Chai Bin listened to Ren Changqing's words and was deeply moved.

He remembered Ouyang Laodu, and the imperial court also beheaded the entire clan on trumped-up charges. It is said that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the bird hides the bow as well, but the cunning rabbit and the bird are not dead, and they begin to kill the heroes.

He couldn't help but feel unfair for the Ren family, and he was also sincerely worried about the current situation of the Ren family. As a man who stands up to the sky, he has his own passion to serve the court. But the current court is really chilling! What if you win the battle? What if you have made a contribution? In the end, it was inevitable that the whole clan would be guillotined.

So, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, and said to Ren Changqing and Ren Xiaohang: "General Ren, Lord Ren, Chai Bin is worthy of the two of them, and it is an honor for Chai to accompany the eldest lady to take on this important responsibility." Chai Bin used his life to guarantee that he must protect the eldest lady this time and not let her be in any danger. ”

Ren Changqing clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" On behalf of the Ren family, I would like to thank you for your high righteousness! My family will remember this love and will never forget! ”

Ren Xiaohang also clenched his fists and said, "Please!" ”

At this time, Wang Qiuyue took out a stack of silver tickets from her arms and handed them to Li Ziyu, saying, "Miss, this is 30,000 taels of silver tickets." Your aunt said that the family reassures you that everything is with her. Moreover, Su Nian and Su Sheng in the shop have already taken care of themselves, and Xue Jiacai is responsible for the liaison between all parties. When there is not enough cloth and cotton, your aunt will replenish it in time.

Niu Datou, Jing Songbai, and Zhao Qing are responsible for Lijiazhuang, and the 1,000 acres of land in Zhangkou Town and the 1,000 acres of land in Changdong Town are each responsible for tenant farmers, and the shopkeepers of each shop will also be fully responsible.

Your aunt said. If you have time, let you take the time to see her two sons and see if their grandmother is serious about them. If it's not going well. Let you reach out and help them. ”

Li Ziyu nodded, put the silver ticket in her arms, and at the same time prepared a lot of darts smeared with various drugs, and put them in her arms.

The dart in her arms was a special bag made of deerskin by my aunt. The darts used by Li Ziyu now are already made of very light thin iron. Her skill in using darts has long since reached the realm of freedom in retracting and retracting. So even if there may be danger on the road, she is not afraid at all.

In order to save trouble on the road, the three of them made some disguises.

Li Ziyu disguised herself as a lady whose parents died. This time I went to Yidu to join my family. Chai Bin dressed up as a middle-aged coachman, and Wang Qiuyue dressed up as an old mother.

Ren Xiaohang prepared a road guide for the three of them to cope with the interrogation on the road. Ren Changqing handed Li Ziyu a handwritten letter from him, and Li Ziyu carefully put it in his underwear.

The three of them are ready. said goodbye to the Ren family's uncles and nephews. Beat the horse and whip and rushed to Yidu.

The carriage of this trip is a two-horse cart, and the carts are all good foals, not to mention traveling thousands of miles a day, but walking two or three hundred miles a day is not a problem.

They went straight to Changdong Town along the official road, from Shiyan Town to Changdong Town for more than 100 miles, and it only took them more than half an hour to arrive.

Because they were coming from the north, their carriages were carefully examined as they entered the gates.

Lin Zhanjie did not close the city gates, and there are also villagers from several villages in the north of Changdong Town who still live there. Every day, they also went into the city to buy and sell, and they were no different from the old days.

But. As soon as Li Ziyu and the others arrived at the gate of the North City, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate: "What are you doing?" Where to go? Is there a way? ”

Chai Bin took out the road and handed it over to the soldiers to check, and said with a sad face: "My old lady has passed away, and only my young lady is left in the family, and we are going to vote for distant relatives." The official master is good, let the little one pass. ”

As he spoke, he quietly handed over a money bag containing fifty yuan.

The soldier pinched the money bag in his hand, and uncomfortably lifted the curtain to look inside, and saw that there was only a teenage girl and an old mother in the carriage, so he waved his hand to make way of the passage.

