Chapter 234

Late Night Jungle Guest

Han Bingdie said: "That's not my credit, it's your blessing. Even without my Silun, you will have survived the disaster because of other reasons."

The Xiao family was silent. It seemed that Han Bingdie had really entered Buddhism.

Xiao Jiading said: "I will go to Beijing tomorrow morning. I have been transferred to Dali Temple Minister Zhiyi. Come and say goodbye to you."

Han Bingdie did not look up, and put his hands together and said, "As soon as you enter the Marquis' Gate, it's as deep as the sea, and the wind and waves in the capital are strong, Brother Xiao is more careful."

Having said this, there was no need to say anything further. Both of them fell into silence. After a long time, Xiao Jiading sighed and stood up and said, "Take care too. I'll leave."

Han Bingdie just stood up and put it together, and did not send him out.

—————————————

The next morning.

The carriage that the Xiao family was riding in was set off. Chimei arranged for Tubo girl Qu Zhen and the two girls who could cook, Nengzhu, to follow Xiao Jiading's personal maid, to go to the capital. The two girls carried their luggage to make another carriage.

Changsun Yanran and Wu Yueniang each had their own carriages and guards to protect them. They followed them with gifts from several large carriages given by Pan Biejia and others.

Pan Biejia brought the officials of the yamen to see off his farewell. Of course, this was mainly because of the two precious daughters, Wu Yueniang and Changsun Yanran.

After saying goodbye, Yiyi rode her horse and whipped her whip towards the capital.

Although the three of them have their own big carts, they are all lively and active people, so they don’t ride the car, but ride tall horses on their own, walking in front of the team, talking and laughing all the way.

Wu Yueniang looked at Xiao Jiading and smiled and said, "You guy, I didn't expect that you were lucky enough to be promoted to the Dali Temple Minister Zhiyi. - Do you think you can do it?"

"I can't," Xiao Jiading replied with a smile, "——Who can?"

The two girls burst into laughter all their lives, and Wu Yueniang pointed at Xiao Jiading with a whip: "You, I have never seen someone as thick-skinned as you."

Changsun Yanran hurriedly said, "Sister Wu. These days we followed Xiao Zhiyi to arrest prisoners and handle cases. I think he is very powerful! Not only is he very familiar with the provisions of criminal law, but the key is that he also has a very good understanding of deep-seated legal things. I think he has not spoken loudly. If he really can't do it, then no one can do it."

"Okay," Wu Yueniang looked at Xiao Jiading with her eyes squinted, "Because you are not doing well to us these days, I kindly remind you: The water in the capital is very deep, if you are not careful, I am afraid you won't know how you die."

"Thank you for your reminder, I don't know what I know. Can you ask both of you?"

Wu Yueniang hummed, "You don't know who I am? How can I tell you this?"

Changsun Yanran hurriedly said, "It's okay, Brother Xiao. If you have something to do, come and ask me. I will tell you."

Xiao Jiading bowed with fists and said, "Thank you!"

A few days later, they entered the endless mountains and steep mountains.

The mountain path is winding, and there are few people who walk through the dense forest.

Because they had to hurry on the road, they missed Guantou. By the end of the night, they could not encounter a mountain village. They had to camp in the wilderness.

Although Changsun Yanran and Xiao Jiading were lovers, the relationship was not made public, and Wu Yueniang didn't know that Xiao Jiading was the ugly monster who had an engagement with her, so Xiao Jiading could only live alone in her tent.

When he was about to go to bed, Xiao Jiading went out to find a tree to facilitate. Just as he was about to walk back, he suddenly saw that there was a light flashing in the jungle at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and it was suddenly visible. He couldn't help but exclaim, how could there be light in the deep mountains? Could it be that someone? No, why did he choose to live alone in this deep mountains? Moreover, from the jumping light, it should not be the light of the residence, but the bonfire or something.

A bonfire? Someone is not a hunter? Could it be an enemy?

It was still early now, and Xiao Jiading didn't want to go to bed so early, so he decided to go and take a look.

He went down the mountain alone and headed towards the bonfire.

After about half an hour, I finally got closer. Sure enough, there were a few men and women sitting around the campfire, talking. They were guarding against swords and weapons, and they seemed to be people like the gangsters.

