Chapter 177: Accidents on the Road
Lan Jing'an said to Bi Luan again: "Bi Luan, I have asked Yun Niang to bring a hat and pretend to be you, just say that you and I are injured, and I don't want to talk to others." I also told her that when she changed carriages, she should be very careful and never let the news go. With Xue Wei's cooperation, it shouldn't be okay. ”
Bi Luan then understood why when Lan Jing'an left Xiangyang, she not only brought her a maidservant, but also specially selected Yun Niang, who was similar to herself, from the General's Mansion to accompany her quietly, and asked her to hide in the cabin in advance. It turned out that the girl had already made a plan.
Feng Shen still didn't understand why Lan Jing'an was so persistent, and he had to take such a big risk to pass through Dayong's territory just to reach Jizhou a few days earlier. Biluan counted the days, but understood her thoughts.
Despite all the worries, Bi Luan still reached out and dragged Feng Shen and taught him a lesson: "When will the decision made by the great priest be able to accommodate you and me?" Let's take care of the big priest. Since we have decided to go by road, I think it would be better to leave earlier. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled at Bi Luan, and then pulled her to find a secluded place to change into men's clothes. In addition to changing men's clothes and hairstyles, Lan Jingan also asked Biluan to put makeup on the two of them and apply some plaster. When the two appeared in front of Feng Shen again, Feng Shen really couldn't see the girlish aura on the two of them.
The three of them set off quickly, only Feng Shen still had a sad face, he always felt that it was too unsafe to do so. What he didn't know was that Lan Jing'an had not been a famous lady in Yonghua City since she was a child, and there were no less women dressed as men before and swaggered through the market with blue luans and blue kites.
In addition, she had accumulated enough experience when she fled from Yonghua City last time, and this time she was even more familiar with the road. Along the way, Lan Jing'an was like a bird flying into the deep forest, indescribably happy. The three of them were cautious, only picking up the path that had no checkpoints, but they really didn't encounter any interrogation.
The three of them hurried up, and by August 11, they had safely passed through Yuzhou and Yanzhou and entered the territory of Jizhou. Lan Jing'an calculated the itinerary, and he should be able to reach Julu in two days, and he was overjoyed in his heart.
Due to the war, the identity of the official road in Jizhou was more intensive. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Lan Jing'an completely abandoned the official road and went to a remote place that was inaccessible.
On this day, Lan Jing'an and the three of them walked to a forest near Fanyang, the forest was full of branches and bushes, and the three of them were urging the horse to pass carefully, who would have thought that the tripping rope suddenly stretched out from the forest, and the three of them had not seen clearly, and they had already fallen on their backs. A group of gangsters roared out of the forest, and they couldn't help but say that they trapped the three people with ropes.
Originally, with the martial arts of Biluan and Feng Shen, they were not afraid of Jiangyang thieves, who would have thought that the two might as well stumble and fall heavily on the ground. Before he had time to get up, he had already asked people to hold a knife around his neck, where could he fight back.
Lan Jing'an did everything he could, but he didn't expect that he would be planted in the hands of a group of bandits, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart. She only hoped that this group of people was just trying for money, and they took the gold and silver and left, but she never thought that this group of bandits was not the green forest thieves who were rampant on weekdays, but the Dayong deserters who stole away from the giant deer battlefield.
This group of people was used to being ruffians in the past, greedy for life and afraid of death, and cowered when they went to the battlefield; Robbing the road here and bullying passers-by from the north and south is full of courage. However, this group of bandits didn't know Lan Jing'an, and the reason why they attacked the three of them was because the three of them came on horseback.
Now the war between Dayong and the cadres is tight, horses are more expensive than grain, and a horse can be sold for a large price. In addition, in order to make it convenient for the three to hurry, they all rode fast horses, which made these soldiers even more overjoyed.
The bandit leader was still circling the trio's horse, calculating how much it would sell. Over there, his subordinates had already turned the burden of Lan Jing'an and the others upside down, and in the baggage, a small sign fell out. The subordinates hurriedly handed it to their boss as if offering a treasure: "Big boss, I flipped through this, how much money do you think it's worth?" ”
The soldier ruffian frowned when he saw the sign, and the two thief's eyes kept turning. He had been a centurion before, and he knew more than all his brothers. He recognized this small sign as the talisman of the dry army, and with this thing, he could unblock the land of the dry army.
The ugly-looking ruffian laughed, pointed to the three of them, and said, "Brothers, now we are developed. That sign is the symbol of the Qianjun, and I think these three people must be the scouts of the Qianjun. If they were to be tied up at Fanyang Yakou, they might not be able to get a lot of bounty. ”
As he spoke, he also leaned over to Lan Jing'an: "Come, brothers, search the bodies of these three people again, if there is a letter or something, it is estimated that it will be more valuable." ”
Lan Jing complained bitterly in peace of mind, this is really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs. At this time, she began to regret why she didn't bring two more people. Especially Qiu Shaoze, why did he let him leave early?
But it was too late to say anything, and the only thing she could do now was bite her lip. In case as soon as he opened his mouth, his daughter was discovered by these gangsters, and then he brought out the things on the side, it would be even worse.
At this moment, I saw a few masked people jumping out of the bushes unexpectedly, and I couldn't help but say that it was a blow to this gang of bandits. Although the masked man's martial arts are not as good as Bi Luan's, they are more than enough to deal with this kind of unruly ruffian. Even though there were few people, after a fight, the bandits were driven away.
However, when the bandits left, they did not forget to steal the horses, and the masked men chased after them, and only one horse was recovered. Lan Jing'an was very surprised, such a wilderness forest, there was no village in front and no store in the back, how could a few masked people suddenly rush out? And the masked men were obviously coming at the three of them, but they didn't know if they were friends or foes.
Lan Jing'an didn't understand it, but saw that the knife of one of the masked men had already stretched out towards Biluan. She was shocked, couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "What are you going to do?" ”
The masked man with the knife did not answer, and the other masked man had already crouched in front of her and held out his hand to her. Lan Jing was in despair for a while, this can be regarded as just getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.
To her surprise, the masked man who reached out just came over and gently untied the rope for her. When the restraints on Lan Jing'an's body were gone, she found that the person holding the knife had already picked the rope for Bi Luan, but he still had the knife across Bi Luan's neck. And Feng Shen was simply still tied there.
Lan Jing'an had a calm face and said to the masked man who untied the rope for her: "Thank you also for the strong man for driving away the strong men." It's just that I don't know what a few people mean by holding knives at us like this? ”
The masked man's voice was a little hoarse and tired, but he still said respectfully, "Don't get me wrong. This servant girl under yours is an extraordinary martial artist, and when our men retreat farther away, we will let them go. ”
After speaking, he beckoned the other masked men to hurriedly retreat from where they came. When everyone disappeared, he and the person who raised the knife and pointed at Biluan turned around and fled into the deep forest.
