Encounter bandits

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Northland military camp, everyone's tense nerves were also relaxed.

On this day, near evening, everyone rested on a flat ground by a river.

Several guards quickly set up several tents for everyone to rest.

Due to the limited supplies, Zhao Sichen and Sun Guanyu's handmaidens rested in the same tent.

She didn't care.

On the contrary, several of Sun Guanyu's maidservants were trembling, serving Zhao Sichen very thoughtfully, and squeezing into a corner of the tent every night when they slelt, trying to leave as much space as possible for Zhao Sichen.

Zhao Sichen felt uncomfortable in his heart, and told several handmaidens many times that she was not their master and did not need to be restrained.

However, these handmaidens who can travel with Sun Guanyu are all born to the family, and they have been slaves for generations, and serving their masters has been engraved into their blood and bones.

Zhao Sichen said it many times, and found that there was no use, so she could only go with them.

Zhao Sichen trimmed slightly, washed his hands and face, got out of the tent, and walked slowly along the river, enlivening his body.

Sun Guanyu saw Zhao Sichen and followed with a smile.

After this convoy, the only two masters were Zhao Sichen and Sun Guanyu.

Zhao Sichen either meditates and vomits every day, or reads a book to relieve boredom.

Sun Guanyu chatted with Zhao Sichen many times, but the growth background and living habits of the two are very different, and all they can say is business experience.

Although Sun Guanyu is smart, he often reveals that he is not grounded.

Later, Zhao Sichen didn't chat much with Sun Guanyu.

On the contrary, he chatted happily with the grooms, guards, cooks and others in the convoy.

This suffocated Sun Guanyu.

As soon as he couldn't pull it off, he couldn't interject into the market topics they were talking about.

At this time, seeing Zhao Sichen out of the tent, Sun Guanyu hurriedly followed, and while walking slowly with Zhao Sichen, he fanned his own fan worth thousands of gold and came from the hands of a famous artist.

Towards the end of the evening, there was no sunshine, and it was by the river again, the river wind gradually increased, and the temperature in the north dropped quickly.

There are few weeds on both sides of the river, and the tall trees stand with hideous branches, and the branches are scattered with yellow-green leaves that have survived the cold winter, and there are also young shoots emerging from the branches.

Zhao Sichen stretched his waist and kicked his feet.

Sun Guanyu was looking for a topic on the side: "Although Boss Zhao is not very old, his temperament is very patient. I spent more than ten days in the carriage, but I didn't see you irritable. ”

Zhao Sichen moved his hands and feet and said, "It's okay, it's okay." It's fun to talk to everyone every day. ”

He also said: "It turns out that your chef can cook Huaiyang cuisine, and when I return to Daqing City, I have to borrow him from you for a few days and teach us a few good dishes." ”

Sun Guanyu was stunned for a moment: "He can cook Huaiyang cuisine?" ”

Zhao Sichen looked back strangely: "You don't know? ”

Sun Guanyu shook his head: "I don't like to eat Huaiyang cuisine, I don't know about it......"

Zhao Sichen hehe: "It's normal, you are the young owner of the Sun family, and you have a big account of tens of thousands of taels in your hands, how can you get into your eyes with the skills of a small cook." ”

Sun Guanyu smiled.

This kind of exaggerated and derogatory way of speaking made him not know how to answer.

The two of them were chatting idly, and Zhao Sichen's face suddenly changed.

Although Sun Guanyu didn't notice anything unusual, he was extremely sensitive to the expressions of others, and immediately noticed that something was wrong: "What happened?" ”

Zhao Sichen didn't care about soiling his clothes, so he directly found a piece of sand and mud with no grass and went down.

After a while, Zhao Sichen jumped up violently: "Someone is coming!" ”

Sun Guanyu's heart jumped: "Who?" ”

"I don't know, two groups of people.

The first group was on foot, with a chaotic pace, about twenty people.

The second group was horse-riding, with more than a dozen horses, running extremely fast and training in an orderly manner.

Both groups came in our direction. ”

Zhao Sichen hurriedly rushed to the place where the tent was set up, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Escort lineup!" Someone's coming! ”

The guards were helping with the cooking, and Jia San reacted very quickly, throwing away the fire stick in his hand and jumping up with the knife.

He was obviously the leader of the guard, and with a wave of his hand, the guard was divided into three teams, three directions, south, south, and west, and they had their backs to the river to the north, using the river as a natural protective barrier.

Zhao Sichen didn't dare to raise his voice, ran between several tents, and gave various orders from time to time: "The maid and the old shopkeeper hide behind the big tree by the river, don't come out easily." ”

"The cook puts out the fire that has just been raised, and does not reveal the fire."

"The guards of the Sun Mansion are also divided into three teams, guarding the inner circle and taking care of the guards of the Three Princes' Mansion."

Sun Guanyu saw that everyone was under the command of Zhao Sichen, although they were nervous, but they were still in place in an orderly manner.

He was so anxious that he grabbed Zhao Sichen's sleeve: "What about me?" ”

"You?" Zhao Sichen glanced at him: "Oh, yes, and Boss Sun, you and the maid take refuge behind the big tree by the river." ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Zhao Sichen casually took the long burning stick on the side: "I followed the guards of the Three Princes' Mansion." ”

When Sun Guanyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and he said, "I want to guard with you!" ”

With that, Sun Guanyu pulled out the saber he was wearing.

