Chapter 1: The Bandits

Next Chapter

A convoy slowly passed through the mountains and forests, guarded by a team of knights, and each car had a flag planted on it, and a large character was written on it - Chu.

A small head with a tiger head cap sticks out of a car, looks around with a probe, and then shrinks back.

"A-Niang hasn't played with us for a long time, and you want to play with A-Niang too, right? Let's play a game of peek-a-boo with her, shall we?" said his sister, a four-year-old boy who was half-hugging his spitting bubbles.

My sister is only two years old, and she obviously doesn't know what her brother is talking about, so she just hugged her brother and laughed silly, and her saliva wet her brother's collar.

"I knew you liked peek-a-boo. The little boy laughed and pushed the girl up the quilt like a ball, and the girl rolled her eyes dizzy, but she thought it was funny and giggled.

The little boy took the quilt and covered the girl.

However, my sister obviously didn't want to be covered, so she grabbed it with her two small hands and quickly exposed her head.

The little boy stretched out his finger to his lips: "Don't make a sound, it's like at home, wait for your mother to come to you, don't make a sound, we'll scare her, okay?"

"Brother, hug. The girl ignored what the little boy said, stretched out two little hands like pink lotus, and made a reasonable request to her brother in the words she had just learned.

"I can't hold you. The little boy rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't play, I won't hug you." ”

"Woo~woo~" The girl understood the only sentence, and immediately her eyes flashed and she wanted to spit out tears.

"Don't cry. The boy took off the tiger hat on his head and handed it to his sister: "I will borrow you to play for a while, then you will not be allowed to cry." ”

The younger sister was really attracted to the attention of the tiger head hat, and immediately stopped crying, and the two little hands pulled the hat and began to giggle again.

"Don't stain my hat, just lend it to you, not yours. The boy wiped a handful of saliva from the girl's mouth that was about to drip onto her hat, then re-covered his sister with the quilt, and immediately turned and climbed out of the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, a tall black shadow covered the little boy's sight: "Where are you going to play, your mother is not in good health, don't walk around, and make her worry again." And I'm on my way, I'll lose you later, and I'll see what you do. ”

"I'm going to find A-Niang. The little boy laughed, and with some cunning deity he avoided his father's eyes, and at once shook off his little feet and tried to catch up with a carriage in front of him.

Another younger knight patted Chu Rufeng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Your kid is a big ghost, he is a material, and when he arrives at his own family, he will definitely be better than you in the future." ”

Chu Rufeng looked at the child who climbed into the carriage with his calves on his legs, and smiled bitterly: "If this kid can not make me angry one day, I should be thankful." ”

"Don't say it, your kid is a tiger, when he was in the village before, even the barbarians who were two years older than him were afraid of him. The children in this family are all handed over by the chief teacher, and your children are there to practice with him for a few days, which is much better than those of us who grew up practicing chaotically. The younger knight lowered his voice and said, "And the girls in Nanyang City are much better looking than the village girls in the countryside like us." ”

Chu Rufeng slapped the other party from the hilt of the knife, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Chu Lianli, you are so desperate to enter the house to see the girl." ”

"Hey, otherwise why don't you say I'm still married. This time, we can let our brothers get out of the way, let the winter teaching practice take a fancy to us, and when we enter our house, we will fly on the branches and become phoenixes. Chu Lianli showed an intoxicated look, as if a flower girl was waving to him.

"What flies on the branches, that's the words of the wives. Chu Rufeng really had no choice about this old man, and when he looked up and saw the knight at the front of the team, his eyes were full of reverence.

The Nanyang Chu family, one of the eight great families in the world, together with the other seven, occupies the eight states and counties in the southwest of the Xia Dynasty, and even the imperial family can only turn a blind eye to the eight giants who have a longer history than the founding of the dynasty.

The history of the Nanyang Chu family can be traced back to the mythical era 10,000 years ago, the family has a big business, and the descendants of the Chu surname are naturally all over the world, and Chu Rufeng was originally just a person from the Nanyang Chu family, but he has worked hard since he was a child, plus his qualifications are good, at this time he is already a master at the peak of the Taixuan Realm, and he has made a lot of contributions to the family and Chu Xianli, who grew up together since childhood.

