Fox Road Travel Notes

Chen Zican lazily put down his chopsticks: "Kou'er, do you want to move to the county government office?"

Kuan'er shook his head without hesitation.

She shuddered when she thought of the young lady who always looked at her sideways and whose thin lips were like two sharp knives.

Chen Zican nodded, smiled and said to the maid: "Sister Xiaoju, go back and tell my sister-in-law that they are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Just say that I have something to do today. Hey, it's so early. Have you eaten?"

"How about we sit down and eat a bowl of noodles together."

"Kua'er and I both love their shredded pork noodles, don't you?"

Guan'er let out a long "hmm".

Xiaoju's face flushed with embarrassment and she shook her head quickly.

He gave a blessing in panic, turned around and went downstairs as if to run away.

Chen Zican really has something to do. He wants to take Kou'er to eat meat and beef noodles.

This time chasing Qi Dalang, Chen Zican inherited Liang Qiuju's great love.

If he hadn't guarded the official road for several nights, once Qi Dalang escaped from Huaiqing Mansion, trying to catch him would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

And Qi Dalang's all-out revenge methods are enough to make anyone sleepless.

So, today, he was going to take Kuan'er to visit him and Chen Xiaolian.

Who doesn’t like and cherish such a friend?

The luxurious and comfortable carriage was given to her by her brother Wang Heming. Chen Zican sat in front of the carriage as a groom.

Kou'er rarely goes out recently. Looking out the car window at the spring scenery of grass growing and orioles flying, and trees blooming with flowers, he feels as happy as a little bird.

Chen Zican felt relaxed as he listened to her chattering happily.

The two of them talked and laughed. Although they had to travel three or four hours, it didn't feel long at all.

At noon, the two of them had dinner at Huaiqing Mansion and bought new clothes for Kuan'er.

Then, the carriage followed the official road and turned eastward.

After walking for about half an hour, I suddenly heard people in front of me shouting, and my head started to rise.

Chen Zican stood up and looked from a distance, only to see dozens of horses chasing each other, gathering and dispersing, speeding back and forth around the official road.

Occasionally, the two horses would pedal wrongly, and the sword would dazzle and disappear in a flash, followed by screams of agony.

Chen Zican was shocked, what happened?

fight?

It shouldn’t be!

He quickly greeted Kuan'er: "Close the window and don't show your head!"

Chen Zican hesitated in his heart. He has always been a person who doesn't mind watching the excitement, but with the button around, should he turn around and go back, or should he stop here and wait?

Just as he was making up his mind, five horses broke out and galloped towards this direction.

The knights on the horse were all men with long swords in their hands. They leaned against the horse's back, rising and falling with the horse, and sat firmly. They were all obviously good horsemen.

Twenty or thirty riders were chasing after him on horseback, all wearing uniforms of the same color, all dressed as officials.

He shouted: "Thieves, don't leave. Those in front of you, stop them!"

Chen Zican looked behind him and saw that there were no carriages or horses on the official road. The following sentence was obviously directed at them.

But Chen Zican was not stupid. He had already seen that the five in front of him were all extremely fierce thieves.

Let yourself be treated as human flesh and resist a horse to stop him?

Your brain is swollen!

He quickly drove the carriage to the side of the road and saw the five horses trotting over.

The horses are all fine Hexi horses, with high shoulders and long legs.

But on each horse, not only was a strong man sitting, but there were also two heavy cowhide bags hanging next to the saddle.

It's bulging and full of things. It's heavy and heavy when I run, and I can't pick up the speed.

Seeing the pursuers approaching, arrows whizzing past their ears, the horse thief at the back laughed loudly and said, "You bastards, how annoying they are."

"Since you are rushing to reincarnate, grandpa will help you!"

He sheathed his sword, pulled out the hard bow hanging from the saddle with his backhand, and fired a few arrows.

As soon as he twisted his body, the bow was bent like a full moon, and the arrow was already on the string. He shot the arrow with a "swish", and the officer at the front was hit by the arrow in his throat. He fell off his horse without saying a word.

Chen Zican's mouth formed an "O" shape. He was the first to see the cavalry fighting.

Fifty or sixty meters away, chasing and shooting on a bumpy horseback, killing one with one arrow, it is really a miraculous skill.

Such a spectacular sight makes people’s hearts swell just looking at it!

Seeing this, the other four riders cheered in unison.

They all drew out their bows and arrows and shot backwards, only to hear the officials behind them screaming and screaming. Either their horses were shot down, or they were knocked off their horses by arrows.

For a time, the formation was in chaos, and everyone reined in their horses, not daring to pursue any more.

The five horse thieves were so proud that they shouted, "You bastards."

"Go slowly, wash up and wait for grandpa, put down the money, and come to patronize you again, haha——"

Chen Zican was stretching his neck, watching with gusto, when a horse thief glared and shouted: "Boy, what are you looking at?"

"Look again, Grandpa will shoot you blind with one arrow!"

He raised his hand and an arrow was shot. Chen Zican quickly shrank his head. The long wolf-toothed arrow was close to his scalp and nailed to the mahogany door frame with a "Duo" sound. The tail of the arrow kept buzzing and vibrating.

Kuan'er screamed in the car: "Master, are you okay?"

The five people laughed, pointed, and passed by.

Chen Zican was furious. Although this arrow had no intention of hurting anyone, it was as the saying goes, it was not very harmful but extremely insulting.

He shouted: "I'm fine, don't come out!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed the car door to prevent the buckle from coming out.

These guys are extremely vicious. If they see their beautiful little maid, they might cause more trouble.

Alas, I only have to blame myself for being too weak!

The officials chased him but did not dare to chase him, and could not abandon him. They dismounted one by one and picked up the fallen brothers along the way.

The screams and cries were loud for a while, and they no longer looked like they were shouting and arrogant as usual. They looked so miserable.

Chen Zican drove the carriage closer and saw more than a dozen dead and injured people lying on the ground. Blood was flowing all over the ground, and the sound of wailing could not be heard.

Seven or eight horses also fell, which was a heavy casualty.

A middle-aged man with angry eyes and a livid face strode over, grabbed the policeman who was lying on the body and cried bitterly, and lifted him up: "Cry, cry like hell!"

"Do you know that what was robbed by the horse thieves was our Yuzhou salary and delivered it to Prince Jingjin, General Nikan's army?"

When he said this, his lips trembled and his eyes showed despair.

"If we lose it, we, the dozens of governor's office clerks, will all lose their lives."

"Even you policemen from Huaiqing Mansion can't even hope to save their heads!"

"Chase! Let's get on the horse and chase!"

"Anyway, dying in the hands of thieves is a death, and dying in Caishikou is also a death. At least, we won't harm our family!"

The person who was lifted up by his chest was none other than the police officer of Huaiqing Mansion, and Chen Zican looked vaguely familiar.

Last time, he was probably the one who followed Magistrate Ye and sealed the government office of Xiuwu County.

His eyes were red and swollen, his face was stained with tears, and he suddenly opened the hand of the judge.

He roared angrily: "You acted carelessly and were robbed of your military salary by horse thieves. What does it have to do with us?"

"Are you blind? Fourteen of our Huaiqing Mansion agents came, six died and three were injured!"

"My brother, my brother is charging forward all the way. You idiots know how to hide behind."

"Now, now even he has been shot to death..."

"There are only these few of us left. If we want to chase, you go and chase!"

"It's best to die cleanly!"
