Chapter 291 Heading to the Capital 2

The team set off again, basically on the road in the second half of the night, and arrived at the next town at dawn. Only then did Lianyi order everyone to go into the town to rest.

Of course, the money for renting the inn was paid by the Wu family. Luo Huai was still somewhat unhappy and complained to Lianyi:

"Miss, the Li family is considered a wealthy family in the capital. We are their guests. Why do we let the lady pay for staying in the inn?"

Lianyi smiled and said:

"Luo Huai, I don't know how many of these guards can return to the capital alive. They can be considered as protecting us, so why worry about this."

"They didn't try their best. When they were attacked last night, they didn't protect the lady. I watched them trying to escape, but they were held back by the men in black."

Luo Huai frowned.

She was in the car at that time, holding a dagger to observe the situation outside. She could clearly see the virtues of those guards.

"The lady said so, just do as you are told."

Luo Ying rolled her eyes at Luo Huai. As this girl grew up, she became more and more stingy.

"Luo Huai, go to the medical center in town and buy some healing medicine. Get some medicine for sores, antipyretics, and swelling. I'm afraid the medicine I brought out is not enough."

"Yes, miss! I'll go right away. Do you want to prepare some of these medicines for the Li family's guards?"

"Prepare a copy for Manager Li, just to keep up with it."

"yes."

Luo Huai took Chu Liangchen, who had fed the horse, to buy medicine for injuries. Liang Chen knew more about this.

The group rested for a day and a night, and at dawn the next morning, they set out on their journey again.

The steward of the Li family and the mother-in-law closed their nostrils this time and walked obediently beside Lianli's carriage, as if they were respectful guards.

"Sister Luo Ying, weren't Manager Li and Mrs. Li walking in front before? Why are they walking next to our car now?"

Luo Huai asked knowingly.

"Of course it's safe next to Miss's car! Although they are servants of the Li family, those Li family guards may not be able to protect them."

Luo Ying knew what the other party meant and followed Luo Huai's words.

"Really? But when I look at those guards, they have no intention of protecting the young lady!"

"So! It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Fortunately, our guards are not showy."

"Sister Luo Ying is right!"

Lianyi listened to the two girls singing and just pursed her lips and smiled without stopping them.

The two girls were both angry with Mrs. Li before. The other woman was so arrogant that she regarded her cousin as a poor relative of the Li family. They didn't know who sent such a fool here.

The Li family is still thinking about her Wan Guan family property, so they must be taking care of and flattering her a lot. They will wait until she enters the Li family to take action, and they won't show off to her right away.

Lianyi didn't know that this matter was arranged by Li Renyu's concubine. After Li Qin fell ill from anger, she temporarily held the housekeeper's power. She didn't pay attention to the cousin at all, so she randomly assigned a mother-in-law. .

Manager Li and Mrs. Li listened clearly to the conversation in the car and felt their faces hurt from being beaten, but they did not dare to show any displeasure because they were afraid of death.

The sneak attack on the first night foreshadowed the unrest along the way. Before leaving the Jiangnan area, Ripple would encounter an attack basically every three to five days.

Some were dressed as bandits, some were dressed as bandits, and some were extremely hungry beggars. Once, a family of more than ten people pretended to be returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and walked with them. After two days of peaceful life, the third day They added things to their horses' feed and put drugs in their food.

Wen Lu, who was well-informed, discovered it and immediately secretly alerted the Wu family's guards. As for the Li family, she didn't even bother to say anything.

Don't think she didn't notice that when the team was attacked, these guards, in order to survive, lured people into their escort team, which increased their burden and even injured several guards. If the young lady hadn't stopped them, She would have killed these trashes long ago.

Therefore, when the dozen or so people gathered around, the Li family's guards quickly reduced their numbers, and in the end only two people survived. It was because these two people ate less and the medicine was weak, so when they were hacked, the pain woke them up.

This time, the Wu family was still the main force. After wiping out all those people, they rudely woke up Manager Li and Mrs. Li. They were so shocked that they almost couldn't return to their places. Under the help of the only two remaining guards, During the narration, I realized the danger just now.

Mrs. Li wanted to say that they knew the food was wrong, so why didn't they remind them, but the quick-sighted Manager Li stopped her and took her away.

"If you want to return to the capital alive, keep your mouth shut! Why don't you remind us that you, a slave with high eyes, are not embarrassing the two maids next to my cousin.

What is the status of the maid next to the lady in the mansion? Even if I tolerate an old woman like you, it's not an embarrassment to the maid, it's a slap in the master's face. Think about it carefully! "

Mrs. Li's face turned pale at this time. When she was sent out of the house, she was not happy. Not to mention the long journey and no money. However, the other women used money to take care of the concubine. In the end, this hard work could only be done. fell on her head.

There was resentment in her heart. She felt that the cousin was an orphan and a poor relative, so she embarrassed the two maids. Now she felt regretful.

Lianyi doesn't care about this. She naturally has to take care of her guards first. After all, her guards are fighting for herself, and the Li family doesn't have any, so she doesn't bother to worry about it. Whether she can go back alive depends on them. ability.

After leaving the Jiangnan area, the situation of Lianyi and his party got better. However, Manager Li and Mrs. Li were like frightened birds. Both of them wanted to fly back to the capital. They urged Lianyi from time to time to speed up the team.

Lianyi pretended not to hear and continued to move forward at his own speed. Because they missed the town that day, everyone was preparing to camp outside.

Chu Liangchen trotted to Lianyi's car and reported:

"Miss, two miles further, there is a temple. It looks dilapidated, but it can provide shelter from the wind and rain. Let's go there to rest! Master Wen just said that it will rain at night."

When Wenlu was escorting, she would often miss Sutou in order to rush. It was common to rest in the open air, and she also learned how to watch the weather. Lianyi also felt the humidity in the air, and nodded and asked everyone to walk a little further to the temple. one night.

"It's rare to see a temple these days."

Minmin whispered.

"Why?"

Luo Huai asked.

"The emperor is obsessed with refining elixirs to seek immortality. Taoist temples are very popular. Almost all temples have been demolished, and monks are even rarer."

"I see."

As he was talking, he arrived at the entrance of a somewhat dilapidated temple, with some of the faded doors being closed.

As soon as Lianyi's carriage stopped, the door of the temple opened from inside, and a young monk who was about the same age as Chu Liangchen came out and saluted everyone:

"Amitabha! Master said that a distinguished guest is coming to our door today, and he specially asked the young monk to invite the distinguished guest to come in and rest for the night."

Manager Li and Mrs. Li felt their scalps numb after hearing this.
