Mu Huagui

Chapter 158
Chen Jiao'er felt more and more uneasy, pinched the handkerchief and said to Su's mother, "Have someone help the carriage that is blocking the road ahead, let's go back home quickly."

Mother Su agreed to pass on the word, and soon several servants stepped forward, ready to help move the carriage where the horse had run away.At this moment, the people who were blocking the official road in front suddenly drew out their long knives and swung the servants away.

The defenseless servant was cut down to the ground in an instant, wailed tragically, and rolled on the ground.The guards who had nothing to do around the back finally reacted at this time.The leader shouted, "Protect the concubine." They surrounded Chen Jiao'er's carriage, while the servants rushed to the outside of Chen Jiao'er's carriage.

At this time, they can only count on the guards to protect them comprehensively.The leader of the guard drew out his long knife and raised it in front of him, "This is the family of the Prince of Dongjun. If a friend on the road is short of money, just squeak, and I, Lei Shanhu, will offer it with both hands. If not, you will not be able to escape, Hurting the family members of the royal family is a serious crime against the nine clans. Don't be deceived by others for a little money, and regret it in the end."

Chen Jiao'er was protected by the flustered mother Su and Zhang, who held Chen Jiao'er's hand on the left and right, shaking non-stop.Wanqian and Licorice, who were sitting outside the carriage, also squeezed in, panicked and overwhelmed.

Hearing the loud bell-like voice of the guards outside, Chen Jiao'er knew that he was delaying time.I just hope that the people sent to find the prince to rescue the soldiers can arrive soon.

Lei Shanhu has the same thoughts now, he lives a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, and beating and killing is a common occurrence.But since entering the gate of the palace, after decades, he has restrained his temper.

Could it be that the ones being protected were noble or powerful people, if something happened, it would be useless to kill everyone.It is good to be able to fight without bloodshed, even if it costs some money.

What's more, the person sitting inside is the pregnant concubine, not to mention that something happened, even if she was frightened, the consequences would be very serious.

A maroon horse ran over from a distance, Lei Shanhu's heart sank, he recognized that it was the horse ridden by the person Shi Zifei asked him to send out.The horse ran closer, and everyone could see clearly that the one lying horizontally on the horse's back was the owner of the horse.

This person's body was limp, his hands and feet were hanging down weakly, he seemed to be dying, and the horse's belly was completely red with blood.It is not clear whether it is the blood of the horse or the blood of the owner.

"Fool." A mournful cry came from the guard who had become friends with Hanzi.

"Brothers, cheer up. If you can protect the concubine well and go back, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver per person. The fool's parents and palace will die in retirement, and his wife and children will take care of them to the end. There is no room for thieves to run rampant." Lei Shanhu already understood that today is a situation of endless death.

Knowing that they are from the Dongjun Prince's Mansion, but still dare to kill people to block the way, they are clearly desperadoes.Relying on the guards of these palaces, Lei Shanhu's palms were sweating, and he tightly held the handle of the knife.

Sure enough, after seeing Hanzi's body, the person on the opposite side smiled triumphantly, "We only want the concubine, and we don't want to kill innocent people in vain. Your reinforcements are gone. If you still resist, you will die."

Lei Shanhu let out a loud "Bah" and roared, "Don't confuse people here. If we can protect the concubine well today, even if our brother dies, the family will be taken care of by the palace, and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. If we just watch the concubine being killed Captive, we can flee to the end of the world, but our parents and family members will only be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of our lives. Even if we die, we will still be lonely ghosts who cannot enter the ancestral hall for the rest of our lives."

Since ancient times, the parents' ancestral hall has held a very important weight in the hearts of the world.The few guards who hadn't gone through this kind of formation, saw the gleaming long knife in the opponent's hand, began to waver, heard this, and quietly held the weapon that had been placed on the ground again.

If something happened to the concubine, how could the palace spare her? Could it be that the king's land is the biggest place in the world, so she can escape there.Even if he escaped by himself, how did his parents and family escape? Thinking of these, the guards all made up their minds to die.

Chen Jiaoer secretly rejoiced that there was someone like Lei Shanhu among the guards.Otherwise, today is in danger.

Chen Jiao'er heard the sound of golden spears coming from outside, the screams of the injured, and the roar of Lei Shanhu from time to time.He wanted to lift the curtain of the car to see the battle situation, but was held back by Zhang's mother.

"If we don't look at the situation outside, we can only sit here and wait for death." Chen Jiao'er didn't know where the strength came from, and shook off Mama Zhang's hand.

The battle outside can no longer be called intense, it can only be called tragic.The guards were all hanged, and there were many corpses of domestic servants lying on the ground.

"Give me your clothes." Wanxi suddenly knelt down to Chen Jiao'er in the carriage.Everyone understood what she meant, and Zhang's mother was the first to say, "Good idea, let Wanxi wear Shizifei's clothes and escape."

"No." Before Chen Jiao'er finished speaking, she was rushed up by several people and took off her coat.He took the seat on the carriage and rolled it up around her waist to tie it up. Licorice neatly helped her re-tie her hair, and pulled a very precious gold hairpin from Chen Jiao'er's head and inserted it into her bun.

