The next morning, Chai Yan and Yuan began to pack their bags and prepare to set off.
At this time, the owner of the house and his family had already fed the horses and specially prepared some fodder for them to use on the road.
After Chai Yan and Yuan said goodbye to the village chief of Yujia Village, they prepared to leave the village and continue to Yaozhou.
The two of them had just mounted their horses when they saw someone running towards the village entrance, shouting in panic as they ran.
Everyone looked over immediately, and the people around the village chief immediately came over to greet him, asking urgently what happened.
The person who ran over was a villager from Yujia Village. He was a single man and lived in the first house at the entrance of the village.
This man ran over with a panicked look on his face and said from a distance: "Village Chief, it's not good, something serious is going to happen!"
The village chief was about fifty years old, and his body looked very strong. He immediately felt that the villagers had lost the face of Yujia Village, so he stopped him in a deep voice: "Why panic! If you have something to say, don't yell!"
The villagers stopped after approaching, panting and pointing to the entrance of the village and said: "Village Chief, there are some gangsters coming from the end of the village. They are... robbing my house!"
"Rogue bandits?" The village chief was immediately surprised: "A few days ago, I heard that there were rogue bandits in Yaozhou, but... they actually spread to us?"
The surrounding villagers were also frightened. They all looked at the village chief and asked him what to do and asked him for advice.
The village chief was still very decisive and immediately said to the two women beside him: "Go quickly and call the men from each household to fight against the bandits!"
The two women with frightened faces nodded hurriedly and ran away in a hurry.
Then, the village chief rushed into the house and came out shortly after holding a hoe.
When the village chief came out and saw that the people around him were still stunned, he said anxiously: "Why are you still stunned? Go and copy the guy!"
Only then did the stunned villagers react and dispersed in all directions.
The village chief hurried to the entrance of the village. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back to Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan and said, "You two, you also heard that there are bandits coming from the end of the village. You have to take the path behind the village!"
With that said, the village chief pointed in the direction of the path, then quickly ran towards the village entrance with his hoe in hand without looking back.
After the village chief left, Chai Yan turned to look at Yuan, who happened to be looking at Chai Yan at the same time.
Chai Yan said with a smile: "I know what you want to do!"
Yuan Yuan smiled slightly and asked, "What about you?"
Chai Yan pursed his lips, shrugged slightly and said, "I have no problem..."
Yuan Yuan immediately turned his head and looked forward, suddenly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, slapped the reins and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Drive!"
"Drive!" Chai Yan responded and followed.
The two of them ran towards the village entrance one after the other.
The speed of horses is naturally faster than that of people, and the two of them caught up with the village chief and his party before they reached the village entrance.
At this time, there were already five or six male villagers gathered around the village chief, some old and some young, of varying heights, holding either hoes or poles and hatchets in their hands. As they walked towards the entrance of the village, people continued to join the team.
When Chai Yan and Yuan appeared on horseback on the side of the team, the village chief immediately became anxious: "Why are you two here? Didn't I tell you to go down the path? It's dangerous ahead!"
Chai Yan said loudly: "Village chief, when you see an injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help. Since we have encountered it, we still have to take care of it! Driver..."
Having said that, Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan accelerated and overtook the village chief and his party.
There were six bandits who entered Yujia Village. They all came from the direction of Yaozhou. The leader was called Ma Xiaowu. Although he was not tall, he looked capable and strong. There was a deep scar on his forehead and his hands were
He was holding a big knife in his hand, which looked very powerful.
Ma Xiaowu stood at the door of a room and shouted impatiently inside: "You guys, have you found anything?"
Soon, two dirty men came out of the room, one tall and one short.
The tall man replied: "Fifth brother, this family is too poor. After searching for a long time, I found this piece of money!"
While talking, the tall man picked up a bunch of money and showed it to Ma Xiaowu.
"Made, pauper!" Ma Xiaowu blurted out the curse.
The short man was carrying a five-pronged iron fork and said: "Fifth brother, this man shouldn't be so poor. He must have hidden all his money and it will be difficult to find it for a while!"
"What nonsense do you have to say?" Ma Xiaowu grabbed the dime from the tall man's hand and threw it into his arms.
Ma Xiaowu waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, go check out the next house!"
After giving the order, the dispersed bandits quickly gathered around Ma Xiaowu, and the group headed towards Yujia Village in a menacing manner.
After walking a few steps, the tall gangster pointed to the road in the village and shouted: "Fifth brother, there are...someone on horseback is coming!"
When everyone looked forward, they saw two fast horses galloping towards them.
"Quick! Stop them, stop them..." Ma Xiaowu hurriedly pointed ahead and shouted.
As soon as the words were spoken, the five brothers around him spread out and lined up, blocking the road at the entrance of the village.
Soon, the two horses stopped about seven or eight feet in front of the six people.
Ma Xiaowu took a few steps forward, put the big knife on his shoulder, and said smugly: "If you want to run away, have you asked me if I have the big knife in my hand?"
In fact, there was no need for others to stop Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan. They came here for this group of people.
"Fifth brother, look, she is a woman, a beautiful woman..."
The short bandit holding the iron fork saw Yuan Yuan at a glance, and he came to Ma Xiaowu's side to give guidance.
Ma Xiaowu took a closer look and immediately straightened his eyes: "Oh my god, she is such a beautiful woman! Good, good, good luck, I am so lucky today!"
Although Yuan wears a gauze, it does not prevent others from seeing her beautiful face.
As soon as Ma Xiaowu finished speaking, the brothers around him began to congratulate him.
"Congratulations to fifth brother, congratulations to fifth brother!"
When Chai Yan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. He turned to Yuanyuan and asked, "Madam, do we really look so weak?"
Yuan said calmly: "That's because they are stupid!"
"Yes, you are stupid if you don't run away when you see us!" Chai Yan nodded happily.
With that said, Chai Yan was about to dismount, but Yuan Yuan said: "Let me do it!"
As soon as Chai Yan raised his right foot in the air, he froze when he heard these words, turned around and said, "You coming?"
He raised his feet, jumped off the horse in a graceful manner, and said: "I have been practicing the Xiao family's swordsmanship for so long, and I just wanted to try it with a few of them."
After saying that, Yuyuan took a step back, turned around and pulled out a sword from the side of the horse's back.
This sword is very familiar to Chaiyan. It is the black iron sword that Xiao Tongtian gave to Yuan.
When Ma Xiaowu and the other five bandits saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment.
"Hey, it's still Lian Jiazi, keep it exciting!"
"Hahahahaha..."
As soon as Ma Xiaowu finished speaking, there was a chorus of laughter behind him...