The family has clear rewards and punishments, so they authorized the two to escort the goods this time, and moved to the family in Nanyang City with their families, and they will be members of the family in the future. Moreover, after seeing his skills, Xi Chudong, the tutor who led the team this time, even said that he had the opportunity to reach the realm of heaven and man before the age of forty.

Whether or not Xiu Wei can reach the Heavenly and Human Realm is not the most important thing for Chu Rufeng now, and he is still excited that he can enter his own family. When he arrives at home, he can hire the best doctor to heal his wife, so that his two children can live a better life, and even be able to read and write, so that he no longer has to go hungry in the summer and cold in the winter like when he was a child. As a father, this is the thing he is most proud of.

The little guy climbed into the carriage, and the woman on the soft chair was sick, but when she saw her son, she still smiled: "What's the matter, sister, where did you let Aunt Lan go?"

"My sister is hiding. The boy took his mother's hand and said, "Let's go find her." ”

The woman smiled and held the child in her lap: "My sister is so naughty." Can you help me find her out?"

The boy broke free from his mother's arms and fell to the ground, still holding his mother's hand: "I can't find her, I can't find her until A-Niang comes." ”

"That's right. The woman looked into the child's hopeful eyes, propped herself up, and found that it had taken her a lot of effort.

The boy did not notice his mother's weakness, but was happy that his mother was willing to play with him, and took her hand and walked out of the car with some eagerness.

The speed of the car is not much faster than walking on foot, the convoy is carrying a lot of valuable goods, and it is also Qishan where the thieves in Yangzhou are panicking, but the people in the convoy are all relaxed, because the car is planted with the flag of the Chu family, and it has been decades since the last time someone openly robbed the Chu family's truck in Yangzhou.

Some outlaws or outlaws or thieves who have no fixed place will dare to attack the Chu family in the place that Nanyang City thinks, but there is no bandit in Yangzhou who dares to attack the Chu family's convoy, unless they want the nest to be uprooted.

The only one in the team who is always on guard is only one person, who leads the team's winter teaching. As a master of the realm of heaven and man, it is already his instinct to be vigilant at all times, and he will not think that no one dares to slap the tiger's whiskers just because he is a member of the Chu family.

"Keep your eyes shining, grandma,, you can still sleep on a horse. "Dong Jiao Xi just reminded his subordinates that when they saw a knight sleeping while walking, they didn't know whether to admire or be angry.

"Teach Xi, you can rest assured, our family is hanging this Chu character flag, which one dares to come if you don't want to die? And there is a master of teaching you, even if there is a cottage in this area, a blind person can only escape. The wiped his saliva and laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll do whatever I say. Dong Jiaoxi snorted, his clansmen were really getting more and more unpresentable.

However, the is right, the Chuzi Banner in Yangzhou is more useful than the Holy Decree, and a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm is in charge, and most of the snakes, insects, rats and ants dare not approach.

But there are no absolutes in everything, and when an arrow is shot into the sky, most of the knights are still in a daze, full of doubts about this arrow.

What woke them up was a rain of arrows.

There aren't many arrows, but they are dense on this small mountain road.

"Carjacking, vigilance. Dong Jiaoxi roared, and was the first to greet the rain of arrows.

He drew the long sword at his waist and swung it forward, a white sword light shot out of it, and most of the arrows were swept down, but it was obvious that many of the archers were cultivated, and a few sharp arrows flew high over the sword light and shot into the crowd behind the winter sect.

However, this knight is the knight of the Chu family, and all of them are masters of the Taixuan Realm, and they have come to their senses in a short period of time.

The knights drew their weapons, mostly long swords, to block the sharp arrows that slipped through the net, and after a rain of arrows, no one was injured, and the knights quickly formed a formation to protect the vehicle.

"There are really people who dare to rob our Chu family's car. Brother Feng, what now?" Chu Lianli habitually approached Chu Rufeng, and the perennial birth and death together made them form this habit.

