Chapter 144: Confrontation

The generals of the Jiang family did not relax in the slightest, and they were still looking at the mountain bandits with a wary face. The strong black man raised his hand and motioned to his men.

As soon as he saw his movements, another man beside him wanted to say something, but he stopped him before he could say anything.

At this moment, some people suddenly came out of the forest silently and moved the big trees that blocked the way.

When the tree was removed, the road was revealed, and the black man said:

"Alright, you can leave!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xi thanked him again and again, and the Jiang family's team set off slowly.

Ahead, the Jiang family's team walked on a rugged road, and there seemed to be many people in ambush in the woods on both sides.

Jiang Chiyu asked the generals to keep the alert team moving forward in an orderly manner, and several powerful shepherd dogs were kept on a leash to prevent them from barking.

The procession passed quietly down the road in the middle of the group of bandits.

However, until all the people and horses of the Jiang family walked out of the dense forest area, those mountain bandits did not make any moves.

The Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, these mountain bandits released them after receiving the money, and did not attack the Jiang family.

When the Jiang family could no longer see those mountain bandits from the end of the team, Jiang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to everyone:

"Because the world has been fighting for many years, the situation is too chaotic, resulting in many people being homeless, and some young and strong people have no choice but to go up the mountain and become mountain bandits. These people are most fond of robbing passing caravans, but when they encounter a caravan of some size or without much oil and water at first glance, they will extort a little money and let them go.

Most of the mountain bandits here on the border of Song and Wei did not hurt people's lives, so he just took the money prepared in advance and handed it over, and he was released.

"This can be regarded as a disaster and disaster." Jiang Anrao concluded.

Of course, people are more important than losing money. If you are forced to fight with those mountain bandits, there will definitely be casualties among each other at that time, and the victory will outweigh the losses when the time comes.

It's still so good, the problems that can be solved with money are not big problems.

Jiang Xi nodded and said, "After passing this triple ridge, there is no danger on the next road, and we will soon be able to reach Daliang." ”

After continuing to walk for a while, Jiang Xi gave the order, the team stopped to rest, and everyone still drove the carriages and horses together. The slaves went to the neighborhood to find water, make fires, boil water, and cook.

The Jiang family members in the car also got out of the car one after another, moving their muscles and bones.

After all, it's tiring to sit in the car all the time.

Jiang Anrao has also been on the road for the past few days, and finally met all the Jiang clansmen, including his grandfather Jiang Chao, except for the three sons of the uncle and his father.

She has always called Uncle Jiang Xi, but two days ago she learned that among Jiang Chao's sons, above the uncle, there is a concubine who is older than the uncle! The other two concubines are older than Jiang's father, and they also marry wives and have children, but these people's sense of existence is really not high.

They are all raised by Jiang Xi, who is a descendant, and they stay obediently, they eat and drink every month, and Jiang Anrao rarely goes back to the ancestral house, so he hasn't seen him before.

In addition, Grandpa Jiang San also brought his three sons and family members, as well as several grandchildren, with the team.

Shang You's wife, Jiang Fu, had seen her a long time ago, she was a good-looking girl, she looked more introverted, and she basically didn't hear anything from her along the way.

However, every time she rests, she can be seen feeding and delivering food and water to Shang You, and Shang You often goes to her car to talk to her in addition to patrolling, and I feel that the relationship between the newlyweds is quite good.

The team was resting, and the fire had just risen and the water was boiling.

Considering the health problem, the Jiang family only boiled the water before letting people drink it. Some of them went to fetch water and collect firewood, some fed horses and drank horses, and some made fires to boil water and cook. People are busy, so the people of the Jiang family are a little loose.

The generals didn't dare to relax too much at this time, and they were still on guard around.

Just when everyone thought that everything was normal, suddenly the sound of birdsong sounded not far away.

The crowd followed the sound and could see a flock of birds suddenly rushing out of the woods.

There seemed to be a faint cacophony of shouts coming from the direction they were coming from.

"It's not right!" Jiang Chiyu, Shang You, Dawn, Wang Yun, Jiang Dad, Jiang Xi. Almost everyone sensed that something was wrong, and this sentence welled up in their hearts.

Jiang Xi immediately decided:

"Everyone, quick! Let's go! ”

Everyone heard it, and the atmosphere instantly became very tense!

Jiang Chao and the others were helped to climb back to the carriage, and the slaves who were still busy put away their things and put them back in the ox cart.

It was a large clay pot that was being used to boil water, and it was also ordered by Jiang Chiyu not to care about it at this time, so it's a big deal. Just let the slaves pack up and follow their cars at once!

Because the startling of birds and the noisy sound came from behind, Jiang Chiyu divided more than fifty families to guard the first carriage, and the slaves then pulled horses and drove the ox cart to follow.

Jiang's mother and grandfather escorted Jiang's father and followed the convoy in front of him first. Jiang Chiyu took one hundred and fifty generals and fifty-nine slaves behind the last side mat.

Jiang Anrao thought about it for a while, stayed with Jiang Chiyu, and she also took a crossbow made by dawn. Although it is not practiced for a long time, this crossbow is easier to shoot at the target than a bow and arrow.

Wang Yun saw that Jiang Anrao and Jiang Chiyu were all here, so he didn't leave, and stood beside the two.

And the seven sons of the Mo family, such as Dawn Izumo, also stayed at this time.

The reason why most of the defense forces were left behind was that although they didn't know what was behind them, everyone felt that they were more dangerous.

As for the team in front, Jiang's mother and grandfather can protect Jiang's father, and they can see the situation in front through the perspective of the live broadcast room, so they don't have to worry about the danger ahead. Even if there were, they could spot it as soon as possible and rush over quickly.

The voices behind him were getting louder and louder, and they were really coming in their direction.

Jiang Anrao and the others began to be on full alert, listening to the sound as they kept approaching.

Soon, a large group of people rushed over one after another and met everyone's eyes.

Jiang Anrao looked over and found that among the people who rushed out, there were a few familiar ones!

Isn't this the black and strong man who was the leader of the bandits who had just robbed them?

However, the black man at this time was not the same as the calm at that time, at this time he was a little flustered, and he was embarrassed!

The man who was following him just now, but he didn't see it at the moment, but after the black man came out with a large number of people, he actually went straight to the Jiang family!

Both sides were stunned for a moment.

At this point, the Jiang family has not yet ordered an attack.

Even, the Jiang family did not block the path of the black strong man and the others.
