On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Today is a rare good weather in winter. The sun is shining in the sky, and the east, west, and west winds have not come out to cause trouble. By the end of noon, the warm sun makes Xiao Xiao sleepy while sitting on the edge of the straw pile.

Mainly because he got up too early in the morning, Xiao Xiao was wondering if he should go back and take a nap?
Just when she was about to get up, several young men who were staring at the intersection came running over with nervous expressions: "Come on, come on, there is a carriage coming in front."

Fortunately, the haystacks were stacked and they hunkered down so they were not discovered.

The people who were gathered everywhere all stared at Xiao Xiao nervously.

Xiao Xiao wanted to roll her eyes: "Look what I'm going to do? Just as we rehearsed before, get ready."

On the other hand, Jiang Baihu and the others were really rich with this vote. They robbed fifty or sixty wealthy households and got at least two to thirty thousand taels of silver, as well as some gold and silver jewelry.

Of course, there were countless mule carts and horse-drawn carriages.

Jiang Baihu didn't let his men ride in mule carts like him, not to highlight his identity, but Zhang Qianhu sent people over and asked him to prepare some grain and herbs and doctors to transport them there.

Therefore, he asked his subordinate Xiaoqi to lead a dozen people, and a dozen people from Zhang Qianhu's side to escort the people in the back house to load grain and grass.

And he brought twenty-six people with him to massacre the village and bury the gold, silver and jewels he collected.

Most people like gold and silver that can be seen and touched, so there are few silver notes found, and most of them are gold bars, silver ingots and the like.

Of course, it is also possible that the banknote is too small and difficult to find.

As for why the village was slaughtered, it was naturally because they were afraid that they would find gold, silver and jewelry.

Jiang Baihu didn't care about the ordinary people in this small village at all. The back house was a big village, and few people dared to resist, let alone a small place like this?

"Sir," the driver's subordinates saw the "brothers" gathering together at the intersection from a distance, waved to them "enthusiastically", and quickly replied: "Liuzi and the others have come to pick us up. They must have taken the people in this small village. Cleaned up."

He didn't really recognize the people, but he recognized that the clothes they were wearing belonged to their guardhouse.

Moreover, he suspected that Liuzi and the others had cooked the food themselves. Their faces were all so dark that they couldn't recognize who they were.

But even so, he had no doubts and had absolute confidence in his own people.

As we neared Xutian Village, straw was scattered at the intersections. The horses pulling the cart didn't know whether they were hungry or greedy, so they refused to walk and gnawed the straw on the ground.

The soldiers behind quickly stepped forward to clear the straw on the road, and shouted to their companions not far away: "What are you doing? Why don't you come and help?"

I thought they were companions, so of course they spoke their dialect.

Xiao Xiao asked the villagers to pretend to be those people. He couldn't understand what they were saying, and he suddenly became panicked.

They dare not speak, and are even more afraid of being noticed.

Xiao Xiao, who was hiding nearby, did not expect such a change. He handed the bow and arrow to Boss Xiao beside him and whispered: "Don't move, I'll go out for a while."

Boss Xiao wanted to pull her, but Xiao Xiao avoided him.

Xiao Xiao pulled her hair, ran out with disheveled hair, and cried and shouted: "Adults, the sisters you tied up want to run away..."

The few villagers pretending to be people were not stupid enough and immediately turned around and ran back.

Not only did this not make Jiang Baihu and his men suspicious, but many people were muttering in their hearts: Liuzi and the others were too good at doing what they wanted to please adults.

Knowing that the Lord is a womanizer, he still keeps the girls in the village.

However, thinking that they could also get some light, everyone's hearts became hot and they gathered the straw faster. They all wanted to go and take a look right away. At this moment, an accident occurred. Their feet were empty, and their whole bodies sank down, falling heavily into the pit.

Before they could react, a dozen men holding torches rushed out from nowhere, threw the torches into the pit, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Baihu was contemptuous from the beginning, but now he saw that the trap was on fire. The dozen or so men who had fallen into the trap were crying for help...

Jiang Baihu jumped down from the carriage angrily, drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Come up here, kill them, and find water to save people."

After they got around the trap and cautiously moved forward with their eyes wide open, suddenly a strong wind started in front of them, and the lime blew towards them with the strong wind.

Jiang Baihu, who was walking in front, noticed something was wrong and immediately closed his eyes and shouted: "Close your eyes, it's lime powder!"

At the same time, he flew up and swung his sword towards the place where the lime powder was blown out.

Unfortunately, all those people had run away, and he killed Lonely with one sword.

No, it hit the winnowing machine and the sword got stuck there.

The people behind Jiang Baihu were not as alert as he was. Some of them closed their eyes just a second too late, and lime powder got into their eyes. The irritating pain made them unable to hold back tears, fearing that standing there would become The targets all squatted down and began to wipe their eyes with both hands: "Water, give us water quickly..."

After all this trouble, only twelve people were still standing there.

When Jiang Baihu was about to draw his sword, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, subconsciously tilted to the side, and a hidden arrow flew past his ear.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another arrow hit his shoulder.

He endured the pain and quickly leaped to the other side, avoiding another hidden arrow.

And his men also shouted in panic: "Sir, there is an ambush among us, there are archers."

Jiang Baihu wanted to scold people. These idiots were really useless. Now that he had been hit by an arrow, why should he use them to remind him that he had archers?

He also instantly understood that the six men sent earlier were probably gone, but instead they had made the people here prepare in advance so that they could be plotted against them now.

He only has one question now: Are the people in this small village really ordinary people?

Are all the bandits living here?
Otherwise, how could you be so bold?

This thought only flashed through his mind, and he shouted: "Spread out, line up in a line, and kill them all for me."

If you really meet a master, you won't work hard to dig holes and make traps, nor will you hide in the dark without anyone showing up.

Even if he couldn't believe it, he still understood that they had really capsized in the gutter this time.

No, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten arrows flew out from the dark.

After all, they were soldiers with many achievements. After being reminded by Jiang Baihu, they all immediately followed their leader's instructions.

But just like that, two colleagues were shot in the vital parts by hidden arrows and fell to the ground instantly.

Of course, there were more hidden arrows, but they were still on guard and separated them with swords.
