Chapter 123 The Gradually Outrageous Team
Chapter 123 The Gradually Outrageous Team
Three days later, at the gate of Jiang Mansion, although Gu Nian'an's face was still a little pale, he had no problem acting independently.
He stood under the eaves and looked at the huge group of people traveling in front of him, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.
He could foresee that after the previous assassination, the people from the Yanyue Sect would make some preparations before setting out again.
But what he never expected was that Mrs. Jiang was so well prepared.
Looking at the hundreds of well-equipped black knights at the door, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Madam, the journey is long, and I am worried about your and Wei'er's safety. This time, I will let the brothers Xu Biao and Xu Hu escort you to Jinzhou. In addition, I have prepared 500 soldiers outside the city, and they will set off with you."
“Ah, this…~”
Ye Jinxiu walked up to her husband and whispered in his ear, "Husband, aren't there too many people? We are just going to attend Wanjun's wedding, so we shouldn't need so many people."
Jiang Xiao took off a black token from his waist and handed it to his wife.
"When you go out, you always have to prepare more. Because of my special status, I can't go with you, so if you have more people to prepare, I can feel more at ease.
Also, take this token. If you encounter any problems along the way, use it to mobilize the garrisons in various places. I think they won’t dare to refuse.”
After a slight hesitation, Ye Jinxiu took the token from her husband.
"You must take good care of yourself while I'm away, my husband. Wei'er and I will be back as soon as possible."
Reaching out his hand, Jiang Xiao gently helped Ye Jinxiu tighten her cloak behind her. A smile appeared on his stern face. "Don't worry about the journey. Take good care of yourself along the way."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Ye Jinxiu nodded obediently, "Don't worry, my husband. Don't forget that I used to be a female hero who dared to venture into the world alone."
Jiang Xiao smiled helplessly and then gently touched his wife's soft long hair.
"It's getting late, let's set off early."
There was still a long way to go today, so everyone did not delay any longer. After the Jiang couple said goodbye, they entered the gate of the Jiang Mansion one after another as the carriage left.
Jiang Xiao stood at the door and watched the team moving away, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Go and follow the lady and the young master. If anything happens to them, you don't have to come back."
At some point, two figures in black tights had quietly knelt behind Jiang Xiao.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Gu Nian'an sat alone in the spacious carriage. The entire carriage was five meters square and was fully stocked with fruits, snacks, tea, and drinks.
Sitting quietly in the carriage, Gu Nian'an had a strange expression on his face.
Is this how big shots travel?
Not only were there armored soldiers accompanying him, but there were also no less than dozens of maids and attendants. Is it so luxurious?
It was only when the carriage team just left the gate of Xinze County that Gu Nian'an realized that he might have been too superficial.
Hearing the noise outside the carriage, he gently lifted the door curtain and took a look. Gu Nian'an's eyes twitched again.
Outside the city gate, hundreds of soldiers were seen slowly joining the already huge team.
Is it so outrageous? It's just a simple trip to attend someone else's wedding. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
After observing for a while, Gu Nian'an slowly lowered the door curtain and returned to the carriage to meditate.
Oh! There is nothing wrong with being cautious. Besides, as long as it does not affect him, there is nothing to say about it.
In this way, this huge team marched slowly on the wide official road.
Whenever pedestrians and caravans on the road caught a glimpse of this outrageous team from afar, they would consciously retreat to the side of the road.
Then he stood quietly by the official road, watching the huge team moving further and further away with a look of surprise in his eyes.
The forest was silent, and the shadows of the trees were dim. At this moment, a group of people were setting up camp among the trees.
"I say, Ye Jinxiu, can you be more reliable? We are going to attend Wanjun's wedding, not to fight a war. What on earth do you want to do with so many people?"
Ye Jinxiu walked forward, took her senior sister's arm and looked at her with a smile in her eyes.
"I can't help it. It was all arranged by my husband. Besides, with more people to take care of it, there will be less danger."
Pushing away the person who was sticking to him with some disgust, Leng Qingqiu looked coldly at the smiling woman in front of him with murderous eyes.
She knew that it was a wrong decision to agree to let this girl travel with her. With her junior sister's personality, she would always bring her some unexpected surprises.
"Humph, I don't care what method you use. Before we set out again tomorrow, the number of people in the team must not exceed thirty."
Hearing her senior sister's request, Ye Jinxiu smiled and raised a palm, "Sister, why don't you keep fifty people?"
You see, we need a chef, and we also need maids and servants to serve us. Besides, Young Master Gu is injured, so he needs to have a doctor with him at all times.
So…~”
Listening to his junior sister's chattering, Leng Qingqiu's eyes gradually became dangerous.
"I don't care how you arrange it. Anyway, if the number of people in the team exceeds thirty tomorrow, I will see how I deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jinxiu's smile froze.
"Senior sister, I...~"
Before Ye Jinxiu could continue speaking, Leng Qingqiu turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Looking at the gradually receding figure, Ye Jinxiu stuck out her tongue and muttered softly
"Damn old aunt, no wonder...~"
Suddenly, Leng Qingqiu, who was about to reach the front of the carriage, turned around and glanced at his junior sister who was mumbling.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jinxiu quickly put on a smile, nodded obediently in the direction of her senior sister, and then quickly trotted towards the horse.
Between the mountains, mists are floating, and the originally ethereal landscape is now covered with a faint blood-red color.
"laugh"
The soldier casually pulled out the blood-stained gun tip, then raised his head and stared coldly at the people who were fleeing in panic in front of him.
"What should we do now, brother?"
The big man in the lead kept walking, his eyes fixed on the dark road.
"Split up and flee. As many as you can escape."
Upon hearing this, everyone did not dare to delay and quickly started running in different directions.
Xu Biao rode his horse to the top of the cliff, watching the battle below which was about to stop with his cold eyes.
"General, the bandits near the area have been basically cleared out. The battlefield will be cleaned up in no time."
"drive"
Turning his horse around, Xu Biao slowly passed by the soldiers who were bowing and clasping their fists.
Almost all the bandits on the nearby hills have been wiped out. I think no one will disturb the peace of the madam and the major general tonight.
Gu Nian'an, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation in the carriage, slowly opened his eyes, gently lifted the curtains, and his nose twitched slightly.
Mm, it smells of blood.
Gu Nian'an narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the black-armored figure riding out of the woods in the distance.
Noticing the gaze, Xu Biao quickly shifted his gaze, and the two men's eyes met for a moment.
Xu Biao loosened the reins and clasped his fists slightly towards the carriage.
Seeing this, Gu Nian'an nodded, then withdrew his hand and lowered the curtains.
It looks like tonight will be peaceful. After all, with such a group of energetic soldiers guarding us, anyone with ulterior motives nearby will probably be in bad luck.
