Chapter 11 Encountering Bandits on the Road

"You idiot!"

Chang Wenyuan struck Xu Hong on the head with a loud bang.

"Your Excellency and Miss Duan have already left, why are you still hanging around? Why don't you hurry up and give chase!"

Chang Wenyuan and Xu Hong also abandoned their carriages, put on two good horses, rushed out of the city gate, and chased eastward.

Starting from Qin'an County and heading east, the road is sparsely populated, and the vast land and sparsely populated generalization is true at all. Although we are taking the official road, due to the geographical location, it is quite remote, and there are chaos along the way.

There are many sellers who show off their ferocity, and many homeless people are encountered on the road. They kneel on the roadside and beg passers-by for mercy, eager to get some food and money... They turn a blind eye to the embers.

Sometimes when encountering homeless people desperate for their lives, they would kneel down in the middle of the road and try to stop the horses. Yan Yan would not slow down and go around them if possible. If he could not go around, he would pick up the reins and pass over the refugees, which actually shocked many people.

If there are only one or two, Ember can help if he can, but there are too many refugees, and most of them appear in clusters. If you help one, the other refugees will get entangled, and what they get entangled with is not people, but trouble.

The footsteps of Zhan Shuyun and Yu Yan were not far apart. He was dressed in black and solemn, with an aura that was not easy to mess with. He also had a weapon on his waist, so no one dared to stop him.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Uu——"

When traveling to the mountainous section, Yan Yan suddenly tightened the reins and slowed down, dismounting from the horse. The movements were all done in one go. After a few breaths, Zhan Shuyun also arrived. He said, "The horsemanship is pretty good."

Yu Yan replied: "It's okay, okay, I don't have any skills."

Zhan Shuyun thought of the scene where Yu Yan reined in his horse and crossed the refugees, and he chuckled without comment.

"The eyes are not bad either."

Yi Yan squatted down. Earth-colored horse tripping ropes lay across both ends of the road. There were withered hay under the mountains on both sides. It was as tall as a person. It was a good place to hide.

"I'm not blind." Of course his eyesight is good.

"I don't know who you are coming for. You don't have any enemies, do you?"

"I still think it's a bandit who wants to steal money and sex, so it's not certain that I'll be implicated by you."

The two of them didn't say forgiving, but they both turned their horses' heads in a tacit understanding and rushed to the side path.

The grass on both sides was rustling and swaying, and more than a dozen heads came out to look at me and you.

"Leaving? Are they the ones we squatted in?"

"The boss said that the man squatting down is a young man from an aristocratic family. He is very good-looking. I look like the man in black clothes!"

"But now the person has escaped." Someone reminded again.

"..." After a moment of silence, someone shouted: "Then why are you still standing there, chase!"

"Set off the smoke bombs, release the smoke bombs, and remind the brothers over there to arrest them!"

The cigarette bomb flew into the sky and exploded, and more than a dozen people cheered and chased after him.

Not long after, a carriage came slowly. The golden nanmu carriage was beautifully carved, with golden tassels hanging from the four corners, yellow brocade with dark gold patterns, and two horses driving side by side. It looked so majestic and gorgeous.

A young servant and a maid were sitting in front of the carriage, six tall and strong servants were following the carriage, and four knights, three men and one woman, lined up on both sides of the carriage. A group of people were guarding the carriage as it moved forward.

The curtain on one side of the carriage was lifted up by a hand with distinct joints. A pair of eyes glanced left and right, and then a male voice came from inside the carriage.

"Stop, stop, stop."

The carriage stopped, and someone asked what was wrong and what happened. The curtains were opened even wider, revealing a complete head.

He is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The young man has a good appearance, a pair of bright almond eyes, and there is a sense of cunning when he looks around.

He waved towards the window and said, "Master Zhao, you guys who are highly skilled in martial arts can come forward and investigate."

He was caught by the bandits on this section of the road when he came. If he hadn't been clever and quick to fight with the bandit leader, he would have been trapped in the bandits' den and lost his innocence by now.

