Chapter 44
During the day, the journey was safe and smooth, but at night, Qi, who had been on tenterhooks all day, was so sleepy that he couldn't bear it any longer. He was just about to close his eyes and take a nap when he suddenly heard the sound of close combat coming from the distance ahead.

Not only did she hear it, but Qu Er, who had been patrolling outside, had come to the car and reported:
"Miss Qi, there is a fight at the Escort Bureau. Master Hou has told you to detour immediately if there is any movement. Let's turn around now, and maybe we can catch up with Master Hou."

It's a long road, and there are forks at every intersection.As long as you go in the right direction, you can always reach the same goal by different routes.

"Isn't Hou Ye more dangerous?" Qi said calmly.

"Master Hou said that the escort agency was attacked, which proves that his side is safe." Qu Er remembered Ding Yuanhou's words firmly.

In fact, it is not necessary to catch up with him, Ding Yuanhou is a kind man, before leaving, he left half of his soldiers in disguise to escort the Qu family.

To ensure safety, only Qu Er knew, even Qi and the others were kept in the dark.

"Okay, let's arrange it." Qi paused, and hesitantly lifted the curtain to look at the distance behind, "Do you want to notify the caravan behind?"

"I remind them when I look back."

Qu Er stopped talking, and waved his hand directly to the front, signaling the team to turn around and go on their way.Qi put down the curtain, looked at the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were still sleeping, and couldn't help feeling envious.

As the wives of the Qu family, some have no worries and others have worries, and she is the one who worries about everything and is thankless.

Don't look at the bewildered faces of the sisters-in-law at this moment, looking like pustules.When they arrived in the capital, the spirit of fighting for favor and power came.At that time, the method of guaranteeing one to match one was shrewd and tiring to deal with.

Fortunately, Miss Qu is a bit naive, at least she has a clear mind, she knows who is the adulterer, and who is sincerely doing her best.

Thinking of this, Qi raised the curtain and asked the servants outside, "Did the movement in front frighten the eldest girl?"

"No, the eldest girl is asleep." The servant replied.

Oh, that's all right, Qi put down the curtain with peace of mind.Miss Qu is a person who, once she falls asleep, it doesn't matter if the sky falls apart.She is strong and strong and monopolizes a carriage, and she sleeps so poorly that no maidservant dares to doze off beside her.

I was afraid that she would turn over and shoot him to death on the spot. This kind of death is quite unfair.

A big heart is a blessing, so there is no need to bother.

……

In the thick night, the sounds of fighting in front continued. After the Qu family's caravan turned around, they walked back with the caravan for a quarter of an hour and rushed away from another fork.

When the sky was getting brighter, Qi and Qu's second guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that they were far away from the crisis.

After driving for a day and a night, the horses were tired and people were tired, so they stopped eating by the side of the road so that everyone could get out of the car and exercise their muscles.Qi couldn't stand it any longer, so she apologized to her mother-in-law, ate some snacks, and lay back in the car to take a nap.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she was in a daze when she vaguely heard the laughter and laughter outside disappear.Then the curtain of the car was pulled suddenly, the dazzling sunlight came in, and a frightening shout was heard beside my ear:
"Get up! Let me out!"

? ! !what happened? !
The drowsiness was interrupted suddenly, Qi's face was terrified, and he was in a trance and didn't know what was going on.He got out of the carriage in a daze, and was immediately startled by the murderous scene in front of him, his face turned pale.

She just took a short nap, and the sky outside changed.

The trees on both sides of the road were covered with masked archers in black, and I don't know how many more were ambushing in the dark, all aiming at the Qujia convoy and caravan.

Then look at Qu's second-class guards, their faces were ashen, staring at the five...common people who kidnapped Miss Qu? !Aren't they the few people who were afraid of the danger on the road and begged the Qu family for help and allowed them to follow along the way?
They are obviously common people, how could they become gangsters in the blink of an eye? !And the big girl, who is usually the best at fighting, why is she so pussy at the mercy of others? !

"Fafa... what happened?" Qi came to her mother-in-law and the others trembling, and asked in a low voice.

