Liu Tie was also alarmed. He led his people to guard the tent and watched carefully as the group of people rushed past them and dispersed along the intersection.
After the group of people had gone far away, Liu Tie shook his head in confusion, "It's strange, these people look like they are soldiers."
"Why did so many people suddenly run away?"
After listening to Liu Tie's words, Chen Xiaobei thought, "Brother Liu, do you think there might be some emergency in Jizhou City?"
Liu Tie nodded, "I guess so."
"It looks like they are Zhu Meng's men. Could it be that Jizhou City was captured and they were scattered?"
"That would be great. If Jizhou City is conquered, the war will be over." He and Xiaobei also sighed.
While the two were talking, more than a dozen strong men hurried over.
Someone saw two tents on the roadside and suddenly walked towards them.
Before Liu Tie and Chen Xiaobei could speak, the person who came had a cold look in his eyes. He directly pulled out the scimitar from behind and swung it towards Liu Tie.
Seeing the other person being violent when they disagreed, Liu Tie couldn't tolerate him. He swung his body behind the person, raised his hand and slapped the person directly on the back.
The kid spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't hold the scimitar in his hand. He fell to the ground with a clang.
Then his body swayed twice and collapsed to the ground.
The man covered his chest, gasping for air, and looked at Liu Tie with an incredulous expression.
Maybe he didn't expect that he would be maimed after just one confrontation.
Liu Tie picked up the machete on the ground, put it on the man's neck and asked sternly, "What do you think you do?"
There was a look of horror in the man's eyes as he watched Liu Tie begin to beg for mercy, "Hero, have mercy on me, man, have mercy on me. We have no choice. We want to borrow some money from you to help us get home."
After hearing this, Liu Tieyi frowned, "Who are you?"
"I am Zhu Meng's subordinate. We broke out last night and were dispersed. Now I just want to go back to my hometown in Tianzhou."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei quickly interjected and asked, "What's the situation in Jizhou now?"
"I don't know anymore. Anyway, we dispersed. Zhu Meng had already broken through and left. When we escaped, we saw that the prince's people had already begun to enter the city."
When Chen Xiaobei and Liu Tie looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh.
I really didn't expect that the war in Jizhou would end so soon.
Liu Tie sighed, reached out and took out a few broken pieces of silver from his arms, and threw them in front of this man.
"Take it and go back to your hometown."
The man looked at Liu Tie with a grateful face, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, then picked up the broken silver and stumbled away.
After he left, Liu Tie put his little finger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
Upon hearing the whistle, all the guards brought by Liu Tie immediately came out of the tent.
"Everyone, please be vigilant. I'm afraid there may be a lot of soldiers coming today."
Suddenly Chen Xiaobei was shocked. Since these people dared to ask for money from him and Liu Tie, would they do the same thing if they met Cui Hongyu on the way?
Thinking of this, he quickly grabbed Liu Tie's arm and briefly stated his worries.
Liu Tie pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Brother, what you said makes sense. If we were met by these vicious gangsters on the way, I'm afraid it would be really hard to tell."
"Let me take a few people to meet you."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head firmly, "Brother Liu, it's better for me to go. After all, this is my family matter."
"No, it's too obvious for you to go. Since you can kidnap Cui Hongyu, this person probably recognizes you." Liu Tie said his reason.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement, "Well, Brother Lao Liu will do everything."
While talking, Huang Ying also came out of the tent.
"Brother Xiaobei, I'll go too."
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at Huang Ying and nodded slightly.
"Huang Ying, you must pay attention to safety on the road. By the way, if you encounter these soldiers, don't be too polite to them, just kill them." Chen Xiaobei's tone also became firm.
In times of war and chaos, it is impossible to suppress this group of people without using ruthless tactics. Only direct ruthless attacks will scare them.
Huang Ying smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, their three-legged cat skills can't do anything to me!"
Soon Huang Ying, Liu Tie and others left on horseback. Seeing them leaving, Chen Xiaobei's heart rose to his throat again.
Huang Ying, Liu Tie and others formed a very long battle line, almost three miles apart from the front and back. Huang Ying took the lead and walked at the front.
Liu Tie didn't argue with him, after all, this was Chen Xiaobei's housework.
Huang Ying whipped her horse whip hard and ran very fast. In a short time, she pulled Liu Tie and the others out of sight. Seeing this scene, Liu Tie couldn't help but shake his head. She was an impatient girl.
Huang Ying ran for more than ten miles in one breath. There were a few pedestrians in front of her, some coming this way and some going the other way, but they didn't see the carriage Liu Tie mentioned.
Maybe it wasn't there yet, Huang Ying urged the horse again and ran another twenty miles in one breath.
There was a patch of weeds on the opposite side of the road. Huang Ying jumped off her horse and asked the horse to eat some grass. She also drank some water and waited for Liu Tie and others.
Just then, I heard a horse neighing in the distance.
Then a carriage appeared on the roadside in the distance. Yes, that's right, it was a carriage.
Huang Ying couldn't help but get excited when she saw the carriage appearing. She had an idea in the blink of an eye. She quickly walked up to the horse and led the horse to eat grass. She chose to turn her back to the official road.
In this way, as long as you turn slightly sideways as the horse moves, you can see the situation of the people on the carriage without letting the people on the carriage see your whole face.
I have to say that Huang Ying's experience in the arena has been of great help to her.
The carriage quickly approached, and Huang Ying glanced at it and saw Chen Sanqiu.
It's him. Although she doesn't quite know this person's name, Huang Ying is very sure that he is from Hetou Village.
The presence of people from Hetou Village here clearly matched their analysis. The person who kidnapped Cui Hongyu must be an acquaintance.
Sitting next to Chen Sanqiu was Liu Xiaobao. Huang Ying did not know this person, but judging from his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he was not a good guy.
Huang Ying's mind moved, she put her fingers into her waist and took out two flying needles. With a slight flick of the needle, two points of cold light quickly flew towards Chen Sanqiu and Liu Xiaobao.
Because it was still uncertain whether these two people kidnapped Cui Hongyu, Huang Ying did not make a killing move and only aimed at the arms of the two people.
Chen Sanqiu and Liu Xiaobao, who were driving the car, felt their arms go numb, and then they couldn't lift their entire arms.
"Xiaobao, why do I feel like my arms are so heavy?"
