Chapter 163 Robbers Enter the Village
Chapter 163 Robbers Enter the Village
A gleam of light flashed in the old village chief's eyes, but looking at the long sword in his hand, he sobered up a little, knowing that nothing should be overdone. "Dapeng not only broke his ribs, but also vomited blood. His foundation is injured. The treatment of this injury will cost a lot of money. Or, you can give fifty taels of silver first..."
But before he could finish his words, Wei Dapeng's mother was displeased. She interrupted and said angrily, "Only fifty taels of silver? Impossible! My son's injuries are so severe, this little money is not enough to heal him!"
She had also seen the two of them enter the village before. The jewelry worn by the girl was unusual, and the two of them really looked like a pair of wild mandarin ducks that had eloped. After all, how could a wealthy family travel without a servant or maid?
In addition, they didn't even have a driver, which was totally unreasonable and inconsistent with their status, so many people in the village thought so. Moreover, this was in their own village, with a large number of people and strong power, so why would they be afraid of two outsiders?
There are more than a dozen of them here, which should be more than enough to besiege one man.
"At least one hundred taels of silver, plus..." She wanted to say plus the carriage, but at this moment, a scream came from a distance, which made her stop talking.
"The robbers are coming! The robbers are coming!!!"
When the villagers at the entrance of the village saw a familiar group of people coming up the official road, they immediately screamed in panic, and some even ran back to their houses.
On the official road outside the village, a rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Seeing this, the others also started to panic.
These bandits had come to the village many times before. As long as there was no resistance, they generally would not kill people, but they would take away valuable things and food in the village. Pretty girls would also be kidnapped and taken back to their den.
The nearby villages are like sheep pens for these bandits. Every once in a while, they come to plunder things. They won't kill them all, but they still make the villagers miserable.
Especially after the government recruited soldiers and collected fines, these robbers found out that the villagers had hidden some property, but these properties were taken away by the government. They immediately became very angry and felt that they had been too lenient in the past, so they came quite frequently recently.
The villagers also reported the matter to the authorities, and the authorities also launched several rounds of suppression operations against these bandits. However, suppression was difficult, and the war was tense, so there was a shortage of manpower. Therefore, the authorities were never able to successfully suppress these bandits.
At this moment, the villagers outside the house who were asking Ning Ji for an explanation also panicked. Seeing the bandits getting closer and closer, they hurriedly asked the women to go home first, while the men gathered together in panic, watching the bandits enter the village with heavy hearts.
As long as they don't act rashly, at most they will lose some food, and they won't kill anyone.
At this moment, except for Wei Dapeng's mother who stubbornly refused to leave, all the other women ran back home.
Soon, this group of aggressive bandits rode into the village. Some of them held torches, some held machetes or swords, and their faces looked unfriendly.
"Hey~ Are you all here today?"
The leading bandit leader looked at the people at the village entrance with interest. "Then let's follow the old rules. Bring out the food. Each household will receive five taels of silver. This will save us the trouble."
The villagers were in great pain when they heard this, but before they could beg for mercy, the bandit leader spotted a small carriage not far away and said, "Guests are coming to the village? Not bad."
Although this carriage is simple, it is driven by two horses, and both horses are quite good.
"They are rich! Very rich! Please, Your Majesty, spare our village. We are running low on food. Even if we hand it all over, it wouldn't be worth as much as one of their jewelry! They are just a pair of wild mandarin ducks that ran away. They have a lot of money!"
Wei Dapeng's mother quickly spoke up and explained the situation to the robbers.
She knew that once these robbers arrived, her plan to ask for compensation would fail. Since she couldn't get the money anyway, those two outsiders wouldn't have an easy time either!
She had her back to Ning Ji and did not see the murderous intent that flashed across his eyes.
When the group of robbers heard this, their eyes lit up instantly. Following the direction the woman pointed, they saw a handsome man standing in a courtyard not far ahead.
It may be true that they are rich, but they are not stupid. They fight and kill each other in their daily lives and come into contact with many people, so they can naturally tell that men are not easy to mess with.
Being able to remain calm in the face of a weak situation only shows that one is very strong.
"Brother, where are you from?"
The bandit leader rode a tall horse, walked a little closer, and looked at Ning Ji.
Even if you want to take action, you must find out the other person's background and not be reckless.
Ning Ji also looked at the group of aggressive bandits and said calmly, "Is it important?"
The bandit leader smiled and said, "It's very important. After all, this village is under our protection. We have to charge you a fee for staying here."
Ning Ji: "Some money is easy to get, but some money requires your life. It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."
The bandit leader restrained his smile a little and stared at him with narrowed eyes.
Seeing this, a brother behind him couldn't help but shout angrily: "What a big tone! How dare you be so arrogant just by yourself! I will twist your head off in a moment!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Boss Ge and said, "Brother, just kill him. He's just a man, what's there to be afraid of?"
Boss Ge stared at Ning Ji with some hesitation and concerns, but his subordinate thought that he had tacitly agreed, so he picked up a knife, jumped off the horse, and walked towards the courtyard with two people in a murderous manner.
Boss Ge originally wanted to test it again, but when he saw them walking forward with knives in hand, he finally did not stop them. He also wanted to see what this arrogant guy was capable of!
The surrounding villagers had already left the area and were watching from afar, terrified.
boom!
The wooden gate of the courtyard was kicked open roughly and was crumbling.
Then, as soon as the three bandits entered the yard, they were met with a fierce sword attack!
Although the three of them had been prepared, when the sharp sword came at them, they immediately raised their swords to block it, but the sword was unstoppable and the material of the sword was extremely hard.
The weapons collided with a clang sound, and all three of them subconsciously took a step back, and then they began to counterattack.
But Ning Ji was quick and agile, and every time he swung his sword, it was not only extremely accurate, but also powerful like a rainbow, and every move went straight to the vital point!
"what!"
In a blink of an eye, the three of them fell down one after another and died on the spot!
A group of bandits in the distance were startled and were about to rush forward to fight with their swords, but Boss Ge stopped them in time, "Don't move!"
"Boss! This guy killed our people!" one of his men roared with red eyes.
Boss Ge glared at his subordinate angrily, "I fucking know! Don't make any moves!"
After hearing his roar, his men held their breath and did not move forward. Instead, they looked angrily at the troublesome guy in front of them.
