Chapter five hundred and eighty eight bandits
The night is dark and the wind is high, and the wolf roars...
Alas ~
In the dark forest, there are shadows of chaos shaking.
Everyone in the convoy was used to it, and without any surprise, they had a short knife on their waists, sitting next to the fire, eating slowly while talking nonsense about the strange things of gods and ghosts.
Cao Bianjiao stood on a stone not far away, looking down at the surroundings from a high place.
Wang Qiongyu was very quiet all the way, and only occasionally spoke. At this moment, she sat upright next to the fire and watched the flames quietly tracing.
Li Rujing knocked his head on his knees and looked at the flames in a daze, his eyes a little dull and confused.
Zhu Xu was quite curious about both of them. He thought for a moment and looked at Wang Qiongyu and said, "You are the old man in this convoy. Do you know what was being transported this time?" He had already seen that this convoy was very unusual. The head of Li's puppet is not something that ordinary puppet car should have.
He shouldn't be hung at the rear of the car, this girl Wang Qiongyu and the young Li Rujing are all different, and they are very strange everywhere.
Before Wang Qiongyu could speak, Li Rujing looked at Zhu Xu impatiently and said, "Don't talk if you have nothing to do. We will send you peace of mind to the place, don't ask too much about other things."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled. He turned to look at the convoy in front of him. This convoy became more and more difficult.
Wang Qiongyu had no intention of answering. After sitting for a while, he stood up and walked towards the carriage in front of him. Not long after, he held a thick quilt and sat down in front of a stone, wrapped in the quilt and was about to sleep.
Zhu Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at her and said, "Are you just sleeping like this?"
Wang Qiongyu wrapped her quilt, buried her head halfway in the quilt, and said, "You sleep in the carriage."
"I'll sleep outside." Li Rujing stood up and said.
Zhu Xu looked up at the dark sky. How many times have he been ignored by others this day?
'I will definitely take revenge!' Zhu Xu stared at Li Rujing's back and said viciously in his heart.
Wang Qiongyu lowered her head, as if she was already asleep. Li Rujing held the quilt and was preparing to go to bed not far away.
The weather is still relatively cold now, so I can't stand sleeping like this at night. Zhu Xu had no choice but to say again, "You can easily get frozen at night when you sleep like this, so it's better to squeeze in the carriage."
Both of them are very cold and arrogant, and they ignore Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu sighed in his heart. You must know that it is so uncomfortable to visit privately on a private tour, so he must choose to lead the large army.
Cao Bianjiao observed for a while, walked over and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Young Master, I think something is wrong. It seems that someone is staring at us. I can't tell whether it is for the Youth Master or the Escort car."
Zhu Xu rolled his eyes with a motionless expression, observed around, and said, "Where are our people?"
"It's all hidden around, and no clues have been found yet. Maybe all that comes is to explore the way." Cao Bianjiao said.
Zhu Xu clapped his hands, stood up and smiled, "It's okay, don't be nervous, we are just ordinary young men from aristocratic families, and we act a little more ordinary."
Cao Bianjiao nodded, but did not dare to be careless at all.
Zhu Xu ignored Wang Qiongyu and Li Rujing anymore, got on the carriage, picked up the quilt and became a bunch of them.
He hasn't slept like this for a long time, and he is really familiar and unfamiliar.
Cao Bianjiao sat in the carriage, squinted his eyes slightly, and his other senses were tight enough to make him feel careless.
The convoy gradually calmed down, the torches were turned off, and people patrolled back and forth from both sides from time to time.
The wind is quiet, the wolf roars endlessly, and a hint of coldness is coming.
Li Rujing and Wang Qiongyu had no movement. They had not moved since they sat down, and there was no sound at all.
The forest not far away sways gently, and the shadows of the trees sway.
This place is far from the station, and it is a gourd terrain. The convoy is stationed in a semicircle, leaning against the mountain, mainly to be alert to the more empty north.
I don’t know how long it took, a ray of moonlight appeared in the dim sky, illuminating the valley even colder.
A figure sneaked in the darkness, appeared silently on the hillside, looking down at the convoy below.
He hid in the darkness and carefully observed the convoy from beginning to end. For half an hour, he quietly left in the darkness without causing any movement.
No words all night.
Early in the morning, Wang Qiongyu woke up and cleaned up, then started to set fire and prepared to cook breakfast.
As soon as the fire was so hot, Li Rujing woke up and cleaned up silently. She sat next to the fire, cooking porridge with Wang Qiongyu and hot cakes.
After a while, breakfast might be ready, Wang Qiongyu looked up at Li Rujing and said, "You want to change your name?"
Li Rujing was stirring the porridge and said indifferently, "Well, I'm going to get the crown, I have to have a word."
Most girls at this time do not need a name, just have a nickname or nickname, let alone a word.
Wang Qiongyu's expression was as usual, and her hungry face was as calm as before, and she said, "Did you think of what name you have?"
Li Rujing shook his head and said, "My parents and elders were killed by the rioters, and no one made the decision for me."
Wang Qiongyu looked at him and said for a while: "You want to avenge your parents and join the army. Anbang is not nice, but Dingguo is OK."
Li Rujing looked up at her, silently said, "The day before yesterday, a fortune teller said, "I have a noble life and a noble fortune. I gave me the word "Da Scarf". I will ask the head of the escort later."
Wang Qiongyu nodded lightly and turned to look at the carriage where Zhu Xu was.
Li Rujing hates such a young man the most. When the country is in trouble, he is idle all day long and plays around, making him feel bored when he takes a look.
"Don't worry about him, let's eat it. Let's eat it on the way after departure." Li Rujing frowned and said.
Wang Qiongyu picked up the sweet potato cakes beside him without any joy or sorrow.
Zhu Xu had already woken up, and Cao Bianjiao was whispering to report by the car window.
"From the information sent by the Jinyiwei, many bandits suddenly appeared along the way, all of whom occupied the mountain as kings, robbed the caravans and seldom attacked the villages. There were also merchant ships appearing and red-haired people appeared at the junction of the mountain and east."
Cao Bianjiao whispered while observing the surroundings.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged. Although the coast was swept by the navy and bandit suppression were carried out on the road, it would be a daydream to have a peaceful and prosperous era at this time. But he did not expect that the tentacles of the Holland people had stretched so far.
"Have you found out the origin of the bandit?" Zhu Xu asked.
It is impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with the Holland people. There must be someone connected here, so the identity is not simple.
Cao Bianjiao said: "Not yet, they suddenly appeared, specializing in robbing porcelain, silk, tea, etc., and never kill people."
Zhu Xu pinched his chin and then smiled and said, "It seems that he is targeting our convoy. By the way, have you found out what the convoy transports?"
Cao Bianjiao looked puzzled and said, "Shopkeeper Tao was recommended by Master Fu, and it is absolutely reliable. This trip is mostly rice and grain, unless they escorted something else. However, they were closely guarding, and the Jinyiwei could not get close to investigate."
Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's okay, don't worry about them. This convoy is not simple either. Let's take a look. If you don't need to, don't expose your identity."
