Chapter 4 - Article 1.

"What the f * ck are you howling for? Get up!" Manager Fan and Qing San Ye both kicked away the shop assistant who was kneeling in front of Xiao Letian. Qing San Ye pinched Xiao Letian's throat and said, "Let me ask you one last time, are you a bandit or not …"

"Qing San Ye, please think about it carefully. If I were to become a bandit, how could they attack me before I can escape? "Besides, the bandits didn't kill anyone before they came up to rob us, and they didn't even say anything. This is clearly avenging their personal grudges. You two think about it carefully. Did some kind of mortal enemy come knocking …"

At this critical moment, Xiao Letian's powerful analysis ability decided him to the left and right. Even though he was so scared that his legs were trembling, his adrenaline was pouring out and his back felt sore. In his previous life, he had participated in a lot of business negotiations and knew the trick behind it. Now, no matter what, he could not let his guard down, or else he would die.

modern man had lived in peaceful times for a long time, so he was definitely afraid of killing and robbing people for the first time. Xiao Letian's legs were obviously shaking, but his mind was abnormally calm. He was able to make the right decision in the face of such a situation, and a normal mediocre person would only be stunned like a wooden chicken if they saw such a scene.

"Qing San Ye, Manager Fan, let me be honest with you two, brat, I look very weird, that's because I grew up overseas, you all have heard it, my fluency in foreign language is not inferior to Mr. Louis, think about what kind of bandits can be used against spies like me?"

"Frankly speaking, there are not even people in the Beijing who are as fluent in foreign languages as me. With my abilities, where can I not eat? Why should I be a robber's spy? "

Maybe because of Xiao Letian's eloquence and his honest expression, the two of them believed him. With a "pu" sound, the tightly-tied hemp rope was cut by the Qing San Ye, and he conveniently stuck his dagger into the ground, "I'll believe you this once, take this dagger and defend yourself. "What bad luck, I met a foreign devil and a second one, they really gave me trouble …"

From 1860 onwards, the foreigners gradually entered the interior of the country. Right now, the most headache of all the officials was none other than the foreigners. If there was a problem with any of the foreigners under his rule, all the local officials would have to face the consequences.

Xiao Letian rubbed his numb hands together, then turned around to find Priest Louis. In the end, he was shocked when he saw that both Louis and Sai Men were actually tied to each other with two bullets, and the leather sheath on their waists were already filled with bullets.

"Shaw, I have an extra pistol here. Do you know how to use it? "Take it to defend yourself …" With that, his left hand shook and a spear shot out, the spinning gun stopped right in front of Xiao Letian, as though he was performing a trick. F * ck, is he even a Cleric? The two cowboys from the western United States looked back and saw that each of them was carrying a cowboy hat.

"Jesus Christ, you two aren't from Texas, are you? Had he been a cowboy before he became a priest? "This Cowboy's Spear Drawing Arts is too beautiful …" Xiao Letian had watched a lot of western movies in the past, so he was very familiar with these moves.

Louis's eyes immediately lit up: You really know America? I believe more and more that you are a gift from God. It is my greatest honor to meet a friend like you on my trip to Qing … "

"Haha, it's an honor, but let me tell you …" Xiao Letian suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into Louis's ears, "God bless us, if we can leave this place alive, I will give you some information …" "No, no, no, it should be a Divine Awakening. A Divine Awakening that can affect the fate of your nation …"

Just as Louis wanted to ask more, suddenly, the sound of killing rose up from both sides of the road. The tree swayed as if countless people were walking through the forest, and from time to time, a few arrows would fly at them.

Qing San Ye tilted his head, and shot out a Sawtooth Wolf Fang Arrow with his right hand. At that time, he almost scared San Ye to death. When will bandits be able to use such a sharp weapon? " San Ye was right, look at the arrows made of fine iron, once the hooks pierce into the flesh, you can't pull them out at all.

"This is no ordinary bandit, definitely not …" Just as Third Master was in a daze, Xiao Letian rushed over. With just a glance, he saw what the problem was, "Damn, such an exquisite arrow is not something that bandits can create? Other than the Great Qing Army, no one else could equip these bows and arrows! Qing San Ye, think about it, this must be seeking revenge … "

Whether it was seeking revenge or not, the Qing San Ye could not stay in a daze. He picked up his ancestral bull horned bow, nocked an arrow and shot it towards the Wolf Fang Arrow. He heard a muffled groan from the underbrush, as if someone was injured.

At this time, Louis and Sai Men had also come up to support them. One old and one young, both of them shot out at the same time, one on the left and one on the right. Two cowboys plus a godly archer from the Qing Dynasty, cold weapons and hot weapons clashed with each other as the two ranged weapons clashed. In an instant, the fight became extremely lively.

When the four of them resisted and formed a small team, the caravan staff and the soldiers brought by Qing San Ye all started to rely on the terrain to counterattack as if they had found their main pillar. There were those who hid behind trees to shoot arrows, those who ran around gathering large animal with knives in hand, and even some workers who took out bird spears from large carts and were filling up the trees with iron sand seed s.

