Someone rode over from behind and moved forward to Heng Yi, “Master Heng, the wheels of our carriage are stuck in the mud. Can you go and take a look?”
Heng Yi glanced at him, “Brother Qin.”
Brother Qin, more known as Constable Qin, whose real name was Qin Song, rode up on his horse, “Yes, Master Heng?”
“Tell everyone to keep their spirits up. Don’t stop and continue on their way.” He then said to the person who came to him, “Since you drove a caravan, there should be quite a number of people with you. Why do you need me to take a look?”
This question was the problem.
It would make more sense if he had told Heng Yi and the others to slow down and wait for them.
It was strange that Heng Yi himself had to go and take a look.
Heng Yi only had eyes for his wife and children in the carriage. Even when he was going to settle some important matters in his life, he had to let a few people protect the carriage. How could he leave his wife and children for someone else?
Sometimes, Heng Yi was very selfish.
He completely ignored the person who came.
Qin Song instantly understood and quickly rode to encourage everyone.
As for the person who came to ask for help, seeing that Heng Yi and the others ignored him, he had to turn around and leave.
The group moving forward obviously increased their speed.
They were all in horse carriages and were all people who specialized in helping people transport goods. They were very familiar with this road, especially the people from the Escort Agency.
Housekeeper Liu rode his horse to Heng Yi’s side and said, “Master, I’ll go ahead and ask around.”
“Be careful.”
“Housekeeper Liu, I’ll go with you!” Han Chi said.
Heng Yi asked Han Chi to stay and Qin Song to follow him.
Qin Song, who had once been a constable, was also very experienced.
Another young man followed them from the escort agency. The three of them rode their horses forward.
About ten minutes later, the three of them returned.
“Master, there’s a valley up ahead. It doesn’t look right.” Housekeeper Liu said.
Their group was so grand that it was extremely easy for them to attract the attention of the mountain bandits.
If they came attacked from the front and back…
They definitely couldn’t stop, so the only solution was to move forward.
In this group, those who didn’t know martial arts or were in poor health need to be protected, especially Han Qiao.
Zeng Qin’er and Jiaqing quickly got into Han Qiao’s carriage.
Zeng Qin’er sat at the door with a scimitar in her hand.
Her face was full of vigilance.
Jianing glanced at her and said nothing.
The atmosphere became tense. He Cheng did not dare to speak anymore. Sun Ke hugged him tightly as they sat next to Han Qiao.
Ah-Yao was placed in the cradle, and Han Qiao tied the cloth around him.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi also bit their lips nervously.
“Don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine.”
“Heng Yi.” Han Qiao then called out through the window.
“Hmm?”
“Be careful of the rocks that fall from the valley.”
When the stone fell, it would cause chaos.
Heng Yi nodded.
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, “1’11 sneak up and take a look.”
“Be careful.”
Zhang Zhao nodded.
He brought a few people and rode over again.
The group continued to move forward.
After Zhang Zhao and the others entered the valley, Zhang Zhao entered the valley from the side.
His skills in martial arts were good, and he also moved very fast despite the heavy rain. So when a hook pierced his face, he frowned.
He knew that this trip was not only for the main family but also for his parents.
Once chaos broke out, everyone would be busy protecting the Madam, the young master, and the young ladies of the main family. His parents would definitely be left alone.
If these Mountain Bandits were to lay an ambush, they would not be at the top of the mountain. They would probably be at the top of the valley. Since they could see the situation from the valley, they would not be slow to jump down.
Zhang Zhao quickly found the place where the bandits were hiding.
There were indeed stones prepared to be rolled.
Some of them were wearing bamboo hats and straw raincoats.
“Damn it, why aren’t they here yet?”
“What’s the hurry? Haste makes waste!” An old woman’s voice rang out.
“Old Madam, is there anything wrong? That Heng Yi is said to be as strong as an ox and has great martial arts skills…”
“Two fists can’t fight four hands,” The old woman said.
“Old Madam is right.”
Zhang Zhao didn’t stay for long and slowly returned the way he came.
Then, he sneaked to the other side.
There was no ambush on the other side.
Zhang Zhao knew what to do.
The others who went to scout ahead didn’t need to rush back as Heng Yi told them to. However, he could not go too far.
These Mountain Bandits would work together from the inside, and they could work together from the outside as well.
Zhang Zhao was drenched, “There was indeed an ambush.”
“There’s an old woman among them. She should be the mastermind.”
Heng Yi suddenly remembered that they had met an old woman when they came back from Chenzhou City.
“If I’m not wrong, she should be related to Tu Wansan.”
Although Tu Wansan was killed, his son was still alive.
But his wife and mother were missing.
“Are there ambushes on both sides?” Heng Yi asked.
“No, only one on one side.”
“Go towards the side where there are no Mountain Bandits.”
Han Qiao lifted the curtain of the carriage, “In my opinion, Heng Yi, why don’t you just kill them? Instead of us being passive, why don’t you take the initiative?”
Heng Yi thought carefully, “I’ll go now.”
He was already skilled in martial arts.
If one person went over, they would not enter the valley and would not fall into the trap. Even if they were attacked from the front and back, they might not be at a disadvantage.
The children were also equipped with weapons this time. Even if they could not fight, they could at least scare the people.
Heng Yi was moving very fast. Under the heavy rain, a battle was happening on the cliff.
One of them swung a large knife and slashed at him. The rain soaked his hair and clothes.
The knife rose and fell. Arms were broken, heads fell, stones rolled into the valley, and people fell from above, dying.
Screams continued.
These Mountain Bandits had never dreamed that before they could even make a move, they would be attacked first.
Moreover, he was a ruthless person.
One person against hundreds of them would not be able to fight back.
“This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!”
The village leader kept shouting, hoping Heng Yi would show mercy.
However, Heng Yi knew that if they hadn’t been vigilant and let them attack first, these people wouldn’t have shown them any mercy.
With one slash, the bandit leader’s head was chopped off. He even snatched his knife and threw it at the old woman who was running away.
“AHHH!” The old woman screamed.
The knife pierced her body and nailed her to the tree on the side.
Her widened eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness.
She wanted to turn around and take a look at Heng Yi, the enemy who had killed her children and grandchildren, but she couldn’t.
The valley was filled with the smell of blood.
Miserable cries rang out continuously. Even the mountain bandits did not dare to make any rash moves in the caravan that was following behind the group.
They were afraid that if they acted rashly, they would be the next ones to suffer.
One person had killed more than a hundred people, and the few lackeys who had escaped were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
They had been robbing houses for several years, but they had never met such a fierce person.
Whenever the blade rises, it takes a life.
Heng Yi looked at the wreckage on the ground, some of which were still screaming.
“Get up and go down the mountain!” He shouted.
The injured bandits didn’t dare to let out a fart, enduring the pain and supporting each other as they slowly descended the mountain.
Heng Yi walked behind them, his saber still dripping with blood.
When they reached the entrance of the valley, the surviving Mountain Bandits looked behind the carriage.
He hoped that his companions would come and save him, but he realized that his companions did not move at all.
They knew that no one would come to save them.
They were done for…
