Of course Manbao couldn't hear it. She still couldn't hear a sound, so she asked Keke.
Keke:……
Its original intention was to give the host a warning, asking them to run quickly to avoid the danger of running into these people. As a result, they didn't run away and even had to confront them.
Manbao couldn't hear Keke's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but tilted his head, "Koko?"
Keke could only say: "There are six people running for their lives. They are running towards 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, eight people in total..." Keke expanded the scope of the scan, and then said: "There are also people running for their lives in three directions, two at twelve o'clock and two at nine o'clock.
Personally, there are three people at seven o'clock."
Man Bao exclaimed, "There are so many people?"
Then he asked: "What time is our direction?"
"Three o'clock."
"Oh," Man Bao has never understood this, and she doesn't pay much attention. She prefers to tell directions from front to back, left and right, but she doesn't think so when digging for flowers and plants. Now she feels inconvenient.
Something flashed through Manbao's mind, but it flashed so fast that she couldn't catch the inspiration. She thought about it for a moment and then said to everyone: "Not far in front of us, there are six people rushing towards us."
We escaped, and eight people were chasing them."
As for the people in other directions, she knew they were far away from them. Even if she wanted to save them, she knew she couldn't hear the noise from such a distance, so she had to save these six people first.
Bai Erlang and others did not suspect it, thinking that she was listening for the sound when she tilted her head and became quiet. They listened carefully again, but still couldn't hear anything, so they couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your ears are so good?"
Nie Canjun rode up and asked, "Master Zhou, what's wrong?"
Nie Canjun was used to their behavior of stopping from time to time. He thought they were going into the mountain to dig up some flowers and plants. He said generously: "If you want to go into the mountain, go ahead and bring more guards."
Don’t go too far, we can meet at the front.”
"No, we heard people shouting for help," Man Bao said, "Someone must have encountered a horse thief, and we have to save them."
Nie Canjun immediately turned around and asked the two government officials on the side, "Are there bandits here?"
"Yes, we adults have suppressed them four times and driven 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 scout.
The scout immediately left the team and rode forward, disappearing before their eyes in a short while.
"My lord's safety is important. Since there are horse thieves, let's exit this section first."
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Yes, sir, he is too old to be involved in danger. You can have him and Yin You escorted to the back, and we will lead others to rescue people."
Nie Canjun: "Sir, this is a horse thief, very dangerous."
Man Bao said: "I know. If there were too many people, I wouldn't go. There are only eight people there, so what are you afraid of?"
They won't say whether many of them are good or bad. Among them are the soldiers and horses led by Nie Shenjun and the generals of the Yin family. Each one of them can chop the opponent into mincemeat with one knife.
Nie Canjun wants to ask you how you know there are only eight people?
A scout came back quickly and reported: "Join the army. There are bandits in the mountains who are chasing five or six people toward us. The one at the head is Mr. You."
Man Bao said "Oops", "It's actually Mr. You? Hey, why is he so slow? Was he also in Liangzhou City two days ago? Then why didn't he come to us?"
Bai Shandao: "I'm afraid I was caught long ago and only escaped now."
He said: "Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Nie, please go forward and set up an ambush to rescue the people. You must catch those eight thieves and don't let them escape."
Then he said: "If we stay one step behind and defend, nothing will happen."
Nie Canjun: "Be careful of an ambush, just in case it's a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
Keke said quietly: "There is no ambush, and we have not diverted the tiger away from the mountain, but if you don't go to save us, people will really come to us, and those six people will also be chopped down."
Man Bao immediately said: "There is no ambush. Aren't the scouts already approaching to investigate? Master Nie, they are almost running to the roadside. If we don't set up an ambush, it will be too late."
The scout couldn't help but glance at Zhou Man, and whispered to Nie Canjun: "Sir, Master Zhou is right. We climbed up the tree to check. It won't take long for the people to run out."
Nie Canjun also made a prompt decision. He turned around and ordered a group of ten people, and took six guards from the Yin family with him. "You go, be sure to keep all the bandits behind."
"yes."
He looked left and right, then waved his hand back to let the rear team change to the front team and exit, so as not to be ambushed by the horse thieves.
Fortunately, they didn't go far into the path and quickly retreated.
Nie Canjun chose a place to stop temporarily, but he put all his luggage in a separate place. Everyone was immediately on guard. If they 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. After waiting for a while, he felt bored and said, "Can't we go and take a look?"
Nie Canjun rejected her expressionlessly: "No."
Man Bao could only regret, "Okay."
"But there are six horse thieves there and three innocent people who are being chased. We have to rescue them, right?" Man Bao pointed to the avenue and said.
Nie Canjun frowned, "How does Mr. Zhou know?"
"I heard people shouting for help."
Nie Canjun became even more alert, "No, how could I know that this is not a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain? They may have had this idea, quietly leading the guards away, and then they can take you down in one fell swoop."
If it weren't for You Keke, Man Bao would have believed in Nie Canjun's judgment.
Man Bao said with a serious face: "I heard it, there is no ambush nearby, Nie Canjun, you believe me."
Nie Canjun opened his mouth. Zhou Man could hear the movement from such a distance just now. It was impossible to say that he didn't believe it in his heart. He just felt that it was not worth the risk.
Bai Shan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said sternly: "Nie Canjun, these people who were robbed are not people we know, but they are not. They are also our common people in Jin Dynasty. As officers and soldiers, we should protect them."
It’s okay if I don’t know. How can I turn a blind eye to it once I’ve encountered it?”
Nie Canjun said with a cold expression: "The duty of the lower official is to protect Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhuang and all the other gentlemen. Everything is based on this."
Bai Shan said approvingly: "This is true, but we are not in danger at this time, and we have the ability to protect ourselves. Of course we will save others if we can, not to mention..."
Bai Shan squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain and said: "Mr. You's caravan brought a lot of goods, and they should have all been robbed at this time. These horse thieves ambushing here must have robbed many passing merchants. I don't know who is in the den of thieves."
There are so many good things hidden, if we can help Duan Jishi exterminate them, we will not only clear the roads, but also solve the urgent need of Liangzhou City, and Nie Canjun has also achieved military merit, why not do it?"
Nie Canjun's eyebrows twitched and his heart began to beat.
