The coachmen did the same thing without having to negotiate ?? they stopped the car. Everyone quickly got out of their cars and walked around.
Before nightfall, the team entered a county town and stopped in front of an i
.
Two bookish young men walked out from the tavern side by side. When they saw Lei Xiangzhi, Huo Sirui and the others, they smiled at them amicably.
After settling down in the tavern, Qin Mian and the others went downstairs to the great hall to eat.
The two scholars were also eating their meals when they suddenly saw a giant wolf standing by the table. They were both shocked and frightened. They also saw a cute little kid feeding a chicken leg to the wolf. They couldn't help but cry out in alarm, afraid that the little kid would be bitten.
He turned his head and made a face at them, his crisp voice sounded naughty, "Stop making a fuss!"
Lei Tia glanced at him, "Full."
He stuck out his tongue and smiled sweetly at the two scholars, patting Bai's head with his small hands. With a proud tone, he said, "Two uncles, you don't have to be afraid. A little white is raised by our family, be good."
Yuan Yuan cupped his fists towards the two of them in a proper ma
er, and said in a childish voice, "Younger brother is still young, please forgive me."
Lei Xiangzhi, Qu Zongwen, Escort Master Zhang and the rest, as well as the other guests in the tavern could not help but burst out in laughter, praising the cuteness of the place.
The two scholars' eyes were wide open, almost petrified. Were these two children really only three or four years old?
Qin Mian rubbed the two little fellows's heads, then cupped his hands towards the two from far away, "My son is mischievous, please do not blame him."
The two scholars quickly waved their hands. "No worries, no worries."
After finishing their meal, Escort Master Zhang and the other two walked over to Qin Mian's table. Because they had to take care of Yuan Yuan and Full Moon at the same time, Qin Mian and Lei Tia's eating speed was slower than the others.
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Lei."
Qin Mian stood up, "Four big brothers, have you all finished eating?"
"Yes." Young Master Qin, take a seat. " Escort Zhang sat down on an empty stool at the side. Without wasting any time, he said the reason for his visit, "If there are no accidents, we will be passing through the Buried Flower Ridge tomorrow afternoon. The Buried Flower Ridge was one of the most dangerous places to encounter bandits on the way here. In the past, seven out of ten times we'd run into trouble there. Tomorrow, the two Young Masters must take good care of the two children. "
Qin Mian thanked him calmly. "Thank you for your reminder, Zhang Bao Shi. Tia and I will take good care of them."
Lei Tia nodded towards Zhang Biao. His gaze was calm and his aura was still like a mountain.
Yuan Yuan and the other two smart girls thanked him in unison, "Thank you, Uncle!"
Zhang Biao didn't really understand Qin Mian's and Lei Tia's capabilities, so he was actually very worried that the existence of the two children would drag them down. Now that he saw two cute little fellows, he put down his worries. If Qin Mian and Lei Tia didn't have true ability, how would they dare to take their biological son on a risk?
He stroked his round head with a smile. "No need to thank me. Our four uncles will protect you when the time comes."
The night passed in silence.
The next day, the group made their arrangements and set out on their journey again. The caravan that lived in the same i
as them was also packing up. The two scholars that they had met yesterday were in their caravan.
Qin Mian understood that the two students had their own concerns, hence they went with the caravan.
The two groups of people left the i
one after the other and headed out of the city.
Taking advantage of the good weather, other than stopping midway to make it convenient for everyone, Qin Mian's convoy did not stop again. Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried Yuan Yuan and rode their horses for a while, then played games. The two little fellows weren't bored at all.
It was unknown what intentions the team had as they maintained a certain distance from them. When they stopped in front of them, they too would stop.
