Shen Ziqiao was woken up by the screams outside.
Hongying was sleeping at her feet, and after waking up, she hurriedly opened the car window and looked out, only to see the torches lit up at some point on the hilltop like splashed ink, and a golden man wearing animal skin and holding a scimitar rode them on a steed. surrounded.
The bodyguards brought by He Chen took out their weapons and watched these golden men vigilantly and nervously.
Everyone looked calm, but they were actually very nervous.
The golden men were bloodthirsty and brutal, even the members of the bodyguard bureau who were begging for a living on the knife's edge did not dare to charge them head-on, they did not expect to be surrounded by the golden men tonight.
Ninth Prince and Sheng Peiyin stood in the center of the crowd, looking fearless.
Shen Ziqiao rolled her eyes, these two idiots don't get in the way if they don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, and they can't kill the enemy, and they want others to waste force to protect them.
The golden man who took the lead was talking to He Chen, Shen Ziqiao couldn't hear it very clearly, the general idea was to ask He Chen to call out all the white rice, otherwise they would kill all of them.
How did the Jin people know that they were transporting rice
Even Sheng Peiyin and the Ninth Prince were hiding it, how could the Jinren know
They announced to the public that the He family was going to the northwest to do business, while Pan Lize and Shen Ziqiao wanted to visit Shen Zikai, and they happened to be on the same road. It was He Chen who was arranging the itinerary along the way, and the escorts and the others also contacted him directly. In fact, He Chen and Pan Lize transported rice to the northwest.
Moreover, they still transported them in batches. In addition to their group, there were two other transport teams who took the water route. The water route was faster than them, and it was estimated that they had already been transported to the military camp.
So, someone leaked their whereabouts to Jin Ren
Amidst Shen Ziqiao's doubts, He Chen and the Jinren had apparently reached an agreement to give them the rice and not to hurt any of them.
The Ninth Prince heard that He Chen had agreed to Jin Ren's request. He said angrily, "How can I give these gold thieves my big Zhou's rice grain, even if I die, I can't compromise."
Could this idiot not be able to tell that He Chen was delaying time? Shen Ziqiao really wanted to scold the Ninth Prince.
He Chen said with a sullen face, "If you keep the green hills alive, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Master Jiu, saving your life is the most important thing."
"This king is definitely not someone who covets life and beats death." Ninth Prince said loudly.
The leader of the golden man sneered, "It turns out there is still the prince of Da Zhou, sons, come to me, and take away the rice and women of Da Zhou."
Shen Ziqiao once again tortured the Ninth Prince ten thousand times in her heart.
"Miss San, what should I do?" Hongying looked at Shen Ziqiao nervously, thinking to herself that she would desperately protect Miss San no matter what.
"If there is really no other way... Let's take advantage of the chaos and escape on horseback." Shen Ziqiao had never encountered such a situation, and she didn't know what to do. Apart from finding a way to escape, she didn't know what else to do.
Only those who are flooded with water will think about going head-to-head with the Jinren.
He Chen said loudly, "You just want white rice. If we fight, we may not lose to you. Going to Baili is Gaonan City. General Shen will come to pick us up soon. Do you want to fight with us?" Our Great Zhou general fights? What are your chances of winning?"
The leader of the golden man hesitated, and waved his hand to make the golden man behind him stop. Yes, they came for rice. If it is not necessary, they certainly do not want to attract the officers and soldiers of Da Zhou.
"Send over the carriage with the rice," said the leader of the golden man.
The Ninth Prince didn't wait for He Chen to speak, and shouted again. "You bastards invaded our land of Da Zhou, slaughtered our people, and now you still want to rob me of our rice, don't even think about it. Brothers, as the people of Da Zhou, we will never give in."
Yield to your sister!
Shen Ziqiao really wanted to kill this brainless bastard with a mouthful of blood!
The leader of the golden man was once again provoked by the Ninth Prince, and his brains were bloodshot and he ordered his subordinates to break through the circle surrounded by bodyguards.
The scene quickly became chaotic.
Pan Lize quickly found Shen Ziqiao's carriage, and said anxiously, "Jiaojiao, before the Jinren don't find you, you run away quickly, straight ahead is Gaonan City, and your eldest brother is in the city."
"Third Uncle, let's go together." Shen Ziqiao shouted, how could she leave Third Uncle and run away by herself.
He Chen had already come over at some point, and he was still holding a long sword in his hand. Although he was a merchant, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he couldn't compare to Shen Zikai and the others' fighting skills in fighting the enemy bravely. Self-protection is still no problem.
He looked at Shen Ziqiao with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! We won't last long here."
Two golden men rushed towards them, and He Chen stepped forward to fight with them.
"Get out of the carriage, let's go out on horseback." Shen Ziqiao said to Hongying, the speed of the carriage was too slow, and it attracted people's attention.
Just as Shen Ziqiao and Hongying got out of the carriage, they saw the Ninth Prince stumbling over with Sheng Peiyin supported. Seeing these two idiots, Shen Ziqiao tried her best not to punch them.
Controlling the violence but failing to control her mouth, Shen Ziqiao looked at the embarrassed Ninth Prince sarcastically, "Hey, didn't the Ninth Prince want everyone to fight the enemy bravely? Why don't you go forward and fight the golden man to the death? This embarrassment The way he ran away didn't look like a bloody and brave Prince of Zhou at all."
