167 Shazhai
Zhao Zhong, Feng Rufeng and the black-robed man "Heishui" listened to the rumors about the ancient ruins from the merchants, and the three of them were all excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since many of the merchants in this desert have said that they have heard this rumor, it seems that this ancient ruin is inseparable from ten in this desert oasis.
It's just that the oasis is entrenched by sand bandits, and it's very difficult to investigate there.
Ye Fan just listened, but he was silent and did not interject.
He traveled around under the guise of "the son of a family in Xiayang County", so it was not convenient to ask too much.
"There were three or four hundred of them, and they built a stockade in the canyon. This stockade is built on a mountain, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
"The lord of the nearest Xiayang city here once sent troops and horses to encircle and suppress the sand bandits in this desert. But if there were fewer people sent to fight them, they would flee to the depths of the desert and hide. Again and again, the sand bandits in the desert always resurrect. In the end, we have to let it go, and it will only hurt us businessmen!"
"Since there are three more Wuzun leaders, this group of sand bandits has become more and more rampant, directly occupying the canyon oasis and claiming hegemony. Whoever passes through here will be charged a toll. ”
The wealthy merchants gathered around the large bonfire to roast meat and drink, and scolded the group of sand bandits loudly, ate and drank to their heart's content, and only dispersed after late at night, and went back to their respective tents to rest, ready to continue their journey tomorrow.
Late at night.
In the tent of Ye Fan and others, Ye Fan and the three daughters discussed the matter of exploring the ancient underground palace together.
"You say, this rumored ancient ruin in the desert could be the ancient underground palace we are looking for?"
"Nine times out of ten, it is! The adventurer's map in our hand records that this ancient underground palace is near a canyon in the middle of the desert. Not surprisingly, in the middle of a canyon oasis. ”
"It's just that this adventurer map of ours is President Wang of the Donglai County Adventure Guild. Fifty or sixty years ago, the underground palace map obtained from a ghost clan martial artist. It's been so many years, and I'm afraid the situation here has changed a lot. We don't know anything about it here. ”
"So what are we going to do next? There's an extra sand bandit here!"
Cao Youwen was embarrassed.
Qin Yu'er burst with a sense of justice, and immediately said: "Of course it's killed! This kind of sand bandit is entrenched in one side, doing many evils, and he is innocent of death! We are just eliminating harm for the people of Xiayang County!"
Mu Bing pondered for a moment. Said: "In addition to the leader of the sand bandits in the sand bandit village, who is the fifth layer of the Wuzun period, there are also two subordinates of the Wuzun realm, which is a bit tricky. The four of us are afraid that it will be a little difficult to deal with them. Shall we ask Zhao Zhong and the three of them for help?"
Mu Bing had never seen Ye Fan really go all out, and in her estimation, Ye Fan's strength was equivalent to the appearance of the fourth layer of the ordinary Martial Venerable Stage.
However, the leader of the sand bandits is the fifth layer of the Wuzun Realm, and his cultivation is one level higher than Ye Fan. And she and Qin Yu'er are only one level of martial arts, and they are obviously weak.
In this way, they and the sand bandits will only have half a catty and eight taels of strength.
If you fight like this, you can easily lose. More people. to have a chance of winning.
"No! We don't have to ask them for help! A few of us are traveling in Xiayang County in the name of 'traveling all over the world', and it doesn't matter if we fight Shazhai or not. But the three of Zhao Zhong are here for this ancient ruin, where are they willing to return empty-handed!"
Ye Fan shook his head with a light smile, and said confidently: "The three of them are not the opponents of this sand bandit, they will definitely ask for us! ”
After leaving the Gobi spring stream, another six or seven days passed.
The team of more than 2,000 horses saw from a distance a large canyon in front of them. It lifted everyone's spirits. It would be nice to be able to take a break from the oasis in the canyon.
But I can't get in.
At the entrance to the canyon. Towering was a tall wood-walled stockade, miles long of which completely blocked the entrance.
On the wooden wall of the stockade, there are still a large number of sand bandits watching and guarding the canyon.
No horse team is allowed to rest in the canyon and can only be bypassed from one side of the Grand Canyon. Of course, I want to spare the past. You have to pay a toll, otherwise the bandits will rush out and loot the horse team.
