I was Idle and Cool Chapter 122: Mountain Bandits

On the official road.

The sound of the hooves mixed with the sound of the wheel turning, and the noise moved forward.

Lu Jinxi was still sitting in the car reading a book, but her eyes had already landed on the first page and she had been stunned for a long time.

These are not the books that came with me.

Lu Jinxi had already read all the ones she came here, so the ones she brought on the return trip were bought and taken away by Qingque from Baoding before departure, just because she was afraid she would be bored on the road.

But apparently, she's not on the books right now.

After traveling for more than an hour or two, He Xing, who was riding at the forefront, slowed down, identified the direction and the road, and then rode his horse closer to Lu Jinxi's carriage, saying from the window: " Madam, we will be at the inn in a little more than a minute, and we will rest there for the night. My subordinates see that the weather is not bad, and it will not rain, so if we hurry, we will be able to return to the capital in the morning the day after tomorrow. It’s just that , would you like to stop by Dianchan Temple?"

Lu Jinxi blinked, frowned slightly, and replied lightly: "If you don't go, it will take too much time. Look at us, we will take the fastest route, if we go by the way, let Yin Ping make an outpost and go first. Just run and get some beads and amulets and bring them to me."

This is just to save face, in fact, I never thought of going to a Zen temple at all.

He Xing felt ashamed.

But Lu Jinxi's words are clear, what's more, he just asks subconsciously, and doesn't mean to give her any advice, so he follows the flow of kindness: "Then I will arrange a time for Yin Ping to go first."

"Yeah." Lu Jinxi replied, remembering what happened in Baoding before, and asked, "By the way, let Yin Ping continue to look at Nansheng Longchang before, did you find anything?"

"No." He Xing shook his head, "Yin Ping will follow him later, the scribe and those mysterious people have never contacted Sheng Hong and the others, let alone no trace of them. All I know is that Nan Sheng Longchang is a This place must be secured."

No trace...

Lu Jinxi's brows furrowed a little tighter, probably because of the hangover last night. Now that her temples are still a little tight and painful, she raised her hand and pressed it. She didn't speak for a while.

He Xing outside was also silent, as if waiting for her to speak.

But didn't wait.

So after a long while, he finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Madam is worried about this matter, and she is uneasy, or should I ask Yin Ping to go to the city to explore?"

"No need."

It was just a casual question. Lu Jinxi subconsciously felt that it was not easy to investigate this matter, and there would be no results.

"Even if you're worried, let's talk about it when you get back to the capital. I'll have to do it for you along the way."

"This is what my subordinates should do."

He Xing turned serious when he said this.

Although Lu Jinxi couldn't see it, he still had a serious look on his face.

After reporting the itinerary, he turned his horse's head and left.

Before dark, the group arrived at the last inn where they had stayed, and stayed there for the night. The next morning, we set off again.

On the third day, they were only 80 miles away from the capital.

It is still from the inn.

Everyone had enough water and dry food they needed, packed everything, saddled, fed the horses, and walked on the road they had traveled.

"Eighty miles is not very far, just to cross a mountain, the road is not easy to walk, as it was when I came here. So the sixth subordinate left enough time to ensure that he can find a place to rest tonight. It will be a bit slower, but if there is no accident, you will be able to reach the post station outside the capital by noon tomorrow."

He Xing held the reins tightly, keeping the horse at about the same speed as the carriage, and said to the inside.

This section of the road, Lu Jinxi has an impression, is more rugged, but not too steep.

She lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and she saw a green mountain in the distance. The brilliance of the rising sun fell from the gap between the clouds, which was light and beautiful.

"Such a beautiful view, it's okay to walk slowly."

It was probably because I was about to arrive in the capital, and the worries caused by the people and things I had inadvertently encountered during the trip to Baoding seemed to be dispelled.

In the procession of horses and horses, the crisp sound of bamboo flutes was heard.

Lu Jinxi listened, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Yin Ping who was riding at the front.

A young man who is not yet weak, his figure is still a little immature, but his shoulders have broad outlines. He sits on the back of a horse and plays the bamboo flute in his hand.

The color is very blue.

Obviously it should be made of thin bamboo tubes that were cut down on the road, and the sound is not perfect.

But I don't know if the bamboo flute itself has a charm close to nature, or Yin Ping's skill in playing it. Lu Jinxi could hear the chirping birds from the flute.

It was a feeling of excitement.

So she couldn't help but smile: "He blows really well."

He Xing also heard.

He looked back and saw that Lu Jinxi was smiling, so he laughed too.

