Chapter 1315 (1/2)
Merchant Li understood that the situation was urgent and quickly called all the guys together to tell everyone what happened to him.
Everyone was wailing. Some guys even wanted to sneak out and join other caravans, but they were beaten and thrown back by the prepared guards.
Seeing this, we all know that there is only one way to go now. We can only spread out unhappily and pack up our things, but we all have their own careful thoughts in our hearts.
Merchant Li couldn't care what his men thought. He hurried to the luxury carriage. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. If he wants to go back alone, I'm afraid he'll be thirsty and starved halfway.
Gu Zheng can't keep an eye on the outside all the time. Now he is looking at the three of them. They are at a juncture of cultivation and can't be disturbed.
Suddenly, footsteps came. Gu Zheng perceived that it was merchant Li. With a sad face, he hurried down from the car.
”Mr. Gu, I'm in trouble now. Maybe it's bothering you.” merchant Li quickly said what had just happened, and then took out all the money he had given him before.
After listening, Gu Zheng's brain flashed the cold faced childe's face. Could he have offended the other party so unintentionally, resulting in such a big reaction.
Looking at merchant Li's gloomy face, he didn't know that the problem might be caused by the talent in front of him.
”Forget it, take the money. It's no use asking him.” Gu Zheng didn't take the money bag and pushed it again.
”Pay more attention. If there are other people you know, you can also leave us. There is no need to get involved in it.” merchant Li is not in the mood to shirk the money. Maybe he will be robbed by others in the end. He hurriedly said to Gu Zheng, and he left here.
There is still one night. At least make good use of this night to see if there is a turn for the better.
Unfortunately, all he did was in vain. It seemed that several caravans around him had received the news and did not help them one after another. One of the sea gods fell into the well and said that he wanted to transfer all their things so as not to be robbed by the bandits outside. He might as well leave it to his own people.
Merchant Li was angry and had no way. He meditated hard all night and even pinched his hair white, but there was still no good way.
The next morning, everyone began to pull up, and there were still several guards around them.
They can only watch their previous position be robbed and soon disappear in their eyes.
”Listen, you people, don't get close to the caravan. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude.” a guard surrounded by black scales gathered his team and shouted at them.
Then a sharp long sword was fiercely inserted into the ground by him as a warning to them, and then all of them rushed to the caravan.
When Gu Zheng came out, he saw a group of people standing in the same place, but he didn't seem to know what to do. There were packed things around and could leave at any time.
Seeing that Gu Zheng came out, merchant Li bitterly welcomed him and said weakly, ”Mr. Gu, I'm sorry. It's bothering you.”
”What should we do next?” Gu Zheng didn't have any depression on his face, as if he didn't care at all, but merchant Li seemed to blame him for the other party's happiness and anger.
”I decided to stay behind the big Caravan and spend seven days directly and safely. Then there will be a small town where we will rest and wait for the arrival of the next wave of caravan. It will be safe to walk together at that time, because the journey back is about the same as this time.” Li Shangren said with strong spirit.
”Well, I'll help if I need it.” Gu Zheng glanced around, then said, and then returned to the carriage again.
”Get up quickly. Do you really want to wait for death? Keep up with the front. Maybe everything will be safe all the way.” merchant Li shouted discontentedly when he saw everyone like this. Now, you can't sit and wait for death.
Everyone was a little energetic and began to carry more than a dozen cars of goods along the road, ready to move forward again.
In the puzzled eyes of businessman Li, two children, one big and one small, came out of the car and prepared to help them.
”Yo Yo, my two little ancestors, what are you doing out? Go back. This is not the place you should stay outside.” merchant Li saw it and hurried over to say.
The woman is lovely, soft and cute, and the man is full of vitality. How can they do such a thing? Besides, they shouldn't have done it at their age.
”Uncle Li, it doesn't matter. We used to do it ourselves. We're not the kind of people who can't do anything. And my master said, just let us exercise.” Xiaolan raised her small face and said sweetly.
”Yes, I'm very capable. Let's help.” ah Fei drummed his arm, and a little muscle emerged from it.
They were right, because it was Gu Zheng who arranged for them to come down to help and send some people away.
In Gu Zheng's perception, far behind, a small bandit was following up, and when they didn't notice, someone came here to explore their news.
It seems that the group will come soon.
Seeing them like this, merchant Li didn't say anything. Anyway, there's not much to pay attention to now. He just paid more attention to the goods, and the direction of the carriage is like.
They followed the trail of the caravan ahead.
Businessman Li is a very experienced businessman. According to the traces left in front, he can judge the speed and distance of the other party, show that he commands the team to accelerate for a period of time, and then move forward at a constant speed.
”Everything should go smoothly. I must have a good rest for a few years after I go back.” looking at the surrounding scene slowly retreating, merchant Li kept thinking of it.
He was thinking more and more. Half a day later, when they were stopping to have a rest and eat, a man in charge of guarding suddenly changed his face and shouted.
”Someone is coming from behind! It's a bandit!”
Because the voice of fear was a little shrill, the whole person hurriedly climbed down from the roof. As a result, he didn't step on it in the middle, so he fell down directly and fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Needless to say, the sound of horses' hoofs came from a distance. Everyone knew that an uninvited guest had come. He quickly put down his lunch and subconsciously wanted to escape.
”Let's get ready to fight. There are only a few people on the other side. Don't be afraid.” seeing a man who was injured immediately, merchant Li sighed. It was really unlucky that one was injured at the beginning. When he climbed onto a carriage and saw that there were only a few people on the other side, he immediately shouted with great joy.
You know, there are more than a dozen people here, and the other party is estimated to be just a scout guarding behind. If all of them unite, maybe the other party won't risk attacking them.
Hearing what merchant Li said, a group of them turned a little scared, quickly took out the sword and shield on one side, and then the carriage quickly blocked around, leaving only a gap in the middle. They were very skilled in such a situation and were very suitable for small groups of robbers.
By the time the bandits arrived in front of them, they were ready to defend.
”Don't you go down and have a look?” Frost said to Gu Zheng in the carriage. ”The strength of the other party is so strong. I'm afraid there will be some casualties.”
Although there are only five people on the other side, the leader has third-order strength and has a fierce breath. At a glance, he knows the elite who fled from the army.
Other people also have second-order strength. Although the number is small, for a group of ordinary people, there is simply no one and way to deal with each other.
”I knew they were behind me, so I sent them out before. This time is just their experience.” Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and lay comfortably in the back.
”But they only study for such a short time. Will there be any danger?” frost raised the side curtain, looked at the scene of tension and said with worry.
”Don't worry, I won't put anyone's life in danger.” Gu Zheng said faintly, and his body was recovering quickly.
