"Quick, let's go quickly. Why hasn't anyone come back to report? We're about to send it to Ping City."
"Yes, it's getting late. Maybe we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Everyone, be careful. The Minamida family has been looking for us."
In the Japanese Empire, night had fallen earlier. At this moment, a group of people were advancing with weapons.
In the Tang dynasty, when the Drunken Immortal House was having a mushroom banquet, the sun was setting outside the window.
It was dark in the Japanese Empire. In Fusang, the sun rose in the east.
Thus, during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian of the Great Tang, the Wo Nation called itself Japan.
However, the Great Tang often refused to recognize Japan in unofficial exchanges and continued to refer to Japan as Wo.
While Li Yi was eating mushrooms, it was dark in the Japanese Empire. A group of people appeared.
Today was the day to send away the loot. It was unusual.
They should report the news back early. Otherwise, the two horses would be easily exposed, and the people would not be at ease.
The team advanced under the cover of the night. No one dared to light a torch.
Fortunately, the moon in the sky was gradually full. Under the cold moonlight, they could vaguely see the path.
The only uncomfortable thing was that there were many mosquitoes. The mosquitoes in the forest would not wait for people to be motionless before biting.
The Japanese Empire's clothes were a piece of cloth that was tied up from the back pocket to the front.
Below was another piece of cloth that was tied up from the back pocket to the waist.
Most of the arms and legs were exposed, as well as the armpits.
Only those with good family conditions would have other styles. They mainly learned from the Tang dynasty.
The female mosquitoes did not care what others wore. They needed blood and would seize the opportunity to rush forward.
There were a total of 43 people. They held simple weapons in their hands. The small crossbows were used by the Yoshimura family to sneak attack others.
The weapon in their hands was usually a chopper with a short handle and a stick on a wooden stick.
There was also a simple bronze spearhead in front of a wooden stick and a wooden pole. These were pretty good items.
The good things were all left with the Yoshimura family's team. They were the armed assets of the two families.
Minamida Fan was lying on the ground. The ground was wet and uncomfortable. It was different from a normal rest.
Previously, he had used his two forearms to support his body, which was a flat support.
Before he did that, he thought that he could maintain this position for a long time. When he did that, he smiled at Jiang Chuan, indicating that he had found a good solution.
When Jiang Chuan saw his posture, he returned a smile.
Nantian Fan held on. It did not take him long to realize that something was wrong. Why was he so tired?
After holding on for a while longer, he couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to lie flat on the ground.
"Don't move around blindly. Save your energy." Jiang Chuan saw that Nantian Fan wanted to take a rest before continuing, so he stopped him.
"If no one comes for the whole night, we'll just lie there for the whole night? The mosquitoes are buzzing around. It's scary. "
Nantian Fan had been lying on the ground for more than two hours, but he couldn't sleep.
"Lying down for an entire night is better than training for an entire night. This is considered rest. Back then … sigh!"
Jiang Chuan was part of the first batch of Winged Knights, so he was traumatized. He couldn't bear to look back on the past.
"Caw, caw, caw." The cawing of the crows came from afar.
"They're here. Get ready." Jiang Chuan lowered his voice.
"Mm!" Nantian Fan reached out to touch the saber beside him.
After a while, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard.
"Yuo Yoshimura, Yuo Yoshimura! Ji Shou Village, Ji Shou Village. "The sound of footsteps gradually faded. Someone lowered his voice and shouted.
His voice echoed in the forest, and the birds nearby flew away in fright.
"Light the torches, hurry up and light the torches." The person who spoke just now shouted.
Someone in the group began to take out wooden sticks and velvet grass, turning the wood like a saw to make a fire.
"Light the torches." Jiang Chuan waited for a while. He couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to do it himself.
The Winged Knights took out their lighters one after another. Click! The flames rose and lit the torches.
"Who's there?" When Jiang Chuan's voice fell, the people on the other side were alerted. Then, flames lit up.
"Put down your weapons and squat with your hands on your head. Otherwise, we'll shoot you." The Winged Knights surrounded the other party and kept a distance.
One person held a torch, while the other raised a bow and arrow. They showed the other party that they had bows.
The rumbling of hooves could be heard. The people on the 16 horses held torches in one hand and reins in the other.
The 43 people looked around in panic. There were many torches, and there were two people beside each torch.
"Who are you? We're just passing by. "
The person in the group shouted. He looked elsewhere, as if he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to find a place to escape.
"We're waiting for your people. Yoshishou Kokuro, I'm Nantian Fan." Nantian Fan stepped forward.
Jiang Chuan, who was beside him, took out an arrow and tore off a piece of oilcloth to wrap around the arrow. He swept it over the torch and pulled the bow.
The arrow hit the torch that the other party was holding that had not been lit yet. That person was shocked and loosened his grip. The torch fell to the ground, but it burned.
He hurriedly picked it up again and kindheartedly lit the torch for the others.
"Throw the torch away." Yoshishou Kokuro was anxious.
"If you throw it away, I'll shoot you to death. Hold it well." Jiang Chuan nocked another arrow.
"You won't be able to escape. Our people said that our weapons are good, and we also have horses. How dare you steal from the Nantian family? Hmph!"
Nantian Fan followed suit. He now looked down on the people from the Yoshishou family, who he used to think could compete with his Nantian family.
The other party's weapons were pitiful. His family didn't lack iron.
"We didn't steal from you." Yoshishou Kokuro refused to admit it.
"It doesn't matter whether you stole from us or not. Put down your weapons and lie down. We'll go over. Otherwise, we'll kill you."
Nantian Fan didn't want to argue with the other party. If he captured them, he would suffer less.
"If we put down our weapons, you won't kill us?" Yoshishou Kokuro looked at the situation. The other party had too many bows.
His men obviously couldn't win, and they couldn't escape.
"Put it down quickly. What's there to ask? If we want to kill you, we can kill you now, "Nantian Fan shouted.
"Put it down." Yoshishou Kokuro took a deep breath and threw the things in his hands to the front.
The others didn't have any fighting spirit. They really couldn't win!
Not long after, 43 people's hands were tied behind their backs. The ropes were connected one by one.
Yoshishou Kokuro tried his best to raise his head, looking like he wasn't afraid of death.
"Are you wondering? Are you wondering where the things went? And your men and horses are here, "Nantian Fan said arrogantly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yoshishou Kokuro played dumb.
"Battalion Commander Jiang, what should we do next?" Nantian Fan didn't know what to do next.
"Follow them. Send 20 brothers to bring them back. We'll go to the Yoshishou family first, then the Yoshimura family. We'll deal with them together. "
Jiang Chuan didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly. He thought that their family had fewer weapons.
If he went over, he would directly occupy them. The remaining people wouldn't be able to fight.
After he finished speaking to Nantian Fan, he instructed, "According to the number, the 20 of you will go back."
"Battalion Commander, why is it us again?" The 20 people were aggrieved.
"You guys were in too much of a hurry. You didn't have enough time to recover. Go back and bring people to the two families to take over."
Jiang Chuan gave a reason. If they had the ability, they could forcefully march again. The next time, they would still be the ones to go back.
