Chapter 32: There is a Situation!
Anyway, the two of them escaped from the clutches of Lord Yan without danger, as long as they can return to the Shizi Mansion smoothly, the twenty taels of silver will not be a loss, give it to her!
Sighing, Song Liangchen continued to walk forward, and couldn't help humming two tunes, no matter how calculated his father was, he shouldn't have thought that he would run away with the Gu family's carriage, right?
"Lord Wang, the prince and the princess have left the city, and it is estimated that they are going to Hengcheng."
In the Yanwang Mansion, the soldier arched his hand and said, "In half an hour, we will pass through Shouwu Mountain." ”
"Hmm." Lord Yan on the seat took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "Then get ready, the final result will be informed to this king." ”
"Yes."
Want to run? As the concubine of the Yan Wangfu, how could he run away so easily? Yan Wang Ye smiled, put the tea on the table, picked up the token next to him and rubbed it twice.
Finally ran out of the woods, and the beautiful scenery was already too tired: "Find a family to drink." ”
Song Liangchen looked around: "A few steps further on, there are farmers, can you still walk?" ”
Shen Meijing almost knelt down: "The legs of the concubine are no longer her own, why don't you just lie here and rest before leaving?" ”
"This is on the road, what is it like to lie down?" Song Liangchen pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to hug her: "Usually you don't look very lively, why don't you have the strength to take two steps?" ”
Two steps? They've come all the way, to say the least, it's two miles, okay? Meijing hugged his neck, his whole body collapsed in his arms, and muttered: "Usually you are still weak, who knows that you are stronger than a mule..."
Song Liangchen frowned: "Please compare me to a horse, the mule is too ugly." ”
Shen Meijing: "......"
I didn't expect this person to be a little funny, but it surprised her, and she thought that he would only pretend to be an uncle with a straight face.
Two or three places on the fence ahead, a hen led a flock of chicks past them. Song Liangchen looked at it, there was more than one family, and there were seven or eight households in the past, but it looked like a small village.
"Anyone?"
He shouted at the fence of the first house, and there was a sound from inside, and someone lifted the curtain and came out.
"What's the matter?"
It turned out to be a big man! The corners of Meijing's mouth twitched, thinking that this place should be guarded by old people, women and children, how can this strong man and this quiet village be a little incompatible.
"If you're passing by, please give me a drink." Song Liangchen smiled.
"Oh, passers-by." Dahan glanced at the beautiful scenery in his arms: "I'm still holding someone, then come in and sit." ”
"Thank you." Song Liangchen bowed his head and went in with the beautiful scenery.
Shen Meijing got out of his arms, picked up a small stool and sat down, and looked at the room. There are many medicinal herb shelves next to it, the smell of medicine is very strong, and there are cow tendon ropes hanging on the wall, presumably this person is a medicine picker.
There are abundant medicinal materials on Shouwu Mountain, and those who collect medicine need some strength to climb the rock and go down the cliff, so it is not surprising that men stay here.
"Whoa." The strong man came out with two bowls of water and handed them to them: "Are you two going up the mountain?" ”
"Well, if you want to go to Hengcheng, you can only pass through Shouwu Mountain." Song Liangchen took a sip of water and said, "Is there anyone around here who sells horses or mules?" My husband and wife have difficulty walking, so they have to buy a substitute for transportation. ”
"Seeing that the two of you are also rich and noble, where can you stand to go so far." The strong man smiled and said, "The Iron Bull family has mules to sell, how much silver do you give?" I'll ask him. ”
"He just makes an offer." Song Liangchen arched his hand: "Thank you." ”
The strong man nodded and went out, and after a while, he brought back more than a dozen people, all of whom were big men, and their bodies looked sturdy.
Meijing subconsciously hid behind Song Liangchen and whispered: "These people don't want to rob money, do they?" ”
Song Liangchen protected him, frowning and looking outside.
"Don't be nervous, Childe, they are just idle, I heard that there are nobles passing by, and they all come to see the fun." The strong man smiled, pulled someone in and said, "This is the iron bull, and the mule is parked outside." In addition, the dog also has a donkey to sell, depending on whether you want it. ”
Seeing that these people didn't look like bad people, Song Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I want them all." ”
The iron ox and the dog were very happy, and came in and said, "The mule is three taels of silver, and the donkey is more expensive, four taels." ”
Shen Meijing looked at these people curiously, reached out and took out ten taels of silver tickets: "Is there any silver looking for me?" ”
"That's not it..."A group of people looked at each other and said very embarrassed: "We are poor here, and we haven't seen much silver tickets, this ...... What should I do? ”
The strong man of the head family thought for a while, and said: "Otherwise, there are many thieves on this Wushan Mountain, your husband and wife will definitely be robbed if they go up like this, and a group of us will protect you across the mountain, so you don't need to look for this fraction, how about it?" ”
Meijing frowned: "It costs three taels of silver to escort the two of us?" How can it be so expensive! ”
"This life is precious, and silver is definitely nothing." Song Liangchen held her down: "As long as you can send us over this Wushan safely, there is no need to look for the silver ticket." ”
Loser! Shen Meijing glared at him, three taels of silver was more than the monthly money she had when she was a maid!
