Riding guns, sabers, black breastplates, and iron helmets have almost become the standard equipment of the Tiger Banner Cavalry Team. They are the only ones in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the Mongolian grasslands.
Fan Yousao is a steward. Even if he has never seen the Tiger Flag Cavalry, he has heard people mention it.
When he was first intercepted by the horse bandits, he was in a panic and didn't pay much attention to the armor used by these horse bandits. After he calmed down a little, he noticed that the horse bandits in front of him and the Tiger Flag Cavalry he had heard about Dressed up pretty much.
Thinking of the relationship between Fanji Chamber of Commerce and the Tiger Banner, he had already determined in his heart that these horse bandits were the Tiger Banner cavalry from Lingqiu.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It is better to fall into the hands of Tiger Flag than to fall into the hands of horse bandits.
If they really fall into the hands of the horse bandits, even if the horse bandits don't kill anyone and just leave them guys like Fanji Chamber of Commerce on the grassland, the biting cold wind will freeze people to death in just one night.
Lao Wu said coldly, "Yes, we are the cavalry of the Tiger Flag. However, we were the cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. Now on the grassland, we are the horse bandits."
Fan You trembled.
If the people of Tiger Character Banner really want to commit horse banditry on the grassland, he and the guys he brought with him may not be able to survive.
"Grandpa of Tiger Character Banner, please spare my life. I am just a laborer. I beg the grandfathers of Tiger Character Banner to spare my life."
"The little one is strong. The little one can help the driver push the cart. He can also work and carry the goods on the cart. The little one is willing to work for Grandpa Tiger Flag. I just ask that he not be killed."
"The younger ones can also work. The younger ones are stronger than him and can do any work."
The clerks from Fanji Chamber of Commerce were squatting on the ground, crying to Lao Wu one by one, praying to let them live.
Fan You looked at Lao Wu and said, "If you Tiger Character Banner people dare to kill us, the government will never let you Tiger Character Banner go."
After hearing this, Lao Wu snorted and said in a light tone, "What a joke. What kind of grassland is this? The territory of Beilu. The Ming government can't control this place. Even if I kill you all, who can?" Knowing that our Tiger Character Banner did it, others would only think that you encountered horse bandits and were killed by horse bandits on the way to Bansheng City."
"You really want to kill me?" Fan You was shocked and fell to the ground in fear.
Only then did he remember that there were rumors outside that Huzi Banner was not only a business name in Datong, but the proprietor behind it was also the largest bandit leader in Datong.
Thinking of this, he became afraid.
"I beg Grandpa Tiger-Character Flag to spare my life, and I beg Tiger-Character Flag to spare my life too."
Some of the guys from Fanji Chamber of Commerce knelt on the ground and kowtowed after hearing what Lao Wu said.
Lao Wu turned around and made a gesture to the rider on the side.
The rider jumped off his horse, led a team of men, and walked towards the guys from Fanji Chamber of Commerce.
When the clerk from Fanji Chamber of Commerce saw this scene, he kowtowed even more frequently, and his pleas for mercy were mostly filled with tears.
The riders who came over did not kill them, but searched these people inside and out one by one. All the weapons carried by the Fanji Chamber of Commerce guys were searched out and taken away.
At this time, Lao Wu said, "Tie these people's hands with ropes, use a rope to lead them behind the car, and let them follow the car for a while."
Several riders found hemp ropes and tied the hands of the Fanji Chamber of Commerce clerks like they were threading sugar-coated haws on a stick. They pulled out a rope end and tied it to the back of the cart.
The guys from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce showed no resistance from the beginning to the end and acted very cooperatively. When they were tied up with ropes and taken away, they all knew that their lives were temporarily saved.
"Captain, what should I do with this person?"
After all the Fan Ke Chamber of Commerce guys were tied up, a tiger flag rider pointed his finger at the remaining Fan friends.
Lao Wu glanced at Fan You and said, "This man is the steward sent by Fan Ji Chamber of Commerce. It will be troublesome to take him away. He will tie his hands and feet with ropes and leave him here. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own fate."
"No, you can't do this. I am the manager of the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce. You can't do this."
Fan You shouted loudly when he heard that he was about to stay.
In such a cold season, staying overnight in the wild will only result in freezing to death.
Lao Wu raised his hand and said, "Shut his mouth."
Two riders came up. One of them grabbed one of Fan You's arms and tied it behind his back. Together with his two feet, they were tied with a rope. They also pulled a piece of cloth from Fan You's clothes and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Fan You fell to the ground, making a whining sound and twisting his body vigorously on the ground.
Chen Wu, who was following Lao Wu, saw Fan You's miserable state and couldn't bear to persuade him, "Why don't we take this steward with us too? These people will be detained anyway, and one more of him won't be enough."
Lao Wu waved his hand slightly and said, "If we take him away, it is very likely that those Fanji Chamber of Commerce guys will hug him, so this person cannot be kept."
Seeing that Lao Wu insisted on keeping this person, Chen Wu stopped trying to persuade him and looked sympathetically at Fan You, who was still struggling on the ground.
"Tell the coachman to hurry up and get on the road. These people and goods will be sent to Qingcheng." Lao Wu ordered.
A rider urged his horse to the driver of the leading car and asked him to drive.
Fan Ji Chamber of Commerce's convoy, including people and goods, were all robbed, leaving only Fan You alone, who was left behind.
After the convoy had traveled about three miles, Chen Wu took the reins, turned the horse's head, and suddenly galloped away behind him.
One of the riders came to Lao Wu and said, "Captain, Chen Wu went back alone."
Lao Wu nodded and said calmly, "When he comes back, let him receive the punishment by himself."
"Yes." The rider agreed.
After Chen Wu left the convoy, he quickly came to Fan You, rode his horse and circled around Fan You who was sitting on the ground.
When Fan You saw Chen Wu, he shouted excitedly, but he could only make a whining sound.
Chen Wu reined in the reins, stopped the horse, and said, "It's such a cold day, without a tent or something to keep warm, you can't survive tonight. Instead of suffering from freezing to death, why don't I give you a good time, and you can suffer less when you go on the road?" crime."
"Woooo" Fan You struggled hard.
Chen Wu urged his horse to take a few steps back and slowly drew out his saber.
Fan You struggled harder and harder, his eyes widened with fear.
Chen Wu knocked the horse's belly with his heel, urging the horse to run, while the saber in his right hand was pointed downwards.
The moment the war horse missed Fan You, a streak of bloody plum blossoms scattered in the air.
Chen Wu urged his horses to catch up with the retreating convoy without looking back.
Fan You, who was originally struggling, remained motionless, with only a pair of staring eyes.
When the war horse passed by, he fell to the ground, and the blood on his neck couldn't stop flowing out.
