[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

After driving for half a day, Kejing and his party stopped on a flat ground to rest.Chunyuan moved out the dry food and water he had brought, and invited everyone to have a meal together.

From Luoyang to the foot of the mountain, there is a big mountain to be crossed. Since Yang Jian usurped the state power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, he put all his energy on the unification of the North and the South.However, the bullies of the original Northern Zhou Dynasty were driven out of the village by local warriors. Robbery those merchants or government teams who went to Luoyang from the foot of the mountain to do business.

It's just that these bullies only rob but don't harm anyone, and the local government can't do anything about them, so the neighboring villagers gave them a famous name-Xianma.

After the merchants in the back heard that there was such a group, they would choose to take a detour. Even if the mountain road in the back mountain was rough and difficult to walk, it was better than being robbed of nothing and left naked.

In the afternoon sun, the light was strong, and the golden light passed through the layers of leaves above the head and leaked from the gaps.There are countless large and small light spots on the flat ground. The wind blows and shakes the leaves. The light spots move on the ground, the small ones become large, the big ones shrink into small ones, and merge into golden lines. , shadowy, grotesque.

"Your Majesty, let's drink some water." Chun Yuan took the leather bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Ke Jing, "Crossing this mountain, you can reach the foot of the mountain."

"En." Wiping off the water from the corner of his mouth, Ke Jing looked at the endless mountain road ahead. "The road here is quite wide, so why haven't I seen anyone?" At this time, it was time to plant crops, and since they climbed the mountain, they hadn't seen any nearby villagers. To her, is unusual.

"I guess they're all going home for dinner." Chun Yuan disapproved of screwing the leather bag back on.

Qiu Tang walked to Ke Jing and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, the servants should go to the front for convenience."

"be careful."

It's just convenience, why should we "pay attention to safety"?Facing Qiutang's leaving back, Chunyuan murmured softly.For her, this trip is a happy trip. Since she came to work in the East Palace, she and Ke Jing wandered around Chang'an at most, and she couldn't get out of the gate of Chang'an at the farthest. Now she can go to the foot of the mountain. It was exciting to go somewhere she had never been before.

So even if she had to walk the mountain road, she couldn't hide her playful mood.

Qiutang came back half a quarter of an hour later, Chunyuan thought she was overwhelmed and didn't ask any further questions.

When she heard the news about the paid horses in this area from a villager who was about to go to work in the farmland, she immediately came back to report to Kejing.

"Then what do we do next?"

She is not familiar with paid horses, and she can only know from the villagers that they are not easy to mess with and they are all capable gangs. When they came out this time, they didn't have many entanglements on their bodies, but the key lies in the things in the carriage. Yong put all the purple and gold incense burners in, and if someone who knows the goods sees it, even if it is not life-threatening, it will not have a very peaceful ending.What's more, there is Chunyuan who doesn't know martial arts. Once the opponent has a large number of people, she and Li Yuan will be overwhelmed. Moreover, from the beginning, the princess did not let the hidden guards she trained follow...

"According to the original plan." Standing up, Ke Jing dusted off the grass and dust on his body, and took Chun Yuan into the carriage.

Wheels and wheels looked a little lonely on the broad road, even with Li Yuan and his three young soldiers following him, it couldn't reduce the overly lonely atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, is it too extravagant for you to let us walk such a wide road?" Chun Yuan said with lingering fear as she raised the curtains and looked at the empty road outside.

When I was at the foot of the mountain before, the road was wide and flat with plenty of sunlight, but now that I entered the forest, the road was wider, but it made people feel uneasy.Especially when I heard the sound of horseshoes, it seemed more and more lonely on this empty mountain road, which made people panic.And the further you go in, the more shady the trees on both sides become.

At some point, the sun hid in the clouds, and the sky began to darken.When the carriage passed by, the crows perched on the branches could be startled, which added a touch of eerie to the mountain road.

After bumping Qiutang's shoulder, Chunyuan leaned over and whispered in her ear, "We...will not meet any bad people, right?"

It is said that the crow's mouth is the most effective. Chunyuan thought that if she understood this truth, she would not say it even if she was beaten a few times. Whether she has a crow's mouth or not, the danger is there.

When Chunyuan finished saying this, the two horses pulling the carriage let out a high-pitched roar, and the carriage suddenly hit violently, causing Chunyuan, who was sitting unprepared inside, to receive a huge momentum, and threw herself forward, hitting her forehead on the plank.

