The bandits asked the bandit leader: "What should we do now?"
The leader of the bandits looked at the Qin soldiers and barbarian officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, thought for a while and said: "These two groups are clearly at odds with each other, but they ambush here in unison. It seems that they plan to use our place as a battlefield to start a big fight. .”
The bandits around him nodded.
The leader of the thieves thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay put for the time being. Don't provoke these people. We'll wait and see."
The bandits all agreed.
I don’t know how long it took, but the bandit in charge of the lookout said: “Someone is coming, someone is coming.”
When everyone looked over there, they found several Qin people riding horses through here.
The leader of the thieves asked a thief next to him: "What do you mean?"
This thief's name is Ludin, and he is the wisest among the bandits. Therefore, if the thief leader has any problems, he will discuss them with him.
Vaguely, this Ludin has the feeling of a strategist.
Ludin lived up to expectations. After thinking for a while, he said to the leader of the thieves: "I understand. There must be important Qin people passing through here."
"After the officers and soldiers got the news, they quietly ambush here. They wanted to sneak attack on that important Qin man."
The leader of the thieves nodded and quickly said in confusion: "However, why are the Qin people also ambushing here?"
Lu Ding thought for a while and said: "This is because the Qin people also got the news and knew that there were officers and soldiers ambushing here, so they wanted to sneak attack the officers and soldiers."
The leader of the thieves felt that it was a bit confusing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Ludin said made sense, and it was probably true.
So the thief leader nodded with satisfaction and said to Ludin: "You are indeed a smart person in our village."
Ludin smiled modestly.
At this time, there was a shout from the mountain, and the Qin people who were ambushing in the grass jumped up and rushed towards the Qin soldiers down the mountain.
The bandit leader was stunned, all the bandits were stunned, and Ludin was also stunned.
Why do the people of Qin... want to kill their own people?
The leader of the thieves looked at Ludin, who coughed dryly and said, "Maybe... maybe they didn't want to kill their own people. They just... they just saw their fellow villagers and said hello."
The leader of the thieves said: "Is there anyone who greets you like this?"
The Qin people below all held swords in their hands and rushed towards the passing Qin soldiers crazily. They looked like they were going to fight. It really doesn't feel like a hello.
Lu Ding coughed dryly: "Maybe... Qin people's customs are weird?"
This is simply forced explanation and nonsense.
Suddenly, Ludin slapped his forehead and said: "I remembered it. Look, these Qin people are wearing our clothes. Now they are holding up their swords to chop down their own people. What does this mean?"
People around him shook their heads in confusion and asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
Lu Ding laughed: "This shows that these Qin people have surrendered their officers and soldiers and surrendered to us. Now they are eager to make meritorious deeds, so they want to kill their own people to gain trust."
The leader of the thieves said: "Your explanation... is not impossible. However... the Qin soldiers are now victorious and have never lost a battle. Why do this group of Qin people surrender to us? Are they crazy?"
Ludin: "Well..."
He hesitated and hummed twice, feeling that he really couldn't explain it, so he closed his mouth.
At this time, a fight started below, and the thieves' attention was all attracted by the Qin people below, but no one paid attention to Ludin anymore.
So Ludin breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, he was also attracted by the lively scene below.

"Sir, there seems to be a sneak attack by thieves." A Qin soldier said to Zhao Tuo.
"Are they the bandits from the Evil Wolf Valley?" Zhao Tuo asked.
He knew that there were bandits in the Evil Wolf Valley, but he didn't expect that these bandits were so courageous that even Qin soldiers dared to sneak attack.
Bandits, no matter how powerful they are, are just thieves.
If thieves fight with soldiers, they can only seek death.
Even if they succeed through a sneak attack, can they withstand the anger of tens of thousands of troops?
So Zhao Tuo couldn't believe that the bandits in Evil Wolf Valley were so brave.
The soldier said to Zhao Tuo: "The identity of this group of thieves has not been made clear yet, but judging from their clothes, they seem to be barbarians."
The soldier said as he took out the binoculars.
He put the telescope on his eyes, looked into the distance, and then let out a sigh.
Zhao Tuo asked: "What?"
