Chapter 737: Coincidence, convergence (1)
After dealing with the little gangsters, Lin Chujiu and his party returned to the official road and continued to the next town.
Lin Chujiu was not in a hurry to rush back to Beijing. The speed of the group was neither fast nor slow, as long as they could find a town to stay in every night.
The further they go, the farther they get from the countryside, and the more prosperous the town will be. However, Lin Chujiu was not someone who likes to join in the fun. Apart from the need to buy enough necessities, Lin Chujiu hardly ever goes shopping in the town.
But even so, Lin Chujiu and his party would still be targeted by the gangsters.
As soon as they left the city, the accompanying guards found that they were being targeted again.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The guards accompanying them did not dare to gamble, and took the initiative to ask: "w.a.n.gfei, we are being targeted again." The frequency of their recent being targeted by the gangsters was too high, right?
"Go straight to the official road, don"t avoid them anymore, if they don"t make a move, don"t move around." Every time they go to a town, they will be targeted by the local gangsters. Once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence, but if it happened each time, is this still a coincidence? Lin Chujiu was very suspicious.
"Yes." If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The accompanying guards also noticed that something was wrong, so they specifically asked Lin Chujiu.
With a sense of precaution, the accompanying guards no longer treated the gangsters behind them as ordinary people, but carefully observed their every move, trying to find something beneficial.
Not to mention, this look made the accompanying guards discover a lot of interesting things.
The group of gangsters followed them all the time, and they didn"t care about being discovered by them.
When they pa.s.sed the fork and didn"t choose to take the trail, but continued on the official road, the group of thugs was stunned.
"w.a.n.gfei, this group of people should be hired by someone, who deliberately followed behind us and led us down the trail." The accompanying guards were not simple roles. After some observation, they vaguely guessed the other party"s intentions.
"Someone is using your sense of justice to set up an ambush for us." The accompanying guards guessed it, and so did Lin Chujiu.
"w.a.n.gfei, I"m afraid we are in trouble. Do you think we should with w.a.n.gye?" The guards didn"t miss any opportunity to persuade Lin Chujiu to join Xiao Tianyao.
However, Lin Chujiu refused to cooperate: "It"s not necessary, we"ll go our own way."
"But…w.a.n.gfei, we have been targeted now, what should we do if we encounter trouble?" The guard refused to give up and persuaded hard: "There are more than 200,000 troops around the prince. After we meet with w.a.n.gye, we will be safe."
"Your prince asked you to escort me back to the capital, can"t you protect me?" Lin Chujiu asked rudely, the guards were blocked again and had nothing to say.
Can they say that they don"t have the confidence to protect their princess well?
Having said that, it not only means that they were incompetent but also means that their prince has a bad vision and chose them as a group of incompetent people to protect their princess.
But without admitting their incompetence, the reason they persuaded the princess to join the prince was unreliable.
How do they answer this?
The guard glanced at Lin Chujiu, lowered his head silently, and stepped back… …
Unable to persuade Lin Chujiu to join Xiao Tianyao, the accompanying guards wrote a letter to report what they found to Xiao Tianyao.
If their prince can find out, who was behind all these, it would be better.
Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao"s travel times were only two days apart. There were many infantry soldiers in the army, and they couldn"t walk fast, but Lin Chujiu was riding in a carriage and couldn"t get there any time soon.
