Chapter 120: Distress

Add more, ask for pink.

……

From Qingyuan County to Ren'an, it generally takes two days to travel by carriage. Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San set off early in the morning, traveled for a day, and stayed in Aoki Town at night. The next day, I got up just after dawn and walked about dozens of miles to a place with dense woods and peaks on both sides.

Because of the good weather on this day, Ji Xiaotang felt that the carriage was stuffy, and told Master Ji San, so he also rode a white horse and walked side by side with Master Ji San. Although she was dressed in women's clothes, she did not wear any cumbersome jewelry, and she sat quite comfortably on her horse.

Ji Xiaotang has been riding horses since he was a child, and these days, because Master Ji San wants to practice the nursing home, he specially invited Master Li Li Ziyu to teach equestrianism, and Ji Xiaotang also learned it, so his riding skills are more exquisite.

When the two came to Fucheng this time, in addition to the personal maids and girls, they also brought more than a dozen nursing homes, all of which were led by Master Li to escort the convoy. In addition to these people, Second Master Ji also specially arranged for Ji Zhong, the chief steward of the Ji Mansion, to follow. Ji Zhong has been to Fucheng and is very familiar with the roads, accommodation, etc., and Ji Zhong is arranging the itinerary along the way. At this moment, Ji Zhong rode a horse and followed Master Ji San's side.

Ji Xiaotang sat on the horse, looking at the scenery on both sides, and saw that the surrounding terrain was becoming more and more precipitous.

"Ji Zhong," Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Zhong, "What kind of place is this, and how does it look a little gloomy." ”

"The third girl has a good pair of eyes." Ji Zhong smiled and said to Ji Xiaotang and Ji San, "This place is the famous Mujiazhai." ”

"Mujiazhai?" Master Ji San seemed to know the name of this place, and the curiosity on his face became more and more obvious.

"It's Mujiazhai." Ji Zhong nodded.

Mujiazhai is very famous in Ren'an Mansion, because the terrain here is steep, but it is the only way to go from south to north, leading to Ren'an, the capital city, and it has always been a place where strong people gather.

It is said that during the most chaotic period, there were at most a dozen bandits roaring in the mountains, and they lived by robbing passers-by and merchants all day long.

In this dense forest, I don't know how many innocent bones are buried.

"If it is peaceful today, the imperial court and the Fucheng Guard have sent troops to suppress bandits many times, and the area around Mujiazhai is finally peaceful." Ji Zhong sighed and sighed.

Ji Zhong said that there is no bandit trouble now. But when I arrived in Aoki Town yesterday, it was still early, and if I followed the meaning of Master Ji San, I wanted to continue to hurry and stay at the next accommodation, so that I could reach Fucheng as soon as possible.

However, Ji Zhong disagreed anyway. Because if you don't stay in Aoki Town, it will be late when you pass through Mujiazhai.

Master Li was originally escorting the team behind, but at this time, he rode a horse to follow, and he happened to hear Ji Zhong's words. Master Li immediately turned the horse's head and went back to tell the nurses one by one to cheer them up.

"Speed up your journey, don't mess around."

In this way, it is like a great enemy.

Ji Zhong praised this, but didn't say anything.

"Could it be that the mountain bandits have not all been wiped out?" Ji Xiaotang noticed something strange and asked.

"A large number of mountain bandits should have been cleared up." Ji Zhong said, "It's hard to say that a lone guest is a team, and it should be okay for a team like ours." Just be careful. The terrain of this Mujiazhai is still too sinister. ”

Hearing Ji Zhong say this, Ji Xiaotang was not at ease, and specially called Master Li to him.

"Master Li, what do you think?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Li.

"It's good to do your best to pass guò Mujiazhai." Master Li did not whitewash the peace like Ji Zhong, he told Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San that before he defected to the Ji family as a martial master, he had wandered around for a while and heard rumors about Mujiazhai.

