Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Even if both sides exert force, the guqin may not be able to be saved.

Zhou Chang was even more overwhelmed and suddenly let go.

Xiao Bing leaned back.

"Bang." The guqin fell to the ground.

Zhou Chang picked up the copper kettle at his feet and smashed it hard at Xiao Bing's forehead.

Xiao Bing was knocked to the ground twice.

Zhou Chang threw down the kettle, picked up the guqin on the ground, turned around and fled desperately towards Chaotian Temple.

Action comes before thinking, Zhou Chang has no other choice.

There were few people on the mountain road at this time. If he wanted to ask for help, there was only one way to go. No matter what, he had to escape from Xiao Bing's clutches first.

The copper kettle was not big but had some weight.

Xiao Bing was knocked dizzy and was stunned for a few breaths before he could barely get up from the ground.

The two thugs behind him were not his subordinates, but debt collectors from the casino. They were afraid that he would run away, so they had been following him for the past few days. Therefore, they just watched from behind and were unwilling to take any action.

"Follow me, that zither is worth the most money." Xiao Bing was unwilling to give up, and as he said this he chased in the direction of Zhou Chang.

The two thugs behind had no objection, but they were only willing to stay a few steps behind.

Zhou Chang ran forward desperately, carrying the guqin back on his back as he ran.

Things went against her wishes and she got off to a bad start. She had nothing left except the piano.

Although Xiao Lan is tall and has long legs, she is a woman after all, with limited physical strength, and her running speed is not very fast.

He hadn't run far when Xiao Bing was almost catching up from behind.

Feeling desperate, he began to think about taking a gamble.

It would be better to actually jump off the steep slope, either to die or to escape from the clutches of the devil.

But even if she is not afraid of death, what about Xiao Lan?

After what happened, Zhou Chang also began to learn to be cautious. What qualifications did she have to decide life and death for others?

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from the distance.

Under the orange sunset, a dark red and silver carriage came towards us on the mountain road on the downhill side.

Zhou Chang immediately saw his savior and rushed towards the carriage regardless of anything: "Help, help, there are bandits, help."

Hearing the shouts, the driver first slowed down the speed of the coach, and finally stopped a few steps away. Two gray-clothed guards with broad swords on their waists jumped down from the front and back.

Zhou Chang ran over desperately and bumped into the front shaft of the carriage. He didn't have time to catch his breath. "Help, help, there are bandits robbing us."

The door curtain of the car was immediately opened, and a person stuck half of his face out.

A young woman in the car asked, "Uncle He, who is that?"

The voice was so familiar, just like the first time Zhou Chang heard it, clear and melodious, as if it floated down from the sky.

"Help, help me." Zhou Chang grabbed hold of a straw like a drowning man, and immediately recognized the face of the general manager He Xi.

He Xi lifted the car door curtain with one hand, and seemed to recognize Zhou Chang: "You look familiar, but who is that...?"

Zhou Chang heard footsteps and shouts coming from behind him. Xiao Bing and the other three were about to catch up. In a hurry, he could not care less: "I am a woman, I am a woman, save me, save me."

I don't know why, but it just came out of my mouth.

She seemed to be certain in her heart before she opened her mouth that if Yuan Qi knew she was a woman, he would definitely save her.

Sure enough, without a moment's hesitation, a low voice inside the car ordered, "Let her get in."

"Yes." The guard stepped aside.

Zhou Chang climbed onto the carriage regardless.

Xiao Bing had already caught up, but slowed down when he saw the carriage. Then he saw the guards with knives in front of him, so he hesitated for a moment and did not dare to move forward.

Zhou Chang got into the carriage and put the guqin behind him on the ground, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the carriage, the driver whipped the horse to start the journey, and the two guards jumped back into the carriage one after the other and continued to move forward.

Zhou Chang sat down in the carriage, breathing heavily.

He Xi sat opposite him, pinching his fingers and looking at him carefully: "This..., counting with fingers, we have met once, but, is Master Xiao really...?"

