Chapter 329

Shutong touched another handful of melon seeds from nowhere, and said while knocking, the sound of melon seeds falling to the ground was very small, and the one-armed man's body trembled involuntarily when it landed in the ear of the one-armed man.

Hearing that she was so confident, Young Master Xiao's master and servant felt a little relieved, "That girl Zhang, do you really want to take bandits as servants?"

"Huh! The people who drove the car and led the way are all dead, who will take me to Ancheng?" Shutong licked his melon seeds quickly with his small mouth.

"What! You still have to go to Ancheng now!"

Young Master Xiao was in a hurry, "The road is so far away, what should I do if I encounter any danger?"

Shutong looked at him strangely, "Don't you plan to go? Isn't your housekeeper urging you to send these medicinal materials to your father every day?"

Young Master Xiao sneered, and then put on a sad face, "I really want to share my father's worries, but Uncle Zhao is dead, and the guys are all hurt, I can't do anything by myself!"

"Injured people, leave them in the hospital at the next stop, there are so many bandits at their beck and call, they can continue on their way!"

Master Xiao shrank his neck, "Miss Zhang, you really want to go to Ancheng, but Uncle Zhao is dead, we may not be able to pass the checkpoint ahead, besides these bandits are deserters, we will be implicated if we take them on the road!"

"What level, why can't I pass it?" Shutong stopped eating melon seeds, she just wanted to go home.

Young Master Xiao anxiously said: "Don't you know? I heard that the army is about to hit Ancheng, and now there is a card in front of it to prohibit passage. My family has a business in Ancheng, and we can pass through the checkpoints everywhere!"

"Now that Uncle Zhao is dead, no one else will recognize us at all. I'm afraid that these carts of medicinal materials will be detained before they are delivered to Ancheng. Maybe they will label us as collaborators and arrest us all." Already!"

"Is it really as serious as you said?" Shutong rubbed his chin in thought.

When Master Xiao encountered bandits when he went out, he had been frightened for a long time, and he wished to make the matter more serious.

"Miss Zhang, I'm not lying to you! The war is in turmoil now, and I don't know what happened to me? Besides, we are transporting medicinal materials in this truck, which are in short supply. Who wouldn't want to grab them?"

"Listen to me and go home with me!"

Shutong looked at him in surprise, "Why should I go to your house?"

Young Master Xiao quickly laughed, "It's too dangerous for you to go out as a single woman, why don't you stay at my house for now, I'll find someone to send a message to your family and report your safety, and when peace comes, it won't be too late for you to go back!"

Shutong waved his hand, "Don't bother, you can go there if you don't want to, I want to go home!"

It’s been a year since I’ve been wandering around, and I’m really homesick!
Master Xiao was not only taken aback when he heard her meaning, Miss Zhang left, what about the convoy?Can I and the two girls take these wounded and medicinal materials back?
But Shutong was already waving at the one-armed man, "Come here, I have something to ask you!"

The one-armed man hurried over, "The Queen has something to say, please tell me!"

"What's your name?"

The one-armed man was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Little Zhang Shan!"

"How far is it to Ancheng from here? Will there be a place where there is a war?"

Zhang Shan originally crawled out of the pile of dead people on the front line. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Majesty, you are going to Ancheng, go straight for six hundred miles along the official road, and turn over two hills. Now it is fighting, you Let's see if we should take a detour?"

"Isn't it over yet?"

Shutong was surprised, he had stayed in Qingfeng Temple for a long time, why didn't he finish playing outside?

Zhang Shan hurriedly said, "Although King Zhao's army is brave and invincible, the King of Zhennan has sent more people. The frontline battle is stalemate, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while!"

Shutong thought about it, and said again: "Didn't I hear that we are almost arriving in Ancheng? Didn't Hengxuan, the governor of Ancheng, send troops?"

Zhang Shan is just a big soldier, how could he know this, he said with a smile, "This little guy really doesn't know, why don't you send someone to find out!"

"No need!"

Shutong waved his hand, "Do you know the way to Ancheng?"

Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If you take the official road, you can get there in about three days, but there is a war ahead, we have to detour, it may take about ten days!"

Shutong looked at Young Master Xiao who was frowning tightly, "There is no need to detour, the convoy has to go back, let's ride horses!"

"Miss Zhang, are you going to abandon me?" Young Master Xiao didn't say a word, and the girl was in a hurry.

"Miss Zhang, you can't leave us alone!"

Shutong looked at her strangely, "Aren't you going back?"

Young Master Xiao was very conflicted. Of course he knew that his father was eagerly waiting for these medicinal materials, but if they were to lead a convoy across the battlefield, it would definitely be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and there would be no return!
He hurriedly said, "Miss Zhang, the imperial army and King Zhao's army are fighting, and the goods here are all medicinal materials. No one who sees them will let us go!"

Shutong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Since you know that sending medicinal materials is dangerous, why do you still want to go?"

Young Master Xiao smiled wryly, "This batch of medicinal materials was ordered by Captain Ancheng in my shop, and it was agreed to be delivered in half a year. Nowadays, it is difficult to get the medicinal materials due to the wars everywhere, and it has been delayed until now. My father has already collected the deposit and will not send the medicinal materials. It's not enough to send it over to pay for my shop!"

"Uncle Zhao has a good relationship with the checkpoints along the way, and the detour should be able to deliver the goods smoothly, but now that he is dead, I, I really can't help it!" Master Xiao now knows that he is anxious!

"You mean that these medicinal materials are for Hengxuan?" Shu Tong rubbed his chin, this guy is considered an acquaintance, do you want to give him a hand?

At this time, the other bandits also came back, and brought the looted property to her, "My queen, these are all honored by the little ones!"

Shutong saw that they were all ordinary gold and silver, "Load the car first, and get ready to go!"

The escaped horse was brought back, and she chose a big horse that was pleasing to the eye and turned over to sit on it.

The other bandits also got on their horses one after another. Zhang Shan was a little bit reluctant to look at the medicinal materials in those carts, "Queen, what should I do with these medicinal materials?"

Shutong curled her lips and said, "It's not ours!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Young Master Xiao was in a hurry, "Miss Zhang, wait, you really want to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's lair ahead!"

Shutong giggled and said, "I'm the queen, what are you afraid of!"

"Master Xiao, are you sure you don't want to come with me? If your family can't deliver the goods on time, your father may be beheaded!"

This is what young master Xiao is worried about. He has a lot of money, and if he fails to deliver the goods on time, he will have to pay ten times the compensation. Although he is a dude, he is not a fool.

But compared with life, money can only be given up!
Listening to Shutong's words at this moment, I suddenly remembered that his father was still in Ancheng, and no one reported him.

The shop repeatedly delayed the delivery, if Captain An Cheng could really kill his father, that would be terrible!
His face paled instantly, "Then what should we do?"

Shutong thought about it and smiled: "You can trust me and set off with me!"

There is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, except for a few dying, there are only three masters and servants left. If no one helps them, they will not be able to go back the same way!
