Chapter Fifty-ninth: Looking for a dead end without knowing it
The two of them looked at Chai Jiangcui without any seriousness at all, and were soon noticed by a guard beside the old man.
The color of this guard's clothes is slightly darker than that of the others, so he must be the leader among them.
The leader of the guard leaned over to the old man's ear and whispered:
"Mr. Dee, those two scoundrels seem to be plotting against that girl. Do we want to do this?"
The old man known as Di Gong raised his hand, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said calmly:
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people now, so if you go up there, you can at most teach them a lesson, it won't hurt. It's better to completely solve this kind of cancer in the countryside.
I don’t know whose girl this is, she actually goes out without any protection, not even a self-defense weapon. Dayan is not what it was back then."
"With Di Gong and herdsman guarding Bingzhou, the public security is already better than in other places."
The guard leader nodded understandingly, and slapped him in the face again. He looked at the two men again, as if he was looking at two dead bodies.
"Perhaps this girl escaped from marriage? Seeing as she is riding a donkey, she may have come out in a hurry and did not have enough money with her."
No one doubts that Chai Jiangcui is not the daughter of a wealthy family. Because of her elegant posture and beautiful appearance, a family without certain financial resources cannot raise such a beauty.
Not to mention, the guard leader's wild guess was half right. A large part of Chai Jiangcui's reason for traveling was to escape from marriage.
It's just that the process was not as embarrassing as the guard leader imagined. The reason why he chose to ride a donkey instead of a horse was simply because the donkey walked more smoothly and did not cluck its buttocks.
Chai Jiangcui also felt the malice of the two strong men, but she didn't need to care about it.
She had encountered this kind of thing more than ten times during her leisurely travels. Bandits robbed the road, and caravans plotted evil. But without exception, they all became fertilizer for the big trees beside the road.
"Two more bones are needed. These people really don't have long memories."
The little white fox peeled off the salty peanuts served by the tea stall owner and secretly mocked in his heart.
After leisurely drinking a pot of tea, Chai Jiangcui handed a few copper coins to the young man in the tea shed, paid for the tea, got on the donkey and left the tea shed slowly while everyone was watching.
"Let's go, second brother, let's follow."
The swarthy man touched Scarface with his elbow, put down the tea bowl in his hand and followed him.
As for the checkout, it’s a joke. Who from all over the country doesn’t know that he eats like a tiger and never pays.
Due to the force of the dark man, the grandfather and grandson of the tea shed dared not speak out. They could only secretly feel happy in their hearts that the tiger on the ground did not smash his own teapot and tea bowl after drinking tea.
"Mr. Dee, they two followed, are we?"
"You lead two people to chase after you, and I will be right behind you. After you are done with it, ask this girl to come over. I kind of want to know whose girl is so brave."
"As commanded."
After receiving the old man's order, the guard leader no longer hesitated. He randomly named two people beside the carriage, turned around and chased in the direction Chai Jiangcui left.
"Hey, it's time to deal with the rot bugs in these villages."
Looking at the grandfather and grandson of the tea shed who were silently cleaning up the teapot, the old man drank the coarse tea in the bowl in one gulp.
The gangsters in the villages and towns of Bingzhou City did not know at this time that due to an inexplicable incident, they and others were about to undergo a major purge.
The donkey stayed away from the tea shed, and the crowds on both sides of the official road gradually became sparse.
The scenery in spring is still very good, with birds chirping and wild flowers fragrant. It would be better if no one makes trouble.
When Chai Jiangcui turned into a forest, the two Si Dihu brothers who had taken a shortcut and waited for a long time finally jumped out.
Sitting Tiger raised the machete in his hand and said with a sinister smile:
The two men held blades in their hands and blocked the road completely one after the other.
"Little lady, there are so many jackals, tigers and leopards in Bingzhou. It's very dangerous to go out alone. But today, my two brothers are kind-hearted and will escort you for a while to ensure that you get there safely."
"Oh? You and I are strangers to each other. I wonder what kind of reward you want?"
