Chapter 38: Distress
Shen Changze lay down angrily, thinking about it and unwillingly: "If I am afraid of his threat, I will kill him directly, why bother so much to leave hidden dangers." ”
The person in the bed breathed lightly and did not respond.
Shen Changze felt stuffy in his chest, and felt a punch hit the cotton, so weak that he had a heart attack.
No wonder she has been cold to him these days, and she doesn't have a good face, so that's the case.
The two have different dreams in the same room, and they are separated from each other.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Shu woke up, the ground was empty, and the quilt that Shen Changze had laid on the ground was stacked at the foot of the bed.
Jiang Shu got up and got out of bed and called Tanyu to freshen up.
Tan Yu entered the house with a basin of water and asked with a puzzled face, "Did Madam and Master Hou quarrel?"
"Why do you ask?" Jiang Shu was stunned, was she so obvious?
Tan Yu said: "As soon as the morning dawned, the marquis left to return to Beijing, and he didn't say anything with a cold face. ”
He left her and went first?
Jiang Shu was stunned and a little incredulous.
"Ma'am, what shall we do?" Tan Yu asked Jiang Shuwan while sending a message.
Jiang Shu pursed his lips: "Pack your things and set off as soon as possible." ”
It takes more than half a day to get to Beijing here, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the city before sunset.
Shen Changze only took Huo Chong away, and the two rode away, leaving the carriage and guards to Jiang Shu.
After having breakfast casually, Jiang Shu hurried on the road and headed to Beijing.
In order to walk safely, I have been walking on the official road when I go down the mountain.
Halfway through, the official road was blocked by several large rocks rolling down from the mountain, and it was impossible to cross, so it could only be detoured.
Jiang Shu lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the backward trees and mountains outside, and frowned slightly.
Shen Changze rode on horseback, his feet were faster than the carriage, and he should have entered the city at this time.
I don't know how he will feel when he returns home alone, and what kind of speculation and rumors will arise.
Jiang Shu didn't understand why she didn't even give her this bit of decency when she tried her best to help him calculate.
Everything she did for him, was it worth it?
When his thoughts were flying, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the huge inertia forced Jiang Shu to move forward and almost fall.
"Madame, be careful." Tan Yu held Jiang Shu, opened the car door and asked the guard: "How did you drive?"
There was a guard driving on the wheel, followed by five guards.
At this time, they all looked vigilant, pulled out the swords at their waists, and waited for them: "Protect Madame!" ”
What's going on?
Tan Yu looked up and saw a group of fierce mountain bandits carrying big knives on the narrow mountain road, staring at them like wolves.
She hurriedly closed the car door and protected Jiang Shu and said, "Madam, hide quickly." ”
They originally brought more than a dozen guards with them on this trip, but they left half of them to arrest Zhao Dezhu in Cen Hezhuang, and Shen Changze took Huo Chong away, leaving only six guards.
Tan Yu panicked in his heart, unsure if the six guards could beat a group of mountain bandits.
She just glanced at it cursoly, and there were more than twenty mountain bandits, to say the least.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu still didn't understand what was going on.
"Mountain bandits are blocking the road and robbing." Tan Yu's voice trembled, and her little face turned pale.
Jiang Shu suddenly understood their situation.
The mountain bandits were all dispatched in groups, and the six guards were afraid that they would be difficult to defeat.
If they only rob money, they are afraid that they will kill adulteresses.
She is the lady of the Marquis of Jing'an, if she loses her innocence, how can she still live?
Listening to the sound of the fight outside the car, Jiang Shuqiao's face was tense and pale, and she used reason to force herself to stay calm, and quickly thought about how to escape.
She quietly lifted the corner of the curtain to spy outside.
There were many bandits, and the guards were wounded, but they were still desperately guarding the carriage.
"Look for death! Give it to Lao Tzu! The bandit leader gave an order, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
In a few moments, two of the guards fell.
She can't sit still!
Jiang Shu quickly looked around and saw that there were mountains and forests on both sides, and there was no way to escape, only the mountain road in front of him was the only way to survive.
"Where's the dagger?" She lowered the curtain and asked Tanyu.
Tan Yu hurriedly found the dagger and handed it to her.
Jiang Shu pulled out the dagger and held it tightly, letting Tan Yu open the car door, she quickly rushed to the wheel and stabbed the dagger in her hand into the horse's buttocks.
The decisiveness of the attack and the firmness of the eyes made Tan Yu so amazed that he forgot to be afraid.
The wounded and painful horse let out a terrible roar and ran wildly.
The sudden change caught the mountain bandits by surprise. By the time they came to their senses, the carriage had already knocked several bandits out of the way.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and chase Lao Tzu!" The bandit leader carried a big knife and chased after him first.
"Hold them back!" Regardless of their lives, the wounded four guards engaged in a fight with the pursuing bandits.
However, they were outnumbered, and in a short time they all fell.
The ferocious mountain bandits rode forward and soon caught up with the carriage.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu couldn't drive horses, so they could only let the horses run wildly, and accidentally ran into the mountain path, and soon were blocked by branches and weeds, unable to continue moving.
Before being chased by the mountain bandits, Jiang Shu decisively abandoned the car and fled.
"Madam, slave run...... I can't run anymore. Tan Yu was out of breath and sweating profusely.
Jiang Shu stretched out his hand to hold her, bit his lip and insisted, and ran forward with all his strength.
ran until the two legs were as heavy as lead, and Jiang Shu didn't dare to stop, because as soon as they stopped, what was waiting for them was worse than death.
"They're up front."
"Drive, drive, drive!"
Two legs were no match for four, and they were quickly overtaken.
"Madame, you go quickly." Tan Yu pushed away Jiang Shu's hand that was holding her tightly.
Glancing back at the mountain bandits behind him, Tan Yu knew that he couldn't run away, and wanted to buy Jiang Shu a little more time.
What if, what if there is a miracle.
"Tanyu." Jiang Shu didn't dare to stop, and ran forward with tears.
"This servant girl is for you, Zhao Dezhu, let's go chase the one in front."
"Mrs. Houfu, what does Lao Tzu want to taste!"
The bandit licked his tongue and stared at Jiang Shu's panicked and fleeing shadow, like a hunter staring at his prey in a desperate situation.
"Hehe, you're as happy as a fairy, and you can't forget it." Zhao Dezhu's eyes are crimson, and his lust is smoking.
Four days ago, he escaped from Cen Hezhuang, knowing that he had nowhere to go. both hated Shen Changze's ruthlessness and coveted Jiang Shu's beauty, so he found a group of outlaw mountain bandits.
"Ma'am." Tan Yu was surrounded by a group of lewd and laughing mountain bandits, watching them approach her, tears of despair.
"Whoosh!" A feathered arrow burst through the air and knocked down a bandit.
"Who?" The rest of the bandits quickly turned around and looked around vigilantly with knives in hand.
"Whoosh!" A few more feathered arrows flew in.
"Drive!" With the sound of horses' hooves, a group of people appeared, like a god descending.
"Kill!" The bandits rushed over with their knives in hand.
The two sides fought together, and three of them rode towards Tanyu.
Getting closer, Tan Yu recognized the leader at a glance.
"Your Royal Highness King Jing, save my wife!" Tan Yu wept with joy and knelt on the ground to plead.
Hearing Tan Yu's words, Yu Zheng's face changed: "Where is your wife?"
"Over there." Tan Yu trembled and pointed out the direction of Jiang Shu's escape.
Yu Zheng whipped his horsewhip violently and ran in the direction of Jiang Shu as fast as he could.
