They immediately lit torches and threw them up!

Seeing that the shady shop was already engulfed in flames,

Liu Qi and Liu Lin felt a sense of satisfaction.

Chen Xizhen's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! We need to get out of here right now!"

"Uncle? What happened?"

Liu Lin asked in surprise,

"Didn't we already burn down that shady shop?"

"You all saw what happened in the kitchen just now!"

Chen Xizhen said in a deep voice,

"This shady shop has harmed countless passersby, but there were only about ten taels of loose silver in the counter just now. Is that normal?"

"yes,"

Liu Qi also realized what was happening.

"These thieves must have had accomplices; they must have taken all the money!"

"What's there to be afraid of! Let's just wait here!"

Liu Lin was young and impetuous; the hellish scene in the kitchen just now...

This had completely ignited the anger within him.

"Perfect timing! We'll kill one if they come, and two if they come!"

"This shady inn is located on a ridge, in a treacherous area, and is most likely inhabited by bandits,"

Chen Xizhen shook his head.

"This den of thieves is most likely run by bandits from the mountains!"

"Your father is still unconscious. The only ones capable of taking action are the three of us!"

"Now that the black shop is on fire, the bandits on the mountain have seen the commotion and will surely come down to retaliate!"

“They have four or five hundred people at a time. Even if the three of us can protect ourselves, how can we protect the others!”

His words made the two Liu brothers feel a chill run down their spines.

Everyone quickly hitched up the horse-drawn carriage.

Head down the mountain!

........

On the cold and beautiful mountain,

The lookout noticed black smoke rising from Flying Dragon Ridge not far away.

At first, I thought that shady restaurant had started cooking again.

I was still thinking about it.

Where did this short-lived wretch come from?

They were turned into human flesh buns!

But to everyone's surprise, the fire grew larger and larger.

Black smoke was already billowing into the sky.

The henchmen then realized something was wrong.

He hurriedly ran back to the village to report...

Chapter 479 Desperate Escape

Upon hearing that Feilong's shady inn had run into trouble, the aloof and beautiful bandit leader, Kuang Jinlong,

They quickly summoned the second chieftain, Shamohai.

Leading a group of henchmen, they charged towards Flying Dragon Territory.

halfway,

Then they encountered a waiter who had just escaped from a shady inn.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A group of ruthless thugs have come to the shop. They've killed all the other brothers, and now they've burned the shop down!"

"Damn it, where did this bastard come from, daring to run wild on my turf!"

Enraged, Kuang Jinlong swung his spiked club twice.

When he arrived at Flying Dragon Territory with his henchmen,

That shady shop has almost been burned to the ground.

Just as Kuang Jinlong was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger,

The fellow we met on the way suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, those people asked in the shop how far Flying Dragon Territory was from Zhaojia Village in Mengyin County!"

"They must be heading there!"

"Damn it, why didn't you say something so important sooner!"

In his fury, Kuang Jinlong

He smashed the guy's head to pieces with a single blow of the spiked club.

350 then roared,

"Let's go, follow me to Zhaojia Village! We're going to catch those bastards who burned down the shops today!"

..........

"Faster!"

The old Taoist priest on horseback kept urging him on.

"Uncle, we can't go any faster!"

The young man sitting at the front of the carriage, responsible for driving, said helplessly.

"If we go any faster, the carriage will fall apart!"

"But if this continues, we'll be caught up by those bandits soon!"

Another young man shouted in alarm.

This group of people came down from Flying Dragon Ridge.

Chen Xizhen and his group rushed to Zhaojia Village in Mengyin County.

They didn't expect it either.

Not long after descending Flying Dragon Ridge

Then they saw a group of bandits angrily chasing after them!

Fortunately, Chen Xizhen and his group traveled either on horseback or by carriage.

And that gang of bandits

Apart from the two leaders

All the other henchmen could only walk!

The two bandit leaders had previously thought Chen Xizhen and his group were easy to bully.

They rode straight up to him.

Chen Xizhen immediately went to greet them.

One against two,

In just a few moves...

They then knocked one of the leaders off his horse.

Unfortunately, he was rescued by another bandit.

That's why Chen Xizhen didn't take the thief's life.

Since then,

Only then did the two bandit leaders realize how formidable Chen Xizhen's group was.

They dared not advance rashly any further.

He then rode his horse behind Chen Xizhen and the others.

They were just waiting for the foot soldiers and henchmen to arrive.

Let's all rush forward and attack together!

Chen Xizhen and his colleagues were also helpless in this regard.

Although a chariot is certainly faster than a foot soldier,

But firstly, the horses they were leading had already been traveling all day.

They haven't eaten any hay or fodder.

The speed was getting slower and slower.

Furthermore, because of the previous frantic running,

The carriage's structure was already somewhat loose.

Nobody knows how much longer they can hold out!

"Hold on a little longer!"

Chen Xizhen said loudly,

"Once we reach Zhaojia Village, we'll be safe if we defend the village!"

"With bandits following us, what if Zhaojia Village doesn't want to take us in?"

Liu Qi said helplessly.

"probably not!"

Chen Xizhen shook his head.

"Since Ah Xiu and Li Qing were able to return to Yizhou with that mirror-like sorghum, their relationship must be quite good. They certainly wouldn't stand by and watch someone die!"

As the group was talking,

But unexpectedly, at this moment,

There was only a "click" sound.

The carriage wheels struck something.

It suddenly tilted and fell to the ground!

The horses pulling the cart also fell and broke their legs.

It looks like I'm not going to survive!

Liu Qi, who was sitting in the front driving the carriage, was thrown out.

His head was instantly broken and bleeding profusely!

"Brother! Are you okay?"

Liu Lin hurriedly stepped forward.

"I'm fine! Go check on your parents and your sister-in-law!"

Liu Qi struggled to his feet, clutching his forehead.

"Your mother and the others are alright!"

Chen Xizhen lifted the curtain of the carriage.
