Although Li Mingyue got a bargain, she didn't feel comfortable with it. Just as the saying goes, "The mouth of the eater is short, the hand of the taker is short." It depends on the face of the person. The key is that Li Mingyue is not willing to take advantage of this advantage at all.
There were a total of fifteen people entering the mountain. In that team, eight were added to Li Mingyue, and seven were responsible for escorting. In addition to the mother and daughter, there was also a woman in the escort team. She also had a dark complexion, so every time Li Mingyue saw
She would always think of the killer named Guo Qianqian, and would not dare to let down her guard for a moment.
After walking for half a day, the sun set in the west, and the already rugged mountain road became even more rugged and difficult to walk. In addition, the mountain road was covered with weeds and thorns, making it extremely difficult to walk.
At this moment, everyone came to the bottom of a cliff. The leading man stopped, took a look at the sky, and said: "I will rest here for one night today, and then climb over this mountain early tomorrow morning. The plank road is difficult to walk, and it will be updated at night.
It’s dangerous, what do you think?”
Everyone looked at the cliff in front of them. It was just a cliff, but there was a plank road attached to the cliff. Just looking at it was scary, let alone walking.
Although the couple was anxious, they even felt sorry for the girl named Xing'er, so they did not reject the man's proposal.
Although the girl seemed to be fine on the surface, she was actually in unspeakable pain. She was just trying to endure it. As soon as she stopped, she sat down on the grass and kept hitting her calf with her fists.
Li Mingyue found it hard, let alone her.
However, those men may have gotten used to it and didn't seem to feel anything. And the woman, who deserves to be from a martial arts family, looked relaxed even though she had heavy and trembling breasts.
Li Mingyue found a place to sit down, trying to keep a certain distance from these people. Firstly, it would not be an eyesore, and secondly, it would prevent a killer from suddenly jumping out.
The night passed peacefully until dawn.
Early the next morning, it took everyone a whole morning to walk all the plank roads. After rolling over the cliff, the road became much smoother, but there were many gravels on the road, which made walking very uncomfortable.
After a while, he became unspeakably miserable.
We walked like this for three days. Although we encountered some ferocious beasts during this period, they did not pose a threat to everyone. As for bandits, we never encountered them.
Until the evening of the third day, when everyone was passing through a valley, they encountered a group of bandits, numbering forty or fifty people.
Everyone originally planned to pass through the valley before dark, and then pass through Qianzaoze overnight. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to enter Jinzhou territory after walking for two days.
But just after walking halfway through the valley, countless bandits appeared on the cliffs on both sides. The roaring and shocking sound was like falling into a wolf's den.
Li Mingyue first looked from the left and felt the aura of these bandits. After confirming that they were just ordinary bandits, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the people around him again. At this time, it was easier to sense everyone's aura, but unfortunately there was still nothing gained. Li Mingyue felt that he was being too careless.
If there really was an assassin from the Tang State here, he would not have taken action against him. This was due to the intimidation of the woman in the bell in Taihua Sect. If there had been an assassin from the Yan State, he would have taken action long ago. After all, Li Mingyue was willing to expose himself these days.
There were many flaws.
Judging from the current situation, it is obviously unrealistic for this group of people to deal with so many bandits. Of course, it still depends on the strength of the team. If they are all strong martial arts, the outcome of the fight will be unpredictable. If there is only that
A woman alone has no chance of winning.
However, this is only a comparison of the strength of the two sides. How it will develop will be known only after fighting, because once someone dies, it will be a shock. In the end, no one is not afraid of death.
However, Li Mingyue did not intend to sit idly by. After all, these people gave him a lot of money. Although Li Mingyue did not need this favor, he still owed it after all. Secondly, these men were not evil people. On the contrary, they would
Strangers show kindness.
The leading man's face was obviously not very good-looking, and his eyes were also observing the bandits, looking for opportunities to break the situation.
Li Mingyue wanted to see how this man would handle such a situation.
They have traveled this road so many times, so naturally they have some ways to deal with bandits, otherwise they would not dare to do business on this road.
I saw this man's eyes signaling, and two men walked out after him, pulling out a big black flag, which just blocked Li Mingyue and others behind him. The man behind him saluted to both sides, the etiquette of holding fists was the same as in the world.
The etiquette is different, but more complicated and thoughtful.
Then the man said something slang that Li Mingyue couldn't understand.
Then on the cliff by the river, a jade-faced scholar walked out, holding a folding fan and shaking it gently, and replied with the same slang.
After he finished speaking, the bandits roared loudly.
In the valley, the man frowned, glanced at Li Mingyue and others behind him, and then said: "We are escorting the young owner of Yinquan Villa. Please do it for the sake of Yinquan Villa. Please do it for your convenience."
.”
This time Li Mingyue understood.
