When Li Huailiang led his troops to chase after them, he could no longer see which direction the bandits fled.
He had no choice but to lead his troops back to the mountain stronghold.
At this time, the second-in-command of the village was still fighting, but due to his severe injuries, his movements were much slower than at the beginning.
"Be careful with your hands, catch him alive. He's the second-in-command of the stronghold, he must know where the big boss has fled to."
"Once we catch him, let him lead the way."
"Yes, General."
A chorus of echoing voices.
The second in command of the stronghold looked back at the big guy, but there was no big brother behind the big guy. Yes, it seemed that the big brother had escaped.
However, he still wanted to buy more time for his elder brother.
As a result, his attacks became even more desperate.
The surrounding soldiers, wanting to capture him alive, became restrained.
After more than ten minutes, Li Huailiang realized that the second-in-command of this mountain stronghold was delaying time.
"Don't let him delay any longer, just give him a breath."
"Yes, General."
The besieging soldiers swung their swords faster and more fiercely.
The second in command quickly knelt on the ground.
"As long as you lead us to capture your boss, I will spare your life, how about that?"
"Dream on! As long as my eldest brother escapes alive, he will definitely help me and the third brother to get revenge."
After the second in command finished speaking, he rushed out with a knife towards a soldier next to him.
By the time everyone reacted, the second in command had already fallen to the ground and died.
"Reply General, he is dead."
Li Huailiang waved his hands irritably, "Leave four of you to guard the back door. The rest of you go into the stronghold and help kill the bandits."
"I will go now."
So, Li Huailiang led his soldiers to surround and kill the remaining bandits in the mountain stronghold.
Let’s talk about the boss who escaped. They fled towards Shilin Town.
"Boss, we still have ten people in town. Once we get there and meet up with them, we can drive the carriage directly to the official road."
"Yes, sir, the forests and mountains are too slow. The official road is faster."
"And no one is chasing us for now."
The eldest boss thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then we'll have two people go to Shilin Town to meet them, and then drive the carriage out."
"I'll take the others to the intersection of Shilin Town and wait."
Soon, the two bandits took another route and headed towards Shilin Town.
The boss led the remaining people through the mountains and forests and headed towards the official road.
They traveled through the mountains and forests for more than two hours, and when they reached the official road outside Shilin Town, it was still about two hours before dawn.
When they came down, they just avoided the officers and soldiers who were secretly stationed here.
Soon, they arrived at the official road near Yunjia Village.
The officers and soldiers stationed here are still some distance away.
The boss and his men made very little noise, and since it was at night, they didn't attract anyone's attention.
"Boss, I remember when I was getting information, there was a refugee group nearby, and it was very famous."
"Although the refugee group wasn't large, every household had a donkey cart. Some families even had mule carts and horse carts in addition to donkey carts."
"We even said at the time that they were eager to send us donkey carts, horse carts, and mule carts."
The bandit spoke in a lower voice as he came to the end.
No one expected that the stronghold would be captured by others overnight.
They didn't even know who led the bandits to attack.
By the time they escaped from the stronghold, the third in command was already dead, and the remaining second in command was probably in grave danger as well.
The eldest master glanced furtively, "How many carriages are left in the town?"
"To the boss, there is a carriage left in the town. But one carriage is definitely not enough for all of us."
"Can you find the refugee group you mentioned? Let's go there and steal a couple of cars."
"Boss, please follow me. If I remember correctly, they are not far ahead."
"Okay, everyone, be gentle. Don't disturb the sleeping refugees."
"Also, when you guys make your move later, try to pick a horse-drawn carriage. If that doesn't work, a mule-drawn carriage will also work."
"Don't steal donkey carts. They're too slow and easy to catch."
"At this time, the carriages, horses, and mules are all separate. You should first find good horses or mules, and then build the carriages."
"Boss, please don't come with us. Go wait for us up ahead. The three of us will be enough."
"Okay, come back as soon as possible, whether it works or not. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way."
Three bandits sneaked into the woods where Yunjia Village was staying.
The boss took the rest of the people to the intersection of Shilin Town and waited for people coming from the town.
The three bandits quickly reached Yunjia Village. As luck would have it, they found Li Xiucai.
Mr. Li has both a horse-drawn carriage and a mule-drawn carriage at home.
The three bandits looked at each other and seemed to be lucky.
They quietly untied the horses and mules and led them to where the carriages were.
At this time, the four people on night duty in Yunjia Village had already fallen asleep leaning against a tree.
Although the village chief repeatedly stressed that night watchmen were not allowed to sleep, the nights had been very quiet recently, so they secretly fished.
The three bandits quickly put a carriage on the mule.
One bandit led the mule, and the other two bandits carried the other carriage.
Unexpectedly, they accidentally kicked a basket leaning against a tree.
There might have been bowls and chopsticks in the basket, which were kicked by the bandits, making a rattling sound.
"Hurry up, don't let anyone find out."
"good."
The two bandits quickly put the carriage on the horses.
At this time, Li Xiucai was awakened by the noise just now.
He yawned, opened his eyes and looked around. Suddenly, he found his family's carriage and mule cart heading out of the woods.
What happened? How did the horse and mule carts move on their own? Weren't the carriages unloaded earlier?
Suddenly, he realized that someone was coming to steal his carriage and mule cart.
He jumped up and shouted, "Hurry up, someone stole my mule cart and carriage."
"Everyone, please get up and help. Someone stole my car."
Li Xiucai's voice was so loud that it woke up many people.
People in the woods began to light torches one after another.
The three bandits also quickened their pace as they walked outside.
There was no way. It was too dark and we were in the woods, so we couldn't drive. We could only walk out slowly.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up. We've been discovered."
"Okay, everyone hurry up. Once we get to the official road, we'll start driving and they won't be able to catch up with us."
"good."
The Yun family, Yun the butcher and Yun Yiyi were also woken up by Li Xiucai's voice.
Butcher Yun lit a torch and said, "Yiyi, you stay home and protect everyone. I'll go check out the front."
