is no need to hide these words I am worried about Lord Hou's safety, and it is inevitable to go to his side."

"But madam, you yourself are heavy and still uncomfortable. Even if you are beside Lord Hou, how can you protect him?"

"It has nothing to do with whether I can do it or not, but whether I can do it or not." Jiang Wu opened her eyes, looked at Ting Yu seriously and said, "If I don't come, I'm afraid I will be worried every day. If I was really injured, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life. Since it will be painful, I might as well seize the present. If I let the carriage continue to follow the official path, you said that Lord Hou’s temper will allow me to pass through Yongping Pass smoothly. Is it? Even the guards Li rushed over to intercept them. Yongping is the servant of your Marquis, and you haven’t set up a battle to escort me back to the capital. I can’t kill them one by one. Obediently?"

"Master Hou is also doing it for the good of Madam."

"I know." Jiang Wu said: "If he wasn't really for me, it wouldn't be worth my trip. Let's take a detour to Yongping Mountain, and if we don't take the right path, it won't be easy to be caught back."

Ting Yu also had to agree with what Jiang Wu said, if Jiang Wu was not pregnant, he would be the first to stand up and support Jiang Wu to go out to find a husband.The objection now is only because of Jiang Wu's physical inconvenience.

The master and servant had nothing else to say, and the carriage got off the official road according to Jiang Wu's order not long after, and went to Yongping Mountain on the side.

When the sky was bright, the carriage first walked a narrow section of the canyon road, and then saw the front suddenly opened up.

In the narrow valley, there are rows of shops lined up on both sides, the road surface is also very flat and spacious, and the snow has been swept away.

Jiang Wu once looked at the local map and knew that there was a Yongping Town at Yongping Pass, but she didn't know that there was such a bustling town in the valley of Yongping Mountain.

The coachman had already driven all night, and he was tired and hungry, so Jiang Wu ordered to stop, and first chose a small restaurant on the side of the road to eat.

The dishes are not very delicate, but they are delicious.

Jiang Wu endured the nausea of ​​morning sickness and ate a small bowl of porridge and half a steamed stuffed bun.It was funny to watch Li Chenghua gobble it up with frowning brows and a face full of unwillingness.Can't help joking: "Since I come, I will be safe. You are escorting me to see Lord Hou, and you are not violating Lord Hou's orders."

A little girl can't handle it, but she can't say it, and she can't take it back. Li Chenghua is already aggrieved enough, how can he listen to sarcastic remarks?Immediately, he took a big bite of the meat bun and turned his eyes away from Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing again.

After eating, Jiang Wu ordered her followers to buy some snacks and steamed buns on the road, and stocked up on water, before boarding the car and setting off.I just asked about the way, as long as I go straight along this road, I can see the exit of the valley.

Jiang Wu couldn't help but think, if she has spare time, she must find a way to develop a checkpoint fee here. The sales and transactions between the Kingdom of Jin and the capital, no matter what business is done, the delivery of goods must go through this It's better to go to this valley if you take the official road and check it strictly.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps chasing from behind.

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows and listened carefully, she knew that there were about 30 people coming.

"Stop." Outside the carriage, Li Chenghua guarded Jiang Wu's carriage with a stern expression.

Jiang Wu raised the warm curtain, and saw more than 30 strong men holding sticks, slowly blocking the way of the carriage, and surrounded them with two carriages, while the common people on the side of the road seemed to be Get used to it and ignore it.

Li Chenghua didn't expect that Jiang Wu would dare to show his face, so he hurriedly covered the curtain of the car, cupped his hands and said, "What are you doing?"

The man in the lead seemed to be in his early forties, wearing a khaki padded jacket that was old and not old, with half a piece of animal skin wrapped around his waist, dressed like a hunter.Pointing at Li Chenghua with a fire stick in his hand: "Who are you waiting for! Why did you come to Yongping Mountain!"

Jiang Wu in the carriage blinked when she heard the words, and suddenly found it interesting.This person's tone is not like that of an ordinary person, but rather like a grass bandit occupying the mountain as king, and Yongping Mountain is like a copycat.

Li Chenghua frowned, and naturally felt that something was wrong.He had never walked this road, and of course he didn't know that there would be bandits here. They were short of manpower, and even if he had all-powerful abilities, he might not be able to protect Jiang Wu's integrity, so he considered his words with a smile: "I will take my family to Visiting relatives, passing by here. I wonder what this uncle is doing?"

