Chapter 1279 There are bandits everywhere
Athena jumped up with joy, rushed into her brother-in-law's arms, and kissed him on the cheek. Da Bao also laughed heartily. Zuo Wenbin affectionately hugged his youngest daughter into his arms. He was in better spirits now, and after taking the Lingjing Water and Xueshen Pills, he had regained some of his former handsome appearance.
Upon closer comparison, he wasn't much worse than Da Bao. Thinking about it, that's normal. To make a princess of a country fall madly in love with him, it couldn't be just a matter of saving her life. Imagine if the person who saved Sophia was a burly, hairy butcher, would Sophia still have offered herself to him? Are you kidding me?
If the butcher insists that Sophia marry him, there's a 99% chance Sophia will repay kindness with enmity.
Suddenly, several gunshots rang out outside, along with the rapid sound of horses' hooves. Zuo Wenbin and the others were all stunned. Arthur, however, remained calm. He drew his pistol from his waist, opened the window, looked out, and then turned back and shouted anxiously.
"They're bandits, over a hundred of them, all armed with long spears. This is terrible!"
Da Bao was quite excited after drinking, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Uncle Qing steadily brought over a long box, and Da Bao opened the box. Inside were three AK47s and more than a dozen magazines.
Da Bao grabbed five magazines, tucked them into his pants, and then said to Arthur.
"Don't come out, I'm going to wipe them out."
Arthur skillfully took the gun and nodded.
Da Bao flipped over and squeezed out of the window, scaring Athena into screaming.
"Brother-in-law, be careful..."
Edward went to get the pistol that Arthur had placed on the table, but Zuo Wenbin grabbed it instead. Daisy reached for the other submachine gun too late, and Susanna took it. Helpless, Daisy had no choice but to draw his own pistol.
Edward looked disappointed. What boy doesn't like guns? Uncle Qing smiled and turned around to get a small box. Inside was an ivory-handled revolver and several boxes of ammunition.
"Young Master Edward, let's use this kind of gun. It has less recoil and doesn't vibrate."
Edward was overjoyed, quickly thanked him, and took the pistol.
Zuo Wenbin leaned against the window, looking out. The train had slowed down, and the bandits on both sides were firing shots into the air as they rode up on horseback.
Just then, Da Bao fired his gun, his submachine gun spraying bullets like popping beans...
At this time, the passengers in other carriages were in chaos. There were no guards on the train. Usually, when robbers robbed, the train would pass quickly. If it couldn't pass, they would have no choice but to wait for their fate.
The robbers were stunned by the sudden burst of bullets. They looked up through the hail of bullets and saw a young man wearing a vest, shirt, and riding breeches holding a long gun in both hands, with bullets raining down on him.
The bandits' spears were knocked to the ground before they could even raise them. Da Bao grew more and more excited as he fought, even throwing out two ready-to-explode grenades from his spatial storage.
These grenades, which explode in mid-air, were far more lethal. In less than three minutes, over a hundred bandits had left behind more than thirty corpses, slowing down their pursuit.
Da Bao subdued all the bandits with just one AK-47. This wasn't because Da Bao was exceptionally strong, but simply because the bandits were too weak. They were local farmers who would intercept trains in their spare time, and they always intercepted cross-border trains.
They only took action after crossing Austria and reaching French territory, simply because the French police were incompetent and Austria didn't care since they had crossed the border, which allowed them to act so recklessly.
They do this kind of thing two or three times a year, so the surrounding farmers are all very wealthy. Robbery is indeed the fastest shortcut to getting rich, but they never expected to run into a brick wall today.
The bandits slowed their pace on horseback; they were getting a little scared. But Da Bao wouldn't allow it; he hadn't had enough fun yet. Da Bao, gun in hand, ran and drove forward along the roof of the carriage.
In just a short while, more than a dozen bandits fell. This time, the bandits couldn't hold back any longer. They shouted and prepared to turn their horses and run away. If they couldn't beat them, couldn't they at least run away?
This didn't work. Da Bao kept rummaging through his spatial storage, pulling out loaded guns. These three guns were originally meant to be displayed to Arthur and the others; there was a reason for that.
The bullets kept going, and the bandits were stunned. They came with more than a hundred men, but only twelve returned. Well, this was the bandits' just desserts. The eighty-odd dead were enough to make every family in the surrounding villages mourn.
The train picked up speed again. This was a group of experienced robbers who knew to strike when the train slowed down to make its move. Unfortunately, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly; they lost their lives and their horses without getting a single penny.
Da Bao climbed in through the window again. He glanced at his wife and children. The two of them were so carefree. Despite the commotion outside, they were still fast asleep and even sweating.
Zuo Wenbin looked at his son-in-law in surprise. They had seen it clearly from the window just now: a man holding a long spear had actually suppressed more than a hundred bandits. How did he do that?
Athena grabbed Da Bao's leg and looked up to ask.
"Brother-in-law, have you driven all the robbers away?"
Da Bao rubbed her little head and said with a smile.
"Yes, they've all been chased away and will never bother our little singer again."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Daisy went to the door, opened it, and saw that it was the person in charge of the train. He was pot-bellied, wearing a tall cylindrical hat and a dark blue uniform.
He saw the bag and immediately bowed.
"Gentlemen, thank you for driving away the robbers. If you need anything, please let me know."
Daisy nodded arrogantly, then closed the car door, leaving the embarrassed manager standing awkwardly at the door with a forced smile. He knew that the people sitting inside the car were all dignitaries and wanted to take the opportunity of expressing his gratitude to get to know them in the private room, but they wouldn't even let him in.
The train pulled into the Paris train station. Sophia put on her hat and slowly, heavily, stepped off the train. Eight years had passed since she left; she never imagined she would return.
She looked at the Eiffel Tower in the distance, the towering Arc de Triomphe, and the faintly visible spire of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Zuo Wenbin reached out to help her, and the group slowly walked out of the station exit. Along the way, they could be heard gasping from other passengers; no one dared approach the group because their two pets were waddling along in the middle.
The tall, imposing white wolf had fierce eyes, as if it might pounce at any moment and bite the travelers' throats off. The lazy white tiger, on the other hand, seemed harmless, but the occasional glint of cold light in its eyes seemed to be telling everyone to stay away from it, or face the consequences.
