Each of the guards below was equipped with a finely crafted long sword and whip.
Only the leader standing at the bottom with the miners had only a whip in his hand, but that didn't stop them from shouting and commanding.
Ji Changying just took a quick look and her face darkened.
"There are at least two hundred guards on that mountain, and they are well-armed."
Hearing her words, Tu Hai frowned: "How do you know?"
Ji Changying didn't answer.
Tu Hai didn't care whether she believed it or not, but she felt that letting Ji's people rush forward like this would be like courting death.
And this is iron ore!
Who would dare to touch this? I don't know which royal child is so blatant as to make such a move under the noses of the government.
From mining to transportation, the goods passed through the hands of so many people. She didn't believe that the local government didn't know about it.
Moreover, those who are mining don’t look like they are doing it voluntarily. Who in their right mind would be willing to do this?
Speaking of which, this method is somewhat similar to that of Wuhe Mountain. Could it be that it was done by the same person?
Thinking of this, Ji Changying's brows relaxed.
No matter whether he did it alone or not, since he met her, it means he is unlucky.
Ji Fengshou's face was filled with worry. "Aying, are there really two hundred people on the other side? And are they all well-armed?"
Ji Changying nodded: "About the same, no more, no less."
"Oh! We can't just move forward without thinking. We have to think of a way." Ji Fengshou murmured.
"Have you ever thought about giving up?" Ji Changying frowned. If you want to earn this money, it depends on whether you can earn it.
Ji Fengshou curled his lips and said, "Ever since we started to feel that our ancestors are blessing us, our hearts have become wilder day by day."
Besides, who would be willing not to give it a try now that it’s right in front of them?
Isn't this like putting a piece of meat in front of a wolf, allowing it to only look at it but not eat it?
Ji Changying saw her father taking the clan leader and Zhang Zi away to discuss things for them. She quietly reached into her small bag and put a pair of sledgehammers in it.
She pulled Zhou aside and said, "Mom, I'm going to give you something good, but you can't give it to anyone else."
Zhou was delighted: "What is it?"
Ji Changying quietly opened her bag: "I found this specifically for you."
When Zhou saw what was inside, her eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to pick it up.
The two hammers were shining with metallic luster and looked delicately made. Even the grips seemed to fit Zhou perfectly.
The hammer was very heavy. Zhou weighed it in his hand and was reluctant to let it go.
"This thing fits perfectly!" Zhou waved his hand twice, feeling that he could kill a tiger with one hammer.
Seeing her mother happy, Ji Changying was also very happy: "I saved this especially for you. Don't use your hands when hitting people in the future. But don't use this carelessly. Don't use it if you meet a bad person."
Zhou nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I know!"
Ji Fengshou believed Ji Changying's words 100%. Tu Hai was half-believing and half-doubting, but he also felt that it was better to believe it than not.
"Why are there no young people in this village?" Tu Hai thought of something and asked the person who was leading the way.
"They went out to 'work'. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be back now."
The man who led the way suddenly showed a strange smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to grab Tu Hai's wrist and bent it in the opposite direction. He rolled on the ground and raised his foot to cut Tu Hai's neck.
A sharp object appeared on the toe of his shoe at some point, and Tu Hai had no choice but to take a few steps back.
"uncle!"
The people behind Tu Hai exclaimed.
The man who led the way didn't want to fight anymore. He found the right opportunity and took two steps back to a deserted place. He put two fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
"Kill him!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Tu Hai quickly gave orders.
Ji Changying looked around with a frown on her face: "Everyone, grab your weapons! There are people nearby!"
"Catch the turtle in the jar! You still want to leave after coming here? Wishful thinking!"
The person who led the way didn't panic at all when he saw so many people holding knives to attack him.
"Bah! I didn't expect that I was wrong. You actually have a weapon hidden on you. I'll send you back to reunite with your brothers!"
The bearded man rushed forward with his crescent-shaped sword in hand, determined to capture the man and atone for his sins.
Unexpectedly, this person was very skilled in fighting. He was not at all inferior to others in the fight. The bearded man wielded the crescent-shaped sword with great force, but he could not even scrape off the opponent's skin.
"Nah~~"
The Saker Falcon in the air let out a sharp warning cry.
Xie Siheng frowned and instructed Huang Lao: "Take them and hide in the crowd later. Keep the poison powder for your own self-defense and don't throw it around!"
Old Huang looked nervous. Upon hearing this, he grabbed a handful of poison powder, stuffed it into his arms, and ran towards Ji Changying.
At this time, this girl has to feel safe!
Xie Siheng loaded the crossbow in his hand, stood on the carriage and looked behind them.
There were a lot of bandits on horseback heading here.
"People are coming."
Ji Changying looked behind.
Whether it was the direction of the village or the people behind, they all appeared suddenly as if they had heard the whistle.
Seeing so many people, the bearded man had to pause his siege on one person and stood back to back: "Master, we've fallen into a trap!"
Tu Hai's eyes were heavy: "I know that without you telling me."
"Hahaha, Qingshan! You've done a great job this time! I'll give you a good celebration tonight!"
An old man stood in the direction of the village, looking at the green mountains leading the way with eyes full of approval.
Qingshan also smiled: "Thank you, Village Chief."
