"This is a famous swordsman in the world, Xiahou Swordsman." The Zhou family nurse stood in the living room and introduced to his young master with a smile on his face.
Mr. Zhou looked at the man opposite him, and glanced at the swordsman, who was known as a master of martial arts, with a slightly scrutinizing gaze. He was also curious about why someone would be called a swordsman, and Xiahou was not very common. He was a little more curious for a moment.
Curious, he nodded to the master named Xia Hou as a response. However, he didn’t know that the swordsman’s surname was Xia Hou...
Along the official road to Guobei Town, Mr. Zhou and his accompanying family guards and hired swordsmen rushed to their destination. At the same time, they brought a large number of gifts and goods. Along the way, Mr. Zhou's complicated mood also calmed down.
Although this was the first time in his life that his father had given him an important responsibility, his lonely heart suddenly became restless. Along the way, everything was new to Mr. Zhou, although his face did not show it.
what emotion,
However, the eagerness in his eyes has never stopped. Of course, the road from Jinhua City to Guobei Town is not far, because due to the goods brought on the trip, it may be much slower. It can be reached in one day.
The journey was also delayed a lot, with lots of stops and starts, and it was actually not smooth along the way. Fortunately, the Zhou family's nursing home was also an experienced businessman, and they were all old people who had been with their father since they started their business, not to mention having a housekeeper to help.
Mr. Zhou was not worried at all.
"Sir, the weather is not very good today. It is expected to rain at night. These boxes of goods cannot get wet. Why don't we rest for the night before leaving? Moreover, the road is not smooth. If we encounter robbers at night, then
But that’s troublesome.” The butler asked from the side.
After a day's journey, I remembered that when I was running business, there was a resting place not far away. Seeing that the day was also cloudy, I guessed it would rain at night, so I told my young master in advance to save time.
By the time the problem is solved, it will be too late to deal with it.
"Uncle Liu, it's still early today. If we hurry up, maybe we can reach Guobei Town at night and have a good sleep." Mr. Zhou said with some disapproval, always feeling that we could complete the tasks assigned by his father earlier.
Tasks can better reflect your own value. Although I feel that what the housekeeper said is right, I still have my own idea in my heart, but I don't know whether it is right or not, and I have never put it into practice.
"Young master, this time is different from the past. I have told you that the goods this time are not trivial, so I must remember it. In normal times, we would travel lightly and we wouldn't have to go to such trouble. But, old..."
Butler Liu heard what the young master meant and quickly persuaded him, fearing that the young master would be impulsive and make some irrational decisions.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I understand what you said. Don't use my father to pressure me. I know what to do. Today, I will find a place to settle down and wait until tomorrow to set off." At this time, Zhou
The young master impatiently interrupted the butler's chatter, and wisely chose the butler's suggestion.
Although the group of people walked and stopped, they were not slow along the way. Near midnight, they finally found a ruined temple and finally had a place to rest. After settling the horses and goods, a few people rested in this place.
...
"Master, hurry up, something is wrong." At this time, in the middle of the night, Master Zhou was called by the housekeeper. The nervous look on his face made Mr. Zhou sober up.
"What's the matter? Is there a thief?" Mr. Zhou was keenly aware of some problems and asked in a low voice. At the same time, he saw that several guards of the Zhou family were already on guard around them, with serious faces, but they all spoke in soft voices.
They communicated freely without appearing too flustered.
"The guards who were watching at night just heard some noise outside and spotted some figures. There is probably a group of strong men nearby. They happened to meet us. They probably won't take kindly to it." The housekeeper looked nervous, although he had always been casual in his life.
The Zhou family's caravan traveled all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and encountered many dangerous incidents. However, this time with the young master, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, Master Zhou did not speak. He just looked around and saw several guards standing in their respective positions in the ruined temple. There was also a guard who was missing. He was probably watching outside the door.
The temple is in a dilapidated state, and the outer courtyard wall has collapsed long ago. It must not be able to block the attack of the robbers. Fortunately, the four walls of the house are still intact. Although there is air leakage everywhere,
There was still no problem in resisting the attack of a group of bandits. Looking again, the guard Xiahou Swordsman invited from Jinhua City still looked like he was not interested in the matter. Master Zhou was also a little angry. However, he did not say anything.
, because at this time, it is the most inappropriate to fight among ourselves. We just hope that when something goes wrong, this master of martial arts can stop the robbers and survive the disaster safely.
Butler Liu was quite relieved to see that the young master did not panic. Although he had experienced many storms, he had never expected the young master to be so calm. He knew that his young master was young and did not have much experience in dealing with these problems. Many
You still need to take action on your own, otherwise, it will easily capsize in the gutter.
The guards outside spread the news. It is said that this group of robbers is estimated to number more than a dozen people. They have surrounded the ruined temple. They probably don't know that they have been discovered yet. They may come in soon. Let everyone do their best.
Prepare.
"Master, the person who stepped on the plate this time is Ma Yanzi. He has a strong reserve and a strong idea. There is a leader who should be an expert." A sneaky robber outside the temple said softly.
