Chapter 478: Encounter on the Road 5

~8 min read 1,465 words

Those servants were all huddled together in fear, terrified to look at the fierce-looking West Liang soldiers in front of them.

These West Liang soldiers had bloodshot eyes.

"Pah!"

The leading West Liang brute spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground and cursed: "Damn it! This battle is truly suffocating. The enemy army is unilaterally crushing us, and an hour has passed without seeing the Lord's troops come to rescue us! In such a battle, how many of our brothers have died!"

Another West Liang soldier stepped forward and said: "Captain! The wealth in Luoyang has almost all been looted by the Generals and Captains above. We fight desperately, but what can we ultimately gain? It is better to run wild while there is chaos and stop doing such high-stakes things in the future!"

The remaining West Liang soldiers nodded in agreement.

The degree of freedom in "Turbulent Times" is very high; even these NPC soldier types can sometimes come up with their own little schemes.

Originally, this squad of West Liang soldiers had just been fighting bravely.

But seeing their comrades around them being beaten black and blue by the enemy one after another, the entire battlefield situation seemed to have become one-sided.

And seeing no one coming to save them... they could not help but feel a sense of despair.

The leader of the small squad simply took his surviving teammates and retreated toward the rear amidst the chaos.

And by lining up the princes and ministers, using force to threaten them, they hijacked the two carriages and left the formation during the chaos.

It was not for anything else, but to become deserters.

And to loot those princes and ministers clean to prepare for the future.

"Captain, we are fleeing the battlefield and becoming deserters. If we are discovered when we turn back, we will definitely lose our heads! Or we should go back!"

A small West Liang soldier said with a hint of worry.

"You little brat! Do you understand anything? If you go back, you die!" The leading brute kicked the small soldier hard, knocking him over!

The brute said fiercely: "You're already this big, and you still want to go back? Whoever goes back, I'll kill him!"

The small soldier who had been kicked away stood on the ground crying and said: "But Captain, we don't have any travel money either. In this empty place, how are we supposed to run?"

The leading brute said angrily: "You guys cheer for me!"

The small West Liang soldier had just stood up when he was startled by the brute's local dialect and hurriedly squatted back down on the ground.

The brute immediately turned around, looked at the two hijacked carriages coming over, and said viciously: "Why do you think we hijacked these two carriages? Isn't it to grab some wealth and go back to live a peaceful life?"

The group of West Liang soldiers heard this and suddenly realized!

They realized that the Captain had made them risk danger to hijack the two carriages and escape the battlefield! The result was to rob them of their money!

The West Liang soldiers immediately laughed and hurriedly nodded, saying: "The Captain thinks very clearly; we will take these things to become big officials, and then go back and live a good life!"

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the brute laughed out loud, pointed his weapon at the servants, and cursed: "You, take out everything of value on your bodies for me to see, and take off all your clothes too!"

This brute was quite clever; he knew that his group's clothes were conspicuous, and even running away would be conspicuous.

He wanted to grab the clothes of these few servants and change their appearances.

After speaking, the brute also looked up at the two silent carriages and said viciously: "If there is a carriage, don't play dead with me! Hand over the wealth and valuables to me and unload the carriage, be quick!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for using my blade!"

However, at this moment.

Among the servants surrounding the carriages, a man who looked like an official official stepped out trembling, cupped his hands, and bowed: "This military lord, you must not do this. You must know who is in those two carriages."

"They are the current Court Minister and Censor-in-Chief..."

"You had better be honest, otherwise when you go back, you will have your own suffering..." ===== CHAPTER 1002 =====

Among the servants sitting around the carriages, a man who looked like an official stepped out trembling, cupped his hands, and bowed: "This military lord, the principle remains the same; you must understand who is in these two carriages."

"They are the current Court Minister and Censor-in-Chief."

"You had better be honest, otherwise when you go back, you will have your own suffering." ===== CHAPTER 1003 =====

As a result, before he could finish speaking, the leading brute stepped on the servant official's chest with one foot.

"I might become a deserter at any time, so I don't care about your Court Minister or your damn Censor-in-Chief!"

The brute was neither reasonable nor polite.

The leader, who had been quick-witted as a servant official, had not expected the other party to be so arrogant and domineering.

"Murder! Help!"

Although the servants had seen too many bloody stories today, they had not been affected themselves.

Now, seeing their old steward being beaten for no reason, they also let out exclamations.

The brute glared, took out a Xuanhua axe from somewhere, pointed it at the servants, and said through gritted teeth: "All of you shut your mouths! Whoever screams more, I will behead!"

Seeing the brute so arrogant, none of the servants dared to say anything more and could only sob in low, trembling voices.

"Take off all your clothes! Hand over the belongings on your bodies! Quick!"

This time, no one dared to utter a word of complaint. The people around the two carriages began to follow the brute's orders step by step, taking off their clothes and dropping their bags and luggage.

The remaining West Liang soldiers immediately stepped forward, picked up the clothes on the ground, wrapped them tightly, and checked them over and over.

The brute nodded with satisfaction this time, then turned to look at the two carriages and shouted: "Gentlemen in the carriages, everyone is forced by livelihood and has no other choice, I hope you can forgive us."

"Hand over the money and wealth on your bodies early, and we won't make things difficult for you lords."

"…………"

After the brute finished shouting at the carriages, a moment later, a curtain was slowly pulled up, and two people stepped down.

One of them had gray hair and was not young, but looked to have quite an aura.

This old man wore magnificent robes and a crown, looking orderly and unstained by dust.

In this chaotic era, for an old man to still maintain such cleanliness and look so dignified, it shows how self-disciplined and noble he usually is.

The old man's eyes were also very deep; although the situation in front of him was chaotic and dangerous, one could not see the slightest nervousness in him.

Even though these West Liang soldiers were men who had been on the battlefield killing thieves, seeing this old man so heroic and spirited, they could not help but lose three parts of their momentum.

Each of them was secretly guessing the old man's identity, but when they shifted their gaze from the old man to the person supporting him...

··· 0 Flowers 0

They immediately threw the old man's identity to who knows where.

They saw that the woman had a tall figure and skin as white as feathers.

The sunlight shining on her had a delicate, metallic, bright silver luster.

Her jet-black hair was tied behind her, emitting a faint, dark fragrance. A pair of charming phoenix eyes, slightly peach-blossom, with flowing water-like ripples, and eyes like vast stars, were enough to hook one's soul.

She continued to walk forward.

Draped in pink, feather-like neon garments, her jade hands were slender, and a long cloak trailed behind her, swaying slightly in the mountain breeze.

She looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Even the brute who led them, looking at her, could not help but have his eyes light up.

But he was quite remarkable; he quickly calmed down and stared at the two of them, saying: "Since we have the upper hand, hand over the valuable things."

"The gold, silver, and valuables in the carriage, if you want them, take them! But leave this carriage for the two of us!"

The old man spoke.
