Chapter 20: The Strongman
Fang Xile looked at the map and asked, "Then what is the danger along the way?"
"There is definitely a danger. On the way, you will encounter strongmen who block the road and rob them, but most of them will give some money as long as they are rich, so as to avoid disasters. Zheng An smiled again and said, "It's okay, we will protect Miss, just sit in the carriage." ”
Fang Xile glanced at Zheng An with a smile and did not speak.
If she wants to stay in the Fang family, she must do something along the way, at least she can't hide in the carriage to be protected, but if she leaves the Fang family, it doesn't matter if she performs well or badly.
It's this Zheng An, which is quite interesting.
"What's the name of this mountain up ahead?"
"Miss Hui, it's called Luo Fengpo. ”
"Luofengpo, I'm afraid there is an ambush here. ”
"Why does Miss say that, I have inquired, there are no strongmen here"
"Because the phoenix pangtong died here. ”
Fang Xile replied with a smile, sure that Zheng An would definitely not understand, and there was no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this world.
As soon as the words fell, a team of men and horses came out and blocked the road ahead.
Fang Xile: "..."
How did she not realize that she still had the potential of a crow's beak before?
"Sure enough, there was an ambush," Zheng An glanced at Fang Xile in surprise: "How did Miss know?"
I said I was joking, do you believe me?
Zheng An didn't panic too much, he had been on the business road for more than 20 years, and he hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, so he called out the guards, calmed everyone, and then shouted: "The heroes in front, we are a caravan on the road, a small business, and please raise your noble hands." ”
Then let a coachman come and give them thirty taels of silver.
There are more than 20 strongmen on the opposite side, led by a fierce man, called Xiong Wu, and the person who follows closely behind him on the left is short and has a lewd appearance with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, called Xiong Wen. The third child is a man of five big and three thick, who is almost two meters tall when he stands up, and his name is Xiong Zhuang.
They are strong in martial arts, and ordinary caravans are not in the eye. The locals say that there are bears here, and they are talking about the three of them.
Xiong Wu opened the package and saw the fifty taels of silver inside, his face became gloomy: "We have more than 20 brothers, so we will give thirty taels of silver, who do you look down on!"
Jia Zuo said indignantly: "Captain, why don't we kill them directly, although there are many of them, only two leaders are acquired martial artists, we don't have to be afraid." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" reprimanded Jiayou.
Zheng An shook his head: "There are still many strong people in front, we have to preserve our strength, and we can fight the best." As he spoke, he added another thirty taels and asked the coachman to give them to the strongman.
"Second brother, sixty taels, how about it, do you want to stop?"
Xiong Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, there is a woman in the caravan opposite. Most of them are accompanying the warriors to entertain and relieve their boredom, should we bring her over as well and let the brothers have fun?"
Xiong Wu felt that it made sense and shouted, "Leave that woman behind, and we'll let her go!"
Zheng An's face instantly darkened, even if they asked for more silver taels, they could discuss it, but Miss Fang definitely couldn't hand it over.
No matter whether the head of the Fang family likes her or not, he always has to maintain his face, and the dignified lady was snatched away by a strong man, so where to put the Fang family's face, he can't please him when he goes back.
Fang Xile can die, but he can't be robbed by a strongman and lose face for the Fang family.
"Everyone, fight!" Zheng An made up his mind, and his face became serious: "I'll take the lead in a while, plus left and right to follow behind, pony pressing the formation, Miss, you stay here first." ”
"Big brother, it's not good, they rushed over!"
Xiong Wu shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, let's go!"
The three acquired martial artists took the lead and greeted them.
Zheng An took the lead, holding the boss's brass ring broadsword, and the two of them took two steps back at the same time, both of them were six layers the day after tomorrow, and they were evenly matched.
The two brothers of the left and right surrounded Qiang Laosan, flexibly circled, and gave him a sword from time to time, but Qiang Laosan had rough skin and thick flesh, and he had to fight for a while.
The rest of the strongmen rushed to the carriage, and the coachmen drew their swords to meet them, and the coachmen who often walked in the wilderness did not have any fists and feet, and had not killed the strongmen.
Fang Xile was not good at riding horses, and at this moment, she was afraid that the horse would be frightened, so she simply jumped off the horse and slashed at the strongest man closest to her, and immediately splashed blood.
There was no time to wipe it, Fang Xile avoided a knife with a short body, and fought with another strongman, after practicing martial arts for so long, the first time he used it was a life-and-death fight, it was inevitable that he was a little nervous.
But after all, Xiuwei is much higher than these strong people, and he gradually relaxes, almost one by one.
Xiong Wu gritted his teeth: "Are you crazy?"
Generally, the traveling merchants, even if they are guarded by warriors, will choose to calm down, and there are many emergencies in the wild, and if they are injured, the probability of death will be very high.
Zheng An said with a cold face: "It's you who are crazy, you dare to beat our young lady's idea!"
Xiong Wu's eyes widened instantly, Miss?
Speaking of which, this is also strange Fang Xile, she thinks those long-sleeved dresses are troublesome, and directly wraps a few samurai clothes, who will wear a samurai costume when she goes out, even if she wears it, she wears the kind of samurai uniform with embroidery and exquisite workmanship with a skirt.
"Wait, this is a misunderstanding!"
Xiong Wu shouted, and the subordinates he had finally recruited were killed one by one like cutting melons, and their hearts were about to drip blood.
Zheng An sneered: "Now it's too late to misunderstand!"
Xiong Wu's face was hideous: "Brothers, fight with them!"
Xiong Wen saw it in his eyes, he was anxious, he met a hard stubble, and suddenly, he saw Fang Xile in the convoy, and suddenly had a plan.
As long as you catch the young lady, you are not afraid that they will not be obedient.
"Look at the knife!"
Xiong Wen screamed and pounced on him.
The horse gourd hurriedly rolled on the spot to avoid it, but who knew that Xiong Wenxuan shook his knife, turned around and ran in the direction of Fang Xile.
"Miss Fang, be careful!" Ma Hulu was startled, shouting while chasing.
Fang Xile stood still, watching the strongman approach, Ma Hulu's heart was in his throat, was Miss Fang stupid, she didn't even know how to dodge.
At that moment, a bright light flashed.
Ma Hulu's mouth opened wide, what did he see?
One sword!
Xiong Wen was even more confused, he was still rushing forward, and suddenly found that the angle of view was wirelessly raised, and there was a headless body lying on the ground below.
That body is so familiar, Xiong Wen finally flashed a doubt in his mind, and then fell into endless darkness.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Ma Hulu ran up to the front and asked breathlessly.
Fang Xile shook his head, very satisfied with the power of the knife he had just made.
Fast as a meteor, fleeting
The first layer of the Meteor Knife, Meteor Flash, has finally been practiced!
