The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

After getting in the car, Xue Zhiyi discovered that Sui Yunlang was also in the car.

He looked at Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou as if he was watching a play, and nudged Huo Wuyou with his knee: "What's wrong with you? Can a few words from others make you so anxious?"

Glancing at him, Huo Wuyou said, "You, get out of the car."

Sui Yunlang was stunned and slapped his thigh: "You are so heartless, Huo Wuyou, you want to drive me away!? There are only a few cars in total, where can I go?"

Huo Wuyou glared at him mercilessly: "It's up to you."

Sui Yunlang laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, I'll leave. Is it okay for me to leave?"

On this side, Sui Yunlang was kicked out of the car. After driving around in circles, he found that only Jiang Xu's car was relatively empty, so he had no choice but to go over there with a thick face.

The caravan left the city and traveled for most of the day. After a short rest at an inn, they prepared to continue on their journey.

But suddenly, a woman came out from nowhere and jumped into one of the cars in a panic.

Faced with this woman who was running around with her hair a little messy, Jiang Xu and Sui Yunlang looked at each other in bewilderment.

The woman had no time to pay attention to them. She just lay by the window with her eyes exposed, staring outside vigilantly.

At this moment, a group of people came to the post station. They were dressed as guards and seemed to be anxiously looking for someone.

When the woman saw this, she quickly lowered her head and hid herself in the car.

Seeing this, Sui Yunlang asked the woman with a smile: "Are they here to look for you?"

Hearing the sound, the woman turned around in horror. It was Shen Qingtang. She almost turned pale: "Who are you!"

Sui Yunlang found it funny and asked her back: "You got on our car, don't you know who we are?"

Jiang Xu was still serious, and answered expressionlessly, "I am the Left Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Jiang Xu."

"Sir!" Shen Qingtang was also flexible: "Don't tell them I'm here!"

As they were talking, the group of people also walked to the side of their car, and the guard asked respectfully: "Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl in green clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old, passing by here?"

With only a board between him and the guard, Shen Qingtang had a look of despair on his face. He could only clasp his hands together and look at Jiang Xu with pleading eyes.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xu said, "I've never seen it before."

Perhaps not wanting to be kicked out of the car for the second time, Sui Yunlang agreed after hearing his answer: "Then I have never seen it either."

The two of them sent the guards away, and Shen Qingtang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Xu's expression did not relax at all. He asked Shen Qingtang seriously, "Did this girl encounter any injustice? If the girl trusts me, you can tell me, and I will definitely seek justice for the girl."

Shen Qingtang waved his hands and was about to explain when Sui Yunlang said, "The clothes she was wearing were made of expensive materials, and her figure was strong and healthy. She didn't look injured, nor did she look hungry at all. Those people must be her family's guards."

After that, he asked Shen Qingtang: "Right?"

Shen Qingtang smiled awkwardly, then nodded and said, "Actually, I'm here to look for Xue Zhiyi. Do you know her?"

……

In the car, looking at Shen Qingtang who looked guilty, Xue Zhiyi said: "So, you want to go to Jiangzhou secretly without telling your family?"

Holding the hastily packed luggage, Shen Qingtang nodded: "When I was hiding from the guards at home, I happened to see you in the car of the Dali Temple, so I thought of going to Jiangzhou with you so that I could take care of you on the way. In a hurry, I got on the wrong car."

Stroking her hair, Xue Zhiyi sighed: "You are too naughty."

But Shen Qingtang complained sadly, "I am still worried about my father and the others. The news from Jiangzhou has not been received for a while, and the relief grain has been robbed. I can't put my mind at ease unless I go and see it with my own eyes."

……

In another car.

Because the car had just been given to Xue Zhiyi and Shen Qingtang, and it was raining outside, Huo Wuyou had no choice but to sit in Jiang Xu's car with a shameless face.

I had thought that I could have Xue Zhiyi by my side along the way, and that their relationship would surely make great progress, but who would have thought that Shen Qingtang would show up halfway, and make him and Jiang Xu stare at each other like black-eyed chickens.

Jiang Xu was also unhappy. He had passed the imperial examination and entered the court based on his own ability. He could not stand Huo Wuyou, a playboy with a bad reputation and an extremely frivolous attitude.

Only Sui Yunlang looked gloating, as if he had gotten his revenge.

……

Half a month later, the carriage arrived in Jiangzhou.

However, the disaster in Jiangzhou was more serious than they had imagined. The carriages could not move forward after only a few miles. According to local people, it was impossible to get to Jiangzhou Prefecture with carriages and horses, and grain could not be transported in. Otherwise, the disaster relief grain would not have been robbed in such a critical situation.

If you want to get into the city, you have to walk over the mountains and take the mountain roads that are barely passable.

They had originally brought some food with them, thinking that it might be useful in an emergency. But now it seemed that they could only ask the dozens of yamen officials accompanying them to carry some food along the mountain path, and most of the food they brought could not be brought in.

The mountain road was difficult to travel on. Although Xue Zhiyi had experienced a lot of hardships in his previous life, he had never suffered such a torment, so he had no choice but to go on.

Shen Qingtang was the daughter of a general. Although she had never practiced martial arts, she was not at all squeamish. She tried to carry Xue Zhiyi on her back several times before Huo Wuyou, but gave up only after Xue Zhiyi politely refused.

They were finally about to get down the mountain and would reach Jiangzhou Prefecture in a few miles. By this time, everyone was already covered in rain and mud and looked extremely miserable.

But suddenly, Xue Zhiyi felt that Huo Wuyou, who had been supporting her, paused. She whispered, "What's wrong?"

Huo Wuyou frowned and glanced at the bushes not far away: "There is someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden movement in the bushes, and then more than a dozen people rushed out, all equipped with swords.

Not only here, these assassins had ambushed several groups around, and at this moment, they surrounded and killed them, scaring everyone to scream in fear.

"Be careful!" Huo Wuyou grabbed Xue Zhiyi's hand tightly with his backhand and moved sideways to protect him.

He said in a deep voice: "The wild geese are coming back!"

Huo Wuyou also brought his guards, led by Yan Gui, and they all drew their swords to fight back.

But these people had a clear goal and came towards Huo Wuyou and Jiang Xu without saying a word.

Huo Wuyou could handle it himself, but Jiang Xu was a weak scholar through and through. If it weren't for Yan Gui blocking a few swords, his life would have been in danger.

Although the target was the two Shaoqings of the Dali Temple, swords and knives have no eyes and it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries. Just as the assassin's sword was about to fall on Shen Qingtang, Xue Zhiyi grabbed her collar and dragged her to his side. At the same time, Huo Wuyou raised his hand and slashed the assassin's throat to death.

Shen Qingtang held his head and screamed: "They are crazy. They actually dared to kill the imperial envoy!"

I thought it would be safer to follow the Dali Temple's convoy, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to kill even the imperial envoy. This is a matter of killing nine generations of the clan.

The officials of the Dali Temple were already exhausted from the long journey. Even if they threw away food to fight, they would still be no match for these assassins. Huo Wuyou only brought seven or eight people with him, and they were really overwhelmed in such an unfamiliar mountain road.

At this moment, a burst of dense horse hoofbeats sounded——

Huo Wuyou became alert again and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the people who came were all dressed as soldiers and were riding their horses hurriedly towards him.

They still did not dare to slack off and continued to fight with the assassins.

After all, those who have the courage to kill the imperial envoy are mostly government officials, and they cannot guarantee who these people are helping.
