[Red Chamber] Aunt Xue doesn't want to be a widow

The caravan of the Xue family was about to reach the area where the bandits were ambushing. Part of this caravan was hired by the Escort Bureau, and there were also some guards from the Xue family and people from Prince Zhongshun's side.

The leader of them already knew that the road behind had been guarded by the bandits, in order to hide the news. They thought that the bandits should be hiding near here at this time, so they proceeded more cautiously.

Sure enough, the place tens of meters ahead is indeed a very suitable place for Tibetans. I don't know how many people are dispatched by the other side. Now the entire caravan has reached nearly [-] people, but he has no scruples. The main thing is his side. Also with a "secret weapon".

The caravan moved forward cautiously, and the speed was not very fast, but the bandits on Mingtong Mountain were naturally anxious, seeing that the sky would gradually light up after a while, even if there were many people on their side, they couldn't deal with those below. It will take some effort to kill it, and it is best to hope that the things can be transported to the mountain before the sun is bright.

When the caravan finally arrived at the ambush section, the bandits acted very quickly and shot some arrows at first, but this didn't seem to have a particularly big effect. The shield withstood the attack.

The bandits could only move out, like wild beasts out of the cage, rushing towards the caravan. In their minds, it would not be difficult for several people to deal with one.

When the two sides were fighting together, the bandits didn't hear those broken voices, but they really saw that the caravan covered their mouths and noses with scarves, so they were not stupid and naturally knew what was wrong. , Subconsciously held his mouth and nose, but it was too late to react, and the medicine without the other party's anti-drug effect was not very effective.

Because it was released at close range, it didn't seem like it would take a while to drift away in the stockade. All the bandits here were brought down in a short time.

At this time, the people in the escort agency who followed finally knew the reason why they asked to cover their mouths and noses with the issued face scarves after being reminded before leaving.

At this time, the bandits guarding both sides had already been secretly executed, and they were replaced by people from Prince Zhongshun's side. At this time, they could not return to Gusu. The rope was tied tightly, his mouth was gagged, and he moved to the mountain.

Besides, the place chosen by the bandits is really hidden. At this time, even if they have more than 200 people, they are not conspicuous at all. According to the master's order, the unconscious people are fed Mongolian sweat medicine one by one, so that these bandits can continue to sleep for several days. an hour.

As for my own side, apart from sending some people to guard, the rest of the people had already ran to the road and lay down on the road pretending to be injured.

The box on the carriage was also hidden, as if it was really attacked and robbed by the bandit.

At this time, Prince Zhongshun had already returned to Gusu, and hurriedly asked safe people to secretly transport the things and people out of the city, and sent them to the capital as quickly as possible, presenting them to the present and the Supreme Emperor.

On the one hand, he didn't delay, and took people to the Wu land.

There is also Wang Zimeng in the team.

The main reason is that since Prince Yizhong can get such a clever poison miasma, maybe there is someone who is good at poison around him.

Wang Zimeng didn't know how to ride a horse, and being led by a female guard at this time, he still felt that he was about to be torn apart by the bumps.

Their goal this time is Xucheng next to Wucheng. Prince Ma Zhongshun there has already been mobilized with tokens, and they are waiting for their side to pass.

At this time, Prince Yizhong's main energy was to focus on the affairs of Gusu, so he didn't notice such a movement around him at all, but it was also because Prince Yizhong had never paid attention to the surrounding barren town and aimed at it. Most of them are rich areas like Jiangnan and Gusu.

In addition, he didn't intend to raise troops in the past two years, and he was still in the stage of accumulating strength, so he was not so strict about the arrangement around him.

The distance between Gusu and Xucheng would take half a day even if it was a fast horse, so the most important thing at this time was that no mistakes could be made on Gusu's side in the next half day.

Not long after walking this way, Bai Xuan sent people over to investigate. The guards disguised themselves as bandits and naturally let "our own people" go. When the investigators saw the scene, they knew that they had succeeded. At this time, this matter can't be made public. At this time, the bandits must still be on the way back to the cottage. If they can't make any noise and let people continue to hold hands, he hastily went back to report.

Bai Xuan knew that the "Bandit" had succeeded, and the big stone in his heart had already fallen. Next, as long as he could delay as much as possible to prevent people from discovering the situation over there prematurely, he could buy more time for the Bandit.

The only thing to pay attention to is that if the people on the caravan side wake up, they still need to be controlled, but this is the responsibility of the person in charge, and he only needs to be responsible for delaying the time.

