Chapter 107 Seizing the Horse
Chapter 107 Seizing the Horse
Zhou Yue'e drove the carriage steadily, seeming not to hear the conversation inside the carriage.
Bai Jingzhi is no longer shy about his cousin and has already treated her as one of his own.
"Dad, why are you so timid after coming here? Are you afraid of the laws here? Or are you not used to the environment here?"
Bai Zhao didn't answer, still frowning.
“Okay, Dad, to tell you the truth, I like those horses!
This is much stronger than those in the space. It’s a war horse!
With these horses, and raising them in the space for a few days, in the future, hey, Wujiyuan will not be a soft persimmon!"
Bai Jingzhi explained while his hands were not idle. He dipped the tip of the needle into the medicine.
The concentration of this anesthetic is extremely strong. Just a little bit of it can make a cow sleep for two days and two nights.
She was determined to get those horses, but as for the people on the horses, she didn't intend to kill them all.
"So you want those horses, not just to risk your life." After Bai Zhao knew his daughter's intention, he quickly adjusted his state and gave her advice.
"In that case, this anesthetic won't work. Mianmian, why don't you give the concentrated medicine you developed earlier to Jingzhi?"
Bai Jingzhi didn't know what his father meant, and looked at him puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Is there something more powerful than this potion?
Wei Hongmian looked at him deeply and said, "Old Bai, are you sure? You were the one who didn't even dare to kill a chicken before, but now you are arranging drugs that can easily take people's lives."
"What? Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier about this good stuff!" Bai Jingzhi became excited. "If I had known earlier that there was such a good thing, I would never let those people kidnap me again--"
"I won't let them do anything." Wei Hongmian tapped his daughter's forehead. "This concentrated liquid is very toxic. I extracted it accidentally. There is no antidote. You have to be careful even if you use it. If you get poisoned, your life will be in danger."
"Got it! I promise not to use it casually, don't worry." Bai Jingzhi urged, "Mom, go back to the lab and get it! And bring gloves with you."
Zhou Yue'e heard every word of the conversation in the carriage, but she could not understand some of the content.
If there were really hundreds of people chasing them, she might not be their match.
Zhou Yue'e gripped the reins and tightened them involuntarily.
Being outnumbered and having to fight three people alone, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
This was also the first time she doubted her own abilities after coming down the mountain.
She drove faster and drove through the woods into the mountains.
"Ouch," the carriage suddenly accelerated, and Bai Jingzhi's head hit the wall of the carriage. "Sister Yue'e, slow down, we still have to wait for those people to catch up! I have a way to deal with it, don't worry."
It was very stable just now, but suddenly accelerated. It must be that Zhou Yue'e heard something.
Bai Jingzhi's prediction was correct. Zhou Yue'e had sharp senses and she noticed when Wei Hongmian disappeared.
Although she didn't know how it was done, Zhou Yue'e didn't ask out of curiosity.
The other end.
Commander Han led his men to chase for almost a whole day and night. They were about to give up, but after hearing some conversations among the refugees, they continued to track down Bai Jingzhi and his men.
Bai Jingzhi's group was very conspicuous and their team was huge.
After the disaster in the south, there were many refugees who migrated with their families or even entire clans.
The journey from south to north is long and the weak may die on the way.
Some of those who were lucky enough to survive were also pale and thin, and looked listless.
Bai Jingzhi and his group of people are all out of the ordinary. They are all strong and healthy, and there are old people and children in the team.
With the way they are, it's hard not to attract attention.
There had been an incident caused by wild boar meat before, so they had hidden the pork at the bottom of the car. The surface of the cars were now filled with tattered quilts and the like.
There are finally fewer malicious glances.
However, their team was still the focus of the crowd, and people discussed them from time to time.
Commander Han happened to slow down his pace and heard this.
Commander Han signaled to the person who informed Huili Palace, "Go and ask where that group of people went."
Changbo was at the end of the team, and he could hear clearly what those people were discussing about Bai Jingzhi's team.
That night he stole someone's clothes without attracting any attention.
Some people who had doubts were fooled by him using the excuse that he was new.
He was nervous all the way and worried about the safety of the Prince of Yan.
Commander Han brought nearly half of the people in Prince Li's Palace, all of whom were elite soldiers. Wei Li's ten men were no match for them.
Changbo had been looking for opportunities on the road, but unfortunately, due to his low status, he could not get close to Commander Han.
Changbo was a little frightened when he heard these people discussing this team.
Fleeing from famine requires such a big fuss, isn't it a clear signal to others that they are here to rob?
Wealth should not be shown off. Now food cannot be shown off. When people are hungry to a certain extent, they will do anything.
Being so ostentatious, they will always be seen as fat sheep by others.
As far as he knew, some places in Prince Li's territory were also affected by famine. If those people targeted them, it would be very dangerous in Lianzhou.
Changbo had no feelings for Jiang Lan and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Although his son doesn't say it, he still misses Yuzhou in his heart and will go back there sooner or later.
After all, they are just passers-by in Yanzhou, and the Prince of Yan is the orthodox one.
After this incident, the young master will only speed up his return to Yuzhou.
Nothing can happen to the Prince of Yan.
The person who went to investigate came back, and said in an excited tone, "Commander, the carriage has entered the mountain."
Commander Han frowned, "Are there members of the Wei family in the carriage?"
"Yes, that day it was the Wei family's aunt who was sitting inside, along with her daughter, the young merchant girl you mentioned."
The man with shifty eyes had a flattering look on his face, and when he smiled he looked even more like a mouse.
Changbo turned his head away with disdain. It would be better if they chased the carriage. He wanted to go find Wei Li and the others.
Wei Li would definitely not let the Prince of Yan be in danger, so they must have mixed in with the group of refugees.
He just didn't understand how Wei Li and the others got together with the aunt of the Wei family. Could it be that they recognized each other?
When Commander Han heard the reply, he frowned and said, "Only one carriage is going into the mountains? If so, why not split up and you take ten people to chase after the Prince of Yan."
After a brief consideration, he made a decision that the Wei family was more valuable.
Changbo quickly joined the group of ten people but did not follow them into the mountain.
He glanced at Commander Han's team and felt something was wrong.
He was also a little surprised that the carriage went to the mountains alone.
......
Zhou Yue'e drove steadily and was not in a hurry to get on the road.
She had been paying attention to the situation in the carriage and clearly felt that her aunt had appeared again.
Zhou Yue'e suppressed her excitement and became more determined that her cousin's family were not ordinary people.
Her chance has come!
The master did not lie to me.
"Cousin, wear this on your hand and grab the horse for me later!"
