Butler Fan didn't care whether Li Xin could catch up. Six or seven miles ahead was the Fan family's Zhuangzi. Even without Li Xin, it wouldn't delay him from going to the Zhuangzi ahead.
"Tou Feng, when you get to the village, remember to pick a few tenants who are making trouble and punish them severely, but don't kill anyone." Butler Fan warned Feng Tou who was following him.
Feng Tou, who was also following on horseback, nodded and said, "Don't worry, chief steward, we are good at this. We will break the legs of a few tenants and ensure that others are obedient."
"Well, that's good." Butler Fan nodded with satisfaction.
As for whether the tenant whose leg was broken would survive in the future, he didn't care. As long as no one was killed during the attack and the grain that the tenant was supposed to hand over was collected, his mission would be considered successful.
Butler Fan looked up at the road ahead, raised his hand and pointed, and said: "After passing the forest in front, we will be there in another three or four miles. Everyone, hurry up and hurry up."
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and hurry up. We'll be there soon." Feng Tou turned around and repeated Butler Fan's words to the thugs following him.
The team hurried on a little faster, and soon arrived near the forest that was originally in front.
boom!
A gunshot sounded suddenly.
boom! Bang...bang!
In the blink of an eye, a series of firecrackers sounded, and flames appeared in the forest.
Butler Fan and others were only forty or fifty steps away from the forest, and only about sixty steps away from the place where the fire appeared in the forest.
"There is a thief, please protect the steward." Feng Tou shouted to others to protect steward Fan, and he turned his horse's head and urged his horse to gallop away in the direction from which he came.
He once served in the frontier army.
The sound of gunfire coming from the forest proved that there were at least forty or fifty fireguns in the forest, and the thugs he brought were only thirty or forty people. More than a dozen people had already been hit by the fireguns, and even if they were not dead, they would not be able to survive. The knife is picked up.
Moreover, he felt that there could not be only forty or fifty fire gunmen in the forest.
If the other party dared to set up an ambush in the woods, they would definitely be able to capture them. He didn't think that with the few people left, he would be the opponent of the thieves ambushing in the woods.
Rather than stay and die, it would be better to leave the others and escape alone.
He did not intend to return to the Fan family after escaping this time. The Fan family, which had offended the tiger-character flag, was already in decline. He could only be buried with him if he stayed in the Fan family.
He has horses and weapons in his hands, and he believes that if he can find anyone to join him, he can get a good position.
The remaining members of the Fan family no longer cared about Feng Tou, who had escaped. Except for a few thugs from the Fan family who actually went to protect Butler Fan, the rest began to run for their lives.
When the gunfire sounded, Butler Fan fell off his horse in shock and hit his elbow. The pain made him gasp.
"Where's Feng Tou? Let Feng Tou organize our people to kill the thieves in the woods." Butler Fan shouted loudly.
A man guarding him whispered: "Feng Tou escaped on horseback. Butler, let's escape too. The thieves in the woods are powerful, and we can't stop them with just a few of us."
"What? Feng Daer'er escaped! How dare he escape!" Butler Fan gritted his back teeth angrily.
Feng Da'er was the Fan family's chief in Xikuoyuan because he had served in the frontier army.
Now that the leader Feng Big Er has escaped, even his steward, who knows nothing about soldiers, knows that doing so will shake the morale of the army, making it even harder to defeat the thieves in the woods. 61 library
"Housekeeper, run away quickly. It's too late if you don't leave. The thieves have hidden many people in the woods. Our small manpower is no match for them." The man next to Steward Fan couldn't help but urge.
If it weren't for the fact that he could stay in the Fan family to earn a living, he would have run away like the others long ago.
"Yes, yes, yes, go back to the city first. You will be safe when you return to the city." Butler Fan realized and quickly said to the man next to him, "Squat down and carry me back to the city."
At this moment, his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up. He could only let the man beside him carry him and run for his life.
The man looked hesitant.
Normally he would have carried it on his back, but now he was running for his life, and running for his life on his back was much more dangerous than running for his life alone.
As the chief steward of the Fan family, when he saw the expression on the other party's face, Butler Fan immediately guessed what the other party was worried about. In order not to be left behind, he immediately said: "As long as you take me back to the city, Feng Big Er's will The position is yours, and the people in the West Cross Courtyard will be under your control."
"Really?" The man's eyes lit up.
By succeeding Feng Big Er as the leader of Xikuoyuan, he will be able to earn a lot of money every month from now on, and he can also directly talk to the masters of the Fan family, and he will have money and status.
"I'll go tell the master and I will ensure that you become the leader of Xikuoyuan. The premise is that you must escort me back to the city safely." Butler Fan sounded anxious.
The gunfire in the forest continued, and the Fan family's thugs were getting more and more dead and injured. He was worried that if he delayed for a little longer, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
"Butler, come up here. I'll carry you on my back." The man knelt on the ground with his back facing Butler Fan.
Butler Fan hugged the other person's neck and laid his upper body on the other person's back.
The man stood up, put Butler Fan on his back and ran away.
After running for more than ten steps, he suddenly felt Butler Fan sinking on his body, and the arms of Butler Fan that were holding his neck tightly softened.
"Butler, butler." The man didn't dare to look back, so he could only run away and shout at the same time.
No matter how many times he shouted, he got no response. Instead, his hands on Butler Fan became sticky and very uncomfortable.
As a thug of the Fan family, he had done a lot of dirty things for the Fan family. He knew that the sticky stuff on his hands must be blood. At this time, he also guessed that something had happened to Butler Fan.
However, he did not leave Butler Fan behind, he still carried him on his back and ran away in the direction he came from.
The sound of gunshots ringing out from behind him from time to time made him understand that Butler Fan on his back had saved his life. If he hadn't been carrying him on his back, he would have been the one hit by the gunfire at this time.
Butler Fan, who was carrying it on his back, could protect him from the fire cannon, but now he was reluctant to leave it behind.
He escaped two or three hundred steps in one breath, and the sound of the gunfire behind him became much quieter. This made him understand that he should escape from the range of the gunfire. Butler Fan's body was of no use anymore. Carrying it any longer would only hinder his chance of escape. .
Leaving aside the body of Butler Fan, he fled along the road at his feet in the direction of the Zhangjiakou border fort.
Only by escaping back to the city would it be safe.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the ears.
He subconsciously looked up.
I saw more than a dozen black knights approaching, each carrying a saber that shone with cold light.
Even though he had never seen cavalry in such attire before, in his heart, he felt that these black cavalry and the thieves who ambushed them in the woods should be a group.
