2024-08-04 Chapter 33: Trouble Entering the City
After entering the city, the yamen runners of Beihuang City randomly placed them in an idle and dilapidated courtyard.
"You will live here from now on. Don't forget to go to work at 1:05 a.m. tomorrow!"
"But there's not even a gate here."
Cheng Qiuluo said this with a frown.
"Why, do you dislike it?"
The captain of the yamen runners' team, Wang Erniu, rolled his eyes and grumbled in a sarcastic tone.
"The City Lord's Mansion has a good environment and is spacious. How about you stay there?"
"You're already a fugitive, and you still think of yourself as a rich lady?"
"Everyone lives like this, are you the only one special?!"
When Wang Erniu saw the carriage being pulled by Cheng Feng and the others, his eyes widened instantly.
"We're going to take these two carriages away!"
"no!"
The Cheng family members said in unison.
Seeing this, An Luo looked worried.
She had not thought things through before and had taken things too simply. After all, Zizi was exiled here, and those two carriages were indeed too eye-catching.
Oh no, will it cause trouble for the Cheng family?
"A fugitive is worthy of such a luxurious carriage?"
Wang Erniu walked forward and stretched out his hand to push Cheng Feng away.
Cheng Feng didn't get any orders from the master, and was afraid of causing trouble for the old lady, so he could only stand aside, glaring at him, clenching his fists and enduring it.
Looking at the four tall and agile white horses, Wang Erniu was thinking in his mind.
Lord Chen has always loved horses. If we present these four horses to him, we will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits!
Maybe I could find a new person in charge, and I could go to sleep after hitting the clock every day, or have a drink of wine. Then my life would be wonderful!
Whoever wants to do the dirty and tiring work of resettling fugitives and daily patrols can do it!
Wang Erniu was immersed in his sweet dream when he was suddenly kicked several times in the calf.
I subconsciously dodged to the side, and as luck would have it, I tripped over a stone that was buried in the soil with a section exposed.
He dived headfirst into horse manure and fell flat on his face.
Yu An: "???"
The little guy opened his mouth and looked down at his own little feet in disbelief.
When did he become so powerful?
And An Luo outside the screen retracted his finger, hiding his merit and fame.
After being surprised, Yu An clenched his fists tightly. Although they were small, the little guy puffed out his chest and tried hard to make himself look imposing and not at all stage-frightened.
Her big eyes were wide open and her little tufts of hair stood up in anger.
"You bad fellow, don't take my carriage!"
This was given to him by the fairy sister!
No one can take it away!
"Yuan, come back soon!"
When did this child run over there?
The Cheng family was frightened by his action.
Wang Erniu raised his head from the horse manure and retched several times.
He got up, suppressed his nausea, and raised his hand to wipe his face.
Thinking of how he had just been ambushed by the little kid who was just above his knees and how he had lost face in front of his subordinates and younger brothers, Wang Erniu raised the whip in his hand viciously.
"You dare to kick me? You're looking for death, little kid!"
However, the next moment, the four horses suddenly neighed and raised their front legs high.
The two horses closest to him suddenly broke free from the reins and kicked Wang Erniu out.
"ah--"
Wang Erniu flew several meters away, face down, and fell heavily to the ground.
Not to mention the Cheng family, even An Luo was stunned. She did not expect this to happen.
After carefully reading the mall's introduction, she realized that in the carriages produced by the mall, the horses would automatically recognize the cub as their master.
Perhaps he felt the uneasiness of Zizi, and Wang Erniu intended to hurt Zizi, so he suddenly went crazy.
Wang Erniu grimaced in pain and lay on the ground for a long time before he recovered.
He raised his bloody face and shouted at the yamen runners in the yard.
"What are you looking at, the snake demon? Come over here and help me!"
While shouting, he could vaguely see a few white objects with blood streaks coming out of his mouth.
Looking closely, he saw that what was lying on the ground was his big buck tooth.
"Beat them! Beat them, beat them!"
Two yamen runners hurried over to help him stand up again, and the remaining yamen runners surrounded the Cheng family and the carriage.
The four horses went crazy again and rushed towards the yamen runners.
Several yamen runners were quickly scattered and fled away, hiding far away.
Anlu even quietly reached out and tripped those people a few times.
I'll let you rob the carriage, and I'll make you lose your teeth!
Soon, another group of yamen runners came. When they came in, Wang Erniu and his gang were being chased by horses and were running away.
Leading the group was a man in armor, estimated to be around thirty years old.
"Master Chen, you have to be a rat, catch it!"
Wang Erniu rushed over as if he had seen reinforcements.
Seeing his miserable look, Chen Ying frowned, took a step back, pulled the hem of his clothes out of his hand, and asked in a deep voice.
"What happened?"
"It's her!"
Wang Erniu pointed at Yu An who was hugging his great-grandmother's thigh.
"It's her. She's the one who committed the crime!"
Yu An's face turned red and he stamped his feet in anger.
"You're talking nonsense! It was you who wanted to steal my carriage!"
"That's enough!"
Chen Ying showed impatience.
"You want to snatch the children's things, but you can't win? You really bring shame to me!"
"Go and accept the punishment yourself!"
After saying that, he looked at the Cheng family again.
"Madam Cheng, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
Old Madam Cheng showed a hint of reminiscence on her face and nodded.
"It's been a long time indeed."
Chen Ying snorted coldly.
"I thought that Madam Cheng was a forgetful lady and had forgotten me a long time ago."
"But over the years, I have never dared to forget the great kindness that the Cheng family has shown to my Chen family!"
Madam Cheng looked normal and said nothing more.
Chen Ying looked at them deeply, then waved at the yamen runners.
"Take both carriages to the City Lord's Mansion!"
After saying that, he threw his cloak heavily, turned around and strode out of the yard.
Tian Qin gently comforted Yu An, who was angry and aggrieved.
After those people left, Mrs. Meng looked at Mrs. Cheng worriedly.
"Mother-in-law."
Old Madam Cheng clapped her hands and shook her head.
"Let's clean up the house first."
After saying that, she took Yu An, whose eyes were red, into the house.
It doesn't matter, it will always come back.
At night, An Luo comforted the little guy for a long time. It was not until late at night when Yu An fell asleep that she closed the storybook at hand, washed up and went to bed.
Hazily, she came to an ancient scene again, looking at the tents and the soldiers patrolling back and forth.
"Looks like a military camp?"
A few hundred meters away, two horses walked towards the military camp in the night.
On horseback, Cheng Shengxuan, who was wearing a plain robe, suddenly tightened the reins.
"Oh—"
"Major General?"
Cheng Yao looked at him worriedly.
"But the injury has recurred? Otherwise, I will go alone."
Cheng Shengxuan covered his chest and coughed twice, his face becoming paler.
He shook his head.
"fine."
"I must go there myself so that the soldiers can rest assured!"