The soldier said: "It's strange. The group of people rushing towards us are indeed barbarians in appearance, but their appearance seems to be Qin people."
Zhao Tuo's heart moved slightly, and then he smiled: "If it's from Qin, that wouldn't be surprising."
Then, he said to the guarding soldiers: "When I came here, Mr. Fu Yao had already told me that I must be on guard against others. Now it seems that I was right."
"Young Master, you are truly a genius."
After Zhao Tuo sighed with emotion, he said to the soldiers: "That's it, let's try our new weapons on them."
So, these people took out some strange-looking things.
These things are very long and look like a big iron pipe.
One end of the iron pipe was placed on the person's shoulder, and someone supported the other end, and the medicine was ignited. Then he slowly started to aim at people in the distance.
The people in the distance were a little nervous. They had been murmuring in their hearts ever since they were sent here by Feng Jia.
Be an enemy of the Immortal? Is that any different from seeking death? But most of these people are named Feng and are slaves of the Feng family.
They were either directly servants of Feng Queli, or they had relatives working as servants in the Feng family.
Therefore, they are loyal to Feng Quli, and they must also be loyal to Feng Quli.
Therefore, even though they were muttering in their hearts, they still came and stayed here in ambush.
When Zhao Tuo and his group appeared, they jumped up and rushed down.
The leader was Feng Jia's distant nephew, Feng Gui.
It was the first time that Feng Gui took so many people to kill people. He was a little nervous and a little excited.
He decided that he must do it cleanly this time and never let his uncle down.
Perhaps after it is completed, my uncle will be overjoyed and promote himself.
Feng Gui was thinking wildly as he charged forward, but when he was halfway through the charge, he saw the Qin soldiers in front of him taking out that strange-looking pipe.
For some reason, Feng Gui always felt frightened in his heart.
Could this thing be some kind of long-range weapon? It should be remote, otherwise there would be no need to take it out so quickly.
Is it a gun? Are they going to throw guns at us? How far can it be thrown?
What else could it be?
But Feng Gui is not worried because the distance between the two sides is still far away.
At such a distance, even beyond the range of a bow, these big tubes are of no use.
However, at this moment, Feng Gui saw a ball of fire coming out of the tube.
Immediately afterwards, his body trembled, and Feng Gui felt a sharp pain in his heart. Then, he heard a loud noise, like a muffled thunder.
Then, Feng Gui fell to the ground.
He suddenly remembered that it was said that Shangjun Academy had developed a new type of weapon that could fire lead pellets with a very long range and was indestructible.
Could it be... is this a new type of weapon?
Feng Gui sighed and struggled to get up, but he failed.
He had been hit in the thigh and was bleeding.
There are many people like Xiang Feng Gui. They were knocked down before they even saw the Qin soldiers on the opposite side.
In fact, only a dozen people were knocked down. After all, Zhao Tuo's number was limited.
However, the collapse of more than a dozen people was enough to frighten Feng Gui's people.
Zhao Tuo waved his hand, and his Qin soldiers rushed forward.
They held bursts of crossbow arrows in their hands, and a burst of arrows shot down several more.
And then...and then...the rest of the people started to run away.
Zhao Tuo looked at the fleeing Qin soldiers and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that these people also know the integrity and shame of Zhongyi, and they also know that what they did is shameful."
Zhao Tuo caught a few alive at random, and as for those who couldn't catch up, forget about it. Anyway, I have already guessed the identities of these people.
Coincidentally, Feng Gui was among those arrested.
Zhao Tuo looked at Feng Gui and said quietly: "Did Feng Quli send you here?"
Feng Gui clenched his teeth and refused to speak.
Zhao Tuo said: "I'm too lazy to interrogate him. When we get to Xianyang City, someone will naturally ask you. Someone, please take good care of him and don't let him commit suicide."
So, two Qin soldiers came over, tied up Feng Gui Wuhua, and stuffed something in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
Qin Bing asked: "General, shall we continue to move forward?"
Zhao Tuo asked the Qin soldiers: "Don't worry, send a few people out to see if there are any other ambushes around. The terrain here is dangerous, so we must be careful."
