    "It's a bandit!" Someone in the caravan shouted, causing chaos.

    "Don't panic. Let's go to the mountain over there. There aren't many of these thieves. We've occupied the ground. They may not be able to do anything to us!" Although Zheng Kui was frightened, he reacted very quickly and looked around.  The next scan revealed a solution.  He shouted loudly and led the team towards a small hill, which was the only place nearby that was conducive to defense.

    Zheng Kui knew very well that the caravan couldn't escape with so much goods, and the other party was obviously well prepared, blocking them in this place where there was no way forward or backward.  They had just walked out of the rugged mountainous area. Both the men and the mules and horses had consumed a lot of energy. They couldn't run very far in this gentle hilly area. The bandits only needed to chase them behind and wait for them.  Lie down tiredly.  So the wisest thing to do now is to stay on the safe side, at least this way you can still have some ability to resist and try to negotiate with the other party.  After all, thieves and bandits mostly rob the road for money, and they can't really attack with all their might. They can always negotiate terms.

    Everyone ran after Zheng Kui. The hill was not far away, but the hillside was still a bit steep. It would take a lot of effort for them to climb to the top of the hill, especially since there were so many mules and horses in the team. Everyone was pulling together.  Pulling, pulling and pushing, I finally got to the top of the mountain.

    As soon as Zheng Kui climbed up the hill, he secretly said "Oh no!" because there was a cliff on the other side of the hill. Although it was not high, it was only about 30 feet high. Warriors like Zheng Kui used several protruding rocks as a place to stay.  It was easy to get down for some points, but for others it was necessary to rely on ropes, plus so many cargo mules and horses.  It's like entering a dead end.

    But at this time Zheng Kui could not care about so much and quickly ordered: "Wu Da. You lead the people to gather the mules and horses behind, and the others will form a formation with me to meet the enemy."

    He directed everyone to prepare for battle.  He turned his hands and took out his weapon.  They were a pair of arm braces. They looked very ordinary and seemed to be made of hardwood. But Tie Heng could tell at a glance that these arm braces were treasures. Although they were only the lowest level, they were of great value to these civilians.  It¡¯s already very valuable to people.  Apart from Zheng Kui, only Colgate and Wu Da among the people had their weapons solidified with spirits.  It can be regarded as a primary magic weapon.

    What Colgate is holding is a wooden bow with a unique shape. Judging from the original style, it is likely that it was made by the mountain barbarians. The spells blessed on it are also probably the work of the mountain barbarian witch doctors.  As for Wu Da's weapon, it was a double-edged battle axe. It was the same as Colgate's wooden bow, and its shape was also different from the same type of weapon in Middle-earth. However, the gleaming blade of the ax looked very sharp.

    They had just made arrangements here, and the bandits had already chased them to the bottom of the hillside.  Dozens of thugs brandished knives and guns.  Shouting and rushing over, there was a group of horses in front, led by a burly man, leading the way.

    They rushed to the bottom of the mountain and did not rush to attack.  Instead, they first stabilized their position, and a group of people set up a formation, which seemed to be the same.  It's just that these people have dirty mouths and curse.  There were shouts and provocations one after another.  The chaos was in sharp contrast to their relatively orderly formation.

    "They are really a different kind of bandits. If you close your eyes and just listen with your ears, you won't feel weird anymore." The others were panting from exhaustion, but Tie Heng was relaxed and looking down the hillside leisurely.  of numerous bandits.  "Look at their costumes. They are not much different from the imaginary bandits. Maybe a little better. At least these guys are relatively clean. The formation is not bad. It seems that this bandit leader is from the army."

    Tie Heng turned his attention to the burly man standing in front of the formation on horseback.  This man wears a set of simplified scale armor and holds a spear in his hand. With his strong figure and mighty appearance, he has the aura of a general commanding an army, and people can see his appearance at a glance.  The identity of the bandit leader.

    But when he looked more closely, Tie Heng couldn't help but grin.  The big man looked majestic from a distance, and his appearance was very distinctive. His lion nose, wide mouth, and Chinese character face were very suitable for the appearance of a Jiujiu warrior, but his pair of eyes made people laugh a little.  Because his right eye is as big as a walnut, and his normal-sized left eye seems insignificant in comparison.  There was also this person's left ear, which had obviously been severely injured and smashed with a blunt object. Only a small piece of the ear was left, and a conspicuous scar was left on the side of the head.