"There is a winter teaching, what are you afraid of. After Chu Rufeng finished speaking, he suddenly drove forward and said to his wife, who leaned out half of her body from the car: "Go in, don't come out." ”

The shouts of killing suddenly sounded, and dozens of sturdy bandits rushed down from the mountainside.

The knights of the Chu family all have martial arts, and the formation is not chaotic, and the two knights face the crowd rushing over like sharp arrows.

The speed at which the bandits fell too fast, which was originally their advantage, but at this time it became a talisman, and it was only ordinary bandits who ran in the front, raising their knives and guns to cut the knights, but under the sharp swords glowing with white light, the knives and spears broke, and five or six bandits were cut to the ground at the first time, and the sharp arrows composed of the crowd immediately collapsed the arrows.

After the first touch, it was the two knights who were surprised, for the bandits did not hesitate at the rapid fall of their companions, their eyes were all red, unusually red, and they pounced on them regardless of their lives.

Not everyone of the Chu family's knights has reached the peak of Taixuan's cultivation, and there are not no masters among the bandits.

Cutting down five or six people slowed down the movements of the two knights, and taking advantage of this gap, one of the bandits pounced on the weapons of the two knights, and the long sword pierced the body of the pounced bandits, but the thieves hanging on the sword grabbed the long sword with both hands, and did not let go even if they died.

The two knights were able to shake the corpse on the sword away with the true element, but it was obviously not comparable to the speed of the bandits, and more than a dozen bandits grabbed their weapons and pounced, knocking the two knights off their horses, and piercing their bodies with many weapons.

Before the other knights could make amends, the horse team was swept away from the middle, and more bandits poured in, some surround the back half of the convoy, and some rushed to the carriage that had escaped from the encirclement.

In the car are his wife and children, where can Chu Rufeng let these bandits get close, the saber was pulled out, and the cold light attached to the knife cut off the two stabbing iron spears, and then cut them again, and the heads of the two bandits fell to the ground.

Chu Lianli also repelled several bandits on the other side of the carriage, escorting the carriage and rushing forward.

Dong Jiaoxi turned around and saw that the convoy was separated at once, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to turn around and beat the horse to support, at this time, the grass and trees in front of him moved, and it was a horse team that rushed out, and the first two big men were bigger than the people around them, one was blind in the left eye, and the other was blind in the right eye, and Yang Fan, who was blind in the left eye, rushed over and laughed: "Nanyang Chu family, you can know my trapped dragon Yang Fan." ”

"The two heavenly realms, grandma's, the first horse gang and the first cottage in Yangzhou are here. , old horse, follow me, and the others protect the convoy away. Dongjiaoxi's face sank like water, and he led two of his most powerful men to meet the horse team in front.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, blood splashed, Dong Jiao Xi swung Yang Fan's sledgehammer with a sword, and then backhanded a sword, a sword light shot at Yang Ban, who was blind in his right eye, the latter saw the cold light, the sword qi was compelling, and he was surprised by the strong strength of the Chu family teacher, and hurriedly flew off the horse, his mount couldn't dodge, and was cut by a sword, and the blood was dripping.

The and the old horse each wielded their swords and smashed into a team of nearly twenty people, and they bloomed in all directions, blocking the entire team.

Chu Rufeng and his brother Chu Lianli were guarding the carriage alone, they were in the last place of the front convoy after being separated by the bandits, and the bandits rushed to drive the convoy away, but all the knights of the Chu family had good skills, and they immediately resisted the attack of the bandits.

"Hahaha, there are still people in the Chu family who don't use swords?" At this time, another group of bandits rushed down from the mountain, and the number of them was even hundreds, and many of them emitted cold light with weapons in their hands, obviously masters of the Taixuan Realm.

This group of people rushed down and instantly joined the encirclement of the rear convoy, leaving only a dozen knights behind, and under the attack of completely crazy bandits, half of them were quickly killed and wounded.

Chu Rufeng and the others could only block the bandits who came forward, or these bandits blocked them, so that they could not rescue the people in the rear at all.

