Suzhou is not far from Yangzhou, they are not in a hurry, and can arrive in Yangzhou by noon on the third day, so the group of people are not anxious. Update the fastest
The sky wasn't hot at this time. At night, a group of people lay on the flat mat and gazed up at the starry sky. The Milky Way in the sky seemed to be falling down.
Lin Qingyuan had only seen such a starry sky when she was very young, but later the city lights grew brighter and the air pollution worsened, making it difficult to see such scenery again.
Lin Qingwan's hands were clasped together on her abdomen, and she let out a deep sigh. Zhong Ruying, who was lying beside her, nudged her with her elbow, and when Lin looked over, she smiled and said, "Don't look at the starry sky like that, I always think you're about to float away."
Lin Qingwan raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly at her.
Zhong Ruying exaggeratedly patted her chest and said: "Finally back."
Lin Yuhuan turned her head and glanced at the two aunts, then continued to look up at the stars in the sky. She always felt as if her father was watching over her.
The three of them gazed at the stars for a bit too long, and as expected, they overslept the next day. However, none of them were in bad spirits. Zhong Ruying pulled Lin Yubin onto her horse and continued on with her attendants to go ahead and hunt in the forest.
Lin Qingwan occasionally heard Lin Yuhong's laughter in the car, she shook her head and leaned against the thick pillow to look at the scenery outside.
It was approaching noon when the convoy happened to pass by the post station and stopped for a meal.
Lin Yuhu's legs were trembling again, and Zhong Ruying shook her head repeatedly. "You're too weak, you're not young anymore, it's time to learn how to ride a horse. When I return to Hongzhou, I'll find a small colt for you, you can raise it yourself, and when it grows up, you can ride it."
Lin Qingwan ignored the two of them, poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Xie, and directly ordered food.
Zhong Ruying sat beside her, winking and making eyes at her: "Alright, alright, I won't take her out to play this afternoon, we'll ride the horse carriage together."
Lin Yuheng hugged Lin Qingwan's arm and said, "Auntie, I like riding horses."
"If you like it, learn from it. I didn't stop you." Lin Qingyan said: "It's just that we should also act according to our abilities, and the four words 'excess is not enough' don't need me to teach you, do they?"
Lin Yuhu stuck out his tongue and stole a glance at Zhong Ruying before nodding.
Zhong Ruying smiled and said, "No need to teach her, teach me instead, I don't know these four characters."
Lin Qingwan gave her a cold glance, and Mrs. Xie shook her head slightly as she watched from the side. The past two days had been a complete reversal of their previous reserve, with each passing day revealing more and more of their true nature.
After eating their fill, they felt like sleeping, but naturally they couldn't take a noon nap like at home, so they just rested for a bit before setting off again.
It was around 4 pm when everyone and the horses were most tired. Even Zhong Ruying, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little drowsy.
Yi Han was the first to sense something amiss, and he raised his hand to halt the procession. His eyes scanned the trees on either side, inch by inch, while the guards straightened their backs and became alert.
Just as the horse carriage came to a stop, Ying Bian suddenly opened his eyes with a "whoosh" and placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
Lin Qingwan also opened her eyes, she woke up not because the carriage stopped, nor was it because of the unusual outside, but because her heart was beating fast and aching.
She held Lin Yubin tightly in her arms and frowned at Zhong Ruying.
Zhong Ruying shook her head at her and sat quietly in the car without moving.
Yi Han felt the silence in the forest outside the car, his face solemn and concentrated. After a while, he put down his hand and gave Jiang Nan a signal with his eyes. The Lin family's guards slowly changed their formation and began to guard the carriages where Lin Qingyuan and Xie were located.
Zhong Jia's relatives and followers saw this, exchanged a glance, and then also changed their positions.
The Lin family is still the Lin family, even if they no longer lead the army, their foundation remains, and it's also because they can't think of a better defensive formation than this.
The convoy moved forward slowly again, and the people who had been quietly lurking in the forest cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, this can be discovered."
"What should we do? Should we withdraw or..."
"What are you withdrawing? We have so many people, are we still afraid of them?" The leader, with eyes full of hatred, stared at the horse carriage below and gritted his teeth: "Don't worry about others for now, first kill those two Lin family girls."
"Yes!"
Lin Yuhbin woke up and saw that both aunts had gloomy faces, so she couldn't help but yawn and ask, "What's wrong with you two?"
With these words, arrows flew out of the forest in unison. Zhong Ruying didn't think twice and picked up an arrow, flying onto the top of the horse carriage.
The Lin family guards and the Zhong family attendants didn't even let the arrow touch her body before knocking it down. Before Zhong Ruying could make a sound, Yi Han had already shouted loudly, and the four guards from the Lin family who were in charge of archery immediately drew their bows and shot arrows in the direction the original arrow came from.
Cries of surprise kept coming from the woods. Zhong Ruying gave Yi Han a deep look and led the clock family's entourage to welcome the bandits rushing down the mountain slope.
Although he knew that most of these people were prepared and lying in wait for them, Yi Han still shouted in a loud voice, "This is the carriage of the Suzhou Lin family's main branch, who dares to be presumptuous?"
"One of the bandits retorted, 'Kill those two stinky bitches!'"
Yi Han's eyes narrowed, he drew his sword and flew out to meet the sound, leaving behind an order, "Jiang Nan, protect the carriage!"