According to the rumors that Master Li had heard, the mountain bandits in Mujiazhai had not been cleared up, but had only been hidden, and they no longer robbed passers-by as frequently as in the past.

The reputation of the Mujiazhai bandits is not only in Ren'an Mansion, but also in the Taiyuan Guard, which Master Li has heard of.

After listening to the words of Ji Zhong and Master Li, Master Ji San was not only not afraid or anxious, but was a little excited.

"Ha, it would be nice if there were really bandits in this mountain, it would be better if they didn't have long eyes, found us, and just practiced for the master." Master Ji San's face was a little red with excitement.

He consciously followed a few martial arts masters and had already learned a little, plus Master Li, and more than a dozen of the Ji family's strongest guards, a large number of mountain bandits could not deal with it, if it was just a few bandits, it would not be just for everyone to practice.

"Xiaotang, go and sit in the carriage." Master Ji San said.

Ji Xiaotang ignored Master Ji San, and just instructed Ji Zhong and Master Li to speed up the team.

Although Master Ji San is an elder, whether it is Ji Zhong or Master Li, they all know that Ji Xiaotang's words in the Ji family count, especially when he is with Master Ji San, so he is busy and arranges it all the way.

Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang a little discouraged.

"Uncle, my father ordered me to come and watch you." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Xiaotang, can't you be accommodating?" Master Ji San discussed with Ji Xiaotang.

"No discussion." Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows.

Master Ji San had to sigh.

Ji Xiaotang carried the reins of the horse and urged Master Ji San to walk quickly with her.

The mountain bandits in Mujiazhai left a scarlet heavy mark in her memory, she didn't want to think of it, but she really couldn't forget it.

The convoy was walking between the two mountains, in the densest part of the woods, when they heard screams from the woods in front of them. Immediately after, three or four woodcutter-looking people suddenly emerged from the woods and rushed towards Ji Xiaotang's convoy.

Ji Xiaotang reined in the horse.

Master Ji San pulled out a big knife from behind his back and hurriedly protected Ji Xiaotang's front.

Several woodcutters were carrying firewood behind their backs, carrying firewood knives in their hands, and their feet were fast, and they arrived in front of Master Ji San in a blink of an eye. The woodcutter at the front was a short, thin middle-aged man.

"Someone, stop!" Master Ji San widened his eyes, and saw that although a few people were dressed as woodcutters, it was very bad to run around like this, and he became vigilant in his heart.

The thin man who rushed to the front did not stop.

"There are mountain bandits, mountain bandits have killed people!" The thin man shouted.

Immediately, several woodcutters in the back shouted in the same way.

It turned out that these woodcutters had met mountain bandits and were being chased and killed by mountain bandits.

"Where are the bandits, how many are there?" At this time, Master Li had already rushed over on horseback and brought two elite guards to separate Master Ji San, Ji Xiaotang and the thin man.

When the thin man saw Master Li, his footsteps finally paused. He finally discovered that the team in front of him was not an ordinary team, and Master Li's momentum was definitely not an ordinary person.

The thin man just paused slightly, and then ran again, but this time he didn't go straight to Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang, but rushed towards the side of the convoy.

"Run, the mountain bandits are coming, just behind, you are not opponents. We've already been killed by them. The thin man shouted as he fled.

As if to echo the thin man's words, several more people suddenly appeared in the woods in front of him, all dressed in short clothes, each holding a knife and a gun in his hand.

The few woodcutters who escaped were a little panicked, and one of them fell in front of the convoy, and the firewood knife in his hand flew up all of a sudden, but it was a coincidence that he was coming towards Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang.

Master Li stopped in front, raised his gun and knocked the firewood knife out.

The sword is light and shadowy, and the frightened person can barely calm down, but the frightened horse does not look like a human.

There were a few horses in the convoy that were shocked, and Master Ji San's horse bore the brunt.

