The carriage paused.

"Have you arrived?" Sandalwood raised her head in a daze, rubbing her sleepy eyes and asked.

"County Lord." Qin Gan didn't wait for Fang Xuan to ask, he had already approached and replied, "It's dark and the road is dark, and the rut has fallen into the pit, please take a break." ”

"It doesn't matter." Fang Xuan waved his hand, lifted his skirt and got out of the carriage, looking at the deep night on both sides of the road with great interest.

"County Lord, have a cup of tea to warm up." Sandalwood followed.

The night was cold, and it was a little cold.

Fang Xuan took the tea and took a sip lightly, Sandalwood couldn't help but look curiously into the forest with her gaze, "It's so dark, can the county lord still see clearly?" ”

"The heart is clear and the eyes are clear."

Here it again is, Sandalwood pouted, wondering if she had provoked the county lord somewhere, and the county lord always said strange things to her.

Also, she blames herself for not being good, that day the princess and the county lord went to the temple to make incense, if she followed closely, the county lord would not fall down the cliff, delayed the trip and failed to go to Beijing with Miss An, not to mention, the county lord also suffered a big crime, and fell asleep for two whole days......

She was about to turn to see the guards pulling the carriage when a flash of light flashed before her.

"What's that......"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves galloping and neighing in the forest, but in the blink of an eye, a circle of people emerged from the forest, and Hula surrounded the carriages and horses of the palace.

Sandalwood was stunned for a moment, unable to move.

There were a lot of people coming, and the shadows of the dark ground were indistinct, but from the restless snoring of the horses, it could be guessed that there were at least fifty people up.

The palace guards protected Fang Xuantuan, and the long knife on Qin Gan's waist had already been pulled out, staring at the human face reflected under the torch, his whole body tense.

He noticed that his palms were sweating.

The group of people in Yuyan Mountain became more and more bold, and they even dared to rob the car of the palace, so they were not afraid that the prince would send troops to clean it up in anger?

It's just that at the moment there are only more than ten of them, and the rest are all servants of the palace, basically without the strength to fight, this group of people is a strong horse, and their faces under the lights are particularly gloomy and terrifying, I am afraid that they have long been determined to do right with the palace.

Even if you rush out to ask for help, when the officers and soldiers of Zhongnan Mansion rush over, it will take an hour to hurry back and forth, and it will be too late for anything.

What's more, the county lord must not have anything to do......

What to do?

In a hurry, someone suddenly put his hand on his shoulder, Qin Gan's heart jumped, the hairs on his body stood up, and he raised his hand to swing the knife!

"Don't worry."

Fang Xuan stood behind him, gently comforted the leader of the guards, and then raised his head and looked directly at the person who came without hesitation, without the slightest look of panic on his face, and it could even be said that he was calm, as if he had already expected it.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her left hand, which was clenched into a fist, slowly loosened, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it came.

It's good to come.

Then she has nothing to fear......

Behind her, a woman who looked like a servant girl stepped forward silently and whispered, "There are too many of them, and there are ...... subordinates."

Fang Xuan nodded, and the maid took a step back silently.

Wang Laojiu's face was covered with a black cloth, and he also looked at the people in the palace behind him.

Judging from the number of angry lanterns and torches, there were about thirty people, most of whom were powerless maidservants and maids, and there were only about 20 people who needed to be greeted, including the coachman and the guards.

As expected, it didn't take much effort, but there was some trouble in dealing with the aftermath.

But it doesn't matter, when it's done, he will take the gold, silver and jewelry and go out to live happily, if the palace wants to settle the account, it is also counted on Yan Huai and them, who is still impatient to squat on a broken mountain all day long and suffer with them!

After making up his mind, he drove forward and whispered something to the leading bandit Tan Kui.

Tan Kui nodded, his exposed eyes were slightly cloudy, and he said to Fang Xuan and the others: "You are all smart people, you have to take money for your life, and you don't have to die for money." ”

His voice was hoarse, as if a crow was blocked inside, and Fang Xuan knew that it was because he had been injured in the throat by a fire.

"If you want to take the money, if you want the money, you won't die!"

As soon as the words fell, the bandits below roared, and the momentum soared, scaring Sandalwood into a scream, but his body was protected in front of Fang Xuan.

Since they dare to be so public, there must be people watching them within a radius of several miles, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties if they break through.

Broken and bloody, Fang Xuan never did loss-making business.

She waited quietly for the men to finish yelling, and took a half-step forward.

"The county lord can't!"

The leader of the guards was loyal, stretched out his long arm, stopped her movements, and said in a low and fast voice, "I will ask the county lord to follow when I make a move later." ”

These mountain bandits are all outlaws, and they have never lived under their hands before, so they are afraid that they will not be able to get any benefit if they hand over the silver taels.

Qin Gan's eyes swept around the surrounding situation, signaled his subordinates to protect Fang Xuan, and shouted in his mouth: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the people of the Qingwang Mansion, and we have no intention of disturbing this place, if you are for money, you have something to say, I just ask you heroes to look at the face of the palace and raise your noble hands." ”

Tan Kui's cloudy eyes seemed to flash a fine light, and then he "hissed" and laughed twice, "Since you are from the palace, what evidence do you have?" ”

The banner on the carriage was so obvious that he didn't recognize it when he said that.

Although there was a glimmer of hope, Qin Gan also knew that even if they moved out of the palace, it would not be of much use, since they dared to come, they must have already made plans, and now there is only one way to break through......

If he only took the county lord alone, he would still be a little sure.

Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to a path in front of his left hand, and was about to start, but Fang Xuan said loudly behind him: "I have heard that the scenery of Yuyan Mountain is beautiful, the mountains are endless, and there are magnificent scenery in it. ”

"County Lord......" Sandalwood swallowed and nervously tugged at her sleeve.

Fang Xuan smiled, his palm lightly covered the back of her cold hand, the warm fingertips made Sandalwood's heart settle, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that her own county lord was looking at the head bandit without the slightest panic.

"Oh?" Hearing her talk about the previous dynasty, Tan Kui was a little surprised, but his face remained calm, "The little girl knows a lot." ”

Fang Xuan was noncommittal, and said calmly: "Duan Ning went to Beijing this time because the Queen Mother was a thousand years old, and the silver she brought was not much, and it was mostly for fun. She said as she walked slowly to the high-top carriage behind her.

The bandit followed and took a step forward, and Qin Gan was tightly guarding her side, not daring to be careless.

"Open." Fang Xuan commanded.

The servant was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Fang Xuan, opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the two boxes side by side, Fang Xuan nodded, he got into the carriage, lit it with torches, took out the key and opened the iron lock tied to it.

Suddenly, I saw a golden and silver glow shining out, illuminating half of the night.
