Chapter 552: Conditions
Xu Dongjia just wanted to leave quickly, and there were also many people who were different from him, especially those caravan guards who had been experienced for many years.
Seeing that Xu Dongjia was leaving, an elderly guard stood up and persuaded: "Dongjia, you can't go!"
Xu Dongjia stopped, frowned and said puzzledly: "Why don't you go, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as everyone survives, those things outside the body, my Xu family can give up." ”
The older guard shook his head and said with a worried face: "It's not like that, we can't believe the robbers' words, now there are carriages fenced around, as long as they are guarded, it is not easy for the robbers to capture the caravan, but we have to leave the convoy and walk outside without shelter, if the robbers don't keep their promises, then we can only be lambs to be slaughtered, and we can't escape." ”
Hearing the explanation of the older guard, Xu Dongjia hesitated, as the saying goes, the cousin is ruthless, the drama is unjust, and the bandit is ruthless and unjust.
They left the protection of the carriage empty-handed, and if the robbers repented, they would never be the more numerous and stronger robber opponents.
Looking at the surrounding situation again, there is no shelter on three sides, except for the forest on the left, which is surrounded by robbers, and people outside don't want to enter the forest near here.
"Boss, you have to think about it, the dozens of lives of our caravan are all within your thoughts. The older guard continued to persuade him.
"I see. Xu Dongjia snorted and fell into deep thought.
At this time, there was a guard who had already wanted to leave and said: "Boss, Lao Li is right, but now the situation is different, you look at so many robbers around, we are wings and it is difficult to fly, even if there is a layer of protection of the carriage, but in the face of so many robbers, do you think we have a chance to survive in the hands of the robbers if we resist?"
"This ......" Xu Dongjia's heart was shaken again just now, and he felt that what the guard said was right.
Now all the people in their caravan, including the grooms, were only fifty or sixty people, but the robbers around them, just by scanning their eyes, they could feel that at least a few hundred people surrounded the caravan.
The older guard saw Xu Dongjia's hesitation, and sighed in his heart, but still persuaded: "Dongjia, you can't hesitate! At this time, there are only two ways: resistance and obedience, if you obey, if those robbers regret it, none of us can escape." ”
The guard who wanted to leave retorted: "That's not the case, if we resist, no one will want to survive, and if we move those robbers who kill people without blinking, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the end, but if we give up, it will be different, it is very likely that we will all leave safely, and at most we will lose a little property." ”
Xu Dongjia began to waver, and his heart was biased towards persuading the guard who was leaving, no one wanted to die if he lived, but in the face of so many robbers surrounding the caravan, he knew that the result of resistance was only a dead end.
"Otherwise, let's listen to those robbers, give up the caravan's goods and belongings, and leave empty, at least we can save everyone's lives. Xu Dongjia said tentatively.
But everyone knew that since the Xu Dong family said so, even if someone had the right intention, it would be useless, otherwise it would only make the caravan have no chance to leave alive.
The older guard sighed and stopped persuading, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, since the owner had already decided, he had to follow the owner in life or death.
And he knew in his heart that death was the greatest, and so many years of guarding career made him understand that it was better to believe in the words of the robbers than to believe that the sow would go up to the tree.
Xu Dongjia glanced at the guards around him, and saw that no one objected, so he shouted to the robbers outside the car: "We agreed, give up the goods of the caravan and everyone's belongings, leave the caravan empty-handed, and hope that the heroes will talk." ”
The one-eyed leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, my words count, and if I let you leave, I will definitely let you leave." ”
The chest was slapping loudly, but the people on the other side of Xu Dong's house, because the distance was too far and the sky was dark, with such a little firelight, no one could see the murderous intent shining in the eyes of the one-eyed leader.
Watching Xu Dongjia gradually move away with the people, a robber next to the one-eyed leader said, "Big brother, really just let them go like this?"
As soon as the words fell, before the one-eyed leader could speak, another robber on the side said: "Want to leave? Big brother, am I right?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at the One-Eyed Leader.
A faint bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of the one-eyed leader's mouth, and the tip of his tongue licked his lips lightly, "Who are we, are the robbers, can you believe the robbers?"
"Yes, what the eldest brother said is right, we are robbers, since we are robbers, then of course we can't believe our words. The robber next to him chimed in.
The one-eyed leader looked in the direction of the caravan with one eye, "When they leave the caravan, command all the brethren to kill them and leave not one of them behind." ”
"Yes. The two robbers next to him answered at the same time, and then left quickly, probably to convey the order.
Xu Dongjia returned to the carriage he was riding all the way, took a few clothes, and walked out, it can be said that he really left empty-handed.
Basically everyone was the same, wearing the clothes they were wearing, and except for the guards, the rest of them threw away their weapons and lined up to leave.
In the circle formed by the caravan, Yang Dazhu, who was sitting next to the fire, said with a worried face: "What should we do? If you really leave empty-handed like this, I'm afraid those robbers won't let us go so easily." ”
Even Yang Dazhu, a country boy, knew something, but unfortunately Xu Dongjia, a pampered person, still didn't understand, and still believed that the robbers would let their entire caravan go.
"You lost that gun, it's easier to carry a knife with you than a gun. Long Zun said.
Because he knew that it was more convenient for Yang Dazhu to use a spear than with a knife, after all, the knife was shorter and easier to use.
There were dropped weapons all over the ground, Yang Dazhu looked nearby, and found a waist knife that he didn't know who dropped it, and carried it on his body.
Then he walked to the fire and said to Long Zun, "Shouldn't we also leave, those caravan people have already gone outside." ”
"Let's go, just to see what the robbers want to do with the caravan, and when will they do it. Long Zun said, and stood up from the ground.
Although the robbers promised to leave a road for the caravan to leave, the road was not large, and there were robbers on both sides.
"Stop, you put down your weapons, you are not allowed to leave with weapons here. Said a robber standing outside the caravan's carriage.
