Chapter 32: A Bumpy Road (2)
In the early morning, someone came in and opened the door, and the light outside was so dazzling that I couldn't open my eyes for a moment.
"Take it all!"
After the shopkeeper opened his mouth, three or four big men came in and pulled us up from the ground, and the other girls were more or less uncooperative except me, and then I heard several slap slaps, these big men had great strength, and some of these girls were beaten and bloodied.
"What are you doing! Why do you want to hit someone! "After struggling all night last night, the hemp rope in my hand has loosened a lot by this time, and I still have a sleeve arrow hidden in this sleeve, thinking that after untying the hemp rope, I may be able to use the sleeve arrow to escape.
"Girl, since we have tied you up, you are no longer human beings from this moment on, but just an object and an animal, and it is really naΓ―ve to ask us what to do!"
I stood against the wall, and most of my hands behind me had already come out, "We naturally know that the future will not be easy, but are you not afraid of retribution for doing these things?" β
I used to think that this kind of line was useless, since I dared to do such a hurtful thing, where would I be afraid of illusory retribution, but I didn't say this for addiction, I just wanted to buy myself more time.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go."
These big men reached out and pulled the girl who fell to the ground up, and then pulled us forward hard, and by this time the restraints on my hands had been untied, I glanced at the people in the room, there were four men in total, and my sleeve arrow could only deal with two people at most in a short time, and it seemed that I had to do it again when there were few people outside.
I don't want a group of us to walk to the door before someone kicked the secret door down, kicking the door from the outside is naturally Kun and Ji Yao, I am saved, no, we are saved.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the person's martial arts were good, he was so frightened that he immediately squatted in the corner on the side, "Come on, you guys!" β
Although the other three big men have brute strength, where is the opponent of Kun and Ji Luo, the three of them were all kicked to the ground after a while, and the shopkeeper was trying to escape by surprise, and I quickly pressed the sleeve arrow, which was nailed exactly an inch away from his head, and then the shopkeeper was so frightened that he immediately fainted, don't be so timid, I was actually scared like this, but my head is getting better and better, and when I see Yan Beishen in the future, I have to show off with him.
In the end, the shopkeeper and his thugs and a few black little two in the store were all tied up with hemp rope by Ji Luo and Kun Xuan, my southern kite is not a generous person, they tied my hands and feet all night, and now it is still a little painful, I stepped forward and beat them hard, this evil breath is not out of my heart can not be smooth, let you be human traffickers This kind of immoral thing, after I beat me violently, the other girls also didn't care about the image of a lady, and took turns to beat them five or six times, In the end, these people who were tied up began to cry and beg for mercy from their fathers and grandmothers, and in the end, they were already unrecognizable, and they were black.
"Thank you for the girl's rescue, if it weren't for the girl and the girl's friends, our group of people would have to be sold to some hooked place, the girl is not short of gold and silver, we all have nothing to reciprocate, just kowtow to the girl and the girl's friends as a reward."
Saying that, a group of them really kowtowed on the ground seriously, and I couldn't stop it, but after kowtowing, a group of people stood up.
"I'm embarrassed about what you guys did, but you have to be very careful when you go out in the future, after all, this world is really not safe now, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Mocheng, the key place of Gyeonggi in the Qiang Kingdom, and there will be such a bandit, which is really embarrassing."
"I don't know what to call my benefactor, if we have the opportunity in the future, we will also find an opportunity to repay it." The person who has been speaking on behalf of these people is the person I bumped into last night, and I see that there is a little potential for sales, and this speech is like a head-to-head talk.
I waved my hand again and again, "You don't have to be so polite, since everyone is fate to share hardships together, why do you have to know each other when you meet, right?" β
"Since it's inconvenient for the benefactor to reveal, then we won't ask anymore, it's just that several of us came to Mocheng from Huacheng together, and we originally thought that we could find some work in Mocheng, but now that we encounter this matter, we don't know whether we should go to Mocheng again."
It turns out that they came to live in Mocheng together, but isn't Huacheng a rich place, why are the people in it going out to make a living in other places now, I thought about it and felt that I could help it.
