Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 546 There is an ambush

In the evening, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were chatting in the main house of the mansion.

"Nanjiang Town seems to be pretty good, much better than Chongshan Town!" said Yu Qingyi.

"Well, although Nanjiang Town is mountainous, it is spring-like all year round and the scenery is beautiful. It is much better than Chongshan Town!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The geographical environment of Nanjiang Town is actually very good, with mountains, water, and many fertile fields, and rice can be grown twice a year.

"I was worried that Wanqing wouldn't be able to stand the environment in Nanjiang Town. Now it seems that my worries were unnecessary!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly. "Nanjiang Town is naturally not as good as Kyoto. Wanqing has been accustomed to the prosperity and bustle of Kyoto. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to adapt to the desolate Nanjiang Town for a while."

In Kyoto, Yang Wanqing had so many family members and sisters to accompany her, but when she came to Nanjiang Town, everything was so unfamiliar and she needed to slowly familiarize herself with the environment of Nanjiang Town.

Just as Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi were talking, on an uninhabited hillside outside the Acropolis, several figures in cloth were looking in the direction of the Acropolis.

"Sir, I have already found out that the team that will marry into the Qu family has entered the city this afternoon."

Among the few people, a tall figure was obviously the leader. There were black patterns painted on his face, which seemed to be some kind of words, but also seemed to be ghost paintings.

In the dim moonlight, his face looked extremely terrifying.

"If they dare to marry into the Qu family, they will never return this time!"

"Keep an eye on them, and prepare to ambush them as soon as they leave the city!"

The man with ghostly marks on his face said in a hoarse voice.

The subordinate next to him reminded: "Sir, Ai Benhou will definitely escort them personally when the time comes, and we may not have enough manpower!"

The man sneered, "Then let Ruan Hongxuan come over!"

"I'm afraid he won't make a move!"

"If he dares to disobey orders, kill him!" the man said coldly.

"Yes!"

The sound gradually disappeared, and the figures of several people gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests.

……

Yang Zhengshan rested for a day in the Weicheng of Nanjiang Zhongwei. On the third day, Ai Benhou led two hundred soldiers to personally escort the Yang family to Nanhua City.

To get from the Acropolis to Nanhua City, one needs to cross the Wuling Mountains, which are known for having four seasons in each mountain and different weather every ten miles.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking north, you can see the rolling mountains, the vast forests, and the lush greenery. When the clouds and fog rise, the peaks are looming, as if you are in a fairyland, watching flowers in the fog. In the morning, watch the sunrise, the red sun bursts out, the clouds are thousands of rays, and when the fog dissipates, the sky is clear, the peaks are lush and green, and the air is as fresh as if filtered.

Even though he was just passing through the misty mountains, Yang Zhengshan still felt relaxed and happy about the scenery here, as if his soul had been cleansed and purified.

“This mountain is truly magnificent!”

Climbing a mountain along the official road, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"If the Marquis is interested in this place, you can come here to have fun after the wedding!" Ai Benhou said with a smile as he rode a horse beside Yang Zhengshan.

"Haha, that's exactly what I meant!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Then I will accompany you to visit this misty mountain!" Ai Ben said.

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "No need, I am a leisurely person, I have plenty of time to travel around. General Ai is busy with military affairs, so there is no need to accompany me!"

He planned to take Yu Qingyi out for some fun. After being married for more than ten years, they had never traveled together. This was a rare opportunity, so he naturally wanted to spend some time alone with Yu Qingyi.

Although they are already an old couple, who says that old couples don't need to live in their own world?

Ai Benhou did not force it. Since Yang Zhengshan said so, he could only agree with Yang Zhengshan.

The convoy went down the hillside, then turned left and right in the mountains. Although the Weicheng of Nanjiang Zhongwei was only a hundred miles away from Nanhua City in a straight line, it took nearly three hundred miles of wandering in the mountains and forests to reach Nanhua City.

This is different from Chongshan Town. Although Chongshan Town also has thousands of miles of mountains, the terrain of Chongshan Town is relatively flat, and only the mountains on the west road are steeper.

Many of the official roads in Nanjiang Town have steep cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. In the narrow places, only one person and one horse can pass through. However, the Yang family also brought more than a dozen carriages of dowry, so it was not easy to pass through these official roads.

To do this, Yang Zhengshan had to carry the carriage back and forth on the dangerous path himself.

If there was no one around, he could put the carriage into the Lingquan space and take it over easily, but under the watchful eyes of the public, he could only let everyone move the carriage.

It is not a problem for two acquired warriors to carry a carriage weighing several hundred kilograms. If it is really not possible, they can unload the things on the carriage and carry them separately.