Yuan Qi was even more direct: "Are you really the zither player Xiao Lan who is known as the 'national player'?"

"Yes." Zhou Chang had nothing to be afraid of admitting at this point.

"You just said you were a woman?" Although Yuan Qi asked this, he seemed to have the answer in his heart.

"Yes." Zhou Chang admitted in a low voice, and then pleaded, "Please, help me, I can't go back to the city."

Zhou Chang had no plans to go back when she left the city in the morning. Once she entered the city, she would have nowhere to go. If she returned to the Jiaofang Bureau, Xiao Bing would definitely come to her house.

Now that things have fallen out with Xiao Bing, there is no way back.

Yuan Qi frowned slightly and did not agree directly. Instead, he asked, "Master Xiao Qin, what is this..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the guard at the back of the carriage suddenly report in a low voice: "Not good, Young Master, they have a carriage, and the three people just now seem to be following them."

Xiao Bing and the other two followed Zhou Chang all the way. When Zhou Chang hired a carriage in the city, they naturally had to follow behind and hire one as well.

Zhou Chang's heart, which had just been half relieved, became tense again.

"Let them follow for a while. Since they didn't dare to come up just now, they probably won't dare to do anything rash now." Yuan Qi said after thinking for a while.

"Miss Yuan, please save me." Zhou Chang was already at a loss.

"Do you know me?" Yuan Qi suddenly became suspicious.

"Ah? No," Zhou Chang just let it slip by accident, and thought of an excuse quickly in his mind, "I have seen this carriage of the young lady before, and someone mentioned it to me, so I made a rash guess, I don't know if it is right. If I guessed wrong, please forgive me."

This statement is half true and half false, and very far-fetched.

Yuan Qi frowned even more tightly: "Why did my carriage attract the attention of Master Xiao Qin?"

Zhou Chang was so flustered that he couldn't come back with an excuse, so he could only change the subject: "Miss Yuan, if it's inconvenient for you, at least help me go around the city and chase the carriage. I will be very grateful."

Yuan Qi then asked, "Why is Master Xiao Qin being chased by these people?"

Since Zhou Chang had already admitted that she was dressed as a man, there was nothing else to hide. He lowered his voice and briefly recounted Xiao Lan's past and recent events.

After hearing this, Yuan Qi lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he looked up again and asked, "Are they still following us?"

"Yes." The guard outside answered.

Yuan Qi looked at He Xi again and said, "Uncle He, there are still people in the west village, right?"

"There are people, but..." He Xi hesitated without thinking, "Young Master, I calculated with my fingers that it's not good to go out to the southwest today. What are you going to do?"

Yuan Qi did not answer, but said: "Uncle He, let's stay at the farm tonight."

“…” He Xi didn’t say anything, but he obviously disapproved.

"It's okay, Uncle He, just do as I say." Yuan Qi's voice used to be clear, but now whenever she spoke, her tone was weak and tired.

He Xi had no choice but to tell the driver, "Go to Nanxianzhuang."

"Yes." The driver agreed and increased the speed of the car.

"Thank you, Miss Yuan, for your kindness. I..." Zhou Chang wanted to say that he would try his best to repay her, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that he was still Xiao Lan, so he changed it to, "I will never forget Xiao Lan. If I can't repay you in this life, I will repay you in the next life."

"There's no need to talk about all this," Yuan Qi said in a very light voice, "You just said that man wanted five hundred taels of silver?"

"Yes," Zhou Chang nodded. He knew Yuan Qi was not short of money and asked this to help him. However, he also reminded him, "Xiao Bing is greedy. Even if you give him more money this time, he will not give up."

Yuan Qi nodded, agreeing with this statement: "That's right, so we have to think of a way to completely cut it off."

This is the truth, but other than killing people, what other ways can we eliminate the trouble forever? "I am tired of this life of not being a billionaire;

Collect them at will and achieve common prosperity. "
