Shen Changze lay down angrily, thinking about it over and over again and said unwillingly: "If I were afraid of his threat, I would just kill him. Why go to such trouble and leave hidden dangers."
The person on the bed breathed lightly and did not respond.
Shen Changze felt tight in his chest, feeling like he was punched on cotton, so weak that he had a heart attack.
No wonder she had been cold towards him these past few days and had a bad look on her face. That was how it was.
The two of them lived in the same house but had different dreams, and separated from each other in separate beds.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Shu woke up, the ground was empty. The quilt used by Shen Changze to make the floor was stacked at the foot of the bed.
Jiang Shu got up and got out of bed, calling Tan Yu to wash herself.
Tan Yu entered the house carrying a basin and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Did Madam and the Marquis quarrel?"
"Why do you ask?" Jiang Shu was stunned. Was she so obvious?
Tan Yu said: "The Marquis left for Beijing just after dawn, with a cold face and said nothing."
He left her and left?
Jiang Shu was stunned and a little unbelievable.
"Madam, what should we do?" Tan Yu asked while sending a message to Jiang Shuwan.
Jiang Shu pursed her lips: "Pack your things and leave as soon as possible."
It takes more than half a day to get to Beijing from here. If we delay for a long time, we may not be able to enter the city before sunset.
Shen Changze only took Huo Chong with him, and the two rode away, leaving the carriage and guards with Jiang Shu.
After having a casual breakfast, Jiang Shu took the time to get on the road and head to Shangjing.
For safety and ease of walking, I followed the official road straight down the mountain.
Halfway through, the official road was blocked by a few large rocks rolled down the mountain, making it impossible to cross and had to take a detour.
Jiang Shu lifted the car curtain, looked at the receding trees and mountains outside, and frowned slightly.
Shen Changze was riding a horse, his pace was faster than that of a carriage, and he should have entered the city by now.
I wonder what everyone in the family will think if he returns home alone, and what kind of speculations and rumors will arise.
Jiang Shu didn't understand why he wouldn't even give her this bit of dignity when she tried so hard to help him plan.
Was everything she did for him worth it?
While his thoughts were racing, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the huge inertia forced Jiang Shu to fall forward, almost falling.
"Be careful, madam." Tan Yu supported Jiang Shu, opened the car door and asked the guard: "How do you drive?"
There was a guard on the shaft of the car driving, and five guards followed behind for protection.
At this time, they all looked on guard, pulled out the swords from their waists, and stood ready to say: "Protect Madam!"
what happened?
Tanyu raised his head and saw a group of vicious bandits carrying swords on the narrow mountain road, staring at them like wolves.
She hurriedly closed the car door, protected Jiang Shu and said, "Madam, hide quickly."
They originally brought a dozen guards with them on this trip, but half of them were left to catch Zhao Dezhu in Cenhe Village. Shen Changze took Huo Chong away, leaving only six guards.
Tan Yu was panicking, not sure whether the six guards could defeat a group of bandits.
She just took a cursory glance and found that there were at least twenty bandits.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu still didn't understand what happened.
"The bandits blocked the road and robbed them." Tan Yu's voice trembled and her face turned pale.
Jiang Shu immediately understood their situation.
The bandits were all sent out in groups, and the six guards would probably be difficult to defeat.
If they only rob money, I'm afraid they will also kill and prostitute.
She is the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an. How can she survive if she loses her innocence?
Listening to the sound of fighting outside the car, Jiang Shu's pretty face turned pale and tense. She used her reason to force herself to stay calm and quickly thought of ways to escape.
She quietly lifted the corner of the car curtain and peeked into what was going on outside.
The bandits were outnumbered, and the guards were already injured, but they were still trying to protect the carriage.
"Looking for death! Go to me!" the bandit leader gave the order, and the attack became more and more fierce.
In a few seconds, two guards fell.
She can't sit still and wait for death!
Jiang Shu quickly looked around and saw that there were mountains and forests on both sides with no way to escape. The mountain road ahead was the only way to survive.
"Where's the dagger?" She lowered the car curtain and asked Tan Yu.
Tan Yu hurriedly found the dagger and handed it to her.
Jiang Shu pulled out the dagger and held it tightly, asking Tan Yu to open the car door. She quickly rushed to the shaft of the car and plunged the dagger in her hand into the horse's ass.
The decisiveness of his attack and the firmness of his eyes made Tan Yu so amazed that he forgot to be afraid.
The injured and painful horse let out a scream and ran wildly.
The sudden change caught the bandits by surprise. When they came to their senses, the carriage had knocked away several bandits and ran away.
"What are you doing standing still? Chase me!" The bandit leader took the lead and chased after him with a broadsword in his hand.
"Hold them!" The four injured guards fought with the pursuing bandits regardless of their lives.
However, they were outnumbered and soon they all fell.
The extremely vicious bandits chased forward on horseback, and soon caught up with the carriage.
Neither Jiang Shu nor Tan Yu knew how to drive a horse, so they could only let their horses run wildly. They accidentally ran into a mountain path, and were soon blocked by branches and weeds, making them unable to move forward.
Before being caught up by bandits, Jiang Shu decisively abandoned the car and ran away.
"Madam, I 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 persisted, running forward with all his strength.
When they reached the point where their legs were as heavy as lead, Jiang Shu did not dare to stop, because once they stopped, what awaited them would be life worse than death.
"They're in front."
"Drive, drive, drive!"
After all, two legs were no match for four legs, and they were quickly overtaken.
"Madam, please leave quickly." Tan Yu pushed away Jiang Shu's hand that was holding her tightly.
Looking back at the bandits behind him, Tan Yu knew that he couldn't run away and wanted to buy more time for Jiang Shu.
What if, what if a miracle happens?
"Tan Yu." Jiang Shu didn't dare to stop and ran forward with tears in his eyes.
"This maid is given to you, Zhao Dezhu, let's go after the one in front."
"Mrs. Houfu, I want to taste what it's like!"
The bandit leader licked his tongue and stared at Jiang Shu's figure who fled in panic, like a hunter staring at his prey in a desperate situation.
"Hey, I guarantee you will be as happy as a god, and you will never forget it even if you become a ghost." Zhao Dezhu's eyes were red and his heart was full of lust.
He escaped from Cenhe Village four days ago and knew he had nowhere to go. He hated Shen Changze's ruthlessness and coveted Jiang Shu's beauty, so he found a group of desperate bandits.
"Madam." Tanyu was surrounded by a group of lewd bandits, watching them approaching her, with tears streaming down her face in despair.
"Whoosh!" A feather arrow shot through the air and shot down a bandit.
"Who is that?" The other bandits turned around quickly and looked around cautiously with their knives in hand.
"Whoosh!" Several more feather arrows flew towards him.
"Drive!" Along with the sound of horse hooves, a group of people appeared, like gods descending.
"Kill!" The bandit rushed over with a knife.
The two parties fought together, and three people came towards Tan Yu on horseback.
As he got closer, Tan Yu recognized the leader at a glance.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, please save my wife!" Tan Yu cried with joy and begged on her knees.
Hearing Tan Yu's words, Yu Zheng's expression changed: "Where is your wife?"
"Over there." Tan Yu pointed out the direction of Jiang Shu's escape with trembling hands.
Yu Zheng whipped his riding whip and ran in the direction of Jiang Shu as quickly as possible.
