"Don't panic!" the bearded man shouted, turned his horse's head, and faced the direction where there were more bandits, "Everyone gather together, don't disperse!"

The initial panic was forcibly calmed down, and the subordinates and servants of the Qian family's caravan rushed forward and surrounded Madam Qian's carriage in the center, some timid, their legs trembling uncontrollably.Madam Qian opened the curtain and looked out, her face was cold and her brows were tightly wrinkled.

Those twenty or so people outflanked and approached from the front and back of the mountain path, obviously they had been waiting here for a long time.

Zou Jiyu looked at them secretly. These were all middle-aged men, but they were skinny and dressed in rags. Their eyes were fixed on this side, and they seemed to be shining greedily, as if they couldn't wait to jump up and eat this group of fat sheep.Looking at their hands, what they are holding is not a big sword or long sword, but a hoe, sickle or kitchen knife. Some of them don't have any iron at all, and only hold a wooden stick.

Strange, Zou Jiyu thought to himself, taking a step forward to go to the front, protecting the masses has become his instinct.

But as soon as he took the second step, he was lifted up in the air, and the bearded man threw him back into the line with one hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "You little brat, get out of the way!"

Zou Jiyu choked, a woman's hand reached out from behind and grabbed his wrist, pulling him into the carriage.

"Shh," Madam Qian lowered her voice and said to him with a serious expression, "Stay well here and don't run around."

She tidied her clothes, got out of the carriage, straightened her waist and shouted loudly: "Heroes and heroes, it's easy to discuss things, it's not easy for big guys—"

"Don't waste your time, bitch!" The tallest man interrupted her, his voice hoarse like gravel.He should be the boss of this group of people, waving the sickle in his hand, and pretending to kill him at any time, with an abnormal frenzy in his eyes, "Hand over everything, and spare your lives!"

Zou Jiyu craned his neck to see.Everyone looked dignified, the number of bandits far exceeded expectations, if one is not careful, one's life may be handed over here.The boy next to the carriage turned pale and trembled like chaff, I'm afraid he couldn't hold back and peed out of fear.

"Don't push yourself too hard," the bearded man said, he was the most threatening, and most of the bandits were staring at him vigilantly, "We have been here all year round, and we have friendship with the officers and soldiers of Shuangyi City, take your time." Some, don't break the rules on the road."

When Zou Jiyu heard that they wanted to keep all their belongings, he also murmured in his heart.Asking for money will not kill your life, and the winking caravan will give some silver as passing money, and will not report to the official in the future.The bandits usually let them go after collecting the money, and they will not kill them all.

Unexpectedly, the bandit leader was a stubborn stubble, and said in a rough voice: "Hand over to me!" The other bandits also threatened to charge up with all kinds of weapons.

What else did the bearded man want to say, but the bandit leader became impatient, gritted his teeth and the skin on his cheeks trembled: "Don't toast or eat fine wine, brothers, give it to me!"

Suddenly, a group of escorts, except for two bodyguards who know martial arts, are honest businessmen and have never seen any bloody scenes.Now they panicked, screaming and huddling together in a mess.

Several people fell and fell on Zou Jiyu.He heard the sound of swords being unsheathed, chaotic footsteps, terrified cries, cursing at father and mother, and shouts of courage to fight the enemy desperately.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Madam Qian pushed Zou Jiyu into the carriage and shouted, "Speak up if you have something to say! I'll give you everything!"

But the bandits who are red-eyed will not stop. After killing these people, these things will naturally belong to them.

It can't go on like this.

Madam Qian was still screaming, Zou Jiyu grabbed the clothes around her waist from behind, hurriedly said "offend", and stuffed her into the carriage as easily as a stuffed doll.

Now he and Madam Qian changed places, got out of the carriage, pushed and sent his palms respectively, cleverly separating the stumbling crowd.

He finally faced the ferocious bandits. These people were as thin as skeletons, and they seemed to have not eaten for many days. When they saw Zou Jiyu, they wanted to swallow him alive like that.

