Chapter 618: Qin Da Dongjia
"Master, there is a new situation!"
Yin Le, who was observing the enemy's situation at the foot of the wall, trotted into the dark hall and said in a low voice with suppressed excitement:
"There is a caravan coming from outside the village. Judging from the torches, it is a long caravan with at least 50 to 60 people and more than 20 cars. Maybe we don't need to fight them head-on."
Qin Yao covered Liu Ji's mouth, his eyes were full of fear and he was unable to react.
He asked in confusion, "The road in Wildcat Village is narrow and not far from An County. What is the caravan doing here?"
From the corner came Gou Wa's no longer hoarse and weak voice, "It's the boss of the Qin Family Business!"
"They come to our village for a few days every spring and autumn, and collect mountain products from several nearby villages. This year, it's about this time. Oh no!"
This place has already become a den of thieves. If we encounter the large group of robbers returning tomorrow, and are attacked from both sides, Master Qin will be in danger!
Gou Wa stood up and said excitedly: "I have to inform the big boss and tell them not to enter the village!"
Dalang stopped him and said, "If you keep yelling, I'll knock you out with one punch."
Gou Wa knew how powerful he was. The two strong thugs were beaten by him and cried out in pain, and immediately became powerless.
Liu Ji fell naturally into his wife's arms. He was dizzy and urgently needed an explanation.
"My lady, what's wrong with me? What happened? Why is it dark?"
Qin Yao: "You've been fooled. We encountered a group of people who kidnapped and sold people. We just dealt with the group in the house, and now there is a bigger group outside the yard. Oh, and a new person just joined. The situation is getting more and more confusing."
"Oh, right." Qin Yao suddenly remembered the old lady. She pointed at the one lying in the yard and said playfully, "The old lady in the tea shed said she wanted to keep you, a handsome young man, and teach you a lesson to avenge the insults you gave her in the tea shed."
Liu Ji was stunned for a second, and his brain finally became clearer. He stood up and wanted to strangle the old woman to death.
He is a disciple of a great Confucian scholar, a successful candidate in the imperial examination, and the most handsome man in Liujia Village. How could this old woman covet him?
However, he forgot about his current physical condition. The effect of the drug had not yet worn off, and he stood up too quickly, falling backwards into Qin Yao's arms again.
To be precise, it was Qin Yao who kindly helped him. It was quite novel to see someone in such a dizzy state.
"My wife, I feel so weak~" Liu Ji leaned on her shoulder, rubbing his chin against the flesh of her neck, his face almost touching hers.
From the perspective of Yin Le and others, the master was a tall man who had to bend his body down just to get close to the master. His posture was as awkward as it could be.
Qin Yao ruthlessly pushed away the handsome face that was trying to get close to him, lifted his shoulders, and pressed him down on the table, "You sit here honestly."
"Ayue, let's go and see what's going on outside."
"Da Lang, you guys protect Daddy."
The four brothers and sisters nodded seriously. They would protect their father!
The useless father who was being protected, folded his hands on the table, rested his head on his arms, and watched the dashing figure walking towards the yard without blinking, his cheeks gradually flushed. She cared about him so much, so reliable, so beautiful~
He is truly the happiest man in the world!
The two brothers Goudan who were watching from the sidelines blinked their eyes, very confused. Shouldn't a father protect his children and a husband protect his wife?
The master and disciple came to the foot of the wall.
Yin Le whispered: "Master, Master's mental state seems to be a little off."
Qin Yao waved her hand, "Don't worry about him."
This is the case for people who have just woken up from anesthesia. Their brains appear to be clear but are actually disordered and they talk nonsense.
The master and disciple quietly leaned out from the top of the wall and found that more than half of the people who had just surrounded the gate of the courtyard were gone, and a large fire was lit at the entrance of the village, so they could clearly see the situation there.
The first thing Qin Yao saw was the high-flying cloth banner with the word "Qin" on it.
This was the first time in such a long time that she met someone with the same surname as her.
This caravan had twenty-two carriages, all of which were horse-drawn. The horses were tall and big, with shiny fur. It was obvious that they were well-cared for and very expensive.
The car was filled with wooden boxes and bulging burlap bags. I don't know what was in them, but they must be valuable, otherwise they couldn't afford to keep such beautiful horses.
This caravan had three people on each cart: a driver and two guards riding on either side.
So in total, there are about seventy horses alone. If Qin Yao was one of these bandits, she would never want to let go of this piece of fat meat that was delivered to her doorstep.
Fighting effectiveness is not measured by who has more people. The number of people in the caravan seems to be twice that of this group of sellers, but in fact they also have to protect the goods. They are like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, with no geographical advantage. If the two sides fight, it will be a 50-50 fight.
If Qin Yao was one of these sell-outs, a 50-50 winning rate would be no different from a 100 percent chance.
Even if you can't take everything, if you can snatch a few carts of goods and a few good horses, it will be worth it!
Therefore, when the master and his disciple watched the Qin family caravan trying to negotiate with this group of robbers at the entrance of the village, a big bright red word automatically popped up in their minds: Danger!
Sure enough, a whistle like a signal suddenly came from the entrance of the village, and the ten people who were originally guarding the gate of the courtyard immediately rushed towards the village entrance.
The horses neighed as if there was a fight, accompanied by screams. The two groups of people at the village entrance started fighting after a disagreement.
Yin Le looked at the empty gate and said in surprise: "Master, if we don't leave now, when will we leave?"
After all, compared with the goods in the convoy, these people are not worth mentioning.
Qin Yao stared at the man who was guarding the front of the convoy and fighting with the Lu Mai people with a sword. The flickering firelight could not illuminate his face, but judging from his figure, he seemed to be only a few years older than her. His hair was tied up for convenience, and he looked very neat in his tight clothes.
Riding a horse has certain advantages. Under his command, the guards fought back and forth with this group of bandits.
The incident happened so suddenly and it was dark, it was not easy to respond so calmly in a short time.
A calm command came from the firelight: "All guards stay, drivers turn around immediately, light more torches, don't be afraid, retreat to the cliff, one man can stop ten thousand, they can't do anything to us!"
As soon as he said this, the drivers in the caravan reacted immediately. The tail became the head, and the head became the tail, and they retreated in an orderly and rapid manner the way they came.
All the torches prepared on the carts were lit. With the light of the fire, the drivers were all experienced, so they kept the formation steady and did not panic. They did not need to be afraid when crossing the narrow road on the cliff.
What's more, they have guards to cover them, and the number of the enemy is equal to that of their guards, so their chances of winning are great.
Yin Le was surprised. "With this retreat, the team's chances of winning have actually increased."
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes. The sound of the wind coming from the cliff seemed a little different.
