The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation
Chapter 30: Force Carriage
Regret means great regret. If she could go back to that day, she would definitely choose to ride in a carriage alone, instead of being stranded in the wilderness with a fragile item by her side.
From her uncle, she learned that this elder brother was not from here and had come to Kyoto to seek medical advice. Lu Yun understood this very well, as there was no better medical resource in the world than in a capital city.
For a patient like him, Lu Yun was quite forgiving of his punctuality in coming to see her do horse stance every day, especially after she finished her last set of boxing. The Ping'an Marquis's residence was considered middle-class among the nobles, and their breakfast had never been this sumptuous. Small golden buns, paper-wrapped shrimp dumplings, thumb-sized soup dumplings, and a variety of side dishes and soups filled the table.
With her brother around, she could happily eat until she was eight-tenths full every day. The rest of the time, Lu Yun tried to keep her distance from him, mainly because she was afraid he would say, "Because I think it's weird."
"Is your young lady really only three years old?" Liuzi was incredulous. The entire table of food had been eaten up cleanly. His master had only used half a bowl of stalk rice and a small piece of milk-skin steamed bun, and the rest went into the little girl's stomach.
Cai He was used to it and didn't find it strange. She gave Liu Zi a look that said, "My daughter won't be four until next July after the Chinese New Year."
"Have you seen a doctor?" As soon as Liuzi said this, he was given a cold look by the other party.
"My young lady is plump and healthy." Unlike your young master, who is so old but eats so little, no wonder he is sick all the time. Cai He lowered her voice and advised gently, "Don't be afraid to see a doctor."
Liuzi crossed her arms in grievance and said, "What do you, a little maid, know? His master is about to eat the medicine as a meal."
Zhou Boxuan's complexion became better day by day. During this period, the old monk came several times and adjusted the prescription.
Lu Yun counted the days on her fingers. There was still a month until the Chinese New Year, and half a month before she returned home. She drank the medicine soup brought by Caihe in one gulp and stuck out her tongue. This time the medicine actually had a sweet aftertaste.
Suddenly, a royal blue figure walked in. It was the uncle who had disappeared for nearly half a month! He walked quickly into the room, and when he came out, he reached out and picked up Lu Yun. "Sister Yun, have you been good these days?"
From this angle, she could clearly see the stubble on her uncle's face and the dark blue bags under his eyes. He looked like a programmer who had been pulling all-nighters writing code, exhausted and a little broken.
"Uncle, Sister Yun is very obedient." Lu Yun answered obediently.
"My uncle will give you a reward and take you to another place to play, okay?" Zhang Yulin cheered and persuaded.
Can she say no? Of course not. Thank you for taking my feelings into consideration during your busy schedule.
Once again, she was packed into a carriage, but this time she wasn't alone; Zhou Boli was also sitting inside. A ten-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl were enclosed in the same space. Lu Yun uncomfortably scratched the castle with her feet, feeling awkward.
The carriage wall swayed slightly, and they had already set off. Lu Yun suppressed the thought of changing carriages and began to observe her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.
"You--" Before he could finish his words, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard outside the carriage, followed by bursts of metal collision sounds, accompanied by screams.
This familiar voice reminded her of a classic TV drama scene—an assassination. Lu Yun, feeling something was amiss, shakily lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked out. She saw dozens of masked men in black surrounding the carriage. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, with knives clashing and goji berries splattered everywhere.
Masked men kept trying to get close to the carriage, only to be knocked to the ground by the guards nearby. Wait, where are the guards coming from? Lu Yun looked at Zhou Boli, who was sitting there tense, with a complicated look. "Brother, you have quite a few little secrets, too," he said.
Suddenly, a silver light pierced through the curtains and pierced through. "Be careful!" Zhou Boli's voice rang out at the same time, and Lu Yun narrowly dodged the sword with a turn of her head. Perhaps having heard the movement inside the carriage, the attack that followed was even more fierce than before.
Once again dodging the sharp blade, Lu Yun's resentment was as tangible as "You - Ah Ah Ah"
Someone startled the horse, and it bolted forward like an arrow. Lu Yun was flung backward by inertia, but she reacted quickly, turning and shoving one hand against the wall behind her. With a thud, she managed to steady herself just half an arm's length away from Zhou Boli. Lu Yun thought to herself, fortunately, otherwise, Zhou Boli would have been crushed to death before she had even gotten far.
Although Zhou Boli broke out in a cold sweat, he managed to remain calm. "The carriage frame is made of fine steel, the interior is made of wood, and the space between the two is filled with cotton. Unless we fall off a cliff, we just need to stay in the carriage. When the horses get tired, we will be able to escape safely."
As he finished speaking, the carriage drifted again. Lu Yun clung to the carriage and looked out the window. What was ahead if not a cliff? "Ancestor, please stop talking." Zhou Boli's face was as pale as paper, and he also huddled tightly in a corner of the carriage.
At that moment, the front of the carriage suddenly shook violently. As the two men watched in horror, a "crack" sounded, and the connection between the carriage and the horse completely broke apart. As the world spun, Lu Yun's intuition told her that the person before her was extremely important. Regardless of whether it would be useful or not, she used all her strength to secure the person beneath her.
Something embarrassing happened.
Almost at the same time when Lu Yun pounced, the carriage stopped rolling, and the two of them stared at each other.
I'm still young, I'm still young, Lu Yun muttered a few words to herself, and climbed out of the car as if nothing had happened.
The good news was that they fell onto a relatively flat slope, a short distance from the cliff, and they could see the mountain road above. The bad news was that the carriage was very conspicuous, and the enemy could see them at a glance even from the mountain road.
To conceal their tracks!!!! While Lu Yun was thinking of this, Zhou Boli had already grabbed the crossbar of the carriage and tried to drag it. Unfortunately, his face flushed red, and the veins on his neck were bulging, but he still couldn't move the carriage at all.
Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and tugged at Zhou Boli's sleeve. "I have a way." Her big grape-like eyes looked at her. Zhou Boli was panting and sweating profusely. "What—" He put down his arms, his pupils constricted as he looked at the scene in front of him.
The little girl, whose height was only up to her waist, stood in a horse stance and lifted the crossbeam in front of the carriage with both hands, as if pulling a branch. She easily dragged the carriage to the edge of the cliff and gave it a gentle push. With a loud collision sound between the carriage and the cliff, the carriage disappeared into the bottomless ravine.
It was getting dark at this time, and most of the hillside was gravel. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice any signs of the carriage rolling or dragging.
Probably because he was extremely tired, Zhou Boli was shocked. "You——"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Zhou Boli stopped talking and quickly pulled his men to a spot on the cliff edge where the weeds were half a man's height. As expected, the group of people and horses had not noticed anything unusual about this place. When they passed by, they just rode away at full speed.
"Huh." Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and touched the pouch on her chest. Fortunately, her small pouch was still there.
