It has to be said that Yelvertu's worries are not unfounded. Even if he uses the banner of the Great Xia Mission, there are still bold masters who want wealth rather than life, and they have the idea of robbing the mission, and there are more than one group.
Because they were on the territory of the Liao Kingdom, it was not convenient for the Shen family's army to take action. Every time they encountered robbers, they only needed to protect the ten carts, and left everything else to the guards sent by Yelulan.
Just when they were about to arrive at the border town of Liao Kingdom, less than fifteen miles away, another group of thieves appeared. Their attitude was even more aggressive than the previous two waves, and they even said a lot of unpleasant things. .
"General!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu rode up to Shen Cha's side, "Let's stop being polite to them and let's fight!"
"Go!" Shen Cha nodded, "No need to leave anyone alive!"
"Got the order!"
Seeing Mei Lin and Mei Zhu Pegasus rushing to the leader of the robbers, without talking nonsense to them, one swung his whip and hit his head directly, while the other stabbed out his spear and went straight to the chest. Shen Cha and Jin Jing exchanged words. He glanced at Yelulan's personal guard commander at the same time.
"Do it!"
"Yes, General Shen." The guard commander waved his hand, and the guards led by him rushed forward.
This group of thieves had never seen this posture before, and they had never seen the person being robbed so violent. They knew that this was the Daxia envoy. If it were not an envoy, they would not rob. What they liked was the large amount of property the envoy carried. Before they took action, they didn't know much about who was leading the mission. They thought they were all civil servants like before. They would run away after robbing, and the weaklings who could only read couldn't catch up with them anyway.
The robbers had good intentions, but as soon as the posture was opened, they were confused. What kind of weaklings were they? It was obviously a tiger coming out of the mountain!
This is called regret for them. If possible, they don't want to have anything to do with these ruthless people. But now I want to turn around and run away, but I can't run away. Yelulan's guards have already surrounded this place tightly. If you dare to go past, you will either die or be seriously injured.
The small-scale fight ended quickly, leaving no one alive except the two leaders of the robbers.
"General! Strategist!" The guard commander threw the two tied leaders in front of Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "How to deal with them?"
"Ask them what they have done before. You can record them and hand them over to the local authorities. You can also kill them directly."
"You Xia people have no right to deal with us. We are Liao people. If we want to deal with it, we must have our own people." One of the leaders yelled, "Do you know who the uncle is? Do you know who the uncle's brother-in-law is?"
The captain of the guard raised his hand to give the leader a hilt, but was stopped by Shen Cha. Before he could speak, they heard the sound of horse hooves. Everyone followed the sound and saw a horse team galloping towards their direction. .
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, come and save me!" the leader shouted at the top of his voice, "I was bullied by these Xia people!"
The man at the front slowed down in advance, and when he reached the location of the envoy, he quickly jumped off his horse, looked at the guards in front of him, and took out his token.
"Xiao Jianchuan, the lower official, would like to see General Shen of Daxia."
"please!"
The man who called himself Xiao Jianchuan knelt down on one knee and saluted the two of them as soon as he arrived in front of Shen Cha and Jin Jing.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" The leader shouted towards Xiao Jianchuan, "Help me!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Jianchuan knelt on the ground, turned around and roared at the leader, then turned back and looked up at Shen Cha on the horse, "General, I'm lowered..."
"Commander Yelu!" Shen Cha looked at the guard commander, "Since there are officials involved this time, it is not convenient for us to interfere in your affairs, please!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard nodded and waved his hand, "Tie them all up."
Xiao Jianchuan, and the fifteen people he brought with him, were all tied up by Yelulan's personal guards, and their mouths were also gagged.
The leader who was still clamoring just now was paralyzed on the ground. He never expected that the Daxia envoy was actually escorted by Liao soldiers, and the leader turned out to be from the Yelu family. This knowledge made him very scared. He should have caused a big trouble for his brother-in-law. After all, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Yelu family was on the same level. If the Xiao family fell into the hands of the Yelu family, there would never be a good end.
Shen Cha didn't care much about Xiao Jianchuan and the two robbers. How to deal with them was the Liao people's own business. She only had one idea now, which was to leave the Liao Kingdom and return to her long-lost home.
When they arrived at the border town, the sky had already darkened. Shen Cha and Jin Jing discussed it and rested in the post house for one night before leaving the city the next morning.
"Go to rest early, Brother Xiaojing." Shen Cha stood at the door of his room and smiled at Jin Jing, "I'll be home tomorrow."
"You too, I've been very tired during this period. I still have to think about how to explain to Hao Lin that you have lost weight." Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Xiao Qi is gone?"
"Well, let her go back and report the news. With her pace, she can be home before the update is scheduled."
The two chatted for a while, said good night to each other, and walked into their rooms respectively.
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu waited for Shen Cha to finish washing and looked at her lying on the bed before quietly leaving. Before leaving, tell Shen Cha that they are in the next room. If anything happens, knock on the wall behind and they can rush over.
Shen Cha nodded in agreement, watched them leave, and lay flat on the bed, not even the slightest bit sleepy.
During more than a month in Linhuang Mansion, her whole body was in a tense state. Even when she was sick, she did not relax at all. In a strange place, there are too many people and things to deal with, as well as unexpected emergencies. It feels like every day goes by very fast, and there is never enough time. At that time, occasionally when she couldn't sleep because she was too tired, she thought about Jiaping Pass City, Master and Uncle Yan, Brother Xiaotian, and most of the time, she thought about her brother.
Shen Cha turned over and sighed again. She felt that this person really wanted to cherish the people around him and the people in front of him. When we were together every day, he didn't understand what missing was, and he would laugh at the drama in his heart. The dialogue and lyrics of those scenes involving the scholar and lady are sour. But once she left, she felt the feeling of missing him.
She felt that if her brother appeared in front of her at this time, she would rush over and hug him without hesitation. It's a pity that this can only be her imagination. With her brother's rigorous temperament, he can't do such crazy things.
Thinking, thinking, Shen Cha felt that his consciousness began to blur, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze. At this moment, a black shadow quietly came through the window and ran to the bed quietly.
The moment the dark figure came in, Shen Cha woke up immediately. He quickly turned over and sat up. When he saw the figure approaching the bed, he raised his leg to kick him.
However, when she saw the eyes of the masked figure, she took back her kicked legs.
"You are so brave, aren't you afraid of being discovered by others?"
"In this post house, up and down, inside and outside, besides you, who else has this ability?"
The masked man in black pulled off the scarf on his face, revealing his true face, smiled at Shen Cha, and opened his arms.
Shen Cha decided to follow what he had just thought and pounced directly over.
"Welcome back!"
"I'm back, brother!"
