Yanzhou Taishan County, located in the east of Yanzhou, borders Qingzhou in the north, Xuzhou in the east, and Yuzhou in the south, and is also the only place for Yuan Yao to return to Yuzhou from Qingzhou.

Mount Tai has such an important strategic location, but because of this, when the three brothers of Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, they also took a lot of care of Mount Tai. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down later, there are still many thieves in Taishan County. After Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, he originally planned to take time out to solve the bandits in Taishan County, but due to Cao Song's death, Cao Cao gave up this plan and attacked Xuzhou first, and then Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou due to the Lu Bu Rebellion, and he did not have the time and energy to pay attention to the bandits in Taishan County. So although Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou for some time, the situation in Taishan County has not changed as before.

Taishan County Shou is Ying Shao, this person is a native of Nanton, Runan, when he was young, he was well-read, smart and studious. But although Ying Shao has only learned people, he can also govern a county, but the situation in Taishan County is more critical, although Ying Shao has talent and learning, but he does not have many troops, and he does not have much ability to command troops, so he can only let Taishan bandits run into trouble, as long as the trouble is not too big, Ying Shao does not care.

It's not that Ying Shao doesn't want to take care of it, but now his top boss is fighting with Lu Bu for control of Yanzhou, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to the bandits in Taishan County for the time being. Although Ying Shao has a heart, he is powerless, and he has nothing to do about the many bandits in Taishan County for the time being, so he can only pray in his heart that Cao Cao will solve Lu Bu as soon as possible, and order someone to pacify the bandits in Taishan County.

Ying Shao acted like this, and many bandits in Taishan County became more and more rampant, and the things of blocking the road and robbing can only be said to be normal. Without guards, ordinary people dare not pass through Taishan County, for fear of being hacked to death by those thieves who came out of nowhere, and their corpses will be thrown into the wilderness.

When Yuan Yao went to Qingzhou to seize the whip, he took Yu She, Wei Yan, Qi Ji, and Qin Yi with him, and this time he returned to Yuzhou from Qingzhou, and there was another Li Ye by his side, a total of six people.

After leaving the nameless mountain where the old master lived in seclusion, Yuan Yao and his entourage took the path under the leadership of Li Ye to avoid Liu Beijun's blockade and entered the territory of Taishan County, which can be regarded as a tiger's escape.

Qingzhou can be said to have suffered heavy losses this time, not only did he not get the whip, but even Jian Yong, an important minister under Liu Bei, died, so Tai Shici became crazy and ordered his army to block all the main roads, and be sure to leave Yuan Yao in Qingzhou.

It's a pity that this time Yuan Yao has one more Li Ye by his side, Li Ye has been studying in front of the old master for a long time, and he also knows a little about Qingzhou, under his leadership, Yuan Yao and his party avoided Liu Beijun's blockade, and left Qingzhou under the nose of Tai Shici and entered Taishan County.

After searching for several days without success, Tai Shici also understood that this matter could not be concealed, and immediately ordered someone to report the matter to Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and asked Liu Bei to come back and preside over the overall situation.

Although Tai Shi Ci is strong in force, but now Qingzhou is also fluctuating because of this incident, Tai Shi Ci alone may be difficult to suppress the entire territory of Qingzhou, at this time only Liu Bei can return to stabilize Qingzhou as soon as possible. Therefore, Tai Shici did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered someone to inform Liu Bei of the matter of Qingzhou after discovering that he was a little out of control.

Of course, Yuan Yao and his party of six did not know about these things, after stepping into the territory of Taishan County, the group of six people breathed a sigh of relief, Taishan County is not under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei now, and Tai Shi Ci cannot send troops to pursue them in this place, and they are out of danger. Otherwise, once Tai Shici discovers his traces in Qingzhou, even if the group of six people finally has the confidence to get rid of the pursuit, it will be very troublesome, and it is very good to be able to leave Qingzhou safely now.

In the mountain and forest paths, Yuan Yao and the six of them rode a few demon horses at the level of the Iron Bone Realm that they had caught temporarily, although Li Ye was a literati, he also practiced swordsmanship on weekdays to strengthen his body, and there was no problem with riding horses or something.

At this moment, the six of them walked side by side, Yuan Yao and Li Ye were in the middle, and the other four were lined up on both sides of the two, forming a protective trend for the two.

Although Li Ye's cultivation is also very strong, he has positioned himself as Yuan Yao's mastermind, how can he make a move at will?

Looking at the dense forest next to the mountain forest path, Li Ye had a flash of light in his eyes, and then released his soul power, and only retracted it after a while. And Li Ye's action was only noticed by Yuan Yao, who also cultivated the power of the soul and was not shallow because of the Nine Turns Golden Pill.

"Shi'an, what's wrong?"

In the face of Yuan Yao's inquiry, Li Ye smiled and said: "Childe, it is rumored that there are many bandits in Taishan County, not only the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but also countless bandits, you said that we have been walking for so long but we have not even encountered a single thief blocking the road, is this because we have not encountered it or they dare not attack us?" ”

When Yuan Yao heard this, he also released his soul power, sensing the movement of the surrounding four directions, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneering smile, and said: "I don't think that's the case, but they think that we are a big fish, and they have already been ambushed in front of us, waiting for us to take the bait and eat us in one fell swoop." ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Ye also laughed when he heard Yuan Yao's words, but the conversation between Yuan Yao and Li Ye made Qi Ji and Qin Yi a little confused, but Yu Shi and Wei Yan glanced at each other, and then reached out and picked up the war knife hanging on the demon horse, and began to be vigilant.

After the group traveled for almost a mile, the mountains and forests on both sides of the trail suddenly shouted and killed, and then about dozens of people with rudimentary war knives and wooden guns ran out of the mountains and forests on both sides, surrounding Yuan Yao and the six people.

When the shouting sounded, Wei Yan stepped forward with a horizontal knife, and the horizontal knife stopped in front of Yuan Yao and Li Ye, while Yu Shi retreated with a horizontal knife and guarded the rear. Qi Ji and Qin Yi were one on the left and the other on the right, protecting Yuan Yao and Li Ye in the center.

Yuan Yao looked at the dozens of bandits and grass robbers who rushed out to surround his group of six at this moment, and the power of his soul swept through, and Yuan Yao knew the cultivation realm of these people.

A group of bandits who have cultivated to the highest level and only have the Iron Bone Realm dare to block their way, and it seems that this group of bandits is not very good, but it seems that there is a master hidden?

Yuan Yao's brows furrowed slightly at this moment.

With the strength of this gang of bandits, even if Yuan Yao was alone, he would be able to kill them to the ground, but the hidden master attracted Yuan Yao's interest.
