In the middle of the night, bursts of snoring could be heard from the dry forest.
The occasional crackling sound of the fire made me drowsy.
Xiao Jingzhou dismantled the engineer shovel into pieces and reassembled it.
Gu Zhenbei watched him dismantle and reassemble it, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, do you want the craftsmen to create such a magical weapon?"
Xiao Jingzhou took the last screw and said, "Uncle, look at this part. Put it into this hole and tighten it. It will fit perfectly.
This little thing is so delicate.
Even if we ask the best craftsmen in Dajing to do it, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. ”
Gu Zhenbei also agreed with this. He said, "Your Highness is right. What a pity. It would be great if we could do the same."
Xiao Jingzhou originally had this idea, but after he disassembled the accessories, he felt that it would be far faster to buy them than to make them himself!
Lu Chen put a coat on Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Your Highness, it will be dawn in two hours.
...
...
The gangsters still had ropes tied to their hands, so they couldn't cause any trouble. ”
Xiao Jingzhou shook his head: "Don't take it lightly, underestimating the enemy is a taboo in military strategy.
Especially at this time, the more we need to cheer up. ”
Lu Chen: “Yes!”
At that time, Zhang Da sneaked up to the officers who were escorting the bandits.
He patted the officer's shoulder and said, "I'll keep watch for you. Go get some sleep."
The officer was so sleepy that when he heard someone was offering to do his job, he moved to another place, leaned against a tree and fell asleep without hesitation.
Zhang Da took the opportunity to untie the hemp rope from the tree and threw it towards the bandits.
He left a message saying that there was food in the general's mansion and quickly escaped.
Huang Ya used a sharp stone to cut the hemp rope and was thinking of untying it for his elder brother, but he found that there was no need to waste his time.
"Brother, I think that figure is the officer from the team ahead. Why is he helping us?"
Scarface guessed: "He must have a grudge against the prisoner he was escorting!"
Huang Ya quickly untied the ropes for more than a dozen brothers, and the group gathered together.
"Brother, the officer said there is food in the general's mansion."
"Let's go grab it."
Scarface spat and cursed, "If it weren't for the officials suppressing the bandits, we would still be drinking and eating meat on the lake, living a carefree life.
Why suffer and starve here!
Just listen to me, I'll rush up and kill all the men later.
I'll take you to eat pork! ”
"Big brother is awesome!"
"We've been hungry for so long, finally we can have a good meal!"
…
Gu Shijie had just changed shifts with others when he saw a black mass moving not far away.
All the sleepiness disappeared and I woke up instantly.
He shouted, "Be on guard! Get ready for battle!"
When the Gu family heard the warning, their blood, which was already sensing danger, instantly began to boil.
Everyone quickly grasped the engineer shovels, surrounded the women and children, and prepared to fight the bandits.
When the bandits heard that their whereabouts had been exposed, they picked up any dry sticks and stones that came to their hand and rushed forward.
"Brothers, charge! Kill the dog official and we can eat meat!"
The vicious bandits, knowing that the Gu family had food, treated them like lambs to be slaughtered.
The greed and hunger in his eyes were about to overflow.
Gu Zhenbei picked up the engineer shovel and slashed the scarred face with the sharp blade.
Scarface realized something was wrong and dodged sideways, leaving a bloody scratch on his shoulder.
Gu Zhenbei has been fighting for many years and is best at repelling the enemy.
He took advantage of Scarface's lack of reaction and stabbed him again.
The knife went straight for Scarface's skull.
"Brother, be careful!"
Huang Ya pushed Scarface away, and blood instantly flowed down his forehead.
He fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open!
Scarface yelled, "Da Huang!"
The bandits never expected that the Gu family members were armed, and their morale was completely lost.
The Gu family naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. They picked up the engineering shovels and hacked and chopped at the bandits.
In order to prevent the bandits from getting close and snatching weapons, he picked up the engineer shovel and waved it without stopping for a moment.
The bandits started to get anxious when they saw many of their brothers had died.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Brother, their shovels are too weird, we can't defeat them at all!"
"Brother, how about we retreat?"
Under Gu Zhenbei's suppression of force, Scarface had no room to resist and couldn't even give the order to retreat.
Seeing Scarface being defeated, several gangsters immediately changed their target and aimed at Gu Zhenbei.
I saw a thick stick about to be swung at Gu Zhenbei's head.
Xiao Jingzhou picked up the engineer shovel and chopped the bandit's neck like cutting a watermelon. The bandit's head fell to the ground with a thud and rolled in the mud.
The fighting was too noisy.
Someone shouted, "The prisoners are fighting!"
The escorting officers were all woken up.
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they immediately became awake from their sleepy state.
Zhou Wu drew his sword first, and just as he was about to lead people to stop them, he was stopped by Hou Si.
"Brother, let them go and fight. If they accidentally hurt our brothers, they will definitely die due to lack of medicine and food."
After much deliberation, Zhou Wu put away the knife.
Zhang Da hid aside and sneered, hoping that the bandits would kill the deposed prince so that he could report to his superiors as soon as possible.
The other team of officers didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
They were hungry and tired, and the knives were shaking in their hands. They would definitely not end well if they fought.
When they saw Zhou Wu put away the knife, they immediately felt relieved.
The people over there were still watching coldly while the fight over here was in full swing.
Seeing that they could not win, the bandits turned all their firepower towards Gu Zhenbei and Xiao Jingzhou.
After the assistant Scarface escaped from Gu Zhenbei's hands, the group fled in panic.
Gu Shijie wanted to chase after him, but Gu Zhenbei grabbed him by the collar from behind.
I almost lifted myself up.
Gu Shijie was so angry that he struggled hard in his father's hands: "Let me go, let me kill them!"
Xiao Jingzhou said sternly: "Shijie, don't chase after a desperate enemy."
They repelled the bandits with the weapons in their hands and took precautions early on, protecting the injured female members among them and hiding their weak spots.
It would be dangerous if the bandits hid and ambushed us during the pursuit.
Gu Shijie was thrown to the ground by his father, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
When he saw the bloodstains on Gu Zhenbei's face, he suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing that he was awake, Xiao Jingzhou called Lu Chen over and said, "Count the casualties. If the wound is too deep, ask my aunt to suture it and bandage it with Yunnan Baiyao."
Lu Chen moved quickly and counted the numbers quickly.
He said: "Your Highness, none of us died.
The injuries of three members of the Gu family are serious but not life-threatening.
Including Minister Wei, a total of five people were slightly injured.
Seven bandits died and twelve escaped. ”
Gu Zhenbei wiped the engineer shovel like a treasure and said happily: "I have fought for many years, but I have never fought such a refreshing battle!
This is all thanks to the magical weapons given by the gods! ”
Xiao Jingzhou noticed the gazes cast upon him by the officers.
The two teams of officials together have nearly thirty people. They cannot just drive away the tiger and then let the wolf target them.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Uncle, the officers must have discovered the engineer shovel.
Let our people keep it secret and prevent it from leaking out.
The more mysterious it is, the more fearful the officials will be and they will not dare to act rashly. ”
Gu Zhenbei nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
The officers watched the exiled prisoners escape and became anxious, but no one dared to chase them.
The only thing we can do is make the criminals disappear from everyone's sight.
Zhou Wu saw the shovel in Gu Zhenbei's hand in the light of the fire and asked in confusion: "Where did they get the weapons from?"