Qin Bing nodded.
They explored it and quickly returned.
The soldier cautiously said to Zhao Tuo: "General, there is indeed an ambush ahead."
Zhao Tuo: "Oh? Who is he?"
The soldier said: "They are still far away, so we have no way to confirm their identities. But... Judging from their clothes, they should be Qin soldiers. Maybe they are Feng Quli's people."
Zhao Tuo frowned: "I didn't expect Feng Quli to be so cruel. He couldn't kill us at once, so he sent another group of people?"
"What should we do?" the soldier asked nervously.
This soldier was just an ordinary soldier and knew nothing about the struggles at the top. Now that he saw Feng Quli actually sending people to chase him, he was a little scared.
Feng Quili smiled at him and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, there is a banished immortal."
The pawn nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Quili said: "Let's withdraw from this place first, send out scouts, and quietly find out the situation of the other party."
Everyone agreed and retreated like a swarm of bees.
Wolf Valley, quiet down.
The leader of the bandits said to the bandits: "I suddenly feel that it would be better for us to surrender to the Qin people."
The other bandits nodded in agreement.
They all saw the powerful weapons of the Qin people just now.
Faced with such a powerful weapon, who has the strength to fight back?
At least not for officers and soldiers. If you surrender to the officers and soldiers, you will die sooner or later. It would be better to surrender to the Qin people as soon as possible.
If they can fight side by side with the Qin people afterwards and destroy the officers and soldiers, maybe when the Qin people will reward them for their merits, the bandits can be promoted to high positions and achieve glory and wealth.
The bandits stood still, but Zhao Tuo and his group had already withdrawn from the Wolf Valley and reached a nearby mountain peak.
The mountain peak was very high, and Zhao Tuo used a telescope to see it clearly.
Whether they were bandits or Anthony's people, they thought they were hiding very well, but when Zhao Tuo took a condescending look at them, they all revealed their secrets.
Zhao Tuo said: "It's strange. The bandits are ambushing, and the Qin people are also ambushing. What are they going to do?"
A Qin Bing nearby who was specifically responsible for the lookout said: "General, I feel that that group of people is not Qin Bing."
Zhao Tuo sighed and asked curiously: "Seriously?"
The soldier nodded and said, "Although they wear our clothes, their hair and weapons are different."
Then, the pawn handed over a high-power telescope.
Zhao Tuo was a little unaccustomed to using it. With the guidance of the pawn, he found the group of people after a lot of effort.
Zhao Tuo observed for a while, then nodded slowly: "Interesting, very interesting. These people are really not from Qin."
"But what are these barbarians doing pretending to be us?"
Zhao Tuo said to the Qin soldiers beside him: "Go around and ambush behind them to see what they are going to do."
Qin Bing agreed and spared him cautiously.
…………
The assassins sent by Anthony are now embarrassed.
They had just seen the battle between the Qin people, and they were a little confused and a little scared.
They were a little unsure whether to continue assassinating Marco Polo.
Assassinate... Qin Bing may not have gone far.
Don't assassinate him. This is the task assigned by Anthony.
Fortunately, Qin Bing seemed to have withdrawn and did not dare to leave from here.
These assassins unanimously warned the people around them: "This assassination must be carried out quietly, and no sound must be made, so as not to be heard by the Qin soldiers. If they turn back, it will be terrible. No one will be better by then." Eat the fruit.”
By this time, Marco Polo had entered the Valley of the Wolf.
Marco Polo led a donkey, and the donkey's back was full of gold coins.
As he walked, he giggled happily.
At the beginning, all his small group surrendered to the Qin people, but he did not surrender because he was smart.
He learned how to make a fortune from the people of Qin.
It turns out that people's bizarre experiences can be compiled into books, and it turns out that telling books can make money.
Marco Polo felt like he had opened a new door.
He risked his life and came back to put his idea into practice. Unexpectedly, it was a great success, and it was even more successful than he imagined.
Good, very good, very good.
Marco Polo has now returned home in glory.
After returning home, you can become a rich man.
No, I still have to continue telling stories and make more money.
Marco Polo felt that his future was bright.
