It was approaching evening, and it began to drizzle.
Awu first carefully put the oil coat on her horse, then put it on herself, and rode to catch up with everyone.
Grandma's schedule has always been tight. She was supposed to rush into Jinling City just before dark, but now she has taken a detour and has to rush into the city two-quarters of an hour at night.
"Girls, please sit still, the horses have to start running." The coachman turned around and confessed, throwing out a loud whip and urging the two horses to run.
Not long after running, the car suddenly stopped.
Li Xiaonan was watching the drizzle in the dusk through the gauze curtain, and was shaken so hard that she knocked her head against the carriage board. Fortunately, the carriage board was covered with cotton.
"This is a killing formation! Yuting!" A Wu's voice came in.
"Kill..." Before Li Xiaonan could finish asking who to kill, a sharp and ear-piercing whistle sounded, followed by an explosion.
Li Xiaonan was stunned by the explosion. Is this a bomb? Are there any bombs here?
Yuting had already rushed out and sat in the coachman's seat. The coachman jumped out of the car and pulled the two restless horses tightly.
"What should we do?" Wan Qing leaned her upper body out of the car and shouted to the leader.
"According to circumstances, it's okay, I'm here!" Yuting responded and pulled the curtain hard, but failed to pull it down. "Why is the seam of this curtain so strong? It's in the way!"
"I'll come, I'll come!" Wan Qing shook her hands and tied the curtains on both sides of the car door.
"Who is it?" Li Xiaonan came to her senses and squeezed out from Wan Qing's side, "What exploded just now?"
Bidige
"I don't know." Yuting stared at Awu who was rushing at the front and answered casually.
"Can you hold the horse?" the coachman asked Yuting.
Yuting nodded quickly.
"Here, can I use a knife? Hold the knife well. If the horse is frightened and can't hold it back, just cut it here and there." The coachman explained a few words briefly and pulled out a long-handled knife from under the car.
With a long sword, he rushed to the back of the cart in a few steps, untied a saddle horse, mounted the horse, and joined the three long followers guarding the cart.
"Are all the coachmen in your house so capable of fighting and killing?" Li Xiaonan looked up at the steady and agile coachman with a look of admiration.
"I don't know either." Wan Qing stood next to Li Xiaonan and wiped the rain off her face.
"Should we run away? Where to run?" Li Xiaonan looked around.
In front, Awu was riding on a horse. The horse looked very excited, running back and forth between the post road and the nearby woods. Awu was holding a long spear, and he was like a tiger.
Another long follower, also armed with a long spear, was riding on a horse, staggering back and forth with Awu.
"Is this a battle formation?" Li Xiaonan asked Wanqing as she looked at the two horses and two people who were crisscrossing back and forth, listening to the wails and screams one after another.
"I don't know!" Wan Qing cried and trembled, looking at the gangsters holding sharp machetes and running back and forth beside the post road.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Li Xiaonan patted Wan Qing.
"You run faster than me, and in a moment you run as hard as you can..."
"You can't run, you two can't run away from them." Yu Ting interrupted Wan Qing's words.
"There are so many of them... rushing up! Ugh!" Li Xiaonan watched as Chang Sui stabbed a gangster in front of him with a spear, then drew out the gun and turned the gun around half a circle, and the blood mist and drizzle collided together. p>
"Good marksmanship!" Awu shouted excitedly, and the tip of his spear pierced another gangster who was charging with a knife.
"Are we going to kill all those people?" Li Xiaonan's voice was also a little trembling.
It was the first time she saw someone kill someone with her own eyes.
"No need, just kill a few more to scare them away." Yuting leaned forward and patted the two horses.
The two horses smelled the blood and became quiet.
"There are many of us! Let's charge together! Let's charge together!" Someone shouted in the woods on both sides of the road.
"What are they shouting?" Wan Qing and Yu Ting asked Li Xiaonan together.
"Be the first to block the gun and die, follow behind!" Li Xiaonan shouted first, and then said: "He said there were more of them and they rushed together, so I asked them to follow behind."
There was a pause for a moment, and then a series of curses suddenly erupted.
"What did they say?" Yuting and Wanqing asked Li Xiaonan again.
"The curses are all in Jinling dialect, and I can't understand them either." Li Xiaonan pricked her ears, and she could understand three to five sentences out of ten.
"How many have died?" Li Xiaonan asked Yuting.
"Three are dead, and two more are about to die." Yuting stretched his neck to look at the battle situation.
"Oh, it's better to shoot him to death." Li Xiaonan subconsciously tightened her shoulders as she listened to the screams.
"I just want them to scream. The harder they scream, the more scared others will be." Yuting tugged at his earlobe.
She also didn't want to hear such incomprehensible screams.
"What should I do if they don't rush forward? Just waste it like this?" Li Xiaonan is no longer so scared.
"I don't know. If it was just A Wu and I, we should run away now." Yu Ting stood up and looked around.
There was a scream from the distance, and a firework exploded in the sky.
The chief guard guarding the front of the car immediately raised a cylinder over his head, the same piercing scream sounded as before, and a firework exploded above their heads.
"This is a messenger, we have reinforcements." Li Xiaonan understood.
Sure enough, not long after, I heard the faint sound of horse hooves.
Among the gangsters on both sides of the post road, some began to turn around and run away.
"Catch two alive!" the chief commanded.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, spreading in all directions.
Yuting let out a long sigh of relief. The coachman jumped off the horse, tied the horse behind the car, sat in front of the car, and signaled Yuting to come in.
The car ran slowly and gradually picked up speed.
There are many shops on the two or three miles outside Jinling City, and the bustle is no different from that in the city. Most of the prefectures and counties on Liangzhe Road are like this.
Li Xiaonan's weaver school is for women in villages and towns. The schools closest to the county seat are also located outside the city. On this trip, Li Xiaonan and his party were looking for inns to stay outside the city. But today, Chang Sui
The boss directed the coachman, went straight into the inner city, and picked an inn. I don’t know what the boss said to the innkeeper. The innkeeper had a pale face and ordered the waiters, and quickly emptied the inn.
Li Xiaonan watched everyone busy in a clear manner without saying a word.
She has never experienced an assassination before, and it seems that these long-term followers are very experienced.
Does Gu Yan often encounter this kind of thing? Or does Prince Rui's Mansion often deal with this kind of thing?
Ah Wu's eyes were bright and he was more excited than nervous. He entered the inn, took off his blood-stained clothes and threw them to Yuting. He led the horse out, fed a few apples, hugged the horse's head and kissed it again and again, and began to carefully
Wash the blood stains on the horse carefully.
Her horse was really up to par today.
Wan Qing watched Li Xiaonan closely.
Li Xiaonan sat at the door and watched Yuting washing clothes.
Wan Qing sat next to Li Xiaonan, folding her arms in front of her chest, huddled up in a ball, she was either cold, she just wanted to shrink up.
"Who do you think they are here to kill?" After a while, Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing and asked.
"You! No need to ask!" Wan Qing shrank back again.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
"Yes, why?" Wan Qing pointed outside, "They caught him alive."
The several long-term and easy-going coachmen, all with stern expressions, came and went in a hurry. Li Xiaonan suppressed her doubts. It shouldn't be very safe at the moment. We would wait until they were busy.
