Chapter 49: Unexpected Change

The group rested for a night in Liping County and set off again. According to the previous plan, they stayed in a small town on the border of Liping for one night. When they arrived in the next county, Ye Ying and others completed the escort mission.

Doctor Zhong and his subordinates still treated Ye Ying with an indifferent attitude, and did not even let them take on the responsibility of guarding him at all. They only left the accompanying salutes to the care of Ye Ying and his soldiers.

The group of people followed the original plan and headed towards the border of Liping County. Seeing that the time was approaching noon, the team in front suddenly stopped. Ye Ying and others who were following behind to guard the supply carriage had to stop.

"Sugar Cane, go and see what's going on?" Sugar Cane is the nickname everyone gave Gander because the pronunciation of his name is somewhat similar to Sugar Cane.

Gan De accepted the order and ran forward. After a while, he came back and said that the middle doctor saw the beautiful scenery here and was going to stop and enjoy it.

Hearing the reply, Ye Ying couldn't help but frown. One side of this place is a gentle slope with high mountains and dense forests, but the other side of the road is a steep cliff. There is indeed some scenery when looking down, but from a strategic position

Look, this is another dangerous place.

Because once there is an ambush in the dense forest on the gentle slope, the group will be completely exposed to the enemy's attack. Even if they want to evacuate, it will be very difficult.

Although he expected that his opinion would not be adopted, Ye Ying still stepped forward and told the butler of Zhongdafu his thoughts because of his responsibilities. As expected, the butler ignored him.

"He is still a soldier of the Mad Lion Army, but he is so timid. If there are really bandits coming, they don't need to take action at all, we can handle it ourselves." The voice was not loud, but Ye Ying, who had excellent ears, could

It was clear that the person speaking was the leader of the servants. It was said that this guy had been in a war before, and he was the one who looked down on Ye Ying and his party the most along the way.

With no other choice, Ye Ying had no choice but to tell his men to be more vigilant. However, considering the control area of ​​the Mad Lion Army, there have been no bandits in recent years, so there is no need to worry too much about this matter.

It seemed that the middle-aged doctor was in a good mood. He was amazed by the green trees and red flowers on the roadside and the spring water flowing down the mountain. He even became inspired by poetry and recited a few lines. His subordinates quickly took out pens and paper and chanted their master's poem.

It took a long time to record the "unparalleled masterpieces" that came out.

At this time, there was a sound from behind. Ye Ying turned his head and looked behind. He saw a group of people coming not far away. There were more than a dozen of them. They were pushing several wheelbarrows, and each car had a huge

The wine jar appears to be a team of wine merchants.

The road in the mountains was rugged, so these wine sellers traveled very carefully, focusing on observing the road along the way. They paid no attention to Ye Ying and his group who were parked on the roadside, and soon passed them.

"That's not right!" When the last of these people walked past Ye Ying, he suddenly realized.

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhao Hu on the side immediately turned his head when he heard Ye Ying's words. His words also attracted Shan Fu and Qi Jiao, and they quickly gathered around Ye Ying.

"The ruts are very deep. If there was only wine in the jar, it wouldn't be so heavy. In addition, the men pushing the carts don't look particularly strenuous. They should all be practitioners." Ye Ying pointed to the road.

Traces of said to several people.

"Do you want me to remind them?" Shan Fu always believed Ye Ying's words and asked quickly.

"Those guys won't listen to us. You team captains should remind your brothers and let everyone prepare secretly." Ye Ying said helplessly as he looked at Mr. Zhongdafu who was still lingering on the scenery not far away.

He originally hoped that the target of this group of people was not his group, but the reality once again made Ye Ying even more uneasy. The group of men selling alcohol actually stopped in front, acting as if they were tired from walking and taking a rest.

"Brothers, the situation is not right. Let's go over and make the team leave this place as soon as possible no matter what." After Ye Ying finished speaking, he led the people towards the position of the doctor and his subordinates.

And when Ye Ying and the others had just approached Doctor Zhong's team, more than a dozen woodcutters came behind them, each carrying two bundles of firewood, blocking the road.

At this time, even the slow-responsive servants realized that something was wrong, and they all gathered around the white-haired Doctor Zhong with weapons in hand.

The men selling wine in the front and the woodcutter in the back no longer concealed their purpose. They placed the wine jar and the bundle of firewood in the middle of the road, immediately blocking the front and rear. Then, they started to sell wine from the jar and the bundle of firewood.

He took out his sword and looked at the team in the middle quietly.

The usually arrogant servants suddenly lost their previous pride when they saw this fight, and just stood around blankly without making any next move.

"They have much fewer people than us, so what are they afraid of? Everyone, show your courage, and we will protect the adults and the carriage and rush over." The head servant had some courage and shouted at his subordinates.

After listening to the leader's words, the servants finally regained some courage. They held the swords in their hands tightly and began to raise their heads, looking at the uninvited guests in front and behind them.

But the next moment, the courage that the family had finally mustered up was deflated again, because many people suddenly appeared on the gentle slope of the roadside, and there were as many as one or two hundred people in total.

The people who appeared on the mountain were dressed in a variety of colors, some were even bare-chested, and had different weapons in their hands, looking like standard bandits.

