Chapter 55 The Robbers Are Coming
Song Shangshang sat in front of the fire, rubbing his eyes, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
If the robber doesn't come again, she will fall asleep.
Like Song Shangshang, there were two other people in the exile team who stayed until midnight.
Si Yu in the carriage looked at the person sitting in front of the fire not far away, thinking that this girl really has perseverance.
He knew the other party's dream, but the little girl's dream might be because of her father's accident, and she only dreamed because of a shadow in her heart.
In the past two years, when he went to Fusang City, he sometimes passed the Yunding Mountains, but he didn't meet any robbers or bandits.
And I haven't heard from the people in the nearby city that there are bandits in the Yunding Mountains.
But if this girl doesn't sleep, there's nothing he can do about it. It just so happens that he can't sleep either, so it's good to have someone to accompany her.
On the other side of the carriage, Gu Qing had dark circles under his eyes. Tonight, His Royal Highness King Jin came to tell him that there might be bandits ambushing on the Yunding Mountains, and asked him to pay more attention at night.
He also said that he had a good look, he had been fighting on the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, and had never been to the east.
I don't know the situation here, thinking that His Royal Highness King Jin often went to Fusang City to understand the terrain here, and if he said yes, it might really be there.
After all, it was the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the imperial army could not control it. Those vicious people occupied the mountain as king, robbed passing merchants, officials and merchants, and massacred the people. This kind of thing often happened in the west.
Behind the slope a few kilometers away, dozens of robbers gathered.
The group of them came to the Yunding Mountains half a month ago. Their boss said they wanted to try their luck, so they found a nearby village with few people, killed all the villagers in the village, and robbed them of food and money.
Then he lived in the village.
A group of them went out today, and they saw a passing team.
The people inside were wearing handcuffs and footcuffs, followed by officials. It seemed that they were the exile team of the imperial court.
However, their boss said that killing officials in the robbed exile team was much happier than killing these villagers, and the prisoners in the exile team were all high officials in the imperial court before, and they had a lot of money on them.
It is not comparable to the few taels of silver from the villagers. It is said that no matter whether it is an official who escorts a prisoner or a prisoner in the exile team, random search by anyone can find hundreds of taels of silver!
At this time.
A small man with a scarred face said, "Boss, why don't we do it?"
They have been in ambush for more than an hour.
The man called the boss pondered for a moment, "Wait another quarter of an hour."
There is still a quarter of an hour until the time of Chou. These people are on the road during the day, and they must be too tired to sleep at night, and they can't hear anything.
He was killed by them in his sleep, and he probably didn't even know how he died when he reported to King Yan.
They want to kill these people without a single soldier, and then rob them of their money, horses and other things.
This Song Changshang looked at the person sitting in front of him, a little puzzled.
"His Royal Highness, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
Come to her without sleeping in the middle of the night?Did you come to chat with her?
"Well, can't sleep."
Si Yu added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, and the flames that were about to go out ignited again.
Ok.
Song Changshang didn't know what to say, is it appropriate for him, a prince, to come and sit with her, a sinner!
Feeling about to die of awkwardness.
She now knows who the person she met the night she came out of the capital was. She didn't pay much attention that night, thinking it was someone from the clan, but then she thought that all the men over the age of 15 in the clan were handcuffed and footcuffed. I didn't bring it, let alone who in the clan would follow others in the middle of the night when they were free.
Only the boring His Royal Highness Jin Wang in front of him.
