After seeing off Cheng Li, Yun Qiao and others stayed for two days before booking a special train and the group returned to Yancheng.
This time, Ni Yuanming personally took them to the train station and repeatedly told Yun Qiao to be careful along the way.
"You two, don't be playful all the time. You should be diligent around the lady. Even if the lady doesn't say anything, you still have life in your eyes." He then said to the two Chang'an Xin sisters.
"I know, Uncle Ni." The two sisters agreed without hesitation.
Yun Qiao thought of Cheng Li again.
Because Uncle Ni's tone of warning was so similar to Cheng Li's.
She has several "fathers" virtually.
Taking the train back to Yancheng, Mr. Yun Qiao was hanging out in Xi Lanting's carriage.
Zhu Yucheng was alone without Cheng Li to help him, and was a little afraid of Xi Lanting, so he stayed away from him and rarely showed up.
On the same train, Yun Qiao was stunned that she hadn't seen Zhu Yucheng for several days.
A few days later, Yun Qiao invited Zhu Yucheng to the restaurant to play cards and chat.
"...This is the Diyang area. There are a lot of bandits. I think we need to pay more attention tonight." Zhu Yucheng suddenly said to Yun Qiao, "Those big bandits specialize in robbing trains."
Yun Qiao was shocked when he heard this: "This is a special train. Bandits can't be so short-sighted."
"They want guns and ammunition, and they want to rob special trains. They don't want ordinary trains," Zhu Yucheng said.
Yun Qiao: "They are really not afraid of death."
"The mountains in Diyang are very complicated. The bandits are all locals. If you hide in the mountains, you can't hit them at all. Many warlords have suffered losses when passing through Diyang." Zhu Yucheng said.
Without strong government control, bandits have become spies.
Yun Qiao: "Brother, stop being so cunning. If bandits do come later, I will take the blame for you."
Zhu Yucheng: "..."
Some words are good but bad.
For example, Zhu Yucheng was worried about encountering bandits, so the special train stopped halfway and planned to rest overnight and then pass through Diyang during the day, hoping to pass through Qingtian in broad daylight.
Even so, they actually encountered bandits.
The bandits destroyed the railway.
The leading men were riding horses, and the spears in their hands were better than those used by the military government's adjutants; what was even more outrageous was that there was a cannon pointed at them not far away.
Yun Qiao's face turned pale: "Are these fucking bandits? The regular army doesn't even have this equipment."
Zhu Yucheng was originally very nervous, but he couldn't help but be amused by Yun Qiao's foul language.
Yun Qiao was almost dying of anxiety, but Zhu Yucheng still had the heart to laugh, while Xi Lanting ate lunch slowly and seemed not to notice.
These two gentlemen are really good.
"What are you afraid of?" Xi Lanting said casually.
Yun Qiao: "These bandits have big guns! I don't want to be the bandits' wife."
Zhu Yucheng was amused again.
Yun Qiao: "Brother, do you have any tricks to defeat the enemy? You laughed for a long time."
Zhu Yucheng didn't have any special tricks. He only cared about smiling at Yunqiao at the moment. He couldn't think of anything else. He was just having fun.
Xi Lanting finished eating, leaned back lazily on his chair, and stretched his head to take a look.
The bandits kept shouting outside.
From their poor mandarin, Yun Qiao could tell that they wanted all the guns, ammunition and money in the car, but not the rest. If everyone in the car cooperated obediently, they would never shoot first.
They never came close, they just surrounded the train.
Yun Qiao looked at the cannon, and then at the men and horses in the distance, which seemed endless.
"How many people are there?" Yun Qiao broke into a cold sweat.
Not to mention that they were well-equipped, but the number of people was several thousand, and they could be crushed to death by hand-to-hand combat. At this moment, the train tracks were pried open, making it impossible to move for a while.
Without backup, the sky will not respond and the earth will not work. But what should we do?
