"Okay! Let's wait by the roadside!"
Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin were furious and immediately asked their servants to cut some long branches from the roadside.
He went and fetched some stones and placed them in the middle of the road.
Just as I finished doing all this, a dozen people came over escorting two carriages.
When the carriage approached, Wei Zhan led a few people to rush forward and stabbed the mounted guards down with long sticks.
While they were stunned by the fall, Yingbao and several other kids, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu, rushed over, pinned them down, and tied them up one by one.
Those who are quick to react will inevitably have a fierce fight and be knocked unconscious in the end.
Xiao Chengjun was also knocked to the ground and tied up tightly by Wei Zhan's servants.
Then it was time to change horses.
Chen Tiantian and Han were so frightened that they screamed and didn't even dare to get out of the car while holding the child.
Xiao Chengjun was tied up like a dumpling, but he still insisted and yelled at Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin: "Wei Zhan! Wen Hengyin! Do you want to die?"
Wei Zhan sneered, pointed at the dead horse and said, "You are the one who wants to die! If you are not unkind, how can we be unjust?"
As he spoke, he led the horse over and harnessed it to his carriage.
Yingbao tied the remaining three horses to the back of her carriage, preparing to take them away.
Afterwards, he looked at Xiao Chengjun and the others sinisterly, wondering whether he should kill them all.
But thinking about my family’s safety, I decided to give up.
If Xiao Chengjun died, those who had run away earlier would definitely think of him and his group.
Since we can't wipe them out completely, we can't act rashly.
My family is in the open, but the Xiao family is in the dark. If Xiao Mo avenges his brother, my family will not be able to withstand it.
"Take their weapons too." Mr. Wu poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Search the carriage again and take away all the sharp weapons."
Jiang Sanlang nodded and picked up weapons with his nephew. The guards also took off their swords and daggers.
Chen Tiantian and Han's wet nurse were also pulled out, and everyone pressed them to the ground and tied their hands and feet behind their backs.
The little boy did not cry. He looked at everyone eagerly, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he ran quickly towards Mr. Wu's carriage.
Yingbao found two daggers and a pair of scissors in the carriage.
Then he took out Chen Tiantian's bag from the carriage, picked out a thick cloth skirt, cut it into strips and threw it to everyone, and asked people to blindfold Xiao Chengjun and the others, and then kick them into the ditch on the side of the road.
There was water in the ditch, but it was frozen, and the men tumbled down onto the ice.
Wei Zhan even wanted to maliciously break the wheels of Xiao Chengjun's two carriages, but was stopped by Ying Bao.
These two carriages were very sturdy and spacious inside, and were fully equipped with bedding and other items. They were much better than one's own carriage.
Ying Bao asked Wei Zhan and his elder brother to go first, while she and her father followed behind.
Jiang Cheng, Wei Zhan and others were confused, but Jiang Sanlang knew what his daughter wanted to do.
I guess my daughter couldn't bear to part with the injured horses and wanted to secretly take them into the cave.
At Yingbao's repeated requests, the carriages drove away.
Yingbao took a look at the dozen people rolling and twisting in the ditch, and made sure that they could not see anything. Then she collected the injured horses and the two carriages, and then took in the three horses tied to the back of her own carriage.
She approached Chen Tiantian with the dagger in her hand, wondering whether she should send her to hell.
When the dagger was against Chen Tiantian's neck, Yingbao's head suddenly felt as if it had exploded.
What's going on
Yingbao suddenly stood up and took a few steps back.
Jiang Sanlang came over, took the dagger from his daughter's hand, and whispered, "Let Dad do it."
Yingbao grabbed her father and shook her head at him. "Let's go!"
She suddenly felt extremely panicked and pulled her father back.
I can’t kill Chen Tiantian, at least not now.
This woman is the heroine of the storybook, so she must have something to say.
Wait until you figure out what the story is all about.
After climbing onto the carriage, father Jiang Sanlang also sat on the shaft, whipped the horse, and drove away at full speed.