"You'll show me your moves later. When breaking the door, use An Qingzi first, and Hai Qingzi to stir up the dog. Don't let their guards who are keeping watch at night find out. Wait for my signal, and come shoulder to shoulder with me." After listening to the report of his subordinates, the head of the house said,
With a plan in mind, he immediately gave the order. It seemed that this group of bandits had done this kind of thing not once or twice. They were familiar with the roads and each had their own division of labor. I guess most caravans would really know how to do this when they encountered them.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the gangsters outside the temple were ready. At this time, the leader shouted "kill" and a group of people rushed into the courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard was not small. In an instant, the whole place was filled with people.
A bunch of people rushed into the yard, each time
All the concealed weapons that one could throw were thrown into the house, regardless of whether they could hit anyone. Then they heard someone crying in the ruined temple house, and they suddenly panicked. The head of the house knew that the time had come, and said in an unambiguous way, "Pingjianzi."
superior".
In an instant, more than a dozen robbers armed with machetes broke in through the window, but no one entered through the front door, in case someone held a hand at the front door and died in vain!
When the gang of robbers outside was about to break down the door, Mr. Zhou and others inside were already waiting. The atmosphere was thick and everyone was extremely nervous, not to mention a young master who was just starting out. Everyone waited with bated breath.
This guy didn't even say hello before getting ready.
A ruthless man who kills people and sells goods, but at this time, Xiahou Swordsman is not hugging each other shoulder to shoulder with everyone, but standing alone in the corner of the wall, waiting for something. Although everyone did not say anything, his eyes still looked promising.
The master took action and dispatched this group of robbers.
It is said that when Xiahou Swordsman accepted this escort mission, he only thought of earning a small amount of money easily, and did not expect that there would be some setbacks on the way. In his eyes, it was an unforgivable crime for some thieves to disturb his sleep. Although, he
Although he has strong martial arts skills, it is still very troublesome to face enemies several times his own. Seeing that the rich man opposite him has always been relatively calm, he still appreciates it. Of course, it is more for the sake of money.
As the shouts of killing rang out outside, the Xiahou swordsman knew that it was time for him to take the stage. The sound of a broken window sounded. The Xiahou swordsman didn't even look at it. He struck with his sword and a robber fell under the window on the spot. At this time, a robber fell under the window.
The attack did not frighten the robbers, but aroused their maleness, and most of them rushed towards the Xiahou swordsman.
The Xiahou swordsman was not frightened by these powerful numbers. Instead, he stepped forward and danced the long sword in his hand like thunder, opening and closing it. In an instant, several bandits who were close to him fell to the ground, and more behind him
The robbers rushed over, looking red-eyed. It seemed that these robbers were also
A group of ruthless bandits were not intimidated by Xiahou Swordsman's momentum. Although the caravan on one side was far less powerful than Xiahou Swordsman, fortunately, most of the ruthless bandits were attracted by Xiahou Swordsman, and the caravan's guards all defended together.
, a few bandits who would besiege him for a while were unable to do anything.
But at this time, the robbers were heartbroken. Although they had a great advantage in numbers, several brothers died in the blink of an eye. For a moment, they just wanted to kill all these people and avenge their brothers.
, was suddenly aroused.
The few bandits who were besieging the caravan were okay. When they were fighting with the Zhou family guards, they were going back and forth, and the fight was very lively. After that, they couldn't do anything to each other. Looking at the swordsman Xiahou, it was completely
A one-sided massacre, with only one sword moving in all directions, the spectators were as depressed as the mountains, and the sky
The ground was low for a long time. It came like thunder to calm down its fury, and it ended like the clear light of the river and sea. What a Xiahou swordsman. In this moment, five or six ruthless bandits were dealt with, and almost all the ruthless bandits who were besieging him were brought down.
He was injured, and the leading robber was dragging swordsman Xiahou in front of him, and was about to be killed with his sword.
Facing a powerful enemy, these bandits will never have the courage to fight with them. Although they can usually crush some ordinary people or fight with more, but in this case, every bandit starts to feel silently in his heart.
With the intention of running away, as long as there is an opportunity, they will pull it out without hesitation.
Just run away with your legs, because if you try hard at this time, you will definitely die, and if you run slowly, you will definitely die. It depends on who falls down first. While the robbers were making small calculations, they only heard a scream from their leader, as if
As if receiving some signal, these robbers immediately gave up their opponents and fled outside the house.
Obviously, all this was not as smooth as the bandits thought. Both the Xiahou swordsmen and the caravan's guards were desperately trying to keep the group of bandits in order to prevent them from escaping and causing trouble again.
It was too late, but it was so fast that in just one stick of incense time, less than half of the group of more than a dozen robbers were left, and the leader of the robbers was also in this ruined temple. It was already raining outside
It's raining lightly, but it doesn't care about the robbers
The caravan guards were all covered in blood, and most of them had wounds. Especially this group of bandits, who looked more like lost dogs at this time, while Xiahou Swordsman chased this group of bandits and crushed them all the way like a demon.
