The mountain villages are poor, but the small temple with Buddha statues is their lifelong hope.
This hope is simple and pure, and seems not to be mixed with any material desires other than praying for a life of peace.
Now, he felt that he finally saw the peaceful faces of the villagers outside the small temple again.
Maybe it's just the good luck of the Gong family, but it may not be the good luck of my sister.
Probably because he figured something out, Gong San clearly felt that the new brother's mood was not as tense and distant as before. .??.
This was a good thing, and Gong San also showed a faint smile.
At least this new brother will no longer suspect that they have ulterior motives for their little sister.
They have been gone for more than a month and are not far from the Gong family's fiefdom.
Because there are old, weak, sick and pregnant women in the team, we have to stop and rest from time to time.
Lin Mengya asked the coachman that as long as he walked for a few more days, he could reach the Zheng family's fiefdom and the official road that led directly to the Gong family's fiefdom.
The news from Zheng Rongrong five days ago said that she, Mr. Zheng, and other elders of the Zheng family who had not been bribed by Mr. Zheng joined forces to overthrow Mr. Zheng.
Over the years, Mr. Zheng has made many small moves in private in order to seize the position of head of the Zheng family.
Some of them have seriously threatened the interests of the Zheng family.
Don't look at the fact that those old people may keep silent just for the sake of their relatives.
But when it comes to personal interests, everyone is smarter than a monkey.
Now, the second master of the Zheng family has lost power and is imprisoned by the big house.
I believe that it won't be long before Zheng Rongrong can truly become the heir to the head of the Zheng family.
She looked at the road ahead, turned around and walked to her brothers.
At this time, Gong San and Lin Nansheng had just finished talking.
"What are you talking about?"
She was still a little uneasy about her brother.
Fortunately, she knew that her brothers at home would truly accept her brother.
Gong San smiled at her and took the initiative to make room for the siblings.
"It's nothing, I'm just chatting with my third brother."
Although she is still not used to it, at least Lin Nansheng will follow her and change the title.
"The third brother is easy to get along with, and so are the others. The eldest brother and the others must be very happy to know that they have an extra brother."
She narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.
Lin Nansheng still felt a little jealous in his heart, as if the treasure he held in his hand suddenly had a few more people to share it with.
But when I thought about the "treasure thief" who needed to be beaten, all the jealousy disappeared immediately.
All in all, I have a lot of helpers.
However, Lin Mengya didn't notice her brother's thoughts and just looked at the mountain road not far away. > It went smoothly all the way, but the more critical it got, the more worried she became.
"The situation in the Zheng family is not very stable. The second brother is still staying in the Bai family. Brother, you have to work harder."
Before leaving, Long Tianyu took a step first.
The situation of the Jin family is not peaceful. He needs to go back and take care of some things first to avoid threatening them.
However, it did leave a lot of manpower for her.
Plus, with her brother here, there shouldn't be any accidents.
Lin Nansheng's expression tightened and he nodded.
After all, his recent years are not in vain. Ordinary little thieves really can't do anything to him.
After resting enough, they climbed into the carriage again.
After these few days of adjusting her breath, Jun'er's condition has improved.
However, he became increasingly lethargic and could not tolerate fatigue and fright.
The narrow mountain road that only allows two cars to pass side by side is right in front of you.
Lin Nansheng took three guards and went to explore the road first. After making sure that there was no ambush inside, he signaled for the carriage behind to follow.
The mountain road was not smooth, and there was only a "clunking" sound, and the carriage bumped against the rocks.
Jun'er opened her hazy eyes and looked at her sideways with some confusion.
"It's okay, you'll be fine once you pass this section."
She comforted her softly, but added a few more layers of soft cushions to Jun'er.
Before leaving, in order to prevent Jun'er from having too much trouble, she asked someone to install a soft cloth strap similar to a seat belt into the carriage.
"Be sure to drive steadily and slowly."
She stuck her head out and gave instructions. The coachman responded, and the carriage slowed down again.
The valley is not long, but quite steep.
There's no way there's an ambush up there, the risk factor is too high.
Lin Mengya's eyelids kept twitching. She gently held Jun'er's hand, but the sense of crisis in her heart never relaxed.
"The carriage behind you, pull aside, someone is passing in front!"
Lin Nansheng's warning sounded, and several carriages moved to the right. After a while, the rumble of horse hooves was heard.
She took a few glances through the car curtain, and it seemed that he was a guard of a wealthy family, with two carriages tightly guarded in between.
It doesn't feel like playing, but like escaping.
This is strange, but besides the Zheng family, there are also many small families in the Zheng family fiefdom.
She didn't pay attention, but waited for the other side to pass before their convoy continued moving forward.
