PS: Thanks to book friend Hua Xiaoyun and book friend Enchanting Jiecheng for the reward.
Zhou Qiguan and dozens of servants changed direction and sped away in a direction different from that of the Tiger Flag army and the Liang family's motorcade.
Dozens of war horses were running wildly on the grassland, making a lot of noise.
"Commander, Yang Guozhu's personal servants seem to have lost the Liang family's convoy and fled." The person who spoke was a sentry rider of the Tiger Flag.
He was present during the previous confrontation with Zhou Qiguan and others.
The captain of the sentry looked at the direction in which Zhou Qiguan and others were leaving, and said, "Two of you will follow them to see if they really abandoned the Liang family's motorcade. The others continue to follow me."
After saying that, he rode his horse and galloped towards the forest where the Liang family's motorcade was.
Two riders separated from the team of sentry riders and chased in the direction where Zhou Qiguan and others left.
Under the arrangement of shopkeeper Liang, all the guys in the Liang family's motorcade stood guard beside the carriage. Even the driver who drove the carriage had an extra wooden stick in his hand as a weapon.
"Shopkeeper, do you think Zhou Qiguan and the others can stop the Tiger Flag's army?" A waiter guarding Shopkeeper Liang said in a low voice.
The few guys in the convoy who were armed with weapons were all left by shopkeeper Liang.
Even shopkeeper Liang himself held an iron waist knife in his hand.
"Zhou Qiguan and the others are all servants of General Yang. They are all excellent in martial arts. They are also supported by Deputy General Datong. The proprietor of the Tiger Flag is just a guerrilla general, so he will definitely be able to stop the Tiger Flag. Army." Zhou Qiguan murmured to himself.
It was like explaining to the guys around me, and also like comforting myself.
"Back, back, Zhou Qiguan and the others are back." The sharp-eyed man pointed his finger into the distance and shouted.
When Shopkeeper Liang heard this, he hurriedly turned his head and looked over.
Wherever he looked, seven or eight riders appeared in his eyes.
"No, why do so many people come back?" The waiter who shouted before frowned.
When Zhou Qiguan left, he took all his subordinates with him, dozens of them, but the number of people who came back was less than ten.
Shopkeeper Liang suddenly changed his color.
With so many people missing all of a sudden, the first thought that came to mind was that something had happened to Zhou Qiguan and others.
As the horses in the distance got closer and closer, Shopkeeper Liang and the guys in the team could see the horses in the distance more and more clearly.
At this time, a waiter standing next to Shopkeeper Liang suddenly shouted in panic: "No, they are not from Zhou Qiguan, they are from Tiger Flag!"
Zhou Qiguan and his subordinates have all met.
The knights approaching in front of them all wore black armor, which was obviously very different from those of Zhou Qiguan.
"Quick, be on guard, hurry up and be on guard." Shopkeeper Liang shouted loudly.
At the same time, he quickly hid behind the carriage, took out the knife from the scabbard, and looked at the cavalry approaching from a distance with a wary expression.
There were hundreds of people in the convoy, including the drivers.
After realizing that the riders coming were enemies rather than friends, the convoy suddenly became panicked.
Some of the waiters followed the example of Shopkeeper Liang and others and hid behind the carriage, while others threw away the sticks in their hands and fled into the woods on the edge.
And most of the guys chose to run away and hide in the woods.
At this time, Shopkeeper Liang couldn't care less about the guys who had escaped. The top priority for him was how to deal with the incoming Tiger Flag army.
Even if he didn't understand what was going on in the army, he knew that the few horses coming in front of him should be the outposts of the Tiger Flag, and it wouldn't take long for the Tiger Flag army to arrive.
As for the guys who escaped from the convoy, he didn't think they could survive if they escaped.
Not to mention the wolves that appear in groups on the grassland, these guys who escaped did not even have dry food. It is difficult to survive without food or water in the vast prairie.
After the tiger-character flag's sentry horse approached the Liang family's motorcade, he did not take action. Instead, he circled around the Liang family's motorcade and finally stopped not too far away from the Liang family's motorcade.
Shopkeeper Liang, who was hiding in the middle of the motorcade, saw this scene. Not only did he not feel relaxed at all, but he felt even heavier.
The fact that the sentries of the Tiger-Character Banner came proved that Zhou Banner and his men did not stop the Tiger-Character Banner army at all.
Even though there were only a few cavalry in front of him, they were not many, but they were all cavalry. If they were infantry, he could still fight with the advantage of large numbers, but facing the cavalry, even if he tried his best, he would not have a chance.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do? If we keep waiting, I'm afraid the army of the Tiger Flag will arrive." A waiter holding a sharp knife looked at Shopkeeper Liang worriedly.
Shopkeeper Liang looked at the guys around him and said, "What good ideas do you have?"
The few guys who heard this looked at each other and looked at each other in confusion.
"If anyone has a good idea, please tell me immediately. As long as you can escape this disaster, you will get ten taels of silver each when you go back." Shopkeeper Liang promised benefits to the guys around him.
"The little one thought that we could abandon the convoy, take the dry food, find a way to escape back to the Xuanfu, and then find a way to report it to the government and let the government punish the tiger character flag." A waiter next to him said.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liang glanced at the man who spoke and said, "There are cavalrymen with tiger flags not far away. Do you think you can escape?"
If he could leave the convoy and escape, he wouldn't wait until now. He could have fled first when he knew about the imminent arrival of the Tiger Flag army.
The guy who came up with the idea to escape secretly glanced at a few cavalrymen not far away from the convoy, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
No matter how fast two legs run, they are not as fast as four legs.
It is simply impossible to escape from the sight of the cavalry.
Shopkeeper Liang glanced at the few waiters around him who had their heads down and said nothing, frowned and said, "It's useless to ask you."
The heads of some of the guys were drooping even lower.
At this time, one of the waiters said: "Shopkeeper, we can discuss with them, give them some more benefits, and ask them to let us go."
"This is a way." Shopkeeper Liang rubbed his chin with his fingers, thought for a while, and then said, "Would any of you go tell those cavalrymen with the Tiger Flag to let us go?"
None of the guys answered.
No one knows whether the cavalrymen not far away will kill people. They are just associates of the Liang family, and no one is willing to take the risk.
Shopkeeper Liang looked at the faces of the waiters around him one by one.
Finally a look of disappointment.
He couldn't count on these guys. At this time, he could only go out and negotiate with the cavalrymen of the Tiger Flag.
"You guys come with me." Shopkeeper Liang ordered the guys around him who were holding sharp knives.
He himself was afraid, so he wanted to take the guys who had guys with them with him.
"Shopkeeper, it won't be of much use if we go there, you'd better go on your own!" A waiter next to him said with a bitter look on his face.
