Chapter 284 Being targeted
"Hey...someone come!
Stop, stop the car quickly!"
Qi Tiezui covered his mouth and retched twice, then he opened the curtain of the sedan chair, patted his chest, bent over and vomited.
Adjutant Zhang, who was riding in front, heard the noise and pulled the reins back, "Master Ba, what happened?"
"I...I can't..."
Qi Tiezui waved his hands with a look of discomfort, and walked back, "Second Master, sister-in-law...if you keep going like this, I'm going to vomit all my breakfast."
Chu Ning caught Qi Tiezui and rubbed the acupoints on Qi Tiezui's hands to relieve his dizziness.
Qi Tiezui saw that Chu Ning followed him out, so he turned around and pushed Chu Ning into the sedan chair.
Chu Ning was pushed and looked confused, "Eighth Master?"
"Go in, go in, go in. It's so cold outside! You just feel better and want to lie down in bed again, right?"
“Not that squeamish.
And no matter how you look at it now, you look worse."
Qi Tiezui was amused by what Chu Ning said, and thought that this kid was really fine and had even started arguing with him.
Seeing that Chu Ning was wearing her scarf properly, he took her to Yin Xinyue's sedan and stopped.
Er Yuehong rode up to the group of people on horseback.
"Sister Yue, let's borrow a carriage from Lord Beile. This sedan is too slow."
Chu Ning made a suggestion and received strong support from Qi Tiezui.
Yin Xinyue nodded.
Er Yuehong glanced at the long team from his horse and said, "This team is too eye-catching."
"Then we'll go by ourselves, and these people will stay in the city."
"Okay! I'll do it!"
Qi Tiezui responded immediately. He was really scared of being shaken by the sedan chair.
The group headed again towards the address given by the prince yesterday.
Zhang Qishan was lying flat in the carriage, and was in a coma again.
"Don't worry, Master Buddha will wake up."
Chu Ning looked at Zhang Qishan who was sleeping and spoke softly.
Yin Xinyue frowned and nodded, but there was still a worried expression on her face.
Chu Ning pursed his lips, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end he lowered his head.
The carriage stopped at this time. Chu Ning and Yin Xinyue lifted the curtain and saw Qi Tiezui holding a compass in his hand and muttering something.
"Although the direction is auspicious, the inauspicious direction is still inauspicious, so the auspicious direction can also turn into inauspicious direction. It's very strange."
When Adjutant Zhang heard what Qi Tiezui said, a serious expression appeared on his face.
“I’ll go first with Master Buddha.
You and the Second Master can stay here and find a place to stay first."
"Is there something wrong?"
Adjutant Zhang was very serious, "Didn't Lord Beile say that there is a life-or-death line near the Zhang family's ancestral home?
I can’t let you take any risks.”
Qi Tiezui knew Adjutant Zhang's character, and seeing how much he cared, he did not refuse, "Okay, let's go a little further and see if there are any villages.
We and the Second Master will be waiting for you there."
Zhang Qishan in the carriage took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes.
The voice attracted everyone's attention and they saw that Zhang Qishan's vision was out of focus and he just kept his eyes open. Yin Xinyue called out to him twice but Zhang Qishan didn't respond.
"I'm afraid that the Buddha has sensed the Zhang family's old house, so he reacted. It seems that we have come to the right place."
Qi Tiezui speculated.
"Then let's go quickly."
Er Yuehong, who was riding a horse, stopped him. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were dark and unrecognizable.
"Given Mr. Buddha's scheming, he should have already deployed spies."
Adjutant Zhang nodded, agreeing with Er Yuehong's words, "Yes, this is indeed the Zhang family's style of doing things. Let's go and check it out."
Er Yuehong looked at Chu Ning. Chu Ning did not express any opinion at this moment. He just sat there quietly, but Er Yuehong tightened his grip on the reins again and again.
The group arrived at a village and Adjutant Zhang stopped the carriage.
"This village doesn't look very big, and according to the Buddha's routine, he would usually arrange the spies in the way of 'medicine and miscellaneous'.
I'll go to the pharmacy to find out first."
Adjutant Zhang got off the carriage and was about to walk forward when a hand reached out from the carriage and grabbed Adjutant Zhang's arm.
"Be careful of the people playing chess over there. They looked over here as soon as we approached the village entrance."
Chu Ning's voice came from behind the curtain, sounding muffled. Adjutant Zhang patted Chu Ning's hand, indicating that he understood.
Yin Xinyue in the car patted Chu Ning's shoulder gently. Chu Ning curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Yin Xinyue, but Yin Xinyue felt heartbroken no matter how she looked at this smile.
Qi Tiezui held the reins and scratched his head. Under normal circumstances, Chu Ning would have followed Adjutant Zhang no matter what, but today he did not go with him.
Qi Tiezui nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the child had finally grown up and could control his "curiosity", which made him feel very relieved.
Er Yuehong on the horse watched everything in silence.
【Taihe Medical Clinic (Taihe Medical Clinic)】
"Hello sir, what herbs do you need?"
The drugstore owner greeted Adjutant Zhang.
"The wood is the pillar, the water is the river."
"...I didn't hear clearly what you needed, sir..."
The owner of the drugstore was stunned, and Adjutant Zhang immediately added, "Nothing, give me a bag of licorice."
"Hey, good."
【Xiangtai Grocery (Xiangtai Grocery)】
"You walk slowly."
Adjutant Zhang walked out with a disappointed look on his face. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked towards the carriage.
However, there were two fewer people watching the chess game at the entrance of the teahouse.
People passing by would stop to watch when they saw people playing chess, then leave after watching for a while. This was a very normal phenomenon and would not attract anyone's attention.
“Since there is no one available, let’s go and find out for ourselves.
Why don't we find a farmhouse to stay in first? The inn is too conspicuous."
Yin Xinyue discussed with a few people.
"This village is a bit weird. Villagers don't even say hello when they meet each other."
Adjutant Zhang talked about the things he had observed that were wrong.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly."
Qi Tiezui spoke immediately and returned the reins of the carriage to Adjutant Zhang.
The carriage entered the village from the entrance, then turned a corner and went straight out of the village. Soon, there were a few more horsemen behind the carriage.
Er Yuehong pinched the horse's belly and knocked on the car window to remind the people inside and outside the car.
"Someone is following."
Qi Tiezui glanced back secretly, then immediately turned around and sat up straight, "What should I do?"
"There is a life and death line outside the Zhang family's old house. If these people are coming for the Zhang family, they will not dare to approach casually. Let's speed up and go to the old house!"
Adjutant Zhang spoke quickly while driving the carriage.
Qi Tiezui looked at Er Yuehong for help. Seeing that Er Yuehong did not question him, he spoke aggrievedly.
"Me, Second Master, and Xiao Ning, we are not members of the Zhang family, can we go in?"
What answered Qi Tiezui was the sound of a whip and the sudden acceleration of the carriage. Qi Tiezui took a mouthful of wind and dust raised by horse hooves.
