"Brother, what's going on?" Sun Bao suddenly asked in confusion when he saw his eldest brother's face looked so ugly.
Sun Hu stared at the convoy at the entrance of the canyon and cursed with an ugly face: "The convoy has separated!"
"What?" Sun Bao was stunned and couldn't help but look up at the mouth of the canyon. It was exactly what his elder brother said. The convoy was divided into two parts.
In the first part, several Jianzong disciples escorted more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods to go ahead, while the carriage Jia Tianpeng and his family were riding in stayed there and watched. It seemed that someone in the convoy noticed something was wrong.
"Brother, have they discovered us?" Sun Bao cursed angrily.
Sun Hu shook his head: "Not necessarily. If they find the group, they will definitely take a detour. They won't dare to run here knowing that we are ambushing them!"
"Then why did they do this?" Sun Bao was puzzled.
"These people should be exploring the road!" Sun Hu stared at the slowly approaching carriage below, touched his bare brain, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, these guys can't have smelled something.
Bar!"
"Brother, what should I do? Just watch these people run away. Just do it!" Sun Bao said urgently.
Sun Hu quickly held his shoulders and stopped him: "No hurry, wait a moment!"
"Brother, all of Jia Tianpeng's belongings must be here. If we let them run away, all our efforts will be wasted!" Sun Bao's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red. For greedy bandits like them, it was a pile of gold before their eyes.
It would be strange not to be jealous if the silver treasure ran away.
Sun Hu hesitated for a while and said irritably: "Why are you so anxious? Jia Tianpeng's carriage is still at the entrance of the canyon. Once they know that there is an ambush here, they will definitely run away. How will we explain to our employer then?"
"Brother, haven't you seen that there are nearly ten carriages here, all of which are filled with real money! Why are you hesitating? Jia Tianpeng has run away, and he must be still in Qingzhou these days. We have plenty of opportunities to seize it! But
If you leave these gold and silver treasures alone, the losses will be huge!" Sun Bao stared greedily at the slowly moving convoy below, spinning around anxiously.
Sun Hu shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!"
The convoy splitting into two parts was actually Lu Chen's deliberate arrangement. He had a premonition that bandits were ambushing Iron Sword Canyon, so to be on the safe side, he led thirty Jianzong disciples to take the goods and wait until they confirmed that it was safe.
Let Murong Ziyun bring Jia Tianpeng and his family over. If things change, Murong Ziyun will lead Jia Tianpeng and his family to retreat quickly.
The sudden change made Sun Hu and Sun Bao, who had been ambush for a long time, dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to take action in advance or wait for Jia Tianpeng's family to come over. Therefore, at this critical juncture, the two brothers had differences in their ideas.
The younger brother Sun Bao wants to do it directly, but Sun Hu has to wait because he agreed to his employer to capture Jia Tianpeng's family alive. But the younger brother Sun Bao has a bad temper, is impatient, and is also very greedy for money. How can he let these gold and silver go?
The treasure slipped away from under my eyes.
"No, I must kill them!" Sun Bao said with eyes wide open. For bandits like them, robbing real money and silver is the way to go, and the benefits promised by others are just lies.
cloud.
Sun Hu quickly tried to dissuade him: "Leopard, don't mess around!"
"Brother, aren't you excited about so much gold and silver treasure?" Sun Bao retorted, turned to the bandits behind him and shouted: "Brothers, do it for me!"
Following Sun Bao's order, all the bandits who were ambushing behind stood up, holding rocks in their hands and smashing them down crazily. Some archers opened their bows and nocked arrows, shooting randomly at the carriage below.
Lu Chen led the way, followed by thirty swordsmen escorting more than a dozen carriages into the canyon. Before entering the canyon, he reminded these brothers to say hello and be careful that there were bandits nearby. Thirty swordsmen
The disciples of the sect heard Lu Chen's reminder and were very vigilant along the way.
"This canyon is really steep, as if it were cut with a knife. No wonder it is called Tiedao Gorge." Lu Chen looked up at the two sides of the canyon, which looked like two naturally formed high walls, and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Iron Knife Canyon is relatively narrow and can accommodate four horses running abreast. The total length is nearly five kilometers. Even though it has snowed in the past few days, the temperature inside is still quite warm and there is no snow at all. The wheels rolling on the ground are covered with debris.
The stone ground creaked and sounded extremely quiet.
"Huh, these people are really calm and angry!" Lu Chen murmured to himself as he walked, but his eyes kept scanning the mountainside. He seemed to be carefree, but in fact he was very wary of the movements around him.
Suddenly, a killing sound rang out in the silent canyon, shaking the sky and the earth. A large number of figures emerged from the mountainside, holding huge rocks and smashing them down from the sky. They were also mixed with raindrops of bows and arrows. The battle was extremely terrifying.
