Chapter 100 He's Coming
Seeing that the other party was about to hit the driver, Xu Shuyao became anxious and quietly pressed the mechanism of the sleeve arrow.
With a whoosh, a short arrow flew straight towards the man's face, but was blocked by his left hand. Blood oozes out of his hand.
The other party is not afraid of death!
He actually let the driver go and ran straight towards the carriage.
Xu Shuyao made up her mind and shot another poison arrow in a hurry.
This time they were too close, and the other party probably didn't expect that such a delicate young lady would dare to confront him head-on.
And since there was no poison on the arrow just now, he used the same method to block it again.
The poison arrow pierced the bandit's already damaged hand. In a moment, the man's face changed and he fell straight off his horse.
Seeing the situation here take a sharp turn, the other two leaders stepped up their offensive.
There were already a large number of masked bandits fighting with the guards, and they were now surrounding the carriage.
Xu Shuyao looked back at Cousin Cui and Old Madam Xiao in the carriage, and decisively lifted the curtain and sat behind the coachman.
"Just drive calmly and ignore them!" she ordered.
The driver was also an old hand. He must have been scared when he suddenly encountered such an emergency situation, but he also knew that the only way to survive was to rush out.
Suddenly the whip swung hard forward.
"Swoosh..." Xu Shuyao quickly shot two more arrows to her side.
The blood of the bandit leader lying on the ground is still hot!
Perhaps because they were afraid of the hidden weapon in her hand, the other bandits did not dare to move forward.
In this way, the coachman could drive the carriage at full speed, and after a few breaths, he actually got rid of the place where the fighting was taking place.
Xu Shuyao listened to the sounds of fighting fading away from the back and thought she could save her life this time.
Just as their carriage turned the corner, they heard the sound of horse hooves similar to the one just now coming from the front.
Her face turned pale and she turned to look at Old Madam Xiao.
The old man had been on a bumpy ride all the way, and his complexion wasn't much better than hers.
She looked at the two people in front of her and said firmly: "Yaoyao, Zhao Jie'er, let's get off the car, go to the mountains over there, and run in different directions!"
This way there is always some way out.
The driver had been running away all the way, but now he calmed down in this situation. "Yes! The masters are all heading to the mountains, so I'll keep driving my carriage forward..."
Only in this way can the masters' whereabouts not be exposed.
Madam Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Go to the back!"
Their guards are following behind, and perhaps the winner has been decided by now.
Even if they were defeated, they might still have some helpers left and a chance to escape.
After the agreement was reached, they immediately headed up the mountain, but chose three different directions.
Xu Shuyao relied on her hidden arrow and chose a main road. If someone caught up with her later, they would probably take this road.
Cui Zhaoran and Old Madam Xiao randomly chose a direction to enter the forest.
After entering, hide for a while and wait for the risk to subside before coming out.
Xu Shuyao walked in first, worried about Old Madam Xiao and the two maids in the other carriage.
Even the guards have families and parents.
At that time, they had to deal with several people at once, barely carrying the load. It looked like they were struggling, and they didn't know what the situation was now.
In addition to the trees, there are also some low grasses in the forest, and gradually even the road cannot be seen.
Xu Shuyao indeed heard several waves of unfamiliar voices later, but she held her breath and hid.
As they kept hiding, they drifted further and further away.
He was also wondering in his heart, just when the Duke had won a great victory at the border, who was so blind? He chose to attack them, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children. What was his purpose?
As the sky in the forest gradually darkened, Xu Shuyao was hungry and scared, and did not dare to go out.
She barely found a cave, but she had no tools to make a fire. Fortunately, it was April, so she didn't feel cold.
So I found some pine needles and spread them inside, and drank the dew on the leaves, but what to eat was a big problem.
She had to get through tonight and wait until the thieves had completely dispersed before she could go out.
But when he was wandering around, he accidentally discovered a hunter's wooden house.
Seeing that no one was inside, she went in again to find some bacon and brown rice. When she came out, she unexpectedly found a small piece of flint for making fire.
He brought all these things into the cave, but he didn't dare leave any traces to the owner. He just thought he would quietly put some gold and silver jewelry in it when he left!
With these things, she finally managed to have a full meal at night.
Leaning in front of the fire, she thought of Old Madam Xiao again, wondering if it was safe now.
If they had known that no one was chasing them, the three of them should have escaped together, otherwise she would still be stuck like she is now.
There are also Qiaowei and Huixiang. They are just maids in the mansion. They have no money and no grudges against the bandits. If they were sweet-talkers, they might be able to save their lives.
Or maybe you can wait until she is out of danger and then go and rescue the two of them, instead of doing anything stupid because of a momentary anger.
The dead branches in front of her burst into pieces in the fire. Xu Shuyao forced herself to yawn several times, but in the end she fell headfirst into the still prickly pine needles.
In a daze, she felt her body suddenly become very warm.
It was like being back on the small bed in Jiyunzhai, with Huixiang, Qiaowei, and Madam Zheng beside me...
Xiao Mo touched the young lady's forehead and saw that the fire in front of him had become smaller. He stretched out his right hand and threw a few dry branches in.
In the small cave, besides the pine needle-covered nest below, there was also the smell of smoked meat and the faint smell of burnt rice wafting around.
Although she was a young cook, her environment was limited after all.
Fortunately, I found a flint for making fire from somewhere.
A smile played on Xiao Mo's lips, and he suddenly thought of what his grandmother had said to him: "Go find Yaoyao quickly. It's all thanks to that kid today. I don't know where he's hiding now."
The old man was full of praise when he spoke of her, "Yaoyao is actually braver than your guards!"
Xiao Mo had known this for a long time, otherwise how could she, a young lady, bring her younger brother and old servant to the capital alone that day, and even know to use their influence.
The dancing flames in front of his eyes reflected the man's handsome eyebrows and eyes, which were not as sharp as before, and even had a strange look of joy.
But later, he didn't know what he thought of, and nodded at the person lying next to him as if with disgust.
The young lady muttered a few words, but it was hard to hear clearly.
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows.
The guards standing outside glanced over and quickly lowered their heads.
Fortunately, the prince arrived in time today, and this Madam Xu was also a formidable person. She actually used the sleeve arrow in her hand to protect himself and two other important female relatives. Otherwise... he dared not think about the consequences for his group of people.
