Chapter 367: Seeing Flowers in the Mist
Xu Huai and his entourage lay behind the mound, looking at Lei Chiwei, who was being chased and killed, and the caravan guards who were chasing them, all of them were shaking like chaff.
They never thought that a group of caravan guards would need to work so hard? Is it really illegal to kill someone?
"Steward Xu, what should we do?" The disciples of the Five Fire Hall who followed Xu Huai said in horror.
"What else can I do, run!" Xu Huai has already made up his mind that he must not face Zhong Xiaoshi head-on!
At this moment, he was also glad that he was scared away by an arrow just now, although it was a bit embarrassing to lose it, but it was better than losing a small life.
Xu Huai was happy in his heart, and at the same time, he was also secretly scolding Lei Chi Weituo, if it weren't for his self-righteousness, thinking that 300 people against 50 people was like a fetal sac, how could this battle be lost like this?
At this moment, Lei Chiwei was also greeting Xu Huaizu in his heart, if Xu Huai wanted to stay alive, how could he let the brothers rush forward with knives?
These two people, now their minds are used to shirk responsibility, but unlike Lei Chiwei, Xu Huai can at least escape from Zhongli Mansion safely, and Lei Chiwei is already hanging by a thread!
Zhong Xiaoshi and the others are extremely fast, and they have bows and crossbows in their hands, and it is not as easy to hunt them as hunting rabbits.
In less than half an hour, there were only twenty or thirty robbers left who fled with Lei Chiwei, and the rest were either shot, or they sensed that something was wrong, and knew that the other party was chasing and killing their leader, so they fled separately early, and the results also proved that their choice was very correct, Zhong Xiaoshi and others were going to Lei Chiwei, which made more and more people break away from Lei Chiwei, so in the end, Lei Chiwei and his cronies were left!
When did Lei Chiwei suffer such a crime, seeing that he was in a catastrophe, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Show your identity!" ”
Several small leaders were taken aback when they heard this, but think about what other way to escape the other party's arrows now besides using their identities to deter each other?
So, more than 20 people turned around at the same time, and a waist card came out from their waists, and a small leader next to Lei Chiwei immediately shouted: "All the strong men are going to do it, and we are all Zhongli Mansion guards!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the guards who were chasing couldn't help but stop in unison, looking at each other with some suspicion.
Zhong Xiaoshi frowned, and shouted loudly: "Since you are a guard, why do you want to rob my caravan? ”
The little leader hurriedly replied: "We are ordered by the general to infiltrate the robbers to find out the origin of this group of gangsters, and we must not reveal our identities unless we have to, and I ask the strong man to understand!" ”
Zhong Xiaoshi hesitated a little, and when the fourth brother Zhong Xiaozhan saw the expression of the eldest brother, he knew that he was about to relent, so he quickly reminded: "Big brother, I can't believe the words of these thieves!" ”
"But if that's the case, kill them, and we will be accused of being thieves!" Zhong Xiaoshi's words made Zhong Xiaozhan also extremely distressed, he was originally a thief, but now he is a soldier, there is a world of difference between the two, if they take the liberty of attacking, not only will they suffer, but even Yiyuan, Yanjiao, and wives and children at home will be implicated because of their recklessness!
After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Xiaoshi said loudly: "The token alone is not enough to prove it, if you are really a guard, then dare to lose your blade, how about waiting with me to return to Zhongli Mansion?" ”
"You!" Lei Chiwei was furious when he heard this, and was about to attack, when the little leader on the side hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, Xiaodutong, they are strong at this time, if they refuse, I am afraid that the other party will be reckless, it is better to follow them, stay in Zhongli Mansion, and have their own generals to stand up for us!" ”
Lei Chiwei thought for a moment, and felt that there was only this way.
It was originally a robbery, but it suddenly fought equally, and in the end, he was killed by the other party without leaving a piece of armor, and he was also taken prisoner.
Seeing Lei Chiwei's silent nod, the little leader immediately said aloud: "Okay, we promise you!" ”
"That's it?" Zhong Xiaoyi saw the people who came back one after another, and hurriedly grabbed the fifth brother Zhong Xiaoling.
Zhong Xiaoling seemed to be very dissatisfied with this battle, and nodded at Zhong Xiaoyi and said dishappily: "Alas, second brother, you don't know, you could have wiped them all out, but before the other party died, he actually showed his military card and said that he was the guard of Zhongli Mansion!" ”
"What? How did you become a guard? Zhong Xiaoyi frowned.
