Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 27 The Merchant's Daughter (27)

Two days later, a dilapidated carriage was driving on the official road, and the driver was a disguised sunny day. It would take at least three days to go to Qingzhou for a fast night trip, and at least seven or eight days for the carriage to stop and go.

Qingkong saw everything in the car, and his eyes widened. Rich people just enjoy it. Going out is much more extravagant than Mr. Duan.

Lan Xi got into the carriage and read the words with relish, Shi Mo and Qing Kong stared at each other.

After several rounds of back and forth, Qing Kong was defeated, grabbed an apple on the small table, shrank into the corner, and took a hard bite.

Seeing the silent interaction between the two, Lan Xi felt amused. Shi Mo was unconvinced and couldn't do anything about Qing Kong, so he could only play with a child's temper. These two are here, and they are not lonely on the road.

Lan Xi didn't bother to pay attention to the small actions of the two, and continued to stare at the story book. She discussed with her eldest brother and Yu Jingxian, and when the news of the transaction came from Beiyuan, she would give up all the shops in the capital. The Jiashang line goes to Wuzhou, and then the second brother and Chu Yao will also go to Wuzhou to meet them.

With the amount of grain stored in Wuzhou, Lan Xi is sure to accept this deal with Beiyuan, and then negotiate with Beiyuan by exterminating locusts, but if Beiyuan does not move for a long time, things will be more troublesome. Sometimes she has to find a way to find someone who can talk to Beiyuan to convey the strategy of eradicating locusts.

Regardless of which of these two roads to take, Qingzhou is a must. If Dajing trades with Beiyuan, the place will be in Qingzhou waters. If you want to find someone who can talk to Beiyuan, you can only find it in Qingzhou.

Where there is trade, there will be smuggling. Occasionally, there will be weapons made by Beiyuan in Qingzhou, although most of them are small gadgets such as daggers, which can explain the problem.

As long as you follow the clues to find the smuggling line, everything will be solved.

After walking for half a day, Lan Xi put down the notebook in her hand, and was about to let Sunny Tian stop to rest, when suddenly there was the sound of neighing horses, followed by the sound of wheels rubbing against the road, and Qingkong's shout: "Attacked."

Before Lan Xi could stabilize her body, Qing Kong opened the curtain and flew out. A long sword just pierced through the car window, and Shi Mo screamed loudly in fright.

Outside the carriage, the hidden weapon in Qingkong's hand flew out and shot at the man in black with the sword. The man in black had to give up his attack and avoid Qingkong's attack. With a twist of his wrist, he blocked the two men in black who were attacking the carriage.

Lan Xi heard the sound of fighting outside, opened a corner of the curtain, Qingkong and Qingtian fought fiercely with a dozen men in black.

The clear sky is fine, but the clear sky can barely hold back the man in black, Lan Xi's face is slightly pale, who wants her life?
These two dilapidated carriages encountered bandits. If those bandits were not about to starve to death, they probably would not have come to rob them. Moreover, these men in black are obviously well-trained, and their goals are very clear. That's her.

"Master, why don't you run away quickly, put on my clothes, and I'll stay here." Shi Mo's face was pale, and his whole body was trembling involuntarily.

"You've read too many story books. Everything in the book is deceitful. If I go out, I will only cause trouble to Qingkong and Qingtian. Don't worry, I'm still useful to Young Master Duan. He won't let me die so easily. "Lan Xi patted Shi Mo's shoulder and said calmly.

"But...but..."

While talking, Qingtian finally couldn't hold on anymore, two men in black scratched Qingtian's arm, and rushed towards the carriage with their swords raised.

"Master!" Shi Mo threw herself on Lan Xi, and Lan Xi was thrown to the ground by Shi Mo, and almost lost her breath, "Ahem, release the crossbow, hurry up and release the crossbow arrows."

In a panic, Shi Mo pressed the button on the wall of the car, and the arrows hidden in the four corners of the car were activated, and a row of arrows shot out in unison, instantly killing several men in black who hadn't had time to react.

Seeing the death of their companions, the momentum of the remaining men in black changed, and they rushed towards the carriage bravely waving their weapons without fear of death.

"There is an agency, at any cost, to capture that woman alive in the carriage."

Qingtian was injured, Qingkong alone couldn't stop the red-eyed man in black who rushed forward, Lan Xi grabbed Shi Mo, and the two jumped out of the carriage.

"Master, hurry up." Qingkong and Qingtian shouted loudly.

"Go, where are you going?" The leading man in black smiled contemptuously, and stabbed at Lan Xi with his long sword, and Shi Mo blocked Lan Xi with a quick reaction.

"Oh, this silly boy." Lan Xi silently praised Shi Mo's heroic savior in her heart.

Just when the sword in the man's hand in black was about to pass through Shi Mo's chest, a figure fell from the sky, a sharp metal collision sounded, and the sword in the man's hand was knocked away by the figure.

"Mr. Duan, it's not kind to act until you've seen enough drama." Lan Xi stared at Duan Yuhe's cold mouth.

When the man in black heard the words Young Master Duan, his expression changed, and the movements of his hands were a little slow. Qing Kong and Qing Tian were slightly taken aback, and neither of them could detect that Young Master Duan was here with their martial arts. How did Xi know?
"Take it down quickly." As soon as Duan Yuhe finished speaking, dozens of shadows rushed out from all directions, and within a cup of tea, all the men in black were captured by the dark guards, their jaws were lowered, and their poisonous arms were pulled out. fangs.

When the battle was over, Duan Yuhe turned around and looked at Lan Xi: "Sorry, I surprised you."

"Thanks to Young Master Duan, the bait is still intact. Who are these people? Why did you kill me?" Lan Xi said calmly.

Duan Yuhe looked businesslike, "These people are dead soldiers of Xiyao Kingdom. Didn't you hear it just now? Their purpose is not to kill you, but to capture you alive."

"Xiyao is also thinking about the Lan family?"

"Just look at this and you'll know." Duan Yuhe took out a parchment scroll from his sleeve and threw it at Lan Xi.

"what is this?"

Lan Xi opened the parchment scroll and saw that the parchment scroll turned out to be a mine road map of an abandoned iron mine. The closure of the iron mine back then was not because the ore had been excavated, but to continue to dig, and it was only a short distance from the border of Xiyao Kingdom. Twenty kilometers away.

After Lan Xi's father, Lan Zewen, discovered the situation, he quickly backfilled the mine tunnel and reported the matter to the officials of the Dajing Ministry of Industry who were supervising at the time.

The next day, Lan Zewen announced that the ore had been excavated, the iron mine was abandoned, and he handed over the original mine road map, which was the sheepskin scroll. Apart from Lan Zewen and Lan Xi, the Lan family knew about this, and even Lan Xi's Eldest brother and second elder brother also do not know.
