The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Ding Yi and several other secret guards stayed outside the North Gate of Kyoto until dusk when they saw an ox cart. They slowly walked to the place where Lao Lin was delivering the message. A lean old man with gray hair got out of the cart. , got in the car and drove the cattle away after being conveniently nearby.

A secret guard followed him. Half an hour later, the old man entered a nearby village and was greeted by three children. The old man happily took out the candy he bought for the children from his back basket. The children climbed onto the oxcart, and the grandparents and grandchildren A few entered the yard. The secret guard found a place nearby and stood guard there.

Jixiang and Lao Lin drove the car into the mountain forest. Jixiang suddenly felt a chill in the forest, and he quickly reined in the reins and looked around vigilantly.

When Old Lin saw Jixiang reining in the reins, he became nervous. Suddenly, several arrows shot out from the woods in front. The sharp arrows roared towards Old Lin and Jixiang, causing Old Lin to fall upside down.

Ji Xiang turned sideways and got out of the carriage. When the arrow passed by, it left a blood groove on his arm. It was hidden under the citron of the carriage. He picked up the hand crossbow and shot towards the forest opposite. The man on the tree opposite saw that he had succeeded with one hit and quickly 's escaped. Ji Xiang burrowed under the car and saw that Lao Lin had been shot by an arrow in the throat and chest and had lost his voice.

Jixiang loaded Lao Lin into the carriage, sprinkled gold medicine on his legs, and drove to the village.

Just before midnight, Jixiang rushed to the village, dragged Lao Lin down and put him with the dead people, and then drove the carriage to the gate of Zhuangzi. The door opened from the inside. Jixiang saw Li Yu holding an oil lamp and asked with a smile. : "You've been traveling all the way, are you hungry?"

"It's okay. I ate some dry food and I'm not very hungry yet." Jixiang drove the carriage into the barn.

Li Yu saw Ji Xiang alone and wondered if something had happened?

Jixiang looked at Li Yu and said with shame, "Madam, I was attacked in the woods when I returned, and Lao Lin was shot to death."

"Are you injured anywhere?" Li Yu looked at Ji Xiang worriedly.

Jixiang shook his head, "My arm was grazed by an arrow, and I've already been given the golden medicine."

Li Yu felt relieved and said, "That's good. The food is warm in the pot. Let's go eat something first, wash up, and take a rest first."

"Yes, madam," Ji Xiang agreed and said to Li Yu: "I saw Ding Yi guarding the city gate. Madam, I think those gangsters may have known that you took Liangjia Village, otherwise Lao Lin wouldn't have sent anyone. Come and shoot Lao Lin."

Li Yu didn't expect that the enemy would get the news so quickly. From this point of view, when Lao Lin appeared outside the North City Gate, someone was watching there. How did they know that Lao Lin was caught by him and confessed? Since Chu Sihai has sent people to guard Beicheng, the people sent to Liangjiacun should also have arrived!

Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes! Someone may attack us tonight. You should go and eat and drink first, and have a good rest."

"Hey!" Ji Xiang agreed and entered the kitchen, took out the hot food from the pot and ate it. After eating, I wiped my face casually and lay down undressed in the room next to me.

After thinking about it, Li Yu went to the study again, entered the secret room, took some crossbows and arrows, loaded them into the space, closed the door of the secret room, came out with weapons, and hid in the dark to guard Zhuangzi.

Hu Cheng led a few secret guards to Liangjia Village. It was already midnight, and he entered the village under the cold moonlight.

When he arrived in front of Zhuangzi, he saw dim lights coming out of the courtyard. Hu Cheng asked other secret guards to guard the outside and jumped up on the wall.

As soon as he entered the yard and before he could shout out, he saw Li Yu pointing a crossbow at him.

Hu Cheng quickly raised his hands and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Mrs. Li, I am Hu Cheng, who works for the great shopkeeper Chu Sihai. I am here to listen to your orders under the great shopkeeper Chu Sihai. I have a letter from the great shopkeeper here." As he spoke, he took out the letter from Chu Sihai to Li Yu from his pocket.

Li Yu looked at him and nodded: "Bring it here."

"Yes." Hu Cheng bowed and handed the letter to Li Yu with both hands.

Li Yu took the letter and saw the meaning of Chu Sihai's letter: Mrs. Li, Sihai, under your Majesty's order, has sent people to protect you. The leading team is called Hu Cheng, and they are all at your disposal.

After bringing back the news of being intercepted and killed from Jixiang, Li Yu felt that there was not enough manpower. The people sent by Chu Sihai happened to solve the problem of shortage of manpower.

"Okay, tell those brothers that I will have people prepare food in the kitchen, and you can help yourself. Also, tonight my housekeeper was intercepted and killed in the woods. I think what I discovered here, Those gangsters already know about it. In my opinion, there is no need for us to be secretive anymore. You immediately send people back to Beijing and ask Shopkeeper Chu to report it. Send people to transport the things in the village. If it is too late, I am worried that something will happen. "

Hu Cheng bowed in agreement and blew the bamboo whistle. A secret guard dressed in black jumped into the courtyard. Hu Cheng told him what Li Yu had said. After receiving the order, the secret guard turned around and climbed over the courtyard wall, disappearing into the night. middle.

Hu Cheng said to Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, you can rest peacefully. My brothers and I will protect you outside."

Li Yu had rested during the day and did not feel tired, but for some reason he always felt that he would not be peaceful tonight. After hearing this, he still nodded, "Okay, there is boiling water and steamed buns in the kitchen, you can do as you like."

"Yes. Mrs. Li." Hu Cheng nodded in agreement and retreated.

Li Yu said hello to Ji Xiang, went to the study in the backyard, and lay down on the couch in the study undressed.

Hu Cheng and the secret guards were guarding the dark corners of several walls, hiding quietly there.

Half an hour later, a dozen figures appeared on the road at the entrance of the village. They were all dressed in black and running quickly towards Zhuangzi under the cover of night.

Hu Cheng and the secret guard stood on the wall, quickly raising their crossbows and preparing to shoot.

When these men in black were about to approach Zhuangzi, they suddenly scattered and ran towards the front and rear yards of Zhuangzi. As they ran, they took out torches soaked in kerosene from the leather bags on their backs, preparing to light them and throw them into the house. courtyard.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard, "No, there is an ambush, retreat quickly." Someone shouted.

The man in black was stunned for a moment and then quickly retreated, but he was faster than the arrows. He only heard the sound of arrows swishing through the air. The dense arrows came through the air, and then there was a "Puff, Puff, Puff" sound. muffled sound.

Seeing the men in black outside the front yard falling to the ground one by one, Hu Cheng climbed onto the roof and shot at the men in black from above.

Jixiang also ran towards the backyard with a crossbow in hand and shouted anxiously, "Madam."

"Here, don't panic." Li Yu responded while lying on the roof. He aimed at the man in black who rushed towards the backyard and pulled the trigger of the crossbow. He only heard the sudden sound of the crossbow trigger, and then Several men in black fell in the field. Ji Xiang felt relieved and climbed up to the roof to face the men in black, concentrating on dealing with the incoming men in black.
