Chapter VII: Enemy Attack
After a long journey of more than two hours and a rugged mountain road of more than 100 miles, Zhang Wei's convoy heard a sudden shout from the guards in front of him when he passed through a large canyon called the First Line Valley:
"Someone, blocking my way!"
Zhang Wei, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, heard the cheers from the guards in front of him, opened his eyes suddenly, stood up with his clothes raised, lifted the door and stood on the edge of the carriage with his head lowered, and looked ahead, only to see a group of black-clothed people holding sharp blades lined up and waiting there about fifty zhang in front, the number of people was about thirty, as if they were waiting for the arrival of their group.
Zhang Wei frowned, his body moved, he floated out of the carriage, his steps moved, and he felt like he had taken a few steps, but it was these few steps, and the others arrived at the front of the team, at this time, the other guards all dismounted, protecting him on his left and right, and a handsome young guard of about eighteen or nineteen years old approached two steps and said to Zhang Wei:
"Uncle Zhang, you see, these people are not good, they obviously saw the mark of our convoy, and they dared to block our way with such fanfare, it seems that they came prepared!
Zhang Wei nodded, looked ahead, cleared his throat, raised his voice and asked the group of men in black in front of him:
"Who are you, and what do you want to do in our way?"
From the black-clothed masked man in front of him walked out a burly man, like the leader of the group, and he replied in a cold tone:
"Who are we waiting for, Your Excellency doesn't need to know, I've been waiting for you here for more than an hour today, and there is nothing else to do, just want Your Excellency to leave the miners in your hands!"
The masked man's voice was hoarse, as if he had deliberately lowered his voice to prevent the other party from hearing his original voice.
Zhang Wei's face changed slightly when he heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "Your Excellency is really a good idea, I think you are deliberately embarrassing my Zhujiazhuang, but what if I say 'no'?"
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I'll have to send you on your way! I'll give you another ten breaths to think about it!" replied the masked man with some contempt.
Zhang Wei didn't answer when he heard this, but tilted his head slightly and whispered to the young guard beside him: "Lin Zi, there are more than twice as many people on the other side as there are on our side, and as soon as you make a move later, you will immediately send out a distress signal!" This place is less than eighty miles away from the mining area, the mine master will definitely be able to see it, and then take the boy named Ji Yuan away immediately, protect him well, and don't let him be hurt in any way!"
The guard who called Lin Zi listened to Zhang Wei's words, nodded, looked at Zhang Wei with some puzzlement, and stopped talking, Zhang Wei glanced at him, and said in a somewhat serious tone:
"This is what your stepfather specially ordered, you just have to do it, and I'll tell you the rest when I have a chance later!"
When Lin Zi heard this, his heart sank, and he replied: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely live up to the trust of my father-in-law and you!"
Zhang Wei nodded with a worried face, he knew that since the other party came prepared, he must have made full preparations, and they would also know the strength of their own people, seeing that the number of people on the other side was more than twice that of their side, they knew that they wanted to win in terms of numbers, it seemed that if there were no rescuers today, the people on their side would be in danger!
Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't answer for a while, the black-clothed masked man on the opposite side raised his tone and said clearly, "Have you thought it through?"
"Hmph, don't think about it, if you have the ability, you can take us down first and then talk about the rest!" Zhang Wei replied with a straight body and a tone of no concession.
"Hehe, in that case, then I'll send you to the Netherworld first! ...,
When the other black-clothed masked men heard this, they let out a shout, raised the sharp blade in their hands, and quickly rushed over.
Zhang Wei waved his hand, and the guards on both sides took two steps forward, and the weapons in their hands pointed straight ahead.
The guard called Lin Zi immediately took a few steps back, took out a signal arrow from his arms, shot it into the air, the signal arrow tore through the air, and made a "chirp" sound and shot quickly into the air, followed by a loud "bang", the signal arrow emitted a colorful brilliance in the sky, and then disappeared into the air.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
"Sonorous!"
"Whew!"
"Bang bang!"
The two sides have been fighting together, and after a while, people on both sides were injured by each other, and the black-clothed masked man was almost three people against one because he was more numerous than Zhang Wei's side, and the situation was one-sided, which was very unfavorable to Zhang Wei and their side.
When the two sides were talking, all the miners in the carriage were all excited, and their bodies were sitting upright, and the dozing people also woke up at once, and one by one they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they were even more timid, with beads of sweat on their heads, and they were there to pray for the protection of the gods.
When the two sides were fighting, some miners immediately jumped off the wagon, and then ran desperately in the direction of the road without looking back, while some timid people shrank on the carriage and did not dare to move.
When the black-clothed masked man saw someone fleeing, with a wave of his hand, seven or eight masked men rushed to the side of the carriage, raised the sharp blade in his hand and slashed at the fleeing miners, and a scream sounded in the light of the knife, one after another, and after a while, the five or six miners who fled were all cut to the ground.
Ji Yuan, who was sitting in the first carriage, woke up as soon as Zhang Wei got out of the carriage, and he heard the conversation between the two sides word for word, including Zhang Wei's instructions to Lin Zi, and he could also hear it clearly, which made him a little moved.
When Lin Zi saw several black-clothed masked men rushing to the side of the carriage, he immediately launched an action, and came to the first carriage in a few arrow steps, opened the car door, and with a big hand, he grabbed Ji Yuan's arm, and his body flashed, and he arrived at the edge of the cliff of the canyon, and then his body Xiangshang jumped to a place five zhang high, and then he kept jumping on the protruding stone wall, and he climbed about five zhang high every time.
The black-clothed masked man and Zhang Wei were gathering momentum with each other, and at the moment when the two sides were ready to make a move, the black-clothed masked man saw Lin Zi running away from the mountain with the little boy, his complexion changed, and the steel knife in his hand was aimed at Zhang Wei is slash, Zhang Wei saw that the other party was fierce, and his body was on one side, and he dodged the other party's fatal knife, and when he was about to stab a sword, he didn't expect the black-clothed masked figure to flicker, bypassing him, and then his body jumped, like a big peng spreading his wings, and flew up the cliff and chased the forest.
