Bandits usually occupy some dangerous mountain peaks and use their geographical advantages to rob passing merchants.
They wouldn't take the initiative to rob the city, let alone go to the capital Xianyang to rob. Isn't this just waiting for the First Emperor to get angry and send people to level their mountains?
Besides, bandits only rob for money, so why would they rob a wine delivery person?
No matter what Xiaoshota thinks, she thinks it’s impossible!
"Young Master, please, please save my brother!"
Seeing that Xiao Zhengtai was indifferent, Yu Ji mistakenly thought that she was worried and refused to save people, so she cried even harder.
"Don't cry yet...!"
Xiao Zhengtai comforted Yu Ji softly, then looked at Fan Kuai, "Have you sent someone to investigate? Are you sure it was a bandit? Have you confirmed the location, location and number of people?"
"Yingchi and Lao Han have already taken people to investigate, and it's probably time to come back now!"
Fan Kuai nodded and looked into the distance.
"Da da da……"
In just a few breaths, the young lady heard the clear sound of horse hooves, and then Han Xin and others appeared in front of everyone.
"How is it? Where is my brother? Have you found him?"
Seeing them dismounting, Yu Ji rushed over to ask.
What he got was indeed Han Xin shaking his head in disappointment and helplessness!
"We chased him twenty miles outside the city and found only the body of this guy and nothing else!"
The clerk was sent to deliver goods with Yu Wenxuan today. At this time, he had multiple stab wounds on his body, and the stab wounds were fatal.
Seeing the boy's body, Shota took a deep breath and suppressed his anger!
"Give the body to his family for a good burial and give him generous compensation!"
"yes!"
Yingchi accepted the order.
"Young Master, my brother's life or death is uncertain now. He...will something happen to him?"
This corpse really frightened Yu Ji. She cried even harder and almost fainted.
"Don't worry, if those bandits want to kill, they won't just kill one. Since they didn't find other corpses, it proves that Yu Wenxuan and the others are still alive!"
Xiao Zhengtai analyzed it this way, and at the same time he was comforting her.
He didn't know what the specific situation was. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing!
"I've heard... I've heard the news!"
At this moment, Peng Yue ran back panting and found that the young lady was also there, and then he bowed his hands.
"Okay, stop messing with these useless things and tell me quickly. What news did you get?"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand and kept urging.
"There is a Hujian Village about fifty miles outside the city. It is entrenched on Hujian Mountain. Based on its dangerous geographical advantage, it often robs passing merchants. Someone saw it and it was them who robbed it today!"
"Any more?"
"It is said that there are about a hundred people in this group, and I don't know anything else!"
Peng Yue told everything he heard.
"Damn it, are these bandits crazy because of their poverty? Not only do they dare to enter the city to rob, they also dare to steal our young master's things. It seems that the name of our Flying Eagle team is not strong enough!"
Fan Kuai tightened his grip on his sword and said with a fierce look.
"Well, we need to teach these bandits a lesson...!"
Xiao Zhengtai nodded and continued: "But we can't bring so many people up the mountain, it's too conspicuous!"
Since those people have been able to occupy the mountain as kings for so many years, they must have advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, and they have people watching over them. As long as a large number of officers and soldiers go up the mountain, they can hide well.
"What should we do?"
Fan Kuai looked at the valiant and high-spirited soldiers behind him. Everyone wanted to settle accounts with those bandits.
"Fan Kuai, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingchi, Yingbu, you guys go up the mountain with me, the others stay!"
Xiao Zhengtai selected a few with outstanding martial arts skills.
At this time, the leaves on the mountain have almost fallen off. There are too many people and it is difficult to find cover, so it is easy to be discovered.
If the six of them go into battle lightly, the chance of being discovered will be greatly reduced, increasing the chance of rescuing Yu Wenxuan and others!
"Young Master, would it be too dangerous if just a few of you go?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but worry.
After all, there are hundreds of people on the other side.
Among bandits, this is a very large group!
"What? You don't believe in the strength of our Flying Eagles?"
Xiao Zhengtai did not answer the question.
"Young Master is right, those people are just a bunch of rabble, a few of us are enough!"
"Yes, I can kill twenty of them by myself, no! Fifty!"
Peng Yue and Yingbu's voices were loud.
"Okay then, you must protect the young master and never let him get hurt!"
Seeing their persistence, Zhang Liang had no choice but to nod and give instructions.
"No need!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved his hand, and Zhang Liang then remembered that the young master was strong enough to weigh a thousand pounds. If there really was a fight, there was no telling whether they could beat the young master together.
So, a few people rode on their fast horses and headed to Shanghai to build the mountain, while the others stayed and waited for news.
…
"Young Master, take a look, is there a house on the mountain in front of you?"
Han Xin squinted his eyes and looked at the mountainside not far ahead. He could vaguely see some shadows similar to buildings, but he was not sure, so he asked.
"Let me see!"
Xiao Zhengtai took out the telescope from his arms, adjusted the focus, and nodded firmly, "Yes, that should be Shanghai Jianzhai!"
"With such a large building and the people who pass by it are often robbed, can it be that the government has been unable to eradicate it?"
Han Xin couldn't help but murmur.
Even if the mountains are covered with green leaves in the summer, it's not easy to find them here, but in winter you can see their location at a glance, so no one can't find their nest yet.
"The terrain here is dangerous and there are so many of them that the few officers and soldiers sent by the government cannot wipe them out. If the court sends a large number of troops, they can flee in all directions immediately and wait for the troops to retreat before coming back. Besides, people like them dare to enter The ones in the city are probably all connected with the officials in the city!"
Xiao Zhengtai took back the telescope and guessed.
Isn’t that what TV dramas from later generations were all about?
Leave a few people stationed on the most dangerous mountain peaks and report anything unusual immediately.
Fight when there are few people! If there are many people, run away!
Therefore, bandits have emerged in endlessly in every era, and repeated attacks are still in vain!
"Oh! That's right!"
Han Xin looked suddenly enlightened.
"Then how are we going to fight this time?"
Fan Kuai scratched his head and asked.
"Let's split up, surround this Shanghai stronghold, and rescue Yu Wenxuan and others!"
It was nothing more than a group of bandits, and Xiaoshota didn't want to waste his brains, so he just went up to them and solved them as quickly as possible.
"I agree with the young master's opinion. If he dares to arrest anyone from our Flying Eagle team, I, Old Peng, will have to twist his head off!"
Peng Yue has a straightforward personality, and of course he hopes to have a good fight.
