They didn't have time to feel too much.
"Walk!"
With Zhou Dacheng's simple order, they divided into two groups, two guards stayed behind to guard the carriage, and the others quickly went up the back mountain.
There were three remaining bandits.
For Zhou Dacheng and others, it was nothing more than a breeze.
In less than an incense stick of time, Lily went down the mountain to report to Nangong Yue: "Concubine Shizi, the gangsters have all been killed." She swallowed, and continued, "They really want to blow up the mountain, and the explosives on the mountain have already been filled. It's seven or eight, if we stay a little longer at night, they ignite the fuse, the consequences will be unimaginable... "
Half of this back mountain will probably be blown up. At that time, the sky will shake, and countless rocks will fall... No human power can stop it!
Lily made up her mind: "Zhou Dacheng said that he will 'dispose' of those explosives, and he will come down to report to you soon."
As for how those men planned to "dispose" of the explosives, Lily didn't want to mention a word.
The corner of her mouth twitched, her eyes showing disgust.
At this moment, thick smoke suddenly ignited in the direction of the back mountain, flew up into the sky, and then exploded like fireworks.
This is a flare!
Oops! The hearts of everyone at the foot of the mountain sank, Lily frowned, and blurted out: "How come, we have dealt with those three people!" As she spoke, her complexion was as gloomy as dark clouds filled the sky, and she suddenly understood.
There should be other people on the back mountain. Due to time constraints, their actions were still not comprehensive enough, so that some fish slipped through the net.
"Concubine Shizi, we must leave here as soon as possible..." Lu Hu clasped his fists eagerly.
I don't know how many gangsters there are in that group. The Princess Concubine doesn't know martial arts, so it's too dangerous to stay.
In the words, Zhou Dacheng and the others also hurried down the mountain. At this time, he didn't care about the ins and outs, Xiao Ying said directly: "Shi Zifei, Ah An sent a message to my subordinates. There are nearly a hundred people on the other side. We have to leave immediately. .”
If there are twenty or thirty people, or even fifty people, they are confident that they can take them all, but if the opponent has a hundred people, it means that they need to fight ten against one. If one is not careful, they will be entangled by the opponent's crowd tactics. If there is something wrong with the imperial concubine because of the lack of ability to clone, then how will he and Xiao An explain to the imperial concubine!
Nangong Yue naturally knew this truth, and ordered decisively: "Retreat!"
Everyone hurriedly ran to the village again, then got on their horses, rode away, and a cloud of dust flew up under the horses' hooves.
A group of people returned the same way they came, and they also hoped that they would meet the reinforcements brought by Chen Bei on the way back.
Tread Tread...
After traveling like this for five or six miles, Lu Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the rear was empty. He galloped his horse and said, "Master Zhou, they didn't catch up. It seems we should get rid of them."
But Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu couldn't be so optimistic, it seemed too easy.
Unless the opponent doesn't have a horse, how could he lose it so easily!
Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu looked at each other quickly, with a faint feeling of unreliability in their hearts.
Zhou Daguo shouted resolutely: "Everyone, don't relax, hurry back to the post station!"
"yes!"
Everyone waved their whips, and the horse neighed and galloped even faster.
But that ominous premonition experience!
Suddenly, dozens of horses galloped out from a small path in front of them, standing in a square formation like robbers blocking the way of Nangong Yue and the others.
Half of these knights on horseback were dressed in the costumes of government servants, and the other half wore iron armor. All of them were big and thick, and it seemed that the visitors were not friendly.
Oops!
Everyone subconsciously slowed down their horses, and Zhou Dacheng wanted to turn around, but there were another forty or fifty horses blocking them tens of feet behind them, and nearly a hundred horses blocked them back and forth in the blink of an eye. middle.
There are wolves in front and tigers in back.
Everyone looked solemn, and hurriedly put Nangong Yue in the center.
Mo Xiuyu rode his horse and took a few steps forward, then clasped his fists with a smile, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "The servants are working on errands, why do you block our way?" The captain, at a glance, knew that the armor worn by the half of them was definitely not the armor of the Southern Border Army, that is to say, it was the private soldier raised by the magistrate Yu!
