A group of bandits appeared behind them.
The entire convoy was sandwiched between the bandits.
The guards couldn’t retreat even if they wanted to!
“This... other than rushing out, there seems to be no other way?”
“Then you can charge! With so many mountain bandits blocking the way, it’s almost impossible to rush out.”
Facing the vicious mountain bandits, at this moment, most of the guards were afraid.
comment
The promise that the captain had made previously was completely forgotten.
“Is this a mountain bandit? So powerful!”
“They want me to bully some old and weak people and collect some protection fees. We can’t beat them!”
‘The guards didn’t dare to look up at the bandits.
“If you don’t hand over the goods, we will attack.”
The leader of the bandits roared.
Several bandits untied the kerosene on their horses’ backs and prepared to fire.
“Such a narrow path, blocked from the front and back. With a fire, we’re finished.”
‘When the guards walking in front saw this, they raised their weapons and shouted at the bandits opposite them, “We surrender and let us live.”
“Surrender, very good! Throw the weapons over!”
The bandit shouted.
The other guards seemed to be able to survive if they surrendered. They swarmed forward.
“Retreat!”
Seeing this, the entire family’s steward shouted loudly, but it was useless.
‘The surrendered groups approached the bandits and threw their weapons in front of them.
“Why are you so stupid? With weapons in your hands, you still have a chance to counterattack. If you throw away your weapons, you are nothing!”
The steward shouted.
However, at this moment, no one listened to him.
“A bunch of cowards!”
‘The bandit leader looked at the group of guards and said disdainfully.
“My saber hasn’t even drawn blood, and I’ve already surrendered so much!”
“Kill them, I’m afraid of dirtying my knife!”
“It’s fine. Didn’t we take in a group of brothers recently? Those who haven’t submitted their blood yet, let’s see their blood!”
As the bandit leader finished speaking.
A group of saber-wielding bandits walked forward and slashed at the guards who had already thrown down their weapons.
‘The guards without weapons were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. One by one, they lost their heads.
Seeing this, the guards behind grabbed their weapons and returned.
At this moment, the group of bandits finally understood that these bandits had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
Losing the weapon was equivalent to suicide.
All the guards panicked at this moment.
On the carriage, Li Mu changed his position and lay down.
His divine consciousness landed on the captain of the guards who was hanging behind the convoy.
‘At this moment, the guard captain was hiding in a bush by the roadside. He had already taken off his guard uniform and changed into a bandit outfit.
The important thing for the entire family to escort this time was on this guard captain.
“Isn’t it
just a jade slip! Using so many lives as bait.”
Li Mu’s divine consciousness swept across the Qing Ling Mountain range.
Dozens of women walked down the mountain step by step.
Li Mu couldn’t help but sigh at the luck of these women.
After scaring away many bandits last night, this group of women easily escaped from the bandits’ nest.
Today, a large number of bandits had to go down the mountain to plunder again, giving this group of women a chance to escape again.
However, Li Mu knew that after these bandits snatched the jade slips, it was not too late to turn around and capture these women.
“Being able to run so far after being poisoned is already their limit.”
Li Mu’s divine consciousness probed into the distance again.
It was as if the battle in front of him did not exist.
The bandits chased after the surrendered guards.
‘They knew that if they didn’t kill these guards and kill all the people they relied on, it would be impossible for these people to fight with the treasures in their hands.
While the bandits in front made their move, the bandits behind also made their move.
Surrender and be killed!
Escaping meant death!
‘There was no way out.
Inan instant, the guards formed by the hooligans were provoked.
‘The mountain path was narrow, and there was no hope of breaking out. However, if the attacker wanted to break in, he would have to spend some effort.
Shouts filled the valley.
When the attack was blocked, the bandits lit a fireball and threw it into the guards.
On the carriage, Li Mu buckled the sack under him and took out a handful of beans.
When the bandits were about to charge in, Li Mu threw out a bean.
One or two bandits who attacked at the front would lose their footing and slide down the cliff. The entire attack would also fail for a moment because of the setback.
In the battle above, the bandits gradually reached a draw.
Among the guards, the timid ones with low cultivation levels were basically killed.
Among the remaining people, many of them were elite guards trained by their families. These guards cooperated with each other, and some hooligans fought fiercely. The line that was originally retreating quickly slowly stabilized.
This stability was only an effective way to shrink the battlefront. It was not as crazy as when they were killed by the bandits.
In Li Mu’s divine consciousness, after the bandits charged in, the leader of the guards was lying in a pile of corpses.
After the bandits charged into the canyon, they slowly got up from the ground and ran away.
The guard captain’s invisibility ability was very strong, and his cultivation was not weak either.
Other than Li Mu, no one else in the valley discovered him.
The battle continued.
As Li Mu finished throwing the beans in his hand, all the guards in the entire valley were dead except for the steward.
Including those hooligans who wanted to cause trouble for Li Mu, their heads had long been chopped off by the bandits.
The bandits suffered heavy losses.
Less than a hundred people were alive, and all of them were seriously injured.
Just as all the bandits thought that they had won, the steward suddenly stuffed two pills into his mouth. Then, a powerful aura exploded.
Boom~
The battle continued.
Fifteen minutes later, the steward was minced into meat paste, and there were only thirty bandits left alive.
“What a good show! The battles in this world seem to be like this. They are both greedy and treat life as a game.”
Li Mu got up and flew up the cliff. Then, he crossed the canyon and landed on the mountain path in front of him.
Then, he walked forward.
The surviving bandits endured the pain and began to check the convoy.
Four hours later, the canyon was filled with food and sacks. The carriage had been dismantled into parts.
“How can there be none? Look through these corpses!”
Two hours later.
‘The stomachs of all the guards on the ground were cut open.
“How could there be no news? Is there a problem with the news?”
“We might have missed something!”
“Count the number of people!” the bandit leader said.
Fifteen minutes later, a few bandits gathered.
“Two guards are missing!”
“Where is he?”
“There’s only one way to Ancient Ming City. And he can’t pass through this canyon first.”
One of the bandits said.
‘When they received the news, they had been guarding this canyon.
In two days, all the men who passed by this canyon were killed. The girls who were still alive were all captured and brought back to the mountains.
“We lost so many people, but we didn’t catch them. Damn it!”
“He hasn’t been to this canyon before, right?”
The sky gradually tured dark.
Squeak squeak~
The sound of a group of carriages came from the mountain path.
More than thirty bandits looked at each other.
“Should we stop them?”
“We only have thirty people, and all of them are seriously injured. It’s impossible to stop this convoy!”
On the Qing Ling Mountain Path.
Li Mu walked forward step by step. Dozens of women not far away from him supported each other as they walked in the same direction as Li Mu.
Dozens of miles behind him, a convoy quickly approached him.
The captain of the entire family was among them.
‘When night fell, Li Mu’s figure flashed and disappeared from Qingling Mountain.
Soon, he appeared outside the city.
Then, a figure appeared in a certain family’s library.
