Chapter 41: Halfway Crisis
It takes about a day to get from Mocheng to Qingyuan, so it takes about a day to get back to Mocheng from Qingyuan.
So not long after I rode away from Qingyuan with Yan Beishen, I realized a problem, I was afraid that I would have to sleep in the wild with Yan Beishen tonight.
"Woo ......," Yan Beishen pulled the horse rope and stopped.
Now the two of us have arrived at the tea house where we passed before, and the second child in this tea house recognized me when he saw me.
"Girl, it's you again, please take a seat."
Although this little two warmly entertained me, there was something different in his eyes, his eyes looked back and forth between the two of us, and he estimated that he misunderstood me and Zhu Si yesterday, and now he saw me and other men together.
It is estimated that his mind is now full of some bloody plot stories.
This tea house is the only resting place between Qingyuan and Mocheng, and there are still many people who rest in it when they don't think of this.
After Yan Beishen and I sat down, the eldest brother with a knife on one side suddenly became embarrassed at the scholar in the other seat.
"Drink tea, drink tea, recite what sour poems, I don't know if it hurts people's brains?"
At this time, the scholar who was holding a teacup as a wine glass on the side was not timid at all, but glared at the big man, and then put down the teacup and poured himself a new glass.
It seems that this scholar is not a simple person, although he is dressed plainly, the jade pendant on his waist is indeed a rare object, and although it is far away, he always feels a little similar to the Ziyu that Qin Chi gave me at the beginning.
"He who has many tongues should not keep his tongue." Unexpectedly, the scholar drank all the tea, and actually hit the big man's hand with the teacup in his hand, and the big man got up in anger and wanted to draw the knife and step forward, but he didn't have time to draw the knife at all, the scholar was so fast that he had already arrived in front of him, and then the big man fell down in an instant.
No, so many people are here, this scholar actually dares to kill people!
Although I was surprised, I also knew that this scholar was by no means a person to provoke, so I had to remain as quiet as everyone else, while the shopkeeper and Xiao Er of the tea house trembled forward to check the situation of the big man.
"I can't die, but I can't keep my tongue." What a light sentence, as if he was doing a very ordinary thing.
But the most nosy person on weekdays got up and walked over to my surprise.
What does Yan Beishen want to do?
"I haven't seen you for many years, why are you getting more and more irritable."
"Second brother, I thought you had amnesia and even I forgot about it, it seems that the medicine of the cold god doctor is not so powerful."
Second brother? What's going on?
"I knew you would be back in Meaux in the near future, but I didn't expect you and me to run into each other like this."
After that, the scholar fed the big man some medicine, and then he didn't know what to say to the big man, and the big man actually showed panic after hearing it, and then fled with his tail between his legs without even holding him accountable.
Why did I come back this time, there are more and more people I don't know, and I feel that my brain capacity is a little unable to keep up.
"This woman looks like your first princess, second brother, how did you meet?" This man actually knew me, but I didn't remember him at all, and I clearly felt that although he was suspicious of me, his attitude towards questioning was not aggressive.
"I'll explain to you later, let me ask you where did you get this jade pendant?"
Yan Beishen finally asked the topic to the right path, but this scholar didn't plan to explain now, but instead said, "Long Shili, that demon is still planning to entangle you, why don't Yu Heng take care of it, is Yu Heng already dead to Long Shi Li?" ”
I also said that others have a lot of tongues, this person is afraid that he has more tongues than the big man just now, but the means are vicious and frightening, I even think that no one should offend this kind of person, it seems that people and animals are harmless, but in fact, they can scare people into fear.
"He's Zeqing, my youngest brother." Yan Beishen introduced me in a timely manner, Zeqing, this name is a bit elegant.
I always thought that Yan Beishen only had two brothers, Yan Dingchen and Yan Zituo, but I didn't expect him to have such a younger brother, but I had never heard him mention it before.
We didn't stay long in the tea house, and after about half an hour, Yan Beishen took me and Zeqing and left.
"Second brother, in fact, we haven't seen each other for many years, how can you be so sure that I am Zeqing, hasn't my face changed all these years?"
"Your eyes drift to me from time to time when you drink tea, and you used the tricks I taught you to deal with that rough guy before, are you old when I am old?"
Zeqing smiled, "Second brother, you and I only got along for a month back then, but among the brothers, I admired you the most, I thought you were dead, but then you asked me to join King Kang's Mansion to help, and at that time I knew that you were not an ordinary person." ”
King Kang's Mansion? This Zeqing actually entered King Kang's Mansion once, could it be that he once pretended to be Yan Beishen?
