Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 285: Enemy Ambush

Everyone got down the mountain smoothly and the sky gradually darkened.

If we continue to climb the hill ahead, it will probably be completely dark, and we won't be able to see anything clearly, making it easy for us to fall into an enemy ambush.

This Ge Lai A Du is such a treacherous villain. He let the Ran family come to his house for exchange under the pretext of wanting them to come, but actually killed them halfway. He is so despicable and shameless.

After a while, the lackeys returned the same way they came.

After hearing this, Xia Liang said to everyone, "They are hiding in the woods on both sides of the road. There are about fifty of them, and everyone is armed with a bow and arrow."

When Ran heard this, she realized that Ge Lai Adu really didn't want to let her go, including her son.

She didn't carry any token with her, so Adu might let her live, but others would be implicated because of her.

For the first time, Ran felt ashamed of his selfishness.

Qin Bingrui asked Zhu Jinyou: "Mr. Zhu, what tactics are you going to use?"

"Song Si can lead Feiying and the others over there."

When Qin Bingrui heard this, she was like, wow, four people are taking on more than fifty people, so she wants to join in the fun too.

Zhu Jinyou saw what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, you can ask your lackeys to help divert some of the enemies, which will make it much easier to deal with them."

Qin Bingrui gave a thumbs-up and praised, "You are indeed the brave and resourceful Prince Ning. I'll be back soon. Please help protect the ladies."

Ran felt guilty and said she wanted to go with them.

Luo Yufu took Ran's hand and shook his head, saying, "Madam, there's no need to feel guilty. Promising you was a decision made by all of us and has nothing to do with you."

Several people gathered together and lit a campfire. The remaining dozen or so big wolves surrounded them, very quietly.

Luo Yu stared at the sparks as they burned little by little, the sparks shot into the air, exploded, and disappeared...

Not far away on the mountainside, the sound of fighting could be heard...

In this dynasty, there are all kinds of risks at all times, such as power struggles, fighting, assassinations, conspiracies, and open plots.

Seeing Luo Yu staring at the flames in a trance, Zhu Jinyou asked her, "Miss Luo Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Yu raised his head and looked at the handsome face whose outlines were clearer in the firelight. He was really good-looking. He was born in wealth and possessed authority and wealth that no one could enjoy in several lifetimes. But now, he was struggling with them.

"I was wondering, if Master is no longer alive, what will Qin Bingrui and I do?"

"Eunuch Yao will be here soon, you don't need to worry about having nowhere to go."

Luo Yu lowered his head and smiled. This guy is really irritating.

"That eunuch may not take me back to Beijing. What if he wants to kill me?" After all, they had taken Baihu's life.

"Then I will do my best to ensure your safe return to Beijing."

"Thank you!" A trace of desolation appeared on Luo Yu's lips.

It’s not that what he said made her feel cold, but that she didn’t know how to change this dynasty, and she became more and more confused.

If death could solve the problem, she could just walk away. But she was stuck in an endless cycle, unable to die, and it was suffocating.

Will I be able to find a time and space chassis and completely get rid of this damn superpower?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhu Jinyou thought she was afraid to return to Beijing.

"If Miss Luo Yu doesn't want to return to the capital, it's no big deal. I can help you."

"How is Mr. Zhu going to help me?"

"You will be my concubine."

Luo Yu hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but when Xia Liang heard it, he was more excited than anyone else.

"Even if my sister marries a lackey, no, a lackey has winter warmth. Even if my sister marries a wolf, she will never be your concubine."

Luo Yu chuckled: "Don't compare yourself to a wolf. A wolf only has one mate in its lifetime. We humans are not worthy of that."

She didn't care, but this sentence was obviously a mockery of him. Zhu Jinyou's mouth curled up slightly. She and the girl Luo Yu in his dream were not separated. She must have used some method to enter his dream.

Xia Liang calmed down and asked Luo Yu: "Sister, if your master really passed away, where would you go after you found your master's relics?"

"Let's go back to Beijing!"

"Then I will go back to the capital with my sister."

Yan Xuan was very excited when he heard it.

"Xia Cao, I'll take you to meet my parents and my grandparents, but my father and brother are both in the northwest, so you might not be able to see them for a while."

Zhu Jinyou sneered: "Yan Xuan, do you think your father, as a general who assists the country, will agree to you marrying a country girl?"

Yan Xuan was stunned.

"I'll try my best to convince my parents."

Xia Liang smiled and leaned on Yan Xuan's shoulder: "I will also help you convince your father and your mother and make them look at me with new eyes."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Xia Cao can tame all wild animals. This alone makes her no ordinary country girl. She has her own unique shining points. Although she doesn't have the power of her family, her own strength is infinite."

Xia Liang pouted and said, "Sister Luo Yu understands me the best. However, marriages between families will make them stronger, and this is an eternal fact. So, Yan Xuan, if your family doesn't accept me, it doesn't matter to me. I will travel around the world with Sister Luo Yu and the others."

Yan Xuan got anxious when he heard this: "Didn't you say you would only be with me for the rest of your life?"

"But I don't want to be trapped in the backyard of a deep house for the rest of my life. I want to explore the sea of stars and understand the vast universe. I also want to be a woman like Sister Luo Yu."

Luo Yu smiled lightly.

"If we are lucky enough to survive, let's learn about every corner of this world!"

Zhu Jinyou just noticed that the look in Luo Yu's eyes was vast and boundless, like the starry sky and the ocean, endless.

After Luo Yu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhu Jinyou and said, "What about you, Master Zhu? What are your plans? Being a prince is worry-free. You've experienced the infinite splendor of life since birth. Your thoughts should be completely different from those of us, right?"

It was the first time Zhu Jinyou heard someone ask him what his plans were. What plans could a member of the royal family have? Naturally, he just had to manage his own fiefdom well and not overstep his bounds.

"For me, it's naturally an ordinary day of returning to the prince."

"Then marry a virtuous, beautiful girl with a powerful family as your princess, take in countless charming and lovely concubines, and give birth to a multitude of children to inherit your title and wealth."

"Miss Luo Yu has made very good plans for me."

"Isn't this just the norm for you powerful families?"

Xia Liang leaned on Yan Xuan's shoulder and murmured, "Xuan Xuan, will you take many concubines in the future? Will you dislike me for not being gentle and pretty enough? When I'm old, will you dislike me for being old and ugly?"

Yan Xuan swore to the sky: "I definitely won't, in my life I only like..."

Xia Liang covered his mouth.

"Don't swear blindly. The more you swear, the easier it is to change your heart."

……

The sound of fighting halfway up the mountain suddenly stopped.

Luo Yu stood up, facing the boundless sky, and said calmly: "Let's go. We can attack the Miao village at night."

Ran said goodbye to them. She had already sent someone back to ask her guards to ambush here, waiting for Miss Luo Yu and others to bring back her son.

This is a mother's greatest wish.
