Chapter 1741 Heads to the north, paying homage to the dead
Mashan Cave Tiannan Road, next to the Chaotian River, is a dense forest with towering trees and flat terrain. About fifty kilometers further on, you will officially enter the boundary of Mashan Cave Heaven.
This place is not too inaccessible, because we are about to arrive at Mashan City, so there are still occasional caravans and vehicles coming and going.
The vast Cave Heaven Paradise is actually full of unknown dangers everywhere, which are roughly divided into three main points: there are ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, bandits wandering around, and those wandering but powerful casual cultivators.
The various cities in Dongtian Paradise are considered safe places, but other than that, most places are uninhabited, so various robberies often occur. In better conditions, people rob money and goods without killing people. Of course, there are also
Killing people and stealing goods, leaving no one alive.
The top ten bandits are the bandits that almost make all the major sects talk about in Dongtian Paradise. They run around in groups of dozens or hundreds of people. Whenever they encounter the teams of trading companies, or members of various sects and families, they
The caravans, as long as they have nothing to do with themselves, will be swept away without leaving a trace.
Therefore, whenever a caravan leaves the city, it is almost always fully armed. The capable teams arm themselves, while the weak ones hire people to guard against various dangers.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Mashan City, the caravans that appeared basically looked relaxed and relaxed their vigilance. Mashan City was a rare big city in the Cave Heaven Paradise, and Masan had two major factions, Qingyun and Qingshan, in charge, so many years ago
, Mashan Cave Heaven announced to the world that looting is prohibited within a hundred miles of Mashan Cave Heaven, otherwise Qingshan, Qingyun and the City Lord's Mansion will attack with all their strength.
Because in this way, more caravans and trading firms can come and go, which can ensure the prosperity of Mashan Cave. This is very beneficial to the three families, and is naturally what all the major families in Mashan City want to see.
Therefore, for many years, murders and conflicts have occasionally occurred within a hundred miles of Mashan Cave, but robberies are basically rare, because almost no one is willing to challenge the prestige of these three families at the same time, thus allowing themselves to be beaten by Qingshan, Qingyun and
The city lord's palace issued a kill order together.
However, nothing in this world is certain.
Deep in the dense forest, there was a caravan heading towards the Mashan Cave Sky. There were about forty or fifty people in the team, driving seven or eight cars loaded with goods. The speed of the caravan was not too fast at this time, because it seemed that
We are about to enter Mashan Cave, so there is nothing to be anxious about.
"Rest on the spot for about half an hour, and then set off again to return to Mashan City in one go..." In the first car, the leader of the caravan looked at the somewhat familiar landscape, stood up and shouted loudly towards the back.
But suddenly, more than twenty figures jumped down from the tops of several towering trees, and these figures landed directly on the caravan's vehicles without any warning.
Immediately, everyone in the caravan looked around in confusion, looking at the people who jumped off in confusion. They seemed completely unaware of why someone would come to rob the goods when they were about to enter Mashan.
In the forest, a bearded man, all wrapped in black clothes, walked out. He raised the sword in his hand and said slowly: "Leave one alive and kill the rest...the heads are facing forward."
North, pay homage to our fallen brothers.”
"kill!"
In an instant, after receiving the order, the figures leaping from the top of the tree raised their hands and drew their knives and began to kill people. Their style was extremely powerful and agile. There was no communication or shouting during the whole process. Some just raised their knives and then inserted them.
The "poof" sound of the target's body.
"Who are you? This is the area of Mashan Cave. We are the convoy of Xiangjia from Mashan City..." the leader of the convoy shouted in a hurry.
The bearded man stood not far away, quietly watching the killing in front of him without making a sound.
When the people in Xiangjia's motorcade saw this, their hearts trembled. He was not stupid. He vaguely realized that even after he warned him aloud, the other party continued to kill people, which was obviously selective.
The target was their Mashan City Xiang family’s motorcade.
An hour and a half passed, and blood flowed all over the forest. Xiangjia's convoy was truly destroyed, and only one person was left alive. All fifty-six people were beheaded, and then their heads rushed north, in the direction of Mashan City.
.
The leader of the motorcade gulped and vomited to his family, then fell to the ground in a daze.
The bearded man walked up to him, stared into his eyes and said: "I'm leaving you here so that you can go back and tell your family that Xiang's name is Xiang Que. If he doesn't leave Mashan City for a day, we will kill him. Your Xiang's
The convoy cannot even think of appearing outside Mashan Cave for one day. If we show up once, none of our people or goods will be left behind..."
After Luo Shi finished talking nonsense, he suddenly raised his sword and slashed at the opponent's limbs: "Tell Xiang Que that the murderer is Gale Bandit!"
A few hours later, Xiang Mingtang, Xiang Mingyuan and people from the Mashan City Defense Team arrived at the scene of the incident. They looked at the fifty-six heads neatly stacked on the ground and the corpses scattered everywhere.
The people at home and city defense were stunned in disbelief.
