Chapter 50: Defusing the Bandit Crisis

At three o'clock, the convoy set off.

Walking ahead is the most experienced Master Zhu.

He was followed by his apprentices and Master Lin.

And Yi Mingxue and Second Uncle Li are in charge of the back.

Along the way, except for the occasional stark glance from Master Zhu's master and apprentice, they were basically fine.

……

Until the evening of the fifth day.

The group found a riverside and prepared to set up camp and cook.

But as soon as the stove was set up, it was interrupted by a dense sound of footsteps.

They actually met a group of robbers, passing through this place.

And one by one they were wielding steel knives and screaming.

was so frightened that Master Zhu and the others didn't dare to come out.

But the bandits seemed to have something else going on, and seemed to be in a hurry.

Everyone secretly prayed, hoping that this group of uncles had something important and left quickly.

The atmosphere became tense.

Although there were a few people who kept staring at them, no one made a rash move.

Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Mingxue suddenly noticed that the cover on Master Zhu's apprentice's car had fallen off at some point.

More than a dozen big red boxes inside were exposed in this way.

She said in her heart that it was not good!

Sure enough, I heard the robber leader shouting.

"Wait a minute!"

A group of bandits stopped.

The leader said, "Go and see what they have in their cars!" ”

Master Zhu cried with a sad face, and said lightly that he was unlucky.

Climb into the carriage and want to run.

But where can their group outrun these robbers who rob homes and houses?

I saw the man put two fingers to his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.

The robbers immediately surrounded the convoy.

"Want to run? The uncles were supposed to be in a hurry! Now I don't mind delaying a soak of urine and playing with you. The man stepped forward and said arrogantly.

Yi Mingxue looked at the other party's face, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

What is this narrow road.

It turned out to be the same group of people who chased her for a few miles at the pass last time.

Yi Mingxue quietly took a few steps back.

Second Uncle Li thought she was scared, and grabbed the horsewhip to protect her behind him.

And whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, big girl, these people only want money, just give money." ”

Yi Mingxue: "......"

I'm afraid that they were originally trying to make money, and when they see themselves, they will go through old accounts.

Soon, the robbers turned over several cars.

It turned out that it was all silk cloth, and it was obviously a big disappointment.

The leader of the robbers had sharp eyes, and at a glance he fell in love with several horses pulling carts.

"Bring these beasts back to Lao Tzu!"

As he spoke, he also stretched out his finger and pointed at Dongdong, "The innermost horse is Lao Tzu's, and the rest are as you like." ”

"Alasβ€”" Yi Mingxue sighed helplessly.

She didn't want to cause trouble.

But to snatch Dongdong away is to block her wealth, isn't that self-defeating?

So she simply stopped hiding and walked straight out.

"I'm sorry, you can't take this horse with you today."

The rest of the people were stunned by her move.

Second Uncle Li and Master Lin hurriedly lowered their voices and admonished her,

"Girl, if you lose your horse, you can buy it again, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing!"

Master Zhu also thinks she is troublesome.

He stepped forward and gave a bag of good hookah with both hands, which was close to the bandit leader.

"Uncle, you can ask for money and horses. Just want to let go of the villain, it's not easy to get a single business these days. ”

The robber leader snatched the hookah, and then slowly fell his gaze on Yi Mingxue's face.

"Hey, it's you? Lao Tzu chased you for most of the day that day, and you stinky girl ran really fast. ”

"......" Yi Mingxue didn't answer.

The main bandit leader didn't give her a chance to speak.

directly crooked his mouth and said, "That's right, Lao Tzu's new hatred and old hatred are counted together today!" ”

Yi Mingxue glanced at the little brother behind him, and had a faint conjecture in his heart.

So, she simply took a gamble.

smiled, "Aren't you entrenched in the area of Qiyang Mountain?" Why did you get here again? Could it be that the nest was served by someone and fled for his life overnight? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, some of the little minions who couldn't hold their breath began to stir.

The leader's face became extremely ugly, and he shouted angrily, "Give Lao Tzu peace!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yi Mingxue, and said a little angrily.

"Lao Tzu took the initiative to move, but it doesn't prevent me from cleaning up you and this bunch of miscellaneous hair!"

Yi Mingxue listened, but her face was still unhurried.

"Really? The people chasing you are almost there. ”

As she spoke, she deliberately tilted her ears and listened carefully for a moment.

continued, "Well, a team of elite cavalry, it sounds like there should be about fifty people. And all of them are heavily armoured, it seems...... It's the army. ”

"You ......," the man's eyes widened, "are you blind?" Or are the ears so smart! ”

But when he thought about it, he could even guess the number of people and identity so accurately.

It can't be blindness.

The bandit leader sank his face and continued Yi Mingxue, "How far are they from us?" ”

Yi Mingxue smiled but said nothing.

The leader of the robbers was a little angry, he was not afraid of death, but the group of people who seemed to be an army were actually very terrifying.

I have done too many pickled things for others, and once I am caught, I will definitely be worse than dead.

So, he simply put the steel knife away.

"Cheng, Lao Tzu won't rob your things and horses. You tell me how far we are from the people who are chasing us. ”

Yi Mingxue stared at the robber leader's eyes for a long time.

Only then did he slowly speak, "It was only ten miles away, and now it's almost eight miles." ”

"Grass!" The bandit leader cursed.

I didn't care about robbery, so I turned around and ran away with my little brother.

A little brother shouted loudly while following his buttocks:

"Boss, why don't you rob their horses and carts, so we can run faster!"

The leader of the robbers flew up and kicked the little brother to the ground, and scolded angrily:

"Lao Tzu just promised that girl not to rob her of things, do you want Lao Tzu to be a person who has no word to be trusted?"

The little brother quickly got up and followed.

"But...... Aren't we robbers? What kind of credit do you want? ”

Bandit Leader: "......"

You have a good point, but Lao Tzu is a trustworthy robber.

The crowd continued to whine, and ran again.

Seeing that the two masters Zhu and Lin, as well as Second Uncle Li and others, were dumbfounded.

Master Zhu couldn't believe his eyes.

After a long time, he muttered, "This is leaving?" ”

Second Uncle Li pulled Yi Mingxue to his side, and he was afraid.

"Big girl, you girl is too bold! Also, why do you seem to know the bandit leader? ”

Yi Mingxue couldn't cry or laugh, "It should be regarded as a ...... Acquaintance, right? ”

There was no way, she had to be forced by everyone to briefly describe the incident that she had been chased by the other party for a long time at the pass.

Hearing this, the crowd was terrified.

Second Uncle Li asked even more curiously, "Then you said that there was an army chasing them, did you really hear it?" ”

"Hmm......" Yi Mingxue just pursed her lips and smiled.

Not admitted, not denied.

Master Zhu heard it on the side and let out a disdainful sneer.

"She can hear it from ten miles away? Coax a three-year-old child! I think it's a blind cat running into a dead mouse! ”

The atmosphere instantly became awkward again.

Master Lin hurriedly came out to play the round, "No matter what, I would like to thank Miss Mingxue for saving her life today." ”

A few people were talking.

I saw the loess flying not far away, and a dense sound of horses' hooves as dense as a drum hammer was rapidly approaching.

Master Zhu's apprentice opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Really...... It's really a team ......."
