Chapter 127 The parents on the road to escape 25
If those bandits attack them, Zhangjiacun will be in danger.
After much thinking, no suitable excuse came to mind, Yuan Xi scratched his head, "Huzi, do you believe my uncle? I always feel that Black Tiger Village will retaliate against us, and maybe he is following us, waiting for an opportunity."
"Of course, these are all my intuitions. If you don't believe it..."
"letter."
Qi Hu said firmly: "Uncle Zhang, I believe it."
So careless?
Yuan Xi didn't even know where Qi Hu's confidence in him came from.
"Come on, Uncle Zhang, let's go find the clan leader to discuss this."
So where did he get his confidence? Yuan Xi's mind was filled with questions.
Then he was pulled to the clan leader by Qi Hu with a confused look on his face.
"This matter must be treated with caution." The patriarch exhaled white smoke from his mouth, "I would rather believe that it is true than that it is not true."
"It's better that you think carefully. We can't go this way. Let's find another way."
Last time, there were about forty bandits, and several of them were seriously injured. If Yuan Xi's medicine hadn't worked so well, several of them would have died on the road. It was good luck this time, and the clan leader doesn't want to rely on luck every time. If something happens next time, he will regret it.
"But if the bandits really follow us, they can change their route and keep chasing us."
Yuan Xi recalled the map. Taking the official road was the closest to the next mansion, Pingyang Mansion. After Pingyang Mansion, it was Zhongzhou.
The journey of escaping to Central Continent was initially successful.
And the closer we get to July, the more powerful the drought will be, and water sources along the way will no longer be guaranteed.
Unlike now, the rivers and streams in Xizhou have not dried up, and it is easy to replenish water sources along the way.
The change of route was rejected, and the clan leader had no other ideas. Yuan Xi made a suggestion, and the clan leader thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The next two days were uneventful.
In addition to passing through a small town on the way, everyone in Zhangjiacun went to the town to do some shopping.
The town was not big, so they did not stop after purchasing, and then headed towards Pingyang Mansion.
Just after leaving Zhangjia Village, another group of vicious people came to the small town behind.
"Brother, it seems that we are getting closer to that group of refugees. I just inquired and there is a group of people in front of us. It should be them." The third master was eager to take the brothers and chase them.
"Third brother, don't worry, let's send a few brothers who have escaped to investigate. Can a mere refugee escape from the hands of our two brothers?" The boss is very confident. It must have been because the second brother underestimated the enemy last time. There are too few people. This time Black Tiger Village comes out in force, but they can't defeat a group of refugees.
The boss smiled confidently and said, "Let the brothers have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will avenge the second brother."
Except for the people sent to gather information, the rest of the bandits rested in the town for one night.
They didn't notice that two people looked at their team with surprised expressions, then quietly left the town and chased in the direction Zhangjia Village left.
"How's it going?"
The clan leader asked impatiently.
"A group of people really came to the town. They were vicious and looked like they were not good people."
"And there are knives in their car, which are exactly the same as the knives we seized. They must be from Black Tiger Village."
"I also saw them sending a few people on horseback in this direction, and there were a few acquaintances inside. They were the bandits who escaped last time."
The two of them retell the scene they saw, one by one.
The clan leader gave them a great credit in person before letting them rest.
The two people who were running to death suddenly collapsed to the ground and were carried to the car and put down. The two people who liked the car almost cried with joy because they no longer had to walk.
"The people from Black Tiger Village are really coming after us."
The clan leader was a little puzzled, "I really don't understand why Black Tiger Village came to chase us with such a big fanfare. What kind of hatred or grievances are there? They are robbing people. Is it possible that no one has been killed?"
Yuan Xi knew it but he couldn't say it. He could only say it was a coincidence.
"Maybe the identity of the leader who died last time was not simple. After all, ordinary robbers don't carry that much money with them."
"Makes sense."
The clan leader nodded in approval. He still had the two hundred taels of silver notes in his pocket. Whoever goes out to rob and carry so much money must be someone with status.
"They will probably catch up tomorrow, clan leader, we are proceeding as planned."
The next day.
Zhangjia Village set out early in the morning. Under the control of the clan leader, they came to a mountain col during the lunch break. There were a circle of cars parked outside as obstacles. Qi Hu and his people were guarding the car. The old, weak, women and children were all inside. No one is cooking today, everyone is eating the dry food bought in the town yesterday.
Knowing that something big happened, the children in the village were quiet.
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
"Xu~"
The first master and the third master saw the carriages forming a circle, and there were many people holding spears to defend them.
"Brother, it seems that they have been prepared for this. Our news has been leaked."
"There were people from them in the town yesterday. They were really cautious. No wonder my second son died in their hands."
The boss was riding on his horse, looking down at Qi Hu, "Boy, it was you who killed my second brother."
The person who was on par with him flashed through Qi Hu's mind. It turned out to be the second in command of Black Tiger Village. No wonder.
He looked up at the man on the horse, "So what?"
The Third Master's face was gloomy, his eyes full of malice, "No matter what, as long as you die obediently, I will spare the lives of others."
Qi Hu laughed disdainfully and ignored him, his face full of ridicule.
The Third Master roared angrily: "You kid, wait for death, I will cut you into pieces."
Out of anger, he did not step forward. After all, his subordinates had not yet arrived, and there were many people on the other side. This was how the second master died, and he did not want to make the same mistake again.
Time passed little by little, and the two sides confronted each other, occasionally swearing a few rubbish words.
But even if the scolding made his face red and his neck thick, no one made the first move.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of carriages came from a distance, carrying all the properties of Black Tiger Village.
The speed of a carriage is naturally not as fast as that of a horse, and all the people transporting property have arrived. The Third Master is already impatient to wait.
Immediately organize manpower to prepare for a strong attack and kill him without leaving any trace behind.
There was a car blocking them, so they could only dismount and rush towards Qi Hu and others.
With more than two hundred people, Zhangjiacun resisted very hard, but the training time was too short.
"shhhhhhhh"
A shower of spears suddenly appeared on the left, and everyone in Black Tiger Village was injured. Some of the unlucky ones were directly hit in the vital points and fell to the ground dead.
The most unlucky thing was the Third Leader who was sitting on the horse. He was so conspicuous that Yuan Xi saw him at a glance. If not, who would I hit?
The third master, whose head was shot, died on the spot. The spear passed through the third master and hit the first master next to him. However, the eldest master was wearing armor. He was not dead, but suffered internal injuries. He fell off his horse and lay down for a while before getting up.
