Chapter Seventy-Four: Assassination

On this day, the group missed the post station and was discussing the need to set up camp, and the people who were exploring the road in front of them happened to return.

"Master, there is another village not far ahead, why don't you rest there?"

Mo Xuan nodded, "Okay, it's better to have a house than to be in a carriage." ”

Although the carriage was spacious enough, the space was small and uncomfortable.

Go to the private house, the lady can still breathe.

Before dark, the people came to the village and saw a group of people, and the villagers were initially panicked and surrounded the women and children.

A man dressed without a patch stepped forward.

"Guys and gentlemen, I don't know if we came to Xianghua Village, but is there something?"

The others looked at him as the head of the horse, and the young strong man in the village followed behind this man, obviously defending.

Mo Xuan stepped forward quickly, "Hello, are you the village chief here?" We were on a caravan to Lixian and missed the post station, so we thought about spending the night. ”

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone relaxed.

"Spend the night, that's okay, I thought you were bandits in the mountains."

Mo Xuan's expression moved, and he couldn't help but ask, "How can there be bandits here?" ”

"Yes, they are all from the south, by the way, you are going to Lixian, just passing by there, you have to be careful, those bandits kill people without blinking."

The old man advised, and Mo Xuan nodded and agreed.

There are many people, and they don't want to be separated, so they directly use the ancestral hall in the village, there are two beds in the ancestral hall, just Mo Xuan and the lady sleep, and the rest of the people can make bunks on the ground.

The mountain bandits here are rampant, from time to time down the mountain to rob, there are not many people who kill, the target is silver and women, if there is resistance, there have been entire villages have been slaughtered.

He gave the village chief some silver and asked him to find someone to prepare a few meals, which he had to cut clean with good craftsmanship.

Seeing a pregnant woman getting out of the car, the village chief completely relaxed, mountain bandits can't take pregnant women with them.

The village chief was a little more enthusiastic, afraid that the ancestral hall would be cold, and specially sent someone to send a lot of charcoal, which was naturally given money.

Yunshang looked at the houses in the village, many of them were relatively dilapidated, the clothes worn by adults and children were very torn, and there were few women, I don't know if they were taken away or hidden.

"Husband, this place is not far from the capital, how can there be so many mountain bandits?"

Mo Xuan hesitated for a moment, "It should be from the south that I have fled." ”

Fleeing here, the flood disaster in the south is not small.

And Lixian is also in the south, and it won't be too good, the hearts of the two are complicated, and the next road will not be peaceful.

After dinner, the taste is OK, but there is less oil, the oil in the countryside is precious, and I am used to cooking.

Mo Xuan was afraid that Yunshang would not be used to eating, but he didn't expect Yunshang to eat very well.

When she used to be a maid, she also ate dishes that were more unpalatable than this.

The pregnant woman was drowsy, and without saying a word, Yunshang fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she was woken up by a loud noise, and when she saw Mama and Chunmei protecting her, she was in front of her.

Chunlan Chunzhu was on the outside, holding a sword, guarding a few people with a serious face.

Seeing that Yunshang woke up, Mama helped the person up, "Madam, but woke up?" ”

Yunshang shook her head and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”

The doors and windows were closed, but the shouts of killing and screaming came in.

"Is it a bandit?"

Yunshang sighed in her heart, grabbed Mama's arm violently, and asked anxiously, "Where is the husband?" Is he okay! Are you hurt? ”

Seeing that people were in a hurry, Chunmei hurriedly explained, "Madame, don't worry, the master is fine." ”

"Yes, madam, don't worry, the lord has a good hand, and we are rarely his opponents."

Chunlan smiled to soothe Yunshang's nervous mood.

Yunshang suddenly relaxed, and then realized that her palms were full of sweat.

"It's okay!"

She muttered under her breath, but kept her eyes on the doorway.

She knew that she couldn't make trouble, and if she went out, her husband would have to be distracted to protect her.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound outside faded away.

"Zero One, check if there are any injuries, and go to the doctor to get the medicine."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, look at the casualties in the village, if you can save it, save it."

After giving the order again, Mo Xuan walked towards the door.

He knew that the lady was worried about him, and he wanted to go in to comfort the lady.

Seeing the person appear in front of him completely, even the clothes are neat, without any traces of blood.

Yunshang was finally relieved.

"The slave has seen the master."

A few maids and grandmothers bowed and saluted, and Mo Xuan waved his hand, "You guys go and rest, there will be no more problems if someone keeps vigil." ”

For those who are good to his mother, he never hesitates to exude kindness.

"Thank you, sir."

After a few people had withdrawn, the door was lightly closed.

There were only two people left in the room, and Yun Sheng tugged on Mo Xuan's sleeve and looked up and down.

"Husband, are you hurt?"

Mo Xuan chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, lady, I'm not injured, you have to believe that you are a husband, you are very powerful for a husband." ”

The whole person was hippie and smiling, without the slightest nervousness.

Yunshang gave him a blank look, believing this person.

"What about the others? You okay? ”

"It's okay, I just watched it, and there are only two scratches on the skin."

Mo Xuan gradually put away his smiling face, and Yun Sheng also became serious.

"Lady, these people are not simple."

"You mean, not mountain bandits?"

Yunshang's heart jumped.

Mo Xuan shook his head, "No, although these people are dressed the same as the mountain bandits, these people are very good and well-trained, so I doubt it...... This group is here for us. ”

Yunshang was silent for a while, "Who do you say wants our lives?" Who have we offended? Could it be that he is a house? ”

Mo Xuan shook his head and denied this speculation, "It shouldn't be, He Fu doesn't have that ability, do you think about who we have offended recently?" ”

Thinking of a person suddenly, Yun Shang's face changed, "You mean the second princess?" ”

Mo Xuan nodded, "If you guessed correctly, it should be her." ”

Yun Shang's face was complicated, and she felt uncomfortable: "This person is too careful, we just saved the side concubine, and this person is going to kill us?" ”

Mo Xuan patted her head, "Not only did I save the side concubine, but I also saved my brother, the side concubine was registered in the royal family, and the child had the opportunity to inherit the prince's mansion, and even that position ......"

Yunshang knew that even if the time returned to that time, she would still save it, not for anything else, but with a clear conscience.

This night's attack was not only them, but also killed people in the village.

Hearing the wailing, Yunshang was uncomfortable, and discussed with her husband to leave some more silver taels.

After all, the people in the village are implicated, and compensation should be made.

In the second half of the night, nothing else happened, and Yunshang slept directly until she woke up naturally.

When they woke up, everyone had already packed their bags and had breakfast.

Yunshang was quite embarrassed to make everyone wait for so long, but who made her pregnant?

After breakfast and husband ate together, everyone added some eggs, duck eggs, vegetables and meat to the village before starting to set off.

The village chief personally sent the people out of the village, and the silver taels left by these people were enough for everyone to spend for a while.
