Chapter 242 Tiger Mountain (5)
In the evening, I happened to come across an inn on the side of the road.
After Yuxi got off the carriage, she looked at the surrounding environment and said, "I won't stay at the inn tonight, go ahead." She would rather suffer for one more night than take risks.
Huang Escort had no objection: "That's it." He turned around and yelled at everyone to continue walking. There is also an advantage of having fewer things, that is, the speed is accelerated.
Zijin was puzzled and asked, "Girl, is there a problem with this inn?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I don't know if there is a problem, but this inn must have a lot to do with the bandits on Tiger Mountain. It's better not to live in such a hotel."
The group walked for another hour and settled in a village. After everyone ate and drank enough, Luo Shuigui and Huang Biaotou doubled the number of people on duty at night, in case someone would attack.
If it had been before, Escort Huang would have assured Yuxi that the people in Tiger Mountain would not do anything to kill them all. But with Lu Kai as a variable, any guarantees are useless. It is safest to strengthen our vigilance. Unexpectedly, nothing happened that night, and the night was peaceful.
After washing up, the meals are ready. Mama Bai brought up the red date porridge and two egg pancakes.
Yuxi picked up the spoon, took a bite, her face changed slightly, put down the spoon and immediately drank the purple violet and perilla that she was eating: "Don't eat it, this thing is not clean."
After Zijin heard this, she immediately threw away her chopsticks. Zi Su's face turned pale again in fright: "Girl, is there poison in these meals?"
Yu Xi shook her head and said: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be." If it was poisonous, they would have died of poison.
Zijin immediately told the news to others, telling them not to eat it. When Mother Bai heard the news, her face turned pale, and she knelt in front of Yu Xi and said, "Girl, I made these things, there are no fake hands."
Mother Qu also said next to her: "Girl, we have checked the rice and those vegetables, and only use them after making sure there is no problem. If there is a problem, it is definitely not a problem with the food."
Naturally, Yuxi would not suspect that Mama Bai and Mama Qu were both brought by her, so how could they collude with bandits. After hearing Mother Qu's words, Yuxi said, "Water, where did you get the water you used?"
Mother Bai hurriedly said: "That well in the yard. Girl, I tried that water with a silver hairpin, and it was fine." It was also because I tried it that I can use it with confidence.
Luo Shuigui immediately brought up a bucket of water, looking at the crystal clear water. Mother Bai went to the yard to catch a chicken, and this chicken was going to be eaten at night. She filled the chicken with half a scoop of water, and after a while, the chicken was still fine.
Seeing this, Yuxi said: "It doesn't have to be poisoned." It is enough to put some other things, which will make you feel uncomfortable after eating, and you can't resist at that time. The body is uncomfortable, how to fight with others, and he will be cleaned up after three strikes.
Zijin snorted coldly: "It's really low."
Luo Shuigui smiled and said: "Since they are bandits, there is nothing they can't do." Don't expect these people to have any good morals.
Big Maotou was a little bit reluctant, he was very hungry, and she really couldn't bear to see so many good things! So I couldn't help it at the moment, and asked: "Miss Han, how do you know this thing is not clean?"
Yuxi glanced at Big Maotou, and said: "If you don't believe it, you can continue to eat." Making medicinal food is very particular, the medicinal materials must be placed just right, neither too much nor too little, and the heat must be well controlled. Every step You can't go wrong, the last medicated diet is the best. Yuxi was trained by Sister Quan in this way, and after several years, she was very sensitive to things like medicinal materials. The jujube porridge that she ate today, although covered by the scent of red dates, she still tasted a faint medicinal smell in the porridge.
As for what kind of medicine it was, she was too inexperienced to take it, but it must be something harmful.
Huang Biaotou didn't talk nonsense, and shouted loudly: "Pack up your things and get out of here." You won't die of starvation without eating, but if there is something wrong with this thing, it will be dangerous.
Yuxi said: "Bring all your things." The owner of this house must also be an accomplice, if they leave things behind, they will be suspicious. Fortunately, they gave the owner money and vacated the house for them, without letting them know the situation in the house.
Yuxi is not surprised that the owner of the house will help the bandits to harm them. She lives near Tiger Mountain, so it is normal to listen to them.
There were not many things, and it was packed in less than a quarter of an hour. After walking for about an hour, the chicken that Mama Bai had watered before stretched the wooden boards under her body badly, and she pulled too much, and this chicken was also sick, without any energy.
Da Mao looked at the chicken, and said only one sentence: "Miss Han, you are amazing." They only tasted the smell of the food, and they didn't find anything wrong.
Looking at Yuxi's carriage, Huang Biaotou said very strangely: "Isn't Miss Han the sister of the Duke? Why do you know so much?" If Han Ji hadn't been respectful to her, Huang Escort would have suspected that this person was a fake.
When the group reached a place with a water source, Yuxi said to Huang Biaotou: "Everyone hasn't eaten in the morning, so let's cook two more pots of rice!" There must be an ambush.
As Yu Xi expected, when they were full and set out on the road, within half an hour of walking, they encountered bandits in ambush. These people brought bows and arrows and hid in the dark. If they hadn't been prepared, they would have suffered a lot.