In just a short while, the entire caravan had gathered together. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Arrows and birds' spears were everywhere on the merchant road. The thick white smoke made people cough non-stop.

"Wait, stop fighting. Something's not right, something's not right …" "Cough, cough, cough …" After resisting for around a quarter of an hour, Xiao Letian suddenly jumped up like a madman, "Look at the bushes over there, why are you guys still shaking after being swept by the two bird spears …" Everyone saw that it wasn't true. The shrubs were completely destroyed by the iron sand seed, but they were still shaking.

At this time, Xiao Letian had gained some kind of courage. With one hand holding onto a dagger and the other holding onto a revolver, he crawled on the ground. "Sai Men, follow me closely …." The two of them reached the edge of the shrubs not long later. Sai Men rushed in first like a black panther, with Xiao Letian following closely behind.

"F * ck, I've fallen into a trap …" The crowd only saw Xiao Letian rushing towards the left side of the shrub. The revolver in his hand had opened fire, and her target was behind a big white rock.

Many years later, when Xiao Letian recalled this scene, he could not help but feel a lingering fear. He simply did not understand why he was so impulsive at that time. Why did he become the first one to take the lead?

Even if it was someone who had never been trained in it, they would be able to easily master it. Xiao Letian and Sai Men moved in a straight line and quickly discovered the strangeness behind the stone. F * ck, there was actually a person holding onto a rope inside. More than ten ropes were pulling on some bushes. This was purely a ploy.

As soon as the bandit saw Xiao Letian rushing towards him, he let go of the rope and immediately rushed towards him with his blade. At that moment, Xiao Letian could clearly see the fine lines of flesh on Xiao Letian's face and the fierce glint in his eyes. Without any hesitation, Xiao Letian shot out all four bullets from the revolver. Bang!

The sounds of gunfire, the sound of bullets piercing through flesh and bones, the sounds of bandits crazily screaming before they died, and of course, the sound of the mountain wind blowing all of a sudden. All of the sounds intertwined together and squeezed into Xiao Letian's ears, converging to only one sentence: "You're killing, you're killing …"

Xiao Letian had killed the bandit, the power of revolver's close range shooting was not exaggerated, the bandit was completely dead. However, Xiao Letian was also shocked, he did not even know how to dodge the arrow that was shot from the side. In the end, it was Sai Men's Tiger Pounce that pushed him to the ground, allowing him to escape the Sawtooth Wolf Fang Arrow.

"Xiao, wake up …" "Stop daydreaming, this is a battlefield …" Sai Men loudly shouted, and finally woke Xiao Letian up.

"Qing San Ye, Manager Fan, we've fallen into a trap …" When Xiao Letian returned to the caravan, he couldn't even calm down so he quickly gathered the thoughts in his head and held a small gathering.

"The bandits didn't really attack us, they just wanted us to be in chaos. Now, although the sun has set, we can still see its light, the bandit leader is smart enough and sinister enough, he really cares too much about the lives of his subordinates, he just wants to eat us all alive …"

Xiao Letian was so tired that his throat was almost sticking together. He snatched a water gourd from the corpse of a servant beside him and gulped down half a gourd.

This time, Xiao Letian's performance had already made everyone look at him in a new light. This brat was willing to risk his life to find out the enemy's situation, it was not something an ordinary person could do, not to mention that he had even killed a bandit.

"There's no other way. Right now, there's only one way to break out of this encirclement. Let's take advantage of the light and charge towards the north." I am familiar with the topography of this area, there is an abandoned Mountain Temple on the northern hillside. "Where are the three sides of the cliff? Only the south side is a gentle slope. Only in that place can we guard …" The Qing San Ye said.

"Yes, the conflict just now has set off a fire gun, this place is not far from the village where Wolf's Cove was killed. As long as we wait until tomorrow morning, the people in the village will definitely contact Xi Ling's army, and we still have the Master Yang, the county magistrate cannot just sit here and watch …" Manager Fan also made a decision.

Very quickly, Qing San Ye and Manager Fan gathered everyone together and issued the order to break out of the encirclement.

"I can't …" The shopkeeper couldn't do that. We've broken through, but what about all these animals and goods? What about the silver that is given to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? " Some of the people in the caravan began to cry from the pain.

"Shut up! Are people more important or is money more important? As long as a person is alive, how much money can you earn? " When the Manager Fan stared at him, the fellow was so frightened that he did not dare to speak anymore.

Xiao Letian thought that it was alright, this old man actually knew how to put people first? An ancient merchant with this kind of boldness would not be a nameless person, it seems like the shopkeeper's position in the Fan family was not low.

Time waited for no one. The sky was getting darker as the caravan finally broke free. Xiao Letian, Qing San Ye, Louis and Sai Men formed into a group of sabers tip, three revolver s and a quick bow suppressed all the suspicious targets, the remaining people formed a group, with the weapons hiding outside without weapons, the hundred plus people of the caravan suddenly shouted out in unison and rushed towards the northern hill.
