[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower
Chapter 43 The seller seeks glory
In Xiangyang County, thousands of miles away from Hongya Village, under the cover of night, a group of men in black were chasing a horse-drawn carriage.
"Hurry, hurry, don't let the people in front run away."
The leader in black gave an order, and the horses that the men in black were riding were driven very fast.
The gray-clothed man driving the carriage in front held a sword in one hand and the reins in the other. Under the snow, blood was faintly visible on his right shoulder.
In the carriage, the two little boys hugged each other tightly.
"Brother, I'm afraid."
The younger boy's eyes were filled with panic, and tears were hanging on his face, about to fall.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Jian is here, we will be fine."
The older boy also wanted to cry like his younger brother, but he couldn't because he knew that if he cried, his younger brother would be even more scared.
The carriage was soon surrounded by men in black from behind and could not move at all.
"Xiao Jian, I respect you as a man, so stop struggling. Hand over the two children in the car, and I'll leave you with an intact body."
"Liu He, you betrayed your master and even wanted to take the prince's grandson to your new master to claim the reward. The prince has been very kind to us, don't you feel any pangs of conscience for doing this?
Oh, I forgot. How can a person who betrays his master and seeks fame, who is worse than pigs and dogs, have a "heart"?
Xiao Jian smiled coldly. He and Liu He had been begging together in Hengyang City. When they were almost starving to death, a prince who passed by saw that they were very young and felt sorry for them, so he took them back home.
The prince gave them enough food and hired someone to teach them martial arts. When they grew up, they became the prince's personal guards.
This traitorous bastard actually defected to the prince's enemy and put letters of communication in the prince's study, leaving the prince speechless.
"Conscience? The virtuous king is a traitor to the Red Moon Nation. The emperor has summoned him to exterminate his entire family. I have been meritorious in reporting him, so how can I be called a pig or a dog?
Xiao Jian, I was thinking of your loyalty and wanted to leave you an intact body, but since you don't want it, don't blame me for being merciless."
Liu He waved his hand, and several men in black attacked Xiao Jian. Although Xiao Jian's shoulder was injured, he was very powerful and was able to fight against dozens of men in black, and even had the upper hand.
But he was not happy at all. As long as Liu He stuck to him, he was afraid it would be difficult to get rid of him. Therefore, he did not want to fight and after assassinating the two men in black.
He found a gap, turned back to the carriage, mounted the carriage, and galloped away into the distance.
"Okay, run, right? I'll see where you run and shoot me."
A group of men in black rode their horses and shot arrows at the same time. The carriage in front was hit by a rain of arrows. Fortunately, this carriage had been specially treated and the rain of arrows did not penetrate it.
But this could not eliminate the danger. Xiao Jian knew that his horse was heavier with the axle and could not run faster than the good horses under Liu He.
"Two young masters, come to me."
When passing a forest, Xiao Jian spoke to the two children in the car. The two children were very well-behaved and obedient. After hearing Xiao Jian's words, they quickly came to Xiao Jian's side.
Xiao Jian seized the opportunity, holding the two children, jumped off the carriage and leaped into the woods. He tried his best to protect the two children and rolled down the hillside with them.
He was moving very fast, and because of the terrain blocking his way, Liu He behind him did not see them. They rolled down the hillside. Xiao Jian did not bother to check if the two children were injured. He carried the two children and fled into the mountains.
The carriage had no one driving it and was soon caught up by Liu He's men.
"Boss, it's bad. There's no one in the carriage."
The horse pulling the carriage had been killed by Liu He's men. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing that it was empty.
"Find it for me. Without the carriage, Xiao Jian and the two children can't go far."
The two children held by Xiao Jian did not dare to stop at all and kept walking and walking. After walking for a long time, the older child in his arms raised his head.
"Uncle Jian, you are injured. Let's take a rest."
Uncle Jian led them to escape from the capital, and he had not slept for several days and nights. Uncle Jian's body was still bleeding, and there was no time to treat it. His hand, which was on Uncle Jian's wound, could hardly hold the pressure.
"Master, we can't stop. I'm going to take you to Xuzhou tonight to pick up your people. They'll be waiting for us there."
"Uncle Jian, brother, someone is chasing us."
The younger children pointed at the people who were trying to catch up in the distance.
Xiao Jian put the two children on the ground.
"Young Masters, run quickly. I'll cover your retreat. Eldest Young Master, remember what I say."
The older children nodded, while the younger ones were scared and pulled at Xiao Jian's clothes, unwilling to let go.
The older child pulled his younger brother over and bowed to Xiao Jian.
"Uncle Jian, take care."
After saying that, he dragged his brother and ran away. Liu He caught up with them and saw that only Xiao Jian stopped them in advance.
"Xiao Jian, where are those two children?"
Xiao Jian didn't answer, but drew out the sword in his hand and blocked Liu He's way.
In the Fulai Inn in Xuzhou City, a very tall man has been sitting in the lobby for three days, and his brows are getting more furrowed day by day.
After he received the news, he braved the wind and snow to rush to meet the call, but he had been waiting for three days, and the person who was supposed to arrive had not arrived yet.
"You two little beggars from there, our Fulai Inn is also the place where you little beggars should come."
While he was thinking, he heard the voice of the waiter of Fulai Inn driving away a beggar at the door of the inn. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the red rope tied around the beggar, his eyes were shocked.
He hurried outside and saw two beggars trying to rush into the Fulai Inn. When the innkeeper was about to beat the two little beggars, he caught up with them.
"Kids, are you hungry?"
He was half bent over, and a piece of broken jade on his waist swayed as he bent over.
The big beggar pulled the small beggar, glanced at the broken jade on the man's waist, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, can you buy my brother a steamed bun? We are so hungry. I will work like a slave for you."
The man stared at the two little beggars' eyes and brows.
"Alright, since I feel sorry for you, I'm going to go back and relax today. Just follow me."
The shop assistant looked at the man and the little beggar, wanting to say something, but finally shook his head. Recently, there have been many beggars in Xuzhou city who have kidnapped and sold little beggars.
But he couldn't stop it. He was just an inn waiter and had an eighty-year-old mother to support at home. Even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't.
The man took the two little beggars to the bun shop and bought a dozen meat buns. He gave two meat buns to each of the two little beggars.
The two little beggars did not bite off the meat impatiently, but took a small bite slowly.
The two men's movements were very graceful. If it weren't for their tattered clothes, they wouldn't look like two little beggars, but rather like young masters carefully brought up by a wealthy family.
"Eat my food and follow me."
The man didn't even look at the two little beggars. He just left these words and walked out of the city carrying a dozen meat buns.
