Chapter 340 Lazy Bandit
Yu Qinghai felt a little nervous. After knowing Yuan Xichen's identity, he was extremely careful at all times.
He felt it would be against etiquette if he rode in the same carriage with Yuan Xichen when they went to plant sweet potatoes this time.
Yuan Xichen naturally planned for a carriage, so he only prepared one.
He saw the embarrassed expression on Yu Qinghai's face and guessed what he was thinking.
Yuan Xichen raised his lips and said, "Brother Yu, this carriage is quite big, you won't squeeze me if you get on.
Besides, we will be faster later, and taking a carriage is also for the sake of having someone to look after us. If something happens, it can also avoid a lot of trouble."
He didn't believe that even though he had made his point so clearly, Yu Qinghai would still reject him.
As expected, Yu Qinghai felt that what he said made a lot of sense. So he got on the carriage reluctantly and took Yu Qingqing to sit far away from Yuan Xichen.
Yuan Xichen smiled and said, "Miss Yu, there is tea here. You can drink it anytime if you want."
Yuan Xichen naturally knew that they were somewhat nervous, so he tried hard to find various topics to talk about.
In the carriage space, Yu Qingqing also felt a little restrained.
Although he could normally get along well with Yuan Xichen, he felt more or less restrained in the small space of the carriage.
Hearing what Yuan Xichen said, Yu Qingqing smiled lightly. "Mr. Yuan, you don't have to worry about us. If we need anything, we will get it ourselves. I won't drink the water for now, you drink it."
Yu Qingqing moved her body slightly, leaving only her back to Yuan Xichen.
Yuan Xichen shook his head helplessly, expressing his understanding.
The carriage moved slowly in the village, and when it reached a flatter area it began to speed up.
This time, Yuan Xichen brought more than thirty guards with him. They all rode their horses and surrounded Yuan Xichen's carriage from the front and back.
If there really is an assassin, he can be protected well.
He also arranged a number of secret guards in secret locations to protect himself secretly.
Yuan Xichen has been the target of many assassination attempts since he was a child, and he has almost been to the gates of hell several times.
Since he was treated with the lotus dew given by Yu Qingqing last time, his internal strength has not only improved by leaps and bounds, but also improved particularly quickly when he practiced martial arts afterwards.
If he encounters a bottleneck, he only needs to spend some time to deal with it.
These changes were something he had never experienced before and gave him a big surprise.
He knew that although the thing was brought over by Yu Qinghai, he guessed that it was most likely made by Yu Qingqing.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he thought of this gentle, beautiful and mysterious girl, and his heart couldn't help but beat.
Yuan Xichen's eyes were fixed on Qingqing, as if he could not see enough of her.
In a few months she will be coming of age, and Yuan Xichen is particularly looking forward to that day.
"Master, Chongjun Mountain is ahead. I heard that some refugees have taken over the mountain and become kings.
A small force was formed on the top. They became bandits in the mountains and specialized in robbing passers-by.
However, because they are rather lazy, the people who come down to investigate are not very reliable.
Sometimes they come down every two or three days, sometimes once a week. If we are lucky this time, we may not encounter them. "
Yuan Yi slowed down the carriage and waited for news from the front. When he confirmed that there was no danger, he would speed up.
"Pay attention to the surrounding situation, be alert everywhere, and don't be careless." Yuan Xichen's cold voice came, without a trace of warmth.
Yu Qinghai in the carriage became a little nervous. He didn't want to encounter bandits on his first long journey.
Yu Qingqing was shocked when she heard about the bandits' patrolling methods. How lazy were they to do whatever they wanted?
However, if these bandits are really that lazy, it would be a good thing for them.
If you really encounter bandits, you will be extremely unlucky.
"Yes, I obey your command! Master, please stay in the carriage and wait for our news."
Ying Twenty, who was in charge of patrolling, galloped forward on his horse.
Yu Qinghai's face was filled with anxiety, and he did not hide it. Hearing that there might be bandits, he regretted that he had taken his sister with him in a fit of rage.
Although he mainly asks his sister to teach him, he can also teach others.
But Yuan Xichen didn't think so. He also had half of his own selfish motives. He wasn't worried about the bandits.
The guards I bring with me are worth ten men each, so there will be no problem in escorting me safely.
However, he saw the anxious look on Yu Qinghai's face, and comforted him softly: "Brother Yu, you don't have to worry.
This is indeed my fault for letting you take this risk. But please rest assured, I will definitely protect you and your sister."
When Yuan Xichen mentioned Yu Qingqing, he glanced at her.
Seeing that there was no anxious expression on Yu Qingqing's face, I felt relieved.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and after a while it arrived at a location 500 meters away from the foot of the mountain and stopped.
At this time, Ying Twenty just came riding over from the opposite side, "My lord, we have gone to investigate.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a group of about 300 bandits.
There are three people who are the heads of the family, namely the eldest boss, the second in command and the third in command.
They just happened to have robbed a group of people to go up the mountain a few days ago, and they seemed to be holding a wedding these days.
My subordinates have confirmed that they will not come down the mountain in the next few days. We will not be discovered if we speed up."
Now that everything has been found out, there is no time to lose. Yuan Xichen tells everyone to get on the road.
The carriage ran quickly on the road, but there was no bumpy feeling inside.
Yu Qingqing looked out through the window of the carriage and found that Chongjun Mountain was in a dangerous terrain.
There is obviously a small path at the foot of the mountain. I think this is the only way up the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain, there are towering trees more than ten meters high, and the vegetation here is also extremely lush.
If the imperial court wanted to suppress the bandits, it would probably be full of difficulties.
These bandits really know how to choose a place. They were able to settle down in this mountain, which shows a lot of perseverance.
After passing the foot of the mountain, everyone sped up without stopping for too long. It was not until they were two kilometers away from the mountain that Yuan Yi slowed down.
Everyone was too nervous just now and felt a little tired from the journey, so Yuan Xichen asked everyone to rest on the spot.
Yu Qinghai might have felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly got off the carriage and started vomiting.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" He felt like he was going to vomit out all the acid in his stomach.
"Brother, how are you?"
