Chapter 56 Walking at night and bumping into a ghost!
It went around the winding mountain trail in Huangniwa, then around the simple official road here, and then around a hill.
When Li Yuanjing and others arrived at the tidal flat that stretches for two or three miles by the Yishui River and requires one foot to be deep and one foot shallow, it was already the end of Haishi and almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
but.
Even though everyone was tired, they were all filled with indescribable excitement when they thought about the wages that Li Yuanjing would pay them immediately after returning, as well as the delicacies that the ladies should have prepared long ago.
They were all talking and laughing in low voices.
Seeing Yang Dayang Er rowing over across the river, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
This money seems to come quickly and with huge profits.
but.
Who can know the risks?
and.
Don't know why...
Although things went smoothly tonight, Li Yuanjing always felt a sense of insecurity in his heart...
It feels like I'm being peeped...
This made Li Yuanjing subconsciously change his original plan when Yang Dayang Er and others came by boat.
He did not let the best among the men around him board the boat first.
Instead, he kept Zhang Kun, Zhao Zengjin, Kui Zi, Zhu Zhu and other confidants, including Wang Liu, with him, and asked the old village chief to take these slightly weaker men on board first.
Mainly, this boat is a bit small and can only carry a little over twenty people on a trip.
Li Yuanjing and his gang had to make two trips no matter what.
I saw that the boat quickly and smoothly sailed to the center of the river, and should soon sail to the other side without any problems.
Li Yuanjing felt a little relieved and said secretly:
'Have you been too intense these past two days and you have a bit of a neurasthenia?'
"Don't move!"
"Stand still for me, throw the knife on the ground!"
"Whoever dares to make a move will be killed immediately!!!"
However, before Li Yuanjing finished thinking, a hoarse male voice, as deep as a beast, suddenly came from the direction behind him.
Li Yuanjing suddenly turned around and was stunned!
It was like a basin of ice water suddenly poured over him from top to bottom!
I saw——
Seven or eight men, all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and carrying sharp standard sabers, were full of toughness and murderous intent at first sight. They had surrounded Li Yuanjing and others from three sides!
What’s even scarier!
Not far behind the leader of the short and stocky man.
There were two men holding black fire guns, and they had already lit the small torches in their hands. The match ropes were exposed in front of Li Yuanjing and others, and they were looking straight at Li Yuanjing and others.
There is another person behind with a bow and arrow, and he has already unhooked the bow!
"this……"
Although Li Yuanjing was already used to big storms in later generations, after all, later generations were a society governed by the rule of law, so he had never faced such a terrifying situation before him...
Not to mention Li Yuanjing, even Zhang Kun, who had been on the battlefield and killed Tatars, was dumbfounded. He stood there blankly, not daring to make the slightest move.
Not to mention the others.
The stupid boy Zhuzhu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
"Damn it!"
"Do you think I'm farting?"
"If you don't put down the knife, I will destroy you now!!"
When the short and sturdy man at the head saw Li Yuanjing and others like this, his ferocious face with a conspicuous scar on his forehead suddenly showed a controlled expression of amusement.
He immediately yelled again and shouted fiercely at Li Yuanjing and others.
"Put down the knife, put down all the knives."
Li Yuanjing finally recovered a little at this time, but his hands and legs were shaking uncontrollably.
As he took the lead in throwing the hatchet on the ground, he trembled and begged the short, stocky man with the scar:
"Good man, good man, we are workers at Zhangji Rice Shop in Fengcheng County, and we are all good people. What are you doing..."
Seeing that Li Yuanjing had lost his knife, Zhang Kun and others did not dare to disobey Li Yuanjing's order even if they didn't want to, so they could only throw down their hatchets one after another.
The short, stocky man with the scar and the others couldn't stop laughing wantonly.
The stocky scarred man sneered playfully:
"You are not a good citizen, why don't you rob me?! Hurry up and hand over all the valuable things you have on you!"
"Otherwise, I will send you to see the King of Hell now!!"
Including Zhang Kun, all the men suddenly felt extremely miserable and were really going to die.
How could I have imagined that.
It's even worse for a good person to encounter such a thing than to kill them...
But at this time.
Because of Li Yuanjing's wrong decision-making, they had already lost their hatchet, so what could they use to fight against this group of obviously elite strongmen?
Seeing that everyone was struggling to dig out their valuables, Li Yuanjing also started to dig out the valuables, his eyelids twitching slightly.
at this time!
Li Yuanjing has basically been completely sure that this short, stocky scarred man and others are not ordinary strong men. They are most likely regular troops under the command of King Qi!
and!
Eighty percent of them are elites!
How could an ordinary robber have military firearms and standard sabers in his hands?
And by this time.