It turned out that the horse stumbled, and the carriage directly hit the horse's buttocks. Uncle Li was the worst one. Even though he was holding the rein, his whole body inevitably flew out.If Li Yuan hadn't protected him in time, at Uncle Li's age, even if he had some ability, he would be half disabled if he didn't die.

Because Qiutang pulled her back in time, Kejing didn't suffer any injuries, and the only one injured was Chunyuan.Before Chunyuan had time to complain, Qiutang grabbed her by the arm and took her outside the carriage.When the three of them had just escaped from the carriage, they heard a bang, and the carriage was torn apart by more than a dozen black-clothed masked men.

Shock can no longer be used to describe Chun Yuan's mood at this time, no complaints or grievances can match the fear welling up in his heart.Seeing those flying sawdust, she cried from the bottom of her heart—why talk so much, these villains clearly took their lives directly!

"Who are you guys? We have no grievances with you, so why do you want to harm us?" Staring at the group of men in black, Li Yuan stared at the group of men in black, with a righteous look on his face.

Qiutang took a look at him, and protected Kejing and Chunyuan behind her, the short blade in her sleeve slipped into her palm.With Kejing at the center, the three young men and Uncle Li lined up on the periphery to provide cover.

The man in black didn't buy Li Yuan's account, so he raised the sword in his hand and killed him.

There was a crisp sound when the swords met. For Chunyuan, who had never seen swords and swords before, this was a thrilling and exciting experience.

The thrilling thing is that the sword has no eyes, one doesn't know when, a hole will be pierced out of her body inexplicably; the exciting thing is that the battle between masters is a field that she, a powerless little girl, can't reach. See, that is a more realistic experience than a storyteller.

If you can't be there, you won't be able to empathize, Chunyuan thought, next time she goes back, she can also be an eloquent storyteller.

Li Yuan is worthy of being a great general. He is more than enough to deal with three or four men in black alone. Even the three young men he brought with him are also very skilled. For him who is already serious, physical strength is a flaw.

Every move of the man in black hits the nail on the head. If he doesn't concentrate, he will surely die, so no one dares to take it lightly.

Observing from the side for a while, Ke Jing found that the group of men in black were not targeting her, but their target was Li Yuan, and Li Yuan, who was fighting, also noticed this.

There were only four of the dozen men in black left. Uncle Li's arm was slashed, and his flesh turned outward. Qiutang did a simple hemostasis for Uncle Li, and when everyone was unaware, he sent out a short blade, the handle of which sank into the black The back of the clothed man, together with Li Yuan's knife, finished him off.

As a result, the last three men in black were quickly subdued, but before they could be questioned, they all committed suicide by taking poison.

A fight, death, injury, without a carriage, for Ke Jing, the rest of the journey will take more time. For the moment, finding a place where he can rest and heal his injuries is a top priority.

However, the world is unpredictable, and not long after the first wave of suffering subsided, Kejing and the others met the owner of the mountain.

"Go! Go in!" The man in coarse linen shoved Kejing and the others into the prison, and his actions were so rude that Chunyuan screamed.

"What are you pushing, what are you pushing? This girl has hands and feet, and can walk by herself!"

Seeing that Chunyuan straightened his neck, the leading man blew a loud whistle, "Hey! The little girl is still stubborn? Believe it or not, your grandpa made you cry and beg me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him laughed maliciously.After Chunyuan cursed, the man climbed up the pole and began to play tricks on her.

He was pinched when his hand touched his buttocks.The man secretly yelled that it was bad, but he had no room to fight back.His lifeline is pinched, whether he is alive or dead, his life depends entirely on the person who pinches his lifeline.

"My little brother, I think you are also a handsome person. It must be because my girl offended you in terms of language just now. Please be generous and don't take it personally."

The speaker walked out of the shadows, and the man saw her face clearly.

The appearance is above average, not much glamorous, but there are a pair of daunting eyes, as if just looking at you lightly can make people unable to say no.

Hearing that she was stepping down for himself, the man hurriedly nodded in agreement.As soon as the lifeline was released, something warm was stuffed into his hand.Then the light coming in from the high window turned out to be a jade bracelet.

"From now on, please take care of my little brother. We just went to visit our relatives, but we were arrested for no reason..."

"I understand, I understand!" The man smiled again and again, "Don't worry, girl, I will never treat the three girls badly!"
