46. Start a family
After a while of shuttling and sneaking in the forest, Yan Xing heard the sound of rustling between the trees in front of him, and a trace of fire came out from the gaps between the branches and leaves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the row of long, dense weeds in front of them was trampled apart, a stream of twenty or so thieves with open flames emerged from the grass and trees in front.
They searched around by firelight, and found no trace of anyone, and a tall and thin man in the crowd cooed twice in the sound of the night owl, followed by a rustling sound, and one after another thieves continued to sneak out of the grass, and gathered in the open space around the person with the torch in front, and the number was nearly two hundred.
"Damn, I was run away by that sentry post, and that person was so frightened that he didn't even have time to blow the warning horn, so he fled, and that half of the shit still fell into his pants!"
As soon as the tall and thin man joked, the thieves gathered around him laughed when they heard this, and their laughter was unbridled, and they all looked fearless.
In the midst of laughter, it was not long before someone shouted loudly:
"Chengjia, now that person has also run away, what are I waiting for, hurry out and solve that group of business travelers!"
Family, who has the honorific title of a person of great talent or power and wealth, can also be used to address the leader. The tall and thin man with the torch seemed to be the leader of the bandits, and he nodded in the firelight, and with a smile on his face, he said to the thief who had made a loud offer:
"That's right, although this group of caravans is cunning and has set up a few sentry posts on the periphery, but unfortunately it has been touched by us at the moment, and it is too late to blow the horn, although some fish escaped by chance, but seeing that the guard post is so unbearable, the camp must be panicked——"
Speaking of this, the family smiled, showed the big yellow teeth behind his lips, pointed in the direction of the camp, and said loudly:
"This time, Brother Zhang, you will lead the raid, and you will rely on your brother's bravery!"
"Very good, my old Zhang has long wanted to pick a few fresh heads to make a new drowning pot, sons, come with me!"
This kind of temporary camp has no protection on the periphery, and it is easy to fall into chaos once it is raided at night, and the thief surnamed Kou is trying to grab the first credit in his heart, and he is not polite to this smiling family at the moment, so he directly points his own manpower, violently splits the weeds and branches on the road ahead, and runs away in the direction of the temporary camp with his legs.
Cheng Jia watched the other party go away violently, and couldn't help but sneer a few times. A few days ago, their gang of thieves set their sights on this line of businessmen, but it was really difficult to start because of the other party's many elite guards, so they followed all the way and followed to the territory of Lintao.
The hard work paid off, the other party appeared lax and careless tonight, and successfully exploited the loophole for his side, and several peripheral sentry posts that were perfunctory were directly touched by their group, although they escaped by luck, but they didn't even blow the horn of warning, which undoubtedly gave the thieves a good opportunity to raid at night and catch the other party off guard.
However, after all, the family still has some plans of its own, and he can see from the past few days that this line of businessmen is not an ordinary businessman, not only are there many fine cavalry guards around him, but also the faces of these knights are resolute and calm, and they are good at experiencing war.
The person who took the lead in the raid fought with them, and he was afraid that he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so he just pretended to be generous and gave the first credit of this raid to the thief surnamed Zhang, but his own people took a break here, rested for a while, and then went out to save the scene. The thief surnamed Zhang prides himself on being brave on weekdays, and tonight he is just the right time to lead his team to rush the temporary camp of those merchants, and it is best to fight and lose both, so that his own side can get the maximum benefit.
Just when this family was thinking about Zhengmei and thinking that he had a plan, a bow and arrow sound sounded, which frightened his neck and his scalp instantly numb.
A surprise arrow shot out directly from somewhere in the forest, hitting the face of a thief beside him, blood splashed his face, splashed with thick and bloody blood, his brain was empty, and before he could speak in a hurry, the other thieves around him who were attacked were already shouting "enemy attack" in a panic, some released arrows in all directions, some dodged and hidden, and became chaotic.
As if to confirm the "enemy attack" in the mouth of the thief, a loud voice sounded from the forest.
"Second and third sons, the dead have fallen into our ambush, outflanking left and right, and working together to kill the thief!"
As soon as the words fell, another thief fell to the ground with an arrow, and a "rustling" sound of running in the nearby forest sounded. The frightened thieves suddenly panicked, raised their bows and arrows and continued to shoot at the dense forests on both sides, but the "rustling" sound came and went, but it made the frightened thieves surge up a sense of fear that the enemy was everywhere, and for a time the timid thieves were already trembling in two strands, as if they were facing a big enemy, and they were prepared to smear oil on the soles of their feet when the situation was not good, and they took the lead in escaping.
"Don't fall for the enemy's tricks, this is the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves, there is no ambush at all!"
Cheng Jia stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and the smell of blood at this time made his heart settle down. He glanced around, secretly calling it a fluke, but fortunately the first arrow of the enemy had just missed him, he gathered his spirit, and shouted:
"Sons, don't panic, the sentry posts of that group of merchants have been touched by us, where is there any ambush, it must be the sentry post that escaped just now hiding near here, bluffing, wanting to scare us and others, quickly disperse and search, don't escape that shaft!"
was yelled at by the family, and the subordinates around him settled down, and listened carefully, this "rustle" was not so terrifying, not so much the sound of the team of people running in the forest, but the sound of the wind blowing the leaves in the forest.
So the thieves who had regained their courage were immediately annoyed, holding torches and swords, and cursing and rushing into the woods on both sides, wanting to hack this cunning enemy to death, but unfortunately at this time where could they still find the trace of the enemy, and they had long since disappeared.
"Damn, I'm afraid that the sound of running at the beginning is the sound made by the sentry escaping, this group of businessmen is so difficult, it is really not an ordinary family, the Zhang family is afraid that they can't cope with it, hurry up, follow me to support him!"
The Cheng family, who shouted for the plan, knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates who were scattered to search to gather again, ordered more torches, shouted and grew stronger, rushed out of the forest one after another, ran wildly, and went to chase after the thieves surnamed Zhang and others who had already set off to raid the camp.
