21. Chapter 21
Early in the morning, Xiao Jing bathed and changed clothes early and went to Baishoutang to ask for peace, the old lady was afraid of delaying the time and let him set off early, Xiao Jing only took Pei'er Shuang'er and Qing'er to serve beside her, Mama Wang just came back and was afraid that she was tired of the journey, so she left her in the house to watch, Aunt Li was very well prepared, the carriage entourage was ready, afraid that Xiao Jing would be bored on the road, she also prepared tea and snacks, and twenty guards followed the carriage to protect her, for fear that Xiao Jing would have an accident, she also asked Zhenguo Gong for twenty secret guards to follow, Aunt Wang naturally didn't know.
Looking at Qing'er Pei'er, who was dedicated all the way, she was very unhappy, and when Xiao Jing told her to leave to prepare things, Pei'er asked Xiao Jing in a hurry: "Miss, everyone knows that she is Aunt Wang's person, why do you want to take her with you?" Wouldn't that be more dangerous? Xiao Jing smiled slightly, put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Pei'er, "You girl rarely uses her brains, but this time I thought you had grown!" I didn't expect it to be so stupid? Hearing Xiao Jing joke that Pei'er Shuang'er was laughing more happily on the side, Xiao Jing suddenly looked at her, "Tell me why I want to take her?" ”
"That's it, you have the ability to say it." Pei'er put her hands on her waist and pouted slightly, looking very cute.
"The reason why Miss took her is because she knows that she is Aunt Wang's person, if she is not Aunt Wang's person, Miss may not take her!" Shuang'er's eyebrows fluttered and explained, as if he was pleasing Xiao Jing.
Looking at her appearance, Xiao Jing smiled and nodded: "Shuang'er is smart, if this way goes smoothly to the ancestral tomb to worship my mother, and then I feel scared to come back safely, now Aunt Wang is eager to get rid of it immediately, how can she let go of this good opportunity?" If something happens to me on the road, who can blame her? Liuqing'er still has to trouble Mama Wang to watch in the house, beware, Mama Wang should have a good rest for a few days as soon as she comes back, how can she have so much energy to stare at her every day? ”
"The slave and maid understand." Pell bowed and stepped aside happily.
Xiao Jing took a sip of the teacup again, she suspected her when Qing'er said bad things about Xiao Qing in front of her yesterday, and asked Aunt Li to check on her temporarily, she was indeed very suspicious.
After thirty miles of travel, the sky gradually darkened, and the carriage left the official road and took the trail, which was close to the mountains, so Xiao Jing instructed the coachman to speed up and rush to the next town as soon as possible. But the carriage not only did not speed up, but stopped completely, the carriage was startled and the tea and snacks in the car spilled on the ground, Xiao Jing hurriedly lifted the curtain, and what caught his eye was more than 30 bandits who were five big and three coarse, all of them carrying big knives on their shoulders and behaving vulgarly were really ugly, Pei'er and Shuang'er hurriedly ran to Xiao Jing to protect them, although they were also afraid.
Xiao Jing behaved elegantly, and her face was indifferent, "The little woman passed by here, I don't know where she offended you?" ”
"It's not that they are offended, it's just that the brothers have a hard time living in the mountains. It's just a mix of food. The bandit led by him was full of yellow teeth, and his face leaked when he laughed, and he had no preparation to let Xiao Jing go, and Xiao Jing was not panicked, "Brothers, are you using people's money to eliminate disasters for others?" Saying that, Xiao Jing's eyes stayed on the trembling coachman, the car he was driving naturally knew where to go, it seems that there are more spies than Qing'er and the coachman! Xiao Jing's eyes roamed over the faces of the guards, these people were afraid that they couldn't be used, only the twenty secret guards quietly prepared by Aunt Li could, but they couldn't be used easily, but if it was at the last moment, they had to be used.
The bandits and guards were facing each other, and no one dared to act rashly, and the guards slowly retreated. Little by little, the bandits approached and blocked the middle of the path.
