A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 130 The Scholar's Dilemma

Once a human escort dies, there will be a lot of troubles in the future. Not to mention the claims of his family members, once a human escort is in trouble, it will also have a great impact on the reputation of Yuanshun Escort.

Duan Rong's quick response to the situation was seen by everyone, even the always arrogant Liu Ao couldn't help but look at Duan Rong.

Sun Huang looked solemn, looked at everyone, and said: "No rest tonight! Everyone hurry up and eat, we will set off immediately after dinner!"

As soon as Sun Huang finished speaking, the sound of slurping soup was heard in the dilapidated temple. After the meal, the escorts did not even wash the bowls, but only wiped them with rags, and then piled them in the pot.

Lu Feng put the cooking utensils back into the net bag under the escort car!

The escorts brought the horses back from outside the temple gate, mounted the escort car, and pulled it out!

Then everyone, holding torches, rushed along the official road at night!

It was already dawn. After running all night, the torches in their hands had burned out. In the vast morning light, they could see the city wall of Sheqi County from afar, dark as a crouching beast.

Just as everyone felt relieved, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind them, as fast as thunder, faintly audible. In the hazy morning light, a team of light cavalry, like a black dot, quickly chased after them!

The escort team brought the escort cart, and the horses had been running all night, and were already exhausted. Obviously, they could not outrun the light cavalry behind them!

Sun Huang immediately reined in his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! Form a formation!"

The escort team immediately stopped upon hearing the sound. The porters Tang Dejin and Ren Tiewa jumped off their horses, untied the horses of the escort cart, and tied them to a tree on the side of the road to prevent the horses from being frightened and pulling the goods into the wild!

Then, the two of them pulled out the crossbow from the escort car, took Li Yuliang, hid behind the escort car, lowered their bodies, and put their fingers on the trigger of the crossbow!

And the escort masters reined in their horses and drew their swords, surrounded the escort car, and waited for battle!

The team of light cavalry behind them was approaching quickly, and the chaotic sound of horse hooves was as dense as drum beats, becoming more and more pleasant and clear...

The team of light cavalry, about ten people, riding horses in strong clothes, raised a cloud of flying dust on the official road with the sound of horse hooves!

After a few breaths, they had already rushed over!

The leader, who was about thirty years old, had a gloomy face and a thin face. He stopped his horse at a distance of ten feet. A pair of hawk-like eyes swept over the people in the escort team, and then stared at Li Yuliang's face hiding behind the escort car!

When Li Yuliang saw the person coming, his originally fair face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt.

The man suddenly stopped his horse and shouted: "Li Yuliang, you got someone pregnant and you want to walk away? How can such a cheap thing happen in the world? You are a scholar! If you have any shame, just come out!"

Li Yuliang was so angry that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in, but seeing the other party's posture, how could he dare to go out?

Hong Yan didn't really expect that these few words could provoke Li Yuliang to come out. In fact, half of what he said was meant for the people of Yuanshun Escort Agency.

This Hong Yan is the head of the guards of the Wang family in Qingchuan County!

This Qingchuan County is a neighboring county of Xiangu County, and the Wang family in Qingchuan County is also one of the major forces in the county.

The head of the Wang family, before the age of 30, although he married several wives and concubines, he had no children. Seeing that he was about to turn 40, he finally got a son and always regarded him as a treasure.

When he was eight years old, he invited a teacher at home to teach him some knowledge of literature and calligraphy.

The person invited was Li Yuliang in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuliang often appeared in the mansion, and after a while, he hooked up with the concubine of the master of the Wang family.

He also made the concubine pregnant.

The master of the Wang family was old, and he often had symptoms of dizziness and qi deficiency in the past six months. The doctor suggested that he stop having sex and take care of it for a year.

He hadn't touched the concubine for most of the year, but she suddenly became pregnant. How could the master not be angry?

He immediately hung her up and whipped her with a whip to torture her!

But the woman was quite affectionate and refused to spit out Li Yuliang's name!

It was Li Yuliang who heard some rumors and was frightened. She left without saying goodbye and fled in a hurry, which exposed herself!

Although Li Yuliang fled in a hurry, he also had some calculations. He did not directly find an escort agency in Qingchuan County to escort him. After all, the Wang family was very popular in Qingchuan County and often had contacts with major forces!

He first rode a fast horse and fled to Xiangu County. In Xiangu County, he asked Yuanshun Escort Agency to escort him to Ruyang Prefecture to seek refuge with his aunt.

His aunt's family had some power in the world, and they loved him since he was a child. As long as he escaped, they would be able to protect him!

The head of the Wang family asked Hong Yan to lead people to intercept and kill Li Yuliang. The order given to him was that Li Yuliang must not be allowed to escape back to his aunt.

When Hong Yan led people to Xiangu County, the escort team escorting Li Yuliang had already set off!

Although this Yuanshun Escort Agency was opened in Xiangu County, it radiated to the surrounding major prefectures and counties, and opened up several dangerous escort routes. The business was indeed not small.

Hong Yan didn't want to confront the Yuanshun Escort Agency head-on, so he hired a killer to ambush in the ruined temple that the escort team had to pass through, hoping to take the opportunity to assassinate Li Yuliang, and the matter would be over.

But, unexpectedly, the killer failed! He had to show up and discuss the matter with the people of the Yuanshun Escort Agency to see if there was any room for maneuver.

Hong Yan sat on the horse, looking at Sun Huang, his face solemn, and clasped his fists and said: "Are you Sun Huang, the escort of the Yuanshun Escort Agency?"

Sun Huang did not answer him, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

Hong Yan said: "Qingchuan County, the leader of the Wang family guards, Hong Yan!"

Sun Huang said: "Chief Hong, you have mobilized so many troops, what do you want to do?"

Hong Yan pointed at Li Yuliang who was hiding behind the escort car behind the escorts and said: "This boy has done something immoral in my Wang family. Please, Chief Sun, please be kind and let me take him back!"

"Okay!" Sun Huang said in a deep voice.

There is no mistake in the content of the first issue of the book!

This sentence can scare Li Yuliang behind him so much that his heart beats wildly and he almost peed...

"Give it to me!" Sun Huang suddenly stretched out his hand to Hong Yan.

"What?" Hong Yan frowned and looked at Sun Huang in confusion.

Sun Huang said: "The arrest warrant!"

Hong Yan was furious when he heard this. Sun Huang was teasing him. He said coldly: "No!"

"You want to take someone from my Yuanshun Escort Agency without the arrest warrant! Chief Hong, do you think I, Sun, am too easy to talk to!"

"I treat you with courtesy. Why do you have to be so aggressive, Chief Sun?"

"I treat you with courtesy. Did you arrange the assassination in the ruined temple last night?" Sun Huang said with anger, his eyes were red.

Hong Yan was stunned by what Sun Huang said. His eyes moved and he retorted: "This boy is so immoral! You also escort such a person? Don't you do background checks when you take people to escort at Yuanshun Escort Agency?"

"Whether our Yuanshun Escort Agency does background checks or not is not your concern!"

"Then there is no way to calm down?"

"You are still talking about your mother!" Sun Huang cursed. You have come to kill me, and you are still pretending to treat me with courtesy!

Hong Yan was furious, his face fierce, he pulled out a spear from his back, and while on his horse, he suddenly jumped up, like an eagle striking the sky, and swung the spear in his hand, and pointed it at Sun Huang...
