The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 364 The Consequences of a Broken Car

"Come on baby, let's have a drink!"

Duan Pei raised his glass in one hand and came to the bedside with a candle in the other. After taking a sip, he dripped a drop of wax oil on Zhu'er's body. Accompanied by Zhu'er's pain, he laughed loudly and drank the wine in the glass in one last gulp. , and then smiled viciously.

"Come on, let's play a new trick..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the man fell to the ground, and the candle in his hand fell beside him. When he was about to light his clothes, a figure flashed out and stomped them out, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Miss Pearl, are you all right?"

A strange voice sounded in the darkness.

"...I'm fine."

After a while, Pearl's trembling voice came out.

"That's good, pack up and get out of here."

Then there was a slight rustling sound, and soon there was no movement.

Zhu'er struggled to get up and turned on the lamp, seeing that Duan Pei was no longer there, apparently taken away.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the painful torment was over.

After resting for a while, she got up and found the bottle of medicine that Duan Li gave her, and went to the back of the bed, where a tub had been prepared, she poured the medicine into the tub, enduring the pain in her body...

……

The morning light of the next day enveloped the city of Kyoto again, and a group of people from the Royal Temple of Kyoto escorted a car out, went straight to the south gate, and quickly left the city, far away.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Duan Wen's face was exposed. He took a deep breath in the clear air of late autumn, looked greedily at the yellowing vegetation on both sides, and said softly.

"I forgot when was the last time I was out of town."

The driver sitting on the shaft was wearing a bamboo hat, he turned his head and said.

"When the son is well, you can come out every day."

It was Uncle who spoke.

Duan Wen smiled.

"Uncle, I think we will succeed this time. I have a hunch."

Uncle laughed.

"That's good. Shizi, you should put on some clothes. It's getting cold sooner or later."

"Ah."

Duan Wen obediently put on a piece of clothing, still looked left and right, talking to uncle from time to time.

From Kyoto to Zhangjiacun, where Zhang Xiaohua lives, it takes a day or two to ride a horse, and an overnight stay is required on the way.

It feels very unsafe to stay out overnight, which is why uncle objected, but Duan Wen insisted on coming out, so he had to do his best to take precautions.

Fortunately, with the token of Rongwang Mansion, it is much more convenient to do things.

The first night was spent at the inn, and everyone felt like an enemy, but nothing happened that night.

When he was on the road the next day, Duan Wen felt a little sorry to see that his uncle was not in good spirits.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so nervous. We came out of the royal monastery. No one knows, and nothing will happen. Besides, there are secret guards from the palace to protect us."

"It's always right to be careful," Uncle Ah said.

Looking at the scenery on the road for a long time is not interesting. Duan Wen lost interest and felt tired, so he lay down in the car to rest.

In the afternoon, in order to rush to the next lodging place, the carriage drove a little faster, but the wheels of the carriage broke down. If it wasn't for Uncle holding the horse, the carriage would have overturned.

Uncle's hairs stood on end immediately, he pulled out his knife, and watched the movement around him vigilantly.

Others also surrounded the car and looked around.

There was nothing but the sound of the wind, and no pedestrians passed by. Seeing that the evening was approaching, the place to stay was still far away, and the car broke down again, Uncle had to think about it.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Duan Wen was also very nervous.

The wheels of the car fell off, and now it is all up to Uncle to carry it to control the balance, but it will not work if it continues like this.

Seeing that there is no danger for the time being, Uncle asked someone to help lift the cart and unload the horse, and recited Duanwen by himself.

"Get the car fixed so we can get out of here!"

The others took orders and began to repair the car while being vigilant.

Duan Wen said.

"Uncle, please put me down first."

Uncle found a stone, put Duan Wen on it, and sat beside him, still fully alert.

Duan Wen looked at everyone busy repairing the car, feeling a little puzzled.

"How could the car break down?"

"Before I left the temple, I checked it myself, and found nothing unusual." Uncle whispered.

"That's weird. It hasn't been too long since Uncle finished the inspection and I got in the car. How could something happen? Could it be last night..."

Uncle's face darkened.

"It was only last night that the other party had a chance to do something. The person watching the car should be damned!"

Duan Wen was stunned for a moment, feeling warm in his heart.

"Uncle, did you ask someone to look at the car last night?"

Uncle looked a little remorseful.

"You have me guarding. If the other party wants to take the opportunity to harm you, they can only start with the car and the horse. I asked someone to watch. When I checked in the morning, I only paid attention to the horse. I didn't look carefully at the car. I didn't expect something to go wrong." .”

"Uncle, don't blame yourself, as long as the other party is willing, he will always find a chance."

While the two were talking, a guard over there came to report.

"My lord, the axle was broken artificially."

Even though he had expected it, Duan Wen still felt a chill.

Uncle didn't get up, nor did he call the guard to come forward, he just nodded and sent him to repair the car.

The days in late autumn were a bit short, and it was getting dark, but the car was still not repaired, so Uncle decided to take Duan Wen back.

"My lord, we can't wait any longer, let's go back on horseback!"

Duan Wen hesitated.

"My lord, we can find another chance!" Uncle said eagerly.

Duan Wen also knew the seriousness, but he was reluctant to go back like this, but it was a matter of safety, so he finally followed Uncle's suggestion.

"Okay, then I will trouble Uncle."

Uncle Ah ordered people to continue repairing the car, carried Duan Wen on his back and rode back on the horse.

Duan Wen is physically disabled and cannot ride a horse, so he can only ride with Uncle Uncle. Uncle Uncle has brought another horse and plans to change horses halfway.

Uncle was in a hurry and kept urging the horse.

It was dark, and there were no people on either side of the place, and the two of them were a little nervous.

The more worried he was, the sharp whistle sounded, and the two horses were startled, neighing and running wildly.

In desperation, Uncle let go of the other horse and tried his best to subdue the sitting horse, but the horse tripped over its hoof and fell to the ground after running for a long time.

The moment the horse fell to the ground, Uncle picked up Duan Wen and got off the horse. Before he could stand still, a few sharp arrows shot at him!
Hearing the sound of the wind, he protected Duan Wen and rolled away on the spot, and finally missed the arrow.

Uncle didn't stop, and rolled some distance away and asked in a low voice.

"Sir!"

Duan Wen resisted the pain of body friction and hurriedly said.

"I am fine."

Uncle felt relieved, changed him to his back, and ran forward, but the sharp arrow was shot again, so he had to block it while rushing forward.

After doing this several times, suddenly he felt a burst of weakness, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.

"Uncle!"

Duan Wen was frightened and couldn't help but yelled.

"I...was poisoned...Damn it!" Uncle Ah said with difficulty.

Duan Wen remembered something, stretched out his hand and tore off the bag on Uncle's waist, grabbed all the medicine bottles inside, and cried anxiously and tremblingly.

"Uncle, what kind of medicine, tell me, what kind of medicine!"

"My son... I seem to be dying..."
