Chapter 39: Weapon in Hand
The man riding the horse was thin and looked even shorter than an average woman. He had narrow eyes, a big nose, and skin as black as a charcoal ball.
When Zhao Si saw this person chasing after him and claiming to escort him back, he absolutely refused to believe it.
It's a trap!
There must be something fishy going on!
It would have been fine if he had let the old man lead him here, but he actually wanted to trick me... Just do it, at least send someone with a kind face. Sending such a mean-looking person really makes me look down on him!
"Hey, why are you getting more and more excited the more you run..."
This was the first time a male ghost possessed someone, so he was not only inexperienced but also very nervous.
I was afraid that I would break the rules of the underworld and turn myself, a good ghost, into a lonely ghost!
Seeing that the pursuers were about to catch up, he squeezed his legs to ride his horse and quickly caught up with them. Then he leaned over and put his hand on Zhao Si's shoulder and lifted him up behind him.
"hold me!"
Zhao Si's butt hit the horse, and the palm wind he swept out immediately disappeared into thin air. He became extremely quiet, and after the silence, he actually put one arm around the waist of the man in front of him.
Those who can trust you with their backs are definitely not your enemies.
Although... this development almost made him drop his jaw.
Zhao Si turned around in a daze, only to see the horse bandits who had been chasing him just now stopped with their eyes wide open, as if they had even forgotten the bows and arrows in their hands.
"Has Old Blackie gone crazy?"
"Damn it! He wants to surrender? Does he think the bounty on him is too low?"
"Should we still... chase after them?"
The two sides were separated by a distance of a hundred meters, staring at each other silently, and both felt uncomfortable.
Only Chen Chunxing, who was hiding in the tree, clicked his tongue in disgust.
"It's an eyesore."
She quietly retreated into the woods, sat on the waterwheel, and slowly pulled the reins.
Now the layout is complete, just waiting to be harvested.
——
Over at the tea stall.
The two gangs started fighting amid the villagers' cursing.
As the fight went on, frustration appeared in the eyes of the masked men.
They had long expected that these officers would be more skilled than ordinary escort officers, but who could tell them what about those skinny beggars who fought to the death?
In October, they had half their arms exposed and their lips were blue from the cold, but as soon as they saw an official alone and in danger, they would inevitably gather in groups of three or five, swinging their fists and launching extremely vicious verbal attacks!
Wei Da almost looked like he couldn't bear it after hearing this.
It's really too dirty to curse...
Shen Mingqiu, who arrived later, was about to prick up his ears and learn from the experience when Yang Yi threw him into Xue Yongan's carriage.
"Be good."
"Be good, sir!"
When Shen Mingqiu lifted the car curtain, he saw someone slashing at Wei Da with a knife. Before he could warn him, he saw Yang Yi raise his palm as big as a palm fan and slap the thief to the ground.
Dust was flying everywhere.
Even the sounds of fighting seemed to stop for a moment.
He immediately sat back down.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Xiao Lao San does not kill someone he is not sure of.
Inside the car.
Xue Yongan pulled the corners of his mouth into a stiff smile, racking his brains to form a sentence.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Mingqiu was stunned, looked at Xue Yongan suspiciously, turned his head and did not respond.
He had reason to suspect that the man was frightened silly.
Your brains are about to be beaten out, how can you still have the mind to think about food?
He is indeed a cowardly county magistrate who is afraid of death and obsessed with women!
“…”
Seeing his brother opposite him with a stern face, he just glanced at him and then turned his attention to the window. Xue Yongan inexplicably felt like he was being scolded and touched his nose.
"Don't be afraid. Just stay in the carriage. Nothing will happen."
It would have been fine if he didn't comfort me, but once he did, he immediately started to speak happily.
Luo Jinzhi, who had already hidden in the crowd and was protected by the police behind her, suddenly shouted in panic.
"My master! My master is still in the carriage! He's going to Chiling Pass to take up his post. Don't hurt him!"
Wei Da's face changed when he heard the voice. He didn't miss the viciousness in the woman's eyes and shouted sternly: "How dare you, you thief!"
Xue Jiazi can be polluted but not harmed!
But if he died at the hands of bandits and horse bandits, it would have nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion!
What a good plan!
The masked men had been attacking for a long time and had become impatient. When they heard that there was someone here who wanted to be an official in Chiling, how could they be willing to stay!
They immediately moved towards the carriage.
“Damn it!”
Shen Mingqiu slammed the window frame hard and stared at Luo Jinzhi fiercely, having already written the date of her death in his heart.
The death of the old pervert was not a pity, but the eldest sister had specifically warned her before she left that nothing must happen to this man at this moment.
"Whether you're fully healed or not, get moving right now. Run as far as you can. Don't hold me back..."
Shen Mingqiu quickly pulled something out from behind his waist, but before he could finish his words, he felt his hand was empty.
The special dagger given by the eldest sister quietly fell into the hands of someone else.
"Eh..." Xue Yongan skillfully grasped the exceptionally narrow dagger, his palm flying up and down, leaving only a cold moon-white light. "It's a little small, but it can be used."
The last time he fought a pack of wolves alone, he suffered even more injuries because he lacked such a handy weapon.
Now that I have a sharp weapon in my hand... I am even more fearless.
"Wait here, I'll be back soon."
Shen Mingqiu stared blankly at Xue Yongan as he got out of the car. It was not until he heard those overly confident words that he came to his senses and looked out with a frustrated look.
"No way... Could it be that I picked up another killer?"
He seemed to have just remembered how fishy the stewed wolf meat tasted.
When he heard the official admit that the wolf meat belonged to Xue Yongan, Shen Mingqiu thought it was just hypocritical humility between adults. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew... The old pervert looked a little whiter, but his body was not weak.
Outside the car.
Xue Yongan moved among the crowd like a ghost. Every time he raised his arm, someone would fall down with blood spurting out from their neck, making him look like a ghost.
Not to mention that Shen Mingqiu felt that his face was in pain, even Wei Da couldn't help but hold his breath.
He kicked aside the people blocking his way, took a few steps closer to the carriage, and shouted in a deep voice to Xue Yongan, who was still chopping melons and vegetables, "Why didn't I know before that my dear brother had such good skills?"
Xue Yongan: "..."
Try to smile back.
I just feel that this sentence is very familiar...
"Brother! Look, our people are coming!"
The two people who were laughing awkwardly at each other were broken by a sentence and quickly looked into the distance.
Amidst the billowing dust, a group of horse bandits, also wearing sackcloth with their heads wrapped, were approaching.
"Enemy?" Wei Da's expression finally changed. Just as he was about to give an order, he saw an arrow shot from behind him, pinning the leader's horse to the ground. He was confused, "Reinforcements?"
Xue Yongan, who was being questioned, remained silent and sighed with regret: "What a waste."
In a barren and desolate place like the border, or even in the army, if you encounter a villain and can defeat him, everything he gets will be his spoils of war.
He was so poor and was anxious to earn some money for Susu.
