Seeing that the number of bandits is large, the number is several times that of the monks, I am afraid that the hillside defense will not last long, the bandits have words in the cloth first, they are only to find the master door to take revenge and not to loot the property, the first reaction of many merchants is to seek advantage and avoid harm, if they can sacrifice these monks to protect their lives and property, they will not hesitate to do so.

Just when the businessmen were planning in private, Cui Linjiang came to the tents of various respected businessmen as quickly as possible, and made it clear to them, these elderly and respected businessmen are not stupid, they naturally understand the so-called bandits, where will they talk about integrity, if there are no these masters, I am afraid that they would have already attacked and killed, and several businessmen appeased Cui Linjiang with good words, and soon unanimously decided to come forward together to stabilize people's hearts.

Cui Linjiang and a group of merchants tried their best to protect the caravan along the way, but they had received money, to put it bluntly, it was their duty to escort the caravan, and they were still outsiders after all, but these respected merchants were different, they were both businessmen, and they were all businessmen.

Knowing that the matter had finally subsided, Han Yu not only sighed, but also had to say that Jiang was still old and spicy, and these businessmen really had a way.

Another day passed, the weather was still half lukewarm, I was a little worried that the bandits would take advantage of the night to sneak attack, Cui Linjiang personally led the team to strengthen the vigilance, but nothing happened overnight, this day at noon, the sun rose to mid-air, shining on the body of the warm and dry, with the change of the season, the climate is getting warmer, and the scenery has become full of spring, but Han Yu and others who were surrounded on the hillside did not enjoy the scenery, everyone kept their hands on the bow, and the big knife was placed within reach, ready to fight with the bandits at any time.

It's just that the bandits stationed not far away still look lazy and resting, as if they have come to hike and go on a hike.

Han Yu couldn't guess what the bandits were fighting for a while, but he could only see the moves, but as long as the bandits were not allowed to attack the hillside, everything still had room to maneuver, and as time passed, as long as Xuzhou's reinforcements arrived, the dilemma in front of him would be solved immediately.

Cui Linjiang, who came back from the tent, walked to Han Yu and sat down, his face was slightly sad, obviously something happened, but Han Yu didn't ask and was not relieved, if Cui Linjiang planned to tell him that he didn't need to ask, he would know, as for relief, he didn't need it, in Han Yu's eyes, Uncle Cui had traveled north and south for many years, and he had encountered many winds and waves, so it was really not his turn to be a hairy boy to comfort.

Cui Linjiang looked at the bandits in the distance with a pair of tiger eyes, and sighed with some worry: "Although the bandits did not attack and kill, the people's hearts have become impetuous, and even the respected merchant leaders hope that we will send people to negotiate with the bandits, and plan to buy a way to live with their property!" ”

Han Yu knew that Cui Linjiang still had something to say, but he listened and didn't say much.

Cui Linjiang, who really thought of something, suddenly changed his expression, and continued angrily: "If we send someone to negotiate, wouldn't we be groveling to the bandits, not to mention that I must not risk the lives of my brothers to test the bandits' attempts!" ”

Han Yu nodded slightly quietly, obviously this morning's negotiation was not pleasant, if it was something else, with Cui Linjiang's temperament, it would not collapse, but it was just about the lives and safety of the teachers under his command, and Cui Linjiang, who valued love and righteousness, would never have a good face, although it was not a wise move to collapse with the business leaders at the moment, but it was also a little difficult for Cui Linjiang to be wronged, and now he could only hope that Xuzhou's reinforcements could arrive earlier, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a while, several women came over with the prepared meal, handed it to the group of teachers, Han Yu took a piece of barley cake, and suddenly remembered the first intersection with Zhang Zhimo, and I didn't know whether Zhang Zhimo and his party had successfully arrived in Xuzhou, and whether they could see Zuo Zongbing borrowing to rescue the soldiers, everything was unknown.

Han Yu shook his head, and faded away the prisoner's thoughts, each has his own blessings, and it is useless to worry about it here, he picked up the barley cake and was about to eat, suddenly Han Yu's movements were paused, because he inadvertently saw that those women looked slightly flustered, and the basket in their hands was like a life-saving straw, and some people even turned their heads to look at the tent in the distance from time to time, as if they were looking at something.

"Something is wrong!" Han Yu remained silent, and looked at the tent out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he found that someone seemed to be observing the movement here.

Han Yu suddenly shouted, "You can't eat it!" He knocked the barley cake in Cui Linjiang's hand to the ground.

