Chapter 19: Encountering Bandits

The few flickering lights in the forest made Li Jing's heart tremble.

Li Jing studied literature since he was a child, and later practiced martial arts with his brother, and in his spare time, he also followed his brother to hunt in the mountains with a bow on his back. He is quick to react and sharp-eyed. The flickering light just now, he recognized at first glance that it was the light reflected from the tip of the blade. And strangely enough, the light was not a point, but a count.

That's not a person, and it can't be Orion.

It was not Orion and there was more than one person, and they were hiding in the forest behind Congren with a knife, who were they, Li Jing had immediately come to a conclusion in his heart.

Mountain bandits, horse thieves!

Qingning Township has always been relatively wealthy because of its proximity to the sea and an excellent seaport like Chishanpu. Not only are the local people richer than other places in the Central Plains, but also because of Chishanpu, there are merchants from all over the world all year round. There is a prosperous harbor, the people are rich, and there are more merchants, which naturally attracts those horse thieves and mountain bandits.

Although the imperial court built the Chishan Military Town in Chishanpu, it still couldn't stop those outlaws who took risks. Although there is a garrison in the area of Qingning Township, there are no large bandits in the vicinity. However, there are still many bandits who often wander around to commit crimes, most of them are in the mountains and forests of other counties and townships, and then they come to commit crimes from time to time. Ticket kidnapping and robbery also occur from time to time.

It is precisely because of this that Wangli Village, such as Wangli Village, is built as a village wall and village gate, and there are village guards who take turns to defend. Li Jing had heard many stories about these bandits in the past, but he didn't expect to encounter them today. What's worse is that the person who came is not good. There were twelve of them, and there were a few horses and donkeys, but the other party dared to make up their minds, which showed that this group of people was not small.

Li Jing guessed in his heart that the other party might have regarded them as a caravan. The twelve of them, Li Jing and Wang Xiaowei all have horses, and Wang Zuo and Wang Liang also have mules. In addition, five donkeys, as well as more than 200 silk horses for equipment and money collected by the villagers, as well as some local products, the five donkeys were full. And the twelve of them, except for Captain Wang and Li Jing, who had a horizontal knife hanging on their waists, the others were all empty-handed, and it was easy for people to mistake them for caravan bearers at a glance.

Li Jing judged that the other party was a bandit at the first time, but he was not 100% sure. He didn't shout, and he was afraid of being mistaken. But he knocked down the little stone and Qiusheng as soon as possible, and he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it was always right to be more careful. As for the others, Li Jing can't take care of them for the time being.

In the forest opposite, there were about a dozen people hidden. Everyone is dressed in short brown beards, carrying knives, guns, clubs, and all kinds of weapons, all of them are fierce and vicious.

"Big boss, they seem to have discovered us, you see, the white-faced one and the other two are lying down."

"it!" The guy who is called the big boss is extremely thin, with bulging cheekbones, and a monkey cheek. What's even more peculiar is that this person is obviously a big man in his forties, but he is wearing a set of blue women's wedding dresses, so that the whole person is not only extremely ugly, but also nondescript.

"Big boss, rob them. This is a flock of fat sheep, you see, they have two horses, two mules, and six donkeys, and six loads of goods. A scar-faced bandit whispered, his eyes full of greed.

The monkey-cheeked boss in a woman's clothes hesitated, shook his head and said, "We're not here to catch sheep this time, but we have to be helped by the heroes of 'Zhendonghai'." This section is extraneous, I'm afraid of mistaking the right thing. If it's going to break the 'Zhendonghai' thing, we can't afford it. The big boss also wanted to rob this group of fat sheep in his heart, but he was a little worried about other things.

The scarred face was obviously a little unwilling, his eyes rolled around, and he immediately came up with a plan and said: "Of course, I also know that the matter of Donghai in Ludao Town is important, but you see that the fat cha has discovered us now, if you let them go, I am afraid that they will go to Chishan Town to report the news." That's the real bad thing. Let's go down and kill these people, it's not a robbery, but it saves us from leaking the news of the big things that Zhen Donghai is going to do. ”

Hearing this, Monkey Cheek Face moved in his heart, and his sharp mouth couldn't help grinning, and he slapped Scarface on the shoulder with a big hand, "What the second master said is right, we don't have to do this deal in Xihuo Village, we are really worried that the news will be leaked, so we have to do it as a last resort." Haha, brethren, it's open. ”

Li Jing's heart fluctuated, and at this moment he felt that he suddenly trembled for a while, and he couldn't help it.

He thought of the worst, would he die here? Is he really going to die? Or was it a dream in the first place, and now it's finally time to wake up from the end of the dream?

His heart was beating violently, lying on the ground, and Li Jing could even hear the thumping sound in his chest.

Suddenly, he thought of the Han family, the widowed sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, and the two sisters, the fourth sister and the fifth sister, and in addition, there was Gui Niang and Wan'er, who had become his wife and concubines. Originally, although he respected the Han family and them very much on the surface, in his heart he thought that it was the duty of this body. Until this moment, he suddenly felt that he was reluctant to let everyone in the Li family go, he couldn't bear Gui Niang and Wan'er, he didn't want to die like this, or he didn't want to wake up from this dream.

Qiusheng and Xiaoshi were still struggling in confusion, and the other Housheng, who were packing their things and preparing to go on the road, also turned their heads, not understanding what was happening. Wang Liang looked at Li Jing and the three of them lying on the ground in an ugly posture, and couldn't help but sneer. was about to say a few bad words about Li Jing to Captain Wang and Zhang Zuo, but he was dazed to find that Captain Wang, who had wilted all the way, suddenly opened his eyes wide and bright. The whole person was like a leopard that suddenly woke up, and his whole body collapsed.

Cangchang! Captain Wang suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and shouted: "Get down!" ”

Wang Liang turned his head and saw a woman in a turquoise wedding dress running out of the forest.

No, no, the woman had a knife in her hand, and she looked so ugly, as if she still had a beard. Which family's daughter is this, how can anyone marry her if she looks so ugly? Countless chaotic thoughts suddenly flashed through Wang Liang's mind.

Then, more people ran out of the forest. A man with a large hideous scar on his face suddenly opened his bow and the bow was pulled away, and then

At this time, Wang Liang finally understood what Captain Wang meant by suddenly shouting to lie down, and finally understood the reason for Li Jing's strange action before.

"Damn, they've run into bandits." Wang Liang only had time to scold fiercely in his heart, and then he felt that his left shoulder was suddenly hit by a strong force, and the whole person fell to the ground like a goose.

The ass came into close contact with the earth, and the hard earth almost made his ass bloom. But at this moment, there was a more severe pain in his shoulder, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bright feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder. The arrow was deep into the flesh, and a line of bright red had already flowed, staining the gray round-necked robe he had worn for the first time today.

The sudden arrow and the severe pain made Wang Liang's brain suddenly explode, and at this moment, he was extremely frightened in his heart and completely overwhelmed. Lying on the ground, he screamed in horror like a hunt.

"Help! Help me! Help me"