In the past few days, General Lin has specially instructed to step up the investigation at the city gate, especially those young and middle-aged people who know martial arts, and maybe they are spies of the Liao army. Moreover, the people sent by the second prince were stationed in the army, and General Lin was not good at openly disobeying.

There are women and children in this car, and they don't meet the requirements of the second prince, and they have 50 yuan for nothing, why not be a good person?

Li Ziyu and the others entered the city, avoided the bustling streets, chose the remote streets to walk, and galloped towards the gate of the southern city non-stop.

Before leaving the city, Li Ziyu asked Uncle Chai to buy some dry food, cooked meat, fruits, and some water with a water bladder. Although you may get sick if you drink cold water, you can't take care of it now.

Li Ziyu said in the carriage: "Uncle Chai, let's hurry out of the city." In the future, if it is not necessary, I will not stay in the city, and it will be too troublesome to enter and leave the city. ”

Chai Bin agreed: "The eldest lady is right, I think so too. Our time is precious, and we can't afford to delay. ”

While talking, the carriage arrived at the south city gate, fortunately, it was much easier to get out of the city gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not ask too much, so they let them out of the city gate.

Changdong Town is still more than 200 miles away from the next city, and even if they hurry up, they won't be able to enter the city gate in time.

But fortunately, they didn't want to stay in the city, so it didn't matter if it was morning or night.

Chai Bin drove the carriage all the way, since he didn't want to stay in the city, but at least he had to stay in a village. The eldest lady has to get a good night's sleep, otherwise she will not be able to bear the rest of the journey.

She's still a child, and she's a girl, so what's the best thing about not resting?

But gradually, Chai Bin felt that something was wrong, and the speed of the car gradually slowed down.

The next city is Qulan Town, where there are mostly hills on both sides of the official road, but there are also times when the mountains are steep.

Most of the hills are planted with crops, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just that when passing through the high mountain area, the dense woods on both sides obviously emit a pungent smell of blood.

This indicates that someone was killed in the woods, or that there were dead bodies that had been killed.

Chai Bin waved the horsewhip and pretended to be afraid to drive the carriage, and whispered: "Miss, something is wrong, be more careful." ”

Li Ziyu's sense of smell is already sensitive, Chai Bin smelled blood, and she had already smelled it. It's just that she has no way back now, but to move forward.

So he also lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Chai, hurry as usual, there is nothing to be afraid of, the soldiers will come to block it." ”

However, when they reached the next peak, they were blocked by a caravan of about forty or fifty men.

All the guards of this caravan were fighting with a group of black-clad masked men, and from time to time someone on both sides fell, but it was obvious that the men in black were undoubtedly superior, because the caravan's guards were distracted to protect the wagon, so they were already struggling to cope.

From time to time, there were one or two short screams at the scene, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Chai Bin parked the carriage a little far away from the caravan, and whispered to Li Ziyu: "Miss, I'm afraid it won't be good today, even if we don't make a move, if the caravan loses in a while, the man in black won't let us go." ”

Li Ziyu lifted the curtain, watched for a while, and immediately understood why Uncle Chai was so worried.

According to her observation, there was an ordinary caravan in front of it, but it was intercepted and killed by the black-clothed masked man without any scruples, and he did it mercilessly. This shows that there are people in the caravan who are in black, who are taboo or suspicious. Their practice of killing by mistake rather than letting go of one person proves more and more that the matter of Yidu has reached a very serious moment.

Since the black-clad masked men could even strike at ordinary caravans without hesitation, how could they let go of the onlookers who witnessed their killing? They will be wiped out when the caravan is destroyed.

So, Li Ziyu said decisively: "Uncle Chai is right, let's help the caravan when the two sides are evenly matched now, and get the first opportunity first." Aunt Chai watched the carriage here, and Uncle Chai and I went over. ”

Li Ziyu said that, covered her face with a gauze scarf, jumped off the carriage with a curtain of the car, and rushed towards the place where the two sides were fighting.

Chai Bin also learned from Li Ziyu to cover his face with a cloth towel, followed closely behind Li Ziyu, took off and rushed towards the fighting crowd.

Wang Qiuyue didn't speak, but nodded in response. She knew that she didn't know martial arts, and now was not the time to be reckless. As long as she kept an eye on the carriage, she could help them. (To be continued.) )
