The carriage was tilted to one side, the horses were gone, and blood was dripping out of the carriage.
Yan Gui jumped off his horse, took a few quick steps, lifted the curtain, and looked at two cars in a row before he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so concerned that he was confused. This carriage was not from the general's mansion. There were no guards beside the carriage, let alone maids or old women. There was only a coachman sitting at each door of the carriage.
This was an ordinary family who came out of Xiongzhou City and wanted to go to Yancheng while the city was in chaos. There were five people in the family and two carriages, but they didn't expect to encounter some bad guys on the way.
pity!
Yan Gui sighed softly. If they had stayed in Xiongzhou City, they would have been safe. They never expected that they would be killed along the way.
Yan Gui jumped on his horse and said to Yan Yun who was coming behind him, "Leave a few brothers to check along the road to see who is so bold as to take advantage of the situation and rob people at this time."
"Yes." Yan Yun asked a few of his men to stay, then mounted his horse and followed Yan Gui away.
At this moment, Weiyang's carriage was parked on the side of the road to rest.
Nanny Sun warmed up the soup and asked Youlan to take it to the old general's wife first, and the meal would be ready soon.
This time when Yan Gui attacked Xiongzhou City, in addition to the soldiers who protected the city, only 500 guards were left in the General's Mansion. The old general left 200 in the General's Mansion and brought 300 guards out.
At this moment, three hundred guards were scattered around, taking turns on guard.
Xiongzhou City has been in the hands of the enemy for so long, there is no guarantee that there will be illegal bandits taking advantage of the chaos to rob along the way.
Everyone took turns eating, and suddenly the guard on duty blew a loud whistle to alert everyone that something was wrong. The guard on alert immediately drew his sword. Those who were eating immediately put down their bowls and drew their swords.
From afar, a cloud of smoke gradually rose from the distant horizon, indicating that a large number of horses were approaching.
"Dad." Wei Yang looked at the old general who was eating with a bowl opposite him.
The old general slowly put the last mouthful of rice in the bowl into his mouth. He glanced at Wei Yang who was a little nervous and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Wei Yang nodded slightly.
She was still a little scared, and she was more worried about what would happen if something happened to the old general. But now that she saw the old general's calmness, she was not so scared anymore. She ate the rice in the bowl calmly.
The old general is not afraid. She is the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, so she should not be afraid either.
Several maids and old women were hurriedly packing their things. Wei Yang stole a glance and saw that some of them even had daggers and knives on their waists!
"Madam, give me a horse." Konggu suddenly walked to Weiyang and said softly.
Wei Yang put down her bowl and chopsticks, and looked up at Kong Gu in confusion: "What do you want a horse for?"
Konggu said solemnly: "If anything unexpected happens, I will take you on horseback and flee."
"no."
Konggu thought Weiyang was afraid that she was not good at riding and could not lead her, so he said quickly: "Madam, I can do it. Believe me, I really can do it."
Wei Yang said sternly: "No, if you protect me, what about the old general? Are we going to abandon the old general and run away?"
Steward Ding reached out and flicked the steel knife in his hand: "Madam, the old general has me, don't worry."
"Do you think I'm old? Give me a horse and a knife, and I can still kill the enemy." The old general stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
"No." Wei Yang turned to look at Steward Ding and ordered, "Steward Ding, please get in the car with the old general and take good care of him."
"Su girl." The old general frowned: "Don't worry, maybe she is a friend instead of an enemy."
