Di Hong was condescending, squinting at the woman, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of sarcasm.

"You're a deserter, and you still have so much silver on you?"

"Back to the general, this silver was brought out by the two of us from home, and we have traveled all the way, and I don't have any money to worry about."

Di Hong said with a smile: "Hmph, in my opinion, your silver must have been stolen, and now you want to bribe General Ben in the court, it is really a crime to die!" ”

The mother-in-law was suddenly frightened stupid, she just wanted to spend money in exchange for a chance to enter the city, but she didn't expect the general to frame her for stealing, and this crime would cost her life.

The landlord hurriedly rushed over from behind and explained to Di Hong: "General, general, my ancestors also served for the imperial court, and they have saved some family funds for me and other descendants to graze for a living. ”

"Please General Mingjian, we just want to enter Ziyang City to find a place to settle down, and we will be satisfied if we can live a stable life in the future!"

If he accepted bribes in front of his subordinates, it would be too ugly, so he deliberately distorted the facts and slandered the landlord couple as thieves.

In this way, he was not only able to get these silver taels, but also maintained his image of being upright and honest, wouldn't he kill two birds with one stone?

Just as he was maliciously making things difficult for the two, a horse neighing suddenly came from a distance.

Jiang Chen kept whipping his horses and galloping from a distance, but in fact, he had already been carefully observing for a while he had already hidden his horses, and only after finding the right time did he come out as if the situation was urgent.

"Report!"

"Report to the general, there are bandits nearby, and they are coming straight to this side!"

Di Hong was stunned for a moment, and pondered: "Bandit? ”

"Where did I come from near Ziyang City, are you mistaken?"

Jiang Chen said with great certainty: "That's right, there are about seven or eight spies sent by the bandits, not far behind, and they seem to be eyeing the money, food, and property carried by these homeless people. ”

"I also saw behind these spies, the dust was flying, people were shouting and neighing, not to mention hundreds of people were rushing over, I have to think of a strategy to defend against the enemy, General!"

"Bullshit's strategy to defend against the enemy, brothers withdraw with me!"

Di Hong sat on the back of the horse and looked into the distance, and really saw a team of horseback figures rushing towards this side, what could that posture not be a bandit?

There are only about 50 people under him, and he is not the opponent of hundreds of bandits, not to mention that he has no reason to risk his life to fight.

Therefore, ordering a retreat was a natural choice, and as for the life and death of these displaced people, it was not in Dihong's consideration at all.

Jiang Chen's acting skills are first-class, and under his eloquent narration, Di Hong didn't have time to think about the details behind this matter, so he immediately decided to withdraw to Ziyang City first.

Although he knew that the closest group of bandits to Ziyang was also in Hutou Mountain, a hundred miles away, they should not have traveled so far to loot, but then he thought about it, what could not happen in these years?

The entire cavalry team marched away and rushed to Ziyang City under Jiang Chen's eyes.

The displaced people who stayed in place are now panicking one by one, and the landlord and his wife are even more desperate to run to Ziyang, but the luggage they are carrying is too much, and the two subordinates who originally followed them were killed again.

Despite their efforts, they couldn't travel far with the baggage.

Jiang Chen turned his horse's head and waited for those thieves to arrive, and now his trouble had become these murderous thieves.

"Who are we, you must know very well, and obediently take out valuable things, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The first thief saw the clothes on Jiang Chen's body, and he didn't panic at all.

He stared at Jiang Chen for a while, and then said, "Brother, are you alone?" ”

"Then you are really unlucky, at this time you meet a few of our brothers, do you have anything on you, hand them over quickly!"

Jiang Chen replied lightly: "The most valuable thing on my body is probably this life, do you dare to go?" ”

"Hey, talk nonsense with me, don't you, you still think your life is long these years, watch me chop you with a knife!"

The thief's legs were clamped, and Da Ma rushed straight over, and the steel knife in his hand was aimed at the top of Jiang Chen's head, if his knife fell to the ground, then Jiang Chen's head would fall to the ground, and blood would be splashed three feet.

"Bell!"

A clear sound of gold and iron sounded, and the steel knife in the thief's hand was firmly blocked.

However, the person who shot was not Jiang Chen, but a thin and tall man in tattered clothes.

The thing he used to block the steel knife was also very special, it was a short blade with a dark green body, but it was a bit far-fetched to say that it was a weapon, because this short blade obviously did not have a sharp edge, and if you wanted to hurt someone, you needed to use double the force.

The thief was a little surprised, not to mention the length and sharpness of his steel knife, just the force of sitting on the horse's back and slashing down was enough to make the man difficult to parry.

But the weird thing is that this guy stood in front of the horse and caught the knife with only one hand, which even Jiang Chen was shocked.

Just by looking at the body technique that this person used just now, he knew that he was a master, and everyone didn't expect that there was such a master hidden among these homeless people.

"Nosy, I'll kill you together!"

The bandit was furious, drew his sword and jumped to the ground, ready to recreate the killing machine.

However, before he could pounce off the horse, the knife in his hand had already been kicked away by the man, and the chest that followed him was also violently slammed, and he fell to the ground almost instantly.

Because the situation was changing so quickly, the rest of the accomplices had not had time to react, when they looked at the man again, and he already showed an aggressive and terrifying murderous aura.

"Let's go together!"

The bandits quickly dismounted and besieged them, not believing that just one person could parry the seven knives in their hands at the same time.

But what they didn't know was that in Jiang Chen's eyes, they had already lost the game, because the opponent they met this time was not at the same level at all, and it had nothing to do with the number of people or how many knives they had.

Sure enough, after a few rounds of fighting, the man, who looked a little too thin, killed several people mercilessly, while the remaining three bandits were so frightened that they hurriedly jumped back behind their horses and fled into the distance.

Jiang Chen was about to step forward to thank this righteous man, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves rising again, and Di Hong actually took someone back with him!

Jiang Chen had a headache now, how to continue to round out his lies, I was afraid that the other party would not be good and would not be so easy to fool.
