Chapter 22 Entering Longao Village
Su Yang was shocked, "Ten thousand taels? You might as well just rob them!"
The burly man was puzzled. "Aren't you talking nonsense? We are just robbing."
"Stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly, otherwise we can't guarantee that you guys can get through safely."
"It seems that you are escorting a noble from the capital, right? Since you, a small official, can't afford it, why not let them pay?"
The burly man glanced at the crowd, and everyone he shot lowered their heads.
The silver they had hidden with so much difficulty could not be wasted.
"Master," Su Yang turned to look at Su Song, "How about... let them hand it over?"
There are many people on the opposite side and they have weapons. Looking at the fearless look of the strong man and the swaying grass and trees in the forest from time to time... I'm afraid there are people hiding in secret. It's better to spend money to avoid disaster, so as not to lose both the wife and the soldiers.
Su Song glanced at Shen Xun casually, and seeing her nod slightly, he said to the strong man, "No money."
Su Yang was dumbfounded.
He knew that his master was upright, but this was not the time for him to be upright!
The sturdy man was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Then come with us to sit on the mountain!"
He didn't believe that this group of people had no money. Since they refused to pay, they would be tied up and taken to the mountain. All the silver found would belong to their Longao Village.
Su Yang said anxiously: "Master, Master, please say something, Master..."
Su Song did not respond, but let the strong man snatch his weapon, tie his hands, and push him up the mountain.
Seeing that Su Song did not resist, the others followed him obediently and went up the mountain together.
The strong man curled his lips and cursed, "Coward."
If you still don't resist even in such a situation, what kind of person are you if not a coward?
not to mention……
The strong man glanced guiltily at the place hidden in the forest. The reason why the place was shaking was that he had sent a few children from the village to play tricks.
Their leader led a large group of people to a place to rob the convoy of a high-ranking official. There are only a dozen young and strong people in the village.
Su Song and others were escorted up the mountain. After turning left and right for a while, they finally saw a village.
As we entered the village, we saw a group of children playing and fighting.
When the children saw the strong men coming back, they swarmed over and surrounded Shen Xun and the others to watch.
Then, Shen Xun saw the burly man with a face full of flesh squeeze out a sweet smile and said, "Children, it's getting late, go home and eat!"
The children chattered and invited the strong man to their home for dinner, but the strong man cheerfully refused. After the children left, he sneered, "Come on, lock them up in the woodshed!"
This is also playing face-changing!
Shen Xun complained.
There were quite a few people in their group, and fortunately there were many firewood sheds in Longao Village, so they could lock up part of the people in one room. Chen Xun and others were locked up together with Su Song.
Su Song stared at Shen Xun: “What is Miss Shen’s plan?”
Shen Xun's hands, which were tied behind his back, moved quickly, and in a few seconds, the hemp rope was freed.
"No plan," Shen Xun untied the ropes for the others, "Just rush out and capture the leader first."
Susong: Why does it seem so unreliable?
Chen Xun chuckled: "Just kidding, this is my plan, Prince Hu and I will first... then... then..."
Su Song nodded reluctantly, this plan was pretty good.
He also untied the rope himself and helped Xie Lan beside him to untie it. Xie Lan refused and he also wanted to try to untie it himself.
As a result, it became tighter and tighter, and finally Shen Xun had to cut it open with a dagger.
Xie Lan: “…”
Qi Yunzhou and Qi Yunxi said: "We are so smart, we must be like our mother."
Qi Yunxi nodded in agreement.
Xie Lan: “…”
Susong began to worry about another thing, "But we don't even have weapons..."
"Bang--"
Shen Xun took out a pile of weapons and placed them on the ground, then asked in confusion, "Master Su, what did you just say?"
Su Songmo said, "Nothing."
Shen Xun pointed at the weapons on the ground and said, "Master Su, please take your pick."
Su Song chose a broadsword, and Shen Xun, Xie Lan and others also chose their own weapons.
"Hide your weapons first. King Hu and I will take action first."
Chen Xun looked at King Hu, who understood and held his stomach, crying out in pain.
"What's going on in the room? What's the noise?"
When the two bandits came in, a panicked expression instantly appeared on Shen Xun's face, "My eldest brother is crying out for a stomachache, it hurts so much!"
Upon hearing this, King Hu, who was rolling on the ground, screamed even louder, as if he was going to die from the pain in the next second.
The two bandits frowned and went into the house together, wanting to check on King Hu, but as they approached, they heard the door closing.
The two men subconsciously turned around and saw that the door was closed. They wanted to shout loudly, but their mouths were covered by two handkerchiefs.
In an instant, both of them fainted.
Shen Xun snapped his fingers, "Master Su, go rescue the others, distribute weapons to everyone, and then follow my signals."
Su Song said subconsciously: "Okay."
When he realized that he shouldn't have listened to Shen Xun, Shen Xun had already slipped away.
Su Song was upset. He was the emperor's man and shouldn't be with Shen Xun and others...
"Master Su, let's go!"
Xie Lan pulled him out, and Su Song's thoughts were interrupted. Along the way, Qi Yunzhou and others kept chattering about his next plan. Su Song had almost no time to express his loyalty to his master in his heart.
A hint of cunning flashed across Xie Lan's eyes. With so many of them, couldn't they lead Su Song astray?
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, a good minister chooses a master to serve, and his family's A Xun is the wise master!
On Shen Xun's side, when she found the place where the bandits were eating, she saw a group of strong men eating meat with big mouthfuls, but they didn't drink any alcohol.
Strangely enough, as she walked along, she didn't see any young men in the houses, only the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Of course, her third son Shen Yunzheng was not seen either.
Shen Xun thought about it, and a guess arose in her mind.
Could it be that Shen Yunzheng took most of the people in the village out?
The more Shen Xun thought about it, the more likely it seemed. To verify her guess, she covered her nose and lit the candle in her hand.
Wisps of green smoke drifted into the house. Shen Xun counted down to five, and the sound of people falling to the ground one after another could be heard from inside the house.
After she went in, she found that the strong man who had been talking to Su Yang was still trying hard not to close his eyes, so she slashed at him with a knife, and the strong man fell to the ground without even having time to shout.
After sending signal fireworks into the sky, Susong led his men out and quickly took control of the unarmed women and children in the mountain village.
Chen Xun didn't let them kidnap women and children, he only kidnapped a few strong men who were awake but unable to use any strength.
Gathering them in the meeting hall of the mountain stronghold, Shen Xun patted the tiger skin on the upper seat and sat on it.
"Who can tell me where your boss is?"
The burly man said viciously, "You want to find our boss? Dream on! We won't tell you!"
Shen Xun looked around and saw that although the others looked scared, they also gritted their teeth and refused to answer her questions.
"Don't tell?"
Shen Xun chuckled: "Then I have no choice but to offend..."
"Swish--"
There was a sound of breaking air, and Shen Xun grabbed the arrow with his backhand.
"Who is looking for me?!"
