Shen Yan didn't want to put his life here, because he was worried, and he didn't want Sang Sang to be sad because of him.

Xiao Wu and the others don't want to put their lives here, because they still have a task to do, and if they are in the hands of these unpopular mountain bandits, it will be too much of a loss.

The confrontation between the two sides fell into unprecedented anxiety, the mountain bandits were red-eyed, and Shen Yan's desire to survive also reached its peak.

Just as they were inseparable, clusters of firelight suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Someone is here again!

The red-eyed mountain bandit suddenly stopped, with a little horror on his face.

"Boss, someone is coming down the mountain again, it's their reinforcements!"

"Boss, are we going to continue?"

The mountain bandit boss also had several wounds on his body, although it was not fatal, but it provoked his killing intent even more violently, and at this time, there was still a bloodthirsty murderous aura in his eyes.

He was not willing to retreat like this.

But the cacophony was getting nearer, and the cuckoo in the forest seemed to be alarmed, and let out a few rapid screams.

The murderous aura in the eyes of the mountain bandit boss finally faded, and his heart was unwilling to be suppressed by hatred.

He stared at Shen Yan coldly, and then spit out a word viciously, "Withdraw!" ”

When the mountain bandits heard this, they all stopped fighting, turned around and retreated to the mountain.

They were familiar with the place, and they lived in the woods all year round, and even though they were wounded, they were in good shape.

In a short time, they were gone.

Seeing this, Shen Yan and the others relaxed a little bit at this time, but they couldn't completely relax.

Because they were suspicious of the identity of the so-called reinforcements, and they didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, they could only remain on guard.

Until the other party approached, Chu Heng called out the other party's name.

"Han Peng."

The other party also saw Chu Heng, and his originally anxious face suddenly showed a look of surprise, he strode forward and directly supported Chu Heng, "Childe, are you okay?" ”

Seeing this, Shen Yan knew that the other party was Chu Heng's person, and his originally hanging heart completely relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan also saw a familiar person, and the one who followed closely behind Han Peng was Xi Junwei, the head catcher of the county government.

"Xi Catcher!"

Xi Junwei was also surprised when he saw Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, why are you here?" You're hurt? ”

Shen Yan shook his head, "I'm fine, how many people did you bring this time?" We have already fought a battle with those bandits, killed some of them, and wounded many others, so we can take this opportunity to exterminate them in one fell swoop and never suffer again. ”

If they have enough people, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although he was injured, if this could be done, his injury would be nothing at all, and he could still let it go.

But Xi Junwei's face was quite ugly, "I only brought more than 20 people, you know, they can fight a few, and you are injured again, if we really fight this group of bandits, there is no chance of winning at all." ”

When Shen Yan heard this, a burst of disappointment suddenly appeared in his heart.

There are only about 20 people, and they really don't have the confidence to go head-to-head with those mountain bandits.

Such a great opportunity, I am afraid that it will be missed.

Xi Junwei looked around and saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, even if he was a big man, in such an environment, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"Let's hurry up, or it will be bad if the bandits find out that there are only so many of us."

Although Shen Yan regretted it in his heart, he was short of manpower, and he would not be angry for a while, and he insisted on sending him to death.

Shen Yan turned to ask and check the situation of Xiao Wu and the others, but fortunately, they were only injured and did not die, so he was completely relieved.

It was he who brought people out, and now they are injured and go back, and there is no way to explain it, and if someone dies, it will be even more impossible to explain.

Han Peng and another subordinate hugged Chu Heng and moved extremely carefully.

While descending the mountain, everyone exchanged messages.

Chu Heng was taken captive in the Xu Ji Trading Company, but he was not a member of the Xu Ji Trading Company, but went on the road with Xu Ji for the convenience of the road.

They intended to seek refuge, but instead of doing so, they brought trouble to themselves.

Chu Heng only brought a total of ten people with him, before the incident, Han Peng and seven other subordinates were sent by Chu Heng to run errands elsewhere, everyone made an appointment to meet in Lin'an County, and he left two of his subordinates by his side.

And those two subordinates were attacked by the other party from behind in the fight with the mountain bandits, and they were directly killed, and Chu Heng was caught on the mountain.

Han Peng and the remaining seven subordinates rushed to Lin'an County at the agreed time, but only waited for the ransacked caravan and the frightened Xu Ji shopkeeper, and after asking, they learned that their son-in-law was captured by mountain bandits.

Han Peng naturally went to report to the official immediately, and asked Peng County to immediately send troops to suppress the bandits, and Peng County ordered to be very cooperative, and immediately asked Xi Junwei to organize people to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

However, the county government does not have the right to garrison troops, and there are not many people who can be deployed, and they are all crooked melons and cracked dates.

In addition, it is night now, and it will take time to gather people, so Han Peng couldn't wait, so he directly took these twenty or so people to Lingyun Mountain first.

These 20 or so people have to deal with more than 100 mountain bandits, but fortunately, the other party is timid and was directly scared away, otherwise they would have to rescue people, but I am afraid that it will take some effort.

Han Peng felt very remorseful for failing to protect Chu Heng.

"Childe, it's all the fault of your subordinates, let Childe fall into danger, and subordinates shouldn't leave Childe half a step!"

Everyone else pleaded guilty.

Chu Heng was still very weak when he spoke, "It's not your fault, I sent you out." ”

Although Chu Heng did not blame, Han Peng and the others still blamed themselves very much.

Over there, Xi Junwei also asked what Shen Yan was about, why he appeared here, and Shen Yan didn't hide it, and truthfully told the matter one by one.

Xi Junwei was shocked when he heard this, "You, you are so bold!" You're so damn bad! ”

Shen Yan also knew that his actions were a bit risky, but if these mountain bandits were not eliminated for a day, they would become a disaster in the township one day, and he really couldn't look past it.

Han Peng learned that it was Shen Yan who saved his son-in-law, and immediately showed great gratitude to him.

"This official, thank you for saving my son's life! This love, I, Han Peng, have written it down, if you have any requirements, just mention it, I will definitely do it! ”

Shen Yan came to the rescue, not because of their repayment, but just because of temporary compassion.

The other party wanted to repay, but Shen Yan had no reason to refuse.

He said: "It is not my own work, but my brothers have been blessed with more or less color, so ask them what they mean if you want to repay it." ”

Han Peng immediately said: "You are all the benefactors of my son-in-law, naturally you have to repay, if you have any requirements, just mention it, as long as it is within our ability, we will definitely do it!" ”

Shen Yan was a little unsure of the other party's origin, but just looking at Chu Heng's appearance and bearing, he was afraid that he was also from a rich background, but how rich he was, he didn't know.

Shen Yan could have asked the other party for a sum of silver in return, but he didn't.

Because every good fate he has formed now may have unexpected gains in the future, and it would be a pity if he only used his life to ask for silver.
