Chapter 022: Night Attack on Kunshan
The sky gradually darkened, and after a day of rapid marching, Shen Linfeng and the others had already arrived at the foot of Fengkun Mountain.
"Stopped" at the front of the line, a guard on a black steed raised his arm and shouted. Everyone immediately reined in the reins of their horses. The guard's name was Shen Feng, and he looked to be about thirty years old. He is Shen Linfeng's personal bodyguard, and he is also a junior Kuite.
"Huh~" Shen Feng glanced up at the sun, looked around again, then pulled the reins to the side, and shouted softly. Under Shen Feng's command, the black horse galloped backwards.
Shen Feng stopped in front of Shen Linfeng's car, Shen Lingfeng was also a little puzzled at this time, and was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car to find out. Seeing Shen Feng coming towards him, he asked suspiciously, "Feng'er, is there something going on ahead?"
"Back to the master, no" Shen Feng dismounted and replied.
"It's just that it's getting late, and further on is Fengkun Mountain, and my subordinates suggest that we camp here overnight and enter the mountain early tomorrow morning," Shen Feng continued.
"Hmm" Shen Linfeng paused slightly, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and replied. Then he lowered the curtain and sat back.
This Shen Feng is really not an ordinary family guard, and he is not an ordinary master-servant relationship with Shen Linfeng. Shen Feng was Shen Linfeng's personal guard when he joined the army. Although he doesn't usually talk much, he is very capable and extremely heartfelt. Otherwise, he would not have been appreciated by Shen Linfeng.
The two have known each other for more than ten years, and Shen Linfeng has great trust in Shen Feng's character and ability. If it is said that the mysterious old Mr. Xu is the second-in-command of the Shen Mansion, then Shen Feng's status will not be much lower than that of Old Xu.
Shen Feng has never been a person who catches the wind and shadows, since he has said so, there must be a reason for him, Shen Linfeng didn't say much, although he was very anxious in his heart, he couldn't wait to go into the mountain immediately to get Kong Ling's eggs, but Shen Linfeng is not a reckless person, he joined the army earlier and later walked alone on the mainland, which still had a great impact on Shen Linfeng, and experienced various things, which also made Shen Linfeng extremely resolute and heavy.
Due to the sudden sudden braking of the carriage, it was originally sleeping on a cloudy sky with its back against a large wooden box. Because he didn't have time to react, his head hit the car directly.
"Hey, hey, hiss..." Now Yuntian was completely awake, rubbing his head with his hands, grinning and muttering. Although after such a collision, the body was completely awake, but the head was still in a state of confusion. I didn't wake up for a while, I looked left and right, gently opened the curtains, and looked out, only then did I suddenly react.
"Wake up, Zixiu, wake up..." At this time, Yuntian was completely awake, shaking Zixiu who was still asleep on the side.
"Hmm... What's wrong?' Zi Xiu said slowly with sleepy eyes.
"The car is stopped," Yun Tian whispered, his voice sounding a little anxious.
"What car, what's wrong?" Zixiu squinted his eyes and muttered indistinctly.
"What...... The car stopped" Zixiu was still slowly recovering from his senses, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he sat up suddenly, and shouted in a low voice.
"I vaguely heard it just now, it seems that I'm going to camp here" Yun Tian said a little casually as if he was thinking about something.
"It's broken" Yun Tian seemed to suddenly think of something, and there was a hint of panic in his voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's get into the box quickly," Yun Tian suddenly got up and said
"Drill the box, what's ......" Zixiu was a little overwhelmed by Yun Tian's startled move, although he didn't know what was going on, he was also nervous. Pulling Yuntian's sleeve, he asked nervously.
"What do you think, camp, spend the night, what's missing?" Yun Tian rolled his eyes and said helplessly. The eldest young master who just woke up from sleep has woken up with his body, but his brain hasn't woken up yet.
