Chapter 138: Everyone Knows What's Going On

What is the safest team on the road to the next tomorrow? The answer is not a convoy protected by a dart master, nor a horse convoy escorting the army's rations, nor a convoy of officials transporting officials on the Grand Canal, but a convoy of officials.

Caravans, food, and transportation are robbed, if the local officials are not diligent in their work, then this kind of seemingly great case often has no result in the ruffle, but if an official's team is robbed by a strongman, things immediately become different, the magistrates everywhere will go all out to arrest, and the strongman is caught, if it is good to die, if it is captured alive, it is better to live than to die, and I really regret that I came to this world to walk.

What is the reason, every official is worried about what will happen if he is robbed, if he ignores his colleagues, if he has this day.

Of course, there is also this rule on the underworld and the green forest, and the private team of officials will not touch it, or even protect it secretly.

The 50 officers and men of the Beijing battalion who followed Liu Shunhua's convoy out of Beijing originally thought that although the road was a little colder on this trip, this kind of business trip would have a lot of oil and water after arriving at the destination, which could be regarded as a small fat difference. No one would have imagined that when they were about to enter Shandong, they would meet a strongman.

The officers and soldiers were led by a small banner surnamed Wang, and the reaction was quite quick, and when he saw the gangsters surrounding him, he immediately ordered his fifty people to form a circle, and the spears in their hands were rushing outward.

Wang Xiaoqi saw the equipment of the "strongman", and immediately cried out bitterly, the soldiers in the world in the Beijing camp are considered to have sufficient military salaries, the soldiers are well-armoured, and the fifty Beijing camp soldiers are all brand-new mandarin duck battle jackets, and the lower body is surrounded by iron mesh battle skirts, which can be regarded as a very neat appearance, but the bandits are even covered with battle jackets on their horses, and the texture looks much better than that of the Beijing camp soldiers.

The one on the horse is actually covered in fine iron armor, looking at that style, it seems to be the armor that only has a hundred households, extremely sophisticated, and the iron helmet on his head is wearing a mask, just showing his eyes. Surrounded Liu Shunhua's convoy, every ironclad horse bandit, ironclad horse bandit~! Saying this term, Wang Xiaoqi himself felt that his teeth were sore, even the 'Han generals' who served as the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in the Beijing Division did not have such good equipment, and now this one who is going to rob actually has such equipment.

The ironclad warriors on the horses were all spears in their hands, and large swords and short axes hung on the side of the saddle, and now the spears were all hanging down and pointing at the convoy in the circle, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Wang Xiaoqi was at a stalemate, while thinking to himself why no one on both sides of the official road had rushed over, although the road was now sparsely populated, but it would not be so long without people, he naturally did not know, in the place where it was now five miles away from the front and back of the convoy, there were people dressed as officers and soldiers there to let the caravan or carriage and horses take another road, the reason was to arrest the thief, and the idlers retreated.

"Rob, rob, rob."

After this voice was shouted, there was a commotion in the Liu Mansion in the circle, thinking that it was really a bandit, not only robbing money, but also robbing color, but Wang Xiaoqi over there was a little strange in his heart, thinking that the robbery would be a robbery, and I had more than 100 people in the Liu Mansion.

How can there be a beautiful woman worth using such a big battle to rob, in the carriage in the circle, Liu Shunhua finally mustered up the courage to stand up, his courage was never too big, at this time, when he heard the word robbery, he finally felt that things might have taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly stood up, first shouted loudly:

"This official is Liu Shunhua, the political envoy who took office in Shandong, and the female dependents of the official's family are all here, are you mistaken?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a roar from the crowd:

"It's annoying to look at you as an old thing, and if you say more, I'll shoot you through."

After this angry shout, a feather arrow swished over, ready to stare at the edge of the compartment next to Liu Shunhua, Liu Shenzheng was there for a while, so frightened that he sat back in the carriage at once, Wang Xiaoqi saw that the other party had a bow and arrow, and he was even more frightened, knowing that he was even more dangerous here.

hurriedly and loudly greeted his subordinates:

"Brothers, let's get inside, the spears in our hands are tight, their horses won't be able to rush in, if Lord Liu makes a mistake, we will be a felony all over the house!"

The Beijing camp in the Jiajing period was not a hundred years later against the Dashun Chuang army and the Jurchen Tartars, and there was still some courage to fight in it.

Fifty people surrounded the two carriages, and the spears in their hands were like hedgehogs facing outward, this kind of circle formation is a wonderful way to deal with cavalry, but the premise is that the cavalry does not have long-range attack weapons, Wang Xiaoqi also saw that the archer riding next to the leader of the other party was a few arrows in the quiver, of course, he didn't expect himself to be able to withstand the impact of the other party, just to delay time.

Watching them put on this formation, the knight led by him burst into laughter, although he couldn't see any expression under the mask, that is, everyone in the circle could feel the shame in the laughter, although Wang Xiaoqi knew that he would die, but the other party was so rubbing, as if a cat was playing with a mouse, and finally became furious, holding the spear tightly in his hand, and shouted to the knight outside:

"Bastard, if you have the ability, you can rush over and see if the uncle's gun can pierce your bird."

There was silence around, but Liu Shunhua sensed some smell in the car, and it seemed that these well-armed ironclad bandits outside were not here to rob the road. From the beginning to the present, no one was injured, and the voice of the leader was muffled in the mask, but he had heard it there.

Wang Xiaoqi's face outside turned pale, because the knights on those horses all took out the fire guns from the second horse, that's right, the second horse, damn it, each of these horse bandits has two horses, this fucking is the most elite border army in the Ming Dynasty does not have such strength.

And there are also firecrackers, the knights in iron armor slowly but not clumsily fill the firecrackers, light the firerope and then face the sky, "bump" and "bump" sound like raindrops.

The knight at the head said slowly:

"Put down the guys in your hands, we came here to rob people, and we don't want to hurt people."

The mouse will bite the cat if it is forced to be anxious, but the mouse is a tiger, Wang Xiaoqi dropped his weapon in a daze, and the surrounding Beijing soldiers also dropped their weapons, and the difference in strength was too far.

The knights rode over slowly, separating the servants from the Beijing soldiers, and several people forced Liu Shunhua in the carriage with weapons, and the knight led by jumped off the horse and walked towards the carriage behind Liu Shunhua, from the beginning to the present, only the quietest there.

At this time, among the separated families in Liu's Mansion, someone whispered:

"We don't have any beautiful women here"

Although there was a mask on his face, Jiang Feng still heard the latter sentence, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in the carriage opened the curtain of the cotton cloth, and Liu Fangrui, who was wearing women's clothes inside, did not have the slightest panicked look, and saw the 'horse bandits' open the curtain, and there was no panicked expression at all. Just asked coldly:

"Did you bring me barbecued pork?"

"How do you know ......?"
