I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times
Chapter 241: One person can be saved
Seeing that the young lady enjoyed watching the scenery, the coachman gently tightened the reins and slowed down the speed of the carriage.
Shangguan Yue felt the driver's kindness and smiled softly. A small yellow butterfly flew over and landed on her sleeve, sucking the lifelike rose on her sleeve.
"Puchi! Hahaha..." A clear laughter as clear as a silver bell sounded, startling the little butterfly. The little butterfly flew around and then turned back without giving up.
This made Shangguan Yue even happier. Li Ruomei's embroidery skills were truly extraordinary. Even the little butterfly couldn't tell the real one from the fake one.
Shangguan Yue's laughter made everyone who was with her smile. Working for the eldest lady not only paid a high monthly salary, but also the eldest lady, although usually more majestic, would not punish servants without reason.
Rewards and punishments are clear, and things are done fairly. Not only do the servants eat well, but they also live well. They will not give them food casually or make them sleep next to the door just because they are servants.
Instead, he gets to eat the same food as the young lady and stay in an inn. It's simply a godly life, so everyone wants to get close to the young lady.
Shangguan Yue's smile almost exposed Xiao Yunteng. That smile even overshadowed the scenery around her and was more gorgeous than the rose on her body.
No matter how many words of praise Xiao Yunteng had in his mind, they could not describe Yue'er's beautiful smile. Sometimes serious, sometimes lazy, sometimes cold, sometimes lively, sometimes majestic, sometimes cute...
He had fallen without realizing it.
In his imagination, the road to the farm was far behind him, and the winding mountain road in front was like a long silver snake, winding around the towering mountain.
"Miss, there is a mountain road ahead, it is a bit rugged, please sit tight."
The driver sat up straight and drove the carriage seriously. This mountain road was not easy to drive on. There was a cliff on one side of the road. He had to be alert and could not drive leisurely like on the road in the farm.
Xiao Yunteng pinched both sides of his face and became alert. This road was not easy to walk on, and he was most afraid that some wild beast would appear and scare the horse.
But he, with his extremely sensitive hearing and senses, felt something unusual. On a normal mountain road, there would be birds singing and insects chirping from time to time, but he noticed that he could not hear any birds singing or insects chirping within dozens of feet of the road. Something was wrong!
There is an ambush! He wanted to shout! But he held back. Yue'er is kind and will not offend anyone, so naturally she will not have any enemies.
But what if they are bandits? No, the aura is not that of ordinary bandits. These people are all masters. Could they be dead soldiers? Maybe they are not the ones they are waiting for.
He won't move if the enemy doesn't move. Maybe he's just a passerby, there's no need to cause trouble.
"Miss, something is wrong. We seem to be ambushed. Please sit still, hold on tight, and don't come out."
The secret guard drew a long sword from his back, floated to the side of the carriage, and spoke in a deep voice to Shangguan Yue through the window.
When Shangguan Yue heard the news, her face darkened. Sure enough, what was coming would come sooner or later. Let her see who it is, whether it is a human or a ghost!
She will have no problem protecting herself, but Bai Zhi, the coachman, and the guards following her cannot be left behind, and they must return safely.
I didn't expect these people to come out just after Xiao Lan left. Although her martial arts skills are not high, her sensitivity is not bad either. A lot of people have been mobilized!
It seems that the person who came is determined to capture her successfully, but does he want to capture her alive or kill her?
She was still careless. If she had known earlier, she should not have just focused on making money, but should have made more weapons. Guns are just beginning to be manufactured, and even if they are made, they still have to be tested.
She can't rely on guns alone, she also has to make cannons, bombs, and other highly lethal weapons to intimidate people.
The guards in front and behind the carriage also noticed something was wrong. They drew their swords from their waists and carefully protected the carriage.
With a long whistle, fifty or sixty people flew out from both sides of the mountain road and surrounded the carriage. They were all dressed in black, but five of them had their collars embroidered with gold thread.
It was obvious at first glance that the levels were different. Shangguan Yue looked at the power-dispersing powder in the space. This was given to her by old man Zhuge for self-defense. It had been four or five years, and she wondered if it had lost its effect.
There were too many people on the other side, and it was impossible for the enemy to just stand there and let her sprinkle the powder. Even if she sprinkled the powder on some of them, if the others captured someone to threaten her, she still wouldn't be able to save them.
If she was captured obediently, the guards and grooms would be of no use to them and would certainly be killed. Bai Zhi might be a tool they used to test her, so her life should not be in danger.
She was careless. She had lived too comfortably in her past and present lives and had forgotten the complexity of ancient times. Under the imperial power, her father held a high official position and she had a very high status.
In the eyes of the royal family, wealth brings trouble, being too rich is a disaster, and being too poor is despised.
Today, she would either be threatened and captured by them, or escape into the space by herself.
The first choice is a dilemma, while the other choice will lead to lifelong guilt.
Watching six guards being surrounded and knocked to the ground by more than a dozen people in a short moment, the other two secret guards, although very skilled in martial arts, were soon at a disadvantage when facing twenty or thirty people.
The five masked men in black with gold patterns embroidered on their collars thought the other men in black were too slow, and seemed to want to show off their fighting power in front of them.
Five men jumped up, shooed away the others, and attacked the two secret guards with bare hands. It was like a gust of wind, and the two secret guards vomited blood and fell to the ground. Shangguan Yue's carriage next to them was also affected by the palm wind, shook a few times, and almost fell apart.
Shangguan Yue in the car almost hit the wooden board. Bai Zhi screamed and protected Shangguan Yue. Seeing that Shangguan Yue was fine, Bai Zhi was still frightened but felt relieved.
This was a disaster, the entire army was wiped out, and she and Bai Zhi became lambs to be slaughtered. She still tried to pull Bai Zhi to hide in the space. Her life was more important, and it didn't matter if she was exposed. Bai Zhi was also her confidant.
It's just that two living people disappeared in front of dozens of people. It's too weird. I wonder if they will think she is a monster. The general's mansion will not be peaceful in the future. Xiao Shen will definitely cause trouble.
Now Xiao Shen is somehow able to restrain the old emperor, and it will be very difficult to peel him off once he is entangled by this poisonous snake.
Unless she sent everyone to Zi Yan Country, not everyone would be willing to leave their homeland and go to a foreign country.
Besides, the business empire she had created with great efforts in South Vietnam was going to be handed over to others. The real estate could not be moved away! She was unwilling to accept this! Just thinking about it made her feel sad.
"Someone, come here! Take care of them all, and catch the two people in the carriage!"
One of the men with a gold-patterned collar, with a voice like a drake, ordered the other men in black to kill the guards and secret guards.
"Wait, I'll come out by myself!"
When Shangguan Yue heard that they were going to deal with her guards, she could not stay any longer. She would be killed if she stuck her head out, and she would be killed if she hid her head. She could not bear to see her people die in front of her.
Baizhi lifted the door curtain and glared at the gang of thieves.
Shangguan Yue calmed herself down and slowly walked out of the carriage. She had to stay calm and find a way to spread the medicine. If she could save as many people as possible, she could run into the woods and bring them into the space.