Unexpectedly, the jade-faced scholar said with a smile: "Don't talk about Silver Spring Villa, even Shangquan Mountain, we have nothing to do with it. Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to die, keep your money and women, otherwise everyone will die!"
It seems that we can't reach an agreement.
The man should also know that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is impossible to fight forcefully, so he looked at the people behind him, only glanced at Li Mingyue, and then turned his attention to those men.
Just as Li Mingyue had guessed before, they alone would definitely not be able to deal with these bandits. Unless those men were capable, they would have some chance of winning.
Except for one of them, the rest of the men were obviously frightened, and the man suddenly felt despair.
He couldn't figure it out. He usually hurried like this, so why didn't it work today?
As an escort who specializes in escorting pedestrians, he will take care of things along the way from the beginning, so there is actually a tacit understanding between the bandits and the escorts. Generally, as long as the escort flag of his own escort agency is shown, there will be almost no surprises.
The man was lost in thought and seemed to have made a decision.
By leaving these people behind, they would be safe and worry-free, and no one would know about it afterwards, so it would naturally not affect the reputation of the escort agency.
But he didn't seem to make such a choice, and instead held the long knife at his waist.
But before he could pull out the long knife, Li Mingyue had already walked out and said with a smile: "Dear heroes, I am not with them. I don't have much money on me. I only have more than a hundred taels in total. I will give it all to repair."
Therefore, I ask you to find the next way to survive."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately stared at him, not very friendly, especially the girl, who spat: "Coward."
Li Mingyue pretended not to hear anything and just looked at the jade-faced scholar. He wanted to see if these people were coming for him.
If so, these people should be able to leave. If not, it would be easier to just let the little devil deal with it.
The jade-faced scholar laughed and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but I don't like unloyalty guys like you the most, so you have to keep the money and the people."
Li Mingyue knew it in her heart, but it didn't seem to be the case.
Li Mingyue smiled and said: "Brother, if you say that, it will be very difficult for me to handle."
After saying that, he continued: "Get out yet."
As soon as the voice fell, the ground suddenly exploded, and a little boy collapsed directly, with a pale face full of resentment.
Li Mingyue was about to kick, but the little guy turned into a shadow and rushed directly towards the cliff on the left.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a series of sounds of flesh hitting each other. In an instant, all the bandits on the cliff on the left were alive, and then the same sound came from the right.
Almost in an instant, all the forty or fifty men fell to the ground, wailing endlessly.
Everyone looked at Li Mingyue with astonishment and disbelief.
At this moment, the little devil reappeared next to Li Mingyue, with a pitiful expression on his face.
Li Mingyue said coldly: "Go back."
The little guy reluctantly dug into the earth.
Li Mingyue moved forward, and seemed to realize that no one was following her. She stopped and looked back at the crowd who still hadn't recovered, and said, "Let's go."
Everyone came to their senses and followed him by surprise.
The girl walked behind and looked at Li Mingyue secretly, with a light in her eyes.
It is said that a child is better known than his father, and a daughter is better known than her mother. Naturally, a woman knows that this little girl is in love. No wonder, after all, she is in her prime years and she was born into a martial arts family. When she meets such a person of the same age, it is inevitable that she will bump into each other.
, not to mention that this young man is really good-looking. If she were ten years younger, she would probably have a heart attack.
After all, the woman is the young owner of Yinquan Villa and has seen the world. She said at this moment: "This time I have to work with you, the young master. Fortunately, I have him here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. I wonder what your surname is and where your master is?"
She seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to ask such a question, and said hurriedly: "Master, please don't misunderstand me, I just want to have an opportunity to come and thank you."
Li Mingyue waved her hand and said: "It's a simple matter, Madam, don't take it to heart, and they are not targeting you, they are just doing it conveniently."
The woman looked a little embarrassed. She probably didn't expect the young man to be so indifferent, but she quickly recovered. After all, with such ability, it is human nature to be a little arrogant.
She then asked: "What is the business of the young master going to Jinzhou? If you are not in a hurry, you can go to Yinquan Villa to sit down. Seeing that the young master and my daughter are about the same age, I must have something to say. If possible, I can get some advice from the young master."
Second, the little girl is even more convinced."
Li Mingyue glanced at the girl and frowned slightly. Naturally, she knew what the woman had planned. She was obviously looking for her son-in-law.
The girl met Li Mingyue's eyes and hurriedly lowered her head, her face turned red.
What a shy posture, what a touching scene.
Li Mingyue hurriedly withdrew her eyes and said with a wry smile: "Yinquan Villa is from a martial arts family, but I am a practitioner. I am afraid I will disappoint my wife."
Unexpectedly, the woman smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our Yinquan Villa and Quanshan Mountain have the same origin, and my daughter has grown up in Shangquan Mountain since she was a child. She is very familiar with the magic of the immortal family and knows a lot."
Li Mingyue's frown deepened. Was this something she had to rely on?
