Chapter 15 Chaos
At such a close distance, even he was not sure he could escape unscathed. Although there were many people in the hall, none of them could defeat Chen Luo in a real fight. A master of internal training could kill all of them with ease.
"I didn't expect that it would be a master of internal training who would come. I am sorry that Cai failed to welcome him."
This is the situation caused by the martial arts blockade.
It is impossible for ordinary bandits to come into contact with real martial arts, just like it is the same as ordinary small gangs in the past life could not touch guns.
"Don't be polite, Boss. My uncle and I are here just to seek a way to survive."
Chen Luo restrained his breath.
He showed his strength just to gain the right to speak, not to fight to the death with these bandits. Even if he could kill all these people, the third uncle following him would probably not get away with it. What's more, he had no hatred with these people, on the contrary, he had to rely on their way to escape.
"Seeking a way to survive?"
If Mr. Cai was just a little skeptical just now, he now believes it completely.
A disturbance that could cause even the masters of internal training to flee was definitely not something a small person like him could withstand. If he really had that ability, he and his brothers would not be living in this desolate wilderness.
"I wonder if you could elaborate on that."
Mr. Cai's expression changed, no longer as calm and composed as before.
If Chen Luo was just an ordinary refugee, he would definitely not take it seriously, but now that his identity as an "internal training master" has been revealed, the meaning it represents is completely different. The matter that made such a master escape must be very serious, and it might even be related to the bandits who beg for food in the mountains.
As he spoke, Cai waved his hand. Several bandits nearby immediately reacted, stood up and gave up their seats, leaving two seats for Chen Luo and his nephew.
"Qingya County is going to be in chaos. This matter started half a month ago."
Chen Luo was not clear about the specific details, but that did not stop him from making up stories on the spot.
It is true that the royal family died.
It is also true that a eunuch died in Qingya County.
The royal family and the eunuchs all died in one place, how could this place not be in chaos? Chen Luojiu linked these things together, half true and half false, and made it into a shocking conspiracy, which made the bandits sweat coldly.
"So, someone in Qingya County was so bold as to murder the royal family and chop off the eunuchs in the palace?"
"This is a rebellion!!"
The bandits from the Tiger Village could no longer sit still.
Once anything involves treason, the problem becomes really serious.
Thinking of the blockade outside, everyone lost their leisure time. There was a vague feeling that a disaster was coming. If it involved treason, there would definitely be troops coming to quell the rebellion. Once those big soldiers came, would these bandits still have a chance to survive? They would definitely kill them to claim credit. This kind of thing was not uncommon in history.
The innocent are affected!
"Is the news true?"
Mr. Cai couldn't help but ask a question.
“I saw it with my own eyes!”
Chen Luo said with a heavy expression.
Not only did he see it with his own eyes, he also beat the eunuch to death with his own hands. He was holding a brick and his hands were numb from beating him.
Mr. Cai stood up suddenly.
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, he decided to leave a way out. The reason why the Tiger Village could survive the suppression by the imperial court until now was due to his caution.
"Sixth brother, take the brothers to the side waterway to prepare some wooden barrels. Fourth brother, fifth brother, you two ask the brothers to pack up and get ready to run. Third brother, you and seventh brother go to Qingya County to find Mr. Li and see if you can get some useful information."
Mr. Li is the friend of Menghu Village in Qingya County. Many of the stolen goods in the village are handled by Mr. Li.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Naturally, these bandits have a backup plan and cannot just follow whatever Chen Luo says.
"yes!"
As the order was given, the entire Tiger Village began to move.
"You two, follow me to the inner room for a chat."
Cai Dangjia walked up to Chen Luo and spoke very politely.
As he spoke, he returned the thirty taels of silver he had just received from Chen Laosan. Not only that, he gave him ten more taels.
“That’s not necessary.”
Chen Laosan felt a little embarrassed. After all, he came here to ask for help, but he didn't spend any money and even made ten taels of silver.
"Take it."
Chen Luo said something.
He knew that the Cai family was a little worried now, firstly because of Chen Luo's strength, and secondly because of the news he brought. No matter what, it involved the lives of all the brothers in the village, so it was always right to be cautious.
"Since Mr. Cai is so sincere, I can't just stand by and watch him die. I just happen to have an inside message here, so I'll give it to Mr. Cai."
Chen Luo walked up to Mr. Cai and spoke as if he was chatting.
As for what inside information was and which inside information it was, only Chen Luo knew it. Chen Laosan, who was following behind him, had completely stopped talking. He found that his nephew was very good at deceiving people and his words were more real than the truth.
"Please go ahead."
Cai Dangjia was in a very humble manner, and seemed like a completely different person from the one he had seen when he entered the village just now.
"There's not much time left."
Chen Luo said something mysterious.
The exact time and reason why there are fewer left is all up to your imagination.
After hearing Chen Luo's suggestion, Cai Dangjia obviously thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
In his opinion, Chen Luo, a master of internal training, would definitely not deceive him for no reason. With the other party's strength and identity, he must know some information that outsiders don't know.
After leading the two to the inner room, Cai Dangjia asked some detailed questions. Chen Luo answered very carefully, and in the middle he took out the royal token and placed it on the table. This made Cai Dangjia, who was still a little skeptical, completely believe it.
"Xiao Luo, isn't this a bit..."
Looking at Mr. Cai who was leaving in a hurry, Chen Laosan finally couldn't help but say something.
"I'm saving him."
Chen Luo knew what his uncle was thinking, but things had come to this point, so there was no need to dwell on the details.
The truth is to survive first!
Time passed, and half a day passed in a flash.
It was obvious that something had happened in Qingya County within half a day. The third and seventh brothers who had gone to Qingya County to get information had no news at all. No one knew whether they were trapped in the city or encountered some other accident. This result made everyone in the village even more uneasy.
"There's smoke rising over there in Qingya County! There's also the sound of fighting, and I see a lot of flags surrounding it."
The bandit who was responsible for monitoring the situation ran in quickly and reported the situation to Cai Dangjia.
"Is there a smoke?"
Mr. Cai's face changed.
The thick smoke that could be seen in broad daylight meant there was definitely a fire over there.
Someone set fire to the city!
"Brother, what should we do now? Third brother and seventh brother haven't come back yet."
The remaining few people asked anxiously.
The Cai family didn't expect the incident to happen so quickly. Their village was far from the city, so they had a buffer period. If it was closer, they might have been involved.
"Old Five, you take the women and children in the village and leave first. The rest of us will stay behind to cover your retreat."
After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Cai made a decision.
"yes."
Lao Wu, who was called, quickly stood up and walked out the door.
"Uncle San, you should join them too." Chen Luo said at the right time.
As long as Uncle San escapes, things will be easy for him alone.
"Let's go together! What are you waiting for?"
Chen Laosan suddenly became anxious. What he was most worried about was his nephew Chen Luo. In his opinion, his nephew's life was much more valuable than his own.
"I'll be there shortly."
Chen Luo was not really not afraid of death, and he did not stay to cover the retreat. He just wanted to see if there was any good opportunity to pick up two more heads.