Fortunately, this narrow path is not long, only about a hundred feet.

After the convoy passed, Yang Zhengshan looked back at the narrow path under the cliff and asked, "Do you usually transport supplies through this path?"

Ai Benhou nodded helplessly, "Yes, but we usually let the soldiers carry the heavy loads over there. There is a fort over there, and the supplies can be stored there first, and then slowly moved over!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. The terrain of Nanjiang Town was more complicated. The situation here was completely different from that of Chongshan Town. He had broadened his horizons this time.

After the convoy passed the narrow road, they continued to move forward. They rested in the fortress at night and set out again early the next morning. Today they will be able to get out of the misty mountains. After getting out of the misty mountains, the road will be much flatter, and going further ahead is an endless plain area.

This plain is the main farming area of ​​Nanjiang Town. It has fertile land, abundant water resources and a large number of paddy fields.

However, when they were about to walk out of the misty mountains, Yang Zhengshan suddenly stopped his horse.

"Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Ai Benhou asked puzzledly.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and looked forward. The official road ahead was very flat, but there were two mountain ranges on both sides of the road. The mountains were covered with dense and lush vegetation.

"There is an ambush." ​​Yang Zhengshan said.

"Ambush?" Ai Benhou was stunned for a moment, "Why would there be an ambush here?"

The official road here is the heart of Nanjiang Town. To the north are endless mountains covered with clouds. There are many forts of Nanjiang Town on the official road. To the south is Nanhua City. Who would ambush here, and who would they ambush?
Yang Zhengshan pointed to the forests on both sides and said, "There are at least two hundred people hiding in the forest!"

Ai Benhou did not doubt the truthfulness of Yang Zhengshan's words, because there was no need for Yang Zhengshan to be mysterious here.

Moreover, Yang Zhengshan is a congenital warrior, so it is not surprising that he can discover things that he cannot discover.

"Could it be an assassin from the Jinlong Dynasty?" Ai Benhou looked a little ugly.

The Yang family came to Nanjiang Town this time to form a marriage alliance with the Duke of Xingguo. If they were robbed and killed on the way, the consequences would be...
He couldn't imagine it.

But he soon relaxed because with Yang Zhengshan by his side, he had nothing to worry about.

"Maybe the Marquis needs to take action! Oh, what a bummer!" Ai Benhou said helplessly.

Hiding in the forest was the man with the black pattern painted on his face and his subordinates.

This person was from the Jinlong Dynasty and was a member of the royal family of the Jinlong Dynasty. His name was Li Xiangju.

There was a short man standing next to Li Xiangyu, who was the Ruan Hongyu they had mentioned before. "Sir, they have stopped!" Ruan Hongyu said softly.

"It seems they have discovered us." Li Xiangju said indifferently.

Ruan Hongyi rolled his eyes and said, "Should we still take action?"

He actually didn't want to rob and kill the Yang family's team, because he was a spy arranged by the Jinlong Dynasty to collect intelligence in Nanjiang Town, and most of his men were also spies.

Moreover, the object of their loyalty was not the Jinlong royal family, but the powerful Ning family of the Jinlong Dynasty.

In the past thirty years, because of Qu Changkong, the Jinlong royal family suffered heavy losses. Even a congenital warrior was lost at the hands of Qu Changkong, causing the Jinlong royal family to become increasingly weak. It was only the Ning family that rose strongly in the Jinlong Dynasty.

Although the Jinlong Royal Court is still in the hands of the Li family, the Ning family has actually controlled most of the military power of the Jinlong Dynasty.

However, the Ning family did not rebel to seize power after all, and the Ning family remained as subjects of King Jinlong.

"What? Do you want to escape from the battlefield?" Li Xiangju looked at Ruan Hongxian coldly, as if he was ready to chop Ruan Hongxian to death at any time.

Ruan Hongyan smiled awkwardly, "How could that be? I'm just afraid that the loss will be too great and affect Master Ning Jue's plan."

"Shut up." Li Xiangju hated Ning Jue very much. In his eyes, Ning Jue was a traitor of the Jinlong Dynasty.

"Since the ambush fails, let's rob and kill them head-on!"

Li Xiangju drew the scimitar from his waist and shouted, "Kill them!"

Ruan Hongxuan had no choice but to give his subordinates the order: "Kill them!"

"kill!"

The next moment, more than two hundred warriors rushed towards the Yang family’s convoy.

Yang Zhengshan looked at these people with his eyes slightly narrowed. There were not many of them, but they seemed very strong.

"Form a formation!" When Ai Benhou saw the thieves appear, he quickly gave orders to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers around him were all his personal followers and the elite of Nanjiang Town, but this time they were escorting the Yang family's team to Nanhua City. It would be more accurate to say that they were accompanying them.

