Supernatural space: Xiaodong's Xiaojiaojiao is super sweet

Chapter 239 Encountering Bandits

"okay."

The bodyguard who rolled up his sleeves immediately showed a raging and bright smile on his face, and then he stretched his legs, and the horse under him stepped forward. The bodyguard picked up his knife and went towards the first old man who threatened them .

After listening to Li Yan's words, the refugees felt that he was not lying. They saw a bodyguard walking towards them cruelly with a knife raised. They were so frightened that they immediately scattered to both sides. They didn't want to die.

The old man before that was targeted by the bodyguard first because he said threatening words. He was directly frightened by the other party's ferocious expression, and he didn't react for a while and ran away. Run, just a little slower.

As a result, one ear was chipped off by the grumpy bodyguard.

When the old man felt the pain coming from his ears, he screamed 'ah' and ran to the side of the road faster.

When the refugees who ran away heard the sharp cry, they ran even faster.

The old man covered half of his head with one hand, and regretted it in his heart. He shouldn't have the fluke mentality that they won't kill him, an old man.

Grumpy Escort: He just wanted to scare the old man on purpose. He had already thought about it. If the old man was afraid, let it run away. If he didn't run away, he would choose a non-fatal place to make a wound.

It never occurred to him that the other party would bring his ears to his sword.

"Let's go." Li Yan waved to the carriage behind him, then continued to lead the way on horseback.

It wasn't that he was ruthless and refused to save these people, but that these people were too greedy, if he just asked them for some food, for their pity's sake, he would give some.

But it is impossible to take these refugees on the road, and the current situation of the convoy simply does not allow more people to be taken on the road.

And he noticed that the eyes of these people have been looking into the carriage restlessly, is he curious about what is in their carriage?I still paid attention to the things inside the carriage.

Looking at the greedy eyes of some people, you can tell that they are not thinking of anything good.

Seeing the convoy moving away from them at a fast speed, the refugees scattered in all directions showed anger and pity on their faces.

It would be great if I could follow the convoy.

Two days later, the team encountered the first wave of bandits. Because there were too many vehicles in the convoy, the bandits charged 200 taels of tolls, which was a full 100 taels more than before.

There are more than 200 bandits. If they want to fight bandits, they have a chance of winning. After all, not everyone of these bandits knows kung fu, but there is another bandit village less than [-] kilometers away from this bandit village.

The bandit village is no smaller than this bandit village.

If the bodyguards were injured here, Li Yan couldn't guarantee that when they arrived at the next bandit village, those bandits would just collect tolls like this village, instead of robbing them.

If you don't want to be robbed, the team has to stop and wait until everyone's injuries are almost healed before starting again. If this is the case, the delay on the road will be even more.

They were going back to Changhe County before the Chinese New Year, so they definitely didn't want to waste time on the road.

But the toll of 200 taels is too much. The extra 100 taels of toll is equivalent to the income of the two bodyguards who escorted them this time. What is the reason for their hard work before the Chinese New Year?Don't you want to earn more money before the Chinese New Year?

Therefore, they resolutely cannot pay 200 taels of tolls as the bandits requested.

The Li Family Escort has been in contact with the bandits in these cottages for a long time, and they are considered acquaintances. After a quarter of an hour of negotiation between Li Yan and Li Yunzhong, they finally lost 50 taels.

The extra 50 taels of silver should be regarded as the price of avoiding injuries. Think about it, if there is a fight, the medical expenses for the injuries may be more than the 50 taels.

Half a day later, the team was intercepted again by another group of bandits. These bandits were getting more and more ruthless. Seeing that they came here without any damage, they knew that the bodyguard team had bought the way with silver at the last stop. So they said 300 taels to the lion.

300 taels?Why not grab it?
This time they didn't even have the intention of negotiating. Li Yan stretched out his hand and swung it left and right three times.

This was a signal that only the bodyguards of the Li Family Bodyguard Bureau could understand, and it meant that the carriage moved back. The bandits who didn't know the meaning of the gesture thought it meant calling the team to stop.

After Li Feiyang saw his father gesturing to retreat, he immediately said to the other three people: "Quickly, separate and organize the carriage to retreat." After speaking, he rode his horse and walked to the front of the convoy.

Liang Guoguo said to the two newcomers: "There is going to be a war ahead, you two go organize the carriage driver to retreat a hundred meters."

Liang Guoguo's voice was not low, and the soldiers following the carriage heard it. They didn't need to step forward to remind them, and the soldiers ordered the carriage driver beside him to back off.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Zhang and the others in the carriage heard the words of the soldiers telling the coachman to back off, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to ask.

He stepped forward to inform the retreating soldiers and said succinctly: "Ma'am, we have encountered bandits in front of us. We may start a war. Let us stay away from the battlefield so as not to get injured."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that they were about to meet each other with swords, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go back quickly."

At the stall where the carriage was retreating, Liang Guoguo and the others had already gone forward to inform the carriage in front.

The moment the bodyguards in front waved at the head of the bodyguard, as long as they were next to the driver, they immediately reminded them to back off, and then rode forward on horseback.

"Yunzhong, you go to the back to guard, let Yanger and Guoer come to the front." Before the fight started, Li Yan whispered to Li Yunzhong.

Compared with Yang'er and Guo'er's force value, Yun Zhong is still a little lower. In order to make a quick decision later and reduce more people in the team from being injured, he has to change positions with Guo'er and Yang'er.

In order to protect the safety of the escorted items, the team has regulations every time they go out. In the case of such a large-scale battle, some bodyguards will be left behind to protect the items.

Originally, Liang Guoguo was supposed to be the escort of the convoy because she was standing at the end of the team. She had been paying attention to the situation ahead, and just heard Li Yan and Li Yunzhong's whispers. She asked Luo Cheng and Meng Lin to pay attention to their surroundings. Just go forward.

"Young Madam, I'll come over to change places with you. Be careful."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong."

Several carriages at the end of the convoy retreated. How could the bandits on the opposite side not see such a big move?
"Boss Li, what do you mean?" the leader of the bandit asked with a stinky face.

Li Yan pretended not to understand what he meant, and in order to make the convoy behind retreat a little further, he deliberately asked back: "What do you mean? Please let Master Jiang make it clear."
