Chapter 138 I Will Give Her a Tough Teach
Wen Ruyun sat on the official hat chair, tilted his head back and let Xu Miaomiao apply medicine on his face.
He closed his eyes and spoke in a sinister and fierce tone, "The most urgent matter is my sister Wen Xingluo. She's taken all the tea. How can we still participate in the tea-horse trade?! The city gates are locked, and she definitely can't return to Rongcheng tonight. If I'm not mistaken, she'll probably stay at Laojun Pavilion. We must seize this opportunity tonight and force her to give up the tea."
The tea merchants looked at each other in confusion.
One person tried to test the waters, saying, "But Laojun Pavilion is a renowned Taoist temple in Shu County. It often hosts dignitaries and their families. How can we possibly cause trouble there? What if someone finds out..."
"Idiot!" Wen Ruyun said impatiently, "Can't you disguise yourself as a bandit and break into the Taoist temple to kidnap people?! I've counted, there are nineteen of us here, plus the servants we brought with us, that's a total of one or two hundred people. We'll cover our faces tonight with black scarves, disguise ourselves as bandits and charge into the Taoist temple. We'll be outnumbered, so how can we worry about not being able to catch her?!"
As long as they capture Wen Xingluo and bring her back to the tea house and force her to return the tea purchased today, they can take advantage of the situation and stock up on the goods.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Mount Qingcheng is rugged and steep.
Wen Xingluo's carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and he, Cuicui, and Yeshui climbed up to Laojun Pavilion on foot.
Because the Zhenbei Palace had donated a lot of incense money, the old Taoist priest generously agreed to Wen Xingluo's request to stay overnight and readily arranged a bedroom for her.
Wen Xingluo had some vegetarian food after taking a bath.
The evening breeze blows gently in the mountains, and the quail's call is particularly quiet and lonely.
The girl stood behind the window and looked into the distance. She saw continuous mountains at the end of the sky. In the ink-like night, countless tree shadows swayed and danced like evil spirits. Occasionally, the orange-red light of torches jumped in the deep mountains, like faint phosphorescent fire.
She looked at the flames and said, "Cui Cui, I'm always uneasy."
"Why?" Cuicui nibbled on the white flour pancake she had just asked the Taoist priest to bake for her. "The white flour pancakes here are delicious. I feel quite at ease while eating them."
Wen Xingluo clenched his sleeves. "Brother, you went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but the bandits are so fierce, how could they surrender? What if those bandits, desperate as they are, also want to hide in Laojun Pavilion..."
The consequences are unimaginable.
"No way?" Cuicui suddenly felt the white bread in her mouth lose its taste, but she still tried to comfort Wen Xingluo, "Miss, you are worrying too much. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"
Yeshui stood alone on the curled eaves, holding a sword, and could hear clearly the conversation between the master and servant in the house.
He looked down at the mountain, and a hint of coldness and solemnity appeared on his young face.
At this time, at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
Wen Ruyun and others covered their faces with black scarves and were getting off the carriage stealthily.
Wen Ruyun said loudly, "Although Wen Xingluo is my sister, she has a vicious heart and bad behavior. When you see her later, you don't have to be polite to her. Beat her when she deserves it and teach her a lesson."
Wen Yueyin and Xu Miaomiao were also there.
Wen Yueyin said to the people around her in a gentle voice, "Sister is a girl after all. She was so willful that she cut off your source of income. She has a personal maid. You might as well use that maid to threaten Sister. If Sister refuses to cancel the order, you can chop off the maid's fingers. Chop them off one by one. Sooner or later, Sister will agree."
"You," Wen Ruyun touched her head lovingly, "you are just too kind!"
A group of people walked towards Qingcheng Mountain. When they reached the mountainside, they met another group of people.
The two groups of people were deadlocked on the mountain road with their torches connected.
Wen Ruyun frowned, "Who are you?"
The bandits also covered their faces with black scarves and held torches.
They escaped from Xie Guanlan's hands.
The bandit camp of four to five thousand people was almost completely killed by Xie Guanlan overnight, leaving only about a hundred people.
They had nowhere to go, so they thought of hiding in Qingcheng Mountain under the cover of night, killing the Taoist priest and hiding in the Taoist temple, and then quietly leaving after the storm had passed, changing their names and starting over.
Unexpectedly, we met another group of people halfway up the mountain.
The bandits looked at Wen Ruyun and others suspiciously.
Jianwen Ruyun and the others also covered their faces with black scarves. They whispered tentatively, "Are we going together?"
Wen Ruyun was stunned.
The bandit thought he hadn't heard clearly, so he reached forward and grabbed a handful of air, making a robbery gesture, "Want to go together?"
Wen Ruyun was silent.
Look at their gestures, it seems like they are picking tea leaves.
He is not an ordinary tea picker, he is the future richest man in Chengdu.
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity at this moment, so he nodded cautiously and said, "We're colleagues. So, were you also harmed by her?"
The bandits thought to themselves that they were indeed harmed by Xie Guanlan, and replied, "That's right!"
Wen Ruyun was immediately furious. "I didn't know she'd harmed others behind my back! She's unruly on a daily basis, but she's so vicious in private. It's outrageous! Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson and avenge you!"
The bandit was stunned.
That’s Xie Guanlan!
The youngest person in power in Zhenbei Palace, the commander of the Southwestern Army!
The young man in front of them was clearly just a chance acquaintance, but he was willing to take revenge on Xie Guanlan for them!
They were deeply moved and couldn't help but hold Wen Ruyun's hand tightly.
The two groups walked hand in hand along a mountain road, and the moon gradually rose.
The moonlight is clear.
Wen Yueyin suddenly noticed that one of the bandits was covered in blood.
She was stunned.
He glanced at the other bandits. They were also covered in blood to varying degrees. Although they were covered with black scarves, their foreheads and eyes were covered with old scars.
Wen Yueyin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
These people...
Could they be real bandits?!
Her face was pale and she quietly tugged at Wen Ruyun's sleeve.
Wen Ruyun didn't react at first. When he saw the blood on the bandits' bodies in the moonlight, his breath stopped and his legs felt heavy and cold as if they were filled with lead.
His Adam's apple rolled, and after stepping onto two steps first, he suddenly turned around and pushed the bandit closest to him down the mountain!
He took Wen Yueyin's hand and ran towards Laojun Pavilion!
Both groups of people were stunned.
Finally coming to their senses and realizing that the other party was not their so-called "colleagues", the bandits brandished their long swords without hesitation and slashed at the tea merchants and their servants.
Screams were heard one after another on the mountain road.
In the end, only about twenty people managed to escape, and they followed Wen Ruyun into Laojun Pavilion.
"Bandits! Bandits are coming!"
Wen Ruyun yelled in panic.
The Taoists quickly blocked the gate of the Taoist temple and kept the chasing bandits out.
Laojun Pavilion is brightly lit.
Wen Xingluo hurried into the palace and looked at Wen Ruyun and the others who were sitting on the ground gasping for breath. He asked calmly, "How many bandits are there?"
