Chapter 217: The Narrow Road 3
The smell of blood in the air grew stronger, though it was still faint to others.
Lin Ruo also heard what Li Yan said, but she never refuted it. The kindness of a woman will leave a future trouble, although she can't bear to lose many lives, but she doesn't want to leave a future trouble, threatening the Lin family in the future, threatening the people she cares about.
I have lived in such an era for ten years, and many concepts and habits have been slowly assimilated, and my heart has become much harder. Except when facing the people she cares about.
Looking at Li Xien, who was trying to curl up the whole person in her arms, Lin Ruo proposed to Li Yan to take a detour first and settle down at the inn in front of her. Li Yan did not object, the shadow guards left by Leng Shu and Murong Chong must have accompanied Lin Ruo to protect him, and he divided most of his men to escort Lin Ruo to Pingyu County in front of him, and he took Shao Gang and a few others to stay, of course, there was also a carriage.
Song Huan Chu didn't expect that the mountain bandits outside Pingyu County would be so violent!
Pingyu County is quite close to Beiqi, because it is a small border county, the border army is not strong, and Hu people often come to plunder. These mountain bandits rob business with the Hu people all the year round, and they are naturally very fierce, compared to the Hu people, and even the government is helpless.
Safety is the first priority, and they are not in a hurry, Lin Ruo and his party did not plan to take this road in the first place, but they were disturbed by this movement, so they went to investigate.
Song Huan Chu is not from Donglu, and he doesn't know the stakes, because he escaped from the civil strife in Beiqi, and he was aware of Tang Xiao's ambitions, and felt that it was difficult to control it, so he secretly left with his guards.
Because there is no pass to seal the letter, can only go around the distance, the road is bumpy, folded a few guards, I thought that into the territory of Donglu, it will be safer, but I did not expect to meet more fierce than the Hu people Pingyu mountain bandits!
Of the only four remaining guards, three fell, and although the mountain bandits were also slashed and stabbed to death by them, they still couldn't change the situation of being outnumbered. The mountain bandits on the other side are becoming more and more arrogant, more and more angry, and more and more fierce. As if to snatch the spoils of their robbery for the brothers who fell to the ground, the killing was red-eyed.
Song Huan Chu and the only remaining guard were all painted. Although Song Huan Chu is not proficient in learning, he is the master anyway, and he has always had guards to protect him, but at this moment, there is only one guard left, and he is stretched.
Could it be that God wants him to stay here?
Song Huan Chu's heart was wailing in despair, seeing that after the last guard was stabbed for him, he staggered and couldn't stand steadily, but he still resisted desperately.
He was pushed out and rolled in a circle, and before he could get up, the corner of his eye caught the cold front flickering, approaching him, and the guards who were entangled by the mountain bandits had no time to save him.
"My life is on the ......"
Song Huan Chu closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come, but after a long time, the butcher's knife never fell, but the sound of the confrontation Jin Ge became even more noisy.
Could it be that there is a contradiction within the mountain bandits?
Suddenly he opened his eyes, and he saw a group of well-trained guards fighting the mountain bandits.
Unlike them, who ran long distances, fought and fled, and were exhausted, although these people only had a dozen or so people, and they were inferior in numbers, they made a clean and fatal move, and quickly solved most of the mountain bandits, which was terrifying.
The mountain bandit knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, and if he continued to stalemate, he would have to explain all his brothers here, so he hurriedly made a secret signal and ordered the remaining dozens of people to retreat quickly.
"Ah Yu, you follow them and find their lair. The rest of the people don't have to chase after it. ”
Wei Ce commanded in a deep voice, Mr. Li's "as long as Song Huan Chu is alive" means that they should solve the guards around Song Huan Chu, and not reveal Lin Ruo's true identity and the relationship between Lin Ruo and Mr. Li.
This group of mountain bandits is really fierce, if they hadn't unexpectedly solved more than a dozen people, which made the other party frightened, I'm afraid it would have been a fierce battle, not to mention that this group of people had to be cleaned up!
After being a guard in the palace for so many years, Wei Ce has already figured out some ways, and today, they are completely different from these robbers who make a living by plundering, even if they want to eliminate harm for the people, they must use legitimate methods, such as finding out their nests, and then hand them over to the government to deal with. They can help from the side, but they can't solve it privately, let alone rob the government of the credit, otherwise they will cause trouble for their own masters - although their master at the moment is Lin Ruo, the lord of Minhui County personally appointed by Emperor Mingzong, and the concubine of King Rong.
Wei Ce counted the number of people, except for one or two who were slightly injured, the others were all safe and sound, as for these corpses, when the time comes, go to the Yamen of Pingyu County and inform them to deal with them.
Song Huan Chu struggled to get up, and his last guard was also dead, lying in a pool of blood, without blinking his eyes. Looking around at the guards who suddenly appeared, although they didn't know the details, they guessed that they had no malicious intent. The others didn't look familiar to him, only Wetzer.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered that he had seen him in the Beiqi royal court, at that time, this person was responsible for picking up Lin Ruo and Murong Chong outside the king's tent, and he remembered that Murong Chong called him "Ace".
Looking at his skills and coordination, could it be Murong Chong's secret guard?
Murong Chong is in the Beiqi camp at the moment, it is impossible to appear here, could it be Lin Ruo?
She, saved him again?
Song Huan Chu was a little hesitant, took two steps forward, and wanted to thank Wei Ce, Wei Ce glanced at Song Huan Chu lightly, bowed his hand without being humble or arrogant, and shouted "Prince Zhan" without being salty or indifferent, and then ignored it, took a few steps back, bowed to the shadows, and shouted respectfully: "Mr. Li." ”
The cold voice answered lightly, and then, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the snow, and a man who looked like a scholar walked out, glanced at the corpses on the ground casually, turned his gaze to Song Huan Chu's face, showed a shallow smile, and said unhurriedly: "Young Master Chu, oh no, it should be Prince Zhan, we meet again." ”
Song Huan Chu looked at the person in front of him who looked light and breezy, and the whole person was a little confused.
Mr. Lai?
Li Yan?!
What's going on?
Murong Chong's subordinates were so respectful to Li Yan?
King Rong of Donglu, Mr. Li of Beiqi......
They, it's a gang?!
Song Huan Chu was full of doubts, but Li Yan didn't explain anything, just with a just right smile, he was clothed in a big hat and invited into the carriage.
Finally, he glanced at the snow mixed with blood and dirt, and said softly: "It seems that I have to live in Pingyu Post House tonight." Hopefully it won't be delayed for too long. ”
