Chapter 314 The Fish Return to the Sea
Let’s talk about Xie Xiaogang, Zhao Yuwei and Manager Chen. They had no money on them.
In desperation, they had to sell the two horses to the landlord for the low price of fifty taels.
The owner of this house was quite nice. Even though Xie Xiaogang and his friends had no money, he still readily let them stay.
Furthermore, the landlord's family was not wealthy, and fifty taels was all they had to offer.
In terms of actual value, these two horses are worth at least two hundred taels.
However, it is not easy to secretly find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital. You will need food and accommodation along the way.
The low price for the horse can be considered as a way to repay the landlord for letting me stay overnight.
So the three of them started their long hiking journey, saving money along the way and moving forward with difficulty towards the capital.
As a pampered princess, Zhao Yuwei had never experienced such hardship of long journey and walking.
In less than a day, her feet were covered with blisters, and every step she took was excruciatingly painful.
Xie Xiaogang and Manager Chen were both very concerned about Zhao Meir's arrest. They were extremely anxious and wished they could fly to the capital immediately.
But they really couldn't bear to leave Zhao Yuwei, a delicate girl, alone on the road, so they had to be patient and accompany her step by step forward.
At noon, the three of them came to a remote tea pavilion.
Zhao Yuwei was hungry and thirsty, and her legs could no longer move.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaogang and Manager Chen had no choice but to stop and take a rest here.
"Sir, the water is here!"
A burly man shouted as he placed three bowls of water heavily in front of them.
Zhao Yuwei was already thirsty at this moment. When she saw the water, she picked up the bowl and drank it without thinking.
"Girl, wait!"
Xie Xiaogang's voice sounded urgently.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhao Yuwei had already gulped down a large bowl of water.
"Xie Xiaoge, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yuwei asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Nothing, nothing! Don't worry!"
Xie Xiaogang forced a smile and comforted her.
As the captain of the transport team, he had personally experienced someone drugging his tea before, so he was extremely cautious at this moment.
I didn't express my doubts because I didn't want to make Zhao Yuwei worry more.
After a while, Zhao Yuwei felt dizzy and her head was heavy.
"Thank you, brother. I feel dizzy!"
Before she could finish her words, she fell headfirst onto the table.
"not good……"
Shopkeeper Chen and Xie Xiaogang stood up from their stools at the same time, thinking to themselves that something was wrong.
"Hahaha..." A burst of crazy laughter suddenly rang out.
"late!"
The gang of thugs who were pretending to drink tea quickly surrounded them.
The leader had a ferocious smile on his face. After laughing wildly for a few times, he said viciously:
"Even if you didn't faint, what would happen? There are only three of you. Do you think you can escape?"
"Xiao Gang, carry the girl on your back and run away. I'll be behind you. Quick..."
Shopkeeper Chen reacted quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he launched the first attack, trying to buy time for Xie Xiaogang and Zhao Yuwei to escape.
"He's quite a martial artist, and quite powerful. Brothers, go ahead..."
Seeing this, the leading criminal was not afraid at all. Instead, he shouted excitedly.
Following his command, ten people attacked Manager Chen with all their might, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
The other three people surrounded Xie Xiaogang.
Xie Xiaogang was extremely anxious, knowing that the situation was critical. He gritted his teeth and used his strongest move. The powerful airflow instantly repelled the three attackers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly carried Zhao Yuwei on his back, turned around and ran away.
"Where to escape!"
"Chase……"
Xie Xiaogang ran desperately with Zhao Yuwei on his back, with five gangsters chasing him closely.
He knew that running like this was not a solution, and suddenly he saw a dense forest on the side of the road.
He came up with a plan and rushed into the woods with Zhao Yuwei on his back.
This forest is intricate, with branches crisscrossing each other, making it very suitable for hiding.
Moreover, Xie Xiaogang grew up in the mountains in the countryside. To him, the forest is like a fish returning to the sea.
Xie Xiaogang found a secluded bush to hide in.
At this time, Zhao Yuwei woke up.
Just as she was about to say something, Xie Xiaogang immediately covered Zhao Yuwei's mouth gently to prevent her from making any sound.
The criminals who were chasing them reached the edge of the woods, hesitated for a moment, and then went in to search.
But the light in the woods was dim, and after they dispersed, it became difficult for them to communicate with each other.
Xie Xiaogang signaled Zhao Yuwei not to make a sound.
He seized the opportunity, quietly went behind a lone gangster, and knocked him unconscious with a powerful blow.
He snatched the knife from his hand, and with a flick of his hand, he killed the gangster.
"what……"
Zhao Yuwei let out a scream.
She had never seen such a bloody scene in her life.
At this moment, she stared in amazement as a living life disappeared in front of her in an instant. She could no longer suppress the fear in her heart and made a sound involuntarily.
Zhao Yuwei's cry was like a sharp sword, piercing the quiet night sky and attracting four other people.
They quickly gathered towards Zhao Yuwei.
Xie Xiaogang didn't dare to delay for a moment. He rushed towards Zhao Yuwei like lightning. Without even asking for her consent, he carried her on his back and ran desperately into the depths of the woods.
