Chapter 2 Bandits
The guards followed the order and walked forward with the reins. Before they could protect the two of them, they heard a shout on both sides, interrupting Mu Yun's impatient nagging. About thirty or forty people rushed out from behind the grass and trees on both sides and surrounded everyone.
Mu Yun's impatient tone changed tone in the middle: "Hey-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the people in front of me were not well-dressed, they looked very strong, and they were also shining with swords and weapons, looking like serious bandits.
Mu Yun sneered: "In the future, whether local officials are capable depends on local bandits. The more bandits, the stronger they are, the more wealthy they are, which means that local officials are capable. If bandits are like weak people, then local officials will definitely be corrupt officials who can only exploit them."
Zhao Yan curled the corners of his mouth, Mu Yun's words sounded exaggerated and funny, but they were not without reason. What can bandits grab in places that are too poor? Only in places that are rich can there be oil and water.
However, if local officials can do their best to govern one area and the people live and work in peace, how could there be so many bandits? Zhao Yan's eyes were deep and looked into the distance. The bandits in the three northwest governments were rampant, and the court was still singing and dancing to peace. Is the chaos in the world still far away?
The bandits naturally would not be foolishly waiting for Mu Yun and Zhao Yan to chat. They were the lead of a short-legged man in his thirties, picking up a mace, standing in the middle of the room, tilting his head up and down to look at Mu Yun on the horse, and laughing for a while: "I'm really lucky today. I ran into a young lady dressed in a man. Brothers, go quickly! I'll catch the beauty and be the wife of the village for everyone!"
The gangsters responded, and they wanted to steal people by picking up weapons. Mu Yun was almost angry when he said to him as the wife of the village. He immediately reacted, no, the point is not this, the point is---When did he disguise himself as a man? He is just a man, okay!
He hated others the most in his life to compare him to a woman. In anger, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and pointed it at the man: "Don't you be so stinky! You are so talented and damn talented as a man, no! Just like you are so ugly, pretending to be a woman can spit out even the night dinner!"
He turned around and raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Fan Baihu, kill all these bastards for me, I will be rewarded with great rewards!"
After saying that, we should go forward and fight against the bandits.
Fan Ju replied loudly, calling out the guards to draw their swords and step forward.
The short-legged man heard him curse with a rough voice, raised his mace and rushed over to meet the battle, and continued to tease him: "It turns out that he made a mistake, he is really not a female!"
Another robber laughed and said, "As long as you have a good birth, what's the relationship between male and female?"
"Brother Jin said it well! Grandma, you're a bear, don't worry about his male and female, catch it first!" The short-legged man knocked over the guard in front of the palace with a stick and shouted.
Mu Yun was furious and pushed away the crowd and rushed straight to the dwarf man.
When Mu Yun was in the capital, his health was a little unstable, and the imperial physician could not diagnose any problems. The eldest princess and the queen mother did not allow him to go out this time, but Mu Yun was so detained in the capital that he had a chance to go out, so how could he give up easily? He forced himself to follow Zhao Yan out.
Zhao Yan was not sure about the strength of these bandits and was worried that he would lose money, so he hurriedly followed him to cover it. But everyone in the capital knew that he had good kung fu and had nothing to hide.
The two of them rode their horses in the crowd, and they were placed in a few rounds.
Fan Ju was selected by the Queen Mother to protect her grandson, so his subordinates were naturally unambiguous. The people in the guard camp in front of the palace were at least regular soldiers, and they were not even stronger than a bunch of bandits.
The short-legged man couldn't dodge and was slashed on the arm with a knife. Fortunately, Mu Yun was weak and weak, otherwise one arm would be in danger.
The short-legged man was really afraid of death, so he screamed like a pig, turned his head and ran away, shouting as he ran: "The wind is tight, huh!"
When they ran to the mountain first, the rest of the people abandoned their opponents and fled in a panic.
This man comes quickly and goes faster. He really bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong to a certain level.
Mu Yun was still angry and hated, and chased the horse for a few steps, but was stopped by Zhao Yan from behind. Without knowing the other party, he was unwise to make a rash move.
Although Mu Yun did not do his best in this fight, he still felt a burst of annoyance in his chest, his heart pounding, and sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
Zhao Yan helped him off the horse, frowned and asked, "How about it, why don't you take a rest and take a pill?"
The empress dowager was worried and asked Dr. Jiang to make pills for Mu Yun before leaving, in case of emergency.
It’s strange that when Zhao Yan approached, Mu Yun’s symptoms of weakness and discomfort just now suddenly disappeared. His whole body seemed to be comforted, and he seemed to feel much more relaxed on his shoulders. He shook his head and smiled and said, “It’s okay, I haven’t eaten yet. I’ll make up for it in a while.”
Zhao Yan knew that he loved to show off his strength, so he didn't persuade him. Seeing his face gradually recovered from a little bit of human nature, he set off.
Moling Mansion has many mountains, roads are difficult to walk, and the weather is hot. Zhao Yan is worried about Mu Yun's health. They are not in a hurry, so they slowly walked slowly and walked for nearly a month before they reached the place.
This section of the road is high, winding down in a circle, looking into the distance, you can already see the outline of the city wall at the end of your sight.
Mu Yun immediately put on a shed and looked away, and couldn't help cheering: "It's here! Finally arrived! This Luo Shizi Qiyuan County is so far away. I'm so tired of walking such a long way for me to grow up! "
The guards were all happy when they heard this. They finally had a rest and relaxed well. They were rushing on the hot weather, and the taste was really not very wonderful.
Zhao Yan immediately stood up, and within his sight, he could see the outline of the city wall that could not be blocked by the green mountains.
The so-called "Seeing the Mountain" to death, although you have seen the city walls of Qiyuan County, when you run outside the city, the sky has become darker. In the twilight, smoke from the cooking stoves in the city walls is curling, and with the cool evening breeze gradually dissipates in the sky.
Everyone got off the horse and entered the city gate. Qu Kui, who arrived at the daqian station, was looking around at the city gate. When he saw the two of them, he hurriedly met, took Mu Yun's reins and said, "Criminal Zhao, the eldest son, the lower place has been found, right in Suiyun Villa in the south of the city. Suiyun Villa is a villa of a Wang merchant in Qiyuan County. It is used to receive wealthy merchants and powerful people. It is much cleaner and more comfortable than the inn."
While dismounting, Mu Yun said "um" while frowned, looking at Qi Yuancheng under the setting sun, and muttered: "This broken place!"
Zhao Yan nodded and thanked him, then turned his head to look at Fan Ju, took out a hundred taels of silver bill from his arms and handed it over: "Fan Baihu and his brothers worked hard all the way, and when they entered the city, the brothers also went to find fun, they were relaxed and exhausted."
Fan Ju smiled and said, "How can you be so embarrassed? The Empress Dowager has given her a reward and let the prince spend money. I am really sorry for Bei Yi!"
Having said that, he took the silver notes without any ambiguity.
Mu Yun said, "You will take it for you." Before he finished talking so much nonsense, Fan Ju had already put the silver notes in his arms.
Fan Ju didn't expect Mu Yun to add this sentence, and his embarrassing expression flashed and then he smiled embarrassedly.
Chapter completed!
