Chapter 42: Encountering Robbers on the Road

After two days of walking, the two groups slowly adapted to the environment along the way, spending the first night in the wilderness, and the second day staying in a small town for the night.

Yang Miao has four carriages, although there are only five people in the autumn and ten years, there are also two carriages, and the journey will be slower, and it is difficult to reach the next town or village every night.

Yang Miao spends most of her time by the carriage of the autumn decade, and sometimes reads books directly in the carriage of the autumn decade, and there are a large number of books on the carriage of the autumn decade.

"Sir, the weather is fine today, I'm going out for a ride. Yang Miao said and wanted to get out of the carriage.

"Go ahead, young man needs to move for a while. Qiu Ten said.

Yang Miao rode on his horse and arrived at the front of the team, and when he saw the housekeeper of Qiu Ten Years discussing things with Chang Fuyou, the team also slowed down.

Seeing Yang Miao coming, Chang Fuyou said to Yang Miao: "Son, in the forest in front, I heard from Steward Fan that there have been some robberies during this time. The two of us were debating whether to take a detour. ”

"Is there a big difference in the detour?" Yang Miao asked.

"It will add five days to the journey. Chang Fuyou said.

"Oh, then you come with me and discuss it with Mr. Qiu. Yang Miao motioned to stop and rest for a while, and took the two of them to the back to find Qiu for ten years.

"Sanshui, why did you stop?" asked Yang Miao in the tenth year.

"Sir, there is a forest in front of me, and I heard from Steward Fan that there have been robbers recently, so in order to keep safe, I want to take a detour and add five days to my trip. Let's talk to Mr. Yang Miao replied.

"That's fine, just take a detour. Qiu Ten said.

"Shopkeeper Chang, after resting for a while, you lead the way in front and take a detour. Yang Miao said.

"Yes, Childe. Chang Fuyou said.

Yang Miao went to see the others, and they were all in good shape.

Steward Fan and Qiu Shishi explained the situation in detail.

"Does the housekeeper know that there are bandits in this place?" asked Steward Fan in the tenth year.

"Before we came out, they knew, and it seemed that they were going to send troops to clear it, and it would be about half a month. The housekeeper said, looking at Yang Miao's direction, and stopped talking.

"Do you have anything else to say? You've been with me for so long, just say it, I don't blame you. ”

"Sir, I'm definitely not like an ordinary son, I feel that I need to be more noble, I can't tell you the specifics. Steward Fan said.

"Oh, I can't tell, I won't talk about it for now. Qiu Ten said.

"Got it, sir. Steward Fan said.

After resting for a while, Chang Fuyou led the large group to change the route and bypass the woods from the west.

Take a detour, although the road is more difficult, but the road is safe, and you can live under the eaves at night, sometimes in an inn, sometimes in a homestay, sometimes in a dilapidated house.

"Sir, after some time ago, we returned to the main road, and although it was delayed for five days, it was quite smooth. Yang Miao said to Qiu Shiten.

"We've been gone for fifteen days, haven't we?" asked Qiu Shiten.

"Yes, sir. I heard Chang Fuyou say that at the current speed, it will reach Wanshan City in another 20 days, and it will take about 40 days to reach Wangcheng. ”

"Wanshan City is also a big city, similar to Wuzhi City, Wuzhi City is the gateway to the mountain country, and Wanshan City is the southern gateway of the capital. ”

"I asked the team to work hard, first to the main road and then to rest. Yang Miao said.

"Okay, you can decide that. Qiu Ten said.

Yang Miao sat on horseback and looked at the green hills, very beautiful, it is early summer, the weather is also cool, a good time to go green.

"Stop. Aitai raised his hand and stopped the group.

Yang Miao stepped forward, at the front of the team, and looked forward again, and saw a group of people, a few people in front of them were riding horses, and there were many people standing behind.

"Childe, these people are suspicious, and there are many of them. I'll go over and ask first, and then you guys will come back. Aitai said.

"Go ahead and stay safe. Yang Miao said.

Aitai rode over, slowly approaching the men, and saw that the two sides were talking.

After a while, the horseman on the other side took out his sword and rushed towards Aitai, who turned around and ran towards Hui. As he ran, he shouted, "Childe, it's a robber." ”

When everyone heard the word "robber", they were all startled, and all the men took out their weapons and began to gather their formations around Yang Miao.

"Protect Childe. Chang Fuyou shouted, "The woman walked to the middle." ”

Yang Miao sat on his horse and watched the robbers chase Aitai and rush this way, "All the personnel obey the order," Yang Miao shouted, "move to the eastern hills, the formation is not tender, go and stand on a high place." ”

"My husband will go first, among the women, Chang Fuyou will lead the men. ”

As he spoke, the team slowly moved towards the hill, and by the time Ai Tai retreated to the large team, Yang Miao and his party had already occupied the favorable terrain and formed a defense.

The robbers were all wearing masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and when they chased them, they stopped and dispersed.

"Our chief has said, 'Leave your money and your possessions, and the people will go away in peace, or else we will be unkind, and then there will be blood all over the ground. One of the robbers shouted.

"Chang shopkeeper, you go and deal with it, other people don't have experience, and neither do I, the worst result is a war. Yang Miao said to Chang Fuyou.

"Yes, Childe, I want to give you some silver, can you?" asked Chang Fuyou in a low voice.

"It's okay, you have full control, whether it's good or bad, I won't blame you. Yang Miao said.

"Okay, Childe, I'll do my best. Chang Fuyou walked to the front as he spoke.

"Listen, we are all scholars, and we don't have much silver, so we can give you more than half, five hundred taels of silver, please give your Excellency a convenience. Chang Fuyou shouted.

The robber muttered for a while, "Are you sending Hanako, at least five thousand taels, otherwise, we're welcome." The robber shouted.

"We really don't have any money, we are refugees, how can we have so much money, please take a closer look, do we seem to be rich and noble?" Chang Fuyou shouted.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to give five thousand taels?" shouted the robber.

"No is no, we fled all the way from Daxing to Dashan Country, only to think of going to Wangcheng to find a way out, don't look at how many of us are, you see that they are all children, the adults are dead, if we have money, why do we need to be like this. Chang Fuyou shouted, pointing to the children behind him.

The robber muttered for a while, "Okay, count you on, give us five hundred taels of silver, and we will withdraw, and I will do a good deed." The robber suddenly agreed.

"Okay, wait a minute. Chang Fuyou returned to the back, talked to Yang Miao, took out a bag, tied it up and threw it over.

When the robbers saw the bag thrown over, they took it and opened it to look at it, and then really retreated. Watching them disappear into the hills, Yang Miao asked the team to retreat down the hills, return to the road, and continue to move forward.

Yang Miao and Chang Fuyou sat in the carriage.

"You said that you fled from Daxing, did you have something to say?" Yang Miao asked.

"Childe is smart, I look at their outfits, their accents, and the weapons they light up, I judge that they should be the army that escaped from Daxing. They are willing to retreat, and I am now basically sure that they are Daxing's army, but I don't know how they entered the Dashan Country?"

"Then leave them alone for now, since they can survive, I believe that when the army of the Great Mountain Country comes, they will also have a way to leave. Yang Miao said.

"Childe, the money bag I gave contains the address of the Hope City Rice Shop, if they are desperate, they may come back to us. Chang Fuyou said.

"This method is very risky, and similar things will have to be discussed with me in the future. Yang Miao said.

"Yes, Childe, my subordinates remember. Chang Fuyou said.
