Chapter 739 Bullying goes too far
Lei Qiang rode the horse he had borrowed from Li Heng and headed straight for Po County. Fortunately, the two cities were not far apart, so Lei Qiang arrived in Po County in just an hour and a half.
When we entered the city, the aroma of food was just beginning to waft through the air.
"Oh no!"
……
Li Ming simply crossed his arms and watched Zhao Lianping and Yan Chengying. Because of Lei Qiang's news, Zhao Lianping organized the remaining people in the escort agency.
Originally, this was something Yan Chengying should have done, but now, Yan Chengying has something more important to do.
Su Mei had just finished bathing, washing away the stench of blood. She wore a white long robe with crimson patterns and a light blue skirt, looking elegant and aloof.
She swept her hair back and casually tied it with a ribbon. "Uncle-Master, is it the Crimson Dragon Gang?"
"Yes, but they only sent Lu Wei and Huang Shun, along with nearly five thousand river pirates, making a great show of force, and they ambushed them three miles outside Pixian County."
Li Ming nodded, but he was still a little confused. He rested his head on his right hand and began to think.
"Why did the Crimson Dragon Gang send out so many people? Was it just to ambush Brother Li Heng? But the retainers Li Heng brought were at most second-rate martial artists, and there were only a few dozen of them. Among them, Li Heng was the most skilled, capable of fighting against twenty armored soldiers. The rest were no match for that large group."
"Lord Li, that new county magistrate is nothing but a coward who fears death. He is already afraid of the power of the Red Dragon Gang." Yan Chengying cursed as soon as he entered the door. The county magistrate had seemed very attentive before, but once something happened, he turned into a coward.
Li Ming simply waved his hand. He could now say that he was indifferent to external gains or losses when it came to the open world.
"Everyone grab your weapons! Cheng Ying, Lian Ping, you two lead a team on bicycles to provide support first. I'll be there shortly!"
"Yes!"
"understand!"
Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping both clasped their fists in greeting. Zhao Lianping put on a suit of chainmail, picked up his steel spear, and prepared to go out.
Yan Chengying was well-prepared and even tossed Zhao Lianping a breastplate, saying, "That Huang Shun is most fond of attacking people from the shadows. Wear a breastplate just in case. Although we only see Lu Wei, we can't say for sure where Huang Shun is hiding."
"know!"
Zhao Lianping chuckled but didn't say much. Li Ming saw the two of them lead a hundred men out of the city first. The new county magistrate didn't dare to offend the Red Dragon Gang, but he also didn't dare to stop the Li Family Escort Agency, so he simply pretended to be a coward.
"Uncle-Master, aren't we in a hurry to go?" Su Mei asked curiously, but her uncle-master shook his head.
"Only Lu Wei has appeared so far, while Huang Shun and Qin Baijiang have not shown themselves. I think this incident may not be so simple!"
How could it possibly take so many people to ambush Li Heng!
The remaining men did not require Li Ming's command. Yan Chengying had already promoted many centurions to facilitate training. Most of these centurions were like Liu Shuimiao, and were guards or constables from various cities.
Li Ming was forced to become an outlaw simply because of the rampant banditry. He never expected that there would be so many people on the ship he casually captured.
The others prepared food reserves, supplies, and troops. These were things that a newly established Li's Escort Agency could not afford, but Li Ming, who had plundered nearly half of the bandits in the East China Sea, could.
Upon hearing the commotion, Cheng Ling Shuang hastily put on a purple dress, holding a long sword at her waist. Even her waist belt was tied crookedly, and her long black hair cascaded down her back. However, there were traces of bloodstains on her neck, which sent chills down one's spine.
"Uncle Master..."
"Hmm, why don't you go take another shower?"
Li Ming looked at Cheng Ling Shuang, who was still very young. Although Cheng Ling Shuang was no longer a little girl and had grown up a bit, Li Ming wanted to complain that Cheng Ling Shuang hadn't even washed the blood off her body!
Su Mei noticed it and reached out to comb Cheng Ling Shuang's hair while wiping it away. "Sigh, Junior Sister Cheng, you're still too careless!"
Su Mei wiped the bloodstains off Cheng Ling Shuang's neck, and now a little red appeared on Cheng Ling Shuang's expressionless face, probably from the heat after her bath.
"What a waste of this meal." Li Ming sighed, but he still glanced at the men from the escort agency. No matter how fast they went, it would take them an hour to reach Pixian. By the time an hour had passed, Liu Shuimiao and Li Heng would probably have been chopped into mincemeat.
Li Ming flicked his right hand, and [Ice Yama? Other Shore] enveloped his entire body, while [Scattered] appeared in his hand.
"Will you two go with the rest of the group, or come with me ahead?"
Li Ming glanced at the two of them. Cheng Ling Shuang was relatively weak, and he wondered if she could protect herself in the chaotic battle with the pirates. As for Su Mei, he was not worried about her at all.
“It’s alright, Uncle-Master, we’ll go with you!” In the end, it was Su Mei, the second senior sister, who made the decision.
"it is good!"
A man with the word "Lingluo" hanging on his back, with Su Mei in his left hand and Cheng Ling Shuang in his right, left Su Mei speechless. She was already a grown woman, but her martial uncle was still holding her like a child. Who lifts someone by the back of the neck like that!
But Li Ming didn't think that much; his eyes were filled with excitement at completing the mission. [Ice Yama? Other Shore] condensed an ice path on the ground, and [Ice Yama? Other Shore] glided along the ice path at high speed.
Meanwhile, in Pixian, Lu Wei, a tall and imposing figure, emerged from a throng of nearly five thousand river pirates. Liu Shuimiao naturally understood the significance of this.
Lu Wei was clearly challenging them, but none of his men were skilled fighters; they only had rudimentary skills!
"Damn it, that's too much!"
Li Heng was not afraid of Lu Wei at all, after all, even if his kung fu was not fully mastered, it was still better than Lu Wei's.
He charged out with his longsword, which brought Liu Shuimiao back to her senses. Oh right, she still had someone with her!
