Chapter 124 Gold Ingot
Seeing this, the people nearby were not willing to be outdone. They found a bag and started putting silver and money into it.
When the leaders saw that the money in their hands was about to fly away, they shouted and cursed in panic, trying to make them stop.
But who would listen at this time?
At this time, some bandits had already taken money and food and wanted to escape.
Seeing this, a hot-tempered leader rushed forward and attacked with a knife. The man blocked it twice with his knife.
However, he was outmatched in strength and was soon chopped down.
After the first casualty occurred in the team, the situation not only did not calm down, but became even more chaotic.
The bandits, who had no leader to recognize, gathered together, quickly took some food and money, and tried to escape in a swarm.
When several leaders saw that they were going to take away money and food, they briefly joined forces and led their bandits to stop them.
Soon, the sound of knives colliding was heard.
Lu Qingqing waited on the other side for a long time, but no one came.
If it weren't for the fighting and shouting coming from the boulder, she would have thought these people had taken a detour.
With the majority outnumbered, the dozen or so scattered bandits were quickly killed, and the silver and food they took out were returned.
The leaders were wary of each other. After the previous dispute, they all knew that they could not convince each other.
In fact, the money and food in the caravan were more than enough for these people to share, and the initial fight was just a struggle for power.
These leaders have all seen Ma Damazi at his most powerful, with more than 200 people under his command. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local tyrant.
Those who can become leaders and be recognized by their subordinates naturally have some abilities, and it is inevitable that they have high aspirations.
At this moment, after fighting a battle and understanding the situation, the few people no longer competed to be the boss, but began to discuss the distribution of money and food.
After a while, several refugees fled here. Seeing many bandits with knives in front of them, they were so scared that they dared not move forward.
But they couldn't retreat because the wildfire behind them was still spreading. They had finally managed to escape here.
The refugees were waiting anxiously behind. As more and more people came, the bandit leader also noticed the refugees behind.
Seeing that more and more refugees were arriving, several leaders were worried about looting, so they shouted at them to pass quickly.
I thought the archers in front would continue to attack, but the refugees passed through smoothly.
Although several leaders were puzzled, they did not take it too seriously. The most important thing at this moment was the distribution of silver and money.
They had just seen the boxes of silver and money. There was only one box of gold ingots and six boxes of silver ingots. The rest were copper coins or jewelry.
Now the things that can be carried away are limited, and everyone wants to get more gold or silver ingots. These two things are not only easy to transport, but also have high value.
There are now four teams in total, the largest team has twenty-two people, and the smallest team has thirteen people.
There was only one box of gold ingots, and the team with the largest number of people wanted a whole box of gold ingots, plus two boxes of silver.
The other three teams naturally disagreed, and the arguments started again.
The leader with the hottest temper was about to fight again after a disagreement, but was suppressed by the other three leaders.
At this moment, there is a wildfire behind us that may burn at any time, and there are countless enemies in front of us.
Refugees came from time to time, and the few of them did not hesitate for too long.
In the end, it was decided to divide the box containing the gold ingots equally, and the two teams with more people would each get two boxes of silver, and the remaining team would get one box.
As for the rest, each team can take as much as they can.
After the leaders had a general discussion, the bandits under them began to divide the money and food.
The first thing to be divided was the box of gold ingots. The bandit who opened the box was a habitual thief with a bad reputation.
Because he offended a wealthy man and could no longer stay in the city, he came to Tianlang Village for refuge.
When the man saw the gold ingots, he couldn't help but feel itchy and took two of them when no one was paying attention.
He concealed his hands well and the process was not discovered, but two gold ingots were missing from the place where they were taken.
The other team saw that there were two empty gold ingots in the box, and the habitual thief was standing over there. They believed that he was the one who stole the gold and insisted that he return the gold.
The habitual thief would be watched by everyone now, and he wouldn't dare admit it even if he took it.
The situation became tense between the two parties in an instant. They belonged to different teams and started fighting again without saying a few words.
The leaders were still discussing whether they should travel together in the future when their men started fighting.
They rushed over to stop the fight, but by then blood had already been seen. Two people had died in the team with the largest number of people.
The crowd below was furious, and some of them were shouting that they wanted to avenge their brothers.
Some said that there was nothing to be afraid of since we had more people, and some said that the gold ingots should be distributed to our team.
The leader of that team was taken into custody, so there was no way to just let it go.
After all, he had just become the leader, and his brothers were beaten to death. If he let it go easily, I'm afraid his brothers would disperse.
The leader was still thinking about not making a big deal out of this, and wanted to find the murderer and punish only the murderer.
However, there were also injured people in the other three teams, and they were unwilling to hand over their brothers, causing a complete uproar among the subordinates.
You curse me, and I curse back even harder, and soon we start fighting.
Lu Qingqing was still waiting for them to come over, but she heard the fight breaking out over there again.
She squatted on the ground and waited for a long time, her legs were numb, and the people over there finally finished fighting.
Although the person who came over didn't hold a torch, there was still light behind him, and Lu Qingqing could barely see the figure.
In order to prevent the gold and silver the man was carrying from falling off the cliff, she waited until he had crossed the path and stood against the cliff before shooting an arrow at his chest.
The man subconsciously covered his chest, but he had already lost his strength and fell softly to the ground along the mountain wall.
At this time, the second person had also come over. When he heard the dull sound of the arrow entering the flesh, he was immediately startled.
He subconsciously squatted on the ground, moving forward bit by bit, while loudly reminding his companions behind him.
"There are archers ahead, be careful behind you!"
At this time, the last person had already walked to the middle of the path.
After hearing the reminder, my legs felt weak and I wanted to squat down, but the position did not allow it.
He gritted his teeth and walked forward, feeling apprehensive.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no arrows were shot at him, he heard his companions screaming and was so scared that he fell to the ground.
Lu Qingqing shot the second arrow and hit the second person's neck.
The bandits behind heard the screams in front and dared not move forward.
At this time, Lu Qingqing was unable to shoot the third arrow because the third person fell directly to the ground and could not get up.
The leader at the back thought for a moment and decided to have his men hold a piece of wood to block the way.
The man held a wooden board in front of him. The long board blocked his view. As soon as he stretched his head out, Lu Qingqing shot an arrow at him.
He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head, stuck close to the stone wall, and moved over carefully.
As soon as this person passed by, he quickly moved to the side of his companions.
When the people behind heard that he had passed through smoothly, they followed suit and used wooden boards to block their way.
Seeing that the opponent was blocking tightly and she couldn't find a chance to attack, Lu Qingqing didn't panic because she still had a backup plan.
