Chapter 449 Attacked
However, this is just the beginning.
Originally, there was a housekeeper by Guo Jiamei's side, but because she was now just a concubine, according to the rules, concubines did not have so many servants to serve them, so the housekeeper was arranged to be somewhere else and did not serve her personally.
Each concubine has only one personal maid for the time being.
Seeing the mess in the room, Guo Jiaxin from the third room had no choice but to ask her maid to clean it up.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened and night fell. The kitchen had no plans to send them any more meals, so they would have to go hungry tonight.
They were already tired after a day's journey, and now they were hungry, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Their maids wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food, even if it was just dry food, but the servants all followed Guo Jiaqu's orders and refused to give them anything. They couldn't even replace the broken cups.
This clearly tells them that if something is broken, there will be no replacement!
Because of this, several people felt a little resentful, but they could do nothing about it. Fortunately, they had water bags for drinking water on the road, so they were not without water to drink, but they had no way to eat.
Even the food of her personal maids was withheld, and they were not allowed to bring it into the house to eat, so they had to starve.
They were starving that night and only had a hot breakfast the next morning.
Although the breakfast was still simple, just steamed buns and rice porridge, which was simply the treatment for servants, they were not picky this time, as they were all so hungry that they couldn't stand it!
Even Guo Jiamei stopped making a fuss, otherwise she would have to go hungry again today. She learned from her mistakes.
After breakfast, the wedding procession set off again.
When getting into the sedan chair, Guo Jiamei looked at Si He's back with hatred in her eyes.
The rest of the people lowered their heads silently and got on the car in an orderly manner.
Even Guo Zan was wise enough to be much more low-key, not wanting to ruin the purpose of this trip just for a momentary fight!
His main purpose is to promote Jiamei to be a co-wife. Only in this way can the third branch gain a firm foothold in the Yue family in the future. Then, it will be the time to avenge the previous shame!
He lowered his eyes and mounted his horse silently.
Today, it is still a cloudy day, even worse than yesterday, and the sky is dark.
However, as long as it doesn't rain, this kind of weather is much more comfortable than traveling under the scorching sun.
The team moved forward in an orderly manner. At the beginning, everything went smoothly, but when they reached a dangerous section of the mountain road, something unusual happened.
"Rumble..."
Large and small rocks rolled down the hillside with great momentum.
The Yue family's guards quickly protected the team and retreated hastily. Despite this, some people were still injured.
The carriage was shaking, and Si He quickly held on to it, so she didn't get hit.
After the team retreated some distance, sharp arrows began to be shot down from the hillside!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
As the long arrows flew by, they made a series of sounds, followed by the "clang clang" sounds as the broadswords and long swords swept across the sharp arrows.
“Ah—help!!!”
"There are bandits! Run!"
"Help me—"
……
The servants of the Guo family had never encountered such a thing before. They were immediately panicked and fled in all directions. Many of them were shot by arrows and screamed, and some died on the spot!
Arrows rained down, and the guards of the Yue family basically only guarded the sedan chair where Si He was, and rarely cared about the servants, including the concubines in the carriage.
If it weren't for the Guo family's guards protecting them, they would probably have suffered heavy casualties!
A group of people retreated while resisting the rain of arrows.
At this time, the leader of the Guards, Yang Guang, suddenly took out something and shot it into the sky.
"Boom-bang!"
A flare was fired, flashing dazzling sparks in the sky.
When the men in black on the hillside saw this, their faces suddenly became very ugly, but they did not retreat and continued to attack.
After a while, the wedding procession retreated for a distance, and the arrows from the mountain could no longer reach them, so the arrows slowly stopped.
But what followed was a group of fully armed and tightly wrapped masked bandits. They were all aggressive and rushed down with big knives in hand!
The Yue family's guards quickly formed a circle and tightly protected Si He's sedan chair, while the people outside started fighting with the men in black.
The guards of the Guo family also took action. For a moment, swords and sabers flashed and crisscrossed.
Si He saw the tragic battle outside through the gap, and murderous intent appeared in her eyes. She drew out the dagger she carried with her, but did not go out rashly.
Gao You and Gao Zi were outside fighting against the attacking men in black together with the Yue family guards.
Guo Jiamei and others huddled in the carriage, shivering.
At this moment, even Guo Zan hid in the crowd, not daring to show his head, and drew his sword in his hand just in case.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a group of people suddenly emerged from the official road behind them. They were the guards of the Yue family.
The wedding procession this time consisted of far more than just these people. Half of the guards were secretly guarding in the rear, and they hurried over as soon as the signal flare was fired.
Originally, the two opposing sides were evenly matched, but suddenly a group of guards came to support them, which immediately reversed the situation and the black-clad bandits were defeated.
After a while, the fighting stopped quickly and most of the black-clad bandits were hacked to death. A few prisoners were captured alive, but they soon committed suicide by taking poison.
There were dead bodies and bloodstains everywhere. When the breeze blew, you could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.
In addition to most of the men in black, several guards of the Yue family died, and more than ten people from the Guo family died, most of whom were maids or servants with little resistance.
In addition, many people were injured.
Gao You and Gao Zi returned to the sedan chair, and Yang Guang followed. He faced the sedan chair and said, "I'm sorry to have frightened the young lady. The attackers have all been killed. I wonder if the young lady is injured?"
He knew she was very skilled, but he still had to ask.
Si He silently put away the dagger and replied, "I'm fine."
Yang Guang added, "That's good. Madam Rong, please wait for a moment, and we'll set off later."
"it is good."
After he finished speaking, Yang Guang brought his men to carefully check the bodies of these men in black, but they did not carry any identification.
Finally, Yang Guang squatted beside the body of a man in black, looked at the style and material of the shoes, then took off the shoes and asked his men to put them away.
Soon, they moved the corpses and rolled rocks on the road aside and cleared a clear path.
The wounds of the injured were quickly bandaged. The people of the Guo family were still in shock. Many maids and servants were frightened. Only the guards were relatively calm.
The people of the Yue family were used to it, and only showed some sadness when they saw the bodies of their companions.