But after a while, he immediately chased after his horse, threw his whip lightly at Yin Ping, and scolded him with a smile: "It's enough to show off for a while, how long do you have to do it? You are not afraid of attracting jackals and bandits in the barren mountains and mountains!"

"Hi!"

Yin Ping took a breath and shrank in an exaggerated look. He obediently removed the bamboo flute from his lips, but complained half-truths and half-truths on his lips.

"Really, a gentleman doesn't use his hands, so he just plays the flute? We've walked this road quite a few times, and we haven't encountered any jackals, let alone bandits. Why do you need to worry so much?"

He Xing heard itchy hands, and wanted to whip him again: "Listen, what did you say? The eldest son let go of the harsh words, what happened, you dare to raise your head to see him? Hurry up. Put it away!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yin Pingsheng was afraid that He Xing would smoke again, so he quickly put away the bamboo flute, but the smile on his face was confiscated, and he only patted his chest.

"But to be honest, Brother He, don't say that it's only less than 80 miles away from the capital, even if it's a little further away, how many thieves and thieves are crazy and dare to come and rob us? Yes, tired of living and courting death—"

"Whoosh!"

Before he finished speaking, a cold arrow was suddenly shot from the high mountain forest in front of him!

Smooth Yin Ping's cheek!

—Fast as lightning!

“Boom!”

Before Yin Ping and He Xing could even react, this arrow passed the distance of the horses in front of them in an instant, and nailed it deeply into the edge of the carriage!

The terrifying sound made Qingque, who was pouring tea for Lu Jinxi inside, screamed!

The sudden change made everyone vigilant, pulling the reins one after another, and suddenly there was a high-pitched horse neighing!

The carriage has stopped!

He Xing restrained his horse tightly, looking back and seeing the arrow on the carriage, he broke out in a cold sweat!

"Who?!"

His brows stood on end, and he was furious. While shouting and asking, he made a gesture to everyone behind him.

The well-trained people immediately retreated, moved forward, and surrounded Lu Jinxi's carriage in the middle. All weapons carried on the waist or carried on the back are immediately unsheathed!

The entire mountain road is full of chills!

"Hahahaha..."

The smirk like a night owl spread from the mountains and forests, and then a few strong men with knives came out. It's just a ferocious reveal.

The crowd suddenly felt like an enemy.

He Xing saw that the hearts of these people were sinking, and he calmly swept the other parts of the mountain forest, only to feel that there were still many people in ambush in the dark.

He clenched the long sword in his hand and asked again in a deep voice, "Who is coming!"

"Grandma is a bear, the old men robbed, can't you see?!"

The man standing at the front of the mountain forest laughed loudly and scolded badly. At the same time, he didn't look at the following people at all, and spoke directly and arrogantly.

"The silver and the woman stay, spare you from dying!"

He Xing's face was instantly ugly.

Yin Ping also secretly said "Bah", thinking that it was his crow's mouth, but he was not afraid in his heart, he just grabbed the restless horse and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

"There are still people in the woods, eleven or two."

"If I count to three, if we don't hand over the money and the woman, we will do it directly."

The man who spoke earlier seemed to appreciate their nervousness. He laughed and gave the ultimatum. At the same time, he pointed his sword at the carriage!

"One!"

Everyone held their breaths, glanced at each other, and surrounded the carriage.

"Two!"

No one moved, He Xing had already called Yin Ping with a wink.

Yin Ping knew what he meant and nodded.

"Three!"

One last count.

The man looked at the people below who didn't make any movement at all. The previous laugh suddenly turned into a smirk, and he also turned into anger with a kind of humiliation after not being obeyed!

"Okay, don't eat and drink fine for toasting! Brothers, give me a hand! Kill—"

"Kill!"

As soon as the word "kill" came out, the surrounding mountains and forests shouted loudly, and a dozen horses rushed out from the forest, all of them were men dressed in rough, merciless wielding knives!

There are more feather arrows falling from the heights!

Lu Jinxi in the carriage, Duan Duan didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and was a little stunned.

She's nothing.

Although I was nervous, I knew that although He Xing and the others were not many, they were very capable. It should be no problem to solve this group of mountain bandits who blocked the road and robbed them, so they could calm down.

But Qing Que's face was already pale and trembling uncontrollably.

Fearing that she would do something under her fear that would affect He Xing, Lu Jinxi quickly took her hand and gave her a booing gesture to signal her to calm down.

At the same time, he also pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside.

She was afraid to go out.

The first is that I feel that I can't help myself by going out, and the second is that I am afraid that going out will make things worse.

After all, if she is accidentally controlled by the bandits, the result of this fight will be seen almost immediately.

My heart beats fast.

Breathing is also rapid.

