These people in front of them are all five big and three thick, they are not small, and everyone is holding knives, bows and arrows, and some even have tattoos on their faces, all of them are fierce and vicious, and they are not ordinary people in the local area at first glance.

Lao Zhou couldn't help but be frightened when he saw it, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi back, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Qi, let's find the county master first, don't make trouble." ”

But where did Xiao Qi want to take the initiative to cause trouble, after all, the mark given by Lu Li was interrupted here, and after he called out a few times, such a group of people came out of the cave, and he naturally wanted to step forward and ask.

Besides, although these people look big, judging from the way they walk and their snort, martial arts are far below him, and he has nothing to fear.

Therefore, Xiao Qi pressed Lao Zhou's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to ask, I will definitely not conflict with them, you stand in the back, don't affect you later." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Qidu stepped forward, his face was sad and joyless, and said, "Who are you?" How did it end up in this mountain? ”

"Who do you care who we are!" The big man at the head stepped forward and shouted with an unkind face: "Do we have anything to do with you anywhere?" What are you yelling about?! Go back to where you came from, don't disturb your grandfather and me to rest! ”

After speaking, the big man waved the half-meter-long machete in his hand, intending to scare Xiao Qi away.

But Xiao Qi looks young, but he is not a vegetarian, seeing that this big man is not talking cleanly, his eyes narrowed, he picked up a stone from the ground casually, and hit the big man in the face with a wave of his wrist.

The big man only saw Xiao Qi bending over, and didn't pay attention to the movements of his hands, so he couldn't help laughing: "Your grandson still knows that I bow to your grandfather, it's good, yes-ah!" ”

The stone struck the big man's face hard, and in the blink of an eye, a line of warm blood flowed from the corner of the big man's forehead.

The big man frowned, and hurriedly reached out to touch the position of the corner of his forehead, but he didn't want to touch the bright red blood on his hand, he was very angry, roared, and shouted: "Grandma's! You little bunny still dare to hit me?! Brothers, give it to me! ”

After speaking, the person who followed the big man picked up the guy, shouting and was about to rush in the direction of Xiao Qi.

Lao Zhou was so frightened that he retreated straight back, almost tripping over a stone, but Rao was like this, and he didn't dare to stop half a step, for fear that those people would rush up and hurt him.

Even if he walks in the mountains all the year round, he is afraid to see such a big man! What's more, the other party's group of people has a weapon in their hands, where is their opponent!

In a panic, Lao Zhou hid behind a big tree, he was so frightened that his heart beat faster, he looked left and right, and he didn't even see the figures of Xiao Qi and others, he was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Qi and others, so he plucked up his courage and stretched out his head to look forward.

But when he saw it, Lao Zhou was startled again.

I saw that the weapons in the hands of the group of big men were scattered all over the place, the originally majestic group of people were easily subdued, and a few had already fled, and the only remaining big man was also slammed to the ground by Xiao Qi's neat over-the-shoulder throw, screaming for a long time, and couldn't even get up.

Lao Zhou's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he thought: "Good girl, what kind of people are these people!" Martial arts are so high!

"Go to the cave and see, you are here to watch! Don't let these people escape, you know? ”

After the order, Xiao Qi ran to the edge of the tree where Lao Zhou was hiding, patted the slap that was glued with a little dirt, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, come out with confidence, those people have been subdued, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Lao Zhou swallowed his saliva, walked out, looked at Xiao Qi carefully, and then wondered: "I see that you are very thin, but I didn't expect to be so able to fight." I am really impressed! ”

"Brother Zhou's praise, I am the kung fu of a three-legged cat, I am not worthy of your praise." Xiao Qi scratched his head embarrassedly and said modestly.

While the two were talking, the secret guard who had gone to the cave to find someone had also returned.

Xiao Qi didn't care about talking to Lao Zhou, so he hurriedly greeted him, and said anxiously: "What's the matter, is there anyone inside?" ”

The dark guard first glanced at the big guy who was lying on the ground, and when he saw the other party's flashing gaze, he shook his head and said regretfully, "No, they shouldn't be here." ”

After speaking, the dark guard said again: "Xiao Qi, these people don't know what they are doing, they just speak a little rushed, you let them go, otherwise it will only delay us to find someone." ”

As soon as Xiao Qi heard this, his anger rose upward, and when he was about to get angry, he suddenly noticed that the secret guard standing opposite was blinking at him.

As soon as he wondered, the anger dissipated without a trace.