Zou Jiyu looked like a child. A bandit with a wooden stick mercilessly beat him with a stick.

Without blinking his eyes, Zou Jiyu grabbed the wooden stick and twisted it with his backhand, disarming the attacker.He aimed at his knee again, and immediately fell to his knees with a scream.

"The bandits are weak, don't be afraid, big guys!" Zou Jiyu shouted suddenly, "Stand up and fight back!" As he spoke, he crippled another bandit with a stick.

The members of the caravan have been on the road all year round, and their physical fitness is not bad, but they were frightened and lost their positions.They saw that a child could defeat the bandits, their morale was boosted, and they got up one after another and turned around to resist.

The battle situation was completely reversed at once.Although these skinny bandits are large in number and have weapons, they fight like three-legged cats. How can they beat two bodyguards and a group of strong and healthy adult men.Oh, and there is also a little boy who shuttles through the melee crowd and sneaks up from time to time.

Zou Jiyu watched with relief as the Qian family caravan bravely defended their property, removed the ropes from the gondola that tied up the cargo, tied up all the bandits, and piled them up on the side of the road. kicked them a few times.

Everyone gathered together and asked Madam Qian: "How should these people be dealt with?"

Madam Qian frowned: "Shuangyi City is still two days away, so it's not easy to take them on the road."

"Why don't we throw them here and let them fend for themselves," someone suggested.

"Wait," Zou Jiyu said, "May I ask a few questions."

"Brother Zhou, it was really thanks to you just now." Madam Qian turned sideways, "Please feel free to ask."

"Where, good luck."

The bearded man snorted and glanced at him: "You, it's okay." The people around nodded in agreement.

Zou Jiyu smiled modestly, turned to the bandit leader and asked, "You are not from Shuangyi City, where are you from?"

The bandit leader is a gentleman who knows current affairs, so he confessed immediately.It turned out that this group of people came from Qidi hundreds of miles away.This year, there was a catastrophe at the junction of the southwest of Qidi and the northwest of Ludi. The once-in-a-century flood submerged tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the families of the people were destroyed. The victims were desperate and migrated to various places.Some people really couldn't eat, so they came up with the idea of ​​passing caravans.

"So, we met a few disaster victims a few days ago," Madam Qian suddenly realized, "I didn't ask carefully at that time, I didn't expect the disaster to be so serious."

Zou Jiyu was calm on the surface, thinking to himself that the disaster was mentioned in the plot in his memory.

At that time, Yu Feng fell from a high position not long ago, experienced a narrow escape, and then fled incognito for half a month.After arriving in Qidi, the local officials made things difficult, and there was another baby in the mansion who needed to be taken care of. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and he really had no energy to manage the affairs of the fief.

In the next few years, he gave up on himself and let the fiefdom go his own way. The idiot name of Prince Qi even spread to the capital.The fact that the prince is so weak and bully is one of the reasons why Yu Yan acted recklessly.

Zou Jiyu suppressed his anger and started on the road with the Qian family caravan.Bandits are also poor people, but robbing and killing passers-by is an unforgivable crime. After feeding them something, they still tied their hands tightly and let them follow the team like a string of pearls, preparing to take them to Shuangyi City to report to the officials.

Finally arrived outside Shuangyi City, everyone stopped for a short time to rectify.Zou Jiyu smelled his stinky smell, and asked others for a set of old clothes that fit best.He jumped into the river and took a thorough bath. When he came up, Madam Qian was overjoyed when she saw it: "Brother Zhou is so handsome." Now the team's attitude towards him is much better, and they praised him a lot sentence.

When entering the city, Zou Jiyu was recognized as a member of the caravan and passed the inspection smoothly.

Afterwards, they separated. Zou Jiyu stood in the traffic, looked up at the shops and inns on both sides, and there was an endless stream of guests coming in and out at the door.

Yu Feng was in Shuangyi City right now, and would leave in three days.

In memory, they hid in an ordinary residential house, but did not describe the location of the residence in detail.

Shuangyi City is so big, where will he be?
