Chapter 21: Sharing the Sangma with You Chapter 20

The escort tried to stop her several times, but the girl stamped her feet and swung her sleeves in disgrace. The old woman in the caravan spoke up and gave the woman some money and some food to send her away.

The girl smiled.

Although the speed was not fast along the way, they rarely stopped. When they found a dilapidated temple to stop at night, Lan Hanlu could finally go out and take a walk.

With the help of the guards, the nanny and the maid set up a bonfire and a stove. Lan Hanlu asked the nanny to take out a bag of flour and planned to make some dumpling soup.

There happened to be some dried vegetables and bacon to add some flavor.

Originally, these guards were planning to boil some water and eat some dry food, but when they saw this situation, they all laughed and stuffed their dry food back.

This was because they rarely encountered inns during their journey and often had to sleep in the open in the car. As for food, they did not expect the return trip would be so slow, so their preparations were a little insufficient.

Fortunately, Lan Hanlu had experience and knew that not only were they ill-prepared, but also that the city gates were tightly closed due to the surge in refugees.

It is quite difficult to enter a city. Although they have tokens and promotions, they still have to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.

So when we usually pass by a town, we just send people in to buy some supplies. Some towns are rich, and you can't buy anything there.

Even if he bought a grown man's idea, it was not comprehensive enough. This shows that the two trucks of supplies brought by Hanlu have room for use.

The two carts were like treasure chests, with everything you need. It made the guards following her feel embarrassed.

As soon as the aroma of the pot began to rise, Lan Hanlu hurriedly arranged for everyone to have a large bowl. The leading guard, Li, hurried over and saluted politely.

"Madam, my brothers and I were supposed to take care of you along the way, but you had to take extra care of us so that we wouldn't have to suffer so much."

"What are you talking about, Wei Jian? Without you and your brothers to protect me, I, a woman, would have no idea whether I could walk out of the village alive."

These people must be taught well. To be trusted by the emperor and serve as his guards, their family background and personal abilities should not be underestimated.

"Madam, you are so polite. Protecting you is the emperor's will, and it is also our duty." Looking at the person who was talking and laughing, the Wei guard didn't dare to look up.

"Then let's not be polite and hurry up. The sooner we get to the capital, the faster we can send you off. Not only do we have to hurry along the way, but we also have to be on guard against those bad guys. We really can't relax for a moment."

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her tone of voice was filled with a faint sigh, which made people want to comfort her. Fortunately, Guard Wei had been with the emperor for a long time, so his composure was extraordinary.

But he also secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that such a woman entering the capital would cause a lot of trouble. However, none of this had anything to do with him, so he should just do his duty. At least such a woman was not something he could covet.

So he called out to everyone to eat and drink quickly so that they could have a rest and not delay their journey tomorrow.

Just as the meal was brought to their hands and before they had time to take a bite, they heard a crackling sound in the distance. The group of people quickly put down their bowls, stood up, holding the blade in one hand and the handle in the other.

They looked outside the door warily. The guards outside even drew their swords and looked back at the road they came from. In the distance, they saw the convoy following them in the dust.

But now it is no longer as shiny and neat as before. The whole convoy is running in a hurry. Looking closely, not only are two cars missing, but there are also many injured people.

The cries of women and children could be heard from afar, and everyone in the dilapidated temple came out. They also saw the convoy in such a miserable state.

"Let's go in quickly and gather our things together, making some space to prevent these people from coming in and causing any conflicts." It's not that they are afraid of them, but they want to avoid disputes as much as possible.

Wei Jian quickly gave orders. It was obvious that those people were not very clear-headed, so they should not get involved with them. What if they were implicated?

In two minutes, this group of people also arrived at the dilapidated temple. The crying became louder, and a group of young and old were helped into the dilapidated temple.

At this time, the naive young girl was supporting a white-haired old lady, but both of them were not in good condition. The old lady was weak and the young girl had a wound on her neck.

It looked like someone had scratched it. Women in that era paid special attention to their appearance, and having scars on their bodies was a fatal thing.

Seeing that this group of people posed no threat, the guards hurried back and picked up their bowls to prepare to eat. As the sound of chewing filled the air, the aroma spread.

An old voice ordered, "Second brother's family, hurry up and clean up. Let's cook. After dinner, have a good rest. Don't delay your journey tomorrow."

While saying this, he glanced over here intentionally or unintentionally.

After hearing the order, these people started to act. After a while, they set up several pots. Judging from the ingredients they brought and the cooking movements, they should be divided into two groups to eat, one for the host family and the other for the bodyguards and servants.

The escort nodded, ate some thin porridge, and ate some dry food to make do with his meal. The host family was cooking both stewed rice and stir-fried dishes.

The second son's wife was directing things, and several maids and servants were busy at work. At this time, the little girl looked at Lan Hanlu and the others with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

She thought it was Lan Hanlu. They didn't remind her, which caused them to lose a carriage and a lot of supplies. What was even more hateful was that she was injured and there was no effective medicine here. What if she got a scar?

Lan Hanlu didn't know what she was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. There were many people who disliked her, so who was he?

At this moment, a clever little guard came running over. "Hey, Brother Wei, do you know why those people are in such a miserable state?"

Wei Jian glanced at him sideways and continued to eat. The guards didn't care at all. They moved forward and continued. "After the group was robbed by that woman, they took some silver and food and were about to send them away when they called over a group of about 100 to 200 victims and surrounded them.

Those people came up and grabbed people and refused to let go, as if they were risking their lives. The escorts even fought back, and those young ladies and masters were almost stripped naked.

He took another mouthful of the dumpling soup in his bowl and continued, "What's worse, a few young and strong men targeted a wagon loaded with supplies, and when they saw the wagon was about to escape, they killed the horses in the wagon.

If the escort hadn't injured a few people directly, it's hard to say whether they could come out. "
