Chapter 1018 Ringing Horse Attacks (1)

It was another half a day to go, and when the sun was about to set, the nearly two hundred people, four caravans and dozens of big cars had already arrived for fifty or sixty miles, and it had really reached the remote wilderness.

Seeing that it was getting darker again, but there was no village or shop behind it. A group of merchants next to it were already complaining: "If I had known this, I would have stayed in the Cao Family before for a short stay..."

They dared to rush to the night yesterday because they were close to Youzhou City. No bandits dared to commit crimes there. But now they are dozens of miles away from Youzhou, and the government troops in the city are already out of reach. In addition, it is dark, and everyone feels pressured. Especially, the guy who claimed to be an escort business not only recommended himself to Li Ling and the others, but also talked to other caravans, but everyone is the same. He refused to pay the money in vain and sent the people away.

So now, there are still people who should invest and hire those escort companies before regretting it, so that they can have more guarantees on the way. At this time, except for Li Ling's team, no one spoke, there was only the team of more than ten people who caught up in the end, and they just kept following everyone forward quietly.

The reaction of the people in this team made Li Ling feel a little curious, so he winked at one of his personal guards. The latter understood and immediately rode his horse to the side, greeting with a smile: "Are you guys going to Luoyang? It seems that you are not worried about any trouble."

"Haha, we are not going to Luoyang, but to Huaibei further south..." The man in charge replied with a smile, showing his heroic spirit in his words and deeds. "We brothers have made a living under the knife, and we don't take it seriously."

"So that's it. It seems that we can follow you all the way, so we will be more confident and have more confidence." The man held the other party and asked casually, "You guys, are you the best names?"

"We are a rough man, where did we get the name of the surname Fan? My surname is Fan Laoliu. These two are my brothers, Laoqi and Laojiu..." Fan Laoliu was a happy person. He immediately introduced himself and then learned the name of the guard. When he wanted to ask Li Ling and his people, several merchants on the other side also became interested and were busy communicating with each other's names and places to go. Obviously, they also had the intention of getting close to the Fan brothers in order to get shelter.

Fan Laoliu and others were indeed enthusiastic. In the face of these people's friendship, they also dealt with each other one by one, constantly patting their chests, and agreed that they would ensure everyone's safety. If there were indeed any thieves and horses attacking, they would be told that they would never return.

Li Ling listened in his team, but his brows frowned slightly. At this time, the window of the carriage beside him opened, and Sun Bi also greeted him. The two of them quickly talked in a low voice:

"Do you think there are some problems with the Fan family?"

"Well, they don't look like businessmen at all. They don't see the cleverness of businessmen, but they look like people in the world. Moreover, they are too enthusiastic, so how can they be flattered by others and have no chance to promise to protect so many people's safety?"

"Yes, and the vehicles behind them all looked light and there were no products..." "Are they coming for us?" Li Ling said, and then looked at the small caravan not far away, feeling even more suspicious.

It’s not because of his cup of bows and snakes, but because he is too likely to attract the enemy’s pursuit. Since the other party has flaws, he will naturally think about that.

"You have to go camping tonight, right? You have to be careful." Sun Bi reminded him again.

Li Ling nodded and said yes. When he left the vehicle, he whispered a few more instructions to Li Moyun. The latter nodded solemnly, and his eyes fell more on the Fan brothers, guessing their true identities.

While they were talking, they drove out again, and as it was completely dark, someone suggested that they rest by the road tonight and wait until dawn tomorrow before rushing.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, the Fan brothers who made this suggestion were the Fan brothers. Other caravans wanted to get along well and ensure safety. Both of them were really tired from traveling all night last night, so they did not object at this time. They slowed down and found a place to be in the wilderness, quickly set up a bonfire, set up a camp tent, and prepared to rest on the spot for one night.

These people are used to running around outside and getting used to sleeping in the open air. Everything is naturally arranged in an orderly manner. Soon, tents fell to the ground, and food that needs to be cooked was placed on the bonfire. The smoke and the fragrance of food were floating around...

