On Heifeng Ridge and in Heifeng Village, since Xiaoliu and the others who blocked the door had withdrawn, the bandits also felt the comfort they had not seen for a long time.
They seemed to have returned to their happy life of chatting, dazing, sleeping, eating, and waiting for the boss and others to assign tasks.
Especially since Master Xie was away and no one forced them to practice, they were living as happily as gods.
Of course, the only fly in the ointment is that the boss does not allow people to go down the mountain to plunder, saying that he is worried about attracting further encirclement and suppression by the government.
"I'm so scared. There were so many officers and soldiers besieging the mountain gate last time. We couldn't do anything about it. In my opinion, when they escaped last time, we should chase them out and kill them to pieces to see if they dare. Don’t dare to mess with us.”
"That's right, just like Brother Xie said to pursue the victory, we will directly attack their town and loot their town. We will kill all the men and snatch all the women back. How happy that would be."
Several bandits guarding the gate of the village were chatting with each other with nothing to do. When they were enjoying themselves, they laughed and boasted all kinds of things.
But despite their boasting, no one dared to go down the mountain privately. Even when they left the village, they only dared to wander within a hundred meters of the village entrance.
Not to mention entering the dense forest outside the cottage, if there was even the slightest disturbance, they would immediately retreat back into the cottage.
The bandits still remember Xiao Liu's ghost-like sword skills. The flash of the sword flashed and the head fell to the ground. This was the first time they had seen such terrifying skills after robbing homes for so long.
Especially when I heard from the surviving brothers that it was that man who killed more than forty of their brothers alone, which can be said to be extremely cruel.
It can be said that if Mr. Xie hadn't found this dangerous place, they would all have died in that person's hands.
It was precisely because of the fear of Xiaoliu that although the bandits were chatting and joking, they still did not forget to be cautious about the surrounding situation.
While laughing, several bandits glanced around habitually to prevent Xiao Liu from making a sudden attack. After all, they had all seen Xiao Liu's Qing Gong.
In the past, they found nothing in their scans, but this time they were stunned. They saw two figures walking out of the dense forest in the distance and walking towards their cottage.
After the bandits were stunned, they quickly called to their companions to be on guard. All the bandits quickly picked up the guy and were on guard, and one of them ran quickly towards the village.
"Your Majesty, no good, someone is coming from outside the stronghold!"
"What!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the bandit boss quickly stood up, picked up his mace, greeted the bandits and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
However, when he arrived at the gate of the village and looked at the situation below, the bandit boss was stunned, because the people who came were not Xiaoliu nor a member of the government, but a beautiful woman and a little old man.
"What's going on?" The bandit boss asked doubtfully to the bandit watching the door.
However, the bandit guarding the gate also looked confused. What is going on?
"Your Majesty, we don't know, either?" the bandit guarding the gate replied weakly.
Seeing that his subordinates were not sure, the bandit boss shouted directly below:
"Hey! What are you two down there doing? Do you know this is my territory?"
Yang's father, who was setting up the stage below, heard the rough voice of the bandit boss. His whole body was shaken, his hands and feet were shaking, and he instinctively wanted to run away.
But when he thought that the contract was in Yang Huilan's hands, if he escaped, there would be no place to take his three taels of silver, which was his hard-earned money for the whole year!
Father Yang sighed and shook his head. He stopped trying to escape.
Yang's father didn't understand. Yang Huilan had taken the wrong kind of medicine. How could anyone come to the bandits to compete in martial arts to recruit a bride? Wasn't he sending her into the tiger's mouth?
But Yang Huilan didn't care what Yang's father thought. When she heard the bandit boss shouting, she turned around alone and hugged her fists towards the bandit boss and said:
"My dear, Yang Huilan, passed by Guibao Land and heard that there are many heroes in this mountain. Therefore, I set up a ring to compete in martial arts to recruit brides in order to find a good match."
Hearing Yang Huilan's words, the bandits were stunned, but just a moment later, all the bandits laughed. It was really strange that there were people in this world who wanted to compete with bandits to find a bride.
Not only the bandits found it strange, but also Lao Xing in the dense forest found it ridiculous. He looked at Xiao Liu beside him and asked:
"Liu, is this method of yours really possible? Why do I think it's so unreliable? Where in the world would anyone ask a bandit for a blind date? I'm afraid the bandit won't believe it."
Listening to Lao Xing's doubts, Xiao Liu smiled and comforted:
"Don't worry, master. It doesn't matter whether the bandits believe it or not. What matters is whether they can resist this temptation. Now that Yang Huilan's sweet and delicious tender meat has been thrown away, it depends on how hungry these people are. The hungry wolf that has been hungry for a long time has not been able to take the bait?"
"And master, even if our plan fails and the bandits refuse to come out, we won't lose anything. On the contrary, if we succeed, then we can wipe out this group of bandits in one fell swoop."
Xiao Liu said firmly. Listening to Xiao Liu's words, Lao Xing also nodded. Indeed, if you succeed, you will make a profit, and if you don't, you will not suffer a loss.
As for Yang Huilan's safety, Lao Xing was not worried at all. Although he did not see the decisive battle between Xiaoliu and Yang Huilan, he had fought with both sides. In Lao Xing's words, the bandits on the other side were Even if they go together, they are no match for Yang Huilan.
In fact, if the bandits hadn't been hiding in the stronghold and refused to come out, Xiaoliu would have been able to kill them all by himself just because of Xiao Liu's strength.
"Master, you were not discovered by the bandits yesterday, right?" Xiao Liu asked another question that he was more concerned about.
Yesterday when he was interrogating the prisoners, his master was sent to Heifengling by Lou Zhixian to supervise the bandits on his behalf, in case someone really came to rescue the bandits while Xiao Liu was away.
Therefore, when Mrs. Qian made a big fuss at Tongfu Inn yesterday, Lao Xing never showed up.
When Lao Xing heard this, he quickly shook his head. "No, because I was worried about a sneak attack by killers yesterday, I asked them to hide, and this group of bandits never came out."
"Yes." Xiao Liu nodded when he heard this, and then he said to the master:
"Well, good master, go back now and ask them to move back five miles. In addition, no one of you can get close to this place without my notice, lest you be discovered by bandits."
"No problem, but you are the only ones here..." Lao Xing asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Master, you have seen the skills of Yang Huilan and I. These bandits are no match for us." Xiao Liu comforted us.
"Yeah." Lao Xing nodded when he heard this, and then he quietly stepped back.
