In the dark night, a mule cart with a pony lantern hanging on the front of the car was driving slowly, the coachman said nothing, and the three people in the car had no interest in speaking, and the atmosphere was so solemn that they were almost suffocating.

Du Maode had already taken off the iron ruler on his waist and held it in his right hand, with his expression as rare as serious. Du Ming twisted his body uneasy and glanced at his mother rubbing his calf. He was so smart that he didn't have to think about what was going on. He could not help but gently press it in his arms. There was a horn dagger given to him by his uncle. Although it was very short, it was said to be used to cut paper, but at the moment when he was full of dangers, he always felt that he could not rely on his parents to protect him. Recalling the legends he had heard and the famous knight stories, he couldn't help licking his lips and constantly encouraged himself.

Which boy doesn’t have a hero dream?

In this dark night when he was not sure about the direction, and even less knew, the three people in the car suddenly heard a few harsh whistles. Almost for a moment, Du Maode felt that his whole body was suddenly tense, and at this moment, he only heard the coachman outside say, "Mr. Du, just protect your wife and son. My master had already expected someone to intercept him and made complete preparations. This car is specially made, and the swords and arrows are not in the way. You three should sit down, and I will speed up!"

Du Maode had no time to answer, and had no time to ask, so he felt that the slow car had suddenly accelerated. He held the iron ruler tightly in one hand and gently tapped the wall of the carriage with the iron ruler. Only then did he realize that the wood was indeed extremely solid and heavy. It was difficult to hurt the bow, arrow, sword, and sword. However, even if the sound of the horse whip outside was crisp and the speed was quite fast, but relying on this special mule carriage and the driver, he would never believe that he could stop the extraordinary pursuers behind him.

He has been with pirates for more than three years. Of course, he knows that these guys are not just fighting. People like Qiu Sihai are also skilled in equestrian skills and are even more skilled in martial arts. Sure enough, he soon heard the rapid sound of horse hooves chasing behind him and the loud shouts. Among them, some even shouted in a broken gong-like voice: "Scholar Du, don't forget that you can run away, monks can't run away, just rely on our name, and you can't spread it back, and you don't want to gain a foothold in Guangdong. It's better to follow us back and eat delicious food, and everyone won't treat your sister-in-law and nephew badly!"

Du Maode felt his heart suddenly tighten, but the voice still shouted with fearlessness: "Besides, don't forget that you had a share when you fought the official army!"

"Mr. Du, don't be distracted. As long as you take down all those people, it will be over! Who would believe what such a vicious person said?"

Hearing the coachman's reminder, he found that his wife had grabbed his hand tightly. Du Maode breathed a sigh of relief and threw all the worries behind his head. However, after all, the mule cart was not as fast as a horse, but in an instant, he felt that the people behind him were already chasing him very close, at most only more than ten steps away. For a moment, the feeling of a thorn on his back suddenly made him sweat.

The pursuers behind saw that the mule cart was approaching. Although there was no answer in the car, they all felt that they were ready to take action and shouted loudly for a moment, which was so arrogant. Just when someone was chasing him to the level of the carriage and was poking out his hand to knock on the wall, half a warning and half a shock to Du Maode, the man suddenly heard a loud shout. Then, he heard a loud noise breaking through the air, and the mount under him made a shocking and tragic neigh. Realizing that the mount might be attacked by someone, he was shocked and was about to be vaulted, but it was too late.

The horse moving at high speed fell down to the right side. The rider, who had no reaction for a moment, fell heavily with the mount. Where could he see a hand-shaking arrow tied around the horse's neck, and the deep wound was bleeding at this moment?

The driver who turned around and shot a hidden weapon in his busy schedule relaxed his breath and then muttered to himself: "Fortunately, that girl Bizhu and I have practiced both... But, it's finally here!"

He waved a whip hard, and the mule, who had always been docile, also let out a painful cry, and increased its already fast speed by three points. The pursuers behind the car seemed to slow down a little bit because of the guy who was falling aside with his horse. He said without looking back again, "Mr. Du, remember to stay in the car later!"

