Chapter 212 Deception
"ah!"
As the carriage shook violently, the stove opened and burning firewood flew out, heading straight for Jiang Yuzhu's face.
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu grabbed the tablecloth on the small table to block the fire. Fortunately, the match fire was very weak and was quickly extinguished after being poured with tea.
"What's going on?"
The carriage was tilted at an angle, and Shen Zhilan hurriedly knocked on the wall and asked the driver.
"Madam, we encountered a ground collapse, and half of the carriage was stuck in the collapse."
The driver was also frightened and quickly jumped out of the car with a lantern to check.
I saw that half of the carriage was stuck in a deep pit, stuck tightly and not moving at all.
The driver and the women who got off the carriage struggled together for a while but could not lift it up even a little bit. They could only say sadly: "Madam, this carriage cannot be used for the time being."
Shen Zhilan was also very worried. Her side had three carriages, but the other two carriages were too crowded and were left far behind.
There was no one around in the wilderness, and it was dangerous to leave anyone in the carriage, so Shen Zhilan had to wait outside with Jiang Yuzhu and others.
Wait until the other two carriages arrive, then find a way to squeeze in.
Shen Zhilan was distracted by the next arrangements when she saw Mo Yan staring at the driver with wide eyes and asked in surprise: "You are not the driver Liu Bo, who are you?"
This one sentence drew Shen Zhilan's attention back, and she was shocked.
Liu Bo followed Mo Changchuan early on. After being seriously injured on the battlefield that year, he was unable to return to the camp in the north of the city because of his lameness.
After retiring, Liu Bo had nowhere to go, so he worked as a coachman in the Mo family and watched Mo Yan grow up.
Although the man in front of him was similar in stature and voice to Liu Bo, he was not lame!
When the driver pretended to pry the carriage just now, Mo Yan realized that something was wrong, and his hair stood on end when he thought about it carefully!
The driver took off his hat, revealing a scarred face. The annoyance in his eyes turned into sinisterness. He flew forward and grabbed Mo Yan's neck, seemingly using great strength.
"Ahem, let...let me go!"
Mo Yan's face first turned pale, then red, her eyeballs bulged out, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, and the few words that came out from between her eyes were particularly hoarse.
In front of Scarface, her strength is not worth mentioning at all.
Faced with the sudden change, Shen Zhilan was also stunned.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her aching brows and asked calmly, "Don't mess around. What do you want?"
The coachman replaced Liu Bo. It seemed that the roadblocks were set up in advance and they were well prepared.
Jiang Yuzhu speculated that the Mo family, the driver's target, should have nothing to do with her.
After all, the driver could not predict that Jiang Yuzhu would arrive in Beidi today, and coincidentally follow Shen Zhilan to the outside of the city.
It was another familiar recipe. Jiang Yuzhu had accumulated enough experience with it.
When you encounter difficulties, don't panic. Try to make jokes and delay time. Take the opportunity to assess the opponent's strength and observe the surrounding terrain.
There was an open space outside the city and no reinforcements, but it was not without its advantages. The coachman was alone and did not take women seriously.
"What do you want? I want your lives!"
The driver stared at Jiang Yuzhu and suddenly laughed crazily, "It's really easy to get it! Jiang Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to be here!"
Jiang Yuzhu touched her nose and asked uncertainly, "Why, is there something else about this lady?"
"You are about to die, but you are still acting like the wife of a second-rank official?"
The scarred driver sneered and spat, "Your two maids who are good at fighting, Hongxiu and Hongjin, are not in the carriage. You brought the most useless Hongli with you. You deserve this bad luck!"
Jiang Yuzhu smiled coldly, it turned out that she was also Scarface's target.
But is she really as stupid as Scarface thinks?
As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. Ever since being abducted by the man in purple, Jiang Yuzhu must have been accompanied by someone who knows kung fu.
This time when she took Hong Jin out, she deliberately called her name wrong, just to test the reactions of the people around her.
There was no news from her second brother Jiang Huaiqing, and there was a traitor hidden in the Mo family, so Jiang Yuzhu was on guard.
She trusts her subordinates but not outsiders.
Just a casual trick and a fish really took the bait.
"Even if we die, we must be clear-headed. Who sent you?"
Jiang Yuzhu leaned against Hong Jin, planning to find the right opportunity to rescue Mo Yan first.
Mo Yan is a girl with sharp intuition and some brains, but not much.
If the news was revealed to her first, Jiang Yuzhu could ensure that she would not be passive and would not be led by the other party.
Shen Zhilan glanced at Hong Jin and admired her cousin Jiang Yuzhu even more. However, she couldn't show her calmness at this moment to avoid suspicion, so she trembled and said, "You... who are you, where is Uncle Liu?"
"Uncle Liu has already passed away. I have spent several years getting closer, just waiting for an opportunity!"
Scarface looked smug, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
As long as Mo Yan and Shen Zhilan are killed, the Mo family will be shaken.
Mo Changchuan had saved his life before, so let him bear the pain of losing his daughter first. When all the members of the Mo family die in front of Mo Changchuan one by one, see if he will go crazy!
"As for Jiang Yuzhu, you came to my door. You were disrespectful to my master, you should have died long ago!"
The coachman hated Jiang Yuzhu so much. It was this fickle woman who caused his master to get injured many times!
If the master doesn't kill her, even they can't stand it!
Everyone discussed privately that Jiang Yuzhu would be a disaster if she were alive, and for the sake of their master's cause, she could not be allowed to stay and must be eliminated!
"Who is your master? I am a lady in the capital, and I don't even take the Xuan family seriously. Why should I be respectful to your master?"
Jiang Yuzhu thought about it over and over again, and it seemed that she was not that respectful to anyone.
But when asked further, Scarface refused to speak.
"Does your master know what you have done? Aren't you afraid of being punished by him?"
This person did not recognize the maidservants around Jiang Yuzhu, and could not tell the difference between Hongli and Hongjin. He must have stayed in the north all year round.
If he wanted to kill her, it was most likely his own decision.
As expected, under Jiang Yuzhu's repeated questioning, Scarface got tired of it and said angrily, "Jiang Yuzhu, you repeatedly hurt my master, you deserve to die!"
Scarface was furious. He pushed Mo Yan away and ran towards Jiang Yuzhu with a dagger in hand.
"repeatedly?"
Jiang Yuzhu consciously took a step back and calmly sent Hong Jin forward to fight.
She betrayed Scarface’s master, could it be... Lu Yunxi?
Jiang Yuzhu seemed to have discovered a big secret and was sure that there were many things she didn't know.
Not far away, Scarface and Hongjin were fighting. After a few rounds, Scarface realized that he had been deceived and snorted angrily, "You are not Hongli, who are you?"
Hongli is a chatterbox beside Jiang Yuzhu and doesn't know any martial arts. Even if she has learned a few moves, she won't be as strong as the maid in front of her!
Jiang Yuzhu clearly called the maid Hongli, could it be...
"Damn, Jiang Yuzhu is such a smart woman!"
What a good opportunity! Scarface was about to kill all the women in the family, but a martial artist suddenly appeared.
What’s even more infuriating is that he is no match for his opponent.
Realizing that he had been deceived, Scarface felt upset and swallowed a mouthful of blood silently.
