The children's screams were loud and loud, like thunder in the dead silence of the camp.
"not good!"
Huang An woke up suddenly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned over and already had a spear in his hand.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, the surroundings were still dark, but there was a lot of noise and the sound of swordsmen coming from all directions.
What time is it now?
Before Huang An could react, suddenly, dense yellow dots appeared in his sight.
That's a torch!
Surrounded by people?
Then there were bursts of joyful shouts and laughter.
Huang An was shocked. He looked up, down, left and right, and saw torches swaying everywhere.
Surrounded by people!
This is so bizarre.
Judging from the color of the sky, it is estimated that it is only four or five o'clock in the morning, and the surroundings are dark. How can there be thieves at this time?
Did they come with torches?
What about the night guard?
The surroundings were already chaotic and noisy. The sounds of panic and the cries of children were mixed together, making people feel more and more irritable and heavy.
The escort members beside him were also shouting for help.
Huang An looked solemn, climbed up quickly, ran to the old horse's side in a few steps, and put the saddle on it first.
He pulled the reins, leaned against the big tree, and looked around carefully. Only then did he realize that there were torches all over the place.
There is no empty space.
There must be many thieves!
When did they come?
Why is there no movement at all?
Huang An secretly thought it was bad and was full of doubts.
It was such a dark sky, how did these thieves come in the dark?
After all, there were more than a dozen members of the night guard, distributed around the camp, even on the big trees.
What method did they use to surround the entire camp?
Why didn't I hear any movement?
Sudden.
"Who are you? I am Yumao of Xialin Village!"
A thunderous roar sounded beside him, it was Yu Mao.
"Which hero is robbed? I am Yumao of Xialin Village!"
He shouted three times in a row, and the entire camp was filled with his voice. The originally chaotic situation became much quieter in a short period of time.
Yu Mao straightened his chest, stood on a rock and shouted with a sledgehammer in his hand.
The two of them were so close together that Huang An could even clearly see the saliva that had not yet been wiped off the corner of Yu Mao's mouth.
Huang An was about to turn around and look for a way out, when suddenly his eyes flickered inadvertently and his heart moved.
Why is Yu Mao's angry and frightened expression so fake?
Could it be that what I guessed before was correct?
Huang An looked towards the torch pile and saw a flurry of dancing on a torch pile on the mountain, as if someone was coming out.
"As Yu Er is in charge, I am going back to Longshan Jiang You!"
The voice came from directly in front, and it was full of energy.
"I am Lu Cong!"
There was also a roar from behind.
"Huo Jin!"
The sound from the top of the mountain was particularly penetrating in this pitch-black night.
Three voices came from different directions in a row, and there was a gasp of air all around.
There are enemies in front and behind, and there are enemies on the hillside. There is only one mountain road below, and there is nowhere to escape. What should I do?
"The Three Heroes of Huilongshan? This, this..."
"Three Bronze Skin Realm adults, what should we do?"
"It's over, it's over! This time the hero of Longshan killed Yingye, he is a felon wanted by the court!"
"I heard that they returned to Longzhai with two thousand heroes. What should we do?"
...
The exclamations around him made Huang An's face darken. Three copperskin realm masters?
It turned out to be these three!
Looking at the number of torches, they probably exceed five or six hundred.
With so many people, can they still be considered bandits?
Is this probably a big army?
Even the guards in Xialin Village had fear in their eyes.
Huilong Mountain is located in the mountains to the north of Youzhou City and Fen County. It is basically out of the control of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty people live in it, and there are also a large number of Qiang tribes and Huns villages.
More importantly, in this uncontrolled area, the folk customs are fierce. When you mount a horse, you are a bandit, and when you dismount, you are a mountaineer.
Cutting paths along the road is their way of survival. Pedestrians often disappear on this road, which is the work of these people.
This is an encounter with a professional bandit!
Huang An's face was solemn. He touched the old horse's neck, and his heart sank to the bottom.
If nothing can be done and there is no chance of survival, he will climb a big tree while no one is paying attention, and then return directly to the garbage dump of all realms.
Although he couldn't bear to leave Lao Ma, for the sake of his own life, Huang An had no choice but to give up.
Anyway, animal power is very precious. In a short period of time, Huang An is not worried about the old horse being killed for meat.
With the chance of survival, Huang An was temporarily relieved.
He set his sights on Yu Mao.
Huang An didn't believe that everyone in Xialin Village would let them be surrounded by bandits so easily.
"Since we are returning to the three masters of Longshan, I, Yu Mao, have nothing to say. Please come down the line today, and I, Yu Mao, will take over alone!"
Yu Mao's voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the camp.
His arrogance made many people breathe a sigh of relief, especially those traveling with their families, who wished they could give Yu Mao a few kisses on the spot.
"Okay! Master Yu must also know the rules for my return to Longshan! My three brothers will give you face and leave all the horses, carts, parcels and luggage today. You can leave safely!"
In the distance, from the direction of the torch, a powerful voice came, it should be Jiang You.
Hearing that all the goods, horses, and even packages had to be left behind, the breathing around him suddenly became much louder.
How can this be tolerated?
Especially the stewards and clerks of the two caravans, their faces darkened and they were extremely panicked for a moment.
They are just doing trade, how can they tolerate such huge losses?
Didn’t you say that the three heads of Huilongshan never acted together?
Why did they encounter it today?
Jiang You's request was too much, Yu Mao's face darkened, and he flatly refused.
