Shen Nian explained the affairs of the mansion clearly and called Muchen over, "You stay in the mansion and take care of the lady and the young master these days. I'll be out for a few days!"
"Master, please take your subordinates with you!" Muchen wanted to go with him.
He also heard it when the guard came to report just now. He was not at ease letting his master go alone.
"What will happen to the mansion if you leave?" Only if Muchen stayed to protect him would he feel more at ease when he went out.
"Okay then!" Mu Chen was a little dejected. It was because Mu Feng and Mu Lin were not at home at the moment. Even if he wanted to find someone to replace him, he couldn't find anyone.
He hasn't been out of the house much in almost three months. He was injured in the last earthquake and has been staying at home ever since. Although he has recovered, those two people are not at home every day, so he has no chance to go out.
He was just like his master in this mansion and was not confident in leaving it to others to guard.
"Then you must be careful, master!" Seeing that Shen Nian was about to leave, Mu Chen hurriedly reminded her.
"I understand." Shen Nian didn't look back, waved his hand, and strode out the door.
On the other side, Chen Ke finally arrived at the place where Mu Feng and his men were ambushing after three days of shaking in the carriage.
"Master, there are no houses nearby. What should we do?" The servant was a little worried.
When it was getting late, they passed by a village and thought of staying there for the night. However, his young master was used to a life of luxury and disliked the poor accommodation conditions in the village and insisted on moving on.
Unexpectedly, after walking for more than an hour, not only did we not reach the town, but the surrounding area was completely desolate and there was not even a farmhouse.
"Then let's keep on going!" Chen Ke was also a little annoyed. He had been traveling for a whole day, but now he couldn't even find a place to rest.
Haven’t we arrived in Linzhou?
Isn’t Linzhou the richest place in the south?
How come we haven’t seen a town in sight after walking for so long?
The servant was a little scared when he heard Chen Ke's impatient tone, and did not dare to continue talking. He just told Awu to continue on his way.
It was already dark, the carriage was stumbling along, the road was gloomy, and the servant unconsciously tightened his clothes.
It’s not cold, it’s just a little scary!
I wonder if we will encounter bandits or something so late at night?
"Aiya!" The carriage suddenly jolted, causing Shen Ke to bump her head against the wall. Shen Ke rubbed the sore spot, a little furious. "Awu, how can you drive the carriage like that? Are you trying to kill your young master?"
Shen Ke's angry voice came from the car, and Wu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Master. It was too dark and I couldn't see the road clearly."
They only had one lantern hanging in front of the carriage, but that little light could not illuminate the road clearly.
"Master, it's too dark now. We can't see the road at all. It's too dangerous to travel. How about we stay here in the wilderness for one night and set off again when it gets light?" suggested the servant.
I have never walked this road before. What if there is a cliff or something ahead?
Chen Ke also knew that it was dangerous to walk at night, but he didn't want to spend the night in this wilderness. "Let's go a little further. Didn't the villagers say there's a town ahead?"
I don’t know if the villager lied to them. They have been walking for such a long time, but they still haven’t arrived.
Shen Nian began to complain, “Awu, did you take the wrong path?”
Why hasn’t it arrived yet? He doesn’t want to be fed by mosquitoes in the wild.
It is warm in Linzhou, but there are too many mosquitoes at night.
He was sitting in the carriage and had been bitten several times.
If they spend the night in the wild, mosquitoes will eat them.
"No, sir, I have been following the path pointed out by the villager." Awu quickly explained.
This can't be blamed on him, lest the young master gets angry and takes it out on him!
"Then let's go quickly, what are you hesitating about?" Chen Ke said unhappily.
Awu didn't dare to say anything and could only continue driving the carriage.
"Master, why don't we wait here until daybreak before leaving!" The servant felt the carriage swaying from side to side and felt a little worried.
"Stop talking nonsense and get on your way!" Chen Ke kicked the servant angrily. It was already this late, and he was still talking so much nonsense?
The servant was kicked and dared not make any more noise, and the carriage became quiet.
Chen Ke was also shaken to sleep, until the carriage hit something with a "clang" and stopped.
The servant quickly groped in the dark to help!
Chen Ke was hurt by the collision and immediately started cursing, "Awu, do you have eyes? How do you drive a carriage?"
"I'm sorry, young master!" Ah Wu was almost thrown off the carriage.
The carriage stopped. Ah Wu jumped off, took down the lantern, and shone it on the ground. "Who is so wicked as to put such a big rock on the road?"
Ah Wu muttered to himself, there were two big rocks in the middle of the road, the horses could pass but the carriage couldn't, blocking the way.
"What's going on?" Chen Ke calmed down and asked in a bad tone.
"Master, there are two large rocks blocking the road, and the carriage can't pass."
The stone was too big for him to move.
"Then move it away quickly!" Chen Ke said impatiently.
"Master, the stone is too big for me to move." Awu replied embarrassedly.
"What a waste!" Chen Ke cursed and asked the servant to go down and help.
The servant and the guard tried hard for a long time but still couldn't move it.
"Master, no, I still can't move it!"
"They are all trash!" Chen Ke got off the carriage cursing after hearing the reply.
The three of them hadn't noticed someone coming up behind them.
"Hey, young master..." The servant was about to speak when he felt a pain in his neck, and then he knew nothing.
When Chen Ke heard the voice and was about to turn around, he was also knocked down by a knife.
Awu was the first one to be knocked down.
After the three men were knocked unconscious, Mu Feng came out from the darkness and said, "Carry it up. Everyone else, clean up the traces, including this carriage!"
"Yes, boss." The others agreed, and three of them carried Chen Ke and the others and went to the hidden cave in front.
It was a dark and windy night, and there was no village or shop nearby. If someone was missing, no one would notice.
After walking about four or five miles, they finally arrived at the cave they had prepared long ago.
It was so dark that there were a few torches lit in the cave!
The guards threw Chen Ke and the other two to the ground and retreated.
Mu Feng stepped forward and said, "Master, we've got the person back. Should we wake him up now or wait a while?"
Shen Nian stood in the shadows, and the expression on his face was unclear. After a long while, he said, "Put out the torch and wake him up!"
Just as Mu Feng was about to step forward, Shen Nian spoke again, "Get those two people out first."
Mu Feng was stunned, but he still called other people in to take the servant and Awu out.
Then he extinguished the torch and woke up Chen Ke!
