It seems that it was due to the fact that he was too tired last night, and there was too little time to rest, Ding Li, who was full of wine and food, had a skin on his head, and the sun bathing that made people feel extraordinarily comfortable, Ding Li, who was lying on the soft grass, was instantly wrapped in sleepiness, but there was a faint sound in his ears, but Ding Li, who was tired, did not feel anything, but had a very comfortable feeling, and was called out by Zhou Gong in such a daze.

"Knock knock..."

It wasn't until the sound that came into his head from his ears gradually became clear and even disrupted the initial rhythm that Ding Li, who was lying on his back to the sky, suddenly opened his eyes, and his bright eyes did not cause any discomfort due to the exposure of the sun, but burst out of fine light, as if he wanted to compete with the bright sun overhead.

Stunned for a moment, with the vigilance that suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes, Ding Li suddenly flicked up, and without the slightest hesitation, he looked at the northeast direction where the team was resting, and then swept his eyes, and soon locked the figure of Miao Cuihua in the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Sister Miao!" There is the sound of horses' hooves in the northeast, not the brothers who went out just now, at least thirty horses! Rush to the scene! ”

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present looked at Ding Li, especially the middle-aged steward, and his face suddenly changed. The dart masters of the Miao dart game suddenly stood up and looked in the northeast direction, and several of them even dropped the food in their hands, propped their hands on the ground, and attached their ears to the ground, their brows were furrowed, and their faces were solemn.

The most insipid performance was the chauffeurs of the caravan, all of them were dazed, and they didn't know what Ding Li's reminder was for just now, and there were even people who were still staring at each other around them, taking care of their stomachs.

"Sister Miao, there are people behind us, about forty or fifty riders!" Lying on the ground, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face turned his head and shouted at Miao Cuihua who was standing on the side before he got up, Ding Li knew that this person's surname was Wei, and it was said that it was the imprint left by the robbers when he fought with the robbers when he ran the Wuyi Mountain Trade Road in Fujian.

With Scarguard's reminder, Li Dashan, the original dart leader of this dart team, also stood up from the ground, glanced at Miao Cuihua with a heavy face, frowned and walked straight to his mount, seeing the appearance of his two dart heads, the rest of the people no longer doubted the information provided by Ding Li just now, and walked quickly to their mounts, drawing out their respective weapons.

"Maybe it's more than that, the number of these two groups should exceed a hundred!" The dart head Li Shan used a ring head knife with more than three feet of extremely fine standards, and with a solemn face, he walked in front of Miao Cuihua and reminded the other party in a low voice: "Boss, it seems that this matter is not over well today, if anything happens to me Li Shan, my share of the honorarium, I hope that the master can personally deliver it to my family!" ”

"Brother Li, don't say that, it'll be fine!" Miao Cuihua changed her previous big grin, took a lighter but high-quality lancet from the hand of a dart master, took a deep look at Li Shan, and saw that there was no fluctuation in the other party's eyes, and it was still the look full of hope to get an answer, so she couldn't help but nodded, and promised in a deep voice: "Brother Li, don't worry, if there is really anything wrong, your family will be the family of our Miao dart game in the future!" ”

"With this sentence from the master, Li Shan will be relieved!" Li Shan immediately nodded heavily, saluted Miao Cuihua respectfully, and then glanced at Scar Guard, who was carrying a spear and was directing the dart masters to be responsible for defense, and raised his foot to pass, but he didn't want to be suddenly held down by a big hand on his shoulder, suddenly startled, and turned his head, it was Ding Li, who was the first to remind everyone just now, not only full of doubts, but still reacted quickly, and whispered to Ding Li: "Brother, I'm afraid it will affect you, if you fight in a while, you will take advantage of the chaos to run, don't care whose mount, just run!" ”

"Ali, I really didn't expect that this peer, but, but..." Miao Cuihua also reacted, she looked embarrassed, she didn't even dare to look at Ding Li, and the words that hesitated to her lips gradually stopped, and then continued to add along with Li Shan's words: "Ah Li, this is not a street fight, it's all about life, you are not from our dart game, listen to Brother Li's words, you try to run as much as possible for a while, and it is important to save your life!" ”

"Yes, yes, you're not a dart player, even if you run away, no one will say anything!" Li Shan hurriedly nodded, in his opinion, Ding Li was just a young man, although his body was stronger, and the vicissitudes of life and death on that knife-sharpened face were not comparable to ordinary people, but Li Shan still couldn't associate the matter of life and death with it.

"Do you have a handy guy, borrow one!" Ding Li did not reply positively to the kindness of the two, but shrugged his shoulders lightly, his eyes were rolling around, when he left Fuxu Town, he only had a short dagger with him, and he didn't have any weapons.

"Ali! You.. Miao Cuihua was taken aback, along the way, she really regarded Ding Li as one of her younger brothers, but now Ding Li was fearless, how dare Miao Cuihua let people give Ding Li another weapon.

