Old Lady Niu, who was driving the carriage, pulled the reins and looked up the mountain following Cuixiang's hand.
"Are they little colorful flags?"
Old Madam Niu frowned, squinted her eyes and looked hard towards the mountain.
However, her eyes couldn't see clearly and she could only see scattered colors dancing.
Green Bamboo, who was sitting in the carriage carrying the grain, poked his head out and looked towards the mountain curiously.
"Wow~ The colorful flags are quite beautiful."
"That's not a flag, it looks like colorful little people walking down the mountain."
Cuixiang has better eyesight, and she can vaguely see what looks like a human figure moving.
"She's wearing colorful clothes, and they look really good." Lu Zhu exclaimed enviously.
Young girls have no resistance to these bright and beautiful colors.
"Madam, please go and take a look. I've never seen such a bright color."
Cuixiang pouted and looked at Old Madam Niu coquettishly.
If they drove their carriage slower, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they could just see the colorful ball coming down.
She had never seen such bright colors in the cloth shop and was so curious.
Madam Niu frowned slightly and said, "Just take a look from a distance. Don't come too close. Don't forget your status. Be careful."
This place is remote, and I don't think there will be any officials or anything like that, so just take a look.
Normally in the village, they never leave the house. The two girls stay in the house every day and are very anxious.
She wants to live alone, but also wants someone to serve her...
"Don't worry, old lady. I will be watching from the carriage and will definitely not go near."
When Cuixiang heard what Mrs. Niu meant, she knew that she would be asked to take a look, so she immediately smiled with her eyes curved and nodded vigorously.
When Luzhu heard this, she didn't go back into the carriage. Instead, she lifted the curtain, stuck her head out and stared at the mountain in surprise.
......
"Brother Jiang, we've spotted all sorts of strangely dressed foreigners on the mountain, heading down. Should we arrest them all?"
After the reconnaissance guard discovered this special situation, he immediately reported it to Jiang Xu.
This kind of clothes looks quite convenient for walking, but I don’t know which country they are from.
Jiang Xu, who was dozing with his eyes squinted, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Foreigners?"
"Which country is it from?"
Jiang Xu was extremely annoyed. Instead of waiting for the Xiao family members to come, he waited for a foreigner. Why were there so many problems?
He would rather there was nothing on the mountain, so he could just guard it for two days and then return to Beijing.
At this moment, he was extremely envious of those who followed Zhao Cheng back to Beijing.
Unfortunately, Zhao Cheng did not bring him back to Beijing, but instead brought Sang Dasheng back to report the situation.
He also wanted to go back to the capital. It was hard and tiring to stay here, and his head was hanging on his belt and could be taken away at any time.
It was said that all the Xiao family members were eaten by wild beasts, but Zhao Cheng didn't believe it and asked him to take fifty brothers to defend the foot of the mountain.
The reconnaissance guard shook his head. "I can't tell. This costume is very strange. None of us have ever seen it before."
The guards who were in charge of reconnaissance with him talked to each other and none of them had ever seen such strange clothes.
Jiang Xu frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and took two steps towards the foot of the mountain.
He looked up at the various colors moving downwards, feeling confused.
How come foreigners suddenly appeared on the mountain?
They searched inch by inch in the mountains for the Xiao family and never saw these outsiders at all.
But judging from the situation, these foreigners might have come up the mountain later, after all, they were two days behind them.
After a moment, "Come here."
Jiang Xu casually summoned a guard and instructed him,
"Ride back to the capital immediately and report this to Lord Zhao. Foreigners wearing all kinds of strange clothes have appeared on the mountain. This is not a good sign."
"We will do our best to intercept them. Lord Zhao, please send support as soon as possible..."
It would be better to ask for more people. Even if he were given fifty people to guard the foot of the mountain, there would be no way for them to take turns.
He was so thirsty from the sun every day that all the palace guards were almost darker than Emperor Wu of Liang.
"yes!"
The imperial guard who was called out was delighted, jumped on his horse swiftly, flicked his whip, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Jiang Xu looked at the guards who were riding their horses at full speed after receiving the order, his eyes full of envy.
Unfortunately, he couldn't send himself back.
The reconnaissance guard asked solemnly,
"Brother Jiang, should we get the archers ready now and have the brothers intercept with all their strength?"
Jiang Xu turned around and rolled his eyes at the reconnaissance guard. "Have you forgotten your mission?"
The reconnaissance guard was stunned and blinked at Jiang Xu, not understanding what he meant for a moment.
Is this interception or not? Can't you just give me a definite answer?
Jiang Xu looked up at the colorful moving figures that were getting closer and closer. "Our mission is to guard the Xiao family. What do outsiders have to do with us?"
Who knows what special abilities the foreigners have? What if we can’t defeat them in a fight?
"Then just let them go?"
"Let those few people go and intercept them, and the others stay where they are."
Jiang Xu pointed to the five guards standing in a row on the right, his eyes flashing slightly.
These bastards are always clamoring to see who can kill more private soldiers of the Xiao family. If you have the energy, let them use it.
He had been annoyed with these people for a long time. They had no skills at all and were just boastful.
They always go against him. It would be best if they were all dead to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation.
The scout nodded and immediately walked over to give instructions to the guards.
Jiang Xu looked at the guards who were excitedly heading up the mountain with swords in hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
........
Every member of the Xiao family held a cup of Fat House Happy Water and walked down the mountain while drinking.
The two mountains behind were bald by the imperial guards, making the road much easier to walk on, and they walked much faster.
After Lin Yiran ate the tiger meat, she completely let herself go.
All kinds of snacks and colas were thrown towards Xiao Yunzhan.
She enjoyed the meal, but the Xiao family members were all nervous.
Except for the two silly kids who were happily eating with Lin Yiran, everyone else was very nervous.
The third sister-in-law was the most confused. Looking at these foods she had never seen before, and then looking at Lin Yiran who knew how to eat everything, she was struggling in her heart.
On the one hand, she suspected that Lin Yiran had some connection with the gods, but on the other hand, she couldn't believe that the gods would have any intersection with mortals.
But she didn't dare to communicate with other people, for fear of scaring her family, so she could only observe Lin Yiran secretly.
Xiao Yunzhan finished the Coke in his hand in two gulps, raised his sword and said to everyone with a serious expression,
"Everyone be careful, there's an ambush at the foot of the mountain."
