Hanzhi and Xiaolian were sitting in the carriage, and the guards were riding horses and following outside the carriage, driving on the official road leaving the capital.
You can't blame those people for not wanting to leave with Hanzhi.
Because Hanzhi went to Yuncheng, which was very far away. It would take at least a month to get from the capital to Yuncheng.
This is just on the road, if there is no horse, it will be longer!
"Miss, you must be hungry, let's have some snacks!" Xiaolian laid out exquisite pastries and placed them on the table next to the carriage.
"It's okay! I'm not very hungry!" Hanzhi looked at the cakes in front of him and said with a smile.
"But it's been almost half a day!"
Xiao Lian felt a little sorry for her young lady. During this journey, the young lady didn't even drink water. Even if she didn't eat or drink, she might not be able to bear it even if she was made of iron!
"Let's see if there is an inn ahead where we can take a rest!" Hanzhi picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, taking a bite.
The pastries settled into her stomach, which relieved her hunger a lot, but she was still not too hungry!
While Hanzhi was eating cakes, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and Hanzhi immediately raised his head and looked out the window warily.
I saw a burly man galloping over on a tall horse, followed by more than a dozen guards holding swords!
"Quickly pull over! Let them go first." Hanzhi hurriedly ordered Xiaolian to slow down the carriage.
After hearing this, Xiaolian immediately opened the car curtain a crack and looked outside: "Miss, what is going on?"
The official road was so wide, and they should have seen their carriage, but the group of people was still moving so fast, without slowing down at all, and not afraid of hitting them.
"They should be some powerful children. We are away from home. It is better to do less than to do more!" Hanzhi replied.
If they were officers, soldiers or guards, they would wear official uniforms instead of civilian clothes like now.
Although the opponent was riding very fast, the material of the clothes could not be seen clearly.
But in this era, those who can afford to buy and use horses must have a high status.
"But."
"We are welcome, let them go first!" Hanzhi said again.
"Oh" Xiaolian had no choice but to put the curtain back.
Xiaolian doesn't know who the other party is, so it's not appropriate to cause trouble.
"Hush!"
When the man arrived near Hanzhi's carriage, he suddenly tightened the reins. The horse neighed in pain and blocked Hanzhi's carriage.
"Mrs. Gu must have brought a lot of money with her when she left Beijing this time! My brothers and I have been tired all the way and are getting thirsty.
Mrs. Gu is a well-known kind-hearted person in the capital. How about giving some money to me and my brothers to drink some tea.
I think Mrs. Gu is so kind that she wouldn’t refuse! "The man said, handed the riding whip to the guards behind him, and motioned for them to hand over the silver.
The guard took the whip and headed towards Hanzhi's carriage.
"Mrs. Gu, you have to think carefully, this is your only chance!" the man said arrogantly.
"You guys." Xiaolian said angrily.
This is the first time Xiaolian has encountered such a robber.
"Mrs. Gu, please rest assured, we are here to protect Mrs. Gu and there will not be any danger.
As for money, I think Mrs. Gu is not short of silver either. She just wants Mrs. Gu to share some, right? "
The man said with a smile and was already standing in front of Hanzhi's carriage.
"What do you want to do?" Hanzhi asked coldly.
"Don't you understand what I want to do, Mrs. Gu?" The man rode a horse and reached out to lift the curtains of the car window.
He quietly studied Han Zhi's appearance.
He found that Hanzhi was looking pretty good, with snow-white skin and a pair of watery eyes. She didn't look like a lady who had left the palace, but more like a young girl who had not left the palace.
Hanzhi frowned, she could feel the murderous aura in the man.
This is near the capital, and there are actually gangsters.
He didn't even hide his face, which was too arrogant.
Giving money is useless.
If he had covered his face, Hanzhi would have believed that they just wanted some money.
I'm afraid they won't be satisfied with a little money and want more.
Several of Hanzhi's guards also reacted at this time and drew their knives one after another. However, they didn't have much experience, so their reaction was a little slow.
"How dare you, my guards are not vegetarians." Hanzhi scolded, "You'd better not move around, otherwise"
"Mrs. Gu, don't threaten me! The last thing we people fear is threats!" The man had a sinister look on his face, "You also know that I can kill these people you are following with just one word.
If Mrs. Gu doesn't want these people to die, then you'd better do what I say! otherwise"
"How dare you touch my young lady!" Xiaolian was angry. Although she was very scared, she still blocked Hanzhi.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities!" The man snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a dozen strong men gathered behind him.
Hanzhi gently pulled Xiaolian away and hit the leading man with a blast of palm wind.
He didn't expect Hanzhi to have such strength. He didn't react for a moment and was knocked off his horse by Hanzhi's palm.
"Come on me!" The man climbed up from the ground and roared, "Come on together!"
Hanzhi raised his eyebrows, and then another blast of palm hit one of the men, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground!
"What are you guys doing standing around here? Why don't you give it to me!"
As soon as Hanzhi finished speaking, her guards woke up, raised their weapons and charged forward.
Seeing Hanzhi's martial arts skills, the man did not dare to confront him head-on, so he could only command his subordinates to attack Hanzhi.
How could a woman have such great kung fu!
How could a woman from Houmen Courtyard have such powerful martial arts!
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Hanzhi snorted coldly, waved his arm, and several powerful internal forces flew towards the man's men.
"Pfft, pfft."
Before the weapons of several men touched Hanzhi's sleeves, the bones in their hands were already broken by the internal force generated by Hanzhi.
The man was horrified, why is this woman so strong?
Hanzhi stood on the carriage, looked at him condescendingly, and asked him coldly: "Who asked you to rob me?"
The man glanced at his companion lying on the ground wailing, then turned to look at Hanzhi, his eyes flickering.
"Are you going to say it or not?" Hanzhi asked coldly.
"Since you want to know, it doesn't matter if I tell you!" the man said.
"Then I'm all ears."
Hanzhi stood on the carriage, her long hair dancing in the wind.
But at this moment, the man's face no longer had the frivolous expression it had before.
He knew that he had encountered a tough problem.
"I was sent by the old lady! She said that you took away all the treasures of the Hou Mansion."
