Chapter 58
Acting on orders
She was extremely bored along the way, with no one to talk to. Although she was walking on an official road, it was still very bumpy. After walking for ten days in a row, she felt pain all over her body and her head was dizzy.
Zhang Anyi snatched the book from her hand, threw it aside, folded her hands on her chest, and said, "Just look at it and you will know how to read it!"
Zhang Anchu didn't know how he had offended her. He didn't talk to her much along the way, so as to save her trouble.
But, did reading also annoy her?
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Zhang Anyi almost fell, but she subconsciously held Zhang Anchu to prevent her from falling.
"What's going on? Can't you drive a carriage well?" Zhang Anyi shouted angrily.
"Miss Third, what's wrong, there's someone blocking the road ahead, it looks like a thief!" Siyu opened the curtain and said in a panic.
"This is an official road, how can there be thieves?" Zhang Anchu was puzzled, maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
"Take out your money, or else, be careful with your lives!" the leader said viciously, holding a sword in his hand.
"We are from the Beiping Marquis' Mansion. You people, don't you risk your life by robbing us?" the steward of the Beiping Marquis' Mansion said loudly.
The Marquis of Peiping sent the two young ladies to Beijing, so they were naturally worried. The eldest son was in the capital, and the second son had not come back for three years.
So, they asked the housekeeper to send them to the capital, bringing many people and weapons with them.
"No matter who you are, you have to pay money if you want to live here!" The leader's eyes were stern and his tone was extremely cold.
Zhang Anchu was listening in the carriage, and something seemed not quite right.
Zhang Anyi clutched her sleeve tightly, feeling nervous and not daring to speak at all.
"It seems that you don't want to live anymore, take action!" The housekeeper gave the order, and the boys escorting the carriage picked up the guy and prepared to fight with the thief.
Zhang Anchu nodded, feeling that the housekeeper was very courageous and would hit him whenever he asked without fear at all.
The leader picked his ears, became a little impatient, and shouted to the person behind him: "Come on!"
Zhang Anchu heard the fighting outside, but she didn't dare to raise her head to take a look. Since Peiping Hou asked the housekeeper to see him off, he must be sure to deliver him safely.
"Miss Third, it's not good, I'm afraid the housekeeper can't hold it anymore, let's run away!" Seeing that something was wrong, the nanny got on the carriage and pulled Zhang Anchu to leave.
The group of thieves looked small, but they were very powerful and there was no way the people from the Hou Mansion could deal with them.
Zhang Anchu secretly thought it was bad, how could this happen?
"Take me with you too." Zhang Anyi followed her out of the carriage. She didn't want to stay here, she had to go to the palace.
Although Zhang Anyi always couldn't say anything good, she still had a good heart and was still a sister after all. Zhang Anchu turned around and took her hand, preparing to leave together.
There was a fierce fight outside. Zhang Anchu took a quick look and saw that half of the people led by the housekeeper were already lying down, but the thieves were all fine.
"Miss, there is no one behind you, let's leave from the back." The wet nurse had already observed the road. The thieves were all in the front, and the back was empty.
"Yeah." Zhang Anchu nodded, that's all.
The wet nurse and Siyu protected Zhang Anchu in the middle. The wet nurse and maid beside Zhang Anyi also protected her, and the group of people ran to the back.
"Stop them!" The thief pointed his sword at Zhang Anchu and the others who were leaving on the way back from the carriage.
The thief's companion quickly dispatched the people around him, flew in front of Zhang Anchu, and blocked the way out.
The thieves looked at each other and said, "There is a beautiful woman here! She looks like she is worth a lot of money!"
"Take it away! It would be a pity if it doesn't look like this anymore!"
Only then did Siyu realize that in her haste, she had forgotten to put a veil on Zhang Anchu.
Zhang Anyi was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. Zhang Anchu frowned, always feeling that something was not right. However, now was not the time to think about this. He had to think about what to do next.
How can I escape...
"Get out of here! This is the Peking Marquis's daughter!" The nanny guarded Zhang Anchu behind her, staring and shouting loudly.
The housekeeper saw that all the people he had brought were seriously injured, some were dead, some could barely stand up, and they had no strength to fight.
When he heard the voice of nanny An, he turned around and saw that behind the carriage, the thief was embarrassing the young lady. If he was not fighting with the thief, he would not be able to fight him. He quickly put down the weapon in his hand and ran to kneel down in front of him.
"Please, let our lady go, and take all the money away!"
You can still have money if you lose it, and the Peking Marquis family has a great business, but if something happens to the two ladies, I'm afraid their lives will be lost! They won't be able to deal with the Peking Marquis!
The thief laughed loudly and said: "You guys, can you protect your lady now?"
"Don't talk about money, people have to be taken away too! Brothers, collect the goods!" the leading thief shouted.
The thief knocked several people unconscious, and Zhang Anchu also felt pain in the back of his neck. After that, he didn't know anything else.
When she woke up again, she found that she was in the carriage, and her wet nurse and Siyu were also lying here.
But, I didn’t see Zhang Anyi...
She opened the curtain and saw the thief riding a horse outside. When he saw her open the curtain, he knew she was awake.
"Miss Third, wake up."
As soon as the thief finished speaking, the carriage and the thieves stopped.
"Who are you?" Zhang Anchu always felt that something was wrong, but now he felt even better.
"My subordinates are all following orders. Please stay in the carriage and don't embarrass us." The thief dismounted and said to her.
Sure enough, they were not robbers. Zhang Anchu felt that something was wrong when he heard it on the carriage, as if he was talking about lines.
"What? Whose order?" Zhang Anchu saw that several people were still respectful to him, and he was even more curious about who was performing this drama.
She estimated that this person wouldn't tell him, and even if she asked, it would be in vain.
"Miss Third will know when we get to the place," the leader said to her.
Zhang Anchu was thoughtful and had no choice but to put down the curtain and watch the changes.
They are a group of women who have no strength to restrain a chicken. These people are highly skilled in martial arts. How can they escape?
It's impossible to run away.
Looking back, Zhang Anchu found that the wet nurse was slowly waking up.
"Miss Third, where is this?" The wet nurse touched the back of her head, which hurt very much.
"In the carriage." Zhang Anchu replied with a frown. She didn't know who the last person she would see would be, and she was full of worries about the future.
The nanny looked around and saw the carriage of the Marquis of Beiping. She felt as if she was in a dream and asked, "Where are the thieves?"
"Outside."
When the nanny heard what she said, she quickly sat up, opened the curtain and saw that the carriage had started to move, and the thieves were riding well.
"What should I do? Miss Third, what should I do?" The wet nurse collapsed on the ground, not knowing what to do.