If you take people's money to do things for others, you won't refuse.

Daxia Zhao got off the horse, signaled the rest of the people to be alert, bent down and patrolled the ground carefully.

After a while, Daxia Zhao came back and said, "Young Master, there is a snagging rope about half a mile ahead. We cannot rule out the possibility of an ambush."

The young man known as the Young Master gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "I knew it wasn't that simple. The bandit leader would definitely ambush me."

As he spoke, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, young master, I'm smart. I just escaped from the gangster's den. How could I go back in again?"

Daxia Zhao: "The young master means..."

"Let's go another way!"

The boy's eyes rolled around again, and his eyes lit up when he saw the path: "Let's go around there!"

"That place?"

The young man nodded repeatedly, "Does Master Zhao know the way?"

Daxia Zhao looked like he was thinking, and nodded after thinking for a moment: "I've been there before, but the road was bumpy and not broken, and it's not wide enough. I guess the young master's carriage..." He pinched his chin and shook his head, "It's probably going to be choked enough to pass."

Difficult to pass?

It’s hard to say!

The young man jumped out of the carriage quickly and ordered the servants, "You move my things out and unload the carriage. We will ride on horseback and walk down the path!"

After giving the order, the servants immediately started moving and hurriedly came out with tables, low stools, jade pots, thin blankets, jade pillows, brocade clothes, gold and silver ornaments, precious jade pendants...

The heroine looked at it with a toothache: "Why did this young man come to the border with all these precious things? Looking at him wearing gold and silver, he almost had a note on his body that said 'Grab the money as soon as possible'

Already."

Another young knight smiled and said, "What if it's a robbery?"

The heroine said: "Most bandits rob women."

This is a matter of probability.

After everything was arranged properly, the group plunged into the mountain side path.

——

Yu Yan and Zhan Shu were circling in circles, surrounded by bandits with knives on both sides.

"Girls and gentlemen, stop running away. You are already surrounded by us. This mountain is our territory. You can't escape from our grasp!"

"Then I dare to ask why brother intercepted us? To keep money?" Yi Jin asked.

The person who spoke smiled, put his fat belly knife on his shoulder shyly, brushed his oily hair with his other hand, and said with a shy face: "Girl, we don't keep any wealth, our head said

Now, I’m going to tie this kid up and make him the village’s leader!”

"The man who suppresses the stronghold!"

"The husband who suppresses the stronghold!"

"Yohohoho——"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Sir, is it a robbery, or is the boss coveting your beauty and wants to take you back to be the king of the village?" Yi Yan gloated.

"Brother, let's discuss it. Can we keep him and let me go?"

"Young lady looks like a fairy, we can't let her go, so we will accept you, young lady, so that we can enjoy it too."

This time the laughter was louder.

Zhan Shuyun suddenly laughed: "Well, it will be difficult for Miss Duan to escape now."

"My lord, you don't seem worried at all. It seems that you are sure of getting out of trouble?"

"not at all."

"Tsk, your weapons are just decorations, you don't know how to use them?"

Yi Yan glanced at the dagger at Zhan Shuyun's waist, tutted and shook his head, "Sir, you can't do that."

"Two fists are no match for four, so let's just surrender."

Just as the two were disparaging each other, a loud shout came from afar: "Boss, there are people here! There is also a handsome young man!"

Yu Yan and Zhan Shuyun turned around to look, and saw a group of people not far away in large and small bags, standing there in a daze, as if they hadn't yet figured out the situation in front of them, and were a little far away.

"Boss, the man in charge said that he wanted to intercept a young man. The one in black clothes looks like he is in his twenties. He is very old."

"But he is so handsome!"

"Which one is it?"

Adhering to the principle of preferring to make mistakes rather than let them go, the leader ordered: "Which one? Of course, cut them all!"

The brightest young man in the crowd was the first to react, turned around and ran away.

"Chase!"

The war is in chaos.
