Shangguan Ling also discovered the abnormality, pulled out the long sword on his side, looked around, and suddenly a cold arrow struck from the shadows, just stabbing the horse under his crotch.

"Hiss-" With a long howl, the horse raised its front hooves and fell to the ground, causing Shangguan Ling to fall, and just as he was about to get up, the knife rested on his neck.

Qian Qianqian turned her head and saw this scene, but she didn't stop at all, it wasn't that she didn't care about Shangguan Ling's life or death, it was that she had to quickly transport the grain to the edge of the broken intestine cliff, so that all of them, as well as this batch of grain, could have a glimmer of life.

As soon as Shangguan Ling was captured, the forests on both sides became lively, and more than 100 mountain bandits rushed out of it, all armed with long knives, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and their faces were hideous.

The officers and soldiers who accompanied her also picked up their weapons to resist, Qian Qianqian drew the long sword on her side and explored the way at the front, while Ling Zian solved her worries at the back.

Those mountain bandits didn't even want their lives in order to grab food, if it weren't for Ling Zi'an's accompaniment, this batch of grain would definitely not be saved.

Qian Qianqian drove the horse desperately, rushing forward without hesitation, I have to admit that the sweat and blood BMW is really extraordinary, even if those mountain bandits are stopping her in front, this horse has no fear, so that those mountain bandits can't stop it.

After some twists and turns, Qian Qianqian finally brought all the grain to the edge of the cliff, but the officers and soldiers who escorted the grain suffered many casualties, if there was no cliff, this batch of grain would definitely fall into the hands of the mountain bandits.

"Quick, push all the food to the edge of the cliff." Qian Qianqian's voice was a little hoarse, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, Ling Zi'an was on the side to protect her, and those mountain bandits were gradually approaching.

Now that all the grain has reached the edge of the cliff, as long as it goes a little further, the grain will fall into the cliff, and no one will get it at that time, so those mountain bandits will not dare to act rashly when they see this.

"Don't come here, or I'll give an order to push down all this grain and die with you."

Qian Qianqian's face was vigilant, but her speech was still magnificent, she raised her head, her eyes were full of arrogance, and she had no fear, compared with these men, except for her thinner body, she had no weakness.

"Let your village master come out, we have something to discuss with him, otherwise you won't get a single grain of these grains, and you will lose your lives in vain, I think you must be a mountain bandit, you must be to fill your stomach, you shouldn't be ignorant of current affairs, right?"

Ling Zi'an put away the sword in his hand and took a few steps forward, he was imprisoned by Ling Junda before, in order to save his life, he could only keep his light and keep his eyes open, even if his martial arts were not weak, he didn't dare to show it, now that Ling Junda's most of the rest of his sins have been eradicated, he doesn't have to hide it anymore.

Those mountain bandits looked at each other, they had inquired outside a few days ago, and said that a batch of grain was being transported here, so they were ambushed in the mountains and forests, and now they saw that they were about to succeed, so much food, they didn't want to fall short.

"You wait, I'll send someone to ask the owner of the village."

Soon, there was movement in the bandits, and the man who looked like a small leader spoke, and immediately glanced at the people next to him.

After a while, the mountain bandits gave way one after another, and a man slowly walked in from the outside under the gaze of the crowd, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, although he looked vulgar, but his eyes were very deep, revealing indescribable shrewdness and cunning.

"Leave the food, I can open the net and let you go."

The man spit out the dogtail grass from his mouth, stood in a loose and lazy position, and commanded coldly, his eyes sharp.

Qian Qianqian also got off the horse and walked to Ling Zi'an's side, Shangguan Ling was escorted by those mountain bandits and couldn't move, it seems that this group of mountain bandits is still measured, seeing Shangguan Ling riding a high-headed horse and dressing differently from ordinary officers and soldiers, he guessed that he should have an extraordinary identity, and it is likely to be useful to keep him, so he captured him alive.

"The owner of the village, the current situation in Xiao is not good, I think if you have other ways to live, you don't want to fall into the grass, last time you robbed a batch of military food from the imperial court, the government has already regarded you as a big trouble, sooner or later you will be surrounded and suppressed by the government, but we come back this time, just want to show you a clear way, I don't know if the owner of the village wants to know?"

Qian Qianqian raised her head, a light smile appeared on her lips, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were full of temptation, and her expression became subtle.

When the man heard this, his face suddenly changed, he had been in the grass for so long, Qian Qianqian was the first person to say such things to him, and he could see that Qian Qianqian's line of people was not small.

"Then why do you want to help us bandits? Judging by your dress and the horses you are riding, you are sweaty and bloody horses, you should be from the government, right? ”

That man is not a simple-minded person, no matter how tempting Qian Qianqian's words are, he will think twice before acting, and he will not let Qian Qianqian succeed easily.

