Chapter 248 News
At dusk, the afterglow of the sunset shines in the mottled snowy wilderness and on the scattered hills. These hills have many trees, becoming small groves, and these small groves have become the favorite destinations for bandits.
At this time, Li Wo was touching the grove where his companions were staying. He had just returned from Caijiazhuang and brought the latest price offered by the other party: In order to redeem Cai Wuniang, the owner of Cai Zhuang was willing to produce 500 pieces of cloth.
Cai Wuniang is the youngest daughter of Zhuangzhu Cai. She has not yet married, but her relatives have already said that, and Cai Wuniang, who is waiting to get married, was targeted by Li Wu's boss.
His eldest son, Zhang, is said to be a blacksmith, known as Zhang Tielu. Zhang Tielu and his men spent some time kidnapping Cai Wuniang and succeeded in waiting for the owner of Cai to redeem the people, while Li Wo was responsible for running errands and negotiating the price.
According to the current cloth price, the cloth that Zhuangzhu Cai is willing to sell is about 150 coins for copper coins. It is worth buying seven or eight healthy male servants, which is worth the savings of several small landlords in a year.
This deal is really worthwhile. As long as you hand over the cloth and the other hand, and with the money you took away when kidnapping Cai Wuniang, everyone can have a happy life.
But, Wu Niang should not be harmed.
Li Wo thought so, and her pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.
He used to be a farmer in Caijiazhuang and secretly liked Cai Wuniang, the youngest daughter of the owner. However, there was a difference between good and lowly. He knew that it was impossible for him to be Cai Wuniang, so he could only bury that love in his heart.
This time, the boss kidnapped the hostage and earned ransom. When Li Wu was in action, he realized that the target was Cai Wuniang. Now that things have come to this point, he is powerless to change anything. He can only pray that the lustful boss can keep his promise and take over the cloth of the owner of Cai. He did not move Cai Wuniang and put it back.
Cai Wuniang was about to get married, but if someone broke her body, it would be difficult to get married. Although Li Wu felt sad that she could not marry Cai Wuniang, she hoped that the other party would marry a good family and live a good life.
Therefore, in order to avoid the long nights and many dreams, Li Wo volunteered to go to Caijiazhuang and negotiated the ransom with the owner of Cai. He rushed back immediately. While bringing the news to the boss, he also hoped that the boss would gather his mind and endure it.
When he touched an outside of a forest, Li Wo and the secret whistle met the secret code and successfully entered the forest.
It was dark at this time, and a small fire was lit in the forest. Several men sat around the fire to cook the fire, whispering and laughing. When Li Wo came back, they greeted him one after another.
Li Wo responded one by one, glanced at the fire, but did not see the boss Zhang Tielu, nor did Cai Wuniang. His heart skipped a beat and became nervous. He thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he could only try to calm down and ask his companion where the boss had gone.
Seeing his companion chuckling and winking, Li Wo felt more and more wrong, and his heart was in a mess. He used the excuse to tell Zhang Tielu about the ransom, and staggered over in the direction pointed by his companion.
While running, Li Wo was anxious and rolled over and crawled over from the woods ahead.
In the dark woods, a burly man pressed a woman to the ground. The woman was petite and her clothes were almost torn by the other party. She cried and struggled, but to no avail.
Seeing that Cai Wuniang was about to be occupied by her boss, Li Wo rushed forward and pulled the other party:
"Boss! Boss! Don't do this! Master Cai said..."
Before he finished speaking, the man shook his left hand and beat Li Wu to take a few steps back.
The man was Zhang Tielu, the leader of the group of thieves. He looked back at Li Wo and cursed: "Don't be troublesome!" and wanted to divide Cai Wuniang's legs, but was hugged by Li Wo who rushed up again.
"Boss! Don't do this. Master Cai said that as long as he doesn't touch Wu Niang, he is willing to produce five hundred pieces of cloth!"
"I can't hold it in anymore, don't worry about the damn Lord Cai!"
Zhang Tielu grabbed Li Wo and laughed: "I am the first one, you have worked hard to run errands, so let go!"
