When Zhou Yunshu and his party heard the man in red robe behind them catch up and say this, they wanted to scold him for what he said!
However, when they turned around and saw two teams of well-trained Red Lotus messengers with weapons in hand suddenly pouring out from behind them, they still swallowed back the unspoken words very wisely.
There were only about fifty members of the Red Lotus Sect who originally blocked the road here. With the group coming later, there were almost a hundred people.
Moreover, each of these hundreds of people were young and strong with weapons in their hands. Zhou Yunshu estimated the combat value of both sides, and honestly took the people around him to make arrangements and adapt to changes.
It was not only Zhou Yunshu and his group who were left behind to be requisitioned, but also the caravans and other travelers before and after them were all left behind.
Shopkeeper Liang, Wei Zhong, Du Laozhuang, Du Youtian and others gathered around Zhou Yunshu.
Du Youtian said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, what's the situation now? What do they want to do? Is there any way to do it?"
Someone had a close connection with Du Youtian. When he complained to Zhou Yunshu in a low voice, a steward of the caravan loudly refuted the people of the Red Lotus Sect, "Why are you detaining people!"
"I am the steward of the Zhang family in Fucheng. If you dare to detain me, do you still have the right to punish me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and masked Red Lotus messenger pulled him off the carriage with one hand, and then stepped on his stomach.
The steward groaned in pain and hugged the foot that was on his stomach, trying to move it away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the foot.
The Red Lotus envoy looked at the steward's actions and sneered, saying: "Here, our Red Lotus Sect is the king's law."
After saying that, he raised the knife and lowered it. The steward who was protesting loudly one second was dead on the ground the next second.
Du Youtian was so frightened that he covered his mouth when he saw this scene, and the frightened screams around him seemed to make the murderous Red Lotus Messenger particularly useful.
Not only did he not restrain himself, but he pulled the towel off his face with his hand, sipped the still warm blood on the knife in his hand, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
"Mad dog!"
Another Red Lotus envoy wearing a red scarf walked up to the murderous Red Lotus envoy with a bad tone.
"Who asked you to kill him!"
The Red Lotus envoy, who was called Mad Dog, pulled off the towel on his face, revealing a face full of red abscesses. He looked at the man who scolded him indifferently and said: "Zheng Qian envoy, I just did it for your convenience." People are just killing chickens to show the monkeys."
Zheng Qianshi looked at that disgusting face and slightly tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.
If he hadn't been needed to kill people for him, he would have chopped off the mad dog's head long ago.
"Since you're going to kill the chicken to show the monkey, this one chicken is enough."
After Zheng Qianshi finished speaking, he waved to the Red Lotus Envoys behind him and said, "Our Lady only needs young and pretty women for the time being. The rest should go wherever they go."
Zhou Yunshu listened to Zheng Qianzhi's somewhat disgusting words behind him and returned to her carriage calmly.
Wei Zhong noticed Zhou Yunshu's movements and gave his men a signal to follow her quietly.
He definitely couldn't take care of the team with so many people, but he was still confident that he could lead Zhou Yunshu and the young master out of the encirclement.
Zhou Yunshu noticed Wei Zhong's little movement and didn't say anything. She just walked to Li Jialan and the others' car window and said to the two people inside who had already calmed down: "You will cough quietly in a while and pretend to be sick."
Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen nodded, and they did not ask why. Zhou Yunshu would not harm them anyway.
When Zhou Yunshu came to the car, she found that Du Laozhuang and others who had left her had also followed her.
Everyone was anxious, "Mr. Zhou, what should we do?"
"Is this Red Lotus Sect of theirs collecting corvees for the government? Why..." Mao Ziping swallowed his words before he finished. He suddenly thought of the miserable situation of the man just now, and was afraid that he would follow in his footsteps.
"Mr. Zhou, are we going to stay like this?"
"Yes, you think of a way, and we all listen to you!"
Zhou Yunshu took advantage of the fact that the people from the Red Lotus Sect had not come over and said to them: "It's definitely not possible to break in forcefully. It's okay for us young and strong people who can do some kung fu, but the old, weak, women and children in the team can't escape."
"What should we do?" Du Laozhuang is one of the old, weak, women and children.
"Act according to the opportunity first. You just heard that these people only want young and beautiful women."
The words "beautiful woman" don't sound like the consequences of being taken away will be good.
But fortunately, except for a few people who wanted to be clean, everyone in their team was slovenly.
Zhou Yunshu had also been prepared for it. Before entering the territory of the Red Lotus Sect, she deliberately disguised Li Jialan, Fang Huiwen and the children in an unsightly manner. By pretending to be ill, she should be able to escape this disaster.
"A lot of people in our team should be called away." Zhou Yunshu looked at the patrol team that was gradually gathering, and continued: "If everyone is selected by the Red Lotus Sect, find a way to be with people you know."
There are so many of them, it is impossible to separate them all.
"When we find an opportunity, everyone will gather at Wolong Mountain to find a way to escape."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the Red Lotus envoys who were looking for people, and said in a short sentence: "I guess they are holding some large-scale event on the mountain. There are not enough people in the mountain, so they found so many people to make up the number."
"As long as you don't stand out, your life will be safe." Zhou Yunshu looked at the older Du Laozhuang and said, "If I am also elected, then the remaining person in the team will be Uncle Lao Du."
Du Laozhuang nodded, "If we can leave, I will lead the team and find a place to wait for you in front."
Zhou Yunshu took a deep breath and nodded. At this time, the people from the Red Lotus Envoy had already arrived in front of their team.
"Who is in charge of your affairs?"
Listening to the shouts of the Red Lotus Envoy at the front of the team, Du Laozhuang and Zhou Yunshu looked at each other. Zhou Yunshu winked at Du Laozhuang, and he walked forward with his body bent.
"Sir, sir, it's me, old man." Du Laozhuang looked at the Red Lotus Messenger with a nervous smile on his face, "We are villagers who escaped from the north."
"As long as you provide food, water and a place to live, our whole village is willing to settle down with you, sir."
The red lotus envoy glanced at Du Laozhuang with an honest smile on his face and said, "What good things are you thinking of!"
"Not everyone in our Red Lotus Sect can enter. How can we have so much food and water to feed you!"
He pushed Du Laozhuang in front of him, looked at the hundreds of people behind him and said, "You, gather all the young men in your team, and by the way, there are women..."
"Yes, yes, there are a lot of women in our village!" Du Laozhuang said happily: "Although they don't look very good and haven't bathed for several months, except for being a bit cold, they can still go and serve Honglian. Our Lady’s!”
