A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 130 The Scholar's Dilemma

Once a human escort dies, there will be a lot of trouble afterwards. Not to mention the claims from his family, once a human escort dies, it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the Yuanshun Escort.

Duan Rong's quick response to the situation was noticed by everyone, even the usually cold and arrogant Liu Ao couldn't help but glance at Duan Rong.

Sun Huang looked solemn, and said to everyone, "No rest tonight! Let's eat quickly, and we'll set off right after dinner!"

As soon as Sun Huang finished speaking, the sound of slurping soup was heard in the dilapidated temple. After the meal, the escorts did not even wash the bowls. They just wiped them with a rag and piled them in the pot.

Lu Feng put the cooking utensils back into the net bag under the escort car!

The escorts brought the horses back from outside the temple gate, loaded the escort cart with the horses, and pulled it out!
Then, everyone held torches and rushed along the official road all night long!
It was already dawn. After a night of running, the torches in their hands had burned out. In the dim morning light, they could see the city wall of Sheqi County from afar, dark as a crouching beast.

Just when everyone felt a little relieved, they suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hooves behind them, as fast as thunder. In the hazy morning light, a team of light cavalry, like black dots, quickly chased after them!
The escort team brought an escort carriage with them, and the horses were exhausted after running all night, so they obviously could not outrun the light cavalry behind them!
Sun Huang immediately reined in his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! Form a formation!"

The escort team stopped immediately upon hearing the noise. The porters Tang Dejin and Ren Tiewa jumped off their horses, untied the horses from the escort cart, and tied them to trees on the side of the road to prevent the horses from getting frightened and pulling the goods into the wild!

Then, the two men pulled out the crossbow from the escort vehicle, took Li Yuliang, hid behind the escort vehicle, lowered their bodies, and put their fingers on the trigger of the crossbow!
The escort masters reined in their horses, drew their swords, surrounded the escort vehicle, and were ready for battle!
The team of light cavalry behind him was approaching quickly. The chaotic sound of horse hooves was as dense as drum beats, becoming more and more pleasant and clear...

The team of light cavalry, about a dozen people, were dressed in fine clothes and riding fine horses. With the sound of horse hooves, they raised a cloud of dust on the official road!

After a few breaths, he arrived!

The leader was a man in his early thirties, with a gloomy complexion and a thin face. He stopped his horse about ten feet away, and his hawk-like eyes swept over the members of the escort team, then stared at the face of Li Yuliang who was hiding behind the escort car!
When Li Yuliang saw the person coming, his originally fair face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.

The man suddenly reined in his horse and shouted, "Li Yuliang, you got someone pregnant and you just want to walk away? How can such a good thing happen in this world? You are a scholar! If you still have some shame, just walk out on your own!"

Li Yuliang was so annoyed by the man's shouting that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but seeing the other party's attitude, how could he dare to go out?
Hong Yan didn't really expect that these few words could provoke Li Yuliang. In fact, half of what he said was actually intended for the people from Yuanshun Escort Agency to hear.

This Hong Yan is the chief guard of the Wang family in Qingchuan County!
Qingchuan County is a neighboring county of Xiangu County, and the Wang family of Qingchuan County is one of the major forces in the county.

The head of the Wang family had several wives and concubines before he was thirty years old, but he had no children. It was not until he was almost forty that he finally had a son, whom he had always treated like a treasure.

When he was eight years old, he hired a teacher at home to teach him some literary knowledge.

The person invited is Li Yuliang in front of him.

However, they didn't expect that Li Yuliang, who often appeared in the mansion, had an affair with the concubine of the head of the Wang family.

He also got the concubine pregnant.

The head of the Wang family is old and has suffered from dizziness and weakness in the past six months. The doctor recommended that he stop having sex and rest for a year.

He hadn't touched the concubine for more than half a year, but she suddenly became pregnant. How could the head of the family not be annoyed?

He was immediately hung up and tortured with a whip!
But the woman was actually quite sentimental and refused to utter Li Yuliang's name!
It was Li Yuliang himself who heard some rumors and was frightened. He left without saying goodbye and fled in a hurry, thus exposing himself!

Although Li Yuliang fled in a hurry, he also had some calculations. He did not directly find an escort agency in Qingchuan County to escort him. After all, the Wang family was very successful in Qingchuan County and they often had contacts with various major forces!

He first rode a fast horse and fled to Xiangu County. In Xiangu County, he asked Yuanshun Escort Agency to escort him to Ruyang Prefecture to seek refuge with his aunt. His aunt's family was quite powerful in the martial arts world and had loved him since he was a child. As long as he escaped, they would definitely protect him!
The head of the Wang family asked Hong Yan to bring people to intercept and kill Li Yuliang, and ordered him not to let Li Yuliang escape back to his aunt.

When Hong Yan and his men arrived at Xiangu County, the escort team that was escorting Li Yuliang had already set off!
Although the Yuanshun Escort Agency was located in Xiangu County, it had radiated to the surrounding major prefectures and counties and had opened up several dangerous escort routes, so its business was indeed quite large.

Hong Yan did not want to confront the Yuanshun Escort Agency head-on, so he hired a killer to ambush in a dilapidated temple that the escort team had to pass through, hoping to take the opportunity to assassinate Li Yuliang, and that would be enough to get the job done.

But, unexpectedly, the assassin failed! He had no choice but to show up and discuss the matter with the people from Yuanshun Escort Agency to see if there was any room for maneuver.

Hong Yan sat on his horse, looking at Sun Huang, and said solemnly, "Are you Sun Huang, the escort from Yuanshun Escort Agency?"

Sun Huang did not answer him, but asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

Hong Yan said: "Qingchuan County, the leader of the Wang family's guards, Hong Yan!"

Sun Huang asked, "Captain Hong, you have mobilized so many troops, what do you want to do?"

Hong Yan pointed at Li Yuliang who was hiding behind the escort vehicle behind the escort masters and said, "This boy has done something immoral in my Wang family. I beg you, Escort Master Sun, to show mercy and let me take him back!"

"Okay!" Sun Huang said in a deep voice.

This one sentence scared Li Yuliang so much that his heart was beating so fast that he almost peed himself...

"Give it to me!" Sun Huang suddenly stretched out his hand and said to Hong Yan.

"What?" Hong Yan frowned and looked at Sun Huang in confusion.

Sun Huang said: "Arrest warrant!"

Hong Yan was furious when he heard this. Sun Huang was teasing him. He said coldly, "No!"

"You didn't arrest Lord Wen, but you want to take him from my Yuanshun Escort Agency! Chief Hong, you think I, Sun, am too easy to talk to!"

"I am treating you with courtesy, why is Captain Sun being so aggressive?"

"Treat him with courtesy. Did you arrange the assassination in the ruined temple last night?" Sun Huang said with anger and red eyes.

Hong Yan was stunned by what Sun Huang said. His eyes moved and he retorted, "This boy is so immoral! You guys escorted a man like him? Don't you do background checks when you escort people?"

"We at Yuanshun Escort Agency don't need you to worry about whether or not we do background checks!"

"So there's no more light?"

"Still talking about your mother!" Sun Huang cursed. You've come to my house to kill me, and you're still pretending to be a fucking fool. Treat me with courtesy!
Hong Yan was furious, his face fierce, he pulled out a spear from his back, and while on his horse, he suddenly jumped up, like an eagle striking the sky, and swung the spear in his hand, and pointed it at Sun Huang...
