"Miss Wei." Feng Ping drove his horse from the end of the team to the side of the carriage, looking a little flustered.
According to the speed of the horses galloping behind them, it was too late to avoid them now, and they were destined to encounter the large galloping army behind them.
Feng Ping lowered his voice and suggested, "Shall I take you to hide first?"
With his martial arts skills, he still had enough time to take Wei Yunlan alone and hide in the nearby woods.
Although this would not take care of the people on the carriage and in the team, if they were in danger, at least Wei Yunlan would be safe.
After hearing Feng Ping's words, Jiang Wu, Liu Qingxue and the other two who were sitting next to Wei Yunlan in the carriage looked a little nervous, but no one spoke.
Sui He, who was driving the carriage in front, vaguely heard Feng Ping's proposal, turned around and advised: "Miss, please go with Guard Feng!"
"You can't do that." Wei Yunlan refused decisively, and quickly said to Feng Ping beside the carriage: "Guard Feng, have the other guards follow me to both sides of the carriage. Show your swords and act as arrogantly as you can!"
After saying this, she lowered the car window curtain, bent down and reached out, pretending to rummage in the small cupboard under the seat.
He actually took out a set of gorgeous court robes and a palm-sized red gold token from the space.
"Hurry, help me put on this dress."
This court dress has three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is more troublesome to wear than ordinary clothes. Following Wei Yunlan's order, Jiang Wu and Liu Qingxue hurried to help. Fortunately, they were not from ordinary families and had worn many complicated dresses. Although they were in a hurry, they helped Wei Yunlan change into this court dress before the large army behind them rushed to the front.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer. Feng Ping and five other Tianshu Pavilion guards had divided into two rows and followed closely on both sides of the carriage.
In the carriage, Wei Yunlan gently covered Shen Yuan with a blanket and said, "Just lie down and don't worry about what's happening outside."
Then he looked at Jiang Wu and Liu Qingxue, who were wearing Tingxue and Ningshuang's clothes. "If I get off the car later, you two should follow me closely and act accordingly based on my expression."
"Yes, Boss." The two answered in unison.
Wei Yunlan suppressed the gleam in his eyes and reminded, "Change your name later."
As he spoke, the sound of horse hooves behind him became more and more deafening.
With a few horse neighs and low, rough "whoops", several tall horses blocked Wei Yunlan's caravan.
Wei Yunlan quietly looked outside through the opened corner of the car curtain.
Except for the few people who jumped out of the team first and blocked the front of the carriage, the "large army" following behind was more than three hundred people.
Judging from their attire, they all seem to be soldiers from Dayong, but there seem to be some particularly tall people mixed in with them.
Even if they are at the end of the team, you can see at a glance that they are half a head taller than the people in front.
Noticing this detail, Wei Yunlan couldn't help but look stern and began to sweat.
At this time, Feng Ping had already followed Wei Yunlan's instructions. He frowned, grasped the hilt of the sword, and pulled most of the sword from the scabbard. He said in a stern voice: "Who are you? Do you know who my master is? How dare you stop our convoy?"
The leading man saw that Feng Ping had an arrogant attitude and his aura was not like that of an ordinary servant or guard, so he looked a little hesitant.
But after his deputy stepped forward and whispered a few words, the hesitation suddenly turned into sharpness. He glanced suspiciously at the carriage where Wei Yunlan was and the mule carts behind, and ordered: "No matter who you are, everyone in the car gets off and is subject to inspection."
"Why?" Feng Ping refused to give in, the sword in his hand fully unsheathed.
Just by looking at the cold light flashing on the sword, one can tell that it is not an ordinary weapon. It is at least a "high-quality product" worth tens or hundreds of taels of silver.
The six guards, armed with sophisticated weapons and bearing extraordinary aura, must be quite skilled.
Although there were few people, it was still quite difficult to fight. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but today they had something important to do.
In line with the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble, the leader stopped his subordinates who were about to take action and said seriously: "It's not even dawn yet, and you're in a hurry. It's very suspicious. I suspect you are related to the hijacking case yesterday."
Feng Ping was shocked.
This statement is most likely related to what happened in Cao Mansion’s villa yesterday!
The exchange of intelligence between these corrupt officials in Huangzhou was actually closer than they expected.
These people probably got the news and rushed to encircle and suppress their master, or to look for the whereabouts of Master Cao and the Prince of the Northern Barbarians.
We must tell the master about the situation as soon as possible.
But the more important thing is not to let these people suspect them and Miss Wei.
Otherwise, before they have time to remind their master, their team will be in trouble first.
Just as Feng Ping was hesitating about how to respond, an extremely arrogant voice came from the car.
"My Lord?"
"Who are you to give orders to this young lady?"
The voice sounded very familiar, but the tone was completely unfamiliar.
Feng Ping turned around and saw Wei Yunlan lift the curtain and walk out of the carriage with the help of two people.
It turned out that those two sentences were spoken by Miss Wei. At first, he thought it was the eldest daughter of the princes and dukes in the capital who was spoiled and lawless.
"I am Liu Tong, the deputy commander of the Danyun Guard Command." Liu Tong sat on the horse, looking down at the woman who got off the carriage, with an air of superiority, as if he had anticipated the compliments that were about to come.
The rank of the assistant commander is second only to the commander-in-chief and the associate commander.
It can be said that he is the third most powerful person in the entire Huangzhou in terms of military power, and he is in charge of five thousand households!
These people should feel honored to have him leading the search.
But the expected polite words and compliments did not come at all. After he introduced himself, the woman who got off the carriage sneered with disdain.
"Liu Tong? Never heard of him."
"A mere deputy commander of a local garrison dares to stop my car and order me to do something? What a joke!"
The woman's attitude was even more arrogant than her guards, and the disdain in her eyes was obvious, without any attempt to conceal it.
But the more she did this, the more Liu Tong dared not to act rashly.
"Whose master's house in Huangzhou are you from?"
"Desolate State?" Wei Yunlan curled her lips, "I am not from such a bitter and cold place."
"Who are you?" Listening to the woman's tone and looking at her dazzlingly gorgeous clothes, Liu Tong spoke more politely.
"I am the Princess of Qinghe County, who was personally conferred the title by His Majesty."
Meeting Liu Tong's blank gaze, Wei Yunlan frowned and gave him a look that said "you are really ignorant", then continued: "The ancestor of our family is the current Prince Duan who is in charge of the clan government!"
