C34

The carriage continued to roll forward. Two guards on horseback stood guard at the front and back of the carriage as they passed through a bamboo forest. The road was muddy and the rain was still falling.

The four guards and Coachman s driving the carriage were all wearing straw raincoats and wide bamboo hats.

After we pass through the bamboo forest, we will reach the Liantang Town after we circle around another mountain. The Wong Wai replied.

"Alright, then I'll listen to Little Brother Wang's arrangement." The butler said.

The Wong Wai nodded and shouted to the other three: "Brothers, stay steady, we will be able to rest after walking for a while more."

The butler closed the curtains and leaned back into the car.

"Butler, we've already left for six days. How much longer do we need to get to the capital?" The Ling Family servant, Shi Duner, who had been following them all the way from the Tan Yang asked.

"Soon. We will arrive at the capital in about four days." The butler replied.

"Ah?" Four more days. " Shi Duner's face fell.

"Damn brat, is he that patient? and the rest have not said anything, but you are just sitting in the carriage and complaining? " The butler said.

"Aiyo, how could I dare to complain? It's just that this carriage is very shaky. If I sit here for too long, my waist will be sore and my back will be sore." Shi Duner said.

The butler raised his hand and knocked Shi Duner on the head, "I don't even feel pain from my back, you are already so young."

Shi Duner rubbed his head and did not dare to say anymore words of complaint. Accompanying him with a smile, he comforted the butler happily before exhaling a breath of hot air and rubbing his hands.

The horse carriage gradually passed through the bamboo forest and entered mountain road.

Before entering the mountain road, Shi Duner opened the curtains and looked outside, then shouted in surprise: "Butler, there's another official road over there!"

Hearing that, the butler leaned out and looked as well. He discovered that there was indeed a wider official road coming from the west.

The Wong Wai outside explained to them: "Over there is the road to Shengzhou, if you head west past another small city, you will reach the border. This official road is one of the official road s that are heading towards the capital. It's raining right now, so if it's sunny, they should be able to meet the people from there. "

"So that is the border pass. Wang Ge, can we meet Marshal Yuwen from here?" Shi Duner shouted excitedly.

Wong Wai and the other three guards started laughing out loud. Wong Wai said, "Shi Duner, you still want to see Marshal Yuwen?"

"If only I could become a soldier under the Marshal Yuwen. It would be good if I could even meet him once." Shi Duner said with longing.

"Yo, so ambitious!" Wong Wai and the rest started laughing loudly once again.

The butler felt embarrassed, and raised his hand to knock Shi Duner out of his wits.

Fortunately, Shi Duner didn't tell him that his destination was Yuwen Clan in advance, otherwise, he would have gone to the sky.

"Shut up and sit still, don't disturb Wong Wai and the rest."

Shi Duner still wanted to say something, but the Wong Wai and the rest had changed the topic, "We will be entering the mountain road right in front. Brothers, keep your spirits up. Old Sixth, you need to be more steady on your hands. "

When the taciturn Coachman heard this, he replied, "Understood."

The carriage slowly entered the mountain road, just as Wong Wai had said, it was even more difficult to leave this place. It was either potholes or mud, and there was even severe water in the potholes, making it hard to judge its depth. The mud was too soft, and some of it might sink in.

Coachman's eyes were focused on the road ahead, carefully driving the carriage, the two guards in front were also probing, reminding them of the big potholes.

"There is a hill ahead of us. Old Sixth, come down later." Wong Wai said.

Coachman nodded.

After walking for a while, they reached the uphill slope. Fortunately, there were no potholes or mud on the way up, so Old Sixth jumped off the carriage.

Seeing that the carriage had already reached the top of the hill, Wong Wai, who was in front, suddenly felt a different aura, his eyes were sharp as he looked around the road, discovering some traces that were difficult to detect, he immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Be careful, something is not right!"

Butler opened the curtain: "What happened?"

"Uncle Li, sit in the carriage. Don't come out." Wong Wai's face turned serious.

"Hehe, you do have some eyes, but you can actually see through the trick behind it!" A sinister laughter suddenly came out from the trees on both sides of mountain road. More than ten bandits with sabers appeared out of nowhere.

The moment these bandits appeared, the atmosphere immediately changed. The four guards immediately drew out their weapons.

"Crap, I never thought that I would meet a bandit after leaving Tan Yang for so long." Within the carriage, the butler's face was ghastly pale.