"It's okay, it's not as complicated as you think!" Ding Li shook his head a little helplessly, smiled faintly at the two of them, turned his head to look around, and explained with a chuckle: "Have you heard of the example of a small number of troops blocking head-on and sneaking attacks behind the superior forces? ”

Miao Cuihua and Li Shan were stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to the meaning of Ding Li's words, the northeast direction is the front of the caravan, there are only twenty or thirty horsemen, but there are at least fifty horsemen behind their side, as Ding Li said, this is completely unreasonable, there are no similar examples in the past They don't know, but they have already understood what Ding Li means, the two groups of people who are fighting before and after may not be a group at all!

"What we have to do now is just wait and see what happens!" Without waiting for the two to speak, Ding Li beckoned to the nearby dart master who was staring at him, motioned to the other party to take a handful, and then turned his head to explain to Miao Cuihua and the two: "Of course, we must not relax ourselves, after all, these two groups of people should have bad intentions!" ”

"Brother Ding Li's analysis is right!" Li Shan nodded decisively, looked at Ding Li's gaze with a little more praise, and soon turned his gaze again to Miao Cuihua, who was hesitant, and said, "Boss!" I first instructed the brothers, let's stabilize first, see the situation and then deal with it! ”

Soon, Ding Li found that the equipment of this dart team was still very sophisticated, in front of the enemy, there were two more short crossbows in the hands of two people, although the workmanship was a little rough, and it looked a little old, but the crossbow arrows exposed at the front end emitted a little cold light in the sun, still people could not be underestimated.

The middle-aged steward also gathered the accompanying armed forces in the caravan, and although there were not many of them, each of them had a short bow, and in terms of workmanship and decoration, it was more than twice as good as the two crossbows of the Miao dart board.

Under the arrangement of the two dart heads Li Shan and Scar Guard and the consultation with the middle-aged steward, the dart master of the dart team was responsible for guarding the forward position, and the position was naturally a semicircle surrounded by the eight carriages, in addition to the two crossbow bows sandwiched between the carriages and ready to be fired at any time, there were several people holding Zhangba spears standing tightly behind the carriages, from between the connected carriages, the spears were pierced out, and the sharp spear blades that were wiped by the dart masters on weekdays shone in the sunlight.

In the encirclement of the carriage, the middle-aged steward stood beside his men with short bows, playing with the bowstring from time to time, making a crisp sound, each sound, but also plucked the heartstrings of everyone present, because, in the northeast direction, everyone had already seen the figure of the cavalry vaguely through the dust and smoke raised by the horse.

"Don't fucking fiddle around! Annoying! As the figure of the cavalry became clearer and clearer, a sweaty dart master behind the carriage turned around and cursed, glaring viciously at the group of guys fiddling with bowstrings behind him, eager to step forward and break the short bows one by one.

When the few people who were playing with the bowstring just heard this, their eyes immediately widened, and they looked unconvinced, and they were about to open their mouths to return the mouth, but they were glared at fiercely by the middle-aged steward next to them, and they had no choice but to give up, but at the end, they were still dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice: "Scared you to death!" Aren't there just a few horse thieves? That's it? Dare to come out and dart! The horse thief really arrived in front of him, and he peed his pants without being frightened? ”

It was impossible for those dart masters to hear this, but the companion of the person who spoke heard it clearly, and suddenly let out a low laugh, even the middle-aged steward couldn't help but smile, but for the sake of face, he still glared at his subordinates fiercely, and then turned his gaze to the northeast direction, staring at the golden banner in the dust and smoke.

"Huo", there is only one word.

But it was this one word that made everyone, including Miao Cuihua, stay where they were, only Ding Li, who knew nothing, was watching with relish, fiddling back and forth with a short knife in his hand, as if the people in front of him were some unsightly characters at all.

"Boss! That's the banner of Huojialing! Li Shan is worthy of being the head of the dart game, well-informed, with only one flag, he can judge the identity of the person, hurriedly walked to Miao Cuihua's side, frowned, and at the same time did not forget to glance at the middle-aged steward, and reminded in a worried whisper: "Boss!" How so? Although Huojialing Cottage has been officially labeled as a horse thief, we know that the other party is by no means an ordinary horse thief who usually robs houses and kills people and sets fires! ”

Oh, yes! Miao Cuihua was also at a loss in her heart, she has been engaged in the dart game for a long time, what kind of person is Huojialing Village, she knows very well, the other party is by no means an ordinary horse thief who does those indiscriminate acts.

Thinking of this, Miao Cuihua couldn't help but cast her doubtful eyes on the middle-aged steward, and felt more and more uneasy in her heart, this dart, she didn't know what it was, just because the remuneration given by the other party was too tempting, but now, Miao Cuihua began to regret a little, regretting her original shallow opinion, her own carelessness.

The words of Li Shan and Miao Cuihua were clearly heard by Ding Li, although he didn't know what Huo Jialing's banner represented, but he could also think that the other party was not an ordinary character, and it was not even something that Miao's dart game could provoke, or he didn't want to provoke.

A particularly important point, Ding Li was keenly aware of the vigilance in the eyes of the two that was not easy to find, or suspicion, and couldn't help but move his steps back slightly, in the eyes of outsiders, Ding Li's actions seemed to be timid, or deliberately to make room for Miao Cuihua and Li Shan to talk, but the real purpose was only clear to Ding Li.
