Chapter 505 The Two Sides Meet
The Lu family members were all startled and immediately stopped their discussion.
"Why is a car following us? Is it a robbery, or... or is it after Ayu?" Lu Erbai looked outside with worry.
Before he could even peek out, the bodyguard called him back, "Don't stick your head out. I need to hurry and see if they're coming for us or if they just happen to be going the same way as us."
"Okay." The Lu family members immediately clung to the side of the carriage, not daring to move an inch.
The two镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) were skilled at driving the carriage, but due to the uneven road surface and the large number of people in the carriage, they were afraid of overturning, so they were inevitably constrained and could only drive as fast as they could.
When Zhao Xi saw that they had sped up, he immediately became anxious.
If they went any further, they would run into the exiled caravan.
Meng Yunzheng frowned, sat directly on the carriage shaft, took the reins from Zhao Xi, and shouted "Giddy up!"
He was clearly more skilled than Zhao Xi, and since there were only two of them, they quickly closed the distance to the mule cart in front of them.
However, this confirmed that the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) ahead of them had identified their target as their group.
The mounted bodyguard said with a solemn expression, "You all continue forward, I'll go and find out their purpose from behind."
Lu Erbai hurriedly said, "Be careful."
The bodyguard suddenly turned his horse around and galloped towards Meng Yunzheng.
As they got closer, he pulled on the reins, intending to greet them with a fist and palm salute.
Before he could even raise his fist, Meng Yunzheng skillfully maneuvered past him on the narrow road and continued catching up with the Lu family.
The bodyguard, "..."
That would be a breach of martial ethics.
He quickly mounted his horse and caught up with the mule cart, which was now very close.
Zhao Xi could no longer contain himself and shouted loudly, "Excuse me, is that Uncle Lu up ahead?"
The voice was so loud that the bodyguards chasing behind heard it, and the Lu family members in front also vaguely heard it.
Lu Erbai frowned. "Why does it sound like they don't mean any harm to me?"
The old woman hesitated, "But why are they chasing us in this desolate wilderness?"
Da Ya was the bolder one. She secretly peeked out through the curtain. At such close range, she immediately spotted the two people sitting in the other carriage. Her eyes widened and she gasped. She urgently shouted to the guards driving the carriage, "Stop! Stop the carriage!"
"Da Ya, what are you doing?" The old lady frowned.
Daya quickly said, "Grandma, it's Young Master Meng and the others. Young Master Meng and Doctor Zhao are in the carriage behind."
Upon hearing this, the Lu family members were all startled and quickly called for the car to stop.
The bodyguard let out a "whoosh," and the carriage finally stopped. The Lu family members didn't even bother to get out of the carriage; they immediately stuck their heads out to look behind them and, sure enough, saw two familiar faces.
Meng Yunzheng also pulled on the reins, the carriage stopped, and the two jumped down from the carriage and walked a few steps to the mule cart.
The Lu family members then emerged one after another. The tense and exciting escape had left both the bodyguards and the Lu family members drenched in sweat.
At this moment, the Lu family members all breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Yunzheng watched them get off the car, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily. Well, one, two, three, four, five, six, young and old, really not one was missing, they were all there.
He stepped forward and asked in surprise, "Uncle Lu, what are you doing here?"
