Chapter 76 Preparing for the Attack
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Liu Wei had already fainted. When he woke up, he saw a group of big men surrounding him, and he subconsciously huddled up into a ball.
"Boss, he's a prisoner from the exile team who just escaped. He must know about the Chen family!"
When Liu Wei heard this, his ears pricked up immediately, and then he immediately raised his hand and shouted, "I know, I know, I know that Chen family!"
Obviously, he felt that as long as he had the information these people wanted, he could save his life.
"oh"
The boss, also known as Brother Hei, raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a reward.
He had previously sent his men to inquire about the situation of the exile team, but he didn't expect that he would bring back a prisoner.
No one knows the situation in the exile group better than the prisoners in it.
"Tell me about the exile team."
Brother Hei did not ask about the Chen family's information, but instead paid attention to the exiled team, which stunned Liu Wei who was waiting to bargain.
Seeing that Liu Wei didn't react, Brother Hei glanced at his subordinate, who then walked directly to Liu Wei and stepped on the instep of his foot.
With a snap, the bones in his feet were crushed.
"ah--"
The severe pain made Liu Wei scream. He covered his feet and rolled over in pain.
The bandits next to him crossed their arms and watched Liu Wei rolling on the ground quietly, even smiling happily.
After a moment, Hei Ge snorted coldly, "If you don't want another leg broken, shut up."
Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, a bandit drew his sword and seemed ready to attack.
Liu Wei stopped howling immediately, but the bulging veins on his forehead showed the pain he was enduring.
"Now you can tell me."
Brother Hei's expression said, "If you don't tell me, I will beat you up." This scared Liu Wei so much that he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Before, he was just hesitating and considering whether to use this opportunity to bargain, but this group of brutal bandits ended up breaking his leg bones.
If he hesitated any longer, his legs might really be broken.
Anyway, he has escaped from the exile team, and that place has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to keep it secret.
After hearing what Liu Wei said, Hei Ge was a little surprised, "That means all the prisoners in the exile team have escaped now."
“Probably not!”
Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "When I leave, tell my men to incite the prisoners to attack the yamen runners, delay them as much as possible, and then reunite with me."
"But they didn't show up. Obviously, they didn't leave. If they didn't leave, it's even more impossible for the other prisoners to have escaped... However, it's also impossible that all the prisoners escaped. Maybe only some of them escaped..."
"There really aren't many prisoners who can escape," the bandit who had captured Liu Wei interrupted. "When I rushed over earlier, I saw a group of fully armed soldiers heading that way. If nothing unexpected happens, they're going to suppress a riot."
"With that group of soldiers taking action, the prisoners who escaped will be recaptured very quickly. Not many will be able to escape."
After saying that, the bandits looked at Liu Wei with a look of good luck. Liu Wei was also very grateful. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise...
No, I have escaped from the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's mouth.
He was filled with annoyance, but then he heard Brother Hei's voice, "What's going on with the Chen family? I need to know all their news!"
Liu Wei's heart was shaken. Here it comes. What these bandits care about most is if he can...
But the pain in his feet told him not to have such an idea, otherwise he would die in a very ugly way.
So, he said bitterly, "My dear friends, I can tell you everything you want to know. Can you please let me go..."
"Tell me what you know first!" Brother Hei neither agreed nor refused, which made Liu Wei look very ugly.
But seeing that a bandit had already started sharpening his knife, Liu Wei dared not hesitate. After all, he didn't know whether they would let him go afterwards, but if he didn't say anything, he would definitely die.
"The Chen family, they..."
Liu Wei confessed everything he knew about the Chen family. Actually, he didn't know much, just that the Chen family rode in a carriage and the yamen runners took good care of them.
"Is this person Chen Yuan?" Suddenly, Brother Hei took out a scroll and opened it in front of Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was stunned. How could these bandits have Chen Yuan's paintings?
Although he was curious, he still nodded honestly. Yes, it was Chen Yuan.
"By the way, you just said that Chen Yuan has a daughter." Suddenly a bandit interrupted with a lewd smile, "Is she pretty?"
How could Liu Wei not understand his thoughts, but it was none of his business, so he nodded and said, "Beautiful, more than beautiful, definitely the most beautiful I have ever seen."
As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits immediately showed greedy looks.
Then they asked some more questions about the information they wanted to know, and stopped only when there was nothing more they wanted to ask.
Liu Wei endured the pain in his feet, looked at them expectantly, and asked tentatively, "Um, can you..."
"puff!"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a big knife stabbing out from behind him. He could see the sharp blade and the blood on it.
And then... nothing happened.
Liu Wei fell to the ground unwillingly. He regretted it so much that he should not have escaped. He could have stayed in the exile team honestly and survived.
Now, after escaping from the exile group with great difficulty, he ended up falling into the hands of bandits.
"After we have dealt with the bodies, we will ambush in the valley ahead and wait for the exile team to arrive."
"Old Four, go find out what the exiled team is up to!"
The bandit named Lao Si was the one who brought Liu Wei back.
"Now let's talk about our plan!" Brother Hei glanced around, "First, kill that Chen Yuan, then cut off his head, and then find a chance to contact the person we want to trade with."
"Where is his daughter?" The fourth brother couldn't help licking his lips. He knew that Chen Yuan's daughter was very beautiful, and he was looking forward to it.
"If she's really beautiful, then bring her back and play with her!" Hei Ge also showed a lewd smile, but then quickly restrained it, "Kill all the other Chen family members."
"Also, Third Brother, you can take this opportunity to collect money. Collect all the money in the exile team."
"Brother Hei, where are those yamen runners?" a bandit couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't Liu Wei say that? The yamen runners will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. They will definitely not be our opponents, so we will kill them all when the time comes."
"After this riot, will they be more vigilant?" the bandit asked again. "And Lao Si just said that a group of soldiers went to suppress the riot. Will they also escort the exile team?"
"So I asked Lao Si to find out the situation!" Hei Ge said, "Under normal circumstances, they won't send soldiers to escort a very important prisoner. Otherwise, they won't."
"After these soldiers suppress the riot, they will leave. We will ambush them in the valley ahead. By then, the soldiers will leave, and these yamen runners have experienced riots before, so they won't expect an ambush. This is the time when they will be most relaxed..."
