A caravan of about ten people could be seen in the distance.
"Cough cough cough——"
There were bouts of coughing in the carriage.
"Mr. Yang, the medicine is ready."
The young man held a bowl of dark, steaming concoction in one hand, and opened the heavy windshield curtain with the other. Mr. Yang took the concoction in his mouth and blew it carefully. The concoction still burned his mouth, so Mr. Yang could only hold it.
Warm your stiff hands in the palm of your hand.
The wheel of the carriage was broken, so we had to stay here.
Yang Gong asked in a low voice: "Is there anything going on?"
The young man sat down and pulled a piece of felt to cover his legs.
He said: "I'm being targeted."
Yang Gong raised his eyebrows: "Humph, a bunch of thieves."
Although he is no longer as brave as he was in the past, Mr. Yang is also a ruthless man who has killed hundreds of gangsters with his own hands, and his words are as bloodthirsty as a ferocious wolf. According to their inquiries, the group of bandits nearby are nothing more than wearing a
A devil wearing human skin.
Ordinary bandits only seek wealth but not life. They can save their lives by handing over their property. They only target wealthy merchants. Ordinary people don't even look at them. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as "thieves have their own way."
But this litter staring at them was different.
They are not young, around 20 years old, but they act extremely cruelly and viciously. With the weapons in their hands and the large number of people, they kill the merchants who come and go, and few people can escape from their hands. Ordinary people will die if they encounter them. They are not only looking for money.
, even more enjoy the pleasure of killing and even [torture] killing, and finally throw the inhuman body into the mountain road...
Young people know this clearly because a local man escaped with his life. He escaped, but the wounds on his hands and feet were ulcerated and rotten. There was almost no intact human skin on his body. He died of hatred within a few days after returning.
.
Where do people dare to go near this road?
When the young man and Mr. Yang heard about this, they laughed again and again. They took a caravan of more than a dozen people to make a special trip. As a result, the wheels of the car broke down halfway and the caravan was forced to stop. It gets dark quickly in winter, so they thought about it for a while.
, and prepared to spend the night where he was.
The young man said: "We are targeting him, but it's hard to say whether he is willing to take the bait or not. These thieves are surprisingly cautious."
Mr. Yang raised his lips and mocked: "Humph, you're still young."
Obviously he doesn't take this kind of little thief lightly. If his strength is still there, he can kill this kind of unscrupulous little thief single-handedly. As for taking the bait or not, Yang Gong has not worried about it. This group of little thieves is sure
You will take the bait, sooner or later.
The concoction has cooled down a bit.
Long-term suffering is worse than short-term suffering. Yang Gong closed his eyes and breathed out, his facial features wrinkled up in pain: "Ji Shou, this is too painful."
The young man smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, good medicine tastes bitter."
Yang Gong tried to say a few words about how good his body was, but when he thought about the current situation, he had no choice but to give up - in the coldest days in the past, he could bare his arms and dance with a knife and a gun in the ice and snow without trembling, but now he can wear less than one thing.
Chills.
It was also very embarrassing to catch the cold.
Yang Gong wrapped himself tightly in his cloak to keep out the cold, looking disappointed.
Youth is a healthy time.
The "Yang Gong" mentioned by Kang Shi was naturally Yang Duwei.
The two were ordered to go out for "fishing".
To be precise, Kang Shi was ordered to go out for "fishing". Captain Yang was not willing to be taken care of as an old, weak woman and child, so he took the initiative to ask for help. The older he got, the more stubborn he became, and he did not want to owe any favors. Although no one said so, Captain Yang felt that
Not happy.
The two first focused on this group of bandits.
Because this group of bandits is so special.
Captain Yang's rich experience in suppressing bandits told him that the truly vicious bandits would change places and commit crimes on the run. It is almost impossible for them to be so cruel and squat in one place without moving. If so, there must be something fishy in them!
First of all, the bandits are also afraid of alerting the county government and send troops to suppress the bandits. How can the Caotai team go head-to-head with the righteous forces of the county government?
Secondly, even if they are really stubborn and not afraid of the county government sending troops to suppress the bandits, the bandits still have to consider the issue of income. If the common people with their backs to the sky and their faces facing the loess rely on God's reward for their livelihood, the bandits rely on the money bags of the merchants who come and go.
If one team comes and kills another, it is still so bloody and cruel. As time goes by, merchants would rather take the long way around and avoid this road. Saving their lives is the most important thing. If the merchants don't come, the people will be scared and stay away.
So, can I still have income?
The bandits refused to move even though they had no income...