The Jiang family's big horse was very agile and quickly caught up with Wei Zhan and the others.
The convoy sped all the way and entered a county town in the evening.
The soldiers guarding the city gate checked the passes of the people before letting them pass.
The convoy stopped at the door of a large inn and decided to stay there for the night.
When the innkeeper saw that a big customer had come, he hurried out to greet the guests and opened the back door to let the carriage drive into the yard.
Yingbao and her brother got off the carriage and suddenly saw a little head popping out of Mr. Wu's carriage, "Dad! We're home!"
Mr. Wu coughed awkwardly and said to the people who looked over: "This child insists on relying on me..."
The little boy hugged Mr. Wu's neck and looked at everyone warily: "Don't tie up my dad!"
Jiang Sanlang and the others were slapped in the face, but they ignored the matter and went to register for their household registration and travel permits.
Mr. Wu picked up the child and led him into the house.
The little boy was extremely dependent on him, calling him "daddy" all the time and hardly ever left his side.
Yingbao still had her own room. After closing the door, she hurried into the cave to rescue the horses.
Eight horses were injured, four of which died.
The remaining four horses barely survived thanks to her strenuous treatment.
But they still need to be well cared for in order to heal their huge wounds.
Yingbao brought some ice cubes and piled them around the dead horses to prevent them from rotting. She also cut some bean stalks to feed the horses and put a basin of wheat for the injured horses to eat.
The three horses obtained from Xiao Chengjun were all war horses. They were taller than ordinary horses and very spirited. They were not afraid when they saw Yingbao and stretched their heads over to lick the wheat grains.
It's just that they pee and poop everywhere, which is really annoying. Yingbao wants to throw them out of the cave.
After staying in the county town for one day and two nights, Jiang Sanlang hired a team of bodyguards to escort him back home.
Wei Zhan and his men were able to subdue Xiao Chengjun because they caught him by surprise.
If we really fight with Xiao Chengjun's guards, it's hard to say who will win or lose.
Jiang Sanlang has several children of his own, and he dares not gamble with others with his children's lives, so he would rather spend money to buy safety.
There were fifteen people in the escort team, and they were very happy to take on the escort job.
Escorting people is easier than escorting property. At least the robbers won’t be tempted to do anything.
It took the group of people more than ten days to return to Chuanhe Town.
Before we entered the village, Old Man Jiang came to greet us: "You're finally back! Why are you so late? Did anything happen on the way?"
Jiang Sanlang shook his head. "Nothing, Dad, have any outsiders come here recently?"
"Yes, there were several reports. One said Yuanbao passed the exam and became a scholar, and the other said Xiaojie passed the exam and became a juren." Old man Jiang stretched his head to look at the car: "Where is Xiaojie?"
Jiang Jie poked his head out and said, "Grandpa, I'm here."
"Oh! My eldest grandson, come down quickly and stretch your legs." Old man Jiang hugged his little grandson and took him down from the carriage.
Then the old man held his grandson's hand and walked home smiling all the way, greeting countless people along the way.
The clan leader and several village elders came to Jiang's house. They touched Jiang Jie's head, patted his shoulders and praised him.
Yuanbao, who had just been promoted to a student on government stipend, was ruthlessly ignored.
After returning home, Jiang Sanlang did not rest but rushed to the post station in Chuanhe Town without stopping and told the postmaster about what happened to the Xiao family on the road.
The newly appointed postmaster was very cautious about the matter and immediately notified the surrounding post stations and post houses that whenever they encountered a large number of knights, their identities and household registrations must be checked.
Jiang Sanlang then went home satisfied and told his daughter about it.
In fact, every time they came across a post station or a posthouse along the way, Jiang Sanlang would tell the postmaster the physical characteristics of Xiao Chengjun and others.
If those postmasters wanted to make a contribution, they would definitely send people to capture Xiao Chengjun and others. Even if they couldn't catch them, they would closely monitor the people passing by.
