It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

At dusk, the peddler pushed open the gate, realized something was wrong, and turned around and left!

The captain inside the house shouted, "Stop!"

But the peddler dropped his load and walked briskly.
The team leader was angry and cursed:
"Damn it, you dare to run? Chase me!"

Four or five militiamen rushed out of the courtyard with swords and guns, blew whistles, and chased after the enemy.
In the alleys and streets, there was a sudden commotion.

Yesterday, the Nanyun Town militia,

After receiving a tip-off from the masses, the couple in the courtyard were arrested and tortured.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a traitor working for Zhuxiantai.

Number One was shocked and angry, and ordered a thorough investigation.

At least we have to catch the contact person of Zhuxiantai, and then catch him red-handed, so that we can go and find Old Zhu to hold him accountable.

So, his trusted followers set up a trap and waited for him.

When the peddler arrived at the door, he ordered the net to be closed.

Unexpectedly, the scouts at Zhuxiantai were also very alert.

He sensed danger before being caught and fled decisively.
There is a joke that says a hound chases a rabbit, but why does it fail nine times out of ten?
Because one is a job, the other is a desperate effort.

The Zhuxiantai scout spread his long legs.
"Thump, thump, thump!" He fled the town directly.

When the captain came after him on horseback, the peddler ran wildly on the ridge of the field.
The paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are very muddy, and the ridges are extremely narrow.

The horses carrying people on their backs couldn't run at all, so they could only surround the enemy from the outside.
After a while, the Zhuxiantai scouts were forced by more than 20 militiamen to flee to the vicinity of Chihe Village.
Seeing that he was surrounded on all sides, with no escape,
The peddler made up his mind and jumped into the pond.
The pond was a hundred feet in radius, and he hoped to find a chance to escape.
The backbone team leader rode over on horseback, swaggering over.
“Son of a bitch, why don’t you run away?
Aren’t you a very good runner? Come on, I’ll let you run 39 meters first! "

At this time, about twenty militiamen,
Scattered on the bank of the pond, they stared intently at the Zhuxiantai spies paddling in the water.

See which side the enemy is approaching, and go over to reinforce.

In this way, no matter where the peddler landed, he would face the siege of at least three militiamen.

The peddler, who was about to run out of energy, knew very well that going ashore would mean giving away his life.

Seeing that the boy didn't come ashore, dusk was gradually falling and it would be dark if we waited any longer.
The team leader rolled his eyes and shouted:

"Smash it for me. Find a stone... or mud will do. Smash this bastard to death..."

So, more than 20 soldiers searched for "cannonballs" everywhere.
Then, there were the sounds of throwing and splashing water.
"Snapped!"

A piece of mud hit the peddler's head.
He was beaten so hard that he was dizzy and choked on a mouthful of pond water.

He had no choice but to struggle and swim towards the center of the pond,

The team leader didn't expect this guy to die rather than surrender, and said angrily:

"Go down, some people, and catch him!"

People from Jiangnan are good at paddling.

Five or six people who were good at swimming took off their clothes and jumped into the pond.

Soon, the two sides were tangled in the water.
The peddler was too tired, and the Nanyun tuanding not only had more people, but also had a chance to catch his breath.

After swallowing several gulps of muddy water, he was dragged onto the bank of the pond.

Looking at the dying spy,

The captain jumped off his horse and stepped on the peddler's stomach.

"Fuck! You made me run so far. If you want to die, it won't be that easy!"

“Poof! Cough cough… cough cough…”

The peddler suddenly spit out a large mouthful of water, then coughed violently and rolled his eyes.
But the captain had a dark face and continued to torture without mercy.
Outside the village, the militiamen were catching spies with great fanfare.

Adults and children from Chihe Village came to watch after hearing the news.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, and kicked the team leader away.
"stop!"

This happened so suddenly that the team leader stumbled and fell into the rice field.
The villagers laughed fearlessly and ignorantly.

The angry captain,
He immediately stood up, drew out his sword, and pointed it at the heroic woman in the field.

"My little girl, you are tired of living... eh?"

Only then did he realize that the woman's appearance and clothing were very similar to the legendary ninth sister of the Zhu family.

"Tell me, where are you from?"

Even though his scout was tortured beyond recognition, at least he was still alive.

Judy stood up, took out her pistol, and sneered:

"I will not change my name when I walk, nor my surname when I sit.

I am Zhuxiantai, Zhu Jiu, so what?

You think you can fight me?"

The squad leader had never seen a pistol before, so he was naturally not afraid.
However, he was worried that

Given his status, it is impossible for him to come to Nanyun alone. He must have an accomplice.
But after looking around,
There were no soldiers or bodyguards around except the villagers.
In an instant, a huge ecstasy surged into my heart.

Haha, I caught a fat rabbit while raking grass!
They arrested Zhu Jiu and sent him to the No. 1 leader to ask for credit and reward, saying that he could not be promoted to deputy squadron leader.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the "flower mouth lure", not caring at all.

"Oh! It's Master Zhu Jiu.
You invaded Nanyun's territory without saying hello, come with me to the town..."

