Chapter 164: Escape from Death
Perhaps Madame Wang also felt that such a request was excessive, but she could not find any better way to prove her identity, so she sent the old woman to jump out of the car and argue with the samurai for a long time.
As a result, the samurai felt more and more suspicious of the people in the car.
If this stalemate continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Wujun until dawn, Mrs. Wang was forced to be helpless, so she had to agree, and the only request was: when Chen Ji checked his wrist, no one else was allowed to approach.
The samurai glanced at the samurai who had formed a circle next to the car and nodded reassuringly.
Chen Ji was released from the wooden cage.
This guy was already numb in his legs, and when he jumped down, he was unsteady on his feet and almost fell.
The messenger kicked him in the back.
"Look carefully, if there is a mistake, General Ben will send you here to see the first emperor."
Chen Ji's mind was spinning rapidly.
When he was less than a meter away from the car, the old mother stopped him.
Several samurai lit torches, and the light of the fire reflected Chen Ji's face like a dead fish.
"Madame, please lend your hand." The old mother's hand stopped in front of Chen Ji, and the other hand slowly lifted the light-colored curtain.
Chen Ji's hands trembled violently, ready to pull Mrs. Wang out of the car at any time, taking her as his hostage.
Just as Madame Wang pulled up one of her arms and stretched out timidly, suddenly, a samurai standing in front of the car let out an exclamation, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked.
Before they could figure out what was going on, two more samurai screamed and fell down, each with a long feathered arrow stuck in their backs.
"Oh no, there are bandits here." The messenger was the first to react and shouted.
As soon as his voice fell, countless black figures suddenly appeared around him, and then a noisy shout came from the hillside behind him, and a long fire-colored snake formed by countless torches connected together quickly moved towards here from the hillside.
"Lady Protection." I don't know who screamed.
Several samurai pounced and surrounded the car.
However, another row of feathered arrows flew in, and there were only two samurai left in front of them in an instant.
More than a dozen people sent by Dong Qi mounted their horses one after another, trying to block the mountain bandits, however, the number of people on the other side was too much, and coupled with the dense number of feathered arrows, it didn't take long for only a few war horses to be left wailing at their masters.
"The owner of the village has an order, and he doesn't leave anything alive, as long as the horses." A voice came from among the bandits.
The mountain bandits flocked to the car.
At this time, Chen Ji had already gotten under the car, only to see a pair of old mother's feet move a few times in front of the car, and then the whole body fell in front of the wheels.
"Madame get out of the car, the villain will protect you from the encirclement." A samurai waved his steel knife in front of the car, trying to make a last-ditch effort.
The car shook a few times, probably because Mrs. Wang tried to stand up but failed.
"Bang", I don't know what heavy object smashed on the wooden wheels, several horizontal logs across the middle of the wheels broke instantly, the car collapsed, and the heavy body pressed Chen Jiyan tightly.
Chen Ji snorted and almost passed out.
After a few moments, the shouts of killing gradually subsided, presumably all the samurai had lost the ability to resist.
A pair of big feet in oversized straw sandals came to the front of the car and lifted the torn curtains.
In the sloping carport, Mrs. Wang leaned against the corner and shivered.
A torch shook in front of Madame Wang's eyes.
"This little lady is a little beautiful, take it up the mountain." A voice said, and then ordered, "I see that all the people who come here are officers and soldiers, and in order to prevent retaliation, they have all been dragged here and burned with fire." ”
Chen Ji only heard the sound of footsteps, and before long, all the injured and dead warriors were dragged to the front of the car.
A dozen torches were thrown into the middle of the samurai.
In an instant, the fiery serpent sprang up, and the samurai, who had only been wounded by an arrow but had not died, let out a series of terrible screams in the fire.
The moment the carport was set on fire, Mrs. Wang was dragged out of the car.
Chen Ji was pressed under the car, surrounded by the corpse of the old mother who was smashed beyond recognition, whether it was the burning flames on the samurai's body, or the strings of fire snakes on the body of the car, all of them scorched Chen Ji, he was like a sow that was tied to four hooves and roasted on the fire, except for the big gasp, there was only non-stop wailing.
In the smoke and flames, heart-rending shouts and the laughter of mountain bandits mingled.
A lightly wounded samurai struggled to crawl out of the fire, slashed his neck bone with a knife, and then threw himself into the fire.
A woman's cry suddenly came from among the many male voices, and then, with a "bang", Mrs. Wang broke free from the control of the mountain bandits and crashed headlong into the body of the car that was spewing flames.
The big dusty feet ran over and pulled Madame Wang aside.
"It's a pity for this little lady." A voice said.
There was no human voice in the fire, most of the car body had been burned, and the clothes on Chen Ji's body had also been ignited, and this guy passed out in a strong sense of scorching and suffocation.
I don't know how long it took, but the burning pain on his body actually woke up Chen Ji wonderfully.
It was dark in front of me, the air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and water droplets were still dripping down the blackened body of the car overhead.
He suddenly realized that he was not dead.
After trying to move, he found that all but one leg was smashed and a few burns were on his body.
It turned out that a sudden heavy rain had dragged him back from the fire god's hands, and the bandits had to quickly evacuate here with their horses.
The car had been burned down for the most part, losing the heaviness just now, and Chen Ji endured the pain and climbed out from underneath.
In front of him were the corpses of samurai that had been burned like dead wood, and some of them were still emitting faint green smoke. Several steel knives with broken hilts were thrown to the ground, and rolling raindrops remained on the blades.
Not far away, Mrs. Wang's body lay there, her clothes torn by someone who didn't know who had torn them, and the blood on her face had congealed and turned purple.
After accumulating strength for a long time, Chen Ji got up.
First of all, he lay down in a low-lying place, stuck his head in a puddle of rain and blood, and ignored the pungent smell of blood, and took a few big sips.
Fortunately, the leg was not broken, and although the clothes were burned to the point that only the front and back were left, they could barely cover the body, and the burns on the back were painful.
Even so, Chen Ji did not forget to search for the dead man's pile, but unfortunately, except for a few copper blades that were burned as thin as paper, not even a trace of gold and silver was found.
Chen Ji didn't give up, and dragged one leg to Mrs. Wang's corpse, and sighed a few times in front of the blood-stained face.
"Madame, you can't blame the villain, if it weren't for Wang Sina and Wei Qing'er's slut who wanted to kill me, the villain wouldn't have done this, but it's a pity for your delicate body."
After Chen Ji finished speaking, he reached out and turned Mrs. Wang's body over, intending to find out if there was anything valuable left behind.
At that moment, the sound of galloping horses' hooves came from not far away, and he was frightened into the darkness of the roadside.
