Merchant Li understood that the situation was urgent, so he quickly called all the clerks together and informed everyone of what he had encountered.
Everyone was wailing, and a few guys even wanted to sneak out and blend into other caravans, but they were all beaten up by the well-prepared guards and thrown back.
Seeing this, everyone knew that there was only one way to go now. They could only disperse and pack their things in frustration, but they all had their own little thoughts in their hearts.
Merchant Li couldn't care less about what his men thought and hurried towards the luxurious carriage. Now everyone was just a grasshopper on a rope. If he wanted to go back alone, he would probably die of thirst and starvation just halfway.
How can Gu Zheng keep an eye on the outside all the time? Now he is watching the three of them. They are at a critical moment in their cultivation and cannot be disturbed.
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and Gu Zheng sensed that it was Businessman Li. With a sad look on his face, he quickly got out of the car.
"Mr. Gu, we are in trouble now, maybe it will harm you." Merchant Li quickly told what happened just now, and then took out all the money he had given him before.
After listening, the face of the cold-faced young man from before flashed through Gu Zheng's mind. Could it be that he had offended the other party unintentionally and caused such a big reaction?
Looking at Merchant Li's dejected face, he didn't know that the problem might be caused by the man in front of him.
"Forget it, you can just keep the money, it's useless for me to ask for it." Gu Zheng did not take the money bag and pushed it over again.
"You should pay more attention. If there are other people you know, you can leave us. There is no need to get involved." Businessman Li was not in the mood to shirk the money. Maybe it would be snatched away by others in the end. He hurriedly faced
Gu Zheng said, and he left here.
There is still one night left, at least make good use of this night to see if there is any improvement.
It's a pity that everything he did was in vain. It seemed that several caravans around him had gotten the news and did not help them. One of them, one of the Poseidons, added insult to injury and said that he would move all their things over to avoid being caught.
It is better to leave it to your own people than to be robbed by the bandits outside.
Businessman Li was so angry that there was nothing he could do. He meditated hard all night and even a handful of his hair turned white, but there was still no good way.
Early the next morning, everyone started to take action, and there were still a few guards guarding them.
These people could only watch as their previous positions were snatched away and quickly disappeared before their eyes.
"Listen, you people, don't get close to the caravan, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." A guard surrounded by black scales gathered his team and shouted at them.
Then he stabbed a sharp sword into the ground as a warning to them, and then all of them rushed towards the caravan.
When Gu Zheng came out, he saw a group of people standing there in despair, but as if they didn't know what to do. They were surrounded by things that had been packed and ready to leave at any time.
Seeing Gu Zheng come out, Merchant Li greeted him bitterly and said feebly, "Master Gu, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
"What should we do next?" Gu Zheng didn't have any frustration on his face, as if he didn't care at all. But from Merchant Li's point of view, the other party was just silent about his anger and happiness, but in his heart he must be blaming him.
"I decided to continue following the big caravan. If we can spend seven days safely, there will be a small city where we can rest and wait for the next wave of caravans to arrive. Then it will be safe to walk together, because if we go back
The journey is about the same as this time." Merchant Li cheered up and said.
"Okay, I will definitely help if necessary." Gu Zheng glanced around, then said, and then returned to the carriage again.
"Hurry up, do you really want to wait for death? Keep up with the front, maybe everything will be safe along the way." Seeing everyone in this state, Businessman Li shouted dissatisfied. At this point, he can't just sit and wait for death.
Only then did everyone regain some energy and began to carry more than a dozen cars of goods along the road, preparing to move forward again.
Under the puzzled gaze of Businessman Li, two children, one large and one small, walked out of the carriage and were ready to help them.
"Hey, my two little ancestors, what are you doing out here? Go back, this is not the place for you to stay outside." Merchant Li saw this and hurriedly came over and said.
This girl is cute and cute, and the guy is so heroic, how could they be allowed to do such a thing? Besides, given their age, this shouldn't have been done by them in the first place.
"Uncle Li, it doesn't matter. We used to do things by ourselves. We are not the kind of people who don't know anything. Besides, my master said that we should just exercise." Xiao Lan raised her little face and said sweetly.
"Yeah, I'm very capable, let's help." Ah Shai puffed up his arms, and a little muscle emerged from them.
They were right, because it was indeed Gu Zheng who arranged for them to come down to help and send some people away by the way.
In Gu Zheng's perception, far behind, a small group of bandits were following, and before they noticed, someone had already come here to explore for information about them.
It seems that the group of people will arrive soon.
Seeing them like this, Merchant Li didn't say anything. Anyway, there weren't many things to pay attention to now. He just paid more attention to not dropping the goods and the direction of the carriage.
Following the traces of the caravan in front, they followed.
Merchant Li is a very experienced businessman. Based on the traces left in front, he can judge the opponent's speed and distance, and command the convoy to accelerate for a period of time, and then move forward at a constant speed.
