Of course Man Bao couldn't hear it, she couldn't hear a sound until now, so she asked Ke Ke.
Koko: ...
Its original intention was to warn the host, telling them to run quickly, so as not to run into the danger of these people, but in the end they didn't run or said they would go to meet them.
Man Bao couldn't hear Keke's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but tilt his head, "Keke?"
Keke could only say: "There are six people running for their lives, and they are running to your left front. If they don't change direction, they will come straight and land not far in front of you."
"There is a small group of people chasing them, a total of eight people..." Keke expanded the scope of the scan, and then said: "There are also people who escaped in three directions, and there are two people in the direction of twelve o'clock and two in the direction of nine o'clock. , there are three people at seven o'clock."
Man Bao exclaimed, "There are so many people?"
Then ask: "Then what time is our direction?"
"Three o'clock."
"Oh," Man Bao has never been able to understand this, and she doesn't pay much attention to it. She prefers to talk about directions in front, back, left, and right, but she doesn't feel it when digging flowers and plants, but now she feels inconvenient.
Something flashed through Man Bao's mind, but it flashed too fast, she didn't catch the inspiration for a moment, she thought about it for a while, then she said to everyone: "Not far in front of us, there are six people rushing towards us. We got away and there were eight people chasing them."
As for those in other directions, she knew it was far away from them. Even if she wanted to save them, she knew she couldn't hear the movement so far away, so it's better to save these six people first.
Bai Erlang and the others didn't doubt it, thinking that she just tilted her head and quieted down to listen to something. They listened carefully again, but still couldn't hear anything, so they couldn't help but exclaim, "Your ears are so good?"
Nie Canjun rode forward, "Master Zhou, what's the matter?"
Nie Canjun has gotten used to their stopping from time to time, thinking that they were going into the mountain to dig some flowers and plants again, so he said generously: "Your Excellency, if you want to go into the mountain, go, bring a few more guards, Don't go too far, let's meet up ahead."
"No, we heard someone shouting for help," Man Bao said, "Someone must have encountered a horse thief, and we have to save him."
Nie Canjun immediately turned his head and asked the two yamen servants beside him, "Is there a bandit here?"
"Yes, our lord has suppressed them four times, and drove them away twice, but they came back later."
Nie Canjun immediately frowned and listened carefully. He didn't hear anything, so he looked at the scouts.
The scouts immediately left the team and rode forward, and disappeared in front of their eyes in a short while.
"My lord's safety is the most important thing. Since there are horse thieves, let's quit this section first."
Man Bao thought about it for a while and said: "Yes, sir is too old to be in danger. You can have your husband and Yin or escorted to the back, and we will take people to rescue them."
Nie Canjun: "My lord, this is a horse thief, very dangerous."
Man Bao said: "I know, if there are too many people, I won't go, the other party only has eight people, what are you afraid of?"
Daji will not talk about how many of them are good or not. Among them are the soldiers and horses led by Nie Canjun, and the generals of the Yin family. Each of them can chop each other into pieces with one knife.
Nie Canjun would like to ask how do you know there are only eight people
A scout quickly came back and reported: "Join the army, there are bandits in the mountains chasing five or six people towards us, and the leader is Master You."
Man Bao let out an "oops", "It turned out to be Mr. You? Hey, why is he so slow? Could it be that he was also in Liangzhou City two days ago? Then why didn't he come to us?"
Bai Shandao: "I'm afraid they were arrested a long time ago and only escaped now."
He said: "Stop talking nonsense, Lord Nie, please go forward and set up an ambush to rescue him. Make sure to catch those eight thieves and don't let them escape."
He said again: "We will be one step behind and defend, and nothing will happen."
Nie Canjun: "Be careful it's an ambush, in case it's a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain..."
Ke Ke said quietly: "There is no ambush, and there is no diverting the tiger away from the mountain, but if you don't rescue them, people will really run to the front, and those six people will also be chopped down."
Man Bao immediately said: "There is no ambush, haven't the scouts already approached to investigate? Master Nie, they are almost running to the side of the road, and it will be too late if they don't set up an ambush."
The scout couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Man, and whispered to Nie Canjun, "My lord, Mr. Zhou is right. We climbed up a tree to check. People should have come out soon."
Nie Canjun also made a decisive decision, turned around and ordered a group of ten people, and brought six guards from the Yin family, "You go, be sure to keep all the bandits behind."
"yes."
On the other hand, he looked left and right, and simply waved his hand back, making the rear team change to the front team and retreat, so as not to be ambushed by horse thieves.
Fortunately, they didn't go far into the path, and quickly retreated out.
Nie Canjun chose a place to stop temporarily, but put all his luggage in one place alone. Everyone was on alert immediately. If they really encountered a large number of horse thieves, they would just throw away their luggage and leave.
Knowing that there was no ambush, Man Bao took a few steps forward, and after waiting for a while, he felt a little bored, "Can't we go and see?"
Nie Canjun rejected her expressionlessly: "No."
Man Bao could only regret, "Okay."
"But there are also six horse thieves there, and three innocent people who are being chased. We have to rescue them?" Man Bao said, pointing to the road.
Nie Canjun frowned, "How does Master Zhou know?"
"I heard someone yelling for help."
Nie Canjun became more vigilant, "No, how do you know it's not a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? They may have this idea to lure the guards away quietly, and then they can take you down in one fell swoop."
If it weren't for Keke, Man Bao would have believed in Nie Canjun's judgment.
Man Bao said with a serious face: "I heard that there is no ambush nearby. Nie Canjun, you believe me."
Nie Canjun opened his mouth. Zhou Man could hear the movement from such a long distance just now. It was impossible to say that he didn't believe it, but he didn't think it was worth the risk.
Bai Shan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said seriously: "Nie Canjun, don't say that these robbed people are people we know, they are not, they are also the people of my Dajin, as officers and soldiers, we should protect them Yes, it’s okay if you don’t know, how can you turn a blind eye when you see it?”
Nie Canjun said with a cold expression: "The duty of the lower officials is to protect Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhuang and you young masters. Everything is based on this."
Bai Shan said approvingly: "That's true, but I'm not in danger right now, and I have the power to protect myself. If I can save someone, I have to save someone, not to mention..."
Bai Shan squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain and said: "Master You's caravan brought a lot of goods, and they should have been robbed at this time. These horse thieves ambushed here must have robbed passing merchants. How many good things have been hidden, if we can help Governor Duan wipe them out, not only can we clear the roads, but also solve the urgent need of Liangzhou City, and Nie Canjun has also made military achievements, why not do it?"
Nie Canjun raised his eyebrows and his heart beat.
