Chapter 56: Xiao Wuyan who was hunted down
Shen Ru and Cui Ti naturally have no intersection, and Shen Ru also knows very well that he and Cui Ti are different from each other.
The road was getting harder and harder, the ground was slippery, and there were shallow puddles of potholes.
But if that's it, Shen Ru is also used to it, it stands to reason that civilians should avoid it when they encounter exile teams.
But how can a carriage pass by from time to time?
On a rare sunny day, although it was cold to death, Shen Ru's family still got out of the carriage and stretched.
It was also at this time that Shen Ru suddenly saw a man riding by on horseback, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a strand of red hair floating out of his turban.
This is...... Fanbang people?
"Lord Chen, how far is this from Liangzhou?"
"Looking at the map, it should be nearly a thousand miles away, if you travel fifty miles a day, you can get there in more than twenty days."
Chen Qing replied, but looked at the team, the current progress, almost thirty miles a day, and if you are detained in a snowy day, you can get there in about a month.
"Then Liangzhou is at the border with Fanbang?"
Shen Ru asked again, "Are the two places interoperable trade?" β
"Huh!"
Chen Qing sneered, "Miss Shen is worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis Mansion in the capital. β
"Huh?"
Shen Ru looked at Chen Qing in confusion.
"So naΓ―ve!"
"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Fanbang are all barbarians who drink the blood of Maoru and have a strange appearance. Isn't trading with these people opening the gates of my big end for the barbarians to enter? β
Shen Ru listened to Chen Qing's indignant rhetoric, and said leisurely:
"The man who rode over just now seems to have red hair, sunken eyes, and a high nose!"
"What? Fanbang people came in? β
Chen Qing was shocked, then frowned, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
"Even if it's true as you say, it's none of our business."
Shen Ruben also thought that this was just an accident, and after the exile team stopped for a while, they continued on the road.
Arriving at the inn in the evening, as before, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, in the second half of the night, Shen Ru suddenly noticed that someone had entered the place of detention, but it was dark, she didn't see who was coming, and it wasn't towards them, so she didn't think much about it.
It's just that on the second day, next to his own carriage, there was a person standing, Shen Ru couldn't help but widen his eyes, what's going on, why is Liangzhou Thorn Shi here?
"Lord Xiao?"
Shen Ru saw that Xiao Wuyan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to test it.
This can't be a stranger with the same face!
Chen Qing walked over with Yi Cheng.
Yi Cheng looked nervous, and leaned forward and whispered: "This Miss Shen, Lord Xiao is an important minister of the imperial court, but she was hunted down and killed by the Fanbang people, so she blended into the exile team. β
"Shen Ru, how can Lord Xiao walk with the exiles, naturally he wants to get into your carriage, and you have no right to refuse this matter."
Chen Qing also spoke.
"Naturally, it's a fit, that...... Lord Xiao, please! β
Shen Ru immediately smiled, ha, it's time to get closer.
Soon, there was silence in the carriage.
The carriage space is limited, and naturally it is impossible for Xiao Wuyan to sit alone, but there is really a vacant seat next to him.
Shen Ru's parents looked at Xiao Wuyan, although they were exiles, after all, they were all Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Fu before, but they didn't lose that momentum.
"You blended in with the exiles, what about your men?"
It was Shen Ru who broke the silence with his mouth.
"Luneng pretended to carry me in the other direction."
"Oh, just let him lure away the assassin who killed you, but sooner or later he will be exposed!"
Shen Ru said.
"But there are so many people here, even if they find out that you are mixed in in the end, they are not afraid."
"Aru, you don't want to escort this adult!"
Aunt Lian deliberately exclaimed, no matter which adult this is, the most important thing is to know that they have this heart.
Xiao Wuyan glanced at Shen Ru.
"You're very good at martial arts?"
"Generally, it's just self-preservation."
Shen Ru said modestly, "The main thing is that there are many officials here, and there are also many exiles, even if they know that you are mixed in, they will not come to the exile team to search for it!" β
Unless everyone is killed, the news of Fanbang's assassination of Liangzhou Assassin will soon spread.
When the time comes, I'm afraid that there will be disputes between the two countries!
"Why not?"
Xiao Wuyan said, "I hope they won't suspect this, otherwise, it will be a fierce battle." β
"Huh?"
Shen Ru was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that the entry of Fanbang people will be known?" β
"If you kill them, you won't know!"
"So many, all killed?"
Shen Ru was shocked, what about the more than 800 people, even if the life of the exile is not worth it, but what about the official errand?
Xiao Wuyan didn't answer, but apparently acquiesced.
"Heh, then when the time comes, I'm really going to get to know these Fanbang people."
If that's the case, Shen Ru feels that he has to do it with all his might!
"Lord Xiao, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
When Shen Ru said this, Xiao Wuyan was silent again, Shen Ru was a daughter of the Hou Mansion, and his tone was so big!
The procession had been on the march for two days, and nothing had happened, but as the third day approached noon, there were noticeably more horses galloping along the official road.
Chen Qing told the other officials to be careful, he also knew Xiao Wuyan's identity, so he definitely couldn't let Xiao Wuyan die in the exile team.
Most of the exiles didn't know that there was an extra man in Shen Ru's carriage, but the Shen family knew about the second and third rooms.
It's not far away, and Yang has always wanted to sit in the carriage, how could he not know that there was an extra man in the carriage?
"Do you know who the man in the carriage is?"
In his free time, Yang muttered to Shen Ming.
"I don't know, Shen Ru, a slut, found a man for himself?"
Shen Ming said hatefully.
"Inside the carriage, everyone in the big house is there, if it is Shen Ru's man, it will be too shameless, and the two children are still so young!"
Shen Fu also tried his best to bury Shen Ru, and even said a lot of ugly things.
When he arrived at the post station at night, Fu Bo, who went to stop the carriage, told Shen Ru that something was wrong with the people in the post station, and there were a few more horses behind him, which didn't look like a local one.
"Something is wrong?"
Shen Ru repeated, and immediately said: "Then, Fu Bo, from now on, don't eat anything at the post station, I suspect that the people at the post station are all controlled!" β
"That'...... Want to remind others? β
"Well, remind the Cui family's guards, I think they are good."
As for the official errands, there are many people, it depends on whether Chen Qing is so keen!
Except for Xiao Wuyan's place of detention at the beginning, in the next few days, at the post station, he still had his own residence.
Therefore, when Fu Bo informed her of the incident, Shen Ru comforted her parents and siblings and went to the guest room.
"Shen Ru, what are you doing?"
Xiao Wuyan was changing his clothes, and Shen Ru suddenly broke in, which made him even more angry.
"Why do you change your clothes as soon as you arrive at the post station, I think you may be in danger tonight, so, come and protect you!"
Shen Rucheng said, his eyes glistening!
