Chapter 234 Attacked, Fleeing
The weather cleared and the roads reopened.

Xie Yunzhi immediately took people to escort Rong Chan and Jiang Yi to continue their journey towards the capital.

Because of this sudden snowfall, their arrival date in Beijing was postponed by ten days.In order to reassure Mr. Xie in Beijing, Xie Yunzhi arranged for someone to set off first to report to Beijing when the snow on the road had mostly melted.

After the team got back on the road, Jiang Yi stopped paying attention to the scenery along the way.

To be precise, it is because there is no scenery along the road.

Looking up, it is either white or gray, and all famous mountains and rivers are completely buried in front of the heavy snow that covers everything.

"Bah!"

On the second day when the team was on the road, when the team struggled out of a long and narrow valley, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. I want to pass by from now on, and save money to buy roads!"

Bandit!

In the carriage, Jiang Yi heard the shouts outside and sat up instantly.

Rong Chan also sat up straight in an instant, and hugged Jiang Yi tightly.

At the beginning, when she returned to Beijing with the old lady of the Jiang family, she also encountered bandits on the way, and then, her life changed completely.Now, when she returned to Beijing again, she encountered bandits again.

However, after being shocked, Rong Chan breathed a sigh of relief, because she was escorted by Xie Yunzhi and Xie's personal guards when she returned to Beijing this time.

It is impossible for a group of bandits to defeat the Xie family's personal guards.

"My dear girl, don't be afraid, your uncle is very powerful!"

Rong Chan is still very confident in her eldest cousin's force.

After all, Xie Yunzhi's martial arts is really not bad.

And these bandits may not be professional bandits at all, but ordinary people who suffered disasters because of this heavy snowfall.

"kill!"

Xie Yunzhi rode his horse and galloped with a spear in his hand, he didn't take the bandits blocking the way seriously at all.In his opinion, these bandits in ragged clothes are not enough for him to kill in a few rounds.

As Xie Yunzhi rushed out, the Xie family's personal guards left a few people behind the carriage to protect them, while the others followed Xie Yunzhi and charged forward.

Ordinary bandits, as Rong Chan thought, were not enough for them to kill.

However, there is a truth in this world, which is called the proud soldier must be defeated.

Xie Yunzhi rode his horse and galloped, but he never dreamed that these bandits couldn't afford to lose, and they launched a sneak attack, and they dug traps along the way.

As the horse stepped into the air and fell headlong into the trap, Xie Yunzhi only had time to jump up from the horse's back, barely stepping on the edge of the trap.Before Xie Yunzhi could stabilize his figure, two fishing nets were thrown towards him.

Xie Yunzhi drew his knife and tried to break the fishing net with one blow.

Never thought that the opponent not only used fishing nets, but also released back arrows at the same time.

As the saying goes, it is easy to hide a sharp spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Xie Yunzhi hadn't displayed any of his abilities before he was hit by three arrows and fell towards the trap behind him.

"Eldest son!"

When Xie's family guards saw Xie Yunzhi fall into the trap, their eyes turned red.

However, suddenly many bandits appeared from both sides of the valley, everyone held bows and shot arrows all over the sky.

Although the Xie family's personal guards are all elites in all battles, facing the overwhelming arrows, they can only drink their hatred on the spot in the end.

"Go, take Miss Biao!"

Not all of the Xie family's guards in front who were covered by the rain of arrows fell down. They stood still, and some turned their heads and shouted at the few people guarding the carriage.

Rong Chan in the carriage heard the commotion outside, and walked out of the carriage with Jiang Yi in her arms. Seeing the situation ahead, her eyes turned black, her body shook for a while, and she almost fainted on the spot.

the second time!
She felt that the capital seemed to not want her to go back.

"Miss Biao, please get on your horse!"

The guard beside the carriage immediately cut off the rope of the horse pulling the cart and guided the horse to turn.

"what about you?"

Rong Chan forced herself to regain her composure, and looked at the speaking guard.

"I'll wait for Miss Biao to die!"

"Miss Biao, please get on your horse!"

Rong Chan understands that the matter has come to this point, she is no longer in her control.The first thing she needs to do is escape.

"Take care of yourself!"