Judy raised the gun in her hand and warned the captain,
"I would like to go, but I'm afraid this thing won't agree!"

The team leader stepped forward with a grin on his face.

"What the hell did you do? Let me see..."

Just as he reached out to touch it, Judy lowered the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger steadily.

"Snapped!"

The captain was shocked, and the smile in his eyes froze before it faded away.

After about two seconds, he suddenly sat down, baring his teeth and roaring.

"Ah~~ My legs...ah, it hurts, it hurts so much!"

The soldiers were stunned and looked at the captain's legs. Unfortunately, the light was dim and they couldn't see clearly.
However, the captain had already thrown away his sword, hugged his thigh, roared and rolled over.

The team leader also had a confidant. When he saw the boss was injured, he roared like a tiger and rushed over.

Judy took a step back and fired a shot.
"Snapped!"

“Ah~Ahhh…it hurts, it hurts so much…”

The confidant hugged his stomach and rolled over as well.

Alas, my good brother, you really need to practice the spirit of "sharing difficulties together"!
Unpredictable and strange things happened one after another, and the Nanyun soldiers were all worried.

Judy supported her scout with one hand, held the gun with the other, and shouted:

"If you are not afraid of death, just come up!"

Seeing that the militiamen were still surrounding them, Judy pulled the trigger again.
"Snapped!"

"Ahhh!"

The unfortunate unknown person also lay down and wailed obediently.
Taken by the opponent's "secret weapon",
The Nanyun soldiers immediately stepped aside.
I watched helplessly as the other party took away the "prisoner" who was not even warm yet.

Lu Yuan followed Judy over.
Looking at this unexpected change, I can only sigh silently.
Although the soldiers were dejected, carrying the three wounded soldiers hurried away,

But he knew that the Nanyun militia would soon come back for revenge.
Revenge on whom?
It definitely wasn't Zhu Jiu, because she was about to return to Zhuxiantai.
Therefore, it can only be Chishui River's own home,

why?
Because the Shen family entertained Judy, which was a typical case of "collaborating with the enemy"...

In fact, Lu Yuan had no involvement in this matter at all.

But, for thousands of years,

When ordinary people talk to officials about reason, has anyone ever won?
How to do it?

Thirty-six Strategies: Running Away is the Best...

Move now!

He helped Judy and the peddler back home.
The village head also came upon hearing the news.

"Oh my! You really shouldn't have injured the militia. What should we do now?"

Judy helped the scout onto his horse and said:
"Sorry, we'll be leaving soon!"

The village head looked at Lu Yuan helplessly.
He is the ninth son of the Zhu family. He can leave at will. I am afraid your family will be in trouble...

Lu Yuan said:

"Mr. Nine, can my family and I come to your town and stay for a while?"

Judy was very happy.
At least, when Shen Beixuan was in trouble,
Being able to think of me at least means that the other person really regards me as a friend!
"No problem! Keep it on me!"

Lu Yuan said to the head of the village: "Let's go too!"

Shen's father and mother were preparing dinner.

Not knowing what happened, he asked in confusion: "Xuan Zi, what happened? Where are you going?"

Lu Yuan said: "Don't ask any more questions, pack up and leave now!"

"Hey! What's wrong with you, kid? What happened?"

While Lu Yuan was packing, he urged:

"Mom, hurry up, the militia is coming to kill us!"

"We didn't provoke them for no reason, why should we be beheaded..."

Lu Yuan could only say to his father:

"Dad, Mom, please trust your son for once, hurry up!
Don't worry, I'm on my way and will tell you everything!"

Seeing his son getting angry, Father Shen made a prompt decision.
"Mother, stop wasting time, pack up and leave!"

Shen Niang looked at the table full of dishes and said, "No matter how urgent it is, you have to eat..."

"Mom, what time is it? You're still thinking about food..."

Father Shen was smart. He took out his son's newly bought enamel basin.
I shook the water, then poured all the food into it.

“Take it with you and eat it while walking!”

After the head of the household spoke, Shen Niang finally shut up and quickly packed up.
Shen Danfeng listened to her eldest brother the most. She packed her own small bag first, and then helped her mother pack.

A quarter of an hour later, the four members of the Shen family followed Judy and moved to Zhuxiantai overnight.

Half an hour later, more than 20 cavalrymen from Nanyun Town rushed to Chihe Village.

The No. 1 leader grabbed the headman by the collar and asked angrily, "Where are the people?"

The village chief was so frightened that he stammered, "They ran away, all of them!"

"Why is Zhu Jiu in your village?!"

Looking at the blade on his neck, the governor explained the reason with a pale face.
"...The Shen family entertains guests every now and then...

How could I know that she was the daughter of the Zhu family, let alone that she would injure the militiamen...

Well, they left with the 'spy' for about half an hour..."

The No. 1 leader didn't trust him, so he took the village head to the Shen family.

Under the torchlight, the Shen family looked very messy. It was obvious that they left in a hurry.

