Chapter 66: Discovery of the Horse Bandits

Amidst the sound of heavy footsteps, several black figures crept in from the darkness.

"Wooooow!"

Seeing the torch, the two shadows in the middle struggled immediately.

"Be honest! Or throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

Since the opening of the Grand Canal, it is unknown how many people have died in it. One or two bodies sank, and no one would care.

Fang Xing leaned against the tree trunk, looked at the two men with their hair wrapped in cloth towels, and said calmly, "Since you're here, don't even think about getting away. Tell me, who are you from? Where are you going to attack?"

Seventh Xin took the cloth out of a man's mouth and warned, "Don't do anything stupid, even if you shout here, no one will hear you."

A servant was leading two captured horses over. He burst out laughing when he heard it, and then quickly covered his mouth and pulled the horses to centralized management.

Having harvested two horses first, Fang Xing was in a good mood, so he didn't care about what Xin Laoqi said just now.

"Ho ho ho!"

The man knelt on the ground, panted, and raised his head and said, "Since it has fallen into your hands, do it if you have the means. In a few days at most, we will meet together in the underworld!"

Fang Xing said with some loss of interest: "Since you don't want to say it, Lao Qi, leave it to Jia Quan and the others. You can watch from the sidelines and learn from Jin Yiwei's methods."

"Jinyiwei?"

The man was shocked, struggling and said: "Aren't you just a rich man from the countryside? Where did Jin Yiwei come from?"

Xin Lao Qi sneered: "My young master is the star of Wenqu, what's so great about Jin Yiwei!"

"Ahem!"

Jia Quan couldn't listen anymore. After coughing twice, he came out from the front, gave Xin Lao Qi a glance, then looked at the two captives as if admiring a work of art, and said, "I haven't used it for a long time. Now, this skill can be said to be a bit unfamiliar, but today I have a chance to practice it."

The two trailing thieves stared dumbfounded at the two Jinyi guards approaching. In the darkness, the evil spirit seemed to be a ghost, or a devil from the ground. It was grinning and ready to eat blood.

Two of Jia Quan's subordinates took out some weird tools from their bags, Fang Xing shook his head, left the group and went to the river.

The Grand Canal flows quietly, silently connecting the north and the south of China.

Footsteps came from behind, Fang Xing didn't turn his head, and then Ma Su said: "Teacher, why are these thieves attacking us?"

Fang Xing turned around, looked at Ma Su who was shivering from the cold, and said, "This is not something you need to know right now, go back to sleep quickly."

Ma Su looked at him firmly, "Teacher, is it because of...His Royal Highness?"

Fang Xing didn't answer, so he accepted the answer by default.

The struggle for succession has always been fierce, among which the Xuanwumen Incident in the Tang Dynasty was the most bloody and direct.

But judging from the current situation, the opponent probably only regards Fang Xing as a small character. Otherwise, Fang Xing would probably suffer disaster when he passed the Yamen in Shuntian Mansion last time.

"ah!"

A suppressed howl came from the grove, Fang Xing frowned and drove Ma Su away, quietly waiting for the result.

Not long after, Jia Quan, who still smelled of blood, came.

"Young Master Fang, they are a gang of horse bandits. Three days ago they received a commission with the goal of..."

"The target is me."

Fang Xing turned around, rubbed his frozen face and asked, "How many people are there? How about the equipment?"

"The other party is on the only way out of Gunzhou Mansion. There are about sixty people, and they all have horses."

Seeing that Fang Xing was still very calm, Jia Quan said urgently: "Young Master Fang, let's go by water, and then go by land to Yangzhou Mansion."

Along this Grand Canal, you can go directly to Yangzhou Mansion, and even to Yingtian Mansion in the capital.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No,

I'm worried that the other party will play tricks on the waterway. At that time, we will be called every day, and the land will not work! "

"But……"

Jia Quan said anxiously: "But the opponent has horses. Once they attack on the plain, there are more than ten of us, it's really not enough for others to slaughter!"

The charge of the cavalry can overwhelm the defense just by virtue of momentum.

As for Fangjiazhuang's servants, plus Jia Quan's three people, these people are really not enough for a round of shock.

Fang Xing shook his head, took a deep breath, and said confidently, "I have confidence in my servants!"

"Hi!"

Seeing that Fang Xing didn't listen to the persuasion, but went to sleep in the tent instead, Jia Quan stomped his feet and said angrily, "Isn't this an egg hitting a rock!"

Ten servants, together with Xin Laoqi and Jia Quan, are fourteen people. This group of people is really as fragile as a chicken and a dog in front of those years of gangsters.

After a good night's sleep, the convoy continued to set off. Fang Xing took over the command and arranged for the front and rear scouts.

The three of Jia Quan stayed up all night, worried that they would encounter horse bandits in front of them.

The convoy didn't stop at Jinan Prefecture, but just bought some supplies, and then hurried on the road again.

...

Dagon Prefecture arrived, and the convoy camped outside a small town.

"Mr. Fang, according to what that person said, they will do it after they pass the Dagon Prefecture Mansion."

With dark circles under his eyes, Jia Quan came to persuade Fang to wake up again.

Fang Xing asked him to sit down, and then introduced: "I have seen the map, there are very few mountains between here and Xuzhou, the so-called surprise attack is just a luxury."

Looking at the map, Jia Quan forgot the purpose of his visit and said hesitantly, "Then what do you mean..."

Under Jia Quan's heartbroken eyes, Fang Xing punched the map.

"The disappearance of the enemy's scouts will inevitably take into account that our strength is not weak, so they will definitely choose to attack directly with the cavalry in the wide no-man's land..."

Jia Quan's eyes lit up, "There is a guard over there, as long as we can block the first wave of impact, the enemy will have to retreat!"

"But we can't stop it!"

"We can stop it! And... I don't just want to stop them."

Jia Quan lowered his head and sighed, he had seen the cavalry attack before, not to mention resistance, the impact alone could make one's heart shattered.

Let's die together!

After passing Gunzhou Prefecture, the scenery in the plains is boring, and the farmers are all dozing off in the car, drowsy.

"When will they come?"

Jia Quan has been struggling with this problem all day.

"I'm most worried about those horse bandits coming before dark!"

Before dark, people and horses were exhausted, and everyone just wanted to camp, light a fire and cook.

At this time, the vigilance of the team is the lowest, and the ability to resist is also the weakest.

Fang Xing's carriage was newly built, but it looked dusty on the outside as it traveled along the way.

Xin Laoqi rode over and said to Fang Xing who was sitting on the shaft, "Master, the scouts ahead have spotted the horse bandits."

Fang Xing checked the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. He took a deep breath, turned around and said to the car, "Shu Hui, you stay in the car. Don't panic when you hear anything. Remember, don't worry about it." Don't come out."

Immediately, two gnats poked out of the car, their faces full of worry.

"It's okay, it's just some little thieves."

Fang Xing jumped out of the carriage, got on the big white horse, yelled, and went to the back.
