No matter how good the carriage is, it can't block the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month. No matter how good the carriage is, it's better to sit for a long time than at home. Li Mingqi sneezed in the car.
"Here comes someone." Nian'er immediately called out.
The attendant maid beside the carriage immediately came forward to ask, and Li Fengjing also politely came over to greet him after hearing the news.
The eldest girl wanted to know how hot and cold she was, so Nian'er took the initiative to make a decision: "It's too cold. I've been on the road for three consecutive days. Let's stop and rest early today."
"The entire team will not have any objection to the eldest lady's request.
But after all, she is not the real eldest lady. Li Fengjing couldn't help it: "It's too cold, so we should hurry up and get to Taiyuan Mansion before it snows, otherwise we will be delayed for a long time."
Nian'er was not happy either: "But I'm too tired."
The farthest place she has ever been to is Li Mingqi¡¯s maternal grandfather¡¯s house.
The novelty of the journey and the excitement for the future have now faded away, leaving me feeling exhausted.
Li Mingqi lifted the car curtain: "It's even colder when it snows and you're stuck on the road. My fourth uncle is right."
Xiang Jiuding came over to smooth things over: "We can get to Zhenbao River tomorrow. There is a ferry over there and there is a big post station."
So the carriage and horse continued to move forward, and Nian'er sat back in the carriage, holding a warm hand stove and angrily saying, "He is just a concubine, and he is really acting like a master. What's more, Miss, you are here to help him solve a problem, and he threw the eldest daughter away." The old lady and the second master will skin him."
Li Mingqi was wrapped in a cloak and holding a small cup while drinking tea slowly, not in a hurry or annoyed: "The fourth master is here for the convenience of traveling, don't think too much about it."
"That's not true." Nian'er retorted, "If she were really a eldest lady, the fourth master would definitely not dare to say a word."
"So, what are you complaining about?" Li Mingqi asked.
Nian'er was at a loss for words, and then complimented: "Miss, you are so flattering and humiliating."
Li Mingqi rolled her eyes at her: "I'm not stupid. How could I not know the right balance between true and false? I pretended to be a young lady for others to see, not to trick myself and pour tea."
Li Mingqi stretched the small cup forward.
Nian'er took it with a smile, and then she was about to pick up the teapot from the small stove nearby, when there was noise from outside.
"Take the people back quickly."
"Bring more people."
¡°Turn around, turn around.¡±
A few words came out among the confusion, and the annoyance that Nian'er had just shrank back suddenly emerged again, and he pulled open the curtain: "What's the matter? Why do you have to turn around and go back when you are in a hurry?"
When the car curtains were lifted, the noise became even louder. Many people in the convoy were turning around and gathering back.
The eldest lady¡¯s carriage and horses were always attended by people. When she heard the question, she quickly replied: ¡°It¡¯s not like we¡¯re all going back, but something happened later. The fourth master and Xiang Jiuye want to go take a look.¡±
"What happened?" Nian'er was puzzled.
The attendant seemed to find it difficult to speak, lowering his head and whispering: "The dowry army behind was robbed."
"Who dares to rob us?" Li Mingqi also sat down and asked in surprise.
This is also the question of Li Fengjing and Xiang Jiuding. They did not hide their whereabouts along the way. They hung the flag of the Jiannan Road Governor's Palace and held the name of the Longyou Jiedu Envoy. They were welcomed and entertained by the prefectures and counties wherever they went. Accommodation and board will be arranged, and local dignitaries will also hand over name cards.
They are not nameless civilians walking around in vain.
Although the dowry convoy was exaggerated and eye-catching, the dowry escorts were officers and soldiers, equipped with armor, swords, guns and crossbows.
"It's a bandit." the guard replied.
Bandits are no strangers. Recently, there have always been reports of bandits making trouble. Li Fengjing and Xiang Jiuding looked at each other. They were originally at Xuanwu in Huainan, but they are also causing trouble here?
Xiang Jiuding took out his knife: "It's just that we are not the officers and soldiers of Dou County."
Li Fengjing thought more carefully and stopped Xiang Jiuding: "Yes, those are soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road. How can the bandits do anything to them?"
Don¡¯t act rashly first. If even the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road can¡¯t do anything to the bandits, wouldn¡¯t they be willing to die if they go?
The soldiers escorting the dowry, who were covered in blood and seemed to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses, struggled to call the fourth master: "We were ambushed in a valley. The bandits used smoke and poisonous insects. Everyone was caught off guard. There¡¯s no fighting.¡±
As he spoke, he fell to the ground and sobbed.
Xiang Jiuding was angry: "When it comes to using smoke and poisonous insects, you, the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road, are the best."
In the southern border area of ????Jiannan Road, miasma and snake poison are rampant, especially when fighting against barbarians.
Soldiers lying on the groundHe immediately set off and speeded towards Taiyuan Mansion, writing a letter to Jiannan Road as he was going.
The surviving dowry troops who stayed in place watched the convoy turn into a black dot on the horizon. They who were sitting and lying injured and waiting to die all jumped up, and the decadence on their faces was wiped away.
"Are we going to go with Uncle Yuan and the others?" they asked.
"We stay here to suppress the bandits." The leader, who had been crying in front of Mr. Li Si in a cowardly manner, shook his head solemnly.
Others were confused: "We have killed all the bandits here, and we used them to pretend to be the dead bodies of our people."
The leader looked at the mountains here, the towns in the distance, and the vast world beyond: "The eldest lady asked us to tell the local government that our dowry in Jiannan Road has been hijacked. We want to recover it here. When will we find the dowry? It¡¯s time to leave.¡±
If you can¡¯t find them, of course they won¡¯t leave. If the local government drives them away, they will ask them what their intentions are. Are you with the bandits?
The officials and bandits colluded and went to the court to report them. The banner in the hands of Jiannan Dao'er Jiedushi was not for display.
The leader picked up the Jiannan Dao flag that had fallen on the ground and shook it. The dust-covered and broken flag disappeared suddenly and fluttered in the cold wind.
¡¡
¡¡.
The cold wind in Mobei was already mixed with snowflakes. Wu Yaer stood in the courtyard and carefully swept away the snowflakes. After sweeping away one piece, another fell.
"Crow." Several men opened the door and walked in quickly, "There is news." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
