Chapter 227, Horse Bandit
As the night became darker, the guards of the Ye family were also a little sleepy, but in this wilderness, they couldn't sleep well even if they wanted to. The horse bandits might appear at any time, and there was no reason for the wolves to let go of fat sheep.
Wei Yuan sat next to the fire, drinking warm liquor while thinking about how to awaken the Blood River Minghu in the black gun.
He was not worried about the threat to him after the blood river Minghu revived. After all, his current sword energy is no longer comparable to that of the Taoist sword energy. Moreover, the last time he killed the clone of the Lord at the head of Xiliang City, Minghu's consumption had already touched the origin. Even if it could be awakened, it would not pose a threat to him. Instead, it would become his greatest help and trump card.
"Young Master Jiang..." Just as Wei Yuan was thinking, Ye Zichou had already walked to him and sat down. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Young Master Jiang, are you really not planning to escort us back to Haoguo?"
Wei Yuan turned his head and smiled, "I was planning to go to Chu State. Escort you is just following the trend. I will stay in Chu State for a while, I am afraid I will not be able to escort you back."
"So that's how it is."
Ye Zichou sighed with regret, "Okay, since that's the case, I can't delay Mr. Jiang's affairs. Let's part ways when I arrive in Jinzhou, Chu."
"terribly sorry."
"No, no, Mr. Jiang doesn't need to apologize. This is what you and I promised. Since that's the case, I will find a way myself."
Speaking of this, Ye Zichou got up and nodded, then turned around and walked towards the woman with double swords sitting by another bonfire.
But before she could get to the woman, a change happened.
A brief and rapid whistle came from the night, and the sound came to an abrupt end after a few breaths, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
"Enemy attack!"
Although Ye Zichou is still a young lady who is waiting for her name, he is already the head of the Ye family. His reaction and alertness are not inferior to some experienced guards. He immediately reacted when he heard the whistle.
The first person who made some moves was the bald Wu Kui, who swung axe like the wind, "What a group of villains, let the Sa family bear to bear them!"
As he said that, he was going to charge in front of the battle with an axe, but Ye Zichou spoke and stopped him, "Everyone is a little restless, please guard the carriage. If ordinary bandits are handed over to my Ye family's guards, I will definitely not be polite when I really need a few people to take action."
Wei Yuan and the woman with the sword did not move at all. They sat alone in front of Qin Zhuang's knees by the bonfire in the distance, closed their eyes and rested, and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
They all knew very well that if they were just ordinary bandits, they would not be able to rush to the vicinity of the convoy. After all, although the Ye family was lonely, this time they went to the business, they had all their assets. Almost all the guards of the Ye Mansion were here, with nearly half a hundred people. Even ordinary bandit groups probably could not gather so many people.
Screams and fighting sounds came from a hundred feet around. Although the wasteland was empty, the hills were undulating and the night was covered, so I couldn't see how many bandits were coming. At that time, the momentum seemed to be quite large.
Ye Zi's face was a little gloomy. The Ye family's guard was her last possession. If all of them were consumed here, how could he go in the future?
Thinking of this, Ye Zichou turned his head to look at Qin Zhuang and said lightly, "Young Master Qin, please..." Before she could finish her words, Qin Zhuang raised his sword without saying a word, turned around and walked into the night.
Then the sound of long sword wielding and blood splashing sounded. A quarter of an hour passed, and the invading bandits were killed and retreated.
The Ye family guards who survived hurriedly gathered next to the convoy, and Ye Zichou calmly spoke and arranged things.
"Xiao Zhou took ten people to collect the dry food and property on the corpse. We will continue to rush forward soon. Staying here will only be even more dangerous."
They had no choice but to the dead Ye family guards. It was a waste of time to bury them on the spot. Maybe there would be a second group of horse bandits watching them.
Besides, if they can go to this business trip, they have already made plans to throw away the corpse in the wilderness. The dead rest in peace, while the living can only continue moving forward.
As for those horse bandits, they had no choice but to die, so the murderers naturally had to be prepared to be killed. After plundering their dry food and property, the convoy set off immediately and headed towards the direction of Chu in the darkness of the night.
It didn't stop all night, and when the next day dawn, Ye Zichou discovered something and his face suddenly became a little unpleasant.
The horse bandits did not seem to give up last night, and followed them all the time, hanging hundreds of feet away from behind, without attacking, just staring at them.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. This move really makes Ye Zichou and others frightened. Everyone is always nervous and afraid that if you neglect, the other party will rush to the horse.
Moreover, since the departure from the convoy yesterday, the convoy has not rested for a moment. After another round of fighting, the guards are probably a little tired. The journey has just left less than halfway. If this continues, when the horse bandits accumulate energy and the guards are exhausted, they will probably decide the success or failure if they are rushing down.
There was not only one wave of horse bandits. During the period when they followed the convoy, several more teams joined in. The team continued to grow and took turns to monitor, which was also leisurely.
"Honor, what should I do?"
Ye Luo looked at the bandits following far behind the convoy, and was extremely anxious, but he could not help.
Ye Zichou's face was also a little ugly. She also realized that the convoy was targeted today, and she probably couldn't be good. Those bandits and strong men were not good at it, and the more people they had accumulated, there were nearly a hundred people in just half a day. As one went up and down, it was probably before the convoy arrived at Jinzhou, Chu, would be swallowed by this group of people and all the horses and people.
Thinking of this, Ye Zichou looked at Qinzhuang again. He was the highest-level and strongest person in this team. It can be said that the Ye family relied on this bus. If he were not there, this bus would not be able to leave.
"Mr. Qin, look at the current situation, what should we do?"
Ye Zichou asked with some difficulty in paying attention.
Although she followed her family to go to business early in the morning, she was the first time to go on the road outside the pass. If she was in the territory of Haoguo, she would not be afraid of this move. However, she would be flat outside the pass. Not to mention the village, even people would not be able to see it. If she was dragged until she was exhausted, she would really fall here.
"This is a common method used by the horse bandits outside the pass. If one can't eat, they can't even eat with several families. They take turns to stare at it until the convoy is exhausted. If it is an ordinary caravan, they have no choice."
