Volume 1 The War of the Seven Kingdoms Chapter 8 Reconciliation
The bandit leader shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "What does the little brother want to talk about?" ”
Lin Jian touched the short gun, "What you said before was right, now that the war is in chaos, everyone is trying to eat for a mouthful, it is not easy to survive, if you take the goods and leave, I will never interfere in this matter, but you still want to rob people, this is not enough!" ”
He pointed to the little head lying on the ground and said: "I see that this reckless man is very afraid of you, I think you also have good skills, we are just for food, I don't want to fight with you to the death, our caravan has a head and a face, you occupy the mountain as the king, and you also have a name for coming." Then let's take a step back, you take the goods away, and I take the people away, all of them can be regarded as having an explanation, how about it? ”
The bandit leader hesitated slightly: "Although what the little brother said is reasonable, but my brothers are all planted in your hands, let's go out, only three people are left to go back, how to explain to the remaining brothers?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm just like you, no killer! The poison on the arrows was only enough to make them lie down for a day, not enough to kill them. Lin Jian smiled and shook his head.
The bandit leader glanced at the cloth-clothed man on the side, and the cloth-clothed man paused, and walked towards the nearest brother, but his gaze kept stopping at Lin Jian.
That posture, it felt like as long as Lin Jian moved, he immediately turned around and ran!
Seeing this, Lin Jian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Just such a facial movement also made the man in cloth tremble, standing in place and not daring to move again.
Seeing this, the bandit leader frowned and shouted, "Go! What are you doing standing there stupidly! ”
When the cloth-clothed man heard this, he saw that Lin Jian really didn't move, so he walked forward again.
When he got to the side of the man who was hit by the arrow, he squatted and probed his breath with his hand, then turned his head and nodded at the bandit.
The bandit leader breathed a sigh of relief, put away the feather fan, and said to Lin Jian with a fist: "Thank you little brother for your mercy!" ”
"You're welcome!" Lin Jian returned the salute with a fist.
"Since it's all confirmed, then you take the goods away, and I'll take the people away, how about it?"
"Just according to the words of the little brother."
Lin Jian began to work, moving the people who had fainted to the ground onto the horses, and the man in cloth also dragged the fallen bandits aside.
While Lin Jian was busy working, he turned his head and said to the man in cloth, "Give me back the arrows." ”
The cloth-clothed man looked up at Lin Jian, and then turned his head to look at the bandit leader.
But he saw that the bandit leader was pouring water on the little man's face, and seeing this, the man in cloth had no choice but to follow what Lin Jian said.
And the little head who fainted on the ground next to him was doused with water and woke up. Immediately jumped up and shouted, "What about the kid? I'm going to kill him! ”
Seeing this, the bandit leader's face sank, and he shouted angrily: "Don't think you have lost enough face? ”
The little head glared at Lin Jian and stopped talking.
"Go and drag the brothers aside, pull out those arrows and return them to the little brothers, and the rest will be talked about when we get back!" The bandit leader said.
After a while, everyone in the caravan was moved to the horses, and Lin Jian wiped all the arrows clean, and then put them in the quiver, and wrapped them in black cloth together with the bow and short spear.
At this time, Lin Jian said to the bandit leader again: "Then I'll take the first step, let's meet again!" ”
The bandit leader arched his hand and said: "Brother, it's easy to go, see you soon!" ”
Lin Blade tied all the reins together and pulled the horse into the distance.
When everyone walked away, the bandit leader withdrew his gaze. At this time, the little head couldn't help it, and asked, "Big brother, why don't you take it down?" ”
"This person is not simple! Even if I made a move, it would be a lose-lose situation. What he said is reasonable, both sides take a step back, and they will be friends when they see each other in the future! ”
Then he turned around and said, "Go!" Let's go back to the village, what you did today, go back and settle accounts with you! ”
After leading the horse for a while, Lin Jian found a shady place to tie the horse, and then threw the guards off the horse, watching everyone lying on the ground, Lin Jian also lay beside him, pretending to be unconscious.
After nearly a pillar of incense, the sun set, and Qi Cheng was the first to wake up.
Qi Cheng woke up in shock, and quickly turned his head to look around, and found that everyone else was lying on the ground, and ran towards the carriage again, lifting the curtain, and the Qi sisters were also lying on it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After the two girls were woken up, they were still a little frightened. Under Qi Cheng's repeated questioning, he came back to his senses. After confirming that the Qi sisters were not injured, Qi Cheng woke up all the guards.
Pi Li squatted next to Lin Jian and shouted while slapping: "Brother Han, wake up!" Brother Han, wake up! "Lin Jian was originally pretending, and after being so noisy, he woke up.
After all the guards were sober, they were gathered together and began to inquire about the situation.
But among the guards, only Qi Cheng fainted last, so the other guards all looked at each other and couldn't answer anything.
Qi Cheng looked at the Qi family sisters, saw that Qi Jing was still appeasing Qi Qian, shook his head, and then looked at Lin Jian and asked, "Brother Han, I remember that you were at the back of the caravan, and the bandits didn't make a move against you, you should be the last one unconscious, right?" ”
Glancing at Qi Cheng, Lin Jian nodded hesitantly.
Qi Cheng stared at Lin Jian deadly: "Then why did the bandits leave everyone here and only take away the goods?" Didn't even take the horses away? The tone was mixed with suspicion and questioning.
