Chapter 22—The Strange Bandits Ambush (Part I)
From Zhao Ji's familiar appearance, he knew that it was not the first time he had come here, and when he heard the question of the roadside, he calmly took out a bulging money bag from his body.
"Trouble the mountain lord, all the strong men make a move, I want the grandson of Li Cripple, Li Daoyuan's head, this is one hundred taels!"
One hundred taels was enough to buy a small house in ancient times.
Just buy a person's head, more than enough.
"But that Li Daoyuan, who killed Wang Mazi?"
"We took the job, but for the price... To double! ”
When Zhao Ji heard this price, a trace of pain flashed on his face.
Although his family has a great business, two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.
"Don't give it, do you? Then don't blame the brothers, you're welcome..."
"You..."
Zhao Ji still obediently made up the money, carefully put it on the ground, and turned around and ran without hesitation.
These bandits and robbers are all licking blood from the edge of the knife, and they are not afraid of death, so he can't fight with them.
Looking at the back of Zhao Ji running away, two tall figures walked out of the tall grass on the side of the road:
"Commander, do you want to report to the boss?"
"Fool, even if you tell the big boss, don't you send us to do it? If he doesn't do anything, he's going to take most of it. ”
"Wouldn't we be able to divide more if we found a few more people to solve the problem?"
As soon as these words came out, the thief who asked the question immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
The two of them put away their money bags and went up the mountain, and in a short time they went down the mountain with seven or eight strong men.
Next to the new house, Li Daoyuan looked at the sky and was about to make some lunch, only to find that although the thatched house collapsed before he didn't hurt himself, the stove was not so lucky, and the pots and pans were basically dying.
Not to mention making food, it is barely possible to pick it up and boil water.
"Goo-goo..."
The stomach began to protest, Li Daoyuan looked at Xiongzhuo and they were working hard, their foreheads were full of hot sweat, people are iron, rice is steel, and it is definitely not okay not to eat.
Looking through the system store, there are no cooked foods for sale, only some elixirs that can fight hunger and relieve fatigue.
But where is the food fragrant in the pill, he immediately called Xia Chasing Yun.
"Chasing the clouds, take me to town."
Xia Chaiyun is obviously in a good mood now after eating the spirit grass, Li Daoyuan has a call, and it will arrive soon.
From Li Daoyuan's house to Fengyu Town, there are basically mountain paths along the way, and only the last mile or so is a paved road.
Fortunately, Xia Chayun itself is tall enough, some small trees, thorns can't stop it at all, and you can jump over it with a light step.
So running on this mountain trail won't be slow.
Soon they came to the town, and when they saw Li Daoyuan, they all greeted him warmly.
"Li Yingying is here!! Li Yingying is here, what is needed, just mention..."
"The hero is coming, and the small store is permanently discounted by 5% for the hero..."
"What heroes are not heroes, I just did what I had to do, you don't have to be so polite..."
Li Daoyuan also responded one by one, and he was also surprised to see the heartfelt smiles of his fellow villagers.
Who would have thought that a few days ago, most people still regarded him as a fool and scoffed at him.
made Li Daoyuan feel a little like a world away, the crowd was too enthusiastic, and he was a little embarrassed.
I bought pots and pans that must be used, roast chicken and duck and other cooked food, hung it on Xia Chaiyun, and turned around to leave.
Everyone looked at the movements that wanted to leave, and they all flocked to him, holding copper coins, rice noodles and so on in their hands.
Li Daoyuan was in a hurry to go home, did not accept their gifts, and rode out of the city gate on Xia Chayun.
It didn't take long for me to finish the main road and just go up the mountain path.
"Shhh
Suddenly, Xia Chasing Cloud jumped into the air, and his whole body was several meters high, so frightened that Li Daoyuan clung to it so tightly that he almost didn't fall off the horse.
"Chasing clouds, what's wrong with you?"
Li Daoyuan's face was full of question marks, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to comfort Qi Xia Chasing Yun.
When I looked down, I saw two tripwires on the ground, one behind the other.
Seeing the hemp rope that was nearly arm-thick, he reacted and broke out in a cold sweat.
If it weren't for Xia Chaiyun's sharp eyes and jumping up, I'm afraid they would have fallen into the trap by now.
Li Daoyuan instantly became nervous, turned over from Xia Chaiyun, and took the medicine hoe in his hand.
"Who? Come out! ”
"It is worthy of being a ruthless person who can destroy Wang Mazi, and there are really two brushes."
The bandit leader emerged from the grass in admiration, followed by seven or eight strong men.
Most of them were unkempt and poorly clothed, and the real weapons in their hands were all sorts of strange, even with sickles and hoes.
It's not too far from the weapon Li Daoyuan is holding in his hand.
But everyone has a bit of murderous aura on them, and there is some greed in Li Daoyuan's eyes.
"What do you want to do? If you don't want money, you can only kill yourself! ”
Li Daoyuan is not frightened, although there are many people on the other side, but there is Xia chasing the clouds, and he also has a cultivation body, he is not empty.
"Heh, hard enough, brothers, teach this kid the rules of the way!"
"Whew!"
Xia Chasing Cloud was more irritable than the bandits, and rushed towards them with a snort.
But the surrounding environment is really bad, there are trees on all sides.
Just charged, and when it encountered an obstruction, it could only stop.
"A beast is a beast, no matter how tall it is, it will only be played, hahaha!"
Only two or three people were able to restrain Xia Chaiyun.
Angry and angry, Xia chased the clouds and gasped, but they couldn't help them.
At the same time, the bandit leader raised his arms and shouted:
"Give it all to me!"
"Yes!"
Four or five people attacked Li Daoyuan at the same time.
Compared to those shabby subordinates, the bandit leader still has a good ghost-headed broadsword in his hand.
In the sunlight reflects the pale cold light.
Moreover, his skin began to turn a light green, which showed that this person was also a physical cultivator, not an ordinary person.
Li Daoyuan looked at their menacing momentum, although he was a little panicked in his heart, he was not afraid at all.
When he wanted to fight, that strange calm reappeared.
"Drink!"
A strong man with a beard rushed to the front, holding a mace in his hand, and he was about to smash Li Daoyuan head-on.
Li Daoyuan saw that he was imposing, and wanted to dodge this blow, but his arm involuntarily picked up the medicine hoe and went up.
"Bang!"
"Stomp, stomp..."
Something unexpected happened, the bearded man struck with all his strength, hit the crooked hoe, and was shocked to take a few steps back and sit on the ground.
His hands were still shaking, and he couldn't even hold his mace.
"What?"
The bandits who saw this situation were a little surprised, and a big question mark flashed in their minds.
This beard is known for its strength, and it was even backed back by Li Daoyuan's casual blow with all his strength, so aren't they...
The commander is not a vegetarian, so he quickly stabilized the morale of the army, and said angrily:
"Don't be afraid, he is only one person, his fists are invincible to his four hands, and he is torn alive!"