But what I didn't expect was that I didn't wait
After a while, the rumble of horse hooves came again, and this time, it was coming straight towards them.
Lin Nansheng didn't expect it, so he immediately made a gesture to the guards behind him, asking them to protect the convoy first and then stand ready.
"Who is in charge here?"
The other side's guards don't look very good either.
It's just that they were probably in a hurry, so they looked much more embarrassed than the Gong family.
Lin Nansheng's expression remained unchanged as he urged his horse to meet him.
"I am, I wonder what's wrong with you?" .??.
The leader of the guard opposite was a burly man who was blind in one eye.
The man obviously didn't take Lin Nansheng, a thin young man who looked like the son of a noble family, in his eyes. He grinned and said, "I don't have anything big to do, but I'm just a little short on money. I want to borrow some flowers from you."
It turned out that he had encountered a robbery, and Lin Nansheng's heart rang with alarm bells.
Fortunately, he had encountered such a situation when he was traveling as a escort.
There are a lot of people on our side, so even if we fight with the other side, we won't suffer too much.
Under normal circumstances, in this case, they will follow the principle of doing less than doing more, so as to avoid disaster and lose money.
This time, he also dealt with it according to the rules of the world.
At that moment, he cupped his fists and smiled and said, "I see, but we are going out and we don't have any extra expenses. I still have some silver here, even if I invite all the brothers to drink tea."
After saying that, he threw over a heavy money bag.
The one-eyed man grabbed it and weighed it in his hand, with a greedy smile on his face.
"You are quite sensible, but I still have a request."
Lin Nansheng looked at them calmly and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
The one-eyed man pointed at several carriages belonging to the Gong family and said in a very sinister manner, "Our boss is in a bad mood recently. There must be a little beauty among you, right? I won't embarrass you. No matter it's a girl or a young lady, stay here."
Next time, I will relieve the boredom of the brothers, and I will let you go, how about that?"
At this moment, Lin Nansheng's expression changed instantly.
These people don't follow the rules of the world at all, they are clearly just looking for trouble.
"I'm sorry to hear your words, but I see that you are in a hurry, so it would be better if you don't create more complications."
There was a chill in his words, and he had already grasped a long knife at his waist.
The carriage was full of his relatives, and there was no way he could hurt these people.
"Tsk, I think you're toasting me instead of drinking wine as punishment! Brothers, kill this little bastard, and we all want the women and the money!"
The man over there immediately revealed his ferocious true face. He was said to be a guard, but in reality he was a bandit. Lin Nansheng also suddenly drew out the long knife from his waist and said in a loud voice, "Guard the carriage and retreat first, and the others will follow me!"
The palace guards had already divided their duties. As a result, the guards closer to the inner floor almost instantly took the position of escorting the carriage to escape.
The guards in the outer area, under the command of Lin Nansheng, fought with the opponent.
"drive--"
The driver's whip was raised, and the horses' hooves were flying.
They ran towards the end of the mountain road as fast as they could.
In the carriage, Jun'er was also frightened away from all sleepiness. She held Lin Mengya's hand tightly, her face pale.
"Don't be afraid, we are not in trouble."
Fortunately, the three carriages carrying people in front were all equipped with protective devices, so no one would be hurt even at such a high speed.
But Lin Mengya had no time to worry about anything else. She never imagined that she would encounter such a group of people.
Half of the bandits in the Zheng family's fiefdom were wiped out by the two of them last time. Later, under the pressure of the Zheng family, those bandits lost the ability to do evil.
Why did we actually meet each other this time?
The situation is critical now and there is no time to think about it.
The carriage quickly jumped out of the mountain road, but a greater crisis came quietly!
"Miss, it's not good! Our horse can't stop!"
Outside, the driver shouted in horror.
Lin Mengya immediately got out of the carriage and saw the horse pulling them running forward with all its strength.
"what happened?"
"I don't know why I was disobedient now because I was fine just now. If this continues, we will have to be knocked away!"
The coachman is a veteran with many years of experience. He can tell immediately whether a horse is normal or not.
Even though he could barely control the horse now, once the horse ran to death and lost strength, they would have no choice but to crash the car and kill everyone.
"You hold still first, I'll think of a solution!"
She retracted into the carriage. Inside, Jun'er's face was frighteningly white.
"Don't be afraid!"
She stumbled, and after fixing another layer on Jun'er, she leaned out half of her body again.
This time, she discovered that not only them, but other carriages and the horses under the crotches of a few guards were also running like crazy.
Some horses even had foam coming out of their mouths.
The fighting continued, and they couldn't protect themselves. But what made her even more troublesome was that she didn't even notice what was wrong with the horses.
"Girl! What's going on?"
Suddenly, another maroon horse ran up to her, and Qinghu, dressed in a smart outfit, frowned and asked.
