When Qin Xiang and the others set off, the aroma of boiled meat was already wafting in the small city of Fuzhou, a small city with a long history.

The recipe for cooking meat varies from house to house, but the aroma of the meat that lingers is really fascinating.

Even Qin Xiang, who didn't have much preference for meat, smelled the aroma of meat, and swallowed his saliva.

During this period of time, the Japanese food was open, and most of the meat eaten was jerky or grilled, and there were a few fire bubbles on the corners of Qin Xiang's mouth when he ate.

Look at Xiaoyu again, she is a plain little girl, and her face is also haggard and sallow.

"After Fuzhou, it'll be fine."

Qin Xiang thought so, and the person was also drowsy in the rickety carriage. She slept well last night, and although the bed board was not very comfortable, it was still a bed. It's a pity that the genius Meng Mengliang and his party packed up and were about to leave the city.

By daybreak, they had completely left Fuzhou and embarked on a rugged path that was not very wide.

Qin Xiang woke up in this bump, opened the curtain and looked, it was almost noon.

"Just now, the sixth said, let us take a break in the forest in front of us and eat some dry food."

Qin Xiang didn't have much experience in long-distance travel, and listened to Chen Wuliu all the way. If Chen Wuliu were to be placed now, he would definitely be a professional wilderness survival expert. With him as their guide, although they encountered hardships along the way, they were also thrilling.

"Alright, let's rest."

After resting for only half an hour, eating some dry food, and feeding the horses water and grazing, they were about to go on their way again.

For more than a month, I have spent so much that no one has complained bitterly.

Chen Wuliu looked back at the carriage Qin Xiang was in, and blushed at his prejudice when he first left Beijing. It turns out that in this world, there are really women who are not inferior to men. It is this Mrs. Qin, although she seems to be weak, she is extremely far-sighted and bold. How many hardships they encountered on the road, although she was pale, she survived stubbornly, which was impressive, not to mention, but also a sense of admiration.

The prince asked them to protect Qin Xiang to send grain and grass to Gancheng, and they also wondered about the identity of this woman. Chen Wuliu quietly investigated, only knew that this person was a powerful businessman, and later learned that she was also named the county lord by His Majesty.

In the carriage, Qin Xiang took a blank booklet and wrote his experience on it with charcoal.

It's too boring on the road, and there's nothing to pass the time, so I'm tired of reading the book. Qin Xiang found a blank booklet and recorded some of the things she thought were useful, maybe she would use them in the future.

As soon as Qin Xiang dropped the words spicy chicken on the paper, the carriage shook lightly and stopped.

"I'll ask what's going on."

Xiaoyu lifted the curtain and was about to jump out of the car, when she suddenly heard Chen Wuliu shouting: "Alert!" ”

"The owner!"

Qin Xiang quickly stuffed the booklet back into his arms, and pulled out the dagger in his boot with one hand and put it in front of him.

"Don't be afraid."

Xiaoyu also held a knife and waited for it.

I have encountered mountain bandits along the way, even if there is a thrilling crossing, but the process is not simple. The master and servant bought the weapons in the blacksmith shop, so as not to be incapable of Chen Wuliu and the others when they encountered danger, and the two of them were taken hostage again.

There was no movement in front for a long time, and Qin Xiang lifted the curtain and took a sneak peek.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the backs of Chen Wuliu and the others were waiting for them. But it's so unusually quiet, but it's a little weird.

Except for the sound of horses breathing and the sound of people, there was no sound in the surrounding mountains and forests.

It's too abnormal, Qin Xiang thought to himself.

This abnormality brought her an unspeakable sense of crisis. Her breathing slowed subconsciously, and her eyes were like falcons, staring firmly around her.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu also lowered her body, and sweat was pouring from the palm of her grip on the knife.

Chen Wuliu sat on his horse, listening to the sound of the wind.

Suddenly......

Whoosh –

An arrow grazed Chen Wuliu's ear and thuded into the hard earth.

Qin Xiang's heart also tightened, and his expression became more and more nervous.

This ability to shoot arrows alone was completely different from the bandits they had encountered before.

But apart from an arrow, there was no movement.

Qin Xiang suspected that the other party deliberately shot arrows for deterrence, not to hurt people.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came to her, she heard someone in the woods shouting: "Leave the goods in your hands and leave on your own, and we will not hurt their lives." ”

It's easy to say that you don't want money and don't want your life, but you're afraid of trying to get rich and want your life.

If it is an ordinary caravan, when it encounters bandits, it must give up some goods and choose to save their lives. However, Qin Xiang and others are different, their transportation of goods is fake, but the transportation of grain is real. These grains and grasses are sent to Gancheng even if they are desperate for their lives.

There was not much danger along the way, and Qin Xiang understood that this was their method of confusing the enemy. Now whether this group of bandits are real bandits or sent by those behind the scenes, she is not sure at all.

Chen Wuliu arched his hand towards the forest, the corner of his eye swept over the nearby hills, and said loudly: "We are from Xijing, and these goods on the car are our lives. Why don't I leave the silver, and the strong man let me wait for a horse? ”

Chen Wuliu couldn't see that in addition to the forest, there were many people ambushed on the nearby hills and the high cliffs. With bows and arrows and other weapons in their hands, they stared at the caravan as if they were a meal.

