Chapter 282: Ambush
Cheng Xiaolian and their actual distance from Lawson is less than 200 miles, but the roads in Sichuan are very difficult to walk, not to mention galloping horses, and it is difficult to walk in some places, this is still the case that Yang Youcai chose a good road to walk as much as possible.
Of course, Yang Youcai will not let Cheng Xiaolian go to the dangerous place where thousands of people walk and hundreds of people die, so the speed is very slow every day, the first two days Mao Ruoling and they are still in the mood to wander around when they are resting, looking for something fun to do, and then two days, almost as soon as it is time to rest, they hurriedly find a place to sit, and the long journey is too tiring.
In contrast, Cheng Xiaolian is much better, after coming to this world, he was sent to Zhu Guozhi's mansion and suffered for three months, so whether it was when he was attacking Myanmar or on a long journey, he never shouted a word of bitterness. Yuan Zonghao and Confucius were probably to wash away the pampered atmosphere on his body and not to bring them the disaster of killing, but he didn't expect it to make him grit his teeth and persevere.
This is also where Yang Youcai admires him, Cheng Xiaolian does not have the pampered atmosphere of the prince and grandson nobles, not only does it save Yang Youcai a lot of trouble, but it is much easier for them to disguise themselves no matter what.
As soon as she heard the word rest, Mao Ruoling took a small blanket from her horse and found a clean place to spread it out and sit down to rest, the carriage was abandoned by them as early as yesterday when she crossed the valley, and the road in that valley could not pass the carriage at all, so Mao Ruoling had no place to rest.
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Didn't you say that you are a martial arts master?" How can you be worse than me? ”
"Me, I just said that I am good at kung fu, but I didn't say that I am very good at walking."
Xiao Qi responded on the side: "Yes, I keep rushing every day." ”
Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "I haven't said you yet, you said you wanted to cook for me, but now you want others to cook for you every day." ”
Xiao Qi's face turned red: "I, I'm going to cook." ”
"Don't don't, don't, I'm just joking with you, if you come out and make you tired, how can I explain to General Mao and Feng Ge after I go back."
Mao Ruoling's face turned red: "Are we holding you back?" ”
"No, we are just rushing according to General Yang's plan now, and they are not iron men, so they may have to fight with people at that time, so we must maintain our physical strength."
Mao Ruoling gently stroked the bangs on her forehead: "We're really worried that we missed your business, and we discussed last night whether the two of us should go back by ourselves." ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Since you came out, let's have fun, since you have chosen to come out with us, you will naturally see a lot of interesting things, and you will inevitably suffer and be tired." ”
At this time, Yang Youcai walked over: "Young master, something happened." Speaking of this, he smiled at the two girls: "I didn't mean to disturb you. ”
Mao Ruoling and Xiao Qi's faces turned red, and Mao Ruoling hurriedly said: "If you have something important, just say it, we're just chatting." ”
Cheng Xiaolian turned around: "What's the matter?" ”
"There is a situation in the forest ahead, it may be an ambush."
Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "The news we came out didn't know except for the generals in the battalion, how could anyone know my identity?" ”
Yang Youcai was also very puzzled: "I also don't understand, it stands to reason that no one will betray us at this time, and it won't do us any good to betray us." ”
Xiao Qi said weakly: "Maybe people are just bandits who block the road and cut the path." ”
Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai's eyes lit up at the same time, and Yang Youcai patted his head: "Hey, my head is really in the water, or the little seventh girl Bingxue is smart, and I can see their identities at a glance." ”
This is not to blame Yang Youcai, as soon as there is an abnormality in the woods, the first thing he thinks about is that they are going to be unfavorable to Cheng Xiaolian, and if he thinks about it according to this idea, he will definitely think crookedly, but the people in the woods may be bandits who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains.
Yang Youcai walked forward, and after a while, he came to the woods: "Brothers in the mountains, my young master is going to Chengdu to join his relatives, passing through the treasure land, it is very rude to not have time to visit the mountain, and now I am willing to give you twenty taels of silver to buy wine for your brothers." ”
Yang Youcai had never learned the black dialect in the mountains of Sichuan, and he was afraid that saying something wrong would cause misunderstanding, so he expressed his meaning in the vernacular.
Of course, the silver he took out should be a lot among the passers-by, and any more will arouse their greed, and even they will notice that this guy is a stunned young man who has not walked the rivers and lakes, but will be ruthless.
But there was no sound in the woods, and Yang Youcai didn't understand what they meant, could it be that he pretended not to understand or felt that the silver was too little? This time, in order not to attract the attention of others, he only brought about fifty people, if he really fought with them, he would not necessarily lose, but it would be difficult to deal with Lawson again, he didn't want to lose a big one because of a small one.
Yang Youcai shouted again: "Friends in the mountains, my young master walks the rivers and lakes for the first time, can you give face?" ”
There was a sudden sound of breaking wind in the air, and Yang Youcai quickly rolled out on the spot when he saw that it was not good, and inserted a bow and arrow where he stood.
Yang Youcai understood the other party's answer, they didn't plan to take twenty taels of silver, but wanted to take it all, thinking of this, his face was a little gloomy, since he couldn't be good, then he just beat it.
Thinking of this, he retreated back and gathered the people around him: "Young master, we can't rest here, this place is unfamiliar, and there are still people in ambush secretly, we have to leave quickly, so that they are fully prepared." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Send someone to protect these two girls, let's go." ”
Under the command of Yang Youcai, the group began to walk in the woods on the side, if they walked in the middle of the road, they were likely to be attacked by others, and they walked on the side, and ran into the people in ambush in the woods, and they didn't know if they could fight the Jinyi guard.
Just after they walked twenty steps, there was a sudden rush of shouting and killing in the woods, and Yang Youcai shouted: "All cheer up, they are coming." Watch your back and don't get caught in the middle. ”
Cheng Xiaolian also picked up the bow at this time and glanced at Mao Ruoling and the two of them: "Don't be reckless for a while, even if they kill closely, don't shoot until they have to, if the sharpshooter in ambush in the forest finds out, it will be dead." ”
The forest behind them has always been quiet and no enemy has appeared, Yang Youcai is always a little uneasy, these people who come out to rob the road will definitely not give up this kind of good place for ambush, are they so arrogant?
At this time, the first person had already run out of the woods, Cheng Xiaolian didn't think about it, he raised his hand is an arrow, and the first person fell to the ground with an arrow, which frightened the people on the other side, and they finally noticed that they seemed to have encountered hard stubble.
