The whole convoy was carrying grain, cloth, although not some expensive good things, but it was a necessity of life, it was inevitable to encounter robbers on the road, and the convoy was escorted by a dart master.

When night falls, it is not wise to travel in the night, after all, the current mountains and forests are not like modern times, and fierce beasts are often present.

So Jiang Yuanliu ordered the entire convoy to stop and rest, burn a bonfire, and build a stove to cook.

"Miss, we still have five days to reach Cangzhou, there are already displaced people along the way, we need to be cautious." The dart head admonished Jiang Yuanliu with a solemn expression.

Jiang Yuanliu nodded, "The closer we get to Cangzhou, the more we have to be careful, once we can't eat, there will be people who take risks, I heard that there are many bandits in this mountain, there have been merchants who have encountered robbers here, and I am annoyed that Mr. Wu will send people to patrol at night." ”

Wu Zhenhai immediately agreed, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I have divided the brothers into three teams and take turns to be on duty at night. ”

Although Wu Zhenhai didn't understand why the entire convoy was dominated by one woman, he knew that the convoy was transporting disaster relief food raised by Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis in the capital, and the royal family and nobles could not afford to provoke him as a dart master.

And although this Miss Jiang is a woman, she has a neat and sharp temperament, without the twisting and pinching posture of Miss Beijing, and she has worked very hard along the way, and she has never complained at all.

This made Wu Zhenhai take a high look, so sometimes Wu Zhenhai was willing to discuss with Jiang Yuanliu.

The three wolves howled all night, to say that they were not afraid, it was fake, packs of wild wolves, if they attacked the convoy, more than 20 dart masters might not be able to resist.

At midnight, Jiang Yuanliu was woken up by a shaker after pushing it.

"Yuanliu!" The man's deep voice came into Jiang Yuanliu's ears, hoarse but magnetic.

Jiang Yuanliu didn't have any thoughts, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Zhao Jinhuai through the moonlight, only to see that Zhao Jinhuai's eyes were deep, and her eyebrows were worried.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuanliu was a little surprised, and then thought that Zhao Jinhuai might also be worried that the convoy was attacked by wild wolves, so he said: "The fierce beasts in the mountains are afraid of hot pot, and the fire around the convoy is not extinguished, and those wild wolves will not go down the mountain to attack people." ”

Zhao Jinhuai shook his head slightly, "The situation is not right, the wolf howl has not stopped in the first half of the night, but are you listening to any movement outside now?" ”

Jiang Yuanliu frowned, immediately listened intently, and then his expression became serious, "There is no movement outside, I'm afraid there is someone in the dark, nine times out of ten it is a robber in the mountains, I will order the convoy to be on guard." ”

Zhao Jinhuai's brows furrowed even tighter, "It shouldn't be like this, my men and horses have been hiding in the shadows, if there are really robbers who covet the property of the convoy, my men and horses will be the first to deal with these robbers." ”

"You mean it's not robbers who hide in the shadows?" Jiang Yuanliu frowned, she was extremely suspicious of how many people Zhao Jinhuai had.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the sky, making it particularly clear in the silent forest, and the patrolling dart divisions were all on alert, shouting loudly, waking up the sleeping people of the convoy.

"It's my men who keep watch." Zhao Jinhuai's eyes flashed.

"It seems that there should be a large number of robbers, and His Highness's manpower does not dare to move without permission, so I can only remind that His Highness might as well take advantage of the chaos to join his people." Jiang Yuanliu proposed.

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhao Jinhuai nodded immediately.

Jiang Yuanliu jumped up from the car, "Your Highness sees the opportunity to act, I will help the guards resist the mountain bandits!"

Although it is said to be resisting the mountain bandits, in fact, Jiang Yuanliu wants to attract the attention of the guards sent by Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis, and those dart masters Jiang Yuanliu are not worried, but she can't help but ignore the four guards sent by Mrs. Xuanwu Marquis.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yuanliu's words fell, he heard a man's voice outside.

"Miss Jiang, there are mountain bandits looting, I will come to protect Miss Jiang's safety." It was the guards of the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion who spoke, wearing armor and holding a red tassel spear, not very old but full of momentum.

Jiang Yuanliu glanced at Zhao Jinhuai, and then jumped down from the carriage, "I don't need your protection, the most important thing now is to repel the robbers and protect the convoy well, I am not a powerless Miss Jiao, our master and servant will fight the enemy with you!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuanliu took out a spear from the carriage, and then said to Teng Zhuyue: "Let's not let these stinky men look down on them month by month, let them see, women are not pitiful little ones who only need to be protected!" ”

"Ahem, Miss Jiang, I didn't mean that......" Song Yuanshu blushed.

"What are you doing with the grinding and chirping? The robbers are coming, and you are wearing armor, so don't rush forward. Jiang Yuanliu frowned, his tone dissatisfied.

Song Yuanshu and the four of them really didn't take the upcoming robbers seriously, they were all a group of rabble, what kind of climate could they become?

"Miss Jiang, please rest assured, the dart bureau of the escort convoy is a well-known quartet dart bureau in the capital, and these more than 20 people are the elites among them, and the four of us are the first-class guards of the Hou Mansion, and it is not difficult to deal with those rabble!"

