The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 21: Chased Again
Su Lun took the initiative to sit outside the carriage. He had a strong interest in driving the carriage and asked the driver for relevant skills. At this moment, Xie Tianlin in the carriage was resting with his eyes closed. Su Lun's behavior was beyond his expectation.
Last night, when Su Lun proposed to keep watch, Xie Tianlin was not completely without doubts. He carried two account books with him, one of which was a fake account book that he had carefully copied before, with the purpose of confusing the enemy. The really important one was carefully kept by him; and the fake account book was placed in the luggage at the head of the bed. To ensure safety, he also deliberately put a strand of hair in the account book, and also put a very short strand of hair in an inconspicuous place where the package was tied. After getting up this morning, he carefully checked the package and the account book, and found that there was no sign that they had been turned over. This alleviated Xie Tianlin's doubts a little.
Listening to the sound of Su Lun and the driver learning driving skills, Xie Tianlin's eyes softened. This time, he brought his most trusted men to investigate the smuggling of salt, but he didn't expect that they would all meet with accidents. However, from the current situation, this Su Lun seems to have quite good abilities. If given enough time and opportunities, he may be able to take on important tasks in the future.
In fact, he had sent someone to deliver the news to the capital a few days ago, but because he was afraid that there were spies from other forces in the East Palace, he did not send the message directly to the palace, but instead sent the message to his future father-in-law, the general's mansion. The eldest lady of the general's mansion, Xiao Anya, was his fiancée and the future crown princess. According to the original plan, they were supposed to hold the wedding last winter, but his mother fell seriously ill last spring and eventually passed away due to ineffective treatment, so his wedding had to be postponed for a whole year.
General Xiao has always been upright and honest, so naturally he would not have anything to do with the private salt business. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, at the current speed, he should be able to reach Jinzhou by noon tomorrow. The governor of Jinzhou was promoted by him personally, and he is loyal to him. Therefore, even if the people from the general's mansion arrive a little later, as long as he arrives in Jinzhou, his personal safety will be fully guaranteed. However, he cannot tell Su Lun about these situations yet, and let Su Lun deal with it himself first. It is a good opportunity to see how capable this young man is.
Su Lun was fully focused and followed the driver for more than an hour, gradually mastering some driving skills. The driver, Uncle Liu, enthusiastically let Su Lun try to take the initiative, but since he was still a novice and his skills were not proficient, the carriage became bumpy.
At noon, they finally arrived near the post station. The driver, Uncle Liu, suggested that they stop for a while to rest, after all, even if the people were not tired, the horses also needed to rest and eat grass.
"Then let's go to the post station ahead to rest for a while." Xie Tianlin's loud voice came from the carriage. So the three of them got off the carriage, fed some food and grass to the horses, and then each of them took care of their personal needs, and after filling up some fresh tea, they continued on their way without delay.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Su Lun suddenly noticed something strange. The surroundings were unusually quiet. "Shua!" A sharp sound of breaking wind came...Su Lun reacted quickly and grabbed the arrow that was shot straight at his face.
"Thank you, Master, be careful!"
Su Lun reminded loudly.
"Ah! Help!" At the same time, the driver's panicked scream was heard.
"Uncle Liu, get down on the ground!" Su Lun quickly warned him, and raised the arrow in his hand, throwing it with all his strength at a black assassin who was about to draw his bow and shoot. Just now, he saw from the corner of his eye that there were only two archers in the field. At this moment, one of them had been hit by the arrow he shot and lost his ability to fight. In this way, as long as they could successfully deal with the remaining archer, the threat they faced would be greatly reduced.
In a flash, Su Lun rolled on the ground and kicked a man in black who was approaching him. Then, he flew up and down with a dagger in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he killed the man in black with one blow. Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Su Lun quickly dragged the body of the man in black over as a cover, then quickly took out his small slingshot and aimed at the only remaining archer. With a "whoosh" sound and a painful cry, the bow and arrow of the man in black flew out of his hand in an instant. It turned out that the small stone that Su Lun had just fired hit his eyes accurately, and blood oozed out from between his fingers. At this time, the man in black covered his eyes tightly with both hands and rolled on the ground in pain.
After getting rid of the archer, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xie Tianlin jumped out of the carriage, came to Su Lun's side, and stood back to back with him to resist the enemy's attack together. At this moment, there were still seven black-clad assassins on the field staring at the two of them. If the situation was not critical and could not tolerate any negligence, Su Lun really wanted to complain loudly: "You are wearing so black in broad daylight, are you afraid that others don't know you are villains?"
Su Lun was very alert to deal with the situation. After all, they were not in a numerical advantage. If the time was delayed too long, it would only be more disadvantageous for them. However, Su Lun had always fought with bare hands in the past, but now all his opponents were armed. Although the overall strength of these people was not too strong, it was still difficult to determine the winner in a short time. Su Lun dodged the attack of the black-clothed man in front of him, and then quickly punched him to the ground, and then slashed the chest of the black-clothed man on the right with a dagger. However, the black-clothed man on the left took the opportunity to attack successfully. Su Lun was unable to dodge and his left arm was scratched.
"Mr. Su, are you okay?" Xie Tianlin noticed that Su Lun seemed to be hit by the man in black, and asked anxiously.
"It's okay, just some minor injuries."
Su Lun endured the stinging pain in his arm, and his moves became more and more fierce and tricky. After the two of them gradually developed a tacit understanding, about forty minutes passed, and finally, the last black-clad killer fell to the ground. At this moment, both of them were exhausted. Xie Tianlin checked carefully like last time to make sure that no one was left alive.
Su Lun frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable with the scene before him, so he walked aside and began to vomit. After he finished vomiting, he noticed a kettle in front of him.
"Rinse your mouth first, then drink some water, you will feel better." The person who spoke was Xie Tianlin.
"Thank you, sir." Su Lun took the kettle gratefully.
After drinking the water, Su Lun clasped his fists and bowed to Xie Tianlin, saying: "I'm so sorry to have made a fool of myself, mainly because I have never experienced such a tragic scene before." Xie Tianlin waved his hands, indicating that he could understand and told him not to take it too seriously.
"Please spare me, gentlemen. I didn't see anything and I don't know anything!" At this time, the driver, Uncle Liu, said with a trembling voice, as if the candlelight in the wind would go out at any time. His originally straight body became hunched because of fear, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
Su Lun clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He was filled with worry and anxiety, fearing that his actions would implicate the innocent driver. After all, in this era, the lives of ordinary people were as insignificant as grass, and those dignitaries would not take them seriously at all. Once involved in such disputes, they often became innocent victims, and even their lives were difficult to save. He was very worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would kill the person in front of him.