What does this mean?
It means there is something fishy.
It shows that there is financial support behind this group of bandits!
The use of such cruel methods to allow a "lucky" escape was most likely intentional, forcing merchants and people to avoid this road. In addition, the bandits were around 20 years old, all young and strong, and the combination of various clues was very complex.
Food for thought.
in short--
It's a fat sheep!
Most likely it is still a fat sheep.
The sky was getting dark, and a strong smell of food wafted outside the car.
Li Li, who was disguised as a caravan guard, knocked on the wooden frame with his finger and raised the curtain after receiving permission: "Mr. Kang, Mr. Yang."
Kang Shi said: "Thank you very much."
This meal was very simple, but a few slightly burnt pancakes and a large bowl of thick rice porridge sprinkled with minced meat were already a rare delicacy. Lili sat outside the car and had a simple meal
After a while, even the cake foam on your fingers was not wasted.
Kang Shi bent down and walked out of the carriage, and said in passing: "Li Li, you go and accompany Mr. Yang, and I'll arrange the arrangements."
Outside the carriage, the dozen or so seemingly ordinary merchant guards were actually brave warriors under Captain Yang's command.
In the battle of Xiaocheng, all the subordinate officers in Yang Duwei's account were killed, and there were only forty or fifty soldiers left. They were also the best among the best. Basically, every one of them was a brave warrior, and their strength was not changed from the second level to the fourth level.
During this period, Captain Yang fought hard for Xiaocheng to the end. He was not greedy for life, not afraid of death, and did not even care about his family. The surviving soldiers were grateful and willing to continue to follow.
However, Captain Yang's strength was gone, so he gave these people to Shen Tang for "temporary control". It was said to be "temporary control", but in fact it was no different from leaving it to her. Helping bring in new people, it was considered a place to stay, no
As for being mixed up to the point of being "as tired as a lost dog".
As for Li Li——
Shen Tang asked him to come out to "earn military merit".
See if these "military merits" can be exchanged for military luck.
Li Li's shortcomings are too obvious. If you want to catch up, you need to work harder. Although Captain Yang doesn't understand Shen Tang's plan, he can see that Shen Tang wants to cultivate Li Li. His own strength is useless, but from now on
Ling has cultivated to the eleventh level, and his experience is not something ordinary people can have. With his guidance, Lili can avoid many detours.
Speaking of "Li Li"——
This name does sound familiar.
Captain Yang raised his eyes and secretly looked at Li Li, who was sitting at the door of the carriage with a straight posture and a look of preparation.
Even though he seemed to have been hanging out with Shen Tang for a few months, he spent most of the time alone to recover from his injuries and adjust his mentality. It was the first time he really saw Li Li and had close contact with him - it would be better if he didn't look at it, but if he took a closer look,
, the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes.
"Your name is Lili?"
Li Li replied: "Back to Yang Gong, yes."
Captain Yang: "The Lili of Shan Hai Jing?"
Lili nodded.
Captain Yang's expression became a little more subtle.
Li Li also heard some other meanings.
"Mr. Yang knows about me?"
Captain Yang only said: "I am close friends with the former county governor, and he is also his confidant. However, the city of Xin State was destroyed, Sibao County fell, and his family moved to other places. He has a pretty sister in his family..."
Li Li was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Captain Yang continued: "He once mentioned you in front of me...although it was not a nice word..."
Cursing Lili over and over again, the toad wants to eat swan meat. If he is a middle-to-high-level brave warrior, that's fine. A poor ordinary commoner dares to dream of a daughter of aristocratic family? The key is that his own sister has also been fooled by lard. They had the same heart, and accepted the death penalty. The former county governor often complained to Captain Yang in private. He made many mistakes, and it was Li Li's fault!
Just have fun, what's the point? As a young widow who lives at home and has the support of her brother, she can raise a few noodle capitals. As long as she likes them, they can buy them for her in any size. But falling in love with mianshou, It’s really a disgrace to our family!
Captain Yang didn't understand either.
He had never seen Li Li, and he thought that this person would be earth-shatteringly handsome, or that there might be something different about him that would attract the "poisonous spider" whose eyes are higher than his head. The propaganda is so outrageous.
Lili: "..."
Captain Yang said: "Work hard."
Li Li looked at Captain Yang in confusion.
Captain Yang said quietly: "If you also have daughters and sisters, you will know. Do you want her to go down for a man, or do you want that man to go up for her?"
