Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 182, Section 182: Helping
Lin Hua glared fiercely at Chen Dafu before leading his men into the battle.

Seeing the carriages that were originally so tightly packed with people suddenly exposed, those who had wanted to gather around quickly changed their minds and moved on.

Chen Dafu gritted his teeth and finally led his family to hide next to the oxcart.

Gu Kaiyuan originally wanted to move the car further away, but seeing that the strong men from the Chen family were able to repel the robbers with their sticks, he decided not to change his position.

With them by the side of the carriage, at least they wouldn't be surrounded by enemies.

Bai Suihe secretly peeked through the curtain several times to observe the battle outside. The bandits were quite numerous, but the two escort agencies and their couriers, though slightly outnumbered, were not at a disadvantage.

“It’s already this chaotic before we’ve even reached Lingnan,” Yunni now understands why Gu Kaiyuan sought their help.

"I'm afraid you'll have a hard time on the way, brothers," Gu Kaiyuan said. He saw someone approaching the oxcart, jumped over, killed him with a single stroke, and then returned, leaving Yunni dumbfounded.

"Not bad. If Brother Gu has this kind of skill, why did you come to us?"

Gu Kaiyuan said with a wry smile, "As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone a group of more than a hundred people like this."

I know this trip has been tough on everyone, but don't worry, I won't treat my brothers unfairly.

Yunni said, "These are all negotiable."

Even if you don't trust Gu Kaiyuan, you can trust the Bai family behind him.

As merchants, we dislike making enemies with these江湖人士 (jianghu figures), as it's not a good thing for them.

While dealing with the occasional intruders who happened to wander in, the two of them still had the leisure to chat idly.

The Chen family, who were backed by the carriage, were not so lucky. They were a large group and a big target, so the robbers came one after another to provoke them.

The sticks they wielded could only manage to hurt their opponents, which only emboldened them to retaliate, returning to vent their frustrations after losing the fight.

Old Master Chen was almost frustrated. What kind of auspicious place did his father find? These people are endless, and he takes his anger out on them, treating them like pushovers.

When Chen Dafu saw that his youngest son had been cut on the arm again, he felt a pang of heartache. This would cost money to buy medicine and treat, and he was too careless.

"Master, this can't go on like this. Why don't you ask them for help again?" Madam Chen felt sorry for her children and grandchildren. She pointed at Gu Kaiyuan, not noticing how easily the two men in front of her were dealing with the robbers, even chatting and laughing.

Chen Dafu wasn't about to make a fool of himself again. "If you're injured, step back, and the kids behind you will take your place."

Anyway, his son is followed by his grandson, and the women come last. He doesn't believe that they can't hold on without Gu Kaiyuan and the others.

Scarface hadn't expected that the exile team he'd encountered this time would be such a tough nut to crack. Why did he have to get involved with the escort agency when he was just escorting prisoners?
If he had known that there were people from a security escort agency involved, he certainly wouldn't have been so arrogant.

At worst, they can just do what old man Yang did and collect a small fee per person.

Seeing his brothers fall one by one, Scarface's face grew increasingly grim, and in the end, he could only whistle to signal everyone to evacuate.

But both sides were fighting fiercely, and only a very few people heard the commotion and came back down to surround him.

"Stop, stop!" Scarface knew that doing so would be cowardly, but he had no other choice.

After finally gathering so many people and preparing to make a big splash, they found themselves facing a tough challenge right from the start.

If you don't get any benefits, you might even lose a lot when you get back.

Especially if the families of those who were injured or killed came looking for him, he, as the boss, would definitely have no way to escape. But even though he shouted like that, the other party didn't take it seriously and kept stabbing him harder with each blow.

Having no other choice, he went to Liu Pingkang and pleaded, "Sir, please tell everyone to stop. We are just villagers from around here, and we are struggling to make ends meet, so we came here to beg for food."

We have offended you greatly in the past; we hope you will forgive and forget about us.

"Didn't you guys keep saying you were coming to make a fortune? You haven't even made any money yet, and you're already trying to run away?" Now that he has the upper hand, Liu Pingkang isn't going to be polite to them.

"We were blind to your greatness, and we hope you will be lenient with yourselves," Scarface said, bowing repeatedly. He had realized that these people still wanted to work in this industry, so he didn't kill them. Otherwise, he didn't know how many more lives he would have taken.

Liu Pingkang knew when to stop, as they would indeed be using this route frequently in the future. "But how do I know that if I let you go today, you won't come looking for trouble with us again in the future?"

"..."

"How about we have another proper fight?" Liu Pingkang said when the other party did not reply.

“No, no,” Scarface quickly waved his hand, saying pragmatically, “We will not make things difficult for you whenever you pass by here in the future.”

He also glanced at the flags of the Eternal Escort Agency and the Lichang Escort Agency, imprinting them firmly in his mind, so that he would avoid confronting them in the future.

Those two people from the bidding bureau were the most ruthless and vicious in their actions.

"Thank you very much then," Liu Pingkang nodded, considering the matter closed, but he wasn't the only one involved this time, "there were also these two镖头 (bodyguards)..."

“Same here, I wouldn’t dare to make things difficult,” Scarface quickly replied. “If you come here again in the future, I will treat you with great hospitality.”

Liu and his men didn't take it seriously when they heard this. They didn't think the other party was really going to a banquet. They would have to be incredibly reckless to go.

He gave a few perfunctory replies and prepared to lead the team away.

Scarface immediately ordered his men to take the wounded brothers with them and quickly disappear into the jungle.

The scene of chaos and the cries of agony made Liu Pingkang frown. "Stop yelling there, pack your things and get out of here."

"Sir, someone has been killed..."

"Sir, please save my child..."

"Sir, why did you let those murderers go?"

"You're all birds of a feather, you'll all die a horrible death..."

"..."

The families of those who had been injured or killed were extremely agitated and ignored Liu Pingkang's orders, instead hurling insults incessantly...

Liu Pingkang didn't tolerate them. "Since you have such a big grudge, then you can stay here. I can declare you dead, but from now on you will have no household registration and no place to live. You should think carefully."

Sure enough, as soon as the threat was made, those who were cursing stopped.

Just kidding, this is practically a bandit's den. They might as well have been exiled to Lingnan; at least they'd have a chance to survive.

Seeing these people quickly packing their things and loading the injured and dead onto the vehicle, Liu Pingkang smiled contemptuously, "They really have backbone..."
