Jade spy border

Chapter 107 Breaking the Game (4)

Outside Mei County, Menan Prefecture, people come and go on the official road. Mei County is one of the few counties in Menan Prefecture that has more plains than mountains. This section of the official road just winds along the Lin River. Although it is not very flat, But there are mountains on the other side. Linnan River flows quietly like a dark green jade belt. The gradually setting sun emits bright orange-red light between the mountains and rivers, making it unforgettable.

People on the road rarely stopped to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of them. Six guards at the front and rear were riding horses, guarding a luxury carriage. Suddenly they encountered a deep pit. The carriage bumped violently, and a middle-aged man was lying on the carriage. The man was bounced up and down again, screaming out, his face getting paler.

The butler who was kneeling and serving next to him was also knocked aside. Before he could sit down, he quickly helped the middle-aged man lift the quilt to check.

The guard captain who was sitting in the car outside heard the noise, opened the curtain a crack to look at the situation, and then said respectfully: "Second Master, we will arrive in Huancheng soon. We'd better stay in Huancheng for one night, and get up early tomorrow and start our journey again." Well, otherwise the official road will be more difficult to walk at night, I'm afraid my bones won't be able to withstand the torment."

The second master's voice was weak: "Tonight and tomorrow, we have to take this same road, and we can't go around it, so we'd better go all night."

The housekeeper opened the curtain and took a look, and saw that there didn't seem to be anything unusual along the way. He thought that if he was traveling at night, he would have to pass through a canyon where he could easily be ambushed, and even if he encountered bandits, he would be tangled with them, so he nodded. He said: "It's better to go to the city and find an inn to repair. The second master can also have a good sleep."

When the second master saw that the housekeeper also said he wanted to go to the city, he couldn't help but muttered: "I have a long night and a lot of dreams. How can I sleep? It's better to travel more and arrive earlier..."

But the housekeeper ignored him. If someone didn't know them, they would think that the master and servants were a bit weird. The servants and guards dared not to listen to the master. Only they themselves understood the relationship between them.

Shen Xiangqing wore the clothes of a merchant's housekeeper. Only with slumped shoulders and lowered head could he conceal his original heroic aura. The guards outside were all his dragon cavalry guards, wearing the clothes of bodyguards and guards. , but he plays his true character.

Compared with them, Luo Er, the second master who is not the second master, is not sure whether he is too ill to be the master, or he does not have the aura to be the master of the house, or he is hiding in the mezzanine under the cabin. For three or four days, he had no food or drink and had difficulty breathing. When Shen Xiangqing led others to rescue him, he was already very angry. If it weren't for the life-saving pills that Longqiwei carried with him, even the Daluo Immortal wouldn't have been able to save him.

After Luo Er was rescued, he was in a daze for a day or two. Not to mention rushing, everyone he saw was trembling and begging for mercy.Shen Xiangqing and the Dragon Cavalry Guards just felt strange, how could such a coward save his life. After a day or two, Luo Er gradually believed that this group of people were not thieves. Although their identities were unknown, they should be He didn't mean to harm himself, so he returned to normal.

Seeing that Luo Er seemed to have regained his sanity, Shen Xiangqing asked him if he would be willing to cooperate if he, the suffering master, was to be sent back to Linnancheng.When Luo Er heard that he was going back to Linnancheng, he began to tremble all over again. The bloody smell that filled the ship that day really frightened him. He would not be able to mention this place in the southwest again in his life, let alone mention it.

Seeing that Luo Er was unwilling to go back, Shen Xiangqing had to ask him to think about the current situation. Regardless of whether he wanted to go back or not, they had to take him back. They would just serve him well and take him back, or simply knock him out and take him back. As long as he After returning home, if I can go to Yuxian Zun and explain the details of the robbery that I was escorted to, and hand over the memorandum signed by him, it will be regarded as saving his life in vain.Luo Er didn't know what Shen Xiangqing and the others did, but since they could bring him to Yu County Zun, it couldn't be a gang fight between mountain bandits and water bandits, not to mention that these people didn't look like bandits. I thought that if I just went back to Liangzhe Road, I would lose both my money and goods, and I wouldn't be able to explain it to my boss. Besides, looking at the attitude of these people, they would definitely take me back, so I could only nod in agreement.

So Shen Xiangqing took Luo Er first back to Shunan County, where the river mouth belongs. A few days later, there was this team. On the road, the unified statement was that the second son of the Zhao family, a merchant in Shu, finally recovered from his illness. When he was able to set off for the Wanshou Temple in Linnan Mountain to seek medical treatment, in addition to his own nursing home, he also hired someone from the escort agency to escort him.

Why do you use such an identity? Because the Zhao family in Shuyue did have an Erlang who suddenly fell ill this autumn. He called on famous doctors and stayed on his bed. In addition, in addition to being rich, the Zhao family also had someone who worked for the King of Yunan. Yue is something that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.

Moreover, the Zhao family's old residence is in the east of Shu, with high mountains and long roads. If they want to find out whether this is the case, this team can reach Linnan Mountain in a round trip.

The first few counties came safely, but starting from entering Mei County, for some reason, the dragon cavalry guards all noticed something was wrong. They originally planned to travel all night, but as long as they passed the canyon in Huan County, they would be there. An ambush is not that easy, but now I have to change my mind temporarily. Taking the official road in the clear sky in the daytime, even if I cross the canyon, I shouldn't intercept and kill them directly.

But all things should be done in this place in the southwest, it's all gambling.Shen Xiangqing couldn't figure out what went wrong. If the news had really leaked out, where did it come from?
Hurrying slowly, we finally entered the county seat of Huanxian County before the sun set. However, Huanxian County has always been a passing county. The road to Linnan is probably not easy to walk. Generally, businessmen will choose to settle in Huanxian County. As a result, many inns and restaurants were opened in the city, but even so, every place was full, so Shen Xiangqing and his party were forced to settle in an inn far away from the city gate.

The more this happened, the more vigilant the dragoon guards who had been licking blood from their knives all year round became. Although they ordered food and porridge as usual, they did not dare to eat a bite. They did not even dare to take a sip of water from the inn. In front of a table of dishes, He just took turns watching, filling his stomach with the water in the water bag he carried, and the dry biscuits he brought with him. Even Lian Luo Er, who was hungry, could only sigh while looking at the porridge, and swallowed two ginseng supplements. Mingwan is in trouble.

Seeing that Shen Xiangqing and others were so nervous, Luo Er couldn't help but asked tremblingly: "Okay... Butler, is it not peaceful tonight?"

Shen Xiangqing pondered for a long time before saying: "The wind is a bit tight, but don't worry, no matter what, as long as we are still alive, we will protect you."

When Luo Er heard this, he couldn't help but start to tremble all over. When Shen Xiangqing saw this posture, he simply knocked him out. Anyway, it is normal for a patient to fall asleep.