When everyone was away, they were very close to each other, so they all divided some food into other families. The same was true for Li Ling. However, when they took the food handed over by other families, they didn't dare to eat it, but just hid it secretly.

Then after eating and drinking, the Fan brothers took the initiative to take on the duty of vigilance, and the others went to bed. Li Ling left two personal guards to continue vigilance, and others were sleeping because of fatigue.

Li Ling, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves.

Because he was already wary, even though he had fallen asleep, he still remained quite alert. When he quickly got up, he saw that Li Moyun and others had already gotten up and picked up their weapons. Even Sun Bi was leaning against the side of the vehicle and drew his sword in his hand.

This made him blush. He was far inferior to everyone in this regard. Of course, Li Ling was much better than the people in the caravans around him, because most of them were urgently woken up, and he woke up with a daze, obviously he didn't know where he was and what happened again.

Then the clear sound of horse hooves finally woke them up completely. When they looked around, they saw fires everywhere galloping towards their base. In addition to the sound of horse hooves, there were also arrogant shouts. These guys obviously did not hide their intentions, and they used to make such noises.

"There are at least a hundred people, all cavalry..." Sun Bi's face darkened. With his current experience and eyesight, he could naturally easily see the number of knights surrounded. He was shocked. This kind of momentum was quite rare even if it was placed in a heroic place like northern Xinjiang.

Was it really coming for his own home, not the so-called bandit? Li Ling's heart sank, and his body shrank back. If he really wanted to fight, he couldn't become a burden, so he had to get into the car and hide.

As everyone was surprised and at a loss, the more than a hundred loud horses had already arrived from all over the world. When the torches shone, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes were those shiny weapons and arrows with bowstrings. They were obviously prepared. While using their powerful momentum to threaten the merchants, they took the lead and walked out slowly, laughing and shouting loudly:

"You guys, please tell me. I'm the heroes of the famous Four Seas Alliance in Youzhou. You are smart, so you hand over all the property and goods you have with you. If you burst into teeth, you will be waiting for your head to land now!"

Accompanied by the leader's threat, other horses around him shouted and howled, and a threat came from the chaos: "Leave something, get out quickly..."

Many people in the caravan were already frightened and had a fight, especially after seeing the bows and arrows aimed at them, they didn't even dare to let go. Anyway, most of them were hired to transport goods and the goods were not theirs, so how could they fight against them? So they all hid back and pushed the real owners of several caravans who were still hesitating, including Li Ling and the whole team.

The merchants suddenly became even more nervous and trembled. They looked at the horses, and plucked the courage to show a smile that was even worse than crying. They bowed and said, "Good guys, please spare your life... We are just a small business, relying on businessmen to make some money to support our family. The goods in our car are really worthless... Please give us your hands and let us go..."

"Yes, yes, we can take out thirty taels, no, fifty taels of silver for all heroes as filial piety. Please leave us a way out..."

This begging brought back a sneer from the crowd of horses: "I just want to send our brothers fifty taels of silver. Do you think it's a beggar? Leave everything behind and get out! Otherwise, no one of them will leave!"

As he said that, the leader had already raised his knife in his hand, and his murderous aura was naturally revealed, which was not a joke.

The merchants who confirmed this were even more panicked. Without any room for maneuver, they could only hope to boast about the Fan family who had previously said that they could protect everyone, hoping that they could take action to drive away Xiangma.

Fan Laoliu also stood up at this time and acted quite old-fashioned. He first clasped his fists and said, "Everyone has its own sources, and all the worlds are brothers. Dear heroes, everyone is walking around the world. If you have any difficulties, we can help you, but we also have to rely on the goods here to survive. Please don't force people too much." It can be considered that he is neither humble nor arrogant, and polite.

"Um?" As he spoke, Li Ling was stunned and immediately exchanged glances with Sun Bi, each of whom had doubts. They originally thought that the Fan brothers had problems, and they were probably just Xiangma's accomplices, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But his effect was almost equal to no. The thief glared at the head and shouted: "You guy learned a few words and thought you could make peace? I don't want to take your plans. You can either leave your money and keep your life!"