As Zhang Biao had expected, at the end of the day, a mountain range appeared in front of him. The two mountains were like two parallel vertical lines, with the official road between them. Raising his head to look upwards, he saw two mountains covered with flowers. Multicolored flowers were blooming in a competing competition, and they were extremely beautiful. The spring breeze blew gently. Multicolored petals floated down and formed a thin layer on the ground. However, the surrounding silence and dark shadows added a terrifying aura to the valley. Those brightly colored flowers no longer seemed as beautiful as they did before. Instead, they seemed to be filled with the aura of death. No wonder this place was called "Buried Flower Ridge."
The four carriages slowed down.
"Stop!" Zhang Biao was at the front of the caravan, riding on his horse. His sharp eyes were twinkling as he calmly sized up both sides of the carriages.
Lei Tia intentionally let Lei Qinshun and Lei Qinzhong demonstrate their strength as he glanced at them.
Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun nodded, then rode their horses to Zhang Biao's side and whispered: "Escort Zhang, the two of us will go with you to lead the way."
Zhang Biao had a good impression of Qin Mian and Lei Tia. If Qin Mian and Lei Tia had only let the four of them open a path in front, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Lei Qinle, our carriage is last." Lei Tia instructed.
"Yes."
Lei Tia squeezed Qin Mian's hand, "My wife, you take care of Yuan Yuan and He Man."
"Don't worry." Qin Mian made Yuan Yuan and Yue Yang sit on his thighs respectively. He and Lei Tia had long noticed the Qi of many people in the bushes on the mountain. To them, Zhang Biao's skill was considered average. However, his instinct for danger was worthy of praise.
Yuan Yuan and Man didn't seem to be afraid at all as they clapped their small hands and played.
"Son, there will be bad guys trying to bully us later. Are you afraid? " Qin Mian gave the two children some prophylactic shots so that they wouldn't be frightened by the commotion outside.
Yuan Yuan shook his head at the same time, his face showed no fear as he looked at Lei Tia at the same time.
"Father is very powerful, he can chase away bad people." Zhang Xuan said proudly.
Yuan Yuan nodded his head in approval.
The corner of Lei Tia's mouth slightly raised, and he looked at Qin Mian, showing off a little.
Qin Mian rolled her eyes at him and asked the two children, feeling wronged, "Is father not powerful?"
Hesitating for a moment, "Daddy is awesome too..." "Daddy can cook, not even Big Bro and Big Bro can cook."
Lei Tia laughed silently.
Qin Mian fiercely glared at Lei Tia after being stabbed by his own son. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "You are responsible for cooking when I teach my child martial arts in the future!"
Lei Tia's face stiffened, "Wifey..."
Qin Mian ignored him.
Lei Tia took advantage of Yuan Yuan's inattentiveness and leaned over to kiss the corner of his wife's mouth, "My wife, you're even stronger, you understand." You, who can conquer me, how can't you be powerful?
The temperature on Qin Mian's face abruptly shot up.
"There's no rush." Zhang Biao said to Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qinshun as he indistinctly looked at the convoy behind them. The caravan's situation was even more dangerous than theirs. In this case, if the caravan didn't do anything, they wouldn't need their help even if they faced off against each other later. If the caravan members were smart enough, they should have offered to cooperate.
After a while, a man came trotting over on a horse. He really was here to discuss cooperation.
After the discussion, the two teams combined into one. Those with combat strength were evenly distributed around the team, protecting all the carriages.
Zhang Biao instructed the scholars not to panic no matter what happened, and not to run around everywhere.
It was impossible for the scholars to not be nervous. Lei Xiangzhi knew that his big brother and big sister-in-law were strong, and comforted them without panicking. In general, everyone was very calm.
Zhang Biao was very satisfied. Only then did he lead the group of merchants into the passageway with the person called Feng Cheng.
When the caravan reached the middle of the road, there was a burst of shouting from the mountain. More than forty bandits rushed down the mountain and wrapped the caravan with dumplings.
The skills of these bandits were actually not weak. However, Zhang Biao and his four bodyguards were not for nothing. The eight guards on Feng Cheng's side were all experts as well. Although this battle was intense, not only did the robbers not gain any advantage, they also lost seven to eight experts.
