Glory in Troubled Times: The Empress' Growth Path

Chapter 13 Undercurrent
All the robbers formed a circle in the temporary camp, thinking about which of the two roads to choose.

A road, a trail.

If you choose the avenue, you may meet escorts with high martial arts skills and many goods sent by the government to guard them.

It is not easy to deal with any of these people. If they find out that their brothers are ambushing here, they will definitely attract the government to encircle and suppress them again.

The last encirclement and suppression had seriously damaged the vitality of his village.

If you choose the trail, it has snowed heavily recently, the trail is not safe, few people will walk, and it is likely to be empty.

The rough man standing in the middle of the crowd said: "Third brother, you will take Brother No. 30 to ambush on the road early tomorrow morning, and when you see a convoy of less than ten people, shoot and kill the people inside, leaving no one alive. If you are discovered in advance by the government that comes and goes, you will be withdrawn directly."

"Second brother, you take No. 15 people on the trail to intercept those who escape from the main road, the old rules, no one will be left alive."

"I don't know how many days of snow will fall in the future. When you go out this time, you must bring your things back. If you have two empty hands, you don't have to come to see me again. Find a place to kill yourself, and you can give others Brother save a few rations."

The robbers looked at each other, as if they were facing an enemy, the leader had already spoken, if the robbers were driven away in this winter, it would be impossible to survive.

It seems that this time we need to sell some ruthless products to make sense.

A group of people in Zhao's residence had been on the road for a long time, before the sun was bright, Master Zhao ordered everyone to stop and rest.

Many guys jumped out of the car to exercise their muscles and bones. After driving all night, they were already hungry. Many people took out the dry food they had prepared in advance and started to gobble it up.

Mr. Zhao and those guys were sitting together, eating the same dry food. Those guys seemed to be used to it. Some of them took out their own pickles and shared them with everyone. Of course, Mr. Zhao was not left behind.

"Master, can we sell the goods at a good price this time?"

"Maybe, if you arrive early, you will meet more people, and you won't even be able to drink soup."

Zhao Ting'an secretly glanced at Hua Qiong while everyone was eating.

She was still asleep, holding the dagger he gave her in her hand.

Seeing her so quiet for the first time, Zhao Ting'an couldn't help being crazy.

Hua Qiong thought that he might meet a robber last night. It was the first time he experienced such a thing. He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. After all, he was a robber who treated people like livestock. In the end, he couldn't resist the biological clock and fell asleep in a daze.

"Wang'er, what are you looking at so preoccupied?"

"Going back to the master, I'm checking to see if the goods are damp, everything is fine, everything is normal."

"Okay, don't look at it, come and eat something, I have to go on my way later."

As long as you pass the fork in front and walk a little further, you will be Baizhen, that well-known town, the place where they make this month's money and bounties!
With hope, everyone cheered up and waited for Master Zhao's arrangement.

"Li Er, go ahead to explore the road, the snow has just melted, and see if there are any traces of carriages and horses on the road."

This young man named Li Er has a clever look on his face. Every time the master orders him, he can execute it very well. If he is asked to explore the way, Master Zhao is the most at ease.

Outside the robbers' stockade, the second child and the third child are arguing over who should go to the main road.

"Second brother! The boss has already arranged for you to go to Xiaolu, why don't you listen?"

"Third brother, don't think that the government can ride on my head after killing some of my people! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! You eat meat and let us drink soup, dreaming!"

"Second brother, I just came according to the request of the elder brother. If you are not convinced and go to the elder brother to argue, why do you have to compete with me when you are out of the village?!"

"You're right, I don't want to waste my time with you, brothers! Follow me to the road!"

The third child rushed forward and stood in front of the second child, and the robbers around him also surrounded him, and the crowd waited for their arrows to explode, and no one would let anyone else go.

"What does the third brother mean? Is it true that the second brother doesn't care about me anymore?"

The third child poked the second child with his fingers, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "Calling you second brother is to give big brother face, no, yes, for you."

After all, he headed towards the main road without looking back.

"Second master, are you really letting them go like this?"

The second child smiled darkly, "If you don't let them go this time, they won't have a chance to go."

"I have sent someone to investigate the situation on the avenue, which really surprised me."

The little guy who asked the question couldn't figure it out.

The second child said slowly: "The good show is still to come, let's go to the trail to ambush first, let's go!"

Li Er used his past experience to come to the fork in the road, walked a few steps into the avenue, and saw a few trees overwhelmed by snow lying in the middle of the road.

After crossing those trees and continuing to move forward, there is already a lot of water in the deep potholes on the road.

There are often vehicles and horses on this road.

But today I am afraid that it will not work, so I can only take the trail.

After Li Er returned, he reported these situations to Mr. Zhao one by one.

After everyone has rectified, they are ready to turn into the trail.

The robber's second boss, with No. 15, also rushed towards this side.

"There is something wrong with the second master! There are four carriages coming in front, and they seem to have a lot of things!"

And the master looked out of the woods.

The people who came were all dressed in official uniforms, and there were quite a few bodyguards with them. There were not many of them, about 13 of them.

If you don't expect it, you may be able to get a lot of things.

Erdangjia's heart was hot for a while, and he habitually held the weapon in his hand.

But now there is the youngest staring at him, and the attitude of the head of the family is not clear. Those people are not easy to provoke, they are guards and bodyguards at the same time.

If I were the old self, even if the other party had three times as many people, I would still be able to win.

It's all my fault that I followed the way of the third child and made great efforts to face the government, but it turned out to be the most thankless one.

Thinking of the past scenery and the current predicament, the hand holding the weapon kept rubbing.

I'm really not reconciled!
Still can only shout that sentence.

"Let them go!"

"They are the first group of people, and there will be more in the future! Cheer me up!"

"If anyone loses the chain at this time, don't blame me for not recognizing people under the sword."

The third child who arrived at the avenue has already arranged a tripping rope. The driving speed on the avenue is often faster, and the tripping rope can be well intercepted and cause chaos.

Thinking that I had gained a lot today, and when I went back to see the face of my second child who wanted to kill me but couldn't, I was very happy.

God help me too!

He sent his brothers to lie in ambush on both sides of the woods, and just waited for the prey caught today.

The robbers who followed the third child were also extremely excited, and they couldn't help showing the victor's attitude on their faces.

On the trail, Zhao's motorcade had already entered.