    "Chen Dayan, it's you!" Zheng Kui was also watching the thieves down the hillside at this time. When he saw the appearance of the bandit leader on the horse, he immediately shouted angrily.

    "Haha, Zheng Kui, you didn't expect that the leader of the village will be waiting for you here." The bandit leader, who lives up to his name, looked up to the sky and laughed happily on horseback.  He also waved his hand to suppress it, and all the bandit minions shut their mouths, and the hillside became quiet, making it easier for the two of them to shout.

    "Hey, it seems that these two have a grudge, and the bandit leader came here specifically to find trouble." Tie Heng heard this.From the conversation between the two people, it became clear that these two people were old acquaintances or a pair of enemies. The current situation was not just about robbery!

    "Chen Dayan, are you here to seek revenge?" Zheng Kui asked.

    "Seeking revenge is one thing, but taking a fancy to your batch of goods is another." Chen Dayan seemed to feel that he was sure of the other party, but he didn't hide it at all, telling the truth.

    "You have such a big appetite, I might break your teeth." Zheng Kui threatened.  "You have forgotten the lesson of the past. If it weren't for the mercy of my elder brother, you would have died in the wild mountains. Today, if you know the truth and lead your people to move away, we can each go our own way, and that's all.  , if you insist on having your own way, we old brothers will never let you go."

    "Haha, Zheng Kui, you've already reached this point, and you still want to exaggerate. You really think I'm scared." Chen Dayan said, touching the scar on his left ear, grinning evilly and shouting: "Thank you, my eldest brother."  As a gift, I am missing this half of my ear, how can I not avenge this hatred?"

    "Bah, thank you for what you said. Back then, you violated military law. You were afraid of being beheaded in public, so you fled to the wilderness with a bunch of ruffians and became bandits. You robbed passing merchants. When you met a few of our brothers, you were killed by my eldest brother.  You were beaten with a stick because of your own incompetence. Where did you come from so much hatred? Are you only allowed to rob, but not us to resist?" Zheng Kui retorted in a mocking tone.

    "Okay. Okay, then I will rob you today. Do you have nothing to say?" Chen Dayan waved the spear in his hand and shouted angrily.  "I have already explored the nearby terrain. There is a cliff behind this mountain. You have no way to escape. If you are interested, please put down your weapons and hand over your goods and livestock. I am not a murderous butcher. I will always leave  I'll spare your lives. Go find that old man Gao Yi and come back in exchange for some ransom. If you dare to resist without knowing what is good for you, I will kill you or bury you."

    Hearing the village leader¡¯s heroic words, the bandits who lined up behind the horses started shouting and cheering for their boss.  Chen Dayan proudly crossed the spear, waved back and said: "Bring the people up!"

    Several minions immediately pushed two people out from behind the team. It was Wu Er and another guy who was responsible for exploring the path.  Both of them were tied tightly with ropes, with smelly cloth stuffed in their mouths and cloth belts tied around their mouths. Their clothes were damaged in many places.  His face was also bruised and bruised, and he had obviously suffered a lot. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries, not fatal.

    Wu Er was filled with regret at this moment.  He was distracted earlier because he was in a mood, and by the time he realized that he was surrounded by several bandits, it was already too late.  Although two talismans were used, it was still difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.  He was captured alive together with his companions who helped him explore the road.

    But while he was upset, he also felt that something was fishy.  These bandits seemed to be specifically waiting to capture him, and they also knew several of his special skills very clearly, making it impossible for him to light the fireworks signal on his body to warn the caravan behind him. This resulted in  current situation.

    At this time, facing the gazes of his companions on the mountain bag, Wu Er felt ashamed and angry. He was still struggling and twisting under the hold of the two bandit minions, and he made a "wuwu" sound in his mouth. Look at the expression on his face.  , seems to be telling everyone not to care about his life or death, and never agree to the bandit's conditions.