"What do you think, boss?" The thin man squinted his eyes and said, "If you have silver, you can make it......"

"It's really shallow-eyed. How did you persuade me before? Let me keep an eye on the caravan to get some goods to exchange for money. Now that people give money, you are tempted? Phew! He is a dart, how much silver can he give, it is better to take the goods. ”

When the thin man heard this, he also felt that it was true. "Then ask for the goods, keep an eye on the brothers, but don't take people's lives."

"You really think we're robbers."

Chen Wuliu waited patiently, but heard someone speak: "Leave the goods, don't want silver." ”

It's tricky, they can't give up the goods.

Chen Wuliu glanced at his subordinates, and everyone drew their weapons and guarded the surroundings.

I don't know who made the first move, but by the time Qin Xiang reacted, there was already a scuffle in front of him.

She and Xiaoyu were next to each other, her face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"The owner, fight, fight."

"Don't be afraid, let's stay here and not go out."

"Okay, Xiaoyu is not afraid."

Qin Xiang swallowed her saliva, her heart was uncertain, her eyes looked around through the narrow car window. The terrain here is unfavorable to them, so it's no wonder that the other party would choose to do it here. Maybe the bandits' lair is nearby, and that's a problem.

Even if they are lucky enough to beat each other, the other party can go back to their lair to move the rescuers.

Qin Xiang pursed his lips, he had never felt so sad.

Chen Wuliu is also quite bitter, although the opponent's tricks are not in order, they can attack with great power, which is a trick to kill people. The other party seemed to really want to let them go, but they didn't make a ruthless move, so they were able to breathe.

Chen Wuliu was just worried, if the other party really made a black hand, they would have to explain here today.

The thin man is also depressed at the moment, these people don't want to die, and they have to swear to protect the goods? If this continues, a careless one will really kill someone.

"Big Boss ......"

"Tie up! Tie it all up for me! ”

Chen Wuliu didn't react, so he was kicked from behind and gnawed on a mouthful of mud. Immediately, his arms were in severe pain, and his arms were tightly tied with hemp rope.

Within a few moments, the grain transport team was completely wiped out.

Thin Face and the others, checking the carriage one by one, suddenly heard someone say: "Big boss, there is still a carriage here." ”

Qin Xiang's heart tightened, and the curtain of the car was lifted, and he faced a fierce and vicious face.

Xiaoyu let out a scream in fright, and the knife slammed forward regardless of it.

The man was also taken aback, took a step back and patted his chest, "Damn, how come there are two girls here." ”

When the thin man heard this, he and the man who was called the big boss rushed over, and sure enough, he saw that there were female dependents in the carriage.

"This ......"

"Take it back first."

"Is that tied?"

"What are you tied, it's just two women, you can't run."

Although the people were not tied, the weapons were confiscated.

Qin Xiang and Xiaoyu hugged each other tightly, their teeth clenched, and their expressions were gloomy.

Although she has not been tied, judging from the film and television dramas she has watched, there is absolutely no good end for a woman who falls into a den of thieves. Besides, although she didn't dare to boast that she was stunning, her appearance was not bad.

Hey? Qin Xiang suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

It stands to reason that a group of extremely vicious people will have to talk about it when they see two beautiful women like flowers. The man seemed to be frightened by the presence of a female dependent in the car, and although he was rude when he collected his weapons, he did not take advantage of it.

Qin Xiang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't know what the other party was.

There is a long convoy of vehicles, and you can't walk fast on the road.

The thin man walked and talked to the people around him.

"Big boss! Big boss! ”

"What's wrong again!"

"Grain! The car is full of food! ”

"What?!"

The word 'grain' stimulated everyone's eyes reddened, and the man jumped out of the carriage, lifted the covered oilcloth and looked at it, and gasped.

"It's food."

The thin man looked at a few carriages one by one, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, "Big boss, all of them are grain!" ”

The man squinted his eyes and looked suspiciously at the carriage behind him.

"Go and ask them where they came from."

"Big boss, you don't care where they come from. It's just right to have food, and we have to go out and buy it with silver. Nowadays, the price of food is very high, and I am lucky to be able to buy it. ”

"I don't think it's right. I saw that the direction of the carriage was towards Gancheng, and the carriage was disguised, and it happened to be transporting grain. When they just fought, those people's martial arts were not like dart masters, but like forbidden troops. ”

The thin man let out a 'huh' and suddenly realized: "It seems that you think that this group of people is responsible for transporting the supplies that the imperial court has given us?" ”

"Anyway, let's go to Gancheng first. The order goes down, hurry up, and be sure to rush to Gancheng before dark. Linzi, go to the camp and report the news. ”

"Whoa!"

On the carriage, Qin Xiang and Xiaoyu were in shock.

"Boss, they've found food."

Qin Xiang lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Sooner or later." That's not what I'm worried about, you just heard that they said they were going to Gancheng. ”
