Volume 1 Chapter 7: Murderous Spirits, Horses Neigh!
Early the next morning.
An old farmer in old linen clothes, pulling a dilapidated ox cart, slowly walked towards the city gate.
"Stop!"
"What are you doing out of town?"
The two soldiers defending the city stopped Sun Lao Nong and had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths.
Sun Lao Nong said with trepidation: "My lord, I will go to work in the fields. ”
"Why are there two big baskets in the car?"
A soldier stretched out his broadsword and slapped it on a basket covered with a black cloth.
Old farmer Sun bowed his head and said, "The basket is used to hold corn. ”
After speaking, Sun Lao Nong took out a cowhide bag from the bag hanging on the old cow.
"My lord, this is my home-brewed rice wine."
The defenders of the city lit up and snatched the cowhide bag.
He smiled and waved his hand, "Old man, let's go quickly!" ”
Only then was Sun Lao Nong able to leave the city gate.
He pulled the ox cart and walked straight for more than ten miles.
However, instead of coming to the cornfield, Mr. Sun kept moving along the road.
After stopping the ox cart, he lifted the black cloth that covered the entire basket and said hoarsely:
"Miss, Master Meng, we are safe."
In the next second, Meng Liangfeng stood up from one of the big baskets.
Jing Yi also stood up from another large basket.
Meng Liangfeng jumped off the ox cart first, and then slowly helped Jing Yi, who looked haggard, to come down.
He turned to face Old Farmer Sun and said gratefully, "Thank you for sending us out of the city." ”
When Sun Laonong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand.
On his withered face, which was as yellow as a fallen leaf, a line of tears fell.
"Back then, if it weren't for the kindness of the old family owner who took me in, our family of three would have frozen to death that winter!"
"Three generations of our family have also eaten in the Jing family."
"Although, because of my old age, I have long since stopped doing chores at the Jing family."
"However, I have always remembered the love of the year!"
"This time the Jing family suffered a catastrophe, I ......"
Sun Lao Nong wiped the tears on his face with his shabby sleeves, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Jing Yi also sobbed quietly.
People like Sun Laonong and Jing Yi are probably thousands of people in the world.
Meng Liangfeng only felt sad.
He doesn't aspire to change the whole world, and he doesn't have the strength to do so now.
Meng Liangfeng stretched out his hand and hugged Jing Yi into his arms, he only hoped that the people around him could always have a smile on their faces!
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Could it be that the Qian family's guards and guest secretaries, or Chu Duwei's subordinates are chasing after them?!"
Meng Liangfeng's nerves instantly tensed like a full moon bowstring.
If, of course, he was alone, he was not afraid of those people.
However, now that Jing Yi and Sun Lao Nong were by his side, Meng Liangfeng had to get nervous.
And the ox cart will definitely not be able to outrun the horses!
Old farmer Sun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he said in a panic:
"Young Master Meng, Miss, quickly enter the basket!"
However, the sound of horses' hooves approached, faster than they had imagined!
Meng Liangfeng and Jing Yi had just climbed into the ox cart and had not had time to enter the basket.
There were already five horsemen, and after turning a corner, the three of them were immediately spotted.
Meng Liangfeng simply let Jing Yi stand behind him.
The muscles in his body were tense, and he was ready to summon the embroidered winter knife at any time, ready to fight to the death.
Soon, the five cavalrymen at the front surrounded the three of them.
Both sides were tense, but neither took the lead.
Meng Liangfeng looked at the armor on those cavalrymen, and had some doubts in his heart.
The armor on their bodies is the same style.
Well, in all probability, they are real enlisted cavalry.
However, their armor is very different from the armor of the soldiers under Captain Chudu!
What's going on?
When Meng Liangfeng was thinking, a gorgeous carriage hung with brocade silk came.
Around the carriage, there were seven horsemen.
Five men in armor followed behind the carriage.
On the left is a handsome young man, holding a horse's reins in his left hand and a white fan in his right.
On the right is a burly and sturdy man with a serious and meticulous expression.
They all saw the situation on Meng Liangfeng, Jing Yi, and Sun Laonong's side.
The sturdy man was relieved to see that the three of them did not even have a weapon.
He stared at his guards, frowned, and said, "How many times have I told you, don't scare the common people!" ”
When the guards heard their master's words, they slowly pulled their horses back.
Just when Meng Liangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, the young man who was holding a white fan suddenly rode forward.
Meng Liangfeng's heartstrings suddenly tightened again.
The young man didn't seem to see Meng Liangfeng, and his gaze fell directly on Jing Yi's body.
"Girl, under Li Junyi, he is the eldest son of the Li family in Jiangnan."
"I don't know, can the girl tell me your name?"
Li Junyi's voice was as gentle as jade.
He is the kind of good match that can make many young women miss their hearts.
Meng Liangfeng gritted his teeth.
He thought to himself: "You kid is really looking for death!" ”
"Dare to talk to my woman in front of me!"
"I really can't bear this!"
However, I have to say that this is also because Jing Yi's appearance is too outstanding.
After all, even His Royal Highness, who has read countless women, is full of praise for Jing Yi's appearance.
In addition, Jing Yi's expression is gloomy now, and she is not as lively and cheerful as she is at her age.
This is the most protective in men!
Meng Liangfeng's heart was uncertain, did he want to make a move?
If you really want to make a move, it will definitely hurt Jing Yi and Sun Laonong!
Jing Yi's heart was as careful as a hair, and she immediately understood that Meng Liangfeng was in a dilemma.
Jing Yi grabbed Meng Liangfeng's wrist and motioned for him to speak.
She took a step forward and said softly, "Gongzi Li, look up for a long time." ”
"My name is Jingyi, this is my ......"
Jing Yi glanced at Meng Liangfeng, and then immediately lowered his head.
She blushed and said, "This is my husband - Meng Liangfeng"
The two did not officially get married, but Jing Yi was willing to call Meng Liangfeng so to outsiders, which made his heart hot.
Hearing this, Li Junyi was extremely angry in his heart.
He glanced at Meng Liangfeng, who was dressed in black cloth, and there was nothing of value on him.
Jing Yi looked haggard again.
In Li Junyi's mind, Meng Liangfeng must have bullied Jing Yi often!
His eyes erupted with fire and said, "Miss Jing, where can this kid be worthy of you!" ”
"A beautiful girl like you should stay in the boudoir or compound and have fun with her family."
"Even if you go out, you should take a carriage."
"How can you ride such a filthy ox cart with him!"
However, what Li Junyi didn't know was that what he said about "being happy with his family" just hit Jing Yi's heartache.
Jing Yi's tears fell down all of a sudden.
No matter how old farmer Li persuaded him, it was useless.
Meng Liangfeng's face was pale, and he stared at Li Junyi.
"Get out of here!"
In an instant, murderous aura, and the horses neighed!
