Chapter 258 There is an ambush
"Ouch~~"
"Awooo~~"
The howl of the white wolf echoed across the wilderness.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little nervous.
Jiang Xiaobai said there were people in the woods.
Wolves can smell scents from two kilometers away and hear sounds from ten kilometers away.
Chirp said that there were many people lying in ambush in the woods around the camp, more than twice as many as they were.
Moreover, they followed us from the moment they left Jiangzhou.
I've been following them all the way.
The assassins never found an opportunity to strike.
They followed from a distance, keeping a great distance, for fear of being discovered.
They had thought it would just be the Lu family and their caravan, but they were surprised to find that there were quite a few more people.
Those strong and muscular guards didn't look like ordinary housekeepers.
Their walking movements are very similar, without any obvious characteristics, as if they have undergone professional training.
They were the most skilled assassins, having received a considerable sum of money from their employer to take the lives of that mother and her three children.
This was the most money they had ever received since they became assassins; it was enough for them to live on for most of their lives.
After this job, they planned to retire from their criminal activities, since there were still beautiful women and fine wine waiting for them.
Therefore, this assassination attempt must succeed; failure is not an option.
We absolutely cannot allow that mother and her three children to appear in the capital.
It's not just about killing.
We also need to find their account books and notes and burn them.
Murder is no problem, it's a piece of cake.
You can look for account books and notes, but the employer didn't say what they were, only that he didn't care what they were, and to destroy them all.
This is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
They had no choice but to split into two groups: one to search Lu Garden in Jiangzhou, and the other to follow the convoy and seize the opportunity to strike.
If Lu Garden cannot be found, then burn it down.
Paper is most vulnerable to fire; no matter what kind of accounts they are, they will eventually turn into ashes.
Now we're just waiting for their people to join us.
Wait until it's dark and stormy before making your move.
But darkness fell very, very slowly, and they were very, very hungry.
Their companions, however, never caught up.
That's because they couldn't wait any longer. The group of assassins who were planning to burn down Lu Garden were already being whipped and eating prison food.
They waited and waited, but their companions never came.
They felt uneasy, but dared not act rashly.
He could only take out the steamed buns and cold bread from his pocket and chew them slowly.
Chew slowly and thoroughly; chewing too quickly makes digestion difficult.
I would get bitten by mosquitoes every now and then, but I still couldn't move.
In April and May, the weather starts to get hot, and mosquitoes appear.
In the desolate wilderness, the mosquitoes were large and poisonous.
As they chewed, a rich aroma of meat wafted into their nostrils, whetting their appetites.
Suddenly, a wave of sorrow washed over me.
Watch as that group of people set up tents, lit a bonfire, cooked delicious food, and then feasted on it in the grassland.
And yet they're here feeding the mosquitoes.
I was actually a little envious of those guards.
If one day they don't have to live on the edge of a knife and can be guards openly and honestly, that would be great.
Even if those people are lambs to the slaughter, they are still happy lambs.
While the assassins envied the lambs, they were unaware that they themselves were the lambs about to be slaughtered.
……
Jiang Miaomiao took a short nap in the carriage.
Smelling the aroma of roasted meat, he slid off the carriage and ran towards his mother, who was standing by the campfire, with his short little legs.
The grass was quite tall, reaching above her waist, and she could only see a small figure moving about in the grass.
Xi'er and two guards followed closely behind.
"Sister, there's an ambush in the woods."
Xiuxiu jumped onto the roof of the car and looked towards the woods.
Logically, birds should be returning to their nests at this time of year.
However, the birds hovered outside the forest, not daring to enter, only doing so when they sensed danger.
Animals have the strongest sensory abilities.
Therefore, Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu immediately became alert when they heard the white wolf howl like that.
Previously, when someone repeatedly sneaked into Lu Garden, White Wolf made this kind of noise.
They always manage to catch them red-handed.
Strangely, those thieves only wanted to feed the little white wolf chicken legs.
Xiao Miaomiao suspected several times that they wanted to steal the wolf.
This group had followed them all the way without making a move, but they approached tonight.
Could it be tonight?
Lu Qingyao carried her little girl back to the carriage, placed her in Xi'er's arms, and instructed, "Don't run around, stay in the carriage."
After saying that, he drew his red-tasseled spear and jumped off the carriage.
Jiang Zifeng followed behind his mother with his sword, looking very majestic.
Jiang Miaomiao saw her older brother's profile through the fluttering carriage curtain; he was smiling.
Why does it seem like my older brother is actually a little excited?
Jiang Miaomiao remembered the time when she first met her mother, and that terrible dream.
In my dream, my brothers came from the capital and were attacked in a vast, snow-covered valley.
No one survived.
That night, it snowed heavily all night.
The bodies and bloodstains of her mother and brothers were gradually buried.
Until the whole world was covered in silver, leaving no trace.
The little girl shivered.
She was afraid, terrified that the scene in her dream would repeat itself.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ziyan wasn't good at fighting, so instead of causing trouble, he consciously came over to take care of his younger sister.
I was surprised to see my younger sister with tears in her eyes.
She thought her younger sister was frightened, so she patted her little head and comforted her, "Miaomiao, don't be afraid. Your brother is here and will protect you."
"Second brother, I had a dream."
Little Miaomiao raised her little face; she suddenly wanted to confide in someone.
"Tell your second brother what dream Miaomiao had." Jiang Ziyan hugged the little girl and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
“I dreamt that when you came from the capital, you were ambushed in a vast snowfield…you died, all of you were gone…”
Jiang Miaomiao told her second brother about her dream in detail.
She wanted her second brother to interpret her dream.
Jiang Ziyan stood frozen in place, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, the chill penetrating to his bones.
Did they die such a tragic death in my dream?
No, it is not.
This……
This is not a dream.
The place, scene, and details described in my sister's dream were exactly the same as what had actually happened.
This is something that actually happened.
The only difference is that they are all still alive.
His thoughts were drawn back to three years ago, when they had not long left the capital and had brought a wet nurse, a coachman, and guards with them.
While passing through a snow-covered mountain range, they were suddenly attacked, and a large group of bandits emerged.
The villains were numerous and powerful, and every strike they delivered was fatal.
The servant died protecting them, and the mother was also seriously injured.
In the end, it was the howling of wolves that echoed through the valley that scared the group away; otherwise, they would have faced the same fate.
Jiang Ziyan hugged his sister tightly, tears streaming down his face. "It's alright, it's alright. Your brothers are all fine, and Mother is fine too. We're all by your side."
Perhaps, the younger sister's dream is their past life.
Just as the sister said, they had all died, which is why they were reborn.
The same robbery and murder occurred again, and this time they were all still alive.
This is God giving them another chance.
He can personally kill his enemy.
