Chapter VII Robbers
"Drive, the lady is in front of the old Yin Mountain, after this old Yin Mountain, walk ten miles of the official road to the Son of Heaven City" Wen Hao drove the carriage and said to the lady in the sedan chair.
Laoyin Mountain is a cliff on both sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are hundreds of bandits living on it, the big boss is called Lai Pi Snake, the second master is called Tongtian Leopard, and the third master is called Feidiao, the government has no way to take them, as long as they don't come to Tianzi City to make trouble, they will open one eye and close one eye.
At this time, on the cliffs on both sides, there were hundreds of masked people lurking, some of them were armed with knives, some with bows and arrows, and some with axes.
"Big brother, the carriage is coming, when will you start?" the three-headed flying eagle walked up to a one-eyed man and asked.
"Are you sure it's Wen Hao?" The one-eyed dragon asked, looking at the approaching carriage below.
"I sent someone to visit all the way, and it was him"
"Prepare, release the arrows" The big boss Lai Pi Snake ordered, and the dense rain of arrows went to the carriage under the cliff.
"It's not good, there are bandits," Wen Hao shouted, pumping the horse's ass hard, rushing all the way forward, stopping and dying without a place to be buried.
"What's the situation, Dad" Wen Yu walked forward and found that Wen Hao had been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he was still desperately running away on the official road in the carriage, and his body was covered in blood.
Wen Yu took the horse rope and shouted, "Mother, father, he is injured, you help him in to rest, I will drive the horse"
"Yu'er, Daddy is fine, you hurry up and hide in the carriage," Wen Hao wanted to snatch the horse rope, but it hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.
"Xianggong, believe Yu'er, I'll pull out the arrow for you first and treat the wound"
Qin Yu in the back helped him into the sedan chair and hurriedly treated the wound.
"Stop firing arrows and surround them," the one-eyed dragon ordered
A group of Celestial Serpents headed down the cliff.
No matter how fast the carriage was, it was still surrounded by groups, and Wen Yu had no choice but to stop the carriage, because the opposite side was too good at using the terrain to narrow the encirclement.
"Wen Hao, someone is spending money to kill you, come out and die" The third master Feidiao walked to the carriage with people.
Wen Hao covered his shoulders, stepped out of the carriage and asked, "Fellow knights, can you tell me who is going to buy my life before you die?"
"You go and ask Lord Yama," the three masters, Fei Diao, led people to rush towards the three with knives.
Wen Yu and the three of them were going to fight, clenching their fists.
Just between the lightning and flint, a big man came out of the crowd and shouted, "Third brother, slow down", this person is the second leader of the Heavenly Snake Gang.
The second master looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing, this is money, enough for the brothers to eat and drink for a year."
Tongtian Leopard walked up to the one-eyed dragon and continued, "Big brother, if we kill Wen Hao, not only will we not get a penny, but we may also be in danger of destroying the gang."
The one-eyed dragon asked puzzledly, "Second brother, why is this?" ”
Tongtian Leopard turned to look at Wen Hao and continued to reply, "Big brother, do you think, for the sake of money, Wen Xi even wants to kill his eldest brother, and we robbed him everywhere before, Wen family caravans, I don't believe he will not hold a grudge, saying that he may not collude with the government, and do things that are not good for us on the pretext of worshipping the mountain afterwards."
The one-eyed dragon listened to his words, and thought about it carefully, and the gang members were also talking about it, "Yes, big brother, you can believe it, but you can't believe it."
"What then? Second brother," the one-eyed dragon asked.
"Take all the valuable belongings on them and let them go, he is already injured, we are also worthy of the ten thousand taels in our hands, and we can also pay the difference, and the rest, let them fight in the nest" Tongtian Leopard pointed to Wen Yu and the three of them and said.
At this moment, Wen Hao didn't understand that the person who killed him was actually his own brother
Wen Hao knew that he had no choice now, so he asked Qin Yu to give all the belongings on his body to these robbers, being together as a family was more important than anything else, and the belongings were just nothing more than life and death.
Feidiao cleaned up the property of Wen Yu's family and scolded: "His grandmother, the dignified young master of the Wen family, is so poor? ”
"Open the inside of that baggage, let's search it" A group of people pointed to the burden that Qin Yu had held tightly in his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really gone, there's really no silver taels in it," Wen Hao hurriedly replied.
Tongtian Leopard walked over, snatched the burden, searched everywhere, turned out the red wooden box, and scolded angrily, "What is this?" ”
Wen Hao hurriedly replied, "This is my son's jade pendant, it's worthless, please return it to me, and I will thank you again afterwards."
"Jade pendant?" Tongtian Leopard opened the box, and sure enough, there was a piece of jade pendant wrapped inside.
He touched his head and said, "This jade pendant seems to be very familiar, I don't know where I have seen it", he was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army eighteen years ago, and he is also well-informed, and most of these brothers under his hands were defeated before they fell into the grass.
He put the jade pendant into the wooden box again, handed it to Qin Hao and said, "Talking counts, are you willing to take 10,000 taels in exchange?" ”
Wen Hao hurriedly took the jade pendant and said, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase"
And the reverse side of the jade pendant is engraved with the word "Hua", which he didn't see.
"Big brother, then I'll let them go back," Tongtian Leopard pointed at Wen Yu and the others and said to the one-eyed dragon.
"Second brother, you have the final say" Lai Pi Snake packed up the guy and left with a few hundred younger brothers.
Tongtian Leopard, who was walking behind, touched his head, "Where have you seen this jade pendant?" I can't remember, forget it, go back to drinking"