    "Let this kid be quiet." Chen Dayan frowned and ordered sternly.  He pushed Wu Er out at this time in order to intimidate and threaten him. He also told Zheng Kui that his team was trapped and died here, and no one could move in to rescue them.

    When several minions heard what the boss said, they immediately beat Wu Er and another guy who was also struggling with their scabbards and gun barrels, sending them rolling all over the floor.

    "Bastard!" On the top of the mountain, Wu Da saw his brother being beaten severely. He couldn't hold back any longer. He shouted loudly, swung the double-edged ax in his hand, and was about to jump down to save people at the slightest movement.

    But as soon as he stepped out, his arm was grabbed by Zheng Kui next to him.  "Don't be impulsive. You will only kill your brother. I will replace him. You can rest assured." Zheng Kui stopped Wu Da, turned around and shouted down the hillside: "Stop, stop, we have  It¡¯s easy to talk, everything needs to be discussed.¡±

    "Stop fighting." Chen Dayan waved his hand to ask the minions to stop beating him, then tilted his head and stared at Zheng Kui on the mountain.  "Hey, Zheng Kui, have you finally recognized the reality? Very good, this is the right thing."

    Chen Dayan laughed strangely again: "Do as I say, put down your weapons and hand over all the goods, mules and horses. I promise not to hurt a hair on your head. I will only hold you captive and ask your family to pay some ransom."  , how about letting you go back? I am generous enough, right?"

    "No, I can't trust you." Zheng Kui refused without even thinking.

      "Hehe, I am also a spitting nail on the road. What I say will never be ignored" Chen Dayan seemed to be insulted, waving his spear and roaring.

    "Scoff!" Before Zheng Kui could answer, Tie Heng on the side let out a scoff, attracting the attention of Colgate and others.  Tie Heng quickly covered his mouth and made a gesture, saying he was sorry and that everyone didn't need to care.  He was thinking in his mind: "Unless he is a fool, who would believe a bandit's promise? That is as absurd as believing that wolves don't eat meat or dogs don't eat shit. Fortunately, this man said it."

    He felt funny here, and Colgate glanced at him. Under such circumstances, everyone's heartstrings were tense. This man could still laugh and laugh freely, and he looked so different. It was difficult for Colgate not to pay attention to him.

    "Okay, Chen Dayan, we all know who you are, and you don't have to pretend." Zheng Kui said in a deep voice: "We can't accept your conditions. These goods and the mules and horses that carry them are  I can give it to you, but you have to let us leave safely. You can also ask for a ransom. At most, I will keep it for you as a hostage. When the time comes, I will come up with a ransom that satisfies you, but you must not leave others in trouble.  "

    "Haha. Zheng Kui, Zheng Kui, you still want to fool me!" Chen Dayan put away the angry look on his face.  He turned to sneer.  "To tell you the truth, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I was forced by you to have no place in the south, so I had to go to the north and hang out for a few years. Later, there was an opportunity to make a fortune here, and I just  We have gathered so many brothers. Hehe, years ago I was thinking about going back to the south to catch up with you. Unexpectedly, you brothers came to Haizhou to sell goods last month. That time I received the news late.  . I couldn't intercept you. This time I made a lot of inquiries and used many methods, and finally got hold of your whereabouts. I originally planned to give you a surprise last night, but you disappointed me so much.  An old illness broke out and I was delayed all night at the Zhanling Pass. Hum, but that's okay. It turns out that I was worried about being disturbed by others. Since you delayed it for one night, I set off alone early in the morning, which just fulfilled my wish. I can't do it.  It's just a little trick to have people follow you, making Zheng Kui laugh at you for being suspicious. And you think you're smart. I'm sure you don't dare to go to the canyon to the south, and I've already brought people here waiting for you to fall into a trap. "

    Chen Dayan talked a lot.  It can also be heard from this how much resentment and resentment he has towards Zheng Kui and other brothers.  And as soon as he finished speaking.  He blew a loud whistle from his lips.  Another group of bandits immediately rushed out of a forest to the south. The number of bandits was not as large as here.  But there were also thirty or forty people, and all of them were riding horses.

    When Zheng Kui saw this group of people, he broke into a cold sweat behind his back and secretly exclaimed, "What a danger!" If he had chosen to escape or force a breakout just now, but was intercepted by such a group of people, with pursuers behind him, and would be attacked from both sides, the outcome could be imagined.  Know.

