Chapter 47: The Family Separates
Jiang Cheng returned to Beijing to thank him, and asked for an order to move all the tragically dead relatives of the Jiang family to Liangcheng for burial.
The emperor was moved by his intention to defend the border city to the death, and immediately agreed.
Jiang Cheng moved the bones of his father and mother and the relatives buried on the Jiang family's exile road back to Liangcheng, and this time it took only three months.
At that time, Jiang Luo had just received a letter from him, and Jiang Cheng asked them to go to Liangcheng first, wait for him to go back, and worship the deceased relatives of the Jiang family together.
Jiang Luo felt a little sorry for Jiang Cheng, he was nineteen years old, and he was only an adult, and he was carrying so much.
They were about to leave Jiangjia Village, but the village was attacked by a group of bandits who appeared out of nowhere. Fortunately, the village was prepared for it, so it was not caught off guard.
It's just that the intrusion of the bandits delayed Jiang Luo's departure time. When Jiang Cheng took a boat all the way upstream, bypassing Anzhou and rushing to Liangcheng, he found that Jiang Luo and the others had not yet arrived.
After cleaning up the bandits, Jiang Luo set off for Liangcheng.
They took with them only a dozen or so retinues.
Autumn goes to spring, and everything recovers. Surrounded by green water along the road, green mountains send each other off, and spring flowers bloom early, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Shoots sprouted from the branches, and magpies chirped and chirped early in the morning.
Chen Xianyue was very happy, they and Jiang Cheng hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and since they were young, their brother and sister had never been separated for so long.
Jiang Ran was excited, and his hand carrying the package trembled slightly, "Sister, do you say that Liangcheng is prosperous?" ”
"It shouldn't be as good as the capital." Jiang Luo thought for a moment and answered her.
"Mother, shall we go to Liangcheng and return to Jiangjia Village? Are we living in Liangcheng with our eldest brother? ”
Chen Xianyue blamed her, "You girl is more steady, the city is not better than the countryside, besides, your eldest brother is already the Taishou of the good city, when you get there, you have to abide by the rules in every move, and you can't embarrass your eldest brother." ”
"I know, mother."
Jiang Ran held Jiang Luo's hand, not without envy, "My sister will be a serious Jiang family lady in the future!" ”
"The husband who marries in the future must be the best son in Liangcheng."
"Phew~" Jiang Luo slapped her hand away, "Sister wants to get married, don't take me, I'm still young, and I want to stay with my little mother and eldest brother for a few more years." ”
The carriage traveled through Wushicheng and continued to the northwest, and it was about two hundred miles away to Liangcheng.
At night, it was just getting dark, and they were preparing to stay at a roadside inn.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted, "The robbers are coming!" The robbers are coming! Run! ”
"Huh?" Jiang Ran was shocked.
At this moment, the crowd was already in chaos, and Jiang Luo immediately said, "Get out of the car and run with the crowd, the goal of the carriage is too big." ”
Chen Xianyue pulled the two sisters, escorted by a dozen or so entourages, and they fled in the direction of the crowd and fled without their lives.
Behind him, you can faintly hear the shouts of killing and the torches chasing after you.
Jiang ran out of breath, and the crowd dispersed. She and her entourage were scattered in the crowd, and at first Chen Xianyue and Jiang Ran could be seen. When they ran into the dense forest, the pedestrians couldn't tell who was who.
They did not dare to shout loudly, nor did they dare to light with a fire, for fear of being discovered by robbers.
Jiang Luo carried the package on her back and leaned beside her for a while, thinking that when the day dawned and the robbers dispersed, she should be able to find everyone.
The night passed in a state of anxiety, until dawn, when the passers-by began to call for friends and look for each other.
Jiang Luo turned around for a long time, but he didn't see a familiar figure.
Where did this group flee to? It's not all lost, is it? She wanted to go back to Jiangjia Village to see the situation, this place was too far away from Jiangjia Village, she had the strength to walk back, it was better to buy a fast horse in the town in front of her and rush to Liangcheng, and let Jiang Cheng send someone back to look for them.
Jiang Luo hammered his legs, which were slightly numb because he had been walking for half a day, and continued to walk forward resignedly, wanting to rush to the town before the sun set.
Because of the sudden appearance of robbers, you can see the town's officers and soldiers patrolling from time to time along the road, and the road is peaceful.
Jiang Luo successfully bought a jujube red horse, rested for the night, and continued to hurry.
On the way, many people from the direction of Liangcheng came to the inner city with their families, because they were disturbed by the turmoil for many years.
As for the robbers encountered that night, I am afraid that they were the work of the homeless.
Jiang Luo continued to hurry, and when she was about a hundred miles away from Liangcheng, she met a team of officials carrying grain and grass.
She stepped forward to ask for directions, and when the official saw her going out alone, he said politely, "The girl is also going to Liangcheng?" ”
"Then come with us, so we can protect you along the way."
"Yes, we are going to escort grain and grass to Liangcheng." The man in the lead was a fat man, five big and three thick, with a scimitar pinned to his waist and a beard on his face.
And all the people called him, the king.
Wang Tou'er looked Jiang Luo up and down, with kind eyes and kind eyebrows on his face, and he had a different kind of thought in his heart.
He had never seen such a standard beauty.
In the previous battle in Liangcheng, he thought that Beiyi was menacing and this battle would be lost, so he thought about how much grain and grass he sent over, but it was all waste, so he neglected it for a few days.
Jiang Cheng Jiang Taishou was furious when he learned of this, and this time he was named to personally escort the grain and grass to Liangcheng. He had already been worried all the way, for fear that Jiang Tai would be guilty of neglecting the military aircraft.
He came this time, with all his belongings, and all the gold, silver and jewels he had looted over the years were in the back box, and there were two beauties he had carefully selected in the carriage at the back of the procession.
But the woman he had bought for a lot of money was a world of difference compared to the woman who asked for directions.
His eyes rolled and his mind moved.
If this kind of stunning beauty is given to Jiang Taishou, maybe Jiang Taishou will be happy, and his sins will be forgiven.
Thinking of this, he motioned to his subordinates, and asked people to pour a cup of tea and hand it to Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo thought that since he was an officer and soldier who escorted grain and grass, he should be a soldier under the rule of his eldest brother, so he was defenseless.
She took the tea and drank it down.
At the entrance of the tea, she suddenly felt that the world was spinning and fell to the ground with a bang.
When Wang Tou'er saw her fall to the ground, he was distressed.
"Tie her up for me and put her in the carriage."
"Tie ...... Tie it lightly, but don't hurt ......"
"Boss, don't worry."
"But what about the two women in the carriage?"
Wang Tou'er waved his hand impatiently, "Leave one for the master, and the rest will be rewarded for you." ”
"Thank you, Boss!" Several people were overjoyed, hurriedly gathered in front of the carriage, and pulled down a relatively plain woman.
The woman was taken aback by their rude behavior and was begging for mercy when she was pushed back and forth in her arms by several officers and soldiers.
She screamed in fright.
Wang Tou'er completely ignored the absurdity of his subordinates in broad daylight, and only cared about explaining the remaining woman in blue in the car, "You! Take care of this girl. ”
"Yes, it's the official." The woman in blue choked back tears, trembling and kowtowing.
