The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 54
No one was seen yet, but Jing Li instinctively believed in Huo Shen's judgment and turned around to tell everyone: "Let's go!"

Uncle Tiesheng and Jing Dafu took the lead and set off immediately with a team of people, leaving a mule cart behind for Jingli and Dalang.

As soon as the team walked out, Jingli saw Dalang and several young men from a distance.

When Dalang ran up to him, he was out of breath from exhaustion, and his clothes were clinging to his body with sweat on his head.

"Hurry up, hurry up and kill someone."

Jingli didn't wait for him to finish speaking, threw him onto the mule cart, then hurriedly left with a crack of his whip.

After Jingli and the others left, another half an hour passed before Shen Huwei, covered in blood, appeared with a few people, followed by officers and soldiers in hot pursuit. For a while, the official road was filled with dust.

Da Lang took a deep breath before continuing: "The officers and soldiers killed people. As soon as the Wang family's carriage arrived at the city gate, for some reason, someone started to snatch the carriage and the girl. Guard Shen saw that something was wrong, so he took the lady with him Run back with the girl."

"Brother Dalong and I watched from a distance. When we saw that the situation was not good, we ran back quickly."

Jing Li frowned slightly. She had heard that girl show off that her second uncle was the chief official in the city. He would kill them on sight, probably without even asking who they belonged to. This was indiscriminate killing!

"Inform the people in front to speed up as soon as possible. The officers and soldiers are very likely to catch up!"

Most of their group relied on one pair of legs, so no one's horse could come faster. If Shen Huwei escaped, he would have fled this way. If he caught up with them, he would definitely be killed by the enemy.

After running away for about an hour, Uncle Tiesheng came over and said, "Captain, many of us can't run anymore. If we keep going like this, sooner or later we will be overtaken by officers and soldiers!"

Dalang looked anxious, only regretting that he was running late when he came back to report the news, and didn't buy much time for everyone: "It's a pity that there are no mountains nearby, and there is no way to go up the mountain to avoid it!"

There is a small forest beside the road. It is not very dense. It is right next to the official road. It is impossible to hide people.

Jing Li turned around and could see the silhouette of Shen Guards. She must have been followed by officers and soldiers. Looking at the men looking at her one after another, Jing Li said in a deep voice: "Let Sister-in-law Su take the old man and the child to hide in the woods." Go, Aunt An will lead people to guard the forest."

"Uncles and brothers, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape. Now we have to fight for our lives in a desperate situation. Are you afraid?"

The men shouted: "Afraid of a ball, these idiots have caused us to leave our homes and are not letting go. They will cut off our livelihood and kill them!"

"Fuck them! Fuck them!"

Shen Huwei arrived amidst the shouts of this group of people like wolves and tigers. He looked at this group of people with extremely vigilant eyes. There were robbers in front of them and officers and soldiers behind them. This situation was too difficult.

Jing Li stepped forward and said, "Whether you believe it or not, we are really not bandits, and we have never done anything to rob homes. Now, it seems that we have to join forces, otherwise no one will be able to escape when the officers and soldiers come. What do you think?" ?”

Shen Huwei couldn't believe it: "Do you mean to go against the officers and soldiers?"

Jing Li rolled her eyes: "What if? You wash your neck and wait for them to chop it? If you think so, then don't run away, hold on for a while, and let those of us who want to live escape first."

Miss Wang behind Shen Huwei yelled: "Are you still a human being? You actually asked us to block the knife for you!"

Jing Li didn't seem to hear anything and just looked at Shen Guard. Shen Guard cupped his fists and said, "I can't thank you enough!"

Miss Wang behind her hurriedly shouted: "Shen Zhiming, how could you?" Jing Li interrupted her with instructions: "Everyone, prepare! We are about to face a tough battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Huwei looked at this group of people in surprise. In pairs, they pulled up several horse ropes on the road, and then quickly set up their bows and arrows. The simplicity of these young men suddenly appeared. Disappeared, filled with a terrifying aura of killing.

Aunt An stepped forward and took Miss Wang and her mother away. Miss Wang kept scolding Guard Shen for betraying her master.

Shen Huwei also ordered the men around him: "Brothers, we must work together with these brothers to kill these bastards!"

The dozen or so men who escaped alive all had red eyes and clenched the knives in their hands. The people left at the city gate were all their brothers!

When about fifty or sixty officers and soldiers caught up with them, they saw a group of refugees in ragged clothes on the opposite side. They were overjoyed. If they were all cut down, it would be possible to make a hundred households out of a thousand households!
The officers and soldiers roared happily and rushed over. The first man was tripped by the horse rope and fell off his horse. The others behind him couldn't control themselves and fell again. Several of them died under the hooves of their own horses.

The ones behind them reined in their horses in time, but before they could step forward, they were attacked by a wave of arrows, and a dozen more fell off their horses.

Fortunately, only the ten or so people in front were on horseback, and those behind them were all foot soldiers. They were already exhausted from running with the horses, so Jing Li and the others were able to deal with them with ease.

The officers and soldiers were angry. They were the ones who always made things difficult for the lowly refugees. How often had they seen such arrogant refugees? They were so angry that they rushed over with a slap on the butt.

But he saw a girl leaping into the air, and using the power of the horse corpse next to her, she chopped off the head of the man with a knife.

The men next to you also flew over with axes, kitchen knives, and sticks, and the boys also followed behind and threw stones. Don't think that you can't deal with you while riding on a horse.

The officers and soldiers behind were stunned. Are these still refugees?Are there such tough refugees?

They said they were officers and soldiers, but to put it bluntly, they were just former bandits who had taken refuge here, otherwise they would not have killed the refugees in a hurry and pretended to claim military merit.

When I saw how fierce these people were, I felt frightened, turned around and wanted to leave.

But how could the people of Jingjia Village, who had killed the bandits, let them go so easily? As soon as they turned around, the people behind them were already aiming at them with arrows.

The remaining ten or so people were so frightened that they immediately dismounted and knelt down to beg for mercy. The men didn't care whether they begged for mercy or not. They went up and beat them hard. The women also came out of the woods and beat them.

Some people took rolling pins, some took hoes, and some just scratched people's faces.

Guard Shen, who had no time to take action, was stunned: You still say you are not robbers?
Seeing that the group of officers and soldiers were almost dealt with, Jing Li took action to control the situation: "Stop!"

The men and women who were still murderous just now stopped, started to put away their belongings, and picked up the kitchen knives and other items they had just thrown out.

The officers and soldiers who were showing off their power a quarter of an hour ago looked like defeated fighting cocks. Their hair was messy, their faces were covered with wounds, and few of their clothes were intact. They were all lying on the ground looking disheveled.

Jing Li came over with a knife: "Who is the leader?"

The officers and soldiers didn't dare to say anything for a long time. Jing Dafu stepped forward and kicked him down: "I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?"

Then someone pointed to the front and carefully replied: "The leader was chopped to death with a kitchen knife just now!"
