Chapter 178 Robbers
On the night when the counties received the list, a group of disguised guards left County Lieutenant Liu's belly and headed for the road that must be passed between Yan County and Qingzhou Prefecture...
Gu Yunyi and his companions came back from the banquet not too late, but they all smelled slightly of alcohol.
When they came back, Xu Qingmeng was already packing. They didn't bring much with them when they came, but when they left, they had a lot of stuff.
Xu Qingmeng went out for a long walk with Hui Niang in the afternoon and bought many things that were not available in Yan County.
Some are for Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, some are for He Shi, some are for Xin Ting and Xun Ge'er, some are for the disciples of Jinxiu Xuan, and of course some are prepared for the Xu family.
There were so many things, big and small, all kinds of things. Xu Qingmeng packed up a pile of baggage.
When Gu Yunyi came back, he was shocked to see the bundles scattered all over the floor.
Xu Qingmeng explained, and he laughed: "From this point of view, I didn't bring anything with me when I took the test, and went home empty-handed. Isn't that a dereliction of duty?"
"That's right?" Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "By the way, did you meet the academic official today?"
"Yes, I met him and we talked briefly. He was quite kind." Gu Yunyi replied.
"Did you mention Mr. Shen?"
Gu Yunyi shook his head and said, "But the gentleman wrote to me before that he would be back before August Festival. I don't know if he has come back to Yan County yet. I will go to see him after I return, and then I will take you to see him."
Xu Qingmeng nodded: "Yes."
Gu Yunyi went to wash up, but Xu Qingmeng was a little absent-minded.
Why?
Gu Yunyi's husband is coming back, which means the heroine in the original book will appear.
Then he shook his head again. What is coming will come eventually, so why bother yourself with trivial matters?
I have to get up early tomorrow, so I went to bed early.
The carriage that had been contacted in advance had arrived. Seeing Xu Qingmeng's full bag, he hurried forward to help carry it.
There was no time to make breakfast, so Xu Qingmeng and the other two just bought some buns outside to satisfy their hunger. Hui Niang and the others also got up early to see the three off.
Hui Niang really liked Xu Qingmeng. After spending a month together, she was reluctant to see Xu Qingmeng leave.
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "It won't be long. When Master Fang comes to the city to study, if you bring Yuanbao with you, we can still meet."
The Gu family will definitely come to live in the capital city.
It is more convenient for Gu Yunyi to go to the provincial school. Also, the teaching resources in the provincial city must be better than those in Yan County. Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are already past the age of enlightenment.
"Oh, right, how could I forget about this? When are you planning to come over? Please write to me in advance and we can prepare together. This way, we can be neighbors!" Hui Niang said happily.
Fang Ziheng looked at his wife and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
He looked at Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia: "Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, the journey is long, see you next time."
"good."
The carriage made a clattering sound and rushed towards the city gate.
The carriage that Gu Yunyi found was relatively large, so the three of them didn't feel crowded sitting inside.
Zhou Yuanjia was alone and had gotten up early, so he was very tactful and closed his eyes to rest as soon as he got on the carriage.
"I estimate that we'll be home before noon. We got up early this morning. Do you want to take a nap?"
Gu Yunyi held her in his arms and motioned for her to lean on his shoulder and rest for a while.
Xu Qingmeng was actually quite sleepy. She didn't know if it was because she was getting older, but she was even sleepier. However, the carriage moved much faster once it left the city gate. Although the official road was quite wide, it was not very smooth after all.
How can I sleep? It’s good as long as you don’t vomit.
However, she still leaned on Gu Yunyi's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest. After all, there was another Zhou Yuanjia in the car.
Passing a three-way intersection, there is a section of road towards the direction of Yan County with woods on both sides.
The driver, who was sitting in the front, suddenly pulled the reins and whispered, "Sir, something seems wrong ahead."
The three people inside were all stunned. Zhou Yuanjia was the first to open the curtain and asked, "What happened?"
The driver pointed to the woods ahead and said solemnly, "Sir, look, there is a faint shadow moving in the woods. I'm worried that it has met some bad guys."
Zhou Yuanjia looked at Gu Yunyi in the carriage. Their eyes met and they both understood each other's vigilance.
Xu Qingmeng also opened her eyes at this time, her hand unconsciously touched her abdomen, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
The masked man in black in front did not move when he saw Zhou Yuanjia's face, but when he saw Gu Yunyi's face, he seemed to see some signal.
Everyone had a fierce look in their eyes and walked out of the woods with long swords in hand.
The driver was so frightened that his eyes went straight: "My dear friends, please spare my life, please spare my life..."
"Get out of the way!" Someone stepped forward and pulled the driver down, then pushed him aside.
"What are you going to do?"
Although Zhou Yuanjia's face did not show fear, Gu Yunyi could see clearly that his hands were slightly pale.
"What are you doing? It's none of your business. Get out of the way. Let's find the one inside."
The three of them were all stunned. Xu Qingmeng saw through the gap that there were at least a dozen men outside, all holding long knives in their hands. They came with a threatening momentum and now said they were looking for Gu Yunyi.
Xu Qingmeng's mind was racing.
This road is an official road with many horse-drawn carriages, and it is also the only way for students to return home. Moreover, how dare they do this in broad daylight?
This was obviously directed at Gu Yunyi, and she immediately thought of County Lieutenant Liu.
When Gu Yunyi heard this, he obviously guessed it.
The leading man sneered, looked Gu Yunyi up and down, and then looked at Zhou Yuanjia: "If you want to blame someone, blame the case leader next to you?"
Zhou Yuanjia didn't understand, but he knew that this was not the time to ask this.
The leader was very fierce and slashed straight at Gu Yunyi with a knife. Zhou Yuanjia was quick to pull Gu Yunyi towards him.
"Bang!" The long knife chopped on the top of the carriage, leaving a deep mark.
"Do you know that the reason you are like this now is all because of him? You still saved him. Only if he died can you have a chance to survive." The leader snorted coldly.
"Bullshit! How dare a bunch of you commit such violence in broad daylight? Do you have any respect for the law? You are still trying to stir up trouble here? You underestimate me too much." Zhou Yuanjia cursed angrily.
The leader laughed wildly again: "The law? I, your grandfather, am the law."
"Come here, pull them down for me!"
"yes."
Although Zhou Yuanjia spoke so confidently, his face was actually pale.
