Chapter 289 Front-and-back attack
"Cheer me up! If you lose one of these things, you can't afford to take this responsibility! Give me some vigilance, I will sleep in the carriage for a while, and I will talk about something in time. ”
Diao Boyong inspected the treasures of several carriages in a good manner, and finally shouted at a few coachmen who looked crooked and cracked, and then returned to the carriage.
After a while, there was a sound of snoring in the car, and the people inside seemed to be asleep.
The people outside the carriage chatted and touched the fish, especially after hearing the sound of people in the carriage already falling asleep. The section of the road that should have been walked quickly is now grinding, as if there is no food to eat.
"Oh, new face, why haven't I seen you before, it's a new arrival, otherwise I wouldn't know you?"
One of the most active and talkative men in the crowd suddenly caught a glimpse of the deliberately inconspicuous person at the end of the group, although he looked quite tall, but a little thinner, not like the brothers he usually saw.
Hearing that someone was ridiculing and paying attention to himself, Gu Zhao even pulled down the brim of his hat to cover most of his face, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't have any emotion in his answer.
"Yes, the new kid. Let's hurry first, don't talk about these things that don't have them, I'm afraid it's going to change today. ”
In order to prevent those bandits from being suspicious, now there are people in the crowd who know the situation and are prepared, and of course, there are also people who do not know the situation in advance.
Gu Zhixing, Gu Zhao and others also discussed for a long time, and finally made such a decision about whether they needed to tell everyone involved about the reason for this matter.
Now Gu Zhao knows that many of the people are like himself, and they know what today's trip means, but everyone is just silent, afraid of flaws.
The person who was quite excited to see the new face, looking at the cold ass that he was now just a hot face, suddenly snorted coldly with some interest, and returned to the front of the team, where he was originally from.
"Looking at the weather today, it seems that it will indeed rain later. It's really unlucky, this Niujiashan has to walk for more than half a day before it can reach the new town. If you don't hurry up today, I'm afraid it will really end up in soup. ”
The man was muttering to himself, and it could be seen that he was a person who was a little authoritative and talkative in the team on weekdays. As soon as he said this, several younger brothers beside him echoed him.
But Gu Zhao really had no interest in him at all, pretending to unintentionally lower the brim of his hat, and glanced up at the mountainsides on both sides.
A cold wind blew and the leaves rattled, and ordinary people would definitely not feel anything unusual when they looked at it casually. However, at this time, Gu Zhao knew that behind those dense woods, what was hidden was a pair of elites led by Lu Zhe now.
Although Gu Zhixing had also argued with Gu Zhao before, and finally agreed to let Gu Zhao participate in this operation, Lu Zhe, who also set off with them, couldn't put his mind at ease at all.
In addition to the things that he had to do today, he was naturally very nervous about Gu Zhao's safety now. On the one hand, he had to command his men to move silently through the woods and keep up with this group of men; On the one hand, he had to keep an eye on Gu Zhao all the time, for fear that if there was a slight mistake, Gu Zhao would really be injured.
Everything was going according to plan, a team of people were chatting or napping, or they were silent like Gu Zhao, only bowing their heads and moving forward, and after a while, they came to the foot of Niujia Mountain, which is also the most densely wooded place.
According to the previous plan, there was a high probability that the bandits would ambush in this section, so Lu Zhe's people were also more vigilant. Even if they followed the convoy escorting Shengchengang below, they didn't dare to get too close.
"How do I feel that this road is cold, as if someone is staring at me from behind all the time."
The trees are so dense that they shade the sky, so the sides of the road look much darker. Even though it's the middle of the day, it does look a little weird.
Finally, someone couldn't help but complain like this, Gu Zhao became even more nervous in his heart, and he, who had been silent, reminded the other party coldly at this time.
"If you think it's weird, hurry up, don't look around. I'm afraid it's really going to change, and if there is a thunderstorm before this forest comes out, it is very likely that it will be struck by thunder. ”
This was not friendly at all, and the person who was scolded by Gu Zhao originally planned to quarrel with him, but seeing that the big guys were now cheering up and hurrying away, they could only endure it first.
But what everyone didn't know was that Gu Zhao was already worried in his heart now, because according to the previous plan, if the bandits didn't appear now, it was very likely that the bandits wouldn't appear today. Then all these preparations of theirs are equivalent to completely throwing themselves into the air.
But it shouldn't be, Uncle Huang had already gotten the exact news before, or a secret letter from an informant who was originally in the Flowing Fire Village. That group of bandits must have left the cottage today, and if they didn't come for this batch of birth gangs, then there would be no reason to leave the cottage.
