Cai Yong was talking about poetry and poetry with Wei Zhongdao in the carriage, and the comfort of this carriage was far less than the one given to him by Liu Xin, but seeing that he had left the boundary of Jingzhou, Cai Yong's interest also became stronger.

This caravan also had more than 100 guards, and the guards saw the smoke and dust rising from behind, and hurriedly reported to Wei Zhongdao.

Wei Zhongdao said to Cai Yong: "Sir, there is a large group of cavalry coming from behind, I don't know who it is, or let's find a place to avoid it first." ”

Cai Yong also stuck his head out of the car window and looked back, and sure enough, he saw a stream of dust and smoke speeding behind him, getting closer and closer to them, and hurriedly said: "Liu Xin has a flying tiger guard, all of them are cavalry. These people are menacing, they must have noticed that I was gone, and chased after me, so let's hide quickly. ”

"Mr. is right, I think so too, Liu Xin is a villain, if he catches up, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not kill the killer. But don't be afraid of him, this is already past Jingzhou, and it is the boundary of Yingchuan. Although Wei Zhongdao said this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he saw a mountain col in front of him, he pointed with his hand and instructed the guards, "Quickly, all hide there." ”

Wei Zhongdao is smug, this mountain pass is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the gallop of the cavalry, although there are not many guards under his command, but all of them are strong in martial arts, and it should be easy to deal with a few ordinary officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, not long after they entered the col, they heard a "whistle", and many people poured out at the end of the col and on both sides of the hillside, but it was a group of bandits!

The first big man, dressed in black, holding an iron rod, laughed: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to hit this passing, leave to buy road money!" ”

Cai Yong and Wei Zhongdao were suddenly shocked, there were bandits in front and chasing soldiers in the back, how could this be good. All the guards looked at Wei Zhongdao together, he was the leader of the caravan, and it was up to him to fight or not. However, these guards understand that looking at this posture, there are more than 1,000 bandits, and they also occupy a favorable location, and if they fight, they may not be able to please them.

Wei Zhongdao was in front of Cai Yong's family, it was not good to be a turtle with a shrunken head, so he stepped out of the carriage and said to the big man: "This good man, we are the caravan of the Wei family in Hedong, we are going to Luoyang, and we want to borrow a road, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

The big man smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, don't be wordy, I don't care who you are, if you want to live, leave the money and women behind, and let you live." ”

Wei Zhongdao hesitated a little, if these thieves just wanted money, then he pinched his nose and admitted it, after all, he was outnumbered and his life was important, but there were only two women in this team, that is, Mrs. Cai and Cai Yan's mother and daughter, he couldn't help but glance at the carriage behind, and said to He Man: "Good man, even if you want money, we don't have women here." ”

He Man pointed to the two carriages and said, "What's on the cart?" ”

Wei Zhongdao was anxious, casually lied, and said: "The front is the car under the car, and the car behind is some forage." ”

He Man sneered: "What about coaxing a three-year-old child, do you have such a good carriage to load forage?" ”

The surrounding bandits burst into laughter. Mrs. Cai's mother and daughter were in the car, and they were so frightened that they shrank into a ball and didn't dare to move.

He Man waved his hand and said to the bandits: "Little ones, go to the carriage and see what kind of forage it is. ”

A few minions shouted and rushed to the carriage, and the caravan guards hurried to the front. Wei Zhongdao turned his head and saw that the smoke and dust behind him were getting closer and closer, and suddenly became proud, and said to He Man: "Good man, why rush to kill everything, everyone give way." Didn't you see that the officers and soldiers of the brigade were about to arrive? ”

He Man pointed behind Wei Zhongdao with his hand and laughed: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, are they officers and soldiers?" ”

Before Wei Zhongdao turned back, the rear team was in chaos. His caravan went to Xiangyang only to explore the way, and did not carry any goods, and there were only twenty or thirty people on horseback, and the rest were on foot, and there were no chariots to block the road. The cavalry quickly rushed into their ranks, and when Wei Zhongdao took a closer look, there were officers and soldiers, and it was clear that they were also a group of bandits, about a hundred horsemen.

It turned out that these more than 100 horsemen couldn't get such a big smoke, who expected, one of these thieves who was well-informed, found a branch and tied it to the horse's tail, and from a distance, it seemed that there were hundreds of thousands of people, which really frightened Wei Zhongdao and his party and hid in this mountain col.

These people are all scattered Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, who have fallen into this mountain forest and become bandits. But the bandits are not so easy to be, and they are still without food and clothing, and their lives are very difficult. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in caravans between Luoyang and Jingzhou, which has attracted the attention of these bandits. As early as when Wei Zhongdao and they had just left Xiangyang, they were targeted by the ears and eyes sent by the bandits and followed them all the way. But the bandits did not dare to do anything in Jingzhou, because they knew that Liu Xin was powerful, and the remnants of the Nanyang Yellow Turban tried to flee to Yingchuan several times, but they were all exterminated. But the bandits also knew that Liu Xin had an advantage, that is, he would not cross the border to use troops, so after crossing the boundary of Jingzhou, the bandits gathered unscrupulously and organized cavalry to drive the caravan into the ambush circle.