Rong Chan got on the horse, hugged Jiang Yi with one hand, and grabbed the rein with the other, urged the horse, and rushed towards the valley at a high speed.

And when Rong Chan led Jiang Yi away on horseback, there was a sound of fighting behind them.

Jiang Yi's expression was super confused.

Isn't she the lucky baby?

Her luck has always been good, why is this kind of thing happening now?

Unfortunately, no matter what Jiang Yi thinks, she is running for her life with her mother.

Fortunately, this group of bandits did not send another person to block the entrance of the valley, otherwise, Jiang Yi and Rong Chan would be doomed to be caught in the urn.

Jiang Yi tried her best to hold on to Rong Chan's clothes, not crying or fussing or speaking.

Now is the time to escape, and she doesn't want to distract her mother.

When Rong Chan and Jiang Yi escaped for less than a quarter of an hour, the battle at the valley exit was completely over.

The accompanying guards of the Xie family were all killed in battle.

The thieves cleaned up the scene as quickly as possible, threw all the corpses into the traps on the road, and then covered them with soil.

Then, this group of bandits pulled out a sufficient number of horses from the woods behind them, turned on their horses, and rushed into the valley.

When the bandits rode away, the soil where the trap was located suddenly trembled slightly, and after a while, a hand came out through the soil.

The next moment, the disgraced Xie Yunzhi emerged from the ground.

Xie Yunzhi, who should have died in everyone's perception, did not die.

Although he was shot by several arrows and fell into the trap, he just passed out when he fell.Xie Yunzhi woke up when those bandits threw the body of Xie's personal guard into the trap.

Knowing that he was hopeless, he simply continued to pretend to be dead.

Then, relying on his profound skills, he held his breath and hid in the trap.

If the bandits didn't clean up the scene so quickly and left, but dawdled here for a while, then Xie Yunzhi would either suffocate himself to death in the ground, or be found by the bandits to fake his death.

Fortunately, the bandits are fast.

When he heard the sound of the rolling horseshoes and the shouting, Xie Yunzhi realized that these so-called bandits in ragged clothes were not real bandits.

They were just pretending to be bandits, and the target was naturally their group.

In other words, the goal of these people is to catch his cousin.

Xie Yunzhi looked at the wound on his body, treated the wound briefly, and then walked forward.

Even if he wanted to save Rong Chan and Jiang Yi now, it was impossible.

The only way is to go back to Beijing and let my grandfather send someone to come.

As for whether it will delay time, Xie Yun doesn't know.

He only knew that this time the matter was serious!

……

Neither Jiang Yi nor Rong Chan knew that Xie Yunzhi was not dead. Rong Chan rode the horse and galloped all the way, instead of going straight along the official road, but dismounted halfway, and turned onto a small road with Jiang Yi in her arms.

On the way to escape, Rong Chan had already figured it out, those bandits must not be real bandits.Real bandits don't have such clever calculations, nor such meticulous arrangements, let alone the waves of arrows that wiped out the Xie family's personal guards.

To put it bluntly, these so-called bandits should have come here for their mother and son.

The reason why he came here for them must have something to do with Jiang's second child.

Therefore, they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of each other.

"My dear girl, don't be afraid, mother is here, we will be fine!"

Rong Chan hugged Jiang Yi and walked straight along the mountain path. Her idea was very simple, to find a place to hide for now.After a few days, her grandfather will definitely notice something is wrong, and then someone will come to the old grudges to look for them.

Of course, before that, they had to hide and not be found by those pretending to be bandits.

At the end of the mountain path, there are no houses, only an abandoned village.

During the period when the Great Xia royal family was destroyed and the Great Xia court collapsed, Great Xia was in chaos.During this period of chaos, many people died and many villages were abandoned.

And the abandoned village in front of him is obviously one of them.

"Mom, are we going to hide here?"

Jiang Yi looked at her mother and spoke softly.

"No, we can't hide in the village!"

"We still have to go into the mountains!"

Rong Chan thought for a while, and answered with certainty.

Although the village was abandoned and many houses were collapsed by the previous heavy snowfall, there are still houses in this village that can shelter from the wind and cold.However, if they hide here, if those bandits find them, they are likely to be exposed.

