Mount Quintalen.

Even if you look at the entire Dils Mountains, the Kuntalen Mountains are one of the most majestic. With steep mountains and lush vegetation, it is an excellent natural fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yaki's usual hot weather has also become much more refreshing here, with the mountain breeze blowing, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and a few birds chirping from time to time on the quiet path. If it weren't for the bandits, there would definitely be a noble lord who built a summer villa here.

Although there are no villas on this hill today, there are many buildings, but they are all used for military defense. Occupying this hill is the most powerful bandit group in the Dirks Mountains - the Chail Pirates.

The leader of the bandits, Chair, was originally a low-ranking officer in Arubania who was captured by the Yaki Army during a stealth reconnaissance mission, and then escaped death with his wits and eloquence and was sold as a gladiator. As a result, half a year later, this man succeeded in inciting the gladiators who were with him to revolt, and after the defeat, he himself miraculously escaped. After several years of dormancy, he finally managed to organize a group of slaves to escape from his master's castle and come to the grass in the Kuntalen Mountains. Because of his flexible mind, outstanding martial arts, and military knowledge, the Kuntalon Bandit Group was soon managed by him and gradually became a famous bandit group in this area. In the past, the official army had also sent troops to exterminate some small groups of bandits, but relying on the favorable terrain of Mount Kuntalun, Chail made several times the official army return in vain, establishing his prestige, and thus further strengthening his strength. Today, the Chail Pirates have become the most powerful bandit group in the entire Dils Mountains, with nearly 3,000 armed men.

Now, Chail was sitting in the hilltop hall, frowning at the gift slip that the minions had handed him. The forty-five-year-old man, with short hair and a beard with sideburns, cleverly concealed the fact that he had fallen slightly, his rough, scarred face made him look older than he really was, and his brown eyes were fixed on the gift list in his hand.

The gift was quite rich, but the names of the following subordinates puzzled him: Li Tianhao came to worship the mountain together with Tatar and Jimda. Tatar and Jim Da had heard of it, but they weren't originally from the same mountain. And who is this Li Tianhao, and he actually signed in front of these two thieves, is it a stronger bandit group than them? Impossible, his own intelligence would never have committed such an omission. Thinking of this, he asked his minions, "How many people are there in total?" ”

"Tell the owner of the village, there are five people in total, and ten minions with gifts."

"Hmm······" Chail hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Please." ”

The minion answered and turned to go out. Chail then commanded: "Gather all the leaders here at once!" Also, transfer another fifty people to ambush nearby in case of accidents. ”

"Yes!" The accompanying personnel immediately went to deploy. Ten leaders and fifty soldiers were already in place before the arrival of this group of visitors with unknown intentions. There was an unsettling atmosphere in the hall. When Chail saw that the arrangements were in place, he was relieved - it was his prudence to be fully prepared for uncertain things.

At this time, Li Tianhao had already walked into the hall with Tatar, Jimda, Muller and Alam. As soon as he entered the gate, a leader named Dutt stretched out his hand to block the way and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, please disarm before entering the door." ”

Before Li Tianhao could answer, Alam on the side had already drawn his sword like lightning, and before Dute could see what was going on, the saber on his waist had been picked off and dropped to the ground. Alam said angrily: "We are not captives, how can we have such hospitality!" ”

When Chail saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised: although Dutt was not the best samurai among the leaders, he was picked off by someone in just one move! And the other party turned out to be a child who looked only eleven or twelve years old! Seeing that this kid's swordsmanship is so fast, even if he does it himself, it will take some effort to take him down, and this person is just a member of the entourage.

I saw Li Tianhao say: "Alam, don't be rude!" We're not here to make trouble! ”

Seeing Li Tianhao say this, Alam had to retreat. Li Tianhao smiled and untied the sword at his waist and handed it to the minion, and at the same time said aloud to Chail: "I offended a lot just now, we made a special trip to visit the big boss today, there is no malice, naturally we don't need weapons; If someone with malicious intent arrives, he disarms his body, so how can he disarm his heart? ”

Chail's face changed when he heard this, was this sarcastic for his own cautiousness. Immediately stood up and said with a smile: "When the distinguished guests arrive, they should naturally be treated politely, and the scenery such as swords is too bad, and they are also afraid of disturbing the elegant guests of Yaxing." ”

As he spoke, he untied the big sword he was wearing at his waist, threw it to his minions, and said, "All the weapons are gone!" ”

Li Tianhao looked at Chail, and said with a smile: "The big boss is really heroic, it seems that he has come to the right place this time." As he spoke, he motioned for the rest of the group to disarm and walk into the hall together.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Caire carefully observed the uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived. Li Tianhao, Tatar, and Jimda sat in the guest seats in turn, and the other two stood closely behind Li Tianhao. The two of them were black and white, one older and one small, the younger one was named Alam who was eye-catching enough, but even more so was the young man in a white Paz robe, his handsomeness had to be noticed, compared to Li Tianhao, who was sitting in front, seemed much more ordinary. However, Chail is not a person who judges people by their appearance, he knows that the young man in front of him with different colors must have some background, so he immediately ordered the wine, and then said: "This Brother Li, today he brought the owner of the village on the top of two mountains to visit my place, I don't know what to do?" ”

Li Tianhao replied with a smile: "To tell the big boss, the two mountains of Tatar and Jimda have now become one, and they have elected them to be their masters. ”

"Oh? That's news. Chail was perfunctory in his mouth, and he was secretly calculating in his heart. As far as he knew, Tatar was a fairly stable man, and it must have been of great benefit for him to be willing to belong to Li Tianhao's men; And Jimda is a well-known stunned young man in the vicinity, and this guy must succumb to force if he can return to obedience with peace of mind. In this way, this Li Tianhao really has something extraordinary. immediately continued: "Brother Li made a special trip here, I'm afraid it wasn't just to inform you that you were the owner of the village, right?" ”

Li Tianhao smiled slightly when he heard this, stood up and saluted Chair and said, "Since the big boss is moving, he will get straight to the point." In this visit, it is really a major matter to discuss with the big bosses. ”
