Luoxia Mountain, halfway up the mountain.
The leader of Jingang Village squinted his eyes and looked down the mountain.
However, they were facing the dazzling sunset, and their eyes were so golden that they couldn't see anything clearly.
He glanced at the middle-aged man beside him who was waving his fan calmly.
"Commander Wu, did you hear it? It's noisy down there, and something seems wrong."
The fan in Wu Juncai's hand slowed down.
He smiled confidently and said, "Master of the village, if you hear the commotion, that means the situation is right."
"What do you say?" The leader of the village hurriedly listened attentively.
His Jingang Village was originally just a small village deep in the Luoxia Mountains.
There are only about twenty bandits in the village. All of them committed crimes near the mountains and were wanted by the government. They had nowhere to go, so they had no choice but to go up the mountains and lose their grass.
They are called bandits, but they had a very difficult life in the past.
Or rely on swarming down the mountain to grab some food from the villagers. Or lie in ambush beside the post road and snatch one or two passing wealthy businessmen or scholars rushing for exams.
Of course, if the villagers in the village below the mountain gathered or if there were more guards passing by, they would not dare to take action.
Only the kind of wealthy locals who are so stingy that they don't even want to hire more guards are the targets they are looking forward to.
Even his first dame came this way.
More than three months ago, just after the New Year, it was still freezing everywhere.
The leader of the village was worrying about where to get some food.
Wu Juncai, who was waving a fan, brought two people and some food, and somehow reached the gate of Jingang Village, saying that he wanted to share the joys and sorrows together.
The leader of Dazhai didn't know what it meant to share joys and sorrows, but as long as the other party had food in his hand, it was easy to talk about it, so there were three more people in Jingangzhai.
Who would have thought that their copycat business would start to flourish from then on. Under the command of Wu Juncai, Jingang Village secretly carried out several major cases, and the number of people in the village directly increased to hundreds.
The stronghold of hundreds of bandits is definitely not weak.
The leader of Dazhai was so confident that he even dared to take action against other colleagues on the Luoxia Mountain Range.
In the vast Luoxia Mountain, the imperial officers and soldiers came to suppress the bandits, but usually they would not encounter a single bandit for ten and a half days. However, it is relatively easy for bandits to find other companions.
In the past two months, their Jingang Village had wiped out several of their neighboring counterparts and became the overlord of the mountain, with their number rising to more than 700.
The leader of the village even managed to grab a mount and the third lady.
The leader of the village knew that all this was provided by Wu Juncai in front of him, and while he was wary, he had to rely on him.
Some time ago, Wu Juncai suddenly proposed to do something big. After finishing this job, the brothers can be prosperous and prosperous for several years.
He was going to rob a caravan that had just returned from Xiliang.
If you travel thousands of miles to do business, you will naturally not return empty-handed. It is said that the caravan contains a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, goods and livestock. The most important thing is that there are also a lot of young women, probably over a hundred.
"Really?" Many bandits didn't believe it.
These days, not many women would travel far away casually.
"You know the Gu family caravan, the leader of the group is a charming woman. So many women heading east are willing to follow her."
"I've heard of it." Many bandits swallowed wildly.
The leader of the village was still hesitating, but his men's eyes were already shining, and they all responded without hesitation and prepared according to the method Wu Juncai said.
Their method of robbing caravans is simple: drugging them!
Just the dose...
The Great Fortress Master was thinking when he heard Wu Juncai's voice.
"It's hard to buy such a large amount of Mongolian sweat medicine, and no drugstore dares to sell it! The brothers still traveled to more than a dozen nearby counties to get it together."
"However, when thrown into the creek, the amount was still a bit small. In addition, with so many people in the caravan, there were always people who ate first and others who ate last. Those who ate last had just taken a few bites, and those who ate first were already fainting. Fallen down. Isn’t this so frightening that you start a scene?”
The Great Barrier Master nodded, listened to the movement below, and couldn't help but take a breath.