The bandit cavalry rushed in with a "whistle" and divided the caravan into two sections. Wei Qun, the captain of the caravan's guard, grew up in the Wei family, and was loyal to the Wei family, but he was a man with a blood surname. Seeing that the situation was not good, he was concerned about Wei Zhongdao's safety, gritted his teeth, shouted, pulled out a steel knife, and brought more than 20 people to greet him.

Although the group of bandits who came from behind were riding horses, they were not serious cavalrymen, and when they saw this, they jumped off their horses one after another and fought with the guards. These guards of the caravan were indeed extraordinary, and those bandits were originally a rabble, but they were not their opponents in a hurry, and they were killed and retreated, leaving more than a dozen corpses behind in the blink of an eye.

Wei Qun killed his surname, took off his robe outside, only wore a small coat, slashed left and right, and forced himself to kill a way behind, shouting loudly: "Son, go away!" ”

He Man didn't expect things to happen so abruptly, he was immediately furious, pointed the iron rod in his hand to the sky, and shouted: "Little ones, give me a ride, don't let one go!" ”

Suddenly, the bandits rushed down the hillside one after another, rushing to the caravan like a tide, and started a melee with the caravan guards at the entrance of the mountain pass.

Although there were more than 100 caravan guards, and many of them had martial arts, very few had really experienced such a bloody scene. On the other hand, the bandits are different, they have been fighting hard with the officials and soldiers for more than half a year, and they have all tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers.

Wei Qun shouted, "Childe, get in the car." ”

Wei Zhongdao stood under the car and tried several times but couldn't climb up.

When Wei Qun saw it, he was about to step forward to help him, but he found that the coachman didn't know where to hide, and knew that today was really dangerous, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he rushed to Wei Zhongdao with all his might, pulled his horse, helped him up, and whipped it hard on the horse's ass with the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Childe, run!" ”

Wei Zhongdao is usually pampered, where has he ridden a horse, at this time, in order to survive, he can't care about anything, even Cai Yong's family has long been left behind, holding the horse's mane tightly with both hands, lying on the horse's back, only hearing the sound of the wind in his ears, he has already been frightened.

The horse's ass ached, and he ran out of the col happily, and the thieves couldn't stop it for a while. Seeing that Wei Zhongdao was about to break out of the encirclement, Wei Qun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and with just this stunned effort, he was stabbed in the back. But I saw a thief who didn't know what to take out of his arms, and only threw it on the ground in front of Wei Zhongdao's horse, and the horse ran out without a few steps, when suddenly the man stood up, and with a long neigh, Wei Zhongdao fell to the ground, struggling but couldn't get up again. The thieves rushed up and put their knives on Wei Zhongdao's neck, dragging him up from the ground.

When Wei Qun saw Wei Zhongdao being arrested, he sighed, threw away the waist knife in his hand, and was arrested. Seeing that the general situation had gone, the guards also threw away their swords and guns one after another, and no longer resisted.

He Man took the iron rod and walked to Wei Qun first, and said: "Boy, you can fight, you have injured many of my brothers, let's say, how do you want to die?" ”

Wei Qun suffered at least six or seven injuries on his body, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, glaring angrily at He Man without saying a word.

He Man sneered and said, "It's a tough guy, then let you die a heroic death." After speaking, he raised the iron rod and "whew" at Wei Qun's head, Wei Qun didn't even snort, and fell to the ground, the whole head had been smashed to pieces, and his brain burst to the ground.

Where had Wei Zhongdao seen such a miserable scene, he was so frightened that his legs trembled, only to see He Man walking towards him step by step with a bloody stick, and couldn't help but feel a spirit, a stream of heat flowed out of his lower body, and his legs were already wet.

Seeing his cowardice, He Man couldn't help laughing, stretched out a big hand, gently picked him up, dragged him to the side of the two carriages, put the iron rod on his head, and asked, "Boy, how old are you, why are you still peeing your pants?" If you don't eat the toast just now, you want to eat the penalty wine. Say, what's in the car? ”

Wei Zhongdao suddenly weakened his legs, knelt on the ground, and said, "The king spares his life!" The villain is willing to give all the money he brings to the king, and there is a mother and daughter in the car behind, both of whom are born with extraordinary beauty, and the villain dedicates them all to the king, only asking the king to spare the villain's surname. ”

Mrs. Cai's mother and daughter were trembling in the car, and when they heard the shouts of killing outside, they still didn't dare to look out of the car. When I first heard He Man say that Wei Zhongdao peed his pants, he knew that the guards outside must have been defeated, so he was a little desperate. Unexpectedly, when he heard Wei Zhongdao say that he wanted to sacrifice their mother and daughter to this bandit, he was immediately frightened.

Cai Yong also heard the car in front of him clearly, and he jumped out of the car desperately, pointing to Wei Zhong who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You, you, you ......" couldn't pick it up in one breath, and fainted in a hurry.
