Chapter 48: Preparation

When the source of the voice was closer, Duan Qing saw the appearance of the other party clearly, it was several men wearing unknown animal skins or sweat toils on their heads.

This group of people did not find Duan Qing hiding in the jungle on the side of the road, and they were still talking, not that the girl in the Qinglou family was smart, or that she was eating and drinking spicy food with the big boss.

After seeing the other party leave, Duan Qing walked out again, looked in the direction where several people left, and walked towards Hutou Mountain.

"Those few people looked at their dress, maybe they were from Hutou Mountain, but they didn't expect to arrive so soon. Along the way, Duan Qing didn't find any other figures, but this also made him relieved, if he didn't encounter it, the less likely he was to be discovered.

"This should be the foot of Hutou Mountain, you can't be careless, find a place to go up and have a look. ”

After saying that, he approached the edge of the woods at the foot of Hutou Mountain, where there should be a way up the mountain.

Duan Qing shuttled between the woods little by little, and there was no other sound around except for the low cries of birds and beasts, which also made him vigilant, because the closer he got to the mountain, the closer to the gathering place of those bandits, and he rushed on a rampage, just afraid that he would be attacked by the other party as an enemy.

What's more, the other party's big boss is a powerhouse of the ninth rank of body refining, this is the person with the highest cultivation level that Duan Qing has encountered so far, except for Bai Ling, not to mention, there may be other masters among that group of bandits.

Vigilantly moving slowly, the rustle of leaves just covered up Duan Qing's footsteps, and it didn't take long for Duan Qing to walk halfway up the mountain, and the woods here were even denser, just when Duan Qing was about to speed up his pace.

Suddenly, several noises could be heard in the woods not far ahead.

Duan Qing hurriedly pressed down his body, put his body close to the ground, restrained his whole body's breath, hid his body against the dense vegetation, and looked nervously ahead.

But fortunately, although the voice was noisy, it didn't get closer, and after waiting for a while, Duan Qing continued to walk towards the sound, and when the voice was already very clear, Duan Qing didn't go again, but looked through the gap between the leaves.

When Duan Qing saw the vision in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but widen a little, in front, it was actually an incomparably huge cottage, neatly stumped, sharpened ends, arranged side by side, becoming a solid line of defense, and in the middle, it was a large wooden door, several sentry posts were being set up above, and there were also a few astute people who kept looking around.

Duan Qing can only see the gate of this cottage, but can't see the situation inside, this unknown situation undoubtedly makes people dare not be careless.

I glanced at the gate of the cottage a few more times, there were a few people from Hutou Mountain doing something, but it had nothing to do with Duan Qing, he carefully moved his steps, did not make a sound, and after leaving the place, Duan Qing walked to another place.

That is above this cottage, the top of Hutou Mountain.

"This cottage is most likely the base camp of those bandits, but these bandits are also really vigilant, and they built the village here, far away from Luojia Town, and they don't even tell others the name of the cottage. Duan Qing silently despised the cunning of the bandits in Hutou Mountain, and now if he wants to reap the benefits, the difficulty is not the slightest bit.

Intuition told Duan Qing that there must be masters in the cottage, and there was more than one, otherwise he would have been wiped out by the bandit team organized by Luojia Town.

But this is also good news, that is, this group of bandits should have the strength to compete with the team escorted by Luojiazhen, and if they add another fire, both sides will definitely fight to the death.

"I have to think of a good way to let the Luo family and Hutou Mountain fight to the death, when the time comes, the scene will be chaotic, and I will have a chance to start, otherwise my strength is not enough." "I was thinking about a plan in my heart, but I was already unconsciously coming to a farther place.

"This is here?" Duan Qing suddenly came back to his senses, "It seems that I was too engrossed to go so far." ”

Looking back, the cottage was long gone, blocked by the vast woods, and I didn't know where to go.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Duan Qing's mouth, and he began to observe, this place is also surrounded by patches of woods, and it is also a little far away from the plank road, but you can still see a little shadow of the plank road at the foot of the mountain from the high ground.

"This is a good position to observe, and even Luojiazhen can still see a little shadow. Duan Qing looked along the plank road in the direction he came, and the huge town of Luojia Town imprinted some corners in his eyes, although it was a little blurry.

After taking a general look, Duan Qing squatted down and found a few stones and branches to put on the ground.

"That's how it should be here, and when the time comes, go straight down. ”

"No, no, if it really happens, it is impossible for the Luo family to be unguarded, they should be closer. ”

Duan Qing pinched a branch and drew a route map of Luojia Town to Hutou Mountain on the ground, which is really a bit similar when you look closely, which is also due to the strong memory of the warrior.

