On the mountain road to Sanqing Temple, the Rong family's carriage was advancing "mightily".
Because of Master Rong's instructions, Rong Feiyan was accompanied by many people. Among them, there were no less than twenty servants and guards to protect his personal safety. Moreover, the four leading ones were all Carrying extremely sharp swords, each one was tall and had fierce eyes.
You must know that knives are banned in this dynasty. If there is not a special channel to get through to the government, just walking around with a knife in public can be convicted and sent to prison.
Although those noble and wealthy families have all kinds of sharp weapons in their homes, most of them are hidden in their homes and not shown to the outside world. As long as they don't run around arrogantly like fools and show off their power, the government will only turn a blind eye. Close one eye and pretend not to know.
However, with the Rong family walking like this, it would be difficult for the government to pretend that they were unaware of it. However, there was another reason why his family was not visited by the government, because these four knives were ordered by Concubine Rong from the current Holy Emperor. given.
The four sword-wielding leaders were not recruited by the Rong family themselves, but were master guards given by the Ouchi Imperial Palace, and the four swords were also proof of their identity and royal authority.
From this, we can also see how favored the Rong family is now.
After all, the imperial conferment of bodyguards is generally an honor that only occurs among princes and important ministers.
on the driveway.
"Peony, how long will it take to arrive?"
In the carriage, Rong Feiyan's somewhat impatient voice came out faintly.
However, although his voice was weak, his tone was filled with the meaning of a spark, as if it had the potential to start a prairie fire.
Outside, after hearing her master's question, the maid Mu Dan didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly looked up at the surrounding mountain roads, made an estimate in her mind for a while, then took a deep breath, calmed down her breath and said, "Back to my lady, it's about There’s still half an hour to go!”
Because the maid Peony was not sitting on the carriage, but walking on the ground with the carriage, her answer was a bit slow.
"Fine."
Rong Feiyan herself had some doubts about this road. Her question this time was just because she disliked the boring journey, so she asked.
Hearing that Rong Feiyan didn't get angry, Mudan felt a little happy.
"Fortunately, today is the day when the girl returns her wish, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to be scolded again!"
Rong Feiyan has an unruly temperament and has no scheming ideas. Although he likes to get angry and curse people from time to time, he rarely hits people. Unlike the Jiacheng County Lord of the Yong Palace, although he pays attention to etiquette and smiles on his face, in fact he often The sticks and sticks will be added to the subordinates' mistakes to show the superior's city.
Comparing the two, the former is like a heartless husky, doing things one after another, with no bad intentions and never lovable, while the latter is more like an elegant and cruel cat, seemingly harmless, but In fact, when you get angry, it will give you a poisonous and spicy claw, which will hurt you to the bone.
"Mudan, tell the people in front to move faster, I have to rush back to the house before dark!"
Recalling her father's order before leaving, Rong Feiyan greeted Mudan.
"Yes, girl."
After Peony outside responded with a crisp response, she was about to go and inform the steward of the trip. However, before she could get to the front, an accident happened.
On the mountain road, in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, which were originally peaceful, many dark shadows suddenly appeared.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a huge ancient tree was knocked down and blocked directly in the center of the road, blocking the route of the Rong family.
"Xu~"
"Hiss~"
The driver and the horse suddenly stopped and neighed loudly.
"who?"
"careful!"
"Everyone be alert!"
The four leading Ouchi guards also reacted quickly. They immediately drew out their swords and stood carefully on guard. At the same time, they did not forget to remind the surrounding guards loudly to keep them alert. .
"ah!"
Mudan, the little maid, was also unlucky. She was just about to run forward and ask the head steward when she was shocked by such a scene!
"Girl Peony, hurry back to the carriage and protect the girl!"
"As long as we are here!"
One of the four guards, a guard named Hu, stepped back while protecting Mudan as he walked back.
"Ah? It's...ok...ok, Brother Hu!"
Peony turned pale and ran back tremblingly!
Not to mention, this peony trots quite fast, but its posture is not very beautiful, like a stumbling little duck.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
On both sides of the dense mountain road, a series of footsteps came from inside.
"No, it's a scam!"
The guard surnamed Hu and his three brothers looked at each other, and they all saw something wrong in each other's eyes.
These people seem to be here just for people in my profession?
Several people were worried and had some ominous premonitions.
"Dare to ask!"
"Why are the heroes across the street here? What's their purpose?"
Among the four people, one person walked out.
"Behind me are the family members of Concubine Rong in the capital. Please show your support and let us go!"
The person who spoke was none other than Guard Hu, and he was the eldest brother among the four.
At this time, although he saw that something was wrong with the situation, he still hoped for a good result, so he opened his mouth and said according to the rules of the road: "Of course, brother is not a person who does not understand etiquette. I still have silver here." One hundred taels, please accept it, brothers, so that we can go have a drink!"
Although the imperial court suffered a setback in the Liang Kingdom, its heritage has not been lost, and trade is still prosperous and in full swing. According to the current market situation, one tael of silver is worth a thousand copper coins, that is, a pennies, while a stone of grain only costs half a pennies. , from which we can also know how much these hundred taels of silver are worth.
pity.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
The thirteen masked men in black who emerged from the opposite side did not make a sound, but what greeted everyone in the Rong family was the sound of swords being drawn.
"kill!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar from the men in black, and then they all rushed in swarm and started slashing at the Rong family's men.
"Not good! Brothers, be careful!"
"Third brother, please protect the girl. The rest of you will follow me!"
Guard Hu roared, then took the lead and immediately led several brothers to charge forward.
"Tear!"
"Pfft!"
"..."
As soon as the troops from both sides came into contact, a large amount of blood immediately erupted!
What was visible to the naked eye was that the hands of the Rong family fell down one after another. The large number of guards who guarded the courtyard were no match for the men in black. They were chopped down to the ground in just a few seconds and fell unconscious.
Except for the guards who came out of the three palaces who could resist one or two, the rest of them were almost no match for the man in black opposite him!