Therefore, instead of staying here, they had to continue walking into the mountains to find a relatively secluded and safe place to rest temporarily.

As for food?

This village has been abandoned, but the crops in the fields planted by the villagers before are still in the fields!
Therefore, as long as they avoid the bandits' search, they don't worry about not having food.

In the end, Rong Chan took Jiang Yi to find a cave in the back mountain of this small mountain village, and caught three pheasants on the spot.

It was impossible to start a fire for fear of being discovered.

However, with three pheasants, it is also possible to hold them to keep warm at night.

When Rong Chan took Jiang Yi to hide in this cave, two uninvited guests soon came to this abandoned small mountain village, they were obviously members of those bandits.

After the two men came, they immediately started setting fire to the village.

After the houses were set ablaze, the two left disappointed.

In this area, many villages are empty.

They chased wildly, and found the horse abandoned by Rong Chan without too much effort. There was a hairpin stuck in the horse's buttocks. It was the thorns of this hairpin that made the horse go all the way. I ran a long way before.

The bandit leader thought for a while, then found another horse, and inserted a hairpin into the horse's buttocks. The depth was about the same, and the damage caused was about the same.

Then, the group of them followed the horse from a distance, and roughly determined the location of Rong Chan's abandoned horse.

I have to say, this guy is really smart.

The method is very different.

Unfortunately, horses are not the same as horses.

People are also different.

In order to let the horse run as far as possible, Rong Chan stirred vigorously after the hairpin was inserted. The sting was much stronger than just inserting it.

However, there were many bandits, so they spread out their hands, and the range of several miles before and after was within their search range.

And the abandoned mountain village that Rong Chan took Jiang Yi through was already at the edge of their search range.Coupled with the fact that the mountain road was rough and difficult to navigate, the two bandits who found the small mountain village didn't think Rong Chan and the others would go anywhere.

Speaking of which, Rong Chan's luck was too good.

Because of the melting of this heavy snow, the ground was soaked in snow water and then frozen again. As a result, she walked on this mountain road without leaving any obvious traces.

And the two bandits didn't observe very carefully, which allowed them to escape.

"Mom, the village below the mountain is on fire!"

In the cave, Jiang Yi lay at the entrance of the cave, looking at the burning village below.

Naturally, Rong Chan also saw the burning village, her expression was a bit serious.The village was on fire, it must be because someone came, and the whole village was set on fire, which meant that the bandits had found this place.

At this moment, Rong Chan even wanted to hug Jiang Yi and continue hiding in the mountains.

However, she was a little scared.

The mountains here are similar to those in Longshan Village. They are all rolling mountains. Who knows what lies deep in the mountains?
Wouldn't they be wronged if they escaped the bandits but encountered some ferocious beast?

"Mom, look over there!"

Jiang Yi looked at the burning village for a while, then looked at the mountain road entering the village, and saw the figures of the two bandits who were leaving.

Hearing Jiang Yi's words and looking in the direction of Jiang Yi's finger, Rong Chan suddenly saw the bandit's figure.

The moment she saw the bandit's figure, Rong Chan was completely relieved.

The bandits were leaving, which meant that they were safe for the time being at least.

"Mother, tell me, will they come back?"

Jiang Yi remembered that in those film and television dramas, villains would always play this kind of trick of returning the carbine.On the surface, he left, but in fact, he came back after a while, killing his carbine.

"Should not be!"

Rong Chan thought for a while, then whispered, "If they want to come back, then there's no need to set the whole village on fire. I guess they want to try this way, are we hiding in the village?"

"Mom, you are amazing!"

"Just now, if we were hiding in the village, we might have been caught by now!"

Jiang Yi flattered his mother without a trace.

Unfortunately, Rong Chan was not so happy.

Although the bandits have left, they are now trapped here.

The most important thing is that during the time they hide here, they may not be able to make a fire.

After all, if there were any accidents when the fire was lit and smoke billowed out, then they might be directly exposed.

"My dear girl, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry!"

"Mom, are you hungry?"

"My mother is not hungry!"

When Rong Chan finished saying that she was not hungry, her stomach made a rumbling sound.

 Ask for a monthly ticket!
