Chapter 222: Battle of wits
Not long after the team set out on the road, Tian Yuyu discovered that the people behind them had been squeezing into their team. At first, there were only two or three of them, but later they became more and more blatant.
"A group of troops." Tian Qi suddenly shouted to the team.
Then all the guards and servants began to move around. The team, which had been in a mess due to the collision, was arranged neatly again. The old and weak women were in the middle, and the young and strong men were around. They surrounded everyone in the team tightly and left no chance for others.
"Fuck, did Big Brother and the others discover us? Otherwise, why did they suddenly change their formation?" A thin, lame-looking man among the people crowded around Tian Yuyu and his group said with his head down.
"It seems we have been discovered, but don't be afraid. Let's keep a close eye on this group of people. I don't believe they won't let up. The worst that can happen is we can wait until night to take action." The eldest brother who answered was a long-faced man with a ruddy complexion, which was in sharp contrast with the people around him.
"Yes, that's what Big Brother said. I'll give the order right away."
Soon, the people who were trying to squeeze into Tian Yuyu's team no longer tried to force their way in, but chose to follow them closely. As long as Tian Yuyu and his team stopped, these people would also stop. They would cook and the other party would also stop to look for food.
However, both groups knew the truth very well, because the long-faced man's men had been sticking to Tian Yuyu's team like a dog-skin plaster, the other teams on the official road began to avoid them or keep a distance from them, but for some reason, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't distance themselves from them.
Now it seemed as if everyone was pulled off the boat, and everyone started to get nervous. However, Tian Yuyu and his group were being targeted, but they didn't seem to feel anything at all.
But all this was deliberately planned by Tian Yuyu and his team. When the sun began to set, the small teams trapped by Tian Yuyu finally found a breakthrough and left this place of trouble. They either moved forward or changed their route.
However, Tian Yuyu deliberately slowed down the team.
"Brother, how are we going to deal with these people then?" Tian Yuze rode his horse to his elder brother and Xue Shaoqing.
"I'm afraid these people have ulterior motives. We have given them a chance. Since they don't want to leave, just do what you should do. You can take your grandfather and the Xue family and leave first." Tian Yuyu said without much concern.
Tian Yuze naturally knew his elder brother's strength, "Okay, don't worry, elder brother, I will make sure everyone is safe."
"Ha, Yuze is a grown man now." Tian Yuyu said with a smile while looking at his younger brother.
"Hehe, that's right." Tian Yuze felt a little embarrassed after finally getting praise from his eldest brother. After all, his eldest brother seldom praised them.
After receiving the order, Tian Yuze immediately led Jiu Ye to clear the way in front, with Tian Qi assisting from the side, leading the team to speed up.
The guards in the front row were changed to guard on both sides. Tian Yuze was at the front of the team, and the masters and young masters of the Tian family and the Xue family were almost all in the middle.
Tian Yuyu and his men divided the team into two halves. Because the team was long, they took advantage of the fact that the long-faced man and his men had not noticed that the situation had changed.
Tian Yuze led the first half of the team away at full speed.
The second half of the team mainly consisted of some household sundries, clothes and the like, as well as quite a few servants and maids. They blocked the view in front, and those in the back did not notice that most of the people had already left.
The people in the second half of the team began to slow down and the team began to become a little messy. The long-faced man just thought that these people were tired and didn't take it seriously.
Tian Yuyu quietly gave another new order, and then the team began to become disorganized, and the long-faced man's men took the opportunity to insert themselves into Tian Yuyu's team.
They thought their plan was successful, but they didn't expect that they had fallen into the trap of Tian Yuyu and his team. After almost all of the long-faced man's people had mixed into the team, Tian Yuyu's team quietly began to surround them, encircling their people in circles, but they were still unaware.
Just as everyone was walking until the sun began to set, the atmosphere in the team suddenly changed. At this time, the long-faced man and his men began to realize that something was wrong. They pulled the sloping-legged man next to them and said in a low voice, "Thin man, wait a minute, I feel that the atmosphere is a little wrong. Let's not walk anymore, or they might find us."
"No way, big brother, I think they didn't find us. Big brother, you are overthinking it."
"Do you want to believe me? If not, just keep going." The long-faced man's tone was already very impatient.
"Brother, I was wrong. I listened to you. I, I was bewildered for a moment." The sloppy-legged man who was called Skinny realized that his brother was serious and dared not disobey him anymore.
The two had begun to slow down their pace, preparing to quietly leave the team, but their plan failed. Tian Yuyu and the others had already kept an eye on these two people. The others were just small characters, and these two people must not be let go.
Just when the two men felt that they were being watched and were about to turn around and rush out of the team, Tian Ba had already blocked their way.
"You two, where do you want to go? Why don't you go for a walk together?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? We are not on the same side as you, so why do you care where we go?" said the long-faced man, pretending to be calm.
"Humph, you've followed us all the way, and the knives on your body are all exposed. Why don't you want to give it a try? It's a bit boring to just surrender like this." Tian Ba said provocatively.
"Let's go." The long-faced man made up his mind, whispered something, turned around and rushed to the other end, ready to rush out of the team.
It's a pity that from the moment they planned to attack Tian Yuyu's team, they were doomed to fail.
After a while, Tian Ba came back slowly while wiping his sword, "Master, we've dealt with it, what about the others?"
Tian Ba looked at the people who were surrounded. Because his actions just now were fast enough, most people did not see his actions, and it was over.
The bodies of Long-Faced Tian and the Thin Man were lying in a snow pile beside the road. It was impossible to tell that there was anyone there unless you got closer.
"Let them report on each other. All the adulterers will be dealt with one by one. For the rest of the people, regardless of gender, age or status, one leg and one hand will be broken." Tian Yuyu's words were unquestionable.
Tian Ba and the others didn't ask any questions and just did as they were told.
After resolving all these issues, Tian Yuyu and his men sped up to catch up with Tian Yuze and the others.
Tian Yuze and Xue Shaoqing had already found an open space not far from the official road and started preparing to cook. This would be where they would stay tonight, and he was waiting there for Tian Yuyu to come.
"Brother, you are back, how are you?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing, it's all resolved."
