Chapter 35 Marry a chicken…
“I"m back.” Zhong Langyu was like an official who had returned from a previous dynasty. He said it very blandly.
Xi Ruoxuan ran over and to pull Zhong Langyu, her expression still very relaxed: “Where did YuYu go these days, why didn"t Xuanxuan see YuYu?”
Zhong Langyu didn"t want to explain, he estimated that it was useless, she wouldn"t understand. He just said bluntly: “Pack up, we"re going to Luo City tomorrow.”
Xi Ruoxuan had actually heard the news long ago. To he honest, she was a little scared, because it was Hu Feiying"s territory, and she had fought with his fei before. There would definitely be many dangers and tribulations when reached. However, the Emperor had already decreed that she, as his w.a.n.gfei had to follow him. There was saying that if you marry a chicken you follow the chicken and if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. She would leave everything to fate then!
Of course, Xi Ruoxuan could not show any sign of fear, because a fool didn"t know how to be afraid: “Where is Luo City, is it fun?” She asked naively.
Zhong Langyu nodded: “Hmm! It"s fun, just that there are a lot of bad guys over there. You have to be obedient, or else the bad guys will hit you.”
Xi Ruoxuan clenched her fist: “Xuanxuan is not afraid, Xuanxuan"s stick method is very powerful, whoever wants to hit Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan will hit him to death first.”
Zhong Langyu also did not think much, a fool"s words didn"t have to be pondered. He ordered the servants to tidy up at once and load the things they had to bring into the carriage, so that they wouldn"t be too fl.u.s.tered tomorrow.
The morning light awakened the sleeping land through the mist, and unknown birds twittered on the treetops in front of the royal palace, seeming to have come to see their former neighbors off. The servant girls and the lower men stood silently by in front of the royal palace, with many people quietly wiping their tears.
Except for Cuiyun who was following because she was Xi Ruoxuan"s close attendant, together with another servant girl, the rest couldn"t follow. Some loyal ones repeatedly asked to follow, but they were all rejected by Zhong Langyu. Zhong Langyu was kind. Going to Luo City was risking his life. He couldn"t let them die in vain. With a sigh, Zhong Langyu and Xi Ruoxuan got into the carriage together. The hundred guards were already waiting by the side of the road, and they finally embarked on the difficult road to Luo City.
Xi Ruoxuan was a bit nervous, a little timid, after all, this was to going to Luo City, in a sense, she had left the emperor"s protected area. She selling herself as crazy wouldn"t necessarily be useful. Hu Feiying may not let her go on Tianqing Khan"s account. If he was unhappy, he could just kill her.
Although there was such a concern, Xi Ruoxuan still had to pretend to be very happy, because fool didn"t know what danger was, only fun. She looked at the scenery outside the carriage for a while, then at the soldiers behind her. She kept asking questions which were rather boring and childish. For example, where are we going to play? What are we doing with so many soldiers? Why was the soldier so fat? Etc.
Zhong Langyu was too lazy to pay attention to her, he was in a terrible mood now, he was to complete an impossible task, if he was lucky, he could still have a long life, if he was unlucky, he could be directly killed, and he would die. In this kind if situation, no one would have a good mood.
Ruoxuan knew that he was in a bad mood and that he had no reaction only listlessly dozing off, Ruoxuan also felt that there was no need to perform. In fact, her mood was also depressed. The future was uncertain, which was also a huge test for her.
The carriage rode overnight and entered the southern border on the second day. This was a sensitive zone and because of the complexity of the terrain, and it belonging to the three states, the bandits were rampant and the security situation was quite bad. The head of the guards, Qiu Xin, was very experienced. He ordered to strengthen the vigilance to prevent danger at any time.
Sure enough, when the horse team pa.s.sed through the remote mountain road, suddenly there was the sound of gongs, and then a terrible cry. With an earth-shattering sound, countless mountain thieves armed with knives and gun appeared. Obviously they had encountered robbers. This year, the robbers were so arrogant that they dared to rob the officers and men. Although they were people in distress, they also had a hundred or so regular troops from the imperial court! Which bandits were so rampant!
Zhong Langyu was the prince, and the highest leader of the team. He is now a bear again, and he has come to see the situation. He couldn"t hide in the carriage and pretend to be a tortoise. It was useless to pretend to be one. The carriage was not strong. Armored vehicles, a few people on the other side can let the carriage turn to the bottom.
Zhong Langyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and his heart ‘thumped". It seemed that he was in big trouble today. The other party were not just general bandits, they at least like they were organized. Just look at the mountains, dense all around, and the were they each looked ferocious and manic, looking at them covetously.
At this time, a big man of about five feet 3 inches tall stood on a small hill, watching the situation. He at least looked like a small leader, even he was a second, he looked in charge. He only saw him shout in a loud and ferocious voice: “If you want to live, leave all your valuable things. I"m in a good mood today. I can let you live! If you dare to say a word, you will be executed at once!”
In all the time that Zhong Langyu had lived it was the first time that he had encountered such a situation. He looked at the captain of his guard team with a look that said, ‘what should they do ah? Should they do as he said or make a run for it? You have to give me an idea ah!
Qin Xin, the captain of the guard team, was indeed a man. He wasn"t intimidated by the arrogance of the bandits. He comforted Zhong Langyu: “w.a.n.gye should not be afraid, just a few mountain thieves are not anything extraordinary. Let me deal with him!”
Qiu Xin finished speaking, sat astride the horse with a gun: “From where does this obnoxious bandit come from? How dare you intercept the official army, open your eyes and see, this is the army of the Dayou dynasty, quickly roll away, otherwise Laozi will flatten your bandits nest!”
Qiu Xin"s words were hard enough that he thought the bandits would weigh it, and not be as arrogant as they were before. Who once thought, that those bandits immediately laughed, and the big man even laughed and rocked back and forth: “Dayou, robbing the official army. You think this civilians cannot rob you? You this kid have talked sideways enough. You think you can go with me? Alright! Then Laozi will accompany you to play a few tricks!”
The big man said, flying down the slope with a big knife in his hand. “Come and die!”
Qiu Xin was furious, a bandit dared to do despise the official army so much. Today if I don"t give you a good look, you won"t know what the official army is. Qiu Xin also did not talk, thrusting the gun at him. The big man slashed at it with his knife, and the two men were immediately came together, going at it. You could also say Qiu Xin"s martial arts was also quite good, that was, his method of moving the gun left and right was fatal. Qiu Xin"s idea was very simple, he wanted to immediately tire out and overcome the other side.
However, although his idea was good, the other party was not just an empty package. Although the man was huge, his body was quite flexible, he moved left and flicked to the right and never got shot at. On the contrary, his big knife almost split Qiu Xin several times.
Qiu Xin had not succeeded in getting a hit. He was was getting anxious. He stepped up his efforts and kept shooting at him. The big man didn"t rush, but sealed the tip of the gun with his big knife. Suddenly he reached out and caught Qiu Xin"s long gun. The big man was not soft, and immediately seized the opportunity to slash the big knife towards Qui Xin. Qiu Xin who was shocked lost his long gun and run away.
