Chapter 244 Ambush in the Bamboo Forest


    "Ouch, wait, my young master hasn''t come out yet."


    A boy from the Yang family wearing a cotton-padded jacket ran out.


    Old Li Tou asked curiously: "If your young master can''t come out, what does it have to do with us?"


    "Isn''t it a rough road? Wouldn''t it be safer if we walked together?" The boy''s eyes rolled around.


    Yang Yingrong came out wearing a fox fur cloak. There was darkness around his eyes and a haggard look on his face. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest last night. When the boy opened the curtain, he got on the carriage without saying a word.


    The distress letter was sent back.


    But there was no reply!


    The Yi Cheng sent the thief to the Yamen, but there was no movement. Not even a single officer or soldier was sent to protect him.


    It was strange that Yang Yingrong could sleep at all.


    He always felt that there was a thief trying to kill him, so he would lie down with his eyes wide open until dawn. When he learned that Qin Chi was going to Beijing, he couldn''t sit still and wait for death. Without much thought, he decided to go with him, at least he would have a companion on the way back to Beijing.


    Qin Chi noticed that Song Jin was paying attention to the outside, and gently squeezed her little hand, "No need to look, everything is going as we imagined."


    "I thought some officials would come to inquire." Song Jin said this with a bit of self-mockery.


    Qin Chi said softly: "You have overestimated the speed of the Yamen''s handling of the case. Yi Cheng sent the person there overnight, and he was only locked up in the prison. He would not go out to wake up the county magistrate."


    Wait for those people to wake up and work.


    The sun has already risen very high.


    Old Li Tou had already received Qin Chi''s instructions and asked loudly to the boy behind him who was about to drive: "Brother, do you want to go in front, or should we go in front?"


    The boy turned around and asked the carriage.


    Yang Yingrong''s voice came from the carriage: "Let Qin Jieyuan go first."


    So the boy conveyed Yang Yingrong''s intention.


    For the masters and servants of the Yang family, when they encounter obstacles on the road, the person walking in front has to block them.


    There are two carriages on Qin Chi''s side.


    One car contained several people''s luggage and Huizhou''s specialties. The driver was originally Qin Ba, but now he was replaced by Lao Li Tou.


    The car Qin Chi and Song Jin were riding in was replaced by Qin Ba as the driver, and Qin Qi sat on the other side of the shaft.


    After they set off.


    The carriage did not move very fast, only slightly faster than walking.


    On the road near the capital, there is a section where the number of villages becomes fewer and fewer as you go, and even pedestrians are scattered in the winter.


    Suddenly, the carriage slowed down.


    Qin Bazhen reported: "Master, there are two people blocking the road. They are carrying book boxes on their backs, and they are probably students rushing to take exams."


    Sure enough, wait for the carriage to stop.


    A student came up and cupped his hands and said: "This brother, Xiaosheng Lu Baizhou, went to Beijing with his friends to take the exam. He lost part of his luggage on the way. He is really tired after walking for so long, so he came here shamelessly, hoping to ride on the carriage."


    Hearing that, the student also stepped forward.


    The two of them looked at Qin Ba expectantly.


    Qin Ba couldn''t decide on this matter.


    Qin Chi opened the curtain and said, "If you two don''t mind, you can sit in the carriage at the back."


    "I don''t dislike it, I don''t dislike it, thank you brother."


    Lu Baizhou thanked him repeatedly and led his friend to Lao Litou''s carriage.


    After getting on Lao Litou''s carriage, it was natural that even Lao Di could be lured out.


    The two of them were indeed going to Beijing to take the exam, but their luck was not good. The coachman fell ill on the way, so they had no choice but to rent a car together. Unexpectedly, the car had not been rented yet, and their wallets had been stolen at some point.


    Can only walk on legs.


    There was nothing to eat on the road, so I had to sell books.


    I got here with many bumps and bumps along the way.


    Little did the two know that something more exciting was waiting for them.


    Because Lao Litou''s carriage stopped.


    Yang Yingrong''s carriage passed by and happened to be in the middle of the three carriages.


    Whether intentionally or not, Lao Litou''s carriage did not pass him again.


    At noon.


    The carriage passed by a bamboo forest.


    The ambush is coming.


    "kill!"