Xiao Jiading thought about it and decided to go forward and ask clearly. He deliberately stepped on a dead branch. With a click, the few people surrounding the bonfire immediately became alert and looked over. A strong young man immediately drew out his long sword and said sternly: "Who?"

"It's me, I'm sorry, I'm lost. I saw a bonfire here and came over."

As he said that, Xiao Jiading slowly walked out of the woods. Now, he saw these people clearly, including young and old, among which a young woman, holding a single knife, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He looked at him vigilantly, and the woman said with a sharp voice: "What's wrong with you? Come here secretly, want to find out what we are talking about?"

Hearing her tone, Xiao Jiading felt very uncomfortable and said lightly: "I'm just passing by. Sorry, I don't know that the forest is from the girl."

"You! Are you intentionally making trouble..." The child and her eyebrows were raised and she was about to have an attack, but the middle-aged man waved his hand to stop him: "Mei'er, don't be rude!" He turned around and looked at Xiao Jiading in the scholar's robe, and clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, this little brother, we are also passing by here. It's dark. If the young man also camped, he can take care of each other."

"Dad!" said the woman named Mei'er, "We don't know her, why do we ask her to sit together? What if he is a bad person?"

A little boy of seven or eight years old next to her gently pulled Mei'er's sleeve: "Sister, it's not safe for him to be alone in the mountains and forests. What if he encounters a wild beast? Otherwise, let him be with us."

"What do you kid know?" Mei'er pushed him, and the little boy stood up unsteadily and fell to the ground. She didn't even look at him and walked to the middle-aged man, with a low voice, "Dad! We have a secret marshal... The customer can't make any mistakes! So you can't let outsiders follow us!"

Her voice was already very low, but Xiao Jiading still caught it with his keen ears. He felt a little wide open. It turned out that these people were escorts at the escort agency. After a closer look, it turned out that in addition to them, there was also a young man and woman, both dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked at him in panic. It seemed that if he guessed well, these two people should be their bodyguards.

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and his voice was also very low: "Because of this, we must figure out where he came from!"

Mei'er suddenly realized, thinking that her father had a long-term plan. Where did the lost scholar come from in this wilderness? Maybe there was some problem. Just drive away. If the other party had a conspiracy, he would lose the opportunity to understand the other party's conspiracy. So he had to stay and ask clearly. Then he took a step back and stopped talking.

The two travelers were also old martial arts, so they stepped forward and stopped him from left to right, with a smile on their faces: "You are a scholar, you are really unsafe in this wilderness. Let's go with us. Come on! Sit down and sit down!" After that, he reached out to grab Xiao Jiading's wrist without saying anything.

Their hands were grabbing their own vein. Xiao Jiading shook his hand and walked around it. He pretended to be holding his fists and bowed: "Thank you, thank you! That's a big mess."

The two moves were quite fast, but Xiao Jiading could easily avoid them. They were both surprised and looked at each other.

The middle-aged man saw that Xiao Jiading didn't have much martial arts in this move. Even if the other party knew martial arts, at most it was just some self-defense skills. He felt relieved and hurriedly used a color on the two moves, asking them not to make rash things. Then he bowed and said, "Is your surname your little brother?"

"Don't be proud of the young surname Xiao, Xiao Dalang."

"I! It turns out that it is Brother Xiao, my surname is Leng, and my name is Leng Chi." He pointed to the woman named Mei'er, "This is a little girl, and her name is Leng Mei." He pointed to the little boy who slowly got up from the ground, "This is a dog, and his name is Leng Jian." He pointed to the others, "These are all relatives of our family. We went to the village in front to visit relatives. Please sit down!"

Xiao Jiading bowed: "I'm disturbing." Then he sat down next to Leng Chi, Leng Chi took a piece of cooked beef and handed it to Xiao Jiading, "Didn't you eat anything?"

Leng Mei, who was standing beside him, said: "What did he eat? He didn't bring anything with him. He was walking around the mountains and fields. Isn't this asking for death!"

The two sluts laughed.

Xiao Jiading also smiled: "I originally had a luggage, but I met a few thieves and snatched my luggage. Fortunately, I met you, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

The young man and woman in brocade clothes sat there, staring at Xiao Jiading with caution and not speaking.

Leng Mei smiled and said, "Is that so? I don't know how much money there is in the package? Then the thief who snatched your package has made a fortune now...?"