Lu Jinxi felt that she was trembling and her face was much paler, but the hands she held Qingque were extremely calm, and she couldn't notice the slightest abnormality.

"Tinkle!"

"Bang!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

The battle surrounding this horse-drawn carriage was very intense at the beginning, and it was almost bloody! Humans and horses, knives and swords are all mixed up in the blink of an eye, and they can't tell them apart!

The more you fight, the more frightened you become!

He Xing only felt that cold sweat broke out on his head!

At first, he judged that this was just a group of powerful mountain bandits, but after fighting, he realized that the fierceness of the other party was completely beyond their imagination!

No!

Something's wrong!

Absolutely wrong!

They are the guards of the Taishi Mansion. They don't usually eat for free. They have received a lot of training. In Beijing, almost only the people from the 3rd Battalion of the Infantry Army, Dragon Tiger Falcon, can compare with them.

They've done a lot of things over the years.

Although there are only a dozen people, it is not a problem to fight the general scattered bandits and bandits.

But now...

There are more than a dozen of them, and the other party is only a dozen people!

But before the two sides fought, he felt the strength of each other: not only was this group of bandits extremely strong and fierce, but also because of their methodical and step-by-step progress!

Although there are not many flying arrows in the mountains and forests, every time they come out, they can force them to retreat a point, or avoid a point. It is difficult for a person to avoid, let alone riding a horse!

In the blink of an eye, many horses were shot with arrows!

The horses neighed like crazy, or raised their hooves high, tossing the people off the horses, or fell to the ground weakly, bleeding all over the place...

It doesn't look like a mountain bandit, more like a devil!

"Yin Ping, Yin Ping!"

He Xing's eyelids jumped wildly, and he slashed a mountain bandit who was attacking him with a forceful sword back a few steps, and shouted hoarsely!

"The situation is not right, you **** the lady, go first!!!"

"When!"

A machete with a silver ring swooped in!

Yin Ping raised the knife to block, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow of the mountain bandit in front of him!

When he heard He Xing's voice, he clenched his teeth, knowing that things were different today.

Even if I don't want to abandon He Xing and others, I can think of Lu Jinxi who is still in the carriage, and the eldest son's instructions when we set off, and his eyes are finally red.

Turn the horse's head directly around and jump into the carriage!

"Madam, sit tight!"

Before it was too late to say anything more, Yin Ping had already abandoned his horse, directly pulled the reins, made the carriage turn to the back, and then swung the whip to the front of the horse's ass!

"Go!"

Fighting everyone behind the carriage, they tacitly stepped up their counterattacks, and only forcibly opened a gap from the tight siege at the moment when the carriage rushed!

"Bang!"

The pained horse behind him galloped and broke out of the gap directly!

It was too late to see what happened to the brothers who had drank and ate meat together in the past, Yin Ping shouted loudly, beat the horse pulling the cart, and galloped forward!

Not in the direction of the capital, but in their direction!

It didn't take long for them to set off from the inn where they settled down. The place where the accident happened was still twenty or thirty miles away from the next inn, or where there were people, but it only took half an hour to turn back!

Yin Ping drives like crazy!

In his heart, he just wanted to hurry to the inn. The bandits didn't dare to chase after him, and he could ask for help when he got there.

Unexpectedly, before running two miles forward, two horses appeared on the mountain road ahead, and a strong man with a knife sat on each horse!

That gesture, that dress...

It is clearly the accomplice of those bandits just now!

Yin Ping's heart suddenly cooled down. Although he was sweating profusely, it was as if he was in a world of ice and snow, and his whole head was blank.

I don't know what to do and what will happen next.

Until the sound of a broken drink came from the carriage behind him-

"Leave us alone, jump down and report back to Beijing!"

It's Lu Jinxi's voice.

I don't know when, she has come to the front of the car door, opened the curtain of the car, and saw the two fearful and desperate horses on the road ahead.

The divine light in his eyes is surprisingly calm and rational.

Yin Ping looked back at her, a young face full of shock and confusion, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

But Lu Jinxi only said one word to him: "Go!"

Order, unquestionably.

That look is full of majesty, even coercion!

At this moment, Yin Ping didn't know what he was thinking, so he subconsciously obeyed her order and jumped towards the mountains and forests beside the road!

"Bang!"

Almost as soon as he jumped out, the out-of-control carriage ran over the rough mountain road at a rapid rate, and a protruding stone stumbled on the yoke!

A terrifying shock strikes!

And then there's the terrifying feeling of being in the air!

Lu Jinxi only felt that she couldn't control her body at all, she slammed into the side compartment wall, her head hit the hard wooden partition with a thud.
