Chapter 123 Unexpected
In the team, only Feng Jian and Cheng Yousheng rode horses. The two drove the horses to the carriage where the three girls were riding. Feng Jian ordered Pan Zhaoying to slow down, and then asked Su Su in the carriage to take out five taels of silver and hand it over to Cheng Yousheng, asking him to buy food.
Five taels of silver is 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one thousand yuan of Chinese coins in later generations. Five taels of silver are naturally more than enough to buy some buns and steamed buns and other food to satisfy your hunger.
Cheng Yousheng took the silver and turned his horse's head toward the nearby market. Feng Jian saw that the three women in the carriage showed a little uneasy expression, so he planned to comfort the three of them.
Xiaozhan was very quick-witted. When he saw Feng Jian coming to the front, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng, Xiaozhan saw many people leaning into the carriage and looking around. He didn't look like a good person. Isn't it peaceful outside?"
There was a silver box beside Su Su. At this moment, she hugged the silver box tightly with her hands, blinking her bright eyes at Feng Jian, meaning that no one would want to take the silver box from her. In Su Su's mind, what Feng Jian entrusts was the top priority!
Among the three, Chen Qinglan showed the most calmness. Although his cold eyes seemed a little anxious, he still looked at Feng Jian quietly.
The expressions of the three of them fell into Feng Jian's eyes one by one, and naturally felt a different feeling in his heart.
Feng Jian smiled and said, "This place is close to a densely populated place. Small bandits dare to commit casual crimes, and large bandits have nowhere to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, although someone peeks at them, no thief dares to attack us."
The little hairpin patted the little ** and said, "Brother Feng said that there are no bandits who dare to make bad ideas, so the little hairpin is relieved! Miss, Sister Su, do you think so?"
Su Su let go of the silver box with both hands, and said proudly in her tone: "Of course, even if there are those unopposed bandits who dare to break up their ideas, is our Huluyan Zhenshan Camp a decoration? How powerful are the bandits in Sow Ridge? They are still defeated by Zhenshan Camp!"
Chen Qinglan said lightly: "Since the commander personally escorted the little girl back, naturally everything has been arranged. The three of us should not make any guesses, so as not to cause trouble for others!"
Feng Jian squinted his eyes and looked at the face covered by the veil, as if he was comforting and swearing, and said softly: "This place is still twenty miles away from Pingdu City. Please be relieved. Even if I, Feng Jian, lose my life, I, will not let the thieves hurt you!"
As soon as he said that, the eyes of the three women suddenly changed tremendously, and the little hairpin looked at her lady with joy; Su Su's face turned pale, her bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her hands subconsciously hugged the silver box; and the jade ring under Chen Lilan's veil suddenly turned into a scorch, and her beautiful eyes looked at Feng Jian in surprise.
Then his eyes quickly turned to Su Su, and when he saw Su Su's pale face, he sighed inwardly: "Please respect the commander. The little woman just wants to go home and get together with her family soon."
After Feng Jian said this, he felt he was reckless. When he saw Su Su's expression suddenly felt a little guilty. He quickly remedyed it and said, "Of course Su'er is the same. With me, Feng Jian, there is no one to hurt you."
Su Su nodded with tears as if her thread had broken, and she nodded with sobs: "Su'er understands Feng Jian, you won't leave me alone... Woo... Feng Jian, don't worry, Sister Li Lan and Xiao Zhan are both Su'er's sisters!" She said and covered her mouth.
Feng Jian's eyes suddenly became wet. The kindness, virtuousness and dedication of women in this era were reflected in Su Su. How could he let her down when this woman was tolerant of her love for herself?
Xiaozhan held Su Su's arm and said, "Sister Su Su, as long as you don't dislike it, Xiaozhan is willing to be good sisters with you."
Chen Qinglan looked at Su Su apologetically with a clear look, patted her arm gently and said, "Su'er, you said we will always be good sisters. I remember my sister, and I am willing to be good sisters with you!"
After saying that, he let out a sigh, turned to Feng Jian and said, "Commander should take the lead and hurry up. Li Lan is now home!"
Feng Jian looked at Su Su and Chen Qinglan. He felt that the two of them seemed to have some tacit understanding. He rubbed his nose that was blown red by the cold wind and said, "Okay, Miss Li Lan, Su'er, you all sit down. Let's speed up the road now. This commander will go to the front to take a look."
After saying that, he glanced at Pan Zhaoying, who seemed to be concentrating on driving the carriage, and said, "Fatty Pan!"
The scene just now was completely taken into consideration by Pan Zhaoying. He admired the commander in his heart. It seemed that Miss Chen was quite affectionate to the commander. It was incredible! If the commander really became the son-in-law of the Pingdu Prefectural House, hehe... Huluyan would benefit from it...
Hearing the commander's shout, Pan Zhaoying was shocked and quickly said, "The villain is here, please give me instructions."
Feng Jian grinned at Pan Zhaoying and said, "Fatty, speed up the carriage, we need to arrive at Pingdu City as soon as possible!"
Pan Zhaoying was shocked and quickly shook the whip and said, "Say, go..."
Prosecutor Feng turned his horse and walked towards the front. This area should be safe. Ordinary bandits would not choose densely populated areas to rob.