"Yes!" Jiang Nan leaped onto the roof of the carriage, his eyes scanning around. The guards responsible for escorting the carriage rode their horses closely beside it.
Lin Qingwen instructed in the car: "Let the people behind stay in the car and don't move, no running around."
Their target is her and Lin Yubin, unless necessary, they won't waste extra effort to kill the people in the back.
Jiang Nan made a gesture to the carriage behind, and the driver saw it, starting to quietly control the horse-drawn vehicle to back away, soon creating some distance from the front. The guards protecting Mrs. Xie's carriage stepped forward first.
But in an instant, the carriage Lin Qingyan was riding in was surrounded, like a solitary island in the ocean. The people around her were guarding her, while those outside kept trying to break through the defenses and charge in.
Zhong Ruying had already taken the lead in fighting against the enemy, and the Zhong family's attendants saw that their general was charging forward again, and they all killed a bloody path to protect him.
Xiang Jian and Sao Hong Li arrived the earliest. They advised, "General, let us handle these small fries, you go back and rest..."
Zhong Ruying completely ignored them, and with a swift movement, she blocked someone who was about to rush towards the horse carriage. Zhong Ruying's sword suddenly appeared in front of him, he reacted quickly by leaning back, drawing his knife and slashing fiercely...
Zhong Ruying only felt a slight numbness in her tiger's mouth, and when she saw the knife blocking her sword, her pupils couldn't help but shrink, "Liao Dao?"
As soon as this remark was made, Shi Jian and Sao Hongzi changed colour and shouted: "It's a Liao person, beware of bows and arrows!"
As soon as the words came out, several long arrows shot out from the forest with a "whooshing" sound, heading straight for the horse carriage. Jiang Nan leapt up and with his hand rising and knife falling, knocked down the flying arrows, shouting: "Yi Han!"
The Liao people's bows and arrows are known for being "fast, ruthless, and accurate". We must take out the archers, otherwise there will be too many variables.
Yi Han didn't move, one knife cut down the person in front of him, and then blew two whistles in a row. The scene was chaotic, and no one noticed that several figures disappeared into the scene like ghosts, sneaking into the woods.
The four guards of Gong Bu were also in order, tightly guarding the carriage, and the arrows in their hands continuously shot out to harvest lives.
Learning that they were Liao people, Zhong Ruying struck even harder, and the Zhong family's followers were like they had been injected with chicken blood, not to mention the Lin family's guards. The chaotic battle in the field became even more intense.
Lin Yuheng leaned tightly against Lin Qingwan's side, his pale face asking, "Auntie, is she a Liao person?"
Lin Qingyan's voice was cold as she said: "There must be a traitor, Jiang Nan, let them leave two alive!"
"Yes!"
Needless to say, Zhong Ruying and Yi Han also knew this, so although they were resentful when they took action, when they encountered people who looked like leaders, they only maimed them without taking their lives.
However, it is clear that the other party was a carefully trained warrior of Liao State, and almost certainly had no combat effectiveness after biting poison to commit suicide.
Everyone is fighting, and it's not until the last person, of course, can't stop them from going to die, want to die then die.
Anyway, there are still many people behind, if they can't stop those who want to jump from the back, it's useless to stop them now.
Arrows kept shooting out from the woods, but gradually, fewer and fewer arrows were shot out, until finally not a single arrow came out.
The man in front gritted his teeth, "We've been deceived, retreat!"
The team didn't just have people from Lin's family, but also a female general.
In Daliang, there is only one woman who can be called a general. They only thought of killing the Lin family to avenge their revenge, but they didn't think about killing Zhong Ruying and offending the Zhong family army.
Zhong Ruying and Yi Han, how could they let them go? With a loud shout, they chased after them. Jiang Nan didn't move, leading the people to guard the horse carriage, no matter how intense the fight outside was, he stood still, guarding the horse carriage without moving.
As a dark guard trained since childhood, he had to follow one principle: wherever his master was, he would be there too.
Yi Han and Zhong Ruying chased after them tightly, but in the end, they left everyone behind, without a single survivor.
Yi Han kicked the corpse with a gloomy face and said, "They must have insiders in Suzhou, otherwise they wouldn't be able to know their itinerary so clearly."
Zhong Ruying frowned and asked, "Has your county lord offended many people?"
Yi Han's expression turned slightly gloomy, as if he was thinking of something.
Recently, the Lin family has indeed offended many people. To say nothing of those from afar, just talking about this time's grass paper incident, every single person in the families whose interests and reputation were damaged had a reason to strike back, but none of them did.
It's just a dispute over interests, and there are rules between aristocratic families that won't lead to killing over this.
The first one that made Yi Han suspicious was the Zhao family, but there was no evidence and no signs, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion hastily.
What if it's not? Wouldn't that let the person behind the scenes off scot-free?
Zhong Ruying saw that he had an idea and didn't ask further, after all she was a Zhong, this was Lin's family matter, even if she got along with Lin Qingyu, she couldn't rashly intervene before being asked.
However, Zhong Ruying looked at Yi Han with great appreciation, "You're very good, have you ever thought of joining the military?"
Yi Han lowered her eyelids and took a step back, saying: "Thank you, Princess, for your appreciation. It's just a small habit I've had since I was young in the Lin family, I never thought of leaving."
Zhong Ruying smiled and nodded, without asking again.
But in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, thinking that she should find time to talk to Lin Qingwan about it. Someone like this staying at home was a waste, and they should be sent to the battlefield instead.
