Chapter 29: The Trap
Although Lizhou is prosperous, there is no shortage of poor people, besides, who would be afraid of more money?
So Wen Tao and the others were quickly targeted by people with bad intentions.
They left Wen Mansion and walked south for two days, passing through a barren land on the way, where they encountered a gang of robbers.
"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy your life!"
In the woods, behind the rocks, a few big men suddenly jumped out.
The leader is tall and strong, with a face full of flesh, a fierce light in his eyes, and a big knife in his hand, dragged to the ground, and the weight should not be light.
His men, some with maces in their hands and axes on their shoulders, were all heavy weapons with great power, which showed that they were a group of outlaws.
Wen Tao's five entourages quickly protected Wen Tao, Wen Yan, and Ye Dong in the middle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a hurry, and we don't have much silver taels with us, but since we are passing through your land, it is not impossible to leave some money, so we should make friends with you. Wen Tao was not shocked or afraid, and said calmly.
Then he glanced at one of the entourages with a calm bearing, this person was about forty years old, named Chen Xiong, who had been following Wen Tao for many years, during which he had experienced countless trials and tribulations, and his cultivation was unfathomable, and he was loyal to Wen Tao and won Wen Tao's trust.
Chen Xiong nodded slightly, got off the horse, took out a bag of silver from his bag, walked forward, and said, "Didn't you ask the heroes for their names?"
The bandit leader laughed a few times and said: "Lao Tzu will not change his name, he will not change his surname, and Li Dazhu, a good man in the green forest, will also!"
Ye Dong couldn't help but laugh, this name is really funny, but the name of the sledgehammer is a big knife.
Li Dazhui motioned to his subordinates to take the silver, opened it and looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
This guy is really generous!
The script was not written like this, and Li Dazhui was a little stunned for a while.
It was still a reminder from his subordinates to bring him back to his senses.
"That's it, why are you going to call Hanako?" Li Dazhui shouted with wide eyes and a rough voice.
Wen Tao's eyes changed, and he glanced at Chen Xiong, and the two of them knew that the purpose of these robbers was not pure, it seemed that they were not just here for money.
Although these people are fierce and vicious, and there are many of them, Wen Tao is not afraid of them, but as a businessman, he has always valued harmony and made money with harmony, and he doesn't want to make trouble.
Wen Tao immediately ordered Chen Xiong to take some silver, and said to Li Dazhui: "This is easy to say, don't dare to snub the heroes." ”
Li Dazhui took the silver and checked it in his hand, it was quite heavy, and it seemed that there was a lot of it.
He smiled and said: "You old guy, you are not honest, there must be a lot of good things hidden, please present them together, so as to save the uncles from doing it themselves." ”
Wen Yan was furious and said to Wen Tao: "Dad, this is a bunch of scoundrels, insatiable, it's better to send them away as soon as possible." ”
Wen Yan's "dismissal" naturally refers to the use of force to beat them away.
Li Dazhui said: "Ignorant boy, dare to speak wildly, are you not afraid that your life will be guaranteed?" After speaking, he still stood in place, and had no intention of coming up to do it.
He just stopped in the middle of the road, with a mysterious smile on his face, the meaning of which was unknown, as if he was waiting for something.
Ye Dong felt ominous in his heart, and smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Wen Tao frowned, and he also felt that something was wrong.
In the middle of the day, Ye Dong suddenly felt very uncomfortable, dizzy, and weak.
The rest of the people seemed to be the same, Wen Tao stumbled and almost couldn't stand on his feet, Wen Yan hurriedly helped him.
Chen Xiong and the others also felt that their bodies were hollowed out, and they couldn't exert their strength and luck.
Not good!
Having a problem with what we ate last night!
Several people looked at each other, their faces changed, and they all realized that this was a trap.
A well-planned trap specifically for the Wen family.
Those who were able to use their hands and feet to drugged their meals meant that this person was working in the kitchen and was in charge of the Wen family's meals.
But why now?
"Hahahaha," Li Da Sledgehammer waved his big knife, "It seems that the effect of the medicine has taken effect." ”
A middle-aged man next to him who was dressed in gray and looked a little out of place with this group of bandits, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Wen Tao, do you still know me?"
Wen Tao looked at him fixedly, looked at it carefully, and after half a sound, said, "Are you ...... Lu Hai. ”
"You still remember," Lu Hai's face distorted, "The hatred of taking his wife is not shared, after so many years, what I have been waiting for is today." ”
Wen Yan said: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of hatred for taking away his wife, my father and my mother love each other and respect each other like guests, and you are just wishful thinking and wishful thinking." ”
"Hahaha......" Lu Hai laughed wildly, "Is that really the case? Back then, Xiaoxian and I were a couple, but your father deceived me into being poor, made a stumbling block from it, and snatched Xiaoxian away from me." ”
Wen Yan said: "With what you are doing today, it can be seen that your character is poor, and my mother is right to choose my father." ”
Lu Hai sneered and said, "I'm afraid you haven't seen your father's ugly appearance, too, the Wen family is also a big family in Lizhou, of course, you have to take care of your face, create a good image, and be praised by the world." ”
"Fame and fortune, such as beautiful flowers, children and daughters, father and son filial piety, Wen Tao, you are so blessed!"
Lu Hai's tone was full of resentment and jealousy.
Wen Tao sighed and said, "Why mention the past, you and I are already old, it's time to let go." ”
Lu Haidao: "I will never forget the humiliation you gave me, and over the years, I have been reminding myself all the time not to forget to take revenge." ”
"You must be very strange why you were drugged, and you didn't realize it at the time, but now you find out that it's because one of you is a miraculous medicine called Shixiang Soft Tendon San. ”
Lu Haimian was triumphant, paused, and continued: "This Ten Spices Soft Tendon Powder is not a deadly poison, the middle one has sore muscles and bones, and his limbs are weak, but it will not attack immediately, and the effect of the medicine will only appear at noon the next day." In the wine and food, not only will it not be noticed, but it will become more fragrant and increase people's appetite. ”
Sure enough, the Wen family has internal ghosts.
Ye Dong and the others were moved, such a thorough and accurate layout, they must have learned in advance that they were going to Hongmeng City, first drugged, and then intercepted halfway.
Chen Xiong said in a low voice: "Master, you and Young Master and Ye Dong go quickly, there is me here, and I will stop them." Then he said to one of the people beside him, "Second one, you protect the lord and go first." ”
The second brother in his mouth is his sworn brother Ren Tieniu.
Ren Tieniu looked at Lu Hai, his eyes were red, and said, "The little brother will definitely protect the master to the death." ”
Li Dazhui raised his knife and said, "Do it!"
Lu Hai took out a long sword, and with a "choking" sound, the sword was unsheathed, and he rushed over first.
These four people are worthy of Wen Tao's trust and dependence, although they have won the ten spices and soft tendons, they are still extraordinary.
And the other party doesn't seem to be an ordinary robber, and his ability is also quite high, and he fights evenly for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish.
Ren Tieniu escorted Ye Dong and the three of them and withdrew to the rear.
Ye Dong secretly said to himself, this ten-incense soft tendon is really powerful, he can't use all his strength nine times out of ten, he just relies on his will to strengthen his qi and support it.
In this state, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, most of the throwing knives cannot be launched, so they can only flee as soon as possible.
During this period, Ye Dong looked back, but Li Dazhui and the others did not catch up. It seems that although the four members of the Wen family were poisoned, they still had a few brushes. was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when his heart suddenly jumped and he was shocked.
There is a murderous aura!
