The next day, Qiao Lan got up early and washed up under the care of her maid.
The weather today is not very good. The sky is covered with gray-white clouds, and a group of red clouds is hanging in the east. After the clouds fade, the clouds seem to be heavier, and the house is even more depressing.
Zishan caught a glimpse of the sky outside the window and hesitated for a moment, then handed over a handkerchief to Qiao Lan to wipe her face and said, "Old madam, it looks like it's going to rain outside. I'm afraid it won't be easy to travel today!"
There are mountains and forests all the way, which is not easy to walk. If it rains, it will be even more difficult.
Thanks to the system's weather detection, Qiao Lan knew a few days in advance that it would rain today.
If he hadn't received the note, Qiao Lan would have thought it was nothing. Rain was just an ordinary thing.
But after receiving the note, Qiao Lan's mentality changed.
There were so many people surrounding her, it was not easy to take her away.
Although rain is troublesome, it can hide your whereabouts very well.
However, she was not the one who made the decision along the way.
Qiao Lan was traveling with an adult named Qiu, and he decided the route and travel time.
Qiu Mingshu quickly sent someone to send a message.
He said that if he could go on his way as usual, he could save more people from the fire and water if he could get the morning off.
The maids in the room were all aggrieved and worried that Qiao Lan couldn't bear it.
Not to mention that it is easy to get into trouble on a rainy day, the roads around Linggan County are not good to begin with. The surrounding terrain is undulating and uneven, with steep mountains and rapid rivers. If it rains heavily, the rivers will overflow.
If something happens on a rainy day, who can guarantee their master's safety?
After hearing this, Qiao Lan comforted the maid in the house: "It's okay! With so many people on the road, you're not afraid even if something happens?"
Don't say it's hard for them to get on the road, even if Mr. Helan's people come over, they won't be able to take her away.
But if the timing is not good today, I might have to wait another day to come back.
With this in mind, Qiao Lan had breakfast and got into the carriage.
Qiao Lan has been staring at the system map, looking at people who may be lurking around.
When he was feeling groggy after lunch, the carriage continued to move forward, and Qiao Lan finally saw the person shown on the mini-map!
They were all squatting around the woods, thirty or forty people!
But there are hundreds of people in their line, can they beat them?
A man lying on the low grass stared at the road ahead with squinted eyes. After seeing the motorcade in the distance, he raised his hand.
"Get ready to take action!" the man said softly, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
"Yes, brother!"
The vehicle continued to move forward, and suddenly there was a slight movement from the steep mountain walls on both sides.
Everyone looked around for the noise and finally discovered that it was coming from the steep hills on both sides. Unfortunately, they found it too late.
A large amount of gravel rolled down from both sides, directly disturbing the horses in front, and they galloped out with the people on them.
"The horse is frightened! Quick, hold the reins!" A man suddenly said.
A dozen horses were walking in front, and seven or eight horses were frightened and ran away, charging forward. Some people pulled the reins to control the horses, while others fell off the horses.
The scene immediately became chaotic.
Hearing the movement outside the carriage, the maid next to Qiao Lan looked sad. "What happened? Why is it so chaotic outside?"
Several maids were worried and opened the car curtain to see what was going on outside.
Suddenly, I saw a group of tall and strong men with their faces covered and holding swords walking out of the forest, and I immediately gasped!
"Old madam, there are thieves outside!" Yinque said with a pale face.
The expressions of the other maids were not much better, but Grandma Xiang looked calm.
Aunt Xiang patted Yinque's back a little harder to signal her to be careful. Then she turned to Qiao Lan and said, "Old madam, don't worry. Those sent by His Majesty to escort the old madam are all elites. How can it be?"
Can it be compared to the wild grass in the mountains?"
What if it wasn’t grass in the mountains?
The expression on Qiao Lan's face never changed, she just said calmly: "There are many of us, don't be afraid!"
That's what they say, but if people outside really can't beat her, she's the one who should be afraid!
As the sounds of roaring and fighting rang out, a group of maids in the carriage shivered in fear.
Qiu Mingshu immediately turned around and looked at the carriage where Qiao Lan was sitting behind him.
"Leave twenty people with me to escort the old lady to Linggan County to move reinforcements! The rest of the people stop them!" Qiu Mingshu shouted.
The huge team immediately divided into two parts, and Qiu Mingshu led only that small part out.
Then he rode to Qiao Lan's carriage and said hurriedly: "Ms. Nujun, we have encountered a bandit. I will escort Nujun to a safe place first!"
"Thank you, sir!" Qiao Lan responded. As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage immediately turned around and began to jolt violently.
Qiao Lan sat on the carriage and felt the bumps several times as much.
He had no choice but to hold on to the inner wall of the carriage with a few people in the carriage, trying not to be thrown away.
Qiao Lan never moved her eyes away from the system map until she saw someone standing on the roadside half a mile away.
What’s more! As expected of Mr. Helan, you are so well prepared!
A dozen or so people gathered on the roadside, and it was hard for Qiu Shuming to go blind even if he wanted to.
They could only give the order again, and send out most of the people to stop them and let the queen's carriage continue to move forward.
After a brief exchange of weapons, the number of guards beside Qiao Lan's carriage was reduced to three people, including Qiu Shuming, and the carriage continued to run forward.
When he ran to the river, Qiu Shuming suddenly said, "I know there is a path here. Go around it from the other side of the river and follow me!"
No one in the carriage could see the situation, but Qiao Lan could see clearly through the system map. There were four or five people waiting on the so-called side road, just around the corner not far away.
Could it be that Qiu Shuming is also from Mr. Helan?
Qiao Lan couldn't figure it out for the moment.
The carriage also turned into a small road, with thick woods on the left and right, blocking most of the view.
Qiu Shuming's eyes flashed and he spoke again: "Stop! We can't outrun them like this. Let me escort the queen to ride away first! You take the carriage and go another way!"
The carriage said and stopped.
Hearing Qiu Shuming's words outside the carriage, several maids in the carriage strongly disagreed. The old lady couldn't sit on a horse with such a body?
But before this doubt could be expressed, the coachman's scream and the horse's neighing could be heard outside.
Grandma Xiang was so frightened this time that she didn't know what had happened. She pretended to be calm and opened the curtain, but her hands could not help but tremble.
I saw Qiu Shuming holding a bloody long knife that had just been withdrawn, and two bodies lying on the ground with blood pouring from them.
Qiao Lan sat in the carriage and took a few glances, because several people standing on the roadside also rushed over.
Qiu Shuming noticed the eyes in the car and showed his usual kind smile: "You have disturbed the lady! The lady is a hero among women, so she will not be frightened by these things."
"If you want to walk more comfortably on the road ahead, you have to get off the carriage yourself! It's troublesome to do anything in the carriage!" Qiu Shuming's tone was extremely gentle.
Qiao Lan took a look at the system's danger value, which was extremely healthy.
He took another look at the girls in the car who were shaking like a sieve, and then pushed away Grandma Xiang's hand that was trying to hold them back. "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Qiao Lan comforted her, and then resolutely got out of the carriage.
Because the revenue data of this book is not very good, the editor asked me to finish it immediately. I originally planned to write some other supporting roles later, but I can't write it now. There is no other way after signing the contract. I fought hard and I can finish it within 80,000 yuan. I will try my best to finish it.