He lowered his voice and said, "Commander Wu, can we defeat him?"
"No problem." Wu Juncai nodded without hesitation.
"There are many people in the caravan. But most of them are horsemen who drive carts and servants who feed livestock. These people are not worth mentioning. There are not many guards in fact. As long as they take down half of the guards..."
hey-hey!
Wu Juncai sneered: "We have more than two hundred brothers here, so we are scared!"
Snapped!
The leader of the village slapped his thigh hard.
He is also a ruthless person, otherwise he would not be able to recruit a group of people in the mountain and become the king of the mountain himself.
Looking greedily at the densely packed vehicles and livestock at the foot of the mountain, the leader of Dazhai suddenly said, "It's done!"
"Brother." The second village leader next to him stretched his neck and looked around.
"Then let's wait a little longer until more of them are stunned by the poison. Or should we take advantage of the current chaos and kill them by surprise?"
Hearing that there were hundreds of young women in the convoy, the second village leader was already feeling itchy and restless.
"Now!" The village leader understood the effect of Mongolian sweat medicine, "The amount of medicine in the stream may not be enough, don't let them react."
The bandits came over the mountains and ridges, already hungry. Now they smelled the strong aroma of food at the foot of the mountain and felt even more hungry and thirsty.
As soon as they heard the words of the leader of the village, they immediately became energetic, cheered, raised their weapons and ran down the mountain in a swarm.
"Brothers, we are robbing food and women!"
"Whoever grabs it first will get it. Everyone rush!"
The leader of the village had a dark face and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
It was rare for him to grab a mount. It was his first time to rob such a large caravan, and he wanted to ride a horse to show off his authority in front of his brothers.
However, the Luoxia Mountain in front of us is too steep, and riding down is definitely a mistake.
In the end, he, the two small village owners and Wu Juncai who was fanning fell behind.
Wu Juncai's face was calm, but he felt a little troubled in his heart.
What exactly is this telescope?
Be sure to get it as mentioned above.
However, he had never seen this thing, and the news from it was unclear.
It only said that it was a tube-shaped tool with expensive crystals on it. It should be on the body of a young guard of seventeen or eighteen years old.
As for the name of the guard, what he looks like, there is no information at all.
Such a person is so mysterious?
Wu Juncai instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he had to take one step at a time.
At the foot of the mountain.
Ren Ning and twenty-five Yanxian soldiers were on horseback, lined up in a row, looking coldly at the bandits staggering down the hillside in front of them.
Lei Er took out another sauced lamb leg from nowhere and tore it into pieces.
He snorted.
The bandits in front were sallow, skinny, and dressed in ragged clothes. They had a variety of weapons in their hands, including hoes and hatchets, as well as spears and pitchforks. Most of them were holding sharpened branches.
Rather than saying they are bandits, they are more like a group of refugees fleeing the disaster.
A bunch of rabble-rousers actually put their own ideas on their own heads, and they really didn't know how to live or die.
"Generals, don't rush to take action!" The chief manager of the Gu family's caravan slipped in front of the horses of Ren Ning and others. He looked at the bandits rushing in front of him with fear.
"It's a long business journey, and peace is the most important thing. Let me contact their king first to see if we can resolve it peacefully."
This is how caravans were handled in the past when they encountered bandits and horse thieves.
Negotiate first to find friendship. If there is friendship, it is easy to talk; if there is no friendship, it depends on the strength of both parties, either fight or pay.
Ren Ning looked strange, "Then why did your Gu family caravan invite us here?"
"The commander and the soldiers are very brave, so they are not afraid of bandits." The chief manager glanced at the convoy behind them, his face gloomy.
"It's just that most of the brothers in the caravan were poisoned. Some of them fainted and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Some of them were induced to vomit too hard and couldn't move for a while. It's really not appropriate to start a fight when they meet..."
Ren Ning twitched the corner of his mouth.
Just say that my twenty-six people cannot stop so many bandits.
