The sky gradually sank, and the setting sun had already set into the west mountain, leaving only a small corner still shining light on the earth.

Song Yi was injured and couldn't run fast, she had tried her best to run while enduring the pain, and there were a few more white-clothed attendants behind her, all of them were strong and concealed well, and followed Song Yi to the outside of the city in the dark.

Now it is evening, many hawkers on the street have finally survived the hard work of the day, each of them closes their stalls and goes home, laughing and making noises, while those who have not made much money are silent, taking up the burden and leaving.

An old man selling candied haws was about to leave with an empty burden with a smile on his face, but was stopped by the owner of the bun shop.

"Old man Zhang, have you sold all of them today?" The boss asked with a smile, leaning against the pillar of his shop.

Old man Zhang proudly showed the boss his burden and the pole on which the candied haws were inserted, the meaning was self-evident.

"Come stay at our house tonight. Go back early tomorrow afternoon." The shop owner said, and was about to come forward to carry the burden for him.

Old man Zhang was very puzzled, so he protected his burden from him: "Why do you want to stay in the city today, and my son and daughter-in-law are waiting for me at home." Old man Zhang felt that the owner of the shop was very weird, so he left without saying anything. .

The shop owner stomped anxiously, and the peddlers who came to set up stalls with him persuaded him: "You don't know, it's approaching the end of the year, and the bandits are only robbing money on the road. You earned so much silver today, why don't you give it all to the bandits?" No pity!"

"That's right, we don't plan to go back. It's better to find a place to squeeze in for one night than to give it all to the bandit!"

The rest of the people agreed, and old man Zhang suddenly realized that his home was in the outskirts of the city, and it was not that he had never been robbed by mountain bandits, but old man Zhang never expected such things as blocking roads and robbing wealth.

"Middle! Then my old man will bother you!" Old man Zhang walked into the steamed stuffed bun shop, put down his burden and thanked him.

But at this time, the sky had already darkened, people's faces could not be seen clearly on the street, and Song Yi had just left the city before closing the city gate.Standing in front of the city gate, a man ran from the opposite side to report the situation, Song Yi had to stop to listen.

The man knelt in front of Song Yi as before, and reported in a low voice: "Miss Ji's chariot is not far away, and the city defenders here just delayed Miss Ji for some time. ...to be too late."

Song Yi squinted her phoenix eyes when she heard this, and looked at the dark forest in front of her with a long sword in her hand.

"It's too late? I don't allow such a possibility." The words were cold and firm.

"Miss, Pang Zhi really didn't lie to you, it was indeed Miss Song who ordered the slaves."

Pang Zhi was tied to the carriage by Ji Yan'an, the conversations of passers-by in her ears gradually disappeared, Pang Zhi knew that she was out of the city, without Ji Tong'an by her side, she was very flustered.

Ji Yan'an also had a bad expression, staring at Pang Zhi as if he wanted to stare her out of a hole, that kind of eyes made Pang Zhi feel even more creepy.

The carriage drove into the woods that seemed to have no borders, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance. The surroundings were pitch black, and even the chirping of birds could not be heard. Only the sound of horseshoes treading the ground echoed monotonously in the woods. Will wake up something dangerous in the night.

Ji Yan'an had questioned Pang Zhi for a long time, but she just refused to tell the truth, and it was Song Yi who killed her.

The candlelight in the carriage was dim, Le Yan prepared a hand stove to warm Ji Yan'an's hands, and a small stove was also lit inside the carriage. The thin chimney led to the outside of the carriage, and the whole environment was so warm that it made people sleepy.But Ji Yanan pushed aside the curtain with her hand and looked out, the dark sky oppressed her so much that she couldn't breathe, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"Le Yan, when can we get to Songzhou?" Ji Yan'an felt tired after only sitting in the carriage for an afternoon.

Le Yan was adding firewood to the small stove, heard this and thought for a while, then said: "Miss Hui, at noon tomorrow, I need to change boats and travel by water, and I will arrive at Songzhou in the afternoon of the next day."

Although it was easy to say, it still gave Ji Yan'an a headache, so wouldn't it be gone for half a month this time?What are you talking about saving Song Yi as soon as possible?Just when she was about to ask if there was any way to go faster, the carriage swayed violently, and Ji Yan'an was hit hard by the corner of the table on the back, causing her face to wrinkle into a ball in pain.

"What's wrong outside?" Ji Yan'an knew very well that the driver of Ji's mansion would not make a mistake in driving unsteadily, so something must have happened outside.

Ji Yan'an sat in the carriage and waited for no reply, anxious in her heart, so she ignored Le Yan's obstruction and pulled her out of the carriage together. As she expected, many men in black came out of the woods to stop the carriage. It seemed that there were dozens of people, all of them holding machetes and looking fierce, compared to the dozen or so thin and weak guards from Ji's mansion, they seemed a bit insignificant.

After getting off the carriage, he looked around first. When Ji Yan'an just calmed down and searched for the figure of the driver, what caught his eyes was the driver's head rolled down.

Blood was spilled all over the floor, Ji Yanan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked around at those ghostly people standing there, the machetes in the hands of the people closest to him were dripping with blood.

The guards around the carriage who were confronting the bandits saw Ji Yan'an and Le Yan get off the carriage to look at them, all of them turned pale with fright, and rushed to protect her in a hurry.

Seeing that Ji Yan had settled down, the guards headed by them felt confident, and shouted: "Where are the thieves coming from, the Ji mansion's chariots and horses dare to stop them?" The bandits who licked blood on the tip of their knives were born to fight against the emperor, so who were they afraid of?

"How about the Ji Mansion, so what if the emperor is here? You are the ones I will rob!" Deadly, three swords will make the opponent's life worse than death.

Hearing his rampant words, Ji Yan'an forcibly suppressed his disgust and negotiated with him: "Hero, how can we let us go?"

After discussing with the brothers around him, Zheng Sandao stared at Le Yan lewdly, and told Ji Yan'an with a look of great kindness: "I know you are the eldest lady, so I let you go, but all the money and this little maid , you must stay. Otherwise, none of you will live!" Le Yan was shocked when she heard the words, tears welled up in an instant, she tugged on Ji Yan'an's sleeve and shook her head: "The life of a servant is worthless, Miss, don't hesitate, Take Pang Zhi to find the old lady and rescue Miss Song first!"

The more Le Yan said this, the more Ji Yan'an refused. Seeing that Ji Yan'an refused to speak, she was so anxious that she almost walked into the bandits by herself.

Le Yan has no other intentions, it is worthwhile to exchange ten lives for one life of the young lady, because Ji Yan'an is the star in her heart.

"Are you crazy!?" Ji Yan'an quickly dragged him back.