"Everything must go well, and I must have a good rest for a few years after I go back." Looking at the scene around him slowly receding, Merchant Li kept thinking in his heart.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Half a day later, when they were stopping to rest and have something to eat, a guard guy suddenly changed his face and shouted.
"Someone is coming from behind! It's a bandit!"
Because of the fear, his voice was a bit shrill, so he hurriedly climbed down from under the roof of the car. As a result, he missed a step on the car and fell straight down. He fell to the ground and could not get up.
Needless to say, with the sound of horse hooves coming from far away, everyone knew that an uninvited guest was coming. They hurriedly put down their lunch and subconsciously wanted to run away.
"Everyone, hurry up and get ready to fight. There are only a few opponents, don't be afraid." Seeing that a guy was injured immediately, Merchant Li sighed inwardly. It was really unlucky to have one guy injured at the beginning. After climbing on top of a carriage, he saw
There were only a few people on the other side, and they immediately shouted overjoyed.
You must know that there are more than a dozen of them here, and the other party is probably just a group of scouts who are vigilant at the back. If they all unite, maybe the other party will not take the risk to attack them.
Hearing what Merchant Li said, a group of them retreated in panic. They quickly took out the swords and shields on the side, and then quickly blocked the surrounding area with the carriage, leaving only a gap in the middle. They were very skilled in such situations.
Very useful when encountering a small group of robbers.
By the time the bandits arrived in front of them, they were ready to attack and ready to defend themselves.
"Don't you go down and take a look?" Shuang'er said to Gu Zheng in the carriage. "The opponent is so strong, I'm afraid there might be some casualties."
Although there are only five people on the other side, the leader has a third-level strength and a fierce aura. He can tell at a glance that he is an elite who has escaped from the army.
Others are most afraid of having second-level strength. Although the number is small, for ordinary people like them, there is simply no way to deal with each other.
"I knew they were behind me a long time ago, so I sent the two of them out before. This time is just their experience." Gu Zheng squinted his eyes and lay comfortably behind him and said.
"But they have only been studying for such a short period of time, will they be in danger?" Shuang'er raised the side curtains and looked at the tense scene, saying worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm in charge of everything, and no one's life will be in danger." Gu Zheng said calmly, while his body was also recovering quickly.
I was teaching them with all my strength a few days ago, but my recovery speed was a little slower. As a result, I can barely reach the early stage of Jinxian's combat power now. I need to restore myself to the best before entering Fengcheng. Only then can I get involved.
Move this storm.
Because the other party will definitely prevent this, and there will definitely be well-hidden enemies there to protect their plans. You can't be careless and break the other party's plan to see if the other party can continue to hide. At that time, you will be able to
Chance to rescue Xueer.
Feeling Xue'er's current state, the message that she was still safe made Gu Zheng feel a little more at ease.
Outside, Merchant Li looked helpless at the young ancestors who were following him on both sides. He had already persuaded the other party to go back, but the other party was unwilling to do so and insisted on following them, saying that he would protect them.
Seeing that the people on the carriage still didn't get off the carriage and didn't care about their children, Merchant Li had no choice but to abandon them and go back. He came to the front, raised his hands and said to them.
"Dear friends, if there is anything you need help with, I will not stand idly by."
His hidden intention is obvious, which is to buy money for the journey and let the other party give a price.
"Haha, it's very refreshing. I like your character. That's good. I want all your goods. You can go with the most basic dry food. At least your life is saved." The captain at the head of the team comforted the following a little.
The somewhat restless war horse laughed out loud.
At this time, Merchant Li was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless and want all their assets at once. Everyone turned their eyes to Merchant Li to see what he would choose.
"Why don't you agree? Do you want to resist? With cats and dogs like you, do you really think you can hurt us?" After a second, the leader changed his tone and said sinisterly.
At the same time, he drew out his weapon, and his strong killing intent was instantly released. The men behind him also kept shouting, threatening the opposite side.
They were just ordinary people, and when they were struck by the opponent's murderous intent that had been on the battlefield for a long time, their faces immediately turned pale. Although there seemed to be only a few of them, to them they were like thousands of troops.
Several people didn't even hold on to the weapons in their hands, and dropped them to the ground with a "clang".
"Agree, agree, thank you for not killing me, we are leaving now, we are leaving now." Businessman Li broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Compared to life, money is really an extraneous thing.
"Well, that's good. Throw down all your weapons and give you a moment to burn incense. If you don't leave by then, then don't blame us for being ruthless." The captain snorted coldly, as if to let them
Don't worry, their team retreated a short distance back again.
"Don't worry, we'll pack up and leave immediately. Put down your weapons quickly." Merchant Li wiped his sweat and quickly gave instructions to the back.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Li, don't do this." Suddenly there was a loud shout from behind. Everyone was stunned and saw a little boy walking out from behind holding a little girl.
