Chapter 117: Intensifying
Erjiu raised his hand and made a few gestures, and several guards immediately surrounded him, and the carriage guarding in the middle also stopped.
Xiao Yu opened the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Erjiu led the team on a stubble road, deviated from the direction of returning to Beijing, and turned back when he heard the words: "Don't worry about Doctor Feng, let's go another way." ”
Xiao Yu was puzzled, but Erjiu didn't explain anymore, just led the team quickly towards the path shaded by the trees.
Cao Rui saw that the group had avoided them, played with the dagger in his hand, and sneered disdainfully.
"It's boring, I thought I could compete."
Banxia helped Miss Jian Liu into the carriage, turned her head to see Cao Rui, and walked over and said, "What are you talking to yourself here?" Our girl is packed up and ready to go. ”
Cao Rui smiled: "It's nothing, I could have given your girl's rival in love some problems." ”
"Feng Zhaoyu? Where is it? Banxia frowned.
Cao Rui put the dagger back into the scabbard in the boot and said, "When you are a girl who is a flood beast, you will run away at a glance." ”
Banxia didn't like it very much, and glared at him: "You are the flood beast." So saying, he ran to the carriage and climbed up.
Cao Rui also summoned his guards and escorted Miss Jian Liu's carriage to the capital.
Erjiu ran for a while with the people before he walked to the side of the carriage and explained to Xiao Yu: "I didn't expect that it was Cao Rui, the guard next to Princess Yuan, who escorted Miss Jian Liu. This person is ruthless and has always been reckless in doing things, which is very difficult to deal with. We staggered the road with them, so that we didn't have to deal with his tricks on the way. ”
Xiao Yu nodded. On the way from Huai to the capital, Xie Jingxiu had dealt with a group of traitors, so he had long expected the intricate division of forces within the Yuan Palace.
Some people dare to take action against Xie Jingxiu, and it is not surprising that they will want to deal with him.
"I have walked this road before, and it is farther than the road back to Beijing, and it will be delayed for half a day at most." Erjiu said while picking up the branches and leaves hanging down from the side of the road.
"It's okay, you can arrange it." Xiao Yudao, "It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later." ”
Cao Rui's task was to escort Miss Jian Liu back to Beijing safely, so he hurried along the way and hurried forward all the time.
Miss Jian Liu sat in the car, firmly grasping the wooden pole on the wall of the carriage with both hands, but she was still unable to sit firmly, and her face was pale.
Banxia was slightly better than Miss Jian Liu, barely able to hold on, and held up the teapot with one arm, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her girl.
Miss Jian Liu pushed her away, her face changed, she covered her mouth and said urgently: "Hurry, stop quickly." ”
Banxia hurriedly poked his head out and called Cao Rui.
"Lord Cao, stop quickly, our girl is not feeling well!"
Cao Rui turned around on the horse: "Huh? You girls are not feeling well? Is there a danger to life? ”
Banxia said angrily: "Our girl is in good health, who are you cursing?!" ”
Cao Rui grinned: "Since your body is fine, if there is any discomfort, bear with it first." The princess asked me to ensure the safety of Miss Jian Liu, and that my subordinates must put the task first. ”
Banxia Qi Knot: "You! Anyway, stop the car, our girl is very uncomfortable! ”
Cao Rui shook his head: "Forgive me." Instead, he pulled the reins and ran faster.
Banxia was thrown back into the car at once, Miss Jian Liu had already heard the words of the two of them clearly through the curtain, and her stomach was churning, Miss Jian Liu couldn't care about anything else, so she casually took a teapot and poured the water out, and vomited at the mouth of the pot.
Cao Rui heard the movement in the car and smiled: "That's right, if you can, you can do it, where do you come from so poor." ”
Miss Jian Liu vomited a few times, and instantly a peculiar smell filled the carriage.
The curtain was blown by the wind, Miss Jian Liu's eyes widened, and she said in a dumb voice: "Press the curtain tightly!" ”
Banxia hurriedly climbed to the door of the car and pulled the curtain to prevent it from flying.
This is just to keep the smell from the car from getting outside.
Miss Jian Liu has grown so big, and she has never been so wolfy. Even if she went to the village for medical treatment in the past, she would always be dressed in a beautiful garment and covered her face with a long veil, even if she put down her figure, she would always be unattainable.
Otherwise, she's just a doctor.
There are also several medical women in the capital, they are benevolent and have excellent medical skills, but what is the result? From the cardamom years to gray hair, the best thing is to marry a doctor, and still spend your whole life in a small hospital.
She needs the most perfect appearance and appearance, and she needs everyone to look up to her and praise her when they see her. Absolutely no one should be allowed to see her wolf side.
Miss Jian Liu's face was pale, her thin lips moved, and she was about to give Banxia an order, but the carriage suddenly shook and jerked to the side.