Song Yuanshu's expression was very proud, the guards of the four Hou Mansion were wearing sturdy armor, and they were holding sharp blades in their hands, although the weapons of those dart masters in the Quartet were not very good.

But against the robbers who can only cower in the mountains, they are too strong!

"Don't underestimate the enemy! These mountain bandits are entrenched in the mountains, they are very familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and they are all some bandits who do not want to die, they are afraid of their lives, and you know the truth that the arrogant soldiers are undefeated!"

Regarding the attitude of Song Yuanshu and the others, Jiang Yuanliu couldn't help frowning, although she wanted to lure away the guards of the Marquis of Xuanwu's mansion so that Zhao Jinhuai and his men could reconcile.

But Jiang Yuanliu also attaches great importance to the team, so he naturally doesn't want Song Yuanshu and others to be careless.

"What Miss Jiang said is reasonable, and I will be taught." Song Yuanshu admired Jiang Fengmao, the protector of the country, very much, so for Jiang Fengmao's only daughter Aiwu and Wu, plus Jiang Yuanliu did have real materials, he admired it more and more.

But the other three guards of the Marquis of Xuanwu Mansion just didn't care very much, and the guard with a long beard said in a hurry: "The little woman is timid and afraid, but she is just a group of mountain rats, and she is far worse than the grandfathers. ”

Song Yuanshu frowned, "Shut up, Miss Jiang was personally invited by Madame to manage the convoy, and we are all guards of the Hou Mansion, just try to obey Miss Jiang's actions, and dare to say half a word more, be careful that I report to the Hou Ye!" ”

"Phew, it's an arrow with chicken feathers! You don't have a little cub with all the hair, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of your grandfather, when your grandfather was on an errand for Hou Ye, you were still breastfeeding! ”

The mustachioed guards didn't take Song Yuanshu seriously at all.

"Lao Zhou, have you drunk too much!" The other two guards hurriedly grabbed Lao Zhou, this Song Yuan Shu is a guard like them, and he is on an errand in the mansion of the Marquis of Xuanwu.

But Song Yuanshu's father is the housekeeper of the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, and the big butler in front of the Marquis of Xuanwu is not much worse than those big officials outside!

"Shut up! The robbers are coming!"

Jiang Yuanliu had been following behind a few people, and naturally she could hear what they said clearly, but she didn't want to argue with the guards of the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion at such a time.

On the other side, he had already gotten the news that there was a big fat sheep passing by his territory, so Guan Dadao lit up the people and horses to wait for the rabbit, and the brother who let the wind sent the news, knowing that a convoy was coming, Guan Dadao immediately led people to ambush.

The mighty convoy was covered with black cloth, and by looking at the rut marks, he knew that it was full of good things, and Guan Dadao drooled all over the ground, ready to do it when it was ugly.

The dart masters of the team are all old fritters who come and go in the wind and rain, and they will not relax their vigilance at night, and there are patrols at all times, but there are always times when people are sleepy, and ugly times are the most sleepy times.

But before he could get ugly, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the mountain, and Guan Dadao immediately realized that it was not good, and this whistle would definitely arouse the vigilance of the convoy.

Guan Dadao didn't have the opportunity to think about which Wang Ba Lizi was bad for his good deeds, so he could only send someone to pass the order, and took the lead in rushing down from the mountain with a big knife, and the other brothers got his order and killed them in all directions.

"Kill!"

The murderous mountain bandits rushed over, Wu Zhenhai gasped, this is not a small group of bandits, looking at these horses and equipment, they must be the most powerful mountain bandits within a radius of 100 miles.

"Brothers, be careful! Kill me! Wu Zhenhai shouted angrily and rushed out first.

For a while, the sound of killing in the mountains shook the sky, and the beasts and birds in the mountains were all frightened away, except for the fighting sounds of the two sides, there was no other sound in the mountains.

Jiang Yuanliu frowned, there are many people on the other side, it seems that there are no less than fifty people, and there are many people running down from the mountain in a steady stream, and there are only thirty people on his side, even if they are elite soldiers, they can't stop ants from biting elephants to death.

If Jiang Yuanliu was only worried about whether you Zhao Jinhuai could get out just now, and didn't regard these mountain bandits as opponents, then now Jiang Yuanliu has completely seen his situation clearly.

"Wu Darthead, this will definitely not work, there are too many people on the other side, I observed that there are still people rushing over on the west side, and we can't resist it." Song Yuanshu's voice was hurried, and while resisting the machete of the landscape, he discussed with Wu Zhenhai.

Wu Zhenhai's face was covered with blood, he wiped a handful of blood blocking his eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "Kill!" It really couldn't stop us, so we abandoned the car and fled. ”

There is really no way to do this, the number of the other party is too much, Wu Zhenhai suspects that the attack on the convoy is definitely not a group of mountain bandits, it is very likely that multiple mountain bandits cooperate.

If this is the case, these twenty or so brothers will definitely not be able to resist it with their dart game alone.

At this moment, Wu Zhenhai saw black smoke coming out of the bonfire, and he suddenly secretly said that it was not good, he had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knew that some mountain bandits had their own skills, and it was not for nothing that they were good at using poison.
