Chapter 257 Incident
"Miss, Miss, wake up..."
After leaving Aunt Sun's house, Ling Chu got on the carriage and felt sore and weak all over.
The injury from the horse that was startled in the busy street was probably bruised.
She asked Xia Zhi to apply ointment on her. Because she had four guards given by Ning Chuyi, there was nothing to worry about on the way back, so she fell asleep with peace of mind after getting on the carriage.
Who knew that she was suddenly woken up by Xia Zhi.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the sound of metal and stone clashing outside the carriage.
Ling Chu frowned, "What happened?"
Xia Zhi, "I don't know the details, it seems that someone shot an arrow from the dark."
Ling Chu reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw the guard with his back to her waving the sword in his hand to shoot down the arrows shot at him.
From the sound, in addition to the guards guarding the front of the carriage, the same sound of metal and stone clashing came from the other three directions.
Ling Chu's face sank.
Her carriage was surrounded by people.
Ling Chu was about to summon the big shovel and the small hammer, but the dense arrows that were shot at him suddenly disappeared.
Ling Chu frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
A guard suddenly said, "Something is wrong, Yang Yun, let's go, we will cover you, and you will send the girl back to the city."
As soon as Guard Chen finished speaking, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
Dense arrows, with flames, shot towards the carriage.
The guards' mounts and the horses pulling the carriage pawed the ground with their hooves, neighing anxiously.
The faces of the four guards changed at the same time, and they had no time to comfort the frightened horses, so they drew their long swords to resist.
Ling Chu did not hesitate and immediately summoned the big shovel and the small hammer.
At the moment when the rocket flew over, the guards, the big shovel and the small hammer attacked at the same time.
The arrows shot down by the guards fell to the side.
But the rockets shot away by the big shovel and the small hammer returned to the original path.
Soon, screams came from the woods nearby.
After three rounds of rockets, the screams became more and more.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the woods, "Brothers, go..."
"Kill, kill, kill."
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, leave money to buy your way through."
"There must be a beauty in that carriage. Whoever grabs it will get it."
"Hahaha, I'm going to grab a wife of the leader today."
"I heard that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the carriage. As long as I have money, I will go to Yihongyuan. The top beauties there are the most attractive."
"Stupid, I want both silver and beauties."
...
A group of burly bandits with fleshy faces came out of the woods, waving swords and shouting, rushing towards Ling Chu's carriage.
Although they were not as neat and uniform as the regular army, there were dozens of people.
The four guards were ready for battle.
Although there were many people, Ling Chu was not afraid.
The four guards given by Ning Chuyi were quite skilled.
Her big shovel and small hammer are not vegetarian either.
Seeing the group of bandits rushing over, Ling Chu hurriedly shouted to the guards, "Leave them alive."
Although this place is outside the capital, it is not far from the capital.
In theory, there is no way that there are bandits here.
After all, this is not the forest where bandits often appear, but the only way to the west city, and many people usually pass by here.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This group of bandits must be hired by the person behind the scenes to kill her.
Ling Chu was worried that she could not find the mastermind behind the scenes, so she caught this group of bandits to see if she could find out any clues.
Ling Chu wanted to leave them alive. Although the four guards were a little restrained in the fight, they did not lose with the help of the big shovel and the small hammer.
It didn't take long for most of the bandits to be knocked down.
But there were still a dozen bandits with good martial arts who were resisting stubbornly.
The fight was fierce here, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Ling Chu lifted the curtain and saw 20 to 30 people riding tall horses and rushing over.
She glanced at them casually and then retracted her sight, looking back at the guards who were fighting.
Ling Chu originally thought that those people just happened to pass by, but they came straight to them.
The leading man glanced at the people fighting, and shouted angrily with a righteous face, "This is close to Kyoto, where did the bandits dare to cause trouble here!
Everyone, come on, capture the bandits and eliminate the harm for the people."
The bandits were already uneasy when they saw so many well-trained cavalrymen.
Hearing the man's words, they secretly complained.
They wanted to retreat, but they couldn't give up the gold and silver treasures that were about to be obtained, as well as the beauty in the carriage.
While fighting with gritted teeth, they cursed the ancestors of those nosy people in their hearts.
Although Ling Chu's guards felt that they could take down the bandits without anyone else's help, they couldn't refuse others who were so enthusiastic to help.
The new group rushed into the fight waving swords.
Yang Yun was fighting with four bandits besieging him. Seeing two men coming to help, he was relieved.
The man on the left cut a bandit's neck in a few strokes. Yang Yun felt the pressure was relieved, and saw the sword in the hand of the man on the right also slashing at a bandit.
Yang Yun frowned and was about to let them live.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The long sword of the man on the right, which was originally slashing at the bandit, suddenly turned and slashed towards Yang Yun quickly.
Yang Yun's face changed and his body dodged to the side.
Although he was not slow, he was still slashed in the arm in a hurry.
"Be careful, there's a trick." Yang Yun only had time to warn the guards beside him, and the long sword of the man on the left had already hit him.
He quickly raised his sword to block it.
While Yang Yun was attacked by the two men, the other three guards were also attacked from behind by those who came to help.
The four guards secretly annoyed themselves for being careless.
The bandits were careless in an instant, thinking that the newcomers were going to deal with them, but they turned out to be their helpers.
The other bandits who were knocked down shouted in surprise, "Hahaha, God really helps me..."
No one could have thought that before the bandit's smile fell, a man next to him turned his hand and stabbed his throat with a sword.
The bandit fell to the ground with his hand covering his throat, staring with his eyes wide open.
He never figured out until his death that those people were clearly here to help them, but why did they kill him instead.
The bandits next to him were shocked by this change and subconsciously wanted to escape.
However, before they could run two steps, they were hacked to death by those people.
Not to mention that the bandits were stunned by this change, even Ling Chu was stunned for a moment.
Ling Chu didn't know who those people were. She saw that some of them were hacking and killing bandits, and some were killing her guards.
Her face was angry, and she immediately waved her hand to let the big shovel and the small hammer help the guards deal with them.
Just as the big shovel and the small hammer knocked down several men, the horse pulling the carriage of Ling Chu suddenly neighed.
Then it ran away.
The carriage shook violently, and Ling Chu only had time to reach out and grab the wall of the carriage.
The carriage ran away, and the guards' faces changed. They wanted to chase, but they were entangled by the group of people and couldn't get away.
