Chapter 52: Night Fighting Mountain Bandits
"Third grandfather, no!" Zhang Shumo stopped the third master again: "There are many ways up the mountain, even if we send people to support, we may not meet grandpa, and if we encounter mountain bandits, it will be more troublesome." ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what the hell is going on?" The third old man punched the pillar and dropped a little dust.
Seeing this, the second master said directly to Zhang Shumo: "If you have any ideas, just say them, now everyone has no time to guess your thoughts!" ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "Now our top priority is to ensure the safety of grandpa, but the Lou family has too few people, and the government must send troops, and the second is that the family must ensure that everything is thorough, and no more accidents can occur." ”
After listening to this, the second master pondered for a moment, and said to everyone: "I am in charge of the family, you can rest assured." Third brother, fourth brother, you go and ask Yang Hua to send troops to ensure that the eldest brother is well-thought! Lou Yin, you go to repair a book and let your father come back. ”
Everyone got the order, and Lou Zaiying stood up and said: "Second grandfather, let me go too, I'm going to lead a song of people, and Yang Hua will give some face." ”
The second master was hesitating, but Zhang Shumo said: "No, what are you going to make a fuss with a woman?" Those are mountain bandits who kill people without blinking, and if they really fight, no one will be able to take care of you. ”
Lou Zaiying snorted coldly: "I still need someone to take care of me?" Speaking of this, Lou Zaiying looked at the second master again: "Second grandfather, with me in the past, once Yang Hua doesn't send people, I can take my song to the mountain immediately, although it will be dealt with by military law, but it can ensure grandpa's thoughtfulness." ”
When the second master heard this, he nodded heavily: "This is also a last resort, Zaiying will work hard for you." With that, the three of them quickly left.
Zhang Shumo was worried about Lou Zaiying's safety, and hurriedly caught up with Lou Zaiying: "I'll go with you, I have some friendship with Yang Hua's daughter, and I can delay the lobbyist." ”
Lou Zaiying pushed Zhang Shumo away: "We may fight when we go out, what are you doing with a burden?" With that, he strode away.
Zhang Shumo was stunned, but quietly followed, and when the three of them left, Zhang Shumo went straight to the restaurant opposite.
At this time, in the evening, there were still two tables of guests in the tavern, Hu Kun saw Zhang Shumo coming over and quickly led him to the private room on the second floor, and Lu Li entered the room after a while.
"Second young master, is the Lou family in a good situation?"
Zhang Shumo was angry, grabbed Lu Li's collar, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't you know if the situation is good?" Why do you want to die and not save yourself! ”
Lu Li did not resist: "Second Young Master, our task is to protect your integrity, and the life or death of the Lou family has nothing to do with us." If we reveal our identities for saving them, then we will die! Don't you know the master's means? ”
Zhang Shumo snorted heavily, loosened Lu Li's collar, and felt guilty in his heart: "I'm really not worth it for Uncle Lou Hong, he died on the battlefield for the Zhang family, but in the end, the people of the Zhang family are not even willing to protect his family, if it weren't for me, Uncle Lou Hong wouldn't have to go to the frontier, if it weren't for me, Mrs. Qing wouldn't have been killed by the mountain bandits, it's all me, it's me who hurt them!" ”
Lu Li let out a long sigh: "Young Master, I don't blame you!" This world is the law of the jungle, do you think about it, why did the mountain bandits not retaliate against the Yang family but dared to do something to the Lou family? Isn't it because the Lou family is not strong enough? If the Lou family is like the Yang family, the mountain bandits can't afford to provoke them, will the mountain bandits dare to take revenge? ”
Zhang Shumo bit his lip and pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "I need your help." ”
"What's the matter, the second young master just orders."
"Master Lou led people to chase out of the city, once they chased into the mountains, Master Lou may suffer. Lou Zaiying and the others went to beg Yang Hua to send troops to support Master Lou, but I still can't rest assured, you have to take me there. Zhang Shumo said.
Lu Li nodded: "Yes, but you have to listen to my command, and you can't be reckless." ”
Zhang Shumo nodded, and Lu Li immediately said to Hu Kun: "You go and talk to Hu Xing and let him look at the store." Then prepare the carriage, and let's accompany the second young master. ”
On the other side, Lou Zaiying and the three came to Yang's house, and Yang Hua personally greeted him at the door. Due to the hurry, Lou Zaiying and the three directly explained their intentions.
"Lord Yang, my eldest brother chased the mountain bandits out of the city and has not returned yet, and I also asked Lord Yang to send troops and follow us to pick up my eldest brother." The fourth master said.
Yang Hua nodded: "If you don't come, I will go to you, and we are also responsible for the affairs of your Lou family this time, and I will definitely not stand idly by." Lou Zaiying, I will order you to take your song to pick up Master Lou. ”
Lou Zaiying hurriedly received the order, and the three of them thanked Yang Hua and went straight to the barracks. Yang Hua looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and couldn't help but shake his head: "This time, the Lou family will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss, should I sell it to them?" ”
The words are divided into two ends, Master Lou led a team of men and horses to chase and kill the mountain bandits out of the city, although Master Lou brought a full fifty people and horses, but the mountain bandits were only more than 20 people, but these mountain bandits were carefully selected by Niu Ben for this robbery, and their martial arts were extraordinary, so Master Lou did not take advantage of it, and both sides had injuries.
Master Lou chased all the way to the foot of Baishan, and the soldiers were already tired and out of breath. Master Lou knew that he couldn't chase it anymore, and although he was unwilling, he had to give up.
Just as Master Lou was about to take people back, a team of about 100 people and horses suddenly came down on the mountain, and scattered Master Lou's team.
"Don't panic, gather around me!" While killing the enemy, Master Lou shouted and wanted to gather the scattered team.
After a while, more than a dozen people gathered around Master Lou, but the number was still too small, and they were surrounded by mountain bandits.
Liu Bao and the others were chased by Master Lou for a long time, and now the situation was reversed, and Liu Bao shouted at Master Lou in the crowd: "The surname is Lou, did you think about today when you killed my Fusheng Gang?" I might as well tell you, today we are killing in Lou's house, tsk, that's a miserable one. ”
Lou Jun was so excited by Liu Bao, he became bloody: "Liu Bao dog thief, I'll take your dog's life!" After speaking, regardless of the difference in numbers, he rushed in the direction where Liu Bao was.
Seeing this, more than a dozen soldiers hurriedly chased after Lou Jun and rushed forward. Although the soldiers' martial arts are not as good as the mountain bandits, the soldiers are properly trained, and their discipline is far from being comparable to the mountain bandits. More than ten people formed a goose-shaped formation, led by Lou Jun, and charged forward.
The bandits did not expect that the soldiers would be able to charge in such a situation, and they were caught off guard. Moreover, the soldiers on the other side also gathered into a team, forming a circular formation and approaching Lou Jun's side. The encirclement formed by more than 100 mountain bandits was much thinner, and it was directly broken open by Lou Jun's goose-shaped array, and Lou Jun shouted: "Take your life!" "Raise the knife and slash at Liu Bao!
