A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

"If you don't take Dingxiang with you, who will take care of you? We don't know what they're going to do yet. Maybe nothing will happen at all. Okay, go back to sleep first. Dali and I will arrange for an escort for tomorrow."

Gui'er could only nod and walk out.

"By the way, Gui'er." Sha Yanxiao stopped her and said seriously, "Don't tell anyone about this, including Taohua and Dingxiang."

Guier nodded obediently and returned to her room.

Dingxiang was waiting for her. When she saw her come in, she said to her, "Miss, you have packed your luggage. You don't have much stuff anyway. Is there anything else you need to take?"

Gui'er was in no mood to bother with the luggage. She glanced at it and said, "Okay. By the way, this trip back home is quite sudden. Do you need to say goodbye to your family?"

Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I've already come back more this year than in previous years. Besides, my parents are just saying something. At my age now, I have to find a husband quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get married. I don't like to hear that."

Guier looked at her and smiled, saying, "Then go and get some rest."

After Dingxiang left, she changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed. The news she received tonight made her toss and turn.

If it were any other time, she would definitely try her best to tell Song Xichen the news, but if she went out now, it was so late and would definitely attract other people's attention.

I can only wait until I return to Nanjing and pass the news back to Jiangcheng through Xu Wenjie. No matter what the Duanmu family is doing by sending these thugs here, it is definitely an unstable factor. It may be sabotage or espionage. Song Xichen must be warned.

The next morning, Guier got up and packed her things. She specially picked out a grass green Xiaofengxian cheongsam, and then put on a pair of cloth shoes that were convenient for walking, so that in case of any conflict, it would be convenient for her to run.

Sha Yanxiao asked Dali to drive to the gate of the Marshal's Mansion and meet up with the eldest son and Director Tian's car.

After they met up, he didn't leave immediately, but called Sha Yanyao aside and whispered to him.

Gui'er guessed that it was Sha Yanyao who was told that the Duanmu family had brought thugs over.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Sha Yanyao's face darkened. He trotted over to Director Tian and whispered a few words into his ear. Director Tian didn't seem to take it seriously, just waved his hand away, smiled, said a few words, and then got into the car as usual.

Sha Yanxiao returned to his car, and Guier asked, "Director Tian, ​​don't you believe it?"

Sha Yanxiao sighed and said, "It's not that he doesn't believe it, he's just too confident in himself. Calling a few traitors won't do anything to him."

The convoy set off randomly. Guier saw that this time the number of escorting military vehicles had increased from one to two, and both were covered tightly.

Gui'er said to Sha Yanxiao, "Brother, why don't you find a carport like this? If we cover the military vehicles, people won't be able to see how many people are inside, but our own soldiers won't be able to see what's happening outside either. Isn't that too dangerous?"

Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry. There's a peephole in the car. I've already ordered everyone to shoot if anything seems amiss. No need to report again."

"What, what's wrong? What's shooting?" Dingxiang seemed to sense something was wrong and asked a little nervously.

"Do your job well and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Guier quietly patted the back of Dingxiang's hand to comfort her.

The car started and drove along the familiar road. Everything went smoothly along the way.

Soon they arrived at the mountain road between Jiangcheng and Fengcheng, which is usually the most dangerous.

Gui'er was a little nervous, and couldn't help but glance out the window all the time, especially at the dense grass and trees on the roadside, always worried that someone might be hiding behind them. The convoy also slowed down deliberately.

Fortunately, they escaped unharmed and were about to enter Fengcheng. Gui'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the thugs brought by the Duanmu family were not targeting them. It was more likely that they stayed in the city to do espionage activities.

"Bang." "Bang bang bang"

Suddenly, there was a gunshot, followed by intensive gunfire. Before Gui'er could react where the gunfire came from, the car they were riding in suddenly turned around and rushed into the dense forest beside the road.

"Ahhh." Dingxiang thought she had been in a car accident and screamed in fear. After the car stopped, she was still screaming and struggling, and tried to open the door to get out.

Gui'er grabbed her, covered her mouth, and said, "Don't scream, it will attract them."

"Bang, bang." "Boom"

There was an explosion not far away.

Guier quickly looked in the direction of the explosion, but did not see any car overturned or damaged. It was probably a homemade bomb with little power.

However, there were several people lying on the road, all soldiers in military uniforms. It seemed the earth-fired bomb had caused casualties.

"Da Li, come with me." Sha Yanxiao pulled out his pistol, opened the car door, and prepared to get out.

"Brother, where are you going?" Guier asked subconsciously.

"You stay here, Cheng, and protect them both."

"Yes." Ah Cheng pulled out a pistol from his waist, loaded it and stood on guard.

Sha Yanxiao rushed out with Dali, commanding the soldiers to fight back while asking a few people to cover the stopped car and let the people in the car take shelter in the woods on the side of the road.

Gui'er glanced at the road. On one side was a dense forest, on the other a steep hillside. The ambushers were located on the hillside, and the steepness of the slope was a significant advantage for them. They must have observed the terrain, compared it, and chosen the most advantageous spot.

Although Sha Yanxiao commanded everyone to fight back, the enemy not only had pistols and machine guns, but also bombs. For a while, they couldn't rush forward.

"Bang, bang, bang" "Bang, bang, bang, bang"

The dense gunfire rang out one after another, and Guier couldn't tell which side had the advantage.

Suddenly, the gunfire stopped.

Guier looked outside through the car window, but because the dense grass blocked her view a lot, she had no idea what was happening outside.

"How is the fight going? Why is there suddenly no sound?" she asked anxiously. She was afraid that Sha Yanxiao had lost.

There was silence all around.

"Guier, brother, mother, come out." Sha Yanxiao's voice came.

Gui'er knew that Sha Yanxiao's side must have won the fight. She breathed a sigh of relief and ran out quickly.

When we walked out of the woods, we saw two bodies of soldiers lying on the road.

"Oh my god, someone's dead." Mrs. Tian and the others came out. She screamed when she saw the body, and Miss Tian quickly supported her.

Guier saw that some soldiers were injured, some in the head, some in the hands and feet.

She didn't care about anything else and quickly asked Dingxiang to bring out the white medicine she had always carried with her. This was given to her by Manager Liu. Every time she went on a long trip, she would always put it together with her clothes in case of emergency.
