Chapter 257
Zhang De shouted loudly, and Xu Lan and Mrs. Zhang who were sitting in the carriage were also very panicked.
The three of them huddled together in the carriage, hoping that this disaster would pass quickly, but the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong outside never stopped.
Zhang De cringed and stuck his head out, wanting to observe the situation outside. It was better not to look. After looking at it, the seven souls scared away the six souls.
I saw a burly man wielding a machete and slashing hard, and the heads of several guards brought by Zhang De fell off.
Zhang De was dumbfounded, his face suddenly turned pale, and his trembling eyes closed the door of the carriage.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to have noticed something different and quickly asked her son.
"What happened outside? Did the guards resolve the matter?"
It was now peaceful outside, and there was no sound of clashing swords at all. Although the people brought by Zhang De and the others were not top experts, they were more than enough to deal with these soldiers and generals.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't hear the sound outside, so she became happy: "Is everything settled outside?"
Zhang De is not sure now whether what he saw just now is real. He may also be hallucinating.
Zhang De poked his head and looked outside again. There was no one outside. Zhang De finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said, how could the bodyguards trained by his family be chopped up like carrots?
"There is no one outside, it seems we are safe."
Mrs. Zhang was relieved when she heard what Zhang De said.
Zhang De quickly opened the carriage door and saw that everything was calm outside and quickly helped his mother and wife out together.
"Let's run away quickly. It's not safe to come here anymore."
Zhang De didn't care about the moisture on his crotch, and pulled his wife to run forward together.
"brush--"
Zhang De was about to pull the two people to escape, when suddenly a white blade appeared in front of him.
"Why, you've already come, do you still want to escape?"
A frivolous voice sounded. It was obviously a man's voice, but it sounded extremely charming. Although Zhang De felt that the voice was familiar, he could never guess whose voice it was.
"Who are you? Don't be pretentious here. How much do you want, just ask for it."
Zhang De is still so arrogant.
A dozen people appeared in the open space instantly. These people were all masked with black cloth and holding machetes in their hands. This fierce look was something Zhang De had never seen before.
"I'm not short of money. What do I need your money for?"
The voice sounded from the distance again. Zhang De casually picked up a weapon from the ground and looked cautiously at the dozen or so reckless men surrounding him.
"Don't hide yourself. You have sent out so many minions. Come out if you can, and let me see who it is that moved me, the eldest son of the founding county government."
Originally, Zhang De wanted to use the Duke of Jianguo County to suppress these people. At least they would have scruples after hearing this, but they did not expect that the man hidden in the dark burst into laughter again.
"Should I say that the eldest young master of Jianguo County is too naive or too stupid? Have you seen these people around you? What do you think they are, joking with you? Do you still think you are seven?
When you are eight years old, others are playing house for you. I say, young master, you should also wake up. Today is the day when I will take your life."
Zhang De swallowed as he looked at these people, his mind spinning rapidly. He hadn't offended anyone recently, so why were there always people who wanted his life?
"Son, son, what should we do?"
Although Mrs. Zhang has lived for many years in her life and has seen many big things in the world, this is the first time she has seen this kind of thing. What Mrs. Zhang is best at is understanding the psychology of the women in the backyard. For this kind of outlaw
She was also helpless.
Zhang De supported his mother, holding a weapon he picked up casually from the ground in his other hand. Xu Lan stood tremblingly behind her husband. It was really unlucky. After following him, she never had a good day.
"Looking at our young master Zhang looking so frightened, he really deserves a beating! Do you want to live?"
The man hiding in the dark said seductively. Zhang De only heard that charming voice and his heart trembled.
"I said I'll give you as much money as you want and let us all go."
"Let them all go?" The man in the dark said in surprise: "Let them all go, wouldn't I be in a big loss?"
"Then what do you want?"
Zhang De seemed to hear a glimmer of hope in this person's voice. As long as this person wanted something, it would be easy.
The man in the dark seemed to have changed his mind.
"You go prepare one million taels of silver and deliver it before the sun sets, or I will kill you all."
When Zhang De heard this, his heart trembled. One million taels of silver was definitely not a small amount! Even if his family was wealthy, they could not get together so many taels of silver at this time.
Moreover, it is far away from home, and the sun has already set as soon as we go there.
"You are obviously forcing someone to make things difficult for you. Let alone so many taels of silver. I can't get it back in such a short time."
"Then there's nothing we can do. Since you're not willing to give, then just stay here forever."
The voice in the darkness suddenly became extraordinarily gentle, and Zhang De felt even more frightened when he heard it.
"Strong warriors, heroes, heroes, please listen to my words. If you can raise all the money tomorrow morning, I will definitely send it to you by then."
"Tomorrow morning?"
The man in the dark snorted coldly.
"Do you think I'm stupid? When the time comes, you will gather a large number of troops to catch turtles in a jar. Even if we have wings, we will not be able to fly."
Zhang De originally thought like this, to use a delaying strategy first, and then catch this person and torture him, but he didn't expect that he would see through it.
"I advise you not to be ungrateful. I have already promised to pay you, so you must at least let us go."
Zhang De is still so self-righteous.
"snort!"
Brush brush brush——
Although the man in the dark still didn't appear, several darts flew over and stuck directly into Zhang De's arm. Zhang De screamed and dropped the weapon in his hand. The surrounding group of people holding weapons also
All the men in black gathered around and held knives to the necks of several people, which finally made Zhang De feel scared.
"Ah ah ah, my hand, my hand, my hand is useless."
Zhang De cried and screamed, covering his injured hand, and blood flowed from his arm. Zhang's mother saw that her son was suffering beyond endurance, so she rushed over and said with a mournful face.
"Son, my son, how are you?"
"Mother, mother, my hand is useless. My hand is gone, right?"
Old Mrs. Zhang no longer looked so graceful and elegant. She lay on the ground and cried while covering her son's arm.
"What do you want? We will give you whatever you want. Why hurt others?"
The person in the dark became even more arrogant when he saw the affectionate mother and son in these clothes. He couldn't help but look at this picture at first glance.
"Humph, what do I want?" The man stuck out his tongue and licked his thin lips: "I want the lives of the three of you."
Hearing the embarrassed three people surrounding the center, they trembled in their hearts. The knife placed on their necks moved closer. The necks that had been so pampered now had red marks. They finally realized that they should be kicked onto the iron plate.