"Bah! Fart! You are clearly wearing a military uniform! You are a running dog of the imperial court!"

When the leading man roared, the [-] surrounding men waved their sticks and roared as well.It looks like an enemy of the court.

Li Chenghua's forehead was sweating. If he was alone, it would be easy to get away from this mob.But the problem is that there is a weak woman beside her who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and this woman is still a pregnant woman, who cannot be touched, moved, or frightened. If Jiang Wu has something, will his head still be there?

In a dilemma, Li Chenghua forced himself to ask calmly: "What do you want?"

"How? Since you have thrown yourself into the trap, you can't say so much. I have to take you to meet our Dazhai Lord! Let the people in the car get down and follow us!"

As soon as the words fell, the group of people rushed forward, urging everyone in the carriage to get off.

Jiang Wu winked at the two accompanying guards, not allowing them to act rashly.Doctor Zhou was invited by Jiang Wu with a lot of money, where has he seen such a battle?Immediately, his frightened face changed.

Jiang Wu put the Avalokitesvara on her pocket, covered most of her face, and followed the group of bandits with her head down. Ting Yu and Li Chenghua naturally stood by her side. Doctor Zhou followed, followed by the coachman and guards .

A group of people bypassed the village of Pingpingren, stepped on the snow on the mountain road, and walked a gentle slope for a while, and saw a wooden manor from a distance, which really looked like a cottage.

Jiang Wu looked around curiously. She had suppressed bandits in her previous life, but the bandits back then were obviously completely different from the bandits now.She was really curious about what the ancient bandits looked like.

Jiang Wu was calm and relaxed, with a happy smile on her face, which really made the eyes of the bandits who escorted them around him straighten.

One was that they had never seen such a beautiful woman in such rich clothes.The second is that I have never seen such a bold woman who is so calm after being robbed by bandits.

Ting Yu and Li Chenghua paid attention to the movement around them vigilantly, followed Jiang Wu, and soon entered the cottage and came to the main hall.

All the furniture and furnishings in the main hall are made of ordinary black lacquered wood, and there is a brazier in the middle of the floor, with charcoal burning inside, and the warmth radiates from it.Looking forward, I saw a half-new black lacquered official hat chair in the middle, with a piece of animal skin on it, and a wooden screen made by pulling the animal skin behind the chair.

Several men in cotton or leather jackets came out from behind the screen.

%
At the same time, there was a group of people rushing from Yongping pass to Yongping cottage at full speed.

The thirty or so people in the lead were all dressed in the black brocade padded jackets worn by Jin Yiwei in winter, with embroidered spring knives slanted across their waists, and more than a hundred infantrymen behind were panting and trotting from a distance.

The guard at Yongping Pass was riding a horse, anxiously following a thousand households led by Jin Yiwei.

That Qianhu asked: "You really didn't see Madam's carriage passing by? Didn't you let her go there specially?"

"How dare I lie to you, my lord? Could it be that I am impatient? Who dares to stop Jin Yiwei from doing business?"

Qianhu nodded when he heard the words, "That's the reason. I said, why do you work as errands? You don't know how to suppress bandits when you have a stronghold on Yongping Mountain?"

"My lord doesn't know, these unscrupulous people; they occupy the mountains as kings on weekdays, and collect customs clearance fees from merchants who do business or bring prohibited items privately, but as soon as we plan to suppress bandits, they will immediately become ordinary ordinary people. You I also know that it was Commander Huo and the emperor who agreed to build two checkpoints between Jinzhou and Kyoto. Our Yongping Pass has been built, but it is inconvenient for merchants to carry anything. Now, here goes to Kyoto, and there is also the valley in the middle of Yongping Mountain. After a long time, not only the people in the town have moved there, but also the cottage has been built like that."

"You don't need to explain so much now. If Madam really has something wrong on Yongping Mountain, you and I won't be able to keep our heads."

"However, there are more than 1000 people in the cottage. With these people, we probably have little chance of winning. Why don't we wait for the army to arrive?"

Qianhu sneered: "Wait? Then what should I do if my wife is in danger during this period? I can tell you, you are also clear about the commander's temper. If we go at this moment, if we die, at least the family members can still get pensions. If we Greed for life and fear of death will cause any trouble to Madam, we can just wait for the whole family to be unlucky together!"

Everyone shuddered when they heard the words, neighed their horses one after another, and headed towards Yongping Mountain at an even faster speed.
