Erlong Mountain also has nine twists and turns. The bandit leader also chose a cave as their lair. It looks like a group of primitive people. They also made a name for themselves in Qizhou by virtue of their bravery and ruthlessness. However, even after entering the cave, they still remain the same. No one is guarding it.
The entrance to the cave was narrow and winding. Li Ke felt strange even when he was walking in front. If he really met a bandit leader with an incredible IQ, why was there no sign of an ambush so far, all the way from the summit to the cave? There were opportunities to lay traps and launch attacks, but everything went surprisingly smoothly.
He deliberately made a sound, thinking that there would be an ambush around the corner, but he swung his sword in the air, and the cave was still so quiet, and it didn't look like there was an ambush at all.
"That's strange. Did you get it wrong?"
No one can explain the almost undefended mountain stronghold. Li Ke and Qin Zaiming each led their men to outflank the bandits from two directions. However, there was no movement at all along the way. There were only men whose throats were cut on the road. Currently, none of them were Never encountered it.
Counting the guy who was on fire just now, it can only be counted as one. There are at least a thousand bandits in Erlong Mountain, and fifty elite soldiers may not be able to kill them. Therefore, before launching a surprise attack, people were sent to seize the door so that they could escape. The remaining cavalry reunited.
"Eat, eat, please, just give us some food!"
"Uncle and brother, please, are we dying of thirst?"
The voice was that of a woman who was too weak. Li Ke led the people to a cave that was too foul-smelling, which was clearly a concentration camp.
There are more than a dozen women imprisoned, all of them are in ragged clothes and very thin. They must have been kidnapped by bandits, and they are as good as dead if they are alive.
"Hush, hush~, we are here to save you. Where is the thief's lair? Why is it so quiet?"
Even after prying open the fence, no one came to stop it. Erlong Mountain was too quiet for the bandits to escape after hearing the news. Tonight's operation was temporarily launched. The more Li Ke thought about it, the weirder he felt.
A woman with tearful eyes limped and led the team deeper into the cave. The figure behind her seemed to sob a few times, and then walked forward while holding on to the rock wall.
Ah~!
The woman calls herself Qing Cui and is the leader of Li Ke's team, so she will see the situation ahead before others. At her feet are a pile of stumps and broken arms, as well as the horror of a broken stomach and intestines. The expression on her face is too complex.
Li Ke also knew that those who died were all bandits in Erlong Mountain, which made it even weirder. What happened didn't look like they were being surrounded and suppressed by the army. Moreover, he brought Qin Zaiming's elite to suppress the bandits without notifying foreign aid. Yes, why are there so many casualties now? I am getting more and more puzzled.
Living people stepped on dead people, and the weapons in their hands were only swords and crossbows. Those dead eyes were full of terror. What on earth had they experienced during their lifetimes?
The corpses lay scattered on the ground, and they could be seen more clearly. They were not chased to death by outsiders. These bandits from Erlong Mountain were killing each other. Several corpses just proved Li Ke's conjecture. The swords pierced each other. They insisted on causing each other's death, and in the end they both went to hell together.
Now there is no need to worry about the hordes of bandits, they are almost dead.
"Escort the girl down the mountain first, and then notify the people nearby to help dispose of the body. I..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard sparse footsteps behind him. He immediately pointed with his teammates at the entrance on the other side with a crossbow, for fear of being outflanked. Li Ke now had too many questions, what happened in Erlong Mountain? .
"There are scenes like this along the way. The dead are all the bandits and bullies here. It seems like they are really killing each other!"
Qin Zaiming entered here and passed through the treasure cave in Erlong Mountain. There were a lot of gold and silver treasures, and there were corpses scattered on the ground. From the current point of view, it could only be a big fire in the village.
But what is the reason for the bandits who cooperate closely to do this? It would be fine if there was a survivor. Li Ke arrived too late, and the body on the ground was basically cold.
After Li Ke and Qin Zaiming reunited, they searched the entire cave and found no living person. It seemed that there was some mysterious force that caused these domineering bandits to kill each other, but Li Ke never believed in any ghosts and gods. But there is no way to immediately explain what happened here.
The abducted women clapped their hands and applauded. Most of the people who died had bullied them and were now free. However, it seemed very unclear how to proceed in life.
"Your Majesty, it's so great that the mountain god used his hands and feet to kill these bastards!"
Chen Shou naturally wanted to say some nice things, but he didn't dare to go inside to investigate.
A large group of people entered Erlong Mountain. In addition to rescuing the woman and tracking down the stolen goods, more importantly, they wanted to investigate what happened here. It would be best to find a few survivors to clear up the doubts one by one.
The thieves found several times either climbed over the top of the mountain and fell to death, or fought with the officers and soldiers with weapons. In the end, they were executed on the spot, and fewer and fewer people knew about it.
The rescued women couldn't provide any clues. Apart from meeting the damn bandits, they had no empathy. After all, their lives were forced to change because they set foot on Erlong Mountain.
"For the rest, the general will naturally take care of the prince's worries, but now there are many affairs in Licheng and Qizhou, and it is urgent for the prince to go back and deal with them, so..."
It was just a matter of sending him away directly. Qin Zaiming just wanted to ensure Li Ke's safety. The fact that Erlongshan was silenced made people shudder.
"General Qin is so loud. Maybe you go back first and I stay..."
Before he could quarrel with anyone, he heard another woman's voice calling for help from behind.
"Help, it's killing, help, it's killing~"
A woman rushed toward the officers, followed closely by a man covered in blood, with a mutilated knife in her hand, as if it had been used many times.
The officers and soldiers first protected the King of Shu, and then they had to protect the woman who was getting closer.
Phew~, the woman took the initiative to throw herself into Li Ke's arms. She was very uncomfortable being pushed by something. She could also look at people carefully. She didn't look like a woman from the Tang Dynasty, but more like someone from the Western Regions. , with fair skin, green and bright eyes, and sandy gold hair.
Wow, I didn't expect to meet a foreigner here, and she was such a beautiful woman. Li Ke was also moved. After all, she kept relying on him.
The pursuer was missing his left hand and was too muscular, chasing the woman like a bull.
"He is the leader of the thieves in Erlong Mountain, kill him, kill him..."
It was the poor women who shouted in unison. Their eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness. Li Ke saw that the thief's eyes were red, and his head was swinging from side to side, as if he had taken some forbidden drugs and was crazy.
