On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 34 Spending money
  Facing a strong enemy, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang didn't hesitate at all. They shouted "Run" almost at the same time, and then quickly turned around and ran away.

Xiao Xiao did not forget to shout: "Boss, come and pick us up, we have an idea! There are fifteen or sixteen people..."

She said this deliberately, not only to remind herself to be on guard, but also to make the gangsters behind have worries.

Sure enough, the gangster, who was originally very aggressive, was chasing after him with all his might, but after hearing Xiao Xiao's words, his steps slowed down.

The pudgy man next to him looked hesitant: "Boss, there are a lot of fat sheep recently. If we encounter a hard idea, it won't be worthwhile. How about we withdraw first?"

They originally escaped from prison during the war. None of them were heroes. They were all bullies and afraid of the strong.

For more than half a year, due to the war, no one has taken care of the junction here.

Taking advantage of the convenient location, they started a business without capital, and finally enjoyed it. Of course, they did not want to confront others head-on.

The sword has no eyes, who knows if he will be unlucky and be injured by the other party.

Just like a few days ago, when three carriages passed by, they couldn't help but take action, but they encountered a tough fight. They fought evenly, and both sides suffered losses. Now there are seven or eight brothers who are recovering from their injuries and unable to come out to work?
  Besides, they have met a lot of fat sheep these days, enough for them to enjoy for several years, and they really don't want to lick their blood.

I'm afraid that the sword has no eyes, and I will be the unlucky one who gets hurt.

The other tall guy frowned and contradicted him: "Are you scared out of your wits? Maybe that little girl is talking nonsense and deliberately scaring us?"

The boss is not for nothing. Not only is he the best in martial arts among the group, but he is also good at both skills. He said in a deep voice: "Follow us first and take a look. If the situation goes bad, we can retreat in time."

Now they are familiar with the terrain here. After encountering a tough enemy last time, they made several traps just to have a way out when encountering a strong enemy.

By the time they caught up, Xiao Xiao and the others had already joined the two families.

The Xiao family and the Wu family have studied before. What should they do if they are unlucky enough to encounter a robber and their side is injured or weak?
  Xiao Xiao still remembers that among the thirty-six strategies, in addition to the walking strategy, there are also beauty traps and empty city strategies.

If my father, my second uncle, and the two young men of the Wu family were not injured, they might not be incapable of fighting.

But now, these four who are more powerful in combat can't use their strength. If they really fight, they can't even think about it.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao also quickly jumped onto the mule cart, took bows and arrows with her sisters, occupied the window, and prepared for a sneak attack.

Behind them, the mules, carts and carriages were also lined up. Achang and Aquan each occupied a window and set up their bows and arrows. They were purely for decoration.

Moreover, they were injured and did not have the strength to draw the bow and shoot the arrow.

In addition, Xiao Dalang, Erlang, and the Wu brothers all held knives and held them up, looking menacing.

Xiao Youfu was still standing in front of them, using the scabbard as a crutch, pretending to be a master.

The gangsters who were chasing after them were really frightened when they saw their appearance.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Dalang said loudly: "Boss, my little sister has already gone to invite the adults behind. Let's wait for the adults with a cup of tea."

The robber couldn't tell whether his words were true or false.

When the tall man saw the knife they were using, his whole body tensed up, and he said viciously: "I think the scabbard on that kid looks like one from a government office. He must be a corrupt official with a lot of evil intentions. He's probably fat. We should do justice to God and destroy them."

If Xiao Xiao could hear what he said, she would definitely be very happy that she finally met someone who knew something. She didn't believe that they were all such brutal gangsters.

If the people do not fight with the officials, even if they are forced to become bandits, most Liang Shang heroes will still not want to fight against the officials and soldiers.

The leader, Mr. Sen, saw that the woman from before was also missing. He really thought that she had gone to the back to bring reinforcements, and he started to retreat in his heart.

"Shut up!" Even though Boss Sen agreed with his words in his heart, he still said with a stern face: "It's not like there are no good officials who make decisions for the people! It's just that we are unlucky and haven't encountered them!"

After saying that, he clasped his fists at Xiao Youfu and said: "We are all forced to have no way out by the bullies' heavy taxes, so we only accept money as a loan, and never hurt innocent people." He wanted to save face after all: "You leave some money. Give me some money for tea, and we won’t hurt our harmony.”

Xiao Youfu likes his look very much.

In fact, the fifteen or six strong gangsters on the opposite side made him nervous, fearing that his legs would become weak and his body would tremble, causing them to realize that they were all paper tigers.

Now that he heard what the boss across the street said, he wanted to agree and spend money to eliminate the disaster. It was worth it.

But they were afraid that they would give in so quickly and make them wary.

So he could only look directly at the other person: "Bold, do you know who our Lord is?"

At the critical moment, he forgot what his daughter had said before.

He didn't even know how to deal with it.

At this time, Xiao Xiao whispered: "When shooting, don't hit anyone!" He also carefully explained the direction where everyone wanted to shoot.

If you can't hit anyone, this is a threat to them, so they should be wary.

If you really hit someone, you are afraid of irritating the other person and forcing them to fight.

Xiao Lian took aim and murmured: "It's difficult to hit someone, but it's not easy to miss someone?"

When Xiao Xiao said to shoot, the arrows of the three sisters shot in front of Boss Sen almost at the same time.

Boss Sen was so frightened that he took a few steps back, angry and frightened: "How dare you stab someone in the back!"

Finally it was Old Man Xiao's turn to speak.

This was what Xiao Xiao taught him to say. He raised a curtain and said loudly: "If I really wanted your life, you would have been lying down now."

"We are General Xiao's servants. My general is hunting behind with his bodyguards. When they come, none of you can leave."

When he heard his granddaughter's last words, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but look at his granddaughter in shock, and finally shouted to them: "If you want to save your lives, just leave me a hundred taels of silver to seal the seal." fee."

After saying that, he felt a little numb.

Not only him, but all the Xiao family and Wu family suspected that they heard wrongly.

Where did you get the courage? How dare you ask for money from gangsters?

In fact, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to do so. They all wore simple clothes and could only pretend to be servants.

Then there can only be a butler who bullies others and likes to make money to agree with their identity.

She bets now that the other party is not just a person with muscles and no brains.

I hope that if the other party likes to entertain, then my play can continue.

When they heard that asking for money would cost them their lives, some gangsters became furious and said, "I'm dreaming, I'll fight them."

The worried gangster whispered: "Boss, we can run!"

Boss Sen was reluctant to give away one hundred taels of silver for free, but he was afraid that if he really didn't give it, the old guy would slander him in front of the general, and if he really led troops to suppress the rebellion, his life would be in danger.