"The one who wields the knife has played tricks with grandpa. At this moment, among the bandits in the rear, a fat man like a mountain of meat laughed strangely, raised a large knife as long as his body and flew out.

It's hard to imagine what a big fat man looks like when he flies, but Chu Rufeng feels that this is definitely not a funny thing.

"Brother Li, hold on. ”

"Nonsense. ”

Chu Rufeng and Chu Lianli jumped out of the horse team, the sword in their hands was shining, and at the same time slashed at the fat man in the air.

The three weapons were connected, and with a bang, the horses under Chu Rufeng and the two suddenly exploded in a neigh, and the flesh and blood spilled five or six feet away.

Chu Rufeng and Chu Lianli were pressed to the ground by a huge force, but the two cooperated seamlessly, Chu Rufeng suddenly slapped his brother, making him leave the pressure of the big knife, and the latter flew into the fat man's arms with his strength and kicked on the other party's chest.

The fat man's body was bigger than the two of them combined, but he was still kicked up by Chu Lianli, like a mountain falling, pressing on the bandits behind him.

"Damn, let's go first. "Chu Dong alone fights two masters of the same realm of heaven and man, although he has the upper hand, but the purpose of the two bandit leaders is only to contain him, so that he can't get out of his way, Chu Dong saw that the situation in the rear was critical, and knew that if he delayed any longer, the entire convoy would have to be explained here, so he immediately decided to give up the second half of the convoy.

The knights who were still protecting the convoy heard this, seeing that there were not many people left in the second half of the convoy, but no one showed a frightened look, they also heard the words of the teaching, and they also knew the seriousness of the situation, and the remaining few people even more bravely chose to rush into the surrounding bandits, fighting with those masters of the Taixuan Realm, and no longer protecting the vehicle.

Chu Rufeng and the others saw the death intentions of several knights, and one of the oldest old knights gritted his teeth, but still ordered everyone to block the bandits while escorting the carriage to leave quickly.

After Chu Rufeng and Chu Lianli broke off, they stopped the bandits, those bandits were not very good, but their purpose was not to kill people, and they didn't pay much attention to the first half of the convoy that escaped, only the huge fat man was still slashing at the two like crazy, but it didn't hinder the retreat of the carriage.

Chu Dong and the three of them struggled to suppress the horse team in front, and the knights even concentrated their forces on a charge, killing six people in a row, and finally let more than ten cars rush out.

"Ah Feng, let's go. Seeing that the convoy passed safely, Chu Dong immediately shouted backwards for his surviving subordinates to leave.

Chu Rufeng blocked the big knife alone, his feet sank deep into the ground, and Chu Lianli took this opportunity to slash out with a sword, cutting off an arm thicker than his waist.

The fat man lost his arm and howled angrily, regardless of whether he had a weapon or not, he swung his fist and hit Chu Lianli, the fist was wrapped in a ball of light, if it was hit, the rock would crack, only Chu Lianli, who was cultivated in the Taixuan Realm, of course could not resist with his physical body, but he really couldn't imagine that this fat man was so fierce, and immediately after breaking his arm, he would give a fatal blow to the opponent, such a distance, and his sword momentum was not finished, Chu Lianli couldn't dodge at all.

When he was in danger, Chu Rufeng grabbed his brother's collar and jumped more than a foot away, making the fat man's punch empty.

The two of them were not ambiguous, and immediately turned around and ran.

The peak master of the Taixuan Realm is not much slower than the Qianli good horse, but it can't last, the two quickly caught up with the convoy in front, and the bandit horse gang has no intention of chasing, as for the fat man, where can he run past the two people who have practiced the escape stunt since childhood, they were stopped by their companions without chasing far, they are just asking for money, if they die and consume, the loss is too great, after all, the people of the Chu family are not easy to mess with.

After Chu Dong and the others delayed for a while, they broke free from their opponents and chased after them.

Chu Rufeng jumped into the carriage with Chu Lianli, looked at the bandits who disappeared in the forest, and let out a long breath, but at this time, a small head came out of the carriage, his little face was very pale, and his voice was full of fear: "Sister, sister is in the car behind." ”
