C34

The wheels continued to roll forward. A nondescript carriage was protected by two guards on horseback, one in the front and the other behind it, passing through a bamboo forest.

The four guards and Coachman who was driving the carriage were all wearing straw raincoats and wide bamboo hats, which can prevent the rain but not the coldness.

"Uncle Li, the sky is very overcast. The rain is probably getting heavier and heavier, should we find a place to stop?" The guard in front turned to the side and shouted into the carriage.

Ling Family's butler Li Zheng lifted the curtains of the carriage and shouted: "Then let's find a place to rest. Brother Wang, do you know where we can find a place to block the rain?"

After we pass through the bamboo forest, we will reach the Liantang Town after we circle around another mountain. Let’s have a rest here!” The Wong Wai replied.

"Alright, then I'll listen to Little Brother Wang's arrangement." The butler said.

The Wong Wai nodded and shouted to the other three: "Brothers, hold on, we will be able to rest after walking for a while more."

The butler put down the curtains and leaned back into the carriage.

"Butler, we've already left for six days. How much longer do we need to get to the capital?" The Ling Family’s servant, Shi Duner, who had been following them all the way from the Tan Yang asked.

"Soon. We will arrive at the capital in about four days." The butler replied.

"Ah?" Four more days. " Shi Duner's face down.

"Damn brat, is that all the patience you have? Wong Wai and other guards have not said anything, but you are just sitting well in the carriage and complaining? " The butler said.

"Oh, how could I dare to complain? It's just that this carriage is very shaky, sitting here for too long caused my waist and my back be aching." Shi Duner said.

The butler raised his hand and knocked Shi Duner on the head, "I don't even feel pain from my back, you are so young, how could you feel pain first?"

Shi Duner rubbed his head and did not dare to say anymore words of complaint. After smiling apologetically and comforted the butler happily, he exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbing his hands.

The horse carriage gradually passed through the bamboo forest and entered mountain road.

Before entering the mountain road, Shi Duner lifted the curtains and looked outside, then shouted in surprise: "Butler, there's another official road over there!"

Hearing that, the butler leaned out and looked as well. He discovered that there was indeed a wider official road coming from the west to combine with the main road.

The Wong Wai outside explained to them: "Over there is the road to Shengzhou, head west from Shengzhou and past another small city, it’s the border. This official road is one of the official roads that are heading from Shengzhou towards the capital. It's raining right now, but if it's sunny, we should be able to meet the people coming from there. "

"So that is the road to the border. Brother Wang, is that if we go this way, we could meet Marshal Yuwen here?" Shi Duner shouted excitedly.

Wong Wai and the other three guards started laughing out loud. Wong Wai said, "Shi Duner, you still want to see Marshal Yuwen?"

"If only I could become a soldier under the Marshal Yuwen. It would be good if I could even meet him once." Shi Duner said with longing.

"Oh, so ambitious!" Wong Wai and the rest started laughing loudly once again.

The butler felt embarrassed, and raised his hand to knock Shi Duner’s forehead.

Shi Duner, this idiot. Fortunately he didn't tell him that their destination was Yuwen Clan in advance, otherwise, he would be too excited to the sky.

"Shut up and sit still, don't disturb Wong Wai and the rest."

Shi Duner still wanted to say something, but the Wong Wai and the rest outside had changed the topic, "We will be entering the mountain road right in front. Brothers, keep your spirits up. It’s hard to walk on rainy days. Old Sixth, you need to be steadier on your hands. "

When the taciturn Coachman heard this, he replied, "Understood."

The carriage slowly entered the mountain road, just as Wong Wai had said, it was even more difficult to go in the mountain road. It was either potholes or mud, and there was even water severely collected in the potholes, making it hard to judge its depth. It was a problem if the wheels got stuck. The mud was too soft, and some of it might sink in.

Coachman Old Sixth's eyes were focused on the road ahead, carefully driving the carriage, the two guards in front were also probing the road and reminding him of the big potholes.

"There is a hill ahead of us. Old Sixth, come down to walk later." Wong Wai said.

Coachman nodded.

After walking for a while, they reached the uphill slope. Fortunately, there were no potholes or mud on the way up, so Old Sixth jumped off the carriage, trotting while driving the horse and followed up.

Seeing that the carriage had already reached the top of the hill, Wong Wai, who was in front, suddenly felt a different aura, his eyes were sharp as he looked around the road, discovering some traces that were difficult to detect, he immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Be careful, something is not right!"

Butler’s heart tightened suddenly, he lifted the curtain in a hurry: "What happened?"

"Uncle Li, you sit in the carriage. Don't come out." Wong Wai's face turned serious.

"Hehe, you do have sense that you can actually see through the trick behind it!" A sinister laughter suddenly came out, and more than ten bandits with sabers appeared out from the forests on both sides of mountain road.

The moment these bandits came out, the atmosphere immediately changed. The four guards immediately drew out their weapons.

"Crap, I never thought that I would meet bandits after leaving Tan Yang for so long." Sitting in the carriage, the butler's face was ghastly pale.