The coachman outside pulled the reins and dragged the horse back to the right path, and said busily: "The wheel just ran over the stone, are you okay, miss?" ”
The car was quiet for a moment, and the next moment suddenly burst into a sharp cry, and in the middle of the call, it suddenly disappeared like a duck that had been choked by the neck.
Cao Rui leaned to the side of the car: "What's wrong?" What happened? Miss Jian Liu is okay, right? "After that, the curtain will be lifted.
"Don't lift it!" Miss Jian Liu's sharp voice came from the car, with a slight trembling hint of imperceptible.
There was silence in the car for a moment, and Miss Jian Liu resumed her calm voice and said, "There is nothing in the car, Master Cao should hurry as much as possible." ”
There was a strange sour smell coming from the car, which dispersed in all directions along the wind. Cao Rui wrinkled his nose, didn't ask any more questions, and ran to the front on horseback.
His task is to bring Miss Jian Liu's whole beard and tail back to Princess Yuan, and the rest, take care of him.
When Cao Rui and his party were about to rush to the vicinity of the city gate, Xiao Yu and the others encountered a group of unexpected people in the forest.
"Aunt Hu?" Xiao Yu saw the people outside from the window of the carriage, and hurriedly opened the curtain and poked his head out, "Aunt Hu, why are so many of you gathered here?" ”
"Concubine Shizi, it turned out to be you!"
As soon as Aunt Hu saw Xiao Yu's face, her originally trembling expression immediately relaxed, and she walked towards Xiao Yu's carriage in a few steps, but was stopped in front of her by Erjiu.
Xiao Yu jumped out of the carriage and walked to Erjiu's side.
"He is the guard who protects me, Aunt Hu is not strange. What the hell is going on? ”
Aunt Hu didn't mind Erjiu's attitude, and she slapped her thigh and complained bitterly: "The princess and concubine, it's terrible!" It's going to be messy! The old man asked me to take half of the village to hide in the mountains first, and now I don't know how he talked to those people. ”
Xiao Yu's heart tightened, he and Erjiu glanced at each other, frowned, and said, "What happened, Aunt Hu, you say it slowly." ”
Mrs. Hu scolded the heavens and the earth, and explained the origin of the group of people who blocked the entrance of the village in the morning.
It turned out that there were three large villages that initially participated in the smashing of Guang'antang's shop, and Ninggou was one of them, as well as the nearby Qinggou and Guogou, all of which were a group of ruffians who did not produce first, blocked the shop for two days and one night, and finally robbed all the things in the shop. Because Xiao Yu made the guys in the shop withdraw to the capital in time, he didn't start much fighting. Later, the Jian family occupied the shop and then gave porridge and rice, and the matter came to an end for the time being.
Behind them were other villagers who were really poor because they couldn't grab the soup and medicine for alms, and gradually had some skirmishes with the gang of ruffians, and the conflict became bigger and bigger, and finally the gang gathered outside Ninggou Village to fight, seriously injuring dozens of people, and the village chiefs of the three villages pressed together to suppress the people who were fighting.
Yesterday the other two villages carried back some of the lightly wounded, but unexpectedly, several died after the night.
There were human lives, how could those people be willing to give up. Now hundreds of tall men armed with sticks and kitchen knives have gathered outside Ninggou Village, and they have gathered more and more, and even persuaded the village chief of Ninggou Village to join them.
What to do when you join them, Aunt Hu doesn't know very well.
This is not a small contradiction between the villagers at all, even if Aunt Hu doesn't understand the importance of it, she can't help but feel weak just looking at the situation, and she has long been panicked in her heart.
Xiao Yu's brows were tightly locked, and his face was solemn.
Aunt Hu was still wiping her tears and said: "The old man asked me to bring the women and children in the village to the mountain to hide first, I don't know the bottom of my heart, when will this be a head?" What if I can't dodge?! ”
Xiao Yu looked at Erjiu: "Erjiu, you are familiar with the terrain here, but what is a safe place to hide?" ”
Erjiu said helplessly: "No matter how familiar I am, can I still be familiar with their local villagers?" ”
Xiao Yu said: "No...... I mean, if there's a war, there's a war, what's there...... A strategic hideout? It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it still has to be able to accommodate so many people. ”
Erjiu's heart jumped: "Is Doctor Feng too worried?" How to war. ”
Xiao Yu shook his head: "I just think...... One qiē is too coincidental, and it's too fast. ”
A group of scattered poor people, even if they wanted to do something, would not organize so quickly. The scale of a few hundred people is really not small.
He remembered the wars around Huaiqian City. At that time, the villagers were so squeezed that they didn't even have anything to eat, and it took several years to gradually become a climate. These villages around the capital are relatively wealthy, and they are not without food, but it only took a few days to develop to this point.
I'm afraid that these villagers have become cannon fodder prepared by the black hands.
