Chapter 778 Ambush on the Road
"Huh?" Qing Lang stopped him immediately. His young master would not sit with such a stranger at this time. Who knows if he has evil intentions?
Mr. Lin moved away tactfully, with a gleam of light in his small eyes.
"There's no need to travel with us. We want to return to Pingjiang Prefecture as soon as possible, and then we'll ride as fast as we can. We're afraid that the caravan has too much stuff and we won't be able to keep up." Qin Yandong saw that Fang Zhongyi and the other party had almost finished their tricks, so he refused.
Li Dongsheng moved the steaming mutton soup in front of Jiang Youzhen, and Qin Yandong was very surprised when he saw it.
Hmm? This Li Dongsheng? Could he be wearing short sleeves? He was immediately startled.
Jiang Youzhen was also a little surprised. She had her period in the past two days and was very sleepy and afraid of the cold. She really wanted to eat something hot.
Could it be that this kid discovered it? However, Li Dongsheng said, "It smells so bad, try it!"
"That's a shame. Our caravan will set off tonight. Let's say goodbye here first. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
The three men remained silent. They just glanced at them and then looked away.
After dinner, Jiang Youzhen and his friends started packing. Actually, they didn't have much luggage, and Jiang Youzhen put all the frequently used and valuable items into the storage space.
I have to say that it is a must-have tool for home travel.
It was already getting dark at this moment, and Jiang Youzhen and his companions quickly harnessed the carriage and set off.
From here on, the snow gradually disappeared and the temperature became warmer than before.
"Those three people actually followed us. What on earth do they mean? They followed us silently without making any noise and without taking any action."
Li Dongsheng lifted the curtain and looked at the three horses following behind.
Their carriage was actually not as fast as the other party's, but the other party did not overtake them, but rode behind them.
As for Mr. Lin and his group, they had already set off earlier than Jiang Youzhen and his group.
"I'll go and ask!" Qin Yandong was an impatient man. He lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Fang Zhongyi couldn't help but be curious and asked Jiang Youzhen, "What do you think they want to do?"
"How should I know?" Jiang Youzhen sighed.
"It's not for protecting us anyway." Li Dongsheng said unhappily.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea. Could it be true? But who sent this person? And why was he so arrogant?
Qin Yandong came back soon, but he looked in a bad mood and as if he was very angry.
"Do you know what those three said? They actually said that this road is not ours and they can leave if they want! But they clearly said before that they were going to the capital, which is the opposite direction from us."
"Hahaha!" Li Dongsheng laughed when he heard that. "You'll only get humiliated for one day."
"He's following us for no apparent reason. There must be something fishy going on." Qin Yandong frowned. This Li Dongsheng was too heartless.
"Since he has no ill intentions towards us, let's just ignore him." Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
"What if they follow us when we do something in the future? Are they here to monitor us?" Fang Zhongyi also felt that something must be wrong.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes!" Jiang Youzhen yawned. She felt cold all over. She planned to wrap herself in another cloak.
"There's a charcoal stove in this carriage, why are you wearing so many clothes?" Qin Yandong was very puzzled. Jiang Youzhen was already wearing thick enough clothes, not to mention he was wearing a cloak!
"I'm not as resistant to cold as you martial artists!" Jiang Youzhen responded casually.
"Scholars are delicate and weak!" Qin Yandong muttered.
Before dawn, we finally arrived at Tianfu.
Qin Yandong asked him to take his post to see the prefect. Anyway, their whereabouts were transparent and there was nothing to hide.
On the contrary, with such a high-profile move, those people would have to consider how to proceed.
The prefect of Tianfu was named Wan Hong. After Jiang Youzhen and his companions went to the government office to pay a visit, they sat for a while and then prepared to set off again.
After politely declining Wan Hong's hospitality, Jiang Youzhen and his companions started on their journey again.
They were almost reaching the southern border, and Jiang Youzhen and his companions changed horses in Tianfu.
They didn't meet Mr. Lin and his companions along the way, and the three businessmen were nowhere to be seen.
When they switched to horses, the speed was very fast. They carried simple bags on their backs and rode as fast as they could.
"There are four or five carriages ahead." Fang Zhongyi had just come back from exploring the road. "It seems to be the same caravan as before. I saw Mr. Lin's followers."
"Stay alert, and move slowly." Qin Yandong, Li Dongsheng and others surrounded Jiang Youzhen in the center and slowed down.
Master Lin and his companions were startled when they heard the sound of horse hooves. Several of the guards protected the carriage in the middle and looked at Jiang Youzhen and his party with vigilance.
Jiang Youzhen found that many of the guards looked unfamiliar. These people did not even enter the lobby to eat yesterday.
Seeing that the other party was more vigilant than them, Jiang Youzhen and his team asked one person to explore the way ahead, and the others followed closely behind.
Jiang Li is good at martial arts, so he will take the lead.
Mr. Lin lifted the curtain and found that it was Jiang Youzhen and his group. He was surprised to see that they had changed horses.
Before I could even say hello, Jiang Youzhen and the others had already quickly left.
After walking for another hour, Jiang Youzhen and his companions finally rested on the spot.
We set up a small clay stove and started to boil water and make steamed buns. We also provided meat for the past two days, but there were few vegetables, which made people feel a little sick of eating them.
Just when they had almost finished eating, they heard the sound of a carriage moving on the official road.
"This direction, could it be that Mr. Lin? So fast?" Fang Zhongyi was very surprised.
The carriage soon approached, and it turned out to be Master Lin and his party.
However, something strange happened. A lot of black-clad warriors rushed down from the trees and headed towards Jiang Youzhen and the others.
"Protect Jiang Youzhen! Be alert!" Qin Yandong shouted immediately, drew his sword and retreated to Jiang Youzhen's side.
Qing Lang and the others treated them as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Looking at the killer falling from the sky, they took out their sleeve arrows and fired at the sky.
Everyone below shot out their sleeve arrows. Even Jiang Youzhen was not surprised. They were all good archers. Although they couldn't hit the target every time, they could at least hit 80% of the time.
Before they landed, more than a dozen soldiers were killed.
Seeing that some of the warriors were about to retreat, one of them said, "Kill! They are out of arrows!"
Jiang Youzhen held a long sword in his hand and saw that the two sides were fighting quickly, so he wanted to step forward to help.
"Little ancestor, just stay here and don't move." Li Dongsheng was so scared when he saw Jiang Youzhen was about to rush out that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Li and his men also stood around Jiang Youzhen, ready to kill anyone who came. This time Jiang Youzhen brought six guards, all of whom were very talented and hardworking teenagers.
"Kill Jiang Youzhen!" one of the assassins shouted.
Then these people's attacks became more and more fierce, as if they would not stop until Jiang Youzhen was killed.
"Archers prepare!"
At some point, a number of archers appeared from the side, drew their bows and shot arrows upon hearing the words, without caring at all about the safety of the dead soldiers present.
Are these two groups of people? Jiang Youzhen's face darkened, and just as she was about to take action, three swordsmen descended from the sky.
