Chapter 499: Ambush Failed
"Brother... What are you doing?" the second master had a robe to wear, and his thin body didn't seem to be as cold as before, and he walked out of the house to take a look.
The big boss looked at his group of brothers, chopping wood and preparing to make a fire to keep warm, and the sky gradually darkened. Why are these people, but also can be regarded as sharing weal and sorrow together, hardship in parallel, although I am a big master, but I also have no ability to let everyone live a full life, watching everyone work together, I also hope to give them a good life, especially you, brother... It's all because my brother used to be lazy and lazy, and since my parents left, my brother can only take you around to beg for food. β
"What do you say?" The second master was a little touched, and patted his chest, "Didn't my brother pull me up? You see that this body is not bad, but it is weaker, but my brother has food, isn't he the first to give it to me? I know that my brother is good to me, but unfortunately it is all to blame the centurion of the military camp, if it is not for offending him, how could we have been kicked out before the training of recruits." β
"Yes," the big boss looked at his busy brothers, "Everyone is bullied and abandoned by the barracks, and only when they gather together can they make a living together." β
"The big boss... The big boss..." Two voices outside the cottage shouted and walked inside.
All the robbers looked at it, and they were happy, thinking that Kong Li and Zong Peng had bought Paolo and came back, but when they saw that the two of them had empty hands, they were also a little disappointed and angry, could it be that the money was swallowed by the two of them?
The big boss came over and shouted: "Kong Li, Zong Peng, what are you two doing? Let you go and buy Paulo, why do you go back empty-handed?"
"Don't be angry with the big boss," Kong Li explained: "Zong Peng gave the money to the big boss. β
Zong Peng handed over the gold coin that the big boss had given him earlier, "The big boss... We haven't used the money yet, and Kong Li and I have found a batch of goods, which are about to pass through our Ertou Mountain. β
Everyone saw that Zong Peng and the two did not swallow gold coins privately, and they also let go of their prejudices in their hearts, and wanted to hear what the two had to say.
The big boss took the gold coin and looked at the two of them again, "Tell me, what kind of goods made you two so excited, and Paolo hurried back without buying it." β
Kong Li spoke first: "The big boss... When we arrived at Hetu City, we passed by the barracks, where six wagons were parked, all full of goods, and we also heard from the officers who loaded the goods that those goods were to be sent to Hongbang Town, and we heard that the snow there was so bad that it could not be connected to the outside, so we transported food from Hetu City. β
The big boss glanced at the others, "What do you think, brothers?" β
You look at me, I look at you, there is a desire for food in your eyes, after all, in this mountain, hunger is also a common thing, for hunting monsters, it is difficult for ordinary people to do.
Suddenly, one of the robbers said, "I think I can try it, big boss." β
"I also think we can try" said another robber: "Although this batch of goods belongs to the official, but it is not gold coins, the number of people in the transport team should not be much, the ten-man army is enough, and the strength of the ten-captain is not fixed, if we are lucky, we should be able to deal with the low-strength ten-captain." β
"Hmm" The big boss looked at the two people who had just spoken and agreed: "Seymour and Kunwen's thoughts are as I meant" and then looked at the second master, "Brother... I think we should grab this shipment for the whole winter, do you agree with my brother's idea?"
The second master looked at the big boss and nodded, "Brother... Everyone is in this mountain, full of hunger, and now it's winter, if we don't eat, we will die sooner or later, it's worth a try, brother... Although my health is a little worse, but this time, let me go with you, many people... The odds are also better. β
"Cheng" the big boss hugged the shoulders of the second master, "Why don't you brothers go together, for everyone to have something to eat, do a good job tonight." β
The big boss put away the gold coins, raised his hand, and habitually shouted: "The little ones... Grab the guys, and we'll go to the ambush. β
A group of people went along the mountain road to the official road, the night fell, the official road seemed quiet, the big boss came here with the robbers with torches in hand, the fire shone on the official road, the big boss took a closer look, there were no footprints on the snow, indicating that the team transporting goods had not passed here, this is a good omen "quickly ambush" The big boss commanded, and the robbers began to look around for the trunk that covered the body.
