Xie Ming

Chapter 72: One dead and one injured

Xiao Jingchuan waited for a long time under a big willow tree in the southwest of the town, and finally saw Gu Changting return.

"General, general!"

Chang Ting ran back quickly from the junction of the big willow tree and the southern forest. Presumably, at this moment, the seven groups of troops sent out had formed a small encirclement here.

"General, Peizhong and his seven teams are already in ambush!"

"Just wait for the bandit scouts to arrive!" Gu Changting reported breathlessly.

"Yeah, okay!" Xiao Jingchuan replied neatly.

After he finished speaking, he didn't delay any longer. He suddenly raised Xu Jialin's three-eyed old fire gun towards the sky and lit it!

Not to mention the three of them, even the Xu family members who were waiting on the mountain road a little further away had already become impatient!
Just wait for three loud blasts from the musket, then pay the ransom!

呲呲呲!
The fire fuse was crackling and was about to burn into the barrel of the gun. To prevent it from exploding, Xiao Lang held it as far away from his head as possible, tilted his body and squinted to watch!
But just when everyone was looking forward to it, suddenly, there was a "puff" sound!
This damn thing actually fired a dud! !
That little sound is not much louder than a fart!
Xiao Jingchuan was completely speechless! Qiu and Gu were also stunned! This is nonsense!
Xiao Lang had no choice but to turn around and ask.

"Changting, have you brought my pistol?!"

Gu Changting did not reply, but took out the pistol from his waist and handed it to his general.

Bang, bang, bang!
Three explosions were heard, resounding through the sky like thunder. The people from the Xu family were all stunned!

"Good fellow! Jialin, who are you looking for?"

"This kid has his own weapon! Oh my god! Is he here to rob his fellow thieves?"

"Jia Lin, Jia Lin, I really misjudged you this time!"

"Just admit your defeat!" Xu Jialu was shocked but did not forget to mock.

The words are divided into two parts.

On Xiao Jingchuan's side, after firing three shots, he continued to load ammunition into his pistol.

"Feiyu (Qiu Zhizhong), Changting, the two of you should hide in the gap near the graveyard!"

"Seeing so many people, I'm afraid the bandits will be hesitant!"

"Go quickly!" Xiao Lang ordered.

"General, we have never dealt with these bandits before, so we don't know their strength. You can't put yourself in danger. I'll guard here for you, and you and Mr. Qiu can go ahead and take cover!" Gu Changting's concerns were actually not unreasonable.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

"The Xu family is watching over there! Can you stop embarrassing me all the time?!"

"Hurry up, get out of here!"

After he finished speaking and loaded the gunpowder, Xiao Lang skillfully put the pistol behind his waist and covered it with his clothes.

Qiu and Gu had no choice but to obey the order and hurriedly ran to the mountain cave, hiding their whereabouts.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Jingchuan waited in the original place, only to see him squinting his eyes and looking towards the junction of the mountain and the forest.

Suddenly!

Xiao Lang's pupils shrank. There seemed to be unusual movement at the edge of a forest in the southwest direction!

Soon, five chestnut horses were led out.

When we reached the flat ground, the shallow grass was yellow and dry, barely covering the horse's hooves.

The five dark-skinned men who came out with him each got on their horses, and two of them galloped straight to where Xiao Jingchuan was! The rest stayed where they were, as if to provide support.

Da Da Da Da Da
From far away, two black bandits rushed over the hill and arrived in front of Xiao Lang in a blink of an eye.

Then, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed!
The bandit ran up to him, reined in his horse and stopped, and a fierce and murderous aura rushed towards him!

"Bah!"

"You little bastard! Were you the one who fired the gun?!" One of the two bandits, a round-faced and bearded man, shouted viciously.

"That's right!"

"We want to redeem Xu Hongwen from the Xu family in Jiulong Town!"

"The ransom is five thousand taels. Here is the note. Please take a look, my two heroes!"

Xiao Lang spoke calmly, neither servile nor overbearing. This behavior surprised the two bandits who came over, and they looked at each other.

"What a fair-faced brat, seeing us men, there is no fear on your face!"

While joking, the bearded man drew out his knife, and with the back of the knife tip, he took the banknote into his hand.

"Wow! Haha, the Xu family is really good!"

"For a girl, he is willing to pay five thousand taels. Haha, if I had known this, I would have tied up a few more of them!"

"Hahaha"

The two mountain bandits flirted with each other at will.

"My two good men, I'll give you the banknotes!"

"I wonder when Miss Hongwen will be back?" Xiao Jingchuan reminded.

"kindness?"

"Little pretty boy, did I give you face?"

"Do you have the right to interrupt us men when we are talking?!" the bearded man said angrily.

"roll!"

"I'll count to three, close my eyes and shoot in the direction you're running!"

"If I don't kill you, even if you're lucky enough to survive, I won't shoot you a second time!"

Next to the round-faced bearded bandit was a square-faced man with drooping eyes, and his expression now looked sinister.

When Xiao Jingchuan heard this, he did not move for a moment, but stared at the two of them.

"One, two"

The square-faced bandit with droopy eyes began to count with gritted teeth, and he quietly told him to slowly raise the musket in his hand!

Xiao Lang knew that he couldn't escape at this moment.

At such a close distance, any dodging would inevitably leave flaws. It seemed that the only thing we could do was to compete on shooting speed!
Then he took a deep breath slowly.

Suddenly, when the square-faced bandit was about to say "three", Xiao Lang suddenly stepped forward and twisted his waist!
He grabbed the pistol at his waist!

With another turn of the body, the bullet from the short gun barrel was shot out at high speed!
Go straight to the center of the forehead on a square face!

Bang! A shot!
The square-faced bandit fell off his horse in response, and he looked as if he could no longer be dead!
The bearded man next to him was shocked!
He had never expected that such a sticky situation would occur, so he just drew his sword and did not raise his gun in advance!
It's too late to regret now if you try to catch him!
I heard another loud bang from Xiao Lang's side, hitting the bearded man's right shoulder.

The impact of the bullet directly knocked him off his horse, and he fell on his back on the ground!
"Ah! Ah"

The bearded man just cried out in fear and pain, and before he could move, Xiao Jingchuan had already rushed up and stepped on the muzzle of the gun!

"Tell me! Is Hong Wen, who was abducted by you, dead or alive now?!"

While Xiao Lang was scolding, he twisted his foot hard!
"Oh! Spare my life, my good man! Spare my life!"

"I, I say, I say!"

"Then, that girl is alive! She's alive!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan eased his footing a little.

"If you don't stay with your girlfriend overnight, you'll kill her! Isn't this the rule in your Ma Dazhai?"

"How dare you bluff me?!" Xiao Lang repeated, wanting to force him one more time to test the truth of his words.

"Hey, hey! My dear, I dare not, I dare not!"

"Ben, we originally kidnapped the girls in the village. If we spent the night with them, we would not be paid, so we would ask the brothers to take turns to have sex with them. Those with weak bodies would be killed immediately. As for those who were resistant, we would not spare them and would just chop them up with a knife!"

"But, but this girl, she looks hippie and tender, and she's good looking!"

"So last night, Ma Dabanzi slept with the girl himself, and thought that this girl was pretty good, and it would be a pity to kill her, so he didn't let us touch her, and kept her as his wife!"

"I, I'm sure that at least when we first came out, the person was still alive and well!"
