Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 360 Old Friend

"Aunt, the carriage is damaged and I'm afraid it can't be used any more. We should be close to the farm. When Madam comes back, you can ride with me."

Jiang Shangxian glanced at the blood and body parts on the ground, and fearing that he would scare Cui Shuhua, he wiped his face roughly and leaned over to the window to persuade her.

Cui Shuhua didn't really have to get out of the car to look. She was worried about Zhao Yue! How could she be so impulsive at her age? She should just get back to Chang'an right now!

Hearing her coming, he immediately lifted the car curtain and said anxiously: "Nian Nu, is Second Sister-in-law chasing after them with her men? We must call them back quickly!"

Jiang Shangxian also wanted to chase after him, but there were only three guards and two half-grown children left, plus the master and servant who were not weak. If she went to chase after the horse alone, she could not go too deep into the forest, and she felt that she could not catch up with it by relying on her legs alone.

"You, go and bring the lady back!"

Seeing her hesitation, Cui Shuhua pointed directly at a guard and said, "Just tell me what I said. If she doesn't come back, I will write a letter to Qinghe when I get back!"

"Yes!"

Although the person had left, Cui Shuhua couldn't calm down at all. Her eyes were full of worry: "Nian Nu, I always feel that my heart is beating a little fast. Could something have happened? Don't chase after a desperate enemy. What if there is an ambush ahead..."

Tension and anxiety are contagious. Xiao Jiang, who was told this, also started to get worried. This shouldn't be a problem, right?

"How could Madam be in trouble with so many guards? Aunt, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

Cui Shuhua remained silent. Qiaoxiang got off the carriage, holding a pot of water. Although her smile was forced, she managed to remain calm. "Miss Jiang, drink some water to moisten your throat. It was such a chaotic scene just now that the things inside were all over the place. I only happened to catch this pot."

Jiang Shangxian waved his hand: "You guys drink it yourself, I brought some water here, Yingzi."

Yingzi immediately took off the bamboo tube from her body, unscrewed it, and handed it to Jiang Shangxian, grinning at Qiaoxiang: "Sister Qiaoxiang, I will bring it with me every time I go out."

Qiaoxiang pursed her lips and smiled, looking at her little appearance, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "Yingzi is smart and down-to-earth, and she will definitely have a bright future..."

huh~

The sound of the long arrow breaking through the air came again, interrupting Qiaoxiang's remaining praise.

Without time to think, Jiang Shangxian pushed Yingzi and Jiang Wangri away and rolled to the ground: "Aunt, be careful!"

huh~

Another arrow flew straight towards Jiang Shangxian's face. She didn't even have time to get up before she rolled on the ground again. Her whole body was covered in mud mixed with blood and she looked extremely miserable.

The two guards, who had just been through a fierce battle, looked vigilantly in the direction of the sword. After exchanging a glance, one of them walked slowly towards that place with a knife. When he was about two feet away, he broke into a running position and chopped the side of the tree with his knife.

Jiang Shangxian stared intently, and upon seeing this, he couldn't help but say, "Not good! Get out of the way!"

The guard was wrong. The man was not under the tree, but on the tree!

The color of the hanging piece of clothing was almost the same as the tree trunk. She didn't notice it at first. It was only when the archer moved himself that she noticed the difference. She raised her hand and remembered that she had not had time to fill her sleeve arrows, so she immediately ran forward with the knife in hand.

Ziga~

The sound of the sharp blade piercing through the flesh and sliding across the bones made people's scalps numb, and Jiang Shangxian's footsteps suddenly stopped.

A long knife penetrated his vest from top to bottom and came out from his chest. The speed was so fast that he had no time to react. The person using the knife was also incredibly strong and pulled the long knife back smoothly as if it was extremely easy.

The guard who was swinging his sword suddenly froze, blood gushing out from his chest and back, and blood also kept flowing out of his mouth. He struggled to use up his last bit of strength to turn his head and look at the tree, and then fell straight to the ground without a sound.

It happened too suddenly and too quickly. Jiang Shangxian didn't even have time to grieve before he was forced to start thinking about what to do in this situation.

There is only one guard left, and her combat power can only be considered as half a guard, not to mention Yingzi. Together with Jiang Wangri, the combat power of their family of three is only considered as that of one guard, so now there are two guards.

"Nian Nu, get on your horse and go." Cui Shuhua's voice came from the carriage. She knew that she might encounter misfortune soon, and she also knew that she was a burden at the moment.

But she still let Jiang Shangxian go first.

Although she tried her best to remain calm, her slightly trembling voice betrayed her true emotions.

She is afraid.

"Aunt, he's just a thief. Can't we defeat him with so many of us?" Jiang Shangxian tried to make his tone more relaxed and casual. In this situation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a desperate thief.

She stared at the man falling from the tree and felt uneasy. There were enough people in the fight just now, and she was relatively safe in the backstage to finish off the enemy. But now there was no one to protect her.

This thief is obviously much more powerful than the previous ones. They have run into a tough guy.

"Miss Jiang, you go first." The only remaining guard did not look back, but stood in front of them with his body tense. He knew that he could not beat this man, so he could only use his life to delay him and buy them a chance to escape.

The guards exist to protect the safety of their masters. Even if they can survive, if something happens to their masters, they will not be able to survive after they return. On the contrary, only those who fight desperately to protect their masters can have their families treated preferentially.

"Want to leave? Hehehe~"

A hoarse female voice was heard, and then a pale woman appeared behind the man. Her eyes were filled with malice as she stared straight at Jiang Shangxian: "Auntie Jiang, how can you be so heartless when we meet as old friends?"

"Wu, San, mother."

When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with jealousy. Jiang Shangxian pronounced her name word by word, staring intently at the person in front of him who had already changed his appearance: "How dare you come to see me!"

"In broad daylight, Aunt Jiang is a human, not a ghost. Are you saying this to scare me?"

She smiled sweetly, but her voice was hoarse as if she had typhoid fever. Her face looked a little strange when she smiled: "I missed you so much~"

Jiang Shangxian stared at that face, equally filled with malice. Not only because of her previous plot against him, but also because of the guards who died in battle today. "You really are a bit ugly now. For someone as obsessed with beauty as you, with a face like that, you dare to come out and see me in broad daylight. How could I have the heart to scare you?"

Strictly speaking, Wu Sanniang's face is pretty now, but her face is too thin. If her expression is slightly exaggerated, it will look weird. If she doesn't make any expression, she is still a beauty.

She said this on purpose. At this point, the fight was a fight to the death. If she was destined to die here today, she would not let Wu Sanniang have an easy time. She wanted to disgust Wu Sanniang with her appearance, which was what mattered to her the most.
