Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fall

Li Jingshan didn't know at this time that a letter from home would cause such a huge change. She was lying on the small table writing a new family letter, chatting with Ye Qing on the side, "There are still two days to go, so it's time to go to Linchuan, right?" ”

"Well, you will be able to get out of this Bifeng Mountain boundary about today," Ye Qing looked out the window, "If you get out of the mountain road and go to the official road, it will be safe, but you can get to Linchuan in one day." ”

Li Jingshan smiled: "It's finally safe and sound, it seems that General Zhenxi's deterrent power is not small, but it can be used as a talisman." ”

"Deterrence can also be counterproductive,"

Ye Qing raised a finger and shook it, lowered his face, approached Li Jingshan, and said in a low voice: "If I were those bandits, I would take advantage of the fact that the army has not yet arrived, hurry up and go back to my hometown." How can you let go of this last chance to make a fortune? ”

Li Jingshan's face changed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Ye Qing straightened up and laughed, "I deliberately scared you, so you can believe it!" ”

"............" Li Jingshan was just about to blame him for joking, when she heard a panicked commotion outside, followed by the sound of people shouting in horror.

Ye Qing and Li Jingshan looked at each other and changed color. Ye Qing said incredulously: "Isn't it...... I'm such a crow's mouth?! ”

Li Jingshan didn't care about arguing with him, and hurriedly lifted the curtain, and heard the entourage who was driving the car shouting: "Get out of the car quickly!" The bandits are coming, and the shopkeeper often asks everyone to abandon the car and hide! ”

The two of them hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to Chang Yong's side with their entourage. There were eight of them, and only two bodyguards had learned martial arts, carrying steel knives to escort everyone to the woods on the side of the road to hide.

Everyone was frightened when they ran, and those bandits cut people when they saw them, which can be described as extremely ferocious. They even quickened their pace to dodge. It's just that there are a lot of grass and trees and gravel on the road, and the running is not fast, and it doesn't go far before the bandits catch up. The two bodyguards hurriedly raised their knives to meet the enemy, and the rest of the people ran desperately.

Li Jingshan panted behind Ye Qing, and only heard the sound of the wind and her own heartbeat in her ears. Out of the corner of the eye is the shadow of a green tree that flies by. The oxygen-deprived brain has only one thought, run, run.

She suddenly saw Ye Qing looking behind her in horror, suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand to pull her forward, and yelled, "Run!" ”

At that moment, she felt a cool breeze blowing on her back, and she was pulled by Ye Qing to staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground. She got up in horror, turned around, and saw Ye Qingzheng grabbing a bandit's hand, against his steel knife, scuffling with people, and yelling, "Run!" ”

Li Jingshan hesitated slightly, got up and ran. saw that the bandit broke free of Ye Qing's hand and slashed towards Ye Qing with a hideous face!

She watched the blood splatter, Ye Qing fell to the ground, and cried out in a lost voice: "Senior Brother Ye! ”

The bandit with the scar between his eyebrows smiled in front of her with a few steps, raised his knife and was about to cut, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled lewdly: "It's a girl." ”

As soon as the raised knife turned, the back of the knife fell on Li Jingshan's neck, and her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything.

——

Over there, Chang Yong and Zhang Mingjun retreated to the edge of the forest under the escort of bodyguards, but they couldn't stand the bandits' large number and fierceness. He saw that one of them had been cut down to the ground, and the other had been wounded, and he had to struggle to support himself.

Chang Yong ran forward a few more steps, and there was a whirring sound of breaking the sky behind him, and when he was dazzled by the head-on steel knife, he sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was going to die here today.

However, the next moment, he was stunned to see a long arrow coming out of the chest of the gangster in front of him, and blood splattered and sprinkled on his face. He saw the man fall straight in front of him, and fell to the ground in terror.

It took a while to hear a loud cheer, "General Zhenxi, General Zhenxi has arrived!" ”

Chang Yong watched a white horse coming towards him, and finally sat down on the ground with peace of mind. Immediately, the general, with his longbow, stopped beside him, looked down at him and asked slowly, "Is this gentleman all right?" ”

Chang Yong came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you general!" ”

The white-robed general nodded faintly, and rode forward to chase the Liukou. Chang Yong looked at the heroic posture of the horse, and sighed in his heart, General Zhenxi is really a young man with a heroic and extraordinary bearing!

After a while, when Chang Yong went to gather people, he found that the consequences were very serious!

Among the eight people in the group, except for him and Zhang Mingjun who were safe and sound, one bodyguard was killed, and the rest were injured, among which Ye Qing was slashed from the chest to the right shoulder. Although it was a skin injury, the wound was huge, and the blood loss was excessive, and the injury was the most serious.

Chang Yong counted the people and said in surprise: "Where is Ah Shan, where is Li Jingshan?" ”

Ye Qing raised her head weakly and said anxiously: "I'll run away with her, she's ...... I'm afraid that I will be captured by bandits. ”

Chang Yong's brain banged, it's over!

He listened to Ye Qing intermittently talk about the distress, and kept a calm face and didn't speak. It took a long time to make a decision: "Mr. Zhang took everyone to Linchuan City first. There the wounded should be recuperated, and the accounts should be audited. I immediately went to General Zhenxi and asked him to rescue Miss Li. You are waiting for my news in Linchuan City. ”

There was no better way for them to do what they had planned.