After about one stick of incense, the entire team walked to the vicinity of Zhangjiaji in Xiaohuakou, and saw Cheng Yousheng standing by the road with a big bag on his back, holding a horse.
Next to the official road are some local grocery vendors. Occasionally, firecrackers can be heard from afar. Some shopkeepers who are visiting the market are lively and are watching from afar.
Most of these vendors who dare to set up stalls beside the official road are rogues, and they often do things like buying and selling forcibly.
At first, when Cheng Yousheng was immediately hung a large bag of food, several vendors were quite interested in robbing him. When they saw this horse rider holding a knife in his hand, they looked fierce, and they immediately became honest. They wanted to attack the other party, but the other party's knife was not eye-catching!
Some sharp-eyed vendors suddenly discovered that more than ten carriages were coming from the distance, and it seemed that they were still carriages loading with goods. These people felt that the opportunity had come. If this was a carriage that trafficked foreign goods, see if they could buy a batch from them and sell them back.
These small vendors gathered together and walked towards the Huluyan people noisily. Before they got close to the convoy, they saw more than twenty men holding swords and guns running out of the convoy. It seemed that these small vendors would take a step forward, and the swords and guns in their hands would ruthlessly strike head-on.
The small vendors were frightened, and a few bold ones tried to shout to each other, but no one on the other side took care of them. More than 20 guards held their weapons and walked forward in unison, and more than ten large cars followed behind slowly.
In the end, these vendors who planned to force their purchases and sell had to scatter and leave the team to travel south.
Feng Jian signaled Cheng Yousheng to get on the horse and leave the scope of the market first.
Cheng Yousheng understood and carried the bag in his hand on his back, turned his body and followed the team toward the south.
The young and old in the market speculated where the merchants came from, and they didn't know what valuable goods they brought. The fierce and evil guards didn't even let them get close to them and observe them!
Some ill-intentioned people in the market began to convey their eyes to each other and make their own ideas!
There are many people in this market. If there are people who are ill-intentioned and hijacking convoys, it will be very difficult to deal with the more than 20 people in Zhenshan Camp.
Therefore, Feng Jian tried his best to urge everyone to pass through Xiaohuakou Zhangjiaji quickly to avoid being intercepted in such a place with many people.
After walking out of Xiaohuakouji Town, the official road ahead began to be built relatively wide. Feng Jian looked around and saw that there was a plain area around and the fields were covered with yellow weeds. Thieves should not be hidden here.
"Wu" Feng Jianyi stepped on the reins and turned his head to instruct: "Everyone can take a break here, eat some steamed buns and buns to make a meal, and then we're on the way."
Both the soldiers in Zhenshan Camp and the driver who drove the car behind him breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed forward inexplicably just now, and it seemed that he was a false alarm!
Neither Feng Jian nor Zhenshan Camp soldiers noticed that there was a drainage ditch that was more than half a person deep next to the mountain road, and there was no way for Tibetans to see when standing on the road.
If Xu Yannian or Zhao Shougang and other careful people are here, they will definitely pay attention and remind Feng Jian and others to send someone to investigate around them first, so that they can only stay for dinner and rest after ensuring safety!
This escort investigation was originally a matter of Cheng Yousheng, but he is now carrying a big bag of food, waiting to be distributed to everyone. Now he can only follow Feng Jian and prepare to distribute food.
Feng Jian stopped the horse and turned to instruct Cheng Yousheng: "First share the meals with everyone, so that everyone can finish eating quickly and then go on a rush. In addition, the meals of the three people in the carriage will be delivered to them by the commander."
Cheng Yousheng immediately got off his horse and opened the big bag, but saw a lot of steaming meat buns and steamed buns inside the bag.
Cheng Yousheng shouted: "Two team captains come to collect food, and the rest of the soldiers stopped temporarily and stayed alert. Fan Li, Bao Feng, you two came to pick up the handlebars of the car to take away the food..."
Feng Jian received a bag of steamed buns and buns, and turned his horse's head to head for Chen Lilan and the other two.
Suddenly, Feng Jian saw many figures appearing on both sides of the road from the corner of his eyes. In an instant, Feng Jian was shocked. No! There were bandits ambushing in the ditches on both sides of the road, and there were a lot of people. Feng Jian was sweating all over his body!
Before Feng Jian could think about it, he shouted loudly: "All people are on guard, there are thieves!" After saying that, he threw away the steamed buns in his hand, and ran back to Cheng Yousheng with the reins of the horse, shouted: "Get on the horse quickly, I'll be ambushed when I encounter a bandit! If the situation is critical, you will immediately ride out and find Zhou Lu'er to support him."
Without saying a word, Cheng Yousheng threw away his food and turned around and stepped onto the war horse. The two team leaders who came to Cheng Yousheng to collect things immediately turned around and ran back to their respective teams without waiting for Feng Jian's order.
I saw thieves hiding on both sides of the ditches rushing towards the road. There were about 100 of these thieves, and they were about to surround Feng Jian and his group, including the people and the carriage.
Some of the thieves shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't stop, just go up and disperse them. If you encounter resistance, you will kill them." The thieves on both sides of the mountain road shouted, waving their messy weapons and began to rush forward to the Huluyan team.
The road width is limited. Once more than 100 thieves rushed to the road, it would be difficult for more than 20 people in Zhenshan Camp to withstand the siege of more than 100 people on the other side.
