Chapter 18: Gaining Wealth
Zhao Jun was extremely frightened at first, and when he heard that they just wanted two carriages, he was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Okay, good, for you, for you." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and jumped out of the carriage. As soon as he got off his horse, the mountain bandits roared and swarmed up.
They had just gotten into the carriage when they heard a puff of smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a group of sergeants rode up. Looking at the sergeants, the mountain bandits were in chaos and shouted in a chaotic manner: "It's too late. "Untie the horse, untie the horse." "Yes, no carriage, let's get out of here."
They were chaotic, but they acted quickly, and in three or two strokes, they cut the horse rope connected to the cart, lay on the back of four horses, and rushed in the direction of Feng Wan.
Zhao Jun, who didn't expect the sergeants to come so quickly, regretted it to the extreme: if he had resisted just now, the four horses would not have been lost. He was so angry that he shouted, "Stop them, stop them!" ”
He is loud, but the women and children present are weak, which one will listen to him? Even a few sturdy servants, a pair of feet could not run on four legs.
Seeing that the group of mountain bandits was getting farther and farther away, Zhao Jun was so angry that he fell to the ground.
The direction in which the mountain bandits rushed was where Feng Wan was.
These men, apparently disguised as peasants, rode in the posture of their horses, none of them were correct, they were riding, and two of them fell off their horses.
As they rushed, these people looked back at the smoke and dust behind them, and their voices were full of confusion and uneasiness. The yellow-faced man with the knife shouted, "Disperse, let's disperse and run." ”
His hoarse voice alerted the bandits. With a bang, they scattered in all directions, but they still rushed towards the mountains and forests at the same time.
The yellow-faced man was lying on his horse's back, flicking the reins indiscriminately, and looking back frequently. Maybe he was too nervous and scared, maybe his riding skills were too poor. Looking at it, the horse was rushing over a half-fallen tree when he was hit by a horizontal branch and fell to the ground with a thud.
The yellow-faced man rolled on the ground a few times, and after hitting two stones in succession, he screamed and fell into a trap set by an Orion, and in the blink of an eye, he could not hear a sound.
Something happened to the yellow-faced man here, and his companions were all rabble, and when they saw this, not only did they not come to the rescue, but they screamed at the same time and ran away.
At this moment, a figure flashed behind several large trees.
It was Feng Wan,
At this moment, her bearded clothes came into play. Running over briskly, Feng Wan picked up the messy grass and glanced into the trap. This trap was made simply, just a few bamboo thorns were inserted, and the yellow-faced man was firmly inserted into those bamboo thorns, covered in blood, and it seemed that he was dead.
Gritting his teeth, Feng Wan jumped into the trap one person high. She didn't care about being afraid, and reached out to the sleeve of the yellow-faced man's shirt and waist.
After a while, a burden tightly wrapped in a white cloth appeared in her hand. This burden is not big, that is, the size of a fist. Feng Wan opened it quickly, and there was a quaint wooden box inside, and as soon as the lid of the box was opened, in an instant, a stream of yellow golden light mixed with a bright jade light shot into her eyes.
In the baggage, it is a Luan phoenix waist wear. It is inlaid with gold, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, noble, and quaint.
It is a famous jade pendant of the Han Palace, which belonged to the concubines in the palace at that time.
Although this thing is small, its value is not small. Especially for Feng Wan, who is poor and white, and relies on Zhao Jun for food, drink, transportation and housing, it is extremely precious.
Neatly hiding these two things in his sleeve, Feng Wan stepped on the mud ladder dug by Orion, and quickly climbed up.
She had barely run fifty paces when a loud shout came from outside, "Madame, ma'am? "Wan Niang, where are you?"
Feng Wan hurriedly responded, "I'm here." She rushed out, and in front of the delighted crowd, she reached out and wiped the dirt from her forehead, and cried out hoarsely: "Master, master, those mountain bandits are so terrible! ”
How could Zhao Jun care about this? When he saw that Feng Wan was unharmed, he turned his head and talked to the leader of those sergeants. Throwing him deeply, Zhao Jun said loudly: "Fortunately, it was timely to come down, and Zhao is grateful." "Of the four horses that were robbed by the bandits, three have now been recovered. The loss of only one horse was a real surprise for him.
The leader nodded, and then a sergeant shouted, "General, the yellow-faced Hu Er is dead, and his body has fallen into the trap." ”
The leader nodded when he heard this, he said goodbye to Zhao Jun, and followed the sergeant to a tree, faintly, Feng Wan listened to him
Commanded: "Lift the corpse." By the way, the yellow-faced Hu Er has robbed countless people, remember to search for something on his body. ”
"Yes."
。。。。。。
"General, he doesn't have anything on him."
"Forget it, I don't think these pariahs will get anything good." This general, who had been shown off in front of them in Feng Wan's previous life, waved his hand indifferently and summoned all the sergeants to walk back.
Returning to the team with Zhao Jun, everyone put the carriage back on and set off with the sergeants.
These sergeants came to escort them after receiving the news that they were from the Fifth Highness. Fortunately, it came in time, otherwise Zhao Jun's small family property would have been lost in half.
Because only one carriage Feng Wan was sitting in was pulled by one horse, she got into Zhao Jun's carriage.
Zhao Jun was very excited, he frequently stretched out his head and talked to the general. Unlike his excitement, the handmaidens were a little flustered, and Zhao Jun revealed just now that he was going to sell two handmaidens in order to reduce the weight of the carriage.
In Feng Wan's original carriage, Rong'er frequently stretched out her head to look at Feng Wan, and at this time she was uneasy and regretful. If she had known that this would happen, she should have gone home to serve her mother.
Fu'er on the side was also looking at Feng Wan uneasily, she was also worried, Madame obviously didn't like her, in case she was sold, what would be good?
After Zhao Jun talked to the general, when he found that the other party did not have much power, he stopped his mouth in a daze.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Jun suddenly looked at Feng Wan and frowned, "Wan Niang, are you hiding something from me?" ”
Facing Feng Wan's puzzled eyes, he said unhappily: "In the past, if your husband had something to do, Wan Niang, you could always come up with ideas. After returning home for your husband this time, you seem to be a different person, silent, and you don't know anything. Even if something like that happened just now, you're not there. ”
He stared at her and said slowly, "Wan Niang, is something wrong with you?" Keep the words in your heart, it's better to take them out and explain them clearly to your husband. There was an unconscious tenderness and exculpation in his voice. He's excusing her, he's looking for reasons for her abnormality. This was not the case in the previous life.
