"Don't look out!"

As the voice fell, the woman reached out and pulled Kong Yueqing back, preventing her from sticking her head out.

Kong Yueqing turned around and looked at her mother in confusion.

The woman said: "When the horse bandits see that there are so many guards in our convoy, they might let you go with a small amount of money. But if you are seen by the horse bandits, they might even arrest you."

"Listen to me, my daughter won't watch anymore." Kong Yueqing leaned in, fearful of falling into the hands of the bandits.

She could guess what would happen to a good family's daughter if she fell into the hands of a bandit.

The woman closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and muttered words, constantly begging to the gods and goddesses in the sky to protect their family from being targeted by horse bandits.

Maybe the god was not at work and her begging had no effect.

The sound of horse hooves outside the carriage became louder and louder, indicating that the horse bandits were getting closer and closer. It was not until the sound of galloping horses appeared near the convoy that it disappeared, leaving only the scattered sound of horse hooves trampling the ground and the short snort of horses.

At the same time, the motorcade stopped.

"Mom, there seems to be something wrong with the movement outside. Horse bandits may have surrounded the convoy." Kong Yueqing, who had been paying attention to the noise outside, looked nervous.

The woman who heard the words opened her eyes, listened attentively, and comforted her daughter: "Just stay in the car and don't move. Mom will take a look and see what's going on."

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the car window and poked her head out slightly.

Whoosh!

The head that poked out quickly retracted.

"Mom, what's going on outside?" Kong Yueqing asked nervously.

The woman's hands became trembling and she stammered: "Horses, the horse bandits are blocking the convoy. I don't know if the guards sent by the son-in-law can get through."

Kong Yueqing moved from her car window to the woman's side, held the woman's hand tightly with both hands, and said with relief: "It's okay, mother, the convoy's guards will definitely protect our family."

She was also scared. Seeing her mother's frightened appearance, she had to muster up the courage to give her mother some support.

"Mom regrets it," the woman said with a bitter look on her face.

I don’t know whether she regrets marrying her daughter to Datong, or regrets going to Datong with her.

Kong Yueqing did not speak, but hugged her mother tightly.

Neither of them knew what was going on outside, and all they could count on were the guards who escorted them all the way.

"Is Madam okay?"

While mother and daughter were waiting for the outcome of the conversation between the guards and the horse bandits, Xing Yun's voice sounded outside the carriage.

After hearing the sound, Kong Yueqing hurriedly opened the curtain of the car window and asked nervously: "Did the horse bandits make any demands?"

"Horse bandits?"

.”

"Aren't those horse bandits outside?" Kong Yueqing confirmed in disbelief.

Xing Yun nodded with a smile and said affirmatively: "They are not horse bandits, they are one of our own."

Kong Yueqing finally let go of her guard.

As long as it's not a bandit, you don't have to worry about your family's safety.

"Madam and old madam, please sit down. We have to go on a journey soon. I'm afraid we won't be able to rest until we reach the border of Henan." Xing Yun was afraid that Kong Yueqing would be worried, so he came over to tell her.

After coming back to her senses, Kong Yueqing nodded and said without thinking: "Well, okay."

Xing Yun returned to the front of the team.

Soon, the convoy set off again, but compared with before, there were many more cavalry guards at the front and rear of the convoy.

"Qing'er, who do you think your future son-in-law is?" The woman looked through the car window for a while at the cavalry riding past, and then asked Kong Yueqing.

Kong Yueqing shook her head in confusion and said, "Mom, if you ask me, how could I know."

"Yes, I shouldn't ask you." The woman then realized that her daughter didn't know much about the son-in-law whom she had not known for a certain year.

At this time, I heard Kong Yueqing say again: "My daughter feels that he is definitely not an ordinary person. He is also a guard and a cavalry. It is impossible for ordinary people to have these things."

"Mom thinks so too." The woman nodded, and then said, "Look at the cavalry outside, they are similar to the military attachés and servants that Mom has seen before."

After hearing this, Kong Yueqing looked at her mother and said, "What do you mean, mother, that the other party is a military attache?"

"It should be, and with so many servants, his rank should be quite high. He might be a guerrilla general from a border town or something." The woman expressed her guess.

Kong Yueqing opened the car window curtain and looked outside the car.

Looking at the cavalry walking back and forth outside the carriage, I finally let go of my last worry.

She would be very happy to marry a general from the border town, even if she was older.

Because of the care of General Bianzhen, her family will live a better life than if they had stayed in Qufu, and Adi can also find a better husband to study.

Even though the Kong family in Qufu is famous, only a few Kong family members live a good life in Qufu. The lives of ordinary Kong family members like theirs are as difficult as those of tenant farmers.

Several hundred tiger-shaped banner cavalry appeared in Caoxian County, and the magistrate of Caoxian County quickly learned the news.

"Quickly, go to the magistrate's office to ask for help. They say that the rebels from Henan are invading." The magistrate of Cao County immediately sent someone to Yanzhou Prefecture to deliver the message.

Caoxian County is close to the border of Henan, and news from Henan often comes to Caoxian County. Since the fall of Kaifeng Mansion, as the magistrate of Caoxian County, he has lived in fear every day, fearing that the rebels on the ground in Henan will invade.

The rebels suddenly appeared on the ground in Caoxian County, and the magistrate of Caoxian County slumped down on the Taishi chair under his buttocks.

The master on the side looked at the rude magistrate and said: "Dong Weng, the most important thing right now is to defend the city. Do you think you should order people to close the city gates first to prevent the rebels from sneaking into the city?"

"Yes, yes, yes, close the city gate, close the city gate immediately." The panicked county magistrate received the reminder from the master and hurriedly asked the people below to close the city gate.

The master next to him sighed softly when he saw the county magistrate's fearful look.

The magistrate of Caoxian County was afraid that he would not be able to defend Caoxian County, so he wondered whether he should take this opportunity to resign his employer and leave Caoxian County to find a new job elsewhere.

"Master, do you think it's too late for me to leave Cao County now?" The magistrate of Cao County suddenly asked the master who was standing aside.

Hearing this, the master shook his head and said: "It's definitely too late to leave at this time. You might encounter bandits when you leave the city, and if you lose Cao County, Dong Weng, you will be prosecuted by the court."
