Chapter 121
: Silence The three of them looked up at Jiang Shu at the same time.
Jiang Shu was terrified by their gazes, and swallowed his saliva and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
Tan Yu said, "I saw the prince and the boss walking to the river together."
"Miss Jiang is back, why didn't the master come back?" Zhuiyun was puzzled.
Jiang Shu pursed his lips and said, "He is not under my control, how can I know."
After saying this, Jiang Shu didn't want to entangle with them anymore, and turned to leave.
As luck would have it, Yu Zheng came back from the river and happened to hear what Jiang Shu had just said. When
their eyes met, Jiang Shu felt inexplicably guilty and turned away.
"What happened to the boss these two days? Why is he so weird?" Tan Yu was confused.
Yu Zheng didn't say anything, found a seat and sat down, waiting for dinner.
Seeing this, Zhuiyun and Zhufeng said nothing more and hurried to cook.
The post stations were more than a hundred miles apart, and with so many of them escorting prisoners, it was not suitable for them to go into the town. During the lunch break, they could only buy dry food and make their own food. For
a simple meal on the road, Zhuiyun cooked a pot of meat porridge, with steamed buns and two side dishes, and served it to Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu.
Due to the limited amount of food, Jiang Shu could only eat with Yu Zheng.
The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other without saying a word, and ate in silence.
After the meal, the team continued on the road and rushed to the next post station.
Jiang Shu lazily rested his head on the car window, admiring the scenery along the way.
Less than half a month later, the trees and grass on the roadside had become much more lush and green, with wild flowers of all colors blooming, and birds flying back and forth in the woods, stopping on the branches of the trees to sing happily.
Jiang Shu was watching intently, and Yu Zheng, who was in the carriage in front, also stuck his head out of the window.
So, in the scenery that Jiang Shu could see, there was another back of the head.
As he watched, Jiang Shu laughed out loud.
"What did the boss see that was interesting?" Tan Yu came over after hearing the voice.
Jiang Shu hurriedly put down the curtain and said, "Nothing."
Tan Yu didn't believe it, stretched her neck to look out, but didn't see anything.
Yu Zheng in front suddenly turned his head and looked back, just in time to see Tan Yu.
His dark eyes retracted in disappointment, Yu Zheng put down the curtain, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest.
The killer who had been following him these days could strike at any time, so he had to stay alert and be prepared.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu were unaware of this, and they relaxed and enjoyed the scenery and chatted.
Half a day passed quickly.
At night, Jiang Shu and Tan Yu took a bath and fell asleep in bed. Zhuiyun and Zhufeng took turns to keep watch outside, fully alert.
Nothing happened that night.
Zhuiyun and Zhufeng did not feel lucky, but became more vigilant.
The team walked for another day and entered a mountain range.
When the sun set in the west, the team was still far away from the post station, so they had to hurry up. As
the sky darkened, Zhuiyun and Zhufeng led the way into the forest.
After a day's journey, everyone was very tired and just wanted to get to the post station as soon as possible to rest.
"Swoosh, swoosh--" a rain of arrows suddenly shot through the air.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng quickly drew out his weapon to block it, and after reining in his horse, he said coldly: "There is an assassin, protect the master and Miss Jiang."
The guards received the order, drew out their swords and protected the carriage.
"Kill!" Shouts of killing arose, and a group of men in black jumped out of the silent forest, attacking with murderous intent.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu, who were dozing in the carriage, were awakened. They saw from the window that a dense crowd of men in black rushed over, and their attack was fierce.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng led a team of guards to protect the carriage, preventing the men in black from getting close.
However, the men in black were outnumbered, and seeing that they could not attack the carriage for a long time, they turned around and attacked the prisoner car.
At first Jiang Shu thought they were going to rob the prisoners, until she saw the black-clad man split the prison van and then stabbed the people in the prison van with his sword, then she realized they were going to kill people to silence them.
Just when Jiang Shu was worried that Zhao Renxian would be killed, Zhao Renxian in the prison van dodged the knife neatly, then broke the handcuffs with a strong struggle, pulled out a shiny knife from the bottom of the prison van, jumped out of the car and fought with the black-clad man.
What was going on? Jiang Shu was shocked.
With the precedent, Zhao Renxian's family members in other prison vans also broke the handcuffs, took out weapons from the bottom of the car, and fought with the black-clad man.
The men in black were even more shocked than Jiang Shu. They chopped open the wooden box containing the stolen money and found that it was filled with stones, not treasures at all.
"We've fallen into a trap. Retreat!" The leader shouted, trying to get away.
"Want to run? Dream on!" Zhuiyun and Zhufeng flew to stop the men in black, and each move was sharp and hit the vital points.
After guarding for two nights and being vigilant for two days and two nights, they finally showed up. How could they let them go?
"Kill!" Zhufeng shouted, and he became more and more courageous.
Seeing that they couldn't get away, the men in black attacked the carriage again, and some even shot cold arrows directly into the carriage.
"Swoosh!" The cold arrow penetrated the wall of the carriage and shot into the carriage. Yu Zheng dodged to the side, then flew out of the carriage, holding a long sword and fighting with the men in black.
Jiang Shu's guards were also struggling with the black-clothed men, and two of them fell down in a short while.
The master and servant hid in the car, extremely nervous and scared.
Suddenly, an arrow shot at Jiang Shu's carriage.
Yu Zheng saw it and quickly dealt with the black-clothed man who was fighting with him, and then flew over to cut off the arrow.
"Lie down and hide under the car, don't come out." Yu Zheng said in a deep voice close to the carriage.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu in the car heard this and hurriedly did as they were told.
There was a box seat at the bottom of the carriage, so arrows couldn't get in, and it was very safe.
Yu Zheng guarded the door and killed all the black-clothed men who tried to approach the carriage.
"Clang clang clang clang!" Jiang Shu and Tan Yu hid in the car, listening to the sound of swords clashing outside, and the screams and sounds of people falling to the ground one after another, and they were terrified.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of fighting outside stopped. Yu Zheng opened the car door and told Jiang Shu, "It's okay. Don't be afraid."
Jiang Shu got up from under the car upon hearing this, and got off the car tremblingly with Tan Yu.
In the dim sky, the prisoner car was chopped to pieces, with several feather arrows stuck in the carriage, and the ground was full of corpses and blood.
There were those of the men in black, Yu Zheng's guards, and Jiang Shu's guards. It was shocking to see.
The master and servant had never seen so many people fighting, let alone so many corpses, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
In addition to fear, there was more panic and dread.
Life is too fragile and it is gone in an instant.
Zhuiyun was counting, and Zhufeng was leading people to check the corpses, as naturally as picking firewood to cook at noon.
Jiang Shu understood that they must have experienced many life and death scenes to get used to it.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Yu Zheng saw Jiang Shu's fear and comforted him gently.
Jiang Shu turned his head to look at him and found that he was covering his arm.
"You are injured." Jiang Shu was shocked.
"It's a minor injury, it's not a big deal, just bandage it when we get to the post station." Yu Zheng didn't care.
Jiang Shu pursed his lips tightly, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms, and first gave Yu Zheng a simple bandage to stop the bleeding.
It was already dark at this time. Zhuiyun Zhufeng left a team behind to clean up the mess, and escorted Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu to the post station first.
Several guards and escorts were seriously injured and could not ride horses. Jiang Shu gave them her carriage, and she and Tan Yu went to Yu Zheng's carriage.
After the carriage started moving, Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng with confusion: "What's going on?"
