Chapter 9: Rabble [Good morning, traverser!] 】

Good spirits do not work, bad spirits.

Bai Yuanjie thought all the way not to meet bandits, but they hurried slowly on the road, and when they crossed the Black Ridge, they still dragged until it was dark, and they wanted to stay in the mountains overnight, which made everyone nervous.

Everyone found a mountain col in the Black Ridge, tied the carriage and horses and camped on the spot, lit a bonfire and sat aside to eat some dry food, Zhang Yongshou looked at the appearance of everyone as if they were facing a great enemy and smiled disapprenously: "If you want me to say that you don't have to be so alarmed, the businessmen who were attacked are only more than ten people and still have the companions to escape, I wait for a group of twenty people, each carrying weapons and even bird guns have four, no, five rods, will you still be afraid of the mountain bandits?" ”

Bai Yuanjie didn't speak, and Chen Mu smiled: "What Zhang Xiaoqi said makes sense, but if you are not afraid, you should be on guard." ”

Chen Mu has a good impression of Zhang Yongshou, but just listening to his words, it is expected that he may not be able to make much achievements in the career of military attache in the future. In fact, now the group is more or less vigilant in their hearts, but Zhang Yongshou is not vigilant at all, and his small flag members are also around the bonfire without the slightest defense. Bai Yuanjie is really vigilant, even this garrison camp is the best place he chose to arrange defenses, there are stones on three sides, even if he is attacked at night, he only needs to guard against one exit in front.

As for Chen Mu? Chen Mu is fake vigilant, really scared.

When he set off for Guangzhou Mansion, he was not mentally prepared enough, and he only felt that even if he encountered bandits along the way, it would not be a big deal. But just when the matter came, even if he hadn't met the bandits yet, just thinking about it would let him know that everything was not as simple as he imagined.

A bandit who kills people without blinking an eye by killing people for money?

Even if he has military experience, Chen Mu is not a psychopath or a madman, and he is not afraid of it.

After eating dry food, he began to be on duty at night, and the six bannermen under his hands all got Chen Mu's instructions, and even the felt that was spread out in his sleep was directly into battle according to the formation in order to maintain the formation in case of a sudden attack. Especially Shao Tingda and Wei Balang, one of their henchmen is on the left and the other is on the right, which allows him to sleep with peace of mind.

Everyone was nervous and stayed up until late before going to sleep, including Bai Yuanjie, although they were all military households, no one had really experienced the war for a long time, but the two bannermen under Shi Qi and Zhang Yongshou and the four Bai family soldiers were a little calm...... They are the ruthless characters who have really killed people.

The sound of rustling in the night woke up Chen Mu, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the dim bonfire reflected Shao Tingda's hand pushing around on his body, Chen Mu opened his mouth and was covered just when he wanted to speak, and heard Shao Tingda whisper: "Brother Mu, there are people in the forest, don't make a sound!" ”

One sentence suddenly sobered up Chen Mu's drowsy mind, and his whole body suddenly tensed, and then he saw Shao Tingda Fu lowered his body and grabbed the knife in his hand, his face was not the silly appearance on weekdays, but full of fierceness, and his eyes looked at the dense forest with danger. Following the direction of Shao Tingda's gaze, Chen Mu saw the three bonfires arranged by Bai Yuanjie on the edge of the camp before going to bed, the bonfires in the middle had been extinguished because no one added firewood, and the bonfires on both sides were also bright and dim, reflecting the dense forest, but in Chen Mu's eyes, he did not see the slightest disturbance.

Although puzzled, seeing that Shao Tingda's appearance did not seem to be a fake, Chen Mu carefully put the fire gun beside him, and covered Wei Balang's mouth with one hand to wake him up softly, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Bai Yuanjie, and actually found that Bai Yuanjie was lying on his side and had already woken up, seeing him looking over, he nodded cautiously, clenched his fist and then made a fourteen gesture, which made Chen Mu's heart frightened.

What does fourteen mean, Bai Yuanjie found out that there were fourteen bandits?

Wei Balang woke up, and his eyes widened when he heard Chen Mu's words, but this half-grown man didn't understand anything, Chen Mu could only see in his eyes the same horror and irrepressible excitement as when he executed the old cripple that day, as if he was a real man after today.

"Don't move later, hide behind and fill me with medicine in the bird's gun, do you hear?"

Otherwise, the dead child was stupid, and he kept nodding his head, as if Chen Mu said that what he wanted to give him was not a bird gun but a jelly bean. This kid doesn't know what fear is at all, and I have to say that although Chen Mu has always felt that Xiao Hachiro is stupid, Wei Hachilang's performance is indeed much better than Chen Mu.

Bai Yuanjie woke up earlier than Chen Mu, and the training of martial arts and family tradition since he was a child made him sleep lighter than others, not to mention that sleeping in the wild made him rest vigilant. Although he was still lying there and did not move, he had already sent a Bai Clan's own soldier to use the cover of the carriage to wake up the few firecrackers under Zhang Yongshou's command, hoping to pull out the second line of defense later.

From the direction where they slept when they rested, Bai Yuanjie's arrangement can be seen, Chen Mu Xiaoqi is seven people on the outermost, in the middle is Bai Yuanjie and four personal soldiers, in the innermost is Zhang Yongshou Xiaoqi eleven people, and between them and Bai Yuanjie, there is a carriage with horses tied on both sides.

Use Chen Ye as a shield!

Chen Mu didn't see any movement here, when Shao Tingda quietly woke up Shi Qi and Chen Guan on the side, Chen Mu stared at the dense forest and finally found that the bushes were moving, and there were indeed figures that appeared from time to time behind him.

"Thieves? Where are the thieves! ”

An exclamation was the shout of Zhang Yongshou's banner when he woke up, and then an arrow shot in the forest, and several ragged figures jumped out of the bush and shouted and rushed out with swords, and suddenly there was a mess in front of and behind him, and there were gunshots and screams from behind!

"Bang!"

"Ahh

In an instant, there was chaos behind the carriage, and a fireman was frightened by the arrows nailed to the carriage and pulled the trigger, and then the firebolt struck his comrades next to him, causing even more confusion.

Chen Mu didn't care about the chaos behind him, Bai Yuanjie's own soldiers were already drawing bows next to the carriage to shoot these rushing bandits, Shao Tingda was carrying a leather wooden shield and a rusty goose feather knife to protect Chen Mu's muscles and muscles, Wei Balang jumped from the felt behind him, quickly lit the fire sickle, and excitedly held the fire rope and handed it to Chen Mu; The two sides were already in a mess, Chen Guan, who was missing his fingers, also lacked courage, dropped the spear and ran towards the place where the horse was tied with his head, Shi Qi held the wooden spear towards Chen Mu, and the old man Zheng, who didn't have time to wake up, closed his eyes and waved the spear behind him because of the sudden shock, Chen Mu's arm was wrapped around the fire rope several times, but he couldn't stuff the dragon head with the fire rope on the bird gun!

A rabble.

There were many people in front of him, and Chen Mu seemed to have returned to the state of the old lame man when he was executed, his mind was empty and his ears were out of order, and he was shouting everywhere but he couldn't hear a sound. The fire rope was inserted into the dragon's head, and the thief who rushed to the front had just been knocked out by Shao Tingda with a shield, and in the blink of an eye, another shadow dance knife flew in.

Raising guns and firing guns, like standard movements that have been honed hundreds of times in Qingyuanwei, have now become instinctive reactions under muscle urgency.

Smoke from the mouth of the gun was filled with black powder, and the howl came to an abrupt end.

He killed!
