Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Tai Jiye's clan members then said, "Before, I was worried that the news would get out, and I was worried that someone would do evil things to Ruiyang, so I kept it secret from everyone. In fact, Ruiyang is not my sister-in-law's nephew, he is the young master of the Zheng family!"

The Zheng family?

No one reacted for a moment, but Tai Yonglu reminded him, "It's the house where my grandfather took everyone to put out the fire! He also gave a thank-you gift to our family..."

Everyone suddenly realized it and their eyes widened in surprise!

"Aren't all the Zheng family members dead? Uncle Six brought everyone to help bury them!"

"Ah, it turns out that Ruiyang is the young master of the Zheng family. This kid is very lucky!"

Tai Jiye waved his hand to signal everyone to keep their voices down, and said, "The affairs of Ruiyang's family are really strange. My old man was worried that Ruiyang was still alive and the bad guys found out about it, which would lead to him being killed, so he hid it from everyone.

"Everyone, don't talk too much. Just know it in your heart. Now that Ruiyang has found his uncle, everything will soon be revealed."

Everyone nodded quickly and responded.

"Third brother, don't worry. We are not talkative people!"

"Yes, no matter what Ruiyang's last name is, he is just like our Tai family children now."

"It's just that we don't know who the bad guy is yet, so Ruiyang needs to hide it."

Chen Zhao felt grateful after hearing this. The Tai family really took good care of their nephew, even the villagers were so protective of him.

He raised his hands and saluted and thanked, "Thank you brothers. When I return to the pass, I'm afraid I have to investigate the truth about the family's disaster. Ruiyang will still stay in our village. I will trouble you brothers to continue to take care of you for a while. I will be very angry with you. I will definitely thank you brothers."

"Shopkeeper Chen, you're too polite. We're all members of our family." The villagers laughed naively. They wanted to be polite but didn't know how to do it, so they could only wave their hands awkwardly.

They took care of Chen Ruiyang for the sake of the Sixth Uncle's family, and because Chen Ruiyang was a good kid, not for a thank you gift...

Due to the temporary merger of the two teams, they were very busy for a while.

By the time everything was done, it was almost noon.

Tai Jiye was anxious to go home, and Chen Zhao also wanted to go back early to investigate the family feud. The two hit it off and set off at that time.

Everyone in the Tai family has been away for more than half a month, and the guards and assistants of the Chen family have been away for half a year. They are all eager to return home!
The convoy traveled more than 50 miles in one breath, and when it was getting dark, they set up camp.

When Chen Ruiyang found his uncle, he felt half relieved and looked a little childish.

Tai Yonglu wanted to find something fun for his sister, so he decided to visit the nearby herdsmen tribe.

Of course Chen Ruiyang wanted to follow, so they took five or six guards and set off.

As a result, after walking only three miles, something unexpected happened.

A group of five or sixty horse thieves rushed towards them, and even split into two teams while running, with a vague attitude of outflanking them.

"No, run! Go back and report the news!" Tai Yonglu almost screamed at the top of his lungs, and everyone turned their horses and ran back.

A veteran guard took out a loud arrow from the quiver on his back and shot it directly into the air.

The sharp whistle can be heard clearly within a radius of five or six miles.

Tai Jiye was sitting with Chen Zhao, talking and baking some dry food.

Hearing the noise, Chen Zhao didn't think anything of it, but Tai Jiye jumped up, "The enemy is attacking, prepare to fight!"

Everyone in the Tai family immediately took out hatchets, kicked out the bonfire, and jumped behind the carriage to take cover.

The Chen family was not slow to respond and followed closely behind.In the blink of an eye, Tai Yonglu, Chen Ruiyang and others ran back.

"Third uncle, he is a horse thief, a horse thief!"

"Uncle, uncle! Forty or fifty horse thieves are coming to kill us!"

Weigher and others jumped out, led a few people, and threw them directly into the convoy's protective circle.

Before anyone could say anything more, the horse thief arrived.

Each of these people was extremely fierce, with long hair braided on top of their heads, half of their arms exposed, dark skin, eyes glowing red like hungry wolves, and a bloodthirsty smile on the corners of their mouths.

The entire convoy is just prey in their eyes, and killing them all is the basis for their survival!

Everyone in the Chen family was okay, they had experienced it several times, but everyone in the Tai family had made three or four trips to the grassland, and this was the first time they had faced a vicious horse thief.

The first time I was accompanied by the Min family caravan, the second time I was lucky and went smoothly, and the third and fourth times I was escorted by Weighing Instruments and others.

Nowadays, a group of men from peasant backgrounds suddenly have to face life and death challenges. Even though they hold their sabers tightly, their faces turn pale and their legs tremble...

The horse thieves stopped less than three feet away from the convoy. The leader of the horse thieves covered his face with a black cloth, pulled the horse's reins, and then shouted in awkward Wei dialect, "Leave the goods and spare your death!"

Tai Jiye wanted to answer, but was pulled by Chen Zhao.

Chen Peng jumped on the carriage and took out a palm-sized gray sign with the head of a wolf howling on the moon carved on it.

Chen Peng said loudly, "We are the distinguished guests of the third prince of the Royal Court, and we have the Roaring Moon Wolf card here. You retreat quickly, otherwise the Royal Court's cavalry will definitely hunt you down to the end!"

The leader of the horse thieves looked at the sign carefully and his expression changed a little. He held the reins tightly in his hand and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

At this time, a subordinate behind him came forward and muttered a few words, and the leader's face darkened.

Tai Jiye saw something was wrong and whispered to Chen Zhao, "Something's wrong. These horse thieves must be short of supplies. There will definitely be a fierce battle today."

Chen Zhao also nodded, but no matter whether the wolf card is effective or not, he must try it. If conflicts can be avoided, everyone will avoid a bloody battle.

Sure enough, the leader raised his saber and shouted loudly, "We don't recognize the brand, hand over the goods, and hurry back to the pass, otherwise... kill you all! Even if the royal court investigates, they can't find any trace of us!"

Chen Peng was furious. During this period, they followed the shopkeeper and stayed in the royal city. Even the prince treated them with great courtesy. Unexpectedly, they were bullied and ignored by a little pony thief today.

"Presumptuous! Are you desperate for your life? This is the grassland, under the jurisdiction of the royal court! How dare you offend the prince's distinguished guests!"

The leader of the horse thieves was obviously impatient. He directly raised his sharp saber and charged forward fiercely.

Wengqi and others immediately shot out the arrows in their hands.

The horse thieves were very close, but their equestrian skills were so good that they actually bent down and hid on the side of the horses. Except for one who scratched his arm, the others were not injured at all.

Everyone raised their hearts and raised the sabers in their hands.

In an instant, soldiers were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The number of people on both sides was the same, but their momentum was completely different after one attack and one defense!

Tai Jiye and Chen Zhao dealt with a horse thief together, shouting at everyone, "I'll chop them all to death, and let the horse thief come in! If anything happens to any of us, our family will be responsible for raising his children and the elderly! Kill him!"

Chen Zhao's heart was even more burning. He was eager to return to the pass to take revenge, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by such a group of ruthless bandits.

The Chen family hasn't done anything evil, so why are they just going through such a rough patch, as if they've been punished by God!

While the two sides were fighting, with their lives hanging on a thread, another cavalry rumbled over in the distance. Everyone was shocked, not knowing whether it was an enemy or a friend! (End of chapter)