When Li Wo saw Cai Wuniang crying, "No", she was anxious and was reluctant to let go. She kept pleading, and was pulled away by others who rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhang Tielu, whose good thing was interrupted, saw that Li Wo performed abnormally today, thought for a while and then sneered: "Why, you kid have been in Caijiazhuang, and now you are thinking about Caijiazhuang? Come and plead for the owner of Caizhuang? Do you think that you can marry Cai Wuniang after pleading with him?"
Li Wo couldn't help but plead, saying that since he had made a ransom with the owner of Cai, don't touch Cai Wuniang. Zhang Tielu hummed: "This little lady has tender skin and tender flesh, which has made me feel hot. If you don't play with it, how can you do it?"
"Tonight, everyone has a share of it! I will play this little lady with a broken flower and a broken willow. Master Cai has to redeem it even if he pinchs his nose. If he can't get married in the future, you, Li Wo, can come to propose marriage!"
A group of people laughed. When Li Wo saw the boss, she was about to press on her. She roared, broke free from her control, rushed up and knocked Zhang Tielu down: "No one of you is allowed to touch her!!"
Zhang Tielu, who was furious, got up and looked at Li Wo with a grin: "Boy, you are impatient in your life! I want to take you down!"
Seeing that the boss was angry, the other people pulled out their waists and surrounded Li Wo. Li Wo blocked the trembling Cai Wuniang behind him, and took up a stone to prepare for his life.
Zhang Tielu roared and showed what was about to pounce on him. Suddenly, his toes exerted force, lifted the soil on the ground, muddled Li Wo's face, and then swung his fist to smash Li Wo's forehead.
At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and several feather arrows flew in turn, shooting Zhang Tielu and several other thieves down.
After a sudden change of shock, Li Wo, who was fascinated by the dust, had not yet come back to his senses. More than a dozen men rushed into the forest and subdued Zhang Tielu and others who were shot down by arrows. After Li Wo's eyes recovered from their eyes, he pressed a knife against his chest.
Zhang Tielu was caught in an arrow, and it hurt so much, but he kept shouting "Give up" at this time, and the others were the same. The dozen men were wearing armor and cloaks. They knew they had a great background at first glance, so they could only beg for mercy and dared not resist.
Cai Wuniang, who was almost naked, cried and shouted "No", but saw one of the middle-aged men untied her cloak and threw it on her. She quickly pulled the cloak and wrapped herself up.
"Don't panic, little lady, we are an official army, not a thief."
The middle-aged man who threw the cloak to Cai Wuniang comforted him. Seeing that Cai Wuniang was still in shock, she hugged in the cloak and shivered, she said nothing, turned to the dusty Li Wo, smiled, and signaled her companion to take back the knife, and then asked:
"Are you in the same group with these people?"
Li Womumu nodded, and the man smiled when he saw this, "It's a seed of infatuation, your name?"
"Li...Li Wo..."
"Little brother, do you recognize this little lady?"
"Um..."
"Well, I have an opportunity with you. Do you want to have a good future and be a person with your head held high and your chest?"
"Think...think..."
Li Woqiqi said aloofly, of course he wanted to have a good future, and wanted to ride a tall horse and take the team to propose marriage to Caijiazhuang to marry Cai Wuniang.
The middle-aged man was about to continue saying that footsteps sounded, and several people walked in from outside the woods. Li Wo turned his head and saw these people holding several heads, all of which were secret whistles arranged outside the woods.
Several secret whistles were all old thieves, very cunning, but now they were killed by the other party quietly. Li Wo couldn't help but sigh: What a powerful skill!
The few people approached and saluted the middle-aged man: "Zhang Sima, none of these people ran away!"
Sima Zhang Dingfa, Sima of the Prince of Xiyang, nodded, very satisfied with the performance of Lu Wuji and others: "People of Team Lu, arrange for people to be alert outside the woods, and the others take turns to rest."
Lu Wuji nodded and glanced at Zhang Tielu and a few others, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Zhang Sima, do you need someone else to torture these people?"
"No need, but Team Master Lu can watch."
After Zhang Dingfa finished speaking, he signaled to approach one person: "Xiao Li, go and greet these heroes and ask them if they know the latest news in Fugou City."
