Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 402 Crisis

Fortunately, Gu Qingyun and his group did not stay for too long. If they had stayed longer or had to rest for a long time, they might not have been able to get out without more than ten or twenty taels of silver.

You know, this amount of money can keep you going for more than 10 days in other prefectures, even in Kyoto Prefecture.

Bangzhou is the nearest provincial capital besides Nanzhou.

The reason why he didn't go to Nanzhou was because Gu Qingyun still had deep doubts about the Hua family in Nanzhou. But now Madam Rong was in the carriage and she looked mentally unstable. Gu Qingyun didn't want to irritate her, so he simply didn't say anything.

Everyone wakes up and sleeps, and from the initial nervousness and urgency to now slowly getting used to this speed of travel, only Gu Qingyun maintains the spirit of twelve hours.

Xinhai didn't dare to sleep either. He was afraid that something might happen to his young master, so he could only keep an eye on him. The young master was extremely stubborn, and if he tried to persuade him too much, it would probably backfire.

They ran all the way to the border of Nanzhou, and the people from Wubang didn't catch up with them. Everyone thought that they should be fine, after all, they would be able to reach Bangzhou within 3 days.

But just during these three days when everyone thought everything was fine, something went wrong.

A Lianmi's men are no pushovers. After all, if they fail to find Madam Rong, they will be the ones to die.

"The sound of horse hooves... is very chaotic, something is wrong. Shaoqing, you two go ahead, I'll go take a look."

Xinhai's voice was extremely firm, and his eyes were more determined than ever before. Before Gu Qingyun said that they should go together, he jumped out of the carriage and quickly disappeared at the end of the carriage.

Gu Qingyun glanced at Princess Ceci and said, "I know you are not a weak woman who can't even lift a finger. If Madam Rong doesn't return to Dayan Dynasty safely, you won't have any chance of losing your legal status."

Princess Sissi was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded with gritted teeth.

The carriages continued to move forward. Gu Qingyun moved to the last carriage and then moved two secret guards to the first carriage.

Now, the first carriage is the most important, and the secret carried by Madam Rong is more important than that of anyone else.

The second carriage was for the secret guards, so that if they were suddenly attacked, they could immediately escape with the first carriage.

The third carriage carried Zhangqiu, Xiaopingzi and others, and there were two carriages for the secret guards behind them. The remaining secret guards rode on horses or scouted behind them to ensure the safety of the group.

Gu Qingyun got on the last carriage without hesitation. Usually in such situations, the last carriage was the most dangerous.

It’s not that Gu Qingyun likes taking risks, or that he doesn’t take A Lianmi’s men seriously, but he really doesn’t want to waste all his efforts and give up just like that.

The speed of the crowd did not slow down at all, but Gu Qingyun could still hear the sound of horse hooves coming closer and farther away.

Except for Gu Qingyun, many secret guards heard it and the group entered combat status.

Soon, Xinhai came back.

"Shaoqing, there are about 30 people over there, all coming towards us. We should have encountered the largest search group. They are very fast, and their horses are the thousand-mile horses commonly seen in Wubang. Although ours are also thousand-mile horses, our two horses have to pull four or five people and a carriage, so they are not as fast as them.

I set some traps in front, I don't know how many people will trip up, but I dare not be too obvious, I set up ordinary hunter traps.

Now they may not have discovered that we are in front of them, but if they find out that the trap was set by an experienced person, they may be able to confirm it. Therefore, the traps I set are relatively stupid and should not be able to hold several people. They can only slow down the speed for a while. "

Xin Hai looked at Gu Qingyun and waited for him to speak. Gu Qingyun thought for a while and said, "We may not be able to deal with these 30 people. After all, we don't know how strong they are. Everyone must be careful of the arrows they shoot. The Wubang people are very good at using poison, and we may be hit by them if we are not careful."

During the time when he went to Xinhai to explore, Gu Qingyun also had a brainstorming session. There were no small villages or tribes nearby where he could hide. The nearest one was Nanzhou, but his current location was neither far nor close to Nanzhou. However, this area was full of trees. If he hid well, he might be able to escape.

"There's a dense forest ahead. Let's go in first and spread out to hide for a while. If we're lucky, we can shake them off."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyun pointed at the forest and quickly divided the convoy into three teams, and everyone hurried into the forest.

The reason why the Wubang people's nobility and royal family have not made any progress for so many years and still treat the people in the same way, and it is certain that everyone in the neighboring countries has retreated a little bit towards them, is all because of their warmongering.

Gu Qingyun's move was also extremely risky. The Wubang people could adapt to wars in almost all terrains. No one could escape from the brutal Wubang people unless they were too careless.

In order to protect this huge clue, Gu Qingyun chose to ride in the same carriage with Princess Cesi and Madam Rong.

Madam Rong was still the same, with no sign of joy or anger. Even when she was running away, she felt like a puppet without emotions.

It's good to be like this, but everyone is worried that she will suddenly lose control of her emotions and expose everyone.

"Madam Rong, Dayan Dynasty has no ill will towards you, and you don't want to be caught by A Lianmi again. You should know what will happen to you if such a pervert catches you again. So please be quiet, just like you are now."

Gu Qingyun spoke half in a threatening and half reasonable way.

Madam Rong still didn't react at all, but Gu Qingyun didn't pay any attention to her.

Everyone was hiding in scattered places. Fortunately, the carriage was not one of those luxuriously decorated ones. It was gray. In addition, it was already evening, so if you didn't look closely, you couldn't really see it.

The carriages were hidden in different places, and the people were some distance away from them.

Everyone held their breath and looked outside.

Not long after, a group of tall and strong soldiers riding on tall horses rushed over.

The leading soldier was chattering something, probably in Ubang language, and the soldiers behind him scattered in all directions, looking for traces.

You can't see it from the outside, but you can vaguely see the wheel tracks.

This is a country that needs trade, so it is not surprising that there are ruts on this road.

There was no carriage to be seen outside, and no soldiers came in. The leader cursed and continued to move forward.

At this moment, a horse from some carriage suddenly neighed.

The leader noticed it and said, "There are people in the forest, get in quickly!"