"Yo, it's stabbed!"

It turned out that Sun Guanyu's sword inlaid with gems was not just a decoration, it could really be used!

As soon as Sun Guanyu drew his sword, the guards of the Sun Mansion surrounded him one after another, and surrounded Sun Guanyu.

Zhao Sichen rolled his eyes helplessly.

I think it is also the most important task of the guard, not to protect everyone, but to protect the master.

Sun Guanyu was going to rush forward, and the guards naturally had to protect him.

Where can I still take care of Zhao Sichen's orders.

Zhao Sichen saw that the maids and the old shopkeeper who had been hiding behind the big trees by the river ran over one after another, thinking that they wanted to be loyal to the Lord-

Zhao Sichen quickly commanded: "In this case, you will guard the north!" ”

"North?" Sun Guanyu looked back, and the north was a swarthy river.

"Yes," Zhao Sichen looked serious, in case the thieves escaped across the river and caught us off guard.

Sun Guanyu had a resolute look on his face, nodded emphatically, and said, "I will definitely guard the north and prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation." ”

"Don't leave your post at will." Zhao Sichen gave an order, then ran forward, ran to Jia San's side, and stayed with him on the side near the post road.

Zhao Sichen told her findings: "Two groups of people and horses, the former on foot, the latter on horseback. ”

Jia San also heard it, and replied in a low voice: "Miss, the previous group of people on foot are also rushing, and there are many of them.

The latter group of horseback riders trained in an extremely orderly manner, and followed closely behindβ€”"

Zhao Sichen and Jia San thought together: "There are infantry in front and cavalry in the back, this is the practice of fighting in the army!" ”

Jia San frowned: "I don't know if the person who came is friend or foe-"

The two of them were discussing in a low voice, and soon, the group of people on foot had approached Zhao Sichen and his party.

Zhao Sichen and Jia San both stopped discussing.

Suddenly, the forest fell silent.

It's just that there is still afterglow in the sunset, and although Zhao Sichen and his party are hidden, many horses and goods cannot be hidden.

Twenty or thirty people came out one after another from Zhao Sichen and the others, all of whom were sturdy men dressed up among the people in the rivers and lakes.

A leading man walked forward, with a full beard, and said with a smile: "No need to hide! I've seen you! ”

As soon as these words came out, the maid couldn't control the sound of crying.

Hearing the sound of the woman crying, the men became even more excited and shouted loudly.

There are even men rushing over to pull the maid.

Sun Guanyu rushed out and shouted, "Stop! ”

The guards of the Sun Mansion also rushed out and surrounded Sun Guanyu.

"Hey!" The leader of the bandits saw that Sun Guanyu was dressed in flowers, and he was happy: "It's a big fish!" ”

Although the guards of the Sun Mansion surrounded Sun Guanyu, they were unorganized.

Soon, a man was quick and pulled out a few lonely maids.

The maidens screamed in fright.

Sun Guanyu shouted angrily: "If you dare to hurt the people of my Sun Mansion, you will definitely look good!" ”

"Daqing City Sun Clan?" Although the leader of the bandits fell into the grass, he still had some vision, and immediately remembered the Sun family, who monopolized the spice business of the Wei State.

Sun Guanyu shouted: "You hurry up and let our people go, I can reward you with money......

The leader of the bandits laughed: "Why should I release people?" I'll cut off your heads, and I'll take all the goods and money away, won't it be the same?! ”

Although Sun Guanyu is a good hand in business, the Sun family is engaged in the business of spice monopoly, especially the business of spices produced in Wu such as cinnamon.

In addition, the Sun family has been rich for a hundred years, and Sun Guanyu was born as a golden jade, and everyone held him, praised him, and obeyed him.

It was the first time he had seen such a gangster acting as a scoundrel.

Sun Guanyu's face turned red, and he was asked for a while.

The bandits laughed, pulled a few maids, and stuffed them into their own ranks to restrain them.

The others surrounded Sun Guanyu and the rest of the guards.

Sun Guanyu's face turned red, and he kept trembling with the sword in his hand, but he didn't take a step back and scolded loudly.

is obviously outnumbered, and he can't scold others, and he can't beat others, isn't this looking for death?

However, for a businessman who is noble and can only do business and does not understand the lives of the people at the bottom, it is already good to be able to do this.

Zhao Sichen made a gesture at Jia San.

Jia San hesitated, not knowing whether to follow the instructions or not.

Zhao Sichen didn't wait for Jia San to react, and walked out from behind the invisible tree.

Jia San just swallowed back the words he wanted to persuade, and silently gestured to the guards of the Three Princes' Mansion.

The guards of the Three Princes' Mansion continued to hide around and did not move, as if they were integrated with the surrounding vegetation.

Zhao Sichen quietly took a few steps forward, jumped up, jumped behind the bandit leader, and a sharp dagger as thin as silk rested on the leader's neck, shouting: "Everyone is not allowed to move!" ”