Cao Luorong and Liu Su glanced at each other, and they were also a little surprised, but Cao Luorong was not only surprised, but also a little worried!
"Who is the commander of the Zhongli Mansion Guard?" Cao Luorong suddenly interjected.
"I know this, the commander of the Zhongli Mansion Guards is the commander of the capital who fought against the mob in the three counties east of Suzhou the year before last, named Yuan Guangping, Cao Niangzi should know this person." Zhong Xiaoyi looked at Cao Luorong curiously.
Cao Luorong was even more surprised when she heard this, her eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and she didn't let go for a long time, and finally she suddenly stared at Zhong Xiaoyi with a solemn face and said: "It's not a good thing, solve these people quickly, otherwise a big disaster will come!" ”
"What?" Zhong Xiaoyi was taken aback, if someone else said this, he would only be joking, but Cao Luorong was a woman, Zhong Xiaoyi felt that she should be very smart, otherwise how could she say those incomprehensible words to the sect leader.
"Cao Niangzi, didn't you tell us to kill them, if they are really guards, we are all done!" After Zhong Xiaoyi finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoling on the side also nodded again and again.
"Stupid!" Cao Luorong rolled her eyes, and said impatiently: "Who let you kill them, it's just a solution, for the sake of now, the only way to do this is to let them go, get on the road quickly, and then meet people along the way and say that you have encountered robbers, fortunately Zhongli Mansion guards rescued you and escaped, as long as you continue to promote their public morality along the way, you can be fine!" ”
After speaking, Cao Luorong suddenly saw the crossbow arrow in Zhong Xiaoling's hand, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "What are you doing with this thing, hurry up and throw it away, immediately gather people to hurry up and go on the road, if it is too late, there will be trouble!" ”
Zhong Xiaoling was a little displeased when he heard this, this crossbow was much better than a hunting bow, and he still wanted to get a few more to hide.
As Zhong Xiaoling's cousin, Zhong Xiaoyi knew what this guy was thinking at a glance, so he quickly dodged the crossbow arrow in his hand with one hand, threw it aside, and ordered: "Why don't you tell the brothers to throw away all the crossbow arrows, hiding this thing is going to lose your head, you want to rebel!" ”
After that, Zhong Xiaoyi didn't ask Cao Luorong again, so he directly found his eldest brother Zhong Xiaoshi, pulled him aside, and quietly relayed Cao Luorong's words.
"That's what Mrs. Cao said!" Zhong Xiaoshi was a little surprised.
"That's right, if the eldest brother thinks there is anything wrong, now go and ask Cao Niangzi how it is?" Zhong Xiaoyi proposed.
"No need, I'm also worried about how to deal with them, now with Cao Niangzi's strategy, presumably Zhongli Mansion can't do anything to us!" After Zhong Xiaoshi finished speaking, he immediately ordered the second brother to act quickly.
Lei Chiwei looked at Zhong Xiaoshi and the others who were suddenly busy, and he was angry and hateful in his heart, secretly thinking that as long as he returned to Zhongli Mansion, none of these people could stay!
However, contrary to his expectations, Zhong Xiaoshi and others suddenly began to pack up their things, pick up the goods scattered along the road and load the carts, and use manpower to push the carts when there were no horses, resulting in fewer and fewer people guarding them, and finally there were only ten left.
"What's the situation?" Lei Chiwei didn't feel very good.
The little boss on the side didn't care and said: "It's just to pick up the goods, so there's no need to be surprised." ”
Although this is true, the other party's actions are too weird, and the direction of the carriage is not right, why is it facing Zhongli Mansion?
In the end, after Zhong Xiaoshi commanded his subordinates to clean up, he actually greeted: "Go on the road!" ”
Lei Chiwei and the others were about to follow, but they found that the ten guards guarding them immediately raised their bows and crossbows and aimed at them, as if warning anyone who dared to take a step forward, they would be killed!
Mo said that Lei Chiwei noticed that something was wrong, and even his subordinates felt it, after all, Zhong Xiaoshi's people had already hit the road, and they were not going to Zhong Li's mansion at all, but continued to want to go northwest, and when they were far away, the ten guards suddenly threw away their bows and crossbows, but did not leave a single arrow, turned around and chased in the direction of the caravan.
"What do you mean?"
Lei Chiwei and the others gathered face to face, and just now they were all the guards who were rushing to kill, but they left without a fart at this moment.
This situation and this scene are like, seeing flowers in the fog! (To be continued.) )