"What's wrong?" Merchant Li was stunned again, not understanding why these two young ancestors came out.
"Don't be fooled. The other side doesn't want to let us go at all. What they said before was just to make us give up resistance so that it would be easier to massacre us." Ah Shai stood at the front and said loudly to everyone again.
He has been crawling around outside since he was a child, and his eyes are extremely vicious. He can see through the opponent's tricks at a glance and quickly come to stop the opponent.
"How is that possible, little doll, I advise you not to talk nonsense, what if you offend the other party?" A waiter at the back said dissatisfiedly, most of them had this idea, thinking that they didn't even want anything, why?
They will also kill them. You must know that most of the bandits are just looking for money.
"I'm not lying. Look at the opponent's retreat distance. It's not their kindness, but the opponent's best charging distance." Ah Shai pointed at the opponent and said.
When Merchant Li looked at the opposite side, he saw that it was indeed the case, but he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Could it be that what Ah Shai said was really like that?
"Haha, where did this little kid come from? He's really smart. He can see through it at a glance. It's amazing." The captain over there laughed, without any explanation, but admitted it openly.
Watching the other side gather together again because of his words, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. It was just a group of rabble, and a single charge could break through the opponent's gathering. At most, they would only be slightly injured, so there was no hindrance.
"You, you" Merchant Li didn't expect this to be the case. He felt desperate and didn't know what to say.
"You guys are all going to die, and none of you can escape. How about this little baby? If you hang out with us, you can keep your sister and you safe." The captain said to Ah Shai. He admired him a little.
Okay, with such keen observation, you must know that this trick of theirs has deceived many guards who have been out all year round.
"Bah, I won't hang out with thieves like you." Ah Shai said with the same disdain. He despised this kind of people the most.
Even Xiaolan next to her glared at him angrily and held her little hands tightly. She knew about these bad guys that the husband of a kind-hearted aunt was killed by them.
"Okay, since you don't have to drink alcohol for the toast, I'm going to arrest your sister and sell her to someone else's house to be a slave." The captain's face suddenly sank, and when he was about to give the order to charge,
Ah Shai's eyes turned red when he heard that he dared to threaten his sister. That was his own inverse scale, and then he rushed over with all his strength. He must make sure that he was punished.
Although he was angry, he was not stupid. He knew that he could not let the opponent charge, otherwise he would not dare to say that he could block the opponent's charge.
"It seems that Ah Shai has a good sense of fighting. I didn't even notice it." Shuang'er hid aside and admired.
"Yes, that kid may seem careless at ordinary times, but once he concentrates, he can indeed exert his full strength." Gu Zheng admired from the side.
Although he still squinted his eyes to regain his physical strength, his spiritual consciousness was always paying attention to that side. If there was really danger, he could get out with just one thought.
In a fight of this level, he didn't even bother to take action.
"Drink, good boy. I didn't expect to have such cultivation at such a young age. It seems I can't keep you. It's because you like to be in the spotlight too much. You should be more low-key in your next life."
The captain looked at the opponent's speed like a sharp arrow, and then realized that he had a second-level cultivation at a young age. He was indeed gifted, but it was a pity that he was about to die in his own hands.
Not caring about regrets, he pulled out a sword flower in mid-air with the long sword in his hand, and it was thrown out instantly by him. Its target was Ah Shai, who was rushing towards the ground at a very fast speed.
I saw Ah Shai suddenly stop and turn on the ground, and happened to go around the opponent's side. At the same time, he suddenly stamped his foot, and a soft sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he stabbed the opponent's horse.
"You go and kill those people. I will deal with this boy and the little girl. Don't let me accidentally hurt you. The new Mr. Qian seems to like this."
The captain pulled the horse's head and made his beloved mount take a few steps back. He pulled out the black iron spear on the side, got off the horse, and with the momentum of falling from the sky, stabbed the opponent in the face with one shot.
He has no mercy at all. He will not show any mercy to his enemies, no matter whether they are young or old. The enemy is the enemy, and only death will make him feel at ease. This is something he has rarely done as a scout captain.
The reason for the error.
Seeing this, Ah Shai successfully forced the opponent down and dodged the opponent's attack with a backflip. The soft sword in his hand shone in the sunlight and pointed directly at the opponent's chest.
Looking at the sinister eyes opposite him, he showed no sign of timidity.
"Hey, your sister wants me to be caught by her men, are you relieved? Or maybe the relationship between you brothers and sisters is already very bad." The captain said with a smile on his face, not forgetting to provoke concern between them.
, to distract him.
Although my strength is one level higher than the other's, my feeling of wandering between life and death tells me that this little boy on the other's side is a fatal threat to me.
"I think it's your men who deserve to suffer." Ah Shai snorted coldly. Of course his sister knew that, even though she was young, her fighting ability was much better than his own.
"Ah plop"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of several people screaming and falling to the ground were heard from behind.
