"But, these people..." One of the bandits glanced at the panting slaves.
The bandit leader's face was slightly cold, "Whoever can't catch up will be dragged away."
The slaves who were tied to a rope showed expressions of horror after hearing these words.
"Walk."
They rode away on horseback, and the slaves tied behind the horses kept running. At first, they could keep up with the pace, but as time went on, some of them could not keep up with the speed of the horses. Their bodies were dragged forward, and their legs rubbed against the uneven ground, and soon they were covered in blood.
Screams of pain came from their mouths. They wanted to run, but they couldn't.
"Boss, this won't work. By the time we get there, these people will be useless. We won't be able to sell them for a good price." Someone said.
"stop."
Everyone stopped. The slaves tied to the horses had blood oozing from their legs. There were even a few elderly men whose flesh and blood had been worn away by the stones on the ground, revealing the white bones underneath.
"Rest for ten minutes, and then continue on your way in ten minutes."
All the slaves were driven to a place to rest.
"Wow, I want to die. It's so painful now."
"I think if I can't reach the Jin army, then they're on the way."
A few slaves whispered, their voices filled with despair, but most had empty eyes and had completely lost their life, like puppets, at the mercy of others.
These people live worse than animals, and death is a relief for them.
In the group, a thin woman lowered her head, curled up her body between her legs, and sobbed continuously.
Suddenly, an army appeared silently on the hillside.
The bandits' faces changed drastically when they saw the army's flag.
"Damn it, what you fear will come true." The leading commander cursed.
"What should we do?" a bandit asked worriedly.
"Boss, there are only about twenty of them. Let's just go all out and kill them."
"Yes, kill them."
"Who's afraid of him?" someone said arrogantly.
When the leading commander was thinking about this problem, he saw that the team behind the hill had grown larger. In an instant, the number of people became more than 50, half of whom were wearing black armor.
"The boss is the North Clan's Iron Cavalry."
The Beijia Army's cavalry could defeat ten enemies at a time and was the most elite army of the Southern Tang Kingdom. The surrounding countries were terrified at the sight of the cavalry.
These bandits will only be killed if they face the cavalry.
The bandits who had just been shouting and shouting to kill suddenly changed their expressions.
The leading bandit said, "Calm down. Don't forget, we're disguised as merchants. When they arrive, don't reveal your true identity."
"yes."
After they had finished discussing it, the Bei family army was already approaching them.
"Who are you?" a soldier from the Bei family army shouted at them.
The leading bandit smiled and said, "General, we are merchants from the Great Zhou Dynasty. We are transporting a batch of slaves to Feishui City to sell."
"Do you have a pass?" the soldier asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The leading bandit took out a document from his chest and handed it to the soldier.
The soldier checked carefully and confirmed that it was correct.
He glanced at the slave again and handed the document back into his hands.
"Don't stay here, leave now."
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave right away."