Leng Jian, a little boy sitting next to Xiao Jiading, interrupted his sister: "Sister! I didn't mess with you, but I just passed by here and saw a fire, so I came over to take a look. There is no need to speak like this to harm others, right?"

"You little brat, what do you know? Shut up!"

Leng Jian pouted in dissatisfaction and glared at him.

Xiao Jiading smiled and touched Leng Jian's little head: "You are right. I'm just passing by here. It seems that I'm disturbing you. I'd better leave!"

"No!" Leng Mei said sharply.

The young man in brocade also said quickly: "Brother, go there! It's dark, be careful."

The woman in brocade seemed to be a little reluctant, so she glanced at the man and said to Xiao Jiading: "Brother, why don't you take a torch and go up, and then you will be the post road. Walk along the post road, which is relatively safer."

Xiao Jiading looked at her gratefully: "Thank you. No need. I am a poor scholar, and I am sour all over, and even tigers and leopards are not willing to eat them."

The woman in brocade burst into laughter and looked at Xiao Jiading again.

After Leng Chi discovered that Xiao Family Ding was just as good as martial arts, he felt relieved and did not intend to keep him. He stood up and said, "Why, Brother Xiao will not be too late to eat something before leaving?"

Leng Jian pulled Xiao Jiading's clothes and said, "Don't go. The mountains and forests are dark, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards. We have fire here. My father and sister are both very skilled in martial arts. You can follow us and there will be no danger!"

Leng Mei came over and pulled Leng Jian aside, slapped him a few times on the butt: "It's so troublesome!"

Leng Jian pouted and wanted to cry, but he didn't dare.

Xiao Jiading raised his thick eyebrows and was about to stop him, but he didn't make a sound, because he heard the sound of tearing open the bushes around him and came toward this side. Then Leng Chi also heard it, and his face changed slightly, and he whispered: "Be careful, someone is coming here!"

Both wade hands and Leng Mei pulled out their weapons, leaned against the bonfire, staring at the dark jungle. The two men and women in brocade were hugging each other in fear and trembling.

Finally, dozens of figures appeared from the woods and surrounded them from all directions. The five leaders, holding various weapons, stared at them fiercely. The first old man looked at Leng Chi sinisterly and said, "Lock Band Master, don't be safe!"

Leng Chi quickly bowed and said, "It turns out that he is the master of Shazhai, and all the brothers from Nangang Village. I'm lucky to meet you. I wonder what the master of Shazhai has to give?"

The Shazhai Master pointed at the pair of men and women in brocade clothes with one knife in his hand: "Someone paid a lot of money and asked me to keep them. The cold archer will give them to me for the sake of his brothers. - Don't worry, I will pay you twice the loss of your archer silver and give you a thank-you gift. How about it?"

The two men and women in brocade clothes were frightened, hugged each other tightly, and looked at Leng Chi sadly: "No! No!"

Leng Chi squinted his eyes and looked at him: "Master Shazhai, our bodyguards have rules, especially passenger deer. If anyone is willing to pay a high price, we will send the guests out. Then what kind of face does our Golden Gun Escort Agency have to mess with this?"

A fat man on the side said to the Shazhai leader: "How is it? Brother, I said, they won't hand over people easily. Let's do it."

Leng Chi's eyes slowly shifted to the fat man: "Kui Er, our Golden Spear Escort Agency has never lacked the etiquette that we have given to your village. If you say this, you will not be friends enough."

His fat man named Kui Er sneer: "Your little money is not enough for me to get stuck in my teeth! Stop talking nonsense, Leng Eunuch, if you still want to do your escort business, hurry up and walk with your tail between your tail. If you don't want to live anymore, don't care about your daughter's chastity and the life of your trash son, then you go. Then don't blame me for not reminding you that we Laowu is very interested in women, and he likes to torture women when doing that. No woman can survive intact by him. Hehe!"

After saying that, a strong man's lewd smile came from the other side. Leng Meiqing couldn't help but turn around and glanced, and suddenly she had goose bumps on her body. She saw the man's face was pockmarked, bumpy, and a mouthful of yellow teeth flowing without any concealment. The little mung bean eyes kept sweeping around Leng Mei and the woman in brocade clothes. Leng Mei made a chill and spat fiercely.
