Chapter 551: Robbery

North of the Yangtze River, on the wasteland, next to a bare tree on a sandy hillock, Xiao, Gu and Yue were the unlucky ones. Their carriage was wrecked and they were at a loss for a moment. So they simply rested there and waited until they had eaten and drunk enough before continuing their journey.

During this time, two generals, Xiao Long, came to sit beside them. To boost their morale, they paid out of their own pockets to find a few yellow-skinned, red-fleshed grapes to chew as a snack.

At this moment, the three brothers were biting the wind and sand with great enthusiasm!
Not far behind the slope, there was a faint sound of birds singing.

If you listen carefully, it's really weird.

Xiao didn't care at all.

But after a while, the bird started singing again.

Xiao Jingchuan was speechless and turned his head to complain to Yue Xiu.

"Hey, Yue Xiu, is this the person you secretly arranged?!" Xiao Xian was impatient.

"Ah, yes, exactly."

Upon hearing this, Yue Xiu quickly raised his face from the fruit flesh, with a look of surprise on his face. Seeing Xiao Lang's impatience, he replied politely.

But his cheeks were stained with the flesh of the grapes, looking blood-red and sticky with honey, which made him look ridiculous.

After he finished speaking, he looked back at Xiao Lang, who was spitting out seeds from his mouth and mumbling again.

"Next time, when you Jinyiwei come out to monitor the secret sentry, can you try a different method of communication?"

“I keep imitating the bird’s call, but I still can’t imitate it well enough.”

"Just listening to it makes me worried!" Xiao You complained in his heart.

Hearing this, Yue Xiu didn't say anything more. He just smiled bitterly and awkwardly, and didn't say anything.

But just as they were talking, Changting on the other side seemed to have made another discovery suddenly.

Immediately, Chang Ting reached out and patted Xiao Lang on the shoulder.

"Uh, General, Yue Xiuhua."

"Do your Jinyiwei who come out as secret scouts usually pretend to be bandits or mountain bandits?!"

Gu Changting suddenly said this without any context. Not only was Yue Xiu stunned, Xiao Lang was also filled with question marks.

"Ah? No, how could that be?"

"Why are you pretending to be a bandit? It's too conspicuous."

"You are always good at joking, Mr.

Yue Xiu was puzzled for a moment, but he stared at him and replied with this sentence.

But when Xiao Jingchuan reacted, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Without waiting for him to ask, Chang Ting stared blankly, raised his hand and pointed to the other side.

"So, what's going on here?"

Following the pointing, Xiao and Yue, who were totally unaware of what was happening, raised their eyes to look.

But in a blink of an eye, everything seemed too late and it was too late to hide.

Not far behind another earth slope, at this moment, a whistle was heard and a cavalry suddenly appeared.

Squinting my eyes, I saw that he was dressed like a bandit with swords and axes drawn.

Just a moment before the interruption, a group of horse bandits came towards this side. It was obvious that Xiao, Gu and Yue could no longer hide.

In less than a moment!
The bandits took the path to the rutted part and swarmed in front of the crooked bald tree, raising a cloud of dust behind them.

"Uu——"

"Shut up!"

"spit!"

"Second in command, we've already run away!"

"The dart team hasn't arrived yet!"

A few horses ahead of the bandits came a skinny man with unkempt hair, with a rusty axe for chopping wood on his waist. He followed his horse, spat out two mouthfuls of sand from his mouth, and hurriedly pointed to the leader, a fat man with a fat face, pointing to a small path on the side where they came from.

The fat man in the lead had pockmarked face, thick flesh on his cheeks, and a fierce look in his eyes.

After he rode his horse into the temple, he first stared towards the bald tree.

Later, he turned his head and looked at the broken car beside him. The unlucky Xiao, Gu, and Yue were dishevelled and embarrassed, each holding a fruit in his hand, with a red and sticky mouth, looking very unhappy.

So, the fierce bandit snorted coldly, showing great disdain, and just turned his attention to the other side.

He didn't take the three people squatting under the tree where Xiao Lai was at all seriously!
It makes no sense!

After a while, there was no time to rest on the progress.

Suddenly, on the path along the road, turning around a hillside, I gradually heard the sound of shouting and killing coming from far away.

In an instant, another large group of people approached this side!
Looking over there, there were several boxes on the first few carriages, with dart flags stuck on sticks on the sides.

Many people fled forward in panic.

Behind him, there was another group of mounted bandits, shouting evilly, waving their weapons, and driving people towards this side.

Some of the escorts fell behind, some had no horses and could not run fast, and some were left alone. One by one, with terrified looks on their faces, they were killed by the bandits and became their dead souls.

"hey-hey!"

"Second in command, here he comes! Here he comes!"

"Hit, hit the one running in the lead, the fat guy on the white horse, it must be him!"

The skinny man with a bird's nest head had cunning eyes and a sharp voice. He pointed at the target and spoke incoherently, as if he had set his target.

Following the sound, the second in command stopped talking and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

"Damn it, I finally found him!"

"Come on, follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded, and a group of rabble who had just stopped here, shouting and making noises, were so numerous that they had no idea of ​​how to fight, and they just swarmed forward to block the escort team that was coming here.
Come like the wind, go like the wind
A chaotic group of horse bandits came roaring in, chattering and then left roaring again.

Under the bare tree, only three unlucky guys, Xiao, Gu and Yue, were left. They stared at each other in confusion.

Puff, puff.
After the outsiders left, he paused for a moment, then spat out the fruit core left in his cheek with a "one, two, three" sound, and finally had something to say.

"Uh, general."

"Did those bastards just now think highly of the three of us?!"

"You're not a robber, why didn't you even ask?!"

Chang Ting was stunned and spoke in a daze. After hearing what he said, he was quite surprised and even felt a little disappointed.

Xiao Jingchuan was speechless, and the short man was also suspicious. He quickly wiped his chest with his hands a few times to find out the reason.

"Um, the Duke."

"So are we in danger now?"

"Should I call those people out, or..."

Yue Xiu also came back to his senses after hearing the voice, and was about to say something but stopped. His expression was complicated and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Definitely!"

"Pull it down."

"It's not even embarrassing enough."

"Let's see first."

Xiao Lang was furious, because of the inexplicable experience he had just had, and he felt suffocated in his chest.

at the same time
There were three people under the bald tree, looking forward with their eyes raised.

I saw a group of people gathered together not far away, and it was a huge mess.

A chaotic fight with weapons.

Lin finally went, and there were about twenty people guarding the escort vehicle. The situation was critical and the casualties were still increasing.

The group of bandits who were blocking both ends had the advantage because they had about 20 to 30 horses.

It won't take long.

Amid the chaos, a few more people broke through.

The first one was a fat man on a white horse, dressed in a gorgeous robe.
