"Everyone raises his sword, please remember, we are not evil people, but we have to guard against the beacon fire. We only take this one shot!"
When it got a little dark, more than ten riders and horses finally couldn't hold back anymore and took advantage of the darkness to gallop.
According to their thinking, the Zhuang people's team at this time was almost dying because of thirst for water.
"Why hasn't Gonggu returned yet?"
"That little brat with paralysis... I can't care anymore, kill him first!"
Behind a sand dune not far away, Si Hu pulled out a few arrows from the tiger shield, then got on his horse and hurried forward.
A stooped man who was unconscious on the sand was drowned by the blowing sand not long after.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked coldly at the lanterns in the distance, which swayed rapidly in the night from time to time, accompanied by the roars of Chen Sheng and others.
"Mr. Xu Fangzhu, these people under your command are not the best in the pool." Zhou Fu felt sad. He didn't know that before meeting Xu Mu, people like Chen Sheng were just the most ordinary people in Wangzhou City.
The driver.
After fighting again and again, I gained the courage I have now.
"This world is like a rotten dog opening its mouth. If you don't want to be eaten, you have to sharpen your teeth first."
The sand and dust at night, stirred by the strong wind, became more and more fierce. The men and horses on both sides galloping on the sand were also killing each other more and more fiercely.
Click.
Chen Sheng raised his simple sword and slashed down angrily. Then he slashed Wu Xing who had missed the horse and made him fall off the horse and cry out in pain.
"The wind is blowing hard!" The martial arts leader saw something was wrong and shouted hurriedly.
The remaining three or four cavalrymen were about to run back in a hurry, but before they had run half a mile, they encountered a huge man with a heavy back and a strong back. He stood up and blocked their way coldly.
A martial artist tried to force his way in. As soon as he pulled up the reins and didn't even raise his dagger, his head fell to the ground.
The remaining two martial arts warriors knew they had no way out, so they could only grit their teeth and kill with daggers in hand.
…
Half an hour later, under the vast darkness of night, seven or eight people from the Cavalry finally came back. Their blades were all stained with blood.
"My boss, I killed them all, got a few knives, and some horses."
"I also went to see the carriage. In the carriage, there were any rich and noble people, but they were all killed by these gangs who were seeking wealth and wealth."
"There are still more than a dozen corpses buried in the nearby sand pit two miles away. They probably belong to those wealthy employers."
Xu Mu listened with great boredom. His guess was correct. This group of martial artists had completely turned into villains.
"Get in the car. If anyone is injured, apply the golden sore medicine immediately."
"It is not suitable to stay here any longer. I will work harder and rush to the town overnight."
After experiencing a disaster, the five carriages set off for the second time, turned around, and continued on their way following the correct direction of Monan Town.
"Brother Mu, I remembered something, please wait for me."
Si Hu scratched his head and hurriedly rode back. After a while, when he rushed back, there was already a dying figure on the horse.
"Si Hu, what is this?"
"That good archer, when he shot me earlier, he didn't aim for the fatal point. Instead, he wanted to shoot my arms and legs."
"Brother Tiger, so you didn't kill him?"
Si Hu moved his mouth and said, "He is a poor man. He has mastered the art of archery, which is amazing."
After getting off the horse, Si Hu lifted a figure as thin as a monkey onto the carriage with one hand.
Xu Mu frowned and looked around. Even though he had seen big scenes in the past few days, at this time, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
The young man in front of him was about twenty years old. He had a hunchback, one hand was thin, and the other was swollen.
One eye was cut open with an unknown instrument, leaving a long scar that extended to his cheek.
"I heard those martial artists call him Gong Dog."
"He does look a bit like a dog."
According to what Si Hu said, this is not a very evil person.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Mu said calmly, "Si Hu, tie him to the car first. If he wakes up and disobeys, throw him out of the car."
"Brother Mu, I understand."
"Turn on the lantern and rush to Monan Town tonight."
As the sky was getting brighter, the outline of Monan Town finally appeared in sight.
"After passing Monan Town, we'll wait. We'll leave the border area." Zhou Fu couldn't help but repeat it again. In fact, the scene of Wangzhou's ruined city was too scary.
Xu Mu couldn't suppress the joy on his face. He ran all the way and finally got a good start.
"Xu Lang, I'm going to buy some dry food and get some water." Jiang Caiwei came over and said crisply.
"Xu Lang, if there is anything you like to eat, I will bring it to you as well."
"Sister Caiwei, what are you doing with this scoundrel!" Li Xiaowan angrily got out of the car and returned to her previous arrogant appearance. Before Jiang Caiwei could recover, she had already grabbed her hands and walked straight forward.
Xiniang stayed in Hezhou. Now, apart from Xia Shuang who was accompanying the carriage, the only one who could keep company with the young servant girl was Li Dawan.
"Zhou Zun and Zhou Luo, go and see Madam."
"Don't worry, boss."
At the gate of the town, there was still an endless stream of wealthy gentlemen rushing in from the direction of Hezhou. Most of them had expressions of fear on their faces.
"Chen Sheng, go find an inn and have a good rest today."
At these words, not only Chen Sheng and others, but also the three scholars with sad faces behind them all raised their heads in surprise.
Xu Mu was also a little helpless. It would take at least a long time to go to the inner city. It was rare to encounter a town, and there was no shortage of money. He simply found an inn to take a good rest first and slow down his horse to avoid running to death. .
"Brother Mu, he's awake."
Xu Mu was startled, and then turned around. After a while, he found that the pitiful little man had his eyes open and his whole body was lying on the carriage with difficulty. He was looking at him with his head held high and his eyes wary.
A hunchback, blindness, or disabled hands, any one of them would be enough for an ordinary person to lament for a lifetime.
However, the young man in front of him seemed to refuse to accept his fate, and he had also developed a good skill with the magic bow.
"I won't kill you, but tell me what your name is." After hesitating, Xu Mu picked up a water bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to the young man.
"Without a name or surname, they call me Gong Dog."
After swallowing his saliva, the little man opened his mouth, bit down on the water bag, and with a strong tug, he snatched Xu Mu's hand away, held his head in his mouth, and started drinking.
Si Hu was a little angry and came to punch him twice, but Xu Mu stopped him immediately.
"You were born to be hesitant, so you became a thief?"
"They...gave me food, I want to live."
Gonggou's eyes filled with tears, "My little boss, please tell me that I am a useless person with no abilities. Even if I can shoot a bow, I can only shoot a few arrows a day because of the paralysis in my right arm. Please tell me, I can Do it!"
Xu Mu's face was silent, and he looked at Gonguo's only eye for a long time. Although it was cloudy, there was still a clear stream of light. If he was really a bloodthirsty maniac, he should be dodging at this time.
Unconsciously, Xu Mu started to recruit people.
It's not just pity, but the bow dog is really capable, as the three exploding water bags are enough to prove it.
But in Zhuangzi, Si Hu, Chen Sheng and his gang are all reckless men who are not good at bow skills.
"I'll give you a bite of food, and then follow me." Xu Mu said calmly, "When you build a village in the future, I will go to the official office for you to get the dental plaque and household registration."
The carriage was still swaying, and the blind little hunchback lowered his head and spoke in a somewhat stern voice.
"My dear boss, I was born ugly."
"I'm not looking for a girl, so why should I care about this?"
"Bye, meet my boss, woo woo."
The bow dog fell down and knocked heavily on the carriage floor.