"You can go to the Qingwang Mansion in Mocheng to try it, the work there is still good, let's just say that you met a maidservant named Ci'an in the middle of the road, she recommended you to go to the palace, and the princess there will definitely help you."
After I finished speaking, a group of them thanked them again, and I don't know how long it would be delayed, so I asked Kun Yu to go upstairs and take my package down, and then I left with Kun and Ji Yao, and as for these wicked people, they would naturally be taken away by the government, but the girls would do this kind of thing when they went to report to the officials, and Kun Yu went to the bedroom to get some quilts and pillows when Ji Luo and I were about to get into the carriage.
"Kun Xuan, I remember that Yanbei took the waterway before, can we also take the waterway to Fengcheng, will it be faster."
"Princess, I'm afraid it won't work, although the waterway is fast, but I am a landlubber with Ji Yao, if something happens, it will be difficult to explain to the prince at that time, and this waterway is very easy to get seasick, I'm afraid that Fengcheng has not yet arrived, we will be seriously ill first."
Kun Yu's words are reasonable, this kind of thing is better not to steal tricks, and Ji Xia proposed at this time that we can take some remote roads, but I am afraid that I will not be adapted.
"No, no, don't underestimate me, although I am not as strong as you in martial arts and physically strong, but I still don't have a problem with enduring hardships, then you choose a good route and we will set off, we can't delay any longer."
After Kun and Ji Yao discussed the walking route, we went back on the road, and the following days were almost day and night in a hurry, and we chose all the shortcuts, the short road is good, but there are also the bad of the shortcut, that is, there are almost no people on the way, and there are no shops, even the simple little things such as drinking hot tea are now unlikely, fortunately, I brought Kun and Ji Lu these two capable helpers, and my sleeve arrows were all used to hunt in the end, Ji Luo and Kun Yu are almost a hundred shots, never missed, occasionally hit a hare, occasionally a pheasant, but can not eat all these meat food, eat too much is easy to get angry, fortunately Kun Yu was prescient when she left Mocheng also brought some spices and some dried fruit shellfish by the way, which can be eaten at any time, much better than me, I just thought that I could bring some preserved meat and some candied fruit.
I asked her how she came up with the idea of bringing these things, and she replied, "I used to go out often to carry out tasks commanded by the Lord, and the more times I have gone out, I naturally know what is most important and can help you survive." β
The most important thing to go out is naturally to eat, drink, Lazar and sleep these five things, other things can be said to be dispensable, inconsequential, but this rush is fierce, we have not taken a bath for more than a week, I feel that my body is not about to smell, and the weather is getting colder and colder, fortunately there is a quilt brought by Kun in the carriage, otherwise we have to freeze to death on such a cold day, I and Kun Yu are sleeping in the carriage, and the clothes and sleep covered with a big thick quilt, Even so, I still feel that there are some people, and Ji Luo is even more awesome, directly wrapped in the quilt and sleeping in a place where you can rely on your back, sometimes it is a tree stump, sometimes it is a stone, but fortunately, there are about three days to get to Fengcheng, and when we find Yanbei, our days like this can be over.
The next morning, when we were about to go again, we found that the horses refused to go.
"What can I do, this horse seems to be tired, and he won't go again after resting all night, but if there is no horse, we will definitely not be able to take the bedding in this carriage."
I thought about it, the horse is also pitiful, it has taken us out of so many roads, tired is natural, I looked around and found that this is a dense jungle area, so I took the decision to remove the bolt from the horse's neck, and then patted the horse's buttocks, it seemed to understand what I meant, and left without looking back.
Ji was puzzled, "Princess, what are you?" β
"Let's go, it's almost to Fengcheng anyway, this horse is also pitiful, just let it fend for itself."
In desperation, we just got something that was easy to carry, and the horses ran away anyway, so we naturally gave up the carriage.
We walked along the mountain road for most of the day, to be honest I really didn't expect this slap in the face to come so quickly, I already have no strength to go to the back, this mountain road looks easy to walk, but really walked for a long time, my legs began to tremble, and the weather is so cold, I am walking while rubbing my hands.