"Set up camp...... Eat" Zixiu rolled his eyes from side to side, looked at the surrounding furnishings again, and suddenly remembered why he drilled the box in the first place.
"You can be regarded as having reacted," Yun Tian nodded helplessly
"Before it is discovered, hurry up and go in, hurry up" Yun Tian urged on the side, and as he spoke, a burst of footsteps came from far and near, slowly walking in the direction of the car......
Just as Yuntian closed the wooden box, the car door opened. Two guard-like people appeared outside the car, only to see the two of them frowning, looking into the car very suspiciously, the two looked at each other, but neither of them saw a trace of results from each other's faces.
"Hey, Xu Shan, how can this thing ?...... It's outside," one of the smaller guards asked, puzzled.
"Yes, why are they all outside, I remember very clearly, these pots and pans were in that big box at that time, and I double-checked it several times before leaving," said the other guard, scratching his scalp, a little puzzled.
"No, I'll have to go up and have a look," said the smaller guard, who had already boarded the carriage with one leg as he spoke.
"Oh, don't worry about it so much, anyway, there is no shortage of things, hurry up and move things over, you should lose your temper when you are rubbing Xu Lao, you also know that Xu Lao's face has not been very good-looking recently" Another guard grabbed him and said in a low voice.
The thin guard listened to him, looked at the large wooden box again, and nodded thoughtfully. The two of them began to work one on the other, and after a while, everything was removed, and only the big wooden box was left in the car.
There was a moment of silence around them, so quiet that only two thumping heartbeats could be heard.
After the thrilling scene just now, Yun Tian's hearts were already in their throats, and they could hear the conversation of the two guards outside clearly, and they didn't even dare to breathe or move. They have only one thought in their minds, 'This is the end.'"
It wasn't until the two guards left in the end, and it took a long time for Yuntian and the two of them to let down the hearts that had been hanging.
"Those two should go away," Yun Tian said in a low voice.
"It should be, why don't you open the lid and take a look?" I almost suffocated," Zixiu said sweating profusely.
"Hmm" Yun Tian nodded, and very carefully opened a small slit on the top of the lid, looking along the gap, there was nothing around. Yun Tian put his mind at ease, slowly opened the lid, and the two crept out of the box again.
"It was really thrilling just now," Zixiu took a deep breath and said with some fear. The space was much larger than just now, and Zixiu twisted his neck left and right, stretching his body on the side.
But he didn't hear any response, so he looked in the direction of Yuntian with some curiosity. I saw Yun Tianzheng looking out intently, as if he hadn't heard Zixiu speak at all.
"Yuntian, what are you looking at?" As he spoke, Zixiu had already come to Yuntian's side.
Yun Tian made a 'don't make a sound' gesture, but his eyes still stayed outside, as if he was looking for something.
"Are you hungry?" Yun Tian turned back to Zi Xiudao, a 'sly' smile leaking from the corner of his mouth.
Originally, I didn't feel anything about it, but after Yun Tian said this, I really felt a little hungry. Since I got into the box in the early morning, I haven't touched a drop of water until now, let alone eat.
"When you say that, you're really a little hungry," Zixiu said as he rubbed his stomach. Yun Tian immediately smiled, and his eyes picked outward. Zixiu followed Yuntian's gaze and looked out.
The guards were eating around a fire with cooking utensils taken from the cart and whole roast suckling pigs. Watch the guards eat and drink like they gobble. Zixiu's harazi is about to flow out.
"I didn't expect that my dignified young master of the Nan family would also have times when he was hungry" Zixiu swallowed his saliva and muttered in a low voice, never leaving the fragrant roast suckling pig.
"Hmph, if you want to eat, you have to get it yourself, and the food won't come to the door by yourself," Yuntian said with a wicked smile.
"Go get it, you're crazy......" Zi Xiu turned his head and said with a surprised expression, but when he saw the evil smile on Yun Tian's cheeks, he suddenly had a premonition that he didn't want to.