It's just that Han Yu is still a step slower, the masters here are actually hungry for a long time, and within two clicks, they ate the barley cake in their hands, and then picked up the kettle and drank it in a big gulp, even if they ate slowly, only half of it was left, and they watched Han Yu get up and drink in a daze.

Han Yu grabbed the woman's wrist and said with a clear look in her eyes: "Tell me quickly, what is in this barley cake!" ”

The woman was completely stunned by Han Yu, who suddenly got up, and suddenly cried in fear, crying silently while her mouth was stumbling, and she couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.

Cui Linjiang was about to dissuade him, but when he heard Han Yu coldly ask what was in the barley cake, Cui Linjiang's color changed suddenly, and his eyes became fierce for a while.

"There's nothing left to hide!" Suddenly, the curtain of the tent not far away was lifted, and a handsome man in his early thirties in brocade clothes walked out of it, staring at the group of teachers with an indifferent expression, Han Yu also remembered that this person was Peng Li, one of the major merchants, who had previously worried about revenge for Han Yu shooting the bandits, although it was not clear what was hidden in the barley cake, but it was certainly not a seasoning.

The moment the merchant leader Peng Li appeared, a group of practitioners also reacted quickly, some people were full of fear and threw the small amount of barley cake in their hands on the ground, and those who had swallowed it in their stomachs had bitter faces, facing the moment of death, they were a little helpless for a while, and suddenly some of the walkers' footsteps became loud and staggering, and soon fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, only Han Yu and Cui Linjiang were still awake.

Han Yu's expression was cold, he really couldn't understand why Peng Li wanted to help the bandits, this person seemed to be very shrewd, naturally he wouldn't believe the bandits' rhetoric, it stands to reason that he shouldn't do anything to destroy the Great Wall, but he still did it, which is also what makes Han Yu puzzled.

The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and if the bandits suddenly attacked and killed at this time, they would not have any defensive ability at all.

For Han Yu, if he wants to solve the crisis in front of him, he can only start from Peng Li, as long as he can shoot Peng Li, and then force the antidote from those women, I believe that there is still room for maneuver, Han Yu quietly held the crossbow in his hand that was already ready to go, as long as Shang Ling Peng Li took ten steps forward, he was sure to shoot him immediately.

It's just that Peng Li was obviously very cautious, stopped outside the range of the crossbow, and looked at Han Yu with mockery, as if Han Yu's plan had already been seen through by him.

"You traitor!" Cui Linjiang, who was holding the ring-headed knife, scolded angrily, if he wasn't worried that these masters had been poisoned, I am afraid that he would have rushed forward to slash Peng Li.

"You're wrong, Cui Xingling!" The corners of Peng Li's mouth raised a playful smile, looked at Cui Linjiang and chuckled, "Although I am a businessman, I am doing another kind of business!" ”

"It turns out that you are a bandit Neiying, it seems that since Fengyang was the beginning, you have been staring at this caravan!" Han Yu stared at Peng Li and said with a sneer, slowly approaching under his feet, as long as he took a few more steps, Han Yu was sure to shoot Peng Li twenty-five miles away with his crossbow, as long as he killed this person, he would solve this crisis before the bandits rushed to kill.

"What, Han Yu, you just want to kill me like this?" Although Peng Li was arrogant, he was not a stupid person, Han Yudao's every move was under observation, but Peng Li did not retreat, but took advantage of the situation to pull over a frightened pale woman, while he himself hid behind him and looked at Han Yu with playful abuse.

Han Yu's expression was cold, and he stood in place and did not move forward.

Suddenly, an arrow roared and was shooting towards Han Yu, and suddenly a figure stepped forward, Cui Linjiang snorted and knelt on one knee, instantly pulled out the arrow on his chest, and suddenly splashed a large area of blood, he looked up at Peng Li slightly and sneered, "What kind of ability is a dark arrow to hurt people!?" ”

"Those who are dying dare to run rampant!" A trace of hideousness flashed on Peng Li's face, and he said coldly to the servants beside him, "Cut off his head for me, I want to ask the big boss for credit!" A group of bandits suddenly surrounded him, even if there were seven or eight people who came forward at the same time, Han Yu still had no fear on his face, and raised his crossbow to aim at the servant who was walking in the front, and suddenly Han Yu's arm was pinned down by the seriously injured Cui Linjiang, and said indifferently in his ear, "There is hope to live!" ”
