Chapter Forty-Eight: Distress on the Way Home
"Miss, it's not too early." Chunyu whispered to Li Mingyun, who was still looking at the flowers.
At this time, Li Mingyun is no longer just appreciating flowers, she wants to keep all these in her mind, and when she returns home, she will go to get the set of painting tools given to her by her second brother, and paint her vision.
"Okay."
Li Mingyun looked at them and smiled, "Then let's go home." ”
They got into the carriage and walked all the way to the city.
Outside the city, there are not many people, and there are flowers and trees everywhere, and the branches and green leaves of the trees are like a layer of gold in the sun, swaying slightly in the warm wind.
Li Mingyun sat in the car, closed his eyes and thought about the scenery he had just seen.
I don't know how long it took, the speed of the carriage suddenly increased, and then Xue Yan's voice was lowered outside.
"Hold on."
Although the sound was small, it seemed to have infinite power, making several people in the carriage subconsciously grasp the edge of the car.
Li Mingyun opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
With that, she grabbed the edge of the car and tried to move out of the car.
She didn't expect a bump in the carriage that almost caused her to hit the wall in front of the carriage, so she sat on the edge of the carriage inside.
Qiu Qing didn't grasp it steadily, and fell directly to the ground with an "oops".
Chunyu and Li Yuewu hurriedly supported her.
"What's going on?" Li Mingyun poked his head out and found that Xue Yan was whipping the car, and the old man had retreated to the back.
Seeing her come out, the coachman hurriedly said, "Miss, go in and sit, be careful of falling!" ”
Although he didn't know what was going on, Xue Guard snatched his whip, but he thought that he had a good relationship with Xue Guard, and it was okay if he suddenly wanted to drive the carriage.
"Xue Yan?"
Li Mingyun was a little angry when he saw that Xue Yan didn't answer.
"What's going on? Tell me about it! ”
This kind of inexplicable like running away will not only frighten the people in the carriage, but also make her angry because she is confused.
Xue Yan said in a low voice: "Someone is following us, we have to get rid of them." ”
With that, he whipped the horse again, and the horse neighed and ran even more violently.
The road was dusty, and things around it passed by.
Li Mingyun returned to the carriage in silence, and saw Li Yuewu and Chunyu frowning and seemed to be very worried.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry." She reassured, "It may be that someone wants to enter the city before us, and they will be at the city gate immediately, don't be afraid." ”
Her tone was so calm that it was no different from what she usually said, which made the hearts of the three people in the car unexpectedly let go.
"Hmm!" Qiu Qing looked firmly at the young lady with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, "I believe in the young lady!" ”
The corners of Li Mingyun's mouth curled back to her with a reassuring look.
But her heart was clenched.
It's just that they can't see it, and if they panic, they will panic too.
Panicking without knowing anything would be self-defeating, so she needed to calm herself and them first.
Xue Yan said that someone followed them, naturally it was not an ordinary follow, it seemed that someone wanted to trouble them.
She thinks she didn't offend anyone, so what's going on?
Who is the person who is following behind?
She couldn't figure it out.
When people are flustered, they are prone to think about things and thoughts.
Li Mingyun instantly thought of the things that had been bothering her for the past few days.
After the last visit to the house, his father hurriedly asked Xue Yan to come over, and then Xue Yan was nowhere to be seen all day.
What exactly do they do?
Thinking about it, the carriage came with another big bump, followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, and then the carriage slowly stopped.
The sound of swords colliding suddenly sounded, and the coachman outside shouted "ah": "Murder!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the sound of swords became louder and louder.
In the carriage, Li Yuewu's face turned pale, and she grabbed the edge of the car and didn't dare to move.
Chunyu and Qiuqing also bit their lipes and tried not to let themselves scream.
How could this happen?
It's horrible.
They looked panicked, restless, and broken.
Li Mingyun looked through the cracks exposed by the window curtains, and saw only patches of trees.
This is a forest, the forest has frightened away a group of birds because of the fight, and at this moment everything is silent, leaving only the sound of ping-pong in the wind and weapons fighting, loud and piercing.
Outside, Xue Yan had already fought several black-clothed masked men for a few rounds.
They didn't say what they were going to do, they picked up knives and slashed people, apparently they had already received orders to come here to kill people.
A man in black slashed with a knife, and was kicked by Xue Yan under the big tree at the other end, and a large pile of leaves fell down, and a small mound made of fallen leaves suddenly accumulated on the ground.
Two more black-clothed men struck back and forth, and Xue Yan jumped up and stretched out his legs to kick them to both sides at the same time.
The other men in black were annoyed and angry, and their attacks became more and more ferocious.
A man in black directly slashed at the carriage with a knife, and Xue Yan flew up to catch up and cut the man to the ground with a sword.
With a muffled snort, the black-clothed mouth vomited blood and fell to the ground unable to move.
Although Xue Yan's martial arts are high, he is entangled by many people, and he can't take care of everything, at this time, a man in black rushed towards the carriage, the coachman screamed, and subconsciously grabbed the whip and shook it at the horse's buttocks a few times.
The horse screamed twice, raised its hooves and galloped like madness.
"Hey! Old man, the direction is wrong, this is not going to the city gate! ”
The coachman shouted loudly, but he could not stop the horse from moving faster and faster.
Li Mingyun lifted the curtain of the window, and saw that the scenery along the way was getting stranger and stranger, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
"Ming Yun ......" Li Yuewu bit her pale lip and said with tears in her eyes, "Now, what can I do?" ”
She can't cry, it's over when she cries, she must stay calm at the moment and think of a way.
"Wait for Xue Guard!"
Li Mingyun said in a deep voice, his body jolting with the shaking of the carriage.
The sound of swords behind is still strong and weak, and it seems to be close to the ears all of a sudden, and it seems to be a little farther away.
There was already a layer of sweat on her back, and her heart was weak from anxiety.
She'd never been in a situation like this, so she didn't know what to do.
For now, the only way to do this is to run.
If you don't run, you'll be killed.
"Uncle!" She shouted, "Hurry the horse, try to make it as fast as you can, but don't beat it hard!" ”
It was futile, but she didn't know what to say other than that.
"Miss! I'm afraid the horses are going crazy! The coachman yelled, and the horses neighed.
Behind the carriage, the sound of swords slashing into wood could be faintly felt, and Qiu Qing and the others were trembling with fright, lying on their stomachs and not daring to raise their heads.
Li Mingyun held the handrail hard.
The warm carriage on weekdays has become a life-threatening charm at this moment, and her hands are getting colder and colder when she touches the wood.
There was a layer of sweat on her forehead, she had wiped it flawlessly, her body swayed with the carriage, and she didn't dare to change her position.
For fear that if one is not careful, she will be thrown out.
She couldn't be thrown out, because there was a killer behind her, and if she kept following the carriage, she might be able to wait until Xue Yan came to save her.
Thinking of this, she used more and more strength, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in the palms of her hands, which had never sweated.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the carriage shook as if it had hit something, and it was earth-shattering for a while.
The screams of women, the neighing of horses.
With his hand loosened in vain, Li Mingyun watched himself slowly fly out of the carriage, and his mind gradually emptied......
