Chapter 54: Bandits
I didn’t end up eating the rabbit meat hotpot, mainly because this was not my previous life and many of the seasonings were not available.
The most important thing is that there is no hot pot base.
There is no other way, you can only make the hot pot base first, and then gather the seasonings before you can eat the hot pot.
Fortunately, Xu Tian said that if nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to reach Wen County tomorrow. Although the exile team will not enter the county town, the yamen runners will go back to buy supplies and submit documents to the county government.
They can also take this opportunity to go into the city with Xu Tian and stock up on some supplies.
For example, buy more good grain seeds, vegetable seeds, and even some food. Anyway, the space has the ability to keep food fresh, so the delicious beef noodles they bought will not get cold.
When the time comes, I will buy some delicious food to eat on the road.
By the way, the most important thing is the seasoning. Whether it is hot pot seasoning or barbecue seasoning, try to get them all together.
In this way, you can eat hot pot on the road.
Anyway, take this opportunity to make up for what is missing.
Although I didn’t get to eat rabbit hotpot, the braised rabbit meat was also good, especially since Xiaodie’s cooking skills were amazing!
No words were spoken that night.
Everyone was still woken up early by the yamen runners and hurried on their way in a daze.
Ever since Chen Xue brought her parents into the space last time, they would hide in the space to eat any food with a strong smell.
Things like cakes that didn't taste very good were eaten directly in the carriage.
Now the shackles on them have been taken off. They are sitting in the carriage. There is a small table in the middle with a teapot on it and a plate of cakes next to it. Chen Xue and Xiaodie are playing chess.
If you didn't lift the curtain and only looked at Chen Xue's family in the carriage, you would never guess that they were in exile.
"Dad, how about we play Gobang?"
After losing ten games, Chen Xue didn't want to break up with Xiaodie anymore and planned to bully her father, which would be more interesting.
"Ahem!" Lord Chen immediately turned around and walked outside. "Something seems to be happening outside. I'll go check it out."
Chen Xue: “…”
"Girl, how about I give way to you again!"
Xiaodie asked in a low voice. Although she had tried her best to let the opponent win, she still won without realizing it.
"No need." Chen Xue's mouth twitched. If I am left alone, I will be three chess pieces. Isn't this the same as her father?
…………
A group of people emerged from the woods hundreds of miles away from Chen Xue and others. They were the bandits that Chen Xue saw using Xiaoqing's body last night.
"Brother Hei, where are we going?" A bandit looked at the 1.8-meter-tall bandit, who was their boss.
Brother Hei looked at another subordinate, who quickly handed him a scroll. When he opened it, the person on it turned out to be Lord Chen.
"Once we accomplish this goal, we won't have to hide from people anymore!"
"Can that man really help us solve this problem?" the bandit nearby asked worriedly, "We're attacking a group of exiles, and the one chasing us is General Pingwei!"
In the Kingdom of Dayue, there was no one who had not heard of the name of General Pingwei, even though he was only twenty years old and had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony.
General Pingwei, surnamed Xie, named Yunshang.
The Xie family has been generals for generations. His father, Pingyuan Hou, once led troops to destroy the Jie Kingdom, intimidating foreign tribes in the north and bringing stability to the north.
This time his father was transferred back to the capital, so his son, Xie Yunshang, led the troops to garrison the border.
However, when the Xiongnu heard that General Xie had left the border, they marched south to invade the Dayue Kingdom. However, at that time, they only sent 50,000 troops to test the situation.
Although General Xie was away and some of the border guards were in a panic, Xie Yunshang remained calm. He even took the initiative to attack with 10,000 soldiers and defeated the Huns with a record of 10,000 defeating 50,000.
After that, he repeatedly blocked the invasion of the Huns, and even when the Huns joined forces with the small foreign country of Xiaomo to attack, he was defeated by Xie Yunshang.
Xie Yunshang even sent troops to attack the Xiaomo Kingdom and destroyed it, forcing the Huns to withdraw from the border.
Xie Yunshang also became famous because of this battle. Because he guarded the border, repelled the Huns, destroyed the Xiaomo Kingdom that invaded the Dayue Kingdom, and intimidated foreign tribes, he was named General Pingwei by the court.
However, this time, for some unknown reason, General Pingwei actually left the border and began to lead troops to suppress bandits.
Brother Hei, also known as Liu Heiwu and others were the targets of General Pingwei. Although they were arrogant and cruel, they still backed down in front of the famous General Pingwei.
However, if someone comes to them and asks them to help with something, they will find a way to help them solve the problem of being hunted.
And this incident was the killing of a person in the exile team - Chen Yuan.
If there is a chance, kill all the members of the Chen family.
That's their mission.
When it comes to killing people, this task couldn't be simpler.
Even if they were to attack the exile team, they didn't care at all. They had attacked the county government office before and continued to rob people with the same vigor.
"We are worried that the man will change his mind and even sell us out!" the bandit next to him said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know who is behind them. If they dare to stand us up, we will beat them up." Brother Hei said arrogantly.
He actually guessed that the man was a high-ranking official in the capital, but so what? If he offended Liu Heiwu, no matter who he was, even if he was the king, it would be useless.
Anyway, the exiled team has a lot of silver, so they can rob a lot of money, kill the target of the mission, and let others help them solve the problem. It's really killing two birds with one stone, no, three birds with one stone.
"According to that person's intelligence, the exile team is taking the official road. If nothing unexpected happens, they should reach Wen County. We will ambush here. After they leave Wen County, they will pass by this location."
Brother Hei was obviously very familiar with the surroundings and drew a simple map on the ground with a branch.
Naturally, the others had no objection. After going around the forest, they would reach the official road.
"Da da da!"
As soon as a few people appeared not far from the official road, they saw a carriage coming. Everyone stared at it and showed bloodthirsty expressions.
"Boss, just a carriage!"
Hei Ge licked his lips and grinned, "Come on, it's his bad luck to run into us!"
Several bandits rushed directly onto the official road and stood in the middle of the road. When the driver of the carriage saw this scene, he subconsciously tightened the reins to avoid hitting anyone.
"You, who are you? What do you want to do?" The driver seemed to realize that the people blocking the road had bad intentions, and his voice trembled a little.
The bandits sneered and didn't answer at all. They rushed forward, pulled the driver down, and chopped him down with their swords.
The poor driver didn't even have time to shout for help before he was killed by the bandits.
"Uncle Zhang, what's going on?"
The people in the carriage heard the noise and opened the curtain, revealing a middle-aged man and the woman who was already lying in the carriage.
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat when he saw a group of people holding knives surrounding the carriage. Then he caught a glimpse of a pool of blood on the ground and the coachman lying unconscious on the ground.
"Uncle Zhang, you guys..."
He didn't understand that he had encountered bandits.
"My dear friends, my wife is seriously ill and needs medical help in the capital. I beg you to show some mercy."
The bandits looked at each other and tore off the curtain, revealing the woman inside. Although the woman was pale, it could not hide her beautiful appearance.
The bandits' eyes suddenly lit up and showed greed.
“Hehehe!”
