Chapter 301 He knew that someone would be restless
After passing Li'an County, they passed through two small county towns.
Everything was quiet and nothing happened.
But something happened on the ninth day.
"Master, there really is someone with evil intentions who wants to assassinate you." Chuyi told the emperor the intelligence as soon as possible.
Lu Yanshi sneered.
He knew that there would definitely be people who would be restless.
Fortunately, Chujiu pretended to be him and walked towards the official road from the beginning, luring out those guys hiding in the dark with bad intentions.
"Write down the names of these people and send them back to the capital to be handled by Concubine Shu." He gave the order.
"Yes." Chuyi responded and asked someone to send the letter to the palace urgently.
It's time for the Empress Shufei to deal with those Xichang remnants who dared to assassinate the emperor.
"Grandpa, there is a fork in the road ahead. Which way do you think we should go?" As soon as Chuyi started walking, Meng Shanchuan came forward and asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
The map of Xichang was not very detailed. There was a fork in the road ahead, and the end of both sides was as far as the eye could see. He really couldn't decide which way to go.
"What do you think, Xiaojiu? Which way should we go?" Lu Yanshi lowered his head and asked his daughter.
"Let me think about it." Lu Li stroked his chin and pretended to think, but in fact he was using the melon-eating system to secretly see if there were any melons nearby that he could eat.
[Wow, there are so many melons at once, which one should I eat first? ]
Lu Li's eyes lit up and she read it with great interest.
[There is a group of bandits on the road to the left. They have set their sights on us and think we are good sirs to be slaughtered.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this boss is wearing a gold collar. ]
[This necklace is thicker than my wrist. It’s too expensive!!!]
Lu Li is ready to make a move.
【How about going left? 】
【Catch them and confiscate their gold and silver, and we won't have to worry about the travel expenses from now on. 】
[Hehehe, thank you to the uncles and aunts from Jinlong Village for sending the toll. 】
Lu Yanshi: ...
My dear daughter, why don't you tell us how many people there are on the other side and whether we can defeat them? Don't be paralyzed by the sight of the gold collar.
If there are many criminals, we can't handle them with just a few dozen people.
[Hey, Guagua, stop making noise. Is this melon big? Let me see.]
Lu Li was so annoyed by the melon-eating system that she could only click on another melon.
[Are these villagers crazy? They actually believed those lies and thought that throwing boys and girls into the river for sacrifice would make the river god bless them with good weather and good harvests.]
【A bunch of idiots.】
[They have killed more than a dozen children, and they still won't stop. ]
【They will hold a ceremony to worship the gods tomorrow.】
[No, I have to stop them, otherwise another innocent child will die.]
Lu Li was very angry.
"Father, let's go to the right. Maybe we can come across a village and stay there for a night." She decided to deal with the bad guys here first, and then rob the Golden Dragon Village.
Oh no, that can't be called robbery, that's called getting rid of harm for the people.
Lu Li convinced herself with confidence.
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaojiu." Lu Yanshi nodded with a smile.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
How many such ignorant and foolish things are happening beyond his reach?
"Let's go, turn right." He ordered.
Meng Shanchuan glanced at Lu Li, didn't say anything, and did as he was told.
Anyway, along the way, they listened to the emperor, and the emperor listened to the ninth princess.
Just listen to the Ninth Princess, you’ll be right!
…
Golden Dragon Village.
"Didn't they say that there would be a group of fat sheep passing by the foot of the mountain? Why didn't they come?" Zhang Facai, the third in command, looked at his men with dissatisfaction.
They started keeping an eye on Lu Yanshi and his group from Cuiliu County.
Those are a group of fat sheep, and they seem to be very rich.
Kill them and you can enjoy yourself until the New Year.
Who would have thought that the group of people would not go towards Ma'anshan, and their robbery plan failed.
"I've already made the road on the right full of bumps and potholes, but who knew they would still go that way." The bandit Xiao Liuzi who was exploring the way felt very aggrieved.
"What's the use of having you? If they don't come this way, how can we rob them?" Zhang Facai was full of anger.
"Alright, it's just a small matter. Why are you so anxious?" The second in command, Wan Mingliu, took a sip of tea calmly.
"It's okay for them to go to Hejia Village first. Once they come out, I will have a way to get them to Ma'anshan."
"Second brother, what are you going to do?" Zhang Facai looked at him eagerly.
Among the three leaders of the Golden Dragon Village, the second one is the smartest.
His idea will definitely work.
Wan Mingliu waved at him, signaling him to move his head over.
The two of them whispered to each other for a long time, and Zhang Facai looked at him with admiration: "Okay, I'll listen to you, this will definitely work!"
…
Lu Li didn't know what the people from Jinlong Village were planning yet.
Because she was being targeted.
The melon-eating system reminded her that someone wanted to use her as a sacrifice to the river god!
[This grandma, you really know how to repay kindness with enmity. ]
After reading this, Lu Li was completely speechless.
They entered Hejia Village, but because there were too many people, there were simply not enough houses for them to live in.
So they had no choice but to disperse.
Her father took her and her second sister to live in the village chief's house. After all, the village chief's house was the richest place in the village.
The children who would participate in the sacrifices in Hejia Village were chosen by drawing lots.
The ones caught this year were the village chief's family.
They were extremely reluctant to send their granddaughter He Huihui to be sacrificed.
After all, that was the only bloodline of their deceased youngest son.
So the village chief's wife He Guihua started to keep an eye on her.
[My father gave you one or two taels of silver, and you actually want to use me as a sacrifice to the river god.]
【Isn't this a bit too much?】
Lu Li looked angrily at He Guihua who brought out a large plate of meat.
Lu Yanshi and Lu Qi heard her thoughts and stared at the old woman in front of them with expressionless faces.
He Guihua's heart skipped a beat.
Won't these outsiders notice it?
She tried to force a good-natured smile.
"Take your time to eat, this is the chicken we raised ourselves, it's delicious."
"And these bamboo shoots were just dug from the hills behind this morning. They are very fresh. Come and try them."
"Well, you go out now. We're having our meal and don't need anyone to serve us." Lu Yanshi said to drive him away.
"Okay, okay. Please enjoy your meal, distinguished guests." He Guihua smiled, closed the door and walked out.
"Daddy, Second Sister, you can't eat this." Seeing her leave, Lu Li hurriedly lowered her voice to stop the two people who wanted to pick up their chopsticks.
"Oh? But there's something wrong with the food?" Lu Yanshi asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Lu Li nodded.
"They put a drug in it that makes you sleep. After taking it, you won't wake up until tomorrow night," she emphasized seriously.
"Okay, then let's listen to Xiaojiu and not eat it." Lu Yanshi touched her head.
They brought some dry food with them, which was enough to last them the night.
It's a pity to slaughter the chicken right away.
"But we still have to pretend to be asleep!" Lu Li sighed.
She's just a baby, why do you have so much to worry about?
Even though the old lady had plotted against her, she still had to go.
We can't let innocent children die.
It was a good opportunity to let her go to the river and see what was playing tricks on her.