"Done." The strong man turned around and went to get the sickle and the cow tendon rope: "When we come back, we also happened to go to the mountains to collect medicine, brothers, take all the guys, let's give the two nobles a ride." ”
"Okay." A group of men answered, and they all went home to get the guys.
Song Liangchen pulled the beautiful scenery out, one sat on a mule, the other sat on a donkey, and tied the sleeves of the two animals together, barely able to go on the road together.
A group of men followed them, laughing and discussing where to go to collect the medicine.
"It's true that there are many thieves on this black mountain, don't worry about the silver." Song Liangchen glanced at the beautiful face, and couldn't help but smile: "If your life is gone, what is the use of silver?" ”
"Nonsense." Meijing pouted: "If there are really bandits, we have also passed by the palace twice, why haven't we met?" ”
"Are you stupid to be a bandit? The carriage we sat in had the logo of the palace on it, and people didn't want to open it to rob the carriage of the palace? Song Liangchen snorted lightly and said, "But now there are only you and me, it is better to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster." ”
It seems to be the same reason, the beauty spot nodded, and finally figured it out! What can't she figure out, anyway, Song Liangchen still has to give her twenty taels!
Thinking about it like this, my mood became more relaxed, and I continued to shake my legs and look at the road ahead.
There seemed to be a man standing at the end of the road.
With a sinking heart, Meijing pulled Song Liangchen's hand: "Our silver is really not in vain." ”
Song Liangchen even smiled: "Now you're not distressed, right?" ”
Is that the point! Shen Meijing glared at him and restrained the mule, and the group of big men behind him also closed their mouths, holding the guy in their hands and looking at the people in front of them.
"Brother passing by, leave a money to open the way!" The man at the end of the road carried a large knife and shouted.
The shouts of Ying He sounded in all directions in the woods, and the people did not show up, and they had already scared the two little fat sheep in the middle half to death.
"So many people?" Shen Meijing frowned.
Song Liangchen's expression was also solemn: "There are not many people, why are you embarrassed to come out to rob?" Aren't you afraid of being picked up by others? ”
But now they seem to be being taken away.
Meijing looked at the strong men behind her, and it was rare that they were not very flustered, probably they had met and knew what was going on.
Right now, there are trees all around, there are people blocking the road ahead, and I don't know if there is an ambush in other directions, what should I do?
Song Liangchen turned his head and said: "Brother, bother the five to go forward, go and give ten taels of silver to the person who asked for the price in front, if he still refuses to let go, then bother the rest to protect us to the north path." ”
"Yes!" The strong man of the head family arched his hand, led five people forward, negotiated a little, obviously the other side refused to let go, and seven or eight people appeared around and confronted the five big men.
"Let's go!" Song Liangchen took Meijing off the mule, and the rest of the people protected them and rushed towards the road to the north.
Unexpectedly... Pretty well-trained? Shen Meijing looked at the strong man running behind them and squinted.
"Nobleman, there is a small river ahead, and there is a bridge made of a single plank."
"I know." Song Liangchen said: "I am still familiar with Shouwu Mountain, if you want to live, just listen to my orders." ”
"Yes."
Meijing muttered in a low voice: "Why should you reply 'yes'?" Like subordinates, shouldn't normal people reply 'okay'? ”
Song Liangchen was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, and then said, "Don't worry about these for now, someone is catching up." ”
If the fat sheep wants to run, how can it be so easy? Four or five bandits chased after each other with knives on their shoulders, shouting from time to time, as if shouting for help.
Song Liangchen crossed the single-plank bridge with the beautiful scenery, and immediately said: "Cut this single-plank tree!" ”
Several strong men immediately picked up the sickle and axe in their hands and slashed towards the single-plank bridge. Seeing that the bandits had caught up and stepped on the bridge with one foot, the iron bull shouted loudly and cut the wood with an axe.
The bridge broke and fell into the river below, Song Liangchen said: "Keep walking, there is a mountain in a hundred steps up." ”
The bandits stood on the opposite side and immediately thought of a way to detour, and a group of people here did not dare to delay, and followed Song Liangchen to continue to climb the mountain.
"Nobleman, this mountain is their territory, let's run around like this, I'm afraid it won't work, right?" Someone said a word.
Song Liangchen said: "Don't say anything else, believe me." Tie Niu, you have a lot of strength, and you will be tired of moving more stones. ”
"Yes." Iron Bull answered.
Dogan climbs mountains especially fast and agile. Song Liangchen looked at him and said, "You don't have to wait for us, go over this mountain first, take my token and go to the nearest government mansion to find rescuers." ”
"Yes." Goudan took the token and ran quickly up the hill.
The rest of the men followed them up to the top of the mountain, and when they looked back, they saw that two or three bandits had followed.
"With more enemies and fewer enemies, don't panic." Song Liangchen nodded at the remaining people and said, "Take them down with me." ”
Tie Niu glanced at him suspiciously: "Nobleman, you are still holding a person here." ”
Still want to fight bandits?