Chang Yong quietly pulled Zhang Mingjun again, and commanded in a low voice: "If we are in danger here, you repair the book and inform the owner of the head office." But don't talk to the third young master yet...... Wait for Miss Li to have definite news, and then make a decision. ”

Zhang Mingjun naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said, "I don't need to obey your orders, I also know how to deal with it." You can rest assured. ”

Chang Yongcai turned around and went to find General Zhenxi.

Zhenxi General Chu Tiankuo ordered his 5,000 elite soldiers to be stationed at the foot of the mountain, while counting the wounded and comforting the frightened travelers. He issued orders one by one in the military tent, some heralds came to tell him, some attacked travelers claimed to be the treasurer of the Jingbao Pavilion in the capital, and some urgently asked to see the general.

Chu Tiankuo hurriedly ordered someone to bring it in, and it turned out to be the person he saved today, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Chang Yongli met him with him several times, told him about his situation, and pleaded: "That girl is now taken captive to the mountain, and her life and death are unknown. She is also an employee of my Jingbao Pavilion, whether she is alive or dead, I always have to give her family an explanation. ”

Chang Yong bowed his hand solemnly and bowed to the end: "I implore the general to go up the mountain to encircle and suppress bandits, pay attention to one or two, if you can save people from fire and water, Jingbao Pavilion is grateful." Xiao Ke also mentioned that the girl's family thanked the general for his kindness. ”

Chu Tiankuo listened, and his brows tightened. His subordinates also came to report, saying that the bandits not only robbed money and property, but also robbed people, and the robbers were all young girls. It's clearly for bullying.

He immediately ordered the adjutant general to investigate how many people had been taken captive up the mountain, and then turned to Chang Yong and said: "Chang shopkeeper is a little safe, this general will definitely end this nest of tumors when he goes out this time." Those who were taken into exile must also be delivered. But the girl fell into the den of bandits...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to finish, so please appease her family. ”

Chang Yong also thought of this, his heart was heavy, he still thanked him, and asked the general to allow him to stay in the army and wait for news, but naturally Chu Tiankuo rejected it.

He had to give Chu Tiankuo the address of the Treasure Pavilion in Linchuan City, and repeatedly explained that he would wait for news there, and asked the general to send someone to announce it as soon as there was news.

Chu Tiankuo sent people out of the account, thinking that it was urgent to save people, so he immediately summoned his generals to study tactics.

However, according to local guides, the terrain of Bifeng Mountain is dangerous and complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After several years of operation, the bandit leader known as the Hun Tiandiao gathered two or three thousand people to build a cottage on a dangerous mountain.

After some analysis, I couldn't come up with a quick solution. Chu Tiankuo pondered for a long time, pressed his big palm on the marching map, and made a final decision: "If it is difficult to fight, it must be attacked, and if it is difficult to attack, it must be attacked!" The captives could not wait. Everybody go down and prepare, let's go into the mountain in two days! ”

Li Jingshan woke up in the darkness, found that her hands and feet were tied and thrown in a firewood room, and by the dim skylight, she saw four or five other girls in the same situation, almost all huddled in the corner and sobbing.

Her heart sank.

She slowly moved to sit against the wall, and secretly twisted her wrist to try to break free from the bondage, and then she thought of a plan to get out. While he was secretly arguing, the door of the firewood room suddenly opened.

"It's eaten, it's eaten!" A man yelled in a rough voice, put the crude food box in his hand on the ground, pointed at them, and said, "I tell you, this place is surrounded by cliffs, and the ditches are steep, and unless you grow wings and become birds, you will not want to escape!" If you are obedient, I will untie your hands. ”

As he spoke, his eyes widened, "If you have any crooked thoughts, I, Chen Si, will let you not even have to eat!" Do you understand? ”

The little girls nodded as if they were busy pecking rice. Chen Si went to untie the ropes on people's hands one by one, and when the girls untied their feet, they opened the food box and said, "Come and get it yourself, one bowl per person!" ”

Li Jingshan lowered her head and stepped forward, and saw a few broken bowls in the food box, containing some sweet potato and multigrain rice. She took a bowl and silently stepped aside.

The other girls also came forward to receive the food one after another, and some of them did not dare to eat it, but when they saw that someone had eaten, they hesitated to put the food in their mouths.

Chen Si waited for them to finish the meal, but did not leave immediately, but slowly paced in front of the girls, looking at it in a daze, he suddenly let out a lewd laugh, grabbed a girl's arm and pulled it, "This little lady looks good, play with the master!" ”

The girl's rice bowl fell to the ground, crying out in horror and struggling. However, he was carried on his shoulders by Chen Siyi and took the person out.

The door of the firewood room was closed again, and the girl's mournful cry, mixed with lewd laughter, still came in through the small window, and finally disappeared. The girls in the room put down the bowls uncomfortably. Someone sobbed quietly again.

Li Jingshan was silent for a while, then walked over and picked up the food that the girl had knocked on the ground and hid it in the corner. The girls looked at her in a daze, not knowing what she was going to do.
