Chapter 125: He Didn't Want to Be That Kind of Person

~8 min read 1,457 words

Should they also know when to retreat?

He Lingchuan let out a long breath, and called Zeng Feixiong when he passed by again: "You watch the front, I will break the rear."

Zeng Feixiong was sweating profusely, and was stunned when he heard it: "Big Young Master?" Can you?

Although they had lived and died together in the desert, but breaking the rear is such a professional thing, shouldn't it be handed over to professional people? Of course, in a hurry, he couldn't think of anyone else who could take on this heavy responsibility.

"Don't worry." He Lingchuan knew that he could still hide in the team and pretend to be a master, watching others sell their lives for him. But at this time, he remembered the refugee team in the Panlong dream, and the guilty look of Liu Sanjiu who was fleeing for his life.

Who doesn't have a family, who doesn't know the pros and cons, who doesn't have to consider the future?

Liu Sanjiu was not wrong, but he, He Lingchuan, never wanted to be that kind of person again.

So he smiled at Zeng Feixiong: "I have experience!"

His combat power is good, it's a pity not to use it. But Zeng Feixiong wouldn't believe him completely, especially since the young master claimed to have "experience," which was unknown where it came from.

He hadn't been on the battlefield, where did the experience come from? Did he save it in a dream?

At this time, He Chunhua's voice came from the front: "No harm, allow him!"

He had been paying attention here.

Since the leader spoke, Zeng Feixiong immediately threw out two people, one was Zhao Qinghe sent by He Chunhua, and the other was Mao Tao.

"Protect the Big Young Master!" He whispered, and at the same time gave a few winks, meaning that the two could act independently and didn't necessarily have to listen to the Big Young Master.

Both nodded desperately.

Mao Tao was still worried: "Big Young Master, do you really want to stay? But those two lowest-fortune sticks..." He was also there at the time.

"Things that don't count." He Lingchuan interrupted him, and turned to Zeng Feixiong, "Protect my family well!"

"Duty!" Zeng Feixiong walked quickly back to the front team, and disappeared in a while.

The personal guard group had more than four hundred people, and the villagers had more than two hundred people, totaling nearly seven hundred, all running on the mountain road. Then a heart-piercing scream came from top to bottom.

He Lingchuan stretched his head to look, and a unlucky guy stepped on the air and fell down.

Everyone was anxious, and with bloody examples in front, they finally stopped fighting and pushing.

This sound also woke up Zhu Xiuer who was in a coma in the carriage.

She opened her eyes and was stunned for a few breaths, then suddenly covered her face with her hands and cried out.

Lady Ying patted her back: "Cry, cry, sigh!" Zhu Xiuer's child seemed to have been thrown down the mountain at this position.

"Fortune does not come in pairs. Although you lost your child, as long as we escape here, you will soon be reunited with your loved ones, which is also a great comfort."

She comforted for a long time before Zhu Xiuer's crying gradually decreased, and finally turned into a small sob.

Zhu Xiuer's eyes were swollen like walnuts, but her gaze was very firm: "Your family has the grace of rebirth to me, when we return to the capital, my Zhu family will definitely repay you well!"

"Saving a life is accumulating virtue, what kind of repayment, it's vulgar." Lady Ying poured her a glass of water personally. This sentence was not polite, in Lady Ying's view, Taipu Temple Minister Zhu Xiyan was still in office, and the work was done well, and he was trusted by the emperor, but this pair of grandparents and grandchildren had not seen each other for seven years, and the family affection was inevitably estranged.

Most importantly, the Zhu family didn't just have this one granddaughter.

So would the Zhu family repay with a spring or a trickle? She didn't hold much hope.

Of course, all premises are based on the foundation of their successful escape from the rebel pursuit.

Lady Ying sighed, lifted the curtain and looked out, the carriages were all close to the inside, and the outside half of the road was crowded with people. And a few feet away was the cliff, which was very dangerous.

She heard the conversation between her eldest son and Zeng Feixiong word for word, and felt a little emotional in her heart.

This bastard kid seems to have finally grown up a little.

The mountain road is rugged, everyone has to raise fire for lighting, so the torches on the west road are dense, and the figures of government troops are very obvious.

He Lingchuan and two deputy officers drew their knives, took more than thirty people and more than a dozen horses to break the rear.

These thirty-odd response soldiers had ugly faces, some secretly regretted not having a good relationship with their superiors at ordinary times, so they would be pushed out as cannon fodder at this critical moment.

Except for a fool like He Lingchuan who took the initiative to ask for it, who would want to stay behind to break the rear? Life is gone if you let go.

Following the main force to flee still has a way to live, staying behind to break the rear is very likely to stay forever.

He Lingchuan didn't want to bring more people, but the mountain road was steep and narrow, and too many people would not be able to open their hands and feet.

Of course, this kind of one-way terrain is not friendly to those who flee, and it is even more of an obstacle to the pursuers. The sporadic bandits chasing from behind were all blocked by everyone, either knowing the difficulties and retreating, or being cut with a knife.

At first, there was no difficulty, but as the chaotic battle in the village fully unfolded, more and more bandits ran to the west road. After all, in terms of the number comparison, Lu Yao's subordinates had to fight one against five, and the difficulty coefficient was too high.

After being cut down by more than twenty people, the Lu bandits quickly collapsed, and at least half of them instinctively fled to the west. There were many people on this road, and as long as they exceeded most of them, they would be safe.

In contrast, the east side was the direction Wu Shaoyi's team rushed over, and the village entrance was a place of chaotic fighting, and it was easy to be shot by stray arrows if you went there.

Therefore, the rear-breaking pressure on He Lingchuan and others increased sharply.

And at this time, the government troops and villagers hadn't completely retreated to the west road.

Too many people, too many carriages, the road is too narrow! If bandits are mixed into the crowd, the consequences will be endless. He Lingchuan made a decisive decision, pointing to six or seven carriages that hadn't finished walking: "These can't be taken away, don't want them, unload the cattle and horses!"

Qian Ma was on the side, surprised: "Big Young Master, these are the Mistress's!"

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it: "That's good!"

Qian Ma: "..."

"You only take the most valuable jewelry, definitely only a small box." He Lingchuan said quickly, "Throw the others here, I have use for them!" People are going to die, what are you keeping these belongings for? Qian Ma couldn't disobey, so she had to find the jewelry box and get up and leave, going to the front to complain to the Mistress.

Lady Ying listened with a frown, and asked back: "Is the Big Young Master injured?"

"Ah..." Qian Ma recalled carefully, "No, the Big Young Master is very majestic."

Lady Ying lay on the window and looked back twice, not knowing what it felt like in her heart.

The luggage carriage on Lady Ying's side had been unloaded of cattle and horses, blocking the middle of the mountain road.

Of course, He Lingchuan still left a gap for his own people to pass.

The soldiers were all anxious to close the gap, and kept urging the villagers: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be mother-in-law!"

A panting villager ran over, wearing a thick leather hat, didn't look up at people, pressed his head and drilled into the gap of the carriage team.
