Chapter 1128: It Turned Out to Be a Gang of Bandits
"My lord, let's not go back to Yanzhou, what are we going to do in Jizhou? You can't always collect corpses every day, right?" Xu Ershou asked.
"What else do you think we're going to do?" Su Xuan asked rhetorically.
"The money has also been earned, and if you don't go back to Yanzhou, what else will you do?" Xu Er was puzzled.
"I guess this Jizhou Cui clan and Zezhou Wang clan may have to fight." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Still fighting? Didn't the imperial court have a will? Whoever dares to fight again, then whatever." Xu Ershou said.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and said, "The money hasn't been earned yet, just a few million taels of silver, can you feed these rice buckets?"
Xu Ersan raised his hand and touched his head: "My lord, I don't eat as much as I used to eat now, if you think I'm hard to feed, then I'll eat less in the future."
"Stop talking nonsense and go in the direction of Xianfeng County." Su Xuan said.
"Okay, I'll lead the way!" Xu Ersan was about to leave after speaking.
"Hmm...... Wait, come back!"
Su Xuan immediately reacted and let Xu Ershou lead the way?
You just give him a navigation now, and he can lead you off track.
"Let you lead the way? You have a fart! Zhou Chong, you lead the way in front of you and go to Xianfeng County." Su Xuan said.
"Okay."
Zhou Chong hurriedly stepped forward.
But his heart is not low, he doesn't seem to know the way?
However, it is rare for Chitose to explain things to him to do, so he wants to do it well.
Lead the way, lead the way!
Isn't it just going to Xianfeng County, he has a map in his hand, and it is impossible to deviate.
So, Zhou Chong went to the front to lead the way.
The people of the Shenji Battalion did not huddle together, and they opened a certain distance between each other and moved forward quickly.
More than 50 fast horses galloped on the land of Jizhou.
Although this Jizhou is in the north, there are many plains, most of which are fields suitable for farming.
It is no wonder that the Qinghe Cui clan controls the land of Jizhou and can be rich and rival the country.
These big landlords lie on the bottom peasants and suck blood, so it's strange that they don't get fat.
It's just that now, far away from the boundaries of Jizhou City, the farmland has basically been abandoned.
If anyone is still farming outside, when the rogue comes, he can eat in the field without even leaving the dregs.
After a whole day of continuous travel, Zhou Chong was a little confused.
He had a map in his hand, but he didn't know where he had gone.
Su Xuan saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to find a place to prepare for the night, and then called Zhou Chong back.
"How far is it from Xianfeng County?" Su Xuan asked.
Today almost didn't stop for a day, and Zhou Chong estimated that he had walked hundreds of miles.
"Chitose Lord, if nothing else, you can get to the boundary of Xianfeng County before nightfall the day after tomorrow." Zhou Chong replied very seriously.
"Hmm."
The soldiers found a leeward slope and settled down.
Not far away, a small group of people approached the place where Su Xuan and the others lived, and then ran away quickly.
At this time, a soldier quickly came to Su Xuan.
"Chitose Lord, only seven or eight people touched our approach, and they left quickly. These people are secretive and well-trained, and they are most likely bandits in the vicinity." The soldier said in a deep voice.
There are not many people in Su Xuan and his party, and today they have been running wildly during the day for a day, and it is very normal to be targeted by bandits.
He only brought fifty men, which was not a lot of people.
However, Su Xuan didn't know where the other party came from, and he didn't know whether it was a bandit or a local armed force.
So it's better to be careful.
"Prepare to evacuate." Su Xuan said.
It's night, but it's still early.
They could have run for another hour or two and have a different place to rest for the night.
"Chitose Lord, we are surrounded, there are quite a few people, no less than a thousand." Another soldier came back to report the situation.
Not long after, Su Xuan had already heard movement outside.
With the sound of a breaking wind, a loud "bang" suddenly broke out in front of Su Xuan.
I saw a huge mountain opening knife, stuck in front of Su Xuan.
At this time, the other party also appeared.
The number of people is indeed quite large, the scale of about 1,000 people, and the group of 50 people is surrounded.
None of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion panicked, and instantly formed a defensive formation, protecting Su Xuan in the middle.
As long as they waited for Su Xuan's order, they could break through in a very short time.
These 1,000 people can't stop the fifty Shenji Battalion.
Besides, if the Shenji Battalion is willing, it can even wipe out all these 1,000 people here.
However, the other party did not choose to do it at the first time.
A man walked out.
"Leave your horses and dry food behind, and you may not die."
Su Xuan heard someone shouting and immediately walked to the front.
This group of people had all the equipment, but they were not very well-equipped.
However, judging from their body type, they are all burly, and they should have been trained for a long time.
"Horses and dry rations have been given to you, how can we get there? What shall we eat?" Su Xuan asked with a faint smile.
The man saw that Su Xuan was calm and relaxed, and he was not panicked at all, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
In the past, when they encountered such a small procession passing by, as soon as they appeared, the other party immediately knelt down obediently and begged for mercy.
"Don't you know whether horses and dry food are important, or whether life is important?" The man said coldly.
Su Xuan grinned.
"Brother, don't you see that the horse we are riding is the best war horse of the Great Yan Dynasty?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
"So what?" The man asked rhetorically.
Of course, he could see that these dozens of horses were all high-grade war horses.
Those who can have this level of war horses must be the regular army.
So the man guessed that these fifty people should be the Jizhou army. Of course, it is not a new soldier from Jizhou, but a veteran of Jizhou Prefecture.
They are bandits, and the team has been pulled up.
Since he is a bandit and is engaged in the business of roadblock robbery, does he care who the other party is?
If there were five hundred Jizhou troops here, they would definitely not show their faces, and simply let them go.
But there are only fifty of them, so who will they rob if they don't rob them?
Fifty high-quality war horses are not easy to get right now.
"Since we use the finest war horses, we are naturally the most elite soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty...... Oh, by the way, since you're going to block the road and rob, do you have to report your name first?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.
The man raised his hand and touched his head, thinking carefully, it seemed that he should report a name.
"Zhuo Junyi, the second master of Lao Tzu Qingshan Village, now that I have a fancy for your war horses and grain and grass, why don't you hand them over quickly? If you realize the time, Lao Tzu will take your life together!" Zhuo Junyi said coldly.
Su Xuan smiled: "It turned out to be a group of bandits, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to pinch me."