"General, do we still have to go forward? If you enter that forest, you will probably have an ambush with the enemy. ”
Now Lu Zhe, who had followed closely outside the forest, was also very worried, and the deputy general next to him looked at him for a long time and didn't give an order, and couldn't help but ask like this, but Lu Zhe frowned tightly and didn't speak for a long time.
Sure enough, as Gu Zhao said before, I don't know what the weather is like today, maybe it is to cooperate with them to exterminate the bandits, but it will be like dark clouds pressing down on the city after a while, and such a change in the weather makes Lu Zhe even more worried.
But at this time, seeing that Gu Zhao had gradually left his sight, Lu Zhe was ruthless, and finally decided to follow first, as long as he was careful enough, he should not be exposed so quickly.
"Tell my brothers, to keep an eye on your surroundings at all times! Try not to make too much noise, and we continue to follow into the woods. Don't be afraid, this group of bandits is definitely going to attack today, we must calm down and not show our feet first. ”
Lu Zhe lowered his voice and cautiously commanded. Originally, he thought that the group of bandits were all rough people, and if he knew that the treasures of the Birth Gang had come, he would definitely not be able to hold it back, but now that he saw that there was no movement for a long time, he suddenly began to feel a little bottomless in his heart.
And now he has not received a signal from Gu Zhixing, which proves that the bandits' den has either not carried out the operation yet, or has not yet achieved the expected purpose. I don't know what happened over there, which only made Lu Zhe more flustered.
Fortunately, many years of actual combat experience will not make him mess up in such a small scene. If it weren't for Gu Zhao in the team today, he wouldn't even sweat on his head now.
The army, which had received the order, continued to follow the escort team like a shadow and marched forward.
Everyone was breathing, seeing that there was a bright light in front of them, and the convoy was about to leave the forest, Gu Zhao couldn't help but sweat in his palms, could it be that this time the plan was really going to fall through like this?
As a result, only for a second, before Gu Zhao came back to his senses, he heard the sound of an arrow feather tearing through the air, straight into the sky! Then the carriage at the front suddenly overturned, and it turned out to be the sturdy horse, which was now hit by several arrows in the chest, and fell to the ground neighing miserably!
"There's a situation, stop!"
The leader saw that the horse had fallen, and after a few seconds of fright, he hurriedly stepped back, drew the big knife that had been placed on the carriage for self-defense, and looked around nervously.
Gu Zhao also followed the others, hurriedly picked up his weapons, looked around vigilantly, and finally saw several bandits who were five big and three rough, and now they were rushing down from the mountain with shouts.
Gu Zhao's heart tightened, no matter how much he swore before, now that he really encountered such a situation, it was completely deceitful to say that he was not nervous.
However, the group of bandits did not rush up and kill them, but surrounded them first, looking determined to win.
"Big, bold! Do you know whose path you are hindering? It's only a few steps out of the imperial city, and there are bandits who dare to rob in the sky, aren't you afraid of officers and soldiers? ”
The hand holding the knife in the leader was trembling slightly, but he still had to try to reprimand loudly and support the scene. The bandits heard him say this, and they all laughed back and forth, as if they had heard some big joke.
"Officers and soldiers? If the officers and soldiers are really in charge, if you Xisheng Emperor is really a little backbone, we won't stop you today! Without further ado, this batch of birthdates is left, you guys, fuck off! ”
The leader is naturally Sun Shuofeng, the big boss in Liuhe Village today, and he will not be the first to rush out on weekdays.
But today, they secretly observed for a long time, and found that the rich merchant was really as the legend said, inviting a group of crooked melons and cracked dates to send each other, so they felt that they didn't need to guard so much. What's more, this batch of treasures is really eye-catching, and now he can't hold it back, and plans to do it himself.
Hearing Sun Shuofeng's arrogant words, the people in the carriage finally woke up, and then got out of the carriage in a panic, and even when they got out of the carriage, their legs and feet were weak, and they couldn't stand steadily.
When a few bandits saw him like this, they had already started to laugh, they had thought that today's batch of Birth Compendium would definitely be available, but they didn't expect it to be so easy. One by one, they got carried away for a while, and they didn't notice it, this matter is really strange.
"What do you want to do! Don't you know who Lao Tzu is? Dare to rob Lao Tzu's things, this batch of birth gangs is not something you can move, now if you know each other, get out of the way, I will act as if nothing has happened, otherwise,"
Diao Boyong straightened the mink hat on his head in embarrassment, deliberately pretending to be very fierce.
