Chapter Ninety-Five: The Mandrill (I)
After Yu Xiu joined the convoy, although the escort of the convoy accepted him, they were not very enthusiastic about him, and no one took the initiative to talk to him along the way, except for the previous woman.
Yu Xiu knew that this was the escort staff who were still wary of him, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just mixed in the corner of the team and slowly followed everyone.
As twilight approached, the convoy slowed down and began to send out men to find suitable places to stay around the trail.
Because he followed the team, Yu Xiu didn't have to look for water, firewood and other things by himself, so naturally someone in the team did it, and the other party even gave him some forage, so that the thin horse had a rare meal.
Piles of bonfires were lit around the camp, and executioners were constantly haunting the camp, presumably driving away wild beasts and setting traps.
At this time, the carriage in the team opened, and the first to come out was a young maid, about two decades, a little beautiful, after she walked down, she immediately reached out to help one person inside.
The next thing that came out was the kind-hearted woman, and the other party leaned out, saw Yu Xiu who was looking over, and nodded with a smile.
"Be careful. The woman bowed her head and admonished, holding a girl of four or five in her hand. The girl's eyes were bright, holding the woman, and looking around curiously, like an enamel doll.
The three men walked out of the carriage and immediately attracted the attention of the whole convoy, and soon the female dart master of the dart team came over, talked carefully with the woman, and talked about some things about the field accommodation.
Yu Xiu brushed the horse by himself, and thought in his heart: "It seems that this dart should be to escort these three people." ”
However, he was just a traveler who was anchored, and he didn't find anything unusual in the convoy, so he was naturally busy with himself and was ready to spend the night.
After some eating, the dart team divided the night watch, the three female dependents also returned to the carriage, and Yu Xiu sat alone in the corner, hanging his head and dozing off.
Just when Yu Xiu thought it was another ordinary night, in the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes and frowned to look at the east side of the camp.
Immediately, the camp also heard the voice, and the dart team also realized that something was wrong. The old dart head in the team was awakened, and immediately asked most of the dart masters to get up and pick up their weapons in case of accidents.
"Who!"
Several figures suddenly stood up on the east side, looking at the convoy from afar, and were clearly seen by the dart masters. There was a clatter, and the dart masters immediately drew their knives and waited for them.
The entire convoy was awakened by the scene in front of them, and Yu Xiu couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so he simply woke up and looked at the camp where the atmosphere began to become tense.
The maidservant girl in the carriage also walked out and asked the old dart head about the situation, she was in a hurry, and stumbled a little, obviously nervous.
The dart master in the team naturally comforted and reassured the maid to return to the carriage and sleep peacefully. But Yu Xiu heard the dart masters whispering secretly: "This movement should be stepped on first." ”
"It's not good. ”
"There are a lot of thieves on this road, and I don't know which wave it is, and whether the number of people is more or less?" ...... Apparently the dart masters were not as confident as they had promised their maidservants, and they were equally nervous.
Then there were many figures around the camp, which made the whole convoy a little nervous, and the women themselves stepped out of the carriage and asked several questions. When she saw Yu Xiu who was awake, she smiled and nodded, as if she was comforting Yu Xiu and telling her not to panic.
The old dart leader in the team is carrying an iron gun and constantly patrolling the camp, so that everyone can cheer up and not let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes.
Each dart master clenched the equipment in his hand, as if the darkness around him would rush out of the bandits at any moment.
When Yu Xiu saw it, his brows furrowed slightly, he glanced at the carriage that lifted the curtain from time to time, shook his head lightly, stood up and walked towards the dart.
"Darthead. Yu Xiu walked up to the old dart head, arched his hand, and said, "The thief has repeatedly appeared, so he may be deceitful." Let everyone rest in batches, so as not to fall into the thieves' tricks. ”
"Huh?" When the old dart head saw Yu Xiu coming, he thought that Yu Xiu was also worried in his heart, and was about to say comfort, but he didn't expect Yu Xiu to say this.
He squinted at Yu Xiu and shook his head, "If the thieves are powerful, once they slack off a little, they will be in trouble." ”
Seeing that Yu Xiu was not arrogant or impatient, the dart head paused and said: "This time I can only endure hardship, the convoy will set off at dawn, and I also ask the little officials to rest in peace." ”
Obviously, the dart head also knew what Yu Xiu said, but he was helpless in his heart and had to do so. When Yu Xiu heard this, he also frowned slightly, and arched his hand: "Then it's troublesome." With that, he walked back into the corner and sat down to rest.
Yu Xiu would not say it explicitly, saying that he had gone out of his body and explored the surroundings, but he had not yet found the people and horses of the brigade.
At night, figures appear from all sides of the camp from time to time, making the whole team panic.
By the time dawn came, the rest of the convoy was exhausted except for Yu Xiu. At this time, Yu Xiu opened his eyes and silently looked eastward, and one figure after another appeared in the forest.
At dawn, the bandits gathered to come.
However, he didn't notice that there were warriors lurking in the forest, just ordinary bandits. Yu Xiu estimated and touched, and thought: "It's just one or twenty people." ”
The team's dart masters were fully equipped with swords, shields, and even bows. In his opinion, he should be able to cope with the past, so he doesn't need to be in the limelight.
"I don't know if it's a friend from that place, it's good to do it!" the old dart head in the team suddenly shouted.
After a while, a shout also sounded in the forest: "It's convenient, you can leave the carriage, and leave a few more girls, who want fine skin and tender meat!"
The old dart's face changed slightly, he looked at the forest with annoyance, and shouted: "Let the brothers lift their strength, don't let the bandits succeed!"
The atmosphere at the scene was tense for a moment, but the two sides were still tentative and did not do it directly.
Yu Xiu stood up and looked at it with interest as he cleaned up his things.
He had never seen bandits robbing the road, and he suddenly felt a little novel, especially the difference between the bandits in front of him and the one in the play, which was very cunning.
Suddenly, the sun in the east jumped out, the sky was bright, and the first line of daylight suddenly rushed to everyone.
Yu Xiu rode his horse and looked at the sky. Recently, the weather was clear, and the sun was already a little dazzling when it had just risen, so he had to squint.
When the old dart head saw this scene, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "It's not good!
As soon as the dart's words fell, there was a drum noise in the forest, "Grab the fuck!" "Keep the money and don't kill it!" ...... One by one, the fierce bandits suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the convoy.
However, the people in the convoy were not easy to get along with, and the camp was surrounded by traps and bows and arrows, and several bandits were killed at once, and the bandits were blocked.
"Fuck it!" "Grab the money!!"
The two men and horses fought, and although the convoy was well-manned, the dart masters were exhausted all night and could not immediately repel the bandits.
Yu Xiu looked at the stalemate convoy and bandits, and was wondering whether to make a move. A roar suddenly sounded in the forest, and an object rushed out like a tiger.
This thing just appeared, and immediately tore a few people, and blood spilled out, which shocked everyone on the field!
"The Eight Kings are here! The Eight Kings are here!" the bandits suddenly shouted, and suddenly they fell to the ground, as if to greet the thing.
When everyone in the convoy saw the comer, their faces suddenly changed in shock, and their bodies kept shaking......
