After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Chapter 71 Encountering Bandits on Xuanfeng Valley Road

When Lin Jingrong saw that Xie Chunchao was silent, he added, "I have already told my father that I will accompany you. If I don't go, I'm afraid my father will also be worried."

Hearing this, Xie Chunchao had no choice but to agree to Lin Jingrong's request.

On this trip to the border, Xie Chunchao did not bring many people with him. He only brought five or six guards with good fist and kick skills to accompany them. The rest quietly protected them in the dark.

Due to time constraints, the two of them went back to their houses to pack their bags and agreed to set off in half an hour.

Ming Qiu asked in a low voice while packing his things, "Why do you want the young master to go with you? I heard that the general sent by Sheng Kingdom this time is their sixth prince. What if he recognizes the young master?"

Lin Jingrong said, "The border is an important area for border defense of various countries. When the two countries intersect, you have to pay a high price if you want to check the enemy's situation. Now there is an opportunity to check the border defense of Chu State openly. How can I miss it?"

Mingqiu's eyes were surprised, "So this is what Young Master is doing, I thought..."

"Why?"

"I thought the young master was worried about Princess Chunhua."

Lin Jingrong paused while holding the book and said, "Your young master knows what is important and what is important."

Mingqiu couldn't agree with this statement. Although his young master said it in a high-sounding way, he felt that the young master was there for Princess Chunhua, but he just refused to admit it.

In the princess's palace, basins of blood were brought out from the gorgeous room with carved beams and painted beams. Kneeling in front of the eight-step pear wood carved bed was a delicate and gentle woman. She was gorgeously dressed, with a head full of pearls and emeralds, and her face was covered with tears.

"Brother Aheng, who hurt you?"

"You tell me, I will let my father kill him."

Ning Heng lay on the bed with a white face, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he didn't hear the cry of the woman beside him.

"Brother Ah Heng, are you in pain? Woohoo, who on earth hurt you like this?"

Ning Heng's eyes moved and he said hoarsely, "No one, it was just me who was not careful."

"Are you not careful?" Xiyao raised her voice, "This is obviously an arrow wound. Someone deliberately killed you! Why are you still hiding it from me?"

"Princess, the consort's injury on the shoulder is not fatal. He can recover as long as he gets a lot of rest."

"Okay, I understand."

After Xiyao finished speaking, she looked at the man on the bed, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, if Brother A Heng refuses to say anything, I will investigate on my own."

She turned around and left the room, only to hear Ning Heng yell, "Xiyao, come back."

Because Xie Chunchao was so anxious, the carriage drove very fast along the way. Not to mention Lin Jingrong, who was already in poor health, even Xie Chunchao felt dizzy and nauseous while sitting there.

Xie Chunchao looked at Lin Jingrong's obviously pale face and asked, "Why don't you take another carriage and drive slowly?"

Lin Jingrong shook his head, "No, I'll go with you."

When Xie Chunchao heard this, his eyes flashed, but in the end he said nothing.

Along the way, they almost had food and accommodation in the carriage. Not to mention the people, even the horse pulling the carriage couldn't bear it.

"Princess, we will reach the border in two days. Why don't we take a rest? If we continue running, the horses will die."

Xie Chunchao raised his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance and said, "Let's take a rest."

Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong also got off the carriage and walked back and forth in the open space. She asked the accompanying escort, "Where are we now?"

"This is the boundary of Xuanfeng Valley and Nasu County." After everyone took a short rest, they started to light a fire and cook.

They ate dry food when they were hungry along the way, and could only eat one hot meal a day. In order to save time, they didn't even stay in a hotel.

Xie Chunchao saw all this and silently told Yun Xie to tell them that when they arrived at the border, everyone would be rewarded with ten silver ingots.

When everyone heard that there was a reward, not to mention the people, even the horses became more energetic.

"Princess, the meal is ready." Yun Xie placed the meal in front of Xie Chunchao.

The meals in the wild are not as good as at home, with only a portion of braised chicken and vegetables. This is an excellent meal for ordinary people, but for Xie Chunchao, who has been pampered since childhood, it is very simple.

But she didn't dislike it, on the contrary, she was very satisfied.

She learned from the guards in the past few days that sometimes when soldiers are in desperate situations during a battle, they can eat anything as long as they can fill their stomachs.

As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she saw the guards she had brought with her suddenly stood up and put their hands on the handles of their knives and looked around.

Xie Chunchao didn't know why, "What's going on?"

Lin Jingrong said softly, "I'm afraid someone is coming."

After he finished speaking, he looked deep into the dense forest, and the person who came was not malicious.

The leader of the guard walked quickly to Xie Chunchao, "Princess, get in the carriage quickly, we have to leave here quickly."

Xie Chunchao didn't ask any questions and got on the carriage neatly.

The people she brought out this time were all the best among the best, and they were absolutely loyal to her. To make them so nervous, something big must have happened.

As soon as Xie Chunchao got on the carriage, she saw an arrow shot out from the depths of the dense forest and pointed directly at her face. The guard leader saw this and quickly blocked it with a big knife. However, more and more arrows were shot out from the dense forest. The guard leader stood before Xie Chunchao. In front of him, a big sword showed great power, blocking all the arrows in a flash of silver light.

But others were not as lucky as him. Some people were still injured by arrows, and the guards who had been hiding in the dark also appeared one after another to escort Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong to drive away.

After the arrow rain ended, shouts of killing came from the jungle. They were wearing clothes of different colors and styles, with different patterns tattooed on their bare chests. Each of them looked fierce, like a bandit from a storybook.

The guards drove quickly, but the target of the group was the carriage Xie Chunchao was in. Someone shouted, "Stop that carriage, the money and women are there!"

Xie Chunchao was in shock, "Why are there bandits?"

The guard hurriedly said, "This is a deep mountain. It's not uncommon to see bandits. Judging from their costumes, they should be those of nearby bandits."

The bandits are fierce and cruel. If a man falls into their hands, they will pull him into their group. If he doesn't want to, they will just hack him to death. As for the woman...

It would be better to be hacked to death with random knives.

Although the opponent had a large number of people, they had always thought that they were just a mob. However, when they started fighting, they found that the opponent not only acted in an orderly manner, but also had superb martial arts skills. They were no match for a while.

Xie Chunchao watched as more and more people fell, while more bandits poured out from the foot of the mountain on horseback.

"Hey, this little lady is so beautiful. Brothers, we are so blessed tonight!"

One of the bandits who caught up stared at Xie Chunchao with greedy and obscene eyes.

Xie Chunchao was so angry that he kicked off the ground, leaned his back against the wall of the car, stabilized his body, raised his bow and arrow, and hit the bandit's eye with an arrow.

The bandit screamed and fell off his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. (End of chapter)
