Chapter 185: Wealth is moving
When Li Yu and his entourage arrived at Sumagu, the sky was gray because of the heavy snowfall, and it looked like it was about to fall into the night.
"Let the horses run faster, we must cross the valley before unitary time, or we will have to spend the night on the cliffs. The people at the front of the line roared loudly against the wind and snow, but the sound seemed to be immediately swallowed up by the wind and snow.
"The torches are ready! The road ahead is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall. Someone rode back and forth and shouted.
Although Sumima Valley is a long and narrow canyon, they do not pass through the canyon, but follow the mountain, and there is a long winding mountain road.
This winding mountain road is actually quite spacious, but it is not steep, on weekdays, pedestrians, vehicles and horses trample this road very smoothly and compactly, such as the large carriage that Li Yu is riding can also easily pass, and the carriage with a smaller carriage can even be two in parallel.
But that's all in the snow.
Now it has been snowing heavily for several days, and the snow on the mountain road has just fallen and has not had time to melt before it has time to be trampled by pedestrians to form an ice field, and it is easy for people and horses to slip and fall down the cliff when walking on the icy mountain road. Fortunately, they were prepared, and as they went, they laid meadows on the difficult areas. Fortunately, it is only such a section of the road that is difficult to walk, and it will be much easier to walk after this winding mountain road.
Because the sky was dark and he was afraid of accidents, Cheng Yan asked everyone to light the torches, but he didn't want to go halfway but found that there was also a team of cars and horses burning torches not far in front of him. The two teams were on each other, and both sides were dumbfounded.
Usually this road is followed by horse teams or pony carriages, even if it is an oncoming person. It's also easy to get through with a little care. However, Li Yu's carriages are all specially customized, much larger than ordinary carriages, and take up a lot of space. In addition, the opposite side is also a team of chariots and horses, and it is more difficult for both sides to pass separately.
Cheng Yan sent someone to ask about the situation, it turned out that this was a caravan, and the car and the horse were carrying goods from the north, because the entry and exit of several nearby cities were very strict, they delayed for a month to finally get the road guide, and now they have to transport this batch of goods to the south before the year.
Cheng Yan also had a headache because the mountain road was narrow. Even if he asked the other party's carriage to turn around and go back, he couldn't turn around. Maybe everyone will be stuck in a mountain road overnight today. After thinking about it, in the end, they could only give the order to continue moving, while the other party's carriage and horses pulled aside and waited for them to go first.
Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and the people of the caravan did not dare to have any opinions after hearing it. Honestly, the carriage and horses stopped along the inside of the mountain road. I didn't want to, but something happened at this time.
One of the horses in Li Yu's convoy didn't know if he was hurt by the torches in the hands of the caravan, or why he suddenly neighed and started to go wild. Several horses around were affected and immediately became in a commotion, and the not spacious mountain road immediately became chaotic.
Cheng Yan had been walking beside Li Yu's carriage not far away, and when he heard the movement, he turned around and found that the crazy horse was behind the team. There was still a long distance away from Li Yu's carriage, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While instructing the people around him to continue to guard Li Yu's carriage, he rode back to check the situation.
At this time, there was a sudden neighing of a horse, followed by several loud noises, the crazy horse actually rolled down the cliff with the cart and the horse, and several horses around were even more panicked, Cheng Yan quickly arrived and grabbed the reins of a horse that was about to fall off the cliff with him, and several guards who followed also helped to calm the frightened horses.
"Huh, what's that?" someone exclaimed.
"It's silver! There's a lot of silver on the ground!"
"And gold!"
"It's in that carriage just now!"
......
The horses were pacified, but the crowd was in an uproar.
It turned out that the carriage had hit the mountain wall when it fell, and several boxes had fallen from the carriage, and some of the silver and gold in the boxes had been spilled on the side of the road.
Others don't know, but the people of the forbidden army know how rich this son is. When he first left Beijing, a person in the Criminal Prison Department was killed because of these belongings, and although Li Yuren was not good to serve along the way, he was very generous, and many people in the forbidden army benefited from him.
When the gold and silver were loaded in the carriage, everyone didn't dare to think about it on the surface, but now that the gold and silver fell under their feet, how many people could not help but be greedy? I don't know who first picked up a silver nude that rolled under his feet, and then the people who came back to their senses began to grope all over the ground, not only the people of the forbidden army, but also the people of the caravan who had honestly stood in front of the mountain wall before also rushed over to pick up the silver.
Seeing that the team was in chaos, Cheng Yan shouted: "Don't pick it up!
The people of the forbidden army were still worried when they heard Shangfeng's words, but the people of the caravan ignored them. I don't know who extinguished the torch in his hand, and the lighting without the torch immediately darkened the surroundings, and the visibility was low, but it was easy to hide himself. Seeing this, the people of the forbidden army followed to extinguish the torches in their hands, and then robbed the caravan with the people of the caravan.
"There's a golden bowl there!"
