Chapter Thirteen Successful Escape

  Although they successfully knocked down two strong men, the two strong men had used their long spears to knock down one of Xiao Tianjian's subordinates before being knocked down themselves, which made Xiao Tianjian involuntarily admire the bravery of these two strong men.

  Fortunately, it was because of the chaos caused by the mad cow that the villagers and tenants were thoroughly dispersed. Although someone had already noticed that the number of rioters who broke in was not large, when they surrounded them, it was already too late.

  After taking down the three blocking guards, a group of people rushed to the front of the manor gate and quickly opened it. Iron Head and Xiao Tianjian stood on either side, using their knives to cut through the ropes suspending the drawbridge. The bridge let out a loud creaking sound as it fell into place over the moat, kicking up a cloud of dust. Big Cow and Tiger immediately urged the horses forward, and the carriage sped out of the manor gate in a cloud of smoke.

  The remaining people cheered and followed the two carts, swarming out of the village gate with torches in hand, fleeing wildly towards the outside.

  Before leaving, Tie Tou still picked up the short axe that Xiao Tianjian had thrown away and chased out of the village gate with it in hand.

  It wasn't until then that the farmhands and tenants in Zhuangzi finally caught up to the entrance of the farm, watching with their eyes wide open as Xiao Tianjian and his group escaped.

  Although some of the angry farmers and tenants had the heart to chase after them, they were now without a leader and were all afraid that these fierce bandits might have accomplices lying in ambush outside the village, fearing that if they gave chase they would fall into another trap. So they could only stand at the gate, cursing loudly, but no one dared to pursue beyond the village. They watched helplessly as Xiao Tianjian's group disappeared into the darkness, and finally, reluctantly, pulled up the drawbridge again and closed the gate, busily going back to put out the fire.

  When Xiao Tianjian stopped with a group of panting men, carrying guns and knives, he turned his head to look at Liu Family Village again, only to see that Liu Family Village was already filled with thick smoke and flames soaring into the sky.

  "My goodness, what a close call! These villagers and tenants are risking their lives for Liu Bao Pi!" Zhao Erdui was running so hard that he was out of breath, panting like a broken bellows, leaning on his long spear, his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground.

  Looking at the expressions on other people's faces, they all had a look of being in a trance-like state. Some were lying on the ground, while others were leaning against the side of the large truck, panting heavily, as if they didn't dare to believe that they had actually made it out alive. For a long time, no one spoke up, and they just stared at each other blankly.

  It wasn't until a while later that they recovered from the shock of their narrow escape, and when they looked at these two carts full of grain and goods again, everyone felt it was worth it. If they had done things according to their original plan and crawled out of the hole in the ground, then probably by now each person would have been able to carry half a sack of grain on his back, let alone two whole carts full of stuff!

  Xiao Tianjian was also exhausted and panting slightly, but compared to others, his condition was much better, only a bit rougher breathing. If he really had to keep running, he estimated that he could run another segment without any problems. In terms of physical ability, these people were basically incomparable to this tall and strong modern man.

  "Wow, boss! I'm really impressed by you! Earlier when you said we'd charge out of the front gate, I thought you were crazy and that we were done for! But who would have thought we actually made it out, haha!" Feng Gouzi wasn't tired at all. When they charged out earlier, Xiao Tianjian had taken care of him since he was injured on his back, letting him lie down in the first big vehicle so he could follow safely. Now, Feng Gouzi climbed down from the vehicle and said to Xiao Tianjian with a face full of admiration.

  His words also expressed everyone's thoughts, just now no one didn't think Xiao Tianjian was crazy, but now, most people are standing here alive and well, although two brothers were lost, the vast majority of people escaped from the villa safely, so no one dared to have any reservations about him anymore.

  Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the firelight to take stock of their numbers. They had entered with seventeen people, but now only fourteen were left. One had been shot dead by arrows on the gate tower, one had been stabbed to death by the farmhand at the entrance, and another was missing. It was likely that this person had run too slowly and hadn't managed to escape with the others. The outcome didn't need to be thought about - it was definitely a case of more harm than good.

  But Xiao Tianjian didn't care about this kind of thing, nowadays the cheapest thing in this world is human life, doing this business without thinking about death is impossible, the key is that they have already achieved their goal, and gained a lot from Liujiacun.

  This time, he ventured to break through the front door, but it was not purely due to greed. When they were blocked inside the courtyard, he found that the people in the villa lacked organization and could be described as a loose sand. If not, they would not have given them so much time to prepare. Moreover, after being slightly frustrated, they did not dare to come forward, which proved that the other side must not have had a leader to take charge, giving him an opportunity.

  Moreover, he had also observed the terrain outside the mansion's gate. The mansion's main gate was directly opposite the village gate, a straight road, and not far away. Although there were many guards and tenant farmers on the other side who were very capable of fighting, they were all concentrated in front of the main gate. However, the yellow cows raised by Liu Bao Pi made him suddenly think of the ancient "Fire Cow Formation".

  He finally came up with a way to break through the front door, although it was somewhat adventurous, but the possibility of success was still very great. This action was undoubtedly a gamble, but he laughed in the end.

  Fortunately, he has this skill of throwing things, otherwise today he might have fallen in Liujiacun. It seems that having a special talent can indeed save one's life at critical moments!

  Just as they turned back to watch the big fire of Liu's village, a black shadow led a horse towards them. Someone immediately grabbed their knife and pointed it at the approaching person, asking: "Who is it?"

  "It's me! It's me! Zhang Tong!" The person in the darkness hastily waved his hand and shouted loudly.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Jing Fu Zi had found his way over from outside the village, following the light of their torches. So everyone sat back down again.

  Jing Tongyi suddenly felt a thrill of excitement when he saw Xiao Tianjian and the others. He had been standing alone outside the villa for most of the night, tense with anxiety, his mind racing with thoughts. He was regretful that he hadn't followed them in, yet at the same time, he felt lucky to have escaped. He also felt grateful to Xiao Tianjian, but what worried him most was that if Xiao Tianjian and his group fell into trouble in Liu's villa, how would he, Jing Tongyi, be able to cope on his own?

  He had been thinking wildly for half the night when he suddenly heard a big commotion coming from the Zhuangzi, and after waiting for a while, he saw fire breaking out inside. Before long, in the light of the flames, he saw a group of people driving two large carts, fleeing frantically from the Zhuangzi.

  After confirming that these people were Xiao Tianjian's accomplices, Jin Tong finally dared to show up, went to lead the war horse, and hurriedly rushed over to join forces with Xiao Tianjian.

  "Where are we going now? We can't just run around following these two cars! In my opinion, let's find a place to rest for a while, if you trust me. I know of a place where we can hide for a bit, not far from here, but very secluded, ordinary people won't go there, and the authorities will definitely not find us!" After resting for a while, Feng Gouzi looked at the big fire in the Zhuangzi and said to Xiao Tianjian.

  Xiao Tianjian looked back at Liu's village and nodded: "Alright! Let's go put our things down first, that's a good idea!"

  And so a group of people followed Feng Gouzi onto the road without any objection, and because of this matter, everyone's attitude towards Feng Gouzi also changed, no longer looking down on this rascal.
