Chapter 140: Robbery and Killing
Shangguan Ruixing saw that Lan couldn't stop Liang Yan.
This girl even dared to go on the road without waiting for the approval of the saint, which shows how fat she is bold.
So he had no choice but to send 20 dead soldiers with strong martial arts in the Shangguan family and escort more than 50 people to escort the righteous daughter on the road.
When the secret letter from the saint arrived, Shangguan Ruixing had no choice but to play the saint, and Liang Yan had already left. I just hope that she won't anger the saint because of this.
Liang Yan put the first batch of opium on top of the carriage, where she could reach it.
Her heart was surging, if things could develop in the direction she had planned, maybe the battle in the Western Regions would not have to be protracted......
This way, we must let her go to the Western Regions smoothly and let her find Li Xuanyi!
Busy on the road, they did not stop much throughout the day, only stopping occasionally to let the horses rest to eat some food and grass and drink some water.
The rest of the time is all in a hurry, and if you can get to the town at night, you will be in the town, and if you can't catch it, you will make do with the wilderness.
Liang Yan didn't care if the carriage was too bumpy, it was good to have a carriage to sit in these years! Even if she was dizzy, she didn't cry out tired.
The people who accompanied him saw that the airborne eldest lady of the Shangguan family did not have the squeamishness of ordinary children of the big family, and she could endure more than them all the way, so they had a better impression of her.
Not long after the group left the town, the dead soldier of the Shangguan family, who was escorting Liang Yan, suddenly stopped the carriage.
Liang Yan leaned on the window of the car and looked out, it wasn't time to rest today, right?
"But what happened?"
The dead man named Thirteen stepped forward and whispered outside the carriage window, "Miss, it seems that someone is following us." β
Liang Yan was stunned, "Are you sure?" Can you detect who it is? β
Thirteen said in a low voice: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." Our carriage carries the sign of the Shangguan family, and ordinary people's strongmen and thieves dare not rob the road. I'm afraid it's not easy to come! β
Liang Yan nodded, looking a little nervous, "Then let's take a detour and get rid of them!" Don't worry about me, let the horse be faster! β
Thirteen nodded, and ordered everyone to turn their horses' heads, change lanes, and move forward quickly.
Liang Yan was in the carriage, her hands tightly clinging to the table embedded in the bottom of the carriage.
Frowning and thinking about who would follow them halfway, did they want to rob money, or did they have a side purpose?
Suddenly I heard a long neighing from the horses.
The carriage paused backwards a few times, and was running forward, when it suddenly stopped, Liang Yan was caught off guard, and the back of her head hit the wall of the carriage.
She didn't remember to ask yet.
I heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air at a rapid pace.
There was the wailing of horses, and the screaming of men.
There is also the clanging sound of weapons colliding.
Liang Yan took out a silver needle from her arms and held it in her hand, her heart had already jumped to her throat.
"Miss, sit down!" Thirteen's voice shouted outside.
Liang Yan hurriedly grabbed a few pieces and stabilized her figure.
She couldn't see the situation outside, but she could hear the sound and knew that the battle must be very fierce.
"Rideβ" Thirteen seemed to abandon her horse, jumped into her carriage, and sped away in the carriage.
"Stop them and protect the eldest lady from leaving!" Thirteen commanded in a loud voice.
A shout of killing rushed out from the side of the road.
The Shangguan family's escort of Liang Yan was divided into two groups, one group stopped the black-clothed man who intercepted and killed. Another group desperately escorted the carriage out of the encirclement.
Liang Yan was almost tossed apart in the carriage.
She didn't know how many times her head had been knocked on the wall of the carriage, or on the basis of a few points, so that she thought she could see the shining stars in the broad daylight.
The voices of chasing the carriage and shouting to kill gradually faded away, and gradually became inaudible.
But the carriage did not dare to stop at all, and kept rushing forward desperately.
The centaurs were frightened, as if they were running tirelessly, and their tense nerves made them forget to rest and hunger along the way, and they had to flee!
It wasn't until nightfall that they were able to reach the town before the gates were locked.
Staying in a very spacious inn, everyone's tense nerves eased slightly.
It's just a group of people, and now less than half of them are left. And many of them were wounded.
Although Liang Yan had been hiding in the carriage and did not show up, she still hit her forehead, back, and elbow in the galloping carriage.
She had a bruised and swollen piece on her forehead, and her right arm and elbow were broken somewhere, and the blood that flowed out of her sleeves penetrated through her sleeves, which had already scabbed, and the sleeves were stuck to her arms, and when she tore them open, she was afraid that she would bleed.
Thirteen stepped forward, his face full of shame, "The protection of his subordinates is not good, please punish the eldest lady!" β
Liang Yan raised her eyes to look at him, "Where did everyone get hurt?" I have wound medicine here, you can take it and distribute it to everyone! β
Thirteen was slightly stunned, and raised his hand to take the wound medicine handed over by Liang Yan.
"If there's any liquor in the store, get me some." Liang Yan said again.
Thirteen nodded, and turned to ask the store for spirits. He bowed but did not mean to leave.
Liang Yan looked at him and said, "Is there anything else going on with Thirteen?" β
"The subordinates and others are not well protected...... "Thirteen whispered ashamedly.