After thinking about it, Lin Jian looked at Qi Cheng and replied: "That bandit leader seems to only need the goods and doesn't want to hurt people's lives, so he didn't take the horses away, and he also left us a way to live." ”
Qi Cheng frowned and thought about it, but heard Qi Jing shouting: "They still want to kidnap me and Qian'er!" After speaking, he also kicked Lin Jian at it.
Everyone stared at Lin Jian, Lin Jian was a little flustered, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't know about this, I just saw that there were bandits who wanted to kidnap Sister Jing and Sister Qian, but the bandit leader seemed to be very angry, and then I was also knocked unconscious, I don't know anything about the specific situation!" ”
Qi Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper, but Lin Jian looked innocently flustered. Qi Jing seemed to want to say something, but she wanted to say something.
In fact, before Qi Jing fell unconscious, she vaguely saw the scene where Lin Jian put the bandits on his body to the ground, and the bandits rushed towards Lin Jian.
At this time, seeing that Lin Jian didn't mention this matter, he couldn't believe that everyone was saved by Lin Jian, and he didn't dare to be sure.
Qi Cheng thought for a while, but he was also quite helpless. But since everyone is safe and sound, only the goods are lost, and they don't think about it anymore.
It's just that he didn't believe Lin Jian's words, and his vigilance against him was even higher.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Cheng ordered everyone to hurry for a while longer and find a place to rest.
After a while, everyone sat and rested in a mountain nest, Qi Cheng sent two more people to keep vigil, and the rest of the people were dealing with their wounds.
Everyone gathered around a fire to keep warm, and three or two whispered conversations to discuss today's events. Lin Jian sat next to him and nibbled on dry food, listening to the leather force beside him, and was chattering about how powerful he was during the day.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he ran over to Lin Jian to testify. Lin Jian was so noisy that he was about to say a perfunctory sentence, but he saw Qi Jing walking towards him.
"Pi Li, I want to say a few words to Lin Jian alone."
Pi Lizheng was startled by these words, and turned his head to see that it was Qi Jing, so he had to leave in a huff.
Lin Jian stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Jing, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Qi Jing sat next to her, "You sit first." ”
Lin Jian took a step to the left before sitting on the ground.
Qi Jing saw it in her eyes and frowned: "Han Yan, what kind of person are you!" ”
Lin Jian was full of doubts: "Sister Jing, didn't I tell you about my origin?" ”
"You're still going to lie to me?" Qi Jing said angrily, her voice was a little loud, and the guards who were closer all looked at Qi Jing.
Seeing this, Qi Jing lowered her voice, "Those bandits are going to kidnap me and Qian'er today, did you save us?" ”
"How can I do this? You're looking too highly of me, aren't you? Lin Jian shook his head in surprise.
Qi Jing looked like she knew everything, "Hmph! I'm not honest, when I fainted today, I saw you put down one of the bandits, and the rest of the bandits ran at you! ”
"yes, I put one down, and I was caught and knocked unconscious." Lin Jian smiled bitterly. "I was thinking that I would be able to run while they weren't paying attention."
"But didn't the bandits want to kidnap me and Qian'er, why did they let us all go again?" Qi Jing's tone was a little impatient.
"I really don't know this!" Lin Jian was also anxious.
Qi Jing still didn't believe it, and stared at Lin Jian suspiciously.
"Sister Jing, I really didn't lie to you, there are so many of them, where have I ever beaten them!" Lin Jian complained.
"Don't say it!" Qi Jing got up angrily and left.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Jian didn't think much about it anymore, even Qi Jing didn't believe in himself, now he must have been targeted by the caravan.
There was nothing to do all night, everyone set off at dawn, Qi Jing was still angry, sitting in the carriage and not coming out to breathe, and not talking to Lin Jian when he was resting, Lin Jian was happy and idle.
Along the way, I thought about the process of fighting those bandits, and pondered that it was not a way to win by brute force, and I still had to learn some tricks.
The crowd walked for another twenty days, during which another group of small bandits intercepted the road and were beaten away by the guards.
On this day, the caravan walked to a small valley and was about to enter the valley to rest, but was stopped by Lin Jian.
With the last experience, everyone was on alert. Qi Cheng turned around and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Han, but what did you find?" ”
As soon as Lin Jian wanted to reply, he saw many people popping up on the top of the valley, and when he looked at the clothes and accessories, he knew that it was another gang of bandits.
A black-faced bandit, with a scar on his chin extending to his left shoulder, stepped forward and shouted, "You guys are quite clever, but you don't enter the valley." ”
So saying, the gang of bandits came down from the hill and surrounded the guards in the middle.
Lin Jian glanced at it, there were probably more than thirty people. Qi Cheng knew that something was wrong, and said softly: "We are Qi's cloth, I don't know why the heroes are stopping us?" ”
The black-faced scar who spoke before seemed to have some status, and opened his mouth to scold: "What kind of bullshit Qi Clan? Haven't heard of it! I don't care who you are, keep everything valuable, or else I'll die!" ”
"You have such a big breath!" Pi Li said angrily.
Qi Cheng pulled Pi Li back, "The goods on our trip have been robbed by a gang of bandits before, and now there are no goods." ”
"Oh? Then take off all the valuable jewelry on your body, and these horses, we want them all! The black-faced Scar bandit sneered.
"Isn't it out of stock? What's in that carriage? Another bandit pointed to the only carriage in the convoy.
