Chapter 22 Distress Situations

Early in the morning, Yun Wan, Yu Chen, Xue Qing, and Ruoli rode in the same carriage. Haoyun himself took the middle one, which contained half of the luggage and the supplies presented by the Zheng Mansion. The four-horse high carriage of the Zheng Mansion followed at the end.

Yun Wan has already persuaded Zheng Qingsong to change his car, but he insists on saying that time is too tight to rush. In fact, he is too lazy, and he will deal with everything he can. It's already past midnight, and if he delays it any longer, he is afraid that it will be late at night.

Unable to reach Xiangzhou, Yun Wan hurriedly said goodbye to Zheng Kaifu and continued on her way.

Facing the morning glow, it seemed that the future was full of hope. Yun Wan's mood was no longer as heavy as before, and she fell asleep comfortably. She even dreamed of the scene when she went to the imperial capital before. Pieces of soft pink petals fluttered and fell with the breeze, as if

The flocks of butterflies were like falling rain, filling the girl's heart. It was the first and only pink flower rain she had ever seen. After returning to Wuchuan, she never encountered it again no matter how hard she searched.

In Yun Wan's dream, there is a tender spring scene, but outside the dream, it is indeed a withered autumn scene. The cold wind stains the maple leaves on the ground and turns red, reflecting the tranquility of the five-flowered mountains. Although it is beautiful and gorgeous, it is also sad and desolate. Cars and horses are traveling in the mountains.

On the forest road, from a distance, it looks like three ants quietly carrying food for the winter in preparation for the cold winter.

"Be careful!" After Master Han shouted, the carriage and horse suddenly stopped, and with the inertia of Ruoli, they fell into Yuchen's arms.

Before Yun Wan could pull Ruoli away, Master Han lifted the curtain and whispered, "No, bandits are infested in this area." Seeing his daughter lying in Yu Chen's arms, Master Han did not forget to give his instructions.

"Be good, don't be afraid, daddy is here."

"Hurry up and let go." Xue Qing complained as she pulled Ruoli away from Yuchen's arms.

"Who won't let go?" Yuchen asked in confusion. He didn't know what to do. In just a moment, there was a little girl in his arms. Apart from Yun Wan, Yuchen had never been like this with the other women in his memory.

Being so intimate, he suddenly felt very shy and his cheeks turned slightly red.

"Who knows who doesn't let go." Xue Qing glared at Youchen fiercely.

Yun Guan helped open Ruoli's fingers and allowed Xue Qing to pull the little girl aside. She was angry that Yuchen's reaction was too slow and she was not careful. The girl pretended to be pitiful, which made Xue Qing jealous and angry. This morning it was Xue Qing.

Qing offered to ride with Yun Wan, saying it was for the convenience of taking care of the young lady, but Yun Wan just thought that Xue Qing was avoiding Haoyun. In this emergency situation, she didn't care about the affection between her children, so Yun Wan jumped out of the car.

Go and quickly find out what happened.

"Master Han, why do you think there are bandits?" Yun Wan asked eagerly after circling the carriage and not noticing anything strange.

"There is a thin string in front of us. If I hadn't noticed it just now and just drove past it quickly, our horse's front legs would be useless." Master Han was tying the string while looking for its source. One end of the string

It was firmly fixed in the rock crevice, and the other end was firmly tied to the pine tree beside the road. It was difficult to see it when it was blocked by the lush tall grass. Master Han avoided the dense triangular hidden weapons under the trees and cut it off.

With the rope tied to the tree, several hidden arrows were shot out from the crown of the tree. Fortunately, Master Yu also rushed over to investigate the situation and pushed Master Han away in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

No one expected that these bandits were so dark. The traps randomly set on the roadside were actually a series of traps. Even the arrow that almost hit Master Han was coated with something. I don't know if it was poison or anesthetic.

But it was certain that there must be bandits staying nearby, so Yun Wan and his party quickly got on the carriage and wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.

Thin ropes, flying arrows, and serial traps, the road ahead is winding and circling, hidden in the autumn forest. I don’t know what else is waiting for them? I don’t know how long it will take to get out? Or whether they can get out?

Yun Wan's heart, which had finally calmed down, started to feel anxious again. Just after running for less than a stick of incense, something happened. This time, the rear wheel of Haoyun's carriage suddenly broke, and the carriage fell on its side on the side of the road, like

It's like a defeated battle, with people falling on their backs.

Master Han quickly stopped, and Yuchen took Yun Wan to check the injuries of Haoyun and Master Yu. She saw Haoyun crawling out from the broken window with difficulty, and her clothes were scratched several times, which was very serious.

Embarrassed. Master Yu said that he felt the wheel was suddenly hit hard and the whole car lost control. He quickly took out a knife and cut off the reins connecting the car and the horse, so the car rolled into a side ditch and broke the axle.

Fortunately, Haoyun and he were both smarter and not injured, and the horses were also safe.

Zheng Qingsong slowly walked over with a bundle of hemp ropes and directed Haoyun to jump into the side ditch and tie the hemp ropes to the car. He and the masters worked together to get the dilapidated car out of the ditch and back to the road.

Then he urged everyone to help put things into his carriage. After this incident, Yun Wan's view of Zheng Qingsong changed a bit, and she no longer thought he was so rogue and unreliable.

Yun Guan told Haoyun, Master Yu and Zheng Qingsong to take one car and give the four horses to the other cars, two horses each, as a way to speed up and leave Bingzhou as soon as possible and leave this road of right and wrong.
