When Liu Jizu heard this, he let everyone follow this person into the valley. He rode a horse and stayed at the end, and Seventh Sister and Ye Zi also followed on horseback, and the three of them chatted as they walked.

In the valley, as the man said, only the entrance and exit were relatively narrow, and almost all of them were dug out by hand. Most of the inside is quite wide, and in many places it can accommodate two cars in parallel without even digging and widening. But they did not encounter a chariot coming from the opposite side, but after they entered the valley, some caravans followed.

Liu Jizu has been vigilant against these people, but these people have always kept a distance of more than twenty steps from them, and there is no further action, and Liu Jizu has not seen anything abnormal.

Finally, they came to the mouth of the valley smoothly, and it was not until they saw Hou Huaigu that Liu Jizu finally put his mind at ease.

The two exchanged their experiences, and when Hou Huaigu heard that they had injured the fifty-seven people of Wuwei Valley, he slapped his thigh happily, "Great, if I guess correctly, they will no longer dare to send a large team of men and horses to chase and kill us, and Gu Nei can't afford such a loss at all." Now that the disciples outside the valley have detoxified all of them have left one after another, the strength of Wuwei Valley has been greatly reduced, and they don't dare to do it anymore. But be careful that they send assassins to poison us, and explain it to Feng Dingkun, so that he can pay more attention to our diet and water. ”

Liu Jizu nodded and agreed with Hou Huaigu's proposal. Yes, this matter must not be careless, not to mention the assassins of the academy, it is difficult to say whether the families of the four evils will send someone to assassinate themselves. With such a large group of people, the goal is too obvious, it is easy to be tracked, and you must take precautions!

Seeing that it was getting late, they set up camp outside a town again.

Su Mengqi and Fan Cheng went shopping, Wu Lun took the adults to cook, and Elder Long, Feng Dingkun, Liu Jizu, and Bao Chongyi began to teach those children. They divided the children into four groups and taught them separately.

This method was proposed by Bao Chongyi to Liu Jizu, saying that it could improve the effect of learning. Liu Jizu was very satisfied with this proposal, and he personally grouped them:

Among them, Elder Long, Hou Huaigu and Liu Jizu are the three with the highest level of martial arts, who are responsible for teaching martial arts, with Elder Long as the mainstay, and Hou Huaigu and Liu Jizu assisting when they have time;

Feng Dingkun and several pharmacists were responsible for teaching medical skills;

Liu Jizu took the seventh sister and Ye Zi to teach archery;

Bao Chongyi is responsible for teaching them to read and write;

Hou Huaigu was also responsible for taking the Four Heroes and the rest of the medical warriors and poison warriors in shifts to guard, patrol and explore the way.

In this way, the whole team seems to be in order, everyone has something to do, and the teaching effect is much better. These children are in the best stage of learning knowledge, learning everything quickly, and after a long time, everyone's interests and hobbies can slowly appear, and then they will be taught according to their aptitude, and taught separately and separately.

More than half an hour later, Su Mengqi and Fan Cheng, who were in charge of purchasing, came back. This time they bought a lot of food, and they also bought fifteen bows and three hundred arrows. It seems that there are many hunters here because of the mountains and forests, and these things are not easy to buy in the plains. For this reason, Liu Jizu also told the two to continue to buy, buy them as long as they saw them, and asked them to slowly modify these cars according to the style of Elder Long's car, and put more secret compartments to store these things that could not be brought into the city.

The two of them took the order, and this was arranged. Because there happens to be carpenters in this town, give more money, and you can change a few cars in one night tonight.

At this time, Wu Lun's dinner was also ready.

Since Wu Lun was in charge of cooking, everyone's food has improved significantly, and their mood has improved a lot. Especially the people and children who stayed, it would be good for them to have a full meal at home, otherwise how could they buy and sell their daughters. Now they can not only eat enough, but in order not to affect the development of these children, Liu Jizu requires that there be fish, meat or eggs every meal, and the food tastes better than the bought.

In addition, in order to grasp the situation of the entire team, Liu Jizu also asked Su Mengqi to calculate, and after averaging the regular expenses, each person would spend about 200 yuan a day. There are now a total of one hundred and sixty of them, and this day is almost thirty-two taels of silver, of course, this is only the cost of feeding horses and repairing cars, not counting the cost of buying bows and arrows, medicinal herbs and other production and living items. And now, in order to eat with peace of mind, they try to cook and eat by themselves, and no longer buy cooked food, which saves a lot of money. In addition, they are camped in the wilderness and sleep in the car without staying in a hotel, which also saves a lot of money.

Although they still have more than 30,000 taels of silver, which sounds like a lot, they can't always walk on the road like this, and they must always settle down! That must be another large amount of money, it seems that it is really not easy to be the home of so many people! After thinking about this, Liu Jizu sighed, thinking that it is better to escape from Jiangbei Province first, find Shizu and then make plans!