Therefore they did not wear iron armor, but only light leather armor.

When two hundred personal followers meet more than two hundred spies from the Jinlong Dynasty, it is hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker.

In fact, the Yang family did not bring many guards. Yang Zhengshan only brought ten personal followers, and the Yang family only brought twenty-four guards. The rest were slaves.

They came to marry, not to fight, so naturally they wouldn't bring too many people.

These guards and servants were from different families, both young and old, and were specially selected by Yu Qingyi as a dowry for Yang Wanqing.

"Dad!" Yang Mingcheng ran over from behind with a gun in hand.

Yang Zhengshan said calmly: "Go and help General Ai! There are several powerful bandit leaders in there!"

Yang Mingcheng's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

Without saying a word, he rode his horse forward, took the lead, passed the soldiers around Ai Benhou, and rushed directly out of the army formation of Ai Benhou's personal followers.

Ai Benhou was stunned and quickly reminded: "Uncle Yang, be careful!"

But Yang Mingcheng didn't care at all, and shouted at the group of bandits blocking the road: "You bandits, come and die!"

Yang Zhengshan's hand, which was stroking his beard, suddenly stopped. Whose stupid son is this? Just go up and kill him. Why are you shouting?

Yang Mingcheng was also very frustrated. His cultivation had been increasing rapidly over the years, but he had almost no chance to fight. On weekdays, he would just practice with the guards at home. When practicing with the guards, he had to be cautious for fear of hurting them.

Even though Wu Zhan and Wu Zheng sparred with him, he did not display his martial arts to the fullest.

Now that he finally had the chance to take action, he was naturally a little overly excited.

However, he was not the only one in the Yang family who was feeling depressed, there was someone else who was feeling even worse.

Just after complaining about his stupid son, Yang Zhengshan looked up suddenly and saw a figure flying in the air. The next moment, a sword shadow appeared in front of him.

I saw a long skirt fluttering, a light gauze dancing, sword light overflowing, and a string of blood beads flying.

In a short moment, more than a dozen bandits who were blocking the road fell to the ground.

The corner of Yang Zhengshan's mouth twitched slightly, Madam, could you please restrain yourself a little?
You will make your husband feel embarrassed by doing this.

"Kill the thief!"

Suddenly, another shout sounded beside Yang Zhengshan, and Yang Zhengshan quickly reached out and grabbed Yang Mingzhao who was riding a horse.

"What do you want to do, kid?"

"I want to help my mother kill the bandits! Dad, please let me go!" Yang Mingzhao said anxiously.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless for a moment, "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're still thinking about killing bandits? Don't go over and cause trouble!"

"Dad!" Yang Mingzhao looked at Yang Zhengshan with dissatisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan carried him horizontally on the horse's back and slapped him on the buttocks, "You are not even a warrior, are you going there to die?"

Yang Mingzhao was immediately deflated when he heard this, "Dad, when can I become a warrior!"

"You can become a warrior when you turn fifteen!" Yang Zhengshan said unhappily.

"That will take another three years!" Yang Mingzhao looked at the battle ahead with a longing look.

Yang Chengye rode over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little uncle, three years will pass quickly!"

"Why don't you go?" Yang Mingzhao said to Yang Chengye.

"My nephew's martial arts skills are limited, so I won't go over and cause trouble!" Yang Chengye looked at the soldiers in front, and then looked at Ai Benhou who was still in a daze.

Ai Benhou was very confused at this time. It would have been fine if Yang Mingcheng rushed forward, but Yu Qingyi also rushed forward.

The key point is that the cultivation level displayed by Yu Qingyi seems to be at the innate level!
"Madam Hou is a congenital warrior?"

Ai Benhou was a little confused.

It's not like he hadn't seen Yu Qingyi in the past two days. In his eyes, Yu Qingyi was just a noble woman. Although her every move was somewhat heroic, she didn't look like a warrior.

He didn't know that Yu Qingyi was originally a martial artist. In fact, in the circle of nobles in Kyoto, most people had already ignored Yu Qingyi's background.

Occupying the position and nurturing the spirit, Yu Qingyi has been living in the inner house all these years. Not to mention other people, even she herself has almost forgotten the world of martial arts. She has become accustomed to the identity of the marquis's wife and has adapted to the life of the powerful.

Of course, it is difficult to change one's nature. Although Yu Qingyi has undergone a complete transformation on the outside, she is still the same chivalrous woman who enjoys taking revenge and settling scores.

Yu Qingyi and Yang Mingcheng, one was an innate warrior and the other was half a step to innate, took action and killed most of the bandits in a short while.
