Chapter 16: Night Attack
Jiang Yuling calmly accepted Qiao Ran's thanks, and she didn't participate in the next thing, but when she returned to her original position, the mother and son had disappeared, and a girl who followed Xia Xuxu had obvious traces of crying on her face.
It was getting late, and the caravan finally stopped to rest.
"Phew! Sigh! ”
Hearing the order to rest, the coachmen immediately gave orders to the horses they were driving, and soon the whole caravan came to a halt in its place.
The middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper found Jiang Yuling again, and this time his tone became much more respectful.
"Miss Jiang, our young lady, please go to the front to talk about it, thank you for your reminder during the day."
Jiang Yuling did not refuse, and in the process of leaving, she learned that the middle-aged man's name was Qiao Zhong, and he was the housekeeper of Qiao Ran's family.
He's really a housekeeper!
Seeing Jiang Yuling coming, Qiao Ran stood up with a smile to greet her, "Thank you for today's events, Miss Jiang is bold and careful, which is admirable." ”
In this regard, Jiang Yuling just smiled and did not take Qiao Ran's praise to heart.
"By the way, do you know the details of the mother and son?"
Hearing Jiang Yuning's question, the smile on Qiao Ran's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression became serious: "Those three committed suicide after discovering out that their identities were revealed, and we can't ask anything." ”
Deadpool!
If most of the ordinary bandits only want money, even if they are discovered, they will only escape, and they will not commit suicide.
"Even if nothing has been investigated from those three people, you must have some guesses about who is behind the scenes, right?"
"Indeed." Qiao Ran nodded: "The route of our caravan is not secret, but there are only a few forces that can stop us at the expense of Deadpool. ”
This topic was over, Jiang Yuling did not continue to ask, and Qiao Ran did not continue.
In the middle of the night, most people have already rested, but Jiang Yuling did not feel a little sleepy, just opened a pair of big round eyes and counted the stars to play, and then counted more and more energetic.
"It's Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, Scorpio ......"
Qiao Ran, who was on the side, listened to Jiang Yuling talking to herself, and asked curiously: "Miss Jiang, did you marry a name for every star?" ”
"That's not the name of the star, and I didn't take these names..."When she was a child, whenever she couldn't sleep, her brother Jiang Zining would point to the stars in the sky to form various shapes and teach her to know.
At this time, Qiao Ran seemed to have noticed something, and said loudly to the surroundings: "Everyone pay attention, there are thieves approaching!" ”
Jiang Yuling obviously noticed it too, and quickly got up and looked around vigilantly.
"Since you're here, don't be sneaky, get out!" Qiao Ran's face was cold, and he scolded at the empty front.
As Qiao Ran's words fell, a group of masked black-clothed men appeared with sharp blades in their hands.
The black-clothed people surrounded the caravan, and the black-clothed man led by him walked to the front and said in a sharp and piercing voice: "Miss Qiao, we don't want to disturb your rest, but our three brothers suddenly disappeared, and only a group of you passed by here all day, so we came to inquire." ”
Obviously, the three brothers mentioned by the leader of the man in black are the mother and son in disguise before, so it can be guessed that these people have come to find fault on purpose.
"Feng Zheng, don't spew blood here anymore from your cold night mercenary group, and leave quickly if you know each other, otherwise my grandfather won't let you go."
Qiao Ran's eyes were cold, and he opened his mouth to reveal the identity in front of him.
Jiang Yuning hadn't heard of the Cold Night Mercenary Group, but it could be seen from the current situation that this Cold Night Mercenary Group did not deal with Qiao Ran's forces, and it was ......
She looked at the black-clothed people who surrounded them layer by layer, there were more than a hundred people, although the number of people on both sides was comparable, but don't forget, Qiao Ran still had to divide his mind to protect the goods on the carriage, it was impossible to fight with all his heart, all in all, this was a battle that could see the result at a glance.
"I have long heard that Miss Qiao is courageous, and when I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be a waste who will only look for grandpa when he encounters problems, which is really disappointing, but don't worry, you died here tonight, no one will find out, and your grandfather will only think that it was done by the surrounding bandits, and he can't suspect us."
If they hadn't made foolproof preparations, how could they have acted rashly?
"If you want to blame it, blame your Qiao family, you have to be the enemy of our Cold Night Mercenary Group."
Hearing this, Qiao Ran's face was ugly, the Cold Night Mercenary Group has always done things by unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, and even more so when they treat the enemy, but she didn't expect these people to be so rampant.
"Everyone, get ready to fight!"
In the face of the cold night mercenary group, Qiao Ran did not have a trace of fear, the only regret was that he should not be so arrogant, and did not deliver the birthday gift on time, and their Qiao family may face the accountability of the city lord's mansion.
"Hey, hey, little girl, I'll let you see what real strength is today." Feng Zheng smiled evilly, and with a long scimitar in hand, he attacked Qiao Ran.
However, before he could get closer, more than a dozen lightning strike talismans flew to his face first.
In an instant, dozens of heavenly thunderbolts fell from the sky, and with a miserable scream, Feng Zheng completely turned into a wisp of black smoke, and his bones were gone.
"I don't want to care about the grudge between you, but from what you just said, it seems that you want to kill everyone here."
For those who want to kill themselves, Jiang Yuling will never be soft, she looked at the remaining black-clothed people with sharp eyes, and with a flick of her little hand, more than a dozen heavenly thunder talismans appeared in her hands again.
Qiao Ran and the others, who were originally preparing to fight to the death, were suddenly shocked by Jiang Yuning's wealthy handwriting.
Those Heavenly Thunder Talismans just now have obviously reached the master level, and such talismans are qualified even if they are placed at auction.
But there are more than a dozen of such talismans, and there are more than a dozen of them casually, and they don't look distressed at all.
Jiang Yuning's hand kept moving, purple lightning kept leaving from the sky, and those black-clothed people were powerless to resist, so they could only keep dodging and dodging the attack of the heavenly thunder, after all, they were all in the eyes of Feng Zheng's fate just now.
It's a pity that they dodged the attack of the thunder, but they were killed by the relieved Qiao Ran and his people.
Until they died, they didn't understand why there was such a wealthy figure in the Qiao family's caravan, and the master-level talisman was thrown away.
These people are all elites cultivated by the Cold Night Mercenary Group, but in the face of such indiscriminate bombardment, they can only be helpless and run away.
