Chapter 89 The Joking Robber
An Xin, Qingfeng and Mingyue got on the carriage driven by Dazhuang. There was a wolf skin, cushions and pillows inside, so they could lie down and rest on the road.
An Rui and Leng Xiangbai got into another carriage, while their attendant Xiao Mai and the coachman sat in the front.
After saying goodbye to Uncle An and Aunt An, the carriage rumbled off to meet up with the others.
Come to the meeting place.
An Chu saw Li Ziyu and Zhu Shijing riding in a carriage, and looked from afar at An Xin who was lifting the curtain of the carriage.
The morning sunlight shone on her body, adding a mysterious halo to her, beautiful and sacred.
Jiang Zhou and Liu Boxing were riding on horses, and the two young men looked high-spirited.
When Liu Boxing came to Anxin's carriage, he grinned, showing his big white teeth, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Little Headmaster, you are here."
An Xin looked at the young man in a blue tight suit. His originally fat body had slowly become strong in the past few years. There was admiration in his eyes, and he felt as if his son had grown up.
Being ignored, Jiang Zhou stared at her and snorted.
An Xin looked at him again, raised an eyebrow and said teasingly: "Why does your tooth hurt?!"
Jiang Zhou raised his head proudly and looked at the sky.
Old Liu and Old Su were sitting in a carriage chatting. When they saw An Xin coming, they said, "The girls and the people are all here, so let's get going early."
An Xin looked at the rising sun and nodded, "Okay."
"Let's go, Xiaoshanzhang will take you to the capital."
Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou all raised their lips when they saw the bright smile on their headmaster's face.
An Rui had already jumped off the carriage and ran over to pull Jiang Zhou down. He then rode on the horse and galloped away with Liu Boxing.
Jiang Zhou walked over and sat in a carriage with Leng Xiangbai.
This group of people, including the dozen or so guards brought by the Liu family and servants from various families, totaled thirty or forty people, and they started on their journey in a mighty manner.
In the following days, they traveled during the day and stopped to stay overnight after dusk.
Sometimes General Liu refused to admit his old age and would go riding with An Rui and the others. They were blown by the cold wind on the road and only after Doctor Su prescribed a particularly bitter medicine did he calm down.
That day, An Xin was holding the white chess piece. Li Ziyu observed the overall situation on the chessboard before placing the black piece in his hand.
Leng Xiangbai sat next to the two of them and watched them play chess. Jiang Zhou leaned against a pillow beside him with his eyes narrowed.
An Rui and Liu Boxing couldn't squeeze in, so they had to ride their horses and look at them from the car window with grievance.
Qingfeng Mingyue was arranged to sit in another carriage.
Mingyue lay on the carriage window and looked at the scenery outside.
After An Xin discovered that Qingfeng had a talent for management, he intended to teach her how to read. At that time, Qingfeng was studying with a book.
*At this time in a mansion in the capital.
A middle-aged man was pacing back and forth in the study with a sullen look on his face.
When Cao Zhiqing saw the letter from his cousin in his hometown and learned that his adopted son had passed the provincial examination and won the first place, he was stunned for a moment.
After that, he thought about whether he could win over this son and use him for his own purposes.
But after reading the letter.
I found out that the boy didn't even acknowledge that he was a member of the Cao family.
From what his cousin Cao Zhishang said, it seemed that the boy not only refused to admit that he was a descendant of the Cao family, but also hated him as his father.
Cao Zhiqing knew better than anyone what he had done.
He knew that his son had passed the provincial examination and won the first place, which showed that his knowledge and intelligence were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If I cannot be of use to him, even if I pass the imperial examination in Beijing in the future, I will not only fail to be a help to my father, but may also become a stumbling block to myself.
This made Cao Zhiqing, who had no feelings for Li Ziyu as his son, think of the shame of being a son-in-law and wish he would die.
Now that woman is dead, if this evil son can also die, then no one will mention his past deeds anymore.
A vicious look flashed across Cao Zhiqing's eyes, and he called his trusted butler. Soon, the news that Li Ziyu was coming to the capital to take the imperial examination reached the ears of Cao's mistress, Mrs. Du.
So An Xin and his companions, who were about to reach the capital city with smooth sailing, met a group of robbers on the road, who started attacking them without saying a word.
When the gang of robbers seemed to target Li Ziyu and started hacking at him, An Xin, who was standing on the carriage, narrowed his eyes.
It seems that someone arranged for someone to inquire about their situation in advance, so as to know who their target this time is.
Just as An Xin guessed.
According to Li Ziyu's original destiny, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and he was not really killed accidentally by robbers. It should be that someone deliberately wanted to kill him.

Seeing the fierce fighting outside, General Liu felt itchy and said to Doctor Su, "I haven't stretched my old bones for a long time. I'm going out to play."
Doctor Su, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain and did not stop them. He just reminded them, "Be careful."
An Xin pushed Qingfeng Mingyue back as she was about to stick her head out, "If you don't want to be captured and become the wife of a bandit leader, then be obedient and don't come out."
Qingfeng Mingyue originally thought that it was unreasonable for them, as servants, to hide in the car while their master was outside, but after hearing An Xin's serious voice, they chose to listen to her first.
If there is danger, they will go out and stand in front of their master.
Li Ziyu and his six companions, as well as their servants, are either young and strong or have some martial arts experience.
Especially General Liu with his long sword, Liu Boxing with his red tasseled spear, and the Liu family guards, who are real martial artists.
I'm afraid the people who came didn't expect that An Xin and his gang were so good at fighting.
General Liu, who had led troops to the battlefield and seen blood, took the lead in killing people, and he really looked like he was still as skilled as ever.
His voice was like a bell, and he shouted sternly: "Hey, thief, where are you running? Take this from me."
The robbers saw this posture and thought, wow, they are all martial artists. The old man looked more ferocious than them, more like a murderous robber.
The leading robber cursed loudly: "Fuck him, the contact didn't tell me these people are so difficult to deal with. Whoever wants to take this business can do it. I won't do this business that will lose money."
Seeing that the situation was not good, I didn't know whether the robber leader was cowardly and afraid of death, or he really felt that the money given by the employer was too little.
After General Liu and his men chased them for two miles, they fled into the mountains, crying and shouting, with their remaining defeated troops.
An Xin, who was standing on the carriage, found it funny. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this robber leader was not a ruthless person, but more like an idiot.
The chaotic battle ended just like that, and no one was seriously injured.
Doctor Su came down and treated those with minor injuries, and everyone started on their way again.
On the road, some passers-by and small caravans saw them bravely fighting off the robbers and thought they were very powerful, so they followed them from a distance and headed north together.
General Liu had no objection to these situations, and An Xin didn't say anything either.
In this way, An Xin and his team led a long team to the capital city for the rest of the journey.
