Chapter 56: Encounter with the Bandits
Out of concern for the old lady, Jinsu and An Xiayu both sat in the old lady's carriage. Although there were still three carriages in the group, the last two were grandmothers and luggage.
The old lady closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, frowning, very sad. An Xiayu and Jin Su sat on both sides of the old lady on the left and right, very calm.
The carriage staggered for about half an hour, and the three people in the carriage never spoke, and the atmosphere was a little cold. Suddenly, Bai Zhi made a "whoosh", and with the neighing of the horses, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The old lady was unstable for a while, and she almost hit the carriage door in front of her, but fortunately, Jinsu was quick and helped her, so she was spared.
Before he could go out, there were three rapid knocks outside the carriage door. This is the code that the three of them used to use before, which means that there is trouble, tricky ** annoyance.
After the old lady sat down, she looked at Jinsu and An Xiayu with some concern and asked.
"What's going on?"
"Grandmother, I'm afraid we're in trouble."
"What's the trouble!?" An Xiayu is also afraid.
Before Jinsu could respond, there was a shout from the nursing home outside.
"Who are you, why don't you get out of the way?"
"Get out of the way? We came here at dawn, and we finally waited until now, and you said get out of the way? What a joke! Speaking of this, he snorted coldly and continued.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, even though we are bandits, we are also principled. Everyone takes out the valuable things on their bodies, and if they can satisfy our brothers, then they can leave. β
In the carriage, as soon as the old lady heard that it was a bandit, she was immediately frightened, her whole face was blue and white for a while, and she was tightly tugging on her handkerchief, pretending to be calm. And An Xiayu, after all, is young, where has he ever encountered such a thing, just hearing the word thief, he is already frightened and at a loss.
Jinsu is a person who walks the rivers and lakes, so he is naturally much calmer. It's just that in front of the old lady and An Xiayu, she and Bai Qi are not easy to show their skills, although she has not seen the kung fu of the nurses, but it must not be much better if she thinks about it, otherwise she often goes in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she has not been discovered once. At the moment, I can't beat it, so I can only find a way to slip away.
"Bold fanatics, do you know that this is the family of Xiangguofu, if you are injured in the slightest, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."
I don't know which nursing home it is, but at this time it is still awe-inspiring.
"Hahaha......"
The bandit's treacherous laughter sounded unusually harsh.
Jin Su gently patted the hands of the old lady and Xia Yu, "Grandmother, Xia Yu, don't panic first, I'll go out and have a look first, and wait for my news." β
got up and was about to get out of the carriage, but at this time, the old lady shouted with concern, "Eh, be careful yourself." β
Jin Su pursed her lips slightly and nodded.
"I know that you are from the Xiangguo Mansion, otherwise I would not have brought so many brothers to pick you up in person. Didn't you say that the old lady and the eldest lady were there? What about people? β
It was still the same gruff voice that shouted.
At this time, Jinsu opened the carriage door and came out, and said calmly, "I am!" β
At this time, Jin Su saw the surrounding situation clearly, this road, on one side is a dense forest, the carriage can't enter at all, and it is not easy for people to hide inside. On the other side was a small hill, and the carriage could not go up either, but there were far fewer trees on the hillside, which was not suitable for escape and ambush.
There were about thirty or forty bandits surrounding their three carriages, but only four or five people rode horses, and one of them was the man who had just spoken, and he should be the leader of the bandits.
The maid and mother-in-law in the back two carriages had already gotten out of the carriage and knelt on the ground, crying and crying, very embarrassed.
"Yo, this is the eldest lady! And what about the old lady? The bandit leader asked ill-intentionedly.
"You kidnap people, just want silver, just tie me up. My grandmother is old, but she can't stand the toss, and if something happens again, not only will you not get the money, but you will get into trouble. You're all smart people, and you won't be unable to figure this out. β
"Heh~ I can't see that you are a filial person, unlike the county lord, in order for me to let her go, you actually explained your itinerary and foundation to me clearly."
"What county lord? Are you talking about the Lord of Pingle? β
"It seems to be, it seems to be the daughter of some princess. Don't worry about her, you'll see each other again soon anyway! β
There seems to be a fire in Jinsu's heart, this An Yasheng, it's not even if he really died by himself, and now he has to put her and the old lady in it, which is not only selfish, but also stupid!
Also angry is the old lady in the carriage, I am afraid that she has scolded Anya Sheng thousands of times in her heart.
"Since you have made up your mind to tie me and my grandmother, it is better to let those two grandmothers go back and deliver the letter, so that my father can come and ransom us with the money."
Jin Su still said calmly, even if he was kidnapped, he still said calmly, as if he was chatting.
The bandit leader was very satisfied with Jinsu's cooperation, and shouted at the two grandmothers next to the second carriage, "Come here." β
The two grandmothers lowered their heads and stepped forward timidly.
"Go back and tell your family Xiangguo, his wife, and his two daughters are here with me, and I will prepare 300,000 taels of silver tickets tonight to redeem people." Remind him that it is better not to report to the official, otherwise it will ......" he paused, spit on the shiny knife, and wiped it clean with his sleeve before continuing, "I can only come and collect the body." β
The two grandmothers were about to turn around and leave, when Jinsu suddenly shouted.
"Waitβββ"
Jinsu turned around and got into the carriage, leaned over to take the hairpin from the old lady's head, and whispered, "Sit tight."
Then he jumped out of the carriage, handed the hairpin in his hand to the two grandmothers, and instructed, "Be sure to tell my father that you can only pay the money until you make sure that we are safe." β
The two grandmothers seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and the golden hairpin left.
The ten guards still did not relax around the carriage in which the old lady was sitting, but they did not dare to do it.
By this time, some of the thieves had already moved their belongings in the first two carriages, while the rest of the maids were still kneeling and wiping their tears.
"Alright, the messenger has also returned, you should go with me." The bandit leader urged impatiently.
"Okay, I'll go and help my grandmother down."
Jin Su walked to the carriage as she spoke, and when she got into the carriage, Bai Zhi naturally helped her.
Climbing into the carriage, Jin Su looked back and gave Bai Zhi a look, and Bai Zhi immediately understood. With a wave of his hand, two hidden weapons flew out and hit the horses of the two carriages behind him heavily, and the horses were in pain and scurried like crazy.
At this moment, Jin Su raised the horsewhip with lightning speed, slapped it heavily, and the carriage ran quickly.
The bandit leader and the rest of the bandits who rode horses were about to chase after him, and Bai Zhi flew into a fight with the bandit leader. But he was soon entangled by the rest of the bandits.
watched as the bandit leader and one of his subordinates, Jinsu, chased after their carriage.
After all, the carriage was still inferior to the horses running fast, and it was about to be overtaken, so Jinsu told Bai Qian.
"You must send the old lady back to the house safely."
"Miss, what about you?"
"I'm going to lure the bandits away, or we won't be able to leave."
"Miss βββ"
"Eldest Sister βββ"
Jin Su jumped out of the carriage without looking back and ran to the other side alone. She ran very slowly, and deliberately let the bandit leader capture her as she wished, without any resistance, because she knew that An Xiayu and the old lady in the carriage were watching.
