Chapter 1145 Making Dumplings
Zhou Guo waved his hand again, and four or five hundred people disguised as members of the escort agency set off. More than a dozen carts were covered with oilcloth, leaving deep ruts on the road.
You can tell at a glance that something heavy is being transported.
Each of these hundreds of people was armed with a big sword, and their faces looked unfriendly.
They passed by a group of people fighting and saw the bandits. They stared at the bandit leader for a long time.
The bandit leader happened to be staring at them, his face sullen, and his eyes looking at the tire tracks on the road with an ambiguous expression.
But seeing that the other side was well-armed and he couldn't get any advantage, he decided to look away. Women were more important. If he could take these people back to the mountain, he would be able to add more people to the mountain.
If they were to go against this group of bodyguards, there would be no new arrivals today and people on their side would die.
It’s somewhat not cost-effective.
But as luck would have it, at this moment, the last car was hit by a protruding stone on the road. The car body tilted and two boxes fell out of the car.
The contents inside were exposed.
The bandits' eyes lit up. The things were golden, with pieces of gold bars and big white pearls. These were all money and treasures!
A gust of wind blew by, and the bandit leader looked forward, only to see that a corner of a carriage in front of him was blown up, revealing a box inside. The box was exactly the same as the two that fell out from the back.
These carts are full of stuff like this?? ! !
No wonder the tire tracks are so deep!
The bandit leader made a prompt decision and said to the people around him: "Go, get all the brothers on the mountain to come down. There is a good fight to be fought."
Zhou Guo raised the corner of his lips, "It's hooked."
Dashu couldn't help but say, "Who wouldn't be tempted by these dozen carts of gold and jewels? There are more than a dozen carts. Even if only two of them are filled with these things, it would be enough for these people to have food and drink for the rest of their lives."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "If I had so much gold and jewelry, I wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life."
Hehe, money still matters.
Xiaoshu said, "Master, you are different. There is so much food piled up at home that you can't eat it all in hundreds of lifetimes. You didn't say you would stop farming from now on. If your family had so much money, you wouldn't be able to keep it. You would still find ways to earn it."
She spent less than 10% of the money she earned on herself and her family, and the rest was gone.
Zhou Guo said: "Shh, stop talking, we are about to go on stage."
She hadn't had a fight for a long time, and her hands were itching. She heard that the bandit leader was powerful, so she wanted to go up and have a fight with him.
Dashu said worriedly, "But you haven't recovered yet. Anyway, the chief steward is here, let him go."
Zhou Guo said: "Among them, our Chief Butler Hu is better at martial arts. Chief Butler Wu is always a little bit behind."
Wu Jiang and Wu Lazi hurried away with the escort team. The faster they walked, the more anxious the people behind them became.
Looking at the group of guys who were still robbing women, he cursed: "Get up, all of you! Why are you here so late? Do you see the escort team in front? As long as you get the stuff in this escort team, you can have any kind of women you want. Grab your weapons, wait for the brothers on the mountain to come down, and then we'll charge up together!"
Those gold, silver and jewelry will be theirs then.
They didn't care about these refugees. It would be too much effort to chop them with knives. They had to save their energy to fight the group of bodyguards in front. Those bodyguards were all martial artists and not easy to deal with. If they wanted to capture this group of people, they had to get all the brothers in the village to come out.
The refugees rushed back to the rear, looking for Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo nodded, "Well done, clean up, we have a tough battle to fight later."
Everyone immediately put on their clothes, tied their hair tightly, picked up their weapons, and waited for Zhou Guo to give orders at any time.
Zhou Guo stared ahead, not knowing how much time had passed.
I saw a large group of people coming down the mountain, several times more than before, and this group of people looked to be nearly two thousand people.
It was indeed a big stronghold. The two thousand young and strong men were twice as many as Wu Lazi’s stronghold, so it was difficult to defeat them.
She watched as several bandit leaders raised their arms and shouted, then ran forward with two thousand bandits to chase Wu Jiang and the others.
Zhou Guo immediately turned around and said, "Let's go!"
He got on the horse and ran away.
More than two thousand people followed behind him.
The rest of the people had already gone to the front to ambush, and with an attack from both sides, the group was surrounded.
Wu Jiang, Wu Lazi and their escorts were almost at the ambush site, but they didn't see anyone coming, so they had to slow down. If they ran faster, they would have passed the ambush circle.
The bandits finally caught up with him, waving their swords and shouting, "Escort, you have no manners, right? You want to leave without leaving some money just by passing by my gate?"
"Leave some money for the passage!"
Wu Jiang turned around, looked at them with contempt, ignored them and continued walking.
This made the group of people angry. After all, they were bandits who were hated and feared by everyone, right?
Why this expression?
Isn't this looking down on them?
"Boy, why don't you ask who your grandfather is? I am the king of a thousand miles! If you know what's good for you, leave the things behind and I can spare your life. Otherwise, hmph, I will let you die here!"
Wu Jiang still ignored him.
The bandit leader was really angry now. "Since you don't know what's happening, don't blame me. Even if you go to hell and report me to the King of Hell, I'll still have something to say."
Wu Jiang couldn't help but ask Wu Lazi, "Why is he so talkative? Should we fight?"
He really talked too much, which was unlike his master. If it was like this, he would just go ahead and do it without saying a word. He had been the steward for so many years, but he didn't understand why he said so many words.
Wu Lazi said as a matter of course: "Although we are bandits, we also have principles. We must make it clear to people before robbing them. Especially when we meet powerful merchants like us, we must use courtesy before force to avoid gossip."
Wu Jiang raised his eyebrows, "If you rob someone and say a few nice words, you can forgive the sin?"
Wu Lazi: "...Isn't this just self-consolation?"
The bandit leader waved his arms and said, "Brothers, come on!"
"Come on!"
Thousands of people rushed up shouting.
At this moment, a lot of people suddenly appeared from the front and the mountains on both sides like ghosts. At first glance, they were no less numerous than them.
Before they could come to their senses, Zhou Guo and his men caught up and blocked their way back.
Now they could neither move forward nor retreat, they were surrounded!
The bandits panicked and couldn't help but poke their leader, "Boss, what are we going to do? How come these people didn't make any sound? They just appeared out of nowhere like ghosts?"
The bandit leader's eyes went dark, and he realized that he was being plotted against.
After all, he was the boss of so many people. He calmed himself down, stood up, and bowed to all directions. He said, "I don't know who you are. Come out and see me. What have I, Xiong Lao San, done to offend you that you are plotting against me like this?"
The crowd behind quickly made way.
Zhou Guo, with a longbow on his back and a broadsword in his hand, rode forward on his horse with a smile on his face and said, "Xiong Lao San, right? The person you're looking for is me."
