Chapter 242 Attacked
Li slowly approached Doctor Zhou, and the two of them sat close to each other.
In the darkness, Doctor Zhou inhaled the scent of Li. There was a strong wind outside, and the house was filled with the smell of soil and rain.
Li smelled the unique scent of a young man from Doctor Zhou, which made her heart flutter, and at this time, Wu Tong's charm in her heart was disappearing little by little.
A few days ago, Wenxiangju
Gao Yi was sitting in the back hall, with Shopkeeper Gao sitting at the top. Gao Yi said, "You Ran Ju can come up with new dishes thanks to Cheng Yang, who is in the Western Regions with the caravan. If we follow the caravan to the Western Regions, we will definitely find more ingredients for You Ran Ju."
Manager Gao didn't want to follow Manager Guo's path again, so he nodded and said, "I heard that the caravan will set off soon, and this time our Wenxiangju will be in the caravan."
Manager Gao asked Gao Yi to be fully responsible for the affairs of the Wenxiangju caravan.
Gao Yi immediately began to arrange the personnel for the Wenxiangju caravan, and it took only three days to complete the arrangements.
The night was as dark as ink, covering the wasteland at the border of Anyang County. Xue Qing had been traveling with the caravan for a day, and now he and Jiang Yi were sitting on the soft cushions of the carriage, both of them looking a little tired.
As the head of the caravan's security, Cheng Niu had already arranged them in the middle of the team to ensure their safety. And Wenxiangju, led by Gao Yi, was at the end of the caravan, like a solid barrier.
The firelight in the camp was dancing, and every face looked particularly resolute. The night was dark, and in the silence, only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance and the neighing of horses nearby could be heard. However, this tranquility did not last long.
In the middle of the night, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the silence of the night. Then, several dark shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts and rushed straight to the caravan camp. Their movements were swift and agile, and they were obviously well-trained killers.
"There are assassins!" Gao Yi's voice rang out in the night sky, exploding like thunder. The people in the caravan were instantly awakened from their sleep, and they all picked up their weapons and prepared to fight. However, these men in black seemed to have planned it in advance, and their goal was very clear - to go straight to the area where the carriages were parked.
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi's hearts instantly rose to their throats. They leaned close together, holding their hands tightly, and the guards around them quickly formed a circle to protect them in the center. However, the attack of the man in black was so fierce and fierce that they were unable to resist for a while.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Niu immediately shouted: "Don't panic! Wang Jin, you take some people to attack them from behind! The rest of you protect the goods in the convoy!" His voice was loud and firm, like a guiding lighthouse in the dark night.
The caravan members immediately followed Cheng Yang's instructions. Wang Jin led a team of guards to go around the back of the men in black, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
The others gritted their teeth, wielded their swords, and engaged in fierce battles with the men in black.
In the night, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were intertwined, and shouts and cries rose one after another.
Many people could no longer tell the direction and the people, but Xue Qing could see very clearly at this time. She found that these people in black entered the carriage one by one.
"Are there any young women?" A leader-like man in black asked the other men in black in a harsh voice, his voice full of cruelty. The long swords in their hands flashed coldly, looking particularly ferocious under the firelight.
After searching the nearest carriage, some men in black replied: "Nothing."
Because Xue Qing and Jiang Yi were dressed as men and mixed in the crowd, the men in black did not see them.
Jiang Yi patted Xue Qing on the shoulder, signaling her to be at ease. Jiang Yi was about to take action. It was roughly estimated that more than twenty people fell to the ground, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.
Xue Qing was a little nervous at first. After all, she had grown up under the red flag and had never seen such a scene. But now, she had recovered and was eager to try. She had practiced for so long, and now it was time to put it into practice.
As soon as Jiang Yi saw Xue Qing's expression, he knew that she wanted to intervene! But Jiang Yi couldn't let her be in any danger, so he whispered in her ear: "Qing'er, be obedient and don't do anything!"
Xue Qing was unwilling: "Believe me!"
Without waiting for Jiang Yi to speak, Xue Qing jumped out in one leap, and at this moment a man in black came over. He saw that it was a thin man who jumped in front of him, and stabbed Xue Qing in the chest with a sword.
Xue Qing had no practical experience, but because Jiang Yi had given her a lot of training, Xue Qing already had muscle memory.
He blocked the sword that the man in black was about to stab with his backhand.
The man in black didn't expect that this thin man would react so quickly. He turned around and stabbed Xue Qing's lower body again.
Xue Qing jumped and turned, took out the powder made from mushrooms from the space, and sprinkled it at the man in black.
The man in black felt the other party's hand swinging and thought that Xue Qing had shot a hidden weapon. His body's first reaction was to dodge the direction of the hidden weapon.
After standing still, I felt myself and found that I was not injured anywhere.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his strength and prepared to attack again. He looked in the direction of Xue Qing, and saw many flying little men appearing in front of him.
Xue Qing stood not far away and looked at the man in black, who kept waving the sword in his hand with an expression of fear on his face.
Jiang Yi knocked down several men in black in no time. Next to Xue Qing who had jumped up, he saw Xue Qing crossing his arms over his chest, watching a man in black dancing with a sword in place.
Xue Qing didn't say anything and pulled Jiang Yi to help Cheng Yang.
After a fierce battle, all the men in black were repelled under Cheng Yang's command.
However, when the guards led by Wang Jin returned, they found that the leader of the men in black had fled in the chaos. All they left behind was a messy camp and several bodies of men in black.
Cheng Niu stood in the open space, looked at the darkness in the distance and sighed deeply.
He knew that these men in black were not just ordinary robbers - they were obviously coming for the women in the caravan. And he was even more worried about the safety of Xue Qing and Jiang Yi - after all, he had personally arranged for them to join the caravan.
"We must be more vigilant," Cheng Yang said to Wang Jin, "These people are clearly well prepared and have a clear purpose. We must be more alert."
Wang Jin nodded in agreement and immediately gave orders to strengthen the vigilance.
Cheng Niu called Xue Qing aside alone, and Jiang Yi stood not far away and watched.
"Miss Wu, on the surface, there are no women in our caravan, but the leader of the men in black is looking for young women. This is very suspicious," Cheng Yang said with a serious face.
He did not think that these men in black were coming for Xue Qing, because they looked like they were out to kill people, and Xia Xueqing was, after all, a girl from an ordinary family, so it was impossible for her to have any enemies.
