Chapter 548: Someone spends money
The guard squeaked and didn't say anything for a long time, but the subordinate who went to find someone next to him said: "Leader Yang has already fled with some people, and I heard that he killed a caravan guard who found him before leaving. ”
"Ah!" Xu Dongjia exclaimed, his body weakened, and the whole person fell to the ground, but fortunately he was dragged in advance by the quick-eyed Xing steward on the side.
Xu Dongjia, who had eased up for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief, so as not to sit on the ground, and said with a pale face: "How could he be like this, how dare he do this, my Xu family didn't give him less silver, he ran away like this, isn't he afraid of being poked in the back?"
Steward Xing on the side said: "Second Young Master, it's not a question of who to blame now, let's think about what to do first! The robbers have arrived at the doorstep, and this is the problem that needs to be solved in time." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to solve the problem of the robbers first, and when we go back, we will solve the matter of his Yang leader. Xu Dongjia turned his head to look at Steward Xing, "Uncle Xing, what do you say we should do?" Now everything in the caravan is up to you. ”
He knows that he doesn't understand, but he is self-aware, and now the only person he can trust is Uncle Xing next to him, after all, he is the manager of their Xu family, and at this time, he also needs someone who understands to stand up.
Steward Xing nodded and said, "Since the second young master can be trusted, then I will arrange it, now let's go and meet the leader of the robbers first, see if we can break the fortune and avoid disasters, and use some gold and silver to buy a way out." ”
"Ah, I'm going to see the robbers!" Xu Dongjia's face turned even paler, thinking that the caravan was full of murderous robbers without blinking, he really didn't have the courage to meet him.
Steward Xing also knew, but he still said: "There are some things that still need the second young master to come up with an idea, so let's go for a trip! Don't worry, let's talk to the robbers within the protection of the caravan, and we don't need to go out." ”
"That'...... Okay!" Xu Dongjia was a little more relieved at this time, and nodded reluctantly in agreement.
"Let's go, let's go to the front first, I don't know if the leader of the robbers will negotiate with us. Steward Xing said to Xu Dongjia, and then said to the guard, "Go and call all the guards over, and you must protect the safety of the second young master." ”
The guard frowned, and said, "But what about the other directions? ”
Steward Xing glared at him, "Aren't there still those subordinates and coachmen?" Tell them to pick up the weapons issued to them some time ago and take the place of the guards, so many subordinates and coachmen are not as good as so many guards?"
The guard wanted to refute, but at this time Xu Dongjia said: "Go quickly, listen to Uncle Xing's arrangement, everything is subject to Uncle Xing's arrangement." ”
The guards opened their mouths, but finally closed their mouths, turned around and left, and went to hurry the guards from several other directions to come over and protect Xu Dong's side together.
Many subordinates and coachmen reluctantly picked up the weapons around them and replaced the vacancy left by the guards.
However, they were different from those guards, the guards were all cultivators, and most of them were masters who had seen blood or escorted more than one caravan, and although they were afraid of the robbers, they knew that they could only have a chance of surviving at this time.
The subordinates are different from the coachmen, for them they can't become guards with weapons, at most they can use weapons as decorations to scare ordinary people, and in the face of the robbers who surrounded the caravan, they only came in the way of the owner's orders, but when the robbers attacked, it was difficult to say how many dared to resist.
The caravan escort Yang leader only took a small number of people, and there were more than a dozen guards left, all of whom came to Xu Dong's house to protect the safety of Xu Dong's family.
Coming to the caravan carriage that separated the caravan from the robbers, Steward Xing looked at the robbers outside and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, our host has come in person to meet your leader. ”
Among the robbers, one of them heard his words and naturally ran away to report to the chief.
After a short time, the robbers separated from each other, and a few more people stood in front of the bandwagons.
"Wang Ba Lamb, who wants to see Uncle I. "It was a one-eyed man who was five big and three thick, and his head was very shiny, and there was no hair at all.
"I don't know which hill is in charge?" said Steward Xing, standing behind the carriage.
"Uncle, I'm from Erlongshan, tell you that your caravan has been surrounded, obediently put down your weapons and surrender, and you can avoid a little flesh and skin. One-Eye said.
"Haha, it turned out to be the Dulong master of Erlong Mountain, and the prestige of the big boss is far and wide, and I have heard of it in the next morning. Steward Xing stood behind the carriage and arched his hand outside.
Xu Dongjia, who was on the side, whispered at this time: "Uncle Xing, since you know the big boss of Erlong Mountain, can you let him let us go?"
Steward Xing glanced at Xu Dongjia, did not answer, but looked at the one-eyed in front of him, and said: "Dulong master, I don't know where our caravan offended all the heroes, and we want to chase here from Erlong Mountain." ”
The current place of the caravan is more than a hundred miles away from Erlong Mountain, and ordinary robbers will not run so far to rob other people's chassis.
"One-eyed is one-eyed, shouting Dulong, but uncle, let me tell you, someone spent money to let us rob your caravan. One-eyed prickly said.
Steward Xing's face changed, although he knew that what One-Eye said was true, he didn't expect the other party to say it directly.
"Ah! Someone paid to rob our caravan. Xu Dongjia's face turned pale, and he said to Steward Xing, "Uncle Xing, who is going to do this, spending money to invite these robbers to rob the caravan." ”
Before Steward Xing could speak, the guards who followed him rolled his eyes, and then said: "Xu Dongjia, who spent money to rob them of the caravan is not the point, the focus is how we leave alive, and the rest of the things will be checked after we go back." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Xing, you ask that good man, how can I let the caravan go, it doesn't matter if I ask for money, I can pay more than the person who paid them to rob us. Xu Dongjia grabbed Steward Xing's arm and said nervously.
Steward Xing stretched out his other arm and patted Xu Dongjia, pulled out the arm that was grabbed with the same hand, then looked at the one-eyed in front of him, and said, "Big boss, our owner is willing to pay, as long as you are willing to let us live." ”
"Pay?" One-Eye repeated, "how much money are you going to pay, and where is the money?"
"How much did you pay for the people who came to rob the caravan?" Xu Dongjia couldn't help but ask out loud.
One-eyed said, "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Many people took a breath of cool air, and many caravan guards were even more surprised, they escorted the caravan this time, and the Xu family only came out with three thousand taels, which was less than one-third of those bandits.
