Chapter 340 I will go to the Imperial City of Kyoto on a certain day to file a complaint against him!
Under the threat of life and death, the piled-up boulders blocking the road were no longer a threat, and a path was soon cleared for the carriage to pass.
Xu Yu glanced at those people who had escaped death and looked panicked, and said nothing. He just ordered Song Liu and Ling Chu to follow on horseback from behind, and he drove in front himself.
Following a whistle, a person appeared in the dense forest and shot a crossbow to rescue the people. He did not leave any trace from beginning to end. He came without any sound and disappeared silently.
Sang Zhixia probably guessed the origin of these crossbows and whispered as she sat beside the carriage, "Didn't you say you only brought two people?"
"That's just for fun."
Xu Yu imitated her and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, there won't be so many people when there's nothing going on."
Xu Yu pointed to the whistle that was hanging on Sang Zhixia's wrist before they set out and said, "If you hear the whistle, you can move. If you need anything, blow it and someone will come out."
It was a rare opportunity for Xu Yu to take Sang Zhixia on a long trip to relax, and he didn't want to be disturbed by too many people, nor did he want to ruin Sang Zhixia's mood.
But when you are out, safety still comes first.
So even though he was sure that he would not leave Sang Zhixia alone, Xu Yu made sufficient preparations and secretly left behind a backup plan that might be useful.
Sang Zhixia didn't expect that such an ordinary whistle could have such a use. He flicked his fingers and laughed softly.
As he spoke, the pungent smell of blood disappeared from the wind. Sang Zhixia subconsciously looked back and found that all the people who had survived the chaos were crawling towards him, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Just let them follow like this?"
“They dared not to follow.”
Xu Yu whipped the carriage faster and said calmly, "In the wilderness, the strong smell of blood will attract wild beasts. If they don't follow us to where there are people, they won't survive until dawn."
Xu Yu was too lazy to care about these people trying to use him as a shield to resist the bandits. With such grudges before, it was impossible for him to be so kind as to lend a helping hand.
Those who can keep up and run this distance will survive, and those who can't will just consider themselves unlucky and deserve to die.
Sang Zhixia thought of the commotion these people made at the critical moment, curled her lips and said nothing, but just silently wrapped her cloak tightly around her body.
Noticing the weariness in her eyes, Xu Yu softened his voice and said, "We'll be there in a little while."
"Go into the car and take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Sang Zhixia didn't remember when she fell asleep.
I was already tired from the journey, and then I got frightened for no reason. I fell into a deep sleep and didn't even know what day it was.
When Sang Zhixia opened her eyes, she was no longer in the carriage.
The doors and windows were not exquisite, but there was a small dining table and a few stools in the room. It was quiet outside the door and no sound of people talking could be heard. It seemed as if the thrilling moments of last night were all illusions in a dream, and nothing was left when he woke up.
Sang Zhixia glanced at the sunlight coming in through the window, judged the time, stood up, packed herself up, and pushed the door open to go out.
Song Liu was standing outside the door. When he saw Sang Zhixia coming out, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Boss."
Sang Zhixia looked around the inn and asked curiously, "What is this place?"
"This is Qingyang County."
Song Liu lowered his head and said, "Last night, following the young master's instructions, we advanced a little further and entered Qingyang County at dawn this morning."
Xu Yu had his own considerations.
The original destination was a small town, which was too close to the bandits' lair.
If something unexpected happens again, it will be difficult to respond in the small town, so it is better to go directly to the county town for convenience.
Sang Zhixia was half asleep and had no idea when Xu Yu carried her into the inn. After hearing this, she hummed and was surprised not to see Xu Yu. "Where are the others?"
Song Liu's face flashed with difficulty, and he whispered: "If the boss has nothing to do now, why don't you go down and take a look?"
Sang Zhixia blinked in confusion.
Song Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master seems to have encountered a difficult person. You might be able to help him out if you go there."
A flash of light flashed in Sang Zhixia's mind, and Fu Lin's mind suddenly came to him: "Is it the scholar from last night?"
Is that person really not right?
Led by Song Liu, Sang Zhixia walked around the aisle and immediately found that the atmosphere in the inn was not right.
Through the walkway and windows, you can see the street outside, where there are many people coming and going.
But there were not many people in the huge inn, it was unusually deserted.
Sang Zhixia calmly shifted her gaze away, and seeing the shopkeeper standing stiffly behind the counter and the clerk who dared not move, the corners of her lips silently turned down.
This doesn't seem like something Xu Yu would do.
Perhaps noticing Sang Zhixia's silence, Song Liu said softly, "Young Master had no choice but to do this."
"Boss, you'll know when you meet that person."
That one?
Sang Zhixia became suspicious and walked to the backyard, where she saw two men in black standing at the door, one on each side.
Sang Zhixia paused slightly and said with a smile, "Is it inconvenient for me to go in?"
"What are you talking about?"
One of the men in black smiled and turned sideways to Sang Zhixia, making a gesture of invitation and saying politely, "The young master has instructed that you, as a distinguished guest, must not be neglected."
"It doesn't matter where you want to go, it's possible."
This person's unexpected courtesy made Sang Zhixia feel uneasy. Just as she was hesitating, she heard Xu Yu's voice: "Zhizhi?"
Xu Yu's face didn't look good. He walked out quickly and pulled Sang Zhixia to his side. His eyes were deep. "Jiang Yubai, what do you mean by this?"
"Oh, what you said is really hurtful."
The scholar named Jiang Yubai came out with a face pale from blood loss and injuries, his face full of bitterness: "Xu Yu, I came here to reminisce about the past, but you..."
"What can I have to say to you?"
Xu Yu said impatiently: "You..."
"Why can't we talk about it?"
Jiang Yubai looked at Xu Yu with a resentful expression.
He was clearly a grown man, but a deep resentment was twisted on his face: "After all, we rolled through the mud together eighteen years ago. The things we can talk about are much deeper than you think."
"Besides, we've been together for years, and as your younger brother, I just want to say hello to my sister-in-law. Why are you so defensive and avoiding me?"
Jiang Yubai's words made Xu Yu's face turn pale with anger. He turned to Sang Zhixia and his expression changed instantly like magic. Wen Ru bowed politely and said hello: "My younger brother Jiang Yubai, I pay my respects to my sister-in-law."
Sang Zhixia swiftly dodged his greeting and nodded politely, "Your Excellency is too polite. A mere village woman doesn't deserve such a great honor."
Jiang Yubai chuckled softly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Sang Zhixia calmly hooked her finger around Xu Yu's: "Since you have something important to do, I won't keep you any longer."
"It's just that I'm feeling a little unwell. Why don't you take me back first and come back later to catch up?"
A dark color suddenly appeared in Xu Yu's eyes. He left Jiang Yubai behind and walked away protecting Sang Zhixia.
The man who spoke to Sang Zhixia first tried to stop him, but Jiang Yubai blocked it with a wave of his folding fan.
"If that bastard surnamed Xu wants to leave, no one can stop him."
"He's holding the apple of his eye and can't move his attention away. Why go and pick a fight now? Are you itching for something and haven't you ever been beaten?"
The man in black said helplessly, "Master, aren't I just afraid they'll take the opportunity to run away?"
"run?"
Jiang Yubai sneered as if he had heard a huge joke. He closed his fan and bared his teeth, "I was shot by an arrow just for running into him. Where else do you want to run to?"
"If he dares to abandon me and run away, I will go to the Imperial City of Kyoto one day and file a complaint against him!"
