40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

"boom--"

The grenade exploded in the crowd, and the enemy was caught off guard, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Many people died on the spot.

Fang Jiayao took advantage of this opportunity to speed up his escape.

Fang Jiayao listened to the roars and wails coming from behind. The enemy fell into chaos. He didn't see anyone chasing them for the time being, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Jiayao checked the weapons and ammunition on the carriage. There were not many bullets left. If they continued like this, they would not be able to hold on for long.

The carriage quickly galloped towards the nearest city. As long as they entered the city, relying on the armed forces in the city, the enemy would not dare to take action in the city, and they would be able to escape the enemy's pursuit.

As time went by, the carriage sped along the dirt road, getting closer and closer to the nearest city. They did not see any enemies chasing them from behind, and they saw hope right before their eyes.

However, at this moment, something strange happened.

The speeding carriage seemed to have lost control and was running around everywhere.

Because they couldn't keep their balance, the people in the carriage staggered from side to side, knocking over a lot of things, and getting bruised in many places. Blood was flowing, and wailing sounds were heard in the carriage.

"What's going on?" Fang Jiayao shouted towards the driver, but no one responded.

He held on to the handrails inside the carriage with both hands to steady himself. He opened the door and looked out, only to find that the driver had fallen on the seat with an arrow shot in the chest, and blood was flowing out.

Looking forward, there was an arrow on the butt of the horse pulling the cart. It seemed that the horse was injured and frightened, and there was no one to control it, so it lost control.

If this continues, everyone will die, so Fang Jiayao asks everyone to jump out of the car quickly.

Then everyone endured the pain and jumped out of the car one by one. Everyone suffered injuries to varying degrees.

Before they could come to their senses, they heard a loud noise. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the carriage had crashed into a thick tree trunk and was shattered into pieces.

The horse continued to run forward for a distance, pulling the broken carriage board, and then fell to the ground.

When Fang Jiayao and his companions saw this scene, they were very grateful that they chose to jump out of the car. They were only slightly injured, but their lives were not in danger.

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard gunshots behind them.

It was the Fang family members on another carriage, fighting with a group of enemies not far away.

Fang Jiayao saw that the other party was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and it seemed that the arrows on the coachman and the horse were shot by them.

Fang Jiayao looked at the large number of people on the other side, and then looked at his own side. He realized that even if all the people were added together, they would not be able to defeat the other side. At this moment, he was feeling conflicted and struggling.

"Dad, the enemy is about to catch up. They are in danger. Let's go and help them." Fang Xiaofeng on the side said anxiously.

Fang Jiayao looked at Fang Xiaofeng with a serious face, "Xiaofeng, you have grown up now. From now on, our family will be handed over to you."

Fang Xiaofeng was still waiting for Fang Jiayao to give the order to go over and help, but he heard different content and was stunned.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Come on, let's go over and help. If we don't go now, they will be in danger!" Fang Xiaofeng thought he had misheard and urged Fang Jiayao again.

"Xiao Feng, listen to your father. They are so numerous, how can we possibly defeat them? Take them away, our family cannot be cut off from the incense."

"Dad, how can we leave? If we leave, the rest of us will surely die. One more person means one more strength, and there might be a chance of turning things around!" Fang Xiaofeng said in a trembling voice.

A look of pain flashed across Fang Jiayao's eyes. He knew what the consequences of making such a choice would be, but as the head of the family now, he had to consider the overall situation and ensure that his bloodline would be passed on.

Fang Jiayao was struggling with the children here. When Fang Jiayao finally persuaded the children to agree to leave, he handed the money he had on him to the children and turned around to stay to buy them time to escape.

Fang Xiaofeng and his companions reluctantly chose a direction and ran not far when a group of enemies caught up with them and blocked their way.

They could only raise their pistols and fight the enemy while retreating.

On Fang Laiyao's side, after a tough battle, the bullets in their hands were soon used up, and several people died.

However, the enemy was numerous and had experience in combat, so they quickly surrounded them.

"Hahaha, run, why don't you run? You've made us waste so much manpower and resources." A strong man said with a laugh.

Fang Jiayao looked around and saw that there were only a few people left. He knew that they were doomed.

Now I am only thinking about the few people who escaped. I hope they can get out of the encirclement and live a good life.

Fang Jiayao took a deep breath and looked up at the group of big men who surrounded them. "We have no grudges against each other, why are you chasing us so relentlessly?"

"Hahaha..." The group of strong men burst into laughter after hearing this.

"In troubled times, how can we talk about hatred? We are here for money..."

As soon as one of the big men said this, Fang Jiayao was delighted and immediately said, "You came here for money. We can give you all the money we have, and we only ask you to spare our lives."

As soon as Fang Jiayao said this, the big men looked at him as if he was a fool.

"It's too late to let you go. At first, you didn't resist and handed over the money obediently. We would have let you go only for the money. But now both of us have been stained with a lot of each other's blood. The feud is over. If you were in my shoes, would you let them go?" the big man said coldly.

The big man's words made Fang Jiayao's heart sink, and the other people in the Fang family had already revealed a look of despair.

"We, the Fang family, are a big family. If you let us go, I will give you a large sum of gold when I return. I hope you will let us go." Fang Jiayao wrote a blank check, hoping that the other party would show mercy.

As for the large sum of gold that he had promised to pay out, he would deal with it according to circumstances when the time came. Now the most important thing was to save his life.

"It's even more impossible for us to let you go if you say that. If we kill you, the money and property on you will belong to us, and no one will know about it. If we let you go, as a powerful family of the Fang family, you will not know how to retaliate against us!"

Then the big man changed the subject, "What's more, we received news that your lineage was exterminated. You don't have any money at all, otherwise how could you have ended up like this? Humph, do you still want to treat us like three-year-old children?"
