Chapter Seventy-Eight: Encountering Bandits
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Encountering Bandits
The mood that was depressed by parting suddenly cleared up a little.
The convoy gradually accelerated out of the city gate, and a few days after the convoy, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly shook behind the convoy. Suddenly, a steward ordered to stop.
Xie Ke was sitting in the car, only to hear someone shouting that someone was chasing him.
A moment later, Chu Ye's voice sounded outside the car. "Bao girl, Brother Jin and Brother Qi are here to see each other, do you want to see them?"
It was not surprising that Brother Qi'er would come to Xie Ke, for Chu Qiyan, Xie Ke always owed a little bit in his heart, for seven years, Chu Qiyan was indeed sincere to her, but in the end she still made him sad.
But Chu Jinyan......
Actually came to see her off? Xie Ke was a little surprised, she thought about it, and still responded.
Chu Ye ordered the convoy to get off the post road, chose a forest to rest for a while, and then Xie Ke was helped out of the carriage by Shui Qing.
Chu Ye had already sent his subordinates to the distance, and there were only Chu Ye and Cheng Shancai in the vicinity, and Cheng Shancai naturally had no objection to Xie Ke's decision. Seeing Xie Ke this time made Cheng Shancai feel a lot of emotion, and he remembered his late fourth grandmother. Sister Bao'er looks like four grandmothers, and she is beautiful like a fairy daughter. But compared with the fourth grandmother, Sister Bao is very organized and does not drag her feet.
Let Cheng Shancai can't help but act according to the order.
And far away from Xie Kezhang. Two young men stood tall beside the tree.
One is reserved and proud, the other is smiling, but from that smile, Xie Ke can see a little gloom.
"Cousin, cousin." Xie Ke called softly.
Chu Qiyan nodded heavily, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help but look at Xie Kelai. Xie Ke wore a smoked purple eight-piece skirt today, with an emerald jadeite beaded silver hairpin on his head. A small jade-white face smiled lightly.
Such a glamorous, such bright.
But......
Chu Qiyan was bitter in his heart, but he tried his best to smile, that is, he was destined to have no part in the end, and he also wanted Sister Bao to remember that he sent her away with a smile.
Chu Jinyan on the side couldn't see any expression on his face, and only nodded reservedly at Xie Ke's call. He stood there and didn't speak again, and Xie Ke didn't pay attention to him anymore, just looked at Chu Qiyan with a smile.
"Sister Bao, it's been a long journey all the way, so you have to pay attention to your body...... When I return to Jian'an, remember to write a letter to my grandmother to report her safety...... Uncle will visit you from time to time, and if I find something good, I will ask him to bring it to you...... Also, I will study hard and gain fame in the future. In the end, his face was flushed.
Chu Jinyan on the side finally snorted softly.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense. What do you have to do with Sister Bao if you don't test your fame or not. Sister Bao...... You have finally left the Chu clan and are going back to Jian'an. For seven years, what you owe to the Chu clan will definitely remember to compensate in the future. ”
In Chu Ye's slightly sinking eyes, Chu Jinyan finished word by word.
Then ignoring Xie Ke's puzzled eyes, he turned around and jumped on the horse and walked away. Chu Qiyan smiled apologetically, turned over and got on the horse, and finally reluctantly beat the horse away.
They came and went quickly, Xie Ke didn't even understand what Chu Jinyan meant by those words, she couldn't help frowning and looking at Chu Ye, Chu Ye also shook his head gently, Xie Ke had to give up, turned around and got into the car.
Chu Ye, on the other hand, kept looking at the direction Chu Jinyan left, his eyes were deep.
Along the way, Xie Ke even forgot about the boy for a while, if it wasn't for the ......
At the beginning, Chu Ye originally planned to settle down at the post station, but the convoy was slower than expected, and finally found a small pond to camp.
The camp was set up and a bonfire was lit, but there were guards to cook the food......
Xie Ke and Chu Ye's meals have their own cook's dishes brought by the Chu family. Because Xie Ke was a female dependent, Xie Ke's carriage was separated by a curtain, and next to the bonfire, Chu Ye and Cheng Shancai toasted and drank. Chu Ye seems to appreciate Cheng Shancai's old man, and Cheng Shancai is even more yearning for the Chu family's master's free and easy.
Coupled with Chu Ye's friendship regardless of his identity, Cheng Shancai was naturally very happy.
The two seem to hate each other, and they can't wait to compensate each other for the wine of the previous ten years. It tastes a little careless.
Xie Ke hastily used some food, and then Shui Qing served him and got into the carriage. Tonight, Shui Qing and Shui Zhu Wheel stayed on the carriage for the night.
And Cong Rui, Yuhui and the girls, the girls in Xie Ke's courtyard were escorted by the guards and set up a tent on the other side.
With the occasional whispers and occasional laughter of Chu Ye and Cheng Shancai by the bonfire next to the car, Xie Ke slowly fell asleep.
In her dream, she seemed to float back to the Chu family...... It was his mother's boudoir, and the mother in the room seemed to be twenty-eight years old, wearing a beautiful moon-white skirt, and a snow-white bead flower on her head.
Then the mother suddenly looked at her and opened her mouth.
She said......
'Sister Bao'er, you can't follow your mother's old path, you can't. In the dim candlelight, Mother Chu's originally beautiful face suddenly became distorted, and finally there was no blood. Xie Ke was shocked.
"Miss, Miss, wake up." Xie Ke suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was Shui Qing's miserable little face. Xie Ke was still immersed in the dream just now, and he couldn't figure out what was happening around him for a while. Where could Shui Qing care about Xie Ke's expression, and hurriedly changed Xie Ke's clothes.
Xie Ke let Shui Qing move, and it wasn't until Shui Qing put her skirt on her body that she came back to her senses. He asked in a fluttering voice. "What happened?" “…… We've met the gangsters, and the guards are fighting the gangsters. Steward Cheng and Fourth Master Chu also joined the battle. In order to prevent accidents, Fourth Master Chu instructed the slave maid to protect the young lady. ”
Got a bad guy?
How so? Xie Ke's first reaction was impossible.
It's not far from Wangchuan, and every car has the mark of the Wangchuan Chu clan.
In the realm of Wangchuan, provoke the Chu clan...... The gangsters are too bold.
At this time, the movement outside the car was faintly transmitted into the car. The sound of swords clashing, the sound of human pain. Shui Qing tried his best to block in front of Xie Ke, but his body was already trembling...... Compared with Shui Qing, Xie Ke is much calmer.
Because this time it was different from the previous life, she traveled with her mother.
That time, there was no strong guard by my mother's side, and although the guard was desperate to protect the master, his skills were inferior to others after all.
But at this time, there is Cheng Shancai, and there is also a little uncle...... There are the manpower brought by Cheng Shancai, and the guards of the Chu family brought by the little uncle...... Xie Ke told himself not to worry, not to worry.
The movement outside the carriage lasted for half a pillar of incense, and finally died down.
Shui Qing had the courage to lift the curtain......
At this moment, Xie Ke only saw a flash of dark light in the distance, and in an instant she had already reacted to what it was.
It was an arrow, a dark arrow, reflecting the light of the fire into her eyes.
Xie Ke has lived two lives, and it is the first time she has seen such a dangerous situation with her own eyes, and her mother in the previous life pushed her to the seat to protect her as soon as possible, but in this life, there is no mother by her side to protect her...... (To be continued.) )