"Lu Tianzhao, get out of here!" At this time, a loud roar suddenly appeared on the gentle slope. Everyone below looked around and saw a scarred-faced man holding a large sword standing there majestically.

Lu Tianzhao was the name of the middle-aged doctor whom Ye Ying and others were responsible for protecting. At this time, he no longer had the same heroic spirit as when he was reciting poems and composing poems.

"This old man is Lu Tianzhao. I wonder why the good man is looking for me." The doctor here has finally seen the world and is much calmer than some of the servants around him.

"Old dog, it's really you. Open your dog eyes and see, who is grandpa?" The scar-faced man waved the big knife in his hand fiercely and said viciously.

After hearing what the scar-faced man said, Lu Tianzhao raised his head and stared at the scar-faced man seriously for a long time, but he did not recognize who the scar-faced man was.

"Hero, I look familiar to you, but I can't remember where I've seen you before? Maybe there's some misunderstanding!" Lu Tianzhao thought for a while, raised his head and said loudly to the scar-faced man on the mountain.

"Misunderstanding, is it possible that my father's blood feud is a misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding that my family is ruined because of you, an old dog? You don't recognize me, but even if you become me, Chen Tianshun, I will recognize you." At this time, the man with the scarred face obviously recognized you.

He was very angry, and the scars on his face looked particularly ferocious.

"Ah! You are Tianshun, how did you become a bandit? There is a scar on your face." Hearing what the scar-faced man said, Lu Tianzhao finally remembered who this person was?

"Old dog, when I was a bandit, you gave me all the scars on my face. Back then, you caused my father to be beheaded, and my whole family took over. Except for me who escaped by chance, more than a dozen people in the family all died of illness in that bitter cold.

Earth, this bloody feud will be settled with your life today." The scar-faced man Chen Tianshun roared again.

"Tian Shun, you misunderstood. I also contributed a lot to your father's case back then, but the evidence is conclusive and I can't do anything..." Lu Tianzhao had a heartbroken look on his face.

"Fart, you think you are doing things without being aware of it. You never calculated that among the jailers there are my father's compatriots. My father has already told me everything in the past in letters." Before Lu Tianzhao finished speaking,

He was interrupted by the angry voice of Chen Tianshun.

Regarding the conversation between the two, Ye Ying didn't say a word. He just listened carefully to the content of the conversation to see if this conflict could be resolved. But after figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Ye Ying knew that this

A war is inevitable.

It turned out that the doctor Lu Tianzhao and Chen Tianshun's father were good friends in the officialdom. Because of a case that year, Lu Tianzhao deceived Chen Tianshun's father and took all the responsibility. But Lu Tianzhao not only failed to work for Chen Tianshun's father and take care of the Chen family as promised

Instead, the young and old resorted to the despicable trick of killing people with the help of the government, but they did not expect that the matter would be exposed.

Chen Tianshun, who luckily escaped with his life, went up the mountain and became a bandit, but he has never forgotten the blood feud between his family. A few days ago, he heard that his enemy Lu Tianzhao was going to pass through this place, so he first tried to lure out a large number of troops from the Crazy Lion Army recruit camp stationed nearby, and then sneaked into

This Liping County is preparing to seek revenge on Lu Tianzhao.

Hearing this result, Ye Ying sympathized with Chen Tianshun and had no favorable impression of the doctor Lu Tianzhao. However, as a soldier, the superior's orders must be carried out, so he had to continue to assume the task of protecting Lu Tianzhao.

At this time, the number of bandits had exceeded that of Ye Ying and his party. Lu Tianzhao's group of servants were usually good at bullying, but at the critical moment they were frightened. They held their swords and guns tightly and kept looking around for fear.

The enemy rushed over.

But the strange thing is that these bandits don't seem to be in a hurry. They surrounded Ye Ying and his group, but they showed no sign of attacking.

Seeing that some of these servants were trembling, Ye Ying felt very helpless. Knowing that these guys were unreliable, he stood beside Lu Tianzhao and carefully looked at the bandits at both ends of the road and on the steep slope, constantly thinking about how to get out of this crisis.

"Master, let's rush out!" The leader of the servants looked at the enemies on both sides and said to Lu Tianzhao through gritted teeth.

"But, so many things?" Lu Tianzhao looked at the carriages behind him and said with some reluctance.

"At critical moments, life is of course more important than property. In addition, within the control of our Mad Lion Army, it is impossible for them to take away these carriages?" After hearing Lu Tianzhao's words, Ye Ying said from the side.

"Then listen to the young general and let's rush out together." Lu Tianzhao finally made up his mind. Perhaps he had seen that these servants were unreliable, so he began to treat Ye Ying politely, and he was completely different from before.

"There are enemies on both sides, which direction should we attack in?" The leader of the servants looked at Ye Ying.

After listening to the words of the head servant, Ye Ying looked at both ends of the road. On one end was a woodcutter, and on the other was a man selling wine. There were more than ten people in total. Breaking out from either end, it would be a short walk forward.

It's a broad avenue.

Looking at the pile of firewood and several huge wine jars, Ye Ying fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes became clear and firm, and he had obviously made up his mind.