This County Magistrate Yu is so courageous that he even dares to raise private soldiers!
From this point of view, it wasn't that the magistrate Yu was motivated by money, but that he had been rampant and lawless in Gangping County for a long time, so he dared to slaughter the people in a village!
Zhou Dacheng whispered something in Nangong Yue's ear, and Nangong Yue understood, her expression was as cold as ice.
Among the fifty or so people directly in front, the leader was a burly man in his thirties with a Chinese face, he seemed to be the leader of the gang of yamen servants.
"You still want to play dumb?!" The group leader glared, and said in a low voice with disdain, "Gangping Town is our territory for dozens of miles. Do you think you can escape?" All the paths and shortcuts in this area, they It was all clear, how could these outsiders outrun them.
He snorted coldly, and asked sharply, "Who are you guys? How dare you murder officials!"
When the team leader thought of the corpses they saw at the foot of the mountain, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were like lightning, looking at these strangers who came out of nowhere.
These people murdered so neatly, obviously they were not ordinary people, maybe they were officials or the children of wealthy families went out to play with a group of guards... The question is, how much do these people know
No! No matter how much these people know, you can't let them go!
Whether it is the lives of nearly a hundred people in that village or the silver mine, it is of great importance. If they are not handled carefully, all of them will die without a place to bury them.
These people must die!
The team leader narrowed his cloudy eyes dangerously, and the killing intent was already in his heart, which was released without any concealment.
His eyes immediately locked on Nangong Yue who was protected by everyone in the center, and he saw at a glance that this young man with delicate skin and tender flesh was obviously the master of this group of people, and he looked like a delicate person with no strength to restrain a chicken Son, since these guards want to protect the master's safety, then this young master must become the weakest link among them. Maybe use this person as a breaking point.
Of course, Mo Xiuyu didn't expect to be able to fool around easily, he just wanted to try to delay the time, and hoped that Chen Bei could lead his troops to arrive as soon as possible...
He drove the horse to take a few more steps without any trace, blocked Nangong Yue behind him, and continued to pretend to be stupid with a smile: "This poor man, Cao Min and his party just happened to pass by here, how could they murder the official poor? The poor man is Didn't you find the wrong person?"
After all, it is necessary to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots. The team leader does not intend to continue to gossip with this group of people. With a wave of his big arm, he ordered fiercely: "Brothers, take them down! First catch their master!"
"yes!"
The yamen servants and private soldiers at the front and back all responded, leaving seven or eight people at the two ends to block the front and back paths, while the others pulled out the long knives around their waists and rushed towards Nangong Yue and his party.
The sound of horseshoes, shouts and swords being drawn intertwined together, weaving into a murderous web.
Baihui and Baihe guarded Nangong Yue on the left and right, looking around vigilantly.
Under Zhou Dacheng's signal, a group of guards such as Ren Zinan and Lu Hu stood guard at the front and back respectively, and all drew their sabers with serious expressions.
Although Nangong Yue is not familiar with martial arts, she has seen the world. There is no timidity on her face. She holds a stiff rope in her hand and looks calm.
Now that there was nothing to talk about, Mo Xiuyu didn't talk nonsense, his expression changed from laughing to serious in an instant, he clamped his horse's belly, and rode up. Although he was young, he was already battle-tested, and he was used to fighting on horseback, and he swung his knife at a rushing yamen servant neatly.
Zheng!
The opponent also returned a knife, and the blade collided with each other, sparks shot out.
The corner of Mo Xiuyu's mouth curled into a sneer, he kicked the opponent off the horse suddenly, the man screamed in horror, he fell downside down, but one foot was still hanging on the stirrup and was dragged by the horse After several feet away, the screams could be heard endlessly.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped down from a big tree by the side of the road, his movement was extremely fast, as light as a cat, and as strange as a charm, a dazzling silver light shone in the hand of the black figure, and he rushed towards the leader of the team. chop off his neck.
In mid-air, the blade was sharp, and the cold light was shining, looking a little creepy.