Li Yuanjing has basically determined that the short, stocky man with the scar and the others should be just seven or eight people. There seems to be no reinforcements behind them.
"Good man, I only have this little money, and I'll give it all to you. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby. Please spare my life, spare my life..."
At this time.
A man named "Xiangzi" in front could no longer stand the intimidation. He threw all the money he was carrying on the snow in front of him and kowtowed to the short, stocky man with a scar and the others.
Seeing that Xiangzi was lost, someone else immediately started to lose him. They all knelt down and kowtowed to the short, stocky man with a scar and begged.
Li Yuanjing thought for a while and winked at Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun understood immediately and quickly blocked Li Yuanjing with his body, threw away the large amount of money he was carrying, and slowly knelt down while trembling.
And this time.
Li Yuanjing took out his low-profile lighter while the stocky scarred man and others were chatting and laughing excitedly while picking up money.
Moreover, the fire core inside was blown red in just a few strokes.
The so-called ‘low-end version’ lighter.
It is a small iron pipe carefully built by Li Yuanjing the day before yesterday.
It is about the thickness of a thumb, and the bottom is sealed, and the inside is filled with flammable and flame-resistant tinder. After lighting it and letting it burn almost, the wooden lid is closed.
The outside is woven with rattan to prevent it from being hung around the waist and burning people.
This time.
Whenever you want to use it, just blow it hard.
This has become basic common sense in later generations, and it is also the specialty of masters of wilderness survival such as Bei Ye and De Ye.
The reason why Li Yuanjing made this thing was just in case. If something really happened, he could use hand grenades as soon as possible.
But how could Li Yuanjing have imagined that his trump cards such as grenade bombs would be exposed so quickly!
but.
The situation in front of him was so critical that Li Yuanjing didn't even have a few seconds to think about it. He once again checked the positions of the two gunmen behind him.
Li Yuanjing quickly lit the fuse of a grenade and then shouted:
"Get down, everyone get down!"
Even in the gap where everyone was a little confused, he fiercely threw the grenade towards the top between the two fire gun soldiers.
"Bang!"
Before everyone could react, what happened.
This grenade had been burning with the fuse in Li Yuanjing's hand for a while, and at this time it exploded violently between the two firecrackers.
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes..."
One of the unlucky fire rifle soldiers really didn't know anything. His eye had been hit by the hot sand and gravel from the grenade. He was rolling on the ground in pain and screaming.
"brothers!"
"Those who are still willing to eat with me, Li, pick up the knife and fight these bastards!"
The next moment.
Li Yuanjing had already picked up the hatchet on the ground and shouted like a hungry wolf with red eyes!
"Brothers, fight and kill these robbers!"
Zhang Kun and Li Yuanjing had a tacit understanding for a long time. Almost at the same time, they picked up the hatchet in their hands and killed directly towards the short, stocky man with the scar in front.
Zhao Zengjin reacted with dissatisfaction and immediately raised his knife to kill the other robber next to him!
"Brothers worked hard!!!"
Following the example of Zhang Kun and Zhao Zengjin, several bloody men also reacted quickly, yelling and killing the robbers in front of them.
In a blink of an eye.
The surrounding situation was chaotic.
Li Yuanjing didn't have time to think too much at this time. Seeing that Zhang Kun was already at a disadvantage in the battle with the short, stocky man with the scar, Li Yuanjing rushed over quickly with his back bent and roared:
"It's officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are here!"
"What?"
"I've sorted everything out, so where are the officers and soldiers coming from?"
The short, stocky man with the scar was shocked and struck Zhang Kun with a knife, then turned around to check.
This is the opportunity Li Yuanjing has been waiting for!
"puff!"
The next moment.
A packet of unknown powdery white object flew directly towards the face of the short, stocky man with the scar.
"ah--"
"My eyes, my eyes can't see..."
How could this short, stocky man with a scar have imagined that Li Yuanjing would just throw lime powder and such a terrible "biochemical weapon" without saying a word?
There was no time to react, and he was completely attacked.
He immediately fell to his knees on the ground, lost the knife in his hand, covered his eyes with both hands and screamed.
Li Yuanjing had long seen that this short, stocky man with a scar was covered in armor. Only his neck was unprotected, so how could he follow him?
He immediately held the knife in both hands, gathered all his strength, and roared, slashing directly at the neck of the short, stocky man with the scar.
"puff……"
The next moment.
Accompanied by a sound that is difficult to describe in words, but can instantly make people's scalp numb——
The short, stocky man with the scar had most of his neck cut off by Li Yuanjing. When his head suddenly dropped, blood spurted out like a fountain.
Li Yuanjing was instantly covered in blood and shouted like a wolf:
"kill!"
"Kill them all for me!"
"If you dare to let anyone go, his family will never have a chance to eat from me, Li Yuanjing again!!!"
