Chapter 3 Who's Saved

Lu Hong suddenly killed the bandit leader Ma Heizi and Bald Head. Except for the woman who fainted, they were all overjoyed. The bandits were about to silence the moment, but they didn't expect that the saviors would come, and they all whimpered in their mouths, hoping to untie their rope.

However, Lu Hong was extremely awake at this moment. He had counted clearly before. There were thirteen or fourteen people in Ma Heizi. Now, 5 of them were killed. There were also tickets climbing up the mountain behind to catch the escaped entourage and coachman. He didn't want to be attacked by anyone.

He picked up the short knife on the ground, picked up the hemp rope on the wrist of the short-bearded middle-aged man, made a gesture to him, and whispered: "Go untie their rope. All three of you pick up the knife. You can drive away the remaining bandits to survive. Otherwise, they will sooner or later catch up with you, do you understand?"

The middle-aged man loosened his wrist and immediately took out the rag from his mouth. He was overjoyed to escape from death. He nodded vigorously, without saying a word, quickly picked up the short knife on the ground to untie the ropes of the other people. Lu Hong had no hope for the three of them. He was about to drag the corpse leader Ma Heizi and the bald head into the woods and ambush another bandit, and suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the forest.

Now the middle-aged man with short beard and two followers, although they were holding a shaky short knife in their hands, their hands and feet began to tremble and were completely out of control, not to mention the woman and the little girl on the ground. The few of them wanted to run away, but they seemed to be unable to take any steps at this moment... The only motivation to support them standing there was the calm figure in front of them.

Lu Hong did not hesitate at this moment. He removed the magazine that had knocked out a few rounds of bullets and replaced it with a brand new 20 round magazine. His empty left hand also replaced it with a military dagger. After his body moved, he had already flashed to a short fir tree, and he was focused on the direction of the bandit's voice...

It is obvious that you can't turn around and leave at this moment. That will arouse the ferocity of the bandits and may be surrounded by a group of people outside in the woods. For me, it would be better to fight head-on in this open space and completely destroy the opponent!

"That short guy ran so fast, and my legs were sore after chasing him! Grandma, a bear... In the end, I was killed by three or six holes!"

"Brother Ergou, your sword is so fierce. You almost cut that guy into two pieces..."

"Hahaha……"

The bandits were yelling and scolding from outside. The short-bearded man standing beside Lu Hong was trembling all over his body... In an instant, eight or nine bandits swayed in. The man with buck-toothed smoke ghost in the lead was still yelling, "Brother, all the ideas..."

However, when the words came here, a group of bandits stared at the ground in amazement, with four legs facing the sky, and bloody holes on their bodies. The boss they had always respected was obviously dead and could not die anymore...

Bang...bang...bang...bang...dolent gunshots rang out in a hurry!

Ah...ah...ah...ah...

"There are foreign guns...hehe..."

"Brother is dead...there are officers and soldiers..."

There was a chaos in the scene. Lu Hong stood behind the tree and shot the target with a fixed rapid fire. At a distance of less than 11 or 2 meters, the hit rate was really impressive. When the bandits came in, he fired a rapid fire. In fact, in just seven or eight seconds, after half a magazine bullet flew out, five or six lying down on the ground. The remaining two or three people were already scared and rushed out of the forest with their backs.

They obviously wanted to run out to ride a horse, but this was definitely a fatal mistake... If they rush into the forest at this moment, Lu Hong would have to consider whether to pursue it. After all, there was no need to take such risks when the victory was decided. However, since these bandits were seeking death, he immediately followed quickly, and then, a few calm gunfire sounds came from outside the forest.

After a while, Lu Hong grabbed the man with buck teeth and smoke, and walked into the forest. This guy looked like an old bandit. They had done many evil things in burning and killing **. However, after seeing that his men were killed by the man in front of him alone, Buck teeth had never seen such a powerful killing god. He knew that his life could not escape, so he immediately became scared and collapsed to the ground.

In the previous battle, the expressions of the square-faced and short-bearded man and the two followers were almost exactly the same as those of the ambushed bandits. Anyway, they only stood there with a short knife from beginning to end. However, after Lu Hong killed a few escaped bandits, he found that the three of them were already dealing with the corpses on the ground. All of this was obviously under the command of the short-bearded man!

Seeing Lu Hong come in, the man with square face and short beard quickly dropped his bloody short knife, waved his hand and took a few people to quickly step up, pounced on the ground and gave a big respectful gift, and said loudly: "Qin Tianmin, a student in Xiafei County, thank you for your life-saving kindness! How dare you ask your benefactor Gao's name?"

Lu Hong was also very curious. He could see clearly this guy's appearance just now, but it was obvious that this guy had recovered from calmness at this moment, which was quite beyond his expectations. Now Qin Tianmin's appearance made him see some signs at a glance. The demeanor on this guy was definitely not like an ordinary scholar... This immediately aroused his curiosity a little!

"I'm in Lu Hong, I just returned from studying abroad not long ago," Lu Hong replied with a smile. Naturally, there is nothing to hide his name. As for the background of studying abroad, it was not tailor-made for time travelers. He waved his hand and asked them to get up and talk. The men and women knelt on the ground and talked to him, and they were somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, at the beginning, he didn't understand what this guy said about the "Fei County License Student". After thinking about it, he remembered that this so-called License Student was a scholar and tribute student of this era, and he had first-class high school entrance examination scores in prefectures and counties, so he was called License Student... It seems that the guy he saved was also a innocent scholar, but soon... he will know that he seemed to have thought it was wrong!

