The leader spoke sharply and was very dissatisfied with Li Si's attitude of underestimating the enemy.
This Li Si is a fool with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He can only show off his bravery and has no brain at all.
Li Si called Shangfeng and scolded him. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything anymore.
Here, Gu Chengyu and the others had not yet thought of a countermeasure. The convoy suddenly stopped halfway and stayed there for such a long time, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of the bandits.
The escorts in the escort agency were doubtful about this matter, and Mingmo and the others were still explaining.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves from the other side of the road. Gu Chengyu looked back and saw three horses running towards this side from the other side of the gorge.
Gu Chengyu, Ming Mo, and the others were on guard. These people had some unknown origins. They happened to be here at this time. They might be bandits.
The horses were getting closer and closer, and when they were still some way away from Gu Chengyu and the others, the one at the front slowed down the horse until it stopped.
Gu Chengyu looked at the people on the horse and saw that they were all wearing silk and satin clothes with jade pendants hanging around their waists. They looked like they were well worth the money.
Captain Wu quietly touched the knife hanging on his waist and kept a close eye on the three men.
"Brothers, I've been passing by here with some goods. Is this Tong County ahead of me?"
These three people were all tall and round-waisted. The leader bowed his hand to Wu Biao. As for Gu Chengyu and the other three who were standing aside, they were ignored by them.
Captain Wu looked at the three of them before nodding and saying, "Indeed, brother, has he sold his goods and come back?"
The man smiled and replied: "The things sold this time are very easy to sell. I'm going to stop by my uncle's house. Since we are on the right road, let's not leave here."
He cupped his hands again and said to the two people behind him: "Let's go!"
Gu Chengyu looked at the three people. The man in the front spoke a little strangely. If he really sold the goods, how could he tell a stranger? Aren't he afraid that others would come to see Cai and get interested?
The three of them were all dressed in luxurious clothes. They must have a lot of money after selling the goods, but they were unguarded against them during the conversation. This is impossible.
Looking at the two people behind them, they were both silent. Although they were followers, they were dressed as well as their masters. If so, they were vaguely the leader.
Gu Chengyu took a closer look and saw that the person behind him was actually wearing a robe under his satin clothes. The material of the robe inside was very ordinary, just ordinary cotton.
Gu Chengyu turned around and winked at Ming Mo and the others. Gu Chengyu did not carry a sword when he got out of the carriage, for fear that the three of them would suddenly attack.
After the three people talked to Wu Biaotou, they rode in the opposite direction to Gu Chengyu and the others.
Wu Biaotou looked at the other party's figure gradually moving away, and then he put down his hand on the knife.
"Huh? Let me tell you, the bandit looks down on someone who looks so wealthy. Are they just waiting for us to go? I don't believe it."
It was Ma Er who spoke. If they believed Gu Chengyu's words just now, they definitely don't believe them at all now.
Captain Wu was hesitant at this moment. Apparently, he thought what Ma Er said was good.
"Those three people just now might be bandits."
Gu Chengyu looked at the three people who were running out of sight. Although he spoke uncertainly, his tone was very sure.
He felt that those bandits came just for the escort agency, and even pretended to be merchants in order to invite you to the urn.
Ordinary bandits would have rushed up long ago.
"Sir! Why haven't they come over yet? Our people have already passed over."
The leader was also a little impatient with waiting. He really didn't know what the people in the escort agency were writing about.
He took a deep breath and said, "They are too far away from us. Wait a little longer until they are close, and then we will rush forward. Please don't call me "Sir" later, to avoid causing more trouble."
"Anyway, if we don't leave anyone alive, even if they find out, they can't tell anyone." A bandit said nonchalantly.
"Mr. Gu! The bandits don't even bother to use this kind of trick. Even if they really want to intercept the dart, they will just rush forward."
Captain Wu was a little hesitant. How could the bandits wait until now? They had stopped halfway along the road for almost half an hour. If they were really bandits, they would have been unable to hold on any longer.
Moreover, he has great trust in the spies of his escort agency, and Shihou has never made any mistakes.
However, Mr. Gu's entourage knew martial arts and said they had gone to investigate. He was a little confused and struggled in his heart, not knowing who to believe.
Gu Chengyu saw Captain Wu's hesitation and his heart sank slightly. Now, even if they wanted to leave the convoy, they couldn't. The bandits wouldn't let them go. He didn't want to waste his time, so it was better to go back and make preparations early.
.
Using his internal energy, he flew to Gu Wan's carriage, "Brother Sun!"
Captain Wu and the others were surprised when they saw Gu Chengyu's exposed hand. They didn't expect that not only the follower's kung fu was good, but also Master Gu's kung fu was not weak.
Gu Chengyu opened the curtain of Gu Wan's carriage and entered the carriage.
"Xiaobao! But what's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Gu Wan looked at Gu Chengyu who came in and asked doubtfully.
"Second sister! Listen to me, there may be bandits ahead. Here are two daggers. Take them to defend yourself. Remember, no matter what happens, don't come out. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he pretended to take out two daggers from his sleeves and gave them to Sun Xian who was sitting beside him.
Gu Chengyu walked towards Ye Zhiqiu's carriage at the back again, and he might not be able to take care of the two carriages if they were separated. Therefore, he planned to let Ye Zhiqiu and others get into Gu Wan's carriage together, and everyone would squeeze in, so that he only had to protect one carriage.
Just a carriage.
After explaining the general situation to Ye Zhiqiu and the others, he ignored the exclamations of Second Sister Ye and Ye Mu, and drove the three of them to Gu Wan's carriage.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's skills, the Wu escort leader here decided to stop and make preparations and not go any further. However, the enemy had bows and arrows, and they had no good plan to deal with them at the moment.
At this time, a fat man with big ears got out of the carriage. He frowned and shouted to Wu Wu, "Bus Wu, why haven't you left yet? It's been almost half an hour."
At first, he thought someone was going to the toilet, and then he stopped in the middle. Originally, he was not willing to let the escort take Gu Chengyu and his group, but then he thought about it, it would be good to have more people to cover him, and this batch of money would definitely not be able to
Something went wrong.
He had already been dissatisfied with the delay in his trip because he had a female dependent. It was a lot of work to bring a female dependent, and he had to rush to stay with him before dark every day. With this amount of money, he was frightened every day.
Afraid of something unexpected happening.
Thinking of the two people sent by his master, he did not dare to complain. After all, it was not his intention to let Mr. Gu and the others follow the convoy to the capital.
"Mr. Han, there may be bandits ahead who want to rob the road. We have to think about countermeasures now!" Wu Wu said to Mr. Han with a grimace.
"What?" Mr. Han quickly looked around and then got on the carriage in the middle very quickly.
"Sir! They haven't come here yet." The bandits couldn't wait any longer. After taking so long, the convoy just couldn't come.
The leader gritted his teeth, what a waste of such good terrain.
