Lu Chen opened his eyes, turned his head slightly and looked toward the southeast. The murmur just now came from that direction.
More than a hundred feet away, on one of the big trees with a thick waist, there were two figures hiding, both dressed in black and masked.
A lean man said: "Boss, this is the Guo family's caravan. We have been following it for more than half a month. The brothers can't wait any longer. The master has given us a message to destroy this batch of goods. We must not let them
Return to Yuyang County in Jingzhou safely, now is a great time!"
The burly figure next to him sneered with a slightly rich voice: "This woman from the Guo family is so ignorant. It's so good to be honest and obedient to her master, but she insists on seeking death and forcing herself into a desperate situation!"
"Hmph, I can only blame Guo Xiuyun, a woman with such a strong temper. I just don't understand why the master likes her so much!" The lean man snorted coldly, his eyes filled with confusion.
The burly man laughed and scolded in a low voice: "What do you know, kid? Can the master's taste be the same as yours? The more fierce-tempered a woman is, the more pleasurable it is to conquer her, do you understand?"
"Boss, what do you think we should do next?" The lean man glanced at the guards patrolling around the caravan and said with a fierce expression.
The burly man thought for a moment and said seriously: "Are you sure how many people the Guo family caravan has?"
"I have observed clearly this long ago. The Guo family caravan brought a total of fifty-eight guards, twenty-two coachmen, twenty maids, plus the woman and his housekeeper, a total of one hundred and two people.
!" The lean man said carefully. He had been tracking the caravan for some time and had already found out all the details of the Guo family's caravan. The situation inside was naturally very clear.
The burly man said seriously: "Are there any masters worth noting among them?"
"There are two of them, one is named Dong Qiu, and the other is their housekeeper Wang Feng. They are both acquired peak masters, which is a bit tricky. Forget the rest, they are just a bunch of drunkards!"
The burly man had a look of surprise on his face: "We are just experts at escorting this batch of valuable goods, but the Guo family is too bad! It's a shame that I brought so many people here, it's just overkill."
The lean man sneered: "The Guo family was barely a big family in Zhengcheng, Yuyang County in the early years. Although they had some background, in recent years, because they have offended their owners, the shops they run have been suppressed everywhere.
I’m overwhelmed, what kind of experts can I recruit?”
"This woman is an idiot and doesn't know how to appreciate others. She even tried to save her family with this batch of goods. Little did she know that by the time she returned to Zhengcheng, those creditors had already come to her door!" the burly man sneered.
"Huh, if you offend the master, the Guo family will be finished!" The lean man snorted.
After learning the details of the caravan, the burly man made a decisive decision: "Sun Chao, you take fifty brothers to detour behind them and block them. I will take the rest of my men to the front to cover them. If I take action here, you will use rockets as soon as possible.
Burn their goods and make them lose money and money!"
"Understood, when the time comes, strip this woman Guo Xiuyun naked and send it to the master, hehe!" The lean man had a lewd and evil look on his face.
The burly man laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You kid, you are so bad."
But they didn't know that the conversation they just had was like the wind, quietly blowing into Lu Chen's ears.
The mind is like a mirror, reflecting everything. At this point, he can clearly sense the movement within a hundred feet. Moreover, he has already gained some understanding of the mystery of the wind of all things, allowing him to understand the movement around him.
Stillness perception is more acute.
"I thought these people were some kind of bandits, planning to take advantage of the situation, but I didn't expect they had ulterior motives!" Lu Chen thought to himself and smiled calmly.
From nightfall to midnight, it was still very calm. After about a cup of tea, a slight vibration began to appear on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the movement became louder and louder, as if countless war horses were galloping towards them in the night.
Lu Chen gently patted Heizi, who was sleeping like a dead pig: "Stop sleeping, someone is attacking!"
Heizi was sleeping soundly. His good dream was disturbed by Lu Chen. He felt unhappy. He wiped his eyes and looked around. It was pitch black and he didn't see anything.
He said to Lu Chen angrily: "It's so late at night, what are you yelling about? I didn't even see a hair of the movement!"
Lu Chen smiled helplessly and said nothing.
Heizi threw a few dry firewood into the fire and said with resentment, "I hate it when people disturb others' dreams!"
Just at this moment, wow, a burning rocket pierced the night sky, came through the sky at a very fast speed, and nailed one of the carriages of the caravan. With a bang, the carriage jumped up with blazing flames.
Seeing this scene, Heizi was so frightened that he quickly stood up and shouted: "Brothers, get up quickly, the enemy is attacking!"
"what happened!"
"Why is there a fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire, there are bandits!"
With this shout, the entire camp's guards woke up. They all drew their swords and quickly gathered around the caravan. Some of them jumped directly onto the carriage and hurriedly put out the fire.
"Brothers, kill!"
"Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
When the first shot was fired, there was a fierce sound of horse hooves like the sound of war drums. Suddenly, dozens of masked men rushed out of the dark night, holding up the long gleaming knives in their hands. They rode straight towards the caravan and rushed towards them crazily.
.
As soon as the gangsters in front showed up, forty or fifty masked men rushed out from behind the caravan, most of them were archers. They stood not far away with their bows and arrows ready, and wildly fired rockets at the caravan.
When this first wave of rockets pierced the night sky and shot across the sky, it was like a shower of meteors and fire, covering more than half of the caravan.
When she heard someone shouting for a sneak attack outside, Guo Xiuyun, who was sleeping in the carriage, was suddenly awakened. When she rushed out of the carriage, she saw fires burning everywhere in the caravan, the official road was bright, and the whole scene was in chaos, shouting to kill.
The sound is everywhere.
When Guo Xiuyun saw this scene, her pretty face turned pale, and her heart dropped to the lowest point.
The carriages were piled with silk, which would ignite when exposed to fire. If such a big fire burned in the caravan, only a few strands would be left, which would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Guo family.
"Miss, get out of the way!" A rocket was fired at Guo Xiuyun from a distance. The old housekeeper who was directing the fire fighting from behind was shocked. The afterimage of his whole body flashed and he rushed directly in front of Sister Guo Xiuyun. He clamped the sharp sword like lightning.
Only then did his master escape.
Guo Xiuyun looked cold and said angrily: "What's going on!"
"It's something bad, someone is attacking us!" Wang Feng, the old butler, said anxiously.
Guo Xiuyun said anxiously: "Where's Dong Qiu? Let him bring his guards to stop that man."
Some bandits!"
"There are too many people on the other side, I guess we can't stop them!" The old housekeeper glanced at the surrounding situation and was extremely shocked and angry.
Guo Xiuyun clenched her pink fist and gritted her teeth and said: "We must fight to the death to keep this batch of goods, otherwise, our Guo family will be doomed!"
"Miss, run away! Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!" the old housekeeper tried hard to persuade.
Guo Xiuyun looked at the scene where the caravan was shrouded in raging fire, and his eyes were red with anger: "Why run away? Without this batch of goods, what shame do we have to go back to our hometown!"
"Hey, Miss, you are too stubborn!" The old housekeeper sighed with a bitter look on his face.
Guo Xiuyun said anxiously: "Lao Wang, don't be stunned, stop them quickly!"
At this moment, the entire caravan was in chaos. Screams, cries for help, and cries for death were all intertwined, and a shadow enveloped the entire caravan.
This group of ruthless bandits obviously came well prepared. Not only did they block the front and rear routes, they also attacked the caravan with rockets. There were enemy attacks and fires, and the guards were all in chaos.
The guard commander Dong Qiu was still calm, and while organizing the coachmen to put out the fire, he led the guards towards the group of ruthless bandits of unknown origin.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they started fighting crazily.
However, there were many enemies, and the guards were weak and unable to make much of a splash.
The gangsters seemed to have devoured the caravan, and they charged wildly on horseback. Wherever they went, the guards fell one after another like cut wheat, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood flowing everywhere.
land.
The guard commander Dong Qiu kicked down a war horse, jumped up, and slashed hard at the burly man in the lead with the sword in his hand.
"If you dare to mess with me, you're going to die!" the leader of the burly man roared, brandishing a spear and stabbing it out like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole.
The moment the weapons came into contact, the guard commander felt a strange spiral force coming from the opponent's spear, and the force on the knife was completely transferred.
The burly man took the opportunity to swing his gun hard and hit the guard commander hard on the chest. With a click, the sound of broken bones was heard. The terrifying force directly knocked Dong Qiu away and hit him on the ground. Blood spurted out from his mouth. His whole body was completely exhausted.
Can't move anymore.
"You bastard, how dare you kill me? You don't overestimate your own capabilities. There is a gap between acquired masters and masters!" The burly man waved his long skirt with a ferocious smile on his face.
Dong Qiu, who was seriously injured, looked ashen and his clothes were dyed red with blood. Looking at the messy scene, his eyes were filled with despair.
The burly man looked around the audience and laughed wildly: "Haha, brothers, kill all the men and keep the women!"
"Okay, kill them all!"
"Haha, leave no one behind!"
The shouts of the bandits echoed throughout the caravan, making it feel like hell on earth.
Not far away, Heizi was stunned when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Even the commander can't stop the devil. Our caravan is over and everyone will die!"
Lu Chen said: "I warned you a long time ago, but you don't believe it!"
"What's the use of saying all this? It's already too late!" Heizi fell to his knees weakly, his face full of despair.
"That's not necessarily true!" Lu Chen smiled lightly, and then slowly walked towards the gangsters in front.
