After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 20 Bandits are rampant
  With a command, the convoy stopped quickly.

Several soldiers approached on horseback. Geng Dabiao cupped his fists and asked:
  "Sir, something happened?"

"Have the people sent to investigate just come back?" Jiang Che's eyes vigilantly scanned the dead wood forest road ahead.

The leader of the team looked around, narrowed his eyes, and said quickly:
  "My lord, I haven't returned yet, and the recovery time has expired."

Jiang Che nodded and said secretly that it was true.

From the moment he entered this area, he felt something was abnormal. Not even a bird, animal or insect could be heard. It was too quiet, and 90% of people were ambushing here.

In addition, the detective did not return after the time limit, and the situation became obvious.

"Send the order, the convoy slowly retreats backwards, be careful, everyone has their swords out of their sheaths, people mount their horses, and their arrows are in the strings." Jiang Che ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"Yes!"

"Commander Jiang, Madam sent me to ask, but something happened?" At this time, the old housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion also came forward and asked.

"Reporting to Madam, there may be an ambush here. We will retreat for the time being and wait for the spies to find out the situation before rushing on." Jiang Che replied, his right hand already holding the handle of the knife on the horse.

"what!"

The old housekeeper's pupils shrank and he was full of shock. He had no time to say anything more to Jiang Che and trotted forward to report the matter.

But just when Jiang Che reported it.

"call out!"

On a sunny day, a firework rose from the dead wood forest ahead and exploded in the air.

"No, everyone is based on the convoy and forms a formation to face the enemy!"

Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately shouted.

Twenty well-trained veterans were the first to react, surrounding the front of the convoy, ready for battle.

'Rumble'

The sound of horse hooves quickly reached my ears. I turned around and saw dozens of horses roaring from behind, cutting off the retreat of the convoy. At the same time, in the dead wood mountain forest ahead, dozens of figures also flashed and gradually moved towards The convoy moves closer.

There really is an ambush.

"Da Biao, be careful."

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and drew out his long knife.

"Brother Che'er, I will fight my way out later. You take them away first. If you can survive and remember this kindness, help me destroy the Geng family." Geng Dabiao held a nine-ring heavy sword with both hands and looked solemn. .

"You will avenge yourself. Look at my eyes later and act accordingly. If nothing can be done, you and I will fight a way out from the side." Jiang Che flicked his fingers, and the snow-white blade buzzed.

Geng Dabiao was stunned: "But this. If the Zhu family is left here, Lieutenant Zhu will be blamed."

Jiang Che grinned:
  "If a person dies, can he be grateful? Remember, the most important thing is to survive."

This is Jiang Che's attitude.

He finally got out of the military service, how could he really risk his life to protect other people's families?
  He's not that stupid.

"I understand."

Geng Dabiao nodded, knowing what Jiang Che meant.

"Mother, what should I do?"

On the carriage, Zhu Qingqing opened the curtain and looked at the changes around her. Her face was pale. She was so frightened that her body was trembling slightly. She was so arrogant and domineering that she was facing the tenant servants in the village.

But in front of this kind of desperado, she didn't have the courage.

Mrs. Zhu was calmer than Zhu Qingqing and held her hand:
  "Don't panic, don't panic, Dad is the captain of Fengzi Camp, and he has a bit of a bad reputation in the surrounding area. Maybe the other party won't dare to take action. If... if it really comes to a dangerous place.

Just stay with Jiang Che and survive first. "Then what do you do?" "

"Just leave it to fate."

Mrs. Zhu suppressed the fear in her heart and whispered.

There were nearly a hundred people in total, surrounding the entire convoy, but the other party was not in a hurry to take action. The cavalry surrounded them, and those in front gradually approached.

"I don't know which mountain top you brothers are from. Can you tell me your name?"

When everyone was confused, Jiang Che was the backbone. He sat on his horse and stared at the people in front of him and shouted.

"Crouching Tiger Mountain, Song Ji."

After a commotion on the opposite side, a man wearing tiger skin cotton armor slowly walked forward. He looked ordinary, but his body was extremely strong, on par with Geng Dabiao, who was 1.9 meters tall.

With his bare hands, his eyes seemed to be addicting to people.

"Does Mr. Song know whose family this cavalry team belongs to?"

Jiang Che cupped his fists and said.

"Even if I am the King of Heaven, I have to leave something behind when I pass here today."

Song Ji didn't give any face, even to Jiang Che, who was wearing cloth armor and could tell at a glance that he was from the military.

"I am in Xiajiang Che. I am escorting some things to Yanggu County under the orders of Zhu Sheng, the captain of the Fengziying camp of the Tai'an Prefecture, and escorting some things to Yanggu County. Can Mr. Song give Captain Zhu a piece of cake?"

In fact, under the attack from the other side, Jiang Che had already guessed that the other side was coming for them. The reason why he was dealing with the other side here was to delay time, and to observe the surroundings to see which direction would be the easiest to strategically retreat alone. .

"As I said just now, even the King of Heaven can't do it, but I, Crouching Tiger Mountain, have always been the most ethical person in the world. As long as you are willing to hand over one-third of the team's property, I can let you live."

Song Ji shouted loudly.

On the other side, Zhu Qingqing had already changed into men's clothes, quietly approached Jiang Che, and whispered:
  "Brother Jiang Jiang, my mother said that we can give them property, as long as we are fine."

"What do you know? Once we let go of our defenses and no longer have the convoy to rely on, everyone will die." Jiang Che scolded mercilessly.

He was ready to run away, even if Zhu Qingqing was Zhu Sheng's daughter, he no longer trusted her.

"I listen. I listen to you. If anyone is in danger later, can you take me to break out with you?" Zhu Qingqing lowered her head, her face flushed with shame.

It was difficult for her to accept that she had been named Deputy Commander Jiang before, but now he had become Brother Jiang when he was in danger.

"Of course, Miss Zhu."

Jiang Che smiled with a smile on his face.

I was worried that I couldn't find a human shield to block the arrow, but I didn't expect it to be delivered directly to my door.

Moreover, the other party has to say thank you.

"Thanks."

Sure enough, the next moment Zhu Qingqing thanked her excitedly.

Then he stood beside the horse without saying a word.

"Master Song really doesn't give Captain Zhu this face?"

"That's a lot of nonsense, hand over your things and get out of here." Song Ji scolded impatiently, but his eyes kept staring at Jiang Che fiercely, ready to give orders at any time.

Jiang Che's guess was correct. At present, everyone was relying on the convoy, and the twenty soldiers were formed like hedgehogs, making it difficult for Song Ji to attack. In order to reduce casualties, he just asked them to let go of the formation and sacrifice the convoy.

"It is absolutely impossible to hand over the convoy. If Master Song wants property, he can come and attack. Jiang is not afraid!"

Jiang Che gave an order, and the twenty soldiers who were already on guard made gestures to prepare for the attack.

"court death!"
