Chapter 30 Throw money at it
It was getting slightly brighter, and everyone in the posthouse was exhausted after working hard all night. They took turns eating breakfast and resting on the spot.
Guan Hai frowned when he saw that the thieves were neither attacking nor retreating. They were gathering not far away to eat dry food. He expected that they would not give up.
What other tricks does the thief have?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a man on guard at the wall on the left shouting, "The thieves are coming with the wooden stakes."
Looking in the direction of the sentry's finger, in the wilderness in the distance, dozens of thieves were walking towards here carrying seven or eight pieces of wood about the thickness of a man's waist.
"What are you carrying the stake for?" Wang Jun asked in confusion.
Guan Hai glanced at the thickness of the wall, his face changed, and he shouted: "No, the thief wants to break through the wall."
Wang Yun suddenly panicked, "What, what should I do?"
"The space in the yard is small. If a large group of people from the other side are forced to charge in, it will be extremely difficult for us to escape here. Now we can only break out. The head of the house and the young master will take the first step. I will lead the guards to hold off the thieves. All you have to do is run to Nie County." It will be safe." Guan Hai said.
"This, is this possible? We only have a dozen horses, but the thieves have hundreds of riders, so I'm afraid we can't stop them." Wang Jun's face turned pale. He could still resist by staying at the inn, but he wanted to go out and fight with them head-on. , died properly.
Guan Hai said in a deep voice, "There is still a way to survive if you rush out, but there is only a way to die if you stay here."
Wang Yun's face became ugly. If he didn't rush out and wait for the thieves to break through the wall, they would have no place to escape. Although Xu Chu and Guan Hai were brave, they were unable to defeat four people with just two fists. He was not very good at Wang Family Trilogy Expected.
But you may not be able to escape by rushing out. There are hundreds of thieves, and they can't stop them with just this little trick.
Looking at his three sons beside him, Wang Yun slowly calmed down. He was already quite old, and now he had offended the ten regular servants and was disgusted by His Majesty. He was afraid that he would never have the chance to serve in an official position again, but his three sons were still young. They There is still a chance, but we must not lose our lives here.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Since Peng Tuo came for revenge, I took the wrong path."
After saying that, he solemnly handed over to Guan Hai, Xu Chu and others, "I have entrusted you with my three sons and one daughter. Please protect them and go to the right. The thieves will chase me. You should be able to escape."
Three sons and one daughter! At this critical moment, Wang Yun did not forget her. Zhang Mo was deeply moved. After ending his political career, did he already regard her as his daughter?
"Father, no!"
As soon as Wang Yun finished speaking, Wang Gai shouted, "If my father dies to save us, how can I live with dignity? As the eldest brother, I will lead the thieves away." He was about to go. Lead the horse.
Wang Yun grabbed him and said in a slightly angry tone, "Don't you listen to your father's words?"
"Forgive me for being unfilial..."
Wang Yun sighed and said: "Peng Tuo came here to kill his father. It's already dawn. You can't pretend to be him. Just obey me."
"Even so, the child must follow his father."
Wang Gai's attitude was resolute, Wang Jing followed his brother closely, and even Wang Ding, who had always been careless, was determined not to let his father take risks for them.
The father and son were still arguing, but Guan Hai interrupted them, "Peng Tuo is ruthless and likes to kill people and whole families. There are many thieves, so they can split up and pursue them. This method is not appropriate."
"This..." Wang Yun staggered and almost lost his balance. Could it be that all the lives of the Wang family were going to be lost here today?
As he said these words, the thieves were already approaching. From the open door, you could see that the thieves carrying the stakes were only a few hundred steps away. Behind them, there were hundreds of horsemen on both sides, ready to rush in and crush the people inside at any time.
broken.
Looking at the dazzling blades of the thieves, Zhang Mo could only hold on to the corners of his clothes tightly to keep his hands from shaking.
With so many thieves, how could it be so easy to break out with Xu Chu and the others? She didn't want to die, and she would never let her adoptive father die. What else could be done? What could be done? She took two deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.
Peng Tuo's men were killed in Pingyu, and he had just escaped from Luoyang. In this era, there were no phones or mobile phones. How could he summon so many thieves to take revenge?
Thinking again that the thieves only listened to the leader last night, it is not difficult to guess that Peng Tuo must have attached himself to a certain village in Taihang and threatened them to kill people and seize wealth.
Murder and take wealth?
Zhang Mo's thoughts moved and he said urgently: "Father, there is a way for the child to escape."
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly." Wang Yun's eyes lit up with despair, and he looked at her excitedly, inexplicably believing that this daughter who was full of cunning tricks might really be able to save the lives of the whole family.
Zhang Mo said: "Peng Tuo wants revenge, but the other thieves want money. They can be lured with money..."
Thought it was a good plan, Wang Yun looked disappointed, "They can kill us and still get all the property here, but this method won't work."
