Chapter 77: Bandits

……

"Count them!" Liu Zhibang gestured to Amu.

"One, two, three...... Ninety-nine, one hundred, counted, one hundred gold coins. After Ah Mu finished counting, he put the gold coins back into the money bag and put them on the table in front of Liu Zhibang.

Liu Zhibang said in embarrassment: "Oh, you have less money!" ”

When Qi Liu heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, Patriarch Liu, what Young Master Qi said in his letter is a hundred gold coins, here is a hundred, and there is no one missing......"

Liu Zhibang said coldly: "I said that if you are less, you will be less, come on, bring Qi Kun and Qi Ming up!" ”

"Third Master Qi, what, why was Third Master Qi caught by you again!" Qi Liu and Qi Le were even more shocked when they heard this.

Soon, several soldiers brought Qi Kun and Qi Ming in, threw them on the ground and retreated.

"Qi Kun, Qi Ming, how have you been doing lately!" Liu Zhibang asked coldly.

Qi Ming raised his head, only to see that his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were cloudy, and only skin and bones were left in his body, and he was dirty and smelly, but he heard his weak voice say: "Patriarch Liu, it's good, let's eat well......

On the other side, Qi Kun heard Qi Ming's voice, and also raised his head, looked in the direction of Liu Zhibang with his eyes that were deeply in his sockets, and said, "Liu Zhibang, you kid will give you a good time...... Let me be fed and hit the road......"

"Third Master, Young Master Ming!"

"Well, why is this sound so familiar!" Qi Kun turned his head vigilantly and said.

"It's us, I'm Qi Liu, this is Qi Le, woo...... Woo...... Third Master, Young Master Ming, you have suffered! Qi Liu and Qi Le pretended to cry, but they didn't shed a single tear in their eyes covered by their hands for a long time.

"Qi Liu...... Qi Le...... Ah......" Qi Kun wanted to reach out to help Qi Liu, but before Qi Liu could catch up, Qi Kun fell to the ground and fainted.

"Well, well, I see, I said that the money you brought is not enough, a hundred gold coins can only redeem one, you choose, which one to choose?"

"Patriarch Liu, this ......" Qi Liuyi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Liu Zhibang put on a fair and just appearance and said: "Otherwise, I, Liu Zhibang, am also a reasonable person, since you brought the money, I will release people, originally I only put one according to the agreement, but because you didn't know in advance, I have a compromise ......"

"What's the solution?" Qi Liu hurriedly asked.

Liu Zhibang stood up and said, "In order to show the goodwill of all my Han people to the Qi family, I have decided to personally escort Qi Kun and Qi Ming to Xia Yuancheng and personally go to get the remaining one hundred gold coins......"

"Ahh Patriarch, don't ......" all the elders in the hall objected loudly when they heard this.

……

Liu Zhibang looked at the gradually gentleness of the mountain and said, "Lu Er, how long will it take to get to Xia Yuan City?" ”

Lu Erce approached Liu Zhibang's side and replied: "Patriarch, after turning over the mountain in front of you, there is a plain in front of you, and you can reach Xia Yuan City in two days." ”

Ah Meng also rode his horse to Liu Zhibang's side and said, "Patriarch, why did you let Qi Kun and Qi Ming go, didn't you say that none of them wanted to return to Xia Yuan City?" ”

Liu Zhibang looked at the Qi family who were walking more than a hundred meters in front, smiled coldly, and said, "Are you in Xia Yuan City now?" ”

Ah Meng asked puzzledly, "Isn't this about to reach the boundary of Xia Yuan City?" Do you want to take them back again? ”

Liu Zhibang smiled noncommittally and no longer answered Ah Meng, Ah Meng felt a little depressed, and kept talking to himself: "I said that I wouldn't let them go back, but now I don't talk anymore." ”

Lu Er took a few steps behind and whispered to Ah Meng: "Ah Meng, when did the patriarch talk and not count?" ”

Ah Meng thought for a while and said, "No, what do you mean by that?" ”

Lu Er continued: "Look, the patriarch will always have a way to cure these two animals......"

Ah Meng looked at the long team of horses behind him, there were more than a hundred mules and horses, most of the Han mules and horses had been pulled out, in addition to nearly eighty elite soldiers of the Han army each riding a horse, there were fifty or sixty mules and horses carrying heavy burdens on their backs.

Ah Meng looked at Liu Zhibang in front of him and seemed to be browsing the scenery along the way, and didn't pay attention to them, so he asked Lu Er again: "Second brother, why did the patriarch bring so many things, do you know what they are loading?" ”

Lu Er smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm sorry, keep it secret!" ”

Ah Meng glanced at Lu Er: "Go, virtue...... If you don't tell me, won't I go and see ...... myself"

"Ah Meng, go ahead and explore the way!"

As soon as Ah Meng wanted to peek at what was in those baggage, Liu Zhibang's voice sounded, and Ah Meng had to turn around.

Seeing that Ah Meng was far away, Lu Er approached Liu Zhibang and said, "Patriarch, in fact, not only Ah Meng wants to know, but I also want to know what you are bringing so many things for?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't take long for you to know......" Liu Zhibang didn't answer his question directly, as if he was waiting for something.

Over a mountain beam, the horse team walked out of the jungle, suddenly in front of a flat, slightly higher place, a glance can see more than ten kilometers or even more far, everyone is happy, some people can't help singing mountain songs, for a while the atmosphere is lively.

After walking a few miles forward, suddenly Ah Meng rode back on his horse, followed by the Qi family.

Liu Zhibang asked, "Ah Meng, what's going on in front of you?" ”

Ah Meng stopped the horse in front of Liu Zhibang's horse and said, "As soon as I walked through the woods, I saw two teams of men and horses fighting on the official road in front of me, and the Qi family was so frightened that they retreated. ”

"Patriarch Liu, there are bandits ahead, let's avoid them!" Qi Liu rode a horse and ran at the front and shouted to Liu Zhibang.

"Prepare for battle!"

Lu Er issued a battle order, and dozens of heavily armed knights unsheathed their swords and guns.

With a wave of Liu Zhibang's hand, dozens of knights swept forward in a goose-shaped formation, and the Qi family followed behind the Han knights in horror.

"Let's go to the front and take a look, and the others will stand by!" Liu Zhibang pointed to Ah Meng and Lu Er, and the three of them rode through the jungle.

"Kill......"

"You bandits, you are really bold, even my heroic dart bureau dares to rob it, and take your life to ......" A fierce voice came from afar.

Another gruff voice continued, "Huh...... Whatever bullshit you have, I'll grab you to drink the northwest wind...... Brothers, give it to me, kill them all, let's eat meat in large chunks and drink wine in big bowls! ”

Liu Zhibang and the three dismounted at the edge of the jungle, and three hundred meters in front of them, two teams of men and horses were fighting, one of which was wearing tight samurai uniforms and tightly guarding a convoy. The attacking side is a group of ragged people, no different from the call of the son, this group of people has more than 100 people, although the weapons are mixed, but the morale is strong, and the number of the self-proclaimed heroic dart board is only more than 20 people, although all of them look mighty and majestic, but the situation is quite bad, I am afraid that they are outnumbered.
