The robbers, who were already frightened by Jiang Zhi's reckless attack, turned around and ran as soon as they received the order. Some of them even ran so fast that they dropped their weapons on the ground.
It all happened so fast. Just now they were fighting to the death, but suddenly all the robbers ran away.
Ye Jintang looked at the messy camp and quickly ordered, "Captain Song, take a look at the casualties on our side."
At this moment, Ye Jintang had just experienced a life-and-death disaster. She only felt her heart pounding and her hands and feet were a little out of control. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and wanted to go see other people.
As I walked forward, I felt the force coming from my wrist.
"Brother Jiang?"
Ye Jintang looked at Jiang Zhi in confusion.
"Don't go anywhere, just stay here. Robbers are always cunning, they might come back and attack us, so we have to be on guard against this."
Ye Jintang wanted to say something, but Jiang Zhi didn't give her the chance. He strode forward to check the camp that had been looted by the robbers.
The boxes on the carriage were only filled with some simple clothes and items needed for the journey, but no valuable gold, silver or jewelry.
The robbers turned the boxes upside down, Ye Jintang's clothes were scattered everywhere, and chef Wei's kitchen utensils were scattered all over the place.
Even the carriage was damaged by them. What was even more outrageous was that one of the carriage wheels was directly broken into several pieces by a knife and was completely unusable.
"Madam Liu, just pack up the young master's clothes and put them in a bag. Don't take anything else. We need to leave here as soon as possible.
In addition to the damage to their belongings, Escort Leader Song, several escort masters, as well as Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei were all injured to varying degrees.
Especially Song Biao and his men, they were afraid that Ye Jintang would fall into the hands of the robbers, and they were risking their lives just now.
Upon checking, we found that each of them was seriously injured.
"Captain Song, if you continue to move forward, you will only be able to see a doctor in two days. The weather is still a bit hot now, and I'm afraid your wounds won't last that long."
"Why don't you turn back to Yuezhou City now? If you ride a fast horse, you can get back in half a day."
"That won't do. We have to escort Master Ye to Xingnanzhou. If we go back now, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
"I am also going to Xingnanzhou, so I will escort Brother Qinglin there. Captain Song, just go back and heal your wounds."
Escort Captain Song had seen how skilled Jiang Zhi was just now. If he escorted Ye Jintang to Xingnan Prefecture, it would be safer than if he, the escort captain, escorted her there.
Escort Captain Song glanced at the other seriously injured escorts and finally nodded.
Escorting Ye Jintang is important, but the lives of other bodyguards are also important.
If the wound becomes festering and develops fever, it may be fatal.
Song Biaotou walked forward with a guilty look on his face and saluted Ye Jintang.
"I'm sorry, Master Ye. My kung fu is not good enough and I almost got you hurt."
"Captain Song, there is no need to be polite. No one expected that there would be such arrogant bandits running rampant so close to Yuezhou City."
Jiang Zhi was afraid that the robbers would come back to attack them, so they didn't say much. They packed up their things and prepared to leave on horseback.
It was only when the horses were being distributed that everyone realized there were not enough.
Moreover, Luzhu, Lianqiao and Ye Jintang cannot ride a horse, but Madam Liu and Kitchen Lady Wei know a little.
"Sir, I can ride a horse. How about you ride with me?"
Zhou Wuwei led the maroon horse forward. His arm was cut and it was still wrapped in gauze.
Before Ye Jintang could speak, Jiang Zhi said, "Wuwei is not even as tall as a horse, how can you lead people?"
Jiang Zhi's words hit Zhou Wuwei's weak spot. His face instantly turned red and he said in a muffled voice, "I learned to ride a horse when I was five years old, and my riding skills are no worse than yours."
"It's also true that you're not as tall as a horse. If you can't protect Brother Qinglin while riding, there's a good chance that both of you will fall off your horses together."
"You can ride a horse yourself, so you know the consequences of falling off a horse."
Jiang Zhi's words left Zhou Wuwei speechless.
"Brother Qinglin, if you don't mind, why don't you ride a horse with me? At least I can protect Brother Qinglin and prevent him from falling off, right?"
Ye Jintang was about to speak, but before he could finish his words, he heard Madam Liu say, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Jiang. I can ride a horse and can take my young master with me."
"Madam Liu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to ride with Brother Qinglin."
Only then did Nanny Liu realize that Ye Jintang was now dressed as a young master.
"Yes?" Is it okay for them to ride together?
Aunt Liu had a bad look on her face. She always felt that Jiang Zhi was not a good person, even though he had just saved everyone.
"It's alright, Madam Liu. Master Jiang and I can just ride on the same horse."
Ye Jintang finally spoke. She didn't care who she rode a horse with, she just wanted to leave this damn place first.
No one can tell whether the robbers who just left will come back to attack.
Time was running out, so Nanny Liu had no choice but to agree to this arrangement.
Jiang Zhi reached out and pulled Ye Jintang onto the horse. Their bodies were close together, and Ye Jintang could even clearly smell the faint woody scent on Jiang Zhi.
"Brother Qinglin, hold on tight."
Jiang Zhi squeezed the horse's belly and the black horse flew out like a bird.
Zhou Wuwei looked at the two figures with an unconvinced look on his face. He muttered, "My mother said that if I eat well in the next one or two years, I will grow taller quickly."
The others also mounted their horses and chased after Jiang Zhi.
The horse was galloping on the path. Ye Jintang tried to keep her body steady, but because of the bumpy road, her back always hit Jiang Zhi's chest.
Although it was late summer, the clothes they were wearing were relatively thin. Ye Jintang bumped into Jiang Zhi's arms several times. She didn't know if it was because of the heat or she was hallucinating, but she always felt a burning sensation on her back.
Ye Jintang had never had such close contact with a man in her past and present life. Her mind was in a mess and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
Ye Jintang secretly complained in her heart that she would never ride a horse with others again. It was so crowded and hot, so annoying.
Also, are Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mo the same person? When she has the chance, she will take a good look to see if there is a human skin mask on Jiang Zhi's face.
If they were the same person, should she expose him?
However, it seems that no matter whether it is Jiang Zhi or Jiang Mo, they will not have any intersection after going to Xingnanzhou.
Otherwise, don’t think about it anymore. They will go their separate ways when they reach Xingnanzhou.
Jiang Zhi was familiar with the terrain. After separating from Song Biaotou at a fork in the road, he quickly took Ye Jintang to an official road.
"Ten miles ahead, there is an abandoned post station where we can rest."
"Are there no villages around here?"
"It happened before. A few months ago, an epidemic wiped out many villages."
