The team of Xuan Wangfu is well prepared, the road is quite comfortable, and they are not too in a hurry, if it is raining, they will rest on the road for two days before setting off.

But the caravan that followed them was obviously not as well prepared as the people of the Xuan Palace.

There was an autumn rain, the weather was getting colder and colder, because there were too many mountain roads on this day, I still didn't feel a place with a post house or inn before the evening, so I could only continue to drive in the field for one night.

The progress of the caravan behind him is the same as that of the Xuan Palace.

However, when the guards of the Xuan Wangfu had made a tent to rest, someone from the caravan came, as if they wanted to ask for help.

Ji Yanning called Ziyu and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ziyu replied truthfully: "The people in the caravan didn't bring enough clothes, especially that Mrs. Fang, it is estimated that it is the first time to walk so far, and she didn't bring thick clothes, and she saw that we have a female dependent here, and wanted to come over and borrow two clothes or quilts." ”

Ji Yanning listened to Ziyu's words, his eyes flashed slightly.

Seeing that Ji Yanning was silent, Ziyu asked, "The slave maid thought that the clothes could not be borrowed casually, so she gave them a bedding, did the slave maid do something wrong?"

After all, he thought that Ji Yanning would not ask about such a thing easily, so Ziyu was also a little apprehensive when she saw Ji Yanning's expression now.

Ji Yanning lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you borrow it, you will borrow it, but don't let such a thing happen in the future." ”

Ziyu nodded and said, "The slave maid knows, but just now I thought that only Mrs. Fang and a maid beside her in the caravan were female dependents, and the others couldn't take care of them, so I thought about helping." ”

Ji Yanning said: "They are a caravan, they must be experienced, not to mention that Mrs. Fang's husband is also there, won't she remind her that the weather is getting cooler after the autumn is now? It takes about two months to travel from Chang'an to Yingzhou, who can believe that they can be so unprepared." ”

Originally, she still wanted to feel sorry for Mrs. Fang, but when she heard Ji Yanning say this, she also felt very strange.

The caravan had intended to be close to the team of their royal palace from the beginning.

Now she has lent the futon out, but she is afraid that the people of the caravan will take this opportunity to find it, they all have one and two, and if they borrow something, they will have something to do with it, and they can take the opportunity to get closer.

Thinking of this, Ziyu also knew why the princess was unhappy.

"I didn't think it through. Ziyu frowned and said, "Don't worry, princess, I won't pay attention to them next time." ”

Ji Yanning nodded.

Sure enough, on the second day, the maid in the caravan came over and thanked Ziyu vigorously.

also said that if she hadn't borrowed the bedding, she was afraid that her wife would be cold.

Ziyu frowned, hearing her say this, her tone was a little cold, and said: "There are so many of you, I don't believe that no one will lend your wife, not to mention that your uncle is also in the caravan, doesn't he know to bring the futon out?"

Seeing Ziyu's attitude inexplicably colder, the maid said, "Our lady is also following the caravan for the first time, and she really doesn't understand this. ”

Ziyu looked at the maid and seemed to have a weak explanation, and said, "Forget it, we also have to use the things here for our own use, don't come here to borrow them in the future." ”

The maid's face was a little ugly, and she wanted to explain, but she found that Ziyu didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she walked away directly.

In the evening, I finally arrived at the inn where I could rest.

When Ji Yanning and his party came over, they had already asked for most of the rooms.

The maid returned the bedding, and said a word of thanks, and said that their wife would buy a futon in the inn, so that they would not have to trouble them in the future.

Ziyu didn't care, looking at the girl's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she didn't want to hear too much explanation at all.

Ordinary people feel a little distressed and sympathetic when they see them so embarrassed, but Ziyu is not like this, and she has not been able to eat oil and salt.

The maid could only go to Ziluo and Zisheng again.

The two sisters were wise, and knew that the princess did not want to treat the people in this caravan, so naturally they did not want to have anything to do with them.

The maid could only go back to her room in frustration.

In fact, Mrs. Fang didn't want to come to visit Ji Yanning, but Ji Yanning never agreed.

Although it was because of their peers, the two teams were a little embarrassed.

In the morning, when the journey started again, Ziyu looked at the team behind her, and asked Ji Yanning with some puzzlement: "Princess, why don't you let them go first, we can play on the road for a few more days." ”

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Ji Yanning sat in the carriage and explained: "Before the purpose of these people is determined, it may not be a good thing to let them walk in front of us. ”

Ziyu asked, "Why?"

Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows and said, "What if they set up a roadblock?"

Ziyu thought about it and nodded, if they were walking in front and really had ulterior motives, it would not be good to set up an ambush.

Although the ability of the palace is quite strong, and the caravan has little chance of winning against the people of the palace, it is still necessary to pay attention.

After all, when you are away from home, you always have to be careful.

