More than ten carriages were driving slowly on the official road, accompanied by dozens of horsemen in front and behind to protect them.
Even though the sun was shining brightly, the chill of early spring still lingered. The horse pulling the carriage was extremely handsome and impatiently wanted to gallop to keep warm, until the horse in front neighed, then it shook its head and snorted and stopped.
In the carriage, a hand holding a book moved slightly, and the curtain was opened. A fair face poked out, and the middle-aged man with black hair slowly turned his eyes and asked: "Who is intercepting Mr. Wang?"
fleet?"
The guard commander Jin Qiyan, who was holding a short spear, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Erlang Jun is a young man."
The middle-aged man lowered the car curtain, and there was no sound in the car.
Jin Qiyan rushed over immediately and saw the young man surrounded by his own people, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Ask someone."
Ahead, the horse fell to the ground and twitched. The knight jumped up and was not injured, but he looked a little disgraced and said angrily: "You little thief, how dare you intercept my carriage!"
Yang Xuan held the handle of the knife, but he knew that if he acted rashly, these people would chop him into minced meat in an instant. He squinted at the big men approaching from the left and right, and calculated in his mind which direction to break through.
Too late!
Just as the horse flew up and Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, the big men quickly completed the surrounding action.
Why should I be in a daze?
Yang Xuan thought about his stupidity in reaching out earlier in a vain attempt to pull the horse back, so that he was in a desperate situation at the moment, and couldn't help but want to slap himself on the forehead.
He raised his eyes, his whole body seemed relaxed, but his feet were secretly working hard, ready to break out and run away at any time, "I am a traveler."
"Lu Yin." A big man stretched out his sword with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
This means that I want to snatch Heng Dao and break out from him.
The two big men pointed their bows and arrows to the side intentionally or unintentionally... Once Yang Xuan breaks out from here, the two bows will block his route.
Yang Xuan honestly found out the road guide and put it on the horizontal knife. Without the road guide, it would be difficult to move, but he felt that he could go to Chang'an from the official road and climb over the mountains all the way. But he didn't know that it would be more troublesome to get to Chang'an.
, without a road guide, the best outcome for him would be to be arrested and forced to do hard labor, and then it was found out that Yuanzhou had not handled any immigration issues for him... This was a serious crime, and he would most likely be exiled.
The man stared at him, "Why are you carrying a sword and a bow and arrow?"
Yang Xuan felt that this man was too domineering, "I am a hunter, it is not against the law to carry a bow and arrow, right?"
The man took a look at the guide, turned around and said, "It's a hunter."
Jin Qiyan stepped forward, "Where is the hunter? Where are you going?"
The man lowered his head again and said, "He is a hunter from Dingnan County, planning to go to Chang'an to join his relatives."
This was the guide prepared by Yang Lue for him. As for the so-called relatives, they have probably disappeared at this moment.
Jin Qiyan said coldly: "Why did you block the convoy?"
Yang Xuan was startled, "I'm walking on the side. The left side is spacious enough to accommodate three carriages traveling side by side. Why do you want to beat me?"
This is unfair!
The big men's eyes were cold, with a bit of shock and ridicule, as if they had heard a big joke.
Jin Qiyan shook his head, knowing that this was an ignorant young man who was probably traveling far away for the first time.
"Ten beatings with sticks, let's go!"
This is the lightest punishment.
Yang Xuan knew that there were probably noble people in the convoy, but what happened to the noble people? Can the noble people punish people at will? He got angry and pulled out half of his sword, "Why?"
This young man did not fight for his life before, but now he is furious for the ten sticks... Jin Qiyan let out a light sigh, and just about to increase the punishment, the voice of a middle-aged man came from the first carriage, very calmly: "It's Dingnan County
Orion? Take it with you and I will ask questions on the way."
Jin Qiyan relaxed and said, "Take the order." He said to Yang Xuan, "Follow, anyone who leaves the convoy will be shot without mercy!"