Zhao Zhong and the three of them saw that this Grand Canyon was in front of them, but they were occupied by this sand bandit, and they couldn't enter at all. I can only leave with my eyes open.
Although I don't know if there are ancient ruins in this canyon, or if you can find good things in those ancient ruins. However, they were obviously disappointed that they could not get in.
Zhao Zhong and the three of them really couldn't hold their breath, and discussed with Ye Fan to help them break through the sand village. Of course, the benefits of breaking through the sand village will naturally be shared by everyone.
Ye Fan was waiting for this time.
The two sides discussed properly, and after taking this sand village, the benefits were opened. Ye Fan's side accounted for six, and Zhao Zhong's side accounted for four. Neither side suffers.
As for the ancient ruins of that mysterious island, whoever has the ability to find the treasure belongs to whomever owns it, and no one has to take advantage of others.
After negotiating the benefits.
Ye Fan also recruited Zhou Jushang and discussed with Zhao Zhong and the others, and everyone took down this sand bandit village together.
"This group of sand bandits is entrenched in this canyon, they will definitely not let us enter the canyon to find ancient ruins!
"And to exterminate this group of bandits, in the future, caravans will no longer need to pay large tolls when they pass here. Are you just willing to be exploited by this sand bandit every time you run a businessman? ”
Ye Fan smiled and encouraged Zhou Jushang to do it together. Zhou Jushang has a group of warrior guards under him, and it is best to deal with those ordinary sand bandits.
Zhou Jushang was shocked by their boldness, but he never dared to deal with the sand bandits.
However, on both sides of Ye Fan and Zhao Zhong, there were seven martial artists, and they had the courage to compete with the sand bandits.
Zhou Jushang was more worried: "What are the chances of winning? If I fail, I won't be able to do business here in the future." The sand bandits will definitely take revenge on me!"
"We have seven Martial Venerables on our side, which is enough to deal with their three Martial Venerable Sand Bandit Leaders. You also have two other martial arts under you, although they are a little timid and incompetent, but they can take hundreds of martial arts to kill other small sand bandits. The odds are at least ninety percent.
If you can take this sand bandit stockade, the gold, silver, jewelry, and other goods confiscated in the stockade alone will be enough to compensate for the loss of your caravan. Not to mention the long-term benefits. Save you a lot of money on tolls!"
"Okay, done!"
Zhou Jushang was finally moved and made up his mind. He had some confidence in Ye Fan and Zhao Zhong's seven Martial Venerables, and they could join forces to easily kill the Porcupine Beast Venerable, which was enough to prove their strength.
And once this kind of good thing is missed, he himself will not be able to invite so many martial artists to deal with the sand bandits here in the future.
Ye Fan and Zhao Zhong and Zhou Jushang secretly discussed for a while. The entire means and steps of attacking the cottage have been determined.
For the sake of secrecy, only a few henchmen of Wuzun and Zhou Jushang knew.
Zhao Zhong and Zhou Jushang were secretly shocked when they heard Ye Fan's technique of breaking through the cottage.
This horse team of more than 2,000 people stopped about five or six miles away from the cottage of the Grand Canyon.
Ye Fan sat in the luxury carriage and looked towards the cottage.
The cottage is built on the mountain, and the terrain is really dangerous, and it is not easy to attack it. There are a large number of sand bandits gathered in the cottage, and they are condescending. Under the volley of random guns and arrows, even Wu Zun will feel a headache.
If you attack it by force, you will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.
Subsequently, Zhou Jushang sent an alert wealthy merchant to the front of the wooden village with several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
When they arrived near the wooden village, they shouted, "The owner of the village can pass by from here and give a special gift of filial piety money." Drink tea to the owner of the village and all the brothers!"
Soon, the sand bandits on the wooden village laughed. The horse team sent them money. Soon the face of a thin, sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked sand bandit leader was revealed.
"Master Sanzhai! The small one is here to send filial piety money!"
The merchant recognized the leader of the sand bandits, who was none other than the three leaders of the sand bandits, known as the "Lynx", and immediately shouted loudly.
"Okay, that's enough, you can get over!"
The three bandits looked at the chests of gold, silver and jewelry. Estimated that there were tens of thousands of taels of silver, he couldn't help grinning and nodding with satisfaction.
He then glanced at the distant team of horses, and suddenly his eyes widened.