"Mother Zhang..." When Wanqian was about to jump off the carriage, she found that Mother Zhang was following behind, and she couldn't help shouting.

"How can there be no mother-in-law by the concubine's side?" After finishing speaking, Mama Zhang said to the concubine, "The old slave and Wanqian are leaving first, and the concubine takes care." After finishing speaking, she resolutely pulled Wanxi out of the carriage and walked out of the official road to the wilderness.

"Mother Zhang, Wanxi..." Chen Jiao'er yelled weakly from behind, tears welled up, and she almost fell to the ground.

What on earth did she do, what did she do? Seeing the people around her go to die, she was helpless.Obviously I already have an identity and a status, why, but I still can't do anything.

Mother Su pushed away the seat of the carriage, and there was a dark layer inside, so that one person could squat down.Mother Su and Licorice worked together to stuff Chen Jiao'er in. "Miss, I am wronged. No matter what happens outside, I beg you, please don't make a sound."

"No, I can't let you... They don't dare to hurt me, I'll go out..." Chen Jiao'er was still struggling, and heard that someone outside had divided up to chase.The heart feels like colic, how can the old and the weak run past those thieves on horseback.

"Miss, listen to us. If we can't keep you, everyone will be angered by the prince and concubine, and the whole family will die. If we want to protect you, even if we die, at least the family will have no worries. If you are really good for them, protect them well." Myself." Licorice cried and pushed the seat back into place.

The opponent has twice as many people as the guards, if it wasn't for Lei Shanhu's hard work to support him by attacking left and right, the formation would have been broken long ago.

Seeing the concubine escape from the carriage, Lei Shanhu secretly calls the woman something bad, but notices that the hair accessories are different.Only a few people were assigned to chase and confuse the thieves, but he still stayed here.Seeing that everyone was panting like a cow, their eyes were bloodshot, they tried their best to support them, and shouted, "I have sent someone to deliver a message on the side road when they launched. If you support them for a while, the prince's reinforcements will arrive soon."

These words stimulated their own people and also stimulated the other party. The thieves speeded up their attacks silently, and they already had an advantage in numbers.This time the attack was even tighter, and with a scream, a tall man flew up.

The originally fragile defense outside the carriage was torn open, and the opponent rushed into four or five people in an instant, raising their knives and slashing at the carriage.

Mother Su and licorice fell out of the carriage, and the thief scolded after seeing it, "The one who ran just now is really the right one, chase after him."

After talking about the remaining ten or so people on the other side, they quickly assembled the team and chased in the direction where Wanxi and Zhang's mother fled.

Lei Shanhu counted the number of guards. The guards suffered heavy casualties. There were only two or three people who could stand up. The servants were even more miserable. Almost none of them could stand up. .

The other party also paid dozens of lives, and those who could stand up kicked the thief's corpse a few times as if venting their anger.

He went to help the people on the ground up again. They carried wound medicines with them. After bandaging each other with medicines, Lei Shanhu came over and said to Mama Su, "We must hurry up and take the concubine into the city. We will be safe when we arrive at the city gate." gone."

Mother Su was a little surprised, Lei Shanhu actually knew that the one who ran out was not Shi Zifei.Chen Jiao'er's face flushed red as she and Licorice helped the imperial concubine out of the dark layer. She couldn't breathe well in the dark layer just now, and her chest felt like convulsions.

The injured can only stay where they are and wait.For the others, Chen Jiao'er glanced silently, there were only four guards plus Lei Shanhu, and there were herself, Mother Su and licorice.

The mare on the carriage was frightened just now, and she didn't know where she went.Lei Shanhu found a small carriage in which a servant was sitting, harnessed his own horse, and a group of people drove the carriage towards the city gate.

Lei Shanhu's horse hadn't been harnessed to a carriage, and still ran fast according to his temperament. Chen Jiao'er clutched his belly, feeling the uneasy noise of the fetus inside.

It was as if all the viscera and six internal organs were stirred, and the whole body was curled up into a ball, which couldn't make myself feel better.Seeing this, Mother Su hurriedly poked her head out of the carriage to let Lei Shanhu slow down.

When the carriage slowed down, Chen Jiao'er felt more comfortable.The fetus in the womb puts its feet against her stomach and stretches itself in the womb, unaware that its mother is at a critical moment of life and death.

After walking for a while, Lei Shanhu said from outside the carriage, "Concubine Shizi, at this speed, the subordinates may not reach the city gate, and the gang of thieves have already realized that something is wrong, so turn around and chase them back."

It is impossible for Wanxi's footsteps to compare with those thieves. If they catch up and find something wrong, they will turn their horses and chase after them immediately.At that time, with these scarred and scarred people, even if Lei Shanhu has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to protect everyone comprehensively.

"What can Lei Huyuan do? Just say it straight." Chen Jiao'er was already so annoyed that she didn't know what to do, knowing that the other party had bad intentions, she insisted on going out of the house willfully.Self-blame made her emotions fall to the bottom, and her heart felt cramped, for Wanqian Zhang's mother, and for those who died.
