Chapter 390: Chapter 386: Tied Up_1
“Great! We will just wait for them by the road!”
Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin were furious, and quickly sent their servants to chop some long branches from the roadside.
They gathered stones themselves, and placed them in the middle of the road.
As soon as they were done, sure enough, about ten people protecting two horse carriages pulled up.
As the horse carriage came closer, Wei Zhan, leading several others, charged forward, using the long sticks to knock the horse-riding guards off.
Taking advantage of their disorientation, Yingbao, Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu, and a few other children jumped on them, pinning and tying them down one by one.
Those who were quick in response inevitably engaged in a fierce fight before being knocked unconscious.
Xiao Chengjun was also knocked to the ground and tightly bound by Wei Zhan’s servants.
Next, it was time to switch horses.
Chen Tiantian and the Han Family’s wet nurse were screaming in fright, clutching the child and not daring to leave the carriage.
Tied up like a dumpling, Xiao Chengjun remained defiant, roaring at Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin, “Wei Zhan! Wen Hengyin! Do you want to die?”
Wei Zhan scoffed lightly, pointing at the dead horse, “You’re the one who wants to die! If you didn’t act unkindly, why would we be unjust?”
Saying that, he led the horse over and harnessed it to his carriage.
Yingbao tethered the remaining three horses to her carriage, planning to take them away.
Then she looked at Xiao Chengjun and the others with a cruel and merciless gaze, wondering whether she should wipe all of them out.
But considering the safety of her own family, she decided against it.
If Xiao Chengjun dies, those who ran away earlier will definitely suspect her group.
Since they can’t wipe them all out, they shouldn’t act rashly.
While they are out in the open, the Xiao Family is hidden. If Xiao Mo seeks revenge for his brother, they would not be able to defend themselves.
“Take their weapons too.” The old Mr. Wu stuck his head out from the carriage: “Search the inside of their carriage again and take all the sharp utensils.”
Jiang Sanlang nodded, picking up the weapons with his nephew, taking off the swords and daggers from the guards’ bodies.
Chen Tiantian and the Han Family’s wet nurse were also pulled out. Everyone joined forces to pin them to the ground and tie up their hands and feet.
The little kid didn’t cry, only watching the crowd anxiously. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly ran towards old Mr. Wu’s carriage.
Yingbao searched the carriage and found two daggers and a pair of scissors.
Then she rummaged through Chen Tiantian’s bundle and picked out a thick cloth skirt. She cut it into strips and handed it out for everyone to blindfold Xiao Chengjun and the others, before kicking them into the roadside ditch.
There was water in the ditch, but it was frozen, and those people fell onto the icy surface.
Wei Zhan, mischievously, wanted to damage the wheels of Xiao Chengjun’s carriages, but was stopped by Yingbao.
These two carriages were very sturdy, spacious inside, and equipped with everything from bedding, far superior to their own carriage.
Yingbao asked Wei Zhan and her elder brother to go ahead, while she and her dad covered the rear.
Jiang Cheng and Wei Zhan didn’t understand, but Jiang Sanlang knew what his daughter was planning.
She probably couldn’t bear to leave the injured horses behind and wanted to sneak them into the cave dwelling.
At Yingbao’s insistence, all the carriages moved away.
Yingbao glanced at the dozen or so people writhing in the ditch, making sure that they couldn’t see a thing. Only then did she collect the injured horses and the two carriages, as well as the three horses tethered behind her carriage.
She approached Chen Tiantian with the dagger in her hand, debating whether she should send her to heaven.
As she pressed the dagger against Chen Tiantian’s neck, Yingbao suddenly experienced a piercing headache.
What’s going on?
Startled, Yingbao stood up and stepped back a few steps.
Jiang Sanlang walked over, took the dagger from his daughter’s hand, and said in a low voice, “Let daddy do it.”
Yingbao grabbed her dad’s hand and shook her head. “Let’s get out of here quickly!”
She was suddenly overcome with a great panic and dragged her dad to retreat.
Chen Tiantian cannot be killed, at least not for now.