    "Uncle, it's the three thugs yesterday. They were the ones who followed us before." Colgate found several familiar figures among the group of thieves. Among them, the three who rushed to the front were the three who occupied Tie Heng's compartment yesterday.  A bad guy, and the others were from the group of people who were hanging behind them before, but they didn¡¯t know where they came from. Their number was much larger than before. Colgate guessed that they were divided into two teams, and one team was ambushing here.  The other team spent the night in Zhanling and followed the caravan in the morning. After seeing Zheng Kui choose to take a detour, they did not continue to follow the caravan. Instead, they crossed the canyon and arrived here early to join the previous team.  Convergence and ambush.

    "Alas" Zheng Kui gritted his teeth secretly, filled with regret.  This time, he made a mistake in judgment and was exploited by his opponent, putting the entire caravan in this desperate situation.  Otherwise, even if we are blocked in the canyon, the situation will be better than here, because the canyon is where the smuggling caravans must pass. Even if we are surrounded by bandits, as long as we delay for a while, there will always be caravans passing by.  If you are lucky and encounter a large caravan, you will be saved.  You must know that the big smugglers all have profound backgrounds. Both the imperial court and Haizhou have strong backers. These bandits and bandits who do business without capital dare not provoke them easily. Even if they really have such intentions, jointly  If several cottages move together, they probably won't be able to take down those large caravans. Instead, they will most likely be taken over by the caravan's guards.

    Tie Heng on the side watched quietly as three villains and thirty or forty minions joined the formation at the foot of the hillside. Those three evil-doing guys were obviously the little leaders among the bandits, and they could flatter the horse.  He squeezed into the row of people behind Chen Dayan, and his position was quite forward.

    A cold light like ice shards burst out from Tie Heng's eyes, but this murderous intention passed quickly and no one noticed it.

    "Zheng Kui, have you seen it? I have quite a few brothers!" Chen Dayan shouted with a sinister smile: "The goods carried by your mules and horses are not enough to share with my brothers!"

    "What do you mean!" Zheng Kui's expression changed drastically, and he faintly realized that something was wrong.

      "What do you mean? Hey, don't think I don't know. The medicinal materials carried by the mules and horses are just small heads. Your really valuable goods this time are all stored in your personal storage bag. I heard that there are two of them.  Nine-leaf Cuizhi, am I right?"

    "You, how did you know?" Zheng Kui, Colgate and others were shocked. This was their secret. Only a few of them in the caravan knew about it. But now a bandit leader revealed it, and they were shocked.  One can imagine.

    "Huh, don't worry about how I know it." Chen Dayan said with a proud look on his face.  "Nine-leaf Cuizhi is a good thing. It can be used to refine the top elixir at the Xuanzi level. These two plants alone are worth tens of thousands of gold. You brothers are really good at it. They stole it from those mountain barbarians.  Got a lot of treasures!¡±

    Zheng Kui didn't say anything. His thoughts were changing now. He knew that there must be a spy on his side. Otherwise, how could outsiders know such confidential information so clearly.  But he couldn't find anyone to suspect for a while. After all, the people who knew this were either his sworn brothers and nephews, or the associates who had followed him for many years. They were all people he could trust.

    "Zheng Kui, I also heard that your eldest brother's daughter is also in this team. Hey, it seems that she is the one next to you. Well, although her skin is a bit darker, she is not bad in appearance and is somewhat pretty.  As the saying goes, the debts of the father are paid by the sons. That old man Gao Yi has no son, so let his daughter pay off the debts! Let me cherish her and take back some interest first."

    "You are shameless!" Upon hearing this, Colgate on the mountain was immediately filled with shame and anger.  Despite her pretty appearance, this girl actually ran with Zheng Kui several times in the wild mountains. She experienced the miasma of poisonous insects, killed monsters and wild beasts, and fought with the ferocious mountain natives. She has already developed a strong temperament.  Fierce and vigorous.  At this time, he became furious, raised his hand and bent his bow, and with a sound of "Boom!", a sharp arrow went straight to Chen Dayan's face.
