The Lu family members were all shocked and instantly stopped their discussion.
“Why is there a car following us? Was it a robbery halfway, or was it for Yu?” Lu Erbai looked outside worriedly.
Before he could stick his head out, the bodyguard called him back. “Don’t stick your head out. I’ll hurry up and see if they’re coming for us or just coincidentally following us.”
“Alright.” The Lu family members immediately clung to the carriage wall and did not dare to move.
The two escorts were good at driving, but because of the uneven road and the fact that there were many people in the car, they were afraid of overturning, so they were inevitably restrained. No matter how fast they drove, there was a limit.
Zhao Xi, who was behind them, saw that they had increased their speed and immediately became anxious.
If they continued forward, they would encounter the exiled troops.
Meng Yunzheng also frowned and sat directly on the shaft of the carriage. He took Zhao Xi’s reins and said, “Drive.”
He was more skilled than Zhao Xi, and since there were only two of them, it didn’t take long for them to shorten the distance between them and the mule carriage.
However, this way, the escorts in front confirmed that their target was their group.
The bodyguard riding the horse said with a serious expression, “You guys continue forward. I’ll go to the back to find out their purpose.”
Lu Erbai hurriedly said, “Be careful.”
The bodyguard turned his horse around and galloped toward Meng Yunzheng.
When he got closer, he pulled the reins and was about to cup his fists at them to speak.
Unexpectedly, before he could even raise his fist, Meng Yunzheng had already skillfully passed him on the narrow road and continued to catch up with the Lu family.
The bodyguard was speechless.
There was no need to talk about martial ethics.
He quickly rode his horse and chased after the carriage. The carriage was now very close to the mule carriage.
Zhao Xi couldn’t hold it in any longer and shouted, “May I ask if the person in front is Uncle Lu?”
His voice was really loud. The escorts chasing behind him heard it, and the Lu family members in front also vaguely heard it.
Lu Erbai frowned. “Why does it sound like the other party has no ill intentions?”
The old lady hesitated. “But why are they chasing after us in the wilderness?”
Daya was a little braver. She peeked through the gap in the curtains and saw the two people sitting in the carriage at a close distance. She widened her eyes and gasped. She shouted at the escort, “Stop, stop the carriage.”
“Daya, what are you doing?” The old lady frowned.
Daya hurriedly said, “Grandmother, yes, it’s Young Master Meng and the others. Young Master Meng and Doctor Zhao are in the carriage behind.”
When the Lu family heard this, they were all shocked and quickly called for the car to stop.
The bodyguard let out a sigh, and the car finally stopped. The Lu family did not even bother to get out of the car and stuck their heads out to look behind them. Indeed, they saw two familiar faces.
Meng Yunzheng also pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped. The two of them jumped out of the carriage and walked to the mule carriage.
Only then did the Lu family members come out one after another. After the nervous and exciting escape just now, whether it was the escort or the Lu family members, they were all drenched in sweat.
At this moment, the Lu family members exhaled in unison.
Meng Yunzheng watched them get out of the car, and his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch. Well, one, two, three, four, five, six, old and young, there was not a single one missing.
He took a few steps forward and asked in surprise, “Uncle Lu, why are you guys here?”