These people hid on the mountain and had a geographical advantage, but when they saw the listless spirit of the group, they thought that the medicinal powder had worked, so they relaxed their vigilance. Because of the need to catch people alive, some impatiently came down from the mountain again. No matter at any time, underestimating the enemy will pay a heavy price.
Huang Escort and the bodyguards of Xinglong Escort both held their breaths, Nima was really ashamed this time, and they were all thrown to grandma's house. This time, if he couldn't let out the bad breath in his heart, he would have to get angry, and immediately killed this group of bandits.
Zijin didn't take the initiative to kill the enemy this time, but stood in front of the carriage, whoever dared to get close to the carriage would be served with a sword. After killing seven or eight people, no one dared to approach the carriage anymore.
More than 60 bandits escaped more than 20 people. These bandits were familiar with the terrain and escaped from the mountain, but no one dared to chase them.
Yu Xi got out of the carriage, looked at these bandits lying on the ground with missing arms and legs, her eyes were fixed, she didn't know what she was thinking.
Luo Shuigui suddenly said: "Girl, no..."
These words brought Yuxi's thoughts back: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Luo Shuigui spread out one hand of a dead bandit, and said, "Girl, the calluses on these hands can be seen from holding weapons all the year round." Luo Shuigui didn't say anything about other suspicious points, but he believed that Yuxi had already I can see the problem.
Yu Xi shrank her pupils and said, "Get out of here quickly?" She was still wondering whether this Lu Kai had a grudge against the Han family or Yun Qing. It's guesswork, it's 100% against Yunqing. It's just that Yucheng asked Yunqing to find out what kind of enmity he had with Yunqing.
At this point, Yuxi couldn't help but burst into foul language. If you meet Dayunqing's enemy before you get married, how will you live the rest of your life. In the past, others said that she was unlucky, but she still didn't believe it. But now Yuxi believed it, marrying Yunqing would not be bad luck. It's like this even if you're not married now. It's conceivable that after marrying Yunqing, such things will probably happen often.
After dinner that night, everyone continued on their way holding torches. Everyone has one thought, leave this place as soon as possible, and rest well after crossing this boundary.
When Lu Kai heard that more than half of the people he sent had been lost, his teeth itch with hatred. These people are all his confidantes, and they fell into the hands of this woman.
The people who came back to report were frightened, and said: "Master, we didn't expect them to be shot at all. And the dozen or so guards guarding the Han family all have bows and arrows, every shot is accurate, we can't beat them at all. In addition, the Han family The maid next to her was even more vicious, she killed seven of us brothers by herself."
The pen in Lu Kai's hand was broken, and he said in a cold voice: "This woman is so powerful, if she is really allowed to reach Yucheng safely, wouldn't it be even more powerful for Yunqing? No, this woman must be eliminated at all costs. .” This woman is too dangerous.
Lu Kai's real name was Zhang, Zhang Yong. He was originally from Yucheng, but he couldn't go to the battlefield because of his weak health. The family had a good life at first, but unfortunately, Yun Qing ruined all of this. Not only did Yun Qing kill his brother, but he also took someone to ransack his home, and made him have nowhere to go, so he could only hide in this bandit's den.
Zhang Yong originally wanted to capture Yuxi and take him to Tiger Mountain as a hostage, and use Yuxi to humiliate Yunqing. But he didn't expect that Yuxi would rather die than go up the mountain, and even let out bold words that Yunqing would avenge him. And the bandits on Tiger Mountain were greedy for life and afraid of death, fearing Yunqing's revenge, so they didn't dare to kill them. And he has only been in Tiger Mountain for more than half a year, his foundation is not stable, and he can't fight against other people.
Seeing this, the subordinate asked worriedly: "Master, this group of people will cross the border of Tiger Mountain in two days. It will be even more difficult for us to kill her."
Lu Kai sneered and said, "Don't be afraid, I am not the only one who has a grudge against Yunqing." The ones who have the greatest resentment against Yunqing are those barbarians from the North. Those savages wished they could eat Yunqing's flesh and drink Yunqing's blood. As long as he discloses this news to the barbarians in the North, I believe those barbarians will arrest Han at all costs. I just don't know, what will Yunqing do when he finds out that his fiancée has been taken away by the barbarians? To rescue, or to stand on the sidelines!
When Lu Kai's subordinates heard this, their hearts tightened. In order to get revenge, the master really didn't even care about coming to the door, even the barbarians from the north dared to take advantage of him. I don't know what crazier things will be done in the future.
Yuxi didn't know that Lu Kai would think of using the Beiyao people to deal with her, but Yuxi had already realized that her situation was very dangerous. So, she was considering Zijin's proposal.
When Zijin heard that Yuxi wanted to follow Master Yang and Fourth Brother Yu, she agreed with both hands and feet: "Girl, if you follow Master Yang and Fourth Brother Yu, it will not only be fast, but will also be unobtrusive." On the contrary, follow The convoy is not only slow, but also a living target.
Yuxi nodded and said: "Wait until I see Master Yang talking." I had agreed to meet Master Yang in Dongping Town before, and here is more than a hundred miles away from Dongping Town!