"Kill a man to pay for his life!" Yang Xuan said firmly and refused to admit defeat, but felt a little scared in his heart.
This group of people seemed calm, but there was unquestionable determination in their eyes, as if killing him was like killing a chicken. Yang Xuan had been traveling between the village and the mountains, and the so-called noble man he met was the village leader Yang Qiyuan. Yang Qiyuan looked
It seems majestic, but after all, he is a fellow villager, and he is afraid of being put in a sack at night, so there is no such thing as punishing him without reason.
Who are they?
Yang Xuan was forced to follow, "I want to go to Chang'an."
Jin Qiyan said calmly: "We are going to Chang'an."
That’s it!
Yang Xuan touched his arms. The last possessions were there. Hope surged in his heart, "Then...can you give me some hot water? Just boil an extra bowl when boiling water."
This man actually climbed along the pole... Jin Qiyan's eyelids twitched, "You don't have to pay for hot water."
Yang Xuan was overjoyed and came over and asked: "Don't you have to pay for hot water? What about the dry biscuits?" Thinking that he had brought more than ten dry biscuits, enough to last for five or six days, he felt that he was too greedy.
Somewhat surprised, "I still have to buy pancakes, uh huh... you don't allow me to leave the motorcade..."
Jin Qiyan's face turned a little red, "Here you go."
Yang Xuan's eyes were shining, "Can it be cheaper?"
Jin Qiyan turned around and said, "No money!"
The Wang family's property is huge, how could there be any shortfall in cake money? It's not embarrassing enough to tell him. He was shaking all over, and the big men looked weird, as if they were trying to hold back laughter.
Jin Qiyan walked to the carriage and whispered.
The middle-aged man in the car said calmly: "Just ordinary people."
With these words, Yang Xuan was keenly aware that the murderous intent around him was slowly dissipating.
In the afternoon, the motorcade stopped in a wilderness.
Jin Qiyan led his people to clean up the camp, while Yang Xuan squatted beside him with a sad face, pulling at the dead grass left on the ground from last year, wondering if he should remind them.
"What is the young man thinking?"
At some point, a middle-aged man walked up behind him. He was dressed in a simple outfit, but there was a faint sense of nobility.
Thinking of being able to have free food and lodging, Yang Xuan stood up, saluted, and said sincerely to his sponsor: "I used to go looking for something to eat when I was hungry. If the room containing the food was locked tightly, I would
I tried my best to get in. But at that time, there was an opening in the room. I went in happily, but my mother-in-law..."
I shouldn't call Wang's Auntie... Yang Xuan felt conflicted again, "Auntie is staying inside, and I was beaten with a stick so that I never dare to go near that room again..."
Why does the mother treat her son like this? Is it because she is too poor to take the blame? How could a middle-aged man know the troubles of ordinary people like this? He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the setting sun, as calm as the distant mountains under the setting sun.
Yang Xuan saw that the silent carriage moved. Two maids stood beside the carriage and opened the curtain... One of the maids turned back and said disdainfully: "Turn around!"
Yang Xuan turned around in a hurry and heard a girl's voice.
"Second uncle!"
The middle-aged man who wanted to ask a question turned around and smiled, "Let's rest first and eat later."
She is a noble girl!
Yang Xuan quickly avoided it.
Jin Qiyan came over and saluted: "Erlangjun."
The middle-aged man walked slowly, with Jin Qiyan following beside him.
"Many people in Chang'an City know about my trip this time. The Wang family holds the mines, and the Chunyu family forges weapons. This is a perfect match, but such an industry also attracts many covetous people. There are many people who want to give the Wang family a blow...
…”
Jin Qiyan lowered his head, "I encountered three assassinations along the way, but they are nothing to worry about. I think those people are also clowns."
"So you set up the camp and neglected it?"
The middle-aged man's voice was very soft, but it echoed in Jin Qiyan's ears like thunder. He panicked, "I don't dare, a villain."
The middle-aged man glanced to the right and saw Yang Xuan standing there helping to unload things, "The camp is closed in all directions. If someone wants to rush in, you can probably guess where he comes from and what method he uses?"