Zhang Mo said anxiously: "Listen to me, we can take the gold and silver jewelry and silk clothes with us during the escape, and throw them away as we run. Which of the pursuing thieves can't help but get off their horses and pick them up?"
Butler Wang praised, "Wonderful, this method is very wonderful. As long as one person picks it up, others will follow and we can escape."
However, this method can only guarantee the escape of those with horses, and others may not be able to escape.
Wang Yun said to his subordinates: "You wait and resist for a while. If unfortunately you die in battle, I will treat you and your family well and will never break my promise."
Although everyone was scared, they had no choice. If they didn't obey orders, their family members in Jinyang would not survive. It was worth it to exchange one's own life for the family to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
There were only fifteen horses in total for this trip. The four members of the Wang family plus Steward Wang had five horses. In addition, two brothers Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Du Fei, and Wang Jun each had one horse. They also picked five skilled guards to follow, and the others
Everyone was left behind.
Everyone brought their belongings, Guan Haigang carried Zhang Mo onto the horse, the actor who taught Zhang Mo to dance and the maid Mei Xiang rushed forward crying, "Ms. Zhang, what should I do with the maid?"
The actor cried loudly, "Madam, please don't leave me waiting..."
What to do? Zhang Mo looked embarrassed, and she had no choice. Wang Yun and the others were definitely not willing to take one more person with them in order to escape for their lives. In their eyes, the life of the servant was not even worth as much as a bolt of silk.
The lives of these two people are not in danger if they stay, but if they fall into the hands of thieves, they may end up in a more painful end than death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Mo cannot treat human life as trivial after all, and these two people have been serving her for more than half a year, and they still have some feelings for her.
"Father, can you take them with you?"
Wang Yundao said, "It's just two maids, what can we do with them?"
"Father, take them with you first. If that doesn't work, put them down halfway. They can also seek shelter in the wild grass."
Seeing Zhang Mo's pleading eyes, Wang Yun waved his hand and agreed. Brothers Xu Chu and Du Fei guarded him and rode out first, followed closely by Butler Wang and others.
The two Wang family members each picked up one and ran out after him, but Guan Hai came out after falling behind.
When the thief saw the people in the post running out on his own, he chased after him on horseback. The distance between the two sides was not far, and they were fighting with Xu Chu and others in an instant.
Xu Chu slashed left and right with his broadsword, knocking down the thieves in front of him one by one like a melon. Wang Yun and his son, protected by Wang Jun and others, quickly escaped from the battle circle.
Guan Hai protected Zhang Mo in front of him with one hand, and slashed with the other hand. The sword danced in his hand tightly, with murderous intent, and in a short time he had cut down seven or eight people.
Zhang Mo carried a bag and threw all the money inside at the thief. While throwing the money, she sighed, after living two lifetimes, she never thought that one day she would be able to throw money at someone!
Wang Yun and others who rushed out first ran and scattered money. When the thieves saw the shiny thing on the ground, they couldn't run anymore and they all dismounted to pick it up.
Peng Tuo was so angry that he shouted at the side, "Kill first, kill, and then pick it up when you come back."
But no one cares about him. If he doesn't pick it up now, he will definitely be picked up by others soon. Besides, they have no grudge against Wang Yun, and those guards are very fierce. Why don't they chase after him and risk their lives even if they don't pick up the money?
It's just that... Wang Yun waited for the money to be thrown away a little early, and everyone else ran to the front. Guan Hai, who came out last, was blocked by the thief who picked up the money. Peng Tuo recognized him and secretly hated him for helping Wang Yun and him.
He rebelled and raised his sword to kill Guan Hai.
After all, the leader of the thieves was the boss. Although he was also greedy for money, he did not sacrifice his own worth to fight with his thieves. Seeing that Guan Hai was at the back, and seeing that the young lady he was protecting was very beautiful, the thieves got together and waved their hands.
Zhui called to his men, "Two dogs and pockmarks, don't pick them up yet. Bring your men to kill me and snatch that little lady to be the wife of the stronghold."
Ergou glanced at Zhang Mo in his busy schedule and curled his lips: "Boss, that's a bit too small!"
The leader of the thieves stared at Zhang Mo closely and smiled lewdly, "I have never seen such a beautiful woman. Although she is a little smaller, she is not unable to sleep."
He urged, "Quick, as long as you grab her, I will ask them to give you ten coins each later." He pointed at the people who were picking up money.
"Okay!" Ergou and Mazi responded happily, calling for others to follow them and kill them.
Over there, Peng Tuo and Guan Hai have been fighting for more than ten rounds. Although Guan Hai is protecting Zhang Mo, his martial arts skills are not even a bit higher than Peng Tuo's. Before the leader of the thieves can rush over, Peng Tuo is not paying attention and is killed by Guan Hai.
Get off the horse.
