Yu Tie on the side also nodded in agreement, while Fatty Lai didn't care about this and just stuck his head out to peek at the carriage driving on the road.
"Okay, okay, seeing how nervous you guys are, I'll just say it casually. Can't you just take it as a joke?" Cheng Jiu shook his head and curled his lips.
"It's the best joke!"
Ge Hong knew Cheng Jiu very well. If he could say these words, he must have had thoughts. It was just a matter of how much.
While they were talking, the two carriages had already passed the sight of the five people and disappeared into the distance.
The Warriors Gang slowly stood up and continued on their way.
After walking along the official road for half an hour, the five of them suddenly heard the clash of weapons and loud shouts of killing in front of them.
Cheng Jiu, who was walking at the front, immediately stopped everyone from moving forward, and then said to Ge Hong: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll go to the front and have a look!"
Ge Hong said: "Lao Wu, you go with Lao Si so that we can take care of you!"
"Yeah!" Guan Maochun nodded and followed Cheng Jiu towards the place where the sound of fighting came from.
Ge Hong was not idle either. He directed Fatty Lai and Yu Tie to slowly approach the front, found a landbag with good visibility and hid there, waiting for the fourth and fifth brothers to come back and report the situation.
Soon, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun ran back. The three of them hurriedly waved and called the two to come behind the bumpkin...
"How's it going? What's going on ahead?" Ge Hong asked Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu grinned and said: "Brother, what a coincidence, the two carriages that passed by just now were robbed, and the guards in the carriages were fighting with the robbers at the moment...
"
Guan Maochun added: "There were about a dozen carjackers, and there were only four or five people escorting them. It is estimated that they will soon be unable to hold on."
Ge Hong frowned and thought to himself, I have always heard that there are rogue bandits in Yaozhou. Maybe these robbers are rogue bandits!
Then, Ge Hong asked: "Did you see who was sitting in the car?"
Cheng Jiudao: "I didn't see it, but I heard a woman's cry in the carriage. I think it's a female family member who came to sit."
Guan Maochun nodded: "Yes, brother! I heard it too, there was indeed a woman's voice."
Ge Hong thought that this might be an opportunity, so he immediately patted Fatty Lai on the shoulder, pointed ahead and said: "Let's go and check the situation first, let's act according to the situation!"
"Okay!" "Yeah!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and then approached the front.
On the official road, two carriages were robbed and stopped in the middle of the road. The horses of the carriage in front were hit by arrows and fell on the road, and the carriage also turned sideways.
The horses in the carriage behind were frightened. At this time, the coachman was trying hard to pull the reins, trying to control the horses. The screams of women could clearly be heard in the carriage, and it sounded like there was more than one woman.
Around the carriage, a dozen or so people dressed in disorderly clothes and armed with various weapons such as swords, guns, and sticks were besieging the carriage's guards.
There are only five guards in total, and three of them are now lying in a pool of blood. The remaining two are still waving their swords and resisting tenaciously, but one of them has been injured in the arm, and the other is weak, and he can't see it.
I can't stand it anymore.
At this moment, an arrow flew from a distance and hit the coachman in the chest!
The coachman fell down immediately after being hit by the arrow. The horse was frightened again and lost control. It immediately raised its head and neighed, causing the woman in the carriage to scream again.
"Oops!"
Among the only two guards left, the injured one was already anxious. He suddenly pushed the guard beside him and shouted: "Go and drive, rush out!"
The guard who was pushed away also knew that this was a life-and-death moment, and immediately ran towards the frightened horse with his long sword in hand without hesitation.
The guard grabbed the reins and tried to control the horse while trying to turn it around on the road.
Seeing that the horse was about to turn around, another arrow shot through the air, and with the same "pop" sound, it penetrated the guard's throat. The guard died on the spot and fell at the feet of the horse.
When the injured guard saw that his companion was dead, he immediately looked anxious, turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Miss! Hurry... oh..."
Before the word "run" came out of his mouth, a long knife was stabbed into his abdomen from the front.
Before the guard could turn around to see who had stabbed him, the man had already drawn the knife and retreated. The moment after he drew the knife and left, the injured guard fell to the ground on the road. Soon, a small amount of blood accumulated under his abdomen.
The black and red blood on the beach.
The next moment, two robbers ran over and took control of the horses. The moment the horses stopped neighing, it also heralded the end of the battle!
"Little lady, come out, hahaha..."
"Don't be shy, come out and show me! Hehehehe..."
"Hahaha, that's right, let's take a good look..."
Soon the robbers swarmed around the carriage, and everyone was scrambling to lift the curtain to see inside, causing the woman in the carriage to scream for help.
When the five members of the Dark Warriors Gang saw this, they couldn't help but sweat for the women in the carriage. Their guards were all dead. It seemed they couldn't run away today!
"Brother, let's go..."
After saying this, Cheng Jiu turned back to look at Ge Hong, but Ge Hong was staring at the carriage with a frown.
Cheng Jiu was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression.
"Brother, you don't want to save people, do you?" Cheng Jiu's voice was very low, but his tone was very forceful and nervous.
Ge Hong glanced sideways at Cheng Jiu and asked, "Why...are you afraid?"
This question surprised everyone including Fatty Lai.
Cheng Jiu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Brother, what are you talking about? Am I afraid of them?"
Ge Hong said calmly: "Then we won't end it!"
Fatty Lai was happy when he saw this. Cheng Jiu glared and said, "You are so ridiculous!"
Guan Maochun said worriedly: "Brother, there are more than ten of them, and you are injured again. I'm worried..."
Ge Hong shook his head, stared at the situation on the road, and said solemnly: "What are you worried about? Just kill the guy who shoots the arrow quietly first, the rest are all waste!"
As soon as the words fell, the five of them turned to look at the front of the road. There was an archer standing there. Judging from his posture and aura, he should be the leader of this group of robbers!
"Who among you is willing to go?" Ge Hong suddenly asked.
"I'm going!" "Me!"
Cheng Jiu was the first to answer, followed by Guan Maochun.
Yu Tie was speechless and had to raise his hand to respond, but in fact he was the first one.
Only Fatty Lai remained silent or raised his hand.
Fatty Lai was afraid that everyone would laugh at him for being timid, so he explained: "I want to go too, but my movements are slow and my voice is loud. If I mess up..."
"Okay, Fatty, we didn't consider you at all!" Cheng Jiu had always been very straightforward when dealing with Fatty Lai.
Ge Hong looked at the three of them and quickly made a decision: "Fourth, it's up to you!"
"Brother is still wise!" Cheng Jiu's face immediately became excited, and he swung around behind the archer.
