Chapter 223: Ambush
It didn't take long for Mingmo to return.
"Childe, they've already sent someone to explore the way."
Gu Chengyu pondered, "You and Ming Yan also go to take a look, observe carefully, and see if there are any footprints." ”
If you want to go up the mountain to lay an ambush, you have to climb the mountain. On a flat road, you may find a way to cover your footprints, but there are always places missing on the mountain.
"Yes!" The two of them got out of the carriage with the order, and Gu Chengyu watched Mingmo and them quietly go up the mountain.
Although their light skills are not as good as Gu Chengyu, they are also great martial arts masters compared to the dart masters who can only do hard kung fu.
The convoy had stopped, and Sun Xian and the others didn't know what was going on, so they got out of the carriage and asked Gu Chengyu.
"What's going on? Why don't you go? Sun Xian climbed into Gu Chengyu's carriage and asked.
"It may be that the dart bureau has sent spies to survey ahead, don't worry, you should be able to leave immediately."
Gu Chengyu has good eyesight, and he has already seen the people in the dart bureau running towards the team, shaking his hands while running, it should be fine.
If you see an ambush ahead, there should be some other code to prepare the convoy. However, why haven't they come over yet?
The convoy began to move forward again, and Sun Xian jumped out of the carriage and walked back.
After walking for a while, Gu Chengyu saw Ming Mo rushing towards this side from a distance.
"Childe! There are thieves in ambush ahead. Mingmo no longer hid his figure, passed the coachman, and with a light touch of his toes, he got into the carriage.
"Oops!" The coachman was startled, he didn't even find out when Mingmo went out.
Gu Chengyu's eyes froze, "How many people are on the other side?" ”
"The little ones took a few looks, afraid that they would come back first if they found out, there should be about twenty people, but those people don't look like ordinary bandits."
Mingmo frowned, contemplating as she spoke.
Ming Yan also came back from the mountain, "Childe! Those people are really not right, I don't think they are a rabble, they all have knives in their hands, and some people have bows and arrows, and their faces are covered. ”
"Oh? Without further ado, you go ahead with me and make it clear to Wu Darthead. ”
Gu Chengyu was afraid that these people were coming towards these boxes, so wouldn't they have suffered an unwarranted disaster?
Hurriedly took Mingmo and them, flew out of the carriage, and flew towards the head of the dart in front.
"Wu Darthead, don't go any further." Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and said, he was also afraid of startling the snake.
Before Wu Darttou could see what it was, he heard Gu Chengyu's shout, and hurriedly reined in the horse, and Gu Chengyu happened to stand in front of the horse.
"Gu Gongzi?" He was shocked, could it be that the three masters and servants flew from behind?
No, this can't be, he must be dazzled, maybe he didn't pay attention, Gu Gongzi and they just ran faster.
"Wu Darttou, please listen to me, there is an ambush ahead, we can't go over. The terrain in front is dangerous, as long as we enter the canyon, it will be the enemy on the back of the abdomen. ”
After listening to Gu Chengyu's words, Wu Darttou felt even more incredible.
He had already sent someone to the front to investigate, and there was nothing unusual at all. It's freezing this day, and the bandits must be nesting in the cottage for the winter!
The winter in the north is very cold, not to mention the bandits, there are very few traders who even go out, how can there be bandits who come out to intercept darts on such a day?
Wu Darttou didn't see Gu Chengyu's movements clearly just now, and thought that he was running from behind.
"How did Gu Gongzi know that there was an ambush in front of him? I've sent the spies of the dart bureau just now, but I haven't found anyone. ”
Wu Darttou was a little dissatisfied with Gu Chengyu's delay in the trip, and also thought that Gu Chengyu was a weak scholar, but he wanted to criticize the dart game?
Gu Chengyu knew that if he didn't come up with some evidence, Wu Darthead wouldn't believe it.
"Wu Darttou, my entourage has good martial arts, they went to investigate just now, and there are about 20 people in ambush in front of them."
Gu Chengyu glanced at Mingmo and let Mingmo show off his light skills.
"It's clumsy, Gu Gongzi's entourage is really not weak."
Wu Dart was overjoyed, he was very yearning for light skills, but it was a pity that they were not martial arts people, and they didn't inherit it if they wanted to learn light skills.
I didn't expect this Gu Gongzi's entourage to be so good, so it seems that this Gu Gongzi is not simple.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, we should do our best to deal with the bandits now."
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless, is it time to envy good kung fu? At the moment of the great enemy, shouldn't it be a matter of small lives?
Wu Darttou was now upright, "Then our convoy can't go inside, and now it's too late to turn around, so we can only resist." Let's go north and south, and we also have a name on the road, these thieves may just want to get some money, and wait for me to send someone to talk about peace. ”
The dart game is dartful, and the person who encounters the robber will not immediately come to a fight. They have walked this road no less than dozens of times, as long as they report their names and pay some money, the mountain bandits should not embarrass them.
Gu Chengyu felt that Wu Darttou was a little taken for granted, according to what Mingmo said, these people were holding bows and arrows in their hands, and they were still masked, not like ordinary mountain bandits, but they were afraid that it would be unfair to give some money.
"Wu Darthead, these people have bows and arrows in their hands, and some people still have knives in their hands, so let's be fully prepared."
Wu Darttou frowned when he heard this, obviously he also thought that the purpose of the mountain bandits was to make money, and they generally did not bring bows and arrows, and ordinary mountain bandits should not have bows and arrows.
The convoy stopped halfway down the road, and the mountain bandits hiding on the mountain were a little helpless.
"My lord! What's going on? Why didn't they come? One of the masked bandits shouted at the leader.
"I don't know, did you find us?" The leading mountain bandit also felt very strange, it had passed a stick of incense, and he didn't come down to rest, why did he stop in the middle of the road?
"We're hiding so closely, how can they find out? Besides, there was a spy just now, and he obviously didn't find us. ”
The convoy was still some distance away from them, and the bandits only saw the convoy stop, and as for the reason why the convoy stopped, they were far away and could not see clearly.
"Maybe they're suspicious, so let's wait. In this way, let Zhang San take the two of them to pretend to be a businessman, and ride over here to see if they can cancel their suspicions, and they can just meet us inside and outside. ”
The leader thought of a way, since the convoy was suspicious, then let people pretend to be businessmen, pass by here, and the convoy should be able to eliminate suspicions.
"According to me, what are those people capable of? A small dart game, it is estimated that there are only a few good players, let's rush up like this, they will definitely not be able to parry, and they still want to keep the silver? Just found such a broken dart game, aren't we ready to catch it? ”
One of the mountain bandits was very disdainful of the dart master of the dart game, and in his opinion, those people had no real skills.
"Li Si, the master of this mission has explained, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we naturally have to deal with it carefully, and we must not take it lightly."
