Chapter 23: General Lin
A burst of horseshoes gradually approached from behind. Yun Wan could clearly feel Master Han speeding up the car, and her heart rose to her throat again.
"Sister Yun Wan, we are rushing behind so fast. Could it be that the bandits who set up traps...are chasing us?" Yuchen asked worriedly about Master Han's flying horse.
"Don't worry, Yuchen, it won't happen." Yuchen's words made Yun Wan a little more worried, but as a sister, she could only remain calm.
"My dad was also afraid that someone was chasing us, otherwise we couldn't have gone so fast." Ruoli opened the car curtains and pointed outside. A beam of light shone in through the gap, and he saw flying dust following the light.
Fluctuating, choking Yun Wan kept coughing, "Cough cough~cough cough~cough cough cough~"
"Hurry up, put it down, don't you hear the master coughing? Why are you a slave?" Xue Qing quickly stopped Ruoli. This little girl is so naughty. She can feel the speed of the car based on the bumps in the car. She has to see it with her own eyes.
Do you believe it?
"Sister Xueqing, why are you so fierce? My dad is driving outside and doesn't mind choking!" Ruoli pouted and looked at Xueqing with an aggrieved face.
"Xue Qing, Master Han is really working hard, please be friendly to Ruoli." Seeing Xue Qing's fierce attitude toward Ruoli, Yuchen comforted her.
"Are you feeling distressed? Then why don't you be friendly to me?" Xue Qing's tone became even more fierce when she heard Youchen speaking to Ruoli.
"Xue Qing, stop talking." Yun Wan was slightly angry, but Xue Qing did not dare to say any more. After all, she is a slave who has followed Yun Wan for many years, and she knows Xue Qing's nature best. "How long has it been since this happened? You three are still here?"
If we are in the mood to quarrel, if the people chasing us are really a group of bandits, then we will face the risk of our lives."
No matter how fast Master Han drove, after all, it was a carriage carrying a carload of people. There was no way it could be faster than the fast horses of the pursuers. The group of them was still stopped and had to stop.
"Sir, why did you intercept this little fellow?" When she heard Master Han calling him "sir", Yun Wan thought she had met the bandit leader and was wondering how Master Han could recognize who was the leader.
"May I ask if your party is from Wuchuan?" the other party asked respectfully. After hearing Master Han's cheerful "yes", the other party's attitude softened obviously.
Ruoli was afraid that Master Han was in danger and wanted to go out to have a look, but was dragged back by Yuchen. There were only female relatives in the car except him. Even if he tried his best, he had to go out to find out, but Yun Wan did not agree, "You guys
You three, keep quiet, I'll go take a look."
After Yun Wan covered the three people with a thin quilt, she slowly got out of the car. She wanted to see with her own eyes the true face of the person Master Han called the adults, "Who is he?"
"Your Highness the Princess, I would like to pay my respects to you." This gentleman was dressed in silver armor and looked majestic. Behind him were a dozen people who bowed, all dressed as soldiers, each wearing cloth armor and wearing a sword.
"General, you're polite." Yun Wan recognized that the gentleman's helmet was a second-grade general, ranking below the general.
"Princess, I am entrusted by General Murong to escort the princess to the imperial capital." Looking at this general alone, he is not as strong as a military general at all. Instead, his fair skin exudes an aura of humility, just like a civil servant.
"General, may I ask your surname?" Knowing that it was Murong Jingyu who sent the escort, Yun Wan's previous worries disappeared.
"Thank you for your consideration, Princess. I am Ze Fenglin, General Murong's deputy general." Ze Fenglin responded humbly while carefully observing the person in front of him. His appearance was indeed as good as the one pictured in the letter, but his clothes were very simple, he thought to himself.
This young woman is really pitiful. Without Master Duanmu as her backer, she can live in such a miserable state.
"General Lin, how long will it take before we can leave Bingzhou?" Yun Wan was in a hurry. She didn't want to sleep in the mountains and forests tonight.
"In about two hours, I'll try to get to Xiangzhou to have a rest at night. I won't be able to reach the imperial capital at noon tomorrow." Ze Fenglin was very worried when he came all the way. Bandits have been rampant recently. In the past, they were just fighting in the countryside.
In recent months, the small businessmen and hawkers who come to the city to go to the market have expanded their ranks and set up roadblocks in the mountains and forests within a hundred miles. They have begun to attack the government's commercial traffic. Their whereabouts are hidden. There have been several cases of commercial traffic and banknotes being robbed.
The case has not been solved yet, so Murong Jingyu sent Ze Fenglin to greet him. But Ze Fenglin set off too late, otherwise he would have been able to protect him all the way from Yunwan to Wuchuan. "Princess, was the journey smooth? I'll pick it up.
The letter arrived late, I wanted to go to Wuchuan to pick you up."
"General Lin, you're welcome. We just encountered some danger and lost a carriage. It's not serious." Yun Wan said truthfully.
"I did see a disabled car on the side of the road, and I was worried about whether the princess would be injured? Fortunately, you were safe and well, otherwise I would have felt guilty." Ze Fenglin was afraid that Yun Wan and his party would encounter bandits, so he kept running nervously on the road.
.
"General Laolin is here, let's continue on our way." Yun Wan's anxious heart finally calmed down. The elite soldiers and generals sent by Murong Jingyu will definitely ensure safety on the road, and Yun Wan also believes in the blessing of good luck.
