But Daji didn't let anyone come forward, although the yamen servants were ready to move, but the guards held the line, so they didn't move.
In fact, they also thought that it was just a tree that fell down, and they just moved it away. Why should they be so careful
Daji was already frowning and looking at the woods on both sides, and was hesitating whether to send someone to investigate first, when Zhou Man had already opened the curtain and jumped out of the car.
Daji was taken aback, "My lady!"
Zhou Man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a look, I'm curious how the tree fell down."
She had already asked Koko, and there was no one around.
Zhou Man took Daji and a group of guards to look forward, and saw that the roots of the tree were still connected in one place, and the soil on the ground seemed to be blown down by the wind, but Zhou Man squatted down and took a closer look, and he still saw the felling The traces are just destroyed by others.
Daji also noticed it, and frowned, "Looking at this trace, it seems that it's not long ago. Since it's not an ambush, who would do it?"
Zhou Man clapped his hands and said, "No matter, move the tree away and let's go."
They moved the tree away, got on their horses and left, and half an hour later, they encountered a second fallen tree.
Daji and the guards became nervous again, Zhou Man: …
Zhou Man was furious, waved his hand and said, "Move away!"
Daji didn't listen, but asked people to check the situation in the mountains and forests on both sides first, and then asked people to remove the trees after confirming that there was really no danger.
Then continue as before, this time after walking for less than half an hour, Zhou Man opened his eyes, opened the curtain and took a look outside, then waved to Daji, "Daji, Daji, I guess there is another tree ahead, do you believe it?" Do not believe?"
Daji: "...what does the lady want to say?"
"Hmph, let's split into two groups and bring my horse here."
Daji frowned, "Where are you going? You can't risk yourself."
Daji will not refute Zhou Man's reasoning, because he is far inferior to them in terms of intelligence.
Although he doesn't understand who is so stupid, if you want to ambush, it's fine if you ambush once, but what's the matter if you ambush three times
The speed of the car gradually slowed down, Daji finally gave the horse to Zhou Man, and then ordered seven guards with the best kung fu, and said to them: "My lady wants to go into the mountains to collect medicine, we will follow."
Another guard was called, whispered to him a few times, then patted him on the shoulder and raised his voice: "You just go to Shouguang County, and find a suitable place to camp in the evening, and we will look for you."
Zhou Man called Zheng Gu, and the ten of them rode horses and turned into the mountain together. Except for Zheng Gu who had heard the whole process, no one doubted Zhou Man's purpose.
Because she just has this habit.
Sometimes when she was walking well, she would turn to the other side to dig grass. Not only the guards of the Bai family, but even the yamen servants in Beihai County were used to this kind of thing, so they didn't doubt it.
They just need to meet up ahead.
Zhou Man rode his horse and turned into the forest, proceeded according to Ke Ke's instructions, and said to Da Ji: "Actually, you are the best in the team. If you are not here, they may be suspicious."
Daji: "The lord has said, I have to follow you all the time, never leave an inch."
He said: "If you doubt it, you will doubt it. If there is an ambush, the result will be the same whether they attack or not."
The guards felt that something was wrong and asked one after another, "What ambush?"
Daji said: "Hold your swords and obey orders in a while."
After a pause, Daji still said: "Let's look at the enemy's situation first. If there are too many people, we will not make a sound. We will protect the lady first, and we will fight if we can beat them."
One of the guards glanced at Zhou Man with a serious face before saying: "Brother Daji, are you thinking too much, who will ambush us?"
"Be careful, there is no big mistake. Today we have encountered two trees blocking the way."
"Isn't that the wind that blows it down? If the first tree is the best place to ambush, right? Why do you use trees to block the road again and again?"
Daji also couldn't figure it out, so he said: "Maybe fools think too much."
This remark made Zheng Gu, who had never thought of it, feel better, but he still couldn't help asking: "...why aren't you a smart person?"
"Because their purpose is to ambush, usually we can't think of such a scheme, and we can't see it through, but as smart as a lady, we can see it through, so his scheme can't deal with smart people, isn't he an idiot?"
Normal people, like them, can't think of such a scheme; smart people, like Zhou Man, can see through it at a glance, which means that the other party doesn't rely on both, what is it if it's not a fool
Zheng Gu and the guards were dazed by Daji, they didn't notice anything wrong at the moment, they just nodded.
Only Zhou Man looked at Daji and couldn't help laughing out loud.
They went up the mountain, then went down for a while, tied their horses in the forest, and Zhou Man led them forward.
Not to mention the other guards, Daji couldn't tell the direction, but soon they vaguely heard the sound of carriages and horses kicking the road.
A guard looked down the mountain and saw their convoy approaching slowly. Before he could be happy, he glanced to the side and saw a tree lying across the road.
Guard: ...
Did the lady really guess it
The other guards were about to speak, Zhou Man hissed to signal them to be quiet, and then pointed down the hillside. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and it took a long time to vaguely see it among the clumps of weeds. … people.
It's a person, it seems to be a person's leg.
The guards swallowed, and turned their heads to look at Daji. Is there really someone lying in ambush
The guards were the first to suspect Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village, and lowered their voices: "Could it be the remnants of the bandits last year? But didn't the Lord Lord arrest everyone? Could it be their family members retaliated?"
Zhou Man glanced at them sympathetically, and whispered, "Let your minds go."
Daji also gave them a sidelong glance, "Don't guess randomly, see how many people there are, if you can beat them, you will arrest them, if you can't beat us, we will leave."
"Then what about the people below us?"
"Don't worry, the lady is not in the car, they have their own way of escape." Daji lowered his voice and said: "Liu Da, you are light-footed, go and see how many people are ambushing this section."
Zhou Man knew it, but it was hard to say it directly. He could only stare at the clump of grass for a long time, and when Liu Da came back, he reported, "I can't see it clearly, but there should be seven or eight of them, and I found one near the roadside. There were people behind the tree, but I didn't dare approach, not sure how many there were."
Zhou Man whispered: "I took a look. There are at least ten people in that clump of grass, and there are five more people below. If there is an ambush, there should be ambushes on both sides. If there are the same number, there will be thirty people."
Zheng Gu was surprised, "Master, you have such good eyes that you can see through so many trees and dense grass?"
"Of course," Zhou Man whispered, "You don't need to see people, you can infer it from the shapes of trees and bushes."
Although she didn't know how to deduce it, or even if she had this knowledge, it was always right to say that first, to fool people first.
The guards looked at Zhou Man with the same admiration as Zheng Gu.
