Chapter 290: Succeeded
The maid who followed beside handed the hand stove to Gu Yufei, but was slapped off by Gu Yufei.
The hand stove with charcoal fire fell to the ground and immediately cracked, and the charcoal fire inside rolled into the snow, which was extinguished by the snow in an instant, and a few charcoal flames splashed on the maid's skirt, burning the maid's skirt several holes......
Gu Yufei looked down at the chilblains on her fingers and gritted her teeth angrily.
Shilan obviously has so many gloves, scarves and hats, she is frostbitten, and she personally came forward to ask them for a set, but they not only didn't give it, but ignored her!
It's just a cheap maid, and she dares to snub her as a concubine of the Gu family!
Thinking about it like this, Gu Yufei, who was emotionally up, kicked the maid next to her, and the maid was kicked and knelt in the snow, her body trembled, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word, let alone make any sound, biting her lip and enduring the pain in her body.
Gu Yufei looked at the maid kneeling on the ground like a livestock, and scolded: "Useless things, not a single soup woman can get them!" ”
The hand stove must be burned with charcoal to have no smoke, but where is there good charcoal to sell on the way to Beidi.
They set off in a hurry, and General Liu was not there, so they could only settle for anything in the cold winter, and it would be good to have a hand stove for Gu Yufei to use at this time.
All the way north, especially in winter, it's not like you can't survive anymore, who will easily sell warm things to others.
Not to mention the soup woman, even a piece of warm sheepskin wolf skin will not be sold.
If you want to buy these things, I'm afraid you have to go to the border towns.
Gu Yufei got into the carriage, and the maid who was kicked and punished kneeling in the snow dared to stand up.
She didn't dare to get into Gu Yufei's carriage, she only dared to beg the carriage driver who pulled the goods to take her and let her stay with the goods.
There was only one maid waiting for Gu Yufei in the carriage.
The companion was punished, and the remaining maid shrank in the corner of the carriage, her head bowed, and she did not dare to make a sound, hoping to get into the gap in the carriage.
Gu Yufei lifted the curtain and glanced at the envoy team in front of her, and sneered.
She had just received General Liu's letter this morning, and she almost burst out laughing out loud in excitement when she knew what General Liu had asked her to do.
Hum! Today, she wants to see if Shilan and the others can laugh!
When the time comes, if Shilan begs to her, she will also let Shilan taste the taste of being rejected by a cold face!
In the morning, when the snow stopped, they set off, and they did not set off until noon, and Liu Renci ordered the convoy to rest.
While everyone was resting and eating dry food, He Yutian found a letter near the temporary camp.
After taking the letter, He Yutian hurried to Liu Renci's side and handed the letter to him.
Shilan was boiling hot water on the side, Liu Renci opened the small bamboo tube containing the letter, and quickly looked at the content of the letter, and as soon as he finished reading it, his brows furrowed.
Then he instructed He Yutian on the side, "They can't help but make a move, strengthen the defense in the afternoon in the place we said before, mainly protect the important people in the team, don't worry about the rest!" ”
"Yes, Lord Liu!" He Yutian immediately responded seriously.
Liu Renci turned his head and said to Shilan: "Shilan, you stay in the carriage with me in the afternoon, no matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to leave the carriage without my order!" ”
"Yes, my lord, the slave obeys!"
This was explained by Qin Shuhuang before leaving, and Ruihe Shilan, Song Yiqiu, and He Yutian all listened to Liu Renci when she was away.
After a short break at noon, we hit the road again.
The snow only stopped for the morning, and after setting off in the afternoon, the snow began to fall again.
After half an hour, not only did it not get smaller, but it also got bigger.
The road, which was already difficult to walk, was almost completely covered with snow.
As far as the eye can see, there is a white expanse.
In order to get to the next post station as soon as possible, Liu Renci instructed the envoys to do everything they could to speed up.
When the convoy passed by a canyon, the sides of the canyon, which had been quiet in the falling snow, suddenly splashed with snow.
People wearing various animal skins and holding scimitars suddenly came out of the snow, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred people!
The sudden appearance of these people did not allow many people in the convoy to react, especially the ordinary servants in charge of the goods in the convoy.
These men wearing animal skins and holding scimitars did not rush to the escort group at the first time after they appeared, and their target was the baggage cart behind the convoy!
These men skillfully rushed into the baggage procession, kicked the drivers off the baggage wagons, and then drove the baggage carts themselves to the path on the other side of the canyon.
A squad of three to five people, well-trained, agile, and strong, they don't look like ordinary robbers.
Seventy percent of the soldiers who escorted and escorted the convoy protected the envoys in front of the convoy, and less than twenty percent of the people who stayed behind to escort the baggage convoy.
Rao is their desperate resistance, but they can't resist the robbers who are athletic and numerous.
It was as if they had known about the defensive arrangements of the envoys.
When all the wagons had been snatched away, the thieves gave a whistle, and the horses, which had not known where they were hidden, came running.
The bandit got on his horse, flicked the reins, and hurried out of the canyon.
The speed is fast and does not give the envoy team a chance to chase at all!
It happened so quickly that before the people at the front of the envoy's line could react, the baggage cart was hijacked......
The captain of the guard of the envoy team angrily wanted to lead people to chase him, but was stopped by Liu Renci.
The captain of the guard said angrily: "Lord Liu, our supplies are all in the baggage convoy!" Now that things have been robbed, let alone negotiating with Beidi, we don't even know if we can reach Beidi alive! No, I'm going to bring someone to get it back! ”
Liu Renci said to the captain of the guard in a serious voice: "Do you know who the bandits are and how many people there are? If you had put yourselves in, the envoys would not have survived now! ”
The captain of the guard instantly calmed down because of Liu Renci's words.
Lord Liu is right, if these guards leave the team now, let alone go to Beidi, it will be a problem for them to survive in this vicinity.
In case the thieves have a lot of origins and a large number of people, they will only deliver food if they chase after them like this.
The captain of the guard scratched the back of his head irritably, and asked Liu Renci for help, "Lord Liu, what should we do now?" ”
Liu Renci squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the road ahead covered by heavy snow, and said resolutely: "If the things are gone, you can still ask the court again, if the people are gone, there is nothing, we are fine, there will be no real dead end!" Let's hurry up to the next post station and ensure everyone's safety first! ”
At this time, it can only be like this.
The captain of the escort immediately spread Liu Renci's orders throughout the convoy.
The convoy that had been stalled in the canyon set off again.
Without the baggage, although everyone in the convoy was worried, the speed was more than twice as fast as before.
Soon, the Tisang team, which was some distance away from the envoy's convoy, and Gu Yufei's convoy both received the news.
The guards who came to report had a happy look on their faces, "Miss Yufei, they have succeeded!" ”
