Chapter 129 Long live my emperor (16)
The next morning, Chu Yu's mood recovered. He rode his horse and walked side by side with Nan Yue in front.
He was like this all the way after leaving the post station. If he were asked to sit in the carriage with Tian Xiu, he would definitely not be able to hold it back.
Nan Yue’s speed was not fast. After all, besides her and Chu Yu, there were three other deputy envoys riding horses, and a carriage.
The rest of the people came all the way on foot.
We rested for half an hour at noon, ate some dry food, and continued on our way.
We have already reached Changxing County, and it will be quick to reach Qi County.
The road they took was a remote path and they didn't meet many people along the way.
Before reaching Qi County, you will pass through a canyon, which is the only way.
The terrain of Chaoge City is flat and such scenery is rarely seen.
While walking in the canyon, Chu Yu, riding on his horse, could not help but let out a short cry, and then said to his sister beside him with excitement: "There is an echo!"
Nan Yue looked up at the wonders of nature for a while, then suddenly asked softly, "Do you know?"
Her question was incoherent. Chu Yu looked at her in confusion, "What?"
The team walked deep into the canyon, the sunlight was blocked and the air was cool with every breath.
Nan Yue turned her head, her expression serious and a little helpless, and taught her innocent brother a lesson, "When you are out, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, don't let your guard down easily."
"This kind of canyon usually brings danger..."
Before she could finish her sentence, someone blocked her way.
"Stop! Robbery!"
The gruff voice of a stranger.
At the same time, the team was surrounded from behind.
There are canyons on both sides, and people blocking the way in front and behind.
You can't advance, and you can't retreat.
Nan Yue raised her eyebrows, without any panic, and looked as if to say what I was saying.
Chu Yu's expression changed, and he instinctively reached for the sword, but halfway through his hand he remembered that he had given the sword to his sister after they exchanged identities.
His face turned dark. He had just told his sister last night that he would not be unlucky enough to encounter bandits and he was still thinking about protecting his sister.
Today, these bandits slapped him hard.
There were only a few dozen bandits who rushed out from nowhere, not as many as them, but they occupied the advantageous terrain, so it was still difficult to break through.
The officers and soldiers had changed into their own clothes on the day they left the post station. In addition, the team was shorter and had horse-drawn carriages, so they looked like an ordinary convoy of wealthy merchants.
They did not move, waiting for Nan Yue's order.
This is how they got here. Although these officers and soldiers are lazy, they have one advantage: they are used to obeying Nan Yue's orders and will not act smart when encountering problems.
The bandits did not take action immediately, which was different from those who came for Chu Yu's life.
Nan Yue looked at the people blocking the road in front of her. The leader was a burly man, followed by a skinny guy with shifty eyes.
The skinny monkey whispered to the man, "The Third Boss, they have horses."
"It's good to have a horse. The boss's mount had its legs chopped off by that damned Yang Su and his men, and even the meat was eaten by them. The boss has been feeling bad about it. If he can get a BMW..."
The two looked at each other and were determined to get these horses.
In this world, horses are very precious. There are not many cavalrymen in the barracks, let alone these bandit camps. If there are a few horses, they must be well raised and provided for, let alone two such good horses in front of them.
The two of them had never even touched such a good horse, let alone ridden one.
They lowered their voices, but Nan Yue had excellent hearing and could still hear it clearly.
Yang Su?
Nan Yue's eyes flickered, and she suddenly changed her mind...
The young man drew his sword, pointed it at the bandits in front of him, and shouted, "What do you want to do? Get out of my way!"
The big man was pointed at by the sword, but he was not panicked at all.
The young man looked scary, but his pale face, the slightly shaking sword, and the uncontrollable trembling voice all betrayed his inner panic and fear.
He is truly the son of a wealthy family. When he met bandits, he didn't know how to deal with them and had no ability to fight back at all.
"Get out of the way?" The big man laughed. "Kid, where is your father? Let him come out and talk to us!"
Fear, struggle, and regret flashed across Nan Yue's face. Her lips trembled and she said in a hoarse voice, "I can give you the silver. Please spare our lives and let us leave safely."
Chu Yu concealed the shock in his eyes. How could his sister, who was so skilled in martial arts, not be able to defeat these people? She must be planning something...
He can't ruin his sister's business!
He swallowed, and seemed to have learned a lot of wisdom. He saw the deputy envoy on the side wanted to speak.
His mind was working quickly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He immediately pinched his thigh, and tears came to his eyes due to the pain.
He yelled at the deputy envoy, "Uncle Wang, I knew it was wrong for us to leave first. We should have waited for father and the others. Now we have encountered bandits. What should we do?"
Chu Yu had never reacted so quickly before.
The deputy envoy was confused and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. What, what, what does that mean?
The boy's pupils trembled, and he looked at the girl, "What are you talking about? Shut up!"
The girl froze unnaturally after being yelled at by him, and then her tears fell even more violently. She frowned and said, "It's all over, it's all over, father, please bring someone to save us..."
Chu Yu pinched his thigh and screamed wildly in his heart. His bet was right! He finally caught up with his sister. It was not easy!
He really admires his sister. Is there anything she can't do?
The sword in the boy's hand trembled even more violently, and he said in a trembling voice, "Let us go, and we will give you everything!"
It turned out to be a spoiled girl favored by a rich businessman, and a cowardly young man with some brains but not much.
The thin monkey's eyes turned, it seemed that the disobedient offspring took a group of things and left first, and their father followed behind...
The skinny monkey grabbed the big man who was about to attack him, his eyes gleaming, "Quick battle, quick decision, take them all back..."
"What do you mean?" The big man obviously thought of something.
The skinny monkey nodded, his eyes greedy. Since there was a big fish behind, these people could not let it go easily.
The vanguard has so many things and such fine horses, so shouldn't there be even more good things behind them...
When greed arises, the necessary vigilance disappears.
Nan Yue’s image was that of a young man who had never encountered bandits. He seemed to have no martial arts skills and couldn’t even hold a sword steadily.
Only the escort people following behind are a little difficult to deal with, but since they are servants, they obey the orders of their masters. In addition, with the advantage of terrain, wouldn't it be easy to capture them?
The big man stepped forward and said in a gruff voice, "Get off! Your things and horses are all ours!"
As he spoke, the blade in his hand faced the boy's sword.
He didn't need to use much force, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
The young man got off his horse in a panic and discussed with them, "Then, can we leave?"
At this time, a certain male protagonist is still on his way to appear...
