The guards stopped early and stood in the middle of the trail to wait for them. When a few thugs saw this, they felt that the situation was not good, and they didn’t dare to go forward while standing far away.
The guards were very patient, and waited until all the little gangsters gathered, then stepped forward: “Aren’t you going to rob us? Come on!”
“Wha? What? What nonsense are you talking about? Who said we were going to rob you, we are just passing by… Yes, can’t we pass by?” The people in the villages and towns were less knowledgeable, but that doesn’t mean they don’t wink.
The more they live at the bottom, the more they know how to look at people. They were far apart before, so the gangsters didn’t realize how powerful the guards were. Now that the two sides were standing so close, if the gangsters still realize reality, then they don’t need to mix in the river and lakes.
“Passing by? Where are you going?” The gangsters backed away and didn’t want to rob people anymore, but would the guards let them go?
The duty of a soldier was to defend the homeland. Defending the family and the country doesn’t have to kill the enemy on the front line. If they clean up these little gangsters, they were also defending their families and the country.
“We, we’re going to the front. Just go to the front, you are blocking our way. Are you still going? If not, give the way and let us go.” The little gangster thought he was smart and found a good reason, so he righteously shouted at the guard.
“Go ahead? Okay, I’ll make way for you. You go…” The guard standing in the front sneered, turning sideways to signal the gangster to go over, while the guard at the back stood aside holding the knife. If the gangsters walked forward, it was like sending themselves to the door to find a fight.
“Uh…” The little gangster who took the leadership realized that he seemed to have dug a hole and buried himself.
“You go quickly, or do you want me to invite you?” The guard urged with a cold face.
The little gangster who took the lead had a distorted face, and the younger brothers behind him kept looking at him and pulling his clothes: “Boss, we can’t come forward, let’s run.”
“That’s right, these people are not easy to mess with, let’s just run. We didn’t do anything, and they wouldn’t know what we were doing.”
“Shut up!” The little gangster in the lead interrupted his younger brother impatiently, and looked at the guard with a smug look: “I don’t want to go now, what should I do? Or why don’t you go first? ”
Run? They have two legs, while this group of people has horses with four legs, where are they going?
“Okay. But we went wrong the way, we were about to turn back, but you guys are blocking my way.” The guard said coldly, there was a murderous air coming out. The gangster was startled, and hurriedly moved out of the way: “Or, I’ll make way for you, you go first…”
“Make way? I’m afraid things won’t be solved so easily.” Although the group of thugs didn’t do anything, the guards still didn’t intend to let them go: “Since you guys have delivered yourselves to our door if I don’t teach you a lesson, how will you learn well?”
It’s not that these gangsters have a conscience that’s why they decided not to do anything, they only back down because they know they can’t beat them. Such people, if they encounter common people and caravans that they can beat, will definitely rob and hurt them.
“You, what do you want to do? Don’t come here, don’t come here, we haven’t done anything, you can’t beat me.” Seeing that the situation was not good, the gangster who took the lead turned around and was about to run, but could they outrun the four-legged horse?
In the blink of an eye, the gangsters were surrounded by guards, and then… they were beaten.
The guards didn’t know whether these little gangsters had blood on their hands, and they didn’t have the time to investigate. After beating them up, they tied them all up and then sent a letter to the government to let the government take care of it.
They were only soldiers and have no right to deal with these people. As for whether the government will handle the case impartially, this was not something they can decide… …