Jin Qiyan shook his head, "No."
The middle-aged man sighed: "In that case, why don't you open an opening and let people set a trap behind the opening at night... People! They are greedy people. Why don't you go through a ready-made opening instead of going to a troublesome place?
Think of a way? This is the human heart!"
Jin Qiyan's body trembled, "Er Langjun is brilliant."
The middle-aged man pointed to Yang Xuan on the right, "It was that young man's idea." He said calmly: "In this way, you know yourself and the enemy, but the people who secretly spy on the Wang family know nothing, and gain the upper hand without fighting. This
The boy... is quite interesting."
It turned out to be him? Jin Qiyan glanced at Yang Xuan and couldn't help but be startled.
"Second uncle."
The girl didn't wear a hat? She was probably bored in the car. Her hair was hanging down, her delicate face was full of impatience, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, "Second uncle, I want to ride a horse!"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Wang's daughter riding a horse outside is a good story, but this is a remote and remote country, and there are bound to be some murderers. Let's wait until we get out of Yuanzhou."
The girl was dissatisfied, "Second uncle, you know how to coax me, hey! Who is that person?"
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Just a country boy."
"Oh!" The girl began to pester her second uncle to be free again...
Yang Xuan hoped to have free food and lodging, and all he needed was dry biscuits and hot water, but he didn't expect that there would be hot soup made with bacon and spices in it.
Yang Xuan was a grateful person. After Wang's meal, he went to help clean up.
At night, he lived in a tent with a man named Huang Laoer.
Yang Xuan knew that this was for surveillance, but he didn't care, so he fell down and went to sleep at night.
Huang Laoer had never seen such a big-hearted person before. He couldn't help being stunned. He smiled for a long time and said: "It's normal for a country boy to not know the reputation of the Wang family."
Then came the long and boring journey.
On the seventh day, as he was about to leave Yuanzhou, Yang Xuan's equestrian skills also showed some signs of improvement.
"Second uncle, I want to vomit."
Apparently the girl couldn't stand it anymore, so she opened the curtain of the car and frequently harassed her second uncle.
After lunch, the middle-aged man reluctantly agreed.
"No running around."
But the freed girl was like a wild horse, rushing out with a few guards.
Yang Xuan accidentally glanced at the girl's profile, and his heart beat like thunder.
Delicate face, small but straight nose, red lips like water chestnuts...
Yang Lue had said that he wanted to marry him, and she was the daughter of a scholar, but once he left, the matter was probably over. Thinking that the girl would be depressed because she could not marry him, Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel guilty. Late
He also felt that he was so handsome and extraordinary, and thought that he would definitely be able to find a beautiful young lady as his wife in the future.
Later, the girl came back reluctantly.
Yang Xuan glanced at her and thought she was so beautiful. The key was that she had an aura of indescribable preciousness, which made people have all kinds of thoughts.
I have no wishful thinking!
Yang Xuan felt guilty. His dream was to find a literate woman as his wife. In the future, he would go hunting and his wife would teach his children how to read at home...
His eyes suddenly glanced at the girl.
The girl was trying to run secretly into the woods to the side, and her naughty look made the middle-aged man smile. Just as he was about to ask someone to bring the girl back, Yang Lue glanced at the girl.
"rude!"
There is no doubt that the Wang family is extremely precious, so if the Wang family's daughter is glanced at by a country boy, it is a toad peeking at her swan-like treason.
The middle-aged man was furious.
The guards were furious...
The girl glanced at Yang Xuan disdainfully, and then her expression changed.
Yang Xuanfei rushed over, hugged her and flew off the horse.
"assassin!"
Only then did his shout come.
The sound of the bowstring is like thunder.
Two arrows pierced through the forest like lightning.
One is aimed at the girl who is being held by Yang Xuan as she falls off the horse, and the other is aimed at the middle-aged man...
"Xian'er!"
The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically.
…