If Fan Lili had some martial spirit back then, even if he was a low-level martial artist, with the persistence and stubbornness of the "Poisonous Spider", he and the "Poisonous Spider" might become one. However, it is useless to say this now. After all, things have passed After so many years, Li Li may have almost forgotten about it. Captain Yang mentioned this simply because there was no acquaintance around him to let him talk about it.
So boring.
It also means to inspire strength.
After all, knowing shame leads to courage.
Captain Yang didn't expect Li Li to answer him. He was about to close his eyes and take a nap when he heard the big man say in a very soft but unexpectedly firm voice: "I hope Madam will go up."
Captain Yang opened his eyes and looked at him: "Going up?"
Lili said: "I will catch up."
Captain Yang choked.
He muttered: "He is quite an infatuated person."
He always had an indescribable hunch that the former county magistrate would probably be worried because of Li Li.
The moon is at the zenith.
The caravan guards who were forced to stop on the mountain road were also tired. Except for those on night watch, others found a place to rest in the lee of the truck. The bonfire was burning quietly in the night wind, and from time to time, one or two people could be heard. Sonic blast.
Li Li asked Kang Shi to go to the carriage to rest.
Leave the night watch to him.
Kang Shi was about to get up, but his movements suddenly froze, and then returned to normal in the next moment. If Lili hadn't been so close, he might not have been able to detect it. He asked, "Mr. Kang, is someone coming?"
Although Li Li's physical fitness is good and he is capable of defeating third-class hairpins before he has developed martial arts, he is an ordinary person after all. His five senses do not have enough martial arts blessings, and his range of perception is far inferior to that of brave warriors or literary scholars. Kang Shi secretly pointed out nodded.
He patted Li Li on the shoulder: "Be careful."
Lili said: "Wei."
Rustling, rustling.
This mountain road has many potholes and is difficult to navigate, and it is located in a depression halfway up the mountain. There are dense forests and weeds on both sides, and the terrain is rugged, making it easy to hide. Li Li listened carefully and could only hear the movement of grass and leaves in the night wind.
The others seemed to be sleeping, but in fact they were secretly vigilant. Lili nervously grasped the handle of the broadsword at his waist.
How will the thief appear? Kill him directly, or secretly attack with cold arrows? Which direction will he come out from?
Veins appeared on the back of Lili's right hand holding the handle of the knife, and his Adam's apple rose and fell as he swallowed saliva.
His force was not weak, but he didn't actually kill many people. Just as his chest heartbeat gradually accelerated, an extremely slight buzzing sound came into his ears. It was the sound of a bow string vibrating, and it was accompanied by a strong coldness that shot from his vest to his chest.
Rushing straight into his brain, he drew out his sword with a swipe, followed his body's instinct and intuition, and chopped off the feathered arrow with a snap.
Li Li shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"
Without him shouting, the soldiers disguised as caravan guards also jumped up. Not long after, dozens of figures came out of the dark jungle and grass. Without saying a word or saying "I planted this tree, I drove this road."
Vulgar lines, just do it!
They look organized and disciplined, with clear division of labor, working in groups of three to five, and tacit cooperation. They don't look like bandits at all!
Li Li shouted: "You've come just in time!"
Having said that——
He aimed the knife at the person who came and chopped off his pocket.
The person who came here was not a vegetarian, and his reaction was not slow, and there were other companions on the side to support him. Lili was unable to cut the person in half with one knife. He could only regretfully hold back some of his strength, and kicked him in an attempt to sneak attack.
The little thief.
The strength of this kick was not restrained at all.
I heard another person scream in pain and was kicked out.
"kill--"
"kill--"
Killing cries rang out on the quiet and remote mountain road.
Soon blood was seen.
Relying on the large number of people, this group of thieves targeted the carriage that was obviously Big Fish, and separated six or seven people to attack it. If they had clairvoyance, they could see inside the carriage. Captain Yang closed his eyes and listened to the carriage.
Despite the commotion outside, Kang Shi also looked calm.
How can this be the calmness that a caravan on the verge of death should have?
Kang Shi said: "Mr. Yang is very good at training his troops."
Those outside the carriage were all brought out by Captain Yang.
None of them used martial energy, and deliberately kept their hands to show off. With just their ordinary flesh and blood bodies and moves, they were able to deal with a few besieged thieves. You must know that there is a big gap between low-level martial arts warriors and ordinary people.
But not to an absurdly large extent.
If you are not careful, you may be beaten to death.
Captain Yang did not answer.
There was a clang sound.
I don't know whose knife struck the wooden frame of the carriage heavily.
Looking at the knife that penetrated the carriage, Kang Shi raised his eyebrows.