"The owner of the village is wrong, there are people from the government among us, but I am an unofficial and unemployed, don't worry, we are not spies sent by the government, and we are negotiating terms with you, just to keep this batch of grain."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she saw that these mountain bandits were afraid of the government, so she skimmed herself cleanly, but she didn't expect this man to recognize this sweaty and bloody BMW, which shows that before falling into the grass, this man must have some identity.

"The owner of the village, you are also a smart person, you should know which is more important, the food is on the edge of the cliff at the moment, your people are definitely not as fast as our people, if the fish dies and the net is broken, none of us can fall well, it is better to listen to our ideas, if you think it will not work, it is not too late to do it then."

Ling Zi'an's eyes were deep, his tone was calm, but there was a little provocation, when he heard that there were mountain bandits here, he checked the origin of these mountain bandits, and he didn't know much about this village owner, but he also knew a rough idea, so he knew what to say and what not to say.

"Besides, our people are still in your hands, we won't even care about his life, the owner of the village, if you don't agree, you will regret it in the future."

Qian Qianqian saw that the man seemed to be loosened, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued to add oil and vinegar, and the mountain bandits all looked at the man, as if waiting for the man to make a final decision.

"Well, I promise you, and I'll listen to you."

The man pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was still calm on the surface and didn't show any of it.

"Under this gut-breaking cliff is an abyss, let your people come over first, if one is not careful, not only food, people may fall."

The man's gaze coldly swept over the grain not far away, and it sounded like it was for Qian Qianqian's good, but everyone could hear that there was fraud in it.

"The owner of the village, there are many of you, and we don't know how many of your people are in this mountain, so this grain should be left on the edge of the cliff for the time being, and when we make it clear, it will not be too late to let them come over."

Qian Qianqian was still silent, speaking very respectfully and humbly, her attitude was so good, the man couldn't refute her face in front of so many people, although she knew her intentions in her heart, she still took a step back.

"Our cottage is a little far away from here, if you come and go, I'm afraid it will take a lot of delay, if you don't mind, just discuss it with me here."

The man was also a shrewd man, and he was afraid that Qian Qianqian would make a plan to transport the grain, so it was better to put the grain under his nose.

"The owner of the village is really thoughtful, since this is the case, then please."

Qian Qianqian didn't refuse, she knew that this was already the man's bottom line, and now hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at these grains, she had to stabilize this village owner first.

There are a few boulders not far away, and it is also a place to stay, those mountain bandits are all surrounded by Qian Qianqian and Ling Zi'an five zhang away, firmly enclosed in a circle, if there is any change, it can make Qian Qianqian and Ling Zi'an unable to eat and walk around.

"Tell me, what the hell do you guys have in mind? I want to see what you can say to make me give up this bread and grass. ”

The man sneered, his eyes full of mockery, as if he was determined to get this batch of grain and grass.

"Lord Qinzhai, I know why you fell into the grass, in fact, you are also a person with great ambitions, there is no need to pretend to be this fierce and evil in front of us."

Ling Zi'an said lightly, just now he didn't reveal anything in his heart, and now since this man didn't mean to report to his family, then he won't hide it.

"You sent someone to check on me? Are you from the government? The man suddenly became vigilant, and looked at Ling Zi'an with murderous eyes in his eyes.

"The government doesn't have me as a person, I am the leader of the Cao Gang, Ling Zi'an, the owner of the village should have heard of it."

Ling Zi'an didn't hide it in the slightest, as soon as the words fell, I saw a thick surprise welling up in the man's eyes, as we all know, the Cao Gang has always been using water transportation, how could they escort food with the official on this land route?

"Could it be that your Cao Gang has returned to the imperial court? Now you're working for the court? The man then guessed, and his heart couldn't help but feel worried.

"The Cao Gang is still the Cao Gang, and it has not been submitted to anyone, I am not doing things for the imperial court, but for General Xiao, I can't hide it, this batch of grain and grass is taken to the frontier, the purpose is to make up for the batch of military food that was robbed by you before, if you rob this batch of grain and grass again, there will definitely be a big mess in that Xinjiang, even if General Xiao is in charge, it will not be able to resist for long."

Ling Zi'an's face gradually became solemn, and he spoke loudly and concisely, succinctly pointing out the stakes involved, and also letting the man know what evil he had created.

"So what, now that we people can't even fill our stomachs, we haven't eaten the last meal, if we don't grab food, sooner or later it will be a dead end, where can we manage so much? The court only thinks about winning the war, when did it care about the life and death of our people? ”

The man pondered for a moment, as if he had a grudge against the court, his forehead was covered with bruises, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to care about you, it's that it's more than enough and not enough, as long as General Xiao returns triumphantly, he will definitely give you justice, but if you continue to be a mountain bandit, it will be a dead end in the future."