"What bad idea are you playing again? Could it be that you really want to go down and grab it with a swagger," Zi Xiu's eyes widened and he said in a tone of disbelief.
"What do you mean by robbing, let's go get it" Yun Tian said lightly, the meaning between the words was as if it was his own home outside, and he could do whatever he wanted.
"You're crazy......"
"Don't worry, listen to me first," Yun Tian interrupted Zi Xiu and said.
"You take a closer look outside, those guards around the fire, it's impossible for us to get close, but you are looking over there" Yun Tian pointed to the other side, on the periphery of the entire soldier gathering place, there were several guards cooking in the darker places.
"We can't do it guards, but we can do it there," Yun Tian said with a smile, Yan Ran was a veteran who had been out all year round.
"We can wait for them to get something to eat when they're not prepared."
"Oh, this can be a try" After listening to Yuntian's analysis, it seems to make some sense.
Like two hungry beasts staring at their prey, motionless and staring intently. I waited quietly in the car for about a quarter of an hour.
Finally, even the guards who were cooking began to eat, and Yun Tian and the two tiptoed out of the car, carefully detouring behind the back of the cooking soldiers.
"You wait here, I'll get it, the goal of the two people is too big" Yun Tian approached Zixiu and whispered.
"Well, hey, by the way, remember to take that big leg of lamb," Zixiu instructed repeatedly. At the beginning of the fight, Zixiu set his eyes on the big leg of mutton that was ten pounds.
Yuntan leaned over his waist and cautiously approached the food little by little. At this moment, the guards who were cooking were also munching on their food, not noticing any changes in the rear at all.
Yuntian didn't have the slightest softness, as long as he could take it, he took it all, and he didn't forget to hold a big chicken leg in his mouth when he left.
The two of them found a relatively remote place and began to devour like two beasts that had not eaten for a century.
Just as the two were eating, the sound of galloping horses' hooves came from not far away, and the guards also noticed this sudden change, and their expressions instantly changed from serious. Gripping the weapon in his hand.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, it can be vaguely seen that there are about two people, galloping in the direction of the camp. As they spoke, the two men had already arrived in front of the camp.
"Shen Mansion urgently reports ......," one of the figures shouted loudly. Hearing this, the guards relaxed their vigilance.
"It turned out to be the family of the Shen Mansion" Zixiu held the big leg of mutton in both hands and muttered with a greasy mouth.
"Shen Mansion Family, it's such a time, these two family members must have something urgent, otherwise they can't be in such a hurry," Yun Tian whispered with some confusion on his cheeks.
I saw one of the guards hurriedly jumping off the horse before the horse stopped, and walked quickly towards Shen Linfeng's tent.
"What's wrong, panic like this" The speaker was Xu Lao, and asked with a displeased face. Before the guard arrived at Shen Linfeng's tent, he was intercepted by Old Xu, who heard the sound.
"Old Xu, it's Miss Qing'er......" The guard replied breathlessly, just spit out a few words, looked left and right, and stopped talking.
"Miss Qing'er, what's wrong with Miss Qing'er?" asked Xu Lao sharply. Xu Lao was also slightly shocked when he heard the word Qing'er, and his face instantly became even more ugly than before.
"Come in with me" Xu Lao's face turned pale, and then he gently spit out a few words. The two walked into Shen Linfeng's tent one after the other.
"What could it be?"
"I think I heard that guard mention Miss Qing'er just now," Yun Tian said.
"Miss Qing'er, what can happen to Qing'er?" Zixiu was also a little confused.
"No matter what it is, I don't think it's a good thing anyway......" Yun Tian frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something, but he was not sure.
Just as the two of them were thinking wildly, a person came out of Shen Linfeng's tent, it was Xu Lao, who had just entered.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Lao, at this moment, everyone knew that something was wrong, but no one knew what happened.
Judging from Xu Lao's expression, it is not a good thing.
Xu Lao stood in place, paused and said a word.
"Pack your things and go into the ......"
