Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 178 Robbers
On the very night the notices were issued to each county, a group of disguised guards emerged from the belly of County Commandant Liu and headed towards the only route between Quan County and Qingzhou Prefecture…
When Gu Yunyi and the others returned from the banquet, it wasn't too late, but they all smelled faintly of alcohol.

When they returned, Xu Qingmeng was already packing her things. They hadn't brought much with them when they came, but they had quite a lot when they left.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang went out for a long time in the afternoon and bought many things that were not available in Quan County.

There were gifts for Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, gifts for the He family, gifts for Xin Ting and Xun Ge'er, gifts for the disciples of Jinxiuxuan, and of course, gifts for the Xu family.

Xu Qingmeng packed up a whole bunch of bags, big and small, of all kinds.

When Gu Yunyi returned, he was shocked to see the bundles scattered all over the floor.

Xu Qingmeng explained, and he chuckled, "Judging from this, it seems that I didn't bring anything with me when I took the prefectural exam and went home empty-handed. Wasn't that a huge oversight?"

"Of course!" Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "By the way, did you see that education official today?"

"Yes, I met him. We exchanged a few words, and he seemed quite friendly," Gu Yunyi replied.

"Did you mention Mr. Shen?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head and said, "However, the gentleman wrote that he would return before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know if he has returned to Quan County yet. After I go back, I will go and see him, and then I will take you to meet him."

Xu Qingmeng nodded: "Mm."

Gu Yunyi went to wash up, but Xu Qingmeng seemed a little absent-minded.

why?

Gu Yunyi's husband is coming back, which means the female lead from the original book is about to appear.

Then he shook his head. What's meant to happen will happen eventually, why bother worrying unnecessarily?
I need to get up early tomorrow, so I went to bed early.

The carriage that had been arranged in advance had arrived. Seeing Xu Qingmeng's overflowing bundles, they quickly stepped forward to help carry them.

There was no time to make breakfast, so Xu Qingmeng and the other two just bought some steamed buns outside to eat. Hui Niang and the others also got up early to see them off.

Hui Niang really liked Xu Qingmeng, and after spending a month together, she was very reluctant to see Xu Qingmeng leave.

Xu Qingmeng said with a smile, "It won't be long. If you bring Yuanbao with you when Young Master Fang comes to the city to study, we can still meet."

The Gu family will definitely be living in Fucheng.

It's more convenient for Gu Yunyi to attend the prefectural school. Also, the educational resources in the prefectural city are definitely better than those in Quan County. Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are already past the age of starting their education.

"Oh right, how could I forget about that? When are you planning to come over? Write to me in advance so we can prepare together. That way we can be neighbors, right?" Hui Niang said happily.

Fang Ziheng looked at his wife and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

He looked at Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia: "Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, the journey is long, see you next time."

"it is good."

The carriage clattered as it sped towards the city gate.

The carriage that Gu Yunyi found was quite large, so the three of them didn't feel too crowded inside.

Zhou Yuanjia, being single and an early riser, wisely closed his eyes to rest once he got into the carriage.

"I reckon I'll be home before noon. I got up early this morning, do you want to take a nap?"

Gu Yunyi pulled her into his arms, gesturing for her to rest on his shoulder for a while.

Xu Qingmeng was actually quite sleepy, perhaps because she was more pregnant and her drowsiness was getting worse. However, once the carriage left the city gate, it went much faster. Although the official road was quite wide, the surface was not very smooth.

How could she possibly sleep? It was a miracle she wasn't throwing up. Nevertheless, she leaned on Gu Yunyi's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest, after all, Zhou Yuanjia was still in the car.

After passing a three-way intersection, heading towards Quan County, there is a section of road with woods on both sides.

The coachman, sitting in front, suddenly pulled on the reins and whispered, "Young master, something seems amiss ahead."

The three people inside were stunned for a moment. Zhou Yuanjia was the first to lift the curtain and ask, "What happened?"

The coachman pointed solemnly into the woods ahead and said, "Young master, look, there are shadowy figures moving about in those woods. I'm worried we've encountered some villains."

Zhou Yuanjia looked at Gu Yunyi in the carriage. Their eyes met, and they both understood each other's wariness.

Xu Qingmeng opened her eyes at this moment, her hand unconsciously touching her abdomen, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

The masked man in black in front of them didn't make a move when he saw Zhou Yuanjia's face, but when he saw Gu Yunyi's face, he seemed to see some kind of signal.

Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes and carried a long knife as they walked out of the woods.

The driver was so frightened his eyes widened: "Heroes, spare my life! Spare my life..."

"Get out of the way!" Someone stepped forward, pulled the coachman down, and pushed him aside.

"What are you going to do?"

Although Zhou Yuanjia's face did not show fear, Gu Yunyi could clearly see that his hands were slightly white.

"What are you doing? This is none of your business. Get out of the way, we're looking for the one inside."

All three were stunned. Xu Qingmeng peeked through the crack and saw at least a dozen men outside, each holding a long knife, and they were coming in aggressively. Now they were saying they were looking for Gu Yunyi.

Xu Qingmeng's mind raced.

This road is an official road with many horse-drawn carriages, and it is also the only way for students to return home. Moreover, how dare they do this in broad daylight?

This was clearly aimed at Gu Yunyi, and she immediately thought of County Commandant Liu.

When Gu Yunyi heard this sentence, he obviously guessed it as well.

The leading man sneered, looking Gu Yunyi up and down, then glancing at Zhou Yuanjia: "Blame the chief clerk next to you?"

Zhou Yuanjia didn't understand, but he also knew that this wasn't the time to ask.

The leader was extremely ruthless, and slashed straight at Gu Yunyi with his sword. Zhou Yuanjia reacted quickly and pulled Gu Yunyi towards him.

"Bang!" The long sword struck the top of the carriage, leaving a deep mark.

"Do you even know that you're in this state because of him? You even saved him. He's dead, and only then could you possibly live," the leader said with a cold sneer.

"Bullshit! How dare you commit such a violent act in broad daylight with so many of you? Don't you have any respect for the law? And you're even trying to stir up trouble here? You underestimate me!" Zhou Yuanjia cursed angrily.

The leader burst into another fit of maniacal laughter: "The law? Your grandpa is the law."

"You guys come here and pull them down!"

"Yes."

Although Zhou Yuanjia spoke with such confidence, his face was actually pale.