"This plank road between the Luo family and Hutou Mountain is long and narrow and a mountain, and the people of Hutou Mountain only have to guard both sides of the road, and when the time comes, there will be an ambush, and the Luo family is likely to be unable to prevent it, if the Luo family hijacks it, it will inevitably take this road. Duan Qing suddenly used a tree branch to gently draw a line on the ground, and then pointed to a location on the ground map.

Duan Qing considered all kinds of situations, and felt that this was the most likely, and he believed that the Luo family was not stupid, and if they didn't choose this path, the probability of the destruction of the whole army was at least seventy percent, which was not something that anyone could bear.

After erasing the map on the ground, Duan Qing acted again, and this time, he was preparing for the arrival of the Luo family and leaving a back hand for the people of Hutou Mountain.

The time of the arrival of the Luo family is getting closer and closer, it is past noon at this moment, but I don't see any movement of the Luo family in Luojia Town, with a high-pitched shout, a large number of people and horses directly from the center of Luojia Town, walked to the plank road.

This team of more than 100 people, the leader is none other than Luo Hu, who I saw not long ago, with a black scimitar hanging from his waist, his eyes like an eagle falcon, and he is riding an unknown dark horse-like mount with an expressionless face.

Several monsters dragging large cargo boxes were also like Luo Hu's mount, but they were relatively inconspicuous green, and each car was guarded by several armed guards.

In this way, the team was not in a hurry and steadily drove towards the plank road in the direction of Hutou Mountain.

On the other hand, ten miles in front of Hutou Mountain, a group of big men were resting with all kinds of weapons, but they saw a person in front of the team talking to the others about this.

"Brothers of Hutou Mountain, we are all displaced and spurned bandits, others say that we are a group of pests in Hutou Mountain, and no one wants to get rid of them quickly, but no one has ever eradicated us, do you know why?" A man with a goatee was spitting at the crowd in front of him.

"Because we're not afraid of death!"

"No, because we have a great master, and it is he who took in our brothers, so that we are not suffering from hunger. ”

"That's right, if it weren't for a few masters to take us in, we would have been dead in the wild, and the people of the Luo family didn't have a good thing, so we must make them look good this time. ”

After listening to Goatee's words, the crowd of big men was angry, and kept waving their weapons and shouting, and when Goatee saw this, he hurriedly made a gesture, and everyone slowly calmed down.

"I know that everyone is unhappy in their hearts, and it is good to be scolded or beaten, but today, what I want to tell you is that as long as we do today's ticket, we will no longer have to sleep in the open. ”

"In a short time, the Luo family's escort team will enter this place, and the things they carry are all good treasures, if we rob them, it will not only frustrate the Luo family's spirit, but also rob the rich and help the poor. The goatee raised his voice, and the crowd roared.

"Rob the Luo family! rob the Luo family!"

"Okay, okay, today's task is very important, so the big boss has already made a plan at the beginning, our road is lined with dense forests, it is an excellent hiding place, as long as we follow the plan and hide inside, the people of the Luo family will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" The goatee waved his hand vigorously, making a slashing appearance, and his face was also angry.

"Then Hall Master Sun, what do you think we should do, if we hide too closely, the people of the Luo family will definitely find out, but if we hide too deeply, it will be a lot of trouble to contact others to act together. One man stepped forward and asked questions.

"This big boss has naturally thought it through, there are a few Baili Yin for signaling, let's divide it into several teams, hiding in different positions on both sides of the plank road, once the Luo family's escort team is discovered, I will urge Baili Yin with true qi and others will know the situation, and when the time comes, I will personally lead everyone to attack." After speaking, a few short sticks that were a little shorter than wooden sticks and covered in pitch black appeared in the hands of Hall Master Sun and distributed them to several subordinates.

"However, I must tell you that there must be no mistake in this operation, and no one is allowed to act without permission, and if anyone startles the snake, he will be killed on the spot. When Hall Master Sun said the last word, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at everyone present, and suddenly the others shuddered and nodded again and again.

"Let's act!" Hall Master Sun waved his hand and led a few people to continue in the direction of Luojia Town, in order to prevent accidents, he was ready to personally go to the front and wait for the people of the Luo family this time.

The others did not hesitate to receive the order, followed by a few leading men, and began to prepare with their weapons.

On the one hand, the Luo family escort team in Luojia Town, all of them are elite soldiers, and Luo Hu leads the team, and no one dares to stop them, but on the other hand, they are all people in Hutou Mountain, acting according to the plan, waiting for the arrival of the Luo family.

On the other hand, Duan Qing once again came to the cottage of Hutou Mountain, this time, he was ready to sneak in secretly to find out, but in order to prevent being discovered, he has been vigilant in his heart, always paying attention to the changes around him,
