Chapter 23, such a mad man
Guan Sheng was already leaning on the sedan chair with a crooked body, listless, supporting his head with one hand, his eyes empty, as if he was going to fall asleep at any time.
Several burly men lifted the sedan chair and walked along a mountain trail towards the mountain.
After walking a few steps, Li Yuyi suddenly turned around and shouted loudly to Xu Jingning, who was still crying: "Jingning, don't worry, I'll come to see you when I go down the mountain! I hope you will call me by my name in the future! My name is Li Yuyi!hahahaha!!"
After Li Yuyi finished shouting these words, he quickly caught up with Guan Sheng, and several people quickly disappeared into the dense woods.
Walking on the hidden path, Li Yuyi suddenly remembered something, so he leaned next to the sedan chair and said to Guan Sheng: "Young master, when I left the lockdown city, I saw many imperial troops coming, I don't know why! When Miss Xiling is found, let's leave here!"
Li Yuyi was worried that these troops were sent by those who plotted rebellion to the west to search for the whereabouts of the new emperor, so he paid some attention and told Guan Sheng to take precautions.
Guan Sheng didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard Li Yuyi's words at all.
Seeing that Guan Sheng didn't react, Li Yuyi didn't say anything more, he knew Guan Sheng's personality and said little, but he was wise, since he informed him of this, he would definitely have arrangements.
"Ah!!! help!!"
However, the group did not go far when they suddenly heard a sharp cry for help from behind. Isn't it Xu Jingning's voice? This is not good! What serious thing happened?
As soon as he heard this voice, Li Yuyi became nervous, and hurriedly said to Guan Sheng: "Young master!!I'll go and see what happened!!"
After Li Yuyi finished speaking, he ran towards the wooden house where Xu Jingning was in a panic, and during the run, Xu Jingning's screams were endless, as if he was suffering some terrifying disaster.
When Li Yuyi walked through the forest path and came to the outside of the cabin, he was stunned with fright.
I saw a group of tall masked men surrounding the entire cabin, each holding a simple knife, which reflected a dazzling glow in the sunlight, dazzling people. Xu Gang, Tian Xiang and Xu Jingning were all dragged and thrown on the open space outside the house, and several people rushed into the wooden house to search for things. In broad daylight, there were robbers.
"Please!!Let us go, our family has nothing! We are poor people who chop wood for a living, what can we have of value?" Xu Jingning cried and begged a strong man in front of her.
Tian Xiang was already so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't say a word, but she was trembling all over. Xu Gang didn't say a word, he pressed his waist stiffly, and in his belt, he didn't want to pay attention to the dozens of taels of silver that Li Yuyi gave him.
!!Suddenly, the door of the cabin was kicked and smashed by a strong man, who rushed out with a big grin, pointed at Xu Gang with a knife, and asked: "Damn! I saw you go to the city with a young boy to get a lot of silver taels!
"What...... What young man? What silver tael!?I don't know what you're talking about!" Xu Gang swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and said with some fear.
"Hmm!?There's something hidden in your waist!?Take it out!?"The strong man had already seen Xu Gang's strange appearance, and said in a commanding tone.
"Nothing! Nothing!!" Xu Gang trembled with fright, the dozens of taels of silver on his waist were enough for his family to live for many years.
"Damn!!" The strong man kicked Xu Gang over, stepped on Xu Gang's chest, and with a stroke of the knife, he directly cut Xu Gang's belt, and the few white silver pieces fell out.
"Hmph! And said I don't know!!, you old guy don't give you some color, you don't know how powerful!!" The strong man picked up these ingots of silver, and then pressed the tip of his knife against Xu Gang's neck.
"You guys!!You bandits are so bold! Don't you know that this is the Red Maple Mountain where the Fire Maple Sect is located? You rob here, and the people of the Fire Maple Sect will not let you go!!" Xu Jing thought for a moment, plucked up the courage to scold loudly.
"Fire Maple Sect!?hahahahaha!!" For some reason, after hearing Xu Jingning's words, the robber looked up to the sky and laughed, "How different are the people of the Fire Maple Sect from me? If they know that you have so much silver, I'm afraid they will have to use all kinds of means to cheat you! Okay!!I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Tell me quickly, where is the kid with the silver! If you don't say it, I will chop you directly!"
The sharp blade was imprinted on Xu Gang's neck, and blood spilled down the blade.
Xu Gang was frightened, so he shouted, "They...... They're going up the mountain!We're going to the Fire Maple Sect!!"
"Up the mountain!?" The robber frowned, turned his head and looked at the path up the mountain, and suddenly found Li Yuyi standing in the distance and stupidly watching, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and saw the bulging money bag on Li Yuyi's waist, waved his hand to the brothers and said, "Brothers!
Li Yuyi saw that these rampant robbers had discovered him, but he was not afraid, knowing that these people were here for money, so he took out the money bag from his waist and walked quickly towards Xu Jingning's side, saying loudly as he walked: "Don't you just want money? I will give you all these silver taels now! Let them go!!"
"Li Yuyi!!" Xu Jingning saw Li Yuyi come to rescue herself so fearlessly, and she was immediately moved inexplicably, and tears fell like a waterfall.
"Haha! It's still your kid who knows each other!" The leading robber laughed, rushed to Li Yuyi quickly, snatched the bag of silver, opened it and saw that there was a lot of white cancan, and he was in a good mood, and waved his hand to many of his subordinates, "Brothers!
However, when Xu Jingning and the others relaxed, they thought that this matter was over. Suddenly there was a crackling sound from the hut, and a cloud of smoke rose from it, and tongues of fire burst out of the house, and the robbers set a fire to burn the hut down.
"Uhh
"Damn!!" The leading robber looked horizontally, raised his knife, and sneered at Xu Gang's belly.
The red knife went in, the white knife came out, Xu Gang's belly was pierced, the blood was raging, the pain was unbearable, and he knelt down holding his bleeding belly, full of pain and unwillingness.
"Daddy!!!" Xu Jingning let out a painful and sad scream, and wanted to rush towards Xu Gang, who fell to the ground, but was grabbed by Li Yuyi and hugged in his arms. These robbers have no humanity, and if Xu Jingning rushes over, he may also be slashed.
"Hey!!That girl seems to be good! This little girl can also have fun! Brothers! Kill that kid! Arrest all the women! Let you play when you have had enough!" The leading robber kicked away Xu Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped the bloody Pu knife in his hand on Xu Gang's clothes, and then smiled lewdly, beckoning his subordinates to walk in the direction of Tian Xiang and Xu Jingning.
"You guys!!" Li Yuyi gritted his teeth with hatred, and the fire from the small cabin next to him was imprinted on his face, making Li Yuyi's face look a little hideous at the moment, he really couldn't imagine how there could be such evil people and such crazy people in this world.
"Huh?" Just as the robbers were walking towards Tian Xiang and Xu Jingning, they suddenly noticed a luxurious sedan chair appearing from the secluded path in the mountain forest.
Four strong men carried a pale young man and slowly walked towards this direction.