"There are also under the cliffs!"
Someone risked climbing to the edge of the mountain road to pick up silver, Cheng Yangang kicked one person away, and two more people jumped over, and they couldn't stop it.
There was such a big movement here, and the people who walked in front also noticed it, and I don't know who shouted, "Come and pick up the treasures! There are so many treasures falling on the ground!" The team in front also followed the commotion, and some people began to squeeze behind.
Li Yu's coachman, Gao Feng, said angrily: "What are you doing! Dare to rob my family's father's money!
It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as this sentence came out, more people began to squeeze back.
Gao Feng cursed loudly while driving the carriage to dodge, and everyone only had silver in their hearts, but no one paid attention to him.
Cheng Yan didn't care about the scrambling people when he heard the movement here, and immediately rushed to this side.
At this moment, someone took advantage of the chaos to stab the horse butt of the horse in front of Li Yu's car, and the horse began to run around in pain, overturning several people at once. Under the crowding, with Gao Feng's exclamation, Li Yu's luxurious carriage tumbled off the cliff.
Cheng Yan couldn't help but be startled when he saw it from afar, and he didn't care if he would hit someone, so he immediately rushed over, but where was the shadow of Li Yu's carriage?
"Shizi, Shizi's carriage has fallen......" someone shouted as he came back to his senses.
Cheng Yan looked at the bottom of the cliff in a daze, and the unknown person wanted to run back, Cheng Yan came back to his senses and kicked it violently, and four or five people were kicked off the cliff by his force, and they didn't even have time to exclaim.
Cheng Yan glanced at everyone with a gloomy face: "If the son of the world has three longs and two shorts, you won't have that life flower when you pick up the silver!"
In the middle of the wind and snow, Cheng Yan's voice was not too loud, but it strangely made everyone stop moving.
Cheng Yan said word by word: "After returning to Beijing, wait to be cut off by His Majesty!"
No matter what the emperor thought of Li Yu, the imperial order they received was to escort Li Yu to the East Ring Island safely, if Li Yu died because of them, even if it was to block the mouth of Youyou, they would have no way to live.
The people who had just been fascinated by money shuddered and came back to their senses, and the human head that rolled off between Ning Yi's swings of the knife flashed in front of their eyes when they left Beijing.
Cheng Yan glanced at everyone and said coldly: "Don't go down to find it yet!"
Now no one dared to fight for the silver that fell to the ground, and they all rushed down the cliff to find Li Yu's whereabouts.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Gao Feng's voice to come from below: "We are here, the carriage is stuck by a tree root!
Cheng Yan immediately climbed down to check the situation, it turned out that the luxury carriage was stuck between the two big tree roots because it was too big and did not fall, and there seemed to be a platform below, the snow was very thick, and the wheels of the carriage were all trapped in the snow, and there was no danger of falling.
Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "What about the prince?"
Cheng Yan's arm was cut by a branch, and he said while covering the wound and inhaling, "It's okay, I've seen it." Shizi said that he just bumped his head just now, and he was a little dizzy, but he was fine. Tell someone to pull the wagon up with a rope. ”
Cheng Yan didn't take immediate action after hearing this, he approached the carriage and asked, "Shizi, are you inside, are you injured?"
There was no movement in the carriage.
Cheng Yan frowned: "Shizi?"
Seeing that no one answered, Cheng Yan wanted to open the car door to check, but Gao Feng stopped him: "Eh! What are you doing!" Shizi is still sick, and he just hit his head again and is dizzy, it can be seen that there is no wind!"
Cheng Yan ignored Gao Feng and waved Gao Feng's hand away, Gao Feng continued to block, and Cheng Yan started to attack without saying a word.
At this time, a weak but angry voice came from the carriage: "Stop!"
Cheng Yan immediately stopped when he heard this voice, and was slapped on the head by Gao Feng, but Cheng Yan didn't care, because he heard that it was Li Yu's voice in the carriage, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shizi, are you injured?"
Li Yu said impatiently: "I'm fine! Don't let someone pull the carriage up quickly!"
Cheng Yan won't be able to say a word, so he will climb up and call someone.
After some tossing, Li Yu's carriage was finally pulled up, and it was really dark at this time.
Cheng Yan wanted the doctor to show Li Yu, but was rejected by Li Yu, who was in a bad mood. Cheng Yan felt that Li Yu's temper was a bit big today, but whoever just walked around the ghost gate would not have a good temper, so he didn't care.
The carriage full of gold and silver that fell before was not as lucky as Li Yu's carriage, the carriage really fell off the cliff, Cheng Yan sent someone down to find it, and in the end only a few boxes were brought back.
Cheng Yan said: "I will let them take out the silver they robbed." ”
Li Yu didn't speak, Gao Feng waved his hand indifferently: "Forget it, forget it, everyone has worked hard today, those should be rewarded by the prince, our prince doesn't care about these things outside the body." (To be continued.) )
