The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 111 Heading to Lizhou

"Brother, why are you begging them for anything? Although they are powerful, we are not pushovers. Brothers, listen to me. Let's go together and kill them." The second brother said viciously with a ferocious smile on his face. As he finished speaking, he whistled twice again.

After hearing the two whistles, the originally quiet valley suddenly became lively. A group of people rushed out from the exit of the valley and surrounded everyone. It turned out that they had set an ambush here!

Seeing this scene, Su Lun's heart tightened and she cried out, "I was careless!" She didn't expect these people to be so cunning and hold back. However, it was too late to regret now. She looked at the people around her, and each of them held their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

"Old Second, stop, we can't do this!" The leading man shouted anxiously, "Brothers, don't follow Old Second in doing this." He knew that if a fight really broke out, the consequences would be disastrous. They were not real bandits, so how could they do such a thing to kill people for money?

Besides, these people had just shown them a favor. Moreover, judging from the brief fight just now, the strength of these people should not be underestimated. Even if they have the advantage in numbers, it will not be easy to defeat them. Thinking of this, the leading man hurriedly stopped the second brother from making trouble.

However, these people only had silver and food in their eyes at this time, and they didn't care about other things at all. When the second brother gave an order, most people followed him and rushed forward without hesitation.

Su Lun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he thought to himself: Since you are so greedy, I don't have to worry about whether I will hurt you. So, he became extremely fierce and no longer had any mercy.

Su Lun and his men were agile and well coordinated. They easily defeated this mob. Before long, they were knocked to the ground, groaning in pain. This time, their injuries were much more serious than before. Especially the second brother, who not only had his tendons severed by Qing Yang's sword, but also injured his leg in the melee. It is estimated that from now on, he will never be able to do evil again.

The leading man watched everything that happened before his eyes, closed his eyes helplessly, his lips trembling slightly, but in the end he did not beg for mercy. He knew that he could not save the situation, so he could only accept this fact silently.

"You will suffer for your own actions." Su Lun glanced at the people on the ground indifferently, then turned around and led a few people to get on the carriage. It was not because he was kind and didn't want to care about it, but because the mission was urgent and it was not appropriate to cause any more trouble.

In the carriage, Su Lun silently treated Wang Shen's wound. Although Wang Shen said that the wound was not serious, when he lifted his sleeve, he found that the wound was quite deep. In addition to the previous battle, Wang Shen's arm was covered with blood.

Guo Guo's face turned pale with fear: "Brother Shen, are you hurt? Those people are so bad, why did Brother Su let them go?"

Wang Shen forced a smile and pretended to be relaxed while comforting Guo Guo: "I'm fine, Guo Guo, don't worry. These people have learned their lesson, and we have more important things to do!"

Guo Guo nodded ignorantly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and carefully glanced at Wang Shen's wound, and asked distressedly: "How do you feel now? Is it still painful?"

Wang Shen shook his head gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Guoguo, this little injury is nothing and will heal soon."

These were not words of comfort. Before in the Song Mansion, Madam Song often punished and beat him for no reason, and he was almost constantly injured. This minor injury was really nothing to him.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry. It was my carelessness that caused you to get hurt. This is a magical medicine from the general's mansion. It's very effective, but it will be a little painful and itchy. Please bear with it." Su Lun looked at Wang Shen with guilt, then took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and handed it to him.

Wang Shen took the medicine, smiled and shook his head: "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. This is human nature. Fortunately, we have no other losses. I have thick skin and this injury is really nothing." After saying that, he poured the medicine on the wound.

This medicine really worked wonders. The wound stopped bleeding quickly, and even the stinging sensation was reduced a lot. But after a while, the wound became extremely itchy and he wanted to scratch it with his hands. Wang Shen endured the pain and itch without saying a word.

Seeing this, Su Lun couldn't help but frown, feeling uncomfortable. He pursed his lips tightly. He had used this medicine many times before, and he was familiar with the sour feeling after using it. He understood that Wang Shen was doing this to comfort himself.

Today's incident was indeed handled improperly by myself. I overestimated my own strength, failed to discover the ambush, and underestimated the greed of human nature.

Thinking of this, Su Lun felt regretful. He secretly told himself that he must be more cautious in the future and not let similar things happen again.

At the same time, after what happened today, Su Lun also realized that the current situation of the State of Chu might be worse than he had imagined.

This place is not far from the capital, yet there are still people who are so bold and presumptuous that they dare to commit murder for money in broad daylight!

Moreover, those people said that they had never seen the relief food. It seemed that the officials of Chu were not very honest. However, these did not have much to do with him. The most urgent thing was to continue to move towards the capital according to the original plan. In order to complete the task assigned by Master Chen Xuan, their route was not a straight line. The place they needed to rush to now was Lizhou. The eldest son of the Yuan family in Lizhou had a close relationship with Master Chen Xuan. The Yuan family was also a prominent family in Chu. If they could get their support, it would be great.

"Brother Wang, after arriving in Lizhou, you and Qingyang can take Guoguo to rest in the inn. Jiajun and I will go to the Yuan Mansion to visit Young Master Yuan." Su Lun paused and said.

Wang Shen nodded seriously and said firmly, "I understand, Brother Su, please rest assured." After that, he added, "You should also pay attention to safety. If you need any help, you can contact us at any time."

After a long period of running around, everyone was already exhausted. At this moment, everyone leaned against the wall of the car silently, closed their eyes, and began to rest.

Time passed by, and around the hour of Chou, the carriage finally arrived at Lizhou City. Considering that it was already late and everyone was very tired, Su Lun decided to rest here for the night and visit Yuan Mansion tomorrow morning. After all, acting at night might cause unnecessary trouble.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. However, Guoguo suddenly had a nightmare. He kept crying in his sleep, muttering, "No, no..." Hearing Guoguo's cry, Su Lun immediately opened his eyes, walked to the bedside, held his hand tightly, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." At the same time, he gently stroked Guoguo's shoulder, hoping to calm him down.

Looking at the child who looked like Uncle Lin, Su Lun's heart was filled with endless pity. He sighed secretly, hoping that this trip would go smoothly without any accidents.