Sure enough, although the pirates were temporarily blocked because of their injuries, they aroused their ferociousness in a moment, and they slapped their horses and chased them even more urgently. Just as the mule cart turned a corner, the pursuers had already chased them more than ten steps away. In a flash, Du Maode, who was tense in the car, only heard a huge movement suddenly coming from behind, as if it was the sound of a man tilting his horse, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Trap? Or tripping rope? No matter what the possibility is, no wonder the driver was running wildly before, and except for a hidden arrow, he did not do anything else. However, it turned out to be to attract people to chase after them wildly! Perhaps, there was also a reason to keep these people away from the village, because they were afraid that there would be accomplices in the village? However, it seemed that they had seen the distance between the pursuers and the mule cart and then pulled the tripping rope. Could it be that there was an ambush?

Two tripping ropes were set up in the dark night, and the pursuers were half short of a moment. However, several riders were lucky enough not to get hit, but kept chasing them and chasing them wildly. After accelerating twice, the mule cart seemed to be exhausted and its speed was getting slower and slower. Hong, in the car, heard a mule sound coming from behind the car, as if someone had vented his anger with a sword. He immediately felt a sudden tremor in his heart, but at this time, the mule cart stopped completely.

"Lock the door inside!"

With this shout, the coachman pulled out the long knife beside him and immediately jumped out of the car, but instead of attacking the enemy, he cut off the mule's reins first. Although there was a carriage on its neck, it could at least ensure that others could not drive the car away after he got off the car. Sure enough, he got into a situation of attacking both sides, and the other two people who were lucky enough to escape the tripping horses were slashing at the carriage, but the carriage had no windows and the only door was locked by Du Maode as he said. They had no idea. After venting their anger, they simply turned to the coachman to attack.

However, the pirates are not proficient in horse war. The condescending attacks not only make the short coachman unable to do anything to the mount, but instead cause the mount to be attacked several times. In the end, the four people had to jump off the horse and surrounded the other party. A big man with the most burly figure even grinned: "I want to see, what other tricks can you do!"

"Play tricks? Haha, you made a mistake, it's just because I don't want to let one go!"

At this moment, there were already keen people who heard that the coachman was not speaking Cantonese. But when someone woke up, he suddenly heard the sound of drums and gongs in the dark night. Immediately afterwards, they seemed to see shadows on the roadside, and then seven or eight big men rushed out of the dark night. If they were the ones who were the ones who were the ones, the situation was completely reversed at this moment. They had been surrounded and suppressed by the government army again and again, and finally escaped again and again until now, the few people exchanged glances with each other, all of whom had a feeling of a bad situation.

But at this moment, they could only hear Du Maode's voice coming from the mule cart behind them: "Just you said, since I have been among you for several years, how could I not be prepared? There are five hundred elite soldiers of the Nanhai Guard and Guanghai Guard and one hundred powerful crossbows. You can try that power!"

The burly man finally changed his expression suddenly: "Siucai Du, the boss and everyone treat you well, are you so heartless?"

"Who told you to force me? I was already doing well, and you insisted on letting me come out. Since that's the case, of course I can only fight and inform the government of you to take advantage of you bandits!"

"Bah!" The man spat on the ground in a furious manner. Seeing that the enemy was in an orderly manner, he formed a formation and knocked his two companions to the ground with just one meeting. He finally did not hesitate anymore, and immediately threw down his weapons and raised his hands and said, "I surrender! Don't listen to Du Xiucai's nonsense. My leader Lin Afeng had sent us to ask the government for help, and there was no ill intention!"

With him taking the lead, he wanted to take a bet to see if he could break out of the siege, and the other person who was hesitant immediately was a little hesitant, but after that he hesitation, the short man who looked like a coachman suddenly rose up and threw the man to the ground. Seeing that there were already three people around him, the man had to let go, but just when he was about to say something, he was hit hard on the back of his neck and knew nothing. Not only him, the two people who had been knocked over before, the burly man who surrendered by abandoning his weapons, were all knocked unconscious by others. Then someone stripped the clothes of these people. After searching all over, he left only a pair of shorts, and then tied them up with a hemp rope.

Soon, three long and short whistles came from a distance from behind the carriage. Everyone who was busy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the group of people who were dismissed had also cleaned up. It was not until this time that the coachman had just arrived in front of the car, knocked on the door with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Du, the pursuers have been caught in one place. If you were willing, you could come out. It was thanks to my husband's urgent wisdom. If you hadn't told the government a long time ago, you would have said that there were hundreds of elite soldiers in Guanghaiwei and the South China Sea Guard were here. These guys resisted stubbornly. Even if we had made many ambushers, we might have to fight for a while. Maybe a few of us would have to be killed or injured."