"It's bandits, be careful!" Lu Chen had already been on guard, so when these bandits appeared, he didn't look too panicked.
As if they had received a unified order, the Sword Sect disciples quickly got off their horses and got under the carriage like lightning. Even if the boulders and arrows fell, they could not hurt them at all.
"Bang", "bang", "bang"... accompanied by a large number of rocks falling, hitting the carriage with a loud bang, gravel and arrows scattered all over the ground, causing a huge commotion in the canyon.
Immediately after the first wave of ambush, Sun Bao, the bandit leader, led a group of bandits with weapons in hand and swarmed from the other side of the canyon with murderous looks, as if they were going to eat Lu Chen and the others alive.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!" Sun Bao roared.
His eldest brother stood halfway up the mountain, watching this scene with a terribly ugly look on his face. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "This idiot!"
When dozens of bandits rushed in, Lu Chen suddenly showed a cold smile on his face: "There is indeed an ambush. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Brothers, come on!"
He himself instantly drew out the two swords he always carried, jumped up on the saddle, and rushed into the group of bandits like a tiger into a herd of sheep, killing everyone in all directions.
With a black heavy sword in his left hand and a soft silver sword in his right hand, he rushed into the group of bandits. The two sword lights rolled up quickly like a whirlwind. Wherever they went, people turned on their backs and the bandits fell in pieces like wheat.
The disciples of the Sword Sect who had hid under the carriage in advance saw the bandits rushing towards them. They quickly got out of the carriage, drew their swords and rushed forward.
Although these Sword Sect disciples are not elites,
Disciples, but at least all of them possess the fifth level of acquired strength. The sect has been training them by training the army. There is no pressure to deal with a group of rabble.
The men and horses on both sides were on the verge of breaking out. The bandits thought that they had been ambushed before and their strength must have been severely damaged. However, they never expected that when the huge rocks and bows and arrows fell, they did not hurt a single hair of the Sword Sect disciples.
Sun Bao was too eager for quick success, but he didn't know that Lu Chen had already guessed that bandits were ambushing Tiedao Gorge before setting off, so he took precautions in advance.
When the Sword Sect disciples rushed into the group of bandits, it was undoubtedly a pack of wolves charging into the herd of sheep. The strength of the two sides was greatly different, and the arrogance of the bandits was soon suppressed.
Most of these bandits are ordinary people who have fallen into disgrace and become bandits for a living. How can they compare with these well-trained disciples of the Sword Sect?
"A group of bandits dare to be so rampant and don't know their own strength!" Lu Chen held two swords in his hand, and with a flicker of his figure, he took away several lives.
The soft sword is elegant and flexible, while the heavy sword is powerful and heavy. It is extremely terrifying for two completely different sword intentions to be displayed in the hands of the same person.
Before some bandits could see the figures clearly, their necks were wiped open by the misty sword light, and then their eyes became blurred and they fell limply, leaving eye-catching pools of blood on the gray ground of the canyon.
Sun Bao looked at the brothers who continued to fall around him and was suddenly confused. What was going on? Many of these people had been ambushed by them before. Why were there so many people?
Peng, a figure suddenly came from in front of him like a cannonball, and hit another bandit hard. The sound of cracking bones could be clearly heard.
Sun Bao was startled and looked back, only to see a young man in a light blue robe holding two swords, standing among the dead bodies on the ground looking at him, his eyes as cold as swords.
"Who sent you here!" Lu Chen said coldly.
Sun Bao held a wide battle ax and roared: "Who are you!"
"Disciple of the Sword Sect, Lu Chen!"
"So you are Lu Chen. It seems that I underestimated you before!" Sun Bao licked the corner of his mouth and sneered.
"Tell me, who ordered you to ambush here!" Lu Chen pointed his heavy sword diagonally at the ground, carrying his soft sword behind his back, and walked slowly. Drops of blood trickled down the blade, dripping, dripping, on the ground.
A line falls on it.
Sun Bao sneered and said: "No one instigated us. Besides, even if someone instigated us to ambush you, you can't do anything about it! In this three-acre land, I am the emperor of the country. Since you people are here today, no one can do it."
Don’t even think about getting out alive!”
"Very good, very arrogant. I hope you can be as strong-willed later!" Lu Chen said expressionlessly.
"Huh, it's just you?" Sun Bao snorted disdainfully. He had been in the Iron Knife Canyon for more than ten years, but he had never seen such an arrogant person. Even if there were, he would have become the wronged soul of this canyon.
"You don't believe it, do you?" Lu Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, moved his figure, and was in front of the other party in an instant.
The black heavy sword stabs the opponent quickly like a phantom!