On this point, Bai Xuan and Lin Ruhai actually coincided with each other, because he already knew about Prince Zhongshun's arrangement, and also learned about the progress of Xue's caravan from Xue Qingxian, so he also wanted to delay for Prince Zhongshun.

So early in the morning, Gusu was not very peaceful. There was a small fire in the granary where the grain was stored in Gusu City. Naturally, the government had to go all out to fight the fire. Bai Xuan, Lin Ruhai and the others also gathered together. Command at the granary. After all, the grain in this granary is a major matter related to the livelihood of the people. It is really not sloppy at all. It can be regarded as busy for an hour and continue to count and deal with the aftermath after the fire is extinguished.

Afterwards, all the officials went to the Yamen to discuss how to report the matter to the imperial court. The area of ​​the fire this time was not small, enough to burn a small granary, but fortunately most of the places were saved without any danger.

Bai Xuan looked at the embarrassed look of the people below who had been tossed about by the accident just now, and he was very proud of his talent in his heart, this was just right!

In the next hour, I was discussing how to report and how to solve the follow-up problems. At the same time, I had to arrange people to investigate the cause of the fire, and the time passed quickly.

It was not until they were almost busy that someone reported to the officials that the Xue family caravan was robbed by bandits 10 miles outside the city.

At this time, Lin Ruhai looked at Bai Xuan's bright eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was really inferior to Bai Xuan in terms of handling things. He had arranged some troubles, but when the granary caught fire, he stopped his side. plan of.

Although I felt a little distressed looking at the burned food, and I knew how daring Bai Xuan was, but it was really good to think of today's experience and really be able to delay time very well.

Everyone knew that the goods brought by the Xue family caravan on this trip were of great value, and everyone who had just finished discussing the matter of the granary rushed out of the city.

After arriving at the scene, it was discovered that the caravan's escort team had no casualties, but they were more or less drugged.

Bai Xuan finally let go of his worries. Fortunately, the prince's arrangements were good, and there were no casualties, so it would be easier to explain.

"This... The Xue family just left our Gusu with the prince, and this happened in our territory! Alas!" Bai Xuan sighed when he saw the situation clearly, as if it was really because I am worried about these two major incidents in one day today.

"It's better to wake everyone up quickly, take them back first and ask what's going on before we talk about it." Lin Ruhai's expression became more eager, and Bai Xuan sneered in his heart when he saw it. He really had lived in the Lin family for a few days and his friendship was extraordinary. , or Lin Ruhai, who has never been too social with others, is really worried about the Xue family.

Afterwards, he naturally got busy, waiting for the people from the government to bring the caravans back to the yamen, it was almost noon, Bai Xuan didn't even bother to eat lunch in order to show his importance, so he opened the class to ask The case comes.

Because the amount of money involved in this case was huge, all the officials who followed him went to court, and it was quite a battle.

Lin Ruhai looked at Bai Xuan's frown on the surface, but in fact his eyes were piercing, and he felt shameless in his heart, but thinking about it, today's hour is just the time to procrastinate, and Prince Zhongshun should be coming soon.

At this time, in a courtyard in Xucheng next to Wucheng, Wang Zimeng was applying ointment to herself in the room. The trip was bumpy and there was no time to rest. It would be good to take the pills secretly, but this is the first time someone is taking the feeling of running a horse, especially the sharp pain in the thigh. Naturally, this time the mission is urgent and I will not bring irrelevant people with me. Shi Zimeng could only take out the best ointment and apply it.

Prince Zhongshun and the others did not have such troubles. Although they were a little tired all the way, they joined the people here as soon as they arrived here, and then began to discuss the arrangements for the future.

Some news from Wucheng has been investigated by the people here. General Sun Cheng, who led the team this time, was originally familiar with Prince Zhongshun. When the two parties met, they immediately discussed the current form and the next arrangement. How could it be the smallest? The price will directly control Prince Yizhong.

Prince Zhongshun also considered Wang Zimeng's mist bomb, but firstly, Wucheng is very large, so it is naturally not suitable for use, and secondly, Wang Zimeng also said that the raw materials have been exhausted, and there is not much to produce.

At this time, I can only think of another way. After all, this is the territory of Prince Yizhong in Wucheng. The hidden people must be incomparable to Mingtong Mountain, although there are nearly 2 people on my side. , It is not enough to think about it.

Prince Yizhong didn't expect that he was being targeted now. He had just received the news that Gusu had already succeeded, and the news from Bai Xuan had been sent. He thought that the letter from the mountain would be coming soon. Made a fortune.