The number one leader's face turned pale.
Suddenly he seized a torch and threw it onto the roof.
The thatch on the roof was dry to begin with and would catch fire easily.

The fire spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, smoke and flames rose. The Shen family's house was doomed to fail.

"Chase them! Chase them to the horizon and kill them to avenge our dead brothers!"

The squad leader who was shot in the leg is fine.

But the other two soldiers were shot in the chest and abdomen.

Due to the shortage of medical care and medicine in the town, and the delay in time, the patient could not be saved.

The military order is like a mountain!

The Nanyun Cavalry immediately rode their horses in pursuit of Zhuxiantai.
But after chasing for 25 minutes, the leader felt something was wrong.

"Is the direction correct?"

The militiaman leading the way swore and said he was right and that this was the shortest way.

Leader No. 1 frowned. He was also an old hand. He looked carefully at the ground and found no fresh horse hoof prints.

"No, they didn't take this road..."

Now, the leading soldier became confused.

"Did they deliberately take a detour?"

Leader No. 1 thought about it carefully and sorted it out again.
Suddenly, he understood.
"Let's go! To Sanchapu!"

He guessed right.

Chihe Village, Sanchapu and Zhuxiantai are in the shape of a bow.
The trident was placed on the back of the bow, almost half as close as Zhuxiantai.
For safety reasons, they will definitely go to Sanchapu first!
Otherwise, the cavalry would have caught up long ago, and wouldn't have wasted two quarters of an hour.

Now, if they change direction, they should be able to catch up...

However, the leader was a bit prudent and worried that the other party would escape separately.

He specifically ordered the two riders to continue chasing towards Zhuxiantai.
Lu Yuan, along with his family, Judy and the scouts, retreated to Sanchapu with all their strength.
However, Shen Niang was weak and her sister was young, so they couldn't walk fast.

After walking and stopping for a while, Lu Yuan found that there were six or seven spots of light behind him.

It seems that the cavalry from Nanyun Town is chasing us!
There are still three miles to go...what should I do?
Judy pulled out a pistol and said in a domineering tone: "I'm not leaving. Let's fight them!"

Lu Yuan felt it was unreliable.
The number of the other party was unknown, and there were only seven bullets in the gun.
It's pitch black, and you may not be able to hit it accurately.

"No! I'll hold them back, and you ride back to report the situation and bring reinforcements!"

Judy was stunned and asked, "Can you stop it?"

"Don't talk too much, hurry up! The sooner the better!"

The scout had recovered a little by now. He forced himself to get off the horse and said, "Master Nine, hurry up and go!"

Judy handed the flower-mouthed rubbing gun to Lu Yuan and said:
"If they chase you, pull the trigger to scare them and try to delay the time..."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and pointed at the panicked Shen Danfeng and said:

"Bring my little sister up here!"

Lu Yuan didn't waste any words and directly carried his sister up.
Judy said, "Hold my waist tight and don't let go!"

Shen Danfeng immediately folded her arms: "Yes!"

"drive!"

The warhorse carried the two men and galloped towards Sanchapu.

Lu Yuan looked at his parents and the scouts and said:

"Go away and hide in the ditch. No matter what, don't come out!"

The old lady said worriedly: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I will talk to them properly...

Let’s try to resolve it peacefully. If that doesn’t work, I can still run away. You guys leave quickly!”

Father Shen sighed. No one wants to be in trouble.
But now, I can only follow my son's advice.

He supported his wife and went down to the field with the scouts, moving forward in the darkness, one step at a time.

Soon, the Nanyun Cavalry came after them.
Lu Yuanda blocked the way and shouted to the other party:

"Is it Nanyun's militia?"

Seeing that there was only one person on the other side,
Leader No. 1 was afraid that the enemy had an ambush, so he sent his trusted members to test the enemy's strength.
The backbone did not dare to disobey the order, and rushed forward with torches.

"Zhu Jiu killed our people, hand over the criminal immediately!"

Lu Yuan sighed and explained:

“This matter is actually a misunderstanding…

It would be best if we could turn hostility into friendship, otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, many people will die..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't hand over the person, I'll chop you down!"

Lu Yuan showed his pistol and said:
"This, you heard about it?
A pistol is a small musket. If you are shot in the vital parts, there is no cure... You don't want to die, do you?"

The backbone was startled, looked at the flower-mouthed rubbing, and felt fear in his heart.
He licked his lips, turned his horse back, and reported to the No. 1 leader.
"Boss, what should I do?"

Leader No. 1 was jealous of Lu Yuan's pistol, so he said:
"He's alone, what are you afraid of?

Let's go together, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God...

Whoever kills him will be rewarded ten dollars! "

call!
All the cavalrymen were excited.

Being a militiaman is like putting your head on your belt.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. For ten dollars, I'll fight!
"Dry!"

"Kill him!"

Leader No. 1 was very satisfied and immediately encouraged them:
"Brothers, go for it! I am your strong backing!"

A dozen cavalrymen stamped their spurs,
The warhorse neighed and galloped towards the poor, weak and lonely Lu Yuan... (End of this chapter)