"No, absolutely not! My reputation in Xialin Village cannot be ruined in the hands of me, Yu Mao! If you want to rob money, you must first ask me about the big hammer in Yu's hand!"
Yu Mao was furious and yelled.
Huang An could hear faint sobbing coming from the crowd, as well as the noise of horses moving around.

Being snatched away from their luggage was even more uncomfortable than having their lives taken away from them.
However, seeing the big hammer wielded by Yu Mao, Huang An's heart still moved, and he became more and more sure of his previous guess.
No wonder the business reputation of Xialin Village is better now. It turns out that these good guys who returned to Longshan did not harm anyone after meeting Yu Mao from Xialin Village!
"If you don't obey our brothers today, you, more than 130 people, will have to answer here! You have to think about it, Yu Mao!"
Jiang You's voice suddenly turned cold.
I don’t know if they have rehearsed it well, but while everyone was still making a difficult decision, the roars of bandits came from all over the hillside.
"Leave your money and save your life!"
...
"Leave your money and save your life!"
Three sounds in a row, each one louder than the other.
The roar was loud, the horses were restless, the cattle and donkeys struggled endlessly, and almost fled in panic.
The people who were surrounded were trembling with fear at the moment, and the scene became silent in a very short time.
About four or five breaths passed.
"Master Yu, promise them!"
"Second Master, agree!"
One after another, people began to persuade me, mostly people with families.
"No, absolutely not. If I lose this batch of goods, I won't be able to survive if I go back!"
"Yeah, I can't explain it this time! How can the shopkeeper listen to me?"
Some caravan stewards and some men pulling carriages walked up to Yu Mao with mournful and pleading expressions on their faces, pleading hard.
"Please, Mr. Yu, please intercede and let us go. We can't lose this guy."
The situation was chaotic, with shouts for mercy, sobs and moans.
The two caravan stewards both looked like they were crying bitterly. They pulled on Yu Mao's sleeves and kept pleading in pain.
Huang An watched with cold eyes, saying nothing, but gently stroking the old horse's neck with his big hand.
It's a pity that Lao Ma can't be included in the garbage dump of all realms, otherwise Huang An wouldn't have to be so reluctant to part with him.
He had already had a premonition that he might not be able to save this old horse today.
Yu Mao's face turned ugly. Seeing more and more people begging for mercy, he waved his hands violently and drove away the two shopkeepers who kept begging him.
The two shopkeepers staggered, unsteady on their feet, and fell to the ground.
Seeing Yu Mao's ugly face, and then hearing the strange screams of the thieves and the tsunami around him, he suddenly felt sad and beat his chest and cried.
The two only cursed themselves for being unlucky when they met the three masters of Huilongshan and went out together.
The two people's wails made the people around them feel sad and sobbing uncontrollably.
Huang An's eyes adapted to the darkness, and he could see more clearly now.
The women and girls in the crowd had been driven away by their own men or relatives to a group of people away from the carriages, goods, and livestock.
Obviously, these people are also afraid of thieves harming their own women.
Suddenly.
"Yu Er is in charge of the house. My three brothers can afford to wait, but the brothers under me can't afford to wait. If you didn't open your mouth and leave all your property and animals to my brothers to buy wine, no one here would be able to survive today.
!”
"Do you want to try my three brothers' spears to see if they are sharp or not?"
Jiang You's laughter spread throughout Luoyang Slope.
Before Yu Mao could make a decision, the sound of swords and guns coming out of his body suddenly came from around him.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
...
The uniform bandits made everyone feel like they were surrounded by thousands of troops.
A gust of cold wind blew past, and everyone in the circle was soaked from the back.
It turned out that money was really not as important as lives, and they actually felt the murderous aura that even the cold wind could not dissipate.
Some people were so frightened that their legs became weak and they knelt on the ground shaking uncontrollably.
More people looked panicked. They didn't care about money at this moment. Their lives were at stake.
Huang An couldn't help but swallow his throat, pulled the reins, and comforted the old horse.
Where are these bandits? Do bandits have such neat discipline?
I'm afraid the general army doesn't have it.
Seeing that Yu Mao was still struggling and seemed to want to lead them to resist the bandits, everyone suddenly became anxious and begged:
"Master Yu, just agree to them. The lives of more than a hundred of us are much more useful than those dead beasts!"
"Second Master, just agree to it!"
Two old men with sparse and messy hair emerged from the crowd. They were crying and about to kneel on the ground to plead for mercy.
Yu Mao looked ugly, jumped off the stone, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to support the two old men, preventing them from kneeling.
The muscles and bones on his forehead were bulging, and there were large beads of sweat. His teeth were clenched, and a pair of tiger eyes were full of tangles at the moment.
Looking around, except for the two shopkeepers and caravan members, everyone's faces were full of requests.
"Why!"
Yu Mao sighed suddenly and said bitterly:
"It's just a pity that my two brothers are not here, otherwise the three men of Longshan would never come back this time!"
Seeing that Yu Mao was still struggling, his behavior seemed to be as he had guessed.
Huang An rolled his eyes, his heart moved, and he immediately decided to help him and confirm whether he had guessed wrong.
He hid his body behind a tree, then shouted loudly at the top of his lungs:
"Second Master Yu, just agree to it. We are unlucky today and I cannot blame you, Second Master! We all want to live!"
I originally planned to say something but was stunned when I heard this.
