Chapter 294 On the way to Xiqi
At the same time, Shen Shaodong from the Fuxi County Lord's Mansion, along with the unconscious Shen Li and a group of accompanying personnel, has been traveling on this long journey for more than two months.
The team was quite large. The captain of the guards, Luo Feng, led twenty agile guards who were always alert to the surrounding movements. Their eyes were sharp and they would not miss any potential danger.
The ten-man team led by secret guard Zhao Lin acted stealthily, like a cheetah hiding in the dark, silently guarding the safety of the team.
Chu Qiu commanded six maids and servants, who were busy taking care of the unconscious Shen Li and making her journey as comfortable as possible.
Su Ran led a dozen people including doctors and guards, each of whom performed their duties and was ready to deal with various emergencies at any time.
Shen Li was placed in a specially designed carriage. This carriage was specially designed by Shen Shaodong. The interior space was particularly large and specially installed with shock absorbers. It was covered with thick quilts, and there were seats and a low couch installed. There were also large boxes at the bottom of each end to store some of Shen Li's daily necessities. Although the carriage was comfortable, the journey was not easy.
Soon after they left the capital, they were hit by a rainstorm.
The muddy road became slippery, and the horses' hooves and wheels sank deeply into it, greatly slowing down the forward movement. The drivers had to steer the carriages carefully, fearing that they would fall into the mud pit if they were not careful.
Seeing this, Shen Shaodong immediately ordered the team to stop temporarily and asked the guards to dismount and help push the carts. Everyone worked together and took great effort to get the convoy through the muddy section of the road.
However, this is just the beginning of a difficult journey.
As the team gradually went deeper into the mountains, the road became increasingly rugged and narrow. On one side was a steep mountain wall, and on the other side was a deep valley. If you were not careful, you could fall into the abyss.
Shen Shaodong always reminds everyone to stay vigilant and slow down.
When we reached an area with dense forests, we suddenly heard a loud sound of horse hooves and shouts from all directions.
Suddenly, a group of bandits rushed out from the forest and surrounded the convoy.
These bandits all had ferocious faces, held sharp knives in their hands, and shouted at the convoy to hand over their property.
Luo Feng immediately led the guards to form a defensive formation, protecting the carriage tightly in the middle.
He shouted loudly: "Protect the county lady's carriage and never let these bandits succeed!" The guards responded in unison, holding their weapons tightly and staring at the bandits with firm eyes.
Secret guard Zhao Lin and his team hid quietly in the dark, looking for the bandits' weaknesses, ready to deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Seeing the convoy's tight defenses, the bandits launched an attack, brandishing their weapons and rushing frantically towards the guards.
Luo Feng led the charge, facing the bandits at the front, brandishing his sword and instantly engaging them in combat. The other guards also fought fiercely with the bandits without flinching.
The maids and old women were so frightened that they hid in the carriage, trembling.
Chu Qiu kept a sharp eye on the situation outside the car, hugged the unconscious Shen Li tightly, and tried to give her some comfort.
Su Ran brought doctors and prepared medicines and bandages beside the carriage, ready to treat the injured guards at any time.
In the fierce battle, Luo Feng showed his superb martial arts. His swordsmanship was sharp and he defeated the enemy with every move. Soon, several bandits fell under his sword. However, the number of bandits was large and the guards gradually became exhausted.
Zhao Lin led the secret guards to launch a surprise attack from behind the bandits. They appeared like ghosts and attacked the bandits unexpectedly, causing the bandits to lose their composure.
Luo Feng seized the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Everyone stay calm, don't panic, fight back!" The guards were encouraged and cheered up again. They cooperated with the secret guards and launched a fierce counterattack against the bandits.
After a fierce battle, the bandits were finally driven back. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, they fled back to the mountains and forests.
The convoy also suffered some losses, and several guards were injured.
Su Ran immediately brought doctors to bandage the wounds of the injured guards. Fortunately, the injuries were not too serious.
Shen Shaodong looked at the tired people and the injured guards, his heart filled with heartache and guilt.
He said: "Everyone has worked hard. This time, thanks to you all, let's find a safe place to rest, adjust ourselves and continue on."
Everyone nodded, and under the leadership of Shen Shaodong, the team continued on a journey full of unknowns and difficulties.
They know that they may encounter more difficulties and challenges in the future, but they are not afraid because they are a united, strong and brave group. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they will overcome them together, protect Shen Li and complete this important journey.