The Hong and Du Ming and Du Ming in the carriage were originally surprised and worried when Du Maode said they had already reported the official. What was surprising was that they were not afraid of these people continuing to threaten their three family. But what was worried was that if the government heard that their husband had experienced a thief, if they were investigated, Du Maode would have to peel off even if he was not dead. But when they heard outsiders say this, they couldn't help but be surprised. Facing the suspicious gaze of his wife and children, Du Maode smiled bitterly, went forward to open the car door, then lifted up the front of the Confucian shirt, jumped out of the car, and then bowed.

"Although I was bluffing just now, since I was here, I am not considered a fake tiger. I have heard that the new Guangdong Inspector Censor Wang is a decisive person. When I see you today, it is indeed unusual."

"ah?"

Du Ming in the carriage was already confused. The young man, who was only thirteen years old, had heard his father talk about the Nanhai Wei Guanghaiwei and the elite troops setting up an ambush. After all, this time, it was because the matter was extraordinary that his mother explained to him that his father's experience of not gloriousness in order to save his life. Children always admire heroes. Under the orthodox education of his mother, pirates were naturally not considered heroes. However, those outside cruelly expose his expectations in a blink of an eye. It turned out that they were not soldiers of the court! However, in just a moment, the father actually said that it was someone sent by the new inspector!

What's going on?

Hong's face was also confused, but the one who was most surprised was the people outside. Zhao Sanmazi, who acted as a coachman tonight, was stunned for a while, and then she smiled honestly and said, "Mr. Du is really not shocking, but she will never stop talking. This is scary." He became more scrupulous and did not admit it, but he did not deny it either.

"The previous letter should have been written by Mr. Wang's newly hired aide Xu Xianggong? Although I met him for several times, I went to the city to take the provincial exam this time, but I had heard about him. Although he did not explain it clearly in the letter, but I couldn't think of any other figures in the recent Guangdong officialdom who had just joined the wise master and Dongweng, who had won such praise from him. What's more, this plan to lure the enemy tonight was quite well-organized, and he had summoned many officials in Xiangshan County to redefine the layout of Haojing, and then surrendered many officials in Guangzhou. They all planned and then acted. With the previous clues, if I still couldn't guess, wouldn't it be too slow?"

You are not slow, but if I told you about what happened tonight, the young master who was still locked in the tribute court didn't know what expression you should have?

Zhao Sanmazi laughed dryly, but did not dare to reveal this after all. After a haha, he admitted readily: "It is worthy of being Mr. Du, who is very knowledgeable. Now that he has taken these people down, he is in this wilderness in the middle of the night, but it is not a place to speak. Why not do this? Please get off the car and ride a horse with Mrs. Zun and the young master. As for the captured prisoners, they will be placed in a car and sent to a safe place to be detained. If Mrs. Zun is inconvenient, I have a pair of saddle horses on my side, and the young master will ride with me. What about?"

Since he was sure that the other party was really sent by Wang Fulin, the new Guangdong Inspector Censor, Du Maode put down his heart and immediately agreed readily. When he temporarily placed a place outside the city for half a night, when he entered the city, he took the same car with Du Ming and his son of Hong's family. This time, it was not the previous tank truck that didn't even have a window. The carriage was open and the windows were large enough to feast Du Ming, who rarely entered the city. As for the ambushers last night, it seemed that they did not enter the city together with his group. The way to enter the city was completely useless to show his face, and there was no one who asked more questions from beginning to end.

However, just when he thought he would go directly to the procuratorate, the place where the carriage and horses finally stopped was in front of a secluded house. When he got off the car, he could not help but hesitate for a moment, but he still called his son, who was also full of confusion, to help his wife and go in the door together. As soon as he entered the yard and reached the second door, he heard a woman's crisp voice.

"I have arrested seven more now? In addition to the four assassins I received in Xinchang that time, and two Flang Jimen who killed and robbed the ship. If this continues, this place will almost become a prison cell of the inspector!" (To be continued.)
