Early in the morning, after a hasty dry biscuit to fill their stomachs, the army divided into two groups. With Xiao Qian in the lead, they headed towards the south while Chen Biao led the other group back to the capital.
"Little Qian, I might not be able to accompany you all the way to Jiangnan …" Ling Xiao rode close to Xiao Qian on her horse.
"I have some things to do."
"Yes." She gave Ling Xiao a shallow glance. It would be more convenient with him around, but she could not force him to stay.
"When are you leaving?"
"I'll send you out of the city." Ling Xiao said with some worry,
"You have to be careful on the way. I don't know what will come to find you again."
"I will take good care of myself, don't worry!"
"Good!" I believe in you! " Ling Xiao also said with a smile.
Time slowly passed. It was around five in the afternoon when the sound of the horse's hooves striking against the ground could be heard. Ling Xiao had also been outside the city when she bid her farewells.
"Miss, the buyer is back." When Liu Yue saw the fireworks Liu Qing used to send messages, she rode her horse to his side and said softly.
"How many more can catch up to us?"
"They'll be able to catch up to us in fifteen minutes."
He raised his head to look at the sky.
"It's still not too late. We can slow down a bit, and wait as we go."
"Yes sir!" But before Liu Yue could finish her sentence, a rough male voice rang out.
"All of you, stop! "I am the one who planted this tree, I am the one who opened this road. If you want to pass this road, leave behind the money to buy the way!"
The man was carrying a large knife in one hand and stretching out his other hand as if he was waiting for someone to pass the money to him.
Seeing that there was someone blocking the way, Liu Feng rode a horse over to stand guard. Liu Yue immediately drew her sword from her waist and pointed at that person.
"Hahahaha..." You guys dare to come here, but you don't know who you are going to ask around? " The man threw his head back and laughed. He raised the blade on his shoulder and pointed it at Liu Yue.
"Go and leave the things in the car."
"I won't!" Liu Yue sneered in reply.
"No?" Brothers, come out! " The moment that person finished speaking, the surrounding people began to chatter. In almost an instant, over a hundred of them had been surrounded.
"How about it, do you want to hand it in or not?" That person directly threw away the blade in his hand and clapped his hands. Then, he sat down on a rock on the side of the road and crossed his legs.
"I don't have that much time to consider it."
"..." Everyone was looking at him with a dark expression, while his bandit brothers were unperturbed. The boss always doesn't play his cards according to common sense, so what can we do?
Liu Yue turned her head to look at Qian Chao with an angry expression.
"Miss, allow this subordinate to meet him! "Let's see what kind of ability he has to be able to pull it so far."
After shallowly hearing Liu Yue's words, she gently held Liu Yue's hand and strongly pressed it. Using her eyes, she indicated for Liu Yue to look at Lieutenant General Li.
Liu Feng also looked at Liu Yue with disapproval. Liu Yue was too impulsive. No matter what status the Lady has, she doesn't have the right to speak to someone before them. Moreover, she encountered such a situation. Let Lieutenant General Li say better.
At this moment, Vice General Li's heart was filled with joy, because someone was leading the charge himself. It would be best if those bandits were chased away.
However, since Liu Yue was suppressed to the point where she didn't dare to move, and since everyone was waiting for Vice General Li to solve the problem, Vice General Li who was hiding in the back had no choice but to come out and shout loudly.
"We are the army sent by the imperial government to deliver food for the disaster! If you take them away today, it would be equivalent to going against the imperial government, which will never let you off! "
When shallow shallowly heard the words of Lieutenant General Li, she thought to herself, 'F * ck, idiots like you come in groups!'
As expected — —
"Oh? Court? A calamity silver? " When Lin Jin heard that it was the calamity silver, he leaped up from the stone and stared at Lieutenant General Li with glowing eyes.
"The silver disaster is good!" With this money, we'll be able to get along for at least two months! "
"Hurry, hurry! Leave your things behind, we need to leave now!"
"Did you hear that?! "If you keep on yelling, then leave quickly! Stop wasting your time!" The bandit had pointed to something and shouted.
"Are you really going against the imperial government?" Vice General Li was starting to lose some of his confidence.
"Court? If I was afraid of the court, I wouldn't be a bandit! "Foolish guy, hahahaha …" Lin Jin pointed at Vice General Li and laughed.
"Hahahaha..." The other bandits also laughed.
"Hurry up and leave!" Lin Jin waved his hand as if he was shooing away flies.
"Since that's the case, we won't stand on formalities then!" Vice General Li said angrily,
"Team One!"
"Here!" A troop of soldiers immediately responded.
"Team two!"
"Here!" "Yes," the other soldier answered.
"Set up a battle formation!" Lieutenant General Li waved his hand and said.
The soldiers set up a battle formation. Two groups of soldiers, one group outside, were engaged the bandits' swords and spears while the other group was outside, ready to attack at any time.
As for Drifting Water and Liu Feng, they were at the center of the army.
Ever since Lin Jin came out, Qian Qian had been observing him. His martial arts must be very powerful, including his brothers, because before he and his brothers came out, Qian Chao and Liu Feng and Li Zhong didn't notice anything amiss. His sloppy attitude made it even harder for others to guess. As such, Drifting Water didn't move an inch and instead observed him from the angle of a bystander.
"Brothers, if they refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit, then what do we do?!" Lin Jin picked up his knife again and asked loudly.
"Kill!" the bandits shouted in unison.
"What else?"
"Snatch!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" "Go on!"
"Charge!"
The soldiers were all in battle positions, waiting for the bandits to charge at them. However, when the bandits rushed in front of them, they couldn't muster up any strength, so they were completely limp.
The moment the bandits rushed to the front of the soldiers, all the soldiers collapsed. Even Lieutenant General Li fell from his horse.
As she listened to the bandits shout, she smelled a strange fragrance and reflexively held her breath, so she did not faint.
Liu Feng, Liu Yue, and Li Zhong, after using their inner force to support themselves for a while, collapsed as well.
There were only bandits and shallow people left.
"Eh? "Why didn't you faint?" Seeing another person standing there, Lin Jin walked over curiously. She circled around him, sizing him up from head to toe, as if trying to see what was so special about him.
"Tsk tsk … It's dry and not pretty at all. "
"Hey, little girl, why didn't you faint?" Lin Jin asked curiously.
"Why should I faint?" A faint smile returned the question.
"Because …" Before Lin Jin could finish his words, his brother shouted,
"Big brother! Brother! "Oh no!"
"What is it?"
"The silver taels are fake!" These boxes are filled with stones! "
"What?!"
Lin Jin no longer paid any attention to him and dashed over to see that the chests of his lackeys were filled with stones. He opened one of the chests in disbelief, and found that it was still filled with stones.
After hearing the little brother's words, Qian Chao quickly followed him and checked the boxes one by one. The inside of the boxes were really full of stones!
"Bastard!" You actually dared to mess with us? " Lin Jin said angrily as she slapped the car that was transporting the silver. And the car, was destroyed.
He ignored Lin Jin and stared blankly at the stones.
She already understood that this was the Emperor's scheme. He was using himself to attract everyone's attention. He then secretly gave out the silver, which he used as a rake. Moreover, by doing this, he was obviously not trusting his abilities. Other than using him as a rake, did he have any other intentions? Then why did he make such a promise?
"Hey!" Hey! I'm talking to you?! " Lin Jin waved the blade in front of Qian Chao, waking Qian Chao up.
"Speak!" How are we going to settle the debt of teasing us?! "