This doubt remained in my mind, and now the speed at which the two brothers rode horses was simply turtle speed, and if they wanted to chat, they couldn't talk in the previous tea house, so they had to waste time on the road.
After walking slowly for a while, the three of us came to a mountain col, which had been passed by Zhu Si and his horses at a rapid pace during the day, and now it was more and more uneasy to look at it at night.
And the horse was also restless at this time, but Yan Beishen and his younger brother stopped.
"Second brother, I didn't expect that there would be people in this kind of place who would be ambushed, I don't know if it's against you or me."
"No matter who they deal with, their wishful thinking is wrong."
After saying that, countless arrows were actually shot at us from high in the air, and Yan Beishen quickly lowered my body, and he jumped away from the horse.
Zeqing next to him also immediately left the horse's back at this time, and then the arrows that were originally in all directions stopped.
"Let's go!"
I didn't even have time to react, Yan Beishen quickly slapped the horse's buttocks, and then my whole body was carried away from the col by the horse.
"Yan Beishen, your uncle!"
I can't think of anything else than saying this, and it's true that he was trying to save my life.
The horse galloped for most of the mile, and finally stopped exhausted, and I had no idea where I was, as if it were neither the way to Qingyuan nor the way back to Meaux.
"Big brother, how about this woman leaving you to be a cottage lady?"
Somehow, I was about to find my way back to the right path when a lot of people with torches appeared next to me.
"The woman who has been played by the Qing King and the former prince is just average."
It turned out that the crisis in the col before was not to deal with Yan Beishen and his younger brother, their target was actually me!
I didn't even notice when they were ambushed here, or when they followed me along the way.
"How much?"
If I ask them who is behind the scenes, or who you are, then I am looking for death, and I only hope that I can delay for a while.
There were three men in front of me, one of whom was very fat with a thick gold chain around his neck, and the other two were skinny.
"What do you mean?" My words still aroused the confusion of the eldest brother.
I cautiously stepped back and backed, "How much does it cost for you to let me go, I won't ask who sent you, I don't want to know where you came from, you're just asking for money, I can give you more, and I promise not to let people know I'm alive." ”
The thin man on the left who said that he would press me up the mountain to be the lady of the village said with a fierce face, "Are we begging for food in Heiyun Village?" ”
Well, it's really enough to be a bandit and a thief above this.
"Idiot, who told her that we were from Heiyun Village?" The big brother violently pushed the thin man to the ground.
Behind me is a low field, and I fell about two or three meters, but I couldn't escape by jumping down here, and I would hurt myself, how should I escape?
"It's for you, it's all for you." Money was of course more important than life, and I took out all the pieces of silver and tickets on my body, but apparently they were not moved.
The big brother hit me with his hand, and all the money in my hand fell to the ground.
"Someone said, if you want your life, after the matter is completed, Heiyunzhai will be able to eat and drink without worrying for three years, you have enough money to fart!"
I can't imagine that my southern kite's life is so valuable, who would spend such a lot of money to kill me, the only possible one is Long Shili, it seems that she knows my whereabouts well, but I didn't calculate that she would arrange a group of bandits to kill me.
Wait, no, the only place Long Shili can know where I'm going is Yu Heng, could it be that this trip is actually a slaughter of me, but Yu Heng won't do this to me.
"Say, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, we can help you fulfill them."
"Is the person who gave you money in a wheelchair?"
The leading brother was stunned for a moment, and slowly spoke, "How do you know, his name is Yu Heng, and he is still a high-ranking official in Mocheng, he said that after you die, he asked us to paint your face." ”
Hehe, Long Shili, you are really smart but you were mistaken by cleverness, and you actually found a group of such stupid people.
Just as the bandit was about to say something, I had secretly pressed the Hidden Arrow on my right hand, and then an arrow shot straight into the eyes of the big brother.
"Ahh The sharp pain caused the bandit to lose his balance and fall to the ground fiercely, and the two minions immediately went to check on the big brother's injuries.
It was too late to get on the horse, so I could only run crazy with my own strength, but what I didn't expect was that half a minute later, the whole person was kicked straight.
I overestimated my own abilities and underestimated the strength of the other party, and I was kicked to the ground, and my elbows and palms were covered in blood, and my teeth were bared in pain.
"There is actually a hidden weapon, see if I don't waste your hands!"
Then the bandit who kicked me stomped on my palm, and then stepped on it twice in succession, I guess my hand is really going to be useless.