Liang Yan nodded, "Those people who didn't come back today, you give me a list, I will write to Aya and ask Aya to treat their family well." I thought that the journey might not be too smooth, but I never thought that it would be so dangerous that I would let you take the risk with me, and I am really sorry. It's just that there is still a long way to go, I don't know how to do kung fu, and my life is in your hands! β
Liang Yan said, got up and bowed slightly to Thirteen.
Thirteen was stunned and hurriedly dodged, "The eldest lady can't help it!" We are all the favors of the Shangguan family, so that we can have today's people, and the lives are all of the Shangguan family, you are the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, and you are the master of our family! It's our duty to wait for the eldest lady to guard! I'm desperate, and I'll escort the eldest lady to Jingzhou! β
Liang Yan got up, "I still need your escort all the way, so if you apologize and ask for punishment, you don't need to say it again!" In this line, I only hope to support each other with all the gentlemen, and support each other in life and death! β
Thirteen straightened his face and bowed his hand to Liang Yan again.
"Go and rest, we have to go tomorrow." Liang Yan said.
Thirteen withdrew, and closed the door for her, but he did not go to rest, but gave the wounded medicine to his brothers, and came to her door, and remained stationed outside her door, although the gate was locked, and those who had stopped them should not have entered the town, but just in case. He still stayed outside the door, and it was more reassuring to be awake at night.
He kept watch for the first half of the night, and then he was replaced for the second half of the night.
Liang Yan got up early in the morning, and as soon as she pulled the door, a figure was sitting at the door, leaning on the door, and almost fell into the door, startling her.
The man touched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Miss? Let's hit the road? β
Liang Yan shook her head, "Don't rush first." β
Thirteen Xu heard the movement and hurried over.
After watching the man in the middle of the night, he rubbed his eyes, retreated to fetch water and wash his face, and wake up.
Liang Yan looked at the figure he was leaving, and then looked at Thirteen Dao: "Bothered!" β
Thirteen jaws, "It's all done by subordinates." β
Liang Yan thanked her, and then said, "There is a medicine list here, let's not rush to the road first, you let people buy these medicines." Don't buy at the same pharmacy, buy them separately. And a pair of saddles, and when I depart, I will not ride in a carriage, but will ride with you. β
Thirteen took the medicine list and was stunned when he heard the words, "Riding a horse, Miss, although you are riding a horse faster, but you are a woman after all, this road is windy and sunny, and the sand is flying......"
Liang Yan said in a low voice: "I can't help but because of the fast journey, I always feel that those people will not just show up this time and give up." Without the carriage, the goal is small, if we meet again next time, we will not let everyone be dragged down by the carriage. β
Hearing this, Thirteen raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were surprised, and he was even more moved.
Originally, the patriarch asked them to escort this eldest lady with a different surname, and they had no objections, what the master commanded, they just did it.
But along the way, the eldest lady can endure hardships and not shout tired, which really impresses them.
Yesterday encountered such a thrilling situation, the eldest lady not only did not cry or make trouble, but calmly came to comfort them and encourage them.
Now in order to reduce their burden, I am willing to collect more grievances.
A weak woman, not to mention how she used to be, has now become the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, but she can still put down her posture like this, which is really admirable.
"Miss! It doesn't have to be like this, it is our responsibility to escort the eldest lady to Jingzhou safely! How can you let the eldest lady ...... because of us?"
"You don't have to persuade me, in fact, I should learn to ride a horse, I used to lose face in the capital because I couldn't ride a horse, and now I can take this opportunity to exercise well, which is not a bad thing." After Liang Yan finished speaking, she smiled at him, "Please also ask Thirteen to buy the medicine quickly." β
Her smile is like the brightest sunshine in winter.
Thirteen felt that their eyes were illuminated by an inexplicable brilliance.
When he came back to his senses in a trance, Liang Yan was already sitting at the table in the room, grinding the pen, as if he wanted to write a letter.
He raised his hand to close the door.
And tear the medicine list into three parts, and let people buy them separately.
Asked to stay at the inn, he personally went to the horse market, and selected and bought comfortable saddles, bridles, horsewhips, and other things.
She can't ride a horse, but she dares to ride a horse?
I can only try to choose a comfortable saddle, but I am afraid that she will not be able to stand it if she can't make it to the next town, right? When the time comes, it would be good to change back to the carriage.
When Liang Yan bought the things she wanted, she also wrote a letter to Li Xuanyi.
Let Thirteen find someone, take the first step, go to the camp in Jingzhou, send it to Li Xuanyi, and ask him to send someone to answer.
Originally, she planned to go quietly, and did not let him know in advance, lest he object.
Unexpectedly, there would be robbers and murderers on the road, so for the sake of insurance, it would be safer for Li Xuanyi to send rescuers.
She asked people to grind the medicine they bought back into powder, and prepared a few tens of points of powder for everyone to take with them.
Although this powder is not fatal, it can be violently swayed out, it will be like a mist, as long as people inhale the mouth and nose, the whole body will be paralyzed, the hands and feet will be weak, and those who inhale more will even fall into a coma on the spot.
"Let everyone carry it with them in case they need it. Last time, I was unprepared and let everyone get hurt, so many people even ...... I feel guilty, too. With this powder, how much, it will always be better! Liang Yan said to Thirteen.
Thirteen carefully took the powder and put a few packets on himself.
Liang Yan said: "When you squander the medicinal powder, you must take advantage of it and hold your breath!" Remember! β
Thirteen said that he understood, and solemnly distributed the powder to the people who accompanied him.