"Brother..." The second master held a torch in his hand and pointed to the official road in front, "Why don't I take two people to the front to ambush, if anyone escapes, we can intercept in front." β
The big boss thought about it and said, "Okay... You take two men with you, but be careful, and if there is danger, you will not come out. β
"Don't worry, brother... I will do things according to the situation" After the second master finished speaking, he looked at the two people beside him, "Rod, Parker, you two come with me." β
"Yes..." The two responded and kept up with the footsteps of the second master.
The robbers were ambushed on both sides of the official road, the torches were extinguished, and with the help of the faint moonlight, they observed the silent official road, waiting for the delivery team to appear.
There was a distance from the robbers who were ambushing, and the second master took Rod and Parker to choose a place to hide, but as soon as he hid for two breaths, Rod found a faint light shining into his eye sockets, and some subtle sounds came from his ears, which seemed to be not far from the official road.
"Second master," Rhodes whispered, "there's movement." β
The second master and Parker turned their heads to look, and saw where Rod was pointing, and a faint flame of light came into their eyes not far away, "What is this? Is it the delivery team?"
"What about the second master?" Rod asked.
"Let's go" the second master waved his hand "to see, if it is a delivery team, I will come to inform my brother of them." β
Just after the second master took the two of them quietly, in the official road in the direction of Hetu City, a dazzling fire appeared, and it was the delivery team.
The big boss was a little nervous in his heart, and hurriedly shrank his head behind the trunk of the tree, this is a ten-person army escorting food, now think about his own group of people, but there are only fifteen people, the odds of winning are really not much, this mainly depends on the strength of the ten masters, the six carriages slowly began to pass by where they were hiding, all the robbers hiding behind the trunk, a heart was raised to the throat, after all, this is an official thing, if you don't get it, you won't let go of your own group of people, wait quietly, all with the big boss's order, everyone will rush out desperatelyγ
The big boss closed his eyes, starving to death is also death, it is better to fight, a flint stone on the extinguished torch rubbed hard, "boom", the light of the fire attracted the attention of the soldiers, "the little ones give me" The big boss held a torch in his hand, and pointed his long sword at the delivery team.
"Don't panic" The ten-captain was at the front, and immediately drew the long sword at his waist, "Prepare to meet the enemy." β
"Whew..." The soldier listened to the order, and the sword at his waist was drawn in unison.
The robbers who were ambushed on both sides surrounded them from all sides, "Leave the goods, spare you from death, otherwise we will have no eyes on our swords" The big boss first threatened with words, trying to scare these soldiers, if they fought hard, they might not be able to get any benefits.
But who knew that a voice suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha... Who should I be? It turns out that the robbers in Ertou Mountain are actually Jinmuan, you fools. β
The big boss, along with the other robbers, trembled when they heard this, since the name of the big boss was known, Jin Mu'an looked at the person who spoke, "MD" and scolded in his heart: "Since it is in the barracks, the ten-division commander who drove his party out." β
The other robbers also recognized the face of the ten-master, and they all regretted coming out to rob it with some regrets, the strength of this ten-master was in the high-level swordsman, if it was said to deal with a group of his own people, it could be regarded as more than enough.
The Captain of Ten glanced at it and recognized these people who had been kicked out of the barracks by himself, "Hmph... A bunch of waste dares to rob me of the goods I transported. You are so bold that you have become their big boss, oh~ By the way, what about your brother? Why didn't you see it, did you see me hiding. β
Jin Mu'an was afraid that his younger brother would rush out, so his eyes looked at the official road in front of him, and the ten-captain kept staring at Jin Mu'an's eyes, which reminded the ten-captain "There, haha..." Shifu kicked his feet and quickly came to Jin Mu'an's side, and the long sword was put on Jin Mu'an's neck, "Hehe... You still don't put down your sword. β
Anyway, the brothers who have been sitting for a few months, and the others don't want something to happen to Kim Mu'an, so his heart is crossed, and the long sword in his hand is thrown to the ground.
"Take them, Kim Ann... Come with me, we'll go to your brother now" The ten-master seems unwilling to let go of one person, "You rob the things of the official's house, you have to be conscious, but don't worry... I'm very kind, find your brother, and I'll let you die. β
The soldier pointed his sword at the other robbers, drove the carriage in the direction of the second master's house, and when he came to the official road in front of him, he saw that the people were gone, but there were three people's footprints walking towards the woods.
"Hey, hey..." The ten-captain smiled: "I want to see where your brother can run, keep up" He waved his head and motioned for his subordinates to continue chasing after the robbers.