I saw that in front of the horse team, there was a stunning woman in Tsing Yi. He was riding a bright red horse, looking forward to it. The lady's luxurious temperament, long legs and thin waist, and beautiful posture were touching and touching that he had never seen before.
"Who's that woman?"
The three leaders of the sand bandits swallowed their saliva, looked shocked, and asked.
"That's a young lady from a big family in Xiayang City, the second lady of our team leader, this time I'm going to go back to my mother's house to save my relatives!
The merchant hurriedly said, and after speaking, he took a few grooms, put down a few gold and silver boxes in the cottage, patted the horses, and turned around and left in a hurry.
The whole team of horses also walked slowly, preparing to make a detour and pass by the side of the Grand Canyon.
The three leaders of the sand bandits on the wooden wall suddenly became anxious, staring at the beautiful woman in green clothes, and his heart was like a raging **** burning, and his bone marrow was itching.
In this desert cottage, in a remote place with poor mountains, some women who have been snatched back in the village are also mediocre people. Where is there such a beautiful woman, the young lady of a big family can be compared.
But this horse team gave the cottage a large amount of filial piety money in accordance with the rules, and according to the rules and morality, it is no longer possible to embarrass this horse team.
If he wants to let this horse team giant take the initiative to sacrifice his wife, he will definitely be rejected verbally, and he must be strong to grab it.
The team was leaving, and it had to be done immediately.
"No matter, being a bandit is robbing money and robbing sex, what kind of morality to talk about, grab it and talk about it!"
The three leaders of the sand village were heartbroken, and immediately shouted at the surrounding sand bandits, "Brothers, rush out with me, and grab a beautiful girl to come back to be Lao Tzu's wife in the village!"
"Oh, look, there's a beautiful woman!"
"Rush, go with the third master to grab a woman!"
The doors of the cottage were quickly opened.
The three leaders of the "Lynx" sand bandits screamed excitedly, and rushed out of the sand village with hundreds of sand bandit cavalry armed with iron guns, and rushed towards a large horse team four or five miles away.
The merchants and warriors of the entire horse team were suddenly a little flustered.
Ye Fan, Zhao Zhong, Zhou Jushang and others were preparing to lure the enemy and attack this cottage, but they did not reveal it to them, but only asked them to be vigilant.
First, it is easy for people who know how easy it is to leak secrets, and secondly, they are small traders and warrior guards, who are afraid and may not be willing to risk their lives to fight the bandits.
Only by tempting the sand bandits to attack, the more than 2,000 people of the horse team will gather together and fight back desperately.
I only heard a few cronies and wealthy businessmen under Zhou Jushang, all shouting loudly in the crowd, while quickly commanding the crowd, "Quick, the sand bandits are attacking regardless of morality, and the brothers are going all out to resist the sand bandits!"
"Here, form a sharp knife formation!"
"Damn the sand bandits! gave them money to buy the road, and they were greedy to attack. Brothers, fight with them!"
More than 300 warrior guards hurriedly drew their swords and formed a war horse formation, preparing to resist the sudden attack of this sand bandit. Otherwise, they will be defeated by the bandits, and they will all die.
As for Ye Fan, Mu Bing, Cao Youwen in the team, as well as Zhao Zhong's group of three, as well as Zhou Jushang. The two Wuzun guards and the others were not in a hurry at all.
This situation had been expected by them.
Standing in front of the horse team, it was Qin Yu'er who lured the enemy.
"Sure enough, I lured the master of the three villages out! Killing this wave can defeat at least one-third of the sand bandits' troops. It's much easier to attack the cottage again. ”
In the horse team, Zhou Jushang clapped his hands and laughed, applauding Ye Fan's strategy.
After the horse team was shamelessly attacked by the bandits, they would definitely have a big morale boost when they counterattacked the cottage.
Ye Fan just smiled lightly.
This kind of subplot is nothing, it's just that the three leaders of the sand bandits are too anxious. If you can't lure it out, then you can only kill a horse pistol at night tonight and attack the cottage at night.
With their strength, they will definitely be able to break through this cottage. This is the least costly one.
Cao Youwen next to Ye Fan also laughed and said, "Sister Yu'er's beauty, sure enough, even the sand bandit leader can't resist it! A big fish was lured out at once! There are still two sand bandit leaders Wu Zun, which is much easier to deal with!"