Gently stroking the hair on her temples, Chai Jiangcui showed no fear on her face. In fact, if she hadn't stopped him, Shuiyue Sword would have opened several holes in the bodies of these two thieves.
"Hey, it's not much. I just want you to give me all your belongings and stay with my brother for a few more days. What do you think of this condition?"
The man sitting on the ground said, his eyes drifting to the bag of carrots behind the donkey several times, and his eyes became more and more greedy.
Dealing with a defenseless woman was like searching for something. The sitting tiger was already thinking about how much money he could get out of the bag on the donkey's back.
"I don't think it's good."
Chai Jiangcui shook her head indifferently and directly rejected his suggestion.
"Brother, let's stop talking nonsense to her. It would be easier to just tie her up. I can't bear it anymore."
Compared with the perverted psychology of a sitting tiger who enjoys watching its prey resist, the second child is obviously much more anxious.
He rushed over with a big knife and stretched out his hand to pull Chai Jiangcui off the donkey's back.
However, just when the second child was less than two feet away from Chai Jiangcui, a marble-sized gravel suddenly shot out from the woods.
The gravel penetrated the fallen leaves, like a bullet, hitting the second child's chest with great accuracy.
"cough!"
Feeling the sudden severe pain, Lao Er couldn't help but look down and saw a fist-sized hole in his chest, with all the flesh, blood and heart inside missing.
"Varied……"
Before the word "huh" could be uttered, Lao Er's vision turned black and he fell to the ground and died.
"Dick!"
Seeing the tragic situation of his brother, Si Dihu was suddenly startled, clenched his sword and rushed towards Chai Jiangcui, without any trace of the arrogance he had just now.
At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that the person who attacked by surprise must have extremely high martial arts skills to kill the second child in one move. He was simply not able to deal with them using these country moves.
Only by holding a woman hostage and having a bargaining chip can you escape with your life.
But often the thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Just as Si Dihu took a step, another stone flew out and hit him directly in the head.
The next moment, a big crater appeared on Sitting Tiger's head. Because the skull was relatively hard, the stone could not completely crush it, but a three centimeter-deep depression was enough to kill Sitting Tiger.
His head was injured, and he didn't even scream. He just died.
After the two gangsters were dealt with, the leader of the guard walked out of the woods with a steady pace.
Chai Jiangcui turned to look at the guard leader. The reason why she didn't let Shuiyue Sword take action just now was because she noticed their presence. Now it seems that these people are here to save her?
"Little girl Jiujiu, thank you brothers for your help."
Getting off the donkey's back, Chai Jiangcui bowed his hands to several people in thanks, but the name he gave was naturally borrowed from Jiu Jiu. Anyway, Brother Jiu is so considerate, so he shouldn't be angry.
"Girl, you don't have to be polite. I am Zhang Miao, and I am the bodyguard of Bingzhou Prefectural Mufu. These two are my colleagues... My master wants to invite the girl to have a talk. I wonder if she can appreciate it?"
When it came to inviting Chai Jiangcui over, Zhang Miao hesitated. The reason was that the woman who called herself "Jiu Jiu" acted too calmly when faced with the two gangsters. She was not at all what ordinary people should be.
of panic.
This made Zhang Miao have to wonder whether Jiu Jiu was deliberately using this as an excuse to get close to his master.
But I can't disobey the master's order. All I can do is keep an eye on the woman in front of me, otherwise she will do something extraordinary.
"The governor of Bingzhou invites me, how can I refuse? I would also like to ask Brother Zhang to lead the way."
Chai Jiangcui didn't know what he was worried about, so she nodded casually and agreed to Zhang Miao's invitation.
She had a simple idea, that is, to have a chat with Zhou Mu to see how this kind of powerful man who had been able to force her to travel far away was different from ordinary people.
"Okay, please girl, come with me."
Zhang Miao responded, then winked at the two colleagues beside him, and led the way forward.
The two guards realized what the head meant and deliberately lagged half a step behind Chai Jiang Cui Donkey.
The three of them formed a triangle formation and sandwiched Chai Jiangcui in the middle. They seemed to be protecting her, but in fact they could monitor her every move to a great extent.