"You..." Ninth Prince blushed with anger, "Ignorant women and children, what do you know!"
Over there, He Chen had already killed the two golden men and brought two horses over.
Shen Ziqiao poohed the Ninth Prince's face, "I understand your sister! If you have no brains, don't kill others. If you don't have eyesight, you don't know that He Chen is delaying the golden man, so shut your mouth. It doesn't matter if you cause yourself to die. Don't hurt others, if you talk about being a hero, others will fight with their lives, and I will remember how many people were killed or injured because of you tonight! If you don't die, pay back slowly!"
The distinguished Ninth Prince has always been pampered and spoiled from birth to now, and he is flattered and flattered wherever he goes. When has he ever been scolded in person like this
A handsome face turned purple, but he couldn't say a word.
He Chen came over and held Shen Ziqiao's hand, "Go quickly, the escorts won't be able to stop them for long."
The fighting became more and more intense, and many guards had already been killed by the Jinren.
"Peiyin, let's go!" Seeing the horse behind He Chen, the Ninth Prince helped Sheng Peiyin onto the horse, and was about to get on another horse.
She was torn off by He Chen with a cold face. "Master Jiu, you keep saying that you want to resist the gold thief, but why do you want to run away by yourself?"
The Ninth Prince was pulled by He Chen, and fell to the ground.
He Chen didn't even look at her, he got on the horse with Shen Ziqiao's waist, stared at her and said, "Go, don't look back!"
Shen Ziqiao shook her head, looked at the third uncle with moist eyes, "I'm leaving. What should you do?"
It's true that she is greedy for life and afraid of death, but she can't do it if she is asked to abandon her relatives for her own life. She couldn't leave third uncle, and she couldn't leave Hongying either.
"What time is it now, don't be willful, go!" He Chen shouted.
"Kill! There's a woman from Da Zhou!" Jin Ren had already killed him at some point, entering Shen Ziqiao and Sheng Peiyin. His eyes lighted up with excitement.
The Ninth Prince was so frightened that he hurriedly climbed up the mountain to Sheng Peiyin's horse, "Fight!"
What a shit prince! Shen Ziqiao stared at their backs with contempt.
"Jiaojiao, I will protect your uncle, you go!" He Chen anxiously shouted to Shen Ziqiao, he couldn't let her fall into the hands of the golden man, otherwise what would happen...he didn't even dare to think about it.
Shen Ziqiao glanced at him. Didn't expect him to protect her like this.
"Help me..." The Lord Nine and Sheng Peiyin, who had not escaped for a long time, ran back yelling, but the horse was gone, and the two were still wounded.
Several golden men chased after him.
Sheng Peiyin screamed. "There are golden people outside, and they can't escape at all."
Shen Ziqiao's expression changed.
The Ninth Prince was protecting Sheng Peiyin, and was slashed by a golden man in the back.
His guards rushed over to protect them.
He Chen carried Shen Ziqiao off the horse, and they got into the carriage together and decided to rush out.
The people in the Escort are no match for the Jinren at all. Gradually lost, more and more golden men surrounded them. The red-eyed golden man yelled frantically.
This was the second time that Shen Ziqiao felt that death was so close to her, she was very scared, even though she acted calmly, her heart was still very nervous and scared.
That time when Sheng Peiyin sent people to hunt her down, at least Qi Zheng was by her side, she felt very safe, but today... She looked at He Chen's back and thought of Qi Zheng in her heart.
"Jiaojiao..." Qi Zheng's voice seemed to ring in his ears.
Too bad, I have auditory hallucinations, if Qi Zheng can really step on the colorful auspicious clouds to save her, she will immediately rush forward and agree with her body.
"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao..."
"It's the soldiers of the Great Zhou!" He Chen yelled.
Shen Ziqiao froze for a moment, only felt that the fighting sounds around her were more intense, and it seemed that cheers could still be heard.
"It's Da Zhou's soldiers who came to rescue us." He Chen turned his head and said to Shen Ziqiao, with a joyful tone.
The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately."
Shen Ziqiao opened the curtain of the car, wanting to see who came to save them.
In the dark night, only flickering torches were dancing, she could only vaguely see a tall and straight figure beheading the golden man on horseback, and that figure was approaching them.
It's Qi Zheng—
Although she couldn't see his appearance, she was sure it must be him.
Shen Ziqiao's heart beat violently, her eyes became brighter, and her hands were tightly twisted together.
The Nine Princes and Sheng Peiyin also found Qi Zheng.
At this time, Qi Zheng was like a god descending from the sky, bringing them hope.
Sheng Peiyin stared blankly at Qi Zheng who was getting closer and closer, feeling her heart became hot and excited.
"Jiaojiao! Where are you?" Qi Zheng's face was gloomy, he held a halberd in his hand, and exuded a frightening cold aura all over his body.
"Qi...Qi Zheng!" Shen Ziqiao's voice was a little hoarse because of nervousness, "I, I am here."
He Chen raised his head to look at Shen Ziqiao, and found that her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.
He followed her gaze and looked over.
Then he saw a man in armor and war robe turn over from his horse and strode over. Before they could speak, he had already hugged Shen Ziqiao into his arms.
He Chen felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart, and he felt a numb pain.