It must have been at least several decades. Mashan City is a hundred miles away, but there has never been such a tragedy.
The leader of the caravan, who was left alive but had his limbs chopped off, looked at Xiang Mingtang and Xiang Mingyuan with blank eyes, and said in a dry voice: "It was the Gale Bandits who came to Xiang Que, they said,
If he doesn't leave Mashan City for a day, the Xiang family's motorcade will not even think of showing up in the Paradise of Cave Heaven..."
The news quickly spread back to the City Lord's Mansion and the Xiang family.
After Hu Qing heard this, he showed great indignation and anger, and immediately sent two teams of city defenses to start searching within a hundred miles outside Mashan Cave, and directly shouted out that it was the Gale Bandits who were here this time.
The looting outside Mashan City is undoubtedly a provocation to Qingshan, Qingyun and Mashan City's original ban. If they don't show up and give an explanation, then from now on the Storm Bandits will be severely punished whenever they appear in Mashan City.
This voice is definitely loud, but the effect is basically obvious. The top ten thieves have always been doing the business of killing people and stealing goods. If you allow them to lower their heads so easily and run over and surrender, then that's okay.
They are no longer called the top ten bandits of Dongtian Paradise.
However, let’s not talk about the effect of shouting out, but the attitude must be there.
On the other side, several people in charge of the Xiang family were sitting in the lobby, their faces solemn and serious.
The losses suffered by the Xiangjia convoy this time were not too great, but more than fifty people died, which was impossible to make up for.
Xiangtang rubbed his head with a gloomy face. Leaving aside the loss, the Gale Bandits were chasing his grandson Xiang Que. This was very disturbing, because since he jumped up at the Qingyun Ceremony, Xiang Tang
The family seems to have regarded him as the hope for the family's revival. If Xiang Que can grow up safely, no one can predict how far he can go in the future.
What can be predicted is that the Xiang family will definitely rise as the tide rises, and it is not impossible to become one of the largest families in Mashan Cave, because it is easy to enjoy the cool weather with the green mountains at its back.
Another thing is that the City Lord's Mansion has obviously shown goodwill to the Xiang family. This is a clear signal, which means that if you develop well, the City Lord will definitely give you full support.
Now Xiang Que is being targeted by the Gale Pirates. This is a crisis.
Xiang Jia doesn't care about the lost goods, but he is afraid that something will happen to Xiang Que.
"We need to inform the Qingshan Sect. Instead of asking Xiang Que to avenge the family's lost goods and dead people, we need to let him know what situation he is in now. The Gale Bandits are targeting him like this. He must be careful in the future..." Xiang Que
Tang said cautiously.
"Why did the Gale Bandit want to kill him?" someone from Xiang's family asked.
Xiang Mingtang said: "Xiang Que is on the cusp of the storm. He is so brilliant in Qingyun Mountain. Who knows how many people don't want him to grow up like this. If nothing else, the Qingyun Sect is definitely not willing. He is in Qingyun Mountain, and no one dares to do so.
I ran to the Qingshan Sect to kill him, but it’s hard to say what happened after I came out. Why wouldn’t the top ten bandits dare to do it?”
Xiang Mingyuan nodded and said: "This must be the truth. We all know that the key is how to ensure that nothing happens to Xiang Que."
"I will go to the City Lord's Mansion later to meet with City Lord Hu to discuss this matter. Last time he sent someone to bring a gift, which is clearly to support Xiang Que and make friends with the Xiang family. I believe
Hu Qing will not sit back and do nothing. I plan to ask the Xiang family to send out another caravan, and then unite with the people from the city lord's palace to see if they can lure the Gale Bandits over and catch them all." Xiang Tang said darkly.
Face said.
"It can be encircled and suppressed, but it is difficult to catch them all. There are several groups of gale bandits, and the ones in Mashan Cave this time are just one of them. Unless we take away all the blame, there will be endless troubles in the future." Xiang Mingtang and Xiang Mingyuan
, they all shook their heads and said.
Xiangtang said: "It depends on people. Let's give it a try first. Even if we can't defeat them all, we can still weaken their current strength..."
On the other side, in the city lord's mansion, Hu Qing also said to his subordinates with his hands behind his back and an unsightly look on his face: "It's just a pretense to ask the city defense to search. It's impossible to find the people of the Storm Bandits just like this. I don't want to go find them. You guys just do it?"
I want to check something, and that is to find out who has been in contact with the Gale Bandits recently, and who among the people who have been in contact have any problems or grudges with Xiang Que, and report them to me immediately after finding out."
The subordinates asked in confusion: "Are we going to continue to interfere in this matter?" Hu Qing said with a smile: "Not directly, but it can be used as a bargaining chip or a favor. If Xiang Que can escape from Tianchi safely,
Shan Dongtian has returned triumphantly, so I will send this news directly to him. I think he will be very happy. As for if he can't come out? Then it doesn't matter what happens to us..."
