Chapter Forty-Eight: The Robbery
When night fell, there were few pedestrians on Sheng'an Street, and the stalls and vendors also closed their stalls early. Recently, Yancheng has been uneven, and everyone is in danger.
There are few pedestrians in the city, and there are even fewer people on the official roads in the suburbs. In the cold air, You Wu wrapped a thick layer of quilt on his body, but his hands and feet were still cold.
Raising his hand to lift the curtains, the scenery outside the window was already a little blurred, and under the shroud of darkness, it brought a touch of mystery.
"Ming Shi, haven't you seen You Cheng and them yet?" The carriage had already gotten off the official road, and after waiting for a long time, there was no sound around it, which made You Wu a little worried.
"Miss, I'll go ahead and have a look." Ming Shi rode his horse to the front. You Wu's right eyelid jumped violently, and looking at Ming Shi far away, she reminded: "Be careful!" ”
Time passed little by little, but Ming Shi never returned, You Wu was anxious, and the anxious atmosphere made the horses under Ming Yi also feel uneasy, and the horses kept circling around the carriage, and there were bursts of low neighing in their mouths.
"Ming Yi, why hasn't Ming Shi come back yet!" No matter how bold Rao is You Wu, he can't stand such a wait.
Ming Yi was also a little anxious in his heart, and wanted to go and investigate, but he had to guard the young lady and not act rashly. When everyone was taking action from time to time, a short shout suddenly came to mind, which was mixed with the crisp sound of weapon handover, and everyone was shocked, and Ming Yi didn't have time to think about it, so he took a few guards and galloped away.
When they got around the bushes, they saw the scene behind them and immediately became vigilant. Ming Shi was entangled in the network cables and hung upside down under the big tree, while Ming Shi's horse was enclosed under the tree and was quietly eating wild grass.
Under the protection of several guards, Ming Yi flew to save Ming Shi, and before he could ask clearly, he heard a call. Ming Yi's heart tightened, and the secret path was not good, so he immediately rushed towards You Wu's location. Sure enough, by the time he arrived, the carriage You Wu was in had long since disappeared.
"Ming Shi, you go and find someone for help, I'll chase Miss." The two immediately separated, and the driveway was dusty, and it was lifted far away with the winter wind.
Let's say that Ming Shi hurried back, and after a quarter of an hour, he found that a person was riding a horse in front of him, and when he got closer, he found that it was the person who had been with them before, and hurriedly stopped his horse.
Ling Yu was also shocked when he saw Ming Shi rushing back, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Miss You?" ”
"We fell for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the young lady is gone." Ming Shiyi's face was remorseful, the gangsters dared to rob the young lady under his nose, he would definitely make those thieves look good.
"Why don't you wait for notice!" Ling Yu's anger surged up and he rebuked loudly.
Hearing this, Ming Shiyi was shocked and said in a daze: "Half an hour ago, wasn't it a notice from the third Shaoxia?" ”
The two of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, it turned out that someone was making trouble from it. Ling Yu was even more angry, but this time it was not anger towards You Wu, thinking that he had followed his master for so many years, and he had never encountered such a bad thing. If Miss You is injured this time, how will he explain to his master, and how will he explain to You Cheng.
Ling Yu's eyes gathered, and he quickly took out a cylindrical item from his chest, pulled the ring on it, and lifted it to the sky, a stream of hot air came out of the cylinder in his hand, and went straight to the sky, at the same time, there was a sharp chirp in the air, like fireworks scattering, and a little starlight flew around, attracting attention.
After releasing the signal, Ling Yu threw the cylinder in the middle of the road, and said to Ming Shi: "Quick, take me to catch up." ”
No longer hesitating, Ming Shi immediately returned the same way with Ling Yu. Not long after the two left, a team of men and horses hurried in. You Cheng rushed to the front, he looked at the signal cylinder in the middle of the road, and his heart was even more worried.
