The one thousand taels really made Xu Yuheng unable to hold back, because they just brought one thousand taels with them when they came out. If he really gave them one thousand taels, this group of people would sooner or later starve to death on the road.
After all, the journey is long and the distance is not close.
Xu Yuheng's face was full of pleading: "Master, one thousand taels is really too much, how about five hundred taels? Look, we all have families to support, and we just left Anping County because we couldn't make it anymore."
"Please, please be kind."
As Xu Yuheng spoke, he knelt down in front of the scarred man and kowtowed repeatedly. Although this was very undignified, in front of bandits like the Yellow Flag Gang, was dignity more important than life?
"Get out of here!"
The scarred man had a sneer on his face and kicked Xu Yuheng directly on the shoulder. Xu Yuheng immediately showed a look of pain. Although he was not old yet, he had not exercised for many years and his health was not good.
The kick made him feel like his arm was about to be dislocated.
"Am I negotiating with you? From the looks of you, I know you're trying to escape. Not a penny less than one thousand taels is enough. I only want one thousand taels to give you a chance to live. If I kill you directly, the money will be ours."
The scarred man's eyes were full of coldness. If his superiors had not asked him to be more restrained these days, saying that the court had been very active recently and he should not attract too much attention at this time, he would have killed them all directly.
The man with the scar seemed to become more ferocious. He walked forward and kicked Xu Yuheng in the stomach again.
Xu Yuheng suddenly felt a stitch in the side, veins bulged on his forehead, and his face was full of pain.
"Stop it, don't hurt my dad!"
Suddenly, a soft voice was heard, and a young and beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked down from the carriage in the middle. The moment she appeared, the man with the scar stared at her.
It’s the best!
This was the first time he had met a woman like this in all his years as a bandit.
Xu Yuheng saw the scarred man's expression. He scrambled to the woman's side and protected her behind him. "This is my daughter. She's still young. Please don't argue with her."
"Hurry back!"
Xu Yuheng quickly spoke to his daughter behind him.
"Wait a moment."
The scarred man suddenly shouted and approached with a wicked smile on his face: "I told you that you have such a beauty here. Five hundred taels is no problem. Go away."
"But you have to keep this woman."
Hearing these words, Xu Yuheng's expression suddenly changed drastically.
The same thing happened to the woman behind him. Fear immediately appeared on her face. She had rarely left home since she was a child and was always accompanied by someone when she went out. She had never seen the brutality of the outside world.
But she was not a fool. Looking at the expression of the man in front of her, she knew that if she fell into his hands, she would definitely suffer inhuman torture.
"My little girl is still young, please spare my life!"
Xu Yuheng kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, his face full of humility.
"Damn, did I give you face?"
The scarred man immediately stepped forward and slapped him, then drew his knife and put it to his neck, his eyes full of ferocity: "Do you want to all die together, or do you want to keep the five hundred taels and this woman?"
"Or do you think I'm a kind-hearted person? Let me tell you, I've killed at least a thousand people. Stop begging for mercy from me."
These words immediately made Xu Yuheng look painful.
Even if they lost one thousand taels, they still had a chance to survive.
But if he used his daughter's life to exchange for their departure, Xu Yuheng would feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life. He also knew very well that these people in front of him were definitely not kind-hearted people.
If they continue to fight, they may all die.
Xu Yuheng turned his head and saw his daughter behind him. Her eyes were full of tears and her whole body was trembling slightly. She was obviously very scared.
Xu Yuheng clenched his fists and his eyes were red.
When the other members of the Xu family saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel anxious. Although they had a good relationship on weekdays, they were in a life-and-death crisis now. Giving up one person in exchange for everyone's chance to survive was a very worthwhile deal.
After all, who among those who have come here doesn’t have family?
Who doesn’t have elderly parents and young children to take care of?
Since the Xu family members present have families with them, they may not have elders around, but they all have children around them.
Even if they themselves are not afraid of death, they do not want their children to die.
"Chief..."
One of them couldn't help but speak.
Xu Yuheng looked at this person and fell silent again.
At this moment, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
Seeing his appearance, the scarred man knew the outcome. He sneered twice and said, "You are lucky, otherwise no one would be able to leave alive today. Leave the silver and the woman behind, and then you will all be gone."
Xu Yuheng did not take any action, but a member of the Xu family saw this and hurriedly prepared the silver and handed it over with a flattering look on his face.
"Sir, this is five hundred taels."
The scarred man handed the silver to the younger brother beside him and said: "Get out of here."
After saying that, he walked towards the woman.
Xu Youling was so frightened that she dared not move. She stepped back subconsciously and looked at Xu Yuheng with a look of help in her eyes.
She is just a little girl and doesn't understand many things.
She just saw her father being bullied, so she couldn't help but stand up and speak for him, but she didn't expect it to end like this.
"father......"
Xu Youling's voice was full of requests for help. Although she knew that Xu Yuheng might not be able to help her in this situation, she had no other choice.
Now the only person she can turn to is Xu Yuheng.
Xu Yuheng heard his daughter's scream from behind him. Her face was already full of tears. He didn't dare to turn around. Xu Yuheng was afraid that if he saw Xu Youling's face, he would stop her at all costs.
By then, all the Xu family members will die.
Generally speaking, protecting the Xu family is definitely the best option.
Because he is not the only one with children in the Xu family.
But as a parent, how could he watch his child fall into hell and remain indifferent?
Xu Yuheng regretted it very much. It was he who chose the path, and the current result could be said to be directly related to him.
"Ah! Dad, help!"
Xu Youling couldn't help but scream. The man with the scar pounced on her and started to tear off Xu Youling's clothes.
finally.
Hearing this, Xu Yuheng could no longer hold back. With bloodshot eyes, he turned around and rushed towards the scarred man, as if he was going to die together with him.
However, just as he took two steps, an arrow whizzed past his eyes and shot directly into the scarred man's head, piercing his entire skull.
Xu Yuheng's pupils contracted, and his face was full of shock and fear.
What's this!?