    Sixteen masked men armed with swords rushed out of the bamboo forest.


    Without saying anything, he rushed towards the three carriages.


    Six of them rushed towards Qin Chi''s carriage, and the rest rushed towards Yang Yingrong''s carriage, while Lao Li Tou''s carriage was ignored.


    The Yang family''s carriage is the best. At first glance, it must be the master''s seat.


    If not the people in the car, who else would be killed?


    According to the news received before, there are two carriages targeted for interception. As for why there is an extra car, it is not within their scope of consideration. They just need to complete the task.


    "Assholes! Do you know who we are?"


    The boy''s face turned pale with fright, and he was trembling as he spoke.


    On the contrary, Yang Yingrong came out with a long sword and kicked the annoying boy away, "Go away, you are disturbing me here."


    Yang Yingrong pointed his sword at the leading masked man and said with an arrogant attitude: "With your face covered, do you think that this young master doesn''t know who you are? Wait, I have sent a letter home. Even if you die here today, your Yuan family will not know who you are." Think about it! If this young master is not dead today, he will definitely kill Yuan Shipeng in the future!"


    These words.


    Extremely arrogant.


    The masked men who rushed towards me suddenly stopped one by one.


    Then they all turned to look at the leader.


    The leader was also shocked. Didn''t he come to kill a student who went to Beijing to take the exam?


    Who is Yang Yingrong?


    Who doesn''t know this dandy in the capital?


    They all know this person.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    Oops, wrong person!


    The leader turned to look at the carriage in front of him.


    The people over there were already fighting, and three people were lying on the ground, their lives and deaths unknown.


    Just as they were about to retreat.


    Unexpectedly, a group of people hurriedly came to the official road ahead.


    "Hurry and save people!"


    It was the Yang family who came to meet Yang Yingrong.


    The leader is Yang Yingrong''s eldest brother.


    At first, the Yang family didn''t believe that the Yuan family would kill Yang Yingrong. First of all, Mr. Yang Ge didn''t believe it. The superficial disagreement between him and Yuan Shangshu was also a tacit understanding. It was just a show in front of the emperor. But he was not afraid of ten thousand but afraid of the worst, so he asked Master Yang to take someone to pick him up at the inn.


    Yang Yingrong confronted a group of masked men.


    From a distance, the situation looks critical.


    Just shoot it with one arrow!


    call out!


    One arrow kills one person.


    Another arrow!


    Blocked by a defensive masked man.


    The leading masked man suddenly said, "Retreat! Escape quickly!"


    As soon as he said this, he took the lead to escape to the bamboo forest.


    The others listened and quickly followed.


    The six people who attacked Qin Chi and his carriage were all lying down. The other ones who escaped could not escape the horses with their own two legs. The Yang family''s guards, led by Young Master Yang, were in hot pursuit.


    Finally, they were all captured.


    However, before the Yang family could interrogate him, the captured masked man committed suicide by taking poison one after another.


    He died very simply, without even a groan.


    "Damn it, this young master is not done with the Yuan family!"


    Yang Yingrong was so angry that he stepped forward and stabbed the corpse of the leading masked man several times with his long sword, "Brother, why are you here so slowly? If you were slower, you would be able to catch up and collect the corpse for me."


    Yang Yingji said coldly: "Who caused this disaster?"


    Yang Yingrong was silent now.


    Qin Chi got off the carriage, followed by Song Jin.


    Song Jin looked at the scene.


    Corpses were carried to the roadside one after another, their masks had been pulled off, and they were all unfamiliar faces.


    Song Jin didn’t know any of them.


    Qin Chi also looked at it again and said, "I don''t recognize them at all."


    At this time, Yang Yingji saw Qin Chi, came forward and cupped his hands and said, "Qin Jieyuan, it''s a pleasure to meet you."


    "Young Master Yang, thank you for saving me this time."


    Qin Chi returned the favor gently.


    Yang Yingji said: "This time it is our Yang family who has caused trouble to you. When we return to the capital, we will make amends at our house."


    "No, Master Yang is too polite."


    Qin Chi exchanged greetings with Yang Yingji here.


    In addition, Lu Baizhou and the two came over tremblingly, their faces turned pale with fright, and their legs were shaking when they walked.


    This is an unforeseen disaster.


    The unlucky duo is in trouble!
