The fastest updates are on "Immortal Pills for You, Poisons for Me!"
According to the original book's description, the heroine's family runs a tea business and is considered wealthy in the county town. Therefore, after the city fell, they were naturally targeted immediately. Read М
When Lu Jing and the others arrived at the entrance, they found it was already a mess. Not only were various objects smashed, but there were also several corpses, all of whom appeared to be servants of the household.
Some of them were still clutching sticks or hoes, seemingly trying to guard the gate.
Unfortunately, although these servants and men were courageous, how could they possibly be a match for the regular army? Now they were all cut down on the ground, with some of them dying particularly tragically.
Seeing an old man whose hands and feet had been chopped off, Feng Erniang's expression also became unpleasant.
However, she still maintained her composure and said to Lu Jing, "Don't be impulsive. There are probably quite a few Tartars here."
Lu Jing nodded. He could tell from the footprints on the ground and the warhorses in the yard that there were at least a dozen or twenty soldiers in this residence, which was more than the four of them could handle.
Even if the four of them could unleash their inner potential and wipe out everyone inside, the time it would take would be enough for the enemy to call for help. Then they would be facing thousands of troops.
Therefore, Lu Jing didn't rush in headfirst as he had done before.
Instead, he turned to Falcon and said, "Can you use their language to shout, 'Stop, don't run! Leave the money and goods behind!'?"
Falcon first glanced at Feng Erniang, then nodded to Lu Jing, "No problem."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to shout loudly outside the residence later to lure the people inside out."
Feng Erniang didn't object, but frowned after hearing Lu Jing's words, "Those Tartars aren't fools. If they don't see anyone or any money and goods when they come out, they'll definitely go back and continue looting the place."
"You're right, so we need to make some more preparations." Lu Jing said, "Everyone, spread out now and see if there's anything valuable nearby."
"But the Liang family is the richest in this area." The girl who had been rescued by Lu Jing and was acting as a human navigator on horseback interjected, "Where else can you find more wealth than the Liang family?"
"That's not important. We just need to make those Tartars think we're carrying a lot of wealth. In short, everyone go scavenge first and come back in a quarter of an hour."
As Lu Jing spoke, he walked to the horse and asked the girl on horseback, "Do you want me to put you down first?"
"No need. You'll have to tie me up again later, which is too much trouble." The girl was quite understanding, and finally said with a red face, "I don't want to be snatched away again after being snatched away by you."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to stay on horseback for a little longer." Lu Jing said.
After speaking, he also joined the scavenging ranks. If other Tartars were passing by here at this time, they would definitely not suspect the identities of the four.
However, Lu Jing's luck was only average this time. After a quarter of an hour, he only found one hundred taels of silver notes and some scattered silver.
Especially silver notes during these chaotic times of war are no different from waste paper unless they are issued by well-established and powerful money houses.
Fortunately, Feng Erniang and the others had quite a fruitful harvest.
After all, they were professionals who had been robbing and looting for many years, and their accumulated experience allowed them to see at a glance what valuable things were in the house.
In the end, they managed to piece together a small half-box of wealth.
However, Lu Jing didn't want these riches. He threw all the riches on the ground at intervals, and then found several empty boxes, including the original one, all filled with stones, covered them, and put them on a carriage together.
After doing all this, he drove the carriage past the Liang mansion, and Falcon started shouting after he had driven a distance, "Stop, leave all the gold, silver, and treasures on the carriage behind!"
It has to be said that this guy is quite talented in acting. I don't know if he has played a similar role before, deceiving passing caravans.
Anyway, listening to his shouting, although Lu Jing couldn't understand what he was saying, he could feel his urgency and greed just from the tone.
As a result, more than a dozen Tartar soldiers rushed out of the residence. They were holding some property in their hands, but these properties could not satisfy them. Until they saw the money, wealth, and jewelry "dropped" on the road, their spirits were shocked.
A big fish! This is definitely a veritable big fish.
When those Tartar soldiers saw this, they suddenly went back to get their horses, roaring like they had been injected with chicken blood.
And when they all chased out, Lu Jing and Feng Erniang came out of a small shop next to them.
Lu Jing didn't rush into the Liang mansion, but first asked Feng Erniang, "Will those two be okay?"
This simple sentence also greatly increased Feng Erniang's goodwill towards him. Lu Jing was obviously anxious to save his beloved woman, but he still cared about the safety of the two who helped him lure away the pursuers. This shows that he is not a white-eyed wolf, and they did not help the wrong person this time.
Feng Erniang said, "Don't worry, we are doing… bandits, the other skills of the righteous army are not good, but getting away are all good shows."
Lu Jing very knowingly didn't ask why getting away was a good show for the righteous army. In fact, when Lu Jing first met Feng Erniang and the others, he could see that this group was not kind, and they were probably bandits before.
But since Feng Erniang concealed it and didn't say it, Lu Jing naturally wouldn't expose her. He turned his head and went to the horse to untie the rope on his human navigator.
Feng Erniang was stunned, but then seemed to understand something and nodded, "You are still thoughtful, it is too dangerous to leave her alone here."
"Yeah." Lu Jing responded vaguely.
Then he and Feng Erniang entered the house, but after walking not far, both of them stopped. They heard the sound of things being smashed and women crying from the direction of the backyard.
Obviously, not all of the Tartars were called out by Falcon's shout, and some people were still unmoved. I just don't know how many of them there are.
Lu Jing and Feng Erniang looked at each other, both drew out the scimitars from their waists, and then Lu Jing took another step forward, but suddenly felt something soft leaning against his back.