Everyone had eaten supper and taught the children by the campfire for an hour, and everyone rested.

Liu Jizu was tired for a long time, although he made up for some sleep during the day yesterday, but from last night until now, he and Hou Huaigu and others have not rested, and they have long been sleepy.

Therefore, after dinner, the two dozen or so of them did not teach, but all went to rest in the car.

That night, when Liu Jizu was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard Laifu's violent barking, he turned over and sat up, he suddenly had a very bad feeling, and the seventh sister who was sleeping next to him also woke up.

He lifted the curtain and saw that it was dark all around, it was the darkest time before dawn, and he said to the seventh sister: "You hurry up and clean up, there is movement at this time, it won't be a good thing, it is estimated that there is an enemy coming!"

After saying that, he got out of the car and began to sort out the horses and his weapons, and the seventh sister also sorted them out with him, and many people around him were also woken up by the cry of Laifu, and they all came to their senses and sorted out and prepared together.

After he and the seventh sister were sorted out, the spies sent by Hou Huaigu to the back road rode back. The spy was a little surprised when he saw that Liu Jizu was already waiting on the side of the road on horseback, "Childe, there is a large group of soldiers coming towards us, I can't estimate the number, but there are five hundred." And unlike the soldiers I had seen before, these soldiers were all armored and heavily armed. I saw them from afar and came back as soon as I reported it, and I guess they would be with us in less than a quarter of an hour. ”

At this time, Hou Huaigu, Elder Long, Feng Dingkun, Wu Lun, Su Mengqi, Fan Cheng, Bao Chongyi and others had already risen, and they all came to Liu Jizu's side. Liu Jizu talked about the situation he had just heard from the spy, and everyone was a little strange, but they didn't expect that the officers and soldiers who had always been timid would dare to come to hunt them down, and they didn't know where they were sent.

Liu Jizu thought more, he killed the four evils, offended the important ministers of the court and the academy, he killed Jiang Yao, offended the prince of Chu, Li Kai and Wuwei Valley, he also killed the white fat man and the fanged ghost, how could the court and the king of Chu be willing to give up. It is only a matter of time before they encounter officers and soldiers, but it is not known how effective these officers and soldiers are.

He said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, whether these officers and soldiers are coming at us or not, we must be ready for battle. Please Senior Hou organize all those who know martial arts, and prepare with me to meet the enemy. Please grandfather and master to guard our camp, fence off the vehicles as fortifications, and all of you take your bows and arrows and weapons and prepare for battle. We only have time to prepare for half a stick of incense. ”

Everyone listened to this, and then they all acted quickly.

Soon, under the command of Hou Huaigu and Elder Long, they surrounded the vehicles in a circle for defense, and mules, horses, and people who didn't know martial arts were inside. Then the rest of the cars were placed along both sides of the road, and each of the two cars was separated by a certain distance, until a distance of about fifty steps, so that Liu Jizu and the others could hide between the two cars first. And the road is also narrowed because of the vehicle blockage, and the other party cannot attack many people at the same time at once, so the two or three soldiers in front of the line can attack first, which greatly reduces the pressure on Liu Jizu and others.

Fan Cheng distributed all the ninety-three bows to those who did not know martial arts, and they helped each other to string well, and each person with a bow also received twenty arrows. The other conventional weapons had already been distributed to everyone before, and under the leadership of Elder Long and Wu Lun, they were guarding the circle formed by the vehicles and making preparations.

Liu Jizu took the rest of the people to wait in the gap between the vehicles on the side of the road on horseback, and got out of the way to facilitate the people behind to shoot arrows.

The half-burnt incense time passed quickly, and by this time they could already hear the sound of a large army marching in the distance.

Fortunately this time, Hou Huaigu was cautious, and spies were arranged in the front and back, and after discovering the abnormality, he was able to come back in advance to report the news.

Laifu heard the sound of the spies' hooves and gave a warning, so everyone had such a little time to prepare in advance, otherwise it would be too late to wait for the others to kill in front of them.

At this time, with the bright starlight in the sky, the team in the distance could already faintly see the black shadow of the other party, and Liu Jizu's heart was also raised.

As the distant team got closer and closer to them, and the soldiers in front of them were adjusting the number of soldiers in the front row according to the distance to the other side and the condition of the road.

And, as the spy had said, the other side was all cavalry, and there was no noise in the whole procession except for the sound of horses' hooves and the clash of armor and weapons, and it seemed to be a well-disciplined team.

At this time, the other party was only about three hundred steps away from Liu Jizu and them, and those soldiers also saw them, but the soldiers did not stop because the other party was prepared, but began to speed up with a long whistle.

Liu Jizu thought to himself, "Oh no! This is about to charge." As he took off his bow and arrows, he shouted behind him, "Shoot the arrows, shoot first, then shoot flat!"