I calculated, if you take a carriage, it is estimated that there are still three days to get to Fengcheng, but I really don't know how long it will take to walk to Fengcheng with just two legs, and I am the worst physical strength among the three, just Kun and Ji Xuan, they can go without stopping, and may be able to reach Fengcheng in three days, but with my burden, I am afraid that it will not be ironclad, and I have no one who can walk three times and stop at a speed.
In the end, I thought about it, taking the path is not a way, it's okay during the day, but what to do at night, now the quilt and these things are thrown on the carriage, and at night I'm afraid I'll freeze to death, don't I didn't find Yan Beishen, and Yan Beishen has to come to collect my body.
After thinking about it again and again, I still decided to take the big road, even if it was a little slower, but there were shops with people, and the three of us urgently needed to replenish our strength at the moment, and we could go to the big town to replenish our supplies, and then we could also buy horses and carts again, so that it could actually shorten the distance a lot, the point was that the three of us could not be so tired, of course, the most tired of them must be me.
We walked down the mountain for a while, and then we saw that there were already teahouses and food sellers at the bottom of the mountain, and I drank two large bowls of warm tea before I felt warm in my hands and feet.
Now we are in this big town is Yuncheng, there are still three hundred miles away from Fengcheng, I still have a lot of silver left, seeing that I will soon be able to get to Fengcheng, these silver will not need to be saved, we walked into the city gate, and then found a most luxurious tavern, ordered more than a dozen dishes, and asked Xiao Er to help me buy some jerky bedding and carriage, I gave Xiao Er a full hundred taels of silver, and told him to buy more bedding beds, as for the carriage must be the best, the rest of the money belongs to Xiao Er himself, As soon as the little two heard that there would be a reward, he happily asked the shopkeeper for leave, and then hurried out.
After all, we are not familiar with this place, and we will set off immediately after eating, so it will save a lot of time to let others help buy it.
"Do you know, two days ago, the god of war played a beautiful return pistol, and scared the rabble in Jiangzhou into a dare, according to this situation, when it comes to the spring of next year, I am afraid that Jiangzhou will have to surrender obediently and admit defeat, the god of war is really still the god of war, even if he has not been on the battlefield for so many years, but he is still able to turn the tide."
The two men at the next table were discussing the latest battle situation, and I turned around and asked them without thinking about eating, "In this way, the God of War was trapped in the mountain col that day, has the predicament been solved?" β
"Of course, it was ten days ago, and now Guangye has been recovered, and only the two cities of Black Fontanelle and Meng Bromo have not been recovered, but now that the two armies are recuperating, I am afraid that there will be no more war in this short period of time, but this recovery must be just around the corner."
After hearing this news, my heart was finally a lot more relieved, so it seems that when I found Yan Beishen, maybe he was resting in the camp tent or discussing the battle situation with General Liang.
"Kun Yu, let's eat quickly, and then after eating, let's find an inn to stay, the three of us have been sleeping in the open for so many days, and we should also sleep well and rest, as for you."
"I will find my own place to live, and the princess does not have to worry."
In this way, the three of us don't have to be in such a hurry, and after eating, the little two also came back, and he quickly bought everything that should be bought, and bought some gloves for us by the way, what a person who can do things.
After that, I asked Xiao Er to recommend the best inn here, and Xiao Er pointed to one, saying that this one is the largest and most luxurious inn in this city.
When I arrived, I immediately let the shopkeeper boil hot water, and I opened an upper room for myself and Kun Yu, and I gave him some silver when I said goodbye to Ji Yao just now, and I think he will find a way to find a comfortable place for himself.
When I soaked in the bath bucket, I felt that the fatigue of my whole body was gone at this moment, it was really comfortable, I didn't take a bath for so many days, my body was about to get peeled, I washed my hair and wiped my body, and then I dried my body and wrung out my hair to rest in the house, my hair was wiped for a long time before I felt a little dry, and soon I was able to see Yan Beishen, I don't know how he is doing now after nearly a month and a half.
