The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 99
Hearing Jia Lian's praise, Xue Pan was quite pleased with it, so he invited Jia Lian to have some warm food inside.

Jia Lian was already hungry, how could he refuse the invitation?
Immediately, he called the coachman to pull the carriage over, sympathizing with the difficulties of the soldiers along the way, and hurriedly called the soldiers to take shelter from the wind in the camp surrounded by the caravan vehicles.

Even the soldiers who had scattered around to investigate were called back by Jia Lian.

……

After wandering around.

Jia Lian and the others found a corner surrounded by several carriages, which was just sheltered from the wind and could also cover the dust blowing from the official road.

Seeing that Jia Lian and the others had chosen the place, Xue Pan immediately ordered the caravan staff to light a bonfire for Jia Lian, and brought over two rabbits, three chickens, and half a pot of broth.

After Jia Lian thanked Xue Pan, he, together with a group of soldiers and servants, guarded the bonfire and waited for dinner.

The accompanying coachman turned into a cook, carefully tending the bonfire, turning the roast chicken and rabbits on the bonfire from time to time.

After a while, the lingering aroma of barbecue mixed with the smell of broth came out, making Jia Lian, who had eaten cold food for a few days, only feel his tongue swell and his index finger twitch.

The coachman filled out the broth, first served it to Jia Lian, and then served it to everyone one by one, and everyone wolfed down the rare hot meal with the dry food they brought.

……

While eating, a horse "da da" ran past on the official road.

On the horseback, a rider with a blue cloth wrapped around his head stared at the arrangement personnel in the convoy as he passed by, and quickly remembered it in his mind.

However, the abnormal behavior of the passing rider fell into the eyes of the steward in the caravan.

The steward's name was Zhang Dehui, and he had been the manager of Xue's shop since he was a child. He was very experienced in running the shop, going out of business, buying and selling.This time, he was keenly aware of the shortage of paper notes and spices near Shenjing, and it was this person who sold them and made a lot of money.

Zhang Dehui, who is used to being a businessman, naturally has some understanding of those diameter-cutting methods.

Therefore, seeing the abnormal performance of the rider at this time, Zhang Dehui couldn't help but "click" in his heart.

Busily getting up, I found Jia Lian and Xue Pan who were eating and drinking around the campfire.

After tugging at Xue Pan, Zhang Dehui's face was solemn,

"Boss, the rider who just passed by, kept staring at the inside of our convoy when passing by our convoy, I felt something was wrong!"

"Maybe it's curiosity? Or it smells like meat!"

The calmness along the way made Xue Pan's nerves relax a long time ago, "The capital city of Ping'an Prefecture is just ahead, and there are thieves, how bold can you act at the foot of the capital city?"

Jia Lian on the side listened to Zhang Dehui's words, but his face couldn't help becoming serious.

"Brother Xue, don't be careless about this. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Let's be more careful, it's better than shedding blood for nothing!"

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Zhang Dehui quickly nodded and said, "Second Master Lian is absolutely right, and based on my experience, there must be something wrong with that person!"

He also persuaded: "Most of our caravans are small servants and servants. There are only ten or eight guards. It's okay to frighten little thieves. If we really meet those strong people who specialize in cutting trails and robbing for a living, we may be in trouble." Already!"

Seeing Zhang Dehui's affirmation again and again, Xue Pan's complexion also changed a little. On the way to business, he met a strong man who cut the path. This situation really made Xue Pan feel a little bad in his heart.

"Then tell everyone to pack up and get ready to get up! Hurry up and run to the capital city of Ping'an Prefecture!"

Soon, there was a lot of noise in the camp after learning about the situation, and everyone quickly got busy, packed their things in a hurry, and then drove to the capital city of Ping'an Prefecture in a hurry.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Jia Lian, Xue Pan and others saw a cloud of smoke billowing from behind.

Leading the way were dozens of cavalrymen with different equipment, some with knives and guns, and some with bows and back arrows. Most of them were wearing thick leather jackets as armor, and only a few Wearing half armor.

The cavalry roared recklessly and rushed towards the caravan.

Behind the cavalry, there is a large mess of robbers, knives, guns, sticks and forks, and there are really all kinds of things in them.

This is a group of robbers!
This group of miscellaneous robbers stirred up smoke and dust all over the sky, and they ran wildly, chasing after Xue Pan's caravan.

His face was full of bloodthirsty desire and greed for goods in the caravan!
……

Far away, the sharp whistle of the bandit cavalry attacking the vanguard reached the ears of Jia Lian, Xue Pan and others.

Coupled with the rumbling and messy sound of horseshoes, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.

"The man before was really the spy of the thief!"

Xue Pan exclaimed.

Jia Lian's complexion is not so pretty either...

Next to the caravan, five soldiers turned their horses around without Jia Lian's orders, and rushed forward with their knives drawn.

The remaining five people waited for the front to rush out for a certain distance before they drew their swords and horses, trotting and began to charge.

Between the flashes of the knife, there is the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

The bandit cavalry headed suddenly saw a small group of heavy armored cavalry appearing in front, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"This fucking is a heavy cavalry?!"

"Damn bastard, Li Si, that idiot, how did he investigate? The large group of heavy cavalry in the caravan didn't even see it!"

Looking at the heavy armor and harness of the heavy cavalry on the opposite side, the robber cavalry wanted to turn around and run away immediately, but at this moment, the cavalry on both sides were facing each other, and the distance was rapidly closing, so it was too late to say anything.

Slowing down and turning around at this time is tantamount to suicide!

"Brothers, what about the heavy cavalry, let's fight! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, kill!"

The leading bandit cavalry roared.

"kill!"

Amidst the shouts of killing, all the robbers opened their eyes wide, gathered all their strength, and swung their weapons fiercely.

Boom!

As if two waves of different colors collided, the cavalry from both sides collided with each other.

Roaring, neighing, endless!
But for the same charge, the endings of the two are completely different!

After a hedge, the bandit cavalry was completely defeated!

Jia Lian and the others in the rear could clearly see that the heavy cavalry in front of their house had just rushed past the bandit cavalry, and the cavalry in the back came in another wave.

The sharp blade cut across, and the blood spattered!
The robbers on the opposite side fell down in pieces like straw that had been cut down in the field!

……

Facts have proved that full of bravery is actually useless in the face of absolute strength and equipment!
After two successive waves of heavy cavalry charges, this group of bandit cavalry with messy equipment seemed to have been combed through a comb, leaving only a few scattered ones still riding tenaciously on their horses.

The few surviving robber cavalry rushed to the caravan with numb horses.

Afterwards, with the caravan guards' faces facing the enemy, a few scattered arrows were shot out, and regardless of whether they hit anyone or not, the robbers fled away in a hurry, without even thinking of turning back.

"..."

Everyone in the caravan was left looking at each other.

……

After completely killing the bandit's cavalry, the guards turned their attention to a group of bandits rushing after them.

And the miscellaneous fish robbers saw their own cavalry being swept away like chopping melons and vegetables. When You Zi was in shock, a group of heavy cavalry had already rushed over...

Blood splashed everywhere, severed heads and limbs flew around...
