On the official road going south from Jincheng, Guangjun.
Luochuan returned to the carriage again. With one person missing, the carriage no longer seemed cramped.
The beautiful woman read a book, the heroic woman controlled two daggers flying in her hands, and Luo Chuan leaned against the window and stared at the fertile fields on both sides of the official road in a daze.
After a while of silence, the heroic woman moved her hands to her waist, and the two whirling daggers were submerged into the scabbards with a "snap" sound, "Sir, you exchanged that unknown woman for ten thousand stones of grain, without even a certificate." I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to get a grain of rice, so that’s it, and I told her to come back when she wants to, how could she come back?”
"If you don't come back, you won't come back," Luo Chuan came back from his thoughts and looked at the heroic woman in a funny way, "You said before that since you were saving people, you had nothing to do with her. Now, doesn't this just suit your wishes? "
The heroic woman's face turned red when she heard this, but she just frowned and said, "Of course we have no intention of saving people, but since she was rescued and willingly begged to be the prince's maid, she can't say a word I don’t even say that I can come and leave whenever I want.”
"It's all trivial," Luo Chuan waved his hands indifferently and continued to look out the window, "Look at the fertile fields in Guang County. There are abundant harvests along the way. It can be seen that there is indeed no shortage of food in Sanfu County in Hanzhou."
"If you grow more food, there will naturally be more people waiting to eat it." The heroic woman approached Luo Chuan and looked outside with him. "Except for Zhongjing County, this Guang County should be the place with the largest population we have seen. From the south of Jincheng to here, in addition to fertile fields, there are villages, so densely packed that they are almost all connected. How many people must be waiting to eat."
Luo Chuan nodded, "There are not many carriages and horses on the official road, which is far behind compared with Hanoi County. It's really interesting..."
Naturally, the heroic woman didn't understand what he "meant". She just felt that the harvest scene in front of her made people like it.
"After passing Xiucheng, we will be separated from Li Mujun." Luo Chuan turned to look at the beautiful woman, "We also need to change our appearance."
The beautiful woman looked up at Luo Chuan and then continued to read, "Okay."
The heroic woman asked in surprise, "Xiucheng is still in Guangjun, why don't we separate when we get to Yongchang County?"
"True and false, false and true, Brother Yun is naturally better at doing such things. We just follow his wishes." Luo Chuan shrugged nonchalantly and leaned against the wall of the carriage, "From now on There are only two roads from Yongchang County to Li County, but there are many roads from Xiucheng in Guang County to Yongchang County. Carriages are driving out. Even if I am allowed to intercept them by myself, I can't use too many roads. In the case of manpower, it all depends on luck."
The heroic woman frowned and thought for a while before nodding, "If someone only guards those two roads..."
"Of course we have to guard those two roads," Luo Chuan said with a smile, "but those two main roads cannot be blocked. There are so many cars and horses traveling between the two counties every day. In a place like that, caring people How many more chances are there to take action?"
"Then which way are we going?" The heroic woman frowned even deeper.
Luo Chuan didn't answer, but turned to look out the window, "Wherever you go... it's all up to chance."
——————————————————————
A few days later.
A convoy came up the official road in the north of Yongchang County. In the front of the convoy were three Lijun Qingqi, with two carriages in the middle, and behind them were two Lijun Qingqi.
The leader was Li Mu, the military commander. At this moment, he put up a pergola and looked into the distance. "You can already see the hills outside Tianmen Mountain." While looking at him, he said with a smile to Yiqi beside him, "After that, Even if Tianmen Mountain is back home, we even missed the Liyang Festival in order to go on this mission. Cao Baijiang can also have a good rest and reunite with his family when he goes back this time."
"Yes," the knight riding beside Li Mu said with a smile, touching the three-color ribbon on his arm, "but bringing the young master back is a big deal, and we can't delay the governor's big deal just because of our own trivial matters."
"What Cao Baijiang said is that it's no wonder that the second young master always praises you. A young hero like Cao Baijiang who is dedicated to public service does have a bright future." Li Mu sighed and pointed to the fields on both sides of the official road, "Look , although Yongchang County and our Li County are both poor counties in Hanzhou, the terrain is much lower and gentler, and there are no mountains to isolate them, so life is still much easier."
"Yes," Cao Baijiang followed Li Mu's line of sight to look at the fields on both sides, "Although it is not rich compared to Hanoi County and Guang County, life in Yongchang County is indeed better than in Li County. , but my Li County and Yongchang County have been on good terms for generations, so the prosperity of Yongchang County will give me an extra layer of protection, which is always a good thing."
"That's right!" Li Mu laughed and agreed, "With the Second Young Master here, we can't escape the close relationship between Lijun and Yongchang County for the next hundred years."
Cao Baijiang smiled and nodded.
As we go south, the terrain gradually rises and the road begins to wind. The fields on both sides of the official road gradually become less and less, and there are more shrubs, weeds and large trees that can only be surrounded by a few people.
Entering the mountains.
The sun shone through the leaves and fell on the official road, dappled the people in the motorcade, and the wind from the valley brought a chill.
I don’t know how long they walked forward, but Li Mu and Li Mu, who were chatting and laughing along the way, suddenly shut up. The cavalryman walking on the other side of Li Mu pulled the reins to stop the horse and lowered his voice, " It smells like blood!”
Li Mu nodded, raised his hand to stop the carriage behind him, and quickly scanned the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road. He found nothing. He already had one hand on the handle of the knife, and his murderous aura immediately appeared. It spread, "Alert."
The four cavalrymen in front and behind, including General Cao Bai, drove their horses to surround the two carriages, but Li Mu gently nudged the horse's belly and slowly moved forward.
Everyone is currently at the end of a rugged and gentle slope. If they go further and go around a curve, they should be able to see a long downhill mountain road and the scenery in the valley.
Li Mu drove the horse forward carefully, but his eyes quickly scanned the mountains and forests on both sides. After rounding the hillside, he saw two carriages in the valley ahead that were exactly the same as the carriages in his convoy. But at this moment, the two vehicle frames in the valley had already been broken into several pieces, and the inside and outside of the carriage were a mess of blood and flesh!
"Retreat!" Li Mu turned the horse's head and ran back, but he was suddenly startled. Just as he finished speaking, the echo had not yet disappeared, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the forest more than 100 meters behind the convoy. There was a sound, and then wild animals such as elk, wild bulls, etc. rushed out first, running along the official road towards the convoy!
Then there were more beasts roaring in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road!
"Complete the team, forward!" Li Mu had already rushed back to the two carriages and shouted quickly, "The cavalry will clear the way, and the carriages will follow..."
"call out!!"
Two rays of light, one blue and one red, intersect in mid-air, touching each other!
But the collision at that moment created a sunburst out of thin air in this valley! !
Like the sun in the sky! !
"Boom!!!"
