Chapter 14: Mountain Bandits!
Lu Chen took a look at the map, although it was a simple map, but he also marked the terrain of this area very completely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAnd the mountain bandit's lair they were going to was not very far from here, just two not very high mountains apart.
Lu Chen plunged into the mountains and forests, and the mountains and forests of the Tang Dynasty were more primitive than in his previous life. Obviously, few people usually come to these places, Lu Chen is vigorous in the dense jungle, shuttling quickly, although the mountains and forests are full of all kinds of thorns and weeds, but this has little impact on Lu Chen, he always finds the best way to go in an instant.
When he reached the top of the first mountain peak, Lu Chen, who was moving forward quickly, suddenly stared, and the next moment, he saw him quickly climb to an ancient tree beside him, and then stared at the front.
It wasn't long before a slight sound of footsteps came from ahead.
"Lao Liu, you said that this time the owner of the village asked us to arrest those wealthy young ladies and young ladies, is it reliable?" A gruff voice came.
"I don't know, but as long as we succeed in kidnapping one, then we don't have to stay in this unsightly place in the future, and the world is so big, we just need to go to a random place and be incognito, even the emperor can't do anything about us"
"That's right, but we'd better be careful."
Not long after the voice came, Lu Chen, who was hiding in the tree, saw two bearded men in sackcloth walking towards this side, both of them were very typical of mountain bandits in terms of clothing and physical appearance.
From their conversation, Lu Chen could hear that these two people had gone to the mountains and forests to arrest them, the noble sons and young ladies. In this regard, Lu Chen just sneered, since Tang Xuanzong chose this place, how could he not do a good job of safety measures? Even if these people succeed in kidnapping one, he believes that someone will rush into the bandits' lair as soon as possible and get them out.
Soon, the two big men came to the tree where Lu Chen was hiding, and saw Lu Chen on the tree swooping down from the tree to the two of them, like a nimble flying swallow, without making the slightest sound.
Flutter~
A cold light flashed in the air, and the saber in Lu Chen's hand had pierced the chest of one of the big men, and the other was startled and hurriedly waved the big knife in his hand to slash at Lu Chen.
Seeing this, after Lu Chen pulled out the saber from Dahan's body, he quickly rolled to the side, avoiding the big knife that was chopped down from above, and then backhanded the sword, directly cutting off the arm holding the big knife in Dahan.
Looking at most of the neatly dropped arms in front of him, Lu Chen sighed in his heart: This saber is really sharp!
Although he sighed in his heart, the movements in his hands did not stop, but he saw that the saber in his hand was reversed in the air and directly put on the neck of the big man.
Feeling the slight coolness coming from his shoulder, the big man was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, and said with a frightened face, "Little brother, spare your life!" I'm just passing by, and I don't have the slightest malice towards you! ”
"I know, you didn't find me, how could you have malicious intent towards me?" Lu Chen said lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes, please raise your noble hand and let me go" said, and he actually kowtowed to Lu Chen.
"Although you have no malice towards me, but I have malice towards you, tell me which cottage you are from? Of course, you can choose not to say it, but the consequences are very miserable," Lu Chen still said in that calm tone.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, cold sweat flowed from the big man's face, he could feel it, as long as he didn't say it, the young man in front of him would definitely not show mercy, this young man put too much pressure on him.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly told Lu Chen in detail about the situation of his cottage.
Lu Chen's guess was right, this big man was from the mountain bandit stronghold that Li Ji planned to end, according to what this big man said, the few mountains near here are the territory of their cottage, and there will be no other mountain bandits.
There are more than 10 gangs of large and small mountain bandits on this Cuihua Mountain, their cottage is relatively weak among them, and the strongest force is the famous Cuixian Pavilion, which occupies the highest hills of Cuihua Mountain, and there are thousands of members.
And the cottage where this big man is located only has more than 80 people.
After talking about his own situation, the big man looked at Lu Chen with a begging face, and kept shouting for mercy, only to see that Lu Chen didn't speak, and turned around calmly, as if he was leaving.
Seeing this, there was a hint of murder in the eyes of the big man, and the only remaining hand quickly stretched out to the big knife that fell to the ground before, at this moment, Lu Chen, who had just taken a step in front, suddenly turned around, and the sword quickly slashed across the big man's neck, and the big man covered his neck with an unwilling face and fell to the ground.
Lu Chen turned his head calmly, he didn't intend to let go of these two people from the beginning, the reason why he turned around was just to let this big man relax his vigilance, and at the same time to see if this big man had a dead heart, and the result really didn't disappoint him!
Lu Chen stepped forward and cut off the heads of these two big men, and then buried them under a tree, which was proof that he had hunted these mountain bandits.
At the end of each spring hunt, the emperor would reward them according to the amount of prey they received, and the mountain bandits were naturally among the prey. Lu Chen buried it just because it was inconvenient for him to act with two heads.
After dealing with this place, Lu Chen shuttled in the direction of the cottage again, when he came to this mountain, it was already late at night, fortunately, the moonlight at night was not very bright, through the clouds, only a layer of hazy silvery-white light was projected, which undoubtedly added a layer of cover to Lu Chen.
After Lu Chen quietly walked through a mountain forest, he finally saw the cottage, the cottage was built very simply, just surrounded by some trees and stones, however, this mountain is very steep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only in front of the mountain there is a huge wooden gate, and on both sides of the wooden gate, there are two big men standing on the guard towers made of trees.
These are the panoramic views of the cottage that Lu Chen saw, Lu Chen circled around this mountain, the surroundings were very steep, it was difficult to climb up, after understanding the surrounding terrain, Lu Chen left this place, and the sky was already bright at this time.
Lu Chen didn't go hunting, but went to a relatively hidden tree and began to sleep, after all, he hadn't slept all night, and now he was very tired.
It took more than half a day for him to come down from the tree, and Lu Chen walked around here, only to encounter a boar, which was cut off by his two swords. The saber that Lu Yi gave him, the more Lu Chen used it, the more he liked it, just like the thick fur of the boar, for this sword, there was no obstacle at all.
