Chapter 128: Ambush
Xie Wenyuan also followed at some point, holding dry food and water in his hand, he approached me, and before the word "Gong ......" could be spoken, I made a silent gesture to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xie Wenyuan closed his mouth in amusement, and his eyes followed me vigilantly staring ahead.
Before we could make the next move, we heard a scream of "Ah!" from the official road.
Xie Wenyuan and I subconsciously looked back......
Xu'er and the guards, who were resting on the side of the official road, were surrounded by a group of people who appeared out of nowhere.
Thinking that she had encountered a robber, she was so frightened that she reflexively screamed.
The guards hurriedly got up, drew their swords with a "brush", and became vigilant.
Xie Wenyuan and I were too, and before we could react, we were also surrounded by the same group of people, all holding big knives in their hands, looking fierce and vicious.
I stood still, my hand unconsciously touching the jade flute on my waist, but I was not in a hurry to move.
I thought that Xie Wenyuan, a scholar, would panic when he encountered such a scene, but I didn't expect someone to be calm and calmly shouted coldly: "Who is coming, don't report your name quickly!"
He drank this, made me speechless for a while, this should be the people who surrounded us, this should be said, now we are meeting robbers, his tone is still full of justice, the confidence is not weak at all, I really doubt that he is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers or a weak look is pretending.
"Hahaha......"
Before the person arrives, the sound comes first.
There was a burst of hearty laughter, and then the people around us made a gap, and a large bearded man strode with a large knife nearly a man high.
"Boy, what a big breath!"
Xie Wenyuan was stunned by the momentum of the comer, and his body suddenly softened, completely losing the confidence he had just now.
I shook my head with a smile, Xie Wenyuan, Xie Wenyuan, aren't you quite capable?
Seeing that we didn't answer, the bearded man raised his eyebrows unhappily, and the crisp sound of the big knife on his shoulder fell in front of us, and a wrist-thick branch under the knife was instantly cut into two pieces, and the thin ash was everywhere.
If the big knife goes a few points further, it will not be a branch that has been split into two parts, it will be either me or Xie Wenyuan.
To be honest, I was unsuspectingly frightened, and Xie Wenyuan was even more pale.
"Say, who are you, where did you come from, and where are you going?" asked the bearded man, who took it with one hand, raised one foot and stepped on the back of the knife.
Xie Wenyuan was just about to speak, but I pulled him, for fear that this pedantic showman would say something righteous and awe-inspiring and annoy the other party.
I pulled Xie Wenyuan back a few steps and replied with a sneer: "My husband and wife are here to fight Fengdu, because of the changes in the family, the family is in the middle of the road, and they owe debts, and they are going to take their family to Yuncheng to join their relatives." ”
The beard glanced us up and down, half-believing my words, and only after a while did he raise his eyebrows: "You are husband and wife?"
Xie Wenyuan heard the word husband and wife in his beard, his face turned red, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment.
I glanced at Xie Wenyuan, and secretly reached out to pull him closer to me, and the two of them were almost next to each other.
"Yes, my husband is honest and a little shy, no, he blushed after only two sentences. ”
The bearded man stared at us for a long time with an "interesting" gaze, not knowing whether he believed me or not, but listened to his command: "Send them to me." ”
He said that he was escorted to Su'er and them. Immediately someone came up to us. Xie Wenyuan wanted to struggle, so I leaned into his ear and whispered, "Calm down first and see what they are going to do." ”
When Xie Wenyuan heard this, he nodded lightly, and obediently let them go to their side.
Xie Wenyuan and I were rudely pushed into their encirclement.
Su'er hurriedly supported me and whispered timidly: "Princess, we seem to have encountered bandits, what should we do?"
"Now start seeing my lady, don't call me princess, remember?"
Su'er looked at me, nodded knowingly, and immediately changed her name, "Madam." ”
I nodded, and whispered to the guards around us, "Don't act rashly, everyone, and see." ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but the sword in their hands didn't dare to let go.
"Boss, these people don't look like ordinary people. One of the subordinates beside the bearded man said.
The bearded broadsword was on his shoulder again, and he nodded in agreement.
"Tell me, who are you?" said the bearded man.
"We are ordinary businessmen who go to our relatives. "I'll come on.
"Fart!" the bearded man shouted rudely, and added, "Ordinary merchants still have retinues with swords with them, bluffing grandpa and me!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I heard that there are often heroes from all walks of life in the Yuncheng area, and the villain and his wife are timid, so I hired some followers to keep them safe." ”
I knew that my words were too far-fetched, and he naturally wouldn't believe them, saying this was just to deal with him and buy time for the guards to find a breakthrough.
These people picked by the imperial brother are all masters of the Great Interior, and they are all masters who can fight a hundred enemies with one enemy, and the bandits' manpower is only twice that of us, but it is better to be careful in everything, and it is better not to do anything if you can get past it.
"Nonsense! Hurry up and hand over the valuable things, spare you from death, or ......" The big knife on his shoulder with his beard moved, ready to attack.
"Then don't talk nonsense!" My jade flute also turned from my waist to my hand, and my eyes were cold, it was easy to ask for my things, provided that I had to talk about it first.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Su'er kept tugging at my sleeve.
The bearded man shouted, and then at the order, his men raised their swords and attacked us.
Ouchi's guards are not vegetarians, they looked up to the sky and roared, and the long sword in his hand had already been shot, and the figure flashed quickly, and the tip of the sword was stained with blood.
The beard never moved, just stood aside and watched the battle, and in the blink of an eye, most of his men had already broken in half, and their faces changed.
The big knife on his shoulder moved again, and I was a little vigilant, thinking that he was about to make a move, staring at him, the jade flute in his hand clenched, ready to fight at any time.
Unexpectedly, the bearded man did not decide to enter the war, but shouted: "Let's withdraw!"
Then the people who participated in the battle scattered in all directions like a tide that suddenly rose and fell, and fled in the wilderness.
The guards wanted to chase them out, but as if they had prepared in advance, countless fast horses appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant they were gone in the dust.
"Stop chasing!" I stopped the guards, staring in the direction of the bandits' escape, confused.
