The air is crisp in autumn, and the wind is light and the clouds are as light as ever.
Li Ran squinted on the carriage for a while, and then received a report from the front. It turned out that he had found the mark left by Sun Wu on the road. He hurriedly got up and went to check.
"Great, with these marks, we can know the situation ahead."
After confirming the route of Jiyi and Jixun, he immediately ordered everyone to speed up their journey and be sure to catch up with Jiyi and Jixun before they arrived in Weiguo.
However, he still overestimated the foot strength of these horses. After two days of driving, more than a dozen horses were so tired that they fell to the ground. Even Li Ran couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
He had calculated everything, but he never thought that he would be tricked by these horses.
You must know that each of these grain carts is pulled by two horses side by side. And there are not many horses that he can replace now, so once these horses have a large-scale drought, it will become vicious.
Loop.
In this case, let alone catching up with Ji Zeng and Ji Xun, even arriving safely in Weiguo would be a worry.
"These damn horse traders!"
When I was buying horses in Zhengyi, I was told many times that since I would be traveling long distances and carrying heavy objects, I must choose a group of good horses for myself.
But who knew that he would be gone in just a few days? Li Ran couldn't help but secretly curse these horse dealers for being unscrupulous.
But in fact? How can we blame those horse dealers? After all, these good horses on the market in Zheng State came from Qin State. Qin State was thousands of miles away, how could it be possible to give them in a short time?
Did he collect so much?
Besides, even if all of the exquisite objects for Ji Le and the dowry jewelry she asked her servants to secretly take out from the house were sold, it would only be enough to buy food. If you want to buy good horses, it would be really hard.
It’s so tight.
In desperation, Li Ran had to slow down his speed and strive to safely transport the food to Weiguo.
He knew that if he continued to hurry, he might not be able to reach Weiguo, and all the horses would have to finish playing.
Three days later, when Li Ran saw the mark left by Sun Wu again, he was sure that his judgment was correct this time. The grain truck escorted by Ji Zong and Ji Xun was indeed not filled with grain, but with overturned grain.
It’s just sand and gravel underneath a layer of grain.
This also proves that Shu Niu sent people out of the city in the middle of the night to subcontract the family's grain truck in order to harm his two younger brothers.
Poor these two brothers, they thought they were escorting only food, but they were still unconscious until now, rushing all the way to Weiguo.
"That's not right... In that case, why didn't Chang Qing try to delay them?"
Li Ran had doubts again at this time. According to his previous plan with Sun Wu, as soon as it was determined that there was something wrong with this batch of goods, he would immediately detain them.
But now Sun Wu and his party are still out of sight. Li Ran knows that something must be going on ahead...
"Sir, there is a stream not far ahead, which can be used as a place to camp tonight."
After hearing the report from the servants, he immediately confirmed the place to camp tonight. These horses have been traveling all day, and resting in a place with water and grass is the most important thing. Li Ran is now counting on them to be able to persevere.
Defending the country.
At dusk, Li Ran asked his servants to set up the tent and piled all the grain carts outside the tent to block it. As for burying the pots to make rice, Chu Dang was a cook by trade, and he was the best at this kind of thing. He did it by himself without Li Ran's orders.
.
Li Ran sat on a carriage and looked at the hills in the distance. The setting sun hung on the top of the hills, exuding the last ray of warmth.
But at this moment, an extremely brief vibration suddenly came from the ground!
"Dong dong dong!"
I heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away, and I was there in the blink of an eye!
Li Ran suddenly turned his head and saw a group of warriors in different clothes suddenly approaching on fast horses!
But when the group of people came closer, they suddenly stopped and surrounded the entire convoy. Knowing that the bad guys were coming, Chu Dang hurried back to Li Ran, holding a huge spatula in his hand.
Lying in front of him.
"Who is Li Ran?"
A leader among the warriors rode out and shouted to them across the grain cart.
As for Li Ran, everyone was silent for a while. Since this group of people were recruited temporarily, they only knew that they were hired by the sacrifice family, but they didn't know Li Ran. Therefore, no one spoke up for a while.
.
After a while, Li Ran walked out from Chu Dan's side and shouted to the warrior:
"I am Li Ran, who are you?"
"Oh, are you Li Ran?"
"Now that you have found it, come with us."
The warrior sat on the horse and looked at Li Ran condescendingly, his face full of arrogance.
"A trip? Where are you going?"
Li Ran still asked indifferently. The warrior was not anxious when he heard the voice, and just said lightly:
"My master has told me that your life must be taken by him personally, so you'd better be sensible and just come with us. In this way, maybe you can live for a few more days. If not, today is your day
The day of death!"
At the end of the conversation, these people all held weapons in their hands, and their fierce fangs were still exposed.
Ji's! These must be Ji's killers!
The only person in the world who wanted to take his life with his own hands was besides Ji Sun Yiru, and he really couldn't think of anyone else.
"I didn't expect you guys to be so persistent! You chased me all the way and you were so tireless. It's really respectable!"
His face darkened.
He just counted silently, there are at least a hundred warriors in this group, and he doesn't know if there are more behind him. So if once they really start to take action, it will only be Chu Dang, and now he can't help but feel a little worried.
"Haha, that's too much praise. We have come all the way, sir, and you won't let us go in vain, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense, should we leave or not?!"
This warrior leader was obviously impatient. After hearing a very clear metal sound, the warrior unsheathed his sword, and hundreds of warriors behind him were also eager to try.

However, Li Ran changed his eyes at this time and stared at the warrior looking up and down.
"It seems that you won't shed tears when you see the coffin."
"Up!"
When the warrior saw that Li Ran was silent, he immediately took action.
But who would have expected that at this moment, a tall figure rushed out from behind Li Ran, and then a scream was heard from the stream.
The leading warrior actually fell directly into a pool of blood, and standing beside him was Chu Dang.
"It's so rude to talk to you like this! Damn it!"
Chu Dang weighed the spatula in his hand, and the flesh on his face kept shaking.
But this time, when the warriors saw that their leader was killed, they had nothing more to say, so they picked up the guy and rushed towards Chudang.
Li Ran stood there in shock, unable to recover for a long time. It was not until the servants swarmed over to protect him and retreated that he finally realized what he was doing.
"Boss, why do you have to do something that can be solved with words..."
Originally, he was thinking about how to solve the problem without taking action or following these people, but Chu Dang, a fierce man, just went up with a spatula and directly poked the hornet's nest. Now, no matter what he said, it was useless.
"Kill!"
Hundreds of warriors rushed towards Chu Dang.
Chu Dang then picked up a dead wooden stake from the ground and swept it across the ground. The warriors on horseback lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Then, I don't know where Chu Dang got the brute force, he threw down the wooden stakes and crushed several people. Then, he rushed straight towards a horse.
"Wow!"
Since the saddle had not yet been invented in that era, it was very difficult to be as stable as Mount Tai on horseback. Therefore, after hearing a burst of war horse neighing, the warrior riding on it immediately couldn't support it. He flew out and was directly hit.
He broke his head on a boulder and died.
This wasn't over yet, Chu Dang fought back to Li Ran's side, holding the bronze sword he took from his opponent in his left hand, and actually holding a spatula in his right hand, blocking the way with the grain truck, and guarding the exit alone.
When the warriors outside saw this, they had no choice but to dismount and fight. Chu Dang gave Li Ran a hard and vivid performance of what it means to be in charge of one person and not open to ten thousand people.
"He is truly a man of God!"
Even Li Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this. He had to admire that Chu Dang really had unlimited brute strength.