"Master, it's Ling Yu's signal canister." Anxious in his heart, You Cheng was a little confused.
Seeing this, Wen Nan's face was gloomy, and there was a raging anger in his eyes, so he only said, "Go." ”
Everyone rushed to the direction where You Wu disappeared, and at this moment, You Wu was already swaying in the carriage. She and Aoeda waited quietly in the carriage, but suddenly there was a noise around them, and when she looked at it, the carriage shook forward sharply, and the scenery outside the window quickly passed by, and the person driving the carriage was no longer the previous groom.
"Who are you, stop." Qingzhi kept angrily scolding the man who drove the horse, but the man did not react in the slightest, and the whip in his hand was waving more and more urgently.
I don't know how long it took to be bumpy, but when the carriage gradually stabilized, You Wu had a stinging pain on his head, afraid that he had hit the wound in the bump. Raising his hand to touch it, there was a burst of dampness and heat in his hand, and seeing that the green branches on the side had not yet noticed, You Wu hurriedly touched the blood stains with a thin quilt, so as not to make her frightened.
"Miss, how are you?" Qingzhi hugged You Wu, very scared in his heart, but still asked out loud. You Wu's heart warmed, and he patted her, signaling that he was fine. At this time, it was already dark, and the carriage was driving on the narrow road in the mountains, staggering, and the horse-driving man was afraid that the car would overturn, so he slowed down.
You Wu looked at the surrounding environment, had a plan in his heart, and whispered in Qingzhi's ear. After hearing this, Qingzhi wanted to refuse out loud, but You Wu violently covered her mouth.
You Wu pointed to the bottom of the car, not allowing Qingzhi to refuse, got up and walked to the door and sat down, opened the curtain, glared back at Qingzhi, and when she saw her start to act, she made a noise to distract the driver.
The person in front still didn't say a word, but his ears were filled with You Wu's voice, and he didn't pay attention to anything else. You Wu turned around and saw that the carriage was empty, she was relieved and relieved.
The mountain road is getting steeper and the driving is becoming more and more difficult, You Wu saw that the person in front of her ignored her and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak away. But who expected that at this time, the man suddenly turned back to look, and You Wu had already opened the empty board under the car, and without hesitation, You Wu got out of the carriage. After falling out from underneath, he immediately got up and ducked into the jungle.
The carriage had stopped, but You Wu didn't dare to run towards the forest, it was cold in the middle of the night, and there were more unknown dangers inside. Although it was a winter night, You Wu's underwear was already sweaty, and now, when the cold wind blew, it was as if ice cubes were sticking to her skin, and she shivered from the cold.
You Wu gritted his teeth and insisted, hiding behind a bush of low bushes without making a sound. The man was also silent, only the sound of stepping from time to time reminded You Wu that he was still searching for her.
The footsteps gradually approached, and bursts of cold sweat broke out on You Wu's forehead, and she thought quickly in her heart, no, she couldn't sit still.
Darkness is unknown, but it can be adapted. The short sight had already made You Wu adapt to the darkness, she squatted up slightly, and saw a black shadow flickering on the right, but she was afraid that it was that person. The man drifted away from the mountain path and headed for where she was hiding, and You Wu looked to the left and noticed that the carriage was coming to a stop in front of her left. If she had rushed over and mounted her horse, she might have been able to get ahead of the man.
After a short period of thought, You Wu has made a decision, and she must seize this line of life. Taking a light breath, she mustered up all her strength and ran forward, ignoring the shouts of warning from behind. Seeing that the carriage was near, she looked back and saw that the man was only a few steps away from her. You Wu's face changed, he climbed into the carriage in a hurry, raised his whip to drive the horse, the horse was in pain, spread his hooves and ran forward.
As soon as the carriage moved, You Wu slowed down slightly, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the carriage slammed down, as if he had been pulled by someone, You Wu didn't have time to react, due to inertia, his body fell off the car and fell to the ground.
