Chapter 330: The Ransacked Town
Young Master Xiao was completely at a loss, and the two girls were also afraid, "Young Master can't hesitate any longer, it's going to be dark soon, you can get an idea!" ”
Shu Tong hated him grinding and chirping, "A few of you went over to help drive the convoy, let's go!" ”
The bandits obeyed the words and immediately started to catch the car, and Young Master Xiao hurriedly said: "Miss Zhang think about it again, do you really want to go?" ”
Shu Tong glanced at him, "If you ink again, those few will really die!" ”
Seeing that the wheels were moving, Young Master Xiao couldn't, so he could only climb into the carriage!
Seeing that he was worried, the two girls persuaded beside him, "Miss Zhang is very powerful, so many bandits can't beat him, much more powerful than the dart master, it must be no problem to follow her!" ”
"Young master, even if we want to go back, we can't do it, let's follow Miss Zhang!"
The two girls persuaded him, and Young Master Xiao thought about it seriously, so he could only accept his fate.
The bandits, familiar with the terrain, quickly took them to a small town and found a medical hall to bring the wounded in.
I found an inn to stay overnight.
Early the next morning, Young Master Xiao appeared with two dark circles under his eyes, and Shu Tong looked at his weak chicken appearance and smiled helplessly.
"If you are really afraid, just take care of the wounded here, I will send these carts of medicinal materials for you, what is the name of your firm, and what tokens can I give to your father?"
Young Master Xiao was stunned and hurriedly said: "My family runs a Tongfu firm, my father Xiao Youfu, by the way, this, this is my jade pendant, as long as you hold my jade pendant, he can recognize it!" ”
Young Master Xiao hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his arms, and he didn't have to escort the medicinal materials himself, he was so happy!
The pampered son, he is really afraid to experience such a murderous scene!
As for whether Miss Zhang is credible or not, he doesn't dare to investigate it deeply, after all, if she hadn't made a move, this batch of medicinal materials would not have been able to be saved, and even his life would have been put into it.
Now I can only pray that the other party can keep his promise and give the medicinal herbs to his father, at least he can rest assured!
As for whether his father will be killed? Don't blame him for being unfilial, he can't do anything about it!
Shu Tong took the jade pendant and said with a smile, "In this way, I will become the dart master who delivers the goods for you!" Shouldn't you be paying? ”
Young Master Xiao didn't understand at all, and the girl hurriedly pushed him, "Young Master, you haven't given a deposit yet!" ”
Young Master Xiao was bitter in his heart, and asked the dart master to escort the goods, and he did have to give a deposit, provided that someone from their master's family followed.
Now that the goods have been completely handed over, there is no guarantee at all that the other party can keep its promise, these truckloads of medicinal materials may be lost, why do you have to pay for it?
But he didn't dare to say no, not to mention how powerful Miss Zhang was, the seven or eight bandits around her, all of them were eyeing each other, and none of them dared to mess with him!
hurriedly took out the silver ticket, "I, I don't have much on me, only, only five hundred taels, you, you see ......!" ”
"Then pay three hundred taels first, and ask your father for the rest of the goods when they arrive!"
Shu Tong thought that they still had to take care of the sick, and they couldn't take away all the money!
What else could Young Master Xiao do? The one who accepted his fate gave the money!
Leave a few cumbersome behind, and they will be able to hurry much faster.
After traveling more than 100 miles in a day, the bandits carefully waited for the female king all the way, and found that she was very fierce, but she always looked like she was smiling!
In the evening, the convoy came to a small town, and Zhang Shan arranged for his subordinates to go to the town in advance to book an inn.
"Female king! After the town in front of you, and then over a hill, you will almost reach the battlefield, and the army of King Zhao and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are on the bank of the Liuhe River! I heard that the armies of both sides fought fiercely, and now, they are all hanging up the war-free card! Do you think we're going to take a detour? ”
Detours? Dredging pondered.
Zhang Shan hurriedly said, "If you continue to take the official road, after the hill in front of you will be the camp of King Zhao's army!" ”
He was embarrassed and said, "The brothers have escaped from the pile of the dead, and we are afraid of being recognized!" When the time comes, it will not be good to even involve the female king! ”
It turned out to be a deserter under King Zhao's account!
"How do you take a detour?" Shutong didn't despise them, what about deserters, who didn't spare their lives!
Zhang Shan hurriedly said: "There is a small road to the left when you get out of the town, you can avoid the battlefield in front, and the brothers will not delay the time of the female king!" ”
Other bandits also joined in, and the deserters who were captured had only a dead end.
Shu Tong thought about it and agreed, and asked again: "By the way, the battlefield is not far from Ancheng, isn't there any troops on Ancheng's side?" ”
Zhang Shan said: "Brothers, I went to inquire, but I didn't dare to go deep into the battlefield in front of me, and I don't know the specific situation for the time being!" ”
At this time, a fast horse came running, "There is an accident in front of the female king!" ”
It's the bandit who booked the inn and he's back.
"What's wrong?"
At this moment, night fell, but there was no light in the town in the distance, and the silence was a little weird.
The bandit said with a slight panic: "All the people in the town are dead!" ”
Shu Tong's brows moved slightly, but Zhang Shan and the other bandits instantly figured out what was going on, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
"Check it out!" Shutong took the lead and rode into the town.
The town was just a more prosperous village, with the shops lining the roads wide open, and the smell of burning and blood in the air.
In the dim light of the setting sun, you can see the corpses lying in the room.
Shu Tong dismounted and walked into the inn on the side of the road, the bloody atmosphere was even stronger, the tables and chairs in the entire inn lobby were split, and a few people who should have run the inn died tragically at the door.
The smell of burnt paste came from the backyard.
Shu Tong's face was expressionless, "Go and see if there are any living people?" ”
The bandits scattered to check house to house, and Shutong entered the backyard of the inn.
The house here is almost burned out, and there are two charred corpses holding each other at the door, which should be the innkeeper!
His brows furrowed slightly, and he returned to the front, and at this time, Zhang Shan and other bandits also returned.
"The female king, the little ones have seen it, there are no living people in the town!"
"You guys clean up this place, and stay here tonight!"
Seeing the cold expression of the female king, the bandits hurriedly moved to carry the body out, and washed away the blood stains on the ground.
There was a bandit who was a good cook, and he went from house to house to collect some ingredients and barely made dinner.
After dinner, Shu Tong asked, "Are there a large number of bandits around here?" ”
Several bandits looked at each other and shook their heads a little embarrassedly, "I haven't heard of it!" ”
Zhang Shan already knew what the female king meant, and hesitated: "Actually, the security here is very good, that is, our brother doesn't want to go back to the battlefield to work hard, and he is afraid that escaping home will affect his family, so he temporarily hid in the nameless mountain, wanting to rob some property and fly away!" ”
Shutong glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Zhang Shan said again: "Actually, this town should not be attacked by bandits, if I guessed correctly, it should have encountered bandits!" ”
"Bandits?"
Zhang Shan smiled bitterly, "Not bad! In fact, soldiers and bandits are not separated! If Shangfeng deducts the food and salary of his head, some small leaders will come up with their own ideas and lead their subordinates to loot some villages and loot property, but under normal circumstances, they will not kill people on such a large scale! ”