Ziyu has gradually adapted to such a hurried life, and it is also a simple matter to serve Ji Yanning in the carriage.

The road was unusually bumpy, and even the carriage, which had always been steady, felt a little shaky, making Ziyu feel dizzy and want to sleep.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ziyu opened her eyes, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside.

Normally, when stopping for a break, the guards will notify in advance, but now they stop for no reason.

Hearing Ziyu's question, the guard replied, "The road ahead is gravel and crosswood, and the carriage can't pass for a while. ”

Ji Yanning, who was in the carriage, couldn't help frowning when he heard the news.

There are gravel and crossbars on the road, is this intended to intercept passers-by?

Before Ji Yanning could speak, Rong Che had already stepped into the carriage.

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then said to Ji Yanning: "The slave maid got out of the car and went to take a look." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning's soft hum, Ziyu got out of the carriage.

It's just that as soon as she poked her head out, Ji Yanning suddenly heard the sound of bows and arrows shooting in the air.

Rong Che's eyes were quick, and he directly pulled Ziyu back into the carriage.

Only a "clang" was heard, and a sharp arrow pierced the frame of the carriage.

Ziyu gasped in fright.

"Don't move around here. Rong Che said to Ji Yanning, and then drew his sword and got out of the carriage.

Rong Che jumped out of the carriage and felt a lot of arrows shooting in their direction, and he used his sword to block them one by one.

There are more and more sharp arrows, and they are becoming more and more dense, and even if the guards of the palace are strong in martial arts, many people have already been injured.

Ziyu hid in the carriage, a little nervously guarding Ji Yanning's surroundings, worried.

"Don't worry. Ji Yanning comforted her.

It didn't take long for the rain of arrows outside to stop, and the arrows in his hands had all been shot, and a bunch of mountain bandits came out to stop the team of Xuanwangfu.

"I didn't expect it to be quite carryable. The man who took the lead looked at these guards, although some of them were injured, but most of them were still fine, and they looked like Lian Jiazi.

Rong Che looked at this group of people with a cold face, these bows and arrows did not seem to be made by mountain bandits, but these mountain bandits did not look like they were born as officers and soldiers or as dead soldiers.

Qiu Carp stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

When the mountain bandit heard Qiu Li's words, he sneered: "Naturally, you are a person who seeks wealth, all the things you have here are left for Lao Tzu, and the women are also left, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." ”

"It's up to you?" Qiu Li, looking at the person in front of him, only felt ridiculous.

It's just that as soon as his words fell, hundreds of people emerged from the surrounding mountains, all holding different weapons, and surrounded the people of the Xuan Palace.

There are more than 100 people in the Xuan Wangfu, but in terms of numbers, it is really not enough to face so many mountain bandits.

That's why these mountain bandits are so unscrupulous.

Qiu Lili said coldly: "Do you dare to stop us if you know who we are?"

The mountain bandits seemed unmoved: "Even if it is the emperor Laozi, we dare to stop it, and those who are interested will obediently hand over the things!"

Rong Che's eyes were cold, looking at these mountain bandits, they seemed to have made up their minds not to let go of the people in this team.

It doesn't look like it's just a random passerby.

"This is the boundary of Langzhou, and it seems that it was connived at by the prefect of Langzhou. Rong Che said lightly.

When the mountain bandit leader heard Rong Che's words, his eyelids jumped, and he shouted: "Even if you move out of the prefect's mansion, Lao Tzu is still not afraid, and he throws away the weapon in his hand if he is interested!"

"Jinhe. ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Ji Yanning, who was in the carriage, called softly, lifted the curtain, and handed over a packet of medicinal powder in his hand.

Jinhe took the powder.

Ji Yanning said: "Scatter some in the direction of the downwind, these are all insects." ”

When Jinhe heard Ji Yanning say this, he responded: "My subordinates know." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind the group, then jumped up the hillside and threw himself towards the group of bandits who surrounded the royal team.

Because it was with the wind, the powder was quickly sprinkled on the bodies of those mountain bandits.

"Beware of poison!"

Those people looked at Jinhe's posture, covered their mouths and noses in fright, and scattered around.

"Damn, it seems that you are unwilling to give in!" "The mountain bandit who took the lead shouted, "Brothers, give it to Lao Tzu!"

At his command, the mountain bandits who were surrounding rushed in the direction of Rong Che and them.

Rong Che's face was indifferent, holding the long sword in his hand, he jumped up, stepped directly on the shoulder of a mountain bandit, and then landed beside the mountain bandit leader, looking at the mountain bandit leader's surprised and unbelievable expression, he raised the knife and directly cut off the head of the mountain bandit leader to the ground.

"Village master!" those mountain bandits saw this scene, their eyes widened, and they raised their hands and slashed in the direction of Rong Che.

It's just that Rong Che's skills are faster, and before they can react, they have already made a hole and escaped from the mountain bandits.
