Chapter 209 Upper Trust
The result is self-evident, after this shaking of the car, Cao Ying directly kissed Li Xie.
Cicada Yi was sitting at the door with her back to the direction of the carriage, and naturally saw this scene directly in her eyes. Cicada Yi didn't dare to say more, didn't dare to look more, and after exclaiming, she directly covered her eyes with her palm.
Li Xie and Cao Ying's eyes widened face to face, and they both forgot what they were going to say and do next, so they looked at each other with wide eyes.
At this time, the exclamations and shouts outside the carriage, although they were very loud, could not reach the ears of the two people.
Until one: hee, hee, hee! Laughter came from the side. This woke up the two of them. Cao Ying immediately sat back in her place,
Li Xie turned his head and looked at the little maid who made a sound, seeing that she was covering her eyes with her hands, but the fingers between her hands could allow the plane to fly directly through the middle: "What are you laughing at?" Don't get out of the way yet. ”
Cicada Yi didn't dare to touch her brows, and shrunk her body into the corner, so that Li Xie could walk past her and get out of the carriage.
Li Xie jumped out of the carriage and looked around, only to find that his group had unconsciously come to a valley sandwiched between high mountains on both sides.
This terrain is ideal for ambushes when the two armies are fighting. But it was clear that there was no war going on, but the group that followed them all looked nervously at the heights of the two high mountains.
Even Dark Twenty picked up the weapon in his hand and jumped off the horse, staring at a high mountain with a nervous expression.
Li Xie looked along his gaze, Li Xie's cultivation was relatively high after all, and he had specially trained this ability, so his eyesight was excellent, just at a glance, he saw that in the dense grass on the high mountain, it seemed that someone was flashing.
"Brother Twenty, what's going on?" Li Xie just sat in the carriage and only felt the carriage shake, and there was nothing else to discover, and there was nothing else blocking the wheel at this time.
If he had seen the people looking normal when he came out, he might have thought that it was just a stone on the side of the road that the carriage had knocked on when it passed by, and that caused the carriage to vibrate. But it is clear that this is not the case now.
Li Xie didn't have much experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, so he really couldn't see anything at this time, so he could only ask.
"There should be a bunch of beards, and there should be their tops on them. It was they who threw stones from above and smashed them into the carriage. Dark Twenty hurriedly walked over, and after a salute, replied respectfully.
"Bandits? Can you determine how many people there are? "Just by looking at the eyes, of course, it is impossible to determine how many people are on it, even if Li Xie's eyesight is good, at this time, he can only be sure that there are people on it, but he is not sure how many people there are.
Not to mention the dark twenty whose eyesight is weaker than Li Xie, but although I can't count how many people there are, I can still guess how many people there are just from the staffing and the tools used?
"Judging from the tools and the manpower of the upper support, it should be a small gang, the number of people should be between a dozen and dozens, but it is definitely not more than half a hundred."
"There are nearly 30 of us walking outside, and most of them are equipped with knives, so it seems that such a gang of less than 50 people dares to attack us." Li Xie glanced at the dense grass in the upper room, and as soon as the dark twenty words fell, he felt that this group of people should not be simple bandits.
"Take a quick detour and try not to provoke them if you can." Li Xie gave an order and then returned to the carriage. The reason why he ordered like this was not because he was afraid of things, but because the situation between the enemy and us was unclear now, and Li Xie didn't want to take this risk.
The situation in Luo Tianfu is complicated, and Li Xie is not sure that he has caught the matter of Lu'an now, and no one else knows. Therefore, Li Xie was not sure if the people above were assassins sent by the group of people from the lonely family.
"What's wrong?" Perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Li Xie turned around and entered the carriage. Cao Ying couldn't wait to ask, obviously the conversation between Li Xie and Dark Twenty just now could be heard clearly in the car.
"It's not a big deal." After Li Xie said this, he stopped talking. However, after he came in and sat down, he didn't pick up the book he put aside, and it can be seen that Li Xie's heart was actually not calm at this time.
If it was a group of assassins, no matter how Li Xie and his party made a detour, they would definitely chase after them. But after Li Xie made a detour, there was no other movement. So it's almost certain that it's not an assassin who assassinated, and while breathing a sigh of relief, I can't help but feel strange, if there are really less than 50 people, then what is it that gives them the confidence to deal with Li Xie's gang, a team of more than 30 people, and everyone is equipped with weapons?
Could it really be the courage that Liang Jingru gave them?
Seeing that the day's walk was almost over, everyone found a relatively remote town to live in. Taking advantage of the time when everyone was resting, Li Xie directly grabbed the steward of the post station and asked:
"Do you know that there are any particularly famous bandits in this area?"
"Are there still fewer bandits these days? But if you want to say that it is particularly famous, it must be the group of people on the other side of Qingfeng Valley. "Li Xie and his entourage are people with official positions, and the shopkeeper is the manager of the post station, of course he doesn't dare to put up any shelf in front of Li Xie, so he answers very honestly.
Besides, it is not without benefit for him to answer so honestly, although Li Xie is just an inspector and travels in casual clothes, he still has to show his official certificate when he lives in the official post station. Although the inspector does not work directly, he has the responsibility of inspection, and anything can be directly heard by the heavens.
Although the gang of bandits in Qingfeng Valley was arrogant, it was only because he was at the junction of the two realms, and the officials of the two realms didn't want to care about him, if he really made up his mind to take them, it would be easy to dispatch an army.
The government didn't want to care about these things, but the people who lived near this Qingfeng Valley felt miserable about it. Li Xie inquired about such a thing now, and he answered truthfully, if he could directly go up to the heavens, wouldn't it be easy to subdue this group of bandits?
In this way, he has done a good deed, so why not?
"I don't know what's so special about this bandit in Breeze Valley." It is certainly not easy for them to dare to attack a team of 30 people, and everyone has a team equipped with knives, which is only estimated to be about 50 people.
"I don't know anything else, but since their group came to Breeze Valley, the bandits in the vicinity seem to be obedient to them.
Not only did he never dare to rob the business passing by Qingfeng Valley, but he also retreated from a distance, not daring to wander around there at all. ”
"Oh, I don't know how many of them there are." If you can make other bandits fear them, you can see how extraordinary they are. However, it is not known whether these extraordinary things are in terms of wisdom or force.
"This villain is not clear, when he encounters those who have been robbed, no one will specifically count how many of them there are!"
"Does the shopkeeper know where their bandit den is?"
"This villain is even more unclear, maybe find a person who hunts in the mountains all year round and ask if there will be news."
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Li Xie couldn't find any more news, so he thanked him. The shopkeeper was also interested, and knew that he was thanking himself now, and there must be nothing to ask, so he stepped down.
"Senior brother, do you have thoughts about them?" Cao Ying had been sitting beside Li Xie when he was questioning the shopkeeper. Seeing Li Xie asking questions from east to west, he felt that his junior brother seemed to have something to think of that gang of bandits.
Cao Ying used to travel around the rivers and lakes with her master, Master Shanyu. I have also done a lot of things to eliminate harm for the people, and of course I have the experience of going to the mountains to suppress bandits. So when Cao Ying asked this, she was quite eager to try.
