Chapter 156： what if i don't

Chapter 156 What if I don’t

Because it was Chen Shi in the morning and the sky had just dawned, there were no people on the road.

Some of them are only sold early in the morning.

After a group of eight people left the city gate, they rode horses along the official road and started galloping.

After walking for more than half a day, Cao Ying called to stop.

"How are you, are you tired?"

Cao Ying got off the horse and said to Qiao Yi.

"Not tired."

Joy shook his head. He had only ridden for half a day, so he was really not tired.

"Sister Qiao, my sister is still taking care of you, otherwise we can rest after a day of crazy riding."

Cao Man sat straight on the ground and began to eat dry food.

Although I am not very hungry, it is good to add some energy.

"Save some food, don't eat up the dry food before the time comes."

Cao Ying glared at Cao Man.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll just eat a little."

Cao Man said nonchalantly.

"You don't have to take care of us, you can go as you want."

"Okay, let's go quickly, the dart this time is very important, and there is no room for mistakes."

After hearing what Qiao Yi said, Cao Ying no longer cared whether Qiao Yi and Jiu'er would be tired.

After resting for less than a stick of incense, several people started on the road again.

A few days later, when they were only two days away from Ji'an Mansion, they finally encountered bandits.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you should leave money to buy roads."

Joy: "..."

She didn't expect this bandit to be so second-guess.

She really wanted to know if all the bandits were like this, the first sentence at the beginning was this.

"Cao Ying, chief **** of Fengshun Escort Bureau, please make it easier for you to pass by here."

Cao Yinglang said, and then threw a bulging purse over.

Although their Fengshun Escort Agency is not particularly famous, they are still very famous in the ten miles and eight villages around here.

This group of bandits have to think carefully if they want to do something.

Received the purse and weighed it in his hand.

I saw that the bandit leader, who was still smiling, suddenly changed his face.

"We give you convenience, who will give us convenience?"

Cao Ying frowned upon hearing this. It was a hundred taels of silver, and these bandits were not satisfied.

But she is also not easy to get along with, she has shown weakness, and as a result, these bandits are shameless.

"So you won't allow this way?"

"It's not impossible to make way, as you can see, our family has a big business, a mere one hundred taels, such a small amount of money is not enough for us to drink."

One hundred taels is not enough for a meal?

The angry Cao Man wanted to scold his mother.

Joy frowned. She felt that the purpose of this group of people was not pure.

But it remains to be seen.

But one thing can be confirmed, it may be a bit difficult to pass here today.

There are dangerous mountains ahead, and there is only one way to go. If you take a detour, it will take at least ten days longer.

Neither Qiao Yi nor Cao Ying can afford to delay these ten days.

"Jiu'er, if something happens later, you should run back quickly. We will meet at the previous fork."

"If I don't leave, I will be where the wife is."

"Be obedient."

Qiao Yi is helpless, why is this Jiuer so disobedient?

"Some things should be done in moderation. If you really start to fight, it will not end well for you and me."

Cao Ying frowned. It's not like she hasn't dealt with the bandits nearby. She used to be able to pass by without a hitch.

Today she saw this group of people face to face, so she only gave one hundred taels.

"They are not doing it for money, one hundred taels is enough to make people tempted, but I don't see any greed in their eyes. I guess they are drunkards who don't care about drinking."

Joy said softly.

"I see, they probably came for this batch of goods."

Cao Ying nodded, she was not stupid, from the attitude of the other party, she understood what was going on.

"There are only eight of you, and there are two men who are powerless, and a woman with delicate skin and tender flesh. Do you think that with your small number of people, you will be opponents of dozens of us?"

"How do you know if we can do it if you don't try it?"

Joy: "..."

Cao Ying's words sounded so awkward to her.

She remembered that she seemed to have said it too, but was it about Mu Xuan or who?

"Get the stuff out and we'll let you go."

The bandit leader had run out of patience.

The man in black told her that as long as they robbed this batch of goods, they would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

Now that she has seen it, she doesn't need to pretend anymore.

"The goods are in the people."

Cao Ying took out the big knife that had been kept in the scabbard.

Cao Man took out a whip.

Seeing this, Qiao Yi also took out a dagger from his arms.

Seriously, let her kill ducks and rabbits, she can do it.

But let her fight and kill, sorry she really can't do it.

The reason why he took out the dagger was entirely for self-protection.

Jiu'er glanced at the spear and stick held by the opponent, then at the palm-sized dagger in Qiaoyi's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

With such a small dagger, self-protection is a problem, okay?

This is not playing tricks.

Thinking of this, Jiu'er touched the belt around his waist.

I hope he won't use a soft sword.

He just wants to be a man who is powerless.

"So you don't want to hand over this thing? Come on, don't keep one, and leave as soon as you find it."

"Yes."

"Cao Man, take Qiao Yi and the others with you, we are the rear."

Seeing this, Cao Ying immediately called Cao Man to leave.

"We can't go, we are surrounded."

Cao Man turned his head and saw that there were people all around them.

"In this case, let's rush forward and make a hole. Zhao Wu and Liu Mei, you two protect Qiao Yi and the others."

Cao Ying calmly ordered.

"There is no need to protect us. Their goal is the darts you escorted this time. We are relatively safe."

Qiao Yi rejected Cao Ying's offer.

From their conversation, it can be heard that the purpose of these bandits is not her.

"That's okay, I will break through as soon as I find an opportunity, and then we will meet at Tianxiang Restaurant in Ji'an Prefecture."

Speaking of other places, Cao Ying was afraid that Qiao Yi would not be found, so he mentioned the most iconic restaurant.

"Um."

Joy nodded, then clenched the dagger in his hand.

At this time, the bandit on the opposite side had already rushed over, and the group of people immediately fought into a ball.

Qiaoyi originally wanted to take Jiu'er to take advantage of the chaos and escape from the battle circle.

Unexpectedly, five people were targeting her, and there was a masked person in Heizi among them.

However, she felt that this black-clothed masked man looked very familiar.

"Don't stare at me, I don't have what you want on me."

"I know."

"I know you are still around me... who are you? We must know each other, right? Or we have met."

Joy looked at the man in black warily.

She must know this person, or have met and spoken to him.

She still has this memory, otherwise it would be impossible to feel familiar with this person.

"We have met before, so it should be regarded as acquaintance."

Hearing what Joey said, the man in black was very happy.

"who are you?"

At this moment, Qiao Yi's mind was turning a thousand times, but after thinking about it for a long time, he just couldn't figure out who this person was.

"You will know in a while. I don't want to hurt you. Please come with me."

"What if I don't?"