Helpless, everyone was frightened and stupid, shaking their heads one after another, not daring to speak.On the contrary, Miss Qu's personal maid had a weeping voice:
"The girl drank their water and was poisoned..."

The maidservant had little experience, and when she saw her girl's limbs were weak and limp on the ground, she thought it was caused by poisoning.

It turned out that when Mrs. Qi got into the car to catch up on sleep, Miss Qu, who was less restrained, felt relaxed physically and mentally, and got out of the car happily for a walk.Regardless of the maid's obstruction, she insisted on caring about whether the few commoners who rubbed the car had food and drink.

The few civilians were grateful, and an old woman timidly handed her a bowl of water as a token of gratitude, hoping she would not be disgusted.

The other party's humbleness makes the girl Qu Da, who is soft on the inside and strong on the outside, feel very sympathetic, and even feels the same.Recalling the uneasy and bewildered scene when I first returned to Qu's hometown.

So, she put aside the instructions of Qu Er and her aunt Qi Shi, took the bowl and emptied it.

By the time Qu Er found out, it was too late, and the limp Miss Qu had already become someone else's proton...

"..."

Exhale, inhale, exhale again, inhale again... Qi Shi secretly took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Did you see the soldiers of the Hou Mansion?"

"No." The maid looked around with tears in her eyes, "I don't know which ones are my own..."

Qi glanced around quietly, and to be honest, she couldn't tell the difference.However, right now, she didn't care about complaining about the lack of faith in Hou Fu's words, so as not to attract the attention of the murderer, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and stood coweringly beside her mother-in-law and the others.

Everyone remained silent, watching helplessly as the murderer rummaged through boxes and cabinets and searched the car and undercarriage.

In the end, nothing was found, and everyone was terrified, fearing that they would kill everyone in a fit of anger.Unexpectedly, the leader of the murderer waved his hand neatly, and the eye-catching archers withdrew their arrows and withdrew in a blink of an eye.

After all the masked people were gone, the hostage-takers sneered, lowered their heads and said to Miss Qu:

"Miss Qu, we were ordered to hunt down Beiyue Yuanzhao, the remnant of the former dynasty, and we have no intention of embarrassing the Qu family. It's your bad luck, and you have become a chess piece used by Marquis Dingyuan to confuse the public. If you offend today, you will definitely pay back when you have the opportunity. .”

After saying that, they let go of their hands, and several people quickly rushed into the depths of the dense forest by the roadside, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, several figures sprang out from the caravan and chased them in.

"Miss, are you alright?" Seeing that the girl was out of danger, the maid rushed forward weeping with joy.

"Lan'er, Lan'er, my darling, you have nothing to do..." Mother Qu cried with her daughters-in-law's support, her legs trembling.

Usually dislike is dislike, if something happened to Qu Tinglan today, what face would they have to meet her father, Qu Guangping?They also expect him to support the clan brothers before the Holy Spirit.

During the panic, a doctor came out from the caravan and took Qu Tinglan's pulse.It was concluded that she was not poisoned, but a kind of sujin powder, and she could recover after resting for half an hour.

Just like that, half an hour later, the blushing Miss Qu jumped up and roared into the sky:

"Beiyue Yuanzhao! I, Qu Tinglan, are at odds with you in this life—!!"

"No, Miss misunderstood." Seeing this, Qu Er was about to explain, "Master Hou did indeed send troops to protect us..."

The whole caravan was like this. When nothing happened, the two teams were a little far away, but no one thought that their girl would become a proton.Qu Er once mentioned to Lord Hou in private that anyone can die, but Miss Qu must be safe.

The other party dared not do it for a long time, but it was inconvenient to say this clearly, so I had to find another opportunity to tell the girl.

"Get out!" Qu Tinglan, who didn't know what to do, had burning eyes, her mind was full of the embarrassment of being held hostage, and she was ashamed and annoyed, "I won't listen!"

If she hadn't been implicated by Beiyue Yuanzhao, how could she have made a fool of herself in public today?This account, she will settle with it sooner or later.He raised his foot and wanted to step on the stool to get on the carriage, but with a click, the stool shattered into several boards.

Qi and others: "..."
