Chapter 323: The Pursuers Behind You Suddenly Block Your Way
"Drive, drive, drive..."
It was clearly not an official road, but as we walked along, we could hear the sound of hurried horse hooves approaching from far behind us.
Ji Mo was the first to notice something was wrong and looked back.
Li Qifeng, who was driving the carriage, also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly looked at Ji Mo who was driving side by side with him.
"Brother Mo, this is not an official road. There are so many horse hoof sounds. I'm afraid they are coming with bad intentions. Should we avoid them first?"
Ji Mo listened to the sound and determined the location. Unlike Li Qifeng who was flustered, he remained calm. He thought for a while and shook his head.
"It's too late. The enemy is coming very fast and there are many of them. This road is not as wide as the official road, and the carriages and horses can't run fast. There is no good place to hide nearby. Hiding will be bad."
"What should I do? What if..."
"Don't worry, be steady and accurate, don't panic, I'll take care of everything."
Perhaps it was Ji Mo's calmness that reassured Li Qifeng. As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, his wildly beating heart finally calmed down. He was about to speak again, but Ji Mo, who had already waved to signal Black Tornado, Desheng and BMW behind him to take shelter in the woods on both sides of the road, stretched out his hand and handed something to him.
Li Qifeng: "What is this?"
Ji Mo said: "Just in case, this is the antidote for the Ecstasy Incense. Everyone smell it first. If anything happens later, I will use the medicine."
"Okay." Li Qifeng hurriedly took it, but did not use it first. Instead, he handed it to the person in the car behind him.
Because they were fleeing, Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo had already agreed to take turns to rest and be on duty. At this moment, Ji Mo was leading the team outside, so Li Yaoguang was resting in the carriage. She was tired after making a fuss until midnight last night, and she slept as soundly as the three little ones.
Li Yaoguang was awakened by his aunt and heard some unusual movement behind him. He jumped up quickly without resisting his aunt. He quickly sniffed the antidote handed to him, and then nervously opened the window to look behind him. Yu Meixue and others behind him also did the same. After sniffing it themselves, they also sniffed the little ones who were sleeping soundly one by one.
It took so long, but in fact it only took a few tens of seconds and the bottle of antidote was handed out.
When Li Qifeng was smelling the antidote, Li Yaoguang also came out and wanted to respond to the situation with them, but was stopped by Ji Mo.
"Yaoguang, go back and sit down. Don't forget our current identities."
Li Yaoguang paused. Yes, how could she forget that their identity when they were out was a young couple who came to visit the Yue family for a sick visit.
Seeing that his father and brother were confident that he didn't need to cause trouble, Li Yaoguang nodded and reminded them, "Okay, then you guys be careful."
Seeing that the two of them agreed in unison, Li Yaoguang turned back and closed the car door. However, when she sat back next to her aunt, she remained silent and moved the dagger in the space under her butt, ready to strike at lightning speed when anything happened.
Outside, Ji Mo saw that Li Yaoguang was well-behaved and obedient, and he couldn't help but smile. He took the antidote returned by Li Qifeng, smelled it and then put it away. At this time, the sound of horse hooves was approaching, and Ji Mo quickly reminded Li Qifeng, "Calm down, don't panic." Then he drove the horse forward a few steps quickly, acting like the master leading the way.
"Drive, drive..."
It was almost as if Ji Mo was controlling the horse under him to pedal at a constant speed. The hundred riders behind him were right in front of him, and they came from behind and whizzed past like a gust of wind with a huge momentum.
Li Qifeng, who was in a tense state, saw the team going away without stopping, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved and happy to see the group of people running away in the smoke and dust. Suddenly, the leader of the horse team stopped abruptly. Li Qifeng, who noticed something was wrong, breathed a sigh of relief again.
Noticing his disordered breathing, Ji Mo hurriedly whispered, "Keep calm." Li Qifeng was reminded and took a deep breath, but when he saw the team in front turning back, Li Qifeng's breathing was still disordered.
Ji Mo frowned, secretly grasping a large amount of love incense in his hand, and had to prepare for the worst. The leader was already in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The leader pointed his whip at him and spoke in a domineering manner.
"Hey, who are you? What do you do? Have you seen anyone suspicious on the road?"
Ji Mo pulled the reins, and Li Qifeng behind him also stopped the carriage. Then Li Qifeng saw that his brother Mo, who used to remain calm in the face of danger and as steady as an old dog, suddenly changed his expression, looked surprised, and pointed at his nose with his hand.
"Sir, are you asking me a question?"
The other party was a soldier, and he looked down on pretty boys like Ji Mo. Seeing that he was asking questions knowing the answer, he rolled his eyes and was very annoyed.
"Isn't this nonsense? You are the only ones left on this road besides me. I am not talking to you, am I talking to a ghost?"
Ji Mo showed a look of fear after being bullied by an official, and bowed his hands honestly: "Yes, yes, yes, sir, I am right, sir, just tell me what you want me to do."
The other party smiled coldly, "Oh, you coward, listen to me carefully, answer the question I asked you just now honestly."
Ji Mo hummed, very honestly, and reached into his pocket, "Yes, yes, I will answer honestly. To answer your question, I am returning to my wife's house with my family to visit my father-in-law. Please take a look at my household registration pass. In the car behind me are my wife and servants. As for the suspicious person? I didn't see any of them along the way."
"You really didn't see it?" The other party obviously didn't believe it and looked Ji Mo up and down with a pair of sharp eyes.
Ji Mo had a fearful and timid look on his face, but he was calm in his heart. He said honestly: "Yes, yes, I dare not deceive you, sir. I really didn't see it."
The man snorted and nodded to his subordinates. Then someone came forward and took the household registration pass from Ji Mo's hand.
When it was brought back, the man flipped through it casually, but didn't find anything unusual. He waved his hands impatiently at his subordinates, and the subordinates quickly returned it to him as it was.
Ji Mo honestly reached out to take it back. The malicious guy stared at the carriage behind him and squinted his eyes, "Open the door."
Ji Mo paused as he was collecting the things. A dark light flashed through his eyes. He looked at the other person with an embarrassed expression, "Sir, sir, there are women inside. My wife is young and timid. Please don't..."
"Don't say anything, just open it when I say so!"
The other party was obviously impatient. Seeing Ji Mo still begging for mercy, he was very displeased and shouted, "I am following the order of the emperor to pursue the imperial criminals. Anyone who dares to stop me will be punished with the same crime. What, you little white face want to stop me?"
"I dare not, I dare not..." Ji Mo shrank his neck in fear and gave Li Qifeng a look.
Li Qifeng suppressed his pounding heart and pretended to be timid. He turned back and shouted, "Grandma, please open the door of the carriage. There are soldiers outside who want to check. Don't be afraid, grandma." After he finished speaking, he slowly opened the door of the carriage.
As soon as the door opened, Li Yaoguang sat in the main seat, with Yu Meixue beside him, while Aunt Qiu and Yingchun sat on both sides, protecting the child who was sleeping on the bench behind them.
The leader glanced inside, sweeping over everyone in the car one by one, and finally his sight fell on the three sleeping Yang brothers. The man smiled coldly, turned around and looked at Ji Mo and asked.
"Ha, you two young couples are not very old. If I remember correctly, you are going back to visit your relatives at Yue's house, right? Since you are going back to Yue's house and you are still young, what's going on with these three little brats?"
Yu Meixue and the others in the car were all panicked and subconsciously wanted to move, but were held down by Li Yaoguang. Li Qifeng outside was also beating his heart wildly, but Ji Mo was still calm. He hurriedly repeated the previous excuse for leaving the city and took out two silver ingots to present.
