Shen Liang is currently resting in bed in the courtyard. The first two days are the critical period. Doctor Qin from the Shi family comes over once a day. Last night, Shi Murou also instructed two servants to come and take care of his daily needs.
When Shen Liang woke up in the morning, he waited for Shi Murou to bring him news, but by noon, Shi Murou still hadn't appeared.
Could it be that she is using this incident to desperately try to persuade Grandpa Shi and the Shi family?
Good things often come with difficulties, and it might take two or three days. Shen Liang believed that with his previous efforts, Shi Murou was already completely devoted to him and there was no turning back.
But for some reason, perhaps because Shi Murou kept asking him last night whether the snake came from inside the house or outside, he felt a little uneasy.
However, after thinking it over, he realized that Shi Murou was just concerned about him and afraid that the snake would appear again.
She's simple-minded; how could she think that far ahead?
Shen Liang's lips curled up. He had risked his life, and in the end, he would get everything he wanted.
Once things are settled with the Shi family, he'll only need to put in a little effort with the Qiao family, and Qiao Xi'er will eventually be his.
With that thought in mind, Shen Liang fell into a deep sleep again.
By this time, the men of the Qiao family had already traveled fifty li.
A few days ago, when they traveled this route, those people were lying in ambush twenty miles away, and they massacred several brothers from Ningwei Escort Agency. This morning, they were on guard but passed through smoothly, so everyone relaxed a lot, chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Even Yang Laoda and Yang Laoer found it strange. Those people had even come to the city to look for them, eyeing the goods in their hands. Now that they had shown up, why had they disappeared without a trace?
There were bandit strongholds twenty or thirty miles away, and those were the most dangerous areas. Now that they had passed those places, Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er figured there shouldn't be any problems.
Old Yang laughed: "You guys are really lucky. You didn't run into those thieves on this trip. You made an easy money on your first trip."
“Brother Yang, we dare not be careless. We are all on high alert. The safer a place is, the more dangerous it may be,” said Boss Qiao.
Although everyone was more relaxed and no longer as tense as they were at the beginning, they were still a little cautious.
Seeing that the Qiao family man was indeed subtly observing his surroundings, his body exuding a vigilance and killing intent accumulated from fighting countless wild beasts in the mountains, the Yang brothers were quite satisfied.
“Brother Yang, if we encounter those people, we’ll wipe them all out. It’s a way of avenging your brothers. Since they are Brother Yang’s brothers, they are also our brothers,” said Qiao Laosan.
"Okay, I like what you said. However, you not only need to protect every shipment, but also yourselves. Your families are waiting for you to come home."
Thinking of their families gave the Qiao family even more motivation.
This shipment is worth over 20,000 taels of silver. Boss Yang revealed to them that the box they were escorting contained exquisite antiques with a history of a thousand years. There weren't many of them, and each one was worth several thousand taels of silver, so it was easy to move and hide them.
If we can arrive smoothly, we'll get over sixty taels.
Ahead is a large gap formed by two mountains, and then the road turns right.
A strong wind rushed in from the mountain pass, rustling the forest. The sun was rising higher and higher from the other side of the gap, casting a strong, dazzling light on everyone's faces, making it difficult to see the road ahead. The dust blown up by the wind blurred everyone's vision.
"Everyone be careful," Qiao Dayong said in a low voice.
Yang Lao Er laughed: "Nothing usually happens here. Those two mountains are steep cliffs, not good for hiding people. It looks dangerous, but we've never encountered anything."
Unless, of course, those people are really going to fight to the death.
