After making the necessary arrangements and having lunch, the group continued on their journey.
As they hurried along, their speed slowed down significantly.
That was intentional.
They wanted to give the officials of Jin Province enough time to prepare. Only then would Du Qi be able to truly face the bandits that were chasing after him, and only then would he be able to truly slaughter them.
While Du Qi and his group were heading north, in the northern part of Xiangling County, near the capital of Jinzhou, Linfen County, there were many bandits who were leading their men and running south.
The number of bandits varied. The smallest had only about thirty people, while the largest had two to three hundred people.
More than ten bandits, big and small, were running south.
It was because the officials were chasing them away.
Although they weren't seriously injured, they had no choice but to continue running forward. However, the bandit leaders were all puzzled by the situation.
In any case, they weren't stupid.
If the officials wanted to kill someone, they would not be so slow. They were chasing ducks. After running for a while, news suddenly came out of nowhere that the reason why the government was chasing them was because they wanted them to rob and kill Du Ruhui and his family, who were sent by the court to Daizhou.
As long as they completed their mission, the pursuers would naturally retreat.
They would not continue to chase them away.
Apart from that, the Du family was extremely wealthy and had a lot of money. If they killed the Du family, they would be able to get all of the Du family's wealth.
When the news spread, it quickly spread among the various bandit groups. The bandits gritted their teeth and made the decision to kill Du Ruhui and his family. They wanted to live.
That was the only thing they could do.
It had nothing to do with their positions or identities. They just did not want to be killed by the officials and wanted to live.
That was all.
Therefore, more and more people began to speed up after passing through Linfen County. They kept trying to find out where Du Ruhui and his family were. Then, they prepared to kill Du Ruhui and his family.
When they found Du Ruhui and his family, they started to pounce on them.
Soon, the sentries found out about that.
The scout rushed back on his horse and immediately reported the news to Du Qi. When Du Qi heard that the bandits had finally come, he showed no fear on his face. Instead, he smiled.
Du Qi stopped the group and asked Xiao Yuanqi to call all the brothers and the guards of the Du family. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Just now, I received the latest news."
"The bandits in Jin Province are coming to kill us."
"These bandits' target is us."
"They want to kill us."
"In this battle, we will not retreat. We will kill our way through, killing every single one of the bandits and leaving not a single one behind. Those who are willing to join the battle, stay. If you don't want to, you can stand out now. I won't force you. "
Du Qi said loudly, "Is there anyone who doesn't want to join the battle?"
"No!"
Xiao Yuanqi spoke first.
If they followed Du Qi, they would have to face a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. If there was no danger, if they didn't do anything, they would be treated well. Xiao Yuanqi didn't think it was appropriate.
As soon as Xiao Yuanqi spoke, the rest of the people started to shout.
There were only cries of 'no'.
None of the one hundred and twenty people were willing to leave.
Du Qi heard the crowd's shouts. He nodded slightly and showed a satisfied look. These one hundred people could be of great use. But it was far from enough.
If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. That was Du Qi's style of doing things.
Du Qi looked around and said again, "We must fight in this battle. So I will set a rule here. You will be rewarded with twenty strings of coins for each person you kill. As long as you have the ability, the more you kill, the more rewards I will give you. Everything depends on your ability. If you want to get married and have children, if you want to live a rich life, now is your chance. "
"Long live the Young Master!"
Someone in the crowd shouted again.
Xiao Yuanqi's men were excited. These people licked the blood on the blade and often fought. So this kind of killing was not strange to them.
Now that they could make money by killing people, they would be happy to get twenty strings of coins for each person. Everyone cheered loudly. Their shouts grew louder and louder as they soared into the sky. The entire group was filled with a murderous aura.
Their aura had already been revealed.
It was like a sharp blade.
Du Qi waited for the crowd to quiet down. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Continue to the north."
"Yes!"
Everyone followed the order and continued to the north.
On the way to the north, the whole team's spirit was completely different. The soldiers were all rubbing their fists and holding their own weapons. They were ready to fight at any time.
The journey to the north took less than an hour. On the official road, there was a team of more than eighty people.
It was a group of bandits.
Although there were only eighty people, they were all arrogant.
The leader was called Lei Changgeng.
He was the leader of this group of bandits. Lei Changgeng held a mace. His eyes fell on Du Qi's team. With a bright smile on his face, he shouted, "Boys, the Du Family is in front. Kill the Du Family, and we will have a chance to live. Kill them, and there will be countless money. Kill! "
After Lei Changgeng gave the order, he took the lead and killed with his men.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanqi held a big spear and immediately urged his horse to kill. Behind him were more than a hundred men under Xiao Yuanqi's command. Everyone was shouting and rushing.
They looked at the bandits as if they were looking at money. Because one head was worth twenty strings of coins.
Everyone faced the attack head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already met.
Xiao Yuanqi directly faced Lei Changgeng. The big spear in his hand suddenly thrust forward. The spear went straight to Lei Changgeng's chest. Even though Lei Changgeng was quite strong, he was shocked by Xiao Yuanqi's spear.
Xiao Yuanqi's spear was too fast.
Lei Changgeng almost couldn't dodge it.
Lei Changgeng was caught off guard. He could only lean back to avoid the spear. But the moment he leaned back, the big spear suddenly stopped in the air, and then fiercely whipped down.
Lei Changgeng couldn't dodge this attack.
"Bang!"
The long spear whipped Lei Changgeng's body. Under the fierce impact, Lei Changgeng could no longer stabilize his body. His body shook, and he fell down from the horse.
Lei Changgeng fell to the ground. He didn't care about his injuries, and wanted to stand up. But when he just stood up, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air.
"Whoosh!"
A cold light suddenly appeared.
With a puff, the sharp tip of the spear had already pierced Lei Changgeng's chest.
Lei Changgeng screamed. He grabbed the big spear with both hands and wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, Lei Changgeng's chest was pierced, and he coughed up blood. He didn't have the strength to resist.
Abundant power came out from the big spear.
Xiao Yuanqi's big spear stirred, and directly crushed Lei Changgeng's heart. The long spear twitched violently, and along with the sky full of blood, Lei Changgeng was killed on the spot.
"Kill!"
After killing Lei Changgeng, Xiao Yuanqi shouted again and rushed forward.
Under the leadership of Xiao Yuan Qi, the originally ferocious soldiers roared as they charged forward, causing the bandits to be defeated one after another. Especially when the news of Lei Changgeng's death spread out, more than eighty arrogant bandits suddenly collapsed. No one dared to resist anymore, and they kept running away, trying to avoid the pursuit.
The killing continued. After less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Yuanqi brought everyone back.
Xiao Yuanqi was now covered in blood.
He was like a demon god, and his body emitted a strong evil aura. He stood beside Du Qi and reported, "Young master, there were more than eighty people who came to kill us. Now we have killed sixty-eight people, and the rest have fled. "