Lei Tia did not even get down from the car as he shot an arrow at the leader, right in between the leader's eyes.
This arrow completely destroyed the bandits' morale, and they quickly escaped without a trace.
Zhang Biao looked at Qin Mian's carriage with admiration, feeling more at ease with the rest of the journey. He raised his voice and asked, "Is anyone hurt?"
Bu Qingyun stuck his head out of the carriage, "Brother Zhang, no, we are all fine. It's been hard on you all. "
Lei Qinle also said loudly, "There's nothing wrong here either."
Two people in the caravan were slightly injured and nothing serious happened.
Without further ado, they left the valley, in case the bandits decided to retaliate.
Not long after the caravan rushed out of the valley, the sound of rapid hoofbeats could be heard from the horses behind them.
Lei Qinzhong looked back and reported to the carriage, "Uncle, Young Master, it's a team of five people."
Lei Qinshun snorted: "They are so close to us, I'm afraid they are waiting for us to kill the bandits and run away."
Lei Qinzhong also had the same thought, but he could do nothing about it, "It's good that we're not injured, we can't care about them too much."
The sound of the horse's hooves grew closer and closer. Soon, they were right in front of him and galloped past him.
Lei Qinshun inadvertently swept a glance at the people on horseback, and exclaimed "Eh?", then looked at the backs of the people in shock.
"What's wrong?" Lei Qinzhong casually asked.
Lei Qinshun lowered his voice, his tone uncertain, "The person on the horse at the very front ?? He looks just like me. I must be mistaken. "
Qin Mian and Lei Tia's hearing were both very good, and when they unintentionally heard his words, they looked at each other in surprise.
In this world, how could people be similar? Furthermore, it was possible that Lei Qinshun had seen wrongly. Qin Mian did not take this to heart.
The caravan and caravan headed to the north. They were getting more familiar with each other and knew that the caravan was also going to Beijing. However, Qin Mian's group carried less weight and walked quickly. After travelling with the caravan for a day, they separated.
Five days later, the convoy arrived at Jinshui City. Gold Water City was a big city, so when Zhang Biao suggested to rest here for the day, no one had any objections. He was only two or three days away from the capital, and there was no need to hurry like before.
The closer they got to the capital, the stronger the atmosphere became. The streets of the Golden Water City were filled with scholars. Most of them were like Qin Mian and the others, resting and reorganizing themselves in the Golden Water City.
Zhang Biao led the convoy and stopped in front of Lucky Return I
.
Yuan Yuan and the others couldn't wait to get out of the car.
"Father, I want to go down!"
Lei Tia easily carried the two little fellows at the same time. "Wifey, I'll take them down first."
"Alright." Qin Mian took down a bag and passed it to Lei Qinzhong, then he locked the carriage's windows and doors.
"Guests, please come in!" The waiter came out and greeted them warmly with a glance of surprise. Seeing that the two of them looked exactly the same, he opened his mouth and said, "The two gongzi are cute and smart, this gongzi is so lucky!"
Lei Tia nodded lightly.
"Thank you very much." Qin Mian smiled at the waiter and adjusted the hats on the heads of the two kids.
Just as he reached the entrance, a young man walked up to him.
Qin Mian accidentally faced the other party, causing both of them to be startled.
The others were also stu
ed because these two people were too similar. Other than their eyebrows and eyes, they looked almost exactly the same. Qin Mian's eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, thick but not messy, full of heroic spirit. His eyes were almond shaped, bright and intelligent, and, in short, very pleasing to the eye. The youth's eyebrows were slightly pale, his single eyelid was accompanied by a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, and his slightly narrowed eyes looked somewhat gloomy. The other difference was his age. The youth seemed to be four or five years older than Qin Mian.
Note: Apricot is more than just a description of a woman.