And seeing the demeanor this guy shows from time to time, he is definitely not a scholar who is just a fame and fortune!

Qin Tianmin was obviously a little surprised when he heard Lu Hong report his origin, but it seemed to confirm his previous thoughts. His benefactor and his skill in killing thieves were absolutely horrifying... Although he was dressed a little ordinary, his demeanor, behavior, and conversation were obviously an ordinary military man, and his identity as an overseas study tour was quite consistent.

Besides, I know exactly what the officers and soldiers of the government look like. Those who collect taxes and grain and eat food in the yamen are all experts. When it comes to catching thieves and fighting bandits, eating public food, and getting brave wages, they are all more than pigs.

Now it is no longer the Qing Dynasty, which was closed to the country decades ago. The Westernization Movement began vigorously for nearly 30 years. He had drunk foreign ink, and even in the officialdom, he was a talent that senior bureaucrats were willing to recruit! Qin Tianmin naturally knew this... Thinking of this, he had a little thought.

"My benefactor, I wonder where you are going to go this time?" Qin Tianmin had regained his calm and elegant temperament at this moment, and asked respectfully.

Lu Hong looked at this guy. According to his plan, he didn't mean to stay in Mengyin or Yizhou for more. He was waiting for him to discover the Ten Miles of Shanghai... However, it seems that Qin Tianmin has some background, at least he is a wealthy family. Although it is also a way to protect himself, he should have collected some interest if he saves this guy...

Lu Hong responded casually: "Young Master Qin, I'm just traveling around this time. I may have to go to Shanghai for a while!"

When Qin Tianmin heard this, he was secretly happy and hurriedly lowered his head and asked respectfully: "Mr. I am still two days away from Fei County. My benefactor's life-saving grace cannot be rewarded. Tianmin dared to invite my benefactor to accompany me and stay at the humble house in Fei County for a few days!"

Lu Hong frowned. How could he not hear Qin Tianmin's little thoughts? There were more than a dozen people in their group, killing Ma Heizi and his gang. The few who escaped into the woods probably lost their lives. This guy brought his female relatives and now there are only two useless entourages left. He asked himself to visit his house. Obviously, it was not just to repay his kindness...

Seeing Lu Hong's thoughtful expression, Qin Tianmin obviously realized that his little thoughts were noticed, and he quickly explained respectfully: "My benefactor, I'm going to tell you that there is not much financial resources all the way. If you are a benefactor, you are in a hurry to get on the road and wait for Mengyin County ahead and I will sell the carriage, so I can give you some thoughts!"

Qin Tianmin was quite interesting. He was observing his words and expressions and was able to speak well. He said this. Lu Hong was quite surprised by this guy's performance. He could see that what he said was the truth. If he really didn't go, he would let others sell the carriage and walk home... To be honest, he would rather choose to ride on the road in the carriage! He no longer refused and nodded.

Qin Tianmin's performance next made Lu Hong know this scholar a little more. Although he was scared to death by these bandits before, Lu Hong was in charge. He began to direct two followers to tie the big buck-toothed bandit tightly, and then dragged the other dead bandits into the woods. Then he did not forget to bring the two followers to gather all the horses scattered outside, and finally tied the body of the bandit leader Heizi on a horse's back.

Under his command, these things were quickly settled. Later, he ran over to report to Lu Hong, who was interrogating the big buck teeth, "My benefactor, these horses can be replaced with cash when they arrive in Mengyin. This bandit leader, Ma Heizi, is a bandit who was procured by Jinan Prefecture to receive rewards directly from Mengyin County. If the benefactor doesn't like the activities in this yamen, I will do this for you!"

I have to say that Qin Tianmin's style of doing things is very similar to Lu Hong's appetite. He bowed and smiled: "Young Master Qin, I really don't understand these official rules until I'm down. I'm afraid I'll bother you!"

He had just interrogated Dabiaoya and confirmed that the group of bandits were indeed Ma Heizi, the leader of the bandit in Shangyang Mountain. However, Dabiaoya also confessed that there were 100 people in the bandit camp in Shangyang Mountain. In addition to the bandit leader Ma Heizi, there were also the second leader Liu Yidao and the third leader Hu Datou. This time, Ma Heizi met with a good friend in Qingzhou and took over the deal. Unexpectedly, he spent his life here!

However, Lu Hong was not interested in the local bandits. He turned around and confirmed that no other bandits would come to pick him up. He immediately called Qin Tianmin to leave quickly. Later, Qin Tianmin sent a small package respectfully, which were some silver and property found from the bandits. Obviously, these things should belong to Lu Hong.

He looked a little and found that there were seven or eight silver ingots of all sizes, as well as dozens of silver dollars with eagle patterns printed on them... Lu Hong's knowledge of this era also came from the Internet of books and later generations, but he immediately recognized it. This thing should be Yingyang!

In the afternoon, I had already seen the walls of Mengyin County from afar, and the city obviously saw the noise of the horse team here. Seven or eight yamen runners and the captain came to ask from a distance.

Lu Hong also saw those white and fat constables in the distance, and asked him to deal with these individuals. He was absolutely uninterested! Qin Tianmin did not bother him about these things, so he took his followers to greet him from afar. Lu Hong jumped out of the carriage and stretched his legs. From afar, he saw that this guy seemed to take out something for the headmaster to see. These aggressive officials who came over actually restrained their power, talked and laughed around the guy, and his attitude was very respectful.

This made Lu Hong a little curious about what Qin Tianmin came from...