Master Ji San's horse was startled first, and rushed to the side with his stumbling, almost knocking over Master Li's horse. It was Master Li's quick reaction and superb equestrian skills that he was not taken off the horse, and at the same time tightly grasped the reins of Master Ji San's horse.

Ji Xiaotang's jujube red horse was nothing, but he was startled by Ji San's startled horse, and Ash screamed and jumped to the side. Originally, Ji Xiaotang could still stabilize the horse, but at this time, I don't know who threw a lit torch into the crowd.

The tail of the red horse was burned.

The jujube red horse jumped twice, and rushed into the dense forest in a panic.

"Xiaotang!"

"Three girls!"

Ji Xiaotang only felt that the wind was whirring in her ears, and the voice calling for her was getting farther and farther away. Fortunately, her riding skills have improved a lot, and she can stay calm in this situation, not only did she not get turned on her back by the jujube red horse, but she was also able to dodge the branches sticking out from the left and right.

This branch usually looks harmless, but at this moment it is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for killing.

Ji Xiaotang pursed his lips, holding the reins in his hand, and his body was tightly attached to the horse's back. She couldn't just die. In her previous life, she lived to be sixteen years old, and in this life she has to live a long time, how can she die at this time. She still has a lot to do.

Sticking to the horse's back, Ji Xiaotang's mind was extremely clear. She thought back to Fang Cai's situation.

The problem is with the woodcutters.

The woodcutters didn't have the slightest flaw, the clothes on their bodies, the firewood on their backs, and the firewood knives in their hands. However, if you think about it carefully, there are flaws everywhere.

Since he was chased by mountain bandits and his life was not guaranteed, why did he refuse to give up the firewood on his back? and the firewood knives in their hands, which seem to be sharpened too sharply, are used to chop wood, but they are a bit overkill.

And when they saw the convoy, ordinary people would not be like them.

Moreover, several woodcutters actually got together in one place. And the mountain bandits who robbed the wealth went all out to hunt down and kill these woodcutters who had nothing to lose, could it be that they were short of firewood and crops.

Something is wrong, this thing is not right from beginning to end.

The most wrong thing was the firewood knife that flew towards her and Master Ji San.

How could it be so coincidental.

If it weren't for Master Li's amazing skills, would she and Master Ji San have to directly face those woodcutters with firewood knives in their hands, and the flying firewood knives would have slashed at her or on Master Ji San's body.

There are also torches that are lit.

It's a big day, how can you light a torch for no reason. Moreover, did the torch really unintentionally fall between the horse she and Master Ji San were riding?

Someone wants her or Ji San's life, or rather, someone wants the life of their uncle and nephew!

Is Jiang Qingshan? Or is it ...... There are others.

To find out the truth and find the truth, she must first live, Ji Xiaotang thought.

Perhaps, she didn't need to live long, but in any case, she had to watch the people who had killed her die before her.

She couldn't die like that.

With this idea of survival, Ji Xiaotang didn't know how long he had persevered, but the wind in his ears had not weakened, and the jujube red horse was still galloping in the forest.

I have to think of a way, Ji Xiaotang thinks so, but at this moment, she really can't think about it.

At this time, Ji Xiaotang heard a voice getting closer and closer behind him, and someone was chasing after him on horseback.

Is this the one who came to kill her, or the one who came to save her?

The people and horses behind were riding fast, and gradually Ji Xiaotang could already hear the breath of the other horse and the other person, which was close at hand. Being able to catch up with the crazy jujube red horse in such a complex terrain, the strength of this horse's feet and this person's riding skills can be said to be breathtaking.

If this person is the one who came to kill her......

Ji Xiaotang didn't have time to think about it anymore, the jujube red horse seemed to be suddenly pulled by something, Ash screamed twice, his front hooves were raised high, and then he fell to the ground with a bang. At the same time, Ji Xiaotang felt that his body was hanging in the air.

"Let go!" The young man's voice was low and heavy, and his breathing almost burned Ji Xiaotang's ears.
