Chapter 109 Encounter with bandits
Li Yao's convoy walked smoothly on the road, Li Yao looked at these wolf-like soldiers, and was very worried that those bandits would not come, Li Yao really wanted to see the combat ability of these soldiers!
Although the city guards traveled in plain clothes, as long as Li Yao testified, these soldiers could definitely get full rewards, so Li Yao also said to Luan Yuanqing just now, so that Luan Yuanqing would have no worries and kill the enemy with confidence!
The convoy traveled for about an hour, and the terrain suddenly changed, and the road was bumpy, as if suddenly entering a country road!
The city guards quickly raised their vigilance, after all, Luan Yuanqing just told them that this is a zone where bandits frequently appear, and the marquis of Qi Country is sitting in the carriage, so he must be protected!
Li Yao stretched his head out of the carriage, looked at the nearby terrain, and said to Qizhi: "The road is not stable, if something happens, you will stay in the carriage, no matter what happens, don't get out of the carriage, remember?" ”
Qizhi nodded obediently, Li Yao looked at the scenery outside, decided not to stay in the carriage, pulled down the iron piece of the carriage window, and sealed the carriage to death!
Li Yao's carriage is specially processed, and the inside of the carriage is surrounded by a layer of iron sheet about the thickness of a small thumb, so there is no need to worry about arrows shooting in it, but this also causes Li Yao's carriage to be very heavy, fortunately, Li Yao's position can allow two horse-drawn carriages, otherwise a horse really can't pull it!
So as long as Qizhi stayed in the carriage, Li Yao didn't worry about Qizhi's safety at all, and when he got out of the carriage, Li Yao asked Fuchuan to get into the carriage to protect Qizhi, and rode her horse on the road by himself!
Luan Yuanqing saw that Li Yao had come out, and hurriedly rode his horse over, and said, "Master Hou, please go back to the carriage, it's not safe outside!" ”
Li Yao smiled, Luan team rate, if there is any situation, you can just deal with it, don't worry about me, my ten hundred battle guards are enough to protect my safety, and I am ready to watch your performance!
Luan Yuanqing looked at the ten veterans of a hundred battles, and he was not worried about Li Yao's safety, if the ten veterans of a hundred battles could not protect Li Yao's safety, then his own team of city guards might not be able to protect it!
Qi country, like Yi country, is forbidden to have strong bows, and the hunting bow of ordinary hunters is too soft, even if the city guard soldiers can turn away the bow and arrow from a distance as long as they are focused!
Li Yao's group of two or three hundred people is considered a relatively large convoy, and there is no army escort, although the number of escorts is quite a lot, but in general, it is still quite attractive! After all, such a big list is not easy to come across, Li Yao didn't believe that those bandits would watch the fat slip through their mouths!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for hundreds of bandits to burst out in front of the convoy, and the bandit led by him shouted: "I planted this tree, I drove this road, if you want to pass from here, stay and buy road money!" ”
After listening to the bandits' slogan, Li Yao smiled, the old-fashioned slogan is still used by the bandits, it's really not innovative!
Luan Yuanqing quickly shouted: "Everyone is on alert, waiting for orders!" ”
A hundred city guards quickly assembled and lined up one after another, and the bandit who led the bandit saw that the people on the opposite side were moving so quickly, he knew that he had encountered a hard ballast this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly retreat!" ”
As soon as the bandits saw that the leaders led by them had run away, they scattered in all directions!
When the hundred city guards saw that the bandits had run away, they couldn't stand it and wanted to pursue them, and this was a great time to get military merits! But Luan Yuanqing shouted: "Don't pursue, be careful, the convoy continues to move forward!" ”
Li Yao looked at Luan Yuanqing's performance, and couldn't help but feel good, Luan Yuanqing has a hundred city guards, if he goes to chase the bandits who have fled everywhere, he will inevitably be separated in an instant, if the bandits take the opportunity to fight back, Luan Yuanqing's hundred-person city guards will definitely be defeated in an instant!
Although the city guards wanted to pursue, Luan Yuanqing had already given an order and had to obey it, so they carefully guarded and advanced!
At first, the people of the caravan couldn't help but be frightened when they saw so many bandits coming, but when they saw the bandits defeated, they all became happy, and some of them even sang a little song to celebrate!
Zu Maocai also trotted over, hurriedly patted Li Yao's ass, and said: "Master Hou is really mighty, just scaring away hundreds of bandits outside the carriage, it's really a great wonder in life!" ”
Li Yao said secretly: "It's the city guards who scared away the bandits, what's the matter with me!" ”
But it's not easy to say directly, so he said: "The city guards have also made a lot of efforts, if the ancestor shopkeeper wants to celebrate, let's improve the food for the city guards at night!" ”
Zu Maocai hurriedly said: "Of course, I have already asked the guys to prepare, take out twenty catties of meat, and treat the city guards well!" ”
Twenty catties of meat, each city guard only got a few taels of meat, and it was just enough to stuff the pressure seam, but it was better than nothing, so Li Yao arched his hand and said: "Then you can tell Luan the team rate this good news!" ”
Zu Maocai smiled and said, "Then I'll retire first!" After speaking, he ran to Luan Yuanqing!
Li Yao said to the guards, "Do you think these bandits were defeated by themselves or did they deliberately escape?" ”
The guard next to him smiled: "If you collapse without a fight, you must have escaped on purpose, and there must be a condom in the back!" ”
Li Yao looked at the guards and smiled: "Yes, several times my strength, and it was defeated with just one word?" Fools probably won't be fooled! ”
Where Li Yao's eyes were, Zu Mao showed off like a victorious general! I can't help but shake my head!
Luan Yuanqing also rode his horse and trotted over, and said, "Master Hou, I suspect that this is a trap of bandits, and they will be defeated without a fight, there must be some conspiracy!" Please be careful! ”
Li Yao quipped: "Please rest assured, Luan, I am now under your command, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." My life hangs on you now, you have to keep me safe! ”
Luan Yuanqing immediately said solemnly: "Master Hou, please rest assured, I will use my life to protect you from harm!" ”
Seeing that Luan Yuanqing was so serious, Li Yao also became serious and said, "If I can return to Yi County safely, I promise to give you a generous reward!" ”
Luan Yuanqing shook his head and said, "It is our duty to protect Hou Ye, I don't want to be rewarded, I just want Hou Ye to be safe!" ”
Listening to Luan Yuanqing's words, Li Yao was very moved, patted Luan Yuanqing on the shoulder, and said seriously: "I'll give you a chance now, if you want to defect to me, I will definitely give you a position of general for you to hold, and I will let your family move to Yi County with formal procedures!" ”
Seeing that Luan Yuanqing didn't speak, Li Yao was not annoyed, "I'll give you a month, you think slowly, in fact, I really want you and your father to come to work for me, and you should also know that the world will be chaotic soon!" ”
Luan Yuanqing trembled when he heard Li Yao say that the world was going to be in chaos, and looked at Li Yao incredulously.
Li Yao said with a smile: "In fact, the general trend of the world is like this, if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and if you are together for a long time, you must be divided!" The previous dynasty has been divided for so long, it's time for reunification! ”