At this moment, the man persuaded again: "Xiao Qi, you let them all go, looking at their appearance, it seems that they are just here to hunt in the mountains, and they have nothing to do with us." I've already taught you a lesson, so you'd better let them go. ”

As he said this, the man deliberately raised his voice so that the men who were lying on the ground could hear it.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, the big man rolled over and begged: "Yes, yes, this little brother, just now our brothers talked too badly!" We will kowtow to you to make amends, just ask you to let us go! ”

According to Xiao Qi's past character, it is absolutely impossible to let go of these people, but I don't know what's wrong today, that person has been winking at himself, as if hinting at himself.

He was in a mess, and he couldn't care about being angry with this group of people, so he raised his hand and let everyone go.

Seeing those people walking farther and farther, Xiao Qi couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, why did you let me let them go?" Did they really not find their masters in the cave? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Li came out with Xiaoman on his back, and said: "Those people are bandits on Liquan Mountain, if we don't let them go, we can't get out." ”

"Master! Madam? Xiao Qi was full of surprise, looking back, and saw the jade who was supported by the leader, Xiao Qi scratched his head, and wanted to rush over immediately, but he was a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people, so he had to lower his voice and asked: "Jade?" Are you alright? ”

Xiao Man, who was lying on Lu Li's back, raised his lips and smiled, teasing: "Are you asking us?" Or do you specifically ask about jadeite? ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding secret guards and Lao Zhou all laughed lowly, and Jade's smiling face turned red, looking like she wanted to bury her head in the ground, and she was embarrassed to respond for a while.

"Okay, I won't tease you, everyone pack up and hurry down the mountain." Lu Li said: "It's not early, if we don't go down the mountain, we may really have to spend the night here tonight." ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhou hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, everyone, hurry up and clean up and follow me!" ”

After tossing back and forth several times, Lao Zhou became more and more familiar with this road, and the road that he walked back and forth every day in the past was not as fast as the familiar toss of today's day, and he himself was a little surprised.

After taking the group down the mountain, it was already completely dark.

Pearl had been waiting at the foot of the mountain with the doctor for a long time, and when she heard the sound of laughter, she jumped down from the carriage in a hurry, and then rushed to the end of the only path, anxiously waiting for Xiao Man and the others.

When she saw that Xiao Man was being carried by Lu Li, and Jade was also taken down on Xiao Qi's shoulder, her eyes were red in a hurry, and she rushed forward in three or two steps, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Why are they all hurt, ma'am, Jade, are you all right? ”

"It's just a sprained foot, don't worry." Saying that, Xiao Man was put into the carriage by Lu Li, and the pearl on the side saw this and hurriedly got into the carriage to help Xiao Man, so that the other party could go to the carriage to receive the doctor's treatment.

helped Xiaoman, and Pearl then came out to help Jade, and it was easy to help both of them into the carriage.

The sky was getting darker and darker, Lu Li found a secret guard to send Lao Zhou home, and then asked the other secret guards to go back to the hut on the outskirts first, as for him, he took the leader and Xiao Qi back to the county lord's mansion.

After returning home, Xiao Man and Jade were helped by the maids to their respective bedrooms to take medicine, while Lu Li took two secret guards to the study.

The leader told Lu Li what he overheard in the cave, and then said: "But when it came to the critical moment, Xiao Qi suddenly came with someone, so that I couldn't hear who the bandit leader was talking to. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "How did I know that those people inside were talking about this, and they were looking for you at that time." ”

Lu Li waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, he shifted his gaze behind the leader of the dark guard, frowned and asked seriously: "You can really hear it, are you sure they said that they will come to the mansion to rob Wangshu in a few days?" ”

"That's right." The leader nodded firmly, and said, "I was a little surprised at that time, so I made a special move closer, and the person who said this said it several times, I will definitely not be mistaken." ”

After speaking, he said with some concern: "Master, do you want to be in the mansion these days, otherwise in case-"

"No, you don't." Lu Li's categorical refusal evoked a sinister smile, "Didn't they want to kidnap Wangshu?" Do you want to detain it for a while longer? Then I'll follow their wishes and see what they want to do! ”

Hearing this, the leader and Xiao Qi glanced at each other, and they were a little stunned.

Xiao Qi frowned, and asked carefully: "Master, the son of the world is not yet five years old!" Even if you want to catch a big fish with a long line, you shouldn't use Shizi as bait! ”

Lu Li raised his lips and smiled, and raised his eyebrows, "Who told me that I was going to use my own children as bait?" ”

"That's... Even if it's using other people's children as bait, doesn't it seem like it's good? Xiao Qi bit his lip and whispered with his eyebrows twisted.
