Chapter 1208： Looking for the person in the picture

"Who are you?" Lu Chen muttered softly as he looked at the woman in the picture.

He has a feeling that as long as he finds the person in the painting, he can relieve the doubt in his heart. Perhaps this woman is waiting for him in the Imperial Capital.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about it, there was a noisy sound of chariots and horses from Guan Daozhi, and a few rude screams came from time to time, and the sound got closer and closer.

Lu Chen put away the picture scroll, he slowly stood up, raised his head and stared at the official road.

Following his gaze, he saw dust and sand rolling not far ahead. A team of horses and wagons were advancing presumptuously on the official road. Lu Chen walked to the side of the road and saw the situation of the team clearly.

The leader is a big one-eyed man with bare arms, riding a strong black horse, his face is full of flesh, and he looks very vicious.

Behind this one-eyed man, followed by more than 30 people, all of them looked fierce, and sometimes laughed and cursed echoing on the official road.

"Bandits, how dare you swagger and move on the official road?" Lu Chen secretly said inwardly.

Just as he was about to retreat aside, his eyes suddenly lit up. As the bandits approached, he immediately saw clearly that there was a golden jade curtain carriage among these people.

This carriage is very particular about casting. It is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the roof needs to be inlaid with a pearl the size of a goose egg. It is so luxurious and elegant that it seems a little out of place with this pair of horse thieves.

"The carved carriage in this style should belong to the royal family, and there are still bloodstains left in front of the carriage..." Lu Chen was secretly shocked, and at the same time, his figure also retreated to the side.

These bandits and bandits dared to move forward on the official road. Lu Chen thought they were just not afraid of the imperial power, but now that he looked at him, they really underestimated the horse thieves. They even dared to rob the royal carriage, fearing that all of them were. Desperadoes.

As the horse team approached the official road, the dust was rampant, and Lu Chen took two steps back again. He didn't want to provoke these people.

"Where's the kid, dare to be your way to Master Ma!" A loud shout came, followed by a whistling sound in the air.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, and saw the one-eyed man who was headed by him. He didn't know when there was an extra whip in his hand, and he was suddenly waving at him at this moment.

The power of this whip was so powerful that it was actually rubbing a sonic boom in the air, like an ordinary person hitting a whip, it is estimated that at least it is dead or injured.

Seeing that long whip was about to fall on Lu Chen's face, he saw that Lu Chen's figure looked like he was retreating in a panic. He happened to stumble on a raised rock and accidentally escaped it. The power of whip.

"Yeah!" The bandit leader grabbed the rigid rope in his hand and stopped in front of Lu Chen, looking at him with a fierce light in his eyes.

"Did off Ma's whip, kid, look at your fine skin and tender flesh, is it possible to practice the family?" The one-eyed man stared at Lu Chen and asked in a loud voice.

Lu Chen stood up, there was no fear in his eyes, but glanced at the bandit leader in front of him.

"I'm a scholar and I want to go to the imperial capital." Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly said.

After the bandit leader looked at Lu Chen for a while, he suddenly laughed. Then he jumped off the horse and walked to Lu Chen's.

"It turned out to be a poor scholar, and there are rules for bandits to rob the scholar, not to rob the scholar."

"But it seems that Mr. has nothing else, and the journey to the imperial capital is far away, otherwise, how about going to Ma Ye's cottage for a few days." The one-eyed man laughed, and then winked at the two men behind him.

The two of them also knew immediately, and quickly stepped forward, without waiting for Lu Chen to say anything, they just picked it up and brought it to the carriage in the middle of the horse team.

"Scholar, you are also blessed. This is the royal carriage. If you didn't meet us, you poor scholar, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to sit in this life."

The two laughed and treated Lu Chen very politely. After turning his direction, he opened the curtain of the carriage to signal him to enter.

Lu Chen chuckled, not saying anything more at this time, leaning on the side of the cart and getting into this unique carriage.

He just sat firmly in the carriage, only to hear a fist wind coming towards him, Lu Chen subconsciously raised his hand, actually blocking the sudden punch easily.

"You bandits, do you know who this girl is? If you dare to rob this girl's carriage, you are tired of living." There was a woman sitting in the carriage, staring at Lu Chen angrily at this time. .

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and realized it instantly. He raised his head and glanced at the woman in front of him, and could vaguely perceive the color of fear hidden in her eyes.

"I was also arrested by them, not a bandit, but a poor scholar." Lu Chen said softly with a smile on his face.

When the woman heard this, she took a closer look at Lu Chen, and then she relaxed a little and shrank into the corner of the carriage, but the vigilance in her eyes remained undiminished.

"My name is Lu Chen, what's my name?" Lu Chen asked with a faint smile, looking at the woman in front of him.

The woman still didn't dare to speak out, it seemed that there was still a shadow in her heart about the experience of being robbed just now, and she was reluctant to believe the strange young man in front of her.

Seeing that the woman was reluctant to speak, Lu Chen was too lazy to ask. He took care of it aside, and sometimes raised the driving curtain to look at the scenery outside the car window.

"You... why aren't you afraid?" After a long time, the woman spoke slowly.

After all, the two of them felt pity for each other after all, and one more person was arrested to accompany her, and she didn't feel so scared at this time.

"The so-called pirates are also good. Lu is just a poor scholar. They should let me go in a few days. What's there to be afraid of." Lu Chen always had a faint smile on his face, responding to the woman's words.

Since ancient times, the bandits have not robbed the scholar, and besides, there is nothing valuable on him. Although these thieves are fierce, they should not hurt his life.

Upon hearing this, the woman couldn't help showing a look of horror again, and she cried and said: "This is dead. My family is a wealthy family. These bandits, who are wealthy, will not let me go easily."

"I'm afraid it will kill me tonight, and then cut off my head and threaten my parents with money in the imperial capital. The poor girl didn't even have to eat a full meal before she died."

The expression on the woman's face became more sad as she talked about it. She couldn't help it anymore, and the tears from the corners of her eyes fell like rain.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but get a headache. This woman didn't know what her identity was, but she didn't look like a member of the royal family, otherwise she wouldn't be so easily robbed by a group of bandits.

"Don't cry. When it gets late, I'll take you away." Lu Chen couldn't help touching his forehead, and said helplessly.
