The guards of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion were embarrassed. "Young Marquis, you stopped us from taking Miss Liu San back to the capital. If something happens to the Imperial Concubine, and she is blamed, can you bear the consequences?"
Gu Yun sneered, "Consequences? You bastard, you think I grew up being frightened?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Yun had already drawn the soft sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the forehead of the leading guard. More than a dozen followers behind him also drew their swords like Gu Yun and surrounded the people from the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
In comparison, the people from the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion seemed weaker. The leader knew that if they started fighting, they might not be able to take the people away, and they might lose a few people. He turned his eyes to the carriage behind and begged loudly, "We have no intention of disrespecting Young Marquis Gu and Miss Liu San, but if we can't do the job assigned by the Imperial Concubine well, we will be punished when we return. Miss Liu San, please have mercy on us."
"Shut up!" Gu Yun was furious when he heard this. He thrust his sword horizontally, leaving a bloody mark between the man's eyebrows. "Since you are afraid of punishment, why don't I take your worthless life now!"
The guard saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes and subconsciously closed his eyes. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and felt a burning pain between his eyebrows. He dared not to play any tricks anymore.
Yu Jiao listened to the guard and lifted the car curtain.
Liu Yaozhen stopped her, "Third sister..."
Yu Jiao gave her a reassuring look and said to the leading guard of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion who was riding on a horse, "Please go back. I am not a doctor in the pharmacy, and I am not as skilled as the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. If you are afraid of being punished, just say that you didn't catch up with me. If you continue to pester me, don't blame us for being rude."
The guard originally thought that Yu Jiao was a young lady and a doctor, so she would be easily soft-hearted. However, he did not expect that she was not so easy to fool.
He choked suddenly. Neither the hard way nor the soft way worked. He really had no idea what to do.
"Get out of here!" Gu Yun frowned and shouted coldly.
Seeing that the people behind Gu Yun were about to take action, the guards leading the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion had no choice but to compromise and signaled the people behind him to make way.
Gu Yun put away his soft sword and watched Liu Zhen and the convoy set off again. After the carriage had gone a little further, he was filled with anger and warned in a cold tone, "Go back to the capital and tell Jingyuan Bo not to have any evil ideas, otherwise the next time he sees you, he will have your heads on his neck!"
After saying this, Gu Yun tightened his grip on his horse and quickly caught up with the convoy.
In the woods nearby, several dark figures were hanging on the treetops. One of them said, "Do it."
"Boss, the governor only said to protect Miss Liu San when necessary. Miss Liu San's life is not in danger right now." Someone asked in confusion.
The man who was called the boss cursed, "Idiot! The governor was so angry with Miss Liu San that he was reluctant to punish her, and even sent a few of us out of the capital to secretly protect Miss Liu San! Let me ask you, if someone else dared to contradict the governor and angered him, what would happen?"
The man shuddered and answered honestly, "The skull should have been sent to be made into bone china..."
These people were all servants of the Eastern Depot, sent by Xia Ning to protect Yu Jiao. They arrived at the inn half a day ago and had been hiding in the dark.
The leading guard said, "That's why I called you stupid. Miss Liu San has angered the governor, and the governor is not happy but can't bear to vent his anger. These people are blocking the way to make Miss Liu San unhappy. Should we take action? Miss Liu San is the governor's adopted daughter, and she is the young mistress of our East Factory. When has the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion ever bullied our young mistress?"
After these words were spoken, several people beside him said in unison, "Boss is right! We need to teach them a lesson!"
"What is this? They are almost disappearing. Hurry up!" As soon as this person gave the order, several people suddenly became like ghosts and pounced on the team that was commuting to the Earl's Mansion.
Poor people sent by the Earl's Mansion, they were beaten up by several thieves who suddenly jumped out of the woods before they could complete their mission. Not only were they almost stripped naked, but all the horses they were riding were also stolen.
