Chapter 55 - 46: Taking Action
"Spare it, spare it." The head of the Tian family saw another group of people charging towards them, and his already somewhat panicked expression became even more shaken with fear.
He was the only one in the convoy who knew what was actually being transported in the carriage. If he delayed the family’s important affairs, how could he bear the consequences? But given the current situation, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he was helpless.
At a loss, unsure of what decision to make for a moment.
"The bandits are fierce; abandon the goods and retreat first." Pan Xuncheng could hardly care about the hesitation of the Tian family head, as he blocked another attacking man, shouting.
Taking the opportunity, Pan Xuncheng swung his blade down, leaving some injuries on his opponent’s chest. He had already seized the opportunity, mounted his fast horse, and galloped towards the left fork.
The second-in-command of the mountain bandits fought with him, understanding that for them to decide the outcome between the two of them, it would take a hundred moves, and he was confident of defeating his opponent.
However, not knowing what ambushes lay behind, he dared not fight to the death.
Better to live and retreat, Pan Xuncheng hurriedly fled outside.
The other members of the team saw Pan Xuncheng’s actions and similarly fought while retreating, no longer protecting the goods, and escaped alongside Pan Xuncheng.
Meanwhile, Ji Guoxiang and Zhou Jianxing, who were evenly matched against a group leader, felt a similar urge to retreat upon hearing Pan Xuncheng’s shout.
"Retreat!" they understood each other’s intentions during a breathless pause.
